"That can only mean that I have no chance to be with the capital."
Su Jing replied calmly.
He could naturally hear Zhu Yuanzhang's threat.
But as long as Zhu Yuanzhang didn't directly use his status as emperor to suppress him, Su Jing would have nothing to fear.
To be convinced, that is impossible.
"Su Jing, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? There are some words that I don't want to explain too clearly."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Su Jing with a hint of questioning.
Su Jing's expression remained unchanged: "Uncle, tell me what you have to say. It's so boring to make all these twists and turns. What are you going to do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Don't you know what I want to do?"
"I'm not a roundworm in your belly, how do I know what you think?"
Su Jing replied matter-of-factly.
"Then you just..."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately wanted to say that Su Jing and Chang Yuchun were talking about the Northern Expedition just now. He expressed his thoughts so clearly that they were no different than the roundworms in his stomach.
But as soon as he spoke, he stopped immediately.
This cannot expose the fact that he was eavesdropping.
"Aren't you smart? Is it difficult for you to do this little thing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically.
Su Jing shook her head and said: "Don't, uncle, why do you suddenly put a high hat on me? I am just an ordinary person, not smart."
Anyway, just accept the move and continue to act stupid.
Su Jing's response made Zhu Yuanzhang quite distressed.
Mu Ying on the side looked very impressed by Su Jing's courage. Most people don't have such courage.
The person in front of him was Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Empire.
"Su Jing, tell me, what do you mean by this poem?"
Zhu Yuanzhang directly took out his trump card and took out the copy of "Niannujiao·Mid-Autumn Festival to the Moon" from his arms.
Su Jing was a little curious about what Zhu Yuanzhang took out.
After looking at it carefully, he frowned and said, "What's wrong with this poem?"
It was a drunken time, and a long time passed, and Su Jing really forgot about it.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What's wrong? You asked me what's wrong with the lyrics you wrote?"
"I write?"
Su Jing was stunned for a moment, then recalled it carefully.
After a moment, he said with a smile: "Uncle, wasn't this the poem that Niu Yi and I recited while drinking before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year? Why did it become mine?"
"My poetry level is beyond my ability to write such words. Niu Yi is also serious, what can I tell you about this kind of thing?"
Wen Zhengming's "Niannujiao·Mid-Autumn Festival to the Moon" is definitely not a top-notch Mid-Autumn Festival poem, but its level is not low.
Su Jing is very self-aware of her own level.
"snort!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "Su Jing, I took out this poem. Do you think I didn't check it? There is no record of this poem at all. There is no other possibility except that it was written by you. .”
Poetry, especially high-level poetry, basically has records and inheritance.
Literary people pay more attention to this aspect.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally asked Song Lian for advice. There has been no record of this song "Niannujiao·Mid-Autumn Festival to the Moon" before.
Su Jing laughed after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words. He said lightly: "Uncle, you don't know something now. This poem is indeed not written by me. Someone read it to me in my dream."
It’s still a dream!
Now Su Jing has learned that as long as something cannot be explained, just call it a dream.
Anyway, even in the previous life, I couldn't fully study the dream, let alone the Ming Dynasty now.
Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously stunned when he heard Su Jing's words. He really didn't expect that Su Jing would use dreams to explain it.
"Su Jing, this poem is unsatisfactory and full of ambition. Isn't it exactly what you have in mind? Why do you keep hiding it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Su Jing again.
It is not that important whether the lyrics were composed by Su Jing. The key is that the meaning expressed by the lyrics is what Su Jing was thinking.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Su Jing laughed.
Su Jing naturally knew something about Wen Zhengming's "Niannujiao·Mid-Autumn Festival to the Moon".
Su Jing also knew the connotation expressed in it.
What he didn't expect was that Zhu Yuanzhang actually regarded the emotions expressed by Wen Zhengming as his own.
No wonder there is such a thing.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Su."
When Su Jing laughed, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more ugly, and Mu Ying could only remind him in a low voice.
"Sorry, I lost my temper."
