The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 65 Do You Dare To Threat Ben Gong?

Zhu Feng said how pitiful she was.

He kindly came to deliver the prescription, but the other party didn't appreciate it, and kicked him out of the house. Zhang Mao kicked him personally...

The realistic version of the dog biting Lu Dongbin.

Zhang Zhou turned a deaf ear to these complaints, and said in a lecturing tone: "I told you that you need to learn to adapt to the situation on the spot. It must be because of your wrong posture and inappropriate speech that led to the current result."

"what?"

Zhu Feng was startled first, then seriously pondered, could it be that my posture is wrong?

Xiao Jingdao: "Mr. Zhang, can you blame Second Master Zhu for this?"

Zhang Zhou spread his hands and said, "I don't blame him. Who is he to blame? Is it the Duke of England? Since the Duke of England doesn't listen to me, why should he ask me to treat him? Whether his son is dead or alive in the future... Please forgive him for being helpless."

Now it was Xiao Jing's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Yes, good intentions are like a donkey's liver and lungs, brother Zhang, I think we ignore this matter." Second Young Master Zhu also has a temper, and after being so humiliated, he decided to no longer care about the life and death of the British son Zhang Rui.

Xiao Jing obviously couldn't stand by and watch, he said: "No, it's better to let our family come to the door in person and explain clearly to him."

Zhang Zhoudao: "Eunuch Xiao, this is just like the predicament when I donated medicine thousands of miles away. If it is cured, will the British Guild thank you and me? If it can't be cured, it may be because of us delaying the treatment of his son."

Xiao Jing smiled helplessly and said: "It's up to people."

……

……

British government.

After Zhang Mao kicked Zhu Feng out the door, he was still sulking when he came back.

Xu Jin, Zhang Mao's successor, appeared in the main hall. Seeing her husband so angry, he walked over and said, "Erlang, the Duke of Cheng, came to treat illnesses, why did the master drive him out?"

Zhang Mao was originally married to Wang Miaohua, his deputy Yang Miaocong, his successor Xu Jin, and his concubine Liu, Fan, Cai, Ma, Gao, and Xiao. Lao Zhang also talked about "growing old and growing strong".

Zhang Rui was born to his original partner, Wang Miaohua.

Zhang Mao had seven sons, of whom only Zhang Rui was still alive.

"That scorpion, at first glance, is not a serious thing. After visiting the door, he does not diagnose the patient or ask about the condition, but gives a prescription for food supplements, saying that eating according to the prescription is eating bran swallowed vegetables. Isn't it teasing the old man? "

Zhang Mao did have reason to be angry.

As analyzed by Zhang Zhou, the posture of Zhu Fenglai to present the prescription was indeed wrong.

Zhu Feng is a rambunctious young man, even if he is a social cow, he is limited to a group of young men of the same age. He treats these young men as the opposite sex, so he can naturally perform well.

But when he arrived at the British government, he just ran errands and left after finishing the matter... Because the treatment method was so novel that it made Zhang Mao angry.

In the end Zhang Mao kicked him out because old man Zhang felt that someone was teasing him.

Just as he was talking, a servant came in and reported: "My lord, Mr. Xiao, the supervisor of ceremonies, is here to visit."

"Oh? What is he doing here?"

Zhang Maoxian was startled, it was no small matter for Xiao Jing to come to the door, so he hurried to the door to meet him.

When Zhang Mao saw Xiao Jing at the door, Xiao Jing didn't go into the yard either.

Xiao Jing didn't intend to be a guest, he just came to inform, let go of your prejudices first, even if you don't believe in Zhu Feng, it is after all the prescription given by the "Master Zhang" you have been thinking about.

Since you asked His Majesty for a meal of medicine, why don't you take it for a while and see?
"Grandpa Zhang, let's be clear. Our family is afraid that you may misunderstand Zhang Jieyuan. He actually has good intentions." Xiao Jing said.

It's okay not to mention Zhang Zhou, but to mention...

Zhang Mao was even more angry.

Zhang Mao blushed and said, "My old man asked him to come to treat his illness, but he didn't want to come, so he just declined. What does it mean to let the second child of the Zhu family come?"

Xiao Jing said: "He is too busy."

"What are you busy with? It means that I, Zhang, don't have the face to invite him?" Zhang Mao was furious.

