Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 168 Quickly chase my master back!
Yingtianfu Hope Primary School.

Although Zhu Yunxi hadn't come for three days, everything in the elementary school was running normally.Not only is there no stagnation, it seems to be more harmonious than when he was there, and it is more like a private school.

The gentlemen who were born in the National Academy of Sciences are dedicated to their duties, and everyone strives to lead every student well.

The students and craftsmen who study the self-ringing clock work hard, even if the self-ringing clock cannot achieve accurate timekeeping, they still insist on the front line of scientific research.

A design institute for a new type of gunpowder-driven plowing tool, and a research institute for a portable tube-type gunpowder launching device have also made breakthroughs and successfully built the first model.

Looking at the entire Hope Primary School, there are only three old men with worries written on their faces, and they are full of nostalgia for Zhu Yunxi.

"Ugh!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu has not been here for three days..."

"You said, could something happen to His Royal Highness King Wu?"

Yang Xinlu immediately interrupted Gao Ming's crow's mouth.

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu must be a long-lived person. I can still count on him for the new version of the biography of the Zhao sisters!"

Gao Ming still asked unwillingly.

"Then why doesn't His Royal Highness come here? Could it be that the huge Hope Primary School is just his whim?"

Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo fell silent when they heard the words. They also had the same doubts as Gao Ming, but they were unwilling to think deeply.

Yang Xinlu was worried about his new version of the script, while Qin Hengbo was worried that he would not be able to learn the method of alchemy.

After struggling for a long time, the two spoke at about the same time.

"Why don't we meet His Majesty and ask to be His Highness King Wu's guest?"

After the two finished speaking, embarrassment flashed across their faces at the same time.

Because the purpose of the two is not pure, the so-called doormen are just an excuse.One hoped to ask His Royal Highness King Wu about writing skills every day, and the other hoped to ask about the proportion of various elements in the new alchemy method, as well as the use of catalysts and so on.

Only Gao Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt embarrassed and shy.

Through observation during this period of time, Gao Ming can basically judge that Zhu Yunxi is a wise master with lofty aspirations.

Otherwise, how could he recruit so many diners?

There was just one thing that made him very upset, Zhu Yunxi even liked the group of students from the Imperial College, why didn't he take the initiative to recruit himself?

"We've been here for a while, His Royal Highness King Wu has never recruited us, does he look down on us three bad old men?"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Yang Xinlu also showed a little confusion.

"Can't you?"

"The three of us dare not say that we are famous all over the world, but at least we are well-known. His Royal Highness King Wu has no reason to look down on us!"

"Do you think there is a possibility that His Highness King Wu doesn't know us at all, or has never heard of our name?"

After Qin Hengbo said this, Yang Xinlu and Gao Ming were taken aback, they had never thought about such issues before.But thinking back to His Highness King Wu's attitude towards them during this period, the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was possible.

"Old Yang, don't you have a few old friends in the court, can someone remind His Highness King Wu vaguely?"

Yang Xinlu pondered for a while when he heard the words.

"The old man actually has a disciple named Huang Zicheng. I heard that he is currently teaching in the Dabentang, but the old man doesn't like him very much. He just thinks that this person is a bit too utilitarian, and he is eager to get things done. He might cause trouble in the future. "

"Then do you know anyone else?"

"Think about it, old man..."

"Is Qi Tai okay?"

"I used to teach in Dabentang, and I was transferred to the Ministry of Rites to serve as a servant some time ago. I should be able to talk to His Highness King Wu, right?"

"Excellent!"

"It is widely rumored that the manuscript of the golden plum vase was written by Qi Tai, which is enough to prove that the relationship between the two is unusual!"

"Then the old man is going to find Qi Tai now?"

"Let's go together!"

"Anyway, it's okay for us to be idle, just in time to meet our rookie from Yingtian Mansion!"

The three of them made up their minds, got into the carriage immediately, and went straight to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites at East Chang'an Gate.

……

The yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Mian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Qin Kui who was about to go crazy, and reluctantly began to persuade him.

"Qin Shangshu, it's useless for you to stay with me. Yang Xinlu is a contemporary celebrity, and the leader of the Jiangnan literary world. This old man's thin face is not useful at all!"

Qin Kui also knew that Zhao Mian hadn't lied, but His Majesty's words were too scary. If he couldn't invite Yang Xinlu to be an official, then he would really have to move stones!

"Zhao Shangshu, you must save this official. Even if you don't come forward to help, at least give me the exact address so that I can find someone!"

Hearing this, Zhao Mian was in a dilemma again. He knew the address of Yang Xinlu, and he had secretly visited the Yang family's mansion in Jinling City.But he knew Qin Kui's personality too well, once he was told where the Yang family was, he might be able to rush in with the servants from the Ministry of Industry and kidnap him.

"This one……"

Originally, Zhao Mian wanted to procrastinate a little longer, until His Majesty forgot about it, and the matter would be over.

However, at this moment, Jin Yiwei sent a verbal order, asking him to invite Yang Xinlu to become an official within three days, otherwise he will be asked to move bricks with Qin Kui.

As soon as Qin Kui heard this verbal instruction, his face immediately beamed with joy.

Now he's not in a hurry, it's Mr. Zhao's turn to be anxious, hahaha.

"Zhao Shangshu, you are busy first. I will go home and pack up first. Prepare a few pairs of shoes that fit your feet, wear-resistant clothes, etc., so I won't bother you here!"

"Qin Kui!"

"You loser star, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"

Qin Kui heard Lao Zhao's cursing in the street, laughed and left the Ministry of Rites and returned to his yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

After Qin Kui left, Zhao Mian immediately called all the servants in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to his valet, and said straight to the point.

