Don't talk about Chu Jiayi's misunderstanding in her heart.

Just when Zhao Junchen took Xu Qingyan and Fang Ru to the main hall, in the main hall of the Zhao Mansion, those people from the Zhao family in Yangzhou were also gathering at the door at this time, all waiting for Zhao Junchen's appearance with a restrained attitude.

In fact, the Zhao family is also one of the few local wealthy families in Yangzhou, but Zhao Junchen's rich and luxurious mansion is also something they have never seen. And all the rules in the mansion of the powerful people in the capital like Zhao Junchen are even more unprecedented, coupled with Zhao Junchen's current power in the court, as well as the complicated relationship between the two sides, now they finally want to meet Zhao Junchen, but they can't help but be unrestrained.

…………

Among them, Zhao Deqing, the current head of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, was particularly worried and complicated at this time.

When Zhao Junchen's mother was kicked out of the clan, Zhao Deqing was not the head of the Zhao family, and it was not a decision made by him, but Zhao Deqing did not stop it, and even upheld a supportive attitude - although Zhao Junchen's mother was his own sister!

Regarding this matter, Zhao Deqing thinks that neither the Zhao family in Yangzhou nor himself has done anything wrong, and this kind of thinking and attitude has not changed so far.

Without him, the Zhao family is a big family in Yangzhou, how many pairs of eyes are staring? And the woman in the clan is pregnant before marriage, how much impact will it have on the family's reputation?

The elders of the family can collude with the government to forcibly occupy the fertile land, and the children of the clan can be rampant and bully men and women, but the women in the clan can lose the face of the family if they are pregnant before marriage, but it is absolutely not!

This kind of thinking is not only Zhao Deqing, in this era, the vast majority of landlords and wealthy families think like this.

However. The only thing that Zhao Deqing didn't expect was that after being driven out of the clan, Zhao Junchen not only did not starve to death, but actually came out of the way, not only being admitted to the top prize. And in just a few years, he has become one of the hottest ministers in the court!

In this way, Zhao Junchen, the illegitimate son, is not only no longer a shame for the Zhao family in Yangzhou, but has become a glory! Not only has it become a glory, but it can also bring great benefits to the Zhao family!

In this case. With Zhao Deqing's mercenary nature, he naturally had the intention of reconciling with Zhao Junchen, and over the years, he sent people to Beijing many times to contact Zhao Junchen, but Zhao Junchen did not wait to see the Zhao family in Yangzhou, and repeatedly showed favor to Zhao Deqing over the years. But he didn't pay attention to it, he just treated him coldly.

Just when Zhao Deqing's mind was getting colder, he didn't think that Zhao Junchen would take the initiative to contact the Zhao family! Not only did he contact the Zhao family, but he also proposed to select a few children of the Zhao family to enter the Guozijian to become prisoners, and even select a woman from the Zhao family to bring into the harem to become a nobleman!

Whether it is Zhao Junchen's active contact, or the great benefits brought by Zhao Junchen. All made Zhao Deqing ecstatic, and his eyes seemed to have appeared the glorious appearance of the future of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, so after the New Year, Zhao Deqing had personally rushed to Beijing with the elders of the clan to see Zhao Junchen, wanting to strike while the iron was hot and step up the repair of the friendship between the two sides.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Junchen had obviously taken the initiative to contact them, but after they came to Beijing to ask for a meeting, they still had a hot face and a cold butt, although Zhao Junchen admitted them to the Zhao Mansion to stay. also entertained them with delicious food and drink, and did not restrict their freedom, but they were dragged out of sight, and to this day, it has been a long time.

And then. Zhao Deqing has just appeared, and Zhao Junchen is probably still resentful of the Zhao family in Yangzhou.

Now that he is finally going to meet Zhao Junchen, how should he deal with Zhao Junchen, who is still resentful of the Zhao family in Yangzhou? And how will Zhao Junchen treat his own people?

Thinking of this, Zhao Deqing felt a little uneasy in his heart.

After all, with the power in Zhao Junchen's hands now, how much benefit he can bring to the Zhao family, and how much disaster he can bring to the Zhao family, it is only in Zhao Junchen's thoughts.

