Prince of Chaos

Chapter 499 The father and the emperor really don't know how to write poetry
The next morning.

In the Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo was holding the memorial on Shen Shixing. At the beginning, he was also surprised why Shen Shixing resigned as chief assistant at this time.

However, after Zhu Changluo thought about it calmly for a while, Zhu Changluo finally understood what Shen Shixing was thinking.

It turned out that shishixing was afraid.

Not only was he afraid of those civil servants who were barking and biting, but he was also afraid that one day he would be boiled to death by his crown prince and kicked out as a target for all the courtiers to vent their anger on.

That's why he chose to retreat bravely when it was obvious that he had the chance to win.

After guessing Shen Shixing's mood, Zhu Changluo sighed softly in his heart.

"It turns out that Gu is also a loner, and he has already begun to make his subjects fear the future."

Zhu Changluo put this booklet into his sleeve, and he wanted to pass this booklet to Emperor Wanli for a look.

Although Emperor Wanli would not say anything, Shen Shixing was also one of Emperor Wanli's most respected teachers after all.

Now, apart from Zhang Taiyue who had overturned, in Emperor Wanli's heart, only Shen Shixing was his favorite teacher.

Now that his teacher has made up his mind to resign as chief assistant, Zhu Changluo wants to bring this news to Emperor Wanli, so that Emperor Wanli can appreciate their master-student relationship and the friendship between monarch and minister.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to Xishan Huangzhuang alone."

Zhu Changluo didn't plan to deal with the next political affairs today.

Because, now that the biggest thing has come out, he has to push everything away now, and then specialize in this one thing.

After Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo's will, he immediately and skillfully prepared Zhu Changluo's traveling convoy.

Zhu Changluo was sitting in the carriage, and he was also thinking about the candidates for the chief assistant after Shen Shi left.

Judging from the current situation, after Shen Shi left, Wang Xijue would naturally become the chief assistant of the cabinet.

However, after going through several turmoil, Wang Xijue's prestige is now flawed. He is too close to the military officer, and he is no longer tolerated by the Wenchen Group.

Even if he is allowed to be the first assistant, he is only a transitional first assistant and will not last long.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo must find a way to stabilize the cabinet and choose a chief assistant who can not only continue to control, but also allow all parties in the DPRK and China to compromise.

As for Wang Jiaping.

In any case, Zhu Changluo would not let him be the chief assistant.

Because this person is really disobedient, Zhu Changluo has only supervised the country for one year, and his foundation is not deep enough, and there are still too few officials who have been promoted by his favor.

If Wang Jiaping is allowed to ascend to the position of first assistant, it will definitely hinder Zhu Changluo's subsequent governance.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo had to think about the candidates for the new cabinet ministers at this time.

While Zhu Changluo was still thinking about the candidates for the chief assistant in the future, his motorcade went to Xishanhuangzhuang in the wind and snow, and the carriage also stopped at the entrance of the hot spring villa smoothly.

When the guards and eunuchs guarding the gate of the Hot Spring Villa saw that it was the crown prince's car, they immediately knelt on the ground, bowing their heads to welcome Zhu Changluo's arrival.

Zhu Changluo got off the carriage and walked into the hot spring villa. The moment he entered, Zhu Changluo said, "Get up."

Now Zhu Changluo is already very proficient in being a feudal nobleman, and he has reached the level of doing whatever he wants with the eunuchs and guards at the bottom.

Zhu Changluo walked quickly into the villa.

At this moment, Emperor Wanli was wearing a loose and soft cotton robe and sitting on a reclining chair. While enjoying the service of the court ladies, he was leisurely admiring the snow scene outside the large French windows.

"Father."

Zhu Changluo came in to salute.

After Emperor Wanli heard Zhu Changluo's voice, he immediately put down the sparkling water in his hand, and said, "Chang Luo is here."

"Come here and see how this red plum blossom is outside? I planted it last year, and this year's plum blossoms are in full bloom."

Zhu Changluo followed the eyes of Emperor Wanli and looked out the window at the red plum tree standing proudly in the snow in front of the screen wall with the artistic conception of southern gardens among the rockery piled up in Taihu Lake.

He said to Emperor Wanli: "Father has a very good vision. This red plum blossoms alone in the cold, reflecting the scenery outside, which adds a lot of color to this courtyard."

When Emperor Wanli heard that Zhu Changluo also liked this red plum, he smiled happily, "It's tasteful! This is the effect I have had to trim several times in the wind and snow. Looking at this red plum, my mood much better."

"I have been thinking about what kind of poem I want to write to praise this red plum. But after thinking about it, all the poems and artistic conceptions I can think of have been written by the ancient sages. You came just in time. You help me think about it too."

When Zhu Changluo heard the request from Emperor Wanli, he was stunned.

Isn't this embarrassing?Where can he write any poems.

Zhu Changluo replied: "Father, my son can't write poems."

Emperor Wanli was not happy.

"Don't you want to lie to me, isn't you the one who wrote the famous poem of seeking talents from the capital that is 'referring talents without sticking to one pattern'? It's very well written, and I like it very much."

When Zhu Changluo heard that Emperor Wanli mentioned the poem of "degrading talents without sticking to one pattern", Zhu Changluo's head became dizzy.

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, that poem is really written by someone else."

Emperor Wanli didn't believe it.

Emperor Wanli said: "Then you can listen to another poem about plum blossoms."

Zhu Changluo heard such willful words from Emperor Wanli.He was also defeated by Emperor Wanli.

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, let my son think about it."

When Emperor Wanli heard that Zhu Changluo wanted to write a poem about plum blossoms, he shouted excitedly: "Chen Ju, go prepare the Four Treasures of the Study!"

After Chen Ju heard Emperor Wanli's will, he immediately prepared a set of Four Treasures of the Study and brought them here.

Zhu Changluo looked at the red plums outside, and he was also scratching his head thinking about the small inventory in his stomach.

To be honest, if he was really asked to write, all he could do was copy it.

Otherwise, at his level, he would definitely not be able to write a brilliant plum poem.

At this moment, when Zhu Changluo was racking his brains to copy a song about plum blossoms, the wind outside suddenly shook the branch of red plums that was left behind and independent. This scene is really beautiful.

This plum blossom seemed to come alive, like a pure and cold beauty, suddenly smiled at Zhu Changluo.

At this moment, Zhu Changluo finally had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of an extremely brilliant poem about plums.

Zhu Changluo walked to the case that Chen Ju had prepared. He picked up a brush and dipped ink into the inkstone. Then, he began to recall the lines of the poem, brewing his emotions, and wrote on the pure white rice paper.

Zhu Changluo wrote: "Bu operator."

Chen Ju read it softly. When Emperor Wanli heard that it was the name of a song poem, he immediately thought of a poem of the same name by Lu Fangweng. However, the mood of that poem was low, which obviously did not fit the current atmosphere.

But Emperor Wanli didn't disturb Zhu Changluo's train of thought. He waved his hand and signaled the eunuch beside him to help him up. He wanted to go over and see what kind of poem Zhu Changluo would write.

At this moment, I saw Zhu Changluo writing again, and wrote the word "Yongmei".

Although these two characters are common, but combined with the low-key style of Bu Suanzi's words, Emperor Wanli became even more curious. Curious, what kind of poem about plums would Zhu Changluo write, but he still wrote it in Bu Suanzi.
