"Your Majesty, you should listen more to Mr. Tang's teachings in the future. He can not only teach you knowledge in the palace, but also teach you how to live in the world. If you study hard, you will be able to do well in the future..."
Halfway through his words, Zhu Youqian stopped talking.
There are some things that obviously need to be said to my son alone after everyone present has left.
The unsaid part must be "You may achieve great things in the future." Tell your son that you are now the first heir to the throne, and Tang Yin can teach you how to be a good emperor.
Many people present could hear the implication of Zhu Youqiu's words, and looked over with jealous eyes.
This clearly tells Zhu Si that if you want to run the palace, it is enough for you to have Yuan Zonggao as your assistant. If you want to conquer the world, you must have Tang Yin by your side to help you. This is the greatest legacy left to you by your father.
"Zhu Hao..."
Zhu Youqiao suddenly turned his attention to Zhu Hao.
None of the people present expected that Zhu Youqi would actually have the heart to comment on Zhu Hao at this critical moment when he was leaving an orphan on his deathbed. After all, Zhu Hao was only a young man. Even though he was now a student, his status was not the same as that of other people in the palace. There is still a clear gap.
Zhu Youzhao's gaze on Zhu Hao was very gentle. After nodding his head with relief, he didn't say a word.
Just from this earnest look in his eyes, Zhu Hao could see Zhu Youqiao's trust and sustenance.
There may be some words that are really inconvenient to say in front of outsiders, but if the father knows, the people his son will trust most in the future are likely to be the children who grew up with him, especially Zhu Hao and Zhu who are both his teachers and friends. Hao's talent is definitely outstanding among several children.
But directly praising a child in front of so many palace officials would cause conflicts within the palace. It would be better to look at him with a loving look and let him know his expectations.
This time Zhu Si took the initiative to answer: "Father, my child will study hard with Zhu Hao in the future."
"hehe."
Zhu Youqian was already very tired at this time.
When he was seriously ill, he suddenly met so many people. Even though he took strong analgesics and refreshing drugs, he still couldn't bear it. It looked like he was going to rest. But after hearing his son's innocent words, he couldn't help but smile. .
After all, the son is too young and does not understand the ways of the world, or maybe... the son really trusts Zhu Hao.
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhu Youqi then started coughing violently again, as if he couldn't stop.
Zhang Zuo hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and then Zhu Youqi bit his ear and said a few words. Zhang Zuo turned around and said to everyone present: "Everyone, the prince has worked so hard to summon you to come to discuss things. Now I have said almost everything I should say. Please, please Go back."
At this point, the posthumous matters have basically been explained, and the only remaining issue that Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo care about is the order of the people who will take care of the orphans.
Others don't care about this at all... Originally, there were only a few senior people in the palace, and they only cared about who was the chief and who was the second seat. For most people, the palace would still live the same life if it had another owner. They had expected it from the first day they entered the palace. There will be a moment when the old and the new replace each other.
…
…
Neither Tang Yin nor Zhu Hao was left behind, and Yuan Zonggao and Jiang Lun also left one after another.
Only Zhang Zuo and the people from the Prince's Administrative Department stayed, and Zhu Si was also there. Then he went to call Princess Jiang, and sisters Zhu San and Zhu Wu came to explain the funeral affairs. The rest was completely a family matter.
Yuan Zonggao walked out of the courtyard, exchanged no words with Tang Yin, and left with a livid face.
Tang Yin glanced at Yuan Zonggao's back with a look of loss.
Originally, he and Yuan Zonggao still had a chance to ease their relationship, especially when the prince succeeded to the throne as King Xing. He hoped that the two sides could discuss how to manage the palace... But now what King Xing said before his death completely broke Yuan Zonggao's heart.
It also stopped the possibility of the two of them working together.
"How can you be bright if you are born with a yu, but the problem is, even if someone is Kong Ming, he is not Zhou Gongjin?"
Zhu Hao looked at Yuan Zonggao's back and deliberately told Tang Yin what to say.
No matter how jealous Yuan Zonggao is, he should have a sense of proportion and know what his abilities are... A well-established old Confucian official like you has long lost his enterprising spirit. King Xing's greatest wish for his son is to become the emperor in the future.
You can bear the responsibility of taking care of an orphan in the palace, but can you bear the heavy responsibility of an auxiliary minister?
Tang Yin glanced sideways at Zhu Hao and said angrily: "You kid is so rude."
Zhu Haodao: "Originally, I thought Yuan Changshi was tolerant and generous, but now it seems that he is obviously too narrow-minded in some things. Sir, he just got the expectations of King Xing. In his eyes... maybe Mr.
We will take away his position. Sir, you may be in trouble..."
Tang Yin sighed: "I understand what you mean... After the death of King Xing, I have no official position and no rank. I am basically an idle person in the palace. I may be ordered to leave at any time in the future... I should think
I want to retreat..."
Zhu Hao said: "Sir, it's okay for you to take a good rest. At your age, what I'm most afraid of is... when the good times come, you won't be able to hold on."
Originally, Zhu Hao didn't want to remind Tang Yin like this, but after experiencing King Xing's death as scheduled according to history, Zhu Hao discovered that many things seemed to have their own destiny.
