Jinyi champion

Chapter 452
It's almost July.

It has been more than four months since the end of the general examination, and the palace examination is still far away. At this time, the date of the emperor's return has not been determined, but there are rumors that the emperor will be captured in Nanjing.

Zhu Hao knew how nonsense this prisoner offering ceremony led by Wang Shouren was. The final result was that Zhu Houzhao had had enough fun in the south, and he was due to return in September...

This involves a major matter that Zhu Hao has been concerned about recently. He has to ensure that the rolling wheel of history will not deviate, so that Zhu Houzhao will follow the historical development and fall into the water and get sick.

Su Xigui had rushed to Nanjing in June.

Huang Zan left for his post one step ahead of Su Xigui.

Before Su Xigui left, he told Zhu Hao a little-known secret, that is, Zhu Houzhao had been taking elixir for a long time, his health was not as good as before, and he had vomited blood in April.

This made Zhu Hao acutely aware that Zhu Houzhao's death was not simply because he fell into the water and contracted an illness. If he contracted a cold and contracted pneumonia and did not die until the spring of the second year, it took more than half a year in the middle, would it be too much? drag?
Obviously before Zhu Houzhao fell into the water, his body showed signs of turning bad, which is why Su Xigui insisted on meeting Zhu Hao before leaving.

"...Zhu Hao, you mean, the emperor's health is not very good?"

When Zhu Hao taught Zhu Si, he didn't mention Zhu Houzhao's vomiting of blood, but only said that his cousin's health was not as good as before because of long-term consumption of elixir provided by Taoism and Buddhism.

This is actually a disguised warning to Zhu Si, planting the stereotype that "the elixir is a medicine for tigers and wolves". his opinion.

Zhu Hao nodded: "I expect that some kind of accident will happen to the emperor on his way back to Beijing, and once he returns to Beijing, his body will be completely devastated... Speaking of which, you will be enthroned as emperor and the lord of Ming Dynasty in less than a year... ..."

"This... can't be accurate, right?"

Zhu Si's eyes widened, apparently not believing it.

After being nurtured by Zhu Hao, the current Zhu Si already has a strong materialistic view, and he is skeptical about the theory of ghosts and gods. Even if this kind of prophecy comes from Zhu Hao's mouth, he dare not fully believe it.

Zhu Hao smiled lightly, and said with the appearance of an expert outside the world: "Just wait, the news should come soon."

……

……

Zhu Hao wants to give Zhu Si a false impression, making him feel that if any accident happens to Zhu Houzhao, it has something to do with his careful planning.

It is tantamount to letting Zhu Si remember his love.

Of course, it is very difficult to convince Zhu Si, and it is even more inadvisable to explain clearly.

It is to create all kinds of illusions, impose various psychological hints on it, let him guess in his mind and gradually deepen this impression. In the end, even if he gets to the bottom of it, Zhu Hao can completely shirk it. I didn't do anything, why do you think so?
Mutual tacit understanding is the best way.

Is Zhu Hao going to tell Zhu Si that I will assassinate the emperor?

Believe it or not, Zhu Si said otherwise, if Zhu Houzhao had no accident, what should he say?Now Zhu Si can't care about it. After he becomes the emperor, won't he send someone to investigate?

If Zhu Hao didn't say anything and just let Zhu Si think so, then even if Zhu Si wanted to find out in the future, he would have no way to find out.

Zhu Hao originally wanted to hold back Zhu Houzhao with Su Xigui's troupe, which he had personally trained, but now it seems that he can't even control Zhu Houzhao's schedule. If Zhu Houzhao wants to complete a certain task at a certain time and in a certain area Certain things are unlikely to happen.

……

……

end of July.

The heat in the capital has just dissipated.

Jiang Lun brought back the news, informing the Ministry of Rites that the ceremony had been played, and asked the emperor to complete the inheritance of King Xing as soon as possible, so that Zhu Si could return to Anlu to take care of King Xing's mansion.

It has been nearly a year since Zhu Si arrived in the capital. The foreign vassals have been in Beijing for a long time, which is not legal in itself. It is convenient and quick to push Zhu Si to the throne, and it is also easy to control.

Now that Emperor Zhengde has made it clear that he will accept captives in Nanjing, Wang Shouren has re-drafted the victory report, recording the achievements of the emperor, Jiang Bin, Zhang Zhong and others in pacifying King Ning. It is no longer necessary for Zhu Si to stay in the capital.

At the beginning, Empress Dowager Zhang felt that King Xing had just died, so it was necessary to suppress Zhu Si appropriately and plant the seeds of fear of the heavenly family and not daring to covet the throne in her heart.

After this year, all parties were stable. Empress Dowager Zhang felt that keeping Zhu Si in the capital was simply superfluous. How could a child threaten her and her son?It is best to release it early, so that it is out of sight.

Under such circumstances, all parties have little interest in whether Zhu Si stays in the capital. On the contrary, some people think that Zhu Si's stay in the capital is a challenge to the imperial power... Since he is not a prince, is it necessary to let the world be born? Staying in the capital is the illusion of being the crown prince?
As King Xing, Zhu Si is just a puppet who comes and goes when the court calls it. Now he feels that it is a burden for Zhu Si to stay in the capital, and the court will not be polite. Hurry up and go back to Anlu, and stay in Anlu City from now on, not being able to go anywhere.

On the second day of August, Zhu Hao met Zhu Wanhong.

