The old man shook his head, took out a few pamphlets from his sleeve, and handed them to Hongji. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yo, what is this? Hongzhi took the pamphlet with some doubts, looked down at it, "Exam-taking Skills for the Imperial Examination", and then looked at the second volume, hey, it was still "Exam-taking Skills for the Imperial Examination", and then looked, still, still, a total of five volumes.

Hongji looked up at the old man.

"These are all made by Ming Zhongxin!" The old man said in a deep voice.

"What?" Hongji frowned, looked at the booklet in his hand, and was in a daze.

"Of course, the version that is now passed down by Jingshi, or printed by Liu's Bookstore, is made by Lu Mingyuan." The old man continued to put the message.

"What? Mr. Lu Mingyuan? Hongji was not calm, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man excitedly.

"Not bad, Lu Mingyuan!" The old man nodded in acknowledgement.

"He's back?" Hongji stood up and looked at the old man with surprise.

"Not really!" The old man shook his head.

"Oh!" Hongji sat down on the dragon chair with a lost face, his eyes staring ahead without focus, and he didn't say anything for a long time. It's as if I'm thinking about something.

The old man didn't speak, just looked at Hongji quietly.

"Alas!" Hongzhi sighed, looked at the old man and said, "What is the relationship between Ming Zhongxin and Mr. Lu?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, on the surface, Naming Zhongxin just hired Lu Mingyuan to tell stories in Mingxuan Pavilion, Ling County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province."

When Hongzhi heard this, his brows tightened, and he said with a gloomy face, "Mr. Lu only lives by telling stories now?" ”

"That's not it, according to the report of the spies, originally, Mr. Lu lived a reclusive life outside Lingxian County, but because the Ming family had some needs to establish Mingxuan Pavilion, Li Fu recommended it to Ming Zhongxin, and then, he was moved by Ming Zhongxin with some scripts, so he stayed in Mingxuan Pavilion. Perhaps it was Li Fu who played an extremely important role in this. The old man guessed.

"Yes, according to Mr. Lu's nature, if he wasn't a like-minded person, he would never hand it over. I won't help others for some silver taels and words, even if it's Li Fu. It can also be seen from this that this Ming Zhongxin is really a character. Hongji speculated.

"Your Majesty is wise! A few days ago, someone came out with the news that it was Ming Zhongxin who wrote "The Examination Skills of the Imperial Examination", originally, the major families of the Beijing Division were ready to take action against the Ming and Zhong Dynasty, but then Liu's bookstore immediately responded, saying that those "Examination Skills of the Imperial Examination" were all written by Mr. Lu, and there was also Mr. Lu's own preface as evidence, so they died down and waited to see what happened. ”

"From that preface, it can be seen that Mr. Lu is definitely protecting Ming Zhongxin, which also indirectly proves that Mr. Lu and Ming Zhongxin are definitely not just an ordinary employment relationship, otherwise, according to Mr. Lu's character, he will never take this matter on his shoulders."

"Hmm!" Hongji's eyes shrank and he nodded slightly.

"Moreover, a few days ago, Commander Mu also personally went to Mingxuan Pavilion to visit Ming Zhongxin, and stayed for dinner, the minister thought that Commander Mu would never go to Mingxuan Pavilion for no reason, but I was afraid that he also got the letter, felt that Mr. Lu was related to this Ming Zhongxin, and then went to inquire about Mr. Lu's news, the minister guessed that Commander Mu must have obtained accurate information and confirmed the relationship between Ming Zhongxin and Mr. Lu. The most bizarre thing is that the usually upright Commander Mu actually took the grievances between Ming Zhongxin and Guo Xun, the little lord of Wuding Houfu, on his body, which is very abnormal. ”

"In this way, Mu Bin has already confirmed, you can confirm with him later, and figure out what is the relationship between this Ming Zhongxin and Mr. Lu?" Hongji commanded.

"Yes!" The old man bowed down.

"Tell me, what's going on with these pamphlets?" Hongji asked, flipped through the pamphlet in his hand.

"These pamphlets were brought back by the ministers when they asked their subordinates to quickly whip up the news of Ming Zhongxin from Lingxian County, and they were more detailed and varied than those passed down by the Jingshi, and they were the skills of Ming Zhongxin to be secretly transmitted in Lingxian County."

"Really?" Hongji looked surprised, lowered his head and carefully flipped through the booklet.

As the time to flip through the pamphlet passed minute by minute, Hongji's face gradually showed joy, and then he became puzzled, and looked up and asked.

