Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 379 Isn't our father and son a typical example? (one more)
In the city of Suzhou, at the entrance of a brand-new mansion that is not much inferior to that of Nazhou Mansion, there is a huge plaque hanging on it, and the red characters are so eye-catching.

It is so obvious that all the people of Suzhou who pass by the market road in front of the mansion will involuntarily speed up their pace, wishing to cross over with a flash.

And at the gate of the mansion, seven or eight fat and strong thugs were lazily bragging and beating at the gate of the mansion.

After all, this is the old residence of the Zhu Mansion. Even the magistrate of Suzhou, when seeing his master, would actively bend his waist three points.

It can be said that in the whole of Suzhou, maybe you don't know the parents and officials in Suzhou, but you certainly don't know the Zhu family, or Zhu's father and son who control the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau.

The reputation of the father and son in Suzhou and Hangzhou is so bad that it can definitely stop a child from crying at night, and everyone from officials to ordinary people fears them like tigers.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the end of the street, and the pedestrians who were originally walking on this street ran around to avoid it.

Soon, a team of two to three hundred people could be seen in the distance, appearing arrogantly and domineeringly on this street under the banner of "Zhu".

In front, there are a full fifty riders with prancing horses and whips, with knives on their waists, and each of them holds a flag in their hands.

There are several carriages in the back, and the one in the front is inside the carriage pulled by four strong horses.

A middle-aged man in his late thirties, with narrow eyes and drooping lips, was sitting in the carriage decorated with gold, silver and even precious stones.

He is the son of Zhu Chong, Zhu Yu who was appointed as the defense envoy of Hezhou by the Song Dynasty officials.

On both sides of the carriage, there are guards with swords and shields. This posture is probably a bit more grand than that of the nobles traveling in Bianliang, Tokyo.

When the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Zhu Mansion's old house, a group of thugs at the gate of the mansion all bent down respectfully to salute.

"Congratulations, son, back home..."

Zhu Xi got out of the carriage, raised his front and walked straight towards the mansion.

And those guards stayed outside the gate of the mansion to wait.

#####
At this moment, nearly fifty years old, the gray-bearded Zhu Chong was sitting in the hall with a worried face. At this moment, a letter was placed on the table.

When he heard the sound of footsteps, he raised his eyes and saw that his beloved son Zhu Xi had returned home, and he couldn't help showing a relieved smile.

"Hey, you've come back. If you don't come again, the father will get the 'Paradise' to find you."

"Father, what's the matter? My son is busy at Tongyuan, and after he's done, he has to go back to Hangzhou."

Zhu Xi bowed to his biological father Zhu Chong, and lazily sat down on a chair in the hall.

Seeing Zhu Xi like this, Zhu Chong could only shake his head and raise his hand as a signal. Soon, all the maids and servants waiting in the hall retreated outside the hall. He copied the letter on the case table and handed it to Zhu Xi. in front of.

"Cai Xiang sent a letter saying that the government has appointed Gao Taiwei's son Gao Zhang as the governor of Liangzhe Road. He is going to Hangzhou to set up a city shipping department."

"Shibosi?!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi immediately copied the letter with bright eyes.

Carefully looked at this letter from Cai Jing, the traitor of the Song Dynasty.

"Father, doesn't that mean that our old Zhu's family has another way to get rich?"

"The Paradise that our family built is only less than half completed, and my child is worrying about where to get more money to make up for it..."

Hearing Zhu Xi's words, Zhu Chong nodded subconsciously at first, and finally confessed.

"Let's find out what Xiang Cai means first."

Zhu Xi let out a disapproving sigh, and continued to look at the handwritten letter written by Cai Jing.

After reading it, he laughed and put the letter directly on the case table.

"Father, what's the big deal, isn't it because Cai Xiang sent his family's Liulang and the stepson of the Tong Zhongguan to come to our land of Suzhou and Hangzhou?"

"Don't worry, the boy will definitely serve these two boys properly, and they will definitely not say anything bad."

"In this matter, Dad believes that you have this ability, but you didn't notice that Cai Xiang mentioned that we father and son should be careful with the governor of Liangzhe Road?"

"Cai Xiang said bluntly that Gao Zhang won the favor and trust of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he learned a lot at a young age, and was the number one scholar in high school.

Afterwards, he was promoted again and again, and in less than a year, he was already waiting for the Longtu Pavilion, and he was dressed in a purple robe. "

"Such a character, if you and my father and son are not careful in dealing with it, maybe there will be big problems."

"Father, please sit down, don't think too much, my son thinks that this is clearly Xiang Cai's old age, and he is a little confused."

After Zhu Xi pushed his father Zhu Chong back to the chair and sat down, he chuckled disapprovingly.

"Hey, how did you talk?"

When Zhu Chong heard this, his eyelids twitched wildly, and he immediately lowered his face and shouted.

"Father, think about it. In the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are so many talented people, and there are countless young people who become famous. But is there anyone who can pass the Jinshi examination after three to five years of enlightenment?"

"Father, don't forget, who is the father of our No. [-] Scholar? He is Taiwei Gaoqiu."

"Our Taiwei Gao Qiu is an old man in the official residence, and he is deeply trusted by the officials. Otherwise, it would be impossible to become a Taiwei in just a few years after the official ascended the throne."

"Gao Lian was able to become a Taiwei without any success. His only son became the number one scholar at the age of eleven. Is that so surprising?"

"After all, our official, as long as he likes you, he can do anything."

"Just like our father and son, isn't it a typical example?"

Looking at this beloved son Zhu Xi who stood in front of him and spoke with reason and evidence, Zhu Chong thought carefully for a long time, and had to admit that what his beloved son said was really reasonable.

Thinking about his own father and son, they have no culture, and they just rely on their friendship with Cai Xiang and the eunuch Tong Guan.

Later, he was recommended by Tong Guanzhi, had the opportunity to meet the emperor, and finally won the favor of the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Although the father and son were not born as Jinshi, they both got promoted and made a fortune.

Just like myself, I am now the enshrined official of the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, and my beloved son Zhu Xi is loved by the officials, and now I have to be awarded the post of Hezhou Defense Envoy.

Seeing the change in his father Zhu Chong's expression, he knew that his father had been convinced by him.

Zhu Xi couldn't help but confidently put his hands behind his back and walked slowly in the hall.

Whether it's Cai Jing or Tong Guan, these two guys are greedy and greedy, and they can't afford to be early without profit.

The tribute that my father and son send to Tokyo every year is a huge amount.

Isn't it because of the asylum of the two of them that his father and son were able to become the wanton emperors in the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
