"That's not necessarily the case." Zhu Houcong looked at him with a half-smile.
In fact, there are so many gaps now. It can be said that there is a shortage of people everywhere. If he fills in people, it is only a matter of one sentence. In the past, he might have said a few words. After all, this is against the rules, but it is different now. Some departments
It is almost an empty shell. If Zhu Houcong is blocked, it will be too late for the other side to be happy.
In fact, it's not impossible. It's actually quite good to go to the real power department for some experience. After all, you have to go there anyway. It just speeds up the process.
Others might do this, but for Xu Jie, Zhu Houcong hoped that he would go to the cabinet to learn innovative thinking first. After all, what if he puts down his preconceived ideas first and gets corrupted?
Xu Jie was also a little dazed, but then he came to his senses. Don't take compliments seriously. You have to stay awake.
"Haha, don't talk about me anymore, what about you, why do you want to get the honor?"
"Maybe I want to live a better life at home. My parents have never gone to school, so they can only do the hardest and most tiring jobs and are at the bottom of society. So when I was a child, they made sure to let me
Study, then you let me study and I will study. Unexpectedly, my talent is not bad. Slowly I understand their good intentions. Even if I don’t pass the exam now, I can still go back to be a teacher. I don’t have to be like them.
With your face facing the loess and your back facing the sky, if nothing else, at least you should be more dignified."
Zhu Houcong put himself into the role of his previous life. Only when he grows up can he understand the good intentions of his parents and how much they have paid for the growth of their children.
Every time he thought about this, Zhu Houcong felt a little regretful. Maybe he would never be able to go back, even though he didn't have much thought about it in the first place.
The most practical thing is to live until that year, but at that time, history has been changed by myself. What should be destroyed is not destroyed, and what should appear will naturally not appear. And by that time, I was not born, I am
If you can't travel back in time, isn't this a time paradox?
It was also based on this that Zhu Houcong wondered whether living in the past would be a dream, but the mother of this body was definitely not her child, which made him a little confused.
"Yes, live a better life. Reading is the simplest and most straightforward way to change your life. If Brother Lin didn't study, he would probably have children by now." Xu Jie also sighed with emotion. His situation was similar, very special.
I am grateful to my parents who allowed me to study in the first place and gave me the opportunity to change my destiny.
If not, I would be facing the earth with my back to the sky now. Unexpectedly, even the circumstances are not that good. The two of them are really destined.
"Haha, I guess I already have a son and a daughter. In fact, I don't think much about it. The officialdom is too dangerous, so I just plan to get a part-time official position and return to my hometown. It would be nice to live a stable life.
"Zhu Houcong smiled. This was really his wish in his last life. He just hoped to find a stable job in his hometown, not to have a successful career, but to be able to stay with his parents.
"I don't agree with this. A real man stands between heaven and earth. Why not try your best to see the scenery at the top? Brother Lin, don't waste such a good talent. If one day we two become officials in the same court, how can we do it?
Take care of one or two.”
Xu Jie quickly stopped. What are you talking about? Being a human being is so easy to be satisfied. What fun is there? Now you can be a small official when you go back. The status of a candidate is not enough, so why bother? For this unambitious person
Brother, Xu Jie needs to be enlightened.
"Everyone has his own ambitions, Zi Sheng, let's not talk about it anymore. This is my personality. It is fate that I can meet Brother Zi Sheng today. If you become successful in the future, don't forget to take care of your little brother." Zhu Houcong has completely taken care of himself.
If he assumes the identity of an ordinary person, it doesn't count as assuming. He was an ordinary person in his previous life.
He seemed more free and easy like this, and this kind of relief actually made Xu Jie a little envious. He could be a minor official, handle some government affairs, and then spend time with his parents, wife and children. Thinking about that kind of life, it was quite happy.
But if he is allowed to do this, he is unwilling to do so. He has his own ideas. It can only be said that everyone has his own ambitions.
"Lin Yu, don't you think about it? After all, opportunities are rare. I dare to conclude that our group is definitely a unique group and will make many fewer detours than others." Xu Jie's political sense is still very keen.