"I remember, Ming Zhongxin is only fifteen years old?"

"Yes!"

"Then you say, he really did this?"

"The minister didn't dare to believe it, but his subordinates verified in many ways that these were indeed from Ming Zhongxin's hand, but" The old man smiled bitterly, and said with some hesitation.

"But what?" As soon as Hongji saw it, he knew that the old man must also have some doubts.

"However, it seems that this Ming Zhongxin said that there is another master!"

"Master?"

"Yes, he told a limited number of people, and Liuzhi County also knew about it, and all of this was learned from Liuzhi County."

"Then who is his master? You say, could it be Mr. Lu? Hongji looked interested.

"Mr. Lu can rule it out, because, before Mr. Lu arrived in the Ming Mansion, many measures had already been implemented. Moreover, according to Mr. Lu's temperament, if Ming Zhongxin was really his disciple, they would definitely not let the Ming Mansion fall into such an embarrassment. ”

"Hmmm! So who is this master? ”

"It is said that his master has gone away!"

"Really? Didn't you go and investigate? ”

"I didn't dare to hide it from Your Majesty, and my subordinates also tried their best to inquire about many people, but the strange thing is that no one has seen Ming Zhongxin's master. The master is only one side of Ming Zhongxin's words. Moreover, whether there is such a person or not, the ministers are also very skeptical. ”

"That's it, even if you can't find it, it's not a big deal! Moreover, if there is a master behind him, it makes sense, otherwise, this Ming Zhongxin is only fifteen years old, no matter how demonic and rebellious he is, it is impossible to learn so many things thoroughly. Hongji waved his hand.

The old man nodded slightly, not daring to refute.

"Could it be that those big families secretly don't have any means to deal with the messengers in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of Mr. Lu and Lord Liu! So far, nothing has happened! ”

"That's right, before they confirm whether Mr. Lu has returned to Beijing, they will definitely not dare to act rashly, after all, back then, Mr. Lu's strategy was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one knew whether this Ming Zhongxin was his front station and sent out to test people." As soon as Hongzhi mentioned Lu Mingyuan, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"This is very likely, after all, Commander Mu's attitude has changed too strangely, and only Mr. Lu can make him advance and retreat like this. But why did Mr. Lu push Ming Zhongxin out? He must have known that if Ming Zhongxin was really confirmed to be the real maker of those skills, those big families would not let him go easily. The old man said worriedly.

"I hope that those big families will make a move, and it is best to provoke Mr. Lu out, and then we will be able to watch a good show!" Hongji's eyes were full of smiles, and a hint of longing flashed in his eyes.

The old man smiled secretly in his heart, our majesty, I'm afraid I just want to see Mr. Lu again! Thinking of Lu Mingyuan's demeanor back then, the old man was also fascinated.

"Although I hope that they will take action against Ming Zhongxin, but remember, no matter what, this Ming Zhongxin must be protected and not allowed to be harmed!" Hongji's face suddenly changed and he commanded.

"Yes, the minister understands!" The old man nodded.

"I also hope to use this Ming Zhongxin to let those guys jump out, so that they can give them some color to see, these years, let them control too much! It's time to move! Hongji sighed softly.

The old man looked at Hongzhi, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, our majesty is really worried about this Daming! Even the most unlikely of chess pieces want to be put to good use.

"Don't underestimate this Ming CITIC, he is in the center of the whirlpool, there is Mr. Lu behind him, plus there is Mu Bin to help him, not to mention that there are Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang who are secretly maintaining, if someone moves Ming CITIC, I am afraid that these few people will jump out, and then it will be a scuffle, can't we also fish in troubled waters, knock and knock on those big families, and promote some policies. In this case, do you say that it is a whole body? Hongji's face straightened.

"Your Majesty is wise! The minister didn't think it through so much! The old man bowed to Hongji, stood up, his lips moved, and he stopped talking.

"Say, what other doubts do you have?" Hongji's eyes were sharp, and when he saw his expression, he frowned, this old boy, what kind of little Jiujiu does he have in his heart?

"The minister has some doubts, if we use this Ming Zhongxin as a chess piece, if Mr. Lu knows about it, will we have a bad heart?"

"That's it! I've thought about it too, but I believe that if Mr. Lu knew about the current situation, he would definitely understand me! Moreover, don't you think, since Mr. Lu let this Ming Zhongxin come to Jingshi, will he have a later arrangement, how can he not let it go like this! ”

The old man's eyes lit up and he thought so.