…………

After thinking about it like this, Zhao Deqing suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked his cousin, Zhao Deshun, the only elder in the clan who had a great reputation: "Deshun, when we see him, what should we do?" Although we are his elders, we are now a high-ranking official in the DPRK, so do we call him by his name to show affection? Or do you call him 'sir' as a sign of obedience? Do you want to bow to him? ”

In the Ming Dynasty, because the scholars were able to reduce or exempt many taxes, there were generally a few clansmen who had achieved fame among the wealthy families in various places, and in the Zhao family in Yangzhou, such a role was held by Zhao Deshun, and Zhao Deshun was second only to Zhao Deqing in the Zhao family.

After hearing Zhao Deqing's inquiry, Zhao Deshun pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Although it is said to be a family banquet today, it stands to reason that there are not so many rules, but in my opinion, Lord Zhao's resentment towards our family has not disappeared, and people are now noble, so between words and deeds, it is better to be cautious. If his attitude is better, then we will gradually become more intimate with him, but if he has a strict attitude, we must be more respectful and careful. ”

Zhao Deqing nodded again and again, and hurriedly instructed Zhao Deshun's intentions.

Most of the Zhao family members who came to Beijing with them were Zhao Junchen's uncles and uncles, and many of them had higher seniority, but no one resisted Zhao Deqing's instructions, and they all agreed.

In the final analysis, after all, they haven't been in touch for many years, and the people of the Zhao family in Yangzhou still regard Zhao Junchen as the object they need to curry favor with, rather than a relative in the clan.

At this moment, Zhao Deqing suddenly heard behind him, there were two juniors in the clan, discussing something softly.

…………

"Zhao Xuantong, have you heard? This time, Lord Zhao seems to be going to arrange all of us juniors to be prisoners in the Guozi Prison! Hehe, that's the Guozijian! Isn't that where you've always wanted to be? I heard that only the show talents who raise people or local scholars and politicians can enter, and I also heard that once you become a prisoner, if you get the recommendation of the Guozijian again, you can directly enter the court as an official without passing the guò will try the palace test, hehe, our clan has this Lord Zhao, but it is really a blessing! ”

The one who speaks. His expression was full of frivolity and pride, it was Zhao Xuancheng who had met and talked to Zhao Shancai before.

The person who talked to Zhao Xuancheng was a young man named Zhao Xuantong, who was also the younger generation of the Zhao family in Yangzhou, but compared to Zhao Xuancheng. This Zhao Xuantong is much calmer, his expression is more quiet and delicate.

Zhao Xuantong explained: "If a person is raised to enter the Guozi Prison, it is called a 'Lifting Prison', and if a Xiucai is promoted by the local school and government to enter the prison, it is called a 'Tribute Prison'. The 'shadow prison' is not a lot of places, and the Beijing officials above the fourth rank in the DPRK can only arrange one junior to enter the Guozijian, so Lord Zhao can't arrange it. Therefore, if we people can really enter the Guozijian under the arrangement of Lord Zhao, I think it will be the 'Grace Prison', and it will be specially admitted to the prison by His Majesty. ”

Hearing Zhao Xuantong's explanation, Zhao Xuancheng was a little stunned at first. Obviously, he didn't know this, but then he pouted and said: "Xuantong, you are selling your knowledge again, among our cousins, you like to read the most, and you always say that if we don't study, we have no knowledge and no knowledge, and we still sell our knowledge at every turn." But if you want me to say, what's the use of dying like you to study? Haven't you been wanting to go to Guozijian all these years but can't?

I'm not as knowledgeable as you. But the result? If the news comes true, we will not only be able to enter the Guozijian directly, but in the future, with the care of Lord Zhao, it is very likely that we will be recommended by the Guozijian, and we can directly become an official, which is easy and convenient, but it is much more useful than you who can only study to death! If you want me to say, you are reading all day long, and you are about to lose your head to read. ”

"The books of sages can increase knowledge and cultivate sentiment, but how can they read stupidly?" Zhao Xuantong couldn't help but retort. But there was a little stubbornness in his expression, but he really looked like a nerd.

Zhao Xuancheng said proudly: "How could it not? What is reading for? Isn't it for fame and being an official? But after becoming an official, what can you use for those things in your book? Don't you have to rely on your own means and backers? If you really believe in those things in the books of the sages, do you think you can get mixed up in today's officialdom? ”

Hearing Zhao Xuancheng and Zhao Xuantong's voices, Zhao Deqing was just about to say "Silence". Suddenly, someone outside the main hall of the Zhao Mansion said in a cold voice: "It's useless to read? But if you can't read even the most useless and simple books, what will you be able to accomplish in the future? ”

Hearing this voice, all the members of the Zhao family in the main hall turned their heads to look, only to see a young man dressed in luxurious clothes and a graceful temperament, looking at them with a frown.