Su Jing came back to her senses and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Uncle, you really misunderstood me. I just recited this poem casually. I don't have any angry emotions, and I don't want to display any ambitions."
Laughter is a joke, explanations still need to be explained.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a straight face, listening to Su Jing's explanation, feeling extremely embarrassed.
After working on it for a long time, it was all a mistake.
Su Jing still had her original attitude and had no intention of entering the court.
But now, the stage has been set, and it won't work if Su Jing, the protagonist, doesn't sing.
He must be allowed to take the stage!
"Su Jing, the capital is very big. I hope you will stay for a few more days and take a good look at the prosperity here. Maybe you will have the idea of staying here."
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Su Jing.
The prosperity of Yingtian Mansion is not comparable to Lishui County.
It would definitely be more convenient for Su Jing to stay in Niu Mansion than in Lishui County. At least Zhu Yuanzhang in Niu Mansion could come over every now and then if he wanted to come.
"That's okay. Anyway, my business in Lishui County is the same with or without me."
Su Jing thought for a moment and then said.
He already knew Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose. If he refused directly and returned to Lishui County, he might still not give up.
It would be better to stay in Yingtian for a while and completely cut off Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
As for the business in Lishui County, as Su Jing said, there is not much difference with him or without him.
"Okay, Su Jing, just agree. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his expression softening a lot.
Although the goal was not achieved, at least it was not nothing.
He is also very busy and has many official duties to deal with, so he cannot chat with Su Jing all the time.
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang left directly.
"Mr. Su, I also have official duties, so I won't stay here for a long time. If anything happens, just tell the housekeeper, and someone will naturally handle it."
Mu Ying said to Su Jing.
As a minister of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he and Su Jing went to Laizhou Mansion before. Although he arranged for his subordinates to handle it, there was still a considerable backlog of official business.
"Okay, brother Wenying, just do it. It doesn't matter to me."
Su Jing said with a smile.
Since the uncle is Zhu Yuanzhang, then Wenying is only Mu Ying.
There is no reason why Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son should not be busy.
With Mu Ying's departure, apart from the servants, Su Jing was the only one left in this large 'Niu Mansion'.
the other side.
Inside the main hall.
A group of princes had just finished class and were gathering together at the moment.
Without him, the big brother Zhu Biao is back.
In the hearts of this group of younger brothers, the status of eldest brother Zhu Biao is extremely stable. No matter who he is, they all respect Zhu Biao very much.
Due to state affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have many opportunities to teach them on weekdays.
As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Zhu Biao often plays the role of a father, so in addition to respect, there is also a hint of fear.
It can be said that if it were not for Zhu Biao's early death, the position of Emperor Ming would never have fallen to Zhu Di.
He didn't need the support of those civil servants and generals. He only needed a look from Zhu Biao, and Zhu Di would be obedient and not dare to do anything.
"Brother, will you go back with Mr. Su this time?"
The second prince Zhu Xi asked Zhu Biao. This was the question that all princes were most concerned about.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and replied: "I don't know, everything still depends on what my father wants."
Zhu Biao already knew a lot about the current situation in the court, and also knew about his father Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of letting Su Jing enter the court.
Therefore, this master-disciple teaching thing may not last long.
No, it should be said that it is not certain whether it can still exist.
"Brother, what happened? Mr. Su is now granted the title of Renyuan Bo. Wouldn't it be more convenient to teach eldest brother from now on?"
The third prince Zhu Fan asked Zhu Biao.
Although Zhu Fan has the most sources of information and knows the most, people who have not personally experienced the affairs of the court still have limited understanding.
In Zhu Fan's view, Su Jing was now an earl, so there was no need for Zhu Biao, the eldest tutor, to continue to be in Lishui County.
Everything will only be more convenient, and teaching and other things can continue.
But Zhu Biao's answer was obviously beyond Zhu Fan's expectation.
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "Third brother, some things are more complicated and everything is still unknown."
Zhu Biao did not agree very much with Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of letting Su Jing stay in the Ming Dynasty to balance the Huaixi Group.
In his opinion, Su Jing could play a greater role.
Instead of participating in political battles and wasting energy in vain.
