Everyone, especially Qian Qianyi, was also looking at Zhu Xu, wanting to see how he would respond.

Chapter 100

Zhu Xu fumbled for the teacup in his hand, feeling very worried, the weather was very hot, and the tea was also very hot, so he had no place to drink.

He couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the servant who brought the tea, his eyes were dissatisfied, he is really an ignorant servant, can't he bring some herbal tea?

Li Jinyan looked at the little boy Zhu Xu, and sneered from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to see if His Royal Highness King Hui, who could dominate in the capital, could stretch his hand so long!

Even in this capital city, what can Zhu Xu do with him? !

Zhu Xu couldn't drink tea, so he could only dry his throat. Looking at Li Jinyan, he thought for a while and said, "I heard that your Li family has tens of millions of dollars. Is it true?"

Li Jinyan frowned, and said: "The rumors are exaggerated, Your Highness can't believe it."

Zhu Xu looked curious and said, "You can't believe it all? To be honest, I also like money. Can you tell me how you earn it? Can you take me for a while?"

Li Jinyan's face turned cold. The officials of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the extremely noble Hanlin, or the princes in the court, all hated things that smelled like copper. Although their family assets were in the tens of millions, but These are never discussed publicly.

The more upright the official, the lower the humble.

Li Jinyan just said that their family is very noble, so naturally he can't say that again, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, and he said with a little sarcasm: "These are all from the ancestors' family management, and they are not from the humble family."

Zhu Xu nodded, and said: "It makes sense, the ancestors can die early, and let the grandson enjoy the blessing."

Li Jinyan's expression was not very good, he raised his hand to Zhu Xu lightly and said, "Your Highness laughed."

Zhu Xu waved his hands again and again, and said, "Neither cheap nor cheap, you are still cheap."

Li Jinyan was secretly angry. This His Royal Highness Hui Wang has no dignity. Not only is he so obsessed with copper-smelling things, but he is also like a hob, skinless and shameless. He immediately snorted and was about to ridicule again. Interrupting him, he bowed slightly to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Highness must have some orders here, so you might as well say it bluntly, I will definitely do everything I can."

Zhu Xu turned to Qian Qianyi and looked at it for a long time, until Qian Qianyi's face became tense before he said, "I heard that Master Qian is coming back?"

Qian Qianyi was stunned, but immediately said: "The official came to Beijing this time to give lectures upon invitation."

Old fox!

Zhu Xu glanced at his mouth secretly, and said again: "That's right, Hanlin officials are everywhere now, and there are not a few who want to participate in the compilation of "Shenzong Veritable Records", and you are not the only one."

The Hanlin is noble, and the more noble, the higher the status. Similarly, the more afraid of being looked down upon by others.

But Qian Qianyi just looked embarrassed, and didn't answer any more.

If he didn't answer, it didn't mean that Zhu Xu would let him go. He groped for the teacup, and when it was almost cold, he picked it up and took a sip. He said leisurely, "Since the 30th year of Wanli, water transportation has been losing money every year. The subsidy from the court There are more and more, Lord Qian, if you have a way to solve this problem, this king can guarantee you and recommend you a servant of the Six Departments!"

Qian Qianyi's eyes changed slightly in an instant. He was just an editor of Hanlin before, and he resigned in a hurry because he was afraid of Wei Zhongxian. According to his qualifications, he would have to wait at least five to ten years to take up the position of servant.

But as soon as Zhu Xu's words fell, Li Jinyan stood up again and said coldly: "His Royal Highness, you can't speak nonsense without evidence. The elders of the court have already made a conclusion about the water transportation, and these years have also There has never been a major flaw, so His Highness may not justify accusing the second-rank officials of the imperial court for no reason?"

He pointed to the second-rank member of the imperial court, Li Sancai, the governor of water transportation who had just passed away.

Zhu Xu looked at him, blinked his eyes, and then turned to Qian Qianyi and said, "So, then, does Lord Qian want to become an official?"

Li Jinyan was ignored by Zhu Xu, and his expression turned gloomy.

