Since ancient times, there are some princes who are eager to die for their father and inherit the throne by themselves, but this view now appears on an eight-year-old naughty child... Chen Xi thought to himself, what kind of influence does this naughty child have in daily life that he has such a rebellious idea?

Is it because his father and mother love him less on weekdays, or is it that he just so eager to be the emperor and exercise his authority?

However, even if someone heard this, he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Chen Xi and Jin Gui, as Zhongyun of the Chunfang, dared not record this sentence truthfully. Emperor Hongzhi knew that Zhu Houzhao said this, and at most he would be scolded a few words. If they wanted to record it truthfully, they would not want it.

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi left, Wang Hua and several Japanese lecturers breathed a little relieved.

Fortunately, Zhu Youzhang was quite reasonable. Perhaps he knew that his son didn't like studying very much, so he gave the Japanese lecturer a step and asked them to spend a night teaching the prince to recite the biography of "The Great Chapters and Sentences".

If you say that Prince Zhu Houzhao is also unlucky enough, in "The Great Chapters and Sentences", there are the most ten characters, with a total of seven or eight hundred characters (out of punctuation). However, according to the learning progress, since you have learned this, it means that the prince still has a certain foundation in his knowledge. In addition, he recited it a few days ago but forgot it for a while. It is enough to cram the Buddha in a moment, two or three hours.

Unfortunately, Zhu Houzhao is not so easy to obedient, especially now that the prince is still angry with his father, how could he easily submit?

As soon as Zhu Youzhang left, the prince picked up his wooden sword again and continued to "slay the demons with swords". This made Wang Hua and other Japanese lecturers suffer. They went up with Liu Jin and tried to persuade him. Not only did they not change their minds, but they made the prince extremely angry: "Besides, I will kill you together! Let's go!"

The naughty child had long forgotten to respect his teacher and respect his words. He only knew that his father made him very upset. He wanted to use the palace maids as the target of venting his anger and poke them hard with a wooden sword. Not long after, most palace maids had broken clothes, and some of them even had blood on their bodies.

Although it was a wooden sword, the tip of the wooden sword was still very sharp. After a few poking, the palace maids began to cry and beg for mercy.

"Cry again, throw you all into the river, hum! You little devils, dare to go against me, do you want to die?"

The naughty child became arrogant and no one could stop him. Wang Hua, Liu Jin and others could only follow behind, hoping that the prince would calm down and study when he was tired of playing.

But a half-old child, who is not only playing, eating, drinking, and sleeping, will he be tired? Even if he is free, he wants to find something interesting to do.

Jin Gui wiped his sweat and his face pale... But he didn't know if it was because of the hot weather or the summoned in front of the emperor just now. He sighed with lingering fear: "I almost walked in front of the gate of hell. This position of Zhongyun is not good..."

When he said this, Jin Gui shut up.

When Chen Xi heard what Jin Gui said, he almost said "Accompanying the king is like a tiger". He worked in the Eastern Palace and guarding such an uncontrollable master, life was quite difficult. Chen Xi thought to himself, this was probably similar to a besieged city. People outside tried their best to squeeze in, but people inside wanted to go out and take a breath.

No matter what, Chen Xi and Jin Gui's errands were completed. The next day, the prince went to the palace to accept Emperor Hongzhi's school entrance examination, and there would naturally be another group of people to record it. However, this matter was not over for both of them. Because if the prince could not recite it tomorrow and was investigated to the end, he and Jin Gui would always be questioned.

With a little nervous mood, Chen Xi and Jin Gui got an errand together and went home.

Chen Xi is unknown about how Wang Hua and those Japanese lecturers could make the prince memorize the articles between **, but based on his previous observations, the situation was very bad.

Chen Xi even had no intention of scruples about another thing...

This was the first day he took office, and he was fined a month's salary, which may not be a big deal for Chen Xi. After all, he had savings and had received a lot of gifts before, so he was quite generous. But for his colleagues in the Zhanshi Mansion, he only relied on such a small salary to support his family. If he couldn't get a month's salary, his family would have to drink the northwest wind.

It is really a bad thing to study with the prince. If it is not good, it will be held accountable. The salary penalty is considered light. Chen Xi returned home with a bitter face. Xie Yuner found that Chen Xi was in a wrong expression and asked quickly: "Did you have a bad business today?"

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Yes, your husband will lose his salary for one month on his first day of work."

"ah?"

Xie Yuner was very surprised. Now she has completely considered the problem from the perspective of Shen Xi’s wife. She is the most calculating person. Originally, she wanted to live a better life at home after Chen Xi was promoted. "Does my husband want to entertain Shangguan and host colleagues? If you don’t take it, you will always have to spend money on new officials to take office."

Chen Xi said: "It would be fine if I was invited to Shangguan. I would have caused trouble for no reason. I was fined by His Majesty. Today I was only fined for one month. If the prince could not recite the article from His Majesty tomorrow, the salary for a few months would be lost."

After Chen Xi told the general situation, Xie Yuner finally understood and immediately revealed what Jin Gui didn't dare to say: "Accompanying you is like a tiger, take care of your husband."

Chen Xi didn't want to mention such a disappointment, so he simply said that the next day was a holiday. He planned to go to the old house of Xie Yuner to prepare for the move with him.

Chen Xi has lived in this yard for almost half a year, and it is time to return the yard. Moreover, Xie Yun'er has always been thinking about moving in early. After all, that was where she grew up and had feelings for every brick and tile of the old house.

