Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth loving father and defeated son
With the official endorsement, even if the Confucian scholars were dissatisfied, they could only temporarily suppress their anger.
These scholars have always been willing to take the hard and not the soft. If you don't leave when a big stick is placed in front of you, will the government really laugh at you?
It's not like everyone is a student member or a civil servant, or they don't have any honors. Those who do are afraid that they will be punished if they come out to take the lead. After all, all the scholars from the Prefectural Confucian Educational Office have come out to testify for Zhu Hao. How about you?
What do you want?
This was considered as allowing all the Confucian students to get off the stairs, and finally the crowd dispersed.
But when we left, many people were still unconvinced and clamored to go back and have a good test of knowledge with Zhu Hao.
Tang Yin sat in the tea shop for more than an hour and finally waited for Fan Yikuan.
Fan Yikuan told Tang Yin that the matter had been resolved, and the two returned to the palace together. Fan Yikuan was a little tired after a busy day. After entering the gate of the palace, he said goodbye to Tang Yin and returned to his residence to rest.
Fan Yikuan now also lives in the east courtyard of the palace, living next to Tang Yin. The front door is facing the "storage yard" where Zhu Hao lived before. The house has been rebuilt after the fire, but in the minds of the old people of the palace, these houses in the east courtyard are
The feng shui was worrying, especially as there was still a lot of mystery about how the fire started, and because people had died, everyone stayed away.
But Zi Fuyu has strange powers and chaos. You, Fan Yikuan, didn't know about it when you first entered the palace. Now that you know it, you can't say that you're afraid of ghosts and want to find another place, right?
Tang Yin went directly to the West Courtyard to find Zhu Hao, because Yuan Zonggao here said that after the matter was resolved, Tang Yin would take Zhu Hao to see Prince Xing and accept Prince Xing's praise in person. Of course, Zhu Hao also had to thank Prince Xing's palace for his cultivation...
"Zhu Hao, you must be modest. I know that most of your knowledge comes from the teachings of famous teachers outside the palace, but if the palace had not given you the opportunity to study and helped you remove obstacles to participate in the county examination, I am afraid that you would not even be able to pursue fame.
No chance."
When Tang Yin took Zhu Hao to the inner courtyard, he kept talking.
Zhu Hao nodded: "I understand."
Tang Yin glanced at him sideways, as if to say, do you really know? Don't hold back your bad feelings again and prepare to go back to deal with Prince Xing's Mansion?
"Zhu Hao, are you worried that during this meeting, His Highness Prince Xing will take the opportunity to drive you away and you will no longer be able to stay in the palace?" Tang Yin asked tentatively.
Zhu Hao looked forward, looking a little indifferent: "Is there any difference?"
Tang Yin was startled.
If Zhu Hao was just a nine-year-old boy back then and wanted to continue studying after leaving the palace, his choices would have been very narrow and he would have been easily targeted by the Zhu family.
But now that Zhu Hao has passed the county examination, is there a big difference whether he stays in the palace or not?
Could it be that Zhu Hao expected the prince's tutors, such as Tang Yin, Fan Yikuan, Yuan Zonggao and others to guide him?
In the past, there was no shortage of teachers, only a reason to study. Now that Zhu Hao has passed the county examination, he has nothing missing. It doesn't matter where he studies, it seems that he will still be restricted if he stays in the palace.
"Then Zhu Hao, let me ask you, do you think the examiner was biased towards you in this county examination because you were studying in Prince Xing's Mansion?" Tang Yin suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hao glanced sideways at Tang Yin: "Did you find anything?"
"Huh? Why...why do you ask that?"
Tang Yin tried his best to look invisible.
Zhu Haodao: "Others don't know anything about my talents and learning. Mr. Tang should know it very well. Whether it's biased or not, my knowledge is just like that. Mr. Tang went to the Confucian Academy and asked this after he came back. Could it be that Mr. Tang
Saw an article in the Confucian Academy that was better than mine? Or... discovered that Yuan Rulin's article was not very well written, but its ranking was very high..."
