It was difficult to remain silent in front of everyone. Zhu Su secretly swallowed the meat in his mouth and secretly wiped his oily hands under the table. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes at Hu Weiyong and smiled:
"Prime Minister Hu has promoted this king."
"Gu Yu's poetry attainments are actually very few. He thought hard at first and finally came up with the song "Linjiang Immortal". At that time, the inspiration was already a blessing from heaven, how can he be blessed again?"
"I didn't prepare a birthday poem in advance today. If I were to compose a poem when I was alone, it would only make me laugh."
As he said this, he waved his hand pretending to be distressed.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, oh, it turns out that His Highness is actually a Kuyin sect.
Since he is a Kuyin sect, he really cannot compose poems on the spot.
"Your Majesty, Fifth Prince, don't worry." Xu Da laughed. "I feel very relieved that your highnesses are here."
"Your Highness has not yet grown up, so there is no need to follow these elegances. It is only right to eat more."
"I remember that in the past, whenever I came to the imperial court, Your Majesty would always treat me wholeheartedly and never let me go hungry."
"If I don't entertain you well today, your Majesty will probably ask me to enter the palace tomorrow and blame you for not being grateful enough to repay your kindness!"
Xu Da had a rare moment of humor, and everyone laughed together.
Zhu Su was a little embarrassed. It seemed that Xu Da had seen him chewing his hoof just now.
After such a interruption, it is naturally no longer easy to talk about poetry or prose. Hu Weiyong seemed to have noticed Zhu Su's reluctance and didn't say much.
Zhu Su breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone looked away and continued to talk and eat.
Hu Weiyong chatted with Xu Da for a while and then sat down next to Zhu Su. Looking for an opportunity, he asked Zhu Su in a low voice: "Your Highness, why don't you show off your talents and convince the officials?"
"There are many Qingliu here, and they all want to establish a good relationship with the Xu family, so that the Xu family can stand by and watch you and the Crown Prince. If they can show their talents, these Qingliu from eastern Zhejiang will definitely be ashamed of themselves."
"It will severely dampen his spirit."
Zhu Su thought, so he glanced at Hu Weiyong, and saw that the corners of Hu Weiyong's lips were moving slightly, as if he was tasting the fish meat in his mouth, and his voice was low, as if he was clicking his tongue on the food. Only Zhu Su could hear what he said.
"Mr. Zuo was too hasty." Zhu Su imitated his example and stuffed a rib into his mouth. "The quarrel between Guwu and Big Brother was too tense."
"Besides, I am really a bitter chanter."
The so-called "Kuyin Sect" are Meng Jiao and Jia Dao. Originally it refers to a genre of poetry that is characterized by poverty, depression and loneliness. However, because people in this school often carefully consider words and sentences when writing poems, and have to go through several rounds of refinement on rhythm, antithesis, and words, a poem often takes days or even months to complete. Therefore, the word "agonizing" also refers to those poets who have to hold back for a long time every time they compose a poem. Although they can come up with good sentences, they are not talented.
The story of the word "examination" comes from Jia Dao of the Kuyin sect.
Zhu Su himself was not present when he composed the lyrics last time, so there is no fault in saying that he is from the Kuyin sect.
Hu Weiyong glanced at Zhu Su vaguely. Now he had finally convinced the cabinet again, and Prince Zhu Biao still had more trust in His Highness the Fifth Prince. Although he controlled the Yanguan Yushi, he suppressed his Qingliu subordinate officials because of "brotherly love". Quasi-criticism. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the cabinet in one fell swoop, and wait for the prince's family to react and activate the censor, they will finally gather many high officials and dignitaries, and Zhongshu Sheng, who has the potential to rise, may be subdued by the cabinet and the censor again. Become a decoration.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster. Zhu Su's tone made Hu Weiyong feel angry.
"Are you still worried about the family ties between brothers? I made it very clear last time, how can there be any family ties in the Tian family? His Royal Highness is the reason why he is always concerned about family ties. Only by being ruthless can you achieve great things." Hu Weiyong instilled his worldview into Zhu Su in a low voice. The speaking speed also became faster.
"Tell me why Your Highness treated Yongjia Hou Shizi and other distinguished nobles so poorly. You must know that they are our best help..."
