Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 297

"My lord, Yenching University is opened in the capital, and the selection of the Hongxi Literature Award is also in the capital. Doctors from the Imperial Academy in the capital, or literati and scholars in the city should participate in the judging panel. It's not right." Yang Rong felt bad no matter what he thought.

The Hongxi Literary Award that Zhu Zhanqian is going to host has already been discussed a lot, and many people are quite critical of this matter. Instead of appeasing these people's emotions, they will intensify the conflict. It is conceivable that Zhu Zhanqian How many people have to be accepted in the court.

In the past few days, the evaluation of Zhu Zhanqian from the Guozijian has not been very good, and when the literati talk, you can say dirty. There are probably no dirty words in the literal sense, but it is really dirty when you look at it carefully.

Most of them said that Zhu Zhanqian was young and energetic, and he wanted to choose the first article, and put together such a low-level novel as poetry, which made them feel ashamed.

What's more, it is said that Zhu Zhanqian is relying on himself to be in the emperor's house, and the dudes join in the fun of the literary world.

It's a widow showing a big bird in front of her door. Isn't this bullying?

However, according to the pissing nature of the people in the Guozijian, this sentence should not be said, and it was probably added by others.

Zhu Zhanqian thought it was a bit ridiculous: "I understand Yang Shaofu's worries, but I have heard of the criticisms of me from the Imperial College of Shuntian Mansion in recent days, and you know my temper, so I can't be scolded by everyone Well, I'll come to the door and beg them to come."

In fact, this is really the case. You have visited the thatched cottage three times to beg them, and they have gained a lot of face. They will really come to participate in the jury. After all, Zhu Zhanqian's status is here, and this is also the way for these people to improve their reputation.

It sounds good to say in the future, the prince of Daming visited many times to study, and it became a good story.

"My lord, you'd better come to invite them in person. These people are also well-educated people. It would be more sincere if you go in person." Yang Rong persuaded him. He knew the temperament of these people well and wanted to praise himself If you get high, your reputation will be even louder.

Zhu Zhanqian said blankly: "Didn't I go? Didn't I go in person the first time I sent out the invitation?"

Yang Rong earnestly said: "My lord, in ancient times, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times. If you go a few more times now, you can achieve your reputation as a lord who is not ashamed to ask."

In theory, this is true, but it is in theory.

I, Zhu Zhanqian, am not used to the stinky temper of your group of noble literati. I invite you with a good voice, and you put on the score and put on a face, and you have to ask me to invite you in a humble manner again and again.

You are lofty, you are amazing, you are still not happy with my replacement?

With a little anger, Zhu Zhan said, "People are not honest, the most they do is occupy the latrine and don't shit. If you don't shit, you don't use the latrine and don't let people use it. You even blocked the door."

Hearing this remark, the four literati were startled. This remark was too harsh, and it lacked the demeanor of a literati.

Wen Taiqing's wife laughed. The old lady is old, but her laughter is hearty: "The prince is really temperamental."

Although the words were harsh, they also let several people know that it was impossible for Zhu Zhanqian to bow his head.

Yang Rong lamented that Zhu Zhanqian was still young, and he was acting on his own will, so he might offend many people.

But Zhu Zhanqian is not acting on his own will, but thinking carefully. He is ready to offend a large number of literati. He knows that his university system will inevitably break the original cultural system.

Now that I've made up my mind to break it, I won't serve you anymore.

How to say Wu Jing's words: I help you and you help me, I help you and you don't help me, I will help you, I help you and you destroy me, then I will fuck you.

Seeing Zhu Zhanqian's resolute attitude, Yang Rong felt that something was wrong, and he had to report it to the emperor later.

Zhu Zhanyan continued: "Four, our selection must continue as usual, don't be affected by these things."

Several people nodded, the Hongxi Literature Award is imperative.

The four Chinese Taiqing wife and Sun Zuo are actually very grateful to Zhu Zhanqian, because they are now unofficial, but Zhu Zhanqian invited them to participate in such a big event.

Especially Wen Taiqing's wife, she is a woman, but Zhu Zhanqian never once mentioned the difference between men and women, and respects her like everyone else.

Several people discussed the specific matters, and then left separately.

Yang Rong immediately went to the palace to look for Zhu Gaochi and reported Zhu Zhanqian's matter first. He was also afraid that the matter would become a big problem, and he also felt that Zhu Zhanqian's way of directly letting people from Yingtianfu Guozijian come over would indeed easily cause disputes.

Wen Taiqing's wife stopped Zhu Zhanqian, she was walking very slowly on crutches, hunched over, Zhu Zhanqian almost had to squat halfway to communicate with her at eye level.

