"I may just have a bad stomach, it's nothing serious. Let me rest for two days and then go back to class with you."
Zhu Hao told the truth this time, I just had a bad stomach.
Zhu Sandao: "You were so smart in the past, why are you so stupid this time? You are still in a bad mood. You were obviously poisoned, but the target of the thief is not you... It seems that you are really a big fool."
When he saw that Zhu Hao was also stupid, Zhu San was very happy and finally felt that he was not inferior to Zhu Hao in every aspect.
Jinghong, who was standing next to him, understood why Zhu Hao said this. He clearly didn't want the prince to feel that he was indebted to him.
This mind...
Tsk tsk!
It can't be compared, it really can't be compared.
"Zhu Hao."
Zhu Sida, who had been silent all this time, said, "If you want to eat or drink, just tell me and I will prepare it for you. The palace will definitely take good care of you."
Zhu San rolled his eyes at his younger brother: "You said it as if he was about to die. Did you think he wanted to eat something good before going to the execution ground?"
Zhu Si frowned: "Third brother, you seem to be speaking more harshly."
"It's obvious that you said something inappropriate first, and I'm correcting you, but you still blame me? What a fool." Zhu San didn't want to admit defeat in front of his younger brother, so the two siblings actually started to quarrel in front of Zhu Hao.
"OK OK!"
Zhu Hao looked a little impatient, "There is a patient here. Could you please consider my feelings for a moment? Arguments should be based on different occasions."
Zhu Sidao: "Yes, listen to Zhu Hao and I will argue with you when I get back."
Zhu San said disdainfully: "I don't have any consciousness at all, I simply don't know what to say... Anyway, Xiao Jingzi, Abing, let's go, don't disturb Zhu Hao's rest, I have to go to my father and let him teach us a lesson."
People who are disrespected by the royal family."
In front of outsiders, she was always the "eldest son" and she spoke very well. Several children filed out and even Jinghong followed them to the classroom.
…
…
Prince's study room.
Zhu Youyi listened to Yuan Zonggao's detailed report, focusing on Zhang Zhong's local movements in Huguang.
"...Zhang Zhong hurriedly led people to leave Anlu early this morning. It seems that he had something in his heart. This was probably his doing." Yuan Zonggao finally made a judgment.
In fact, Yuan Zonggao didn't really want to understand. If Zhang Zhong dared to poison Prince Xing's son in Prince Xing's mansion, wouldn't he be afraid that he would not be able to leave Anlu?
Zhu Youqian asked: "How is the situation at Zhu Hao's side?"
Yuan Zonggao said: "I sent someone to check it out early in the morning. It's not serious. I have to wait and see."
Zhu Youqi seemed to be thinking: "Then it is not a fatal poison?"
"this……"
Yuan Zonggao hesitated for a moment and then said, "According to what Zhang Fengzheng and Lu Dianzhan said, when Zhu Hao met Zhang Zhong, he was very cautious about food and tea. He only took a sip of tea at Zhang Zhong's repeated request, and then he felt strange after returning.
, sent people to the restaurant to conduct a detailed inspection last night, and no poison was found. It seems that Zhang Zhong poisoned and destroyed it in time to hide the evidence..."
Zhu Youqi asked in confusion: "Is that fatal or not fatal?"
Yuan Zonggao shook his head: "It's hard to draw a conclusion."
Zhu Youqian said: "In any case, Yuan Changshi, you still have the foresight to not let the prince go in person, nor let the three girls attend the meeting. If something unexpected happens... alas!"
Yuan Zonggao did not mean to take credit and said cautiously: "King Xing, this matter has some unusual meaning and should be investigated in detail. Logically speaking, Zhang Zhong would not dare to cause trouble in Anlu, but I heard that he had an affair with King Ning of Jiangxi."
From the very secret, even if the poisoning was done, it may not have been ordered by someone in the palace..."
As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Zonggao knew the rules very well and could not let Zhu Youqi feel resentful towards the emperor.
"Prince Ning?"
Zhu Youqi didn't quite believe this statement.
Yuan Zonggao said: "The ambition of King Ning is becoming more and more obvious. There are rumors in the capital that after he resumed guarding, he requested your majesty to give him the authority to punish the lords of the vassals on the grounds that many vassals in Jiangxi had committed illegal acts. With the help of Xiao Xiaobang, your majesty He actually agreed to his memorial. If nothing goes wrong, the feudal lords in Jiangxi may be targeted by him."
Zhu Youqian asked hurriedly: "Then will he attack my Prince Xing Mansion?"
Yuan Zonggao continued to shake his head, not that he would not, but that he was not sure either.
"Then Zhu Hao...?"
Zhu Youyi also wanted to ask Yuan Zonggao to do something.
Yuan Zonggao said: "King Xing, please relax. I will arrange everything so that the Zhu family will not know about this matter. If they know that the prince is fine, they may take further action... Unfortunately, Zhu Hao is still a member of the Zhu family. I don't know if he can To recruit him... no matter what, you must always be on guard against him."
Zhu Youyi looked at Yuan Zonggao with puzzled eyes.
Zhu Hao has rescued my son from danger many times. Even so, can't he be fully trusted? Isn't this unfair to a child?
Yuan Zonggao added: "Perhaps he is really destined to be the prince, so he can help the prince many times. It is wrong to keep him in the palace. I hope that he can devote himself to the prince in the future, and the palace's support for him will not be in vain."
…
…
An old fox is an old fox after all. Zhu Hao knew that Yuan Zonggao could not completely trust him.
