Chapter 302: People are not as good as God
Emperor Jiajing thought he could see people very accurately.
When he entered Beijing, he knew that if he didn't get Yang Tinghe away, he would be a puppet emperor. When he saw Zhang Cong's memorial, he knew that this person could break the deadlock for him.
Similar things happened again and again. Emperor Jiajing thought he had never seen it. In his eyes, Qian Yuan was a young man who had the heart to serve the country, the heart of loyalty to the emperor, the talent of military strategy, the talent of governing the government, and the long-term vision.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing did not believe that under the circumstances of Jian's heart, Qian Yuan would stick to Xu Jie with his marriage. If he wanted to do this, he would have been able to do it long ago.
Therefore, after Qian Yuan said that "there is no such thing", Emperor Jiajing threw this matter away from it and was about to talk about the main business. He originally planned to say it after choosing Shujishi, but happened to call him into the West Garden today.
But the problem is that Qian Yuan said "there is absolutely nothing", and there is still something to do later...
The key is that Qian Yuan was well prepared for this. While he was catching Xiao Hei and playing with the lion cat, he gradually turned the topic to the dishes.
Then he moved from the dishes to the hot pot... Emperor Jiajing had eaten hot pot in Xiyuan many times, all of which were the base soup sent by Qianjia Restaurant, and he had to serve with chili and other seasonings.
He moved from hot pot to Lantern Festival again. Emperor Jiajing made a promise that night.
"Eunuch Huang said that opening a restaurant is about making money. No one can eat for nothing, right?" Qian Yuan spread his hands, "Besides, thirty taxes, one, and the taxes that should be paid have been paid quite a penny."
"You really have a friend?" Huang Jin smacked his lips, "Daxing County is willing to accept it?"
"They paid voluntarily, but they didn't dare to take it. What's the matter?" Qian Yuan was about to talk about the serious business, "What I promised in front of His Majesty that day must be done by saying things, Your Majesty, right?"
The implication is that you promised to be a matchmaker for me that day, and you can’t regret it if you have a red mouth and a white teeth!
But before Qian Yuan could speak, Emperor Jiajing sighed and turned the topic away, "On the fifth day of the first lunar month this year, I should have summoned Yu and Jing entered the West Garden... But that day, the Taoist heart was unstable and gave up."
Huang Jin and Lu Bing both closed their breaths, while Qian Yuan was a little confused and could only feel something.
Emperor Jiajing sighed again, "You can go to Prince Yu's Mansion for me to see it."
What does it mean that human calculations are worse than God’s calculations?
That's it!
It is a good thing to fall a pie from the sky, but first of all, you have to make sure that this pie is not hitting your head... A thirty-story high place can kill people.
Qian Yuan's mouth was full of bitterness, and he was a little reluctant to let him go if he wanted to push it out... Uh, the problem is that the pie fell on his head, and he might not be able to hide even if he wanted to.
"Your Majesty, are students suitable?"
"Don't think so much at such a young age." Emperor Jiajing cursed with a smile: "This year, I'm twenty years old, and it's still too early to do something."
"My son... is good at studying, but he has less experience. He is surrounded by lecturers from the Hanlin Academy, and most of them are nerds. Zhan Cai, you have extensive knowledge, so let's talk more."
"Liu'er, Liu'er, come on." Emperor Jiajing waved his hand. The lion cat looked back and looked lazily and didn't get up. Instead, Xiao Hei walked over hesitantly. He jumped onto the couch, and Huang Jin and Lu Bing were all leaping their eyes.
"I'm not too brave." Emperor Jiajing rubbed Xiao Hei, and the guy was lying down like that. "Zhancai, are you... huh?"
Emperor Jiajing finally discovered Qian Yuan's strange expression, his face became gloomy, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What? I don't want to go?"
"Students dare not." Qian Yuan stood up and knelt on the ground with a sad face, "Today, the student had something to ask His Majesty..."
"explain."
"On the Lantern Festival, His Majesty arrived at the restaurant... He once said... He once said he was willing to be a matchmaker for his students..." Qian Yuan trembled and used his acting skills.
"I remember this." Emperor Jiajing responded casually, and then his face changed.
Previously, Emperor Jiajing asked Qian Yuan to go to Prince Yu's Mansion, which was a very obvious hint... This is almost an obvious hint. In the future, you can enter and exit Prince Yu's Mansion at will, and a golden road will be placed in front of you.
