Chapter 86 The Actor and the Scholar

 Xia Yuanji stared blankly at Zhu Yunxi's back walking away from the Hubu Yamen.

Suddenly he realized that he wanted to send the other person away.

But just as he was about to catch up, he was stopped by the leading guard.

Sun Cheng looked at Xia Yuanji, who had confused eyes, and said politely: "Mr. Xia, please stay. I think there are many things going on in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so there is no need for Mr. Xia to see you off. Do your best in state affairs!"

Xia Yuanji stood there blankly, nodding his head blankly.

When I looked up again, I could still see the figures of Prince Huaiyou and his party.

When Zhu Yunxi hugged Zhu Huang and left the household department, he heard the footsteps of Sun Cheng chasing after him, and said: "In the future, we will make it clear to the Chang family and set a rule. Every ten days of ice food profits will be made." According to today's share, it will be sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs and handed over to Xia Yuanji."

Sun Cheng nodded quietly.

At this time, he had some ideas in his mind, as to why the Third Master wanted to send tax money to the Ministry of Accounts this time.

He felt that he had been with Mr. San for several months, and he had probably become a little smarter.

The Third Master came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to pay taxes today, and it must be to leave a foreshadowing so that he can attack certain people in the court in the future.

But how the third master wants to operate, he can't figure out at the moment.

Maybe, if I wait a little longer, I will be able to figure it out.

Wait until the group of people have just arrived in front of Hongwu Gate.

In the distance, on the street to the west, there was a person walking quickly.

"Third Master, he is ours."

After Sun Cheng saw the face of the visitor clearly, he walked to Zhu Yunxi and explained in a low voice.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes darkened. If Sun Cheng could introduce him so carefully, he must be the person who was released to do the work.

Recently, he only told Sun Cheng to investigate the matter of the extra Qing Yi in the troupe.

I arrived in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

He then bowed and clasped his fists: "I see you, Third Master."

Zhu Yunxi raised his hand: "Get up."

The man straightened up, with sweat on his face, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Third Master, Baihu, that Qingyi has made some move!"

……

In the north part of Yingtian City, there is Jinwu Back Street at the foot of Jiming Mountain.

In a house on the east side of the Red Banqiao in the southwest corner of the Imperial Academy, Zhu Yunxi took Sun Cheng and the bodyguards who had gone to Hongwu Gate to report the news. The three of them were lying on the wall of the courtyard in concealment.

Behind the three people is the Jinxiang River flowing from Jiming Mountain. The canopy of trees on the bank is huge and lush, and ordinary people cannot observe the courtyard wall here from behind.

The house in the sight of Zhu Yunxi and the others is also blocked by a patch of shrubs and green plants.

"How long have they been in there?" Zhu Yunxi lay on the wall, moved his body, and asked in a low voice.

The tiles under him were a little scratchy, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

The guard swallowed his saliva and replied in a low voice: "The room where Qing Yi came in has been there for a while. But the supervisor of the Imperial College only went in when his subordinates went to look for the third master."

"So, I guess it's six-quarters of an hour..." Zhu Yunxi pondered the matter and muttered the time in a low voice.

Six quarters of an hour is enough to do a lot of things.

But, how could a Qingyi, who had just arrived in Beijing from Suzhou Prefecture, hook up with a supervisor from the Imperial College so quickly?

The guard probably saw Zhu Yunxi's guess and whispered: "Third Master, these two people entered the house. My subordinates brought people closer to investigate, but there was no abnormal sound..."

Zhu Yunxi immediately asked: "Who is the prisoner who went in?"

The guard replied: "Lan Miao was born in the Imperial College."

"Supervise orchid seedlings?" Zhu Yunxi muttered hesitantly.

The guard nodded: "Lan Miao, the prison student, together with Tan Mingming, He Mang, and Cheng Hao, the prison students, are known as the four gentlemen of the Imperial Academy. They go out and come in together all day long, and they have many friends."

After finishing speaking, the personal guard explained the detailed background of Lan Miao and the other four gentlemen to Zhu Yunxi one by one.

Looking at the closed door not far away, Zhu Yunxi suddenly asked: "There are no classes in the Imperial College today?"

The guard said: "The Imperial College is closed today."

Zhu Yunxi pondered: "Are you going to have a break from school today?"

Sun Cheng, who was lying on the side, saw that the door had not been opened for a long time, his eyes were filled with murderous intent and he whispered: "Third Master, do you want my subordinates to rush in with someone and find those two people out?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned and thought silently.

That Qingyi was an extra Zhengdan in the Beijing opera troupe from Suzhou Prefecture. He behaved strangely in the East Palace that day, and he was definitely not an ordinary person.

And now he is getting involved with the four gentlemen who are the supervisors of the Imperial College.

What exactly is Lu trying to do?

A question mark crossed Zhu Yunxi's mind. It was surprisingly quiet in the East Palace these days. It was so quiet that even when he changed the title of Huaiyou County Prince, neither Lu nor Zhu Yunwen said a word.

It was the same as in the past, the two sides looked up but did not look down, Lu was still smiling, and Zhu Yunwen still didn't want to see him.

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up, he grabbed the wall with both hands, and sorted out the identities and backgrounds of the four gentlemen of the Imperial Academy previously introduced by the guards in his mind.

A crucial factor was ignored by him!

Under the gaze of Sun Cheng and his guards, Zhu Yunxi asked hurriedly: "What do Na Lanmiao, Tan Mingming, He Mang, and Cheng Hao have in common? Especially their academic matters."

These scholars are always related to each other, or are classmates.

It is precisely because of the close relationship between these people that once they become officials in the court, they will involuntarily unite together and transform into a political group with common interests under the trend of interests.

When their interests conflict with those of other officials, party strife will naturally arise.

This is also the reason for the constant disputes in the court in the following decades of the Ming Dynasty.

The guard lowered his eyebrows and pondered deeply. After a while, his eyes widened and he whispered: "Third Master, the enlightenment teacher of the four of them was that late master!"

That one is Princess Lu.

Your late lord is talking about Lu’s father, Lu Ben.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxi's frowned brows slowly relaxed.

"So, are they trying to cause trouble through these people?"

Zhu Yunxi muttered in a low voice.

……

"Envoy of Shanyuan, if I follow your words and implement this thing, I may cause unnecessary trouble in the local area!"

In the Zhongji Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting cross-legged without looking like an emperor. His whole body was leaning on the table next to him, one arm was bent against the table, his palm was dragging his cheek, and the other hand was raised

Shan Yongnian, the hospital commander of Yice Taiyuan Hospital, reviewed the records he had just compiled from time to time.

The prince Zhu Biao on the side also got a copy of the record, lowered his head at the desk, and read page by page in detail.

Shan Yongnian, the commander of Taiyuan Hospital, was originally full of excitement. After hearing that the emperor rejected his idea of ​​promoting allicin to the world, his face darkened.

However, having devoted his life to medicine, he was faced with the problem of allicin, which he had finally sorted out and successfully verified his many conjectures.

Shan Yongnian immediately spoke up and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, this product can not only prevent the patient's wounds from rotting and festering, but also greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers on the border of the Ming Dynasty. It also has unexpected miraculous effects on wind evil diseases."

"In addition, the preparation is simple and cost-effective. If it is implemented all over the world, the people of Ming Dynasty will suffer less pain and illness!"

"Why does Your Majesty, faced with such benevolent government, want to shelve it?"
