When she came back this time, she was most afraid that she would be taken hostage, and the Zhu family would use this to blackmail Zhu Hao into doing something that would endanger justice.
But now the Zhu family is in trouble at the birthday banquet, but the old man shows that he has high hopes for Zhu Hao. No matter how you look at it, this trip is worth it, which makes her feel...
There is true love in the world!
"lady……"
Yu San and two others were waiting in front of the carriage outside the side door of Zhuangzi. When they saw Zhu Hao and Lu Song coming out of this door, they couldn't help but rush forward to greet them.
Zhu Niang nodded, not wanting to talk nonsense at the door of Zhu's house.
Just as he was about to get on the carriage, a voice came from behind: "Sister-in-law, please stay."
The one who chased him out turned out to be Zhu Wanquan.
Lu Song looked at Zhu Hao and wanted to try to find out from Zhu Hao the purpose of chasing Zhu Wanquan out. Zhu Hao smiled and said to Lu Song: "Lu Dianzhan, you go to the main entrance first and call the carriage over. My mother and I will
, say a few words to Fourth Uncle, and then I will go back to the palace with you."
"Um."
Lu Song knew that this was a family matter, and even if it might involve the palace, he wanted to listen in. But the problem was that they wouldn't talk about it even if you were standing there.
It's better to do business first, Zhu Hao might make it clear to him later.
Lu Song left with the people, and Yu San and others also consciously drove the carriage for a distance.
Seeing this, Zhu Wanquan came to Zhu Niang and her son, "Third sister-in-law, it's like this... Mom has something to tell me."
Zhu Wanquan had a troubled look on his face. It was obvious that he, the younger brother of the Zhu family, did not really agree with the Zhu family's attitude towards Sanfang, but he had to say it out of filial piety.
Zhu Niang said: "But it doesn't matter."
Zhu Wanquan glanced at Zhu Hao: "What mother means is... the palace supports my nephew to take the imperial examination, but it wants him to leave. It's not because of how good his knowledge is, but to send Xiao Hao away early... Mother
I mean, since my nephew stays in the palace and has the opportunity to work for the Zhu family, he cannot leave easily."
Zhu Niang bit her lower lip: "But my son's participation in the county examination next year was decided by King Xing himself... Who are we to refuse?"
"Go for it."
Zhu Wanquan glanced at Lu Song and his entourage who were driving here in the distance, and said in a low voice, "If it doesn't work, try to find someone to replace my nephew's position as a companion in the palace... If the third sister-in-law is sincere for my nephew
If it's good, why don't you come back to Zhuangzi when you have time and have a long-term discussion with my mother."
"Um."
Zhu Niang nodded without comment.
Zhu Wanquan smiled and cupped his hands, turned around and went back to the side door.
…
…
"Mom, you don't really believe what my fourth uncle says, do you?"
Seeing that Zhu Niang was a little distracted, Zhu Hao asked in a low voice.
Zhu Niang whispered: "Mom is not that stupid...the family has been separated and singled out. Your grandmother made it clear that you cannot inherit your father's position as a royal guard. Why do you still listen to the Zhu family's advice?"
Zhu Hao almost gave me a thumbs up.
Finally got the idea.
As a woman, after experiencing so much in the storm, she finally understood the situation clearly.
If the Zhu family tries to use coercion or inducement, or if Xiao uses righteousness to deceive, Mother Zhu, who has always been down-to-earth, will not believe it anymore, not to mention that she has Zhu Hao, a strategist who knows everything about everything big and small, next to her?
"By the way, Mom, I see that my grandfather's health is not very good... My idea is to go back and make a wheelchair for my grandfather so that he can freely move around, which will help his recovery."
Zhu Hao suddenly came up with an idea: What is the ******* chair?"
Zhu Niang looked confused.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "It's just a thing that can walk with your hands. You usually sit on it, but compared to lying on a sliding pole, you have much more freedom... It's like a chair with wheels... Wait until I make it.
Got it. Mom, I'm going back to the palace with Lu Dianzhan, just remember not to be deceived by the Zhu family again... I'm leaving first."
Zhu Niang saw Lu Song and his entourage waiting by the official road in front, preparing to escort her son back to the city, which showed that the palace was very concerned about Zhu Hao's safety.
This time it was not just to give gifts, but also to protect the mother and son from leaving the Zhu family safely.
The Zhu family was originally a family, but it posed a huge threat to the safety of mother and son. Prince Xing's Mansion, which was supposed to be an enemy, always protected the interests of mother and son...
Even Zhu Niang, who always believed that loyalty and filial piety were the most important thing, could feel the good and evil contained in it, and she became more determined in her heart to let her son study hard in the palace and just follow the palace's arrangements.
…
…
Zhu Hao was lying in the carriage carriage, feeling a little depressed.
Lu Song was sitting next to the driver. There was originally a curtain between the two of them, but at this time the curtain had been rolled up, so they could talk directly.
Lu Song asked: "Zhu Hao, what did your fourth uncle say to you?"
This is the issue he is most concerned about, and he must report it truthfully when he returns.
Zhu Hao sighed: "My fourth uncle brought me instructions from my grandmother, saying that the palace encouraged me to take the imperial examination next year. He didn't want me to stay in the palace at all, so he just found any excuse to send me away!"
"It's really a villain's heart that saves you..."
