Cheng Minzheng is very talented.
He is the son of the former Minister of War of Nanjing. Because of his reputation as a child prodigy, he was recommended to Emperor Yingzong when he was only a teenager. With him is the current Pavilion Elder Li Dongyang.
According to records, Emperor Yingzong asked them to do the right thing by saying "a crab is dressed in unicorn armor".
Cheng Minzheng replied: Phoenix is full of articles. Yingzong was very impressed.
Li Dongyang said: Spiders are full of knowledge.
He is just like a child actor who has been famous his whole life. And this was not packaged. Later, he became a Jinshi, became an imperial scholar, and served as an official to Hongzhi, and everything went smoothly.
From the perspective of the literati of this era, he was indeed successful.
But how to say,
At the age of 19, Cheng Minzheng ranked first in the Shuntianfu Township Examination in "Shangshu". At the age of twenty-three, he was awarded the title of Editor-in-Chief of the Hanlin Academy. Fame is prominent and official career is smooth.
Therefore, I have deep feelings for Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which is the first level of advancement. In addition, he was young and arrogant, and his knowledge was not deep, so he was not able to form independent academic opinions. It was not until later that he became a defender of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
With this kind of thinking, as soon as a few words are uttered, Zhu Houzhao will naturally be at odds with him.
Compared with Cheng Minzheng's arrogance and Liang Chu's less impressive experience, he naturally spoke in a softer voice, "Keqin may not be understood in the East Palace, and the adults in the court have also advised him. But... "
"But what? Does Shuhou have any unspeakable secrets?"
"That's not true." Liang Chu came closer and said, "It's just that I haven't defended Your Highness before you."
Cheng Minzheng's eyes widened when he heard this reason, and he was very surprised.
"Your Highness is only an eighteen-year-old child, but all the princes in the court are well-educated people."
Zhang Tianrui in the box was so scared that he wanted to block his ears when he heard this.
Liu Jin couldn't hold back his anger, "This Cheng Minzheng is so presumptuous!"
"Hey, keep your voice down. I want to keep listening."
During the Wanli period,
Chief Assistant Gao Gong once said this to Emperor Wanli, which meant that he was a ten-year-old child. How could he listen to him in governing the country?
This is true,
But it is not acceptable for a minister to speak like this.
Later, this was also one of the evidences that led to Gao Gong's downfall.
"I feel that Keqin has misunderstood. This has nothing to do with knowledge. His Highness built this academy to find a way for the poor people to make a living. This is the right way. How can we win the argument for the right way?"
"I have also heard about the reputation of the East Palace for its kindness. This is indeed a blessing for the court and the people." Cheng Minzheng said this, but there was some worry on his face.
"Yes, Keqin has come to the capital. If you learn more about him in the future, you will know that His Highness is the image of the Holy Lord."
"Shu Hou is also a loyal person." Cheng Minzheng teased him gently, "Don't even think about it. If the matter of the academy is really as you said, it is undefeable. Then the courtiers naturally have no reason to object, but why don't they go through it? Cabinet? Why not allocate money from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"Is it possible that Shuhou believes that His Majesty will stop it for the sake of the people? Will Liu, Li, and Xie, the three elders, stop it? Will Master Zhou Jingzhou stop it?"
After asking three times in a row, he indeed revealed the strangest thing. Liang Chu was speechless. He felt ashamed. In terms of brains, prodigies like Cheng Minzheng were more agile. ….

"What does Keqin mean?"
Cheng Minzheng said quite confidently and somewhat proudly: "I can assert that this matter is by no means simple. And this is not something that can be done with a few coins. Where does this money come from? I don't understand where it comes from or where it goes. , I feel sorry for you, Liang Shuhou, but you still think this is normal?"
"boom!"
Zhu Houzhao, who was serving tea and drinking water, smashed the cup heavily.
It doesn't matter if he is angry that others are smart and see the fishy things in his academy, or that he is just a child. He never thought of hiding it from so many smart people.
