Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 156 The Crisis Is Coming
thought here.

Zhao Laosan nodded, smiled and said:

"Cuihua is willing to go to the capital to accompany this child Tie Zhu, of course I have no objection."

Hearing that Zhao Laosan agreed, Zhou's face showed a joyful expression.

"Sister-in-law Zhou, I will take Tie Zhu to Taiyuan City before dawn tomorrow, so if the child Cuihua is going with me, after you pack your luggage, send Cuihua over early."

Fortunately, Zhaojiazhuang is not very far from Taiyuan City.

Zhao Laosan was going to set off before dawn, and sent Tie Zhu and Cuihua to Taiyuan City and handed them over to the officials in the city.

Then he came back, almost before the sun went down, and could be home.

He has all the time planned.

Zhou raised her eyebrows and said with an excited smile:

"Alright then, I'll go home and talk to Cuihua now, and start packing."

After speaking, Zhou turned around and went out to go home.

Humming an unknown ditty all the way, everyone was in high spirits.

……

The next day, at Yin time in the morning, the sky was very bright.

Tie Zhu's family got up early.

Today is the day to see Tie Zhu off, and the family reluctantly bid farewell at the gate.

"I don't know when Tie Zhu will come back after leaving?"

Tie Zhuniang looked at Tie Zhu with a sad expression, with deep reluctance in her eyes.

Zhao Laosan said impatiently:
"Tie Zhu went to the capital to study. This is to achieve a great career. This is a great joy. It's not like he won't come back in the future, so why are you still crying?"

"Okay, you don't need to send it away, we are still in a hurry, so we are on our way."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Laosan carried the package on his back, took Tie Zhu and Cuihua with him, and the three of them walked towards the entrance of the village.

The morning light shone on them, and they headed for Taiyuan City along the bumpy path.

There, there is a brilliant future waiting for Zhao Tiezhu.

……

Chongzhen 17th year, July [-]th.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Prefecture.

"Master Li, how many students are there in Beijing?"

Chen Fan looked at Li Yizhi with a relaxed face and asked.

During this time, Chen Fan heard that students were arriving in the capital one after another.

and so.

Taking advantage of nothing to do today, I called Li Yizhi over to ask about the situation.

Li Yizhi smiled lightly, and said calmly:

"During this period of time, students from the surrounding areas of the capital have begun to arrive in the capital one after another. At present, there are 230 students in total. The officials arranged these students to rest in the tribute courtyard."

Chen Fan nodded with a flat expression.

"Master Li has to worry about this matter. The Daming Royal Primary School is still under construction and has not been completed. When the school is completed, all the students can move to the dormitory."

As these students arrived in the capital one after another from all over the country, Chen Fan became more and more looking forward to it.

These students are the brightest group of children in Ming Dynasty. After being trained in science education, they will definitely bring a new era to Ming Dynasty.

When Chen Fan was thinking about the future of Daming, there was an old man who never forgot about Chen Fan.

In a courtyard somewhere in the capital, in a brightly lit study room.

The old man surnamed Zhou looked at the flickering candlelight alone and thought deeply.

In the past few days, he visited the residence of the Minister of Rites several times, and asked Li Shangshu in detail about the specific situation of science education.

After his clueless speculation, the old man surnamed Zhou became more and more sure that the National Teacher intended to overthrow the imperial examination system.

After confirming this point, the old man surnamed Zhou told some of his close friends about the situation, hoping that everyone could work together to get rid of the national teacher and maintain the imperial examination system.

But those best friends shirked one by one, not wanting to be tainted with the serious crime of treason.

"They're all short-sighted rats. Without the imperial examination system, would our century-old families still have a foothold in Daming?"

At that time, the old man surnamed Zhou yelled angrily as if he hated iron but not steel.

The old man surnamed Zhou raised the moral banner of maintaining the imperial examination system, but those friends were unmoved.

no way.

They can't count on it, they can only rely on the old man surnamed Zhou himself.

The old man surnamed Zhou was sitting upright on the mahogany chair in the study, his eyes were deep, and no one knew what conspiracy was plotting in his mind.

in fact.

The old man surnamed Zhou planned to attack the national teacher, in order to maintain the imperial examination system was only one of the important reasons.

The reason for this is to tell his close friends, hoping to get help from them.

The most fundamental reason why the old man surnamed Zhou wanted to deal with the national teacher was that he wanted to obtain the magical ability to travel through time and space from the national teacher.

The old man surnamed Zhou saw the Imperial Master for the first time during the live broadcast incident two months ago.

At that time, the miraculous method of the national teacher frightened him so much that he thought that there were really immortals in this world.

Available in subsequent contacts.

He found that the national teacher was just an ordinary young man, except that he was handsome, suave, cute, and his flowers were blooming, he was no different from the young people of Ming Dynasty.

And he also discovered that the national teacher did not have the slightest magic power of the fairy family.

It was only because of unknown reasons that the national teacher could travel to the country of Hua that he said.

Bring many novelty treasures from China.

in case.

He can seize the national teacher and torture the secret from the national teacher's mouth.

So, can he also gain the ability to travel through time and space?

The more the old man surnamed Zhou thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

Thinking of this, the old man surnamed Zhou's cheeks flushed and his breathing became short of breath.

It was caused by being too excited.

However, the old man surnamed Zhou quickly calmed down.

He also knows very well that murdering a national teacher is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan.

If he can't succeed, once the failure is exposed, it will definitely bring disaster to his Zhou family.

and so.

He had to plan carefully and carefully, and every detail could not go wrong.

Think of this.

The old man surnamed Zhou stood up and called in the guard Geng who was waiting outside the door.

Guard Geng is a strong man with a height of eight feet and a burly figure.

Since Geng Huwei's father's generation, their family has been serving the Zhou family.

These decades of loyalty, the old man surnamed Zhou has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

and so.

It was precisely because of such trust that the old man surnamed Zhou was relieved to ask Guard Geng to make preparations and take action at any time when he found an opportunity.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

After Guard Geng entered the room, he asked suspiciously.

"Come forward, sir. I'm going to tell you to do something."

The old man surnamed Zhou called Guard Geng to him, whispered to his ear, and told him the plan.

After Geng Huwei listened, his face was full of horror, and he asked inconceivably:
"Master, this... this..."

Geng Huwei never dreamed that the master would dare to murder the national teacher.

Don't you know that assassinating a national teacher is a more serious crime than assassinating princes and ministers?

If they are discovered, they will be executed everywhere.

Seeing Guard Geng's shocked expression, Master Zhou also knew that he would not be able to digest the news for a while.

"You have been working in the Zhou Mansion for decades. My lord, I trust you and let you do such a big thing. After the thing is done, you will be absolutely indispensable to the prosperity and wealth."

Hearing this, Guard Geng struggled for a while, finally gritted his teeth and said:
"I will go through fire and water for a humble job, and I will do whatever I want!"
