September is approaching.
The autumn air is crisp in Nanjing, and it is also the time to enjoy chrysanthemums and have a literary gathering. It coincides with the gathering of scholars in Nanjing, and the literary style in the city is very important.
On this day, Zhu Houzhao, led by Sun Che and Gong Yeping, went to attend a cultural gathering, and then
he became depressed.
He still used the same old tricks as when he attended cultural conferences in various places on his way south. They were all clichés. When he arrived in Nanjing, he couldn't get enough of this trick. On this day at the cultural conference, he was ridiculed to his face.
"A child of no more than ten years old, whose knowledge of craftsmanship is not yet complete, or who has read a few words in spiritual works, thinks he has some talent, and thinks he can do anything."
"In terms of fame, anyone here is better than you."
"In terms of talent, everyone here can talk it out, just ask if you can"
Zhu Houzhao screamed in anger. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to hit someone, but Sun Che stopped him.
Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Who said I won't let my horse come over?"
"Okay, whether you write a poem or let anyone here come up with a title will depend on your craftsmanship." "High or low" the other side said aggressively.
Gongye Ping said, "You are so ashamed. You know that our young master is young and do not discuss studies with him, but you still decide the outcome with poems and articles. Could it be that your understanding of mental studies is too shallow? Even he is not as good as him, and he wants to bully others."
"Who are you talking about?"
A group of people stood up on the opposite side.
He looked like he was about to fight, but Zhu Houzhao looked a little alone.
The young master opposite said with a smile, "If you are not good at learning, just go back and study for a few more years with your tail between your legs. In a few days, there will be a literary conference held by Yingtian Mansion. At that time, Lai Guogong and Lingnan, Famous scholars from Jiangxi, Gansu and other places will attend, and it is said that Cheng Minzheng, a bachelor of politics, will personally host it. In the end, a ten-year-old child will only hurt Zhongyong."
"It's too much to bully others."
Zhu Houzhao has always had a smooth life, but he has never been ridiculed like this
He wished he could go up and tear the man's mouth apart right away, but he didn't have the advantage at all at the scene, and he hated himself for not bringing more Call someone.
Wait until you go downstairs.
Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin, "Go, send troops, I want to level this building for him."
Liu Jin said hurriedly, "Master, let's not make trouble, this is not the place." Capital. Your identity needs to be kept secret."
Just as he was saying this, Sun Che and Gong Yeping came out, both of them looking unhappy.
Originally, I was just showing off with my "big benefactor" Zhu Shou, or helping the benefactor to show off, in order to get some money for food, drink and fun from this kid. Who would have thought that today If you don't pretend, you get scolded directly, it feels like eating fly excrement.
"Young Master, don't be on the same level as them. I'll find you a literary club tomorrow and you'll definitely be able to overwhelm them." Gong Yeping said.
Zhu Houzhao said, "My talent and learning are terrible, aren't they?"
“Ah”
Both Gong Yeping and Sun Che were greatly surprised.
It’s enough to say that I’m not good at learning, but I actually use the word “bad” to describe it
Is this self-reflection?
I was upstairs just now looking like I wanted to eat Why does he look so dejected now? His mood changed so quickly.
Sun Che said, "Master Zhu's talents and learning are not bad, especially his understanding of mind science, which is rare in the world. As for The so-called craftsmanship and other knowledge require time to accumulate. Even if you don't have fame now, you will definitely be famous in the future."
Zhu Youtang shook his head and said, "It's impossible, I won't be able to do it in my life. "The one who was named on the gold list"
"Why?" Sun Che said, "Is it the young master?" Anyone who is qualified to take part in the imperial examination, including military households, is no exception.
Zhu Houzhao didn't want to explain to Sun Che and the others, so he asked Gao Feng, "Have you gone to the Jiangning County government office to see when they will release him?"
The implication is that he wants Hu Feng to be released. After being fished out of the cell, he parted ways with Sun Che and the others.
From what Sun Che and Gong Yeping heard
You can’t help me become famous, and I’ll be embarrassed if I go out with you, so let’s break up.
Sun Che said to Bai Bai, "We went to see him before. There is nothing wrong with him. As long as we contact his family and pay the atonement money, we can come out. We also gave the accommodating money. How dare the jailer I'm in trouble for a student."
"Well, let's go back to the inn."
Zhu Houzhao was in low spirits.
