Chapter 121: As You Like It

East Palace.

Backyard gazebo.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Tong expectantly, his mind completely leaving the chess game beside him. After all, Hu Fei was far more important to him than winning or losing a game of chess.

Li Shanchang also put down the chess piece in his hand and turned to look at Zhu Tong, with a smile in his eyes and a hint of curiosity.

"Today in the morning hall of the Governor's Mansion, Mr. Hu was accused by everyone because he was late. He only knows how to make money by reciting poems and cannot be used in a big way. If someone is needed to go to the battlefield in the future, he will be useless."

"After hearing this, Mr. Hu not only refuted everyone sternly, but also used a golden dragon dagger to carve a poem on the pillar of the meeting hall before leaving, which caused an uproar in the whole audience."

With an excited smile on his face, Zhu Tong told Zhu Biao exactly what happened in the Governor's Mansion earlier today.

"Tell me the point! What kind of poem did he compose?!"

Zhu Biao waved his hands and urged.

"The military song should be sung with a ring of swords and an oath to destroy the Hunu and come out of Yuguan. It is only necessary to die for the country on the battlefield, why return with a body wrapped in horse leather."

Zhu Tong thought about it for a moment and read out the poem written by Hu Fei word for word in a mellow voice.

After listening to this poem, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Hu Fei, who had never been on a battlefield or entered a military camp, could write such a magnificent and domineering poem.

"What a poem! What a poem!"

"Every sentence and every word seems to be filled with a heroic spirit of disregarding death. I didn't expect that he could write such a poem. I can't help but admire him!"

Li Shanchang was stroking his beard while recalling these four lines of poetry and couldn't help but praise them.

"He always seems to be able to do some shocking things, and he won't stop until he makes the whole city a storm!"

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement and couldn't help but say, with a hint of joy in his eyes, but more of relief.

"Your Highness, it seems that you were right in choosing to conquer him."

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biao and said seriously.

"Yes, at first I only saw his talent for businessmanship, but I didn't expect that he would show off his literary talents soon after, and now he has used his literary talents to write such inspiring poems. He seems to be able to give me all the time.

The palace creates surprises.”

"It's a pity that he really only has the talent of a merchant and a scholar, not a martial artist. Otherwise, he would definitely have a place in the army, and maybe he could also make immortal contributions."

Zhu Biao said with regret while praising.

"Your Highness, I don't think so."

Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment and said with a smile.

"Oh? What's your opinion, Qing Han?"

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, turned to look at Li Shanchang, and asked slowly.

"Who said that those who join the army must have martial arts skills? One against ten? It can make the battlefield strategized and win the battle against people thousands of miles away. So what if he has no strength?! The two armies are facing each other. It is reliable.

Not only the bravery of the soldiers, but also the step-by-step and cunning moves of the people leading the troops can often lead to surprise victory."

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biao and said thoughtfully.

After listening to Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on his face and he nodded slowly.

"What Han Qing said is absolutely true. With his drive to cause trouble in the capital, he will probably cause a lot of headaches to the enemy."

Zhu Biao nodded and said with a smile.

After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Li Shanchang and Zhu Tong also looked at each other and smiled, as if they had imagined what might happen in the future.

"Your Highness, it seems that this son can occupy a place in the merchant world, the literary world, and the military. It depends on how Your Highness plans to train him."

Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Biao and said slowly.

"It's too early to say this now. There's no need to rush into this moment. He has already resisted letting him enter the Imperial College and the Governor's Mansion. If it hadn't been for the emperor father's decree, I'm afraid he would have found a reason to refuse."

"Let's wait until his edges are smoothed out. With his current temperament, even if he joins the army, he will not be able to abide by the rules. Perhaps, after the spring of next year, I will have a final conclusion."

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"Well, Your Highness is right."

Li Shanchang nodded in agreement.