"Okay, you don't need to say anything."
Tang Yin found that Zhu Hao's mind was beyond his own reach. Just by asking a question, Zhu Hao could guess so much and even gave the reason. He could no longer be described as a monster.
His understanding of human nature has reached a state of perfection.
Boy, how about you ascend in the daytime?
"When you see Prince Xing, be careful what you say, and show more piety and gratitude. That's all I can say to you..." Tang Yin gave up some unrealistic ideas and An Xin acted as a guide.
…
…
Outside the study room of Prince Xing's Mansion.
Zhang Zuo was waiting at the door with a smile on his face. Zhu San, Zhu Si and Lu Bing were also there. They probably heard that Zhu Hao had passed the county examination and came to join in the fun.
Zhu Hao probably guessed that since King Xing took the initiative to meet Zhu Hao, he naturally wanted Zhu Hao to set an example, and of course his son would be called over to receive education.
"Zhu Hao, I heard that you got first place in the county examination, so you are almost a student member. You are really awesome."
Zhu Si came over and took Zhu Hao's arm, his eyes full of admiration.
Children of the same age.
I am still studying the chapters and sentences of the Four Books assiduously. I have already taken the imperial examination, won the first prize in the county examination, and will soon become a student member.
Enough to make Zhu Si look up to him.
Zhu San smiled and said: "That's because Mr. Tang taught well... But with the same teacher, why can't Xiao Jingzi do it well? Is there anything fishy in it?"
After saying that, she looked at Tang Yin with a smile, using her usual venomous tongue, but her behavior had a great impact on Gongsun Yi, and on Tang Yin...
No harm at all!
"Master Zhu...ah, no, I should call you Master Zhu. You are truly a talented person, extraordinary. Whether the palace can produce a champion in the future depends on you..."
Zhang Zuo came over, his face full of compliments.
Zhu Hao was about to become a student, and at his age, his future was destined to be bright. Zhang Zuo had always been proud of himself, but he still had to bow to the scholar when he saw him. This was a reflection of his social status.
Of course, Zhang Zuo's compliment was mostly because the two of them were too familiar with each other, and he had the same idea as Lu Song, hoping to get some light from Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao quickly returned the gift: "Zhang Fengzheng is so polite. I will learn more from you in the future."
Zhang Zuo waved his hand: "What is there in our family that is worth learning from? Our family's knowledge is vulgar and not worth mentioning. But the Mr. Tang in front of you is the great sage of the world. Just learn more from him in the future."
After saying that, he led the way, led Tang Yin and Zhu Hao inside, and greeted Zhu Si by the way: "His Royal Highness, the prince has asked you to go in with him."
…
…
In the study room.
Zhu Youjia's eyebrows relaxed, with a happy look on his face. He praised Zhu Hao in front of his son.
He did not ask Zhu Hao to leave the palace at all, but instead asked Zhu Hao to educate himself on the prince's knowledge.
"Your Majesty, you should learn more from Zhu Hao in the future. Look at other people who are the same age as you and started school later than you. With the same teacher, they can pass the county examination in one fell swoop. You should follow his example and work hard to improve yourself.
,do you know?"
While he was happy, King Xing gave his son some instructions with a straight face.
Zhu Si hurriedly said: "My child knows."
As he spoke, he snickered and glanced at Zhu Hao, as if to say, I just want to mess with my dad, and we can play together from now on. Don't stare at me all the time to study, I can't stand it.
Zhu Youjia smiled and said: "Zhu Hao has become a talented young man, thanks to Mr. Tang's cultivation. In the future, Mr. Tang will also take care of school affairs... By the way, Zhang Fengzheng, why didn't Yuan Changshi and Mr. Fan come over?"
Zhu Hao also felt strange.
