The middle-aged man known as Mr. Chen first invited Zhu Youzhen to sit on the main seat before standing in the middle of the study and starting to lecture.

It can be seen that he is very familiar with the content he is going to speak, and he recited a mouthful of ancient proverbs with an accent from the southern Suzhou and Hangzhou regions before explaining the content in the vernacular.

This Mr. Chen's eloquence is very good, and the story is also very wonderful. However, the chapter he talked about, "Filial Piety, Filial Piety, and Filial Piety Emperor Sixth", is a bit strange.

This Mr. Chen almost didn't directly say that Wei Zhongxian was the general of today's Bahu, and he Zhu Youzhen was the second emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Zhongji made a generous statement in his mouth, and at the same time, he secretly watched the expression on the face of the Prince of Xin with the corner of his eye.

Chen Zhongji, formerly known as Cao Yongchang, is a native of Yuxichang, Nantong Prefecture, and is now 40 years old. He is also better known as Liu Jingting, an up-and-coming storyteller in Yangzhou and Hangzhou.

When he was 15 years old, he broke the law and was exonerated by Yin Li Sancai, the Taizhou Governor, so he changed his surname and changed his name to tell stories abroad.

He has been favored by Li Sancai, a member of the Donglin Party, and has always admired the Donglin Party. In the third year of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian began to speak out in the court. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian began to vigorously attack the Donglin party.

The scholars of Yingshe who were in the south at the time were inexplicably sad and indignant about this, but under Wei Zhongxian's obscenity, the sons of Yingshe were also in a situation where they could not protect themselves, and they were at a loss for the situation of the eunuch party's dominance.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the Suzhou Zhou Shunchang case broke out, and Zhang Pu, the leader of the Ying Society, made the "Tombstone of Five People", and the Jiangnan scholars thought that this was the result of evil not defeating good, and the people of the world hated the eunuch party and liked the Donglin party.

But what the world doesn't know is that this is a masterpiece proposed by Zhang Pu and planned by Wu Changshi, a rising star of the society, and Liu Jingting instigated the citizens of Suzhou with eloquence.

After the riot of Suzhou citizens, Tiqi did not dare to go abroad, and the gentry of the world were angry, and the prestige of the society was greatly boosted.

At that time, Zhang Pu once again proposed, "Today, I have been deeply deceived by Wei Eunuch, if there is no person around Your Majesty to personally expose the eunuch party's treacherous scheme, I am afraid that the world will be bad in the hands of Wei Eunuch sooner or later." ”

Under Zhang Pu's stimulus, Wu Changshi immediately put forward a specific plan: "Today, I look forward to waking up and sweeping away the gang rape, I am afraid it will not be a one-day achievement." However, if he kisses Wei Zhongxian again, how can he kiss His Royal Highness King Xin, his younger brother. We should bring people close to His Royal Highness the King of Faith, so that the King of Faith will be far away from the Party. Then the king believes that with the love of brotherhood, he will be able to say that he will be able to move the villain and the sage. ”

Under the planning of several people, it was finally decided to let Liu Jingting go to Beijing under a pseudonym and find an opportunity to get close to His Royal Highness King Xin.

Liu Jingting thought that this was a manifestation of the importance of the people in the Ying Society, but what he didn't know was that at the beginning of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, no one thought that this was the last year of the Apocalypse. And the people in the Ying Society are not willing to attract the jealousy of the Apocalypse because they are close to the king of letters, and they are even more unwilling to implicate the reputation of the Ying Society because someone in the Ying Society will hand over the prince. So, in the end, they found Liu Jingting, who had nothing to do with Donglin and Yingshe.

With Zhang Pu's letter, Liu Jingting went to the capital under the alias Chen Zhongji and posted a post to Wang Shouzhi. Within a few days, Wang Shoulu told him that he had bribed the lieutenant officials of the Xinwang Mansion and would recommend him to become a Qingke who lectured for the Xinwang, and Liu Jingting became Chen Zhongji, the person who failed the Taizhou Entrance to Beijing Meeting.

Although Liu Jingting was not good at scripture, with the help of Wang Shoulu, coupled with his eloquence and infectious expression, he won the trust of King Xin in just a few days.

At this time, the rest of the princes in the palace who were not the crown princes were practicing a pig-raising strategy. If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's love for his younger brother, Zhu Youzhen wouldn't even be able to find a eunuch to teach him to read.

As a member of the inner court, the eunuch who taught Zhu Youzhen to read, of course, knew what the taboo in the palace was. Although he taught Zhu Youzhen to read, he repeatedly talked about the monarch and minister, father and son, brothers, friends and brothers, and this set of moral etiquette and etiquette.

Shengsheng put an innocent person, and once asked: "Can I do this official?" The boy was taught to be a young man who was stubborn in moral conduct. Then not long after moving to his own Xinwang Mansion, he met Liu Jingting, who was scheming and pretending to be a lifter.

Under the influence of these 4 or 5 months, Zhu Youzhen has become a little paranoid. Before Su Changqing arrived, he had already become hated by the eunuchs, and complained a little about his emperor brother, why did he condone a traitor like Wei Zhongxian and harm the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for Su Changqing accidentally replacing him, I'm afraid that after he ascends the throne, he will have to eradicate these eunuchs who plague the Ming Dynasty, and then welcome the righteous men and gentlemen in the Donglin Party back to the dynasty. Establish a court of all the righteous dynasties, and then create a prosperous era beyond the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, to comfort the expectations of his father and brother.

