Yuan Zonggao brought his own wine and food to the door, nominally to reminisce with Tang Yin, but in fact it was just to test the authenticity and use his experience and words to judge whether the person in front of him was really Tang Yin and not just someone Zhu Hao found to pretend to be.
As a disciple, Zhu Hao was not qualified to serve, but Yuan Zonggao did not drive him out of the hospital.
After getting along for a while, Zhu Hao discovered that Tang Yin was just that. He should not be overestimated just because of his historical reputation. He had his own joys, sorrows, and shortcomings just like ordinary people. But if you want to prove your identity in front of others, it is important for you to prove your identity in front of others.
For Tang Yin, it was not difficult at all.
With his knowledge of poetry, painting and knowledge, Yuan Zonggao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and finally confirmed that the Tang Yin in front of him was not a fake.
"Bohu, it is not a long-term solution for you to live in seclusion in this small village. Why don't I give you a suggestion and go to Prince Xing's Mansion... That's it. The imperial court intends to transfer me to work elsewhere. Prince Xing's Mansion is in urgent need of you, Bohu.
Such a talented person joins the team to assist King Xing with machine maintenance, and also provides guidance to the crown prince in his studies."
Tang Yin was shocked by Yuan Zonggao's words.
I thought that the other party was just here to recruit me to teach in the palace, but they knew that he was very capable and were worried that he would not be able to get a teaching position, so they simply recruited him as a staff member. Moreover, Yuan Zonggao had the intention of entrusting the affairs of the palace to him.
The position of chief historian was appointed by the imperial court and could not be awarded privately. However, Tang Yin could be entrusted with certain specific matters. Yuan Zonggao seemed to be saying that once he left, Tang Bohu could participate in the decision-making of the palace and make suggestions.
Tang Yin sighed: "How can I be virtuous and capable of being born late? I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed..."
Yuan Zonggao smiled and said: "Bohu, there is no need to underestimate yourself. With your understanding of the world's situation, assisting King Xing is actually overkill and underutilized."
Tang Yin was startled.
We just discussed poetry, painting and knowledge. It seems that we haven’t deepened our understanding of the overall situation of the world, right? How do you know that I am also an expert in this area?
At that moment, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Zhu Hao, who was watching the excitement nearby.
"Bohu, I'm not hiding anything from you. There is a message from the court saying that one of your Majesty's concubines is pregnant with a dragon seed. In the future, Prince Xing's Mansion will no longer be the target of public criticism... You can rest assured and stay in the Prince's Mansion to work."
The news about Yuan Zonggao was sudden.
Zhu Hao was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. Based on his understanding of history, when did Zhu Houzhao have children? Could it be that his appearance created a butterfly effect?
If Zhu Houzhao was really fertile, and the long sixteen years of hard work as an emperor had no effect in history, he would have successfully sown the seeds with this one?
Zhu Hao immediately remembered what happened in history. Zhu Houzhao wanted to marry a pregnant woman back to the palace and falsely claim the son she gave birth to as his own. Isn't this what is happening in the palace now?
Zhu Hao started to have random thoughts.
The reason why Yuan Zonggao told the truth about this news was actually to completely dispel Tang Yin's concerns. He was afraid that Tang Yin would be under pressure from Prince Xing's Mansion because this was the hidden residence of Wolong, so that he could put down his burden and work for Prince Xing's Mansion wholeheartedly.
Tang Yin said: "Actually, I came to Anlu late in life because I had a predestined relationship with Zhu Hao. After that, I could safely teach him knowledge and help him achieve great results in the examination room. This can also be considered as a support for him in his later years."
Zhu Hao thought to himself, fortunately this old boy has not forgotten me.
Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "That's okay. Zhu Hao has been studying in the palace for half a year and has a close relationship with the prince and the princess. He once went into the sea of fire alone to save the prince from danger. He really deserves to be a loyal and good man... This is not what the prince intends to do.
