The children in Wangfu still attend classes as normal and have more time to play after class, but for Zhu Hao, life is still monotonous and boring.
Tang Yin gave Zhu Hao more and more questions on the Four Books and Five Classics, as if he was trying to suppress Zhu Hao's playfulness with heavy homework. However, Zhu Hao still finished school early every day and could always complete the homework assigned by Tang Yin.
After school, I will not use my spare time to study for homework.
For example, among the students in the same class, Lu Bing was promoted from elementary school to elementary school, Zhu San was promoted to elementary school, Zhu Si was promoted to junior high school, and Jinghong was a junior high school student. However, Zhu Hao, a postdoctoral fellow, was studying in the same class... Such a comparison
, it was so strong that even Tang Yin asked himself that he could not suppress Zhu Hao.
Anyway, the title was just an excerpt from the Four Books and Five Classics, and the article written by Zhu Hao made Tang Yin feel inferior most of the time after reading it.
Jieyuan, a dignified Ming Dynasty talent who once took the Nanzhili Provincial Examination, deeply felt God's malice in front of Zhu Hao.
This guy is so awesome, don't let me know him.
Even if this kid becomes famous in the future and becomes a court official at a young age, no one will praise his knowledge... He will still be restricted by his qualifications, background, etc. in the officialdom, and it will be difficult for him to stand out. If I don't contact him
, I only heard about such a child prodigy, and I just thought it was someone deliberately creating auspiciousness to cater to their superiors, and would not take it seriously...
But now.
Isn't this torture?
No, I have to work hard too!
Otherwise, wouldn’t we be falling behind the younger generations?
But the problem is, I’m a lot older, what’s the point of working hard?
How many children should be taught in the palace, and what kind of effort is needed?
No matter how hard you work, you will never be qualified to take the Jinshi exam!
That's all, I'd better drown my sorrows in wine!
The envoys who came to the capital this time to deliver telescopes and gifts to the emperor for the Millennium Festival were Luo Sheng, the royal guard's deputy, and Luo An, his father and son. Jiang Lun and Lu Song, two of his usual drinking buddies, were not there, so Tang Yin could always drink.
Find a partner.
Gongsun Yi has been working as a teaching assistant in the palace recently. Even if he is absent sometimes, Tang Yin will ask Zhu Hao to take over, so he doesn't have to work so hard.
Every time King Xing came to Zhu Si to take an examination of the school and inquire about his academic progress, Zhu Si always answered fluently, which also reassured King Xing that he could leave his children to Tang Yin and Gongsun Yi, and he had not thought of looking for another husband for the time being.
If it were in the first half of the year, Zhu Youzhao would have sent people to find a new husband if he didn't know that Zhu Houzhao's concubine was falsely pregnant. But now, in this situation, Prince Xing's Mansion has become the land of Wolong again, and Prince Xing himself is not up to par, and there is no third son.
The second son would not dare to recruit outsiders into the palace.
…
…
One day in mid-August at noon.
Zhu San and Zhu Si both went to the inner courtyard to eat and take a nap, while Tang Yin stayed in the west courtyard to inspect the study progress of Jinghong and Zhu Hao.
At this time, Lu Song hurriedly came to inform that King Xing had invited Tang Yin to go to the inner court to discuss matters.
"You should go about your own business first, I'll go first." Tang Yin was about to leave.
Zhu Hao originally thought that Tang Yin was looking for trouble, but he always liked to "pester" him recently, so much so that he would be questioned by Tang Yin whenever he wanted to go to the palace. Just when he thought he was happy to see off the plague god, Lu Song looked over: "Xing
The king invites Master Zhu to come with him."
Tang Yin was startled.
Is there any news from the imperial court?
The emperor is very satisfied with the telescope sent by Prince Xing's Mansion, and plans to make a few more? Or the corruption of telescope funds was exposed before, and we need to discuss countermeasures together?
"Let's go."
Tang Yin couldn't refuse. King Xing approached Zhu Hao because he regarded Zhu Hao as a member of the palace. As a staff member of the palace, he couldn't object, right?
Next to him, Jinghong's face didn't look very good.
He is also a student in the palace, but he is actually a few months older than Zhu Hao. He is not as good as him in academics. Now he will go to Zhu Hao to discuss important matters in the palace. He seems to regard Zhu Hao as a confidant, and he...
It's really irritating to see people compare to each other.
…
…
On the way to the inner courtyard of the palace, three old acquaintances, Lu Song, Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, were walking together.
Tang Yin thought for a while and realized that this time King Xing was a temporary recruiter. Zhu Hao had never left the palace, so he thought he had no time to discuss with anyone, so he asked like a scholar: "Zhu Hao, tell me, King Xing came to us this time."
Why go?"
Even Lu Song looked over.
Lu Song wanted to know what kind of medicine Zhu Youji sold in his gourd. He just asked Tang Yin to discuss the matter, but he also called Zhu Hao together?
Just when Tang Yin thought that Zhu Hao would say it was related to the telescope, Zhu Hao said: "I guess it may be related to learning."
"hehe."
Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh.
This is too ridiculous.
Is it related to academic matters?
Isn’t this a mistake?
Lu Song said: "Master Zhu, why do you think so?"
Zhu Hao tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, then said: "It's just a feeling. I know that Mr. Lu and Lu Dianzhan are both thinking about the telescope, but the problem is that the telescope will be deliberately concealed by the court.
Once you get it, but haven’t used it in actual combat, it’s impossible for the imperial court to allocate money to make the next batch... then it can only be related to the palace’s personnel issues and academic matters.”
Now even Tang Yin became interested: "Are you so sure?"
