Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 198

[198. Chapter Nineteen]

This is the blatant destruction of the corpse by the anti-theft chapter.

Zhu Minda was so enraged that he shouted, “Bring a knife!” The door of the hall opened in response, and the servant knelt down and presented a knife. Zhu Minda pointed at Zhu Nanxian and said, “Cut his stomach open for Ben Gong!

” As soon as he fell, Zhu Shiqi fell to his knees with his legs trembling, clinging to Zhu Minda’s hand and crying, “Brother Huang, if you want to punish me, punish me. Brother Thirteen did this for me!”

Zhu Nan Xian was stunned, looked at him silently, and said in his heart, Brother Huang, you think too much, this Brother Huang is really not doing it for you.

Juminda has a very headache. These two brothers grew up beside him, one kneeling and the other making trouble, what kind of manners do they have?

At present, the seven kings are becoming more and more powerful, and the previous case of water transportation has been handled very beautifully. There is a hidden reputation as a virtuous king in the outside world, and even the father and emperor are quite valued.

Although the ancestral rule is that there are direct descendants and no direct descendants, but Emperor Jing Yuan implemented the vassal system, and each crown prince was extraordinary in strength, and the Huaixi area of the Seven Kings was the place where the father rose to power, which implies. , without further ado.

Juminda was looking forward to his two younger brothers being his right-hand man.

At the age of 13, he has been advocating martial arts since he was a child, saying that his father’s country was beaten from horseback, and he was slightly negligent in literary talent.

However, the seventeen and fourteen are not diligent, the grains are not divided, the writing cannot be written, the martial arts cannot be mounted, and the living waste snacks.

Zhu Minda didn’t bother to care about these two useless people, but turned around and gave Liu Chaoming a nod, saying, “Lord Censor will laugh.”

Liu Chaoming returned with a salute.

Zhu Minda looked at the person kneeling on the ground again, suddenly remembered something, and asked, “Your surname is Su? Have you ever been a jinshi?”

Su Jin buried his head and said, “Returning to His Royal Highness, Wei Chen is the kindness of Jingyuan in the eighteenth year. Cochin Scholar.”

Zhu Minda gave a “uh” and said again: “You raise your face.”

Zhu Minda was a prince, and he saw many good-looking people, a charming concubine, a gentle and elegant little student.

What do you say about this face that comes into view?

There is a clear air between the eyebrows, which can make people ignore the originally very elegant facial features.

In addition to the temperament, what is more attractive is the pair of eyes, as if there is a burning fire hidden in the bright eyes.

Zhu Minda remembered a sentence, full of poetry and literature, but unfortunately, it was three more desolate.

Zhu Minda asked Zhu Nanxian, “Before you went to the Northwest Guard, you mentioned that you wanted a jinshi to serve as your attendant and teach you knowledge, but he is the one?”

Zhu Nanxian said, but it was not.

But when the words came to his mouth, he hesitated again, as if someone had suddenly broken his mind, and the thief said with a guilty conscience: “Da, maybe so.”

Zhu Minda snorted coldly when he saw his unpromising appearance, and asked Yan Ziyan again. : “I asked you to go to Governor Su to write the original of the policy theory, can you find it?”

Yan Ziyan knew that the policy theory was originally on Liu Chaoming, but said: “Return to Your Highness, I haven’t.”

Zhu Minda thought for a while, He asked Liu Chaoming again: “I heard that Governor Su was brought to Zhan Shifu by Lord Censor?”

Liu Chaoming said yes.

Zhu Minda said: “What did the Supreme Court find out, did the Censor bring him here to ask him the crime?”

Liu Chaoming was silent for a while, and said, “It is true that Governor Su helped His Highness the Seventeenth Highness to write policies on behalf of him. I only came here to ask, but unfortunately there is no evidence.”