"Wait a minute, my lord."

"Is there anything else sir?"

"My lord, I can't afford you to say "Old Sir."

"You can afford it."

Zhu Zhanqian helped Wen Taiqing's wife to sit down, and Wen Taiqing's wife looked at Zhu Zhanqian with eyes that were still clear after the vicissitudes of life, and said, "My lord, how many wives do you have?"

"Ah?" Zhu Zhanqian was stunned. She didn't expect her to ask such a question. After a brief moment of astonishment, he said, "Sixth Room."

"Not much for you."

"Why did the old man ask such a question?"

"I just saw your appearance, lord, and thought that if we were young, we should have been very popular. I don't know if the boy that girls like now has changed."

Zhu Zhanqian was speechless, unexpectedly it was for this idea.

Wen Taiqing's wife smiled, and she could see that the old lady must have been outstanding when she was young.

"Your Highness, the old lady really wanted to come and thank you, thank you Your Highness for inviting me here."

"The old gentleman is highly respected, and I should thank you."

Zhu Zhanqian is like this, if you respect me, I will respect you too.

Wen Taiqing's wife waved her hands and said: "I am a person waiting to die in my old age. My original surname is Wu. When I was young, the Mongols were in charge of the Central Plains. Fortunately, my father is still famous at home, so that the whole family will not be bullied by foreigners. Marry later." She is married, her husband loves her, and she is doing well. She has children and grows older. Later, when she heard that the Emperor Taizu was in trouble, the three sons in the family, the eldest son and the second son, all went to serve in the army, and the younger son was left behind. at home."

Speaking of this, we can see that there is a strange color in the eyes of Wen Taiqing's wife, the eye sockets are not red, and there are no tears, but Zhu Zhanqian can feel the slightest change.

"The two sons went to join the army, and there was no news. In the era of war and chaos, it is common to be gone." She said that the white-haired man gave the black-haired man great grief, but she said it was normal, but sent too much. , then looked away.

"I think I still have some literary talents, I have written some poems, and I have some reputation. When the Ming Dynasty is established, the world will be peaceful, and I will live a peaceful life for a few years."

"My husband died, my son died, and then my grandson died, and even my great-grandson died, and my family was prosperous. Every birthday and New Year's day, there are always many people around my old woman. , I’m the only one left in the empty courtyard again.”

"It was okay at first, writing and writing articles to relieve worries, but later I got older and my hands shook, so I couldn't write anymore. I just counted the days and waited to die. When the little girl told me that the prince of Ming Dynasty wanted me to participate in the review of the Hongxi Literature Award, I asked who Hongxi’s name was, and then I realized that it was the new emperor’s year name. After waiting for a long time, I didn’t even know that the emperor had changed. , old and old."

People tend to be long-winded when they are old. Although the words are long-winded, they reveal the way of life of Wen Taiqing's wife.

Wen Taiqing's wife went on to say: "My lord, can you know why I am called Wen Taiqing's wife."

Zhu Zhanqian shook his head.

"My husband's name is Taiqing. The original meaning was that after writing the article, I wrote the above article, Taiqing's wife. Later, people called him Wen Taiqing's wife. It has been like this for a long time."

"It's been a long time, more than 100 years. Does the prince know which years are the best in these 100 years?"

"I guess it was when I was a teenager." Zhu Zhanqian replied casually.

"No, no." Wen Taiqing's wife shook her head and said, "It's the past few years in the prosperous age of Yongle, and it's the past few years since His Highness made the steam engine. A year is far better than a year."

"Oh? The old man actually knows about steam engines." Zhu Zhanqian was a little surprised. Wen Taiqing's wife actually knew about steam engines. He thought she was a reclusive old woman.

"I live in the south of the Yangtze River. When the steam engine is running, it makes a loud noise. I couldn't sleep at night and asked the servant girl to ask someone to reason. It was stipulated that the steam engine should not be turned on after dark every day to weave."

Zhu Zhanqian smiled, he didn't expect such a thing: "Why does the old man think the past few years are the best?"

"There are more people laughing."

"After decades of life, seven points of suffering, two points of worry, and one point of happiness are considered a blessing in the world. The children who ran past the gate of the courtyard these years are much more lively, and the people nearby laugh more. Although the steam engine is noisy Some, but since it came, everyone laughed a lot. They have lived for more than 100 years. They have seen more smiling faces in these years than in previous decades. A simple poem, and this is the best day I've ever seen."

She analyzes the world from her own point of view. The children are laughing, even their parents are laughing. They have made money and lived peacefully. They have all learned some articles and poems. Since ancient times, this should be the best day. It all started the day the steam engine rang.

