Jinyi champion

Chapter 774
The palace examination time remains unchanged, it is still March [-]th.

There are still a few days before the imperial examination, but Zhu Hao's ten-day vacation has officially ended, and as usual, he will return to the Imperial Academy to continue his work as his historian.

When he came back, he thought he would be pestered by Yang Shen again. After all, Su Xigui's business was not over yet, maybe he was taking care of his old mother at home before, and Yang Shen was too embarrassed to disturb her, but this time he came back, but he didn't see Yang Shen himself.

Yu Chengxun continued to work in his seat as calmly as Mount Tai.

This promotion to minister has nothing to do with him, Yu Chengxun.

"... You asked Yongxiu? He has been busy with family affairs recently and has no time to come to work. He has already greeted Scholar Feng." Yu Chengxun said.

It was only after Zhu Hao asked this that he found out that Yang Shen had also been lazy recently and didn't come to the Imperial Academy to answer his questions.

Zhu Hao looked around, facing the empty editing room, shook his head and sighed: "How leisurely is this job in Hanyuan? Why is it so difficult for colleagues to see each other?"

Yu Chengxun looked at Zhu Hao with strange eyes: "Jingdao, this is your first day in Hanyuan? You yourself are often away... What's the matter with emotion? Here... there are just a few history books here, let me have a look , help tidy it up."

It was rare to see someone who could be dispatched, so Yu Chengxun wanted to hand over the work at hand to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao shrugged and evaded: "I'm sorry, I have been resting at home for ten consecutive days, and I have accumulated a lot of work. I am also quite busy here. Turn around... I will definitely help you later."

……

……

Anyone can be lazy.

No matter which yamen, laziness is a big question.

Before noon, I saw people from the Hanlin Academy going out in twos and threes, hurriedly walking, as if they had some important errands, but in fact they were going to various places for banquets...

Now that the palace examination in the capital has not yet been held, many dinners will be set up for the Gongsheng students and those who have not yet left the capital. This kind of dinner is usually held at noon. Most exist.

Especially for those gatherings involving regions, they would try to invite the Imperial Academy of their respective provinces, prefectures, and counties in Beijing to have dinner together, not only to get acquainted with the clinging relationship, but also to prepare for curry favor with a potential high-ranking official in the future.

As for Juren, he has already entered the gentry class, and after his social status has improved, he wants to do something to curry favor with the powerful.

But those high-ranking officials in the capital basically have no way to make connections, but the Hanlin Academy is basically a group of nobles who have nothing to do, and some of them have a frightening future. group.

It depends on who has the right vision and can curry favor with a future court elder or minister, or even a chief assistant.

"I have a banquet in the land of Sichuan and Shu, will you go?" Yu Chengxun was also going to the banquet, and before leaving, he wanted to invite Zhu Hao to join him.

No matter what Zhu Hao has done before, at least in Yu Chengxun's view, Zhu Hao is "one of his own".

Besides, there were many places where Zhu Hao was deceived in the past. If you find a chance to invite Zhu Hao to a meal, you should borrow flowers to present Buddha.

Zhu Hao shook his head and smiled wryly: "I'm not from Sichuan and Shu, and I've never been to Sichuan and Shu. How can I talk to them? I'm afraid I can't understand your dialect, so... I won't go."

"Ha ha."

Yu Chengxun smiled and said, "It's not too difficult. It seems that you are not sociable, which is not a good thing. Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't go this time, there will be a banquet later, you must go, don't put it off."

Zhu Hao asked: "But the banquet for the second son of the Yang family after he passed the Jinshi examination?"

Yu Chengxun was stunned, slightly surprised: "You can guess this? But yes, he will be a Jinshi soon, and the two brothers Yongxiu and Yongxu will be able to do a lot of things in the future, you... don't know Whether Yongxu will be able to enter the museum at that time, based on his test results, I am afraid that there may be insufficient admission."

Although Yang Dun was selected as a tribute scholar, it was not easy for him to take the first-class exam or to select a good scholar because of his grades.

But who made his father Yang Tinghe?
If there hadn't been this disturbance in the test, it would not be impossible for Yang Tinghe to secretly arrange for him to be a concubine. His reputation is too unrestrained, so he is naturally not suitable to work in a place of self-cultivation like the Imperial Academy.

"I'll call you later, let's go first."

……

……

After Yu Chengxun left, only Zhu Hao was left in the Xiuzhuan room.

Zhu Hao continued to edit "Records of Wu Zong", but in his capacity as a writer, he could only help organize the manuscripts. To really proofread and select which contents could be used as records of major events, it required a person at the bachelor level to make a decision.

It was well past the afternoon.

Still no one came back, so Zhu Hao picked up his mood and prepared to go home for dinner. He will not stay in the Imperial Academy in the afternoon.

But at this time, it was late to see Yang Shen.

"Oh, respectfully, if you have something to do, you go first, I have something to do with Bachelor Feng."

Yang Shen and Zhu Hao just left in a hurry, Yang Shen went to the Imperial Academy, Zhu Hao went out.