After hearing this, Zhu Minda gave Su Jin a thoughtful look, and said, “Since the Imperial Censor has asked about this matter, this palace is 10,000 relieved. This matter will be handed over to the Supreme Court, what Mr. Liu finds out, and how should he be punished, there is no need to come back to this palace.”

Instead of dealing with an eighth-rank petty official, it is better to sell the court’s affection.

Zhu Minda is a smart person, and just when Liu Chaoming said “Unfortunately there is no evidence”, he guessed that Liu Yushi was determined to protect Governor Su.

It is also strange, Liu Yun has been admitted to the Metropolitan Court since the age of nineteen. After six years, he has been holding an almost indifferent and fair attitude, and he has never seen him open to anyone.

But it’s okay, right now he and the old seven are like fire and water. The two younger brothers are simple-minded waste materials. If they can win the favor of the Metropolitan Court by this, it goes without saying that they support, even if it is a little bit biased, it will be a big deal in the situation. beneficial.

Thinking of this, Zhu Minda immediately bowed to Liu Chaoming again, and said, “Lord Kuai Liu.” He ignored the two His Royal Highnesses who were still kneeling on the ground, and turned to leave.

When all the officials and guards withdrew with His Royal Highness, Zhu Nanxian patted his knee before going to help Su Jin. Liu Chaoming said coldly, “Governor Su, get up.”

Zhu Nanxian said in a cold voice. His hands froze in the air, then, he moved a foot to the right and picked up Yan Ziyan.

Zhu Shiqi got up from the ground and sat on the chair beside him, still crying, Zhu Nanxian looked at him with disgust, turned to ask Liu Chaoming: “Master Liu, then this is a ghost writer. One thing— ”

Liu Chaoming silently took out a secret letter from his arms, placed it on the lampstand where he had just started his career, and burned it.

The people in the hall stared at this scene dumbfounded, thinking about it and didn’t fully understand, is this something done by the censor of Zuodu?

Liu Chaoming said: “This matter is over, no need to mention it again.”

Yan Ziyan realized that Liu Chaoming was about to burn the evidence, not only helped Su Jin, but also helped himself, who had just burned the policy, and immediately bowed: “Thank you, Lord Liu, Hanlin’s subordinate will say hello, and there will be no more rumors.” After a pause, he added: “It’s just, the Seventeenth Highness…”

Zhu Nanxian immediately understood, and stretched out his feet to plan the seventeen’s legs. : “Hey, what about you, did you find someone who didn’t have long eyes to stab things out?”

Zhu Shiqi sobbed and said, “I have asked the little Marquis twice in total. He helped the person I was looking for to write it for me. If something went wrong, he would naturally ask him to find

a way.” Su Jin understood as soon as he said this.

Yan Ziyan showed her “Qing Silk Notes” to His Royal Highness, but Zhu Shiqi said that he recognized her handwriting, which aroused Zhu Minda’s suspicion. In panic, Zhu Shiqi came to Ren Xuan. Ren Xuan was afraid of getting burned, so he had to sell Su Jin and submit her original strategy to the Ministry of Punishment. But he was afraid of asking people to find out the clues, so he came to Yingtianfu to let Su Jin escape.

Then just now Yan Ziyan said that on the day when the official made trouble, when she was born and died, it was Ren Xuan who hid in the teahouse among the trembling officers.

Thinking of this, Su Jin didn’t feel disappointed or angry.

All living beings are in different forms, and the world is all living for themselves. Naturally, some people forget the meaning of the word for the sake of the word.

This experience, even if I teach myself a lesson, most of the people who know each other and can be called brothers just for a little benefit are not worthy of deep friendship.

Be fearful and stay away.

Zhu Shiqi originally thought that he was going to be hit with a stick this time, but he didn’t want to write it on his behalf and ended up like this. He was overjoyed and still a little bit undecided, he grabbed Zhu Nanxian’s arm and said, “Ten Third brother, I can understand it. You are the only one who treats me the best in this palace. You risked being cut open this time, and you helped me with the first emperor’s training. Next time, I will also Stop the knife for you!”

