Zhou Shuren knew better, "After all the connections were made, they have returned to their mansion in the capital."
Bamboo orchid, "..."
She thought she would be watching a good show, but the result was that it ended in an anticlimax, and even if there was conclusive evidence, a few young men would have nothing to do with it.
Zhou Shuren continued: "This also shows that the Duke's palace is famous."
Zhulan was speechless, "I think the emperor is also speechless."
Zhou Shuren smiled softly, "Yeah."
The next day, Zhulan thought about it and booked a private room in the teahouse. Mrs. Li was busy staying at home, while Mrs. Zhao had an appointment with Mrs. Hu. Only Su Xuan liked to see the jokes in the Duke's Mansion and went to the teahouse together.
When you arrive at the teahouse, news is conveyed the fastest here. You only need to wait here to get first-hand news.
In the palace, the prince whispered: "By the time, the trial has already begun."
The emperor didn't want to hear it, "I thought the old guy would have some hidden power, haha."
The prince replied, "Your attitude was obvious last year. How can anyone dare to rely on the Duke's Mansion? Even if there was before, after so many years of silence, the tiger has lost its teeth. Who would take the Duke's Mansion, which has an empty title, in their eyes." "
The emperor sneered, "We need to give the Yong'an government more leverage."
The prince asked, "Does my son want to interfere this time?"
There was a coldness in the corner of the emperor's mouth, "No need, let the southern family think that the Yong'an Palace has been defeated, and let the old guy know that he has to work harder if he wants to live."
The prince's eyes were also cold, "These aristocratic families will support poor students every time they take the imperial examination. This time there are five officials working for the southern aristocratic family."
These are just officials from poor families, and the connection between aristocratic families is deeper.
The emperor panicked when he thought about the imperial examination, "The imperial examination has become a way for them to choose asylum."
The prince's heart moved, "Father, you sent Zhou Changzhi to take the exam because you value his thoughts."
The emperor pointed at his head, "The thoughts passed down for a long time are becoming more and more solidified. Whether it's your grandpa Huang or me, we are all affected by Zhou Shuren's thoughts, even you."
The prince understood that his father not only cultivated Zhouhou's son to be capable and trustworthy, but also cared about his thoughts.
The emperor liked to chat with Zhou Changzhi, and the contrast between the officials of the Hanlin Academy walking around the palace became more distinct.
The emperor thought of the aristocratic family, "Take your time and don't be in a hurry."
To avoid getting too confused, this is what Zhou Shuren said. Now that the country has many more departments and changes, a little bit of penetration is not forced, but inevitable step by step.
In the teahouse, Zhulan was speechless for a while while listening to Qingxue's report.
Su Xuan retracted her slightly open mouth and said, "Is it over now? Is it over with a thousand taels in compensation?"
That's it? That's it? If anyone dares to touch her son, she will pay him back a hundredfold!
Zhulan said: "The money spent on booking the box was wasted."
Su Xuan nodded in agreement, and then laughed out loud, "After today, the Duke's Palace has lost all face. If Zhuo Guyu hadn't been favored by the prince, the Duke's Palace would have no place to stand."
Zhulan picked up the tea cup. She hadn't even finished the tea. She was wondering if it would end so soon, but she was speechless. "Drink tea, don't waste it."
Su Xuan smiled happily, she just held a grudge, "I don't see how Mrs. Yong'an Prince has the nerve to go out."
"The Duke's Mansion will be closed."
Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter who you compare it with, it is really unworthy of comparison with petty officials and petty officials. For aristocratic families, a dying camel means that it is about to die!
Several young men came out as if nothing happened and said to Wu Shangheng, "How is it?"
Wu Shangheng gave a thumbs up, "Very good."
He has been seeking death, but he couldn't stop him. Well, he didn't care about it. Ever since he knew that the detention of several people would not stop, he guessed that they would not be able to meet anyone without the emperor's permission!
I thought I had won, haha, I don’t know how much the emperor had figured out, I was really raised to be arrogant.
Several young masters still wanted to say something sarcastic, but now they were stuck. They looked at each other, and they were worried about Wu Shangheng's identity. One of them said: "I will go back now and wait for Qiu Wei to finish entering the capital."
Wu Shangheng squinted his eyes. His imperial examination was a test of true talent and learning. These few people did not have this ability, but he did not remind them.
With fewer aristocratic families in the south, there will be more room for profit. Wu Shangheng said with a smile: "I'll treat you to a drink."
As the carriage from the Duke's Mansion left, Wu Shangheng thought of the few young men the Duke's Mansion wanted to refer to. Forget it, he didn't know anything!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Changzhi left the capital early in the morning in a small blue carriage with the manpower given by the emperor. No manpower was needed from the Marquis Mansion. Except for Changzhi's servant, the driver and the guards who drove the carriage were all the emperor's people.
Zhulan was confused. She took Shuren, who had not gone to the morning meeting, and asked, "Are there too few people?"
"You've asked me eight times."
Zhulan was worried, "I'm afraid Changzhi is in danger."
Zhou Shuren said: "I sent someone to follow him secretly."
Zhulan was surprised that her son would leave so soon. It was a good thing that the news was not leaked. Once it was leaked, she would be frightened just thinking about it. "I'm going to the temple tomorrow."
Zhou Shuren, "??"
Zhulan, "It's settled."
Zhou Shuren couldn't laugh or cry, "Chang Zhi is very clever!"
Having been in officialdom for so many years and working in politics for so many years, Changzhi is very resourceful and resourceful. Last night, his son even hinted that if he gets into trouble, he hopes he can help!
Zhulan looked at the time and waved her hand, "It's time for you to go to the Yamen."
Zhou Shuren asked, "Should I accompany you again?"
"No, you go and do your work."
Just after the Chinese New Year, the household department was very busy and couldn't do without Shuren. She could just lie down by herself for a while.
In the Hanlin Academy, Gu Sheng heard the news when he came in. Mr. Zhou was going to make up for the newly discovered ancient books, so he had to leave the Hanlin Academy for a while.
He also transferred several concubines to work together to supplement the ancient books.
Gu Sheng blinked. His suspicions had come true. He was really not used to Master Zhou's absence.
Gu Sheng returned to the house and looked in the direction of Zhuo Guyu. He was actually here. He admired Zhuo Guyu's patience.
Yesterday, there was a lot of public disgrace in the Duke's mansion. It was said that several of the defendant's young masters drank in a restaurant and became very arrogant.
Zhuo Guyu lowered his head to deal with the errands at hand. He thought he would be embarrassed and angry, but instead he felt particularly calm and had a clearer idea of what he could grasp and what he should do.
Zhuo Guyu felt Gu Sheng's gaze, nodded, and then continued on his errands.
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows. He felt that Zhuo Guyu had grown up and finally lost the aura of the Duke's Palace. Is this a good thing for Zhuo Guyu
In the household department, Zhou Shuren had been busy all morning, stretching his neck. Jinyan walked in at this time and said, "Sir, Master Wang sent someone to deliver a box to you."
Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows and said, "Bring it over."
Jinyan put the box on the table, then left the room and stood guard at the door.
The box was not locked. Zhou Shuren opened the box and found several notebooks in the box. He recognized the handwriting of the notes, picked them up and looked through them, and found that they were the old man's notes during his lifetime.
Zhou Shuren was not in a hurry to read it. Instead, he picked up the letter in the box and was speechless. There were five words in total, "I'll lend it to you."
The most precious thing left by the old man is not the wealth. The Wang family already has enough wealth. The most precious thing is the old man’s insights and experiences!