But Zhu Biao knew better that what his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, had already decided would be difficult to revise now.
"Brother, can we go find Mr. Su?"
Zhu Di asked Zhu Biao.
During this period, he has really been studying seriously, and his progress has been witnessed by everyone.
Now Zhu Di really wants to see Su Jing again and ask some questions that he has wanted to ask for a long time.
"Wait a little longer. I'll tell you if I can."
Zhu Biao replied.
Zhu Biao still doesn't know what the situation is between Zhu Yuanzhang and Su Jing.
With everything unclear, Zhu Biao did not dare to take his brother to see Su Jing rashly.
Today's court situation is quite complicated for Su Jing.
Several princes have some feelings for each other. It is really strange that Su Jing has been granted the title of Ren Yuanbo but cannot be seen now.
But Zhu Biao said so, so it can only be said that the current situation is really quite complicated, and it's not easy for them to ask more questions.
If Zhu Biao didn't say anything directly, it meant that it was not the right time for them to know.
"Biao'er, you're here too, just in time."
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's figure appeared in the main hall. As soon as he arrived at the palace after returning from Niu Mansion, he rushed to the main hall.
"Meet my father!" xN.
All the princes immediately saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his sons and said, "You should all know about Su Jing's stay in Yingtian. I'm here to tell you that Su Jing will stay in Yingtian for a while, but I'm not sure how long."
As soon as these words came out, all the princes and even Zhu Biao were a little surprised.
Zhu Biao didn't know how long Su Jing could stay in Yingtian, because he didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.
But what did Zhu Yuanzhang mean when he said this?
Isn't this Uncle Ren Yuan personally granted the title by their father Zhu Yuanzhang? How come he still doesn't even know whether Su Jing will stay in Yingtian or not?
Could it be said that Su Jing could still disobey their father's order?
"Father, I would like to know if we can go see Mr. Su?"
Zhu Di boldly asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "This is what I want to say next. During the period when Su Jing is in the cloudy sky, you can go find her by yourself, ask for advice, or do other things. I will not restrict you."
this……
Zhu Yuanzhang's words immediately stunned Zhu Di.
Such generous conditions were completely unexpected.
Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan were also shocked. They didn't expect that they could go directly to Su Jing by themselves.
"Father, are you telling the truth?"
Zhu Xi asked immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Of course, I came to see you just to tell you this."
Now Zhu Yuanzhang wants to let Su Jing stay in Yingtian for a longer time.
His own son is one of his methods.
"Father, is there nothing you should pay attention to?"
The third child, Zhu Fan, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "There is only one thing you need to know, and that is that when you go to seek advice from Su Jing, you must forget your identity as the prince, and you are not allowed to expose it unless he takes the initiative to reveal your identity."
This request made several princes present a little confused.
What kind of requirement is this?
Without revealing your identity?
That means Su Jing probably doesn't know their identities yet.
But what does it mean unless Su Jing takes the initiative to reveal their identities? Doesn't this mean that Su Jing actually knows their identities.
The minds of several people involved in this wave are a bit messed up.
You have obviously given Su Jing the title of earl, and you have praised Su Jing's achievements in books and newspapers. Why haven't you even confessed your identity?
His sons can no longer understand what Zhu Yuanzhang did.
"Father, I understand."
Zhu Fan cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and replied.
Although I don’t know why, it is necessary to deal with it first.
"My son understands!" x3
The other people also answered immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a few people and wanted to leave directly, but he still added: "I know you have doubts, but now is not the time for you to know this. Just do as I say."
Apart from Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of letting his other sons know about the affairs of this court.
At this time, Zhu Fan asked again: "Father, can Mr. Kaos also go to see Mr. Su?"
Now Kaos no longer studies in the main hall, but has entered the Hanlin Academy and worked as a clerk. In addition to working, he can read books in the Hanlin Academy and ask for advice from Hanlin Academy bachelors.
But the relationship between him and the third prince Zhu Fan has always been good.
At this moment, Zhu Fan asked for Kaos.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Of course, the requirements for him are the same."
