I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 395 Neglect
"It must be proved! This is very important!" Zhu Houzhao's speech was very Zhu Houzhao.

"My armor seems to be in the Leopard Room, come!" Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Go to the Leopard Room and get my armor."

Then he said to his two nephews, "Today I will wear armor to show you, so that you can know that I am a mighty general!"

"Great!" The two children cheered while watching the fun.

Only then did Zhu Houzhao reveal a satisfied smile.

But then he changed his mind again, and said to his two nephews: "How about Uncle Huang take you to the Leopard House to play, the Leopard House is really fun."

"Where is the Leopard House?" Zhu Zaiheng asked while biting his finger.

"The Leopard House is the home of the Emperor's uncle!"

"What's fun about the Leopard House?" Zhu Zaihao asked.

"What's fun?" Zhu Houzhao quickly thought about what kind of things in the Leopard House were suitable for children to play with. It seemed that there were not many, but the words had already been said and it was difficult to take them back.
"My uncle has a lot of big horses at home, and a set of colorful comic books. Also, we have a lot of animals, including tigers and leopards." Zhu Houzhao said as he thought.

"Okay! Okay! I want to go to Uncle Huang's house to play with big tigers and look at colorful paintings," the two children cheered.

The two children were very curious at that time, so they could not resist such instigation.
"Colored comic books?" Zhu Houxuan asked curiously. He didn't remember the Royal Group publishing color comic books.

"It's the same comic book published by the Royal Group. I asked an artist to color it for my collection," Zhu Houzhao said calmly.

I have to say that Zhu Houzhao was quite arrogant.
"Forget it! The two children are still dependent on their mother." Zhu Houxuan thought about it and refused.

"Father, we are going to the Emperor's uncle's house." The two children did not give Zhu Houxuan any face at all.

"Look, both of my nephews want to go." Zhu Houzhao said proudly.

"How about this, let our two younger brothers and sisters go with us." Zhu Houzhao suggested, then he thought of something, "You go too." Zhu Houzhao still knew how to avoid suspicion.

The matter was settled, and Zhu Houxuan did not refuse. He took Liu Yourong, Qin Yuelan, and his two sons to the Leopard House.
After all, his two children and two wives had just arrived in Beijing, and he wanted to make up for the three years he had missed.
The two children were having a lot of fun in the Leopard House. Zhu Houzhao took out his treasured comic strips and put on his full set of armor in front of the two children. The two children then admitted that he was a mighty general, which made Zhu Houzhao even more proud.
They also went to the Royal Zoo, which was not open to the public, and saw all kinds of animals there.
Since the day he spent time with the two children, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have discovered something fun, and he would run to Nangong every few days to play with the two children.
After a while, Zhu Houxuan was surprised to find that the relationship between these two children and Zhu Houzhao was better than his relationship with his two children.
After all, Zhu Houxuan had too many things to deal with every day, and the time he could spend with his two children was very limited, while Zhu Houzhao had a lot of time, and he even specially collected a bunch of fun things for the two children.

So naturally, the relationship between these two children and their imperial uncle became particularly good.

Later, it developed to the point where the two children could go out and play with Zhu Houzhao for most of the day without their parents.
Zhu Houzhao even brought the two children into the Forbidden City to play, which caused some commotion among the concubines in the harem and the ministers in the court.
During this period, Concubine Liu also took Liu Yourong to the palace to pay a visit to Empress Dowager Zhang. Empress Dowager Zhang acted very indifferent and did not summon Concubine Liu to the palace afterwards.
Empress Dowager Zhang still seems to be upset about what happened back then.
Zhan Bin stood at the door of the Ministry of Personnel, looking at the people coming and going, feeling a little nervous. He had been hesitating at the door for a long time.
He actually arrived in the capital with Concubine Liu and others, and he also met Zhu Houxuan.
However, Zhu Houxuan was busy reuniting with his family, so he did not have a detailed chat with Zhan Bin. He just told Zhan Bin to come back to him in a few days, so Zhan Bin took this opportunity to visit the Ministry of Personnel.
In the end, Zhan Bin gritted his teeth and walked towards the Ministry of Personnel.

The Ministry of Personnel is definitely the most powerful of the six ministries, after all, it holds the power to promote officials.

Even the clerk guarding the gate was very arrogant. A group of officials in green official uniforms were standing at the door smiling cautiously.

Officials of the eighth and ninth ranks of the Ming Dynasty wore green robes, officials of the seventh to fifth ranks wore blue robes, and officials of the fourth to first ranks wore red robes.

Zhan Bin, wearing a green robe, was inconspicuous in the crowd. He lined up silently in the team.
Soon it was his turn. The clerk at the door lazily took the various documents prepared by Zhan Bin and glanced at them. At the top was Zhan Bin’s birth certificate.
"How rare! It's actually a juren wearing a green robe." The clerk sneered.

Zhan Bin's face suddenly turned red. Although the reputation of a juren was good in the local area, it was still not good enough in the capital and in the Ministry of Personnel.
The capital city is the place with the highest density of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, so a small Juren is really not worth mentioning.
Zhan Bin suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, and he felt as if the people around him were looking at him with mocking eyes.
The clerk casually flipped to the second document, which was Zhan Bin's certificate of appointment. A certificate of appointment was a document used to grant official positions in ancient times, similar to a modern letter of appointment.

When the clerk saw the words on Zhan Bin's certificate, his face immediately turned pale. He read it again in disbelief to make sure he had read it correctly.
"Sir, are you the left chief secretary of the Prince of Jing's palace?" The clerk's tone became extremely respectful, and his waist bent unconsciously.
"That's right!" Zhan Bin said after a moment's hesitation. He lamented in his heart that his status as a juren was already looked down upon by others, and now it was revealed that he was also an official in the royal palace, which made people look down upon him even more.

Zhan Bin was now extremely embarrassed, and had an urge to escape.
"Plop!" The clerk knelt down all of a sudden. "Please forgive me, sir! Please forgive me, sir! I was blind and neglected you! I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

As he said this, he slapped himself in the face with quite a bit of force.

This scene made everyone dumbfounded. Zhan Bin felt even more confused. He didn't understand why this happened.
"Sir, why are you doing this?" Zhan Bin asked in some surprise and doubt.

"I didn't know you were the Chief Clerk of the Prince of Jing's Palace. If you don't forgive me, I will definitely lose my position." The clerk said with a bitter face.

When the officials around heard that Zhan Bin was the chief of the Jingwang Palace, they all cast cold eyes at Zhan Bin, and then moved further away from him, as if Zhan Bin was a plague god.
This made Zhan Bin even more confused.
