"That's right, the insight is very unique, and I'm not afraid to let some of the courtiers in the court." The young emperor was very satisfied with the tall and straight boy in the court.

Now most of the court halls are old officials left behind by his father, and he can be regarded as the elder of the two dynasties.It's a pity that some people are a little carried away by virtue of their status, and dare to subtly oppress him, the king of a country.The eyes of the young emperor darkened unknowingly. It seemed that it was time for him to cultivate a group of courtiers who were completely loyal to him. These courtiers who still put their hearts on his father should also abdicate.

Being so appreciated by the emperor above the main hall, Zhou Yu didn't look proud and complacent, but became more respectful and arrogant.

He bowed and said, "Student thanked the emperor for his praise!"

Seeing Zhou Yu so calm, the emperor was even more satisfied.

However, above the main hall, there are always some courtiers who seem unwilling to follow the emperor's mind.

"The minister has something to report." The minister of the Ministry of Rites and Secretary Bingyi came out on the list.

Si Bingyi is an old minister of the late emperor, one of the most favored courtiers of the late emperor.

However, he was only the most favored courtier of the former emperor, and the young emperor sitting high in the palace today did not like him very much.Hearing his words, he frowned imperceptibly, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his eyes.This subtle expression failed to escape the eyes of the next Feng Wanzhan, but Feng Wanzhan did not show anything after all, and still stood there respectfully.

The emperor said without any ups and downs: "Please speak, Aiqing."

Si Bingyi raised her eyebrows, looked at Zhou Yu contemptuously, turned her head and said proudly: "My Majesty, the man in the palace, Zhou Yu, is indeed the son of a big local merchant."

"What, the son of a merchant?"

"It's a pity that this talent..."

"This background is really bad..."

"Businessmen value profits, how can the children they teach really know how to think about the people, and it is a blessing not to seek the people's fat and anointing..."

Zhou Yu's identity was pointed out in the hall, and there was a lot of whispering in the hall, even the young emperor who had always been optimistic about him, and wanted to point out that he would be the number one scholar, had a serious face.

The Jinshi in the court hall reacted differently, the happiest one was a Jinshi who was slightly inferior to Zhou Yu, who had been suppressed by him all the time.The Jinshi's face glowed with excitement when he heard these words, he is a son of a decent scholar family, although his father is not a high official, he is a Juren, and his mother is also from a scholar family, the daughter of a scholar.

The emperor above saw that Jinshi was so restless, and then looked at Zhou Yu who was still calm and calm even at this time, and he didn't panic at all, and felt more and more that he should be the number one scholar this year.However, this background is too bad after all, and it must be a drag on him.

Under the hall, Feng Youzhi was also standing in the current imperial examination team, he looked at Zhou Yu with a frown, and his expression was very bad.

He never expected that his father, who was so rigid and serious to the point of being pedantic, would even raise a son of a merchant with a low family background. What is that?

I was feeling aggrieved in my heart, when I suddenly saw his father bowing out, wanting to beg for mercy for the son of a merchant who committed a dangerous crime.In an instant, Feng Youzhi ground his teeth to creak.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to report."

Seeing that it was Feng Wanzhan who came out, the emperor's face softened slightly.Although Feng Wanzhan is a veteran of the two dynasties, he is a real emperor faction.When the former emperor was still alive, he was supported by him. Now that the former emperor is not here, the new emperor succeeds to the throne. There is no hint of arrogance at all because of his meritorious support. On the contrary, he is more cautious and strict.

When the once young emperor talked with Feng Wanzhan, he vaguely revealed that he didn't have to be so cautious.However, Feng Wanzhan said that because he is the emperor's confidant, he should be strict with himself, let alone spoil the emperor, cause trouble, and embarrass the emperor.These words made the emperor very happy, and he was rewarded immediately.

"Feng Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Feng Wanzhan said: "No. I suddenly remembered that in a certain year, it was also like this. Students from all over the world gathered together. I still remember that there was a student who performed particularly well that year and even won the emperor's absurd praise. The most impressive What's amazing is that his theory on the use of troops was more panic-stricken than many generals who were bathed in blood on the battlefield. It was only after the emperor asked him that he found out that those novel strategies were read from a study, and he was still transcribing them from that study. I wrote a copy and presented it to the emperor. And that book of war is still being taught by the Imperial College.”

The emperor seemed to recall that old incident, and sighed, "Yes."

The complexion of the chief of the palace, Bingyi, turned dark.

"Xueshi Feng said that this seems to have passed. Now is the time to test these ten-year-old students, not the time to gossip."

Feng Wanzhan ignored him, and said to himself: "I wonder if the Holy Majesty still remembers the name of the study that the champion at that time mentioned?"

