He is 61 this year, and he pays little attention to personal honor and disgrace, but of course he pays more attention to his family and future generations.

If Zhu Zhanji, the sure heir to the throne, does not curry favor with him, who else can he curry favor with?

Zhu Zhanji was not afraid that someone would compete with him for the throne at this time, but he was mainly afraid that there would be some scandal, which would be recorded by those unwilling civil servants who followed Zhu Gaochi.

It's nothing if it's written truthfully, he didn't do anything anyway.I'm afraid that some unscrupulous civil servants who invite names will make up stories about father and son fighting for the position, son imprisoning Laozi, and even son playing with Laozi's women and poisoning Laozi.

Once someone writes like this, he can't speak clearly with ten mouths.

He never underestimated the bottom line of those unsatisfied literati——

Mrs. Zhang came out of the yard, came to Zhu Zhanji's side, and asked softly, "Why is Zhanji standing here?"

Facing this mother, Zhu Zhanji didn't want to hide anything, sighed and said: "I dare not get too close to my father and let people write some stories. So you must act upright so that everyone can see."

Mrs. Zhang frowned, and said: "This matter has to be guarded against, why don't you go back to the palace, and we will take care of you here."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "It's not that serious, as long as I stay away from my father. If I go back to the palace at this time, wouldn't it prove that my son is not filial!"

Mrs. Zhang sighed, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "I was born in the royal family, and my son suffered a lot."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "The child is not suffering, on the contrary, it is very fun!"

As the sun set in the west, a burst of dark clouds drifted over, and the sky quickly darkened.Because there are more people like Zhu Zhanji in the other courtyard, it looks much more lively.

However, everyone tried not to make a sound, and the entire courtyard was extremely quiet.

Everyone else has no appetite, and Zhu Zhanji can't show that he is eating and drinking.

The courier who came back from America brought back half a shipment of sweet potatoes, and the other courtyard also sent some over.Zhu Zhanji had someone cook sweet potato porridge. It was the first time for everyone to eat it, and they all ate it with gusto.

Compared with the meager meals here in other courtyards, the Imperial Academy in the capital is brightly lit tonight and the feast is full of delicacies.

Although the news of the crown prince's critical illness had spread to the capital, the crown prince had been critically ill three times in the past year, and most people didn't take it to heart.

Led by Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, Honglu Temple, Imperial Academy, and Guozijian, most of them sent their deputies to attend the banquet.

Including the minister of reading the papers, the envoy of Luan Yiwei, and the officials who accepted the papers, closed the seals, received the palms, supervised the examination, guarded the army, filled the list, printed the papers, supplied, praised, etc., and attended the banquet together with the Xinke Jinshi.

One of the imperial ministers is the main minister, and each of the ministers has one seat, and each of the following officials has one seat.

On the Jinshi side, there is one seat for the No. [-] scholar, one seat for the second place and one for Tanhua, and four seats for the remaining Jinshi.

The second place sits on the left seat of the top pick, while Tanhua sits on the right seat.

Yu Qian, the second place in the list, received no less attention than the champion Xie Zhenqi. He was originally selected as the tenth by eight examiners, but it was Zhu Zhanji who promoted him to the position of Tanhua.

Moreover, everyone has seen his strategies and theories.More than half of these Jinshi are better than him in terms of essays, but his policy theory is broad-minded, macro and elegant, and has something to say, which is still very admirable.

In addition, among the group of Jinshi, he is also the youngest group, and he is not yet 24 years old this year.

Xie Zhenqi is also paying attention to this Tanhua who is one year younger than himself. He already knows everything that happened that day from Xie Jin. If the ministers hadn't spoken out, His Highness would have almost listed him as the champion.

Xie Zhenqi also read his policy theory. In terms of literary talent, Xie Zhenqi dismissed it. However, he, a young man who has never been to sea, can actually speak clearly about various policy policies, which is very rare. .

No matter how proud Xie Zhenqi is, he still thinks that some of Yu Qian's views are more comprehensive than he thinks.

So he was very interested in Yu Qian, and after everyone sat down, he took the initiative to talk to him. "Hi brother Yu."

Yu Qian told Xie Zhenqi that he had heard of the name a long time ago. He originally thought that this famous talent of the Ming Dynasty would be very arrogant, but he did not expect that he would be very polite.He hurriedly replied: "Brother Zhongping, you and I are in the same department, just call me Ting Yi."

Both of them wanted to get along with each other, and after a few intimate chats, Xie Zhenqi asked: "Brother Ting Yi, Brother Yu has one thing that I don't understand. My brother has never been in politics or gone to sea. Can you have such insights into current affairs?"

