Jinyi champion

Chapter 411 Establishing the Mansion with Martial Arts (seeking a monthly ticket)

Zhu Hao, Tang Yin and his party are still on their way north to the capital.

After crossing Xiangyang and entering Nanyang Mansion, you will arrive at the border of Henan.

The team walked forward for another three days, out of the Nanyang Basin, and as soon as they passed Funiu Mountain, they found that the ground in Henan was suffering from drought.

The imperial court also opened warehouses for disaster relief, but the effect was not great. Among the common people, especially those tenants who had no land and few acres of their own land, they could not pay the rent and had to embark on the road of migration. Some cannot gain a foothold in Huguang, and will continue to struggle to move into Guizhou and Bashu...

The large-scale relocation of Huguang to Sichuan did not occur only in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. It can be said that there was a tendency in this direction throughout the Ming Dynasty.

"The prince and his party have been here for three days... They are going faster and faster. It seems that we have to hurry up."

Tang Yin rested at the posthouse that day, and inquired about the situation on the spot, and learned that Zhu Si and his party had accelerated their speed to the north, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.

It was agreed that he would go north to assist the son, but the son walked much faster than them, and if something happened along the way, he would not even have a chance to rescue him.

Zhu Hao was very calm: "It's useless to be anxious. With Luo Dian, I believe that the safety of the son can be guaranteed. Besides, the eunuch Qiu Ju is not someone close to the emperor. I don't think he will kill someone along the way."

"Ah."

Tang Yin just nodded, but he didn't necessarily agree with Zhu Hao's point of view.

Although Qiu Ju was one of the original "Eight Tigers" eunuchs, since Liu Jin's downfall, the influence of the Eight Tigers in the court has been greatly weakened. Right now, the most favored people around the emperor are Qian Ning, Jiang Bin, Zang Xian, and Zhang Zhong. Waiting for others, Qiu Ju, like Zhang Yong, is already a marginal figure among the eunuchs. If the queen mother did not activate Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju would not even be qualified to go south.

Zhu Hao said: "After arriving in the capital, sir, you should go to meet some old friends with a high profile and let them know that you have arrived..."

"Why is this?"

Tang Yin was a little impatient, and didn't think it was a good thing.

I, Tang, have been implicated in imperial examinations all my life, and I was like a mouse crossing the street when I came to the capital. You actually let me swagger?
Zhu Hao sighed: "We have to distinguish between two ways of acting openly and secretly... Mr. You just draw people's attention in the bright place, and I act secretly...

"Someone in the court may know that you have served in Xingwang's mansion, especially the spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. If they know that you have arrived in the capital and kept a low profile, they will suspect that you were ordered to assist the prince. Your high-profile appearance will be counterproductive." safer."

Tang Yin took a breath.

In the past few years in the palace, he thought that he had really become so reclusive that he was out of touch with the world, but in fact he was still a man in the world of mortals, and his whereabouts and whereabouts would be known after a little investigation.

"Let's discuss on the road..."

Tang Yin didn't agree immediately this time, he had to observe the situation after arriving in the capital, and then decide whether he should be high-key or low-key.

At his age, and in the past few years, he is not as ostentatious as he was when he was young, and he is high-profile...even he himself thinks it is too pretentious. The old guy is now used to being low-key and restrained. temperament.

……

……

For the time being, he himself doesn't know about Zhu Hao's success in the examination.

But in the capital, the Zhu family got the news first.

When Zhu Jiashi saw the letter from his fourth son Zhu Wanquan from Huguang, he almost didn't come up. Fortunately, someone nearby helped her to rest on the couch, and then...

I can't afford to be sick!
Jiang Yonghe from the first room, Zhu Wanjian from the second room, and Zhu Linshi, the wife of Zhu Wanquan from the fourth room, went to see the illness together. Before the sick bed, Zhu Jiashi threw Zhu Wanquan's letter on the ground, and Zhu Wanjian picked it up and read it in detail.

"Hahahaha...It's really ridiculous. The fourth child himself failed to pass the exam, but Xiao Haozi from the third room won the exam and got a Huguang Jieyuan? It's really embarrassing!"

Zhu Wanjian burst out laughing immediately after reading it.

The voice was very ear-piercing, and it was like sprinkling salt on the old lady's wound. After listening to it, the old lady almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Jiang Yonghe's voice was calm: "If that's the case, that's a good thing."

Zhu Wanjian glanced at her and said, "I said sister-in-law, are you pretending to be confused or are you really confused? You don't know how much mother hates the members of the third family, do you? They are simply enemies!
"It's been so many years, and I don't even have this awareness. How can I be the wife of my Zhu family? This kid has already drawn a clear line from my Zhu family, so he can still be regarded as my Zhu family?"

"To shut up!"

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore, and habitually yelled again.

Zhu Lin looked at the people present, she knew that she was here today to be angry, even if the mother-in-law didn't mock the fourth wife like the second uncle, she probably wouldn't give her daughter-in-law a good look.

Jiang Yonghe persisted: "Since you are the grandson of the Zhu family, you have the blood, the surname, and the relationship. You can't be a family because of the division of the family property."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Jiashi glared at him again.

Usually the eldest daughter-in-law is dedicated to worshiping Buddha, even if she is involved in family affairs, she rarely speaks so strongly and insists on her own point of view.

Even if he didn't intend to contradict her this time, Zhu Jiashi still felt uncomfortable being offended.

Zhu Lin said: "Mother, you can tell your father-in-law about this...over there?"

Zhu Lin was born in a scholarly family, well educated, plus she and Zhu Wanquan lived their lives behind closed doors, a loving husband and wife, which is incompatible with the high-pressure atmosphere of this big family, but as a parasite in the family, Sifang is usually very difficult Conflict with family interests.