He said he was going to find Fengxi. Even with Zhu Hao's far-sightedness, he couldn't guess what he was going to do for a while, but it seemed... Yang Shen was discouraged and wanted to find an opportunity to express himself. Maybe it was because of his recent promotion. The waiter said that what he does is no longer the daily trivial things like writing books and taking classes.

"I'm nagging, I don't know, I thought you were not promoted to be a minister, but you were going to join the cabinet."

Zhu Hao looked back at Yang Shen's back, shook his head, and said something to himself.

……

……

Yang Shen didn't mention Su Xigui's matter to Zhu Hao, so Zhu Hao naturally didn't need to report anything to him.

Here Zhu Hao had just left the Hanlin Academy, and within a few steps, someone bumped towards him obliquely, and the person who secretly protected Zhu Hao directly took down this reckless person who deliberately approached Zhu Hao, probably to kill him Exist like an assassin.

In the backyard of a nearby tea house, the person who was taken down continued to question: "Who are you? Are you going to kidnap tickets? In broad daylight, the sky is bright, you can't mess around."

"What are these words?"

Zhu Hao walked in from the back door, and heard that he looked at the man curiously, speaking glibly, but dressed as a scholar, Zhu Hao couldn't help asking, "Did you ask me for something earlier?"

When the man saw Zhu Hao, he smiled flatteringly and said, "You are Zhu Hanlin, right? I heard about your name when I was in Wuchang Mansion. This time, there are many candidates from Wuchang Mansion in the capital who wanted to invite you to a banquet, but I never knew How can I find you... I heard that Lingtang is sick recently, and they will talk about it."

It turned out to be a dinner party.

Those who didn't know really thought they were here to find fault.

Zhu Haodao: "I don't like socializing with others. Besides, I'm from Anlu Prefecture. You are from Wuchang Prefecture. It's a bit far away, so you won't go."

The man said: "How can this be so far away? They are all from Huguang. You are a noble person, but those candidates are not mediocre. Many friends have many paths."

Yu San, who was in charge of picking up people next to him, said disdainfully: "Hey, who is your friend? Be honest, are you trying to harm my master?"

"Hey, who wants to harm him? Besides, I'm just here to deliver a letter..."

The man looked aggrieved.

Zhu Hao walked over and asked with a smile, "Where are you from?"

"This... belongs to the capital."

The man was not shy.

Zhu Haodao: "Since you are a scholar of the capital, how could you get involved in Huguang's affairs? I specially do this for others..."

"This... hehe..."

The man scratched his head.

In the capital, if you want to build a relationship, you have to go through the door, but there are also people like this one, which is equivalent to the type of social blindness and doing nothing. , there must be many benefits.

Zhu Hao asked, "How do you know me?"

"Hey, I heard, I heard."

The man was still secretive.

Zhu Hao said: "It seems that you have a lot of secrets about you. I think you may have connections with bandits. Are you planning to kidnap and blackmail me against me?"

"Hey...Zhu Hanlin, we can't bite people randomly...No, it's false accusation, I'm a scholar, very gentle, how could I have any connection with bandits? I've been here...bye bye bye bye..."

The man looked at this posture, a top scholar, with a group of strong men around him, if he approached casually, he would be taken to the back alley to investigate, this kind of person is not easy to mess with.

Zhu Hao said: "I won't make things difficult for you, now you do something for me, and the benefits are indispensable to you."

"what!?"

The man looked puzzled.

"That's right, I don't like to make friends with people, and I don't believe in the nonsense that many friends have multiple paths. You tell those Juren in Wuchang Mansion that my eyes are higher than the top, I look down on them, and say they are all bullshit. You don't deserve to be my friend, and you said that I beat you up, that you didn't open your eyes..."

Zhu Hao said with a smile.

The man said with a bitter face: "Zhuangyuan Lang, you really know how to joke."

Zhu Hao sneered endlessly: "Who is joking with you? Are you going to say it? If you say it, I will give you money, and it will be a message for me. If you don't agree, it's easy to handle. I really want someone to beat you... Listen carefully, if you want to be beaten, you must hurt your muscles and bones, and you must find your teeth everywhere. Which one to choose?"

"I, I, I... I'll choose the first one." That person was helpless, how could he be so unreasonable?

Give money to spread notoriety?
Isn't this Zhuangyuan Lang's brain not working?

"Give the money!"

Zhu Hao gave San an order.

Yu San was very reluctant, so he took out two taels of silver and threw it to the man, who was a little stupid.

Really give money?

Not a joke?
Zhu Hao said: "Listen well, I won't ask your name, but your every move will be under my supervision. If you can't use your relationship these days to ruin my reputation... you Just watch..."

Zhu Hao casually grabbed the pole standing on the side, "I'll break your legs myself."

"No, no, I will pass the word on to you."

The man took the silver and ran away quickly.

However, as soon as he left the back alley, someone followed closely, and the Jin Yiwei's people were naturally unambiguous in their follow-up.

……

……

"Boss, what are we doing here?"

Yu San was puzzled.

Arrest a person by mistake and just let him go, or do you have doubts about his identity and use this as a test?

Zhu Haodao: "Fame is something, if you don't bring it with you when you die, what's the use of keeping it? I just want to leave a bad impression of being unreasonable, so that no one will bother me..."