The emperor had some vague impressions, and always felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't call it right for a while, and it seemed to be on his lips.

"What kind of reputation does it seem to be called?"

Feng Wanzhan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's Zhou Yu's study!"

"Zhou Yu's study!" The emperor murmured a few words, and suddenly smiled, looking at Zhou Yu with great interest. "Could it be that there is any connection between the study and this talented student in our palace?"

Feng Wanzhan: "Coincidentally, it's just one person."

"Oh?"

"Speaking of which, there is another story in Zhou Yu's study this week. After careful calculation, Zhou Yu should have been eight or nine years old at that time. His father sent him to study in a local private school. Zhou Yu saw that many students from poor families in the private school only Shu Xiu, who was studying, was very struggling to get it, let alone have spare money to buy other classics to study. So he was touched, and he told his father about the situation when he went home, and persuaded his father to build a study for free for students all over the world. Students, spread knowledge. His father was persuaded, so he really built such a study not for making money but for spreading knowledge, named Zhou Yu Study."

The emperor laughed, "It turns out that you persuaded your father to build that study. It is rare for you to have such a heart and righteousness at such a young age. At that time, you were only nine years old at most, and you were still a child. The courtiers in the court have much more foresight, I really feel ashamed for these courtiers!"

After hearing this, all the ministers in the hall apologized one after another.Those who know the fun should be done here, but the emcee just doesn't know the fun.

He even blatantly challenged him: "It's just a small matter, but Master Feng knows it so clearly. Could it be that he has some ulterior personal relationship with Zhou Yu!"

Feng Wanzhan was not annoyed, and said indifferently: "Is Si Shangshu so ignorant of the emperor? He even dared to forget that it was the emperor who marveled at such a great righteousness and made me go unannounced?"

The emcee's face turned terrified, and he knelt on the ground to plead guilty.The emperor didn't ask him to get up, but let him kneel coldly.

Feng Wanzhan said: "My Majesty, I dare not hide anything. I did know Zhou Yu. However, the people in the hall dare not speak privately, and we have to investigate carefully. This personal relationship between me and Zhou Yu is benefiting the Emperor. It was when the emperor sent a minister to pay close attention to him, and the minister got to know Zhou Yu who was still a child, marveled at the fact that he was only nine years old, yet he had the righteousness of the world in his heart, and took pity on his mind, that's why he often communicated with him afterwards , Give me one or two pointers."

The emperor waved his hand, "There is nothing to talk about. When I asked you to investigate, it is normal for the two of you to know each other. If you don't know each other, you will be suspicious."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your insight." Feng Wanzhan said again: "Your Majesty praised Zhou Yu's righteousness because of a study, but he didn't know that he did a more righteous thing."

"There is still more, tell me quickly!"

"The year Zhou Yu became a scholar, he went back to his hometown and opened a private school. The private school clearly stipulates that as long as the poverty meets certain conditions and the situation is true, all the training, even the cost of board and lodging will be exempted. This means that children from poor families You can study here for free. Later, in order to encourage students to study hard, a scholarship system was established, that is, all fees will be exempted for three years if they score the top three in the exam every six months, and a scholarship of two taels of silver will be given. This is for those poor families As far as the children are concerned, it is a great motivation to study, as long as they are diligent in their studies, they can make money for the family, and this also gives those poor children who worry about their livelihood a chance to study wholeheartedly."

"There is such a thing, Zhou Yuzhen underestimated you earlier."

Feng Wanzhan took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Your Majesty, these are not ten thousand. Zhou Yu's father also built two roads for their hometown! Presumably there must be reasons for Zhou Yu's persuasion. When I went to investigate, I heard many workers talking about Zhou Yu's work. Family benevolence and righteousness, workmanship is never harsh, and often get rewards other than wages. Such a variety of things, although they are merchants, they are not comparable to ordinary merchants. If there are more such righteous merchants in the world, why worry about learning and learning? Door!"

"Yes." The emperor sighed, and looking at Zhou Yu's eyes changed again, "Zhou Yu, you are righteous and benevolent. You have read poetry and books and are full of talent. You are really the pillar of my dynasty. Today, I have appointed you as the number one No.1, Household Department."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Ministry of Households is the economic lifeline of the dynasty, and it is a good job. No number one scholar can enter directly. At this moment, all the ministers know that Zhou Yu has won the emperor's sacred heart, and he is afraid that he will become a great success soon.

When it was time for the number one scholar to parade through the streets, many high officials all stared at Zhou Yu, intending to 'capture' him and go back to be his son-in-law.But in the end they were a step too late, and Feng Wanzhan snatched them back first.

"Congratulations to the champion!"

Zhou Yu thanked and said: "I also want to thank Uncle Feng for his help, otherwise I'm afraid I will lose this number one scholar."

