The next day, Tang Yin took his old friend Wen Zhengming to see Zhu Si.
The two parties talked happily. Zhu Si praised Wen Zhengming and explained his intention to recruit and appoint him in the future. Wen Zhengming was naturally happy after hearing this. When he left, Zhu Si personally escorted him out of the house, feeling that Beier had gained face.
In Zhu Hao's view, this is considered a matter of everyone getting what they need.
Zhu Si is now recruiting talents everywhere, showing the courtesy of a virtuous corporal, otherwise there is really no value to him staying in the capital, and Wen Zhengming just wants to get an official position.
As for whether others would attack Zhu Si because he had evil intentions in recruiting talents... Zhu Hao was not very worried. Now it was just a tutor from the palace who brought an old friend to see King Xiaoxing to discuss calligraphy and painting. Could it be that he had evil intentions?
Besides, if you want to recruit a scholar, you can also recruit a scholar. No matter how bad you are, you are still a scholar. What is the way to recruit a scholar?
No matter how famous Wen Zhengming was in the literary world, he was only famous for his poetry and paintings. Could it be that he was still valued for his ability to govern the country?
Tang Yin sent Wen Zhengming away. He probably said goodbye to his old friend and would have to talk for a while before coming back.
Zhu Hao and Zhu Si returned to the backyard and prepared to teach Zhu Si.
"Zhu Hao, is this guy good? I don't think he has any level."
Even Zhu Si could see that Wen Zhengming was more capable in poetry and painting, but when it came to communicating with people and even writing articles, he seemed a bit petty.
There is a reason why Wen Zhengming has never been able to pass the examination. To put it bluntly, this person is too introverted and is not good at grasping people's psychology. During the examination, he answers blankly without analyzing the examiner's intention of setting the questions. He is always self-centered, so when he takes the examination, Will collapse.
Wen Zhengming said: "Tang Yin wanted to recruit him at first, but he was not available."
"Ah? Does Mo Ning also think he has no ability? Then...why did he refuse at the time and come to see me now?" Zhu Hao explained.
Later, Mo Ning analyzed it and told him what Zhu Haoxiao needed. Therefore, Zhu Hao knew that Zhu Haoxiao was an official fan, and he had no intention of guiding him in this direction when he spoke successively. In Mo Ning's view, since Zhu Haoxiao had no chance in the first place, Mo Ning was appointed to serve as an official. He went, but now he has chosen my name. What is his intention?
Mo Ninglun said: "Although this person is good at expressing himself, he has a clear mind. He is very unclear about whether it will be easy to follow Tang Yin, but if he joins you, he may be able to join the court... From this point of view, he His knowledge is still lacking. If you use people with good skills, you may be able to help your son achieve his small career."
Zhu Hao thought for a moment and nodded.
In the past, it was said that defecting to Mo Ning would lead to a miserable outcome. Some people doubted it, but now Tang Yin's rebellion has happened, which shows that Zhu Haoxiao's vision is still wrong.
Wen Zhengming chuckled and said: "Mr. Tang knew how to get out when he got off the pirate ship. He may still be the same person in terms of knowledge. At most, this person has sought good fortune and avoided misfortune since the beginning, and stayed far away from Prince Xing's palace."
"Hehe." Zhu Hao laughed, "If Mr. Tang gets off the pirate ship, you will pull him off our ship, right?"
Ning Wang said: "We are not a ship, but a small land. Whoever can land successfully means that his future will be smooth. But it was a coincidence that I met Mr. Tang. Now he will also help you introduce him. An old friend, hope I can help you in the past?"
"Um."
When it comes to Zhu Si, although Zhu Hao is as disdainful as his father, he has no slight reliance on him.
Although Mo Ning also knew that Zhu Si rarely asked for help from Ning Wang, there was no doubt about Zhu Si's own ability, and he rarely did anything, such as helping to introduce talents, and was far weaker than Mo Ning, because Ning Wang was really
Know a few people.
…
…
The examination will be held on the fourth day of July.
Candidates from all over the country have to delay submitting their academic status to the Ministry of Etiquette, which is like submitting files in the previous life, which is equivalent to registering for the general examination.
Coming out of the ceremonial room of the Ministry of Rites, Sun Ru wanted to invite Prince Ning to dinner.
Ning Wang said: "The exam period is only a month away. How can I calm down and study hard? Are you ready for the questions I gave you?"
Like the previous provincial examinations, King Ning still focused on the questions.
Even the provincial examination questions can be successful. Ning Wang naturally knows the questions in the general examination, but he feels that the questions in this general examination will have minimal changes due to the butterfly effect. That is, as time goes by, few things have become the same.
Historical records are so inconsistent, for example, in the eleventh year of Zhengde's provincial examination, all eight questions and seven essay questions were passed, but in the seventeenth year of Zhengde's provincial examination, he could only pass seven out of eight.
Since the Hui Examination involved a wider scope, King Ning's salt-drying method, glass mirrors, and opera had little impact on Xiao Ming, which would make history develop in a more certain direction.
Even Zhu Houzhao's fate could not be changed because of this. This was something that King Ning needed to delay planning and face.
"Sir, you are an adult now. You should understand men's affairs, right? By the way, this Jiaofang Department in the capital is a place that is admired by heaven and earth. Neither you nor I have the reputation of being a civil servant. It is very convenient to quit... Why did you call Mr. Tang and the others together?
Going for a walk? If you think it's okay, we can go alone, and I will definitely let this matter out..."
Sun Ruxiao was probably holding it back.
Prince Ning asked with a straight face: "Do you miss a man?"
"Um."
