Zhu Houzhao has never seen such an arrogant person.
Besides, this is not just an insult to him, but also to his father.
He immediately wanted to touch the ground for stones and fight with the warehouse manager.
"Nonsense"
Zhu Youtang gave Zhu Houzhao a sharp look.
Zhu Houzhao threw the stone away and angrily turned around and walked towards the door of the warehouse.
"Should I buy it or not?"
The people in charge don't care what they do. A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door is a person of the Zhang family who thinks he can't do anything.
Zhu Youtang looked at the black and gray city bricks piled not far away, called Dai Yi over, and after giving instructions in his ear, he followed Zhu Houzhao out of the warehouse.
"Father, that man is so arrogant, why don't you let the child teach him a lesson?"
Zhu Houzhao was still unwilling after he came out. Young Master Zhu has lived so long, except for his father Apart from Zhang Zhou, there was no third person who made him so angry.
Zhu Youtang did not answer his son's question.
At this time Dai Yi came out and whispered, "Master, we have agreed with the people inside and have people go in to purchase."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes widened and he said, " Are you so careless in purchasing such a piece of shit?"
Dai Yi on the side quickly grabbed the prince who was speaking so eloquently, and whispered, "Young Master, I want to leave evidence. There are some things that need to be done. "Explain it."
"Humph," Zhu Houzhao said softly, "I think the uncle and the second uncle are just full of food. If they don't do good things, you can tell what kind of people they are by looking at the people under him. ."
"Speak carefully," Dai Yi advised again.
Zhu Youtang looked at me with an expression that said, "I am still my son, you understand me." The father and son felt sympathy for each other again.
But the problem is
Your mother, my queen, she doesn’t think so.
We can only say that we are in the same boat.
Xiao Jing had already arranged the purchase and delivery of goods with the people in Dongchang. He came over and asked for instructions, "I don't know where to go next."
Zhu Youtang said, "The Ministry of Industry "Take me to see where the Zhou family's wood and stone materials are stored."
Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others could see that the emperor was quite strict. He couldn't say that he had only seen the Zhang family and thought that the Zhang family If it's not good, I won't go to see Zhou's family again.
What if the two families are evenly matched?
Xiao Jing replied, "In the Taiji Factory."
Zhu Houzhao said, "It can be worse than this." ”
When Dai Yi heard this, it made sense. Even if the materials supplied by the Zhou family and the Zhang family were really only half a pound, the Zhou family only asked for 65,000 taels, so of course it was cheap. of.
Zhu Youtang glared at his son and said, "You can tolerate the slightest sloppiness in building the Qingning Palace for the Empress Dowager. If there is such a material over there, I would rather send someone to purchase it." No need for anything."
In anger, Zhu Youtang ignored the previous reminder to his son not to mess with the rules such as self-identification.
The surroundings are quiet.
Everyone could see that the emperor was furious.
After a while, Xiao Jingcai carefully reminded, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The carriage is ready. Your Majesty, please come on board."
The father and son took people to the Ministry of Industry responsible for receiving the Zhou family's goods. Taiji factory.
The bidding was successful, and goods were delivered to Taiji Factory on the same day. Because there were officials from the Ministry of Industry in Taiji Factory, even if the middle- and lower-level officials did not know the emperor at all, they could still recognize Jin Yiwei. Outfit.
In addition, this was the boundary of the official family, so Zhu Youtang did not take his son into it easily.
There are many horse-drawn carriages parked at the entrance of Taiji Factory.
There are wood, stone, etc. on it. You can get a rough idea of it by walking around the door.
"Your Majesty, we have sent people in to check. The stone and wood are all of high quality."
Xiao Jing took the lead and took the Jin Yiwei in to check.
While he was reporting, Zhu Youtang also walked to a carriage and personally inspected the wood on it.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "This is much better, it doesn't look so worn. But that person is right, there is no difference if it is painted with wood paint."
Zhu You Zang glared at his son as if scolding him.