He was angry with these smart people for insisting on taking the bad angle first.
Du, staring at him, turning over and over again, trying to find a mistake.
It was as if discovering his secret was a great achievement.
For a moment, he felt like a magician. He closed the door and meditated hard and finally figured out a trick. When he went out to perform, he had to stand the test of everyone's eyes.
But he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and these people should obviously help him.
To put it another way, what's the point of telling him today that the money was used to blackmail Li Guang? What ability can Cheng Minzheng show?
Zhu Houzhao began to understand why he and Li Dongyang were famous together, one was the elder and the other was not. Being smart must be used in the right place.
On the other side, this sound also made Cheng Minzheng and Liang Chu outside hear the movement.
The two looked at each other and looked here strangely.
They were all thinking about which colleague should be sitting inside.
"Cheng Minzheng," he held his hands toward the box, "If you feel that there is something inappropriate in what I just said, please go out and see me for a brief discussion."
Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to waste time with this guy, and after word spread, he said that a prince and a minister had a quarrel in the street. This is indeed unseemly.
Because he can't do it.
"Zhang Tianrui, get out." He pointed to the outside, suppressing his voice but still a little angry, "Go and ask him how he thinks I get my money. See if he dares to answer!"
Zhang Tianrui is in a bit of a dilemma. Based on his seniority and official position, it is difficult for him to match the height of Cheng Minzheng. But the prince had an order, and he did not dare to disobey it.
So I could only bite the bullet and open the door.
Liang Chu was an official in Zhan Shifu with him, so he naturally knew him, "Brother Wenxiang?! Why are you here?"
"Brother Shuhou, you are well." Zhang Tianrui glanced at Cheng Minzheng again and saluted slightly.
When Cheng Minzheng saw that he was such an unknown person, he was a little displeased with his behavior of slapping the table just now. "Just now, Mr. Cheng, talked about the source and destination of the money for building the academy. Mr. Zhang seemed to have different opinions." Opinion?"
Zhang Tianrui thought that there was a prince behind him, so he shouldn't be afraid of this person. It doesn't matter if you get scolded by Mr. Cheng, but it's not worth giving the prince a lesson later.
In fact, Cheng Minzheng had an answer in his mind.
The East Palace cannot produce silver either.
In light of recent events,
It can only be from Li Guang's side, otherwise where else could it come from?
But if there is no evidence, even Cheng Minzheng would not dare to say more. Because this matter concerns the prince. ….

How long has Li Guangcai been dead? The tomb is still new!
Zhang Tianrui's question seems ordinary.
But when Cheng Minzheng said something, he felt something was wrong, and then he snorted quite angrily.
He originally wanted to talk nicely, but he didn't expect the other party to dig such a big hole for him! How could such an insidious statement be made by a gentleman?
Fortunately, Cheng Minzheng is still a smart person even if he is arrogant. If it were the stupider person next to him, his life would have been lost here today.
Zhang Tianrui was helpless. What could he do? !
But Liang Chu was a little embarrassed, "Keqin, Brother Wenxiang didn't mean that."
"Whatever. There's no point in having fun today." Cheng Minzheng also lost interest in arguing with people like Zhang Tianrui who were not gentlemen.
Daotong was too lazy to conspire with him, so he rolled up his sleeves and left.
Liang Chu also left.
This made Zhang Tianrui go out and ask this question with a confused face, and then came back with a confused face.
"Sir... now, they have all left. I thought I would have a fight with Mr. Cheng."
"Look, he dares!" Zhu Houzhao was a little disdainful. He talked so much nonsense that even a single question made him choke.
Only Liu Jin smiled brightly and tried his best to coax and say, "Young master, today is considered a day."
Asking about the right and wrong of retreating, the servant admires him. "
This is indeed not a lie. After all, I have been following him for so long, and I can’t help but admire him. .