Even Lu Song... was secretly on guard.
They all seem to be in harmony with each other. For the sake of their own interests, they can only use their "sincerity" to impress them little by little. But I'm afraid that no matter what they do, Prince Xing's Mansion will still treat him as an enemy to guard against him, but it doesn't matter. The only thing Zhu Hao needs is Gain Zhu Si's trust.
Zhu Youyi and Yuan Zonggao don't need to worry no matter what they think, as long as Zhu Si remembers his kindness.
Zhu Hao rested for a few days and was finally able to return to class, but his body was still very weak.
When Gongsun Yi saw Zhu Hao, he felt as if a savior had arrived, and stepped forward to greet him. Because the palace did not explain Zhu Hao's poisoning to Gongsun Yi, they only thought that Zhu Hao was ill and absent from school.
"Zhu Hao, you have been ill for a long time. Since you are feeling better, you should teach today's class." Gongsun Yi gave full play to his shameless qualities.
The implication is that the teaching position in this classroom belongs to you, and I am the teacher in name only. When you, the real owner, come back, it will naturally be you, and I will just be the teaching assistant.
Zhu San had a sarcastic look on his face: "Mr. Gongsun, Zhu Hao has taught the class, what are you talking about? You are a monk in the palace."
Gongsun Yi didn't blush at all, and said with a smile: "You can't say that. In this matter of learning, it is about learning from each other's strengths. If we are walking together, I must be my teacher. Zhu Hao can be called a teacher in some aspects... Teacher, as long as it helps you improve your studies, who can tell the difference?"
Zhu Hao said: "Sir, I have just recovered from a serious illness and may not be able to teach yet, so I am troublesome..."
Gongsun Yi nodded: "In that case, just sit down and talk."
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhu San, but also Jinghong and Zhu Si looked at Gongsun Yi with mocking eyes, feeling that this gentleman was a bit embarrassed.
Zhu Hao stopped arguing with Gongsun Yi and sat back in his seat, saying: "Since Mr. Gongsun asked me to speak, I will speak a few words. If you are not feeling well... you will have to rest. I hope that Mr. Gongsun and all the classmates will understand."
Zhu San said happily: "Very good, Mr. Zhu is back again. We welcome Mr. Zhu to give lectures!"
…
…
After the afternoon class, Gongsun Yi left early, while Zhu Hao sat there sickly, closing his eyes to rest.
Several children surrounded Zhu Hao, their concern was palpable. At this moment, Yuan Zonggao led Lu Song into the school building.
"Mr. Yuan."
Several children stood up together to salute Yuan Zonggao.
Yuan Zonggao looked around and asked, "Where is your husband?"
Zhu Sanxin said bluntly: "He leaves right after class. He sneaks away very quickly every time when classes are over. He is also lazy during lectures. He will never speak if Zhu Hao can tell..."
In the past, Zhu San was not so dissatisfied with Gongsun Yi, but this time Zhu Hao stepped forward to help her sister and brother avoid the disaster. She was grateful. Seeing that Gongsun Yi continued to give lectures to Zhu Hao, who had not yet recovered, she felt sad.
He was not angry and ignored the distinction between teachers and students, so he directly complained in front of Yuan Zonggao.
Yuan Zonggao smiled.
Even if Zhu San didn't complain, would he know nothing? He had already sent people to investigate clearly about the situation in the class, and even Gongsun Yi himself did not hide the fact that Zhu Hao usually helped him give lectures.
Because of this, Yuan Zonggao felt that Gongsun Yi was very frank and worth using.
Anyway, there is no suitable replacement at the moment. It would be too troublesome for a few children to adapt to someone else. It would take a long time to check whether it is good or not...
Since Zhu San and Zhu Si are now steadily improving in their studies, there is no need to fiddle around without suitable candidates.
"Zhu Hao, Jinghong, I have something to tell you." Yuan Zonggao explained his purpose.
Zhu San asked: "Mr. Yuan, do you want me and Xiao Si to take A Bing away?"
Yuan Zonggao said: "No, you can just sit in and listen. It's not a big deal, it's just to tell... about Zhu Hao's illness before. After you two leave the palace, don't mention it to your family."
Both Jinghong and Zhu Hao understood why Yuan Zonggao gave this instruction.
Zhu San didn't understand: "Why? Someone is doing something bad to me, why can't I tell outsiders? Let the world know, it's not our palace's fault."
Zhu Si next to him reminded: "Third brother, I think my father and Yuan Changshi mean to ask Zhu Hao to pretend to be me... It's better not to let more people know about your affairs. We are always members of the royal family and the internal affairs of the royal family."
Why should the public know?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhu San pouted, obviously dissatisfied with his brother teaching him a lesson.
Yuan Zonggao looked at Zhu Si with admiration.
At such a young age, he has a different perspective than ordinary children, and he can actually understand the pros and cons behind this matter.
If the content in the class was taught by Zhu Hao, then Gongsun Yi’s teachings should have contributed to these experiences in dealing with people, right?
"Yuan Changshi, actually you don't need to say anything."
Zhu Si looked at Yuan Zonggao sincerely, "Zhu Hao explained it to me before and reminded Jinghong not to tell his family. We all want this matter to settle as soon as possible..."
Yuan Zonggao originally thought that Gongsun Yi still had some abilities, but after listening to Zhu Si's words, he realized that it was because he thought too highly of the young instructor. Even the principles of human conduct were taught by Zhu Hao.
Here, the smile on Yuan Zonggao's face looked slightly depressed.
