golden scales

Zhang Shiqi was approaching sixty years old, he thought that he had long since extinguished his desire for fame and fame, and only had thoughts about the future to make grandchildren.Little do they know that people are sitting in the house, the opportunity is so hard to come down, and there is no way to stop it.After all, he is an experienced person. The past few decades were the most turbulent era in the Ming Dynasty. He has never eaten pork and is used to others eating pork.Just chatting for a few words, he has a thorough understanding of the cause and effect of up, down, left, and right.

"This matter is related to the foundation of the country, the little old man is due to chance, how can he shirk it!" Zhang Shiqi said seriously: "Master, why not let someone prepare a horse at the side door, the little old man will come when he goes."

"Exactly." Li Mingrui nodded in response.

Zhang Shiqi shook his robes, and went straight to Xiang Yu's office.Since he has been working in the Imperial Academy for a long time, who among the following scribes will not give this old senior face?Naturally, all the way is smooth, straight into the interior.Xiang Yu is writing heartily, has finished scolding Tian Cunshan and Wu Weiye, and is correcting Zhou Jing.Judging from the structure of his memorial, it seems that he wants to wipe out all the people around the prince.

In Zhang Shiqi's hand, there was a light ball of ink, dripping water on the inkstone to grind it, and he could only hear the rustling rhyme, as if he was half of Xiang Yu's accompaniment.

When the Chinese civilization reached the late Ming Dynasty, cultural matters were very particular.If the people of the Tang Dynasty value character, the people of the Song Dynasty value elegance, and the people of the Ming Dynasty place great emphasis on demeanor. No matter how trivial and ordinary things in life are, they all pay attention to rhyme, elegance, style, tolerance, and dignity.

Xiang Yu just glanced at it, and immediately sank into the melody, like a warrior hearing the drums of battle, his fighting spirit became more and more high-spirited.

But after a while, Zhang Shiqi had finished grinding a thick puddle of ink, bowed to leave, and backed out.

At this time, Xiang Yu's memorial also came to an end, echoing the beginning, begging the emperor to accept his faithful advice, and begging the emperor to forgive him.

Li Mingrui's going to find an unknown old scribe was definitely not in a hurry to go to the doctor.

Zhang Shiqi went in and rubbed his ink and then came out, and it was by no means aimless.

I am afraid that the entire Imperial Academy does not know that this tried and tested Zhang Xianggong has the ability to see ten lines at a glance and never forget.If he didn't have this ability, it would be impossible for him to be a scholar when he was a teenager, and become a master of Juren when he was 20 years old.

Scholars think highly of themselves, and they always have an inexplicable sense of superiority towards scholars who fail the Jinshi exam. They never believe that an old scholar who failed to pass the Jinshi exam would have such a high-end talent with a photographic memory.

If Li Mingrui hadn't accidentally discovered that the old scribe could write down hundreds of thousands of words with just a glance when he was copying the copy, so he paid attention to it, and he didn't expect it to be in this situation.

Zhang Shiqi returned to his office, without saying a word, without even saying hello, he laid out a paper and picked up a pen, and wrote smoothly on the rice paper: "I have received the grace of the Lord, and I have been trembling since I got rid of Shao Zhan..." The pen is perfect It turned out to be exactly the same as Xiang Yu's memorial.

After a while, Zhang Shiqi put down the pen, picked up the paper with both hands, and blew the air slightly to make the ink dry faster.Only then did he say to Li Mingrui: "Master, I'm sorry, I'm rude."

"Don't you dare?" Li Mingrui had read it for a long while before saying, "Xiang Yu's article is really wonderful, and I'm afraid it will not be good for the East Palace."

"Master, please send it here." Zhang Shiqi handed the memorabilia to Li Mingrui, with reluctance in his eyes.

Li Mingrui took the stolen memorial, turned around and wanted to leave, suddenly stopped and said: "You go with me, maybe it will be more convenient for the crown prince to summon you."