"Haha, Zisheng also said something about not even a single stroke of his horoscope. First of all, we haven't passed the exam yet. Also, if we really pass the exam, maybe my mind will change in the future. People will change.
If one day Zisheng gets tired of officialdom, he can bring his family to see me." Zhu Houcong smiled. People's hearts are fickle. Thinking like this now does not mean that you will think like this all your life. Who hasn't been young before?
"That's what I said, let's not talk about it, let's drink and drink." Xu Jie thought about it. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future because of the lack of guarantees.
The two drank for a while, but Xu Jie's drinking capacity was obviously not as good as Zhu Houcong's. Looking at Xu Jie who was already lying down, Zhu Houcong's mouth curved up, he would always wake up from his dream, and he would eventually go back.
It's useless to talk more. We will see each other again in the future. If Lu Fang doesn't go back, they will probably search for him all over the world. It's really helpless.
He didn't care about Xu Jie, just let him sleep here. He gave the shopkeeper some money to help take care of him and went back. Although he wouldn't work when he went back, others would be there.
Early the next morning, Xu Jie patted his groggy forehead. He was really sleepy. He drank too much yesterday.
"Brother Lin Yu, Lin Yu?" Xu Jie called Lin Yu's name.
"Ah, Master, you are awake. The Master went back yesterday and left a letter for you." The store owner handed a letter to Xu Jie.
"Leaving?" Xu Jie's eyes were a little disappointed. He still wanted to talk to Lin Yu more, but it didn't count as leaving without saying goodbye. At least he left a letter.
Xu Jie slowly opened the envelope.
"Zisheng, if something happens today, I will take the first step. I will treat you as your treat for today's meal. I will treat you to a drink another day."
There was only one line in the letter, but Xu Jie smiled. It was really free and easy. It was quite similar to his character. I have to say that even though they had only met for a while, he did like this little brother a little bit.
, but he doesn’t know where he lives. How can he eat this food?
"Master is out again?" As soon as he returned to the palace, he heard Huang Jin's faint voice. If Zhu Houcong hadn't been so courageous, he would have been frightened to death by these slaves.
"Ahem, when did you come?" I don't know why, but I still feel a little guilty. Even if the emperor treats him like this, no one will be hungry.
"My slave came last night and found that the master was no longer in the house. Actually, it's not impossible for the master to go out if he really has something to do. We can't stop the master. It's just that the master can tell the slave." Huang Jin accepted it.
The angry little daughter-in-law usually catches her husband who comes back from having a romantic affair.
"Ahem, I will definitely tell you next time." Zhu Houcong said haha. He regretted a little. Why did he teach Huang Jin martial arts? After teaching martial arts, it would not be so easy for him to run. It's not that he couldn't run.
He didn't even know he ran away. The key is that he can find out after running away.
"Master seems to have said this last time, and then..." Huang Jin said, I believe you, but fortunately I have a certain immunity, and His Majesty usually doesn't go out too much.
After a long time, I came back soon, so I didn’t have to worry too much.
That is to say, they are very arrogant. If it had been anyone else and the emperor had been lost, he would have been searched all over the world. This is no small matter.
The key is that there is nothing they can do if they are not used to it. Who told them to have such a master?
"Accident, that's all an accident. Well, that's the end of the matter. Go get some water for me to wash up first." Zhu Houcong threw the robe aside. He didn't want to argue with Huang Jin. Sometimes it was necessary.
When I go out for a run, sometimes it’s just to get some fresh air. Being an emperor, sometimes it’s quite boring.
If he doesn't go out for a run, he is afraid that he will give up his career. If you really enjoy the position of emperor, it will be really enjoyable. If you work, it will be really tiring. Anyway, Zhu Houcong didn't find any fun.
The only thing worthy of praise is probably teasing Yang Shen.
"Everything is ready, Master. Master, please come with me." Huang Jin just complained. Your Majesty has gone too far now. If you don't talk about it, he will go even further in the future.
But now that His Majesty has this attitude, what else do you want to do? Can you make Your Majesty bow his head and admit his mistake? This is impossible, and he will not be so stupid.
"By the way, don't throw away my robe. Keep it for me. I found it with great difficulty." That robe was really hard to find. After all, there was no such thing in the palace.
