Regarding Lao Zhu's proposal, Zhu Su thought for a while and agreed. His subordinates entered the palace to be rewarded, and he was proud of himself. What's more, letting Tiezhong be rewarded was also a kind of political propaganda, which could attract hundreds of officials and scholars.
Everyone knows which side the emperor is on. If there are still people who want to continue to make trouble against Enke and Xinxue, they have to consider whether they can withstand the storm coming from the emperor.
The Hongwu Dynasty was very efficient in doing things. After a while, the trembling Tie Zhong was brought to the Jinshen Hall. He looked shivering, always looking at his toes, not even daring to raise his head. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he knelt down.
He came down and shouted: "Common people, please knock on the iron bell to see His Majesty the Ming Emperor! May His Majesty bow down and be blessed!"
The voice actually trembled a little.
It was just that in my desperation, I didn't see that Lao Zhu was not sitting on the throne, but was waiting on the left screen with Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, looking at the map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms. He bowed to the sky directly.
Both Zhu Di and Zhu Biao were a little stunned. They didn't expect that this talented person who made Lao Zhu favored him would be so timid. But Lao Zhu didn't take it seriously. Tiezhong's appearance was very much like those honest farmers in the countryside.
He is an honest man, and is undoubtedly more popular with Lao Zhu than those elegant and clever gentlemen in the court. He smiled and said: "Pingshen, Pingshen, no need to be polite!"
"We also have two eyes and one nose, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Your name is Tiezhong? Come on, raise your head and let us see."
"When we heard about it just now, we were curious about what this tough guy who defeated a bunch of pickers looked like."
Tie Zhong didn't dare to disobey, so he mustered up his courage and finally raised his face. However, his eyes were still fixed on his toes, and he didn't dare to do anything arrogant.
Lao Zhu saw that the face of the iron clock was dark, and there were even many calluses on his hands. Except for a pair of slightly blue eyes, it was no different from the other blacksmiths in the shop. He couldn't help but sigh: "We heard that you were forging iron in Lao Wu's Mansion.
, we still don’t believe it, thinking that a well-educated person like you must have a lot of time to devote to studying.”
When these words came out, both Lao Zhu and Zhu Su were stunned. The emperor gave him the chance to make a wish, and he actually wanted to use it to change his younger brother's schooling?
"Really? I have thanked your majesty, thanked your majesty!" Tie Zhong was overjoyed and knelt down to pay homage to Lao Zhu. He did not show any signs of panic because Lao Zhu proposed to take the test against his younger brother.
Lao Zhu asked people to help him up. Seeing Tie Zhong's behavior, it seemed that the third brother of the Tie family was really a talent. So they waited for Erhu to announce the third brother of the Tie family and took the test.
Compared with this Tie Zhong, if he was asked about something about the sages and sages, this Tie Zhong didn't know anything about it. However, if he was asked about people's livelihood, farming matters, and taxation management, he would answer all questions and speak clearly and logically.
Old Zhu's eyes showed warmth, and he admired the honest Tie Zhong even more. But after hearing what Tie Zhong said, he became curious about the third brother of the Tie family. "If the third brother of your family can teach you
For such a brother, entering the Imperial College is not a big deal."
Zhu Su was speechless, who asked if it counts in your family? In the eyes of others, this is obviously just a child, okay?
Lao Zhu also had the same idea as Zhu Su, so he did not worry too much about his third brother. Instead, he smiled at Tie Zhong and said, "You have done great service for us today, and we are very relieved."
"Your Majesty, I have an audience with my brother Tie Zhong." Several people were chatting happily when they heard the report from two tigers outside.
"Oh?" Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Su in surprise, and Zhu Su was also stunned. Tie Zhong's family all worked in Prince Wu's Mansion, and he actually had a third brother who was more talented than him?
But in fact, Zhu Su only believed half of this. After all, having an iron clock was already a huge bargain. How could it be possible that they had several brothers, and everyone was a talented person? A huge part of this must be iron
Zhong's self-effacing words.
"Let's do this. Let's announce your third brother as well and let the fifth brother take a test in front of us. If he has real talent and learning, he will be admitted to the Imperial College on the spot. How about that?"
"This is a talented official who can bring benefits to the country!" Zhu Su was delighted. There are still such unknown talents hidden in history. It can be said that he has found a treasure.
“As long as it’s reasonable and reasonable, we’ll accept anything!”
Lao Zhu directly turned on the emperor mode and began to win people's hearts. Tie Zhong was startled when he heard this, and wanted to refuse at first. Seeing that Lao Zhu insisted on a reward, Zhu Su had no objection, so he cautiously said: "In that case, Xiao
People still...have such extravagant hopes."
"The knowledge I have in my stomach is all what my third brother forced me to learn every night after I went to work."
"Your Highness, my third brother is eight years old this year." Tie Zhong still looked honest and honest. "In a family like ours, an eight-year-old boy can already start to smelt iron and make simple farm tools to support the family.
.”
Zhu Su was in high spirits. Even Tie Zhong was so impressive. He was also about to see if this third brother, who was so highly regarded by Tie Zhong, could find another talent. It would be a great joy. But when he
When he turned his head, he saw a child, following Erhu step by step, into the Jinshen Hall.
"If we don't reward these achievements, we won't be able to convince the public. Tell me, what do you want us to reward?"
"Can...can you ask Your Majesty to allow the villain's third brother to enter the Imperial College and study with His Highness the Fifth Prince?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is so complimentary." Tie Zhong's dark face turned red visibly when Lao Zhu praised him like this. "Young man... I'm not really well-educated."
Lao Zhu and Zhu Su were stunned. Zhu Su was speechless: "Tie Zhong, your third brother... is still a child?"
"When it comes to being well-educated, my third brother is the most learned man. The villain... the villain is definitely not as good as my third brother Wan Yi." Tie Zhong said shyly.
"The villain's third brother highly admires the new learning, and admires and admires His Highness who pioneered the new learning. He once said that the only wish in this life is to enter the Imperial College, where he can listen to the teachings of His Highness the Fifth Highness, Master Song and others...
"
This matter... is indeed too easy to handle!
How could a child deserve such praise from Tie Zhong? It seemed that Tie Zhong was bragging after all. At most, he just wanted to make a good impression on the third brother in the eyes of the royal family, so as to help this potentially promising young man.
The third brother is just looking for a future career.
"No more children."
"Now it seems that if you want to be knowledgeable, you can't just study! If you didn't have this experience, you probably wouldn't be able to defeat those scholars who just study!"
Just as they were disappointed, the young man's next words made the four Zhu family father and son in the Jinshen Hall all shocked!
"Tie Xuan, a common man, has met His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Yan, and His Highness the King of Wu."
When Zhu Su heard this name, the folding fan in his hand almost flew out of his hand. But he was not the most rude. Zhu Di, who was sitting on the chair and twiddling his fingers as if he was bored, jumped up and suddenly
He took a few steps forward and stared directly at this mere eight-year-old child.
"Are you Tie Xuan? You are actually Tie Xuan!"
The previous chapter was Chapter 470, the number of chapters was wrong... But I can’t change it, this chapter is Chapter 471 haha