Recruiting me as a companion, in addition to accompanying the growth of the prince and the princess, I can also continue to serve you, Bohu. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Tang Yin took a breath after hearing this.
Good guy, Zhu Hao was really not a braggart on the ship before. He actually worked as a companion in the palace for half a year, rescued people from fires, and was listed in front of big bosses like Yuan Zonggao. It seems that he underestimated this guy.
Awesome.
"in this way……"
Tang Yin hesitated a little, nodded and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Yuan Zonggao originally wanted to continue to persuade Tang Yin to accept the recruitment of Prince Xing's Mansion, but without thinking, Tang Yin readily agreed after just a few words!
It seems that Tang Yin appraised the situation, and his vision and strategy were excellent. He was not the kind of crazy man who pretended to be a pure man. He knew that the best place to stay now was Prince Xing's Mansion, or followed Zhu Hao to Anlu just to get into Prince Xing's Mansion.
Right? Otherwise, why would you take the initiative to treat the prince?
At first, Yuan Zonggao felt that Tang Yin acted too deliberately, but after thinking about it carefully, it was within his ability to treat the prince's illness, and both parties took what they needed.
They have not harmed the interests of the palace, so why should they think the worst of them?
Taking a step back, considering Tang Yin's rough experience in the first half of his life, how bad could he be? Wasn't everything just to avoid being pursued by Prince Ning's Mansion and find a place to stay?
…
…
Yuan Zonggao did not expect that the recruitment would go so smoothly.
Now that the matter is done, the only thing left is to discuss when to see King Xing, and discuss the treatment in the palace, and then Tang Yin's position in the palace.
Yuan Zonggao did not stay for long before he said goodbye, as if he wanted to rush back early to inform Zhu Youqi of the good news. Before leaving, he told Zhu Youqi: "After Bohu entered the palace, he only gave lessons to the prince occasionally, and he can leave the daily knowledge to him."
If others do it, your opinion will be consulted on everything in the palace, and the palace will never treat you as an outsider."
Tang Yin nodded.
Just from Yuan Zonggao's expression, he couldn't tell whether he joined the palace as a staff member or as a teacher. Maybe this was just a compliment, and after entering, he would just be responsible for the prince's daily homework?
After two days of discussion, Tang Yin would enter Prince Xing's Mansion. The Prince's Mansion would not send anyone to greet him. This was Tang Yin's request, mainly because he was afraid of leaking his whereabouts.
It was agreed that Lu Song would be responsible for the contact, and Tang Yin took Zhu Hao to escort Yuan Zonggao out of the village.
Valley
"Mr. Lu, I would like to say congratulations first. From now on, you will be able to get a good job in Prince Xing's Mansion. You will be guaranteed for the rest of your life. Not only will you be well-off, but at least you will have enough food and clothing." Zhu Hao congratulated with a smile.
Tang Yin rolled his eyes at Zhu Hao: "Now you got your wish, right?"
Zhu Haodao: "Mr. Lu just likes to say that there are some and no such things... What have I achieved? I also heard from Yuan Changshi that your majesty will have a dragon heir soon. No matter what we do in the palace, we can't change the world.
The general trend, and with my current wealth, where can I live without Anlu? Do I have to study in the palace? "
Tang Yin was also very curious and asked: "Then why do you have to go back to Prince Xing's Mansion? Since the Crown Prince is no longer the focus of the government and the public, it will be difficult for you to gain the power of Conglong. Even the Zhu family may not need you to go to the Prince's Mansion to spy on you."
Information?"
"Ha ha."
Zhu Hao said with a smile, "Otherwise, why do you think Prince Xing's Palace would suddenly recruit me back? They are not afraid of me spying on intelligence anymore? It is precisely because my existence is no longer insignificant to Jin Yiwei that the Palace will not be on guard against me... I am here
I will study with Mr. Lu, whom I know well, and take the imperial examination in a few years. This is the most convenient way for me, so why not go back?"
