Chapter 33 Don’t be in the limelight and don’t bend the law for personal gain!
Although Zhu Yunwen ranked second among Zhu Biao's sons, after Zhu Xiongying's death, he became the de facto boss.
Lao Zhu attached great importance to his education and invited famous teachers to teach him since he was a child.
At this time, there was a strong trend of literati writing poetry, and Zhu Yunwen was no exception.
Occasionally reciting poems and composing poems shows that I am talented.
He was also awarded a prize by Zhu Yuanzhang for his outstanding poetic talent.
It also made him think more highly of himself.
……
"There are talented people from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years."
He repeated this sentence in his mind, with a very complicated look on his face.
There is silence, tension, and worry.
Looking at Zhu Yunzhen is like looking at a stranger.
Suddenly, I was a little afraid that this younger brother would be too talented and brilliant, and that he would outshine me and make him eclipse.
"The emperor asked him to study in the palace. Could it be that he wanted to train him to be a prince?"
This idea is like a creeping tiger, quickly taking root and sprouting. It was inconspicuous at first, but soon filled the whole heart.
Zhu Yunwen felt increasingly uneasy.
Lu's eyes also widened. She also came from a family of poets and writers. Her father, Lu Ben, was once a minister of the Ming Dynasty. He had been reading and literate since he was a child, and he could hear the extraordinaryness of this poem.
Holding Zhu Yunzhen tightly in her arms, Ms. Lu said with a smile: "I have only heard about talented people in operas, and they have been extraordinary since childhood. I never thought that my boy, who is only seven years old, can write such a poem."
Zhu Yunxuan scratched his head, felt quite embarrassed, and said with a red face: "Actually, you guys are ridiculous. I overheard a monk read this poem."
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly condensed.
The three great scholars obviously did not expect it. Zhu Yunwen quickly asked: "Seriously?"
Zhu Yunxuan blinked his clear and innocent eyes and said: "Of course it is true. Grandpa Huang must force me to write a poem on the spot, but I couldn't write it. Fortunately, I remembered that I heard a poem recited by an unknown monk that day, so I memorized it.
Let Grandpa Huang listen."
"I can't tell the truth to Grandpa Huang, for fear that he will be angry."
"Unexpectedly, Grandpa Huang actually published this poem, and now things have become big."
Don’t let yourself get too popular.
Especially when it makes the city full of trouble.
Although the matter of business tax has not spread yet, the shock wave is expected to be not too small. It would be a bit too much to add a poet with unrivaled talent.
"Hey!" Zhu Yunwen let out a long breath, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
Fang Xiaoru touched the beard on his chin, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng looked at each other, and the three of them couldn't help but smile.
Although this is unexpected, it is also reasonable.
This poem seems simple and straightforward, but it has a very high intention.
How can a seven-year-old child be so ambitious and talented?
It would make perfect sense if you heard it from an unknown monk.
Fang Xiaoru said with a smile: "A monk who can write such a poem must be an expert in the world, but I don't know which temple he practices in. If I have time, I will definitely go and visit."
Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were also yearning for it, and they also expressed their intention to inquire.
The hermit master has always been talked about by the literati.
They pursue fame and fortune, but envy those who escape from the world.
If you have the opportunity to have a conversation with him, it will be a good talk among the scholars.
Zhu Yunzhen was just making it up, but after hearing this, he continued to prevaricate: "That's a coincidence. I went to the dock that day and overheard it. The monk chanted as he walked, and he has long since disappeared."
Fang Xiaoru and others lamented the pity.
Huang Zicheng stumbled and sighed: "Since this person has become a monk, I guess he doesn't want to be disturbed by worldly things to practice. It's also because we have no chance to meet the master and can't meet him."
Zhu Yunzhen hid his smile and buried his head in Lu's arms to prevent others from discovering him.
Fortunately, everyone was thinking deeply and no one noticed anything unusual about him.
Zhu Yunwen let go of the depression in his heart, recalled the poem, and couldn't help but sigh: "There have always been countless great talents in the world, but I just wish I couldn't use them all. I guess my virtue and talent are too shallow."
Qi Tai smiled and said: "There are always people in the world who are arrogant and unwilling to enter the court. Your Highness is quick in thinking and has lofty ambitions. He is far beyond the reach of others, so there is no need to be too modest. Young people should have the arrogance of young people."
Zhu Yunwen saluted respectfully and said, "Sir, you have taught me the right lesson."
Zhu Yunzhen thought to himself that my brother can listen to what others say.
