Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters super desire to survive
Under the collective gaze of three of the top disciples of the Ming Dynasty, Zheshanjun tried his best to keep his head high and chest out, trying not to appear too weak. In any case, he was sent to the Ming Dynasty from Goryeo this time.
As a member of the royal family of the Imperial College, others may scold and humiliate him in person, but they will never beat him.
But even so, the sadness of being slaughtered in his heart could not go away. Finally, he saw three people moving together and surrounding him from three sides. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man next to him.
He was about to step forward, but he raised his foot and then put it back again. It was obvious that he was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
The second son of the late crown prince and the nephew of the current king, according to the long-standing tradition that the children of the royal family have no hope of power, apart from his noble status, what else does a person like him have to protect?
However, just when Zheshanjun was full of self-pity, he suddenly heard a laugh: "You are young, you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and you dare to take responsibility. I do underestimate you!"
When he said this, Zhu Er pretended not to see the expression on the middle-aged Goryeo envoy who almost stared out of his eyes. The ferocious look he had when he launched an army to question the crime was gone, replaced by a kind and warm look. This kind of
The ability to change faces was learned from him and Little Fatty Lu. Although he was not very skilled at using it at this time, it was still enough to bully an immature child in front of him.
When he said this, Zhu Er also patted the other person's shoulder affectionately, not realizing that this kind of action between relatives and friends was not suitable for strangers. But after patting the tiger's shoulder, he smiled.
He said: "Since you have the intention to write a letter to apologize, it shows that you can change. Well, how about this, how about you go to the palace with us and apologize in person?"
Zhu Er thought that it was not a good time to invite people to go out for fun, so he had an idea and came up with such a perfect excuse. When he said it, he couldn't help but praise his wit in his heart.
Zheshanjun only felt that his mood was fluctuating, and he was completely confused. He was mentally prepared for the worst, but suddenly he was praised for knowing his mistakes, being able to correct them, and being brave enough to take responsibility? Then they pulled him back again.
Entering the palace to plead guilty in person? He is from the Goryeo royal family and has just arrived in the Ming Dynasty capital. He must wait for the imperial edict before he can enter the palace... Furthermore, can he enter the palace casually?
Sure enough, when he was confused, he heard an objection coming from next to him: "Brother Zhu, the Korean delegation has just arrived in the capital, and the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites has probably not reported it yet, so what do you say?
Entering the palace, isn't this too self-confident? The guards at the palace gate will not let you go."
After admonishing Zhu Er for talking to himself, Ji Jiu smiled kindly at Mr. Zheshan. But before he could continue, Zhang Datou snorted: "Brother Zhu Er is right.
, finally you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are a man! I heard that you are going to the Imperial College in the future? If someone bullies you, then report my name, my reputation as a big guy is still of some use in the Imperial College!"
These are all coming from nowhere! Ji Jiu felt that he was having a headache... None of these were reliable. No wonder the emperor would personally name him and ask him to come with him. Otherwise, just based on the virtues of Zhu Er and Zhang Datou,
The so-called temptation may turn into a disaster!
Therefore, he couldn't stand it anymore and said decisively: "Okay, don't scare the tiger! I guess he is new here and doesn't understand the customs and rules of our Ming Dynasty, so he made a big mistake.
If this is the case, then we, as citizens of the Ming Dynasty, have an obligation to let him understand this, so as not to make the mistake of swaggering through the market in a sedan chair again in the future."
Speaking of this, Ji Jiu said with great sincerity: "Zheshanjun is not just one or two people of the Ming Dynasty who can't rub their eyes like Prince Zhang of Qin State. This is not to find fault, but to safeguard our tradition of the Ming Dynasty.
"
After giving Zhang Chen's previous arrogant words and deeds a layer of fairness, he said sternly: "Today we broke into the hall without permission. The three of us will naturally write a letter to apologize when we go back. However, we will also write a letter to ask the emperor to let him go."
The three of us will teach you all the etiquette and rules of our kingdom, and let you see the difference between the capital of Ming Dynasty and your territory of Goryeo!"
Having said this, he couldn't help but pick up Zhu Er and Zhang Datou who were still wanting to talk and left. It wasn't until they walked out of the Huitong South Hall gate before the guards had time to react that Zhu Er and Zhang Datou both reacted.
After coming over and hurriedly breaking away, the two of them looked furious.
"Hey, are we here to ask for help? Why did you suddenly run away?" Zhu Er felt that his heart was filled with resentment.
