Three hundred and forty-eight chapters inadvertently inserted willows
In the afternoon, Zhu Hao accompanied Tang Yin, Zhang Zuo and others to the city gate to greet Zhang Jingming, the left chief of Prince Xing's palace.
This is a skinny-looking old man with an unattractive appearance, which gives people a feeling of drowsiness that can hardly open his eyes. In the past few years, Zhang Jingming has been strict with the rules and has rarely been exposed to meat and fish. In addition, he is in his sixties and probably has no role in the officialdom.
Such great ambitions and ambitions, so the whole person's energy and spirit are not good.
Unlike Yuan Zonggao who moved his family to Anlu, Zhang Jingming came alone this time. Except for a few domestic servants and the guards who came to greet the escort, he did not take his wife and children with him.
"Zhang Changshi's spirit is no less than that of back then."
Zhang Zuo greeted him warmly, and it was clear at first glance that he had a good relationship with Zhang Jingming.
"This is Chu Yu, a Juren from Liuzhou, Guangxi, who served as an eunuch for two times." Zhang Jingming introduced him.
The visitor saluted Zhang Zuo respectfully, and when he learned from Zhang Zuo that the little old man standing next to him who looked slightly younger than him was Tang Yin, he couldn't help but be shocked.
I originally thought that my qualifications were very impressive, but before I even entered the palace, I found out that the famous Tang Bohu was working as a tutor in the palace. Is this amazing?
"This is Zhu Hao, a descendant of the Zhu family from a thousand local Jinyiwei families. His father died for the country in quelling the banditry in the Central Plains. He was a loyal follower of the Ming Dynasty. Now he has passed the government examination and won the title of county chief. It is expected that... he will be able to enter school next year.
.”
Zhang Zuo smiled and made further introduction.
Chu Yu nodded slightly towards Zhu Hao.
Although it is strange that a child who looks so young can pass the county criminal examination, I guess it may have something to do with the secret operations of Prince Xing's Mansion, but after all, he is from a teaching background, and the students he usually sees are gone, and he behaves naturally in front of the students.
Show the majesty of a teacher.
Zhu Hao observed Chu Yu carefully.
It's very ordinary. Judging from his kind-faced and kind-hearted eyes but not the murderous intention to avoid strangers, he may not be as rigorous as Fan Yikuan in terms of academic rigor, but I don't know the details without having a close relationship with him. I think that even if this person may not be very talented, at least he is a great Confucian and cannot be looked down upon.
As far as Zhu Hao knew, there really was a person named Chu Yu in history.
In the 29th year of Qianlong's reign, Wang Jin, compiled by the Hanlin Academy and an observer on Youjiang Road in Guangxi Province, compiled and edited the "Liuzhou Prefecture Chronicles": "Chu Yu, a native of Liucheng, was a Gengzi Juren in Chenghua. He was the chief historian of Prince Xing's Mansion and was highly respected.
Keep your duties, return home after your term is over, and no longer fill the post. Emperor Shizong accepted the throne and failed to go to war after repeated campaigns."
Now Zhu Hao finally knows that this piece of local chronicle is obviously wrong.
The official position of the Palace Chief is a fifth-grade official position, which cannot be held by non-Jinshi. Moreover, the Palace Chief is between Beijing officials and local officials. When Beijing officials are transferred to other places, they are promoted to the third to fifth grades, while the royal officials are basically promoted to the second grade.
to level four.
Just like Yuan Zonggao, as the chief historian of the Prince's Palace in the fifth rank, he was appointed as the inspector of Jiangxi Province in the third rank. In addition to the convention, he was promoted to four levels consecutively because he had been in the palace for nearly 20 years and was promoted after being evaluated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The reasons for not being promoted are there.
"Zhang Changshi, Yuan Changshi has something to do today and cannot come to greet him in person. Why don't we go back to the palace to talk in detail? After meeting the prince, I will have a good time and drink until I get drunk... You don't know that the palace is very lively today.