They still slept in separate rooms at night, and the two were newlywed, so Xie Yuner still had to keep a "distance" with him, because Lin Dai didn't think much about it. They could only be in a state of having an affair and would only be a little more intimate when there was no one.

But the most in this yard is people. Often, only when Xie Yuner brings tea to Chen Xi at night can she be a little intimate with Chen Xi. Often, when she is blushing and moved, she needs a basin of cold water to extinguish the heat in her heart, and to calm down her mood and go back to rest, which makes her feel even more unbearable.

The next morning, Chen Xi did not accompany Xie Yuner back to the old house as he said. He asked Xie Yuner to go there first, and wanted to inquire about the situation of the prince's entrustment yesterday.

When I arrived at the Zhan Shi Mansion, I found out that Wang Hua had not left the East Palace yesterday, and he actually taught the prince all night and had to stay in the palace.

According to the rules, after the palace gate is closed, there will be no foreign ministers in the palace. Wang Hua is really helpless. If the prince cannot recite it when he accepts Emperor Hongzhi's school entrance exam today, his crime will be great, and the entire Zhanshi Mansion will be affected.

The Zhan Shi Mansion has been fined for one month at the same time, but at least Chen Xi is in sight, and the many officials of the Zhan Shi Mansion do not seem to take it seriously. Instead, someone mentioned Chen Xi: "Just do things in the Zhan Shi Mansion and teach the prince well." The implication is that you don't have to worry about other things, and you won't even feel sorry for the fine of your salary?

After thinking about it again, the Zhan Shi Mansion is actually in charge of royal affairs. He takes good care of the prince's daily life and study. The emperor will not treat him unfairly. How could the mainstay of the Zhan Shi Mansion also be a group of great scholars from Hanlin origin. Behind them are the forces of the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, and there are also a group of officials who have won the donation in the Zhan Shi Mansion. How could everyone not afford to eat?

When the officials of the Zhanshi Mansion receive the salary from the court, they will receive a considerable amount of "Shu Xiu". Of course, this is only a special preferential treatment for officials from the upper class of the Zhanshi Mansion. Although Chen Xi didn't know how much "Shu Xiu" was, he expected that it would not be less than his usual salary.

Just as Shen Xi sat down to wait for news, there was a noise outside, but it was Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning who came to Zhan Shi Mansion to "inspect" himself.

It is said that Zhang Heling does not belong to the civil service system, but he has a title and is a royal relative, so he often comes to the Zhan Shi Mansion.

Zhang Heling's purpose this time is to comfort the officials of the Hanlin-born Zhanshifu who were fined yesterday because Emperor Hongzhi got angry.

"...... His Majesty took the Prince's knowledge before, and the Prince's answers were all the credits of all the ministers. Today, this marquis gave you a gift here as a reward from the Queen."

Zhang Heling wanted to give gifts to officials of the Zhan Shi Mansion, but would not bring out his sister, Queen Zhang, in his own name. In this way, these gifts became gifts given to his teacher by the students' parents and were part of the "shuo Xiu". Even if it was placed in the public, it would not make people think that this was a bribery. After all, it is natural to give gifts to his husband these days.

"Shen Zhongyun is here too? Just so I can't let this marquis give you a gift to the mansion."

Zhang Heling was not very enthusiastic about other officials, but instead looked at Chen Xi, the sixth-rank Youchunfang Youzhongyun, which looked at Chen Xi, which made the people in the Zhan Shi Mansion very jealous.

Getting close to Shouning Hou is the best way to get promoted and make money... Shouning Hou is now the uncle of the country. If the young emperor ascends the throne in the future, his status will only be promoted but not declined. Anyone in the court who has some ambitions for power will flatter Shouning Hou and be respectful.

Chen Xi bowed and said, "The officials only adhered to their duties and served the court, and should not receive the reward from the Marquis of Shouning."

Chen Xi showed enough respect for Zhang Heling, but he lacked a kind of closeness. He did not call Zhang Heling a "marquis" like others, but this did not affect Zhang Heling's attitude towards him.

Zhang Heling smiled and said, "The gift was given by the queen, no matter how important it is. If you want to thank you, you will thank Your Majesty and the queen. Shen Zhongyun, you are very talented. The poem I wrote last time at this marquis's mansion is now widely circulated in the capital. You are not only the top scholar in the Ming Dynasty, but also the top scholar in poetry, calligraphy and painting!"

After Chen Xi heard this, Zhang Heling was clearly catching hatred! When he was in the Hanlin Academy, he was already envied by others because of his youth and appreciation from Xie Qian. Although he was not jealous of others, he was regarded as an enemy by his colleagues wherever he went, which only made him feel that he was a failure in life.

Zhang Heling did not stay in Zhan Shi Mansion for long and left quickly. The officials respectfully sent them out, especially those who were transferred to Zhan Shi Mansion for their role as officials by Zhang Heling, who were recommended by Zhang Heling, who were even more complimented to Zhang Heling.

Not long after, Wang Hua finally came back from the East Palace. With his haggard look, he suffered a lot last night in order to get the prince to endorse the letter, but he did not receive the courtesy he deserved when he returned, because it was him who fined the Zhan Shi Mansion for one month's salary.

"Shen Zhongyun is here too?"

Wang Hua looked at Chen Xi and smiled bitterly, his face full of emotion.

He was not complaining about Chen Xi and Jin Gui's recording of the content of the prince's entrustment yesterday, but he thought that next time he wanted to record this, it was best to discuss it clearly, because teaching and recording were two classes, and it was easy to have poor communication problems. After all, it was better to discuss how to deceive superiors and conceal subordinates.