If there had not been the Battle of Jingnan, perhaps he would have left a reputation in the history books as one who was open-minded and accepted advice fluently, and would have left a good story about a wise king and a wise minister.
It's a pity that my IQ is still a bit insufficient, and I didn't end well in the end.
After some more greetings, a few people took their seats one after another.
Zhu Yunxuan still leaned on Lu.
After the ladies served tea, Mrs. Lu asked them all to leave.
Fang Xiaorufang opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty ordered the four emperors and grandsons to try the Bu family's corruption case, but it was a clever move."
"Oh?" Zhu Yunzhen showed surprise in a very cooperative manner.
He really wanted to hear whether these three people were really stupid.
"The fourth emperor's grandson is only seven years old and is still a child, but His Majesty has ordered him to hear a major case. This is something that has never been heard of in ancient times."
"If what I have predicted is correct, Your Majesty is not expecting any outcome from the trial of the Fourth Emperor's grandson, but is instead using this to muddy the waters."
"Xiangzhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong."
"A mere fortune telling family is not worth your majesty's troubles. What your majesty is targeting are the people behind the fortune telling family."
Fang Xiaoru paused and uttered a few words.
"Lang Guogong Sapphire!"
Tick!
Tick!
There was a sound of dripping water coming from the leak in front of the hall.
The room was unusually quiet.
Zhu Yunxuan thought to himself that Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, and Huang Zicheng were not stupid people.
But I think so.
The three of them are not as noble as Zhu Yunwen.
Instead, he studied since he was a child and relied on his own ability to advance step by step until he reached the center of the Ming Dynasty.
Such people may be a little pedantic and bookish, but they are definitely not stupid.
There are ups and downs in the officialdom. Without extraordinary means and extraordinary abilities, it is impossible to become an important minister and leave a name in the history of history.
No matter whether the reputation is good or bad.
They are losers, but it does not mean that they are weak.
But the person they are playing against is too strong.

Compared with ordinary people, compared with the mentally retarded protagonists in later time travel novels, they are still much stronger and can easily crush each other without any effort.
Zhu Yunzhen didn't feel that he was very smart, especially when faced with these people, so he asked: "Then how should I deal with Mr. Yifang's high opinion?"
Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Highness has been entrusted by His Majesty and cannot live up to the high expectations. He should enforce the law impartially and find out one by one the evidence of how the Duke of Liang and the Bu family colluded with each other, committed corruption and ran rampant in the countryside, preying on the common people."
p>
Is this to pin the blame on Lan Yu?
Zhu Yunxuan thought silently in his heart.
Does Lao Zhu really mean this?
I’m afraid not necessarily!
Convicting Lan Yu is not a trivial matter.
If Lao Zhu doesn't move, it will be fine. If he moves, it will be a thunderous thunder.
The Bu family's guilt is not light, but when it comes to Lan Yu, it's not necessarily that heavy.
After all, he really has extraordinary merits.
He was a master who even dared to defile the Beiyuan Emperor.
If Lan Yu is punished with a serious crime just because of the fortune-telling family, I'm afraid the people of the world will be dissatisfied.
Lao Zhu would not have thought of this level.
If Lan Yu really wants to be killed, he should still be charged with rebellion, so that he can't stand up and no one in the world can say anything wrong.
Because of the Bu family's affairs, there is no need to alert others.
……
Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng also nodded slightly, obviously they had discussed it long ago.
Zhu Yunzhen pretended to be puzzled and asked: "But after all, Duke Liang is a relative of my family, an uncle and a great-uncle..."
"Fourth brother." Zhu Yunwen interjected from the side: "This matter cannot be done for personal gain or bending the law. There is no selfish relationship in the Tian family, not to mention that he is just a relative, not our mother's, and there is still a layer between us."
"You don't need to worry about Third Brother, I will enlighten him on my own."
"Third brother has always been sensible and aware of justice. I will not blame you for this matter."
Zhu Yunxuan turned around and said with a smile: "What do I know about trial cases? It all depends on a few gentlemen."
Zhu Yunwen nodded repeatedly and said: "You are still young and not sensible, so naturally you should listen to your husband more."
"And next time Master Yin Gu of Yingtian Mansion comes, you must not miss him."
"Master Gu is the minister of the DPRK and is in charge of the capital. You are so lazy and have a bad reputation."
I am just a child, what kind of reputation do I need!
Zhu Yunxuan secretly slandered him in his heart.
He nodded heavily: "Second brother is absolutely right. Next time Mr. Gu comes again, I will definitely stop playing!"
