Chapter 140
"Master, do you want some supper?" Pushing open the door, Gu Ping said while putting a plate of pastries on the round table.
"What did you take? Let me see?" Gu Yuezhen put down the "Shangshu" in her hand and came to the table.
"Two meat buns, and your favorite mung bean cake, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare them for you." Gu Ping said with a smile: "Master, tomorrow is the day of the test, you should eat something and go to bed early. The most important thing is to raise your spirit.”
"I know." Gu Yue really grabbed a meat bun and ate it.
"Master, please eat slowly, don't choke." Gu Ping poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "You have to rely on yourself from now on. I heard someone said that life in the Gongyuan is very difficult. It's a big place, and I have to cook by myself, I don't know if you can make it, young master."
"It's okay." Gu Yue waved her hands nonchalantly: "Master, although I'm not good at cooking, it's still no problem to cook a plain porridge. It only takes about three days. If you bite your teeth, it will pass."
"Oh, master, the master didn't ask you to come here to grit his teeth. The master is still waiting for you to be named Guangzong Yaozu on the gold list." Gu Ping said seriously.
"Don't worry, young master, I am both civil and military. Glory to our ancestors is only a matter of time. You have to have confidence in young master~" In the blink of an eye, a meat bun was eaten, and Gu Yuezhen picked up the second one: "You eat it too." Come on, with our relationship, why are you being polite to the young master?"
Gu Ping was not too polite, picked up a mung bean cake and ate it: "Master, I heard that there were more than 5000 people who came to Nanjing for the exam this time, but the imperial court only recorded less than a hundred, you..."
The master and servant were eating cakes and gossiping, but they didn't notice a small hole was poked in the lattice paper of the door.
backyard firewood
"How is it? Have you eaten?"
"If you go back to the big stall, the villain will see it with his own eyes, and they will eat it all."
"Well, just take it. Is the dose enough?"
"Don't worry, the boss, the amount given to them by the subordinates is enough for them to sleep until tomorrow night and not wake up."
"So best."
"Boss, if you have any grievances with these two, after they fall asleep, the villain will help you..." The palm of the hand gestured on the neck.
"Don't meddle in your own business, a certain family doesn't know them."
"Then why is the stall..."
"The factory owner ordered, how could a certain company know?"
. . . . . .
"That's why Your Highness, the king governs with benevolence, and the virtuous people from all over the world will come in droves to assist and create a prosperous and great cause." Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Yunqi and said seriously.
"But..."
"Your Highness has questions?"
"No." Zhu Yunwen shook his head and hesitated for a while but still didn't say anything.
"Oh." Huang Zicheng sighed, got up and saluted, and left Chunfang.
After Huang Zicheng had gone far away, Zhu Yunqi turned to look at Xu Ruyi who was behind him: "Ruyi, Huang Qing's family said that the king should implement benevolent government, you say..."
"I understand what Your Highness means. Your Highness doesn't need to elaborate." Xu Ruyi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "In life, there are not many people who can see through the word power and desire. Your Majesty..." Xu Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but continued. Said: "Since the emperor came to the throne, the butcher's knife has been raised and lowered, and hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, and most of them are dignitaries in the court, and most of them are corrupt officials. It is inconvenient to elaborate on the reasons, but.
Your Highness knows.
How many Juren lords who participated in the imperial examination outside the palace today? "
"This..." Zhu Yunqi thought for a while, and guessed: "I'm afraid there are more than 1000 people."
"One thousand?" Xu Ruyi smiled, and stretched out five fingers of her right hand: "Five thousand can't beat it."
"So much? I thought..."
"You think the emperor just killed so many people and they won't come?" Xu Ruyi said with a smile: "So, this is the charm of lust for power. Only those who have passed the provincial examination are eligible to participate. Now they are gathering There are five thousand people in the capital, and the scholars and children in the world are as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river. They have been studying since they were young, and entering the court as an official is their only purpose in life.
Mr. Huang said before that only benevolent governance can win the support of sages. This is only useful in troubled times.In troubled times, scholars have more than one choice, they are choosing a monarch worthy of help, but in the ruling world, there is only one emperor in the world, if scholars don’t come to obediently contribute, do they really want to be an accountant or teach enlightenment to dolls? ?Therefore, no matter how many people the emperor kills, there will never be a shortage of officials in the world. "
"..." Zhu Yunwen was speechless.
