King Yu's heart moved. On the one hand, he very much hoped to get Luo Xin's support.Although Luo Xin has left the military circle now, even a blind man knows that Luo Xin still has great prestige in the army.Getting the support of Luo Xin means getting the support of the military circles.On the other hand, his lonely heart desperately needs a friend who can confide the depression and hardship in his heart.At this time, he can put down his dignity to Zhang Juzheng who has not yet become famous, let alone Luo Xin who has great influence in the army?

Although his character is cowardly, it does not mean that he is stupid. On the contrary, as a descendant of the old Zhu family, he knows the way of the emperor better than ordinary people.Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said:
"No, then in the future, when there is no one else, don't call me King Yu, call me Zaihou."

"I dare not!" Luo Xin said hastily.

King Yu's face darkened, he dressed in a suit and said angrily, "Then I can only call you Master Luo."

Luo Xin smiled wryly and said, "King Yu, even if you and I don't address each other's titles and positions, you are older than me. How can I call you Zaihou? Doesn't this make Buqi lose etiquette?"

"This..." King Yu froze for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and said after pondering, "Then why don't you call me big brother?"

"This..." This time it was Luo Xin's turn to show hesitation.

"No, I am a prince, and you are a marquis. It is not a violation of the rules for you and my brothers to match each other. If you don't even agree to this point, I'd better call you Master Luo."

Although Luo Xin was still hesitating on his face, he was overjoyed in his heart.The homework I did last night was not in vain, Yu Wang really longed for his support, and really longed for a confidant.This is what Luo hoped for in his heart, but he just showed appropriate embarrassment, and when King Yu pretended to be warm and angry, he immediately nodded and said:

"Brother, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

"Good! Good! Good!" King Yu repeatedly applauded and laughed loudly: "Hahaha..."

The two talked and laughed, arm in arm, and walked into a school all the way.Prince Yu's Mansion is very formal about learning, and has built a school specially, although he is the only student.

When the two entered the school, Yu Wang sat in the student's seat, and Luo Xin also sat in the teacher's seat.In fact, Luo Xin is no stranger to giving lectures, on the contrary, he is very proficient.In his previous life, he also taught at a university, and he is very proficient in this field.Looking at King Yu sitting opposite him, Luo Xin showed a kind smile on his face.

He knew that he had to show his true skills. If he just chatted with Yu Wang, he might become Yu Wang's friend, but it was difficult to gain Yu Wang's respect.Luo Xin's goal is not only to be Yu Wang's teacher, not only Yu Wang's friend, but the relationship between teachers and friends.In this way, King Yu has both respect and friendship for him, so that he can stand out among the teachers of King Yu, such as Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan, and make King Yu more dependent on himself.

"King Yu...Brother, how far have you learned?"

When King Yu heard that Luo Xin wanted to ask, he rarely showed a hint of pride on his face and said:

"No, although my knowledge is not as good as yours, but if I am allowed to take the imperial examination, I think it will be no problem to take the second place after you."

"Oh?" Luo Xin became interested: "Show me your previous articles."

King Yu handed Luo Xin a stack of papers he had prepared, which he had prepared long ago.Because every time Emperor Jiajing sent him a new teacher, he would first understand his knowledge.

Luo Xin took the stack of papers and flipped through them page by page. As he flipped through the papers, Luo Xin's face showed excitement.King Yu really didn't lie. Although what he said just now was a bit exaggerated, there is absolutely no problem with being a Jinshi.After reading the stack of papers, Luo Xin put it down, looked at King Yu and said:
"Brother, with your current knowledge, you don't need to study these books anymore."

King Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a look of great joy appeared on his face.In fact, everyone who reads will find stereotyped essays boring.King Yu has long been bored with reading.Now hearing Luo Xin say that he doesn't need to learn anything from books, he still has the habitual fear of the teacher in his heart, so he said modestly:
"No, I have also read your "Confucianism and Mencius" many times, and I have benefited a lot."

Luo Xin smiled endlessly, looking directly at King Yu.It wasn't until the expression on King Yu's face was a little unnatural, that he opened his mouth and said:

"Brother, your future is not to take the imperial examination."