It was obviously Yuan Zonggao who asked Zhu Hao to come to visit King Xing, but he did not come. Zhang Zuo, who was Yuan Zonggao's rival, was waiting here.
Zhang Zuo's expression condensed: "It is said that the local government has important matters to discuss... The state government sent people to say that bandits in the surrounding counties of Anlu are becoming increasingly rampant. It is said that these bandits have spread the word and want to attack Anlu and rob Prince Xing's palace.
The farm property has simply eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, so Yuan Changshi went to deal with it."
"Oh I got it."
Zhu Youjia nodded, not paying attention to these "little things", and said with a smile, "Yuan Changshi has a good vision. He found a child with outstanding talents like Zhu Hao to be a companion in the palace. If Zhu Hao makes further progress in the imperial examination in the future, then
It proves that the teachers in the palace are the best in Anlu and even Huguang, so I can rest assured about the cultivation of the prince."
Tang Yin saw Zhu Youjia's happy face, as if he saw his own child making progress, and he admired Zhu Youjia's broad-mindedness.
Previously, I was asking Zhu Hao if he was worried that Prince Xing’s Mansion would take the opportunity to send him away. It seemed that he was overly worried.
But Zhu Hao knew very well that outsiders, especially people like the Zhu family who were wallowing in fame and fortune, would think that Prince Xing's Mansion was like other princes and princes, staging all kinds of intrigues and trying their best to eliminate all unstable factors. But in fact, Prince Xing's Mansion
He always treated others with kindness and kept his words and deeds consistent, so that there were very few dirty things in the royal palace.
Even the conflicts between Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo were not superficial. They were more of a private rivalry with a hint of competition.
Zhu Hao pondered in his mind, how could such a kind father teach the weird Jiajing Emperor in history? Is it just because his father died early and lacked restraint?
Or is it a loving father and a loving mother with many failed children?
"Zhu Hao, you haven't gone home yet, why don't you inform your family about the good news?" Zhu Youjia suddenly asked.
Zhu Hao nodded: "I haven't returned home yet."
Zhu Youjia pointed at Zhang Zuo: "Zhang Fengzheng, send some condolences to the Zhu family for me, so that Zhu Hao can go back in glory... In the Zhongyi family, the children are so outstanding, it is really enviable. Prince, you must make progress.
ah."
Zhu Si hurriedly said: "I know, father."
After saying that, he grinned, and when father and son looked at each other, they were overflowing with deep affection.
…
…
After leaving the study room of the palace, Tang Yinben went back and forth to his residence. After all, he had an appointment with Jiang Lun, Lu Song and Fan Yikuan for a drink in the evening. However, when he saw Zhu Hao walking towards the west without looking back, he quickly chased after him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Where?"
Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Tang is really a noble man who forgets things. Didn't King Xing say before that I can go home? After passing the county examination, why don't I go home to celebrate?"
Tang Yin originally wanted to say, even if you don't go back, your family will definitely know the good news that you successfully passed the county examination, so why not go drinking with me and give you some "tips" at the wine table.
But the reasons given by Zhu Hao are also very sufficient.
After finally passing the county examination, it is only natural for people to go home and celebrate.
"Zhu Hao, you have to work harder in the future. Don't think that if you pass the county examination, you will definitely get the title of student member... Even if you get it, whether you can take the provincial examination depends on whether you can pass the scientific examination and get admitted.
At that time, your competitors will be many students in Anlu Prefecture. Their talents and learning are much better than those you encountered during the county examination. You..."
Tang Yin originally wanted to instill a sense of crisis in Zhu Hao, so that Zhu Hao could cultivate his mind and study with peace of mind, and prepare for the government examination, the college examination, and even the year-end, two-year subject examination and the most important provincial examination.
But Zhu Hao looked relaxed and indifferent: "I will definitely work hard, but not today... I would like to thank Mr. Tang for his cultivation and leave."
