Chapter 17 Mr. Gao
The next morning, Zhu Zaijing woke up earlier than a chicken.
Before Meng Chong got up, Zhu Zaijing had already put on a set of loose Taoist robes at home and practiced the "Xiantian Gong" style taught by Lan Daoxing yesterday in his small yard.
The reason why Zhu Zaijing wore such a loose Taoist robe was actually not to show off his filial piety, but because the daily home clothes of the scholar-bureaucrats during the Ming Dynasty were like this, and they were not worn by the Jiajing Emperor at all. Influence.
Wearing this loose Taoist robe at home and practicing Taoist Kung Fu, it feels a bit like a Taoist priest going down the mountain.
Just before Zhu Zaijing had a cup of tea, Meng Chong also ran over from outside the hospital in a panic.
Meng Chong, who had just come over, had not even taken a breath yet and said nervously: "Your Majesty, the wind is cold in the morning. Come in quickly."
Zhu Zaijing looked at the nervous Meng Chong and laughed. "I don't feel cold anymore after practicing. I just played for a week, and now I feel refreshed. People like you should practice more. You may be fat to death one day."
Zhu Zaijing's movements have not stopped yet, and he continues to practice his movements. Meng Chong on the side also looked embarrassed by what Zhu Zaijing said, but Meng Chong did not take it to heart.
Meng Chong said: "The prince is a born nobleman, and he is the best no matter what. A servant is a low life, otherwise I have accumulated great blessings in my previous life, and I will not have the opportunity to serve the prince in this life. I’m so fat because of the prince’s blessing.”
Zhu Zaijing laughed again after listening to Meng Chong's words. The fat man's words were so pleasant.
Zhu Zaijing ordered: "Go and prepare some light porridge, fry two pancakes, and boil a tea egg. After I finish practicing, I will have a meal."
Meng Chong responded quickly when he heard Zhu Zaijing's order, then turned around to prepare breakfast for Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing continued to train in the small yard to strengthen his body. Although this was only his first day of official training, he still felt very good.
After a circle of Qi movement, coupled with the training moves of "Xiantian Kung", Zhu Zaijing felt that his whole body was warm as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and his whole body was in perfect harmony.
When he finally stopped his movements, Zhu Zaijing also let out a long breath.
If this breath were measured using later generations’ vital capacity units, it would be at least around 5,000.
This shows how powerful the "Xiantian Gong" taught by Lan Daoxing is to cultivate the body's vitality!
After the exercise, Zhu Zaijing went to wash up briefly, changed into a set of dry clothes and went to the small restaurant.
Eating the meal carefully prepared for him by Meng Chong, Zhu Zaijing was in a great mood.
"Do you still remember what I told you yesterday?"
Zhu Zaijing was eating pancakes and talking to Meng Chong.
Meng Chong lowered his head and replied: "I remember."
Zhu Zaijing nodded, took another sip of porridge, and said, "Since I remember, let's do it quickly."
Meng Chong said yes and quickly went out to tell the servants in the palace to prepare according to Zhu Zaijing's instructions yesterday.
At the same time, Meng Chong also personally went to Tai Hospital to ask for Li Shizhen.
Meng Chong could have sent a servant to invite Li Shizhen.
But Meng Chong is also a careful person. Zhu Zaijing's attitude towards Li Shizhen yesterday did not seem to be a lie.
So for those whom Zhu Zaijing valued, Meng Chong would also show great care and respect, ensuring that he completed the tasks assigned to him by Zhu Zaijing.
While Meng Chong went to invite Li Shizhen, a handsome and tall man with a beautiful beard also arrived in front of Prince Yu's palace.
This man was wearing a green robe and official uniform, and the patch on his chest was a white pheasant.
This shows that this person's official rank is at least a fifth-grade official. As for whether it is a full fifth-grade official or a junior fifth-grade official, it depends on the specific official position. However, this person was majestic and majestic, and it was not like something in the pool. Therefore, when he stood in front of the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, the servants guarding the gate of the Prince's Mansion did not dare to make trouble by taking advantage of the high gate of the Prince's Mansion. , for fear of offending someone who shouldn't be offended.
“I would like to ask the concierge to inform you that Gao Gong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, would like to see His Royal Highness King Yu.”
When the concierge heard that he was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, his expression became even brighter. Be respectful.
"Bachelor Gao, wait a moment, I will go and report to the prince now."
The concierge did not dare to neglect a Hanlin bachelor. He jogged all the way into the palace and found him idly thinking about how to modify the bathroom of the palace. Zhu Zaijing reported the situation.
"Your Majesty, there is a Hanlin scholar in front of the door asking to see you."
Zhu Zaijing listened to the concierge's report and didn't take it seriously. He was currently focused on renovating the bathroom. .
Zhu Zaijing touched his chin and said: "I know, let him in."
Just when the concierge was about to turn around and call Gao Gong in, Zhu Zaijing asked again: "What's his name?"
The concierge stopped and tried to remember, "Gao Gong. "
Zhu Zaijing said, "Gao Gong, wait! What did you say? The Hanlin bachelor here is named Gao Gong?"
The concierge did not expect that his prince would suddenly have someone. He was overwhelmed by such a big reaction and carefully replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, I heard him say that his name is Gao Gong."
Zhu Zaijing immediately became excited.
This is a high arch!
Others don’t know how powerful Gao Gong is, but Zhu Zaijing knows it.
In terms of practical ability, who else can compete with Zhang Juzheng in the future Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Zaijing quickly called to the concierge, "Stop and don't move!"
Then Zhu Zaijing arranged his appearance and said, "I will go to greet you personally."
The concierge was also frightened by Zhu Zaijing's behavior. The prince is not like this at ordinary times. The prince usually feels tired even moving his fingers. What happened today?
Zhu Zaijing was excited. He trotted to the front of the palace. When he stood in front of the palace and saw the tall and bearded man with a Chinese character standing in front of the palace, he felt even more excited.
Zhu Zaijing quickly came down the steps in front of the palace, "Xiao Wang has met Mr. Gao!"
Zhu Zaijing's bow can make Gao Gong and the people in front of the palace look alike. The servants and guards were shocked. They never dreamed that Zhu Zaijing would be so courteous and polite to a small fifth-rank Hanlin bachelor.
Gao Gong was also stunned on the spot. He never expected that Prince Yu would treat him so politely.
Originally, he only had to make a high bow to Zhu Zaijing, but now he had to suppress his excitement and astonishment and kneel down to Zhu Zaijing.
But before Gao Gong could bow down, Zhu Zaijing had already quickly grasped Gao Gong's arm.
Zhu Zaijing said excitedly: "Xiao Wang is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally Mr. Gao is here. Mr. Gao, please come in quickly."
Zhu Zaijing's enthusiasm made Gao Gong also At a loss what to do, he still didn't understand why Prince Yu was so enthusiastic about him.
While he was still feeling dizzy, Zhu Zaijing had already pulled him into the front hall of the palace.
"Why are you still stunned? Why don't you quickly show Mr. Gao tea? Do you want to see my joke?"
Pressing Gao Gong on the chair, Zhu Zaijing turned around and faced the palace The servant among them said so arrogantly, which was completely opposite to his enthusiastic attitude towards Gao Gong.