, just like Chinese New Year, haha.”
Zhang Zuo is very enthusiastic.
To outsiders, he is the kind of good-natured man who is easy to talk to in everything, and is not at all as scheming and money-grubbing as he appears in private.
…
…
The group took separate carriages into the city.
Zhu Hao and Tang Yin rode together.
Zhu Hao asked: "What do you think?"
Tang Yin shook his head: "It's nothing. Both Zhang Changshi and Chu Xi seem to be good people, but I don't know if there will be any resentment in the future... In the end, it will make it easier for me to teach the prince in the future."
"hey-hey."
Zhu Hao couldn't stop laughing.
"You're not making any bad ideas again, are you? The palace has been tormented by you a lot. You should be more restrained recently, so as not to be kicked out of the palace early in the end. Studying in the palace... is better than hanging around outside, here
It’s a good place where you can study with peace of mind.”
Tang Yin was still teaching Zhu Hao earnestly.
But he also knew that these words were in vain.
The carriage arrived at the main entrance of the palace.
Yuan Zonggao led people out of the palace to greet him, and they exchanged pleasantries for a long time.
After entering the palace, Lu Song came over to greet the guards to clear the way. After welcoming Yuan Zonggao and others into the inner courtyard, Lu Song did not go in with Tang Yin, but stayed with Zhu Hao.
"Why don't Lu Dianzhan go in and take a look?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile.
Lu Song shook his head: "My responsibilities are not included in this... Master Zhu, have you seen the new teacher? How do you feel?"
Zhu Hao didn't expect Lu Song to care so much about this new teacher in Wangfu. Probably because he was his son's teacher, and as a parent, he naturally wanted to know his true level as soon as possible.
Zhu Hao pursed his lips: "I don't see anything special about him, probably all famous scholars look like this."
Lu Song laughed when he heard this.
The two of them walked to the west courtyard together. Along the way, they found that many of the palace guards and servants were preparing for the banquet held to celebrate Zhang Jingming's return to the palace that day. Chicken, duck, and fish were sent to the kitchen in pots. Just as Zhang Zuo said, the palace
It's like celebrating the Chinese New Year.
"By the way, Lu Dianzhan, what happened next to the land grab with Prince Xiang's Mansion?" Zhu Hao asked.
Lu Song's face showed a hint of contempt that was not worth mentioning.
"Everyone in Prince Xing's Mansion is full of warriors. Prince Xiang's Mansion is weak and they obviously just want to cause trouble. The dispute over the land involves fighting openly and openly... before we could take action, they fled and have not shown up again since."
Zhu Hao said: "I'm afraid that someone in the court will secretly instigate Prince Xiang's Mansion to go against Prince Xing's Mansion and start a sudden attack... It's better to be more prepared. If something happens, the court will not be biased because the land was given by the Holy One."
Lu Song thoughtfully nodded and said, "I'll remember it."
…
…
Zhang Jingming's return to the Prince's Palace did not cause any big waves, and there seemed to be no sign of a new official taking office. It was even more low-key than when Yuan Zonggao returned to the Palace in the first year.
As for Chu Yu, on the second day after entering the palace, he went to the school building in Xikuoyuan to attend classes.
Judging from the teaching quality... it is quite average, almost at the same level as Sui Gongyan.
Not to mention Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin who had just returned to the palace for class, even the children Zhu San and Zhu Si were drowsy after listening to it.
When Fan Yikuan entered the palace, although his teachings were strict, fortunately he was cold on the outside and warm on the inside. After establishing a friendship with Tang Yin, he got the lesson plan from Tang Yin and integrated it...
Now this Chu Yu is obviously an important figure invited back by the Chief Secretary of Prince Xing's Palace to check and balance Tang Yin. After arriving at the Palace, he only received orders from Prince Xing and the two chief historians. He did not even communicate with Tang Yin in a polite way, expecting him to learn from Zhu.