"Old sir, the days to come will be better."

"Others say I don't believe it, but you, my lord, believe it. It's a long way to come to the capital this time. The descendants of my family think that I shouldn't come. They say it nicely. They are worried about me. In fact, they are not worried about an old woman like me." I can’t speak well, I can’t write, and I have to be crushed by servants to eat, and it’s a shame to come out, so they treat me like I’m a clay bodhisattva.”

"I see that the old man is in good health." Zhu Zhanqian laughed.

"I thought I had to come here to meet your highness. Your highness doesn't mind me being a woman or an old woman. An old woman has to work hard for your highness. What your highness does is great things, great things, I I have never seen someone who truly cares about the common people like His Highness, and he is also handsome."

"Haha, old man, I'm going to be proud of you praising me so much." Zhu Zhanqian thought the old woman's words were very interesting.

"Old lady, I will choose the Hongxi Literature Award for Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanqian supported her and said, "Mr., it's not the Hongxi Literature Award this time. You may have to work on the literature awards for the next 34 years. I have reserved a place for you in the Literature Department of Yenching University. "

"Your Highness, why are you making fun of the old man? At this old age, why do I still have 34 years left? I have to count the days on my fingers. Don't go to see Lord Hades before this incident is over."

"You can relax, there are still many things that will trouble you in the future."

The spring breeze blows gently in the courtyard, the vigorous trees, and the new green shoots. When it reaches the old lady, it seems to become softer on purpose.

Gently brushing her silver-white hair, the years have left a lot on her, her white hair has turned into white hair, her face is full of wrinkles, her teeth have almost fallen out, she is old, so old, but fortunately I saw this era myself.

Her body was bent, she leaned on the crutches with more strength, and the crutches sank a little in the new spring bud mud, this little strength supported her to look up at Zhu Zhanqian as much as possible.

The boy in the sun shines brightly.

"Your Highness..."

"Is there anything else, sir?"

"Your Highness has opened the way for the common people in the world. I will help you with all my strength. I am counting the days until I die. From today onwards, I will pay more attention to my own body. I will take care of dozens of students in the world for Your Highness." year or luck."

"Old man, grand!" Zhu Zhanqian said with a smile.

While talking, Wen Taiqing's wife actually bowed to Zhu Zhanqian: "His Royal Highness, I hope that His Highness will continue to do this in the future, so that everyone in the world can learn poetry with a smile on their faces, think of poetry and wine, and dream of flowers with pens and flowers. Fortunately, Zhu Zhanqian in the world."

Zhu Zhanqian immediately returned the gift.

"Old sir, I'm really ashamed of you boasting so much."

Wen Taiqing's wife said again: "The actions His Highness said today will definitely cause dissatisfaction among others. When the old man is present, if His Highness feels that it can't be dealt with, give the old body a look, and the old body has a solution."

"Oh? In what way?"

Wen Taiqing's wife leaned on crutches and slowly turned around and left: "Your Highness only needs to know that I have a solution, and the solution will not be put on the table, so let's not talk about it, and hope that it will not be used."

Seeing Wen Taiqing's wife leave, Zhu Zhanqian was in a great mood. Although the old lady was long-winded, the conversation was very interesting.

She is the longest-lived female poet in history, and she can live another 30 or [-] years.

At this time Xiaosheng ran in: "Your Highness, Yu Qian has come to look for you."

"Oh? He's here? Didn't he come to tell me to quit the jury?" Zhu Zhan was a little melancholy. He specially gave Yu Qian a position on the jury, but if Yu Qian said to quit, he would Very disappointed.

After going out, Yu Qian was waiting anxiously at the gate, and when he saw Zhu Zhanqian, he greeted him: "Your Highness, you can go to someone who can't call Tianfu Guozijian."

"How did you know?"

"I happened to meet Yang Shaofu just now, so it's convenient for me to say, Yang Shaofu has now entered the palace."

Zhu Zhanqian was not in a hurry about Yang Rong's entry into the palace. Instead, he asked Yu Qian, "Why are you here? Could it be that you also came to quit the jury?"

"That's not it, I'm here to inform His Highness that His Royal Highness's expedition ceremony has been prepared, and I will let you inform you."

"Okay, I see, what do I need to do?"

Yu Qian was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty and the Prince discussed the expedition ceremony. Because it needs to be done on a larger scale, it will cost a lot of money, so it is reasonable for Your Majesty to mean that you have to spend some money for your brother."

"Don't bring such a cheating son, I want to enter the palace, I want to face the saint."
