Chapter 266 Song Lian’s Recommendation
Royal Palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Suddenly hearing that Song Lian suggested that Hu Fei be allowed to teach in the Imperial College, Zhu Yuanzhang froze on the spot.
One is because although Hu Fei has unparalleled talents, he is unique in his own way. Going to the Imperial College to receive a tutor can cause a lot of trouble in the city, let alone asking him to teach.
The second reason was because he remembered that Song Lian had always looked down on Hu Fei, and now that he suddenly recommended Hu Fei to teach in the Imperial College, it was indeed a bit surprising.
"Song Qing, are you serious?"
So, after Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, I sincerely hope so."
Song Lian nodded and replied respectfully.
"Why? Aren't you always on bad terms with him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked puzzledly.
"While evading, Wei Chen admitted that he did not look down on him before. Although he was a talented poet, he behaved too much and acted recklessly, relying solely on his mood. Such a person cannot be a role model for the younger generation of our dynasty.
"
"But after meeting him at the annual banquet, Wei Chen has changed his mind. He knows that he is not only proficient in poetry, but also superior in other aspects."
"Furthermore, he held a free annual banquet for the lonely old people in the capital city, which made the ministers respect him very much. Furthermore, the rat plague in Changzhou before and the ice spring now are enough to prove what kind of person he is.
people."
"So, Wei Chen feels that Wei Chen has been looking down on him and is short-sighted. He should be a role model for the younger generation."
"There are many dandies in this capital city, and there are also many children from aristocratic families in the Imperial Academy. Many of them were once dandy children. If Jiu'an Hou teaches, more people may be able to find their way back from their lost ways and become talents of great use in our future."
Song Lian bowed and spoke eloquently. Every sentence he said was true to his feelings and spoke loudly.
After listening to Song Lian's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little stunned. He did not expect that Song Lian had already understood so much in just half a month.
And he also suddenly discovered that he had inadvertently ignored many of Hu Fei's outstanding qualities.
"After listening to Song Qing's words, I suddenly felt that he is worthy of being addressed as sir. Maybe what you said makes sense."
"Besides, he is now Yunwen's teacher. If he can be the teacher of the emperor's grandson, he can naturally be the teacher of the children of aristocratic families and ordinary people."
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.
Mentioning his imperial grandson, he also thought of the ways of being a minister and a king that Hu Fei taught to his grandson.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, but Wei Chen mentioned it to Marquis Jiu'an once before, but he rejected it."
"Wei Chen heard that when he went to the Imperial College to be taught, it was because of His Majesty's order. If that's the case, then Your Majesty might as well make another order for him to teach in the Imperial College."
"I don't know, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Song Lian smiled and said slowly.
"Okay, then I will follow your opinion and issue an order tomorrow for him to be on duty in the Imperial College!"
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your permission, Your Majesty."
When Song Lian heard this, he looked happy, bowed respectfully, and said gratefully.
He hoped that through this incident, Hu Fei could completely eliminate his dissatisfaction with him, and that he could take care of his grandson Song Shen a hundred years later.
After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Song Lian said goodbye and left, agreeing to return to Kyoto to pay his respects to Zhu Yuanzhang during the Chinese New Year next year.
After Song Lian left, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Pang Yuhai to draft an edict and prepare to send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion early tomorrow morning.
...
Early the next morning.
Hu Mansion.
Early in the morning, Princess Anqing came to Hu Mansion with her personal maid Xiaodie and went into Linglong Garden.
After Hu Weiyong found out, he forcefully forced Chundie to wake Hu Fei up and ordered Hu Fei to have breakfast with him in the front yard.
The first month of the new year was about to pass, and various government offices began to operate normally. Compared with previous years, this year officials from various government offices often came to discuss matters in the mansion. He did not want others to see the affairs of Princess Anqing and her son.
Hu Fei was awakened and had no choice but to take Princess Anqing to the front yard. Looking at the table full of food, he had no appetite.
On the contrary, Princess Anqing was used to eating food in the palace, but she always liked the food in the prime minister's mansion and started eating as soon as she sat down.
"Who are you showing your face to?"
Hu Weiyong saw that his son had a straight face from beginning to end, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.
