Chapter 272
"My lord, another official came to see you at the door, do you want this old slave to wait for you to change your clothes?"

Next door to the Xinyang government office, in a compound that was temporarily renovated, Lu Wang Zhu Changhao was instructing his daughter on the piano art in the garden pavilion, when suddenly an eunuch came in to announce.

The eunuch was very winking and knew how to measure, he didn't ask "whether the prince wants to see you", but only said "whether you want the old slave to serve and change clothes",
At first, it seemed that he was not asking the master for his decision-making, but asking him what to do, which seemed very diligent.

Secondly, it also subtly conveyed a psychological hint that "the prince will definitely be inclined to receive this visitor", which seems unnecessary to ask.

However, Zhu Changhao has also dealt with the eunuchs around him for decades, so how can he not understand his servants.He was only taken aback for a moment, and then said something:

"Gu didn't say that he wanted to see you. What are you doing so futilely, you slave? How many times have you said this? Don't give up on making friends with civil and military ministers! If you hear it in His Majesty's ears, it will only stir up trouble!"

Zhu Changhao was an extremely timid person. When his father died, he was only six years old. He had several older brothers, but they all died before his father. It was his turn to succeed.

He has never been trained how to be a good prince since he was a child, let alone other things.My biggest hobbies are playing the piano, reading Buddhist scriptures, and playing with various ancient bronze censers.

At most one more collection of famous incense is added, but that is just an extension of the hobby of playing the piano and the incense burner, and it is for burning incense, playing the piano and offering incense to the Buddha.

No, at this moment, he was sitting on a stone pier covered with brocade mats, and while reprimanding the old eunuch, he also personally scraped the incense into a gilt Boshan furnace from the Eastern Jin Dynasty with a knife, and then gently compacted it with tools.

The old eunuch was scolded, and he was afraid that his prince would offend others, so he had to say a few more tactful words:
"This old slave knows the lord's difficulties, but the one who came here today is Shen Shuren, governor of Huguang. As soon as he came to the door, he said that he had met King Fu on his way to the city, but he didn't see you, lord. He was worried that he would be unwell."

After hearing this explanation, Zhu Changhao softened his attitude a little. The other party came with reason and evidence, and it would be rude to refuse directly.

At this moment, he frowned. It turned out that his daughter Zhu Yuchan played a wrong trick, and it was a very low-level mistake. Zhu Changhao couldn't bear it all of a sudden, and changed the subject:

"How many times have I taught it! This song of "Oulu Wangji" is indifferent in the heart, abandoning tricks and deceits, and the world and all kinds will naturally get close. At the end of each tune, it is only simple and simple, without fancy decorations.

How can you get the essence of indifference if you can't help but sweep and show off your skills like you just now!This Ning Shenxiang is white!Go back and copy the "Fingering Interpretation" chapter again!deepen impression! "

It turned out that Zhu Changhao was angry because his daughter played the wrong piece, and it was none other than "Oulu Wangji", one of the fifty ancient tunes he had interpreted in detail in his book "Guyin Zhengzong".

The daughter can't even master the music that her father has written and interpreted in depth. No wonder he hates iron.

And this ancient song "Oulu Wangji" comes from an allusion in "Liezi Tangwen":
There was a man who loved seabirds very much. He went to the beach to play with them every day, and the seabirds became close to him over time.One day his father said to him: I heard that seabirds are not afraid of you, so you took this opportunity to catch one and bring it back for me to play with.The next day when the man went to the beach again, no seabird would dare to fly down to play with him.

Many people in later generations have actually heard this allusion, but they don't know the name.

Zhu Changhao interpreted this song in "Guyin Zhengzong", emphasizing that this song is to show "being indifferent to fame and fortune, not caring about worldly affairs, then everything in the world will think you are harmless and get close to you", so the fingering must be ancient and orthodox , Zhongzheng is peaceful, and all fancy techniques should not be used.

If you have the heart of fame and fortune, the heart of possession, you will not be able to get the natural kindness of the world.