Zhu Wanhong didn't mention Zhu's family affairs to Zhu Hao, but warmly congratulated Zhu Haozhong's tribute.

"What has Uncle been doing for the past six months? Is he too busy with business to come see my nephew?"

Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Zhu Wanhong said: "Nephew, even if you will be a Jinshi in the future and become an official in the court, the elders will always be the elders. You must understand the principle of respecting the elders... Oh, the principle of respecting the elders, you should listen to what the elders say, and you should not ask Yes, it's better not to ask."

Seeing that the other party put on airs as soon as he came up, Zhu Hao was amused, and asked: "Then uncle is meeting me?"

"No outside, no outside."

Zhu Wanhong said with a smile, "We are of the same clan, we are close blood relatives, why should we see each other? Recently, uncle's money is tight..."

Zhu Hao interrupted him, shook his head and sighed: "I don't have a lot of money recently, and business is not easy."

Zhu Wanhong asked in surprise: "You can't do business well? I heard that the cloth produced by your workshop is almost sold out in the capital. The quality is cheap and everyone praises it. Where did this cheap and good cloth come from? You said that if the uncle told them...of course the uncle would not say it. The uncle was just making an assumption. If they really knew the inside story, wouldn't you..."

Threat!

The threat of red fruit!

Zhu Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle is not only short of money, but I think he is also short of heart!"

"How do you talk to your elders?"

Zhu Wanhong scolded with a straight face.

Zhu Hao said: "I mean, uncle can gain benefits by divulging this matter, why keep it a secret? I also want to use uncle's mouth to make my cloth famous... I haven't done much in the market recently. The shipment is not because Su Dongzhu took all my goods away, saying that he wanted to transfer them to Jiangnan as military supplies..."

The old and the young talked about the mountains.

Zhu Wanhong found out, why can't he get any cheap money?He hurriedly changed his strategy and said, "Your grandmother has been thinking about getting married for you recently."

Zhu Hao: "..."

The words are not surprising, you talk to me for a long time, and finally you tell me that the Zhu family is going to use the marriage to regain control of me?Tell me sooner!
"Zhu Hao, you don't know how famous you are now. Everyone in the capital knows that you are a young talent, and you have won two yuan in a row... In addition to the previous child entrance examination, you even won five yuan. If you are around twenty years old It may not be surprising that you are a scholar, but you are not very old, so you can be said to be a young man!"

Zhu Hao frowned: "What do you mean, uncle?"

Zhu Wanhong smiled and said: "I mean, if your family arranges for your marriage, if there is a little rumor, there will be a large number of people who will send their daughters who are waiting for you to your door. Every family chooses a son-in-law. You can achieve something in the future, but the future is unpredictable, and you don’t even need to talk about potential here, you will directly become famous, you are a sweet potato, don’t you know?”

Zhu Hao smiled wryly: "I don't need my grandmother to worry about my marriage, right?"

"If the elders don't worry about you, who will worry about it? I know what you think, and I don't support your grandmother's doing this, but your mother... has no knowledge, and the network is not extensive. At most, she can only be in Anlu. Can you compare with the Zhu family? In fact, think about it, it is reasonable for your grandmother to let you marry Ruyi and the beautiful family earlier."

Zhu Wanhong is pure nonsense, but there is some truth in what he said.

To get married these days is definitely the order of the parents. According to the matchmaker, what kind of wife can Anlu marry in such a small place?But in the capital city, with the background of the Zhu family's Jinyiwei family of thousands of households, and his status as Zhu Hao's quasi-jinshi, he can naturally find good people.

"That's right, I heard that even the granddaughter of Lu Shangshu's family wants to marry you." Zhu Wanhong laughed.

When Zhu Hao heard this, he almost vomited blood.

Sure enough, the matter of Lu Wan's marriage was still involving himself, and it was actually the Zhu family who wanted to take the initiative to tie the knot?

Zhu Wanhong sighed: "But everyone knows that Lu Shangshu's life is not long, and most of his family members will be confiscated into officials, so it is said that women and Taoists will never achieve great things. Your grandmother has no foresight on this point."

Zhu Hao frowned: "Uncle is quite well informed..."

"Aren't you well-informed? Uncle knows that Lu Shangshu has at most two or three months to live a good life. Even if he has a secret relationship with Pinrubo, Pinrubo will not help him in this kind of matter, and he will even make things worse. Well, literati are like this, they take you seriously when you are successful, and when you are unlucky, not only will you not help, but you will even step on it."

Zhu Wanhong laughed suddenly, "Look at my nephew, my uncle helped you with the marriage, don't you think..."

After all, it was just for money?
Zhu Hao said: "Uncle, as a thousand households of Jinyiwei, is he so short of money?"

"What happened to Jinyiwei's thousand households? It has nothing to do with lack of money or not. Others can blackmail officials, and some people can flatter them. Maybe there is no shortage of money. You know, uncle, I have nothing to do..."

"Uncle, we are real people, let's just say it."

"Oh, look, Uncle, I'm only responsible for keeping an eye on Prince Xing's mansion. No one is currying favor with me. I have a wife at home but she's old. I don't even have a concubine by my side. I usually have to socialize outside. Isn't that all waste of money? ?"

This is really "direct".

Zhu Hao said: "Okay, I will raise fifty taels of silver when I go back today, and send it to Uncle tomorrow morning, please give me an address."

He said so on his lips, but he was cursing in his heart, damn, he was tricked and abducted by this old guy to go to fifty taels again.