"I..." Yu Wang's face was flushed, and then he became depressed and said: "Then what is my future? Father, he..."

After all, King Yu is not familiar enough with Luo Xin, that is to say, Luo Xin has not yet gained the trust of King Yu.So when King Yu said this, he kept silent.

Luo Xin pondered for a moment, he knew King Yu better now.Emperor Jiajing's indifference to King Yu and King Jing's pressing step by step have made King Yu lose his confidence.If he can help King Yu rebuild his self-confidence, it will undoubtedly make King Yu more dependent on him.When one loses self-confidence, regains it with the help of another.There is no doubt that the person who helps to build self-confidence will become another person's spiritual support.Become the person he trusts and relies on the most.

"Brother, do you think His Majesty doesn't pay enough attention to you?"

"I……"

King Yu's eyes flickered, his expression was complicated, and gradually a trace of wariness towards Luo Xin appeared in his eyes. At this time, King Yu began to suspect that Luo Xin was sent by King Yu to test and monitor him.

Seeing the wariness in King Yu's eyes, Luo Xin showed a more cordial smile on his face and said:
"Brother, let me analyze it for you."

King Yu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Luo Xin longingly.King Yu, who was deeply lost and never recognized by Emperor Jiajing, no one knew how much he longed for good news, even if it was a little bit of good news.

"Brother, think about who are King Jing's teachers? Think about who are your teachers?"

King Yu's expression was blank for a moment, and gradually the light of hope appeared in his eyes, and he heard Luo Xin's voice like the sound of heaven:
"Your first teacher was Xu Jie. What kind of official position is Xu Jie now? Chief Assistant of the Cabinet!

Your second teacher is Gao Gong, what official position is Gao Gong now?Cabinet Second Assistant!

Your third teacher is Chen Yiqin, who is now taking over Gao Gong to lead the Imperial Academy!
There are also Zhang Juzheng and Yin Shidan, both celebrities for a while.Buqi firmly believes that these two people will also enter the cabinet in the future and become the pillars of Ming Dynasty.

Your Majesty appointed such a group of people as the teachers of the eldest brother, don't you understand? "

A radiance appeared on King Yu's face, and his face flushed with excitement.No one has ever said such words to him, but now that he heard what Luo Xin said and thought about it seriously, it was really true.I couldn't help being so excited that I even stuttered when I spoke.

"No, no, you...you...you mean...father, he likes me?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded affirmatively.

"Then...why did the royal father..."

"Don't make you the crown prince?"

There was a hint of guard in Yu Wang's eyes again, but at this time the desire in his heart overcame everything. He was eager to know why his father didn't make him the crown prince, so he gritted his teeth and nodded:

"Yes!"

Luo Xin smiled and said, "I have to ask Master Tao!"

King Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "You mean... the two dragons don't meet each other?"

"That's right!" Luo Xin nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty thinks that if you are crowned prince, then you are a dragon!"

Yu Wang is also very clear about the fact that the two dragons do not meet each other.

In August of the 13th year of Jiajing, Zhu Zaiji, the eldest son of the emperor, died of illness just two months after he was born.When Jiajing was still immersed in great grief, Tao Zhongwen told him his latest research results, "The two dragons will not meet each other." Hearing what Tao Zhenren said, Emperor Jiajing was suddenly afraid.Two years later, when he had Zhu Zaihe, Zhu Zaihou, and Zhu Zaizhen again, he was overjoyed and remembered "two dragons don't meet each other" again.It's only been three years since the eldest son died, and with his memory still fresh, he decided to see these children less and not to be crowned prince.

Jiajing's mother came forward.The old lady tried her best to have a long talk with her son. After a long time, Jiajing had to allow her son to give lectures.This year, Zhu Zaihe was 14 years old.The prince leaving the pavilion is different from ordinary people entering the school. There is a set of very elaborate and complicated etiquette ceremonies, and Jiajing, as Laozi, must appear.

Just after the ceremony, Zhu Zaihe fell ill and died not long after.The Jiajing incident was a painful experience, and Jiajing strictly abided by the "two dragons will not meet each other" from then on, and had long been indifferent to the remaining two sons Yu Wang Zhu Zaihou and Jing Wang Zhu Zaizhen.

