Immortality begins with Xiaoao

Chapter 18 Prince Zhu Houzhao

Yu Fei came out of Jinyiwei's yamen, and he also had an extra long sword in his hand. It was slightly heavier than Huashan's standard long sword, and the blade was also wider. According to Mr. Mou, it was dedicated to the royal family by Longquan Town. one's gift.

Later, it was given to Mu Bin by Emperor Hongzhi, and Mou Bin said that although he had some martial arts skills, it was only ordinary, so he gave it to Yu Fei in order not to make the sword dusty.

Yu Fei naturally knew that these were just polite words. This Master Mou was full of aura and introverted, and his temples on both sides were full and slightly raised. He was obviously a master of inner martial arts. Second-rate ones like elder brother Linghu Chong.

As soon as they met, Yu Fei owed two favors, and Yu Fei didn't know how to repay them. After all, this Lord Mou is the leader of Jin Yiwei, and now His Majesty's confidant is a number one figure in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Yu Fei can only keep it in his heart, and he will find a way to repay it later.

Back at the inn, the shopkeeper saw that Yu Fei was taken away by Jin Yiwei, but he was released within a day, and his jaw almost dropped from shock.

Yu Fei looked at the shopkeeper's expression as if he had seen a ghost, and was also put into a good mood by it. He laughed and said:

"The shopkeeper's table has good wine and good food."

The shopkeeper is worthy of being a businessman. After hearing that there is money to be made, he doesn't care about so much. He immediately agreed loudly and said that he would give Yu Fei a bottle of good wine to celebrate his escape from death.

Yu Fei shook his head and laughed, he didn't want to talk to the shopkeeper anymore, and went back to his room.

The release of the results of this examination has been postponed for nearly half a month before the dust settled. Cheng Minzheng, the chief examiner, was forced to retire early, and died of gangrene four days later.It is not true for Zhonghua Chang to sit down and be punished by demotion.Both Tang Bohu and Xu Jing were stripped of their official status and made minor officials.

Du Mu, who was the first to sue, was expelled from his meritorious service and returned to his original nationality, and will never be hired.

Anyway, there is no winner in this fraud case, as long as those involved are implicated, they will all be in trouble.

Even Yu Fei, who was supposed to be in the top three, was moved to the middle.

Yu Fei was lucky this time, and he had the help of noble people. Only Tang Bohu, Xu Jing and Yu Fei could solve the third round of "The Story of Exiting the Zhai".

Originally, even if Yu Fei had nothing to do with the chief examiner Cheng Minzheng, and it was proved that he did not cheat, he would have to be sent back to his original place, and he would have to wait for a re-examination after four years. Only with Mu Bin's intervention, his ranking was only moved to the middle. It's also lucky.

After Yu Fei went through this experience, he made up his mind not to hang out in the officialdom, but after he got fame and luck points, he would find a reason to resign and be his own gangster and help his master Yue Buqun Carry forward Huashan.

On April 12th of the [-]th year of Hongzhi, the palace examination was held.

The Palace Examination is only to rank Jinshi, it will not revoke the scholar's Jinshi status, and Yu Fei doesn't want to mess around in the officialdom, so he lets himself go.

Yu Fei combined his knowledge from his previous life to write a random scribble, but within an hour, he finished the policy theory, but there was no saying that the examination papers were handed in ahead of time, so Yu Fei closed his pen and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Thinking is very different.

This performance was also seen by two people in the palace, one is the current Emperor Hongzhi, and the other is the 12-year-old prince Zhu Houzhao.

In the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, Yu Fei's performance in this way is arrogant and unusable.

But in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, he felt that Yu Fei was so calm and composed in front of his father, he must be confident and extraordinary.

The same performance is so different in the eyes of the two, which also explains the two emperors' thinking on governing the country.

Emperor Hongzhi inherited from Emperor Xianzong. Emperor Xianzong's court was quite chaotic in his later years, and Emperor Hongzhi suffered a lot because of this. Therefore, this conservative monarch prefers mature and respectful people.

And Zhu Houzhao is the only son of Emperor Hongzhi. He will be the heir of the Ming Dynasty. He has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child. A good education, and good ministers to assist, is definitely a king of pioneering.

The Palace Examination does not have to wait seven days to be announced like the General Examination, but you can know what your score is when you take the exam today, and you don't need to look at the rankings. Naturally, the officials from the Ministry of Rites will come to congratulate.

From the morning of the second day, the entire capital had been beating gongs and drums to congratulate the new Jinshi, and at noon, the inn where Yu Fei was staying also had officials from the Ministry of Rites coming to announce the good news.

"Congratulations to Mr. Yu Feiyu from Xin'an County for winning the 110th place in the palace examination."

After Yu Fei heard the news, even though he had made up his mind not to mess around in court, he was still a little excited when someone came to announce the good news. After all, it was an affirmation of his family's more than ten years of study.

Yu Fei took out some silver fragments and gave them to the gentlemen who came to announce the good news, then took the Jinshi robes, and listened carefully to what the gentlemen who came to congratulate said, the time for participating in the Qionglin Banquet, and how the Jinshi would enter the venue when the time came, etc. Wait.

After Yu Fei listened and bowed to thank him, the officials once again congratulated the Jinshi Xianggong, and then left, ready to go to the next place to announce the good news.

Sending off the gentleman who announced the good news, Yu Fei returned to the room and carefully put away the Jinshi robe, smiled and thought:
"If this is in modern times, I don't know what it counts as a degree?"

After thinking about it, I felt that my thoughts were really emanating. Is this the time to think about it?

At this moment, the door suddenly rang, and Yu Fei said, "What's the matter?"

The second brother's voice came from outside the door, "Master Yu, someone from your acquaintance said to come to see you."

Yu Fei felt strange, the only acquaintance he had in the capital was Mr. Mu Binmou, but today the capital is so lively, it also means chaos, he should be very busy, it is impossible to come to him.

Although it was strange in my heart, I immediately responded: "Understood, I will come as soon as I get off."

Yu Fei tidied up his clothes a bit, then went downstairs, and finally saw Mou Bin accompanying a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

Yu Fei felt that this young man looked familiar at first glance. When he saw Mu Bin beside him like a guard, his heart was shocked. Knowing the identity of this young man, it wasn't Prince Zhu Houzhao, who else could it be?

Yu Fei hurriedly went downstairs. Just as he was about to salute, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to stop him and said:

"I'm Zhu Shou, I'm taking the liberty to disturb you, brother Yu, please don't blame me."

Yu Fei laughed secretly in his heart: "This naughty emperor, it turns out that now he has the alias of General Shenwu and Zhu Shou."

Since he didn't come here as a prince, Yu Fei didn't think he was a prince, so he laughed and said:
"It's okay, I don't know what happened to Brother Zhu?"

Mou Bin who was beside him saw Yu Fei calling the prince "Brother Zhu", coughed lightly and gave Yu Fei a hard look.

But I don't know that Zhu Houzhao likes this tune the most, so he said happily at the moment:

"I came down to look for Brother Yu because I admired Brother Yu's demeanor, so I wanted to make some friends."

Yu Fei smiled and nodded, and asked him to go upstairs and sit down.
