Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 122 Zhu Houcong Goes to Xuanmiao Temple
Qin Shao was speechless.

He had just passed the Xiucai exam, and before he could catch his breath, someone urged him behind him, and he didn't know if it was luck or misfortune!

"The township exam is only taken in the next year, so I can finally take a breather, let's rest for a while before I talk about it!"

Qin Shao really wanted to take a breath. Studying wasn't too hard, but the exam room was too grueling. It was really unbearable to look back.

I heard that the examination room of the township examination is even worse than that, and it is tiring to think about it.

"You kid, do you know what the newly admitted scholars are doing? They all go to the academy to study! Many people don't plan to take the next year's exam, and they have already started to study hard! It's good for you, I haven't thought about whether to take the exam or not. Good! How many people want to have such an opportunity, but you don't know how to cherish it!"

Zhu Youtang was originally in a good mood, but now he was suddenly depressed, and even wanted to be irritable.

His son wanted his mother and concubine to come out, and played tricks one after another.

In desperation, he had no choice but to hide in this Xuanmiao temple and let them reunite.

As long as you don't engage in smoky Taoism and alchemy, you can do anything else.

A child can't be disciplined in a day. I have assigned homework for him, so take your time!

"I didn't say I wouldn't take the exam. I'll read the books and study after a few days. It's good to be admitted to Juren. I heard that you can get nearly a hundred mu for free!"

Qin Shao thought it was quite attractive.

"Look at how promising you are! First-rank officials can still be exempted from tax!"

Zhu Youtang was so angry that he didn't want to speak anymore.

"A high-ranking official can be exempted from taxation for thousands of acres?"

Qin Shao was so surprised!He didn't expect so many!
The old man Zhu didn't tell himself, and the policy of the court sometimes changes.

The old man Zhu is also a child of a family. He always thinks that money is a thing, and reading is a holy thing. How can it always be linked to money!

He said this on King Xing's side, so he didn't dare to say so much to old man Zhu, that old man was too serious!

After knowing the identity of King Xing before, he was a little restrained.

Now that the distance is getting closer, Qin Shao feels that there is not much restraint between himself and King Xing, and there is no interest relationship involved, and there is a sense of forgetting the relationship between each other.

"Don't be surprised, look at your worthless appearance! Don't you only care about making money and buying land?"

"A person must first have money and land to live, to provide food and clothing, and to think about desires. I haven't thought so much yet!"

"You... can you stop being so mundane in your eyes? This king is saying that you are a bit smart, you are good at reading, and you can do business. People... People are also considered decent. Apart from loving a little money, In fact, you are suitable to be an official, to benefit the common people."

"What? I'm an official? Are you kidding me, my lord? I'm a person who doesn't like to be bound. I also told my lord before that my ambition is to make enough money, have a lot of land, and then enjoy the great Ming landscape!"

Qin Shao said enthusiastically.

"This king understands your thoughts. When I was young, I also had such a dream. It's just that the more capable a person is, the more responsibility he should take to respond. The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility! If you are successful, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone. There are still many weak people in this world. When we have the ability, we should do what we can for those people.”

"My lord, is this why you are clearly a vassal and should not be involved in political affairs, but you would rather take the risk of getting ahead and do so much for Anlu Prefecture?"

Even though Qin Shao is not the great kind of person, in his dictionary, the most important thing is to live well.

In his previous life, he didn't want much, but because of his own weakness, nothing belonged to him.

His goal in reliving his life is to live a good life for himself, as for other things, he has never thought so much.

But for those who can do things for others and help the weak in the world, he also appreciates from the bottom of his heart.

This is also the reason why he is willing to get closer to King Xing. There are several reasons for taking advantage of the situation, and the more reason is that he still admires this person very much.

"I just did what I was supposed to do. The Ming Dynasty belongs to the Zhu family. As a descendant of the Zhu family, I have enjoyed this prosperity, so I should pay more. What's more, I still have those abilities. You are a smart man." Young man, your abilities and brains are different from ordinary people, since you have the ability to enter the officialdom, how can you enjoy the court benefits without worrying about benefiting the common people in the world?"

Qin Shao looked at King Xing and understood that this person is a responsible person, but this era does not allow people like him to take on this responsibility, and he can only focus on the mountains and rivers.