Who this young man is, they don't know each other, and they haven't seen it, but behind this young man, there is Xu Qingyan, the head of the Zhao Mansion who had greeted them, and Fang Ru, the concubine of the Zhao Mansion who has been entertaining them these days!

And the only one who could let Xu Qingyan and Fang Ru follow behind him was Zhao Junchen in the Zhao Mansion.

Obviously, the person who came was Zhao Junchen!

Thinking of this, the faces of the Zhao family in the main hall changed, and then under the leadership of Zhao Deqing, they all saluted Zhao Junchen and said "My Lord".

Among them, Zhao Xuancheng, whose views had just been directly refuted by Zhao Junchen, were even more pale and looked frightened.

But Zhao Junchen didn't pay attention to the Zhao family's salute, just staring at Zhao Xuancheng with a frown.

Zhao Junchen didn't expect that the "theory of the uselessness of reading", which was once prevalent in later generations, had already been put forward at this time.

"For your own good, remember my next words." Zhao Junchen said slowly to Zhao Xuancheng: "Reading, whether it is rote memorization or reading comprehension, as long as you work hard, that is, you don't need to intrigue, you don't need to be tired, you don't need to look at other people's eyes, you can say that reading is the easiest thing in the world, if you can't even read well, but wishful thinking that you can do other things, it's just wishful thinking!"

In this world, from ancient times to the present, there are people who can achieve great things without learning or skill, but there are very few! And there are people who study hard but end up being useless, of course, but they are also very few! Don't have such luck in your heart, and don't just think about leaving your fate to others, otherwise you will end up with nothing. ”

Zhao Junchen's voice was cold and calm, and he didn't mean to be angry, but it also scared Zhao Xuancheng to death, and after hearing Zhao Junchen's words, he was even more stunned and didn't react.

Seeing Zhao Xuancheng like this, Zhao Deshun on the side hurriedly said, "What are you doing in a daze!" Why don't you thank Lord Zhao for his attentive teachings to you!? ”

After hearing Zhao Deshun's reminder, Zhao Xuancheng's body trembled, and finally reacted, and hurriedly said to Zhao Junchen: "...... Thank you for your teachings. ”

Zhao Junchen didn't pay attention to Zhao Xuancheng anymore. Instead, he turned his head to look at Zhao Xuantong and asked, "Listening to what the two of you just said, do you like to read very much?" Can you get famous? ”

I didn't expect Zhao Junchen to turn to him again, but Zhao Xuantong, who was originally a bit nerdy, did react faster than Zhao Xuancheng. hurriedly replied: "My lord, I just passed the scientific examination last year and won the quota of students, and I will take the township examination next year." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded and said, "You may recite Song Zhenzong's "Encouragement of Learning" back then?" ”

Zhao Xuantong nodded, and then recited: "Rich families don't need to buy good land. There are thousands of bells in the book. There is no need to erect tall buildings to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book. Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book. The boy wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, and the six classics are read in front of the window. ”

Zhao Junchen nodded appreciatively and said, "It's word for word, it seems that you are really working hard." The reason why the books of the sages are valued by the world. There is a reason for it, and if you read it carefully, it will always be more profound than you think. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Zhao Xuantong naturally nodded hurriedly.

Zhao Junchen's words are naturally not perfunctory, these days, Zhao Junchen has always been taking the air to study the legendary and mysterious "imperial mind". However, the so-called "imperial mind" is actually the content that Confucianism has learned from the depths. And the "Imperial Heart Technique" taught by He Ming to Zhao Shancai is actually just an induction.

However, when Zhao Junchen suddenly said these words, it was naturally not a whim.

At least, after hearing Zhao Junchen's remarks, Zhao Deqing and Zhao Deshun glanced at each other, and both nodded thoughtfully.

Zhao Junchen's statement is actually to show the Zhao family what kind of changes he needs the Zhao family to make in the future. What kind of talents do you plan to promote from the Zhao family? Zhao Deqing and Zhao Deshun are smart people, so they naturally understand the meaning of this.

