A eunuch suddenly walked into the palace, holding a memorial and presenting it to the imperial case.
After the imperial examination, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was sitting upright, holding a memorial and looking at it silently, without saying a word for a long time.
Zhu Di was tall and tall, with a slightly dark complexion, but his eyes were as sharp as a piercing eye.
Accompanying Zhu Di was an old monk wearing black clothes. The old monk was calm and calm, and he was quite dignified.
The Wenhua Hall is a side hall, so its layout is not large, but it is exactly where Zhu Di met with his close ministers privately and summoned officials from the Imperial Academy.
As for this old man, he was famous all over the world. He first became a monk with the Buddhist name Daoyan, and then instigated Zhu Di to rebel in Beiping City, and finally Yao Guangxiao ruled the world in one fell swoop.
After Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, he appointed Yao Guangxiao as the Prince's Young Master, and appointed him to be in charge of the Senglu Department. Although his official position was not high, he was a confidant of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, and Yao Guangxiao was involved in many decisions in the world. Therefore,
Among the people, people call this monk the 'Prime Minister in Black'.
After Zhu Di picked up the memorial and glanced at it lightly, his face suddenly darkened, and his sharp eyes were vaguely angry.
This anger disappeared in an instant, and then he threw the memorial on the imperial desk: "The benevolence of the prince's wife, the son is not like the father."
Yao Guangxiao, who was calm and composed, suddenly heard the hidden meaning. Zhu Di was about to conquer the world. He had the same fierce temperament as Taizu Emperor Gao.
However, his evaluation of the prince Zhu Gaochi was a woman's kindness, which obviously made him extremely dissatisfied with the prince.
As for the word "the son is not like the father", it is actually more serious, because the original meaning of this sentence is that the child is not like me...
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, but ignored Zhu Di's complaints.
The matter between their father and son is not something that a monk like me can comment on at will.
However, Zhu Di raised his head, looked at Yao Guang and said Xiao Xiao: "How can a woman be so benevolent that she cannot even discipline her own relatives, how can she control the world?"
If the former son is not like his father and it is just a personal complaint, then how to control the world is related to the issue of the country and the country.
Yao Guang Xiao said: "May I ask Your Majesty, what is said in the memorial?"
Zhu Di saw that he finally spoke up and seemed to have found a resonance, so he snorted coldly: "The Jin Yiwei reported that the prince indulged his wife's brother, and this man not only had no intention of studying, was stubborn, but also domineering, because he took advantage of the power of the East Palace.
Everyone avoids him like a snake or a scorpion."
A young man is messing around... In fact, Yao Guangxiao doesn't care. After all, he is just a relative of the emperor. How many relatives of the emperor will be said to be good people in this world?
Yao Guangxiao was more concerned about the information reported by Jin Yiwei. It was obvious that most of the military officials of Jin Yiwei were Zhu Di's personal soldiers and were deeply trusted by Zhu Di. At the beginning, these soldiers also followed Han King Zhu Gaoxu to fight. It can be said that they had a history.
The friendship of fate.
And now the Jin Yiwei is secretly reporting the prince's relatives for wrongdoing. There must be something complicated behind this.
It's just that Yao Guangxiao is a very smart person and he doesn't want to get involved. Yao Guangxiao said: "The emperor's relatives are lawless and should not be arrogant."
Zhu Di nodded, with a cold face, and said calmly: "Let the prince be ordered to discipline him strictly. If he can't handle such small things, then I will take care of it myself."
Yao Guangxiao nodded.
But Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "I have never seen such a wicked young man!"
Just as he was talking, a eunuch hurried in from outside and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Academy is offering wine to Hu Yan to see you."
Zhu Di closed the memorial and kept silent, but He Yao and Guangxiao looked at each other, seeming to be thinking, why did he come to see him?
Zhu Di said: "Pass it in."
Hu Yan was a great Confucian who was famous all over the world, and he was honest and magnanimous in dealing with others, so Zhu Di also thought highly of him.
