"Where can I go after leaving the palace?" Chen Dun has been asking himself these two days. When he heard the news that the palace was going to be reorganized, he felt a little uneasy and had to think about where to go.
A more suitable place, where food and shelter are provided, and it is very safe. The only thing that makes him uncomfortable is the fat little prince. Not only does he hold a high position, but he can also command thousands of volunteers and decide their life and death.
And Chen Dun consciously thinks that in terms of his family background, he can be regarded as a member of the official family and has seen the world, although that has all disappeared with the death of his father. In terms of knowledge, he was enlightened at the age of three and could read the "Four Books" by the age of five; after the age of seven,
He began to practice martial arts. Although he could not hit a target with a hundred steps, he could still make a perfect arrow within fifty steps. He was often praised as a child prodigy. However, he lost the first confrontation with the young prince. Both his momentum and agility were suppressed.
After seeing him, he always wanted to find an opportunity to meet him again, but he seemed to have forgotten him a long time ago, and did not raise his eyelids even when he saw him. This made him, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, very unhappy.
But now Chen Dun feels some regrets. He made too much trouble in the mansion some time ago, and the stewards in the mansion are already tired of him. If the mansion is to be reorganized, the old and weak will be eliminated. If he wants to keep them, they will definitely not do it.
Even if he said a kind word, he would not be accepted, and he understood that staying in the palace temporarily was the wisest choice at the moment, but the arrogance in his bones made him unwilling to beg the young prince in a lowly manner, so he could only act according to the situation.
After the selection began, Chen Dun planned to stay based on his own ability. The Council Bureau and the Guards did not want to do so. He felt that it was not a big problem to join the guard army with his own ability. If he was lucky, he could be a team leader or a flag leader.
In this way, he can go into battle to kill the enemy. But he found that the young prince's vision was too poor. None of the chosen leaders had the ability to discern people. They only looked at whether the volunteers were strong, experienced in facing enemies, and good at using them.
What kind of weapons, whether you can ride a horse or sail a boat, don't even ask about the art of war and tactics.
As batches of people were selected away, Chen Dun, who had not yet gone, was a little panicked. He had to recommend himself with a shy face, but those people were proficient in bow and horse, proficient in the art of war, and had gone into battle to kill the enemy.
Jiang didn't believe what he said at all, but everyone thought he was talking nonsense, and even taught him not to lie as a child. In the end, they simply stopped listening to his blabbering and just ignored it. At this time, he found that he could go to a place where
There are only craftsmanship that has never been considered before.???
?
When Chen Dun turned to the Craftsman Bureau, he found that the selection of people here was coming to an end. Most of the people left on the field were orphans with the same mentality as him, and the standards for selecting people here were low, but they were not like
It was as easy as he imagined. First, to join the craftsmanship business, you must at least be good at the craft, and second, you must be at least twenty years old. These two conditions are rigid, and even one of them cannot be met. At this time, he
I'm really confused. Am I really about to be driven out of Prince Wei's Mansion in despair?
"The guards all accept young men under the age of twenty, why don't you, the craftsmanship bureau, accept them?" Of course, Chen Dun was not willing to just leave like this, and rushed to Zhou Xiang's case and asked loudly.
"Yes, we also have skills, why don't you accept us?" Chen Dun shouted, and the orphans who had already hit a wall started to make noises.
"It's not that we don't accept it, but His Highness's order is that young people should give priority to replenishing the Guards. If you don't believe it, you can ask, or you can go to the Guards to participate in the selection." Chen Dun is a 'celebrity' in the mansion, how can Zhou Xiang
I don't know, but I know that this kid can stir up trouble even if he is unreasonable, so I don't get entangled with him, but directly take out the prince and drive him away.
"Mr. Zhou, we are considered to be members of the government. Please be accommodating. Although we are young, we are all skilled and we will not eat for free. Take us in!" Chen Dun thought if Zhou Xiang refused directly.
I made a lot of noise to force him to accept me, but I hit a nail that was neither soft nor hard, which made him embarrassed to make a fuss, so he changed his eyes and said.
"It doesn't matter what I said. If you violate military orders, you will be beheaded!" Zhou Xiang stretched out his hand to draw the knife and said with a smile.
"The guards are even more unreasonable. They only choose guys who can dance with guns and sticks, and don't ask about the art of war at all. I think Master Zhou is very smart and will definitely not drive us away." Chen Dun didn't.
Give up and continue.
"Oh, it turns out that you also know the art of war. It's really amazing. It seems that the guards are really blind and don't recognize talents. I will definitely report it to Your Highness!" Zhou Xiang said with a surprised look on his face, "As for me, the guards
If you don't want to give up, you can try the Council Bureau. There are generals there who are proficient in war strategies, knowledgeable about the past and present, and have a keen eye for people. However, our craftsmen and bureaus are all rough guys who work hard. It is really aggrieved for you to come here.
??? ??? ” Then the conversation changed and he was sent to the Senate Bureau again.