Those who eat free food are ashamed to ask too much, as long as they have food and drink every day, and their husband still hopes to pass the exam, and they can live with face.

But she obviously didn't know the complicated relationship within the Zhu family, so she asked a question that seemed appropriate but was very inappropriate.

"This matter must not be reported to the inner court, whoever leaks the truth... Don't blame me for wanting him to look good!"

Zhu Jiashi shouted sharply.

Zhu Wanjian asked in amazement: "Xiao Haozi won the Juren examination, and also passed the Jieyuan examination. He didn't tell the old man about it? Isn't it?"

Even Zhu Wanjian couldn't figure out what the old lady was thinking.

Even if he said that the Zhu family didn't want to see Zhu Hao, he actually felt that this was a great thing, and spreading the word would be of great help to the Zhu family's reputation.

No matter how upset your old lady is, she should know what it means to make the best use of the situation, right?
I can understand that you are hiding from outsiders. I am afraid that people will say that you bullied the third house, and you will become a master in one fell swoop. But what do you mean by hiding it from the old man?
"Mother is afraid, some news will leak out?"

Jiang Yonghe interrupted again.

Zhu Jiashi suddenly sat up from the sick bed, full of anger: "Who is in charge of this family?"

what! ?

Could it be that he was pretending to be sick just now?

Even a simple person like Zhu Lin could tell that something was wrong with this mother-in-law.

Jiang Yonghe said: "If Zhu Hao goes to the capital to take part in the general examination, and enters Zhu's house to greet him, what should he do?"

Zhu Wanjian couldn't help but looked at his sister-in-law in surprise, and he could tell that today, her sister-in-law poked the old lady's heart with every word.

It's a bit like the tip of a needle pointing at a wheat awn.

Zhu Jiashi sneered: "If he wants to come, just keep him out of the door. When he was in Anlu, he never visited Zhuangzi alone. He was afraid that the family would detain him. How dare he come now?"

"That might be..."

Zhu Wanjian deliberately said loudly, "Now he is a juren, his social status is different, and he has the support of the government. As long as the people he brings find that he has not returned, they will definitely let the government come to our house to ask for it."

The old lady was furious: "Are you two planning to rebel?!"

It was full of anger and binge drinking.

This time the truth of her moaning without illness was further confirmed.

The people in the third room were silent and did not argue with them any more.

"The Zhu family is an honorable family. It was born in Jinyiwei. It was established in the Wuli Mansion. It never required any literary examinations. A thousand households of Jinyiwei who can be compared to a real job? You should know how this family should be maintained in the future... No allegiance Your Majesty, if you are not loyal to the imperial court, the Zhu family will be overthrown sooner or later! Can a juren change everything?"

Zhu Jiashi reprimanded his son and daughter-in-law face to face.

Zhu Wanjian said: "Brother has been suspended as a Jinyiwei Qianhu. Where is he now? How can he help the family?"

Zhu Jiashi said: "He stayed in Anlu, staring at Prince Xing's mansion. This time Prince Xing's son was escorted to the capital, and he was guarded by the imperial court as a hostage. My Zhu family's errands have not changed!
"However, only a few of you know about today's events. If anyone leaks out... Family law attendants! You will no longer be the descendants of the Zhu family!"

Zhu Wanjian was speechless, and murmured softly, "Tsk tsk, this side just took the Juren examination, and the other side arrested Prince Xing's son and imprisoned him in the capital. The situation is changing so fast, I really don't understand it."

……

……

After Zhu Hao and his party crossed the Yellow River, they rushed all the way to the capital.

At this time, someone finally found Zhu Hao and Tang Yin's party, who were sent by Su Xigui to inform Zhu Hao about his passing the Huguang Township Examination.

Tang Yin and Zhu Hao were very happy to hear this, but Lu Song still had some doubts: "Is the matter sure?"

Traveling outside, people are not in Anlu, nor in Wuchang Mansion. It is still such a big happy event just relying on someone to send a message, which always makes people suspicious.

Tang Yindao: "Su Dongzhu sent people to report the news not far away. I don't think there will be any deviation. The people came from Wuchang Mansion. They should go on the road as soon as they get the exact news... Anlu's side may have to The letter will be delivered later, and it is estimated that the news will be clear after we arrive in the capital."

Tang Yin admired Zhu Hao's talent very much. Three years ago, he casually helped Gongsunyi with his tutoring, and he trained Gongsunyi to become a Juren. Is it strange that Zhu Hao passed the examination of Jieyuan?
Zhu Hao curled his lips: "I heard that my scoundrel was also admitted to Juren, and he was ranked thirty-sixth. If I knew it earlier, I would take him with me and go to the capital together, lest this kid stay in Anlu and not think about studying."

After Lu Song heard it, his jaw almost dropped in shock.

That incompetent scholar who could not pass the college entrance examination, the pedantic merchant boy who was sentenced to death by Fan Yikuan on the way to school, not counting as a middle school student, now he passed the Juren exam?So just how capable is Zhu Hao? Is it true that those who follow him... can all get ahead?
"oops!"

Tang Yin dismissed it, "How many more questions did you leak to him? I guess you helped write the articles he wrote, right?"

Zhu Hao said: "Sir, you have to be conscientious in being a human being. Do you think I'm a magic stick, counting the exam questions every day when I have nothing to do? I don't even know who the examiner is. Where do the exam questions come from? Don't say grapes are sour... ...Your disciples and grandchildren have all passed the Juren examination, you should be happy. Come on, have a smile!"

　The third one is sent, the emperor asks for subscription and monthly ticket support, thank you very much!
