Guo Tianxin is visiting the Li Mansion, Minister of the Ministry of War. Although they have a superior-subordinate relationship, Guo Tianxin holds military power and Li Hong values him very highly. This era is not like the 21st century, where generals in the army can be replaced as soon as they are told. Including
When the emperor passes the throne to the prince, he will also be warned to have a good relationship with the foreign generals who hold heavy troops. Only the loyalty of these people can preserve the stability of the country.
The coaches of the Zhennan Camp and the Northern Camp are basically his confidants from top to bottom in the camp. It is a friendship that was fought for. It is difficult to separate them even if they are ordered by the emperor. Li Hong's respect for Guo Tianxin is also
Value his prestige in the Zhennan camp.
Just when Guo Tianxin was about to have a drink at Li Shangshu's house, he suddenly received a report from a servant that the emperor had come to the Guo Mansion incognito, and the old lady asked him to go back quickly. Guo Tianxin did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly bid farewell to Li Hong and hurried back to the general's mansion.
When Guo Tianxin returned to the palace, Emperor Chengwu had already left. He only visited the old lady to express his feelings and did not have much to say. However, Eunuch Wei stayed.
"Eunuch Wei, I didn't know that His Majesty came to visit unexpectedly today. I really deserve death for not welcoming him." As soon as Guo Tianxin entered the hall, he quickly clasped his fists and expressed politeness.
"General Guo, I am waiting here. I have something to tell you." Eunuch Wei finished speaking in a sharp voice and looked around.
Guo Tianxin immediately understood, "You all get out, no one is allowed in." Guo Tianxin drove everyone out.
Eunuch Wei put down his tea cup and stood up, raising his pale face and saying, "General Guo Tianxin of Zhennan takes the order."
When Guo Tianxin heard this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Tianxin, accept the order."
"According to my emperor's oral instructions, please ask Guo Qing's family to handle it after the new year." Wei Eunuch said for a long time before he remembered that he did not know Zhu Tianjiang's name.
"General Guo, there is a boy in your house. He has sinister eyebrows and rat-like eyes. He can also write two bad poems. What is that boy's name?" Eunuch Wei lowered his head and asked.
"Are you talking about Zhu Tianjiang? He likes to shake his head when walking, and he seems to be stealing from everyone he sees?" Guo Tianxin described it, and when he heard that he liked to write poems, he guessed that it was Zhu Tianjiang.
"Yes, that's him. This kid is nothing. He dares to be unreasonable to the Sa family." Eunuch Wei said with eyes wide open.
"That boy dares to offend the father-in-law. I will order someone to beat him up and drive him out of the Guo Mansion later." Guo Tianxin was worried that he had no excuse, so now it's over. Even if his mother objects, he can rely on Eunuch Wei.
. None of the Imperial Tutors and the Sixth Division in the capital dared to offend this old man.
"Ah~ let's avoid this. I mean, His Majesty asked him to go to the Imperial College to study with the princes after the new year." Eunuch Wei said awkwardly.
Guo Tianxin was stunned for a moment. Your Majesty asked Zhu Tianjiang to be sent to the Imperial Academy? Impossible. One is the current Holy Emperor, and the other is a turtle slave who is accused of murder. They are incompatible with each other. If Zhu Tianjiang didn't have an old lady,
Guo Tianxin had already kicked him out while he was guarding him with his daughter.
"Eunuch Wei, you~didn't you hear wrongly?"
"Hmph! General Guo, the Sa family also wants to strangle that boy to death, but the Holy Father has given him permission, and the Sa family can't do anything about it. However, when the boy enters the Imperial College, we will see how the Sa family tortures him." Eunuch Wei has a good relationship with the Guo family.
, I didn’t hide some words either.
Guo Tianxin kept sending Eunuch Wei out of the gate, but he was still a little dazed. He didn't understand what kind of bad luck Zhu Tianjiang had to get the emperor's favor. Entering the Imperial College was an incredible thing. He was directly from the sixth grade.
Official status.
The selection of officials in the Dafeng Dynasty was based on the imperial examination. The other was to enter the Imperial College. The imperial examination was set up for the odd people and strangers among the people, while the Imperial College was established for the children of high-ranking officials. On the one hand, it was a system for the princes to cultivate themselves.
Secondly, the Imperial College is also a place where the princesses can study, and they can choose their consorts. Not all officials’ children can enter the Imperial College. If they can enter the Imperial College, they are equivalent to being disciples of the emperor, and their status will immediately become superior.
When Guo Tianxin saw Zhu Tianjiang in the past few days, he changed his past bitterness and hatred, and smiled as brightly as a flower. His smile didn't matter, it made Zhu Daqi so hairy that he even started to sleep.
Have nightmares.
In the past few days, not only Guo Tianxin has changed, but also the old gardener Lin Feng has changed. He has become the same as before, becoming an unknown mute.
