How to make a famous minister

Chapter 16

Naturally, Fan Jingwen wanted to ask them how they got along with His Highness Xin Wang. Fan Xuanchao didn't think that Fan Jingwen would blame him for this, and he couldn't hide it, so he simply said it.

After Fan Jingwen finished speaking, he glanced at him with a half-smile, "You are so courageous. When others see princes and grandchildren, who are not afraid of making mistakes? You are the only one. If you are not afraid, you are still careless. .”

Fan Xuanchao chuckled, thinking to himself that it was a good thing he didn't tell Fan Jingwen that he was spying on Xinwang and was discovered.

"Forget it, since His Royal Highness Xin Wang didn't get upset on the spot, he probably won't bother you later." Fan Jingwen said, "I heard that His Highness Xin Wang is sensitive, studious, modest and polite. I saw you today, and that's true. Maybe you will Being dumbfounded in front of King Xin shows his face instead. This is not a bad thing. As for Brother Ji’s words, even though they are not that serious, you should keep in mind that there is no net for talking all day long. The most fearful thing is that disaster will come out of your mouth!”

Fan Xuanchao responded one by one, and Fan Jingwen was satisfied.Back in the mansion, Fan Jingwen went to talk to Mrs. Zhang.Fan Xuanchao asked Jinglou to show Mr. Chen his homework in the Imperial College, and when he came back, he happened to ask Mr. Chen for advice.

Fan Xuanchao took a day off, so he didn't have to go back to the Imperial College at night, and set off early the next morning.

Fan Xuanchao left early to study at the Imperial College, and Zhu Youjian in the palace couldn't sleep through most of the day.The education method of the princes in the Ming Dynasty was completely opposite to that of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty.The princes of the Ming Dynasty went to school late, and the good ones didn’t start to read until they were six years old, and they didn’t go to school until they were in their teens.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all wonderful, and they were probably related to education.

But Zhu Youjian was different. He liked to read by nature. When he was a child who could not read much, he often asked the little eunuch who could read to read to him.If the little eunuch's voice is quiet, he will reprimand him.

After rebirth, Zhu Youjian no longer needed the little eunuch to read to him, he read and endorsed by himself.He often went to pay his respects to the emperor brother who had a normal relationship. Emperor Tianqi was also willing to contact his only brother. Gradually, the relationship between the two became better.

Zhu Youjian begged Emperor Tianqi to find a teacher for him again, but Emperor Tianqi didn't care. He didn't like reading, but he also knew that reading was a good thing, so there was no reason to stop him.Therefore, Emperor Tianqi sent several Hanlin scholars, Hongru who had read poetry and books, to teach Zhu Youjian.

Although Zhu Youjian did not get the golden finger of memory like Fan Xuanchao, he has a lot of insights into the homework of the masters based on his 17 years of experience as an emperor.Over time, it spread the reputation of being sensitive and studious.

He is only 11 years old, and he is the only younger brother of Emperor Tianqi who has not yet given birth to a son. Apart from improving his own strength, he cannot interfere in the affairs of the country anyway.As soon as he moved, so many people stared at him, trying to give him an evil intention.

Thinking of these bad things, Zhu You couldn't read the book anymore, and heaved a long sigh.Seeing this, Cao Jin, the eunuch serving personally, asked, "Why is Your Highness sighing?"

Zhu Youjian rubbed his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "There's nothing to do."

Seeing Hou Jin grow and grow day by day, seeing Wei Zhongxian step by step into chaos and chaos, seeing the great Ming Dynasty declining, the years are numbered, countless thoughts, countless ambitions, countless resentments, countless unwillingnesses in his heart and those who want to be together. To show shame, to prove that my urgency can't be realized, I can only be trapped in this deep palace and can't move, isn't it just "nothing to do"?

It's just that Cao Jin didn't know anything about it. He smiled and said, "In half an hour, Lin Shidu will be here, and I have something to do then."