If it is said that the great truth of Zhihuye taught by Huang Zicheng represents the light, then what Xu Ruyi taught him every time is the bloody and chilling reality after tearing away the appearance.Zhu Yunqi always instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Xu Ruyi's "reason", but he couldn't tell, because Xu Ruyi's reason always runs through the causal relationship of "because" and "so", which is clear at a glance, and he also Can't fault it.
I just went out for a "private visit on Weifu" yesterday, today Zhu Yunqi can't be shameless anymore and pester Xu Ruyi to take him out of the palace, and the memorials sent by Zhu Yuanzhang yesterday and today's summation are also quite a lot. It caused his grandfather's displeasure.So the two chatted for a while, and then they dispersed.
Zhu Yunwen went back to review the memorial, but what about Xu Ruyi?I have already gone to the East Factory in the morning, and all the things that should be dealt with have been arranged. I don't need him to do the specific things, as long as I wait for the final result.With nothing to do, he returned to his "home".The so-called home is the small courtyard that Ren Xiao arranged for him in the palace.Few outsiders go there, and the place is remote, which makes Xu Ruyi feel at ease.
With a flick of her robe sleeve, she swept down a broom leaning against the courtyard wall, and Xu Ruyi pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the house.
The house is still clean and tidy, and the kettle is full, as long as it is heated on the stove, it can be drunk.The bedding on the bed has also been folded.Xu Ruyi couldn't help nodding and chuckling: "It's really thanks to her."
When Xu Ruyi said she was referring to Feng Si, of course.In fact, Xu Ruyi is no longer under the "control" of Feng Si, but Feng Si is still the same as before, which makes Xu Ruyi feel a little touched.especially. . .Xu Ruyi couldn't think of anything he could do in return for her.For gold and silver?She can't use this deep palace compound, can she?Plus he is a eunuch. . .Xu Ruyi looked helplessly at her broken body and sighed.
. . . . . .
"Tonight's moon... is very round."
"Yes, master, it is big and round."
In front of the window, a master and a servant are looking at the crescent moon in the sky, playing the game of opening their eyes and telling lies.
"Ping'er."
"Master."
"Is today really... February 28?"
"Return to the words of the young master." Gu Ping analyzed wisely: "It should be February 27th when we fell asleep, and now we wake up, it is still dark, which means that probably...maybe...maybe...the sky is not yet Bright?"
"We slept at Haishi, and it's still Haishi, so today...is it February 27? The test is still tomorrow?"
"It's very possible, young master." Gu Ping nodded.
"..."
"..."
"Gu Ping." Gu Yue's voice was really gentle.
"Master." Gu Ping's voice was calm.
"If according to you, we slept for less than a quarter of an hour, why do I feel so energetic, young master?"
"Well..." Gu Ping thought for a while, and said, "The young master has practiced profound kung fu, and his skill is profound, so it is naturally very comparable to others."
"Oh, that's it." Gu Yuezhen nodded: "Then you haven't practiced internal strength, have you?"
"No."
"Then why are you so energetic?"
"The villain is very talented."
"..."
"..."
for a while
Gu Yuezhen sighed: "Ping'er, is it really okay for you to fool the young master like this?"
"Not good." Gu Ping shook his head.
"Ah~"
"Ah~"
Both master and servant sighed together.My mind finally returned to normal.Came to the table and sat down, Gu Yue was really puzzled and said: "It shouldn't be, we slept at Haishi yesterday, and now it's almost midnight. We didn't drink, how could we sleep all day for no reason?"
"That's right." Gu Ping was also depressed: "Master, you usually like to sleep late, but I, Pinger, you know that I always get up half an hour earlier than the rooster crows. Sleeping for a day has been a thing since I was weaned." Never."
"What's the matter?"
The master and servant fell into deep thought.
"It's not right, young master, it's not right!" At a certain moment, Gu Ping suddenly got up and shouted.
"No? What's wrong?" Gu Yue really didn't know why.
"Master, where are we now?" Gu Ping pointed to his feet with an excited expression: "This is the Zhuangyuan Building! The place where the scholars gather! When the time comes, maybe you and I didn't get up, and neither did the waiter or the shopkeeper? They Why didn't you come to wake us up?"
"Yes... that's right!" Gu Yuezhen also reacted, stood up and pulled Gu Ping to go out: "Let's go find the store to argue."