"Just now, His Majesty ordered someone to pass an oral order, limiting our Ministry of Rites to invite Yang Xinlu to be an official within three days. If we can't do it, then we will drive all the people in our Ministry of Rites to move bricks under the city wall!"

"Now that the official has finished passing on the edict, the rest depends on your abilities."

"If you can't do it, then get ready to move bricks with me!"

When the servants of the Ministry of Rites heard this, they all turned pale with fright.

If other emperors made such harsh words, few officials would probably take them seriously.But Emperor Zhu of Ming Dynasty was different. A few years ago, he really punished officials to repair the city wall because they were late!

Qi Tai had just been appointed Minister of the Ministry of Rites for only a month, so it can be said that his buttocks are still hot, and he was taken aback when he heard this.

If he was driven to build the city wall, wouldn't his official career in this life be over?

Just when Qi Tai was so worried, the officials below suddenly ran over and said that someone was looking for him outside, and Qi Tai waved his hands absently.

"Didn't the officer already say so?"

"Anyone who claims to be relatives or old friends of this official will be blasted away!"

Since Qi Tai became the servant of the Ministry of Rites, no matter at home or in the Yamen, many relatives and old friends always come to him, some beg him for errands, some invite him to eat and drink, and some gossip about which province he will go to host a school next year. Political.

Qi Tai has very high demands on himself, and he doesn't want to ruin his future because of these trivial matters.

"Return to Master Qi, that person claims to be your teacher, and he dares not make decisions in a lowly position, so he came here specially to ask for instructions..."

"Master?"

"Where does this official come from, Master?"

When the officials below heard this, they immediately realized that another group of scammers had come outside the door, and immediately turned around and left.

Yang Xinlu was standing outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, bragging to two old friends.

"It's not that I'm bragging to you two, if that little baby Qi Tai knows that the old man is coming, he will definitely greet me..."

Both Qin Hengbo and Gao Ming are not used to flattering others, and when they heard Yang Xinlu boasting, they didn't feel the slightest disturbance in their hearts.

Seeing the attitude of the two, Yang Xinlu thought that the two didn't believe it, so he quickly swore to the sky.

"I don't believe you two wait, if the middle door doesn't open later, I, Yang Xinlu, will have the last name of both of you!"

As soon as Yang Xinlu finished speaking, the middle door of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites was wide open.Seeing this, Yang Xinlu couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What did the old man tell you two just now? That little baby Qi Tai knew that the old man was coming, so he would definitely receive him with the highest standard, hahaha..."

However, just as Yang Xinlu laughed twice, he saw more than a dozen guards holding water and fire sticks running out of the gate of the Ministry of Rites.

Behind a group of guards, followed by a small official wearing a seventh-rank official uniform, who was the one who just said to pass on a message to him.

"Come here!"

"Ruan stick blast these three swindlers away!"

When the officers of the Ministry of Rituals heard this, they all declared "No", and then rushed towards the three of them holding water and fire sticks.

The three of them were shocked when they saw such a battle. In the end, Qin Hengbo, who often travels in mountains and rivers, reacted quickly, and ran away with his two old friends.

Fortunately, the guards from the Ministry of Rituals saw that the three men were quite old, so they didn't want to beat them up. They just chased them for half a block, scared them away and went back.

The three of them hid in a secluded alley, panting heavily.

Qin Hengbo is relatively better. After all, he has been looking for immortals and Taoism all year round, traveling in mountains and rivers, and he has developed a strong physique long ago.

However, Gao Ming and Yang Xinlu can't do it.One likes to hide at home and read books, and the other likes to hide at home and write books. In short, they are all old otaku.

"Lao Yang, what did you do? Do you know Qi Tai?"

When Yang Xinlu heard Gao Ming questioning himself, he immediately blushed with anger.

"Can this old man still brag to you two? This old man hugged Qi Tai when he was a child... Bah, bah, almost confused by the two of you. It was this old man who hugged Qi Tai when he was a child. His name is given by this old man." He started!"

"It's really unreasonable. The old man came all the way to look for him. He didn't just treat him with courtesy, but he dared to send someone to drive us away. When the old man sees his father, he must sue him severely!"

On the other side, after Qi Tai dismissed the little official, he immediately realized something was wrong.

He did have a master, but this master was so famous that he didn't even dare to recognize him.

Therefore, when the little official reported it, he subconsciously thought it was a liar.

Because under normal circumstances, even if he went to visit with his father, he might not be able to knock on the door of Shigong's house. How could Shigong take the initiative to come to the yamen to look for him?
Thinking of this, Qi Tai immediately chased him out, but he saw only the long street was silent, and there was not even half a person there.

"What does the man who called himself my master just now look like?"

"Grey hair, about sixty years old, wearing a white jade hairpin..."

Qi Tai's heart sank when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked anxiously.

"Is your face a bit round and your eyes small?"

"Yep!"

"How did Master Qi know?"

Qi Tai slapped himself in frustration, and shouted at the officials.

"That's really my master!"

"Hurry up and send someone to chase my master back!"

The three old men hid in the alley for a while, gasped for breath, and saw that there was no movement outside, so they walked out of the alley with one hand on the wall and the other hand on the old man's waist.

However, as soon as the three of them showed their heads, they heard a commotion from outside.

"Master Qi ordered you to find the old man and never let him go!"

"promise!"

When the three old men heard this, they shrank back in fright and hid in the straw beside them, shivering.

"Old Yang, tell the truth to us, do you have any grudges with Qi Tai?"
