A piece of elm wood, he was so pedantic in his studies that even Fan Yikuan, who had always been enthusiastic about scholars, used extreme methods to force him to give up his fame. Regardless of his knowledge, let’s talk about his attitude towards studying. That’s not true.
Normal people.
"If you want to learn from me, you have to be my disciple...Don't tell me any conditions, or wait until he gets the honors and then come to be my disciple. Since I'm not a teacher, how can I impose strict requirements on him and let him go to school and get the honors?"
"
Zhu Hao's meaning is obvious.
If you want to learn, you can kneel down and learn from the teacher, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.
The old servant was anxious: "This young gentleman, it's not that my young master refuses, it's just that he already has a teacher..."
"Then don't bother me. Go back and tell your old lady that I have made some conditions. If you want her son to get a meritorious degree, I can only be responsible for his studies in the future. The number of apprenticeships cannot be less. I have not officially
Accepting a disciple, if he is sincere, he can be regarded as my chief disciple... it should be an honor for you."
Zhu Hao looked arrogant.
Originally, Sun Ru tried his best to be patient, perhaps because of the pressure from his mother, which prevented him from having an attack. But when he heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Who do you think you are? Then I'll make a bet with you... I
Candidates who have passed the exam, please give me one hundred taels of silver, right?"
The old servant hurriedly stepped forward, trying to hold back his impulsive young master who was about to go berserk, but found that he couldn't hold him back at all. Seeing that his young master had slammed the door and left, he hurriedly turned back: "Sir, don't be anxious, my young master is here.
You are stubborn, I will ask my old lady for instructions when I get back before I will reply to you."
The master and servant left before they even finished talking.
Zhu Hao couldn't help but shake his head.
You still want to go to school with this habit? No wonder Fan Yikuan looks down on you! You are not an ordinary elm lump, but an elm lump that fell into the cesspool.
Zhu Hao thought to himself, if the bet between you and Fan Yikuan hadn't spread to the public, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you.
…
…
When Zhu Hao returned home, before lunch, Lu Song came to the door anxiously and informed him that there was something going on at the palace and asked him to go back quickly. On the way, he told Prince Xiang's palace about finding trouble.
Zhu Hao asked: "Didn't Prince Xiang's Mansion send anyone to negotiate this time?"
Even though Lu Song was still driving the car in front, he couldn't help but look back at Zhu Hao when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face: "How did Master Zhu know that? I heard that Prince Xiang's Palace sent the Prince's Right Chief Shi to come here this afternoon.
We will arrive in Anlu soon. When the palace was discussing matters earlier, they were discussing whether to detain the person..."
Zhu Hao smiled and asked: "Detain? Why? Exchange hostages?"
Lu Song first thought about the idea of "exchanging hostages" and found it novel and interesting, but he still nodded: "Our people were detained by Prince Xiang's Mansion, so naturally we have to find a way to get them back... Some of the brothers watching the night were injured and were
Those who are captured will probably be miserable..."
Zhu Hao said: "Don't worry, Prince Xiang's Palace doesn't dare to cause trouble. Since they can take the initiative to send the Palace Chief, it means they have the intention to make peace. It may also be that Prince Xiang's Palace is very passive in this matter.
"
Lu Song asked in confusion: "They have already taken the initiative to become our enemy, and they are called passive? How do you interpret Master Zhu's words?"
Zhu Hao closed his eyes to rest, and said in a quiet tone: "Prince Xiang's Mansion was used as a vanguard against Prince Xing's Mansion, do you think they are happy? It is very likely that this matter was instigated by others, forcing them to do it as a last resort, and maybe they even made a promise.
Benefit, or threat, in short they don’t want to make the matter a big deal. If they understand this, it will be easier to talk.”
Lu Song was speechless: "Young Master Zhu, everyone in the palace is now thinking that this matter will intensify. Why are you the only one who is so indifferent about it? But you have expected this kind of thing, and your views on Prince Xiang's Mansion... must be sharp.
, why not tell Wang Ming Xing when you go back?"
Zhu Hao asked: "After I enter the palace, can I go directly to see Prince Xing?"
"This... Prince Xing is not feeling well. After meeting Yuan Changshi and Mr. Tang earlier, he should go to rest now. The same goes for raising matters with Yuan Changshi and Mr. Tang."
Lu Song thought that Zhu Hao's opinion was very important, and feared that the people in the palace would take action without waiting for Zhu Hao to discuss countermeasures, so he hurriedly rushed towards the palace.
…
…
When Zhu Hao arrived at Prince Xing's Mansion, some of the guards from the Yiwei Department, led by Deputy Yiwei Luo Sheng and Dian Zhan Luo An and his son, were preparing to go to the border between Anlu and Xiangyang to seize the fields by force.
Tang Yin also put on a smart outfit. It seemed that he was going to go with him and prepare to serve as a military advisor on the front line.
"Wait a minute."
Zhu Hao quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Guys, could you please allow me to say a few words to Mr. Tang?"
As an old man in the royal family, Luo Sheng had some respect for young men like Zhu Hao, but he did not obey his words. He just looked at Tang Yin asking for instructions.
Seeing Tang Yin nodding, Luo Sheng called the people aside, and Tang Yin followed Zhu Hao into the west courtyard cafeteria, followed by Lu Song.
"You are leaving in such a hurry? Are you not afraid of something happening? You will be responsible for all the responsibilities?"
Zhu Hao came up and said in a questioning tone.
Tang Yin sighed: "This happened because of me. Now that things have changed, I am fully responsible."
The implication is that although you were the one who proposed the strategy and asked me to suggest to King Xing to use force to seize the fields stolen by Prince Xiang's Mansion, Yuan Changshi strongly opposed it at that time, so he kept a cold war with me for nearly half a year. I knew something was wrong.