"No." What else can Huang Jin say? Just put it away.
Zhu Houcong felt much better after taking a hot bath. After taking a bath, he was about to start today's work. Today's work was to go to the cabinet to read the memorial.
In essence, Zhu Houcong trusted Yan Song and the others, but he could not ignore these things at all.
It’s okay to be lazy at ordinary times, but you still have to take a look occasionally and pay attention to what happened recently. You can ignore many things, but at least you have to be aware of them.
In the past, Zhu Houcong asked him to directly report many things in Dongchang, but later Gu Dayong was busy with other things, so this matter was shelved.
He has never read the cabinet memorials. Basically, Lu Fang just picks up important things and tells him about them, and he just listens to them. After all, these things have been dealt with, and he will only publish a very few things.
Opinion.
He never interferes in areas that he doesn't understand. This may be part of his character. It should be a pleasure to work under him. After all, whether he does things or not, as long as you can do a good job, he will not interfere.
Yan Song was still very surprised by Zhu Houcong's arrival. After all, His Majesty would rather lie in bed and get moldy than come over. Anyway, he had never seen His Majesty come here once.
"Hey, you can do whatever you need to do. I just came here to express my condolences to you. I also brought you some pastries. If you have nothing to do, you can eat some." Zhu Houcong waved his hand, and several young eunuchs came forward carrying several food boxes.
Come on, open them all and you’ll find exquisite pastries, the kind that you can’t bear to eat just by looking at them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I heard that Your Majesty went out alone again yesterday?" Yan Song bowed slightly and rubbed his swollen head.
"Why do you even know about this? Why do you still want to talk to me?" Zhu Houcong was a little dissatisfied. Hey, hey, hey, do you want to say something to me? I don't want to lose face.
"Weichen doesn't dare, but Weichen also wants to go out for a walk." Yan Song smiled slightly. Well, although it was suspected of being a joke, he did want to go out for a walk, but it seemed a bit dangerous.
"Ah, what did I think it was? It's simple. I'm going to go out in two days, so I'll take you with me. I'll take you to meet someone by the way." What did Zhu Houcong think it was, other than just going out to relax?
Yeah, absolutely no problem.
It is said that Yan Song has been in the palace for a long time, and he is really bored. Why didn't he think of it before? He stopped by to see Xu Jie and see if Yan Song could make eye contact. If not, he should just leave it to Yang Shen. There must be someone
As a deputy, if something happens to these two people, someone has to take over.
"Meeting someone?" Yan Song was a little curious. Is it some kind of great talent that His Majesty values?
"Yes, we met each other last night when we went out, and we seem to be eye-catching. See if we can make eye contact with each other. If we do, I'll give it to you. If not, I'll leave it to Yang Shen."
"The candidate this time?" Yan Song guessed what.
"Yes, I will take you to see him another day. After all, you are his teacher, right? I still owe him a meal, so I ate it at your place." Zhu Houcong didn't shy away from it, wasn't he just going to a brothel?
, the emperor who was beaten might have to be told by his ministers, or be taught a lesson by the queen mother, etc., but it didn't matter to him, the place was run by the chief minister of the dynasty, and he could go around and work together as he wanted, no one dared to say it was not the case.
"It's an honor. I want to take a closer look at who has attracted your majesty's praise." This aroused Yan Song's interest. After all, the people your majesty is interested in are generally not simple people, so for this person
He is quite curious about people.
"There will be a chance. Where are the memorials you reviewed before? I'll go and take a look. I won't pay any attention to them. Don't say I'm a fool. I don't distrust you."
Zhu Houcong's words were relatively relaxed, as if he were chatting with a friend.
"Your Majesty is serious. Just ask Huang Jin to take you there. I have also sorted it out so that Your Majesty will not have to worry about it when you look at it." Yan Song had already prepared it, not to deal with it, although His Majesty usually doesn't leave.
It's a bit confusing, but in most cases it's still pretty reliable.
His Majesty will definitely check these things from time to time. He is not a fool, he just has enough confidence in them, and he cannot betray His Majesty's trust. His job must be done well. Your Majesty does not need to look at it, but these things must