Xiao Jing sighed and said: "He is busy making medicines for Wang Junmen on the three sides of the Northwest General Administration. He has a prophecy that Wang Junmen may not survive this winter."

"The fire in the palace earlier was also calculated by Zhang Jieyuan. The Empress Dowager moved the palace to Renshou Palace in advance, so nothing happened... You don't believe him, why did you ask him to dispense the medicine for you?"

Zhang Mao's face was slightly astonished, afraid of being overheard, he leaned forward and asked softly, "Did he figure out the fire?"

"That's right. Otherwise, why would our family come to persuade you not to be arrogant? Even if the prescription he prescribed is unreasonable, you might as well try it first... Our family has to go back and report to His Majesty, so we won't bother you any more. Farewell, farewell."

"Eunuch Xiao won't go in and sit down?"

"No, I don't have time to spare. We will meet again later when we have time."

Here Zhang Mao watched Xiao Jing leave in a carriage.

The servant next to him looked at Zhang Mao standing there with puzzled eyes, and asked, "My lord, that Fangzi..."

Zhang Mao frowned and said, "There are so many strange things in the real world. Is he a Taoist priest, a doctor, or a scholar? Why does he have everything?"

"Grandfather?"

"Since it's diet therapy, let's use it for a few days as he said, and the previous medicinal diet can't be stopped, so let's just do it like this! Alas! It seems that the old man went to the wrong doctor in a hurry and found the wrong person!"

……

……

Imperial Palace, Renshou Palace.

Changning Bo Zhou Yu is visiting his elder sister and bringing gifts to the Queen Mother Zhou.

"It's quite polite... Are the family affairs all right?"

The two younger brothers of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Hou Zhoushou of Qingyun and Zhou Yu, Bo of Changning, were considered prominent among the two generations of relatives from Chenghua to Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, all benefiting from the filial piety of the emperors Xianzong and Xiaozong.

Zhou Yu sighed: "Young son Xiaotang, he was injured while riding a horse, and he is recovering from his injuries. My brother heard that the capital has recently suffered from acne and plague, and I haven't been out for a long time...I won't let my younger brother, me, come and say hello to the Empress Dowager on his behalf."

The Empress Dowager Zhou sighed: "It's really worrying. Is the plague in the capital okay?"

"Fortunately, this is not going well. Tianfu is spreading everywhere to plant medicines, and I have planted them too. Speaking of people around the family, there is no one who grows medicines, and no one gets sick. Please worry about it, old sister."

Zhou Yu had a complimenting smile on his face.

"That's good." The Empress Dowager Zhou said, "I'll take a jade ruyi back later, and use it to ward off evil spirits."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Zhou Yu quickly stood up and thanked him.

A trip to the palace can always bring some benefits back, so he also likes to come to the palace, but not every time he applies for admission to the palace, he can be approved, and foreign ministers are still particular about entering the palace to visit the female family members of the inner palace.

"By the way, old sister, there is one more thing. It is said that the second boy of Duke Cheng's family, named Zhu Feng, came to my house the day before yesterday and said that he asked me to be responsible for providing the wood and stone materials for rebuilding Qingning Palace."

Only then did Zhou Yu explain his purpose of entering the palace.

Compared with the domineering Zhang brothers, although Zhou Yu did not let the Queen Mother worry, he has one good thing, that is, he would ask his sister for instructions first.

The Empress Dowager Zhou nodded in satisfaction: "It seems that the Gongsheng surnamed Zhang is quite good at handling things."

"Ok?"

Zhou Yu was puzzled, I told you about the second son of the Zhu family, how could I mention Zhang Gongsheng to me?

Only the Empress Dowager Zhou was like a bright mirror in her heart, knowing who instructed Zhu Feng to do this.

"It's a good thing. Do you feel that you can't do enough to supply the inner palace to repair the palace?" Queen Mother Zhou asked.

Zhou Yu understood that his sister was supporting him in taking on the job as a contractor.

Probably leaking some oil and water to his family on purpose, who doesn't know that it is a fat job to provide materials for the palace repair?
"No, it's just that I'm afraid that something will happen with the two of the Zhang family."

Zhou Yu was also a little afraid of the Zhang brothers.

As the Empress Dowager Zhou got old and didn't care about outside affairs, the status of the Zhou family was getting worse day by day, while the Zhang family was in full swing.