Before he finished his sentence, Lu Song paused, perhaps considering that the Zhu family was also Zhu Hao's family after all, so it would not be good to accuse him in front of his children.
But Zhu Hao could understand whether he said the second half of the sentence or not.
"They also wanted my mother to go back to Zhuangzi to discuss countermeasures with them... But my mother said that we have already separated and had separate families. I won't even inherit my father's position of Jinyiwei Baihu, so why should I continue to obey Zhu
At the mercy of my family? Besides, my goal is to take the imperial examination, not to be a rough warrior for the rest of my life under the name of a military household. With my small body... I can't join the army. "
Zhu Hao said calmly.
Lu Song turned around and glared at Zhu Hao. He was from a military household, so of course he wouldn't think anything bad about Wu Fu.
But think carefully about the truth behind Zhu Hao's words. These days, who can be a military householder if you can pass the imperial examination and become a civil servant? Not to mention the low social status, what you do is still hard work, and it is passed down from generation to generation. There is no way
Escape.
Let's just say that he, Lu Song, obviously served in Prince Xing's Mansion and had a bright future, but because of his status as a hereditary royal guard, he was threatened one after another and suffered terribly.
"I didn't expect that your uncle didn't come back."
Lu Song suddenly said something again.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "My uncle Shenlong has never seen the end. I don't know what he is thinking about all day long... Lu Dianzhan, you don't have to regard him as your close enemy. He has no one under his command, so he can't accomplish great things."
When Lu Song heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Zhu Hao.
In the past, when he heard similar words, he would only think that Zhu Hao was excusing the Zhu family.
Now he knew that Zhu Hao had no reason to speak for the Zhu family, which only meant that Zhu Hao really felt that Zhu Wanhong would not pose much of a threat to Prince Xing's palace.
"But after all, he has attempted to murder Prince Xing's Mansion before..."
Lu Song was very worried about this.
If Zhu Wanhong had learned from Lin Baihu earlier that he was the secret agent of Lu Song Jinyiwei, he might have used him to do something to harm Prince Xing and his son. If the previous organization and planning to attack Prince Xing's Mansion were not considered enemies, then what?
Zhu Hao looked enigmatic: "How did Lu Dianzhan know that the news leaked before the Jinyiwei operation was not deliberately released by him? With his ability to hide in the city now, do you think if he really wanted to do something with Prince Xing's Mansion?
How could the enemy reveal so many flaws in their last operation? It can be said to be full of mistakes!"
Lu Song thought about it, yes.
Zhu Wanhong was in Anluzhou City this time. If he hadn't taken the initiative to show up, the palace's intelligence system would not have been able to find out the slightest information at all. It is simply unbelievable that he could still walk in Jiaofangsi, wine shops and other places without incident.
And last time...
Although there were a lot of people that time and it was easy for rumors to leak out, the level of service was...
I'm really sorry for Jin Yiwei's reputation.
Last time, it was like Zhu Wanhong deliberately exposed a flaw and waited for Lu Song to catch him, so that the palace would be more vigilant. Then after the palace tightened its guard, the Jin Yiwei withdrew without doing anything...
gone?
By the way, he just left without a sound!
That time, the palace really didn't do much. You said that the palace's heightened alert had the effect of paralyzing the enemy, but after the enemy realized that it couldn't succeed, did the enemy really give up so easily?
Lu Song said: "You mean...your uncle and the Zhu family have different positions?"
Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head: "What position can the Zhu family have? They were sent to Anlu during the late emperor's time and settled here for more than twenty years. Will they gain more than they lose?
"My uncle was captured by the imperial court and used as a hostage for several years. You said that Jinyiwei assigned the Zhu family to do things, why do you need a hostage? Isn't it just to blackmail the Zhu family?
"The Zhu family's meritorious service in Anlu is nothing more than that... Perhaps only my grandmother would think that it would be possible to return to the capital and revitalize the Zhu family by serving the imperial court."
Lu Song nodded: "I think your grandfather...Zhu Lao Qianhu...seems to be a sensible person."
Zhu Hao looked at Lu Song curiously.
My grandfather can't even stand up, and his words are not coherent. With just a few glances, you can tell that he is a "understanding person"?
I think the smartest person is you, Lu Song.
If my grandfather is really so simple that people can see through it at a glance, then he is too cowardly to be a member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu. Don’t you know that he might be acting?
Even my grandson, who has been "favored" by him, dare not make a conclusion about his behavior!
"Zhu Hao, if you study hard in the palace, I think you will be responsible for revitalizing the Zhu family in the future."
Lu Song suddenly had high hopes for Zhu Hao, "Even if Prince Xing's Palace cannot produce a real dragon in the future, at least you can pass the imperial examination and embark on an official career. Prince Xing's Palace can help you behind the scenes."
Zhu Hao smiled, but didn't say anything if he had an idea.
Expecting to become famous all over the world in one fell swoop through the imperial examination is, after all, a road full of thorns. It does not mean that you are talented or have good writing skills that will make you successful in the imperial examination.
The examiner's subjective judgment is very important.
The quality of the examiners is uneven, plus Zhu Hao comes from a military background and is young...there are many disadvantages!
In addition, he is unruly and has a small idea of changing the times, which will naturally make him have a kind of ambition in his articles. Perhaps in the eyes of an enlightened person like Tang Yin, this is an advantage, but in the imperial examination, it may become
