Chapter 127 Different thoughts
Zhu Biao stepped out of the imperial study room in a little confusion. The breeze blew by and made him wake up a lot. He shook his head with a smile and planned to go back to the East Palace, but when he thought that he hadn't told his teacher, he had to go there again.
Although you can ask people around you to pass on a message, but Song Lian is his teacher after all, and he is dedicated to him. Zhu Biao should tell him in person whether he is emotional or reasonable.
Walking all the way to Song Lian's house, the rest of the people knew that the prince came to find his teacher, so naturally they didn't come out to join in the fun.
Zhu Biao and Song Lian sat down after meeting each other. Song Lian knew that the matter had failed when he saw Zhu Biao's appearance. It's better to be fair, and I can't blame the southern scholars for learning well."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Master Song, it's just you and my master and apprentice here, so why bother to cover up for me? It's true that I didn't think carefully about this matter."
Song Lian frowned: "Your Highness, I don't want you to admit your mistakes to anyone. As a king, you can know your mistakes and correct them, but you must never admit your mistakes unless it is absolutely necessary.
Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment. He had heard this sentence before in his previous life, but at that time he thought it was quite secondary.
Song Lian looked into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You are the crown prince and the hope of Ming Dynasty's future. You have carried the fate of many people on your body since you were born. Up to now, all the officials of the Eastern Palace in the court include the generals who accompanied you in the Northern Expedition. We will never allow you to have any flaws on your body, you will definitely be the destiny."
Zhu Biao looked at the fanatical Song Lian, and suddenly felt that he hadn't understood anything for more than ten years. He thought he didn't have much power in the court, but in fact, all the officials were watching him silently.
Zhu Biao nodded slowly, and then talked to Song Lian about the imperial examination. Since it is necessary to obtain a fair imperial examination, it is natural to have some requirements for the degree of difficulty, and Song Lian also recovered his elegant demeanor.
After discussing for a while, the master and apprentice, Zhu Biao got up and left, and he would not come again until the exam started.
All the way back to the East Palace, Zhu Biao was also hungry, so he ordered Nuanyu to serve him, and let Liu Jin and the others go to eat. Liu Jin was not polite, and said that the servants would be back in a while, and then left.
Zhu Biao has already eaten his meal. The craftsmanship of the imperial dining room is good. Zhu Biao is not a picky person. He is very satisfied with three dishes and one soup. Of course, according to his status, a meal is worth eight or nine dishes. The dishes are also basic, but my mother has always advocated frugality, and Zhu Biao, as a son, naturally has to support it.
Before Zhu Biao finished eating, Liu Jin came back to serve. Zhu Biao put down his chopsticks after taking a bite of the five-flavored steamed chicken: "Are you full? What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Liu Jin took the white jade three-pole soup handed over by the maid, and brought it to Zhu Biao after feeling the temperature. This is used to relieve greasy and oily.
Liu Jin put it down and took two steps back before speaking: "The servant ate a bowl of rice, and then came back with two pieces of cake. Now the servant will lose his appetite if he doesn't see you for a while."
Zhu Biao shook his head with a smile. He believed what Liu Jin said. If Song Lian was just a little fanatical, then Liu Jin really worshiped him as a **** in his heart.
This is also the reason why Zhu Biao appreciates and reuses Liu Jin. No matter how good the superficial work is, it is easy to be seen through. Only by dedicating yourself wholeheartedly can you gain the trust of others.
Liu Jin, a personal **** like Liu Jin, has nowhere to go, and the honor and disgrace of his life are firmly tied to Zhu Biao.
After a while, Liu An from outside came in and reported: "Master, Zhan Shicheng and Yang Xian are asking to see you."
Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhan Shicheng and Yang Xian. He even forgot that Yang Xian was still a subject of his East Palace. "
Yang Xian held a stack of papers and said to Zhu Biao: "I have counted the candidates who came to rush for the exam. So far, there are 635 students from the north and 1,743 students from the south. They have all been arranged centrally, and the specific accounts will be handed over to His Highness later."
Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction and praised: "Yang Youcheng is worthy of being a famous official and capable minister. You have done a good job in this matter, and you have worked hard."
Yang Xian said with a smile: "As an official of the Eastern Palace, it is right for the minister to serve His Highness, so there is no such thing as hard work."
The two chatted cordially for a while, and Yang Xian had a lot of official duties, so he took the initiative to leave. Zhu Biao also showed him face, stood up and asked Liu Jin to send him out of the East Palace.
After he left, Zhu Biao picked up the papers that recorded the names and places of origin of the candidates. There are more than a thousand scholars in the south than in the north, and not only the quantity, but also the quality should be much higher.
However, there is nothing to do now. If in the future, the provinces have recovered their prosperity, they might as well enroll according to the Qing system regulations.
In this way, it can also promote some families to move to the northern provinces, which can be regarded as the ancient version of college entrance examination immigrants.
Nuan Yu brought a cup of Zhu Biao's favorite tea, Zhu Biao put down the hometown in his hand, and ordered Liu Jin to send it to the imperial study immediately.
Then she looked at Nuan Yu, who was a little sullen, and said, "Why are you listless these days?"
Nuan Yu rubbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Sister Yunjin is out on errand, and you are always busy outside, and you are going to get married, so this servant is a little scared."
Zhu Biao smiled and pulled her over: "It's boring for you to be lazy and don't want to do anything. As for the big marriage of the master, what is it that hinders you?"
Nuan Yu said cautiously: "The crown princess is here, if the servant is asked to do things, the servant will not know anything, what should the crown princess do if she reprimands the servant?"
Zhu Biao regretted seeing this and she said: "Although you don't know anything, she won't beat you to death when she first came here. At most, she will scold you and drive you out of the East Palace."
Nuanyu cried out as soon as her mouth shrunk, and Zhu Biao just smiled and watched her cry for a while before saying: "You always wipe the desks in Wenhua Palace, and you will be responsible for that in the future, if you can't do it well... "
Nuan Yu nodded with tears in her eyes: "Your maidservant will definitely wipe it off."
Zhu Biao leaned on the chair and said, "Then what are you waiting for? I'm going to study soon."
Nuan Yu walked out quickly after saluting, the smile on Zhu Biao's face faded, Nuan Yu grew up, had her own thoughts, and knew to ask for a talisman for herself.
But that's good, Zhu Biao can spend less time thinking, Yunjin has her own errands, and when the empress dowager leaves the palace next year, Yunjin will be the highest female official in the palace, Chang Luohua can only do it when she comes Make friends with Yunjin, after all, she represents Zhu Biao's mother and son.
The big and small Shuang'er are responsible for taking care of Zhu Biao's daily life, and Chang Luohua dare not place her in this position, and the big and small Shuang'er are also cautious in doing things.
Only Nuanyu, a little clever, but relying on Zhu Biao's love, once he makes a mistake, is the best choice for Chang Luohua to use to gain power.
