Zhu Jian was deeply thinking about letting his children come to guard the imperial mausoleum, recalling the bitterness and sweetness, and never forget the hard times, while his father, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, was doing nothing in Nanjing.
Nanjing Yingtianfu School, known as Guozixue during the Hongwu period, was the predecessor of the Confucius Temple in later generations and the Confucius Temple in Nanjing.
There is a courtyard behind this majestic school.
The gate is usually closed, and most of the people who come in and out are strong men. No one knows what is inside the yard.
And this is one of Dongchang's eighteen strongholds in Nanjing.
The trends of scholars were very important. The schools in the two capitals were under the close supervision of Dongchang and reported their trends to the emperor at all times.
But this time the Emperor came to Nanjing, Wang Cun thought about it a lot and felt that this place was the most suitable. He could listen to the sound of reading when he was free, and when he opened the window, he could see the students coming and going. The Emperor must have liked it very much.
So I chose this place as the safe house for the Supreme Emperor. I originally wanted the Supreme Emperor to feel the rich Shilin culture in Jiangnan and get spiritual comfort in the sea of books.
But what happened next was beyond Wang Cun's understanding.
Since he first entered Nanjing, His Majesty the Emperor has completely let himself go, and his brothers are getting on the bus everywhere. A few days ago, he was caught by the city patrol officer. He felt that his emperor's face was damaged. Now he wants to interfere in local government affairs. Want to The flower boats on the Qinhuai River have set sail again, hoping that the flower buildings on both sides will once again have colorful flags flying.
This is difficult for Wang Cun.
Wang Cun is the eunuch of Dongchang stationed in Nanjing, but this is a secret matter, and he cannot really go to Yingtian Mansion Office to force local officials to make changes.
Of course, although Wang Cun knew that doing things like this was somewhat bad, he could not withstand the pressure of the Supreme Emperor as a slave. In this way, Wang Chong approached Zhi Menda, a fellow Jinyiwei who was working in Nanjing.
Although Wang Cun did not dare to go to the local officials, he was more comfortable when facing the Jin Yiwei. Although Menda was a third-rank official, he still did not dare to underestimate Wang Chong. After listening to Wang Chong's description of the Emperor's request, Menda said it was very difficult, but he would find a way to do it.
The Wang Coffin was temporarily stabilized, and the Supreme Emperor was also temporarily stabilized.
However, although Menda promised fully, he would not do anything to directly smear himself, so he took advantage of the opportunity to send Yang Shan off to Hangzhou and shifted the blame to Xu Youzhen. .
Xu Youzhen is big and can carry it, but her small body cannot.
For several days in a row, Zhu Qizhen went to the Qinhuai River every day. Every time, he went happily and came back with a dark face.
After coming back, he scolded Wang Cun.
Wang Cun was also very angry and wanted to go to Menda, but was told that Menda had gone to Suhang to handle official business.
Wang Cun had no choice but to find a few women who were idle at home through connections and sent them to the residence of the Supreme Emperor. The first two days were fine, and Wang Cun was not scolded at all, but after two days, Zhu Qi Zhen felt bored and thought that being on the boat would be an extraordinary enjoyment, so he began to urge Wang Cong again, and then cursed Wang Cong.
In fact, although Zhu Qizhen lived a comfortable life since the civil engineering, he was always under the control of others. He was guarded by Leng Kuang in front of him, and there was the yin and yang weird Zhang Bao behind him. Even Menda, Zhao Huanong and others did not take him seriously. After so many years, there was only one Wang Cun who respected him very much and made him feel the feeling of power again.
Wang Cun was kind to him and behaved very humbly in front of him, but Zhu Qizhen kept making things difficult for him, which was somewhat unreasonable.
On this day, as usual, Zhu Qizhen got into his exclusive carriage and left his residence under the cover of night. From time to time in the school, the sound of students reading could be heard.
"The best is due to hard work, and the waste is due to play; the success is due to thinking, and the failure is due to randomness..."
"The human heart is only dangerous, the Taoist heart is only small, the essence is only one, and the persistence is in the middle..."
"When the sky is strong, a gentleman will strive to strengthen himself; when the terrain is weak, a gentleman will carry out his duties with great virtue..."
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations..."
Words of wisdom came out from the academy one after another, and Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting in the carriage, heard them very clearly, but people's emotions are different. The students read aloud the ideals in their hearts, Persistence, in Zhu Jianshen's place, it was just a little noisy, which made him upset.
He said to the outside: "Walk faster, there are constant noises every night. Are you a scholar? Do you have a sense of public morality? It's so noisy and noisy that the neighbors don't have to sleep. I really don't know what those local officials are." What do you think, don’t worry about them, but focus on things like flower boats, huh, putting the cart before the horse, being confused, and just doing nothing..."
The driver driving the carriage outside heard Zhu Qizhen's words and speeded up unconsciously.
Wang Cun, who was riding a horse, and several guards also quickened their pace.
Nowadays, people in Nanjing are not allowed to go out at night. There are soldiers patrolling the city everywhere. Almost every time Zhu Qizhen goes out, he will be stopped and interrogated. And every time, Wang Cun spent a lot of time before he was able to pass. .
Zhu Qizhen in the carriage obviously felt that the speed was a little faster, and he closed his eyes immediately, wanting to enjoy a moment of his own tranquility.
But just as Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes, the accelerating carriage suddenly stopped. Zhu Qizhen was not prepared at all, and the inertia made him very embarrassed.
Zhu Qizhen was furious and pulled open the curtain. He was about to curse, but before he could say anything, his attention was attracted by the battle in front.
More than forty tall men in black blocked the road. The key was that they also carried knives.
Behind these men, a carriage was faintly seen.
Looking at these people, Zhu Qizhen suddenly lost his confidence. He patted the driver and said softly: "Turn around, let's go back..."
The coachman also nodded quickly and wanted to turn the carriage around, but at this time, another group of men came out of the small alley behind and blocked their way back.
Wang Cun, who was riding a horse, stepped forward. His hand was already on the saber on the horse's back. Although he was a eunuch, Wang Cun was a real martial arts eunuch. His skill and swordsmanship were second to none in the entire Dongchang. In the top five, he once fought his way through the siege of twenty people and escaped unscathed.
As he walked forward, Wang Cun glanced at a guard who had been guarding the carriage. The guard gave instructions, dismounted, and boarded the carriage: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. This carriage only has doors to enter. Wait a minute. If something unexpected happens, I just need to guard the door and you can sit back and relax. This is not far from the mansion. If there is any change, the soldiers patrolling the city will come immediately and you will not be in danger."
After hearing the guard's words, Zhu Qizhen swallowed his saliva: "Don't be afraid, I have never seen any scene before. It's so small. A small scene can't scare me..."
He had indeed experienced big scenes, but at that time, he almost peed in fear.
Although he said this, Zhu Qizhen still entered his car as quickly as possible...
And the guard just stood guard at the car door.
At this time, Zhu Qizhen somewhat regretted coming out today...