"Are you...are you the entertainment boy?" Chen Dun is smart and clever, but he is still a child. He is no match for Zhou Xiang, a petty official who has been in the officialdom for many years. After three rounds, he was installed and waiting for him.
When he realized that they were trying to drive him away in disguise, he couldn't help but get angry.
"How dare you? Our craftsmanship can't accommodate great masters, so we can only ask you to find another job." Zhou Xiang waved his hands and said with a smile, but by this time, even a fool could hear what he meant. It was obvious that he was
don't want.
"The world is so big that there is no room for me. I can live a good life without this poor prince's palace. Brothers are gone. If we meet people who defect to the prince's palace again, we will say that the people here are hypocrites and don't come back.
He might be driven away one day." Seeing that Zhou Xiang couldn't make sense, Chen Dun had to resort to his last resort.
"Okay, don't forget to go over there to get some expenses!" Zhou Xiang was still unmoved, pointing to the desk not far away. It was the place set up by the General Administration to deposit severance pay, and there was a large box of copper coins.
But no one went to collect it, only two bored book clerks were watching the fun.
"Humph, I don't want your stinky money." Chen Dun scoffed and didn't look back. But after taking two steps, he found that none of his brothers who obeyed him had followed him. He turned around and said in confusion, "Hey
, why don’t you leave?”
"Brother Dun, we don't want to leave. We can still have food, drink and a house to live here." A child looked at Chen Dun and murmured.
"Zhang Ping, you have no loyalty, Li Zhen, Tan Fei, why don't you leave?" Chen Dun pointed at the child and said angrily.
"Brother Dun, we don't want to leave either. My brother is still young and will starve to death if he leaves the palace." Li Zhen looked at the smaller child he was holding and shook his head.
"What about you?" Chen Dun yelled at another child.
"Brother Dun, I'm not leaving either. My mother has already joined the craftsmanship bureau."
"Okay, these are all unfaithful things. I...I'll go by myself!" Chen Dun shouted angrily and turned around to leave, but his steps were not fast. He looked back from time to time to see if anyone was following him.
"It's good for this kind of kid to leave. Look at the torment he made in the house. Otherwise, the children will have to imitate him!" said a bystander.
"Yes, at that time he was the leader in making a big fuss at the festival. His Highness looked pitiful and did not kick him out. However, he did not repay the favor and instead resorted to other methods. That is to say, Your Highness was lenient, otherwise he would have been kicked out long ago.
." Someone looked at his back and continued.
"Damn it, if my son had beaten him to the point of death, I would still be able to let him cause trouble everywhere."
…
"Master, I'm not leaving today, let's see what you can do to me?" No one tried to persuade him to stay, and all he heard were accusations. This didn't make Chen Dun feel ashamed, but it made him furious. He turned around and sat down on Zhou Xiang.
On the writing desk.
"Hey, why is this kid so shameless? He said he wanted to leave, but he refused to leave."
"He even sprinkled it and everyone kicked him out. He can't even think about leaving today!"
"Okay, everyone, please stop making trouble. Just stay here if he doesn't leave. Anyway, there is no shortage of food for him." Just as everyone was scrambling to carry Chen Dun out, a voice came from outside the circle.
.
"Your Highness, this child is a black sheep. Keeping him in the house will lead to mischief among the children." Seeing the prince coming, Zhou Xiang hurriedly saluted.
"Oh, who knows how to tame a horse if it is disobedient?" Zhao Bing looked at Chen Dun sitting on the table and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, I want to be disciplined!" someone immediately replied.
"What if the horse is too strong and cannot be trained well?" Zhao Bing asked again.
"Your Highness, as long as the horse... is castrated, its temperament will naturally soften and it will become obedient." A veterinarian who had just been recruited by the craftsmanship team hesitated and said.
"Well, Wang De." Zhao Bing called Wang De.
"Your Highness, the young one is here!" Wang De, who was following the prince, immediately stepped forward.
"I heard that you lack a small yellow door to empty the urinal, right?" Zhao Bing asked seriously.
"Back to Your Highness, several people from Xiaohuangmen died on the way, and there has been no new recruit in the palace." Wang De was also smart and understood what the prince meant as soon as he heard it.
"Take him away and train him properly. As the manager of the inner palace, what can you do without someone to serve you personally?" Zhao Bing said, pointing to Chen Dun who was relying on him there.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Come, take him away." Wang De said with joy, and immediately two strong Xiao Huangmen came up from behind and took him away regardless of Chen Dun's struggle and howling. The people beside him also
They were all happy. They also saw that the prince and his servant were acting. His highness wanted to scare this unruly boy. He didn't really want to kill him, but it scared Chen Dun so much that he wet his pants.
"Everyone, listen up. The remaining staff in the mansion will form an old battalion and put it under the control of the inner palace. Those who insist on leaving can also go there to get money, but His Highness has said that he will never leave anyone in the mansion behind."
This was the end of the selection process. Wang De stood on the high platform and shouted loudly.
"Your Highness, Holy Ming!"