The longer he stayed with Zhu Biao, the more he heard about Hu Fei's deeds. He couldn't help but become curious about this relative he hadn't seen for a long time, and wanted to find a chance to meet him.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Your Majesty, another incident occurred in the capital city today."

Pang Yuhai slowly walked into the main hall, bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting on the bench and reading the memorial, and said slowly.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, glanced at Pang Yuhai, and asked lightly.

"Today in the morning hall of the Governor's Mansion, Mr. Hu was arguing with everyone about his desire to serve the country. In desperation, he used a golden dragon dagger to carve a poem in the meeting hall. Within half a day, it spread throughout the capital."

Pang Yuhai replied with a smile.

"Oh? Is this happening? What poem did he compose?"

Hearing Pang Yuhai's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but become interested, put down the memorial in his hand, and asked curiously.

"The military song should be sung with a ring of swords and an oath to destroy the Hunu and come out of Yuguan. It is only necessary to die for the country on the battlefield, why return with a body wrapped in horse leather."

Pang Yuhai thought for a moment and answered slowly.

This matter was detected by the inspector and reported back to the palace. In addition to supervising the officials, the inspector's responsibility is also to report important events that occur in the capital city every day back to the palace. Generally, if it is not a case of corruption among the officials,

They would all be presented directly to Pang Yuhai, who would then play it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Swear to destroy the Hu Nu coming out of Jade Pass..."

"Why do you need to return a body wrapped in horse leather?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, silently reciting these two sentences that made him feel a little excited, with a trace of surprise on his face.

"As soon as Mr. Hu's poem came out, no one present dared to argue with it, and they were all ashamed. When the old slave heard this poem just now, he was very excited and a little excited."

Pang Yuhai couldn't help but said with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that this boy could have such ambition! How could he write such a beautiful sentence if he didn't have what he had in mind?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with some emotion.

"Yes, Mr. Hu does seem a bit cynical on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he actually has the aura to gallop on the battlefield and regard death as home. Mr. Hu is really a good teacher."

Pang Yuhai took a deep breath and echoed.

Many people still have the impression of Hu Fei when he was the most handsome man in the capital. Little do they know that Hu Fei today is no longer what he used to be.

"Perhaps my worries are overblown. If I can teach such a son, how could he do anything disloyal to me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, thought, and murmured to himself.

"Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Pang Yuhai was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was mumbling to himself, and asked doubtfully.

He didn't hear what Zhu Yuanzhang said just now.

"nothing."

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, shook his head and said.

Pang Yuhai hesitated for a moment and did not ask again.

"I have given you an oral order, instructing the Governor's Office not to clear away the poems carved by Hu Fei, but to leave them there to alert everyone every day!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, looked at Pang Yuhai, and said seriously.

"The slave obeys the order."

Pang Yuhai agreed, bowed respectfully, and slowly withdrew.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, with his hands behind his back, thinking about what Hu Fei had done in the recent period, and murmuring something in his mouth.

...

Hu Mansion.

Linglong Court.

In the evening.

Just as Hu Fei had just come back and his butt was still hot from sitting, he heard a burst of laughter coming from the front yard, and then saw Hu Weiyong walking quickly towards the main hall, swinging his arms.

Seeing Hu Weiyong's happy face, Hu Fei already knew that his poem must have caused quite a stir again.

"Son! My good son!"

Hu Weiyong shouted loudly as he walked into the main hall and came to Hu Fei. He looked up and down with a smile of approval on his face.

"What happened? Did you get a wife?"

Hu Fei was drinking tea and joking as if nothing had happened.

"Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about?!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, his smile froze on his face, and then he scolded angrily with a straight face.

Hu Fei smiled, ignored Hu Weiyong's feigned anger, and drank tea by himself.

"You just drink for yourself, right?! I came all the way to see you and didn't even bother to entertain you?!"

Looking at Hu Fei who was minding his own business, Hu Weiyong curled his lips and sat aside with dissatisfaction, a look of displeasure on his face. His originally good mood was suddenly poured with cold water...
