Chapter 32
Liu Wentai often received famous invitations to participate in various poetry gatherings in Jinling, and he had a much wider network among the children of bureaucrats and gentry than Hu Hanshan.

With a 'snap', he closed the palace-style lacquered flower-and-bird fan, and began to introduce the situation before him to Hu Hanshan: "It is not difficult to worship under the teacher of the Prince's Five Classics with Brother Hanshan's talents and learning."

"There are only a few real rivals, one is Liao Shirong, who is also the son of Huaixi Xungui."

Although Liao Shirong's father is dead, he still left him a rich network of contacts, and the most important Emperor Hongwu has never forgotten his father Liao Yongan's sacrifice for the country.

After Liao Shirong's father died, he was posthumously granted the Duke of Chu. In the ninth year of Hongwu last year, he was granted the titles of Xuanli Wuchen, Guanglu Doctor, Zhuguo, and Yunguogong.

Duke Yun is no ordinary Duke, but the most honored first-class Duke in the country.

In addition, one of the things that made Liao Shirong the most prestigious among Huaixi Xungui's children was also one of the main reasons why he was able to worship under Song Lian.

Liao Shirong is the deputy general of Yiwei in Yan Wangfu, and one of the close ministers of Yan Wang Zhu Di.

Liu Wentai described in detail Liao Yongan's family background, official position, and various personal connections, and glanced at Hu Hanshan next to him.

Not because of anything else, he is also a noble from Huaixi, and also has a prominent family background.

Liao Shirong stood under the peach tree at the entrance of the Dongli Thatched Cottage, surrounded by six or seven princes and princes, who could be said to be a great force among the younger generation of nobles in Huaixi.

One must know that Zhou Ji, the eldest son of Zhou Dexing, Jiang Xiahou, who had the largest number of old tribes, had no more than a dozen sons of princes around him.

Hu Hanshan didn't have any, but instead had a son of a civil official in eastern Zhejiang.

Hu Hanshan and Liu Wentai stood alone together, and when they looked at the six or seven powerful princes around Liao Shirong, the gap was not so big.

In particular, the status of the deputy general of Yiwei in Yanwangfu really made Hu Hanshan a little envious.

As long as the days go by slowly, and there are as many as six or seven princes' children around him to help, he will definitely be able to make a fortune in the future.

Liao Shirong was also a close minister of Yan Wang Zhu Di when he was in the hidden residence. After Yan Wang Zhu Di ascended the throne, he must be the most trusted courtier.

Unlike Hu Hanshan, what he is most afraid of is that life will go on, and he is most afraid of time passing too fast.

But well.

Liao Shirong didn't want to have a good time, but he dared to come and pay homage to Song Lian's family.

It violated the taboo of Emperor Hongwu.

Hu Hanshan remembered that Liao Shirong was one of the few nobles in Huaixi who had both civil and military skills, and the city was very deep. How could he think of worshiping Song Lian: "He shouldn't have come."

Liu Wentai heard Hu Hanshan's muttering, and directly explained in a low voice without any scruples: "It's not that Liao Shirong is not loyal to King Yan and wants to follow the prince's footsteps."

"On the contrary, Liao Shirong is too loyal to the King of Yan. He wants to win over a group of disciples of the Prince's Five Classics Master for King Yan by worshiping under the Prince's Five Classics Master."

Liu Wentai really took care of Hu Hanshan. No one could know such secrets. Tan Tanweng has been familiar with Emperor Hongwu and the vassals for so many years.

Tan Tanweng repeatedly confessed that he could not tell the secrets related to the national dispute. Once the Hongwu Emperor knew about it, it would be a serious crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family.

Hu Hanshan heard Liu Wentai's sincere explanation, and knew in his heart that he had made a cognitive error.

The prince Zhu Biao is alive and well, who would have thought that the prince would die of illness in the 25th year of Hongwu, but now it is still the [-]th year of Hongwu.

It was even more unexpected that the vassal king of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty would be Zhu Di, the fourth son of Yan Wang.

Liao Shirong came to pay homage to Song Lian's family, which is easy to explain. This is a precautionary measure, and it is the result of discussions among the courtiers around Yan Wang Zhu Di.

Prince Zhu Biao's heirs are not prosperous, and after so many years, there is only one son.

The eldest son was still weak and sickly, showing signs of premature death.

If it weren't for the imperial physicians in the palace hanging their lives with all kinds of precious medicinal materials for so many years, the prince Zhu Biao would have died long ago.

Once the prince Zhu Biao dies, all the vassals will have the opportunity to inherit the throne.

Hu Hanshan heard Liu Wentai lower his voice even more, talking about the big taboo among the big taboos, the heir of the prince.

Nodding his head, it was indeed as the vassals thought, the eldest son of Prince Zhu Biao died within a few years.

The vassal kings also have the opportunity to inherit the throne. The last emperor of Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, passed the throne to his younger brother Chongzhen because his elder brother, Emperor Tianqi, had no heirs.

However, just this year, Prince Zhu Biao's concubine will give birth to his eldest son, the later Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi.

Today's premature death may be too great, even the Tian family cannot avoid it, even if another eldest son is born in the concubine, who can guarantee that he will not die young.

There are still three emperor brothers in front of Chongzhen, but if one can survive, it will not be his turn to inherit the throne.

Otherwise, with Liao Shirong's status, he wouldn't be so eager to join Song Lian's sect and win over a group of old disciples from the civil servants in eastern Zhejiang.

When Liao Shirong saw Hu Hanshan, he would never have taken him seriously in the past.

It's different now. Hu Hanshan can be said to be famous all over the south of the Yangtze River, and he has become the top three talents in Jinling.

This time, he is a strong enemy who worshiped under Song Lian's family.

Liao Shirong came over with six or seven princes' disciples, cupped his hands and said, "We are all nobles in Huaixi, so I won't talk much about the scene. As long as I can give this opportunity to this general, I will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Let?
I wish I could give it to you.

Who rarely worships under Song Lian's door.

Hu Hanshan said very seriously: "Don't worry, this gambling monster is just here for a formality."

When Liao Shirong heard that Hu Hanshan actually agreed, he couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect Hu Hanshan to be so scheming, so he prevaricated in a few words.

It seems that the biggest obstacle to worshiping Song Lian this time should be Hu Hanshan.

The views of the six or seven princes and princes on Hu Hanshan changed instantly. They all said that he was a bastard with no intentions, and even the uncle Ma Fan dared to provoke him.

Today it seems that everything is a cover-up.

Hu Hanshan was deeply taught by the Prime Minister of the Left, Hu Weiyong, how to be an official, and he is so proficient in shirking officialdom.

It seems that this time he is determined, even if he offends Yan Wang Zhu Di, he will not hesitate to worship Song Lian.

Not much speculation.

Liao Shirong left a sentence, each according to his own ability, and left with six or seven princes and sons.

Liu Wentai was ready for a conflict, even though he and Hu Hanshan were going to be beaten up by Liao Shirong and many other sons of princes.

Unexpectedly, Hu Hanshan resolved the beating this time with just a flirtatious prevarication.

Holding the palace-style lacquered flower-and-bird fan, Liu Wentai said with a little admiration: "Brother Han Shan's accomplishments in officialdom's prevarication are really not simple."

Hu Hanshan looked at Liao Shirong and other prince's children who regarded him as a strong enemy, and listened to Liu Wentai's words of admiration.

I just want to helplessly spread my hands.

What I said is real.