It was originally agreed that Hu Feng would rent him a large villa to live in, but because Hu Feng was accidentally convicted and imprisoned, the matter was postponed for now.
Zhu Houzhao also felt that it was a wonderful thing to live in an inn and enjoy the fireworks of the world that he could not experience in the palace.
But his mood was not very good.
At this time, he is in the cell in Jiangning County.
As a "visitor", Zhang Zhouzheng and Yin Wuxiong of Yingtian Mansion went to the county government to visit Hu Feng, who was accused of pushing someone downstairs.
When the Yamen brought Hu Feng out, Zhang Zhou and Wu Xiong were dressed in casual clothes, and even the county magistrate could only stand aside and laugh.
The magistrate of Jiangning County is none other than Mi Jing'an, the former magistrate of Shangyuan County.
Originally, Mi Jing'an was just a civil servant. After his term as magistrate of Fuguo County in Jingxian County, he should resign and return to his hometown. As a result, because he paid homage to the dock early when Zhang Zhouzhong was dismissed from the Yuan Dynasty, the Nanjing official department He directly sent him a magistrate from Jiangning County
At this moment, Mi Jing'an felt that he had met his relatives, and he was very respectful to Zhang Zhou.
"Here we come." Mi Jing'an smiled.
"Yes." Zhang Zhou stood up, and Wu Xiong stood up as well.
Only Mi Jing'an was wearing official uniform at the scene. He didn't know what kind of big shot Hu Feng was, and he was panicking.Zhang, who is this person worthy of Duke Lai Guo personally coming to the county government of Jiangning County to visit me? Should he be released immediately?
Hu Feng does not need to kneel when he sees Mi Jing'an, he "Mi Zhixian, can the students leave?"
Mi Jing'an said, "Don't worry, there is someone here who wants to see you. You two, I will not disturb you, please leave first."
Now Mi Jing'an also has a sharp eye. When the Shangguan comes to ask a prisoner who has been detained for a few days, it is better to avoid it and avoid hearing anything he shouldn't hear again.
Wu Xiong did not avoid it.
Wu Xiong also wants to know the origin of the guy Zhang Zhou came to see today. Judging from what Yingtian Mansion checked before he came, Hu Feng is just an ordinary student, nothing special. Strange.
But because Zhang Zhou was born in "Xuanmen", maybe this student has unknown abilities
"You two." Hu Feng didn't know how to call them, but Bow your hands in salute.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "No need to be polite. I heard that you were imprisoned, so I wanted to come and have a look. I heard that you are talented and knowledgeable."
Hu Feng also has a certain amount of knowledge, and he is also a philistine. , he saw that the person who even the magistrate of Jiangning County was afraid of must have a background, he said, "I am reading the books of sages and do not dare to show off in knowledge. I also want to learn more from the sages and strive to achieve something in the future."
"Very good, I have ambitions." Zhang Zhou nodded, "I heard that you have two friends who have also dabbled in and researched the emerging psychology."
"It's all superficial knowledge." Hu Feng said, "There's no research to be done."
"It's very good, the future is bright." Zhang Zhou pointed to Wu Xiong with a smile and glanced at Wu Xiong. , probably saying, look, this is a talent.
Wu Xiong said, "I have checked his case and found that his crime is not serious. He can go back at any time."
Zhang Zhou nodded and said, "The compensation must be in place and the ransom must be paid. But you shouldn’t be too greedy, especially if you want to steal other people’s money.”
Hu Feng was confused.
Are you talking to me? Why is it like a book from heaven?
Who are these two?
When we met, we didn’t say anything. This educates me
Are you my father or my teacher, why are you saying this to me
"Come here." Zhang Zhou ordered.
Immediately, someone came in, holding a wooden box. Zhang Zhou said, "There are five strings of money in it, which should be used to compensate for the medical expenses of the injured. Sir, this way you will not be involved in the case and you can leave." "
Hu Feng was a little curious about the two people in front of him before, even a little disrespectful. At this time, he immediately changed his expression to respectful and said, "Your Excellency, how can I be worthy of you? "Is it possible that such appreciation is due to an old friend of mine?"
"Hmph," Wu Xiong hummed.
He was thinking, if you can really make an old friend with this Lai GuoGong, you will be prosperous.
Zhang Zhou shook his head and said, "I didn't know you before coming here, I just heard about your reputation.. When you go back, treat others with your heart. Don't talk to outsiders about what happened here today. Just say that your relatives and friends have sent you a fine of atonement so that you can get out of the prison. Let's go. See you later. ”
“That”
Hu Feng was not completely confused now, his brains were simply smashed into pieces and his brains were a mess.