You want me to take the responsibility, but if something happens now, do you want me to stand by and watch?
"Can it be a day late?"
Zhu Hao asked.
"Um!?"
Tang Yin was puzzled.
Zhu Haodao: "Lu Dianzhan told me on the way back that Prince Xiang's Mansion has sent someone to negotiate, and he is still the Chief of the Xiang Mansion. This shows that there is still room for negotiation between the two parties... Why make the matter so big that you can't get out of it yourself?
tower?"
Tang Yin said in surprise: "Zhu Hao, this is not like your usual style."
You were the one who asked me to make the matter bigger in the first place. You also analyzed it with me and said that this was what the court wanted to see. Furthermore, it made people feel that Prince Xing's palace was short-sighted and only wanted to take advantage of the three-acre land.
You don’t even need to be decent...and now you’re here to teach me a lesson and tell me to stop?
Zhu Haodao: "I want you to postpone it for a day until you meet the Chief of Xiang Mansion today and see his attitude before making a decision... No matter how urgent the matter is, don't rush it at this moment, right?"
Tang Yin was a little embarrassed.
Now that everyone in the palace has been mobilized, it is not easy to stop. He thought for a while and said to Lu Song: "Lu Dianzhan, can you go outside first and let me have a few words with Zhu Hao alone?"
"OK."
Lu Song knew what was going on and quickly quit.
After there were only two people left in the cafeteria, Tang Yin asked impatiently in a low voice: "Zhu Hao, what are you doing? How can you do such inconsistent things? Everyone in the palace is watching.
As for me, even Yuan Changshi has no objection to this matter, and I am clearly waiting to see my excitement, so why are you here to cause trouble?"
Zhu Hao said: "If you really lead people to fight with the people of Prince Xiang's Mansion, then you are really causing trouble... Even if the purpose of Prince Xing's Mansion to paralyze the court is achieved, your time in Prince Xing's Mansion will not last long.
."
"What?"
Tang Yin was puzzled.
"Before, I asked you to propose to Prince Xing to make things bigger with Prince Xiang's Mansion, but it must be controlled within a certain range. Now the people from Prince Xiang's Mansion have taken the initiative. It is obvious that someone behind the scenes is coercing them to do this, forcing the people from Prince Xiang's Mansion to do so.
Come forward...you don't want to be used as a spearman by Prince Xing's Palace, and eventually die together with Prince Xiang's Palace, right?" Zhu Hao asked seriously.
Tang Yin was startled: "You mean, Prince Xiang's Mansion was also forced?"
Zhu Hao said: "Otherwise? If Prince Xiang's Palace is determined to compete with Prince Xing's Palace, they could have fought back after the two sides started fighting last year. Why should they wait until spring planting this year?"
"this……"
Tang Yin thought about it and it made sense, "You are saying that Prince Xiang's Mansion actually accepted their fate and was willing to give up the land, but some people refused to let them give up? Then... who can threaten Prince Xiang's Mansion? There are a few treacherous sycophants in the court... not yet
Such qualifications, right?”
"What if it was the Queen Mother who issued the secret decree?"
Zhu Hao put forward a hypothesis.
Tang Yin took a breath: "Then Prince Xiang's Mansion is not qualified to refuse... What's the basis for this?"
Zhu Haodao: "The basis is that Prince Xiang's Mansion also wants to settle the matter and they don't want to be cannon fodder. Although they were the ones who initiated this provocation, they immediately sent Prince Palace Chief Shi Qian to negotiate. This shows that there is still room for maneuver in the matter. It depends on how both parties do it."
talk.
"That's why I asked you to wait a day before taking action. Regardless of whether the people in Prince Xiang's Mansion are as I expected, whether they took the initiative or were coerced by others, you should first meet with the envoys from Prince Xiang's Mansion before making a decision. Logically speaking,
Does it make sense?"
"But now the arrow is on the string..."
Tang Yin was a little embarrassed.
I have boasted in front of King Xing that I will be able to resolve the matter satisfactorily, but I want to postpone the execution?
Zhu Hao sighed: "You are just too anxious sometimes... It is better to ask me for my opinion than to act rashly. Many things cannot remain unchanged. You must know how to adapt to changes...
"It's like this time it's clear that the Queen Mother or someone from the court is forcing Prince Xiang's Mansion to cause trouble. Can we, Prince Xing's Mansion, go up to it as they wish? This requires careful consideration."
Tang Yin didn't want to accept Zhu Hao's criticism, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"Well, Mr. Tang immediately went to see Prince Xing and told Prince Xing that this might be the result of the Queen Mother's decree. He hoped to see Prince Xing's Mansion and Prince Xiang's Mansion fighting fiercely, so as to undermine Prince Xing's prestige in the court.
We can’t take advantage of someone’s wishes... so we have to negotiate secretly with the Chief of the Xiang Mansion and have one day as a buffer. If we can’t negotiate tonight, it won’t be too late to start fighting tomorrow!”
Zhu Hao's attitude was firm.
Tang Yin said: "Should I take you with me during the negotiation?"
Zhu Hao sneered and asked, "What do you think?"
Tang Yin thought for a while and went to see the chief historian of Prince Xiang's palace. With his own level, it seemed that he couldn't explain the matter clearly and find out what the other party meant... He was not smart enough, so it would be safer to bring Zhu Hao with him.
"Then I'll go now, but in order to avoid being accused of having inconsistent attitudes, I still need to make the people in the palace prepare in advance. At worst, we can launch a surprise attack tonight to take back the land!"
Tang Yin now has status and face in the palace. He doesn't want to slap himself in the face, so he can only find some compromise solutions.