Tang Yin frowned.
He didn't believe Zhu Hao's words.
He felt that Zhu Hao must have learned about the pregnancy of the emperor's concubine in advance, or had some other plans.
In the past, he would not think too complicated about Zhu Hao, but now he has no choice but to think too much. Once he thinks too simply, he will probably be slapped in the face, and then he will look stupid, and everything will be an afterthought.
"Then what are your plans after entering the palace?"
Tang Yin asked as he walked towards the yard where he lived.
Zhu Haodao: "Have I already told you, I will take the imperial examination after studying for a few years, and take care of the family business during this period... Oops, Mr. Lu, why do you look at me like this? Stop thinking so much, just leave me alone
Just treat it like an ordinary child... Why do I find it so difficult to talk to Mr. Lu? After entering Prince Xing's Mansion, I still expect Mr. Lu to give me more advice!"
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid I won't be the one to advise you then, but you will be the one to advise me on some things, right?"
Even he himself realized this.
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, please don't say that. I have always respected teachers. If something happens to the palace in the future, Mr. Lu just don't hide it from me. Let's discuss it together. As the saying goes... three stooges."
Better than Zhuge Liang."
Tang Yin shook his head: "Comparing yourself to Zhuge Kongming? Should I say that you are naive and ignorant, or that you have empty ambition? Anyway, if you can successfully enter the palace, it is part of the plan."
…
…
Xingwangfu.
Yuan Zonggao met King Xing and told him the good news of successfully recruiting Tang Yin. He also said that he would find someone familiar with Tang Yin to verify his identity later, and then went to the school.
Zhu San and Zhu Si came back to class after recovering from illness. They were dozing off in a daze. Gongsun Yi was standing in front of the lecture table, just sorting out his manuscripts, when he saw Yuan Zonggao coming, accompanied by Lu Song.
"Master Yuan?"
After Gongsun Yi saw Yuan Zonggao, he looked flustered and at a loss.
This time he went back to the palace to teach, but he felt it wouldn't last long. He didn't attend classes for a few days in February, and Zhu San and Zhu Si had been sick and absent. They finally resumed classes, but found that he didn't teach. I'm afraid he would have to be expelled on the spot.
?
Zhu San and Zhu Si quickly put up their books and pretended to study seriously.
Yuan Zonggao smiled and said: "I came here this time to inform you that in a few days, a new gentleman will come to the palace."
Gongsun Yixin said that as expected, my good days are over, and his face suddenly fell.
"Mr. Yuan, who is it? Mr. Sui?"
Zhu San's question is very pointed.
It was said before that a new teacher was invited, and then it was said that Sui Gongyan was coming back, but in the end it was Gongsun Yi who came to class, and there were only a few people walking around.
Yuan Zonggao said: "It's Zhu Hao's enlightenment teacher, Mr. Lu."
"Ah!? Great!"
Zhu Si shouted excitedly.
Zhu San asked in confusion: "Isn't that Tang Yin?"
Hearing this title, Gongsun Yi suddenly remembered that Yuan Zonggao had told him personally that Zhu Hao was Tang Yin's disciple. This meant that... the famous Tang Bohu was going to join the palace as a tutor?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that his departure was not unfair.
Tang Yin's disciples can't even compare to me. Now that I'm here, why don't I quickly move out of the pit and give up my position? Why do I still want to occupy the pit and not shit?
Yuan Zonggao said: "It's like this. Mr. Lu went to Jiangxi and caused some trouble. After returning to Anlu with Zhu Hao, he entered the palace to treat the two princes. King Xing discussed with me and recruited him to the palace as a guest.
Guiding you in your homework is just a matter of course. From now on, Mr. Gongsun will still be responsible for your daily homework instruction."
Gongsun Yi was shocked again when he heard this. It turned out he wasn't driving me away.
Life has its ups and downs...it's so exciting, isn't it?