Zhu Hao pursed his lips: "Otherwise, why did you ask me to go? I usually study with the Crown Prince in the West Courtyard, so it must be something related to the West Courtyard that would ask me to go."
Lu Song said: "Can you be more specific?"
Tang Yin and Lu Song were playing table tennis. They were talking to each other, but the target was Zhu Hao, as if they wanted to torture Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao said angrily: "What are you doing? I was also called to the inner courtyard of the palace temporarily. I have nothing to do recently. You ask me, who should I ask? Do you really think that I am magical and can do everything?
Is it possible to predict the future?"
This really made Zhu Hao angry.
Tang Yin looked at Lu Song and found that Lu Song was looking over, their eyes facing each other, and his face couldn't help but have a bit of bitterness. Perhaps it was because recently when he was drinking, he talked about many incredible things about Zhu Hao, and the drinking friends felt that it was necessary to find out.
After all, then came what seemed like a questioning session.
…
…
Arrive at the Wangfu study room.
Apart from Zhang Zuo, there was no one else in the room, and even Lu Song was the only one in the Royal Guards Department.
Zhu Youqian, who was dressed in regular clothes, held a letter in his hand, his eyes lowered, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhang Zuo smiled and said: "Your Majesty, everyone is here."
Zhu Youjia raised his head and glanced at a few people with a soft expression. He nodded as a greeting and then said: "That's it. I reported to the court before. Currently, there are always vacancies in the chief history department of Prince Xing's palace. I hope the court can invite Zhang
Changshi ended the defense system early, or asked Yuan Changshi to come back from Jiangxi...
"Your Majesty has just replied, saying that he has issued an order to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to find someone to replace Yuan Changshi as Jiangxi envoy. Once the handover is completed, he will return to the palace."
Hearing this, Tang Yin and Lu Song both had an idea in their minds at the same time.
Sure enough, it wasn't related to the telescope. Although Zhu Hao didn't say it too accurately, he still hit the nail on the head regarding the personnel affairs of the palace.
Tang Yin thought to himself: "How did Zhu Hao figure this out from some clues? Yuan Changshi is coming back..."
For Tang Yin, although Yuan Zonggao had the kindness to recommend him to the prince's palace, he still had a sharp eye. As long as he was in Prince Xing's palace, Prince Xing would never treat him as his number one aide and confidant, and he suddenly felt that something was about to happen.
The loss of favor.
Tang Yin asked: "Does Prince Xing have other matters?"
He thought to himself, since it has something to do with Yuan Zonggao's upcoming return to Anlu, it can't be just this one thing, right? Otherwise, what's the point of looking for Zhu Hao? Telescope, telescope, telescope...
In order to prove that Zhu Hao's speculation was wrong, Tang Yin only hoped that Zhu Youji could tell him something that Zhu Hao thought was impossible, so that Tang Yin could feel a little more balanced. This would make him feel that Zhu Hao was nothing more than that, and then his inner feelings
The frustration is not that strong.
Zhu Youjiao smiled and said: "That's right, the prince has made great progress in his studies recently. I have given many surprise assessments in private, and he can answer them fluently. I hope Mr. Tang can do what he did to Zhu Hao... and start teaching the prince to write the Four Books.
Wen, if he doesn’t understand something, he can also ask Zhu Hao for advice in his spare time..."
The other half was cut by Zhu Hao.
Zhang Zuo added with a smile: "Your Majesty hopes that his children will become successful, Mr. Lu, don't mind. Sometimes, even if the children are encouraged to grow up, they don't want to lag behind others."
What this means is that you, Tang Yin, usually teach two kinds of classes in the classroom. While teaching a few children the basic content of the Four Books and Five Classics, you are training Zhu Hao for the imperial examination. What do you want me, a father, to think?
The king asked Zhu Hao and Jinghong to come to the palace to be my son's companions. As a result, the two children's learning ability is better than my son's, and their academic progress is greater. Even if you encourage them, you can't make the prince look backward.
There are too many people.
"yes."
Tang Yin could only answer like this.
"in addition."
Zhu Youjia looked at Lu Song, his eyes full of approval, "The autumn weather has been refreshing recently. I am going to let the prince go out to the city with a few children to have some fun. It will increase his knowledge. Lu Dianzhan started to arrange the honor guard and guards. If there are any in the city,
If there is any trouble, report it in the morning."
Zhu Youji loved his son very much.
He was usually strict, but he felt that he had treated his son badly by always locking him up in the palace, so he wanted Zhu Si to go on an autumn outing with some classmates.
After all, in the autumn of the first year, the children went out to play together. After returning to the palace, Zhu San and Zhu Si could not forget it.
Traveling again this year has become a regular program in the palace.
When you come to Lu Song, you also value that he can find out in advance that Jin Yiwei has an action against Prince Xing's Mansion in Anlu. This means that you, Lu Song, first go through the network in advance and go to the city to check to see if Jin Yiwei has any new movements, or whether
Is there anyone who is unfavorable to the palace?
If not, we will arrange for the crown prince to have an autumn outing in the palace, and even leave the security to you.
You did a great job in last year's autumn outing.
"Got the order!"
Lu Song's answer was much more straightforward than Tang Yin's.
Zhu Youqian finally laid his eyes on Zhu Hao with soft eyes: "Zhu Hao, I heard that you have made rapid progress in your studies recently. Mr. Tang and Zhang Fengzheng always praise you in front of me. This is what I think. In the spring of next year, the local county
If you can pass the county examination in one fell swoop, it will also be an invisible spur to the prince. Then he will be more open-minded to seek advice from you."