"Wait, young master!" Gu Ping held Gu Yuezhen back, and said, "I'm afraid we were tricked by someone. Now that I think about it, we were fine during the day yesterday, but we slept all day after eating some cakes at night. I'm afraid Those who ate were tampered with!"
"It's too bullying, it's not a son of man." Gu Yuezhen gritted her teeth: "Today, young master, I have to argue with this shopkeeper. If I don't give young master an explanation, young master must demolish his black shop!"
While talking, the door suddenly opened.
"Don't demolish it, don't demolish it, it's a pity to demolish the excellent Zhuangyuan building."
Gu Yuezhen blocked Gu Ping behind her, and frowned at the two in front of her.It was the shopkeeper Fang of the Zhuangyuan Building who spoke. He knew him after living there for such a long time. The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi next to him had a gloomy expression. He looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember his name for a moment.
Gu Yuezhen sized up Fang Tianyou, but Fang Tianyou didn't take it seriously, and said directly: "It seems that you are in good spirits, and you slept well last night?"
"What do you say?"
"It should be good." Fang Tianyou said with a smile: "I haven't opened my eyes for twelve hours. Most people don't have this ability."
"Who are you? Do we know each other? Or...have I offended you?" Gu Yuezhen asked in a deep voice.
"I'm the shopkeeper of the Zhuangyuan Building, you should know me." Shopkeeper Fang said with a smile, "We have no grievances or enmities, and I'm just following orders." As he spoke, he pointed at Fang Tianyou beside him.
"then you?"
"We did meet, but we didn't meet each other." Fang Tianyou shook his neck: "Don't think too much, a certain family is also following orders."
"On orders? On whose orders?"
"East Factory."
"Dongchang?" Gu Yuezhen was taken aback: "Then I offended Dongchang?"
"Hey~" Fang Tianyou waved his hand: "Don't always say that you are not offended, although I don't know what the governor means, but he should be for your own good."
He knew that Xu Ruyi and Gu Yue were old acquaintances. According to his guess, there must be something here that Xu Ruyi was inconvenient to talk about, so he made such a bad move.
"Hehe." Gu Yue was really laughed at by Fang Tianyou's words: "Young master came all the way to participate in the examination, and you let me fall asleep without saying a word, is it for my own good?"
"Well..." Fang Tianyou smacked his lips: "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise?"
"Master, what should we do?" Gu Ping asked quietly behind him.
"What should I do?" Gu Yuezhen chuckled, "Cold salad!"
As soon as the words were finished, Gu Yuezhen lunged forward, pushing the tiger in Taizu's Long Fist to push the mountain, clenched his fists with both hands, and hit Fang Tianyou's head and chest up and down.
"Young people are just too impulsive." Fang Tianyou calmly slapped his right hand up and down in front of his body, then pushed Gu Yuezhen to the side with two punches.Just as he was about to grab the back of his neck, Gu Yuezhen let out a low shout and suddenly kicked Fang Tianyou with his left foot, then kicked Fang Tianyou on the chin. come over.With this three consecutive blows, Fang Tianyou was also a little caught off guard. He tilted his head back to avoid the kick, and then his right hand suddenly became a claw and stretched out to his side.
"Oh!"
His fist hit Fang Tianyou's palm.Fang Tianyou let out a sinister smile, tightened his hands, and firmly grasped Gu Yuezhen's fist: "The low-level Taizu Changquan can be practiced so proficiently, it can be seen that he has put in a lot of effort, but this old man... umm! "Fang Tianyou's face turned blue suddenly, he groaned, and hit Gu Yuezhen's shoulder with his left hand.
The figure is divided into two points.
A trace of blood dripped from the corner of Gu Yuezhen's mouth: "Hey, is it cold? The young master will lend you some clothes to wear?"
"What a vicious internal force." Fang Tianyou looked at Gu Yuezhen coldly: "What kind of kung fu is this?"
"I won't tell you." Gu Yuezhen sneered, then stepped on the seven-star step, waved his hands, and attacked Fang Tianyou.
Fang Tianyou snorted coldly, and didn't hold back anymore.His hands formed into claws, and the left branch blocked it again. Looking at a flaw, he suddenly shot and grabbed Gu Yuezhen's chest, and yelled "Get up!"
"Master, be careful!" Gu Ping said anxiously.
"What?" Gu Yuezhen glanced out of the corner of her eyes, and suddenly saw Shopkeeper Fang's hand shaking, and a handful of white powder splashed on her face.
"I... go..." Gu Yue rolled her eyes and fainted.