Hearing that Hu Weiyong was preaching to him again, Zhu Su rolled his eyes secretly impatiently: Hu Weiyong really looked down upon the wolves. Ever since he sent a letter according to Lao Zhu's wishes and agreed to his request, he asked Zhu Su bluntly. Listen to yourself in everything. It is obvious that he thinks that although I, Zhu Su, have little talent but am still young, I feel at ease and "child-like" myself as the prince.
You are talented enough to please the emperor, and young enough to be controlled by him. Lao Hu's plan really clicked.
In addition to constantly instilling that Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu cannot be trusted, he also constantly told Zhu Su that he would make them "get what they want", and then did not hesitate to use Zhu Su's reputation to collect political chips for him in the court.
The skill of PUA is even more proficient than the boss in the previous life.
Zhu Su didn't answer, and just listened to Hu Weiyong's performance quietly. It's okay to hear the words of a dying person. Anyway, he always regards himself as an outsider watching the show.
"It's not too late at this time. I have a poem here, which you can claim to be the result of your own reflection. Firstly, it can shock Qingliu, and secondly, it can win over Duke Wei..." Hu Weiyong deliberately toasted to Zhu Su. Zhu Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did this old Hu also want him to copy poems?
Just as he was about to say something, the door outside suddenly announced: "His Royal Highness has arrived!"
"Hey, eldest brother is here too?" Zhu Su suddenly stood up and went to greet him. It was a good time to take advantage of Hu Weiyong’s endless preaching attacks. I saw Prince Zhu Biao walking into the palace with a smile. Everyone stood up and saluted: "See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"No need to be polite! But I'm late." Zhu Biao, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was still gentle and elegant. When they saw Zhu Su and Zhu Di, they were happy. After visiting Xu Da and meeting Hu Weiyong, they walked straight to a few In front of people, "I haven't seen you for a few days and I think we are brothers! I didn't expect you are all here."
"Brother, you are busy with disaster relief work, why are you here?" Zhu Su said, his face beaming with joy.
"My father couldn't leave the palace to celebrate Uncle Xu's birthday. He had no choice but to ask me to come." Zhu Biao said with a smile. He said with an amused smile on his face and lowered his voice: "...By the way, my father is quite dissatisfied with someone who has been acting in a secret way these days, so he asked me to give him a push."
"Who dares to be so bold?"
The upright Zhu Ming was still confused, but others had already seen from Zhu Biao's eyes that it was Zhu Su who was talking. Zhu Laowu looked embarrassed. "Why did you say this, Dad? I have always been filial and polite, so there is nothing wrong with it..."
"Oh? Then why has there been no movement for so long about the previous order to take the initiative...?" Zhu Biao showed a rare gossipy look. Looking at his eldest brother's appearance, Zhu Fang and other brothers also suddenly realized. How could these brothers know that Lao Zhu asked Zhu Su to attack the daughter of the Xu family?
Zhu Su suddenly blushed. Can this be discussed here? What if the Xu family hears it? Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xu Da's eyes looking here. Zhu Su quickly pulled Zhu Biao in embarrassment: "Brother, be silent!"
"Uncle Xu loves his daughter as much as he loves his daughter. How can we talk about this here? Besides, how old is the Xu family's sister?"
"How can I do this!"
This sentence is true. Although Xu Miaoyun is beautiful, she is still a flower that has not yet bloomed.
He, Zhu Su, was not a lolita fan, so just listening to Lao Zhu's instigation made him feel panicked. How can we criticize actions?
"It's not too small, it's not too small!" Zhu Di didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.
"I'm not that different from you in age."
"Isn't it right to get engaged first and then get married?"
"Eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law got married at your age!"
"Zhu Laosi, please shut up." Zhu Su rolled his eyes.
Zhu Laosi, please be more careful, Xu Miaoyun was your wife in history!
I am a pure love warrior! But I have no intention of becoming a tauren!
"Father, I had expected that you would use this excuse to evade." Zhu Biao's eyes were as expected. "That's why I'm here to take the opportunity to push you. Why do you think Uncle Xu invited you to the birthday banquet?"
After finishing speaking, before Zhu Su could be stunned, he slightly raised his voice and said, "I wonder if fifth brother can compose poetry just now?"
"Being a brother is a blessing. Will it please your ears to hear another quatrain like "Linjiang Immortal"?"
Zhu Su was stunned. Why do you feel that this line seems familiar?
Brother, do you want to sell me too?