Liu Jingting had already learned from Wang Shoulu that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was running out. So he came here today to tell the story of Emperor Han in this chapter of the Book of Han, first, to warn Zhu Youzhen that Wei Zhongxian is a villain as vicious as General Bahu; The second is to want Zhu Youzhen to be patient and patient, not to be like Emperor Han Qian, who only wants to speak quickly, and startles the snake.

Based on his experience with Prince Shin in the past few months, this is a tacky, stubborn, and easily emotional young man. In the past, when he said this, Prince Xin would definitely jump up and ask him for advice on how to eradicate these eunuchs. And Liu Jingting not only prepared a plan on how to eliminate Wei Zhongxian today, but also wrote a list of cadres in the eunuch party.

But Liu Jingting suddenly found that the list in his arms seemed to be difficult to hand over. Prince Xin, who should have been furious, can still laugh when he listens to the story of Emperor Han Zhen that he has told.

And Prince Xin tapped his fingers lightly on the yellow rosewood tabletop, and kept looking at himself with his eyes. "Shouldn't this be?" Liu Jingting said to himself with some frustration.

"What is wrong there, is it possible that Prince Xin began to suspect me because he listened to the Han book I said today?" Liu Jingting was a little uneasy, and the wonderful stories that had been in his mouth became a little dry.

After Liu Jingting finished finishing this chapter of Hanshu, Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Mr. Chen's article is really good, much better than those gentlemen in the academy. I've only listened to Mr. Chen's articles for a long time, so why don't you tell me about Mr. Chen's hometown of Taizhou today? I haven't been out of the capital since I've grown up, so it's good to be able to hear the scenery of Jiangnan from my husband. ”

Zhu Youzhen's question calmed Liu Jingting's mind, although he was not from Taizhou, he committed crimes in Taizhou when he was a teenager, and he was not a stranger to Taizhou. Speaking of the scenery and characters in Taizhou, Liu Jingting can't help but recall the scene of his youth.

For a while, he felt full of nostalgia, and couldn't help but talk about the scenery he saw when he passed through Yangzhou, "... Yangzhou Qingming, men and women in the city are out, and every family shows their tombs. So the drums painted the boat, the light car and the horse, turned again and again, and went back and forth... The area of the banknote pass, the south gate, the Gudu Bridge, the Tianning Gate, and the Pingshan Hall is 30 miles long, men and women are mixed, fresh clothes and clean clothes, helping the old and the young, and hurrying back and forth. On the way, the young children release kites, the old monks say the law, the beauties sing and blow, and the blind play the piano, and there are all kinds of things. As for the vendors along the way, it can be said that there are all kinds of things, mixed tastes, there is no shortage of flowers, vegetables and fruits, fresh fish and live shrimp, antiques and calligraphy and paintings, incense burners and paper money..."

"Sure enough, it is worthy of 'Huaizuo Famous Capital, Zhuxi Good Place', I will definitely go to see this Yangzhou Fengyue in the future, but unfortunately there is no wine here, otherwise I will have to give Mr. a glass." Zhu Youzhen said with a yearning face.

Zhu Youzhen's admiration made Liu Jingting suddenly sober up from his memories, he didn't come to tempt Zhu Youzhen to go down to Jiangnan, Liu Jingting thought in shock.

"Your Highness, no." Liu Jingting blurted out.

"Why not?" Zhu Youzhen said.

"Ancestral Xun, the clan can't go out of the border city, Your Highness." Liu Jingting said in a hurry.

Zhu Youzhen was noncommittal to Liu Jingting's dissuasion, but he did not talk about his idea of going to Jiangnan.

Zhu Youzhen then inquired about the prices of grain, cotton cloth, tea, porcelain, and houses in Jiangnan.

Since entering the house, it was the first time that Liu Jingting heard Zhu Youzhen not ask about his scriptures, but about some things in the market. Although he told the truth one by one, he still added a sentence at the end, "Why does Your Highness need to learn from these little things, today's Ming Dynasty is the time when Your Highness needs to support the right path." ”

Zhu Youzhen just glanced at Liu Jingting strangely, and then deliberately asked, "What is the right way?" ”

Zhu Youzhen's question made Liu Jingting happy, and he immediately replied excitedly: "Naturally, it is to sweep away the traitorous party and return the world to a prosperous world." ”

Zhu Youzhen was unmoved, and continued to ask: "What is a traitorous party?" ”

Liu Jingting's face turned pale, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "It is Wei Zhongxian's party that is entrenched in the imperial court today and blinds His Majesty. ”

Although Liu Jingting's face looked ruined, putting life and death out of the way. But Zhu Youzhen's face remained unchanged, and he still said unhurriedly: "Why is Wei Zhongxian's party a traitor?" ”

"Because they framed Zhongliang, such as Yang Wenru, Zuo Zhizhi, Huang Bai'an, Zhou Jingwen and other princes are all virtuous." Liu Jingting said fearlessly

Zhu Youzhen, who felt a little dazed when he heard these names, was a little puzzled, "I still know a few names of Donglin Party members, so I haven't heard any of the names this person said?" ”

Zhu Youzhen, who didn't know why for a long time, couldn't help asking: "What have they done to be called virtuous?" ”

Although Liu Jingting was a little surprised that Zhu Youzhen would ask this question, he still honestly recounted the deeds of these people that he had told Zhu Youzhen in the past few months.

After listening to Liu Jingting's words, Zhu Youzhen shook his head noncommittally and retorted: "Yang Wenru and Huang Bai'an can be regarded as of good moral character. Left left straight in the place to build water conservancy, on \
