Chapter 275 Who Believes Who Is Stupid (Seeking Monthly Pass)
The structure is different, and the direction of thinking about things is different.
Tang Yin never thought that one day, he would be persuaded by a child. After thinking about it, what Zhu Hao said was completely reasonable and was the wisdom a person should have.
After he got the answer from Zhu Hao, and when he later met Zhang Zuo or was summoned by King Xing to question him alone, his words became more targeted.
King Xing was happy that the palace had gained a certain prestige in the court. Yuan Zonggao, don't you have this awareness? Or are you simply opposed to Zhang Zuo because you can't deal with him?
When Tang Yin was about to leave, Zhu Hao stood up and reminded: "Mr. Tang, one family's opinions cannot be accurate. The power struggle in this world is not as simple as black and white. Don't be easily swayed by my ideas."
Tang Yin smiled and nodded.
Then left the yard.
Zhu Hao looked at Tang Yin's back and shook his head helplessly: "This old boy seems to be relying more and more on me, so don't become my yes man in the end.
"I know the development of history and know that Zhu Houcong will ascend to the throne one day, so that's why I say this. But if there is a butterfly effect due to my appearance, then I can't tell... Is it necessary to pursue a high profile or a low profile?
It’s more about taking things as they come and waiting to see what happens!”
…
…
The fifth day of February.
The day before the county examination starts.
Zhu Hao is still staying in the palace. He has no plans to go home these days. In name, he wants to stay in the palace to prepare for the exam. In fact, he is afraid that the Zhu family will cause trouble when the exam period is approaching.
Zhu Hao made a special trip to the school building this morning.
Before class, Lu Bing was boxing on the empty dam outside the classroom, Jinghong was sitting under the tree holding a book and reading, and Zhu San and Zhu Si were playing marbles together.
Years later, Lu Bing began to practice martial arts formally.
As the eldest son of the Royal Palace Guards Officer, he will definitely inherit the military position in the family in the future. He will be the prince's playmate while studying in the palace, and if he wants to take the imperial examination in the future, he can only take the military examination.
As for Jinghong...
It seems that I am in a bad mood. The exam period is getting closer and I think of my classmates and friends going to take the imperial examination and I have to be treated like a child...
The frustration and depression in my heart became stronger and stronger.
When everyone saw Zhu Hao coming, they immediately put down everything in their hands, came forward to exchange warm greetings, and then surrounded Zhu Hao into the classroom.
The atmosphere in the classroom has been a bit depressing recently, because Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin have basically not been here these days. Zhu Hao was the star of the class before, and almost everyone surrounded him.
Without Zhu Hao, the children had much less fun on weekdays.
"Are you still interested in coming back?"
Zhu San pouted, but she didn't know and thought there was something going on between her and Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao is away, but Zhu San has become more diligent. He has been coming to class in the past few days, and his tone of voice now... is like a harried woman.
Zhu Si had an eager look on his face: "Zhu Hao, are you going to take the imperial examination tomorrow? What have you been studying these days? Can you show me your book?"
Zhu Haodao: "It's no different from what I usually learn. When writing an article, the most important thing is to deeply understand the topic, arguments, and arguments. The more fully prepared the better... How should I put it, just keep a normal mind."
Jinghong glanced over, and his tone sounded a little resentful: "If you have books to prepare for the exam, you should share them with us. Seeing as you never study hard in front of us, if you can pass the county exam easily...
…I really don’t know what’s going on in your head.”
Zhu San and Zhu Si cannot see Zhu Hao these days, but they can see him every day, of course they can only see him at night...
Zhu Hao didn't go home or go to class, but he basically didn't stay in the dormitory. Jinghong had almost no idea what Zhu Hao was doing outside.
The two children who had entered the palace as study companions were no longer on the same level because Zhu Hao had to take the county examination, which made Jinghong very depressed.
This remark is typical of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Zhu Si does not need to take the imperial examination, Zhu San does not need to take it, Lu Bing... you may take the martial arts examination in the future, only Jinghong you will take the county examination... the county examination will be taken twice every three years, you will have many opportunities in the future
."
Jinghong rolled his eyes: "Does that mean we can't take the exam at the same time? When I take the county exam, you will at least be a member of the student body... By the time I pass the exam, you will already be a member of the Juren Examination, and you may even be a candidate.
Maybe he’s already a Jinshi?”
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhu San smiled happily and said, "Xiao Jingzi, you finally have some consciousness. We have all seen your talent and learning, and that's it. Can you compare with Mr. Zhu?"
"Sister, don't say that..."
Zhu Si quickly went to pull his sister's clothes, feeling that her sister's words were too hurtful.
Zhu San directly shook his brother's hand away.
I don’t even have the chance to study in class. What’s wrong with me here to entertain Jinghong with a few words? If I say I feel unbalanced, who can compare to me? Who can comfort me?
Zhu Hao said: "What Zhu San said is wrong. The imperial examination does not mean that anyone with talent will definitely pass it. The quality of an article is like a play. Different people have different opinions and write extreme articles in the imperial examination.
It's easy to capsize...This time I just took the county exam with a trying mentality, and I may not be able to pass it. Maybe I will take the county exam with Jinghong next time, which is not certain."
Jinghong sat back in his seat and picked up the book listlessly: "Don't comfort me. The teacher said that you will definitely be able to pass, so there will be no problem. I am not a small-minded person. I wish you to pass soon... you can pass again
Just pass on your experience to me."
