Ming Dynasty Strategy Notes [Transmigration Book]

Although he successfully entered the Shu Palace in the capital city, in Zhu Chun's eyes, it was nothing more than an extra idler in the mansion.After Xia Ziling was handed over to the governor of the palace, Shi Yan, one or two months later, Xia Ziling never saw the king of Shu himself again.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, and he didn't expect Zhu Chun to regard him as his confidant from the very beginning, he has endured 12 years of hard work, so it doesn't matter if he waits a little longer.

The feudal king's mansion in the capital is not very big. In the past two months, he has gotten acquainted with the two chief historians, the Dian Bu, the chief and deputy judges, the Dian Shan, and the professors.Because he was directly assigned by the Holy Majesty, even though he only had the false title of professor from the Ninth Rank Palace, everyone in the Palace still showed courtesy to Xia Ziling.

On this day, the opportunity finally came.

Zhu Chun has always liked to study literature and history, and has a close relationship with the Imperial Academy.On this day, Song Lan, the king of Shu wrote the palace book, and went to the Hanlin Academy to pick up a borrowed classic. Unexpectedly, Song Lan probably had a bad stomach yesterday, and had a stomachache just after receiving the errand.

Seeing this, Xia Ziling took the initiative to take on the duty of being a good colleague who is willing to help others, and took the errand to go to the Imperial Academy before the professors.

Shu Wangfu went out and turned left, and it took less than half an hour to arrive at the Hanlin Academy.Showing the palace badge, Xia Ziling entered the Imperial Academy smoothly.

The monks who are distributed to the kings can return to the secular life with the consent of the vassal kings if they are interested.The king of Shu didn't care about him, and Xia Ziling also tacitly agreed that he didn't mind whether he returned to vulgarity or not, so he had already taken off his monk's clothes and put on a green straight dress.He has just passed the weak crown, and he looks like a handsome scholar. If it weren't for the one-inch-long short hair on his head, it would be strange, and some people would believe that he was an editor of Hanlin.

A few days ago, the King of Shu had made an agreement with the Imperial Academy, and after reporting the name of the palace, a young editor took him to fetch the classics that the King of Shu wanted.

The Imperial Academy is really poor, except for the books or books. Although it is a noble position in the eyes of scholars, Emperor Hongwu is too energetic. At this time, the Ming Dynasty did not set up a cabinet. All affairs were reviewed by the emperor alone. The Imperial Academy served as the cabinet. The advantages of the preparatory class have not yet been realized, and the young people here are just struggling for qualifications, so all the editors have a gloomy look on their faces.

But there are exceptions.Xia Ziling walked through a pavilion, and saw a handsome man in white clothes neatly arranging the books among the mountain-like piles of books. This person was obviously Zhou Ting.

Only then did Xia Ziling realize that, yes, according to the usual practice, the top candidates in the imperial examination would be admitted to the Imperial Academy, and Tanhua would be awarded the editorial position of Zhengqipin.He didn't like this "acquaintance" very much, so he quickly lowered his head and walked forward quickly.

After taking the classics and thanking the editor who led the way, Xia Ziling was ready to return to the palace.He didn't want to just leave the Hanlin Academy, and a person came out from the side door wall to block his way.

"Brother Xia, what a coincidence!"

"..." He didn't dodge it unexpectedly, it seems that he and Zhou Ting had some fate.

"That day, I didn't know that you were Mr. Zhou's son, so I offended you so much." Xia Ziling took the initiative to put down his airs and ease up, thinking that more things are worse than less things.

"Where is it, we don't even know each other." Zhou Ting glanced at the token on Xia Ziling's waist and said, "I heard from Hanyu that you are here to fetch classics for the King of Shu?"

"Exactly." Xia Ziling didn't know who Han Yu was, presumably it was the editor who led the way for him just now.

"So Brother Xia followed the King of Shu?" Zhou Ting smiled, "With Brother Xia's talent and learning, why didn't he take part in the imperial examination and step into the imperial court openly, but to find such an oblique path and attach himself to the vassal king? What ulterior motives?"

Zhou Ting said this directly.The acquaintance between the two was not very friendly. Hearing what he said, Xia Ziling also checked at the time that the chief examiner who recruited monks was Zhou Xing, the father of Zhou Ting, and he knew that he was the one who stabbed himself in the back.

However, right now, he has not gained a firm foothold in the Shu Palace, but he doesn't want to come and go with him more or less, so he endured the urge to beat him up and dealt with it: "Being an official is nothing more than for glory and wealth. It can also achieve this goal, so why bother to stick to the imperial examination, which is like crossing a single-plank bridge.”

"I thought Brother Xia wasn't such a superficial person."