…………

On the other side, after teaching Zhao Xuancheng and Zhao Xuantong, Zhao Junchen turned his head to look at Zhao Deqing, the current head of the Zhao family, and asked, "You are Zhao Deqing, the current head of the Zhao family?" ”

Zhao Junchen said it politely. did not respect Zhao Deqing's uncle at all, but Zhao Deqing didn't dare to be angry at all, just bowed down and said: "Yangzhou Zhao Deqing, I've seen adults." ”

Zhao Junchen nodded, stretched out his hand to the banquet next to him, and said, "Today is a family banquet, you don't have to be polite, just sit down." ”

While speaking, Zhao Junchen had already come to the table and sat down first.

And with Zhao Junchen's seat, the people of the Zhao family also sat down one after another.

The Zhao family came from Yangzhou with nearly twenty people, but it filled two tables, among which the elders of the clan accompanied Zhao Junchen to sit at one table, and the juniors of the Zhao family sat at the other table.

Then, Fang Ru sat next to Zhao Junchen, and Xu Qingyan sat on the other seat.

After everyone sat down, the servants of the Zhao Mansion took the dishes like flowing water, and the banquet had begun, but those people from the Zhao family in Yangzhou all looked at Zhao Junchen secretly, that is, they did not dare to put down the chopsticks and pick up the dishes at will, nor did they dare to speak at will.

From the time Zhao Junchen appeared to the present, he did not show the slightest intimacy, which of course everyone in the Zhao family could see, so they were also extra careful.

And Zhao Junchen now treats the Zhao family as an official, but he doesn't consider their feelings, after the dishes are prepared, Zhao Junchen should first raise his chopsticks, and while putting vegetables on the plate, he said casually: "Everyone is free, I said, since it is a family banquet, there are not so many rules, and there is no need to be too restrained, the chefs in my house are not bad, and there are a few dishes that are not bad even if they are put in the palace, you can taste whether you like it or not." ”

Everyone in the Zhao family didn't even dare to shirk politeness, and when they heard Zhao Junchen say this, they all followed the chopsticks and tasted the dishes, and then praised one after another.

And Zhao Junchen turned his head to Zhao Deqing and said: "These days, the court has been busy, and you have come all the way from Yangzhou to visit me, but I haven't taken care of you for a while, and I hope you don't want to be surprised." ”

Zhao Deqing was responding to Zhao Junchen's call to put vegetables on his plate, and after hearing Zhao Junchen's words, he hurriedly said: "My lord, where are you, we are all a family, why do we need to see outside." ”

It's obviously a family, but it's calling 'adult' in his mouth, which seems a bit nondescript.

While speaking, Zhao Deqing also looked at Zhao Junchen's expression cautiously, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Zhao Junchen did not object to the word "family" in his mouth.

Zhao Junchen continued: "Actually, in two months, I will accompany you to the south, with Your Majesty Xià to the south, I was going to see you at that time, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to Beijing to find me, in this case, I just want to ask you, what I told you, but are you ready?" ”

Zhao Deqing nodded again and again, and said: "If we are not ready, where do we dare to come here to ask for an adult, and I hope that the adult can rest assured, now in our Zhao family, all the women of appropriate age, a total of nine, according to the instructions of the adult, all recruited to the clan to take care of them, among which all those who have a marriage contract have withdrawn from the marriage, and those who have sweethearts have all been dismantled, just wait for the adults to choose at home." ”

Seeing that Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, Zhao Deshun on the other side asked in disbelief: "My lord, does the emperor really want to choose a girl from our Zhao family to enter the palace as a nobleman?" ”

Zhao Junchen glanced at Zhao Deshun and said, "Of course so, otherwise why would I let you do these things?" In addition, His Majesty also planned to ask me to recommend some children of the Zhao family to enter the Guozijian, saying that the number of places was unlimited, but although His Majesty said so, I can't be too public, so I only plan to select five or six people from the clan to be promoted to the Guozijian, and you should also pay attention to screening in this regard. ”

Remembering Zhao Junchen's different attitude towards Zhao Xuancheng and Zhao Xuantong just now, Zhao Deqing and Zhao Deshun both nodded.

Suddenly, remembering the news he got not long ago, Zhao Junchen asked, "By the way, do you know Zhao Shancai, a genius in Jiangnan?" Is he related to the clan? ”