"That's right, what does it mean to go back and submit a letter to plead guilty?" Zhang Datou was even more angry, "We are not the emperor..."
Before Zhang Datou could say that this was according to the emperor's order, Ji Jiu covered the person's mouth. Then seeing that he was already far away from the guard over there, he said angrily: "If you don't go to the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette,
The people are here, believe it or not, that guy will come up and directly detain us and let the elders of the family pick us up, or send us to the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen for prosecution on the grounds of causing trouble?"
"The reason why the Emperor only asked the teacher to pass on the message is clearly because he doesn't want ordinary officials to know about this matter. Are you still going to tell the people in the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette that we are here under orders or what?"
Seeing that Zhu Er and Zhang Datou were speechless, Ji Jiu could only say helplessly: "I have found out enough inside information today. When I go back, I will follow what I just said and write an apology letter with similar meaning, and then
Send it up, and the emperor will definitely approve it as soon as possible, and let us take the tiger around the capital, so that after crossing the clear road, the task can be completed in two or three days."
"It will actually take two or three days..."
Big guy Zhang's brows were furrowed into big knots. He thought it was something he could do as soon as he stepped out, but he couldn't do it right away and had to take his time?
This time, Zhu Er finally agreed with Ji Jiu's proposal: "Yes, they have just arrived, and before the court has a clear intention, the people in the mission should not be able to move freely in the capital. That Zheshanjun is from the Goryeo royal family after all, so then
You can't run around any more. Ji Jiu, you have a good mind, no wonder the emperor asked you to come with us!"
Do you now know why the emperor asked me to come with him?
Ji Jiu complained in his heart, but he could not show his contempt for Zhu Er on his face. After all, he was the teacher's brother-in-law, so he had to save face when he should. And when he walked back to join the entourage, he suddenly thought of something else.
He asked casually: "By the way, can you write a confession?"
When he asked this question, he was greeted with a tacit silence. When he turned around, he saw Zhu Er and Zhang Big Guy looking at him with innocent faces, but they didn't even say clearly that you had finished writing and let us copy it.
Copied. Faced with these two accomplices who were simply uneasy, he finally could only sigh and said: "Let's just do this. After I finish writing, you can just sign it together."
These words undoubtedly made Zhu Er and Zhang Datou feel relieved. Just like many children of Zhang Shou's generation had written self-criticism reports, as far as the two of them were concerned, growing up, it was common for them to admit their mistakes and apologize, but they were suppressed by their elders.
It is also common for someone to write a letter of repentance.
But even if they write often, they still have to rack their brains every time they write something. They really can’t write it!
Ji Jiu was already numb to his two accomplices, and what made him even more speechless was that Zhu Er and Zhang Datou, as if they were afraid that he would regret it, actually dragged him to a teahouse, and then Zhang Datou first went to sell the four treasures of the study, including blank memorials.
Yazhai bought the whole set.
As soon as the person came back, Zhu Er polished the ink himself and asked Ji Jiu to quickly write a letter of apology. In response, the helpless Master Ji Jiu could only suppress the urge to hit people, splashed ink and wrote an apology letter.
A cluster of flowers...a self-examination, no, a confession.
He used very beautiful writing to describe the anger of the three of them when they heard Zhang Chen scolding the tiger for entering Beijing in a sedan chair, and then packaged the incident of trespassing into the south hall of the Huitong Hall as an impulse of rage.
The incident, and then the shouting and screaming that made people feel restless, was downplayed and described as a friendly negotiation to settle the old feud.
In the end, Ji Jiufang sincerely apologized and deeply repented. At the same time, he expressed his willingness to friendly help the Goryeo family who were sent as envoys to understand the etiquette and culture of the Ming Dynasty, and to influence the hearts of the people of the foreign countries.
The whole article was written in one go. Zhu Er and Zhang Datou looked at each other in confusion. Zhang Datou couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "You can write this kind of article, why are you still taking the Jiuzhangtang exam? Why don't you stay in the Imperial College and take the Jinshi exam in the future?
Okay?"
Ji Jiu suddenly smiled: "You want to be admitted to Jinshi if you can write this kind of article? I'm dreaming! I started writing this kind of confession letter when I was in my early ten years to fool my father and other elders, but you asked me to write such a clear format
But I don’t know anything about the eight-part essay. Besides, my father was also a famous scholar back then. He was ninth in the exam and seventh in the palace exam. What happened in the end?"