Just a moment later, he saw Hu Yan quickly entering the palace. He was not as calm as before. As soon as he saw Zhu Di, he immediately bowed down and said breathlessly: "I have met your majesty, Hu Yan."
"No gifts for the Qing family." Zhu Di forced a smile and found that Hu Yan was a little different from before.
"Your Majesty, I am here to ask Your Majesty to show mercy and allow me to resign from my duties as a teacher to the children of honorable ministers."
Zhu Di's face changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Why, what happened?"
Hu Yan couldn't stand it any longer: "Your Majesty...I can't teach you anything. These children are all naughty. A few days ago...Zhu Yong, the son of Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, actually came to my back house...and stole my chicken."
…”
Zhu Di's face was slightly ugly, but he calmed down and said, "The child is acting up, you are a great sage, you don't need to keep this in mind."
When Hu Yan heard this, his heart dropped. This was not your chicken that was stolen, right?
Then he added: "What's even more annoying is...that Zhang Fu..."
Upon hearing Zhang Fu, Zhu Di's expression changed again.
That boy...Zhu Di has been paying attention. Zhang Fu's father is Zhang Yu. During the Jingnan War, Zhu Di was heavily surrounded by the army. Zhang Yu pretended to be Zhu Di to attract the enemy troops and rescued Zhu Di. And there he was.
Zhang Yu died in the battle.
It can be said that Zhu Di's life was almost saved by Zhang Yu. Without Zhang Yu, Zhu Di would not be what he is today. After Zhang Yu died in the battle, there were only a few children left behind. Zhang Fu was the youngest, and of course Zhu Di valued him very much.
"What's up with him?"
"He is the most unscrupulous person. I went to the latrine without incident, but he actually used firecrackers to blow up the feces..."
Zhu Di: "..."
"Your Majesty, I can't control it anymore. At that time, I was really polite and swept the floor. My whole body was covered with excrement... I have never been insulted like this."
When Zhu Di heard this... he jumped up and couldn't help but cursed: "I really can't imagine that there is anyone worse than Zhang Anshi in the world! This kid Zhang Fu, and that Zhu Yong... Qing family... don't worry
...I will never tolerate them!"
Hu Yan wanted to say something more.
Zhu Di lost his composure and winked, and Hu Yan resigned helplessly.
As soon as Hu Yan left, Zhu Di glanced at Yao Guangxiao and said angrily: "The descendants of Xunchen have been corrupted so much. I thought... Zhang Anshi was hopeless. Who would have thought... there could be something worse."
Yao Guangxiao also frowned: "Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial. If you just sit back and ignore it, in the future..."
Zhu Di's narrow eyes slightly closed: "Hu Yan is gentle and courteous, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with these brats. You should go there and check them carefully to see how they behave. At the same time, also
I still don’t believe it when you pick out a few top-notch ones. Among so many disciples, there isn’t even one top-notch one.”
Yao Guangxiao was the chief planner and driving force behind the original Jingnan Campaign. Not to mention those young men, even their fathers would be trembling in front of Yao Guangxiao. For Zhu Di, it was most suitable for Yao Guangxiao to go.
Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly and said, "Yes."
…………
Zhang Anshi has slowly adapted to his current life. He lives outside the East Palace, but his brother-in-law, the prince, sends people to check on him almost every day.
This gave Zhang Anshi some peace of mind.
It's another early morning dawn.
Zhang Anshi’s eleventh day as a new man.
He vaguely felt that with his own efforts, his reputation was gradually improving.
very good.
At this time, we must be humble and not be proud.
Today is the time for admission again. Zhang Anshi set off for the school under the arrangement of Zhang San.
After meeting Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong, Zhu Yong said excitedly: "Brother, look what the third brother has brought."
Zhang Anshi lowered his head and saw Zhang Fu took out a large bag of stuff from his sleeve, opened a corner, and a black stuff was exposed, and then stuffed it back immediately. After looking around, he started to giggle.