You kid are deliberately trying to argue with me
"Yan Guanzhao didn't even verify the matter. He actually did this when it comes to royal matters. It seems that I really should clean up the habit of talking about officials and doing things."
Zhu Youtang looked annoyed.
But then he seemed to think of something pleasant, and said with a comforting look on his face, "Bingkuan's bidding strategy has saved the court a lot of expenses. The gold and silver gained were confiscated from Li Guang's house. It is enough to build a few Qingning Palaces. It seems that the inner government can be more comfortable."
Dai Yi reminded, "But your Majesty's ministers have been saying that Li Guang's dirty money will be handed over. "Hubu"
"Huh"
Zhu Youtang made a disdainful sound from his nose.
The general meaning is that I sent people to find out Li Guang’s dirty silver, and it belongs to the private property of the Ming Dynasty Royal Household. You ministers still dare to take advantage of my pocket
Imagining the United States
Xiao Jing was in charge of security. He looked nervous and came over to ask for instructions, "Your Majesty, now that the verification has been completed, do you want to move back to the palace?"
"No rush." Zhu Youtang said, "Don't Bingkuan want to compete with the scholars in Shuntian Mansion for literary talents? Since I have already left the palace, I am not in a hurry to go back. You can send the prince back first."
"Goodbye, father. , after your son comes out, he will listen to you in everything. Why are you driving him away now? My son also wants to see if Zhang Qing’s family is really talented. If he is a famous person, what qualifications do he have to teach his son? Where is the minister?"
Zhu Houzhao finally left the palace. Now that he heard that there was still excitement, of course he refused to leave.
"Yes." Zhu Youtang nodded, "Then you come with me to have a look. By the way, go and call me Cheng Minzheng, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. I want him to come with me to check it out."
Dai Yi was puzzled."Your Majesty, Bachelor Cheng is responsible for making imperial edicts, and he also holds the post of Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu. I'm afraid he is busy with official duties."
Zhu Youtang said, "It won't take long to go there. Just show off."< /p>
The Yuesheng Tea House not far from the gate of the Imperial College was crowded at this time. Many people who heard that the two major Jie Yuan competitions between the North and the South would be held came here because of the fame. However, ordinary people were not allowed in because they had not been invited in advance. .
When Lin Han, the prince of the country, offered sacrifices to wine, heard about this, he shouted and cursed at Liu Shundao, "It's ridiculous to call everyone back. Fan Gongsheng is not allowed to go out to join in the fun."
Liu Shundao " Mr. Lin was offering wine, I'm afraid he won't be able to persuade him to come back now, there are too many people at the door, even the son"
"He also went"
"Yes, I heard that there are still people who come here specially I was called, maybe the second young master also wants to make a difference in this competition. This is a good opportunity to make a name for himself."
Lin Han didn't want his son to be in the limelight.
Lin Han said with a straight face, "I am rigorous in my studies and just pursue fame in the ears of others. What is the difference between Zhang Bingkuan and the actor Zhang Bingkuan?"
As he spoke, Lin Han said to Zhang Bingkuan Zhou's opinion is the boss.
But now as the principal, he has never seen his subordinates and students once. Even if he wanted to teach Zhang Zhou a lesson, he couldn't bring him over.
"Mr. Lin, Zhang Xuezheng hasn't entered the Yong Dynasty yet."
"Next time he comes, I will give him some color to see"
At this time Only half a street away from the Yuesheng Tea House, Zhu Youtang and his son climbed up to the attic facing the street in the Confucian Temple.
Non-official family members are not allowed to enter this kind of place.
It can even be said that non-royal people are not allowed to enter.
In this way, Zhu Youtang did not have to go out to join in the fun, but he could still see the hustle and bustle on the street through the wall of the Confucian Temple.
"Father, it's very nice here." Zhu Houzhao stood in front of the attic railing, holding on to the railing and looking into the distance.
Xiao Jing quickly reminded, "Your Highness, be careful."
