If the third prince's character is a bit cautious and timid, then the fourth prince's character is that he doesn't care what happens first. Therefore, even though he is facing the famous celebrities from all over the world invited by his father, the little guy still doesn't care.
Fearless, even after speaking at this time, he still had a confident attitude.
At this time, seeing Chief Yue Shan's nonchalant look, Zhang Shou chuckled and said, "Where did the Fourth Prince hear that someone was kicked out by Chief Yue Shan? The guy you mentioned is still staying in my house.
, he didn’t say that.”
Chief Yue Shan was caught off guard when he was questioned by the fourth prince, but he could only pretend to be calm. But when Zhang Shou said this, he finally couldn't help but change his face. Zhang Shou actually took Fang Qing in? Why is this? For the sake of poverty.
Pursue it to the end? Or for something else?
The fourth prince's eyes widened at this time: "You are at the teacher's house? Why didn't Liu Feng tell me?"
At this time, Liu Feng, who was standing in the corner of the main hall, almost lost his temper. Fourth Prince, just run against the Chief Yue Shan. Why are you betraying me? I just followed the holy order and found out the two Chief Yue Shan from the servants of Yashe.
The students were talking about it, so I knew that Fang Qing, who had scolded the third prince, was expelled from Zhaoming Academy, but I didn't know that he was recruited by Zhang Shou just after he turned around!
When Zhang Shou saw that the emperor turned his head to look at Liu Feng, and that the steward of Qianqing Palace wanted to bury his head in the cracks in the ground, he coughed lightly and said, "Do you want to know, fourth prince, why Fang Qing is in my house?"
Seeing that the fourth prince immediately forgot about such a trivial issue as betraying Liu Feng - people are not people who can look at the faces of their father's servants, he quickly nodded, and he smiled and sent Song Juren out to sell sugar water in a cart, but he met Fang Fang.
We have talked about Qing's story, but of course we have omitted the part where Song Juren scolded Fang Qing. He only said that because of the friendship between fellow countrymen and the same age, he picked up the lost Fang Qing.
Then, he talked about how Fang Qing mistook someone for a slave of a wealthy family on the street, so Song Juren was chased by a dog along with him, and had a fight in front of him when he came back.
When he mentioned that Fourth Master Hua had brought the frightened rich man Li San'er home to apologize, the Fourth Prince was already laughing so much that he squatted on the ground and beat Zhang Shou's armrest, completely forgetting what the occasion was.
Although Chief Yue Shan tried his best to keep his face calm at this time, the actions of Fang Qing and Song Juren really exceeded the limit of what he could imagine.
Especially when he thought that Fang Qing had the impulsive and reckless temper he had acquired over the years, he felt his face heat up, and he felt more and more that Zhang Shou's taking in Fang Qing could not be a coincidence, but had been planned in advance.
As for the emperor, he was also amused by what Zhang Shou said. Especially when he thought that the mean-mouthed Song Juren was also chased by dogs and ran away until his shoes fell off, he felt very relieved, as if he couldn't even
Princess Yongping's tone also came out.
"These two are really living treasures... Zhang Shou, you really dare to take in anyone!"
"Song Juren is because Yingying likes the sugar water he makes, and his identity is exposed. The Song family wants to kidnap this maverick guy back, so I have to give him a place to live. As for Fang Qing...
..." Zhang Shou shrugged and said very casually, "Anyway, Song Juren picked him up, it's not much more, and besides, he also earned his food and lodging expenses himself."
As he spoke, he smiled and said: "Song Juren took him into custody and worked as a helper around him, and then paid him to work. Then I will be a landlord who rents a house for people to live in. However, Fourth Prince, please don't hear about it, Fang Qing
I didn’t say that he was kicked out of the door, I just felt that he was hurting his teachers and classmates by speaking nonsense. Now he has completely awakened and knows that he was biased in the past.”
"A noble son is born from a poor family, and a pampered son is raised from a rich family. This is just a common saying, not a universal truth. Therefore, he regrets it very much and feels that he has been taught by Yue Shan for many years."
Although Zhang Shou seemed to be speaking for himself both inside and outside his words, Chief Yue Shan just wanted to end this summons that made him sit on pins and needles. He took a breath and was about to think of a way to find an excuse to leave when he just
The emperor coughed and said: "Silang Wuzhuang, Chief Yue Shan, don't care about him like a child. Moreover, from what Zhang Shou said, this Fang Qing is just a fool."
The emperor smiled and said nonchalantly: "Everyone has frivolous moments when they are young. An inexperienced young man is just impulsively talking nonsense. There is nothing to care about. Besides, Zhang Shou has already punished that kid in the best way, then
Just let Song Juren, the living treasure, take people to walk through the streets and suffer hardships."