Just gave me the money and let me go
It’s such a good thing
“Please, Mr. Hu. "The county government officer hurriedly came forward to invite Hu Feng out.
Hu Feng was dejected, but he could only thank Zhang Zhou first and left the county government.
p>"Who is he?" Wu Xiong finally couldn't help asking after Hu Feng left.
Zhang Zhou said, "He belongs to the prince." "
" Hiss. ”
Wu Xiong now knows that the prince is in Nanjing, but Zhang Zhou did not talk to him about any more details and did not allow him to leak them to the outside world.
Wu Xiong is still Thinking that Hu Feng was Zhu Houzhao's entourage brought from the capital, he immediately felt that Mi Jing'an had done something very stupid and wanted to teach him a lesson. Mi Jing'an was not at the scene, so he couldn't say nonsense
"Anyone who can be admired by the prince will definitely have a bright future in the future. It doesn't matter if I help him. "Zhang Zhou smiled.
"Yes. "Wu Xiong thought that Zhang Zhou was building a relationship with the people around the prince.
But in fact.
Zhang Zhou was just trying to avoid being "distracted" by Zhu Houzhao. , came here to redeem himself, of course he had a more "important" thing to do.
"Master, the person is here. "After Zhang Zhou and Wu Xiong said goodbye at the yamen gate, Zhang Zhou got on the carriage and stopped not far away. Liu Gui came over to report.
"Yes. "Zhang Zhou made a sound.
Then a man who looked like a scholar followed Xu Jing and came closer.
The car curtain was not opened.
Xu Jing said on behalf of the man "I told the young master exactly what he said. It is said that when he left, the young master's face turned green with anger. He was probably furious. "
The scholar said, "I am just a ten-year-old child, and what I say is from my heart. "
Zhang Zhou said from behind the curtain, "Very good, he can do things." Give reward money. "
"Here you go" Xu Jing then threw the reward purse that he had prepared to the scholar.
The scholar was about to leave happily.
< p>Xu Jing reminded, "If you dare to speak out, you will know the consequences.""I know, as I said, I will leave Nanjing today and never come back again. You two, please look after me. ”
The person who went to ridicule Zhu Houzhao was the one Zhang Zhou asked Xu Jing to find.
Then
it was time for Zhang Zhou himself to appear.< /p>
Zhu Houzhao has become wild, and we cannot let him continue to be so wild. In addition to giving him a blow to his self-confidence and letting him know that there is always something outside the world, it is also to help him regain his mind and cultivate his character as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhou is also thinking about thisthing.
If you want to make Zhu Houzhao famous and make his trip to Jiangnan worthwhile, you must first make Zhu Houzhao want to become famous.
How could Zhu Youtang be so happy if this kid didn't do much to help him, and then the punishment for running away from home could be easily imposed?
"For his sake, You naughty kid, I really worked hard." Zhang Zhou also felt that he was a bit tired as a nanny.
When Zhang Zhouren arrived at the inn, he just said hello to the counter, and was taken upstairs by Dr. Cha to the door of Zhu Houzhao. He saw Liu Jin and Gao Feng talking at the door. The two saw Zhang Zhou, with a look of horror in his eyes.
It feels like being a thief and being caught.
"You two don't have to be polite, I'm here to pay homage to Mr. Zhu Shou." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.
"Inside." Liu Jin hurried over and saluted.
"Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded, "Let me pass it on."
Liu Jin knocked on the door and heard Zhu Houzhao's voice coming from inside, "Don't bother me, I can handle it myself." ”
“It’s Mr. Zhang who’s here,” Liu Jin said.
"Which Mr. Zhang?" Zhu Houzhao said angrily.
"Cough cough" Zhang Zhou coughed twice.
When Zhu Houzhao heard the sound, he felt something was wrong for a moment, and then came over to open the door. After seeing Zhang Zhou, his eyes showed a little surprise at first, and then he opened the door with a "bang" as if a mouse had seen a cat. It's closed.
"That's very polite." Zhang Zhou waved his hand, meaning to let Liu Jin and Liu Jin leave first, and then he opened the door and went in.
Zhu Houzhao sat on the chair and did not get up to greet him. He said gloomily, "Why did you find it?"