Sometimes, when Zhu Changhao plays this piece himself, he can't help but think: Gudu is such a waste, and everything in the world should know that Guren and animals are harmless and not threatening, so they can be close to their relatives and have good intentions...

……

However, at this moment, he couldn't help thinking about it just now, and Zhu Yuchan, who is usually very serious about learning the piano, no longer accepts it, but helps the old eunuch to persuade:
"Father, in today's world, is it useful to be indifferent and abandon deception? If humans and animals are harmless and there is no threat to people, then there will be no disasters.

The king of the world was much more threatening than you that day. Why did Li Zicheng chase us all the way? He has been chasing and killing us for two or three months!
I think "Liezi" is a lie. The seabirds are willing to come down. There must be conch and clams on the beach to eat. Li Zicheng chased us, and it was the same. "

Zhu Yuchan was still young, and she didn't think it was wrong to accept her father's education to keep her pure and indifferent.

However, the two months of relatively rough and miserable life also caused her young heart to have a lot of doubts and shakes.

How can there be any reason in the world that being indifferent to fame and wealth can avoid disasters and far-reaching disasters?The disaster came to him by himself, and he should fight back!
"You...you dare to talk back!" Zhu Changhao was at a loss for words when his daughter directly attacked Zizhishield with Zizhi's spear and counterattacked with the interpretations in "Guyin Zhengzong" and "Liezi".

In addition, he has a cowardly temperament and can't do direct corporal punishment. He is just such a daughter, so he is not willing to beat her, she is just angry.

Zhu Yuchan didn't think that her father would be angry, and felt a little guilty when she saw this, she took a silk handkerchief and rubbed her father's chest to comfort her, muttering:
"I didn't want to be angry with my father, but I just felt that it is too unrealistic to rely on indifference to avoid disasters in this troubled world. There are loyal ministers and generals who are brave and brave and can resist insults for us. Why don't you encourage them?" Woolen cloth.

Like Uncle Zhou in Kaifeng, he did not hesitate to open a warehouse in the name of the palace to reward the army, inspiring the soldiers to fight bloody battles with the thieves and defend the fief, isn't it good?

We only dare to scatter money and reward the army secretly, for fear of being retaliated by Li Zicheng, what is this called?We don't even have confidence in ourselves, so how can the soldiers have the confidence to fight to the death? "

Zhu Changhao was told that his heart was bleeding every word, but he also knew that his daughter was right. He was too timid and always afraid of being retaliated.

"That's all, it's up to you. It's not that we are friends with civil and military, but we have been kicked out like this. We have to imitate King Zhou to boost morale. Your Majesty should not blame him."

Wanting to understand this truth, Zhu Changhao also felt that he had been delayed for too long and was too rude, so he simply asked the old eunuch to serve him and solemnly changed a set of uniforms before going out to meet Shen Shuren.

This is also easy to explain to others: when Shen Shuren came just now, the prince was taking a bath and changing clothes, which made him wait for a long time.

Zhu Yuchan was at the side, seeing that his father had agreed, he said joyfully, "Father is wise! That child should also meet that Shen Futai together. People say that he is very clever, and my child is a little curious."

While changing clothes, Zhu Changhao frowned, feeling that his daughter was always a moth: "You are a girl, how can you see outsiders?"

Zhu Yuchan was a little disappointed, but she couldn't find an excuse, so she had to give up.

After she helped her father to the main hall of the house, Zhu Changhao straightened the crown behind the screen, and then appeared.

And Zhu Yuchan hid behind the screen, didn't make any progress, but didn't leave either.

Zhu Changhao glanced at his daughter, and just smiled helplessly and dotingly, and did not stop this level of nonsense.

"My lower official, Shen Shuren, pay my respects to His Royal Highness King Lu." Shen Shuren had been drinking tea there for a long time, and when he saw the prince, he immediately stood up and saluted.The meeting gift he brought had already been collected by the eunuch in advance.

For a visit of this level, of course, the presents would not be shown in front of the host, and would be handed over directly to the servants.The other party will not open it face to face, and only ask what they have received after the customer has left.

It's not the owner of the money, who cares about the gift.