Having said this, he glared at the fourth prince sternly: "Silang is the same. He gets upset over the smallest things. He even asked the teacher in front of me, how did you learn this rule? You will be punished to copy the Analects of Confucius twenty times!
"
The fourth prince suddenly wailed, but the smile on his face betrayed his mood at this time. It was obvious that the child was in a very good mood at this time, very good... It was known that the guy who had scolded his third brother had repeatedly
After being frustrated again and again, and being tormented by Song Juren and monitored by Zhang Shou, he felt relieved and relieved.
The emperor, who saw his mood, immediately sent the young son away without hesitation, and then nodded slightly to Chief Yue Shan, who stood up in fear and apologized: "It's such a trivial matter, Yue Qing doesn't need to take care of it. Today.
I suddenly summoned you to the palace with Hong Qing to embarrass you, so you should go back and take a good rest first, and I will summon you again the next day."
"I would never dare to be in such a difficult position. I have little talent and little knowledge, and lack of moral character. I am unworthy of trusting the emperor..."
After a few relatively cliché chants, Chief Yue Shan finally resigned as he wished. When he walked out of the main hall of Qianqing Palace, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his forehead, but found that the palm of his hand was already slightly shiny. Today, he was greeted by Chief Hong Shan.
Zhang Shou was forced to rush one after another, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After leaving the palace and getting on the bus, he made a decision.
Therefore, when the car left Dong'anmen, he said: "Please go to the Guangdong Guild Hall in the outer city. I want to see the leader of Song Dynasty."
When Yue Shanchang planned to use Song Juren's situation as an excuse to meet with the leader of Song Guild Hall in Guangdong, he drove away the four princes, dismissed Yue Shanchang's emperor, and left the Qianqing Palace, but rushed straight to the Qingning Palace for the Queen Mother
However, he did not let Zhang Shou go, but directly took Zhang Shou away with him.
As for Liu Feng, who was talkative and provided some information to the fourth prince, he made him kneel in the Qianqing Palace to reflect.
Although it was not the first time for Zhang Shou to enter the palace, and he had also been to the Qingning Palace before, he was still a little bit dumbfounded when the emperor entered the palace like he was bringing his own nephew. At this moment, when he saw the surprised Queen Mother, he immediately heard
The emperor laughed and said how he met Chief Hong Shan before, and then told the advice he gave through the fourth prince, and then he noticed something strange in the Queen Mother's expression.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother looked at him twice, and then asked with a smile but not a smile: "Zhang Qing, fortunately you have been able to talk a few times today to stop the Hongshan Chief. Da Lang and Er Lang planned it for you in the first place, and again in Cangzhou.
He caused such a huge disaster and it cost you to end it, but this time you repaid evil with kindness and actually stopped someone from forcing a woman on him."
"This is not repaying evil with kindness, but only repaying others with kindness."
Zhang Shou had long felt that the Queen Mother might indeed be really kind to Zhu Ying, but even if there was no hostility towards him - if there was any hostility, the difference in status would be too great, and he would not be able to live so leisurely.
——However, the Queen Mother's attitude towards him was very dull, which he had already realized when he first came to Qingning Palace.
Therefore, in front of this old woman who once listened to the government behind the curtain and held the power in the world, he felt that he needed to be more cautious than when facing the emperor. But caution turned to caution, and calmness returned to calmness.
When he answered now, he was calm and composed, without even blinking: "Chief Hong Shan said that marrying a wife to a virtuous wife, marrying a daughter to a virtuous man, everyone knows this truth, but in fact, this is just talk on paper. As a parent
, when choosing a son-in-law and daughter-in-law, if you don’t want to cause resentment between couples who respect each other like ice, you will always give a little consideration to the children’s personalities.”
Zhang Shou deliberately pronounced the word "bing" with great emphasis. As for how the emperor and the queen mother would understand it, he didn't care.
"Chief Hongshan praised his daughter for being righteous, virtuous and capable, but he had no idea what the eldest prince valued most. The eldest prince and the second prince were the same. When they were competing in the past, they not only hoped that the future prince's concubine would have
They have top-notch looks and top-notch family background. As for whether they are virtuous or not, they probably don’t care at all.”
The Queen Mother's eyes immediately turned sharp: "Do you really think that the eldest prince is unworthy of education?"
The emperor previously agreed to the eldest prince's request and let him go to Cangzhou. Haven't you mother and son seen the result?
Zhang Shou looked at the Queen Mother without giving in, and sneered in his heart, but his words were not so straightforward: "If the Hong family is not only virtuous, but also has the beauty of the country and the beauty of the moon, then maybe
You can still win the heart of the eldest prince, but if he is older and plain-looking..."
