That happened to his family last night, even the Wu family was worried about Zhu Ying's safety, but Zhang Shou was not worried...... That's weird! Even if Zhu Ying has practiced martial arts since she was a child, her art is extraordinary, and she has two hundred soldiers and horses, she is not afraid of 10,000 in case. However, if Zhu Ying really has something, will the emperor still have the leisure to call him and ask him to bring someone to pick up Zhu Ying?

This is not an ulterior motive...... He changed his surname to the emperor!

Therefore, when he heard Hua Qi say that Zhu Ying was outside, he saw that the emperor's face immediately turned black, although he wanted to laugh, he still tried his best to hold back. However, when he saw Zhu Ying coming straight in, he couldn't help laughing.

And Zhu Ying only learned from others that the emperor was in Ciqing Palace, and she only expected to see the emperor and the third prince, and she didn't care too much when she saw Chu Kuan and Hua Qi, after all, the responsibilities of the two of them were there. But when she saw Zhang Shou, she was genuinely surprised and delighted. Almost without saluting, she came straight to Zhang Shou like a gust of wind, and asked eagerly, "Ah Shou, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, I slept until dawn." Zhang Shou winked at the eldest lady with a smile, and then said calmly, "It's that the emperor is worried about your safety, and just now asked me and Ah Liu to bring someone to pick you up!" What, what happened to you last night? ”

"What are you doing with me, you're here to make trouble!" Zhu Ying didn't answer Zhang Shou's last question, and glanced at the emperor with an unkind expression, "If the emperor is really worried about me so much, it is only right to send more soldiers and horses to pick me up, what is Ah Shou going to do?" His appearance is particularly eye-catching, if you encounter a thief outside, will you compensate me, Your Majesty? ”

The emperor only felt that he was really wrong today, and he was almost choked to death again and again - first Chu Kuan, then Zhang Shou, and then Zhu Ying! He snorted coldly and said with a straight face, "Didn't I let you stay there for the night?" How did you come back so quickly? ”

"I also want to stay for a good night, but even if I don't have a problem with choosing a bed, I can't stand it and make trouble all night! If it weren't for Aunt Yuquan to help me, I would have been so angry that I would have killed the big prince's guy who attracted bees and butterflies! ”

Describing a big man but using the word bee to attract butterflies as an analogy, Zhang Shou couldn't help but sweat profusely, and the emperor couldn't help but feel that the green tendons in his temples were jumping suddenly, but in the end, he still asked in a deep voice first: "Okay, Yingying, don't talk nonsense, what's going on?" Could it be that someone tried to save that evil animal last night? ”

"Yes, the banner of people is to establish the head of the army and the side of the king." Zhu Ying said angrily, "As a result, after the guy in charge was cut by me, the rest of the people immediately wilted." Where did I think I came from, I was actually an old village scholar with a group of villagers who had been educated and stupid by him, carrying a sickle and a hoe, and just went to Huangzhuang to get angry, do you believe it, the emperor? ”

Hearing Zhu Ying's statement, five words suddenly popped up in Zhang Shou's heart - the imperial power does not go to the countryside!

And not only him, but even Hua Qi, who had been silent just now, couldn't help but interject and said: "Fools and fools in the countryside, their knowledge is limited, if the local gentry and even the pedants in the township and ethnology are biased towards what they say, then the demagogy is naturally not trivial...... That being said, when the eldest lady came back this time, she shouldn't have brought the eldest prince with her, right? ”

"Of course I didn't! I'm still afraid that a large number of villagers and elders will appear on the road, stopping us from seeing the eldest prince, and then crying and crying and making a scene, how should it end at that time? I took five people, dressed in black and hooded, and greeted the Liaodong military along the road, whistling past, and only took off the black dog skin when I entered the capital. ”

Zhu Ying looked at the emperor as she spoke, and said with an angry face: "I originally went to seek justice for my eldest brother, but who knew that it would cause such a big trouble!" Aunt Yuquan is now in charge of the Huangzhuang, I don't have a few days left in this wedding period, I don't have the ability to clean up this kind of mess in two or three days, the emperor, hurry up and invite another master, anyway, I won't go! ”

One or two are unreliable, the emperor is already angry, and of course what is even more angry is that someone instigated the people with the intention of supporting the great prince...... Just when he couldn't help but want to make a big fuss, he suddenly heard Zhang Shou's voice.

"Your Majesty, if you just take back the eldest prince, Yingying is naturally competent, but since as Yingying said, someone incited the people to make trouble last night, then I am afraid that the non-important ministers are not enough to appease. The minister felt that it would be safer to select a respected cabinet elder from the cabinet to go in person, appease the people, and then bring the prince back openly. ”

When the emperor saw Zhang Shou's expression of definitely not a personal vendetta in the communiqué, he couldn't help but be angry: "Don't you know that Confucius University was personally blocked by your future eldest brother, and he didn't come to participate in this morning?" The verdict of the hospital has passed in person, and the results have not come back yet! I think he can't afford to get sick like this! ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying let out a startle almost at the same time, and then couldn't help but look at each other.