The Empress Dowager Zhou said with a stern face: "In the past few years, the officials are still talking about the fight in the street. Don't you want to get back the scene? You don't need to worry about the people of the Zhang family. You just need to concentrate on making Qingning The palace will be repaired, don't let Aijia down."

"Yes Yes."

Zhou Yu hurriedly responded.

With the approval of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Zhou Yu felt that he could go back and do a big job. Even if he didn't earn as much as the Zhang family brothers, it should be no problem to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver.

After chatting about the family for a while, Zhou Yu seemed to think of something, and asked tentatively: "Old sister, the fire in the palace has been rumored very evil, and it is said that someone had calculated the fire in advance, and you moved to Renshou Palace in advance. ...but really?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled: "Otherwise, why do you think Li Guang would kill himself? Speaking of which, Ai Jia exerted force on the sword on his neck."

"Who is it?" Zhou Yu asked.

"What's the point of inquiring?" The Empress Dowager Zhou obviously didn't want Zhang Zhou to be the second Li Guang, and she didn't want to publicize Zhang Zhou's clever calculations.

Zhou Yu said: "Recently, the family is also a little uneasy, I would like to ask you to go back and have a look at Feng Shui..."

The Empress Dowager Zhou's face became serious and she said: "Stop writing about those gods and gods, and think about how to repair the Qingning Palace. If you have nothing to do, go back, Ai's family is going to practice Zen."

"Yes."

Zhou Yu helped the Queen Mother get up, and the two walked out of Renshou Palace together.

Zhou Yu was still thinking, you like to practice Zen and engage in those mysterious things, and you actually persuade me not to believe it?Or is it that you believe in Buddhism and don't believe in it, so let me stay away from alchemists?
Besides, if someone helped you figure out that there was a fire in the Qingning Palace, it was equivalent to saving your life, so you just repay it?
Zhang Gongsheng...

Could it be him?
Zhou Yu thought of the person his sister had mentioned before, and silently remembered it in his heart.

……

……

On the third day of October, Zhang Zhou officially entered the palace for the first time to give lectures to Zhu Houzhao.

He was not a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, but was only temporarily allowed to enter the East Palace once. It can be said that this was an interview. If he failed to pass the performance, he probably would not have the opportunity to come again in the future.

"Is it here? Let him in!"

Zhu Houzhao got up very excited this morning, as if welcoming some distinguished guest.

Even the clothes are extraordinarily bright and tidy, as if they want to use the style of a prince to suppress Zhang Zhou's momentum... The little prince also wants to save face, and Zhu Houzhao is very dissatisfied with Zhang Zhou's previous strength.

Zhang Zhou entered the Wenhua Hall from the outside, followed by a dozen or so eunuchs carrying various boxes.

Zhu Houzhao took a look at this posture, and couldn't care less about overwhelming others, he said pleasantly: "You really brought something fun for Ben Gong? Quickly open it and show it to Ben Gong."

Zhang Zhoudao: "His Royal Highness, I came to the palace this time to explain the Four Books to you, not to play with the prince. The things I brought have been strictly inspected by the entrance guards to ensure that they do not endanger your safety. Only then is it allowed to bring it in. If the prince wants to see the mystery of it, please... first recite all the content that the minister said, otherwise the minister will not dare to play around with the prince."

"Zhang Zhou, how dare you threaten me?"

Zhu Houzhao was immediately annoyed.

When they met for the first time, they exposed Bengong's cover-up in public, which made Bengong very embarrassed.

This time you are in Ben Gong's territory, how dare you play tricks?

Zhang Zhou shrugged: "If His Royal Highness doesn't listen, there's nothing you can do about it. I'm not allowed to enter the palace in the future. I'd better take away these sundries that will make the prince playful and discouraged."

"you you……"

Zhu Houzhao was so cold that he couldn't speak.

Gu Dayong came over and reminded: "Your Highness, he is right. If he can't let you learn something this time, His Majesty will never let him enter the East Palace to accompany the prince in the future."

Zhu Houzhao was scared when he heard it.

A good thing is right in front of me, I haven't seen what it is yet, if I give up now...

"That's fine, hurry up, I don't have much time. It's best that you're not playing tricks on me. If I keep silent and your things disappoint me, I'll see how I punish you."

"Prince, please."