Regardless of whether Zhu Hao exists or not, Zhu Youqi will pass away in the fourteenth year of Zhengde. Then Tang Yin... Historically, he died in the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Jiajing, so there are still four and a half years left... Even if you, Tang Yin, look alive and kicking now
, I'm afraid that in four years' time, you will be as terminally ill as Zhu Youqiu...
Tang Yin had a look of emotion on his face: "You are right. It seems that I should take good care of my body in the future. At my age, I should know my destiny."
"Can you drink less alcohol?"
Zhu Hao asked.
"Haha, forget it. You are already so old, why bother yourself?" Tang Yin immediately took back what he said like shit.
Zhu Hao was speechless.
In your current state, old fellow, even if I help you achieve great things, you won't be able to bear it.
But at least you are better than that old man Yuan Zonggao. He died two years earlier than you, and Zhang Jingming also died in the 16th year of Zhengde... Jiang Lun lived in the 5th year of Jiajing... Lu Song could survive, at least until the 15th year of Jiajing.
…
…
Zhu Hao went back and continued teaching.
I thought that Zhu Si would not come back to the school for classes in the afternoon, but unexpectedly, before sunset, Zhu Si came back.
Zhu Si's expression was still sad, but he was no more sad than before. Zhu Youqi probably hadn't reached the last moment yet.
Jinghong glanced at him with concern and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhu Si shook his head.
Lu Bing came over and whispered: "I heard from my mother that the prince's condition is very serious."
When Zhu Hao glared at him, Lu Bing quickly put his head back.
Zhu Hao called Zhu Si aside and did not ask what King Xing said to Zhu Si later. He just comforted him and asked him to look away.
"My father asked me to take charge of the palace, but I don't understand anything. What should I do in the future?" Zhu Si looked annoyed, "Zhu Hao, can you save my father?"
Zhu Hao shook his head.
Not to mention that Zhu Youqi is now terminally ill, but when he discovered that Zhu Youqi was suffering from lung cancer, he had no solution. Even doctors from later tertiary hospitals supported by modern medical technology were helpless, let alone him? What the imperial doctor had given before The strategy is just to prolong King Xing's life as much as possible, rather than trying to cure him.
"Let's talk about something happy. How about I tell you another story... I have told many stories without endings before. Which one do you want to hear now?" Zhu Hao said.
Zhu Si was still only a half-grown child. Hearing this, his eyes widened and he said, "Just the story about the old scholar."
This is a story that Zhu Hao has often told him in the past six months. It involves many of the old scholar’s previous experiences. It is so unparalleled as to be unparalleled in heaven and earth. It also describes his experiences in such a miserable and impressive way...
Zhu Sidao: "Zhu Hao, please tell me clearly, is the protagonist of this story Mr. Tang? I heard that Mr. Tang had no chance to enter an official career because of his problems in the past, and his father refused to give him a position. His acceptance, as well as his attainments in poetry and painting, are unparalleled in the world...it is very similar to the situation of the person in your story."
Zhu Hao smiled and nodded.
This is the purpose of his storytelling.
Without telling the results directly, let the audience explore by themselves. During the exploration process, they will become more curious about the characters in the story, which will further stimulate their interest.
"But who is that rich girl? Mr. Tang is so powerful, it is not easy for him to marry anyone? Why can't they be together if they have lovers?"
Sure enough, Zhu Si asked about the hidden clue that Zhu Hao had buried for a long time.
Zhu Hao replied: "That person is Princess Ning."
"ah!?"
Zhu Si was shocked when he heard this.
"Mr. Tang and Princess Ning are both teachers and students, as well as friends, and they have a relationship of mutual admiration. However, Princess Ning always has her own plans, so Mr. Tang can only bury his deep feelings in his heart. If Prince Ning wants to rebel, he may have already It is being carried out, so Princess Ning must die, and this relationship... is destined to end in vain."
Zhu Hao looked regretful.
If an adult's reaction to hearing this story would be that they would not ask any more questions.
Who is Tang Yin? How dare you covet Princess Ning? You are messing with the world and a scum of society, and you must be criticized morally!
But Zhu Si was always just a little kid who didn't understand anything about men and women. Zhu Hao told him a story before, which hinted at the many lovers between Tang Yin and Princess Ning who couldn't get married. The two cherished each other and were affectionate and righteous. In Zhu Si's mind, Prince Ning was a treacherous and evil person, and Princess Ning was forcibly taken over by him... Zhu Hao first gave Zhu Si the next sentence: "Tang Yin and Princess Ning are the couple of gods and immortals, but they are hindered by the secular world." can’t be together” stereotype.
"If Princess Ning dies, Mr. Tang will be very sad, right?" Zhu Si asked worriedly.
Zhu Hao nodded: "Do you need to say this? It's a pity that at our age, there is no good way... Prince, let me ask you, if you have the ability to help them, for example, Princess Ning is destined to die, you can just reach out. Rescue him, let him remain anonymous, stay with Mr. Tang, and the lovers will eventually get married... Are you willing to help?"
Zhu Si scratched his head: "What's the use of just being willing? I heard my father say... Prince Ning plans to usurp the throne, and it would be a shame to die... But Princess Ning is innocent after all."
What I want is your words.
The biggest obstacle for Zhu Hao to get Princess Ning is the trouble afterwards. There are not many people who know Princess Ning in this world. If Tang Yin really has a chance to be in the imperial class in the future, this will become a time bomb.
