Jinyi champion

Chapter 348
In the afternoon, Zhu Hao accompanied Tang Yin, Zhang Zuo and others to the gate of the city to meet Zhang Jingming, the left chief of Xingwang's residence.

This is a skinny looking old man, his appearance is unattractive, giving people a feeling of sluggishness that can hardly open his eyes, or Zhang Jingming has kept the system in recent years, and he is less exposed to meat, and he is close to sixty years old. Such a big ambition and ambition, so the whole person's spirit is not good.

Unlike Yuan Zonggao and his family who moved to Anlu, Zhang Jingming came alone this time, except for a few servants and guards who went to meet the escort, his wife and children were not with him.

"Zhang Changshi's spirit is no less than back then."

Zhang Zuo greeted him warmly, and he could tell at a glance that he had a good relationship with Zhang Jingming.

"This is Chu Yu, a Juren from Liuzhou, Guangxi, who served twice as an instructor." Zhang Jingming introduced it on his behalf.

The visitor saluted Zhang Zuo respectfully, and he couldn't help being surprised when he learned from Zhang Zuo that the little old man standing beside him who looked slightly younger than him was Tang Yin.

I thought that my qualifications were very strong, but before I entered the palace, I found out that the famous Tang Bohu was working as a teacher in the palace.
"This is Zhu Hao, a son of the Zhu family from a thousand households in Jinyiwei. His father died in order to put down the chaos in the Central Plains. After I became loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he has passed the government examination and won the county's first case. It is expected that... he will be able to enter school next year. .”

Zhang Zuo made a further introduction with a smile.

Chu Yu nodded slightly at Zhu Hao.

Although it is strange that such a young child can be admitted to the first case of the county, I guess it may have something to do with the secret operation of Xingwang's mansion, but he is a teacher after all, and he usually sees a sea of ​​students. You must show the majesty of a teacher.

Zhu Hao observed Chu Yu carefully.

Very ordinary, judging from his benevolent features and lack of murderous intent, he may not be as rigorous as Fan Yikuan in terms of academic rigor, but he has no deep acquaintances and I don't know the details. Thinking about it, even if this person may not be very talented, at least he is a great Confucian, so he cannot be underestimated.

As far as Zhu Hao knew, Chu Yu really existed in history.

According to the [-]th year of Qianlong, Wang Jin, editor of the Hanlin Academy and inspector of Youjiang Road in Guangxi, compiled the "Liuzhou Fu Zhi": "Chu Yu, a native of Liucheng, a native of Gengzi Juren of Chenghua. He is the long history of Xing Wangfu, Qing Gao Keep your duties, return to your home after the term expires, and will not be re-appointed. Sejong has been recruited repeatedly to inherit the Datong, but he has not returned."

Now Zhu Hao finally knows that this local chronicle is obviously wrong.

Shi Naizheng, the official position of the fifth rank of the palace chief, cannot hold the post unless he is a Jinshi, and the chief minister of the palace is between the Beijing official and the local official. to level four.

Just like Yuan Zonggao, as the official history of the five-rank Xing Wangfu, he served as the third-rank Jiangxi inspector, and he was promoted to four ranks in a row. The factor of not being promoted is inside.

"Zhang Changshi, Yuan Changshi has something to do today, and he couldn't come to greet him in person, why don't we go back to the palace and talk about it? After meeting the prince, I'll wait for a good drink, and I won't return if I don't get drunk... You don't know, the palace is very lively today. , just like Chinese New Year, haha."

Zhang Zuo is very enthusiastic.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is the kind of good old man who is easy to talk about everything, and he is not at all as scheming and greedy as he appears in private.

……

……

The party went into the city in a horse-drawn carriage.

Zhu Hao and Tang Yin rode together.

Zhu Hao asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Yin shook his head: "It's nothing, whether it's Zhang Changshi or Chu Jiaoxi, they both seem to be pretty good, but I don't know if there will be any suspicions in the future... Anyway, I can save a lot of money by teaching the son in the future."

"hey-hey."

Zhu Hao couldn't stop laughing.

"You're not coming up with any bad ideas again, are you? The palace has been tossed a lot by you. Recently, you should restrain yourself, so that you don't really get kicked out of the palace early in the end. Studying in the palace... is better than hanging around outside, here It’s a good place to study with peace of mind.”

Tang Yin was still teaching Zhu Hao earnestly.

But he also knew that these words were meaningless.

The carriage arrived at the main gate of the palace.

Yuan Zonggao took people out of the palace to greet him, and the party exchanged polite greetings for a long time.

After entering the palace, Lu Song, who was coming towards him, was in charge of calling the guards to open the way. After welcoming Yuan Zonggao and others into the inner courtyard, Lu Song did not go in with Tang Yin, but stayed beside Zhu Hao.

"Lu Dianzhan won't go in and have a look?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Lu Song shook his head: "My responsibilities do not include entry... Young Master Zhu, have you met the new teacher? How do you feel?"

Zhu Hao didn't expect that Lu Song cared so much about the new teacher in the palace, probably because the other party was his son's teacher, and the parents naturally wanted to know his true level earlier.

Zhu Hao pouted: "I don't see anything special about it, probably all famous Confucians look like this."

Lu Song laughed when he heard this.

The two walked to the west courtyard together, and along the way, they found that the guards and servants of the palace were preparing for the banquet that day to celebrate Zhang Jingming's return to the palace. The chicken, duck and fish were sent to the kitchen in pots. Up and down is like Chinese New Year.