"Moreover, did Mr. Lu specially ask Ming Zhongxin to come here as a pawn to solve my worries?"

The old man smiled bitterly in his heart, Your Majesty, you are a true god, you can think of it! Mr. Lu retired after a successful career, and said that he would not intervene in the future no matter how the situation changes in the future! With Mr. Lu's character, since he said so, he will definitely do what he promises!

As for this Ming Zhongxin coming to Beijing, he definitely wants to ask for the study and development of the Ming family, these are the first-hand information that the spies have found.

But Hongzhi has now fallen into the excitement of knowing Lu Mingyuan's information, and he will definitely not listen to his calm words.

He wouldn't remind Hongji so dishearteningly, and he could only satisfy Hongji's fantasy by promise.

"Okay, what else is there in this Ming Zhongxin? Let's discuss it again, and maybe, we can find the clues of Mr. Lu's plan. Hongji said excitedly to the old man.

Let's talk about this Ming Zhongxin!

"Do you remember? Shandong mentioned that Lu Zishan wrote a few days ago, and what did he say about education? The old man reminded.

"What? Questions? Hongzhi was shocked, could it be that the matter of education was fake? I remember that I was above the court and ordered Liu Jian to carefully investigate and verify!

"That's not it, but those books of enlightenment, all of which are from the hands of Ming Zhongxin!"

"What?" Hongzhi was shocked in his heart, how could this have something to do with Ming Zhongxin again.

The old man smiled bitterly, "I don't know why this Ming Zhongxin is so wicked?" But it's true! The minister's subordinates have also verified it, and it is indeed a fact! ”

Hongzhi was stunned on the spot, and the things that the old man said just now flashed in his mind, but everything is not a trivial matter, and everything is closely related to the affairs of the court, this Ming Zhongxin should not be so demonic! Everything is related to him, how can the people above the court live!

If you think about it carefully, what Ming Zhongxin has done actually involves various industries such as taxi, agriculture, industry, and commerce, and the achievements it has done are all things that cannot be ignored. It is said that Daming has such a talent, and Hongzhi should be happy, but he just can't be happy.

Before, Mr. Lu was demonic enough, and this Ming Zhongxin was even more demonic than Mr. Lu. has made so many achievements at a young age, and if it continues like this, will it be worth it?

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Hongji's eyes, and a thought flashed in his mind, the unstable factor must be strangled in the cradle!

The old man faintly understood Hongzhi's thoughts, and was shocked in his heart, could it be that this Ming Zhongxin's performance had already offended His Majesty's backlash?

You must know that the previous dynasty, including the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, how many meritorious civil and military generals have ended up dismal, although now this Hongzhi Emperor is generous and benevolent, but no one dares to guarantee that Emperor Hongzhi has no murderous intentions, after all, it is not said that the king is like a tiger!

Have you done too much today? But you must not want to let him be in the emperor's heart, but you don't want to make Your Majesty jealous, that would not be good! I'm sorry for the person I trusted!

"Your Majesty, that Ming Zhongxin is just a fifteen-year-old little doll! It's only a few years older than the little prince! The old man reminded.

"Ah, yes!" Hongji's eyes lit up, this Ming Zhongxin is young now, and it is estimated that he will not be able to do anything threatening. What's more, he can also suppress it and slow down his progress!

The killing intent in Hongji's eyes disappeared, and he glanced deeply at the old man.

The old man broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

Just now, I took a great risk to remind you, if you fold yourself into it because of this Ming Zhongxin, it will be too worthless! I can't help but regret it in my heart! We don't have much friendship with that Ming Zhongxin, isn't it too much of such a heart!

However, there is no regret medicine in the world, the old man's heart is crossed, and the idea of a single person is suddenly born, the matter has come to this, Your Majesty wants to fight and kill, listen to it!

"At the right time, you can let this Ming Zhongxin and the prince get acquainted with each other!" Hongji commanded indifferently.

A trace of excitement flashed in the old man's eyes, it seems that his reminder has had an effect! Moreover, let Ming Zhongxin have a deep friendship with the prince, I am afraid that he also has the heart to pave the way for the prince! Now, you kid, it's a blessing in disguise!

The old man was deeply envious of Ming Zhongxin's luck. There are Li Gelao, Lord Liu, Mu Bin, Shou Ninghou, Jian Changbo and other people who help each other, and now he is also unintentionally helping him, this kid is really lucky!