And the emperor believed that Zhu Ying, who had just returned to Beijing, did not know, but he did not believe that Zhang Shou, who should have met Zhu Tingfang before the early dynasty today, did not know. But Zhang Shou's face was full of innocence, he could only stretch his face and say, "You still want to pretend to be garlic with me?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know." Zhang Shou was really helpless at this time. It was true that he met the eldest brother, but the eldest brother only said that he would go to Confucius Mansion to ask for the guilt, but did not say that he made Confucius University so angry that he fell ill at home! Seeing Zhu Ying looking at him curiously, he relayed what Zhu Tingfang said in public at that time, and at this moment, the emperor was angry.

"You guys are really not a family, you don't enter a family, and you act exactly the same! I really don't know which life I owe you, so I'm going to clean up the mess for you juniors! ”

Seeing that the emperor was very annoyed and rubbing his chin there to ponder countermeasures, Zhang Shou quietly asked Zhu Ying: "Yingying, this person looks quite thin by Confucius University, do you know whether he usually admires light diet, or likes to eat desserts, or is he not happy without meat, and likes greasy diets such as poultry?" ”

Although his voice is not loud, how keen is the emperor who has practiced martial arts since he was a child?

Without waiting for Zhu Ying to answer, the Son of Heaven immediately asked angrily, "Why are you asking this?" The Confucian family is a famous scholarly family, and it is said that the first Jinshi who was offered seventy or eighty years ago liked to say that meat eaters were despised. has been an official for so many years, and there are a lot of stinky rules. This kind of people, the diet is exquisite, and they can't wait to pull out a thousand allusions when they eat a dish. ”

That is to say, pay attention to the presentation and artistic conception, cherish the blessings and nourish the body, and will not overeat? As an elder, it is estimated that for the sake of image, even if you like to eat sweets, you will be relatively restrained? ”

Seeing that the emperor looked at him more and more puzzled, Zhang Shou smiled and said, "In this way, the Kong family should generally live a long life, right?" ”

This time, the emperor suddenly nodded with a smile. And Zhang Shou immediately laughed - as long as there are no cardiovascular and cerebrovascular genetic diseases, coupled with a light and small diet, and because of his high position, he has relatively good medical resources in these years...... Then even if the Confucius scholar was angry with Zhu Tingfang, most of the time it would be fine.

Don't use the lifespan of a creature like the emperor to measure the lifespan of many ministers in these years. You must know that high-ranking officials such as the prime minister and the cabinet elder, as long as they do not die by mistake, generally have a much longer life than the emperor.

Thinking that the people who could survive until the elder pavilion were at least fifty years old, and many of them were in their seventies when they retired, he said casually: "Although the eldest prince of Zhu should have made a big fuss in the Confucian family, but with all due respect, the emperor sent someone to visit the Confucian family at this time. ”

"Master Zhu accused that Dr. Kong of the crime, which is genuine. And he said that there were servants of the Kong family who abandoned their master and fled, which should also be true. That being the case, Confucius University should be in a very embarrassing situation now, if Zhu Dagongzi really writes to impeach, he may have to beg for bones. Therefore, when the emperor sent him to pick up the eldest prince, he should be happy to show his heart. ”

The emperor was slightly stunned, remembering that although the Confucian scholar was a person who was single-handedly raised, he was also known as the backbone of the new school at the beginning, and strongly advocated that people from overseas states come to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute and even study, and also supported the official ships to sail to various countries to a limited extent, understand the intelligence of the states in the world, and further improve the ball instrument made by Emperor Taizu Mengtian, however, after Jiang Ge Lao stepped down, people seemed relatively conservative.

And he did not officially determine the first assistant of the cabinet, not only because Confucius scholars were also hiding behind their backs to commit crimes against Zhu Jing and his son, but also because he was concerned about the political attitude of Confucius scholars. Sure enough, before he became the first assistant of the cabinet, he had already deviated from the initial position, and even the bachelor Zhang Yu, who he had promoted, was also excluded.

As for the insect-like Wu Ge Lao, not to mention, the Confucian scholar showed disgust and disdain without hesitation.

I think that the Confucius scholar felt that if the three members of the cabinet were all imperialists, then his existence would be meaningless. Of course, officialdom and Shilin are estimated to attack them as well...... Didn't you look at most of the officials in the DPRK and China, who were quite supportive of Confucius scholars?

