Chapter eight hundred and fifty first apprenticeship

Yu Chenglong followed the people from the Dongchang out of the alley. Eleven families lived in Caiyuan Hutong, but they were all farmers, laborers, and poor people. Seeing that these guys from the Dongchang were like wolves and tigers, they were so scared that they closed the door tightly. At the same time, they scolded these bastards of the factory guards in their hearts. It seems that it is unreasonable to catch such a good person from Mr. Yu!

The power of public opinion in the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of scholars, so naturally there was no good impression of these factory guards who were against him. Therefore, in the play, the storytelling portrayed these factory guards as unforgivable bad guys. Ordinary people dared to be angry at these guys but dared not speak out.

Yu Chenglong, dressed in a commoner, was taken into the palace by Li Chengen and brought to the emperor Zhu Hongsan. Yu Chenglong walked into the Ganqing Palace and saw Emperor Zhu Hongsan put one leg on the stool next to him. A young man of fourteen or fifteen years old stood beside the emperor. When Yu Chenglong saw the emperor's appearance, he couldn't help but feel angry.

Yu Chenglong heard from others that this legendary emperor, and knew that this emperor was similar to Liu Bei. He was a royal family that did not study at the time, and his identity was still doubtful (Zhu Hongsan said: Fart, I was an orthodox royal family, much better than Liu Da'er, who had more than 140 ancestors, but my identity proof was burned by Zhang Xianzhong's bastard!). However, although Liu Bei was born in the market, he was much more respectful to scholars, otherwise he would not have had the allusion of visiting the cottage three times.

However, the emperor in front of him actually met the scholar barefoot without shoes, and was so rude, which was really inappropriate. However, Jackie Chan was not Hai Rui. If Hai Rui had to scold the emperor on this occasion, but Yu Chenglong had many accidents. Although he was dissatisfied, he did not bring anything out on his face, but just bowed and bowed.

"Yu Chenglong, a tribute student from the Imperial College, paid homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Zhu Hongsan didn't know that Yu Chenglong called him a fool. In fact, Zhu Hongsan paid great attention to his image. However, the gout is really aggravated today and there are so many things to do, so Zhu Hongsan had to take the initiative to manage the country.

Zhu Hongsan saw an old man coming in. He was wearing an ordinary cotton gown, his hair and beard were gray, and he looked fifty or sixty. Zhu Hongsan knew that Yu Chenglong was about the same age as him. Yu Chenglong was born in the 45th year of Wanli. This year was the 11th year of Shenwu, which was 1661 AD. Yu Chenglong should be forty-four years old, but why did the Forty-four become like this?

Zhu Hongsan looked at Yu Chenglong in detail and asked, "Are you Yu Chenglong? Yu Chenglong from Shanxi?" Zhu Hongsan knew that there was another Yu Chenglong, who was called Xiao Yu Chenglong in history, and was still a relatively good official, but his ability was even worse than that of Greater than Jackie Chan. Did he find the wrong person when Dongchang went to find someone?

What Zhu Hongsan didn't know was that Yu Jackie Chan was a Manchu Han Army Banner, and he was much younger than Yu Jackie Chan. He was only twenty-three years old this year.

Yu Chenglong bowed and said when he heard the emperor's question: "Your Majesty, Caomin is from Yongning Prefecture, Shanxi!"

Zhu Hongsan didn't know if he was looking for it, but looking at this poor look, it was probably the same. Anyway, this old guy is also a scholar, and he has become more poor than Jackie Chan, and he is almost the same.

Zhu Hongsan nodded, waved his hand and let the idle people in the room wait out, leaving only the young man and the old eunuch Li Chengen, and then said, "Yu Chenglong, I have encountered a troublesome thing for me to come today. I hope you can solve it for me!"

"If you eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, the people are Your Majesty's subjects, so you will naturally share your worries!" Although Yu Chenglong is not an official, he has to receive the fortune and rice every month as a tribute student in the Imperial College, so he is considered a financial meal.

Zhu Hongsan heard that Yu Chenglong was so satisfied. He liked the guys who were brainwashed by Confucian doctrine the most, and they were all loyal to him.

"Okay, Yu Chenglong, what can you do if I ask you to be an imperial envoy and be responsible for hearing corruption cases in a province?"

Yu Chenglong was excited when he heard the emperor say this, and his hands were trembling. In order to avoid losing etiquette in front of the king, he quickly clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, if Caomin serves as the imperial envoy, he will definitely handle the case impartially, and then return to Beijing to report the cause and effect to Your Majesty to know!"

Yu Chenglong's answer was pretty normal. Zhu Hongsan nodded and said to the young man in the prince's uniform beside him: "Fourth, go and get a stool for Yu Chenglong!"

After hearing what the emperor said, Yu Chenglong realized that the young prince was the emperor's fourth prince. He quickly bowed and avoided and said, "The people of Cao don't dare, how dare the people of Cao want to bother the prince!"

This young man is Zhu Hongsan's fourth son, Zhu Yuan, the king of Yan, and the eldest son of Princess Zhu Mu. He came to Yu Chenglong with an embroidery pier. Seeing Yu Chenglong's humility, Zhu Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, this is the will of his father and his trust in his husband!"

