Dressed as the master of a sickly tyrant

Chapter 77

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed, and in the blink of an eye, Chunwei is ushered in.

In the February examination, Chu Haozhi won the Hui Yuan without any suspense, and then came the palace examination in March.

The imperial examination was held in the Golden Luan Hall, and seeing the emperor again, Chu Haozhi was indifferent.

The emperor is over half a hundred years old, but his eyes are still extremely sharp. He looked Chu Haozhi up and down, and then slowly opened his mouth and said:

"These three names of Chu Haozhi are very popular in Chang'an City now. When I saw them today, they really deserved their reputation."

"Your Majesty praises me, I'm just a fledgling scholar."

Chu Haozhi remained silent and humble.

"Successful three-yuan, is a rare talent.

It seems that the rumors are true. "

The emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty's benevolent minister will always remember it in his heart, and he is willing to do his best for His Majesty."

Chu Haozhi lowered his head, his face full of sincerity.

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Aiqing has five chariots of education, why don't you just be the gentleman of the Southwest King."

Then he said: "This child was once taught by the second son of Zhenbei Houfu, and he is not bad at leading the army.

But as a prince, he didn't want to spread his wings for the royal family, but he wanted to learn how to be that Lu family's Mochou, so he had to teach him well. "

Chu Haozhi responded without changing his expression: "I would like to obey the imperial decree."

The emperor murmured as if remembering something: "The second son of the Zhenbei Houfu is a talented general, unfortunately, he died young."

Chu Haozhi remained calm: "There are folk rumors that the young master of Zhenbeihou's mansion sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows to play games in the world. It seems that the rumors are not credible."

The emperor was thoughtful: "The tiger father has no dogs, after all, he is the descendant of the general.

Cang Ming was able to retake the city in the southwest battlefield because of his good teaching. "

Fortunately, such a person had been killed long ago, otherwise he might have taught him what kind of person he would be.

Looking at the emperor's expression, Chu Haozhi knew it all.

As soon as Chu Haozhi returned to the mansion, the emperor's imperial edict also arrived.

After receiving the order, Nan Cangming put his arms around the person in his arms and joked: "Going around and becoming my master again, isn't this the old spirit on the Sansheng Stone?"

Chu Haozhi glanced at Nan Cangming and said, "The emperor asked me to teach you to spread branches and leaves for the royal family, don't be an infatuated son in the storybook."

Nan Cangming mocked disdainfully: "If I really marry the daughters of the officials, I'm afraid he won't tolerate me long ago."

Chu Haozhi looked at him fixedly, the corner of his mouth slightly raised and said: "If you marry someone else, I will..."

"How about you?"

"Forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

We can't be friends after breaking up because we hurt each other.

You can't be enemies after breaking up, because you loved each other deeply.

So we can only forget each other in the rivers and lakes and be the most familiar strangers. "

Chu Haozhi talked casually while playing with his hair.

"Are all people in your world like this? So free and easy."

Nan Cangming said thoughtfully.

"In our era, both men and women had their own careers, no one depended on others to live, and naturally no one could not live without others.

Some people get married one day and get married the next day. "

"Is the master married there?" Nan Cangming asked cautiously.

"No, I was still studying at that time.

Haven't even talked about love. "

"What does it mean to be in love?"

"A relationship like the one we have now is a relationship for us."

"What does he mean by keeping Master here today?" Nan Cangming asked leisurely.

"Ask the government, ask me how to reform the bureaucracy.

Now that the court is controlled by aristocratic families, it is difficult for children from poor families to enter the center of power even if they pass the imperial examination. "

"I was also able to enter the power center because of the momentum.

The Qing Tanhui became famous in one fell swoop, and the three tricks in the bag were spread all over the world. In addition to the Sanyuan Jidi, the emperor appointed me to follow the trend. "

"Most of the children from poor families were sent to remote areas.

I may never be able to return to Beijing for the rest of my life. "

Nan Cangming pretended to be thinking, and sighed after a while.

"Actually, the reform of official administration is not to suppress the aristocratic family, but to strike a delicate balance between the aristocratic family and the poor.

Rather than a monopoly. "

Chu Haozhi analyzed slowly.

"The superior family background of the children of the aristocratic family enables them to have vision and tolerance that ordinary people can hardly match, while the children of the poor family have the tenacity and tenacity that the children of the aristocratic family do not have.

A good emperor should let children from poor families and children from aristocratic families complement each other. "

Chu Haozhi's eyes fell on Nan Cangming, and he raised his voice.

"Master thinks he is determined to reform?" Nan Cangming responded.

"As an emperor, of course he would.

But he pitied his feathers more.

Without a strong and decisive monarch, it is impossible to reform smoothly.

This is the law of history. "

Chu Haozhi's tone was cold, with a mocking expression on his face.

While the two were talking, the servants came to report that someone from the fourth prince's mansion had invited Mr. Chu and the prince to a banquet together.

Chu Haozhi was frequently praised by the emperor in the court recently, and he was in the limelight for a while.

Both the Fourth Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince are actively trying to draw him into their camp.

Chu Haozhi's lips curled up, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "If I really want to doze off, someone will hand me a pillow. I'm worried that I have nothing to do."

"Master, I... don't want you to go."

Nan Cangming's voice was somewhat jealous and unhappy.