"By the way, Lu Dianzhan, what happened to the matter of grabbing the land with Prince Xiang's Mansion?" Zhu Hao asked.

There was a touch of contempt on Lu Song's face.

"Prince Xing's mansion is full of warriors. Prince Xiang's mansion is not strong enough. It is obvious that they just want to make trouble. The dispute between the fields involves open swords and guns... Before we can make a move, they slipped away and haven't resurfaced since then."

Zhu Haodao: "I'm afraid that someone in the court will secretly instigate Prince Xiang's Mansion to fight against Prince Xing's Mansion, and make a sudden attack... I should be more prepared. If something happens, the court will not take sides just because the land is a gift from the Holy One."

Lu Song nodded thoughtfully, "I will remember it."

……

……

Zhang Jingming's return to the Xing Palace did not cause any big waves, and there seemed to be no sign of a new official taking office. He was even more low-key than Yuan Zonggao's return to the Palace in the first year.

As for Chu Yu, on the second day after entering the palace, he went to the school dormitory of Xikuayuan to attend classes.

Judging from the teaching quality...it's pretty average, almost at the same level as Sui Gongyan.

Not to mention Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin who had just returned to the palace for class, even the children Zhu San and Zhu Si felt drowsy after hearing this.

Back when Fan Yikuan entered the palace, although he was strict in teaching, fortunately, he had that kind of personality that was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. After establishing friendship with Tang Yin, he got the lesson plan from Tang Yin and mastered it well...

The current Chu Yu is obviously an important person invited by the chief secretary of Xing Wang's mansion to come back to check and balance Tang Yin. Hao and Tang Yin's teaching methods are not realistic at all.

"Mr. Xin is so boring, what kind of crap are you talking about? I have fallen asleep several times!"

After school in the morning, Chu Yu left first.

Even though Zhu San was a "bad student" in class, he could feel that the new teacher's level was quite average, so he couldn't help but tease him.

Zhu Si packed up his books and made a grimace: "Third sister, just be content, it's hard to invite such a gentleman outside... He's a juror anyway, do you think everyone is like Mr. Tang and Zhu Hao, Can you explain the Four Books and Five Classics to the point where it is easy to understand?"

Zhu San smiled and looked at Zhu Hao: "Then why do you invite me, sir? It's not bad to let this scoundrel teach us directly."

"Ah."

This time, Jing Hong next to him nodded in agreement.

From Jinghong’s point of view, the new gentleman doesn’t know what to say. The gap between me and Zhu Hao is huge. I can learn from Zhu Hao and Tang Yin. I still have the opportunity to learn from him. If I keep listening to the new teacher For those who care about it, it is estimated that my life is over.

Zhu Sandao: "Xiao Si, you go and tell your father to replace this unqualified gentleman."

"never mind."

Zhu Si evaded, "Mr. Chu was specially invited by Mr. Yuan. Mr. Zhang has also returned to the palace now. I still want to live a stable life for a few days... I don't want to cause trouble."

Now Zhu Sixue is smarter.

If you go to talk to Zhu Youzhao about changing teaching, or praise Zhu Hao and Tang Yin, Zhu Youzhao will definitely tell Yuan Zonggao, and Yuan Zonggao will try every means to add homework and exam items to him, and "punish" him in the name of caring about his studies.

Even the young Zhu Si can understand that it is not suitable to help Tang Yin and Zhu Hao now, and he has to follow Yuan Zonggao's wishes...

King Xing's Mansion began to involve.

Zhu Hao muttered, maybe it was because Tang Yin and I broke history that the atmosphere in Prince Xing's mansion began to turn bad.

……

……

Fast forward to October.

Chu Yu taught in the palace for nearly a month.

During this period of time, Chu Yu basically did not ask about Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin's schoolwork. It may be that Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Jingming explained to him that Zhu Hao and Yuan Rulin are two children who are going to take the college entrance examination, and Zhu Hao's husband is still Tang Yin. Chu Yu does not want to teach Zhu Hao was knowledgeable, and was mistakenly thought that he was going to snatch Tang Yin's "high apprentice".

And he himself entered the palace just to give lessons to the prince, and his lectures belonged to the type of "the master is the master, and the students are the students". He only completed his own part of the lecture, and it didn't even matter whether Zhu Si learned it. Do not ask.

It may also be that he is afraid of his status as the heir of the royal family. It is good that he is not targeted for teaching such children. The teaching is completely for business.

At this moment, Jiang Lun from the capital sent back a message.

The royal study.

Zhu Youzhu specially called Yuan Zonggao, Zhang Jingming, Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin, and even some officials of the palace were present, and talked about the latest situation reported from the capital.

"...It's like this, Mr. Jiang said, what we paid tribute to the palace, those one hundred glazed beads, are now regarded as rare treasures by the palace. Only those close to your majesty who are favored will reward one or two, while the inner palace The concubines and deacons are all proud to receive the glazed beads bestowed by the emperor..."

Zhang Zuo conveyed the information in Jiang Lun's letter.

The people present looked at each other in blank dismay.

A month ago, when Zhu Hao took out a hundred marbles as a tribute, everyone thought it was too childish. At that time, King Xing felt that it was a bit overwhelming to give only one jade ruyi, so he took the one A hundred marbles were sent to the capital.

Who would have thought that this gift of... Yu Ruyi did not cause any disturbance, but marbles, which became the precious jewels admired by the emperor, so who can I ask for reasoning?