He paused and said calmly: "Then Hong Shan will pay for his daughter, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor will pay for the eldest prince."
If Zhang Shou only said that Chief Hong Shan had compensated his daughter, then the Queen Mother and the Emperor would inevitably feel uncomfortable even if they hated the eldest prince for his previous sins. But Zhang Shou said that they would also compensate the eldest prince, the most noble man in the world.
Mother and son were immediately speechless.
After all, even if Chief Hong Shan praised his daughter as being unparalleled in heaven and earth, as if Zhong Wuyan was reincarnated, he could let the eldest prince marry an ugly girl... This would definitely create a bitter couple. Not only Zhang Shou knew the eldest prince's character, they also
Know better!
If the eldest prince is now full of hatred for the emperor and the queen mother, then after forcing people to get married, his hatred will probably reach the sky. Be it the emperor or the queen mother, they are not afraid of what others can do to them.
, however, if that anger were unleashed on the bride and caused some tragedy, it would really be a scandal that cannot be covered up!
Therefore, the Queen Mother could not help but sigh in a low voice: "It would be great if the daughter of Hong Shanchang was both beautiful and virtuous."
Anyway, Chief Hong Shan took the initiative to bring this matter up, and vowed that his daughter was also willing to marry. He even planned to return to his hometown to continue running his academy without seeking fame or fortune. He was not willing to serve as an official. So what else could he say? The eldest prince
For a prince who was convicted and imprisoned to marry the daughter of a great Confucian who is famous all over the world, to be honest, he is still a high achiever!
After the emperor saw the Queen Mother sighing, he immediately coughed unnaturally. As if he also knew that this was wishful thinking, he looked at Zhang Shou majestically and said: "Zhang Shou, although Hong Renqing, the head of Yuzhang Academy, is really a bit pedantic, but I
I sent someone to investigate beforehand and found out that he is indeed a decent man, with a clear mind, dedicated to learning, and is very popular among students."
"Since he submitted the letter clearly, now the whole capital has spread that he proposed to betroth his daughter to the eldest prince. Of course I can easily refuse, but..." The emperor organized his sentence, and then felt that there was no way to organize it well, so he simply
He said unreasonably, "Anyway, if you don't want the eldest prince to marry the Hong family, just come up with a reason for me to refuse!"
"Besides, you single-handedly sent the eldest prince to Zongzheng Temple. With Hong Renqing yelling at him, his life-long event cannot be postponed. To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell, so you have to give me some advice."
Seeing the look of deep approval on the Queen Mother's face, Zhang Shou immediately couldn't laugh or cry. It's up to me to do this... Isn't it too comfortable for you two to be a father and a grandmother? It's none of my business!
Although he really didn't think that the marriage advocated by Mr. Hong Shan was suitable, he didn't want to firmly oppose it. At this time, faced with these two unreasonable problems, he could only use his brain teasers to try his best.
Think about countermeasures mentally.
Soon, he had a corresponding idea for the previous question, and immediately said: "If the Queen Mother met Hong Shan's daughter and felt that the person was indeed virtuous, steady, generous and capable, then since she had opened a class in her hometown to teach women
, why not give her a corresponding title and leave her to preside over charity halls in the capital? To be honest, although there are many charity halls in the capital, most of them are full of ills."
"It's just like those rotten charity halls in Cangzhou. They are called charity halls, but they are actually places that harbor filth and evil. They need someone with a virtuous reputation to come out to clean them up. Although she is a woman, since she has a virtuous reputation, how can she
Isn’t it also considered popular?”
Seeing the emperor stroking his chin thoughtfully, and the queen mother nodding, she obviously felt that such a person was making the best use of her. As soon as Zhang Shou thought of the second, more difficult question, he suddenly had an idea and smiled.
He said: "As for the eldest prince's marriage, if the Queen Mother summons Hong tomorrow, why not ask her personally?"
Before the Queen Mother could speak, the emperor suddenly smiled: "This is a feasible way. I also found it strange before. It is said that Yuzhang Academy has produced several extraordinary talents, but today when I saw Hong Renqing, he was just an ordinary old man.
For a scholar-like person, maybe his daughter is a bit extraordinary, so it would be better for the mother to test her more."
When the Queen Mother saw the emperor's expression of leaving everything to the Queen Mother, she immediately laughed and laughed. She glanced at Zhang Shou and suddenly said lightly: "In that case, I will call Yingying tomorrow, Zhang Shou, you and her will accompany you."
Come meet people with me. If you are really virtuous and capable, then you should never show any timidity even when facing a perfect couple like you."