As for these changes, Zhu Daqi, a big paparazzi, was also puzzled and went to find Xiao Guo Ying to make fun of him.
"I said, girl, is there something wrong with the food in your family recently? Why did your father go crazy because of the food? Otherwise, when he saw me, his face would be full of smiles, as if he had dug a hole to sneak me in.
Is it like being buried alive?"
"Fuck you, it's not a good thing for my father to smile at you. It saves me from saying good things about you to grandma every day. Now when I mention you, grandma looks at me differently. Did she find out something?
?”
Zhu Tianjiang frowned and nodded in realization, "No wonder, it seems that your father has seen hope. As long as you lose your grandma's care, your father will attack me immediately. If there is no old lady to protect this family,
Me, your father is not allowed to blow my ass off."
Xiao Guoying's face turned red. During this time, she also learned from Zhu Tianjiang's mouth the vicious meaning of popping an anus.
"Damn pig, don't talk about my father like that." Guo Ying came up and pinched her. Zhu Tianjiang took advantage of the situation and hugged Guo Ying in his arms.
"Be careful if someone sees you, let go quickly." Guo Ying was so frightened that she quickly pushed Sang.
Zhu Tianjiang took advantage a few times and let go of his hand with satisfaction. Only when he was with Guo Ying did Zhu Tianjiang feel happy and relaxed.
"Girl, I'm going to move out after the Chinese New Year. Now I've saved some money, and I want to do some business in the capital. I'm not talking nonsense, I'm guaranteed to become a rich man in the capital in two years. Then I'll come to propose marriage.
, take our little Guo Ying back as your wife."
Guo Ying lowered her head shyly and hesitated to speak, but she was very happy in her heart.
Zhu Tianjiang crossed his legs and began to think about his future. During this period, he made a lot of money selling poems. With his reputation and the power of the Guo family, doing business was not a source of wealth. In this era, there was no
When it comes to monopoly, Zhu Tianjiang thinks that he can excel in any industry he chooses.
The Spring Festival is coming in a few days. No matter which era, farming is an important industry, so the first day of the Lunar New Year is a day of celebration. The task of couplets for the Guo family was handed over to Zhu Daqi.
Tiansheng lived up to everyone's expectations, splashing ink and brushing his hair, and captured the exquisite chapters and sentences at his fingertips.
On the first day of the new year, the old lady, wearing a tiger skin cloak, sat in the lobby and accepted the congratulations of everyone in the mansion. Guo Tianxin sat next to him, happily looking at his mother who was recovering from illness. Since Guo Ying's mother passed away, he has not been
Continued string, this has also become a worry for the old lady.
Zhu Tianjiang was wearing a brand new robe and holding a bonsai in his hand. He stepped forward and bowed. Zhu Tianjiang was very smart. He could hold the flowerpot without having to kneel down. He didn't want to kneel down when he saw anyone.
.
"I wish the old lady a long life and good health, and I wish the general will be promoted to the third level this year. He will not only conquer the south, but also the north, the east and the west. Then they will all be conquered." Zhu Daqi's blessing words attracted the attention of all the maids in the lobby.
There was a burst of laughter. Only at this time did the servants dare to be bold.
As he said this, Zhu Tianjiang raised the bonsai in his hand and said, "Old madam, this is a gift from my gardener master." In fact, Zhu Tianjiang just took the pot casually and it was not specially given to the old madam at all.
.But since I brought it, I have to find an excuse.
The old lady was slightly startled when she saw that the thing in the basin was actually orchid, which fit her name of orchid.
"Goddess~ So~ is the old gardener in good health?" the old lady suddenly asked.
Guo Tianxin glanced at his mother strangely, not understanding why he cared about an old gardener. In his impression, the old gardener seldom talked and rarely went out, and he almost became a forgotten person in the house.
, they all called him Lao Lintou.
"To answer the old lady's question, Master Gardener eats well and sleeps soundly, but he likes to talk in his sleep, as if he is talking about someone." Zhu Tianjiang said deliberately.
The old lady's body trembled slightly, but she didn't show anything on the surface, "Come here, give me a reward."
Zhu Tianjiang took the reward and secretly winked at Guo Ying on the left. He was about to retreat when he was stopped by Guo Tianxin.
"etc!"
Zhu Tianjiang was startled, thinking that those who celebrate the New Year would never trouble me.
"Is there something wrong, General?"
"Oh God, you have been in my house for a while. My mother likes you very much, and I am also very optimistic about you. Therefore, I am going to send you to the Imperial College after the year. I hope you will not forget the Guo Mansion's love for you.
Kindness." Guo Tianxin said, stroking his beard.
The old lady and Guo Ying were stunned at the same time, but Guo Ying's eyes flashed brightly. Entering the Imperial College was a dream for the children of the capital.
"Tianxin, is it~?" The old lady leaned forward and asked quietly.
