Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 84 Zhu Houzhao is very impressive
Xu Jing was very worried about Chen Ce. He knew that Chen Ce had always lived in seclusion and rarely went out. Logically, he would not take the initiative to offend anyone, let alone a group of eunuchs.

The only explanation is that this group of eunuchs provoked Chen Ce first.

But this group of people is different from Lin Mianzhi. They are just a dog-skin plaster. They have huge forces behind them and are related to the royal family. It will be very troublesome to deal with them.

While Xu Jing was thinking about it, the eunuch Li came up to Chen Ce with a big pig head and asked, "Are you the owner of the ten acres of fertile land in Kuihua Township?"

Chen Ce hummed: "Yes."

Li Guang waved his hand and shouted to his attendants, "Get out! Stay away! Get lost! We have something to talk about in private!"

The visitor had bad intentions, so Xu Jing was very alert.

"Ouch."

Li Guang fell to his knees with a thud, and prostrated himself on the ground devoutly as if he was kneeling to worship gods and Buddhas, kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.

"There were so many people just now that I knelt down and kowtowed to you."

"You are a magnanimous person. I am just a eunuch without any balls and I have little knowledge."

"Don't bother with a eunuch like me. I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."

"Can you please forgive me?"

As he spoke, he took out two night-shining pearls from his arms and presented them with both hands.

Karma?
Xu Jing's eyes widened until they almost popped out. He thought he was hallucinating.

What's going on?
Aren’t you here to cause trouble?
Why did you kneel down?
This, this, this... is the opposite of Tiangang!
He looked at Chen Ce in shock and swallowed. What kind of monster is Mr. Chen?
What did he do that he didn't know about? Why were the eunuchs in the palace so frightened?

Of course Chen Ce knew the reason. It was most likely that Zhu Houzhao took action. That guy was very concerned about his face. Wang Yue had overshadowed him outside. If he didn't get back at him, would he still be Zhu Houzhao?

Chen Ce knew that if he didn't accept the fat eunuch's gift today, he would be in trouble when he returned, so he took two pigeon egg-sized night pearls and said lightly, "Don't bully me next time."

Li Guang: "..."

Next time, you should not bully me. Check your conscience and ask yourself, doesn’t your conscience hurt when you say this?

You have such a good relationship with the prince, you should have told me earlier. Even if you had told me, my family would not have been blind.

"Hey! Great! Thank you very much. Thank you very much."

"Um, young master, do you have any other needs?"

Chen Ce shook his head and said, "No more."

Li Guang asked cautiously: "Have you forgiven me?"

Chen Ce said: "I'm forgiven."

"Hey, okay, okay."

Li Guang stood up, but his butt was almost cracked by the knock, so it was a bit difficult to get up. Chen Ce hurriedly tried to pull him up, but Li Guang knelt down again and asked hurriedly, "Young Master, is there anything else?"

"Let me pull you up."

Li Guang hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I can get up. I can get up."

How can you still get up after such a bad situation? You are quite a character.

Li Guang endured the pain and stood up, then walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, snorted, and said, "Why don't you come and help me get into the sedan chair?"

"Here!"

Li Guang got on the sedan chair and left in a hurry with a group of people. While in the sedan chair, he did not forget to order all the eunuchs in the inner palace who saw him being beaten on Wansui Mountain today to be killed secretly and replaced with a new batch!
Xu Jing swallowed his saliva, looked at Chen Ce with hesitation, but couldn't help asking Chen Ce: "Mr. Chen, what are they doing?"

Chen Ce thought for a while and said, "Maybe he has a change of heart." Xu Jing smiled awkwardly. Is he lying to a child?
……

Zhu Houzhao came to the residence of Duke of Yingguo Zhang Mao with his hands behind his back.

However, Zhang Mao, the Duke of England and the first military lord, was not at home tutoring his grandson at this time, but was accompanying Emperor Hongzhi to offer sacrifices to heaven.

Zhu Houzhao came to Zhang Lun's study, and the little guy was still concentrating on reading the awkward Analects of Confucius.

He has angered and driven away countless teachers.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Little brat, today I will teach you a powerful lesson."

Zhang Lun hurriedly said seriously and respectfully: "Brother Crown Prince, go ahead."

Zhu Houzhao was quite satisfied. Zhang Lun was actually a very well behaved person, but he just put his effort into the wrong place in his studies.

Zhu Houzhao spent an afternoon teaching Zhang Lun punctuation marks. Although the other party did not fully understand it, Zhu Houzhao marked all the punctuation marks in the Analects for him.

This time Zhang Lun began to read smoothly.

"Learning and practicing from time to time, isn't it a pleasure..."

Well, Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very standard."

"Wait for your grandfather to come back and ask him to send me 1,800 taels of tuition, okay?"

Zhang Lun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, I got it."

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied. Looking at Zhang Lun's admiring eyes, he felt a little ecstatic for a moment.

The sacrificial ceremony at the Taimiao had ended, and Duke Yingguo Zhang Mao found Tan You, the son-in-law of the Earl of Xinning.

"Master Tan, you know that we only have this one eldest grandson, who will inherit our Dukedom of England in the future."

"His father died early, so we are counting on this grandson. We can't just let him go to waste."

"Don't go!"

Tan You is very straightforward. This grandson of the Zhang family has angered so many teachers and driven them away. Doesn't he have any idea of ​​his character?
You want me to teach your grandson? I want to live two more years.

Zhang Mao sighed, "I see. Hey, you have grandchildren, and so do I. You said that we are all old, and in the end, aren't we all doing it for the sake of our descendants?"

"What can I do?"

Listening to Zhang Mao's tearful words, Tan You softened his heart, "Well, Lao Zhang, how about I give it a try?"

Zhang Mao turned around suddenly, grabbed Tan You's hand, and said excitedly: "I knew you, Old Tan, are not that kind of person! You are a great scholar, and you don't lie. Otherwise, I will spread your reputation."

Tan You's face twitched violently.

I’ve been tricked, fuck!
Zhang Mao pulled him towards Zhang's house. Tan You had a bad feeling and was afraid that his heart might get hurt.

孽 孽!
Zhang Mao, you are so shameless. You are so old and still acting as an old man. I was blind and fell for your trick!

Zhang Mao took Xinning Earl Tan You to Zhang Lun's study and said to his favorite grandson Zhang Lun, "Quickly read a passage of the Analects to your grandfather Tan, so that he can listen to it."

Zhang Lun said "oh" and started reading the Analects. His voice was so clear that it could be heard: "It is a joy to learn and practice what you have learned. It is also a joy to have friends coming from afar..."

Tan You stared at Zhang Mao in a daze, and said in astonishment: "Isn't this good? What's the problem?"

Zhang Mao was also stunned for a moment. Something was not right. Didn’t this guy divide words like this before?
Tan You didn't say anything, and Zhang Mao didn't notice the problem. Now he suddenly realized that Zhang Lun seemed to be able to break characters. He walked over excitedly, picked up Zhang Lun, and asked him like he was holding a chicken, "How did you break characters?"

Zhang Lun started crying and said hurriedly, "The prince taught me that. He drew symbols on my book. Grandpa, don't hit me. Go hit the prince. He also asked you to give him 1,800 taels of silver for tuition. Go hit the prince. It has nothing to do with me. Grandpa, let me go! Awooo awooo."