Zhang Shiqi was overjoyed immediately, and said: "Obey!"

Li Mingrui gently rolled up the manuscript, and quickly walked out through the side door.The carriage prepared by the Li family was already waiting outside, and the two got into the carriage and rushed straight to the outer mansion of the East Palace.

……

After Zhu Cilang got Xiang Yu's memorial, it would be impossible for him not to be angry.An official who has just been interviewed, flattering himself, hoping to gain the favor of the Eastern Palace, and then writing such a murderous memorial, trying to kill Tian Cunshan, Wu Weiye, Zhou Jing and other direct descendants of the Eastern Palace, is this not only despicable?It's just vicious!

However, most of Zhu Cihong's anger is because of the youth hormones given to him by his body.As a professional manager who has experienced great storms, Zhu Cihong has long seen all kinds of ugliness and evil in the material world.Almost instantly, Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Go and call Wu Weiye and let him see this peerless masterpiece."

Wu Weiye didn't think so.

No one knows what he thinks, maybe even he himself doesn't know... After reading the second paragraph of the memorial, that is, after Xiang Yu said that he is a eunuch, fawning on his servants, and being banned in the palace, Wu Weiye is very straightforward fainted.There was another burst of pinching, slapping the chest, carrying it out to water, finally saving Shuzi Wu.

With the crown prince's permission, Liu Ruoyu also finished reading the memorabilia, and slowly handed it back to the prince, saying: "Your Highness, this article is indeed extremely vicious. Although there is no single word aimed at your highness, it does not forget to slander your highness. It seems like a He is loyal and daring, but he can't hide the private revenge inside."

"That's right," Zhu Cihong patted the book case lightly, "He said I was young and ignorant, it seemed to be protecting me, in other words, 'I'm too young to be serious'."

Li Mingrui sat on the official hat chair, still sitting on pins and needles.

"Also, I'm surrounded by eunuchs with bad intentions and low-quality villains, and I'm short of saying 'the one who stays close to Zhu is red, and the one who stays close to ink is black'." Zhu Cihong's voice gradually became colder.

The so-called things gather together and people are divided into groups, if the prince mixes with these people, his own character and surname will be very questionable.Even if the prince is really "pure", then the juvenile prince's judgment and cognition are probably unreliable.Such a prince, why let him hang around outside the palace?Your Majesty should let the prince go home earlier.And with the prince's performance, can he really become a good emperor in the future?This is what everyone cares about.

This is what Xiang Yu's overtones meant.

As Zhu Cihong has seen and heard in the past, in the 250-seven years since the founding of Huangming, has there ever been a case of abolishing the crown prince?Emperor Shenzong Wanli thought about it and actively put it into practice, but in the end he was against the entire civil official group for decades. In the end, he failed to let his beloved King Fu ascend the throne, and was defeated in this national battle. .

To say that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were able to evade the imperial power and kidnap the emperor's will is a bit of an exaggeration.Even Quan Xiangru Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng dare not say that.However, in the process of confrontation and cooperation between the civil official group and the emperor, they have become existences not inferior to the imperial power, and even overwhelmed them at certain times. This is an indisputable fact.

Now the Donglin Fushe family has almost been cleaned up, but the civil servants will always be the natural allies of the Prince of the Eastern Palace, and there is a sense of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend".When Zhu Cihong did not really offend the entire civil servant group, no one would attack the prince.If someone is so closed-minded, maybe Xiang Yu will be the first to jump out and "protect" the prince, so as to prove his loyalty to Guoben.

However, if the emperor can teach this prince who does not play according to the rules, it will be something that many people would like to hear.

Now the crown prince has not touched everyone's core interests, but showing signs of restlessness, who knows what will happen in the future?

"The most vicious of them is the sentence 'Huiwen breaks the law, and Zhao Qian should be convicted'." Liu Ruoyu sighed.