"Whoever sees it, it is for him to see."
Hu Fei rolled his eyes at Hu Weiyong and said lazily.
Princess Anqing was woken up by Chundie as soon as she got into her bed. He was now very angry and had nowhere to vent his anger.
"you..."
After hearing Hu Fei's words, Hu Weiyong's face darkened and he was so angry that he could not speak.
"Brother Fei, don't talk to Mr. Hu like that. Mr. Hu has already worked hard enough to worry about court affairs. You can't let Mr. Hu be in a bad mood when he wakes up early in the morning, right?"
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Princess Anqing hesitated, turned to look at Hu Fei, and said seriously, her two big eyes flickering.
"Look at how sensible Princess Anqing is, and then look at you."
After hearing what Princess Anqing said, Hu Weiyong couldn't help but smile, pointed at Hu Fei, and said angrily.
Since Princess Anqing has been visiting Hu's house frequently since the Chinese New Year, over time, Hu Weiyong and his future daughter-in-law have also gotten along more and more harmoniously. They no longer have to bow to each other and speak politely as before.
You have to think twice.
"I see that your relationship has been getting better and better recently. It seems like she is your daughter, I am your son-in-law, and my real son seems like an outsider."
Hu Fei rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
"No nonsense!"
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he shrank his neck and said in a deep voice.
"It's better to have a daughter-in-law. She's very well-behaved. Why don't you marry another one so that you don't have to trouble me all day long?"
Hu Fei laughed, hugged Princess Anqing into his arms, looked at Hu Weiyong, and said jokingly.
After hearing what Hu Fei said, Princess Anqing lowered her head shyly, making even Hu Weiyong blush.
But before Hu Weiyong could scold Hu Fei for his indiscretion, butler Qin Hai quickly rushed into the main hall.
"Master, Master, it's not good, someone is coming from the palace!"
"It seems...it seems to have an imperial edict!"
Qin Hai looked at Hu Weiyong and Hu Fei and said anxiously.
After hearing Qin Hai's words, Hu Weiyong was startled and hurriedly looked at Princess Anqing in Hu Fei's arms.
"You take your daughter-in-law...Princess Anqing away first, don't let anyone in the palace catch you!"
Hu Weiyong stood up in a hurry and said anxiously, accidentally almost saying the word "daughter-in-law."
After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Hu Fei couldn't help laughing and looked at Chun Die aside.
"Chundie, take the princess into the inner hall!"
Hu Fei looked at Chun Dishe, waved his hand and said.
Chundie agreed and immediately led Princess Anqing, who got up, toward the small door deep in the main hall.
There is an inner hall, where Hu Weiyong occasionally discusses important matters with his subordinates.
As Princess Anqing had just left, two young eunuchs had already walked quickly into the courtyard.
Hu Fei glanced at it and ignored it. He continued to sit on the chair and taste the soup in the bowl, pretending that nothing happened.
"I have met Hu Xiang and Jiu'an Hou."
After the two young eunuchs entered the main hall, they saluted Hu Weiyong and Hu Fei one after another and said respectfully.
Hu Weiyong stood up again with a smile on his face and nodded slightly.
Hu Fei just waved his hand casually without even looking back.
"My dear father-in-law, are you here with an imperial edict?"
Hu Weiyong looked at the imperial edict held by one of them, and asked with eyes brightening, thinking about what kind of imperial edict this was.
"Returning to Prime Minister Hu is indeed an imperial edict. Your Majesty has an edict to deliver to the Marquis of Jiu'an."
The little eunuch nodded and replied respectfully.
"You bastard, you still don't accept the order?!"
Hu Weiyong glanced at Hu Fei, who was still sitting on the chair, and said in a deep voice.
But Hu Fei sat on the chair a little indifferently, still showing no intention of getting up.
"Jiu'an Hou accepts the order!"
The young eunuch turned around and looked at Hu Fei, nodded slightly and said loudly.
"Brat!"
Hu Weiyong hurriedly reminded him again.
Hu Fei sighed helplessly, stood up slowly, and greeted the imperial edict respectfully, but his right eyelid kept twitching, and his heart was beating...