Therefore, although he is now more and more Confucian scholars, the emperor knows that he can promote people into the cabinet more and more, but if his ability is not strong enough and his skin is not thick enough, it is estimated that he will not survive for long.

After all, a person like Wu Gelao, who is smiling but extremely capable of carrying impeachment, is rare in the DPRK. When Zhang Yu first entered the cabinet, he also complained in private, saying that whether it was the division of votes, or the final vote, and even in the face of the dissatisfaction and even attack of the six Metropolitan Procuratorates, he had a feeling of difficulty.

So, after carefully thinking about it for a while, the emperor finally said to Chu Kuan: "Okay, you go to the Kong family in the name of the crown prince, visit the Confucian scholars, and if the person is in good condition, say that I intend to let him go to the Huangzhuang to pick up Dalang." ”

"Your Majesty, the Confucius scholar once said in public at the banquet last time that it is best to use illiterate chamberlains in Ciqing Palace. So ......"

Although Chu Kuan didn't finish speaking, everyone present woke up - if Chu Kuan went, even if Confucius University was not sick, he would pretend to be sick and resign, even if he turned around and made the fake come true, because Chu Kuan's visit was really a slap in the face!

Seeing that the emperor was suddenly stuck, Zhang Shou saw that the emperor seemed to want the people of the three princes to show grace, and his heart couldn't help but move. But when the words came to his lips, he saw that the third prince wanted to speak and stopped, so he immediately asked with a smile: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have any better ideas?" ”

Although Zhu Ying didn't quite understand why Zhang Shou wanted to protect the Confucian scholar, it was obvious that the emperor listened to this suggestion and liked it very much, so she didn't object, she just heard the emperor call Chu Kuan to go, she knew that it was inappropriate but she didn't speak, seeing that Chu Kuan himself exposed this, she even had some regrets. If it was really Chu Kuan who ran away, Confucius University was angry and resigned, how happy would this be?

Therefore, when she heard Zhang Shou suddenly ask the third prince, she couldn't help but look forward to it again. After all, the third prince was inexperienced in the past, so maybe there would be an idea that the emperor thought was very good, but in fact, it was quite a pit like just now?

Sure enough, the next moment, she only heard the third prince hesitate to say: "Father, as the crown prince, Erchen naturally can't go out of the palace casually, but Erchen thinks that the fourth brother can go to visit Confucius University and then ......"

Before the third prince finished speaking, Zhu Ying immediately praised: "Good idea!" "The bear child of the fourth prince is impulsive and irritable, and he has never had a good impression of Confucius University, so maybe he can make him popular!

Zhang Shou suddenly stopped with a smile and said, "Yingying, don't make trouble!" Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, think about it carefully, let the Fourth Prince go and talk to the Confucian Scholar, ask him to go to the Imperial Village to pick up the Great Prince, and then appease the chaotic people who have been bewitched by others? Is this appropriate? ”

At this moment, the third prince was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was actually concerned about it. It's okay for the four princes to visit, but it is absolutely inappropriate to convey such a thing. And understanding this, he thought about it and said: "Erchen knows that his father wants Erchen to establish a reputation for filial piety, but Erchen has figured it out now, this is not appropriate. Erchen felt ......"

Erchen felt that it was more appropriate to send someone to visit the Confucian scholar in the name of his father, and convey the will to send him to pick up the eldest brother. As for the candidates, Erchen thinks, is it possible to send Qin Guogong? Qin Guogong has always had a good reputation among civil officials, and he is now in charge of straightening out the Heavenly Mansion, and there can also be an explanation for the fact that the servants of the Confucian Mansion abandoned their masters and fled and took away their property. ”

Seeing that the third prince finally gave a very reasonable suggestion, Zhang Shou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this person was the right candidate. But Zhu Ying on the side muttered dissatisfiedly: "In that case, isn't my father also quite suitable?" "My father is not going to visit, but to provoke and demonstrate! It's strange that Confucius University is not angry and resigns!

Zhang Shou saw that the emperor had an expression that I didn't hear what Zhu Ying said, and only nodded in agreement with the relief of the third prince, he couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, and then whispered: "Yingying, don't you think that the best way to take revenge is to let people stay under your nose and poke him from time to time to make him feel painful?" If the Confucius scholar resigns, it will really be ......."

He paused for a moment, and said meaningfully: "That is, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly, with his reputation, which academy will treat him as a guest when he goes back, and when the time comes, the peach and plum will be all over the world, and a large number of students will be taught to fill the court, don't you think this is more appropriate?" ”

Zhu Ying's brows furrowed. She immediately nodded heavily and said, "You're right, if he runs away, we will not only have to guard against the hidden arrow in the future, but also prevent him from making a comeback." The gentleman takes revenge, from morning till night, and can't let him run! ”