But Qian Yuan had a strange expression and mentioned giving marriage as a matchmaker, so the woman naturally had some connections.
Emperor Jiajing stroked Xiao Hei with a smile, "You have only one granddaughter, or did I personally agree to the Confucius family in Shandong, so Zhan wants to make a fuss?"
"Students dare not."
"Li Shiyan... don't have a granddaughter?" Emperor Jiajing glanced at Lu Bing. Li Mo was the teacher of Lu Bing's martial arts examination.
After a pause, Emperor Jiajing snorted, "Li Shiyan hated you to the core. Even if you have ten granddaughters... it's not your turn."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Who is that?" Emperor Jiajing really had no object of suspicion. Except for Lu Bing, Xu Jie, Li Mo, and Yan Song, he didn't care about the other people's hands reaching into Prince Yu's mansion.
Qian Yuan swallowed and looked up slightly, "It's Xu Huating..."
Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened and sat up from the couch, scaring Xiao Hei sobbed and jumped down, "Nothing happened?!"
With a shout, a piece of paperweight was thrown over by Emperor Jiajing and smashed on Qian Yuan's shoulder. Emperor Jiajing was still not satisfied, so he walked over a few steps and kicked him, "Let's lie in front of me, you are so brave, Lu Bing!"
"I'm here."
"What crime?"
"Deprive fame, go to prison, exile or abandon the market."
Qian Yuan, who was kicked, looked at Emperor Jiajing with grievance, "Your Majesty..."
"What else can I say? I'm really looking for death!" Huang Jin said carefully: "Your Majesty, why don't you hear what this guy has to say?"
"How much money did you collect from him?"
"Old slave..." Huang Jin immediately stopped saying a word.
"Meow Meow." Although Emperor Jiajing was furious, the Linqing lion cat was calm and slowly walked to Qian Yuan again, and found a place between his legs to lie down.
"Give you a chance to speak." Emperor Jiajing had a blue face, "Say!"
Qian Yuan knelt honestly and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the student is just a little juren. Since he met the saint half a year ago, he has gained much trust from His Majesty. There are even rumors outside that the students are lucky to join... How can the students be willing to deceive Your Majesty!"
"Everyone in Songjiang Province knows that the two families of Qian and Xu are in conflict. My uncle and Xu Huating had old grudges many years ago. Three years ago, when his uncle got back, Huating tampered with him and was transferred from the Censorate of the Censorate to the magistrate of Huizhou Prefecture. The student's father and brother passed away, and his uncle was the only elder. How dare the student not be filial to the Xu Mansion?"
"Your Majesty's trust is to let students go to and from the Prince Yu's Mansion. How many Hanlins with hard-working experience are eager to see you? How can students not know Your Majesty's trust?"
Qian Yuan had already prepared words like the surging Yangtze River. Although Emperor Jiajing was still angry, his face was much better. Huang Jin, who was beside him, quickly brewed a cup of tea.
Lu Bing is playing the supporting role next to him, "But the previous sentence... is absolutely nothing?"
"It's indeed Xu's mansion, but it's indeed not the daughter of Huating." Qian Yuan's mouth tilted, "Yes... it's... the eldest son of Huating, Xu Fan's eldest daughter..."
The hall became quiet for a moment, and only Xiao Hei's meow could be heard, and it hit the lion cat again.
After a moment, Huang Jin's snorted laughter like a pig broke the silence, and Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. This was the old hen turning into a duck... from an aunt to a niece, from a daughter to a granddaughter...
Emperor Jiajing looked at Lu Bing speechlessly. The news was a bit outrageous. The latter was also anxious. "No, it was obviously a young girl from Huating. She had seen her from Tanzhe Temple. How could she be..."
"Commander Lu, do you think I am willing to...respecte as my father-in-law a person who once knocked me out with a stick and was beaten to tears by me?"
Lu Bing has nothing to say now. Qian Yuan and Xu Fan have had a fight more than once or twice. Even if they want to cling to the Xu family, they will not be so humble.
Huang Jin looked at Emperor Jiajing's face and went to make a cup of tea to bring it over, "Zhancai, just talk about it, just treat it as a storyteller."
"Get up." Emperor Jiajing hummed unhappily, "Your fame depends on what you said in this passage of your book today!"
Qian Yuan rubbed his knees, stood up and sat down tremblingly, sighing, "In my uncle's words, I'm not going to marry, but to make enemies."