The teaching methods taught by Hao and Tang Yin are simply unrealistic.
"The new gentleman is so boring. What nonsense does he talk about? I fell asleep several times!"
After school in the morning, Chu Yu left first.
Even as a "bad student" in the class, Zhu San felt that the new teacher's skills were quite average, and he couldn't help but make fun of him.
Zhu Si put away the books and made a face: "Third sister, just be content with what you have done. It's hard to find such a gentleman outside... After all, I am a civil servant. Do you think everyone is like Mr. Tang and Zhu Hao?
Can you explain the Four Books and Five Classics in an easy-to-understand manner?"
Zhu San looked at Zhu Hao with a smile: "Then why should we invite you, sir? It would be good to just let this bad guy teach us."
"Um."
This time, Jinghong next to him nodded in agreement.
From Jinghong's point of view, the new teacher simply doesn't know what to say. The gap between me and Zhu Hao is already very big. By learning from Zhu Hao and Tang Yin, I still have the opportunity to get close to his knowledge. If I keep listening to what the new teacher tells us
Those things, I guess this is the end of my life.
Zhu San said: "Xiao Si, go and tell your father to replace this incompetent gentleman."
"never mind."
Zhu Si evaded, "Mr. Chu was specially invited back by Mr. Yuan. Mr. Zhang has also returned to the palace now. I still want to live a stable life for a few days... I don't want to cause trouble."
Now Zhu Sixue is smarter.
If he went to ask Zhu Youqi to change his teaching, or if he praised Zhu Hao and Tang Yin, Zhu Youqi would definitely tell Yuan Zonggao, and Yuan Zonggao would find ways to add extra coursework and exam items to him, and "punish" him in the name of caring about his studies.
Even the young Zhu Si understood that it was not the right time to help Tang Yin and Zhu Hao. He had to follow Yuan Zonggao's wishes first...
Prince Xing's Mansion began to be inflamed.
Zhu Hao muttered, maybe it was because Tang Yin and I came to break history that the atmosphere in Prince Xing's mansion began to turn bad.
…
…
It's October in the blink of an eye.
Chu Yu has been teaching in the palace for nearly a month.
During this period, Chu Yu basically didn't ask about Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin's academic performance. It may be that Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Jingming explained to him that Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin were children who were going to take the college entrance examination, and Zhu Hao's husband was still Tang Yin, and Chu Yu didn't want to teach him.
Zhu Hao was knowledgeable and was mistakenly thought that he wanted to steal Tang Yin's "high disciple".
In fact, he only entered the palace to give lessons to the prince, and his teaching was of the type where "the teacher teaches the teacher, and the student sleeps with the student". He only completed his own part of the teaching content, and it was not even clear whether Zhu Si learned it or not.
No matter whether you ask or not.
It may also be that he is wary of his status as the prince of the royal family, so it is good to teach such children without being targeted. The teaching is purely for official business.
At this moment, news came back from Jiang Lun in the capital.
Prince's study room.
Zhu Youji specially called Yuan Zonggao, Zhang Jingming, Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin, and even some officials from the palace were present to talk about the latest situation reported from the capital.
"...It's like this. Mr. Jiang said that the one hundred glazed beads we brought to the palace as tribute are now regarded as rare treasures by the palace. Only those who are favored by your majesty's closest ministers will be rewarded with one or two, while the inner palace
The concubines and deacons are all proud to receive the glass beads rewarded by the emperor..."
Zhang Zuo conveyed the information in Chiang Lun's letter.
Everyone present looked at each other in astonishment.
A month ago, when Zhu Hao took out a hundred marbles as a tribute, everyone thought it was too much. At that time, King Xing felt that it was a bit too much to give only one jade Ruyi, so he took that one by the way.
Hundreds of marbles were sent to the capital.
Who would have thought that this gift...the jade Ruyi did not cause any commotion, but instead became marbles, which became precious jewelry appreciated by the emperor. Who can I ask to reason?