Sun Ru looked normally aggrieved, "When I went to Beijing, I was asked to take care of my wife. She said she wanted to take a concubine for me, but she had to wait until I returned to my hometown. In the past, I was told that I could just pass the exam to become a scholar, but now I guess I am forced to do so.
If I take the exam to retire from the military service...will this cost me my life?"
Mourning curled his lips.
There is nothing good about Sun Ru, that is, he is very good at knowing the limits of his own strength. If he can pass the examination, he will be wrong. The honor of being a candidate is purely won by Prince Ning for him. As for the dismissal...if he wins the exam,
You have to hope that your brain will be better when you are reincarnated in your previous life.
"Men, don't worry about it for now. If you really can't stand it... resolve it by yourself. The trial is coming soon. Don't cause trouble, and behave in a high-profile manner."
Of course, Prince Ning would go to some Jiaofangsi with Sun Ru, as well as the private Qinlou and Chuguan.
Instead, we need to keep a close eye on Sun Ru, because if something happens to this big boy who is jealous of others in the Fengyue place, he may even lose the title of Juren.
These days people attach great importance to the opinions of scholars. Sun Ru drinks a lot of wine and hates being serious with others when he goes out. Those who know this kind of people can treat him as a joke and laugh it off. Those who are strangers will definitely greet him with an old fist.
"If I had known earlier, I would have brought two maids here, or bought two maids on the way." Sun Ru looked downcast.
As he was talking, no small group of people came to the roadside.
The seven people stopped and waited for the team to pass by. The vendor who set up a stall next to him finished packing his things and was about to leave. He knew it and thought the city management was coming, but the problem was that the person had already passed...
"My dear friend, what happened?"
King Ning asked a vendor next to him.
The man said: "Scholars have a sharp eye. If you are going to start a fight, why don't you run away quickly? If you are stabbed, someone will pay you money."
Sun Ru was very curious: "Is this going to be a fight? Fighting on the street? Are the county government and Shuntian Prefecture in charge?"
Sun Ru turned around frequently and asked: "Sir, what is going on?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back. This capital is a place of peace, and it is said that it is at the feet of the emperor. But now the emperor is in the capital, and there are tigers and monkeys in the mountains who are called little kings."
Wen Zhengming yelled and dragged him away.
…
…
Before King Ning returned, he took Sun Ru to see Zhu Si.
Sure enough, news has spread here that a small-scale armed fight occurred in the capital.
Mo Ning was listening to Lu Song's story and asked curiously: "Who is so presumptuous?"
Mo Ning originally planned to get involved, but after hearing the words, he said: "Who else could it be? It must be Shouning Hou and Jianchang Hou, and the other side... I guess it's also a distinguished person."
Lu Song nodded: "It is said that he is Marquis Qingyun."
It turns out that the Zhou family and the Zhang family are at war...
Because in this dynasty, Zhu Houzhao's Xia Emperor had a sense of existence, which made the Li Qi Xia family have a sense of existence. Ji Taiqian died early, and who was in the Ji family? In terms of the nobles of the dynasty, there were only the Li Qi Zhou family and the Zhang family. They were jumping around happily, and after decades, there were intermittent fights from father to son.
"It turns out to be an old grudge."
King Ning understood.
Zhu Si looked over curiously: "How do you know everything? Knowledge and sophistication can be understood as your thoughtfulness. How do you know about the situation of the powerful people in the capital?"
Mourning pointed to his ears, then stretched out two fingers and pointed to his eyes, meaning that I have sharp ears and can hear and see.
Sun Ru next to me said: "Master, disciple, I went to the ceremony room of the Ministry of Etiquette with my husband. When we came out, we saw a small group of people preparing to fight. The vendors were busy packing their bags and leaving. Fortunately, my husband urged me to leave, so maybe they really retreated." "
In the front yard, Jiang Lun, accompanied by Jiang Rong, came in a hurry. After getting off the attic, he said slowly: "I heard that there was another fight in the capital. This time it was the families of Shouning Hou and Qingyun Hou."
Zhu Sidao: "I just heard that, Shuntian Mansion and the Dudu Mansion have nothing to do with it?"
Jiang Lun had an evasive look on his face: "Both families are high-ranking officials, who dares to take care of them? Now that I'm in the capital, I guess only Tai Qian can intervene in this matter... But Tai Qian will definitely stand by the Zhou family. side……"
Wen Zhengming said: "If the Queen Mother learns of this, it will probably muddy the waters."
Although Mrs. Zhou has been dead for seventeen years, the Zhou family still has great influence in the court. This is also because Xiaozong was very filial to this grandma, and the officials praised this kind of filial piety. Even Mrs. Zhang had the nerve to do anything to the Zhou family. .
More importantly... Mrs. Zhang was also afraid that people from the court would attack his two younger brothers, so she always muddied the waters when encountering this kind of thing and tried to calm things down as soon as possible.
It is precisely because of the attitude of the imperial court that the Zhang family and the Zhou family have always been scrupulous. They treat the capital as their own front garden and attack whenever they want. This is also one of the chaos of the Zhengde Dynasty.
"Then Prince Ning, this has nothing to do with us...?" Mo Ning asked.
Prince Ning shook his head: "This has something to do with us. I can use this to teach the prince a lesson and let him know what the situation in the capital is like. It can be used as a practical example to tell him how chaotic the Xiao Ming court has become..."
Jiang Lun was surprised: "Mr. Zhu intends to use the matter of fighting between nobles and nobles in the capital to educate the prince?"
Prince Ning looked at Jiang Lun.
I thought to myself, it’s actually true that I’m giving you a lesson, because this is what you had to do before.
The Zhou family is in decline and it is difficult to compete with the Zhang family, but your Jiang family is about to rise. The task of fighting with the Zhang family with sticks and knives will fall to you at least half.