Chu Haozhi knew the purpose of the four princes' banquet this time.

It's just that I want to take the opportunity to make more friends.

I shouldn't have interfered more, but as long as I think that there will be eyes from all directions falling on the master, or coveting, or admiring, Nan Cangming feels very uncomfortable in his heart.

No one can bear his lover being coveted, not to mention that he grew up in the cold palace since he was a child, and he lacks a sense of security.

"It's just a joke, let's go back early."

Chu Haozhi didn't bother to deal with this kind of thing at first, but as the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will win every battle.

Now that the fourth prince wants to win him over, if he doesn't take this opportunity to plot against him, it doesn't look like Chu Haozhi's vengeful personality at all.

Nan Cangming said dissatisfied: "The fourth prince's purpose towards Master is not pure."

Chu Haozhi didn't understand what impure purpose meant, so he said with a smile: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

He invited me naturally for a purpose. "

Seeing that Master didn't understand what he meant, Nan Cangming didn't say much, it would be better if Master didn't know.

He'll be there anyway.

A few years passed in a flash, and the two of them came to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and remembered the past, and couldn't help but smile.

Today, the scenery of the Fourth Prince's Mansion remains the same, even worse than before.

Seeing that the servants had informed Chu Haozhi of his arrival, the fourth prince immediately got up and went to greet him in person.

Everyone sat down in the garden, and the maids served the dishes one by one.

Today is the birthday of the fourth imperial concubine Chu Luoyun, and the fourth prince took this opportunity to invite Chu Haozhi and other princes over.

Chu Luoyun bowed profusely, showing the generosity of a lady.

As expected of being the first daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, her speech and demeanor made all the guests present feel like spring breeze.

The crown princess Wang Yanqin also has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and she does not suppress the limelight of the birthday star in the slightest.

Chu Haozhi was also in a daze for a while: Isn't the harem in the novel all fighting openly and secretly, why is it so harmonious here?

Chu Haozhi ate absent-mindedly, looking at everyone, always trying to find some clues.

Seeing that Chu Haozhi's gaze always swept over his side, the fourth prince couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Picking up the Songjiang perch in front of him, he said, "Try this."

A look of disappointment flashed across Chu Luoyun's face, and in a blink of an eye there was a smile again, and it was too late to notice it unless he looked carefully.

Chu Haozhi took a sip and said, "It's really good."

The fourth prince smiled slightly: "If Mr. Chu likes it, he can come here often in the future.

I feel that I hit it off with Mr. Chu, like an old friend whom I haven't seen for a long time. "

Isn't he just an old friend, Chu Haozhi sneered in his heart.

The prince also said leisurely: "Master Chu is indeed very similar to an old friend.

He is the young son of the Zhenbei Hou's mansion, with fresh clothes and angry horses, and the young master Chu just lacks his youthful spirit. "

Chu Haozhi frowned and remained silent.

The young Lang Lu Chiyuan is dead, and now there is only Chu Haozhi.

Nan Cangming and Chu Hao were separated by the sixth prince, so they could only watch from afar.

While everyone was enjoying the singing and dancing, Chu Haozhi lacked interest, and the fourth prince graciously handed over seasonal fruits.

Nan Cangming watched from afar, sulking alone.

At this time, the fourth imperial concubine Chu Luoyun walked over with small lotus steps and said softly: "Mr. Chu, can you take a step to speak?"

Chu Haozhi was slightly taken aback, he was not familiar with the Fourth Imperial Concubine, so why did he take a step to speak?

Could it be that this daughter of the prime minister's mansion thinks that she, a weak woman, can do anything to herself?In this way, if he didn't go, he would appear to be at a disadvantage.

Chu Haozhi smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

Following the fourth imperial concubine Chu Luoyun to the door of the study, Chu Haozhi stopped and hesitated a bit: "This is the study of the Fourth Highness, is it appropriate for me to go in?"

Chu Luoyun smiled and said: "No problem, Mr. Chu can come in without worry."

As he spoke, he came to the bookshelf, randomly took out a painting from the vase full of scrolls and handed it to Chu Haozhi, motioning him to open it.

Chu Haozhi didn't know why, so he slowly unfolded the painting in doubt, and Chu Luoyun stared closely at his face.

Following Chu Haozhi's movements, the scroll unfolded slowly. On the painting was a young man wearing a moon-white robe, which seemed inexplicably familiar to him.

A bad thought flashed in Chu Haozhi's heart, but his face remained calm.

As the scroll was pushed to the end, the person in the painting was indeed Lu Chiyuan six years ago.

Lu Chiyuan in the painting is admiring the flowers in the imperial garden, dressed in white under the peach blossom tree, like a fairy.

A trace of loneliness flashed across Chu Luoyun's expression, and he said, "The same person is painted on the scrolls in the vase.

I thought that even though I couldn't compare to that Yaochi Xian'e, I could be regarded as the first among the daughters of the capital, but I never thought that I couldn't compare to a man. "

Then he forced a smile: "I also don't want to argue with a dead person, and lose the demeanor of the daughter of the prime minister's mansion.

But you make me feel flustered. "

Nan Cangming followed behind the door to watch this scene, burning with anger, he had known for a long time that the fourth prince had no good intentions, and it turned out that it had been planned for a long time.
