Chapter 222 Fragrant Pastry

show_htm2();

Zhu Hao almost slapped Tang Yin in the face with the sole of his shoe. Are you really shameless? Let an eight-year-old child who has only been in elementary school for one year teach a student to prepare for the provincial examination?

How come you, Tang Yin, suddenly thought of saying this?

Although I admit that you recognize my talent and knowledge, you have never thought about whether Gongsun Yi can save face by doing this?

Furthermore, what will the master’s wife think after hearing this?

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yi actually looked at Zhu Hao for help.

Zhu Hao spread his hands and said helplessly: "Mr. Gongsun, I'm just a white guy. You don't really believe what Mr. Lu says, do you?"

Gongsun Yi smiled and said: "Zhu Hao, I already knew how knowledgeable you were, and I always told She Nei that your talents and learning are almost as good as those of the great scholars of the time, so...if you can help me, please give me some advice.

"

Zhu Hao was a little speechless.

Is this considered "not ashamed to ask"?

Or is it that you, Gongsun Yi, are self-aware and have the humility of "when three people are together, one must be my teacher", and you don't even care to say such a thing in front of your own wife?

Zhu Hao observed Mrs. Gongsun's reaction again...

No response at all!

Maybe Mrs. Gongsun thinks that even the famous Tang Yin thinks Zhu Hao can do it, so it should be okay.

Otherwise, why could Zhu Hao serve as a companion in the palace and be admired by so many people? Why does this young man need to ensure that his husband's future and even the food problems of the family need to be ensured by this young man?

"As much as possible, as much as possible."

After a brief silence, Zhu Hao chose a relatively perfunctory way to answer.

You want to ask me for advice? That’s fine!

Unless you ask me to be your husband, I am just perfunctory with you as a courtesy. Don't expect me to cultivate you carefully. You are not my disciple, nor even my classmate and friend. I have no obligation to protect your family.

It's not my obligation to teach you knowledge while eating.





As they approached the city gate, the carriage stopped again.

Gongsun Yi and his wife transferred back to their carriage. At this time, only Zhu Hao and Tang Yin were left in the carriage.

Seeing what Zhu Hao wanted to say, Tang Yin quickly waved his hand: "Don't mention it, don't say it, I don't want to waste any more words with you."

Zhu Hao glanced at the old boy. This guy always talks about "you boy", as if others are ignorant of the world, but you are the one who is really ignorant, right?

You don't want to waste your time with me, as if I rarely talk to you.

"Stop the car, I want to go home."

After the carriage entered the city and walked for a while, Zhu Hao looked out the window and shouted to the carriage driver.

The carriage stopped immediately, and Zhu Hao jumped directly from the side of the carriage. Tang Yin looked over with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

It is a kind of frustration of being inferior to others, accompanied by a kind of absurdity of loneliness in life, or a kind of confusion about future life...

The appearance of Zhu Hao broke Tang Yin's inherent cognition time and time again. At this time, he almost sighed to the sky, "How can Hao be born when Yin is born?" He also felt that his life situation had changed as he got to know Zhu Hao.





Gongsun Yi decided to study hard for the imperial examination, prepared to take part in the provincial examination, and passed the examination in one fell swoop. The royal school once again restored the model of Mr. Yindan of Tang Dynasty.

At the end of August and the beginning of September, life was extremely peaceful and peaceful.

What is not so calm is the border situation.

On this day, Zhu Youji summoned several important officials in the palace to discuss court affairs, and he seemed extremely cautious.

As a staff member, Tang Yin was prominently on the list, and he was standing next to Zhu Youqian's desk. This was the position where the palace chief historian should have stood, and the subordinate officials could only stand aside.

"...Yuan Changshi wrote a letter saying that he has completed the handover of duties and is on his way back to Anlu. It is estimated that he will return to the palace in about ten days."

Zhang Zuo first told everyone present the "good news".

Some are happy and some are sad.

Yuan Zonggao's return means that the already changed structure of the palace may return to its old appearance.

The changes that have occurred in the past six months, whether good or bad, will be disrupted when Yuan Zonggao returns to the palace, and the cards will be reshuffled again.

Tang Yin said nothing.

Although Yuan Zonggao's return had the most direct impact on his status and voice, it was Yuan Zonggao who pushed him to enter the palace. Even if it was to repay Yuan Zonggao's kindness, he had no reason to show loss and nervousness in front of others.

"Furthermore, the two thousand taels of silver used to make telescopes made by the imperial court have been sent to Anlu. The person sent to supervise this matter was supposed to be the director of the Ministry of Industry, but what our family saw was Mr. Li from the imperial supervisor... This time

The person took out a receipt and asked us to sign the receipt for 10,000 taels of silver before we would hand over the 2,000 taels of silver. Our family told him that the amount of silver we had received did not match the imperial decree...

"Mr. Li threatened the palace, and our family sent people to cut off his escape route. He hurriedly led his people to escape. The money has been brought into the palace. However, if he does this, he may become enemies with the traitors in the court."

This is the second news.

Involving the issue of handover of payment for previously built telescopes.

Prince Xing's Mansion made a decision in advance not to suffer any loss in the imperial court's allocation of money, and to help villains like Jiang Bin and Qian Ning take the blame.

Zhang Zuo's description of the situation was a bit general, and did not explain how to scare "Eunuch Li" away. However, it also showed that the traitors in the court wanted to line their own pockets, and at the same time they wanted to accuse Prince Xing of corruption.

The result of Prince Xing's Mansion arguing hard was to have a grudge with Chao Zhongxiao.