Looks very free and easy.
But Zhu Hao knew that it might not be that easy to heal Jinghong's psychological trauma.
Zhu Si said with envy: "I must ask my father to take part in the imperial examination to see if what I have learned is good."
Several people looked at Zhu Si with strange eyes.
This was not the first time that Zhu Si expressed his desire to participate in the imperial examination as an ordinary person. Considering his status, he was so yearning for the imperial examination, which is enough to show that King Xing's daily education was effective.
When Zhu Si grows up with outstanding children from ordinary families, he will unconsciously correct his mentality and regard himself as an ordinary person. The fame, wealth and glory he pursues are not much different from ordinary people.
No one would tell Zhu Si that he would be the emperor in the future, and no one would ask and teach him a set of procedures for training a prince. It is commendable for Zhu Si, who is a royal person or even a crown prince, to maintain such a relaxed attitude.
The success of Xingwangfu.
…
…
He was going to take the imperial examination the next day, so Zhu Hao returned to the West Campus in the afternoon to continue studying.
The palace has arranged the examination process. Lu Song will accompany Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin to the Gongyuan in the city early the next morning. Naturally, Zhu Hao will not go home today.
But at this time, Zhu Hao's home received an uninvited guest.
Zhu Wanjian.
"...Let me explain. Mother is considering your son's imperial examination. She feels that it is better for the children from the Jinyiwei family to be more pragmatic. The previous talk about depriving your son of his military position was just an angry talk. Mother said,
The position will be returned to you as the third wife, so that your son will give up his intention to take the imperial examination, and he can just be a military household in the future!"
Zhu Wanjian sounded impatient.
It's a pity that Zhu Niang is no longer the submissive little daughter-in-law she once was. How could she not know what this second brother-in-law is thinking? Isn't it your second wife who covets my husband's position the most? How come you come here to say some righteous words?
Zhu Niang said: "Xiao Hao has been studying literature since he was a child and has never practiced martial arts for a day. His body is a bit thin, so he does not consider joining the army. My late husband's military position... should belong to the Zhu family and will be returned to the Zhu family. We don't want to fight for it."
."
The more the Zhu family wants to give it back, the less she can take it.
She still understands this.
"Hey, you are still stubborn! I see that your boy is growing very fast, but he is as thin as a sorghum pole due to lack of exercise. In this case, mother said, let your son go back to Zhu's house and find someone to train him. He will train for three days in the winter.
Jiuxia practiced Sanfu for seven or eight years. He is definitely a tough guy. He can inherit the position of Jinyiwei Baihu... What's wrong with that?
"Currently at home, there is no child who is practicing martial arts in the first house, and there is no one who is satisfactory to the second house... Maybe in the end, your son will inherit the position of Jin Yiwei Qianhu..."
Zhu Niang felt like vomiting after hearing this.
Is the Zhu family addicted to painting pie cakes for others?
She wanted to ask Zhu Wanjian, do you believe what you said? Our third room is not even qualified to be a "person" in the Zhu family, but you actually plan the future for us?
Whoever believes it is an idiot!
"Xiao Hao's imperial examination is decided by the palace. We have no right to change it. Besides, he has been staying in the palace to prepare for the exam these days and has not come back..."
Zhu Niang's attitude was indifferent.
Zhu Wanjian said: "Then quickly find someone to take him back. Why do you do such useless work? It's still too late to abandon literature and join martial arts while you are still young."
"That's too late!"
Zhu Niang looked like nothing you said was in vain, she didn't want to listen to Zhu Wanjian's nonsense at all.
Zhu Wanjian said angrily: "None of the descendants of the Zhu family are Congwen!"
Zhu Niang sneered: "Xiao Hao, his second uncle, are you kidding me? Don't say that among the next generation of the Zhu family, both the eldest and second brothers have children studying. The eldest child has already passed the child examination. Let's just say that in this generation, middle school
, the fourth uncle is a student..."
Zhu Wanjian was a little speechless.
Why does it feel so difficult to argue with a woman?
"You don't want the third-bedroom position of Jin Yiwei, right? No, we will take the second-bedroom position!" Zhu Wanjian threatened.
Zhu Niang closed her eyes and tilted her head to one side, as if to say, wasn't it taken away a long time ago?
Butler Liu had been listening at the back door. When he saw that the conversation had broken down, he hurriedly came over and said: "Third Madam, regarding the matter of whether the young master should study literature or join martial arts, why don't you go back and discuss it in detail with the old lady? Do you think so?"
?”
Zhu Niang said: "My son will enter the examination room tomorrow. We have never expected him to get any help from the Zhu family in his studies. Don't you even give him a chance to choose his own future? In terms of his studies,
We have never relied on the Zhu family."
"Hey……"
Zhu Wanjian was so angry that he immediately wanted to pick up the sole of his shoe and hit someone.
He was never polite to his mother-in-law at home.
As a result, before he could take action, more than a dozen guards who had been waiting for him immediately surrounded him. Their posture was a warning to Zhu Wanjian that this was not the Zhu family's territory. If you dare to act wild here, you would not be able to get out of the yard.
"Just wait, you are overestimating your ability, and you are still taking the literary test. If you fail, you will be kicked out by Prince Xing's Mansion and become a peddler and a pawn!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Wanjian did not stop and left after issuing threats.
Anyway, he did the errand that the old lady asked him to do. Whether he succeeded or not is another matter.