Zhu Houzhao looked down and said, "This is not high, it will be okay if you jump down."
< p>Zhu Youtang was silent, and then someone came up to tell him, "Your Majesty, Bachelor Cheng is here.""Let him come up."
Afterwards, a man with a thick beard and a tall figure came up. Cheng Minzheng appeared in the attic.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Minzheng, is here to see you." Cheng Minzheng saluted.
"Cheng Qing's family is exempt from courtesy, come and sit down."
Zhu Youtang was also enthusiastic.
Because it was a competition of talent, no matter what the public opinion was, Zhu Youtang felt that he should invite someone knowledgeable to come over and help with the details.
By the way, he also had some selfish motives, that is, he wanted to find someone to give Zhang Zhou a heads up, just like Zhu Youtang had hoped for Wang Hao and Liu Ji before.
If Zhang Zhou fails to become a Jinshi in the next year, Zhu Youtang will certainly feel awkward if he wants to employ people but cannot.
Cheng Minzheng straightened up and was about to sit down when he suddenly found a boy standing next to him.
It is the prince.
"I'm here to see the prince"
"I told you not to be too polite." Zhu Youtang smiled, "I just took advantage of the nice weather today to take the prince for a walk in plain clothes. Let’s take a look at the people’s livelihood in the capital. I know that there are scholars from the Northern and Southern Capitals competing in the Yuan Dynasty. I asked you to come here because I want to hear your opinions on their talents.”
“Yes.”
Cheng Minzheng looked confused.
With his talent and learning, he can judge the talents and learning of several Hanlin officials. Today, he was actually called by the emperor to judge the talents of two officials
Overqualified and underutilized.
At this time, Xiao Jing came over and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei just sent someone to inform him that Mr. Zhang, accompanied by Zhu Qianshi, had come to Beiyong in a carriage. It will be here soon. Dongchang has also sent people there, and news will come at any time."
"Okay"
Zhu Youtang nodded with a smile, and then pointed to Cheng Minzheng. The tea cup in front of him "Cheng Qing's family, let's have tea."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Cheng Minzheng immediately felt honored.
While the person involved, Zhang Zhou, had not yet arrived, Zhu Youtang said to Cheng Minzheng, "Cheng Qing, you have always been outstanding in talent and learning. You are also very famous among the scholars of the Hanlin Academy and the capital. I heard that you have a close relationship with the people." Scholars also have many friendships. Who do you think is more talented among these scholars who have not yet been selected as Jinshi?"
"This"
What Cheng Minzheng meant after hearing this, It doesn't seem like a good thing to say.
Cheng Minzheng said, "Yesterday I met two scholars from Jiangnan, one named Xu Jing and the other named Tang Yin. Both of them are very talented, especially Tang Yin."
"Haha." Zhu Youtang smiled, "Are you talking about the Yingtianfu Rural Examination Asia Yuan?"
"Ah"
Cheng Minzheng was surprised.
The emperor actually knew that Tang Yin was the second in the Yingtianfu Township Examination
It seems that the emperor really cares about these young candidates. No wonder he came to witness an inexplicable literary competition in person .
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Today is a chat between the monarch and his ministers. You don't have to be reserved and can speak freely. In fact, I have always admired your talent and learning. To tell you the truth, I actually have the intention to promote you to the position in the future." "Sir, I plan to take you as the main test candidate next spring."
Cheng Minzheng couldn't sit still anymore, and quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I can't afford this."
"Sit down." "Zhu Youtang said, "I have read the books you compiled recently, and I have a lot of impressions, but after all, I cannot decide on court affairs alone, and the transfer of official positions must be done casually. Once you say it, you don’t have to take it too seriously."
Cheng Minzheng looked complicated.
He was thinking in his heart, Your Majesty is really good at talking and laughing. He said that I would be the examiner of the general examination, and also said that I would be appointed to the cabinet. This is not something I should take into my heart.