Zhu Nanxian looked at him speechlessly, raised his hand and pulled him off his arm, and said, “You, come here, this emperor has a few words from the bottom of his heart, don’t spit it out.”

Said Then, he put his hands behind his back, strode to the outside of the hall under an elm tree, and said to Zhu Shiqi, who followed Dian Dian: “Seventeen, you are thinking too much. This emperor’s righteousness and bravery is not a matter of fact. For your sake, and the first emperor did not punish you for this, this emperor is very sorry. This emperor has something to tell you, next time you write an article, I don’t care if you ask me to write it on your behalf, if you dare to ask Governor Su again , beware of the emperor, I will break your legs!”

Zhu Shiqi was struck by five thunders, and his big eyes flickered and blinked, and tears filled his eyelashes instantly.

Fortunately, Zhu Nanxian ordered his servant to drag him away before he cried again.

The matter was over, Yan Ziyan was the first to retire and went to the Hanlin Academy to deal with the aftermath.

Liu Chaoming bowed to Zhu Nanxian from afar, and wanted to go back to the Metropolitan Court. Su Jin followed behind him and said softly, “Thank you

, sir.” Thank you.”

It was almost night, the wind was about to rise, Su Jin looked around, only to see the palace, the pavilion and the terrace, but not the mountains and rivers.

She said, “The mountains are green, and the rivers are turbulent. Your kindness will never be forgotten by the lower officials.”

There was a clump of weeds in the corner of the garden.

Liu Chaoming looked at the clump of weeds as tough as silk, and suddenly remembered the entrustment of the old imperial censor. He felt ashamed, and for a while he wondered how Su Jin got here after being seriously injured and sent to Songshan County.

With his back to Su Jin, he couldn’t help but say: “Su Shiyu, this official has something to ask you.”

Su Jin said: “Sir, please say it.”

Liu Chaoming said: “You wish…” Before

he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped. He stopped, because he heard someone behind him hesitantly and caressed, and asked calmly, “Is Governor Su’s injury better?”

This inaudible sigh made Zhu Nan feel envious. The hand holding the reins tightened, and he could even imagine the expression on Su Jin’s face when he said this – she must be very tired, leaning against the wall of the car, closing her eyes wearily, her brows were fading.

Zhu Nanxian clearly remembers that Su Jin five years ago was not like this.

At that time, the Northwest Guard was going to send an additional commander.

At that time, Emperor Jingyuan contracted a disease, and all matters large and small were criticized by Zhu Minda on his behalf.

When Zhu Nanxian’s book was handed over to the emperor’s case, Zhu Minda threw it back, and scolded him for “do your best to be a reckless husband”, which made him think behind closed doors for seven days.

At that time, Zhu Nanxian had a temperament that he would not look back when he broke through the southern wall.

He silently collected the book and returned to the palace. Not only did he close the door, but he also refused food and water. For five days, he did not run out of rice until Juminda ordered someone to slam the door open and saw the half-dead man with cracked lips. The younger brother who grinned at him as if he was victorious.

Juminda wished he couldn’t kick him to death.

After all, he grew up with him, Zhu Minda knew that the old thirteen was soft and not hard, and then he thought about it again, and persuaded him emotionally, to the effect: “It’s not the emperor, I won’t let you go, But as a child of heaven, you don’t have any strategy in your heart, you can only dance with swords and swords, wouldn’t you make people laugh?”

Then he sent a letter to Zhu Nanxian, saying, “In this way, this emperor will give you a chance. , I have a pair here, within three days, as long as you can match ten different second couplets, proving that you have some ink in your stomach, this emperor will approve your letter of order.”

Zhu Nanxian’s mind is very simple. The pair Zuo in his impression was nothing more than “the mountains end in the daytime, and the Yellow River flows into the ocean”, so what’s the difficulty in having to match ten sentences?

It wasn’t until he opened Juminda’s letter that he knew that he was in the scheme –

a cup of tea to quench his thirst.