Yu Qian also said without reservation: "This is mainly due to my great-grandfather. He used to be the chief manager of Hangzhou Road, and my Yu family ancestor was once honored. Although I have never met his old man, the wealth he left behind is impressive. So much more than the books."

Xie Zhenqi knew that the chief supervisor of Hangzhou Road in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties was more powerful than the current chief envoy.In addition to leaving a good family background, what is more important is those social connections.Just relying on these favors, it is not a problem to protect the glory of the three generations of their Yu family.

Yu Qian said again: "In the generation of grandfather, he was just a head of the Ministry of Industry, and in the generation of father, he was just a scholar. It can be said that one generation is not as good as the previous generation.

However, the downfall of the family has given me the habit of being good at thinking and analyzing. No matter what happens, I am used to thinking from multiple perspectives.The family ancestor didn't like business, but my father made a living by doing business. Their disputes also made me good at considering issues from opposite sides.

And my father has a wide range of friends, and I have been fascinated by it, so he naturally knows a little more than others.In addition, the imperial court published a lot of books last year, and the knowledge in the books and the understanding of the subordinates are mutually confirmed, so they are naturally familiar with the overseas situation. "

Yu Qian's openness surprised Xie Zhenqi, and at the same time was moved by Yu Qian's honesty.He clasped his fists and said: "Brother Ting Yi's analysis method is like enlightenment to Brother Yu. It's inconvenient today, and I look forward to having a good talk with Brother Yu someday."

Yu Qian was very happy with the attitude of the number one scholar he admired, he laughed and said: "I also have the same intention, why not just tomorrow night."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The other courtyard was built by Zhu Zhanji at the beginning. Sixty wooden houses were built at the beginning, and the hot spring water was drawn out to soak in the rain and dew.

Although this kind of leisure wooden house of later generations does not look grand, it is much more comfortable to live in than the main hall.

Because there are many female relatives living here, Zhu Zhanji also specially asked people to use a curtain to isolate the place, forming a distinction between inside and outside.

Zhu Zhanji lived in a wooden house, and Liu Wan was left next to him. He was responsible for delivering news to Zhu Zhanji, and he couldn't be too far away.

Taking advantage of not having to accompany his wife and concubines tonight, Zhu Zhanji read the official documents for a while.Then he soaked in the hot spring for a while, and asked Liu Wan to read the official document to him.

When Liu Wan reads official documents, Li Liang helps him use seals, and he only needs to move his mouth.

However, after soaking for a while, he was hungry.The sweet potato porridge is not hungry, and he eats a lot, and he feels hungry immediately after soaking in the hot spring.

It is inconvenient for people to prepare supper at this time, so they can only sweep away the snacks that they usually don't eat.

After eating snacks, he was still only half full. Zhu Zhanji was about to go to bed when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

Zhu Zhanji has been paying attention to the apse, and when he heard footsteps, he immediately looked outside vigilantly.

He Chun's voice sounded outside. "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't look very well."

Liu Wan was about to change Zhu Zhanji's nightgown, but stopped at this moment, and immediately ordered the attendant to say, "Bring your highness the usual clothes when you go out."

With his upper body bare, Zhu Zhanji put on a bright yellow uniform. He didn't have time to fasten the hidden buttons, so he just tied his belt and strode out.

Liu Wan was carrying a pair of mille-soled cloth shoes, watching Zhu Zhanji stepping on a pair of buckskin flip flops, wanted to shout, but didn't dare to stop him, so he could only put the shoes behind Zhu Zhanji and go out Come.

"Your Highness is deliberately acting in front of other people again. It's too immodest not to wear a shirt. It's too late to change shoes now, and it can also show His Highness's anxiety and panic."

Thinking of this in his heart, Liu Wan was not in a hurry, handed the shoe to one of his apprentices, and said in a low voice: "You carry the shoe to the back, and when you see that almost everyone has come, bring the shoe in again. "

A eunuch who can gain a foothold in the palace, even a young eunuch, is a smart generation.Without Liu Wan pointing out why he did this, the little eunuch understood and dragged Zhu Zhanji's shoes behind.

In the apse, a group of servants stood against the wall, and only four imperial physicians and their assistants stood guard around Zhu Gaochi's hospital bed.

Zhu Gaochi's obese body was placed on a hard board on the bed, and a quilt was placed under his waist to make his stomach stand up high.

His body was covered with silver needles by the imperial physicians, and several recorders wrote down the rescue procedures one by one.
