Chapter 455 Smoke Bomb
Zhu Zaijing was actually quite satisfied with Xu Wei's attitude.
Zhu Zaijing said: "I would like to ask Mr. Xu to teach the crown prince as the middle chairman of my house."
Xu Wei was stunned when he heard Zhu Zaijing's words. .
Although Xu Wei prides himself on being talented, in fact he is just a junior student who does not even have the honor of being a scholar, and is only slightly less glorious than a scholar.
And this bit of glory actually pierced Xu Wei's heart like a thorn, making him unable to face his failure in the imperial examination.
So, when Zhu Zaijing was about to invite him to serve as the host of the palace, Xu Wei was not only confused but also trembling.
You have to know that for a prince like Zhu Zaijing, his children are being watched by countless great scholars and noble officials in the imperial court.
These people all dream of having the opportunity to become the enlightenment teachers for Zhu Zaijing’s sons.
Because now anyone who is not stupid can see that Zhu Zaijing's reserve position is already confirmed.
If anyone is lucky enough to become the husband of Zhu Zaijing's son, then it is very likely that he will become an emperor's master in the future.
So, Xu Wei really didn't expect that Zhu Zaijing would give him such a great grace.
Xu Wei hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but the ordinary people are not very talented and have little knowledge. I am just a junior student. I may not be able to afford the academic enlightenment of the princes and young princes."
Zhu Zai Jing waved his hands indifferently and said: "I just teach these little guys how to read and listen to stories."
"Mr. Xu has been in Jianghu for a long time, and he followed Governor Hu to plan places and drive away Japanese troubles. This insight is also what I value most.”
"It is not that I have not considered the great scholars in the imperial court and the nobles in the Hanlin Academy, but your Majesty has not issued an order to make arrangements."
"So, I have no choice but to find a child for my child. Mr. Qimeng. Please give Mr. Xu serious consideration. "
Xu Wei was not only moved but also frightened when he heard Zhu Zaijing's words.
Because he knew very well how dangerous the journey to teach Prince Yu was.
If you don't do it right, you may be killed.
Therefore, after intense thinking, Xu Wei finally rejected Zhu Zaijing's solicitation.
Zhu Zaijing was not too surprised by Xu Wei's rejection.
He also understood what Xu Wei was afraid of.
But these are not important. It is enough to let Xu Wei know that Zhu Zaijing is optimistic about him and is willing to treat him as one of his own.
Zhu Zaijing said: "In that case, I won't force it. I will say hello to Governor Hu later and ask him to help you get the status of a supervisor of the Imperial College. In the future, the Japanese invasion in the southeast will be pacified. , after Hu Zongxian returns to the court, I can also reward you based on your merits, so that a meritorious minister like you will not get any reward in the end."
When Xu Wei heard Zhu Zaijing's words, he was extremely moved. By asking him to become a supervisor, he was given the qualifications to be an official.
With this qualification, I might not be able to serve the imperial court through this route in the future.
Therefore, Xu Wei also bowed deeply to Zhu Zaijing with gratitude, "Your Majesty, the common people cannot repay the kindness of the Lord. The common people will wear grass rings and never forget it until their death!"
Zhu Zaijing laughed and said: "I'm serious. Since the prince and Mr. Xu have no master-disciple relationship, I will not keep Mr. Xu."
Xu Wei bowed again: "The common people retire."< br>
Zhu Zaijing looked at Xu Wei's leaving figure, and he called Meng Chong over again, "Go and find someone to spread the news that Xu Wei will be recruited by me as the crown prince."
Meng Chong was stunned when he heard this. , a little confused.
Didn’t you already say that you don’t want Xu Wei to be the younger prince’s husband? Why are you still spreading such news now?
Zhu Zaijing naturally would not explain the profound meaning to Meng Chong.
Zhu Zaijing was just going to put out a smoke popper to seduce the gangsters who had been hiding in the dark all these years and never wanted to take action.
Let them be unable to restrain themselves from attacking Xu Wei, so that Zhu Zaijing can overlook the entire capital force from above and see who is whose men?
After all, Zhu Zaijing no longer wants to hide his edge anymore. He wants to kill people and establish new power.
Just like when he used the pseudonym Zhu San in the suburbs of Beijing, if he doesn't make some real noise, who will truly surrender to him?
You must know that Yan Song is now too old to be distracted. If we don't take action in time, Yan Song will be really old and confused by then. He really won't be able to compete with the Qingliu people and let Xu Jie and his gang capture him. If everyone seizes the opportunity to make the government more positive, Zhu Zaijing will be trapped.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing must take the initiative, throw some attention-grabbing smoke pops, and blow up those people hiding in the corners to see who can't wait to attack Xu Wei, who can't wait to enter Prince Yu's palace and become the heir apparent. Mr. Enlightenment.
After finishing all this, Zhu Zaijing finally arranged the important things to be done today.
He asked Meng Chong to invite Chen over, and then went to Prince Jing's Mansion with Chen.
When we arrived at Prince Jing’s Mansion, it was already approaching meal time.
When Zhu Zaizhen saw Zhu Zaijing and Chen arriving together, he immediately greeted them warmly.
"Greetings to the third brother, hello to the sister-in-law."
Zhu Zaijing held up his hands and smiled slightly, Mrs. Chen also gave a slight bow to Zhu Zaizhen, "I have met the fourth uncle."
Zhu Zai Zhen said: "Third brother, sister-in-law, I have prepared meals. Let's go in and eat and chat."
Zhu Zaijing hummed, and took Chen into the residence of Prince Jing's Mansion.
Zhu Zaizhen led the way, and several people passed through the courtyard several times before arriving at the elegant hall where Zhu Zaizhen held the banquet.
At this time, Princess Jing was also waiting here early.
After she saw Zhu Zaijing and Mrs. Chen arriving, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and bowed to Zhu Zaijing and Mrs. Chen: "Greetings to the third brother, greetings to the sister-in-law."
Zhu Zaijing laughed and said, "Brothers and sisters, you don't have to be polite. This time I will bring Concubine Chen to talk to you to relieve your boredom. In the future, when you have nothing to do, you can come to my house with Brother Zhen as usual. Don’t be too taboo.”
After hearing Zhu Zaijing’s words, Princess Jing couldn’t help but feel relaxed. She was actually very nervous and irritable during this time.
She has always wanted to have a child, but Zhu Zaijing would ask her to use birth control every time, not wanting her to get pregnant early.
She didn't understand at the time and thought it was because Zhu Zaijing didn't want her to have an heir.
But when she became pregnant, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have lost her freedom and could not go anywhere. She could only carefully raise the fetus in Prince Jing's Mansion.
Now that I saw Zhu Zaijing again, after hearing Zhu Zaijing’s words, Princess Jing’s knot in her heart was suddenly relieved.
Princess Jing said: "Thank you, Third Brother. I have made a note of it. In normal times, I will continue to go to Third Brother's house with the prince to reminisce about old times and be a guest."
Zhu Zaijing agreed. With a loud voice, he said to Mrs. Chen: "You can sit next to Princess Jing. We will be as usual tonight. There is no need to be restrained. Just be more cheerful."
Zhu Zaijing acted as if he were at home at this time. He directly passed King Jing and began to arrange the rules for the banquet.
As for his arrangement, he naturally had no objection and was even accustomed to it.