Some of the palace officials present were timid and afraid of getting into trouble. From the beginning, they did not support Prince Xing's palace's grudge against the court's sycophants. They all thought that it would be better to do less than to do more. At this moment, they all felt that Prince Xing's palace had caused big trouble.

Zhang Zuodao: "Mr. Lu, why don't you tell me your opinion?"

Tang Yin Zhengse said: "There are traitors and sycophants running rampant in the court. Prince Xing's Mansion needs to stir up the turmoil and promote purity. Only in this way can it win a good reputation among the people and among the people, without losing the true character of Prince Xing's Mansion in safeguarding the justice of the court."

Many people laughed secretly.

You, Tang Yin, are really not afraid of things.

But it seems that you were the one who initially suggested to His Highness Prince Xing that you should do nothing without asking, right? Now you are pretending to be aloof here?

Zhu Youji said: "I have sent someone to ask Yuan Changshi for his opinion. According to his opinion, he greatly praised what the palace has done and believes that it should be so. There should not be compromises and compromises on major issues of right and wrong. In the middle of the court

The traitor already regards the palace as his enemy, so this is not the case."

Originally, all the villains in the court were cultivated by the emperor.

Naturally, they did not want Prince Xing's Mansion to fall to the throne. The suppression of Prince Xing's Mansion was largely due to the instigation and secret stumbling blocks of these people. The emperor himself did not have much interest in Prince Xing's Mansion.

Dian Baozheng Yang Xiu disliked Tang Yin the most. He felt that Tang Yin was stealing the limelight that should belong to him, so he said with a straight face: "Prince Xing, as I said before, I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain."

Zhu Youjia raised his hand to interrupt Yang Xiu's words, meaning that the matter should not be mentioned again.

Zhang Zuo continued: "In addition...an official letter from the Ministry of War was issued to various places, saying that since this year, the little Tatar prince has sent tens of thousands of fine cavalry to attack the border. In mid-August, tens of thousands more troops will be sent to invade Guyuan from Huamachi.

After more than 70 miles of joint camp, our soldiers on three sides could not get out. The Tatars plundered the castle, the border people settled in the fields, and Longzhou, Tao, Min and other places were disturbed.

"In addition, there are Uliangha and other tribes in the north who are cooperating to harass Malan Valley and other places... His Majesty has issued an order to send troops and ordered various places to send additional troops, horses, grain and grass to support various places on the nine sides.

"The palace is also preparing to prepare for a financial and food cooperation. What do you think?"

In the early days of Zhengde, the Tatars invaded the Ming Dynasty's borders almost every year. All nine sides faced the enemy in a defensive posture. When the enemy came, they could not retreat, and when the enemy retreated, they would not pursue them.

But in the middle period of Zhengde, this situation began to change, and the number of Tatar attacks on the border was significantly reduced. All because the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao was a militant, and the generals of the Nine Borders had to rely on military merit to win the favor of the emperor. Therefore, the general took the initiative to attack or

Pursuits happened from time to time, and the Tatar invaders would lose a large number of men every time. Since the gains outweighed the losses, they naturally restrained themselves.

This year, the border situation has become critical again. The emperor will definitely take some action in response. The palace allocates money and food to support, but Tang Yin has no objection.

He was just a staff member, and it was up to King Xing to make his own decision on this matter of "following the subordinates". Asking his subordinates for their opinions was more of a formality, or a question of "how much courtesy should be followed".

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "The prince has decided to donate 2,000 taels of silver to the imperial court to build telescopes. But since the imperial court has allocated funds, these 2,000 taels will now be used as military supplies. My colleagues will not

Opinion?"

Zhang Zuo was a little greedy when it came to supervising the construction of the telescope, but he still had the ability to do things.

"That's fine."

Yang Xiu was the first to express his stance.

Everyone nodded and didn't seem to have much opinion.

Zhang Zuodao said: "In that case, if there is anything else, we will discuss it after Yuan Changshi returns to Anlu. Colleagues, you can't slack off at all. Now the court is in troubled times, and the palace has offended the traitors in the court. I'm afraid someone will secretly attack the palace.

unfavorable."





The palace also wanted to donate money, food and materials to the court.

This matter has nothing to do with Zhu Hao. No one asked him to spit out the money he earned from the telescope business.

But recently, Zhu Hao always feels a little strange when he comes home. Some women who don't look "serious" often come in and out of the house. It is certain that when he comes back one day, he will gather at the door of the house to take a few secret glances, and then they all cover their mouths and snicker.

...and left with full of "malice".

"Mom, who are those people? They look unfamiliar." Zhu Hao asked with a frown.

Zhu Niang shook her head and said nothing to her son. Next to her, Aunt Li spoke: "I don't know what's going on lately, but there are always matchmakers who like to come to the house and insist on marrying you, especially those with eleven or twelve-year-old girls at home.

, there are even aristocratic families, it’s really a ghost!”

Zhu Hao was a little surprised: "Really? I'm a hottie? Are you planning to arrange a marriage for me?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Zhu Niang explained in a low voice: "I don't know who is spreading the news, saying that the imperial court wants to draft girls... Girls over ten years old are selected from all over the country to go to the capital, so that everyone in the city and outside is in danger, and wealthy families

One after another, they chose their sons-in-law to make engagements...

"Xiao Hao, your father is from a royal family and is studying in the palace, so they will pay attention to you. But please relax, mother will not easily agree to the marriage. Your mother will have to be distracted by this and other matters."