Zhu Nanxian frowned and thought deeply, what the hell is this?

At that time, Zhu Shisan had not yet opened the yamen and built a mansion, and still lived in the East Palace with Zhu Minda.

Within two days, he took his pair and asked for advice all over the Zhanshi Mansion, Wenhua Pavilion, and even the maids up and down the East Palace, and even put the knife on the neck of the little fireman, and the little fireman just knelt down tremblingly. , replied him tremblingly: “Your Highness, Your Highness, the slaves are illiterate…”

Zhu Nanxian knew that he was following Zhu Minda’s way, presumably Zhu Minda had already known everyone, and he was not allowed to help His Highness the Thirteenth. .

So he sat at the door of the Zhanshifu and thought gloomily, in this palace, can we find a piece of pure land?

At that time, he heard two Chunfang officials talking about poetry and prose not far away, and they mentioned tomorrow’s poetry ceremony.

Zhu Nanxian had an epiphany in his mind and stepped forward to find out what the poetry ceremony was.

It turned out that this was a semi-annual event held by the Hanlin Academy for the exchange of talents and learning between universities and civil servants. And tomorrow’s Poetry Ceremony, the new scholars who entered the Hanlin in March will also go.

Zhu Nanxian thought that this was a God-given opportunity.

He dealt with Hanlin on weekdays, and the old pedants who went around had long been accustomed to seeing Zhu Minda’s face, but the new jinshi were different. If he found a fish that slipped through the net and made a match for him, he would go to the Northwest Guard Institute. Hopeful.

The next day, Zhu Nanxian slipped to the poetry ceremony in Hanlin Wenyuan.

He is the prince, and many people in the palace recognize him, so he did not get together in the Wenyuan, where Wen Si was flying and flowing, but bypassed the bamboo forest and went to the back garden.

There is a shallow lake in the back garden, and there is a water pavilion in the center of the lake.

Zhu Nanxian faintly saw a person standing in the waterside, with his hands behind his back facing him, dressed in plain clothes with wide sleeves, and his robes flying over, like a banished immortal.

This person is Su Jin, Su Jin five years ago.

Zhu Nanxian walked along the stone bridge and called out, “You are—”

Su Jin turned around.

Zhu Nanxian was born in a deep palace. He has seen a lot of talented Gao Shi since he was a child, and there are also elegant and clean people.

But Su Jin was still too different.

Her brows contained clear frost and mist, and when she looked back, it seemed as if the spring breeze and the bright moon were all embraced by her arms, and her slightly closed eyes revealed thousands of brilliance.

She just stood in the water pavilion with her hands behind her back, and the boundless wind in the dark night seemed to rise because of her, and the shallow lake behind her with rough water suddenly turned into a sea, and the waves came rushing through the mountains.

Zhu Nanxian was completely stunned.

So much so that when Su Jin knelt down to greet him and said that he was “surnamed Su, first name Jin, styled Shiyu, he is a jinshi in this department”, he didn’t remember to say “flat body”, but instead said Dong Shi with a frown: “Oh, I The surname is Zhu, the name is Ai, the word is Nanxian, the line is thirteen, and I’m… being the prince in the palace.”

Su Jin smiled lowly.

The laughter made Zhu Nanxian come back to his senses, and he asked hesitantly, “Are you…will you be a pair?”

Su Jin was a little surprised, raised his head and asked, “What pair?”

Zhu Nanxian put his arms in his arms . The letter with the words “A cup of clear tea, quenching the thirst of the Yuan Dynasty” was handed to her, and she said, “If you are right, would you like to help me write a few couplets?”

There are ready-made pen and ink in the water pavilion. He picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and then asked, “How many lower couplets does Your Highness want?”

Zhu Nanxian was so nervous for the first time, for fear of embarrassing her, he said, “Three or four

is fine.” Not enough, he said again: “Seven or eight will do.”
