Chapter 78 The greatest advantage of Prince Zhao is that he listens to advice, and the greatest disadvantage is that he does not change.

King Zhao's face turned green: "Nephew, you are really good at talking."

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but feel good when he saw his third uncle being so uncomfortable. He continued to add insult to injury and said, "Shuntian Mansion has moved in a lot of refugees and businessmen in the past two years, and the dragons and snakes are very mixed. I heard that the third uncle's Chang Shan guards were on the left and right.

It’s been hacked, how about my nephew lend Third Uncle some guards to protect Third Uncle’s safety?”

King Zhao gritted his teeth: "Thank you!"

"No matter how polite you are, we are all one family." Zhu Zhanji said cheerfully.

According to the law of conservation of smile, the smile will not disappear, but will just transfer from King Zhao’s face to Zhu Zhanji’s face. Supplemented by the theory of emotional relativity, Zhu Zhanji is happy and King Zhao is uncomfortable. One positive and one negative, then Zhu Zhanji

Zhanji is double the happiness!

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Zhu Gaojie walked out with dark circles under his eyes like a panda, looking a little tired.

He has been very busy these two days. Although A Qi helped him with the work, King Zhao had been cultivating in Shuntian Mansion for ten years conscientiously. Zhu Gaojie not only had to remove King Zhao's chess pieces, but also replaced them with his own chess pieces every day.

I only slept for two hours and stayed up until dawn.

Not only did King Zhao not mind this, he even helped a lot. This was the old man's instruction. He knew that he could not keep these chess pieces. Now only Zhu Gaojie and the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji can take over the chess pieces in Shuntian Mansion.

Yes, instead of taking advantage of the little boy Zhu Zhanji, of course he chose to give it to King Qi, who had a better relationship with him.

"Fourth Uncle." Zhu Zhanji bowed to Zhu Gaojie and said humbly, "I heard that Fourth Uncle has been very busy recently, but is he short of manpower? There are several subordinate officials in the East Palace working in Shuntian Mansion. If Fourth Uncle needs it, he can directly

Tell me, nephew, and ask them to come over and help you."

On that day of the assassination, Zhu Gaojie was kind to Zhu Zhanji for saving his life.

The East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion were originally allies, and after this incident, the relationship between the two families became even closer. Now that Prince Qi is eradicating King Zhao's influence, Zhu Zhanji is naturally willing to come and help.

"Most of the officials in the East Palace are in Jinling, how can they help?" King Zhao was scolded so harshly by Zhu Zhanji just now, and now he directly replied: "Fourth brother, if you are short of people, please tell me, I am the Prince of Zhao's Mansion

The subordinate officials are well acquainted with each other in Shuntian Mansion."

Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded: Third uncle, are you so cruel? In order to antagonize me, you would not hesitate to do something to yourself?

It has to be you, Prince Zhao!

The most ruthless person in Ming Dynasty!

"Okay, I'm so busy right now, and you're still teasing me here."

Zhu Gaojie rubbed his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Zhanji, "Zhanji, have you finished the homework that Mr. Yang left for you?"

The Mr. Yang he spoke of was Yang Rong, a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy and a bachelor in the cabinet. He was good at martial arts and good at poetry. He was ordered by the emperor to lecture on classics and history to the emperor's grandson, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

The reason why he gained Zhu Di's trust was that Yang Rong was impartial in his work. Even though he also served as the crown prince's right concubine and worked under the crown prince, he never participated in the party struggle between the crown prince and the King of Han.

However, Zhu Gaojie knew that Mr. Yang Rong was really good at playing. This man was born in the Ming Dynasty. If he were born in later generations, he would definitely win the Oscar.

During the Yumuchuan Incident in the 22nd year of Yongle, when Zhu Di died of illness, Yang Rong made a prompt decision to hide the news that Zhu Di had passed away, and rushed thousands of miles back to the capital to help the prince smoothly succeed to the throne.

His true identity has always been an out-and-out princeling.

"Oh, don't mention it." Zhu Zhanji said with a grimace, "Mr. Yang is good at everything, but he is too upright. The emperor asked him to tell me about the classics and history, and he really explained the Four Books and Five Classics without any ambiguity.

They all moved here, and my eyes were blown away when I saw them."

Zhu Gaojie smiled and said: "After all, literati who came from the imperial examination are like this."

The imperial examination was a system for selecting officials through examinations. With more than seven hundred years of development in the Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties, and by the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination system had become a fairly complete system.

Nowadays, the imperial examination style of the Ming Dynasty is eight-legged essay, which is really harmful to people.

The eight-legged essay is divided into several parts: breaking the topic, carrying the topic, starting the story, entering the topic, starting the part, presenting the topic, the middle part, the back part, the end part, and the conclusion. The essence part is the starting part, the middle part, the back part,

These four parts have strict restrictions and cannot be written casually. Parallel couplets must be used. There are eight parts in total, so it is called eight-part essay.

This writing method is very old-fashioned, and one more word is not enough. Many candidates make up random words while writing, just to make up the number of words and achieve the effect of parallelism. On the surface, the text looks very neat, but if you look closely at the content, it is full of nonsense.

It is not only the examinees who suffer, but also the people who set the questions, because the number of words in the Four Books and Five Classics is limited, and the questions for all types of examinations at all levels are drawn from them, and generally the questions that have been written cannot be used again.

So the people who asked the question came up with all kinds of tricks. They separated the upper and lower sentences of the Four Books and Five Classics and used them to write the question separately. For example, they cut off the head and tail of a sentence and only used the middle words to test people.

This kind of sentence makes no sense, and even the person who asked the question doesn't know what it means, let alone the examinee?

Yang Rong was a victim of the Eight-Parted Essay, but this Mr. Yang was not a simple person. He finally understood the Eight-parted Essay. In the second year of Jianwen, he won the third place in the examination of the Ministry of Etiquette and the second place in the imperial examination.

, stand out among millions of people!

"That's alright." The emperor's grandson sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Then my nephew won't bother my fourth uncle anymore and I'll take my leave."

"Slow down on the road." Zhu Gaojie waved goodbye.



After Zhu Zhanji left, Zhu Gaojie looked at King Zhao: "Third brother, are you still worried?"

King Zhao sighed: "It's not like you don't know, I...well, it's okay not to mention it."

Although this disaster was luckily avoided, it also weakened King Zhao's temperament and made him depressed all day long.

The only one who could talk to him now was Zhu Gaojie. When he came to visit, he happened to bump into Zhu Zhanji. He was scolded by this articulate kid, which made King Zhao feel more and more melancholy.

Although he knew that his chances of winning the heir were slim, he was still unwilling to give up.

Prince Zhao's greatest strength is that he listens to advice, but his greatest weakness is that he does not change.

Zhu Gaojie smiled and said, "Let's go and have a drink?"

"I can't drink it, and I feel so worried." King Zhao said depressedly, "Tell me, the old man wants to move the capital. How long have I been working on it? I am the only one working on the Shuntian Mansion, but now he

He turned his back on me and completely uprooted all my family assets in Shuntian Mansion."

Zhu Gaojie smiled and did not continue.

joke!

What you did was to assassinate the king and kill the driver. I was very merciful by not killing you, okay? You are still complaining here!

Don’t you see that Li Chengqian, the former crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, failed in forcing the palace, and was directly deposed as a commoner by Li Shimin and exiled to a borderland. At least you, Prince Zhao, retained the title of prince, had food and drink, and was well taken care of. Why are you complaining?

Zhu Gaojie hugged Prince Zhao's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't think so much, let's go, my brother will get drunk with you today!"