Zhu Youjian didn't answer, so Cao Jin had to keep silent.

This Highness is good at everything, but sometimes he often says some inexplicable and specious things, such as now.Every time he answered His Highness, he didn't know which one would make His Highness happy and which one would make His Highness angry. His mind was really unpredictable.However, although His Royal Highness Xin Wang is unpredictable, he has a good temper and rarely punishes him.If they were assigned to serve the Ke family, they would be frightened and treading on eggshells.

To do things in the hands of His Royal Highness Xin Wang, you only need to remember eight words: be loyal, talk less and do more.

Zhu Youjian didn't care about the thoughts of the eunuchs who served him. Even if he was reborn, he was still a proud son of heaven who enjoyed the birth of a prince and had the posthumous title of emperor.

For the attitude of eunuchs and maids, Zhu Youjian only asked for loyalty and ability, and for those who were not loyal, no matter how capable they were, Zhu Youjian would not keep any of them - from the Ming Dynasty to now, what else is there except for the large number of people?If you don’t do it, someone will do it. If you are worth two, then I will replace you with two people. If you are worth three, then I will replace you with three people.Unless you're super talented, they're all replaceable parts.

For example, Xu Yingyuan, who served him for more than ten years in his previous life, was driven away after saying a word for Wei Zhongxian. Even in this life, Zhu Youjian did not use him, and replaced him with the timid and loyal Cao Jin.

Regardless of those bad things, Zhu Youjian turned to think about the recent happy things, and unexpectedly thought of Fan Xuanchao.In fact, Zhu Youjian couldn't describe Fan Xuanchao's face in detail.But his unconcerned smile and the relaxed atmosphere of being with him can burst into his chest at once, making people laugh involuntarily.

That's a wonderful person, it's better to make friends with him.

Fan Xuanchao didn't know that he was being missed.He arrived at the Guozijian early in the morning, just in time for the morning reading of the Guozijian.Fan Xuanchao sat down in his seat, and Ni Houzhan, who was sitting behind him, poked him and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here so late?"

Without looking back, Fan Xuanchao leaned against Ni Houzhan's desk, pretending to look for something, and said, "My family lives so far away, so naturally I have to slow down."

Ni Houzhan just asked casually, "I'm going to sleep. I got up early this morning, and I'm so sleepy." Fan Xuanchao could only hear his voice getting smaller and smaller, until it sounded like a mosquito in the end, knowing that he was already asleep. He fell asleep, smiled, took out the book and read it pretendingly.But he was also sleepy, and when he was reading books buzzing around him, it was an excellent lullaby. It didn't take long for him to become confused, and his head dozed off bit by bit.

Fan Xuanchao, who was half asleep and half awake, seemed to see Lin Sicheng give him a nonchalant glance, and immediately regained his energy. He raised the volume and read it aloud, causing other people to look sideways.

Ni Houzhan was also woken up, and he poked Fan Xuanchao violently with the top of the writing brush. Fan Xuanchao felt that his place would be green tomorrow.

"What are you doing, it's so noisy."

Fan Xuanchao took the time to reply: "Lin Sicheng is looking at this." Ni Houzhan also felt refreshed after hearing this, so he puffed up his chest, picked up the book, and read aloud.

Only then was Lin Sicheng satisfied, the little bastard just didn't deserve discipline, so he went to see other students.

The morning reading is over, and there is still some time before class, so it is arranged to have breakfast.Fan Xuanchao and Ni Houzhan walked together, and were talking about meeting Xin Wang Zhu Youjian yesterday, when they suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Fan Xiandi, Ni Xiandi."

Fan Xuanchao turned his head, Ni Houzhan rolled his eyes and turned his head.

