Zhu Feng was so anxious.
It's not that he doesn't want to tell it, it's just that Zhang Zhou only wrote so many stories for him, but he also wrote several stories with this kind of beginning, and each one of them was a half-baked story.
You should write a complete story. Why do you write so many beginnings?
For Zhang Zhou...
If every story is written for you, what else does it have to do with me?
What you want is this kind of effect that is both fascinating and whet your appetite.
"Who is Zhang Jieyuan?"
Zhu Houzhao was also very dissatisfied with this.
Where is the beginning of a story? The story is so exciting, why don’t you tell me that it’s gone? It looks very similar to the eunuchs around me...
Zhu Feng said: "Zhang Jieyuan is a good friend of the minister, and these stories are all written by him."
Liu Jin on the side seemed to know something and hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, Zhang Jieyuan came first in the Yingtianfu Township Examination and is very talented in studies. This time, he and the young father-in-law are the ones who donated the medicine to the princess."
"Is this the person?"
It's okay not to say this, but after hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was very angry, "It caused my arm to be pricked several times, and I couldn't see the emperor's sister and mother for many days. My feelings are that he is here." You’re doing something behind your back! Now you’ve even written half of a story, it’s so heartbreaking!”
Liu Jin originally wanted to brag about Zhang Zhou's abilities.
But sensing that something was not right, Zhu Houzhao clearly had a grudge against Zhang Zhou.
Aren't they just going to prick you a few times? This is to save your life, why are you so stingy?
"Where is he? I must teach him a lesson!" Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Feng angrily.
Zhu Feng looked helpless. He now realized that his ability was obviously not enough to control the little prince.
He was also thinking in his mind, Brother Zhang, it is better for you to come to the capital and help me deal with this monster, otherwise I will shed my skin even if I die. If you come, I may have a good life.
I originally came to the capital to enjoy the blessings, but before I could see the situation in the capital, I was all away treating patients and raising children, and I didn’t even have personal freedom.
My life is miserable.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Zhang Jieyuan is currently in Nanjing, but His Majesty has sent someone to urge him to come to the capital. After he passes the examination, he will take part in the examination next year." Zhu Feng said.
Zhu Houzhao became angry when he heard this: "I have been tricked by others before they even arrived in the capital, right?"
"No, no." Zhu Feng hurriedly explained, "No one is playing tricks on you."
"You still say no? You wrote a story for me, and you only wrote this little. Are you trying to make me sleepy? You guys, I leave this story to you to compile. You have compiled the story and go to bed tonight. Beforehand, tell me!"
"ah?"
A group of eunuchs around him stared at each other.
Can you still play like this?
Is this story...an ordinary folk tale?
Gu Dayong approached and said: "Your Highness, the people in this story are all outside the court's laws. They say they are knights, but they are actually a group of... mobs. They are entangled in parties and associations and endanger the government. From the perspective of slaves, you still don't want to listen. ”
Zhu Houzhao glared at him.
I saw that you were fascinated when you listened to it just now. Now I ask you to make it up. Are you telling me that this is the story of a group of mobs? This hat wears well.
Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Do I need you to teach me what story I want to hear? You are limited to go back and make up this story. If you can't make it up well, you will be asked!"
All the eunuchs and eunuchs felt like mourning their heirs.
Who is this provoking?
We are just listening to a story with the prince, but there is actually personal risk. It’s really a ghost!
…
…
At noon, Zhu Feng finally got out of trouble and wanted to leave the palace.
Liu Jin sent him to Donghua Gate.
"Young Master, please don't tell stories next time. You have also seen that after hearing the story, His Royal Highness wanted to know what happened next. How can we and others make up this story?"
Although Liu Jin is smart, he is good at catering.
But asking him to make up a story would be unprofessional and would be too embarrassing for him.
Zhu Feng said: "Eunuch Liu, don't worry. My good friend is Zhang Zhou. He will come to the capital soon. Let him explain it then."
"Impossible." Liu Jin said, "He is just a civil servant, how can he have the chance to enter the palace?"
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Just ask him to write it down and give it to me, and I'll tell it to the prince. Wouldn't that be enough?"
"This... is fine, but what should I do these days?" Liu Jin cried sadly.
Because of the appearance of Zhu Feng, the layout of the East Palace has changed. Originally, Liu Jin and others were able to control the little prince in a relatively gentle state by playing with him. Even if problems occasionally arise, they can deal with them after discussion. freely.
But with the appearance of Zhu Feng, the situation changed, and Zhu Houzhao's tricks were different from before. This was not something that a few eunuchs and eunuchs could handle.
Zhu Feng said: "To tell you the truth, I am also in a hurry. I will send someone a letter to urge him to come to the capital as soon as possible. If possible, I will ask him to write a story and send it to him as soon as he arrives in the capital. Does Eunuch Liu think this is okay?"
Liu Jin said helplessly: "At present, this is all we can do. The same goes for Zhang Jieyuan. No one is here, but everyone is mentioning him. I heard that even His Majesty often mentions him. He is really a god. Young Master, please go back quickly. Come on, don’t tell any more stories later, it’s okay to donate things from outside the palace, the slaves can’t stand the torment! Alas!”
…
…
Zhang Zhou's journey north was not very fast.
He was originally traveling with his family, and he was not going to the capital to take office. The examination would be in February next year, so why bother himself and his family?
But I couldn't stand it...letters related to him arrived every day.
If the emperor urged him, the local officials would also receive him. He could even stay at the inn along the way. Zhu Feng also wrote to urge him. Zhu Feng also asked him to write down the rest of the story and send it to him quickly. Go to the capital.
Zhang Zhou also refused very rudely...
On the way! Do not have time! Let’s wait until we get to the capital!
The tenth day of October.
At the Fengtian Palace meeting, Zhu Youtang was listening to Shuntian Prefecture’s report on the development of the epidemic.
The person in charge of reporting was none other than Yin Hanzhong of Shuntian Prefecture.
"... After the first batch of medicine was delivered to the capital in Nanjing, it was used in places around the imperial city on people who had not yet been infected with the epidemic. The effect was good. So far, only a few people have become infected after taking the medicine, mostly within a day or two. Yes, but it will take time to prove the efficacy of this medicine..."
Xie Qian joked: "That means there are still some people who are sick?"
This time even Zhu Youtang couldn't listen and looked unhappy.
Before the emperor took medicine, the emperor might still listen to the questions raised by his ministers. But now that the emperor has taken medicine like the common people, how could he still accept such rhetoric?
But from the perspective of a direct remonstrator, Xie Qian would not deliberately consider the emperor's likes and dislikes.
Dai Yi came out and said: "Mr. In just a few days, timely medication can save those who are about to get sick, no matter what medicine is used, it is still difficult to avoid the disease!"
Han Zhong followed Dai Yi's words and said: "What Eunuch Dai said is absolutely true. Based on the current public rewards, even if those who have used medicine get sick, they will be much less severe than ordinary people. There has been no case of death after taking medicine."
"Wow!"
All the ministers in the court were in an uproar.
This is tantamount to refuting Xie Qian.
However, Xie Qian was not embarrassed, he just smiled and returned to the court.
For Xie Qian, it was his job to make jokes and raise questions in the court.