Qian Qianyi's face was simple and honest, he couldn't see any expression, but his heart was terribly conflicted.

This is where I shouted everywhere, I was recommended by others, I was recruited by the court, I pretended to shirk, and then I happily took up the post.

But His Royal Highness Hui Wang asked so grandly, if he was modest and refused to be an official, and then spread out, then his trip to the capital would really be in vain.

There was no expression on his fat face, but his eyes were sizing up Zhu Xu carefully. How could an ordinary child be able to grasp the words so firmly among such a group of people.

Qian Qianyi pondered Zhu Xu's purpose, and said with a calm smile on his face: "The lower officials are here only to give lectures. If the imperial court needs them, they will be recruited, and the lower officials will not dare to shirk, and have the courage to go to the post."

They are really thick-skinned.

Zhu Xu sighed inwardly, looked at Li Jinyan again, smiled wider, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Xu waved his fan, thinking that he was very unrestrained and calm, and really left.

It wasn't until Zhu Xu left the yard that a group of people came to their senses.

Li Jinyan was the most puzzled, stepped forward and raised his hand to Qian Qianyi and said, "My lord, what can you see?"

Qian Qianyi was also frowning at this moment, His Royal Highness Hui came down and left in a hurry, his words were rambling, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart at all.

Qian Qianyi didn't say anything, but the group of people below became more and more uneasy.

The deeds of His Royal Highness Hui Wang in the past were too terrible for them to ignore.

Qian Qianyi also saw what everyone was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, everyone. His Royal Highness King Hui is still young, and his sexual behavior is out of character. Don't worry, let's continue to teach."

Listening to Qian Qianyi's words, a group of people felt somewhat comforted.Thinking about it more carefully, it seemed that there was indeed no reason to be caught, so he sat down again with a little apprehension.

Qian Qianyi resumed the topic just now, his voice was neither slow nor slow, gentle and dignified.

The people listening below also had calm expressions, shaking their heads with a look of great gain.

Everything was the same as before, as if Zhu Xu had never been here.

Zhu Xu and Fu Tao went out of the courtyard, got into the carriage, and walked a certain distance, Fu Tao still couldn't help saying: "Your Highness, what is the purpose of our trip?"

Naturally, he could also see that Zhu Xu didn't come to find the enlightenment teacher at all.

Zhu Xu shook his fan and said with a secretive smile, "Eat Guoguo in a row."

Fu Tao couldn't figure out Zhu Xu's words at all, so he had to ask again: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Zhu Xu was in a good mood when he saw mountains of gold and silver, and explained: "If you want to take advantage, you have to take a position first. Only when you have a good position, when the time comes to share the benefits, you will get them. Moreover, the better the position Well, the more benefits you get."

Fu Tao was pondering Zhu Xu's words, suddenly startled in his heart, and lost his voice: "Your Highness, are you going to fight against Cao?"

Zhu Xu put his index finger on his lips and hissed.

Chapter 101

Fu Tao looked anxious, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you must not touch this. I heard from my father that there was a lot of quarrel in the court over the position of the Governor of Water Transport. It has not been settled for several months. You have to get involved in this. It will be the target of public criticism!"

Zhu Xu nodded, with a look that I knew, and said: "The adults are all dedicated to the country, and I will not add trouble."

Fu Tao didn't care about the truth and falsehood in Zhu Xu's words, and frowned, burning with anxiety.He knew that he could not persuade His Royal Highness Hui Wang, so he thought he had to go back and inform his father as soon as possible.Otherwise, His Royal Highness Prince Hui rushed into the quagmire of water transportation so recklessly, and something big would happen.

Before Fu Tao went back to find Fu Changzong, the carriage stopped in front of a small teahouse.

As soon as he stopped, Luo Yangxing, who was dressed in casual clothes, came out from inside, stood in front of the window and said: "Your Majesty Luo Yangxing, I have met Your Highness."

Zhu Xu smiled at Fu Tao and said, "I'll show you a good show." Then he said to the window, "Come on."