This is not a small honor to give a seat in front of the emperor, but only the ministers closest to the emperor have. Yu Chenglong's face turned red with excitement after receiving this honor, and he completely forgot that he had just scolded the emperor as a foolish monarch.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Yu Chenglong sitting down, then sighed and said, "I used to think that the emperor of the ages is simple. But I was wrong. Just in the morning, someone impeached officials in Henan Province, saying that they were in a position, and they did not work. At the same time, they embezzled the tens of millions of silver dollars I allocated to Henan. I was very angry, but the ministers in the court were in harmony, and I felt that no one was available, so I selected talents in the Imperial College!"

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he was in the Imperial College for a long time and knew about some battles in the court, but he was just a tribute student and did not even have the qualifications to participate. Unexpectedly, the feng shui took turns, and now it is his turn.

Zhu Hongsan took a sip of water and continued, "So I have to choose an outsider to investigate this case. I have decided to appoint King Yan Zhu Yuan to deal with this matter!"

Yu Chenglong heard the emperor say this and couldn't breathe. Emperor, you are playing with the old man? He said that he could be the imperial envoy, how could he become the King of Yan now?

"Yu Chenglong, it's not that I don't trust you, but you are a tribute student. I'm afraid that you will not be able to move the chief officials! That's why I sent the prince out. With Zhu Yuan blocking in front, you can investigate the case!"

After Zhu Hongsan said that, he waved to Li Chengen. Old Li took out an imperial edict and opened his mind and said, "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor said: Imperial College was born in Chenglong, loyalty, filial piety, integrity and kindness, and is a role model for scholars. Now he is simply a member of the Ministry of Construction!"

I have introduced the official position of the minister before. Although the position is only seventh rank, I have great power in my hands, and even the emperor's imperial edict can be returned. When Yu Chenglong heard that the emperor actually granted such a noble official position, he quickly knelt down on his knees to receive the imperial edict.

Zhu Hongsan and Yu Chenglong stood up and continued, "Yu Aiqing, I ordered you to assist King Yan to go to Henan with you. King Yan is in the dark, and you must find out the truth about Henan!"

Yu Chenglong quickly expressed his opinion: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, the people... I will definitely find out the case and will never let a bad person go, nor will I wrongly accuse a good person!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded when he heard Yu Chenglong say this, and then directly said to King Yan Zhu Yuan: "Yu Aiqing, there is another thing, this is my fourth son. He just turned fifteen this year and he is still a child. The Henan delegation will have to discipline Yu Aiqing more!"

Yu Chenglong heard the emperor say this and made him the teacher of the King of Yan. What kind of virtue is he? He is not even a juren. How can he be a prince’s teacher? The country has laws and regulations. The prince’s teachers are all Hanlin bachelors, and they are basically the top scorer. Even if he is shameless to take on this position, he will not be scolded to death in the Shilin?

Yu Chenglong was about to refuse, but Zhu Hongsan continued, "Yu Aiqing, I ask you, what's the most difficult thing in this world?"

When Yu Chenglong heard the emperor's question, he dared to answer and quickly said, "I don't know!"

Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, "There are many things in the world that are not easy, but I think the most difficult thing is to educate children! A child is born and is not just for food and clothing. He is also responsible for education and supervision, and ensures that he becomes a useful person. Just like a small tree, watering it when it is dry, weed it when it is weed, and insects when it is bugs. You are also a father, you should be able to understand me!"

Yu Chenglong now has three sons, and his eldest son Yu Tingyi has entered school and is studying at home. Yu Chenglong also remembered his son when he heard the emperor say this, and he nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right!"

"I have a lot of sons. Although they are close to each other, they are all my sons. I don't want them to become waste like King Fu in the future. The bandits can't even remember to run away when they come. They are cooked into a pot of Fulu Banquet by the bandits!"

Most of the royal families who were defeated in Wuchang were killed by bandits, and this incident had a great impact on Zhu Hongsan. In fact, if Zhu Hongsan was not a time traveler, he would probably die in war. There was no life skills or a slight understanding of the worldly affairs of the royal families who did not understand the odds of living in troubled times.

Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Hongsan must end the policy of raising the royal family as pigs in the Ming Dynasty, and at least ensure that his descendants and descendants have the skills to survive. Therefore, Zhu Hongsan withstood the pressure of letting the princes become vassals in the court, keeping all the princes by his side, and finding appropriate teachers for them.

There are also disadvantages in doing so. The advantage is that as long as you are talented, you can stand out. There will be many candidates when the emperor chooses heirs. This is also the disadvantage. Several princes are very powerful and will definitely compete for power and profit when they grow up. The competition for the throne of the Nine Dragons in the late Kangxi period is a typical example.

"Yu Aiqing, I don't want you to teach the King of Yan so profoundly. I just hope you can let the King of Yan learn the hardships of the world, and how difficult it is to live as an ordinary person!"

After saying that, Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Yuan: "Fourth, go and kneel down to your teacher and give the ceremony of apprenticeship!"

Zhu Yuan is the prince. Although he had the emperor's order, Yu Chenglong did not dare to sit there waiting for Zhu Yuan to kowtow. Yu Chenglong quickly stood up and returned Zhu Yuan with a half-hearted salute, which was considered the prince's teacher.