Xia Ziling clenched his fists secretly, and said: "I am from a poor family, so I am naturally satisfied with food and clothing. How can I compare with Mr. Zhou, who has the ambition to serve the country."

"is it?"

Zhou Ting looked at Xia Ziling suspiciously.Xia Ziling didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he said his goodbyes and walked away.

Zhou Ting squinted at Xia Ziling's leaving figure, why did he feel that this person was not as simple as he appeared?He has always trusted his intuition, and this time he shouldn't be wrong.

Back at the Shu Palace, Xia Ziling avoided the crowd and went to the study room and knocked on the door. After a while, a deep and pleasant voice came and let him in.

Entering the room, Zhu Chun frowned when he saw that it was Xia Ziling who came, obviously not very happy.

"Song Dianbo was unwell, so I went to the Imperial Academy on his behalf," Xia Ziling explained respectfully, "This is the classic that the prince wants."

Zhu Chun motioned him to put the book on the table, and continued looking at the book in his hand.After Xia Ziling put it down, he did not retreat, standing aside and watching the King of Shu sitting behind the table.

Zhu Chun, who is handsome and not like ordinary people, now has a few strands of black hair hanging on the side of his face, against the jade-colored skin, his narrow star eyes are lowered and focused on the book, but it still makes people imagine that when they look up at each other How deep and charming it is.Just looking at him sitting and reading so quietly, it really fits the image of the "Shu scholar" that Emperor Hongwu often called, but...Xia Ziling knew that this was just a performance, and this guy had a dark belly.

"Why don't you leave?" After a while, Zhu Chun raised his head and looked displeasedly at Xia Ziling who was standing aside.

"My lord, I look at your appearance. It's not like something in a pool. You should be a picture of the world. I don't have talent. I wish to assist the lord in his great cause. I also hope that the lord can give me a chance." Without caring much, he expressed his heart to Zhu Chun again.

This time, Zhu Chun finally stared at Xia Ziling seriously, but his eyes were icy cold. The son of a real dragon is indeed majestic and domineering. Looking at it like this, ordinary people would probably tremble.

"Master Huici, or you prefer me to call you by the common name Xia Ziling," Zhu Chun stood up, but the 15-year-old boy was already as tall as Xia Ziling, and he didn't have the youthful feeling that a teenager should have at all, "like this babbling, I hope this is the last I'll hear."

"My lord, you are in the heavenly family, and there are some things that you cannot avoid." Xia Ziling met Zhu Chun's sharp eyes with a burning gaze, "Since the emperor established the Ming Dynasty, he has started the Han system and entrusted the kings, and the kings seem to be living extravagantly now. , comfort, but hidden dangers still exist. A hundred years after Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, even though Emperor Wen took care of the brotherhood and did not touch the ancestral system, and even Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu, all of them set the goal of reducing the vassal. Think about it."

Zhu Chun is familiar with history books, so naturally he is not ignorant of these things.Being in the royal family, it is destined to be impossible to be alone, and games and struggles will accompany you all your life.However, this does not mean that he will trust a suspicious person who has been in the palace for less than three months.

"Hmph, I'm not married yet, so where are my descendants? It's too far away to think about those."

Xia Ziling smiled, Zhu Chun was obviously playing dumb, but he had said more or less what he had to say.

"This subject is just expressing his heart to the lord today. I hope that the lord will consider it carefully. In order to achieve a great cause, I am willing to be a pawn and help the lord. I will do my best." After Xia Ziling finished speaking, he took two steps back. Seeing that Zhu Chun didn't As soon as he moved, he turned around and prepared to retreat.

However, just as he reached the door, a gust of wind blew past him. Before Xia Ziling could react, his wrists were clamped with both hands, and he was pressed against the wall.And the person who suppressed him was none other than Zhu Chun, the king of Shu who had always been gentle and refined.

"Xia Ziling, this king warns you, if you dare to go out and say a word of such nonsense, I have a hundred ways to make your life worse than death. You don't need to talk about this king's affairs, and you will be safe in the future. Be your professor in the palace!" During this period of time, he secretly observed this person, although he talked wildly on the first day, he did not exceed his duty of honesty in the palace, so he did not make a move for the time being.

The twisted wrist pained deeply, but Xia Ziling smiled very happily, and said: "Of course I won't be so stupid as to tell outsiders these things. But... it is my duty to share the worries of the prince. Forgive me, I can't help it." eventful."

Zhu Chun actually has martial arts, and is far superior to himself.Although he is very good, but in such a short time, he is restrained by others and cannot move for half a minute. It is not something that can be done by just a random person.So... the king of Shu is also a person who hides deeply, so it's very good, Lang has a lover and concubine, and they hit it off immediately.This term seems a little inappropriate, but it doesn't matter, Xia Ziling is now excited to further confirm the ambition of the King of Shu.