"I just can't climb up to the position of the boss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! The two people above him write better articles than him, have a deeper family background than him, are from the same hometown and age, are more capable than him, and are better at work and conduct than him. Besides, in my family
My elder brothers, cousins, and the like, each one is better at reading than the other, so I have already seen through it. With my qualifications, unless I meet a noble person, this will be the case in my life!"
Having said this, Ji Jiu shut up. Zhu Er and Zhang Datou, of course, both knew what Ji Jiu wanted to say next. Master Ji Jiu, who was originally getting along, encountered a situation where he did not act according to common sense, but still
Zhang Shou, who was extremely popular, naturally leaned towards him without saying a word, which is why he became like this.
They were actually similar, so of course they wouldn't laugh at anything. They even praised Ji Jiu's writing style again, and then each of them signed his name on the apology letter. Not only that, Zhu Er even said it over and over again.
As I read it, Zhang Datou couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
"Brother Zhu, what else are you reading? Do you think Ji Jiu's apology letter is not well written?"
"It's because Ji Jiu writes well that I have to memorize it. Otherwise, if someone asks me about the confession later, but I can't even recite the entire sentence, wouldn't it be terrible?" Zhu Er said when he saw Zhang Datou.
The deputy looked stupid as if he hadn't expected it at all, so he said seriously, "Besides, the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette failed to catch us today, so maybe they will sue us at home."
"Think about it, even if someone came to us after we went back to accuse him, and we told my father that we were acting on orders, would we still let people confront the emperor? With my father's character, even if he knew it was true, he would say
Maybe you can give me a good beating first, and when the time comes, recite a few lines from Ji Jiu's article, and then explain the whole story clearly, and maybe you can escape the disaster."
Zhang Datou was finally really shocked this time. After all, Zhu Er is still his legitimate son, so his desire for survival is so strong? Is Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing a more violent character than his father, Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong?
Thinking about the beating he received during the previous cheating incident, if Zhang Shou had not escaped, he might have been beaten to death, or beaten half to death. He quickly took a deep breath, and then... without saying a word
Joined the ranks of Zhu Erna memorizing manuscripts!
However, if Zhu Er's qualifications are not good and he can't study and practice martial arts, Zhang Datou still has some advantages of brute force, but his reading brain is even worse than Zhu Er's. So Ji Jiu on the side
I just saw the two of them stumbling around carrying it on their backs. Zhu Er managed to memorize a few things, but Zhang Big Guy had been carrying it for a long time and forgot all about it. It was so miserable.
Really unable to stand it, he simply took a piece of paper and copied it in twos and twos. Then he blew it dry and stuffed it into the big man's hand. He said with a fierce face: "Okay, don't waste time, take it back and take your time."
Back. While the sun has not set, I will find a way to hand the things up, and cross the open road at least, so as not to turn back and spread the rumors that the three heroes have joined forces, but our apology letter is nowhere to be seen!"
Zhu Er was very supportive of Ji Jiu's decision. As for Zhang Datou, he hurriedly folded the ink-stained paper into dried tofu and put it in his arms, not caring about anything else.
However, when he walked out of the small teahouse, Zhu Er suddenly remembered something and quickly grabbed Ji Jiu: "You can send this thing directly to the General Affairs Department? Although we are the sons of officials, it seems that we can still write directly to the government.
Not qualified?"
Ji Jiu cast a sidelong glance at Zhu Er and thought to himself, only now do you know that you are not qualified? When you boasted in front of that Korean tiger before and said you wanted to bring people into the palace to plead guilty, why couldn't you control your mouth?
You are not your eldest brother and Zhu Ying, how can you have the ability to rush into the palace like this? And you also bring a member of the Goryeo royal family with you!
He laughed angrily, and then said seriously: "Don't forget, I happen to be attending Ciqing Palace this month."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Er felt envious and jealous for a moment. After all, he probably wouldn't be able to pass the exam even in Banshan Hall. Zhang Datou, on the other hand, had a dark look on his face. He was one place short of the monthly exam in Banshan Hall this time.
So he failed to be elected as the attendant of Ciqing Palace again. Because of this matter, if Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong was not busy because of Zhu Ying Zhang Luo's Northwest Development Fund, maybe he would have been beaten again!
Ji Jiu's words irritated the two of them, but he knew enough was enough, so he didn't say anything more. After parting ways with the two of them, he immediately rushed to the palace and entered Ciqing Palace smoothly. Of course, at this time, the three of them
The prince was no longer there, but that didn't stop him from having the responsibility of cleaning the study room in Ciqing Palace, so he put the apology letter on the desk where the prince used to study and listen to lectures.