It turned out that it was Lu Wanling and Zhu Jie, who were also classmates.The four greeted Li with smiles on their faces, and exchanged pleasantries with food and drink.Only then did Lu Wanling ask the original intention: "Fan Xiandi and Ni Xiandi went to the British government yesterday to celebrate their birthday. It was so lively. Brother Zhu and I were very curious. Fan Xiandi was neither willing to take us to open our eyes, nor to help deliver our gifts For the old matriarch, the two of us can only listen to it here, and have a good time."

Both Lu Wanling and Zhu Jie were recommended by various prefectures' annual examinations, and their studies are good, but they are not honest, they only want to find ways to make money all day long, Fan Xuanchao and Ni Houzhan don't think much of them.

Although Fan Xuanchao is only the son of a British concubine's younger sister, he also has half a foot in the Imperial College, who can barely be regarded as a first-class family member. Since he came to the Imperial College, some people have dismissed him, some have been polite to him, and some Be courteous to him.Those who dismissed him were mostly because he was both the nephew of the British government and the youngest case chief. After observing for a period of time, they found that he was indeed well-educated, and this dispelled their hostility.And those who were so attentive to him got another point of flattering.

This Lu Wanling belongs to the kind who treats him with contempt in his heart but treats him attentively.Two days ago, I heard that Fan Xuanchao was going to ask for a day off because of the birthday of the old lady of the British government. He even came to tell him that he admired the bravery of the British government, his loyalty and patriotism, and wanted to ask Fan Xuanchao to set up a line. If there is an opportunity, take him to meet the British Duke.

Fan Xuanchao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he pushed it away with a few words, and Lu Wanling said that although he couldn't see Ying Yinggong, please ask Fan Xuanchao to take the birthday gift he prepared for the old lady.Fan Xuanchao didn't expect that he even prepared a birthday gift, but he didn't dare to bring a birthday gift to an unrelated person for nothing, and it was difficult to take the birthday gift and not give it away, so he hesitated and prevaricated.

Now, Lu Wanling was angry and came to stab him a few words, Fan Xuanchao answered with a wry smile, too lazy to argue with him.

But Fan Xuanchao was too lazy to care about it, Ni Houzhan didn't have such a good temper, he just opened his mouth and talked about how the British government was so magnificent, how the guests who came to pay birthday respects were high and powerful, how the British government was respectful to the corporal, and it was also a pleasant scene for him, a shadow supervisor. The description made Lu Wanling and Zhu Jie jealous.

Finally, Ni Houzhan said: "It's nothing, His Royal Highness Xin Wang personally came to give gifts to the old matriarch yesterday, and the old matriarch asked the three sons of the British government to receive me and Xuanchao together, and chat with His Royal Highness Xin Wang. We had a good conversation all afternoon."

This is not at the level of jealousy or jealousy, it's blatant hatred.Fan Xuanchao felt that the atmosphere around him was not good, so he quickly turned a blind eye, and dragged Ni Houzhan away quickly.

Lu Wanling looked at the backs of Fan Xuanchao and Ni Houzhan as they walked away, and sighed: "It's a pity that this is a good opportunity. I heard that King Xin and His Majesty are brothers and sisters. If you get the eye of King Xin this time, if you will be in front of His Majesty in the future Mention, the two of us will become prosperous, just around the corner."

Zhu Jie sneered and said: "It's not that Fan Xuanchao, the villain blocked the way and didn't take us there, so did Ni Houzhan. They just cast a good tire, it's nothing!"

Lu Wanling thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Fan Xuanchao pulled Ni Houzhan away, feeling that Lu Wanling and Zhu Jie couldn't hear him, so he said, "What are you talking to them about? It's useless to stimulate him. It's not that you don't know, they think that we people have nothing but reincarnation. Will not."

"If you have the ability to make them have a good pregnancy." Ni Houzhan said, "If you don't say anything else, just say that my grandfather and my father went to Beijing to rush for the exam with bran swallowed vegetables, and there was nothing like them."

Fan Xuanchao thought about it, the matter of character really has nothing to do with family background, so he ignored their thoughts.