Guo Tianxin nodded, and the old lady immediately understood that this was what the Holy Emperor meant. The last time Emperor Chengwu came to see her, he praised a young man, and the old lady didn't pay attention at that time. Now it seems that the young man should
Refers to Zhu Tianjiang.
Zhu Tianjiang scratched his head inexplicably. He knew what kind of unit the Imperial College was.
"I told you, general, let me teach until there is no problem. But let's put the scandal first. They can't interfere when I'm doing private work outside." Zhu Tianjiang is still planning to start a business after he is 20 years old, but he feels that the title of Imperial College teacher will be attached to him.
, to the extent that it can deceive people. After all, the Imperial College is considered to be the highest academic institution, and it should be said that people are at the level of "the master is called a beast".
Guo Tianxin almost fell off his chair. The Xuezheng of the Imperial College will be the emperor's master in the future. And the head of the Imperial Academy, Prince Bo, is the head of the civil service. This little bastard actually wants to be the Xuezheng of the Imperial Academy? Guo Tianxin doesn't know.
He didn't make it clear, but Zhu Tianjiang drank it early in the morning.
The old lady laughed and said, "Tianxiang, the general's intention is for you to accompany the princes to study, not to be a formal teacher."
Guo Ying also looked at Zhu Tianjiang with disdain and said to herself that Xuezheng's character is almost the same as his father, what are you thinking.
"Let me study? Are you mistaken? Do they have that level?" Zhu Tianjiang said depressedly.
"Bold! This matter has been reported to the imperial court. If you don't go, you will be disobeying the order." Guo Tianxin's face turned cold. Seeing that Zhu Tianjiang was still talking, Guo Tianxin waved his hand, "No need to say anything, go on."
Zhu Tianjiang shook his hands and walked on helplessly. He was not here to learn in this era. Zhu Tianjiang returned to the flower garden depressed and saw the wine gourd on the table. He grabbed it and took a sip.
"Master, do you think Guo Tianxin is mentally ill? He actually asked me to go to some Imperial College to study with the prince?" Zhu Tianjiang said angrily.
Lin Feng glanced at Zhu Tianjiang and said, "That's not what he meant, that's what the higher-ups meant. Tianjiang, it will be very good for you to go to the Imperial College. But I also warn you to keep a distance from any prince. Any powerful prince."
, may not be tomorrow’s Holy Emperor. If you take refuge in the wrong person, you will lose your head.”
"What do you mean, can't you just go?"
"Nonsense. If you don't go, you will be disobeying the order and you will be thrown into prison immediately."
"You're numb! You're still being unreasonable. It's okay if you don't go. By the way, does that place pay wages? That means they don't give money." Zhu Tianjiang shook his head depressedly.
"Haha, after entering, the lowest rank is from a sixth-rank official. When the master was in the palace, he didn't get into a few ranks." Lin Feng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Tianjiang felt a little relieved. In any case, it was equivalent to having an official status.
"Master, do you mean that once you go in, you can't come out and you have to live in there every day?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes and said, "What good thing are you thinking about? The Imperial College is located in the front palace, and they won't let you live there if you want." Lin Fengxin said that this kid usually looks very smart, but why is he acting like an idiot with today's things?
have to.
"Hi! It doesn't matter if you scared me. By the way, Master, when I went to pay New Year's greetings just now, I mentioned you to the old lady, and she seemed to care about you very much."
The old gardener Lin Feng's body suddenly trembled, "You didn't say anything nonsense, did you?"
"No! It's just that you gave the old lady potted flowers. Seeing her like that, she has you in her heart. I said Master, don't keep sneaking around to peek in the middle of the night. If you have a chance, you can go to her room and have a chat."
Lin Feng's face turned red when he was told, "You kid, please mind your own business. If you dare to say nonsense next time, be careful and I'll beat you up."
Zhu Tianjiang smiled nonchalantly, drank Lin Feng's small drink, and began to think about the Imperial College affairs in his mind. From Lin Feng's words just now, Zhu Tianjiang captured an important piece of information. That is the princes in the Imperial College
, anyone may become the future emperor. If this is the case, Zhu Tianjiang is ready to observe carefully and cultivate a future emperor himself.
Lin Feng looked at Zhu Tian in trance and knew that this boy was daydreaming again. Since he had accepted such a failed apprentice in his old age, Lin Feng also planned to help him. Back then, the late emperor left the stick-stick area to
Now the Holy Emperor, Lin Feng is very familiar with the stick-stick area. He still has the Qinglong Token on the stick-stick side in his hand.
The fight between princes was life-and-death, and sometimes the emperor deliberately turned a blind eye to test the princes' ability to control their ministers. In the eyes of the Holy Emperor, those who cannot defeat their own brothers are not worthy of becoming
The future emperor.
Therefore, the students in the Imperial College are actually one foot in heaven and one foot in hell. Lin Feng is ready to use the power of the stick to ensure Zhu Tianliang's safety in the palace.