Seeing that he still has some abilities, he couldn't help lobbying himself.

This is because he wants to contribute to his old Zhu's family!

People from the old Zhu's family seem to be naturally strong, naturally like to command others, and others have some ability to help them become officials, a model of natural moral kidnapping.

Zhu Yuanzhang was like this back then, and the person he liked had to be an official.

There is a man named Xia Boqi in Guixi, who has some small talents. During the war, he simply hid in the countryside to teach.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to come out to be an official after the peace of the world, but he didn't want to do it, and thought it would be good to put his affection on the countryside.

Lao Zhu sent someone to call him, and he and his nephew simply chopped off the thumb finger of their left hand to prove that they were disabled and could not accept the "recommendation".

When Lao Zhu found out, he was furious. Not only did he arrest Lao Xia and his nephew, but he also "ordered him to destroy the whole family"!
Not only did they chop off the heads of those two people, but they also ransacked their homes!

It's so cruel!
Old Zhu can't be ruthless, and he has a plausible saying: In the voice of others, parents can only give birth to their bodies, and their lives are in the king's hands.

That is to say: Ladies and gentlemen, your parents only bore you burdens, and I will judge your life and death!
Not beating around the bush means:
I, Old Zhu, are more important than your parents, and my Ming Dynasty is even more important. Without me, Ming Dynasty, there would be no you. You dare to disobey the emperor’s order. You deserve to die.
The Zhu family was born to be unreasonable and strong, and the vassal kings were educated in the same way.

Qin Shao felt that King Xing was reasonable, but he was very persistent in the matter of becoming an official, which was worse than Lao Zhu's over-the-top.

"I will naturally go to take the exam later on. Don't worry, my lord. Let's play chess! Play chess! Hahaha!"

……

Xingwangfu.

"Mother, you have suffered!"

Zhu Houcong looked at the emaciated Concubine Jiang of Xing, and said tearfully.

"Xiao'er, how are you these days?"

Jiang hugged her son and wept uncontrollably.

From the birth of this son to the age of 13 now, she has hardly left for a day. This son is her own life.

Although the son is almost "adult" now, he is still like a child in her eyes.

"Mother and concubine, don't cry! My father has gone to Xuanmiao Temple. My father must have given in. It is estimated that leaving is for us to meet. You can lift the ban early."

Zhu Houcong was a little embarrassed.

"Xiao'er, has your father visited the Wang family these days?"

"Yes...sometimes I will go! What does the concubine mother mean by asking this? Shanhua is gone, the side concubine is in a bad mood, and the father is just going to comfort me."

"Xiao'er, you are so stupid! You...you are not in good health, I...I am worried that your father and king have other ideas. Your parents are just forty, and the Wang family is still young, younger than the queen mother. have kids……"

Jiang's eyes were full of anger.

Her father, Jiang Yan, doted on concubines, but her mother didn't care too much about it, she always felt that her aunt gave birth to a concubine, so there was nothing to worry about.

Who would have thought that his elder brother fell ill and died, and his mother would not be able to reproduce.

Since then, the aunt and the younger brother have been riding on their necks, and the life of the mother has been very difficult.

I am less run on and tortured by that aunt.

Fortunately, I have become Princess Xing, and I can occasionally suppress that aunt, so my mother's life will be easier.

A few years ago, my mother passed away, and my father even raised my aunt as the main wife.

She wanted to stop it, but she didn't expect her father to report it directly to the prince.

The prince feels that his mother has passed away, and that family has no relationship with her too much, so he shouldn't be obsessed with the small things in the past.

With King Xing's attitude towards things, how could she expect him?
"Mother, don't worry, my father is very good to me now. He even taught me to read and write, and gave me homework every day. My health is getting better now. With time, I will be strong and strong!"

"You have lifted the ban now, and you can move around freely. If you need anything, let the servants help you. I will go to Xuanmiao Temple to see my father in these two days!"

Zhu Houcong said.

Earlier, I didn't feel that the concubine was nagging, but now I feel that she is really too worried.

The master told him that his father actually placed great hopes on him, as long as he studied hard and practiced calligraphy, his father would love him!

The homework that his father assigned to him earlier has been finished, and tomorrow he will take it to the Xuanmiao Temple for his father to have a look at!
