Although Zhu Zhen was timid and cowardly, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite pleased with his filial piety.
Foolish filial piety?
That is not stupidity, but truth from the heart.
Daye governs the country with filial piety, and filial piety is what Zhu Yuanzhang most recognizes.
He sighed. Mr. Zhan treated Zhu Zhen like this, but Zhu Zhen was able to repay evil with kindness. Isn't this the shining point of Zhu Zhen?
"That's it, get up!" Zhu Yuanzhang said to Wang Gou'er: "Take Mr. Zhan out and send someone to take care of him!"
Wang Gouer hurriedly responded.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Now you can go and join the feudal clan with peace of mind, right?"
"Thank you, Father!" Zhu Zhen was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
After leaving the palace, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help laughing.
Two days later, Zhu Zhen led his civil and military ministers and 7,500 people to the vassal state.
Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded him with a certain amount of gold and silver, plus 200,000 acres of fertile land.
Zhu Zhen's departure did not attract much attention.
Because what followed was the marriage of Princess Anqing to Ouyang Lun, the new champion in science.
See clearly, she is marrying, not Princess Shang.
Zhu Yuanzhang is setting an example to the world's literati, and for next year's imperial examination, he does not intend to only choose from domestic candidates.
Since the great cause carries the destiny, then simply let go and continue to serve in the Three Kingdoms.
Once the news came out, the world was shaken again.
Everyone exaggerated Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition to dominate the world.
Ouyang Lun and Zhang Zhizhong are all excellent role models. After entering a great industry, they can become officials and marry princesses.
Who doesn’t want to go to great cause and show his talents?
It was during this period that Ouyang Lun truly experienced the benefits of power.
As a small editor (although he became the number one scholar in a new subject, he was not promoted, after all, he was defeated by force), he also experienced the feeling of having his threshold crossed.
At first, he refused those who accepted gifts, but later he discovered that these people were so clever. There were a hundred ways they wanted you to accept gifts.
Simply, he just turned a blind eye and closed one eye.
Plus the rewards from the court.
Not only was he awarded the mansion of a boss, but apart from compilation, his reputation as a prince-in-law could not be burned off.
Of course he had seen Princess Anqing before, and she was naturally good-looking.
But today, he received a letter, which came from Beiping Mansion.
Two days ago, he received a letter from Changsha Mansion. It was a letter from the King of Jin, congratulating him on becoming the number one scholar in the new subject and marrying the princess.
This flattered Ouyang Lun. He was so virtuous and capable that King Jin valued him so much.
Today, he once again received a congratulatory letter from King Yan Zhu Di, and he realized how popular he was as the top scholar in a new subject.
This also proves that these two people have other ideas.
Ouyang Lun opened the letter and read it. The content was similar to what he thought. First congratulations, then intimacy, and finally a congratulatory gift.
Judging from the gifts, King Yan was more generous.
However, Ouyang Lun had just arrived and didn't dare to join the team casually.
The prince also has a good reputation. Although he has been injured recently, his majesty is still there, and he has a grandson below him. He does not think highly of these two people.
Of course, he doesn't dare to offend, it's best to be able to have both sides.
However, King Yan immediately sent a pair of beauties, which made Ouyang Lun a little unable to resist.
Ouyang Lun, who was born as a commoner, got to where he is today step by step, all thanks to his own self-discipline and hard work.
Power, wealth, and beauty will always make people fall.
Ouyang Lun knew very well that with his status, power, and wealth, it would come quickly, but the same could not be said for beautiful women.
Although being the emperor's son-in-law sounds nice, it's actually hard work.
If you want to take a concubine, you must get the princess's consent.
Although Princess Anqing is beautiful, to be honest, her reputation is average. You can find out if you just ask around.
It's probably not going to be much easier to get along with a delicate and sassy princess.
But he doesn't have Wang Shouyang's backbone. Although it is good to be the number one scholar in a new subject, becoming the emperor's son-in-law is more secure.
Zhu Di's gift was delivered to his heart.
Looking at these delicate maids, all of them have enchanting figures and soft and waxy voices. Their scent makes people want to test them out one by one.
How can a young man like him endure it when the spring breeze is triumphant and the horse's hooves are rushing?
That night he wandered among the flowers.
And his heart gradually turned towards Zhu Di.
...
On the other hand, Wang Shouyang and Afu left Beijing in embarrassment. After almost a month of departure, the master and servant finally arrived outside Wendeng County.
Ah Fu said with a bitter face: "Master, we are finally here. Young master, I really can't figure out why we don't ride in the carriage when we have it, but we have to follow the caravan while walking."
"Are you stupid? If I take the shuttle bus or stay at the inn, do you think my father can't find me?" Wang Shouyang said: "Besides, I have read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. This trip also allowed me to see There are many sights that I have never seen before.”
Ah Fu wiped his nose and said, "Master, the scenery can't fill our stomachs. Let's eat well, drink well and sleep well along the way. We have already run out of money. We may have to sleep on the roadside tonight."
In the first half of the month, they were not as carefree as those fleeing the country. In the second half of the month, their lives became more and more miserable day by day.
Not to mention accommodation, he went to the dilapidated houses and temples there, and his food became dry buns and hard cakes. With just this cold water, Ah Fu lost seven or eight pounds due to hunger, and he felt weak even when he walked.
Speaking of food, Wang Shouyang's stomach was churning. He looked at Wendeng County in front of him and said, "A penny is too much for a hero. Since we have arrived at our destination, as long as we see King Weihai, we will definitely have a full meal." ."
"I heard that Cai Guan, who was under the command of King Weihai, was very philanthropic and his followers recruited many people. As long as they were talented and capable of doing practical things, as long as they had no cases against them, they would accept them regardless of their origins.
Young Master, you are the top scholar in the Golden Science, they will definitely accept you! Ah Fu swallowed, "I want to eat chicken legs, one in each hand!" "
"You're worthless, why did we come all the way here just to be under Cai Guan? Now that we're here, we naturally want to meet the real master!" Wang Shouyang said confidently: "Just be careful, I can let you go with just three words." King Weihai, give me food of your own accord!"
"Seriously?" Ah Fu's chest pressed against his back with hunger, and his stomach felt like it was on fire.
"Then there is still a holiday?"
Wang Shouyang walked into Wendeng County. At this time, the city wall of Wendeng County had been demolished and had been raised a lot on the original basis. Moreover, the outer city was being expanded and there was a lot of dust.
However, the moment he entered the city gate, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city, "You two, wait a minute!"
Wang Shouyang was puzzled, "Brother Jun, is there something wrong?"
The soldier guarding the city said, "Bring us your road guide and have a look."
Wang Shouyang hurriedly handed over the road guide. After looking at it, the soldier guarding the city said to the two of them: "You came all the way from Yingtian, so your life must have been difficult, right?
However, after coming here, you don't have to think about anything and can live peacefully. "