"This is Your Majesty's love for you!" Luo Xin continued to lower his voice, "Your Majesty is a cultivator of Taoism. If the two dragons don't meet, they can only hurt you, brother, but not Your Majesty. This is your majesty's delay." The real reason for not making you the crown prince."

King Yu's expression gradually became excited, the gloom and depression on his face were swept away, and a wave of confidence gradually radiated from his heart.

Luo Xin looked at King Yu who was gradually regaining his confidence, and nodded secretly in his heart. However, Luo Xin was a man for two generations, and he knew that Yuren knew that he knew that he could not make King Yu confident. If King Yu believed that he would inherit the rule, for My dependence will be reduced, after all, I have just come into contact with King Yu, but Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others have been with Gao Gong for a long time, I am afraid that at that time, King Yu will be closer to Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng et al.

"Brother, these are just my own conjectures. The so-called emperor's heart is unpredictable, after all, King Jing is still watching. If the elder brother acts a little differently, the final result is unpredictable."

King Yu's complexion changed drastically, and his surging self-confidence fell back. The ups and downs made him feel like he was riding a roller coaster, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he stood up, saluted Luo Xin deeply, and said sincerely:
"Please don't teach me."

Luo Xin said softly: "First of all, the conversation between you and me today must be kept secret, and no second person shall be allowed to know about it. You must know that His Majesty hates others to speculate on the emperor's heart. If it is spread out, it will affect His Majesty's perception of you. No offense Today, I also took the risk to clear up my brother's doubts."

A look of gratitude appeared on King Yu's face, and he saluted Luo Xin again:
"No, save it for my brother. I swear here for my brother that not only will not a word of the conversation between you and me today be leaked, but even a word of our conversation in the future will not be leaked."

"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "If anyone asks, elder brother will tell you that I have been explaining to you my book "The Combination of Confucius and Mencius."

"it is good!"

King Yu nodded happily, with excitement in his eyes.Under the suppression of Emperor Jiajing and the double-teaming of several teachers, he hardly had any secrets, like a transparent person, he lived a life of fear and fear every day, walking on thin ice.Now I have a secret with Luo Xin, although this secret is very small, but it makes Yu Wang who has never had such an experience excited.

Of course, Yu Wang is not a stupid person, he judged from this incident that Luo Xin was not the person whose father Wang took pictures of him.How could a person who is willing to share a secret with you be someone sent by the emperor to monitor him?

"No, then what are you going to teach me?" Yu Wang was also a little confused at this moment, since Luo Xin didn't plan to teach him the Four Books and Five Classics, what are you going to give him?
"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you next!" Luo Xin said calmly, "As a future emperor, you should care more about court affairs now."

Hearing Luo Xin's words, King Yu's shoulders drooped and he said, "No way, how dare I do that?"

Luo Xin smiled and said: "I didn't let you make your own voice, but I can't ignore the political affairs of the court. Only by constantly observing the situation in the court can you determine who can be used by you and who should Keep it at arm's length."

King Yu was silent for a moment and said, "No, actually, I am also paying attention to the affairs of the court, and sometimes some teachers also talk to me."

"Then what do you think of the current situation in Daming?"

King Yu's spirit was revived. He was nearly 30 years old. Even those scholars who were not from the royal family cared about and talked about government affairs all day long. How could he, a disciple of the royal family, not want to care about government affairs?It's just that he didn't dare to show it, he was afraid of being known by Emperor Jiajing, thinking that he wanted to seize power.And his teachers seemed to be very afraid of this matter, and they hardly talked about the government with him, but only asked him to read sage books.He didn't have any friends, so he felt uncomfortable, but now he saw Luo Xin asking about the government, he immediately became excited.

"Da Ming's situation is not good!" King Yu looked at Luo Xin with burning eyes.

Luo Xin nodded and praised in his heart, it seems that King Yu is just cowardly, but not stupid.No wonder he would support Zhang Juzheng after he ascended the throne.

"Tell me in detail!" Luo Xin's eyes were full of encouragement.