"Humph" Zhang Zhou closed the door and said coldly, "You You really think that you are so powerful that you can hide it from everyone. Do you know how many people will suffer because of your willfulness?"
"Anyway, you don't have to suffer, I'm not here to see you." Zhu Houzhao was still arrogant.
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty already knows about your journey south. I told him not to let you go back in a hurry. Otherwise, why do you think the journey south was so smooth?"
"You You knew where I was earlier."
Zhu Houzhao was shocked.
My emotional escape plan is all under your control, Zhang Bingkuan
Then he thought of something, slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, who are you? Just by pointing, you will know where I am, right?"
"Why didn't I send you back to the capital, nor show up in person, let you eat, drink and have fun all the way south, and take you from both sides? My uncle spent his money everywhere and even let you roam around Nanjing city," Zhang Zhou asked.
"Well. Why?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Zhang Zhou said, "Isn't this what you like?"
Zhu Houzhao said with a sigh, "Tsk, tsk, since when did you become a traitor who caters to my prince's preferences?"
Zhang Zhou Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "In the eyes of the minister, I am not good atAre you a treacherous minister?"
"Forget it, there are treacherous ministers like you who do big things for the court, but I won't argue with you. Finally, you still have some loyalty and didn't send me back to the palace directly. "Zhu Houzhao seemed to have become a reasonable person now.
Zhang Zhou said, "Why have you had enough fun in Jiangnan and want to go back?"
Zhu Houzhao remained silent.
Zhang Zhou said again, "I heard that you encountered some unhappiness today."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "I can't hide anything from you. How many people have you sent to my side?"
Zhang Zhou said, "Really?" No, but there are rumors that there is a ten-year-old child who came to Nanjing from the capital to visit relatives. He has a very good understanding of mind science, and he even stands out in many academic circles. Isn't this you?"
"Am I so famous?" Zhu Houzhao asked with excitement as if he had wiped away his previous displeasure.
Zhang Zhou said coldly, "When you become famous, people will naturally target you. I want to compare you with my talent and steal the reputation that should belong to you. "
"Oh. "Zhu Houzhao said, "You mean, the people who made trouble for me today did it on purpose."
Zhang Zhou thought to himself, you are really right. They did it on purpose, or did I secretly instigate them to do this?
"How do you learn to feel better than others?" Zhang Zhou said, "What you have experienced is exactly what I have experienced. ”
Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, suddenly as if he and Zhang Zhou were in sympathy with each other, and said, “I understand. They are jealous of me. They know that I am famous and want to suppress me. No wonder you gave me this.” The imperial court has done so many things, but your father obviously thinks highly of you, but he still wants you to come to Nanjing to avoid suspicion. Those literati are unreasonable. "
Zhang Zhou said angrily, "Don't overturn a boatload of people with one stroke, okay? You are not a scholar and I am not."
"I didn't say anything about us. "Zhu Houzhao said, "We are different from them. Think about it, the civil servants who are most respected by those literati are the same. By the way, Mr. Zhang, can you?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it. "Zhang Zhou said.
Zhu Houzhao said with a look of longing, "I think I want them to know that they are wrong. ”
“So”
“I want to surpass them in terms of talent. Not only the study of the heart, but you also have to teach me the study of the heart. I heard that there is a big literary conference recently. , I want to stand out and make those literati feel ashamed when they see me, so that they no longer dare to look down on me, a ten-year-old scholar. "
Zhu Houzhao said his ideal.
Zhang Zhou thought to himself that he finally lived up to my hard work.
Zhang Zhou said, "You are cheating. "
Zhu Houzhao said, "Mr. Zhang, you don't mean to say that you don't have the ability to suppress them."
"Haha. Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "The method of provoking generals is useless to me. However, I have told Your Majesty in advance that when you go south, you will increase your knowledge and knowledge. At the same time, you will let the world know that you are talented and capable of governing the country, and that you are worthy of the crown prince." name. ITell your majesty that I want to make your name in Jiangnan, otherwise what meaning will this article have to me?"
"Really?" Zhu Houzhao was excited, "This article will be done for me"
Zhang Zhou nodded and said, "My reputation does not need to be accumulated through cultural meetings, but it is you who need this kind of prestige. This will also allow you to be extra merciful when His Majesty punishes you after returning to Beijing.
Zhu Houzhao said with a grateful look on his face, "Either way, Mr. Zhang is good to me. I understand. You are working so hard for me." You tell me, sir, and I will follow what you say. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