Zhu Changhao looked Shen Shuren up and down, and he couldn't help but be amazed: "It's really a formidable young man, I've heard that Shen Futai is a rare young talent in the world, but I didn't expect to be so young.

It is ashamed that my Great Ming Dynasty was carried by you juniors.Tsk tsk, Yunwen Yunwu, heroic and majestic, what a talent. "

Shen Shuren: "My lord is too famous, these are just given by my natural parents, what's the point?"

Zhu Changhao also realized that his focus was wrong, so he quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, yes, what is there to say about these, Zi said, judging people by their appearance, the lost Ziyu, Shen Futai is extremely talented, and he definitely doesn't want to be valued by his appearance.

I have long heard that when Mr. Yang Ge was still alive, he relied on your ingenuity to defeat the thief, playing with the thief Zhang Niyu in the palm of his hand, and when he was alone in Wei Hui, he admired the talents of his nephew.Now, I want to thank my nephew for saving my life even more.If it weren't for the Huguang officers and soldiers going north to rescue, Gu, King Fu, and King Zhao would have been dead bones. "

Shen Shuren: "The lord is too famous, and the officials have also heard the praises of the lord from Mr. Huang and others from Gui De Liang Futai. They all said that the lord is a rare and virtuous king who is indifferent to fame and wealth, but generous.

When you were in Guide, you were able to spend as much money as the king of Zhou, giving up millions of two families to reward the army and motivate the soldiers.However, he is more indifferent to fame and wealth than Zhou Wang, and he does not leave his name after dissipating his wealth. The officials really admire him very much.

Don't dare to lie to the prince, in this difficult time, in order to be loyal to the court and accomplish things, the subordinates occasionally have to act in a hurry, subsidize money to become an official, and rely on the family's several generations of maritime merchants to accumulate tens of millions of dollars. Furniture, subsidies and rewards for military pay.

But the lower official really doesn't have the mind of a prince, and the lower official paid the money, because he was afraid that people would not know his integrity and kindness.It is really admirable for someone like Wang Ye to hide his achievements and fame so deeply. "

Zhu Changhao's face blushed when he was told by Shen Shuren, but at the same time he was quite happy in his heart.

The reason why he gave the money without leaving his name was, of course, that he was afraid of being retaliated by Li Zicheng afterwards.But being said by Shen Shuren as being indifferent to fame and fortune, it seems that he is right.

And the politeness between him and Shen Shuren was naturally heard by Zhu Yuchan behind the screen.

She came to eavesdrop, originally just out of curiosity,
Secondly, it was also because she kept an eye out for it. Recently, it was discovered that King Fu's brother Zhu Yousong jumped up and down after learning that Shen Futai was coming, and wanted to take the initiative to meet and make friends.

Zhu Yuchan was afraid that Zhu Yousong had some bad intentions, so she also wanted to see what kind of person Shen Shuren was, whether his character was upright, and whether it was possible for him to be drawn into a conspiracy by Brother Fu.

At this moment, after listening to the initial conversation between the other party and his father, Zhu Yuchan didn't notice anything wrong, the other party was very polite, neither humble nor overbearing.After all, she is only a 15-year-old girl, and she has lived in the boudoir for a long time, so how can she hear the undertones of sophistication.

However, hearing his father repeatedly lamenting that Shen Shuren was unexpectedly young, handsome, and a rare young talent in the world, Zhu Yuchan couldn't help improvising, and a new curiosity arose.

She was imprisoned in the palace since she was a child, and she had no brothers. Except for her father, before she escaped and left Wei Hui, she had never even seen a complete man, only the eunuch who served her.

After leaving Weihui, the past two months have been full of chaos, but I saw some generals and soldiers along the way, and I was very curious at first, because these are men after all.

At this moment, hearing her father say that the other party was young and tall, she secretly poked a hole in the tulle curtain at the edge of the screen, peeked up with one eye, and wanted to know what the younger generation of civil servants should look like of.

"How can a civil servant be so tall? He must be six feet tall. Military generals aren't that tall, right? He looks so heroic. Is this kind of person really from the top two rankings? But he looks so white, he should be a scholar."