"Haha, it's fine." Feng Wanzhan waved his hand and said, "By the way, did your family marry you?"

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, realizing some possibility and hurriedly said: "Although I haven't, but I really don't care about it, and my father also told me that once I am lucky enough to be named on the gold list, I must not make a private decision to marry, it is even more fateful." I will not be allowed to discuss marriage until I am 20 years old and have stabilized my mind."

Zhou Jing said that he was not allowed to marry until he was 20 years old. In later generations, men were only allowed to get marriage certificates when they were 22 years old. Zhou Jing felt that he was very tolerant.What's more, he thinks that premature appointment will hurt his health. When he said this to Zhou Yu in a serious manner, Zhou Yu blushed for the first time, completely understanding the reason why his grandmother secretly called his father a hooligan.

But when it comes to marriage, Zhou Yu really doesn't intend to be hasty.With his father and his aunt lovingly by his side, Zhou Yu will marry a congenial man in his life, whether it is a twin or a woman, as long as his father and aunt fall in love with each other.

"20 years old, is that too old?" Feng Wanzhan frowned.

"Father dare not disobey his orders, not to mention that I really have no plans to get married."

Feng Wanzhan knew that he was unwilling, so he stopped talking.After all, his Feng family's daughter was also lined up by others to marry her, and she didn't even force others to get married.

But Feng Youzhi, who was outside the window, had his nose twisted with anger. Although he knew from a few words that he had misunderstood the relationship between Zhou Yu and his father, he was even more angry that Zhou Yu dared to refuse the marriage.You must know that his little sister is a talented woman who is both talented and beautiful, and is famous all over the world.

Indignantly, Feng Youzhi contacted a few friends who were always in a relationship, and actually did the trick of blocking people in the middle of the night.

They put masks with two holes on their heads, blocking Zhou Yu in an alley.

Zhou Yu turned around calmly and said, "I don't know what you mean by this, how many people have you offended?"

Feng Youzhi pinched his nose and said: "Boy, you don't know what to say, and everyone's daughter rejects it. Today, Master Ben, I am here to teach you a lesson for others!"

He has been in the limelight recently, indeed many people have come to marry their daughters to him, and he has rejected quite a few.Originally, if someone was resentful and gave him money to teach him, he really couldn't guess who it was for a while, but it was my young master who dared to beat Zhuangyuan Lang in the street, Zhou Yu would know who it was even with his toe.

He winked at Wei Yuanshan who was secretly protecting him, signaling that he doesn't need to come out, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability."

Originally, Feng Youzhi thought that the three of them would join forces, and they would surely be able to catch this brat who didn't know what to do.Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu looked thin and thin, but he turned out to be a practitioner with extraordinary skills.The three-legged cat kung fu of his three is just a joke of the son of the aristocratic family, and it is too different from the way Zhou Yu learned to kill and save his life since he was a child.It was too easy for Zhou Yu to take care of the three, and it seemed as if the Arhats had stepped on them. Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Can you wait?"

Feng Youzhi was stepped on the top, which was the most humiliating. He refused to admit defeat, but Li Qiankun was a soft bone, and immediately shouted: "I have accepted it, and I will ask the champion of the current department to spare the villain and others. People don’t dare to wait any longer.”

With such a spineless appearance and fighting like others, Zhou Yu almost made him laugh, so he let them go.

Wei Yuanshan jumped off the wall after waiting for the others to go far away, and said cautiously, "Just let them go like this?"

"Don't worry about it, it's just a few spoiled sons and sisters in the family who are angry because they rejected him. There is no malice. You see, when they came here, they didn't even have a stick in their hands, and they were like others blocking the way and committing murder. So unprofessional."

These unprofessional gangsters walked home with bruised noses and swollen faces, yelling whoops as they walked.

"Li Qiankun, can you stop barking? It's pissing me off." Feng Youzhi was so ashamed and indignant to the extreme, "You said you are such a coward, you just got beaten up, and you even begged that kid for mercy, in order not to suffer He even calls himself a villain, but fortunately your father is Zuo Shilang, how can you say it out loud."

Li Qiankun rubbed the wound on his face, rolled his eyes, and said indifferently: "The pain of being beaten has nothing to do with whether my father is Zuo Shilang, can it be because my father is Zuo Shilang that I won't be hurt if I get beaten! Besides, have you ever heard that if you keep the green hills alive, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood, you should thank me, if I didn’t know the times and be a hero, you would still be beaten!”

Feng Youzhi was so angry that he flung his sleeves and left without even saying goodbye.

Li Qiankun snorted: "Heh, you are the son of a grand scholar, if you have the guts to go back and don't take medicine, don't say it hurts!"
