After all, Zhang Wu came from the Hou Mansion. He had just boldly looked directly at Yu Rong, which was the limit of what he could do. Now that the courage had passed, he naturally lowered his head again, trying his best to avoid looking at whether Zhang Shou had given him any hints -

-Although he felt that his answer should be pretty good, years of experience prevented him from building up much confidence.

But he still tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Both my father and uncle came from the army. If it were not for my father who fought bloody battles and risked his life to fight, he would not have the title and future he has now. Therefore, the glory and wealth of the family,

It is what my father deserves, and we, our children and grandchildren, can enjoy it. We are already lucky. Even if the income is uneven, there is no reason to blame others."

"Because if the father was still an ordinary soldier, then maybe there would be no son like Chen. Even if Chen could be born, he would probably be a child who had to earn a living from a young age and had to work barefoot at such an old age.

He is just a poor man who works and even begs for food. How much my father gives me and how kind he is to me is his intention, not his duty."

Even if his aunt was very powerful, she only suppressed him and never abused or harmed him or other concubines. Compared with the messy activities of other wealthy families, he was just ignored and left out. His father could still grow from a small soldier to what he is now.

Position, even if he does not have such courage and courage, will he not even be able to obtain food, clothing, and a well-off life in the future?

As Zhang Wu talked, he was sorting out his thoughts that had gradually been sorted out over the past few days. At first, his words were purely for outsiders to listen to, but gradually his sincerity was revealed. He suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Zhang Shou, and spoke word by word.

Said: "Thanks to the teacher's teachings these days, I finally understand."

Zhang Shou thought that Zhang Wu's words were just right. He immediately smiled and said: "Don't blame everything on me. You have such thoughts. It's because you have grown up, and it's also because of the classmates and classmates around you."

Friends have grown up, so everyone influences each other, and you will naturally become a butterfly."

Since he had expressed his initial resentment, shared his experience after growing up, and also praised him as a teacher, he was really comprehensive, so why did he just praise the students? Who made these words really good! Although

He doesn't entirely agree.

The emperor was used to seeing the overt and covert fights between the eldest prince and the second prince. When he heard Zhang Wu's answer, he had even more mixed feelings. Although he had met so many people before, many of them were far better than Zhang Wu.

Yes, but he felt that the question he just asked casually out of excitement actually brought a lot of gains.

"Okay, that's great. I'm surprised to hear such an answer!"

He pushed the armrest and stood up, and actually took two steps back and forth in front of the throne: "In this world, most people who are common people hope to become a queen and inherit the family business, so that they can be proud of themselves, but most people never

I have never thought about how their fathers, grandfathers, and even their ancestors came to have this business? It was not through hard work and hard work!"

"Complaining that your elders are unfair and what should be given to you is not given to you. In the final analysis, you have lost from the beginning. Because you have put yourself in the position of the loser from the beginning. Only losers will keep complaining about injustice. I think of Nanyang Marquis and Huai

When Marquis Qing was raised from a pawn to a Marquis, he was always a role model that countless people looked up to, but how many people know how hard it is to survive a near-death situation?"

After the emperor finished sighing, he suddenly sighed and sat back on the throne.

A low-ranking concubine can still rationally give up a family fortune that he could never inherit. But among those high-ranking legitimate sons, how many can give up the temptation of a great family fortune, and how many can?

Don’t you resent your father or even your mother behind your back?

The eldest son blames his parents for having too many sons and dividing the family property; the second son blames his parents for not having him two years earlier; the third son and the fourth son may also be dissatisfied in their hearts, why do their incompetent brothers want to sit on their heads?

Power brings blessing... Any family has to spread its branches if it wants to continue its bloodline, but the result of spreading its branches is often competition for the family business.

Even if the system of this dynasty divides the family property equally among the sons, the ancestral home and the fields are not divided, because this is the basis of clan inheritance.

Just like he can divide the property in the inner treasury equally among the princes, but it is absolutely impossible to divide the emperor's throne.

Realizing that even though he admired Zhang Wu, he could not solve the problem that he was now finding more and more difficult, the emperor finally lost interest, and then nodded lightly and said: "Zhang Wu, please work hard, I am very optimistic about you.

"

Zhang Wu was frightened and excited at the same time. He hurriedly knelt down and bowed down: "Your Majesty has made such a ridiculous compliment, and I feel ashamed that I cannot bear it. What I said just now is my true intention, but in fact I am not good at writing or military, and I have not really thought about my future."

How should it be? I can only say that I will try hard to follow the teacher to learn the principles of the world, learn how to deal with others, and learn how to manage the future."

Zhang Shou couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, then raised his head to look at the emperor, bowed and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, please forgive Zhang Wu for being a little incoherent when he met the emperor for the first time. What he said was true, but..."

"Okay, don't be hesitant. I heard it. He thinks you are a good teacher, so that's fine." The emperor smiled and nodded, and said with interest, "You just said that he has many helpful friends, and he also thinks that you are a good teacher."

Isn’t it great that I have a good mentor like you? Only when I have a good mentor can I broaden my mind. This is something that is beneficial to both of us.”

The emperor then asked Zhang Wu a few more questions, and finally suddenly ordered without looking back: "Liu Feng, go to Dongnuan Pavilion, wash out the plum blossom pen on my desk, and give it to Zhang Wu as a gift to me.

Praise him for his virtues as a son!"

Zhang Wu was immediately shocked, especially when he looked up and saw Zhang Shou showing a hint of surprise. He immediately realized that not everyone was rewarded, and felt ecstatic and uneasy at the same time. Then, the emperor gave the gift, and he did not dare to say goodbye, so he could only

He could kowtow and thank him. When he took the pen in his hand that was still a little wet even though it had been wiped, his heart felt even hotter.

This is something that the emperor often uses... He is so lucky!

Seeing Zhang Wu standing up to thank him again, his steps were obviously a little unsteady when he turned around and went out. Zhang Shou couldn't help but remind him: "Zhang Wu, keep your head up and chest out. The more you look at your feet, the easier it is to trip! Could it be that you want to give the imperial gift to you?"

If you drop something, will people laugh at you?"

Zhang Wu came to his senses with a jolt, first stopped and took a deep breath to adjust his breathing, then turned slightly sideways and bowed his head to thank Zhang Shou for the reminder, and then strode out the door.

Seeing that the door curtain fell and the person disappeared outside, Zhang Shou stood up and said to the emperor: "If this gift from the emperor is seen by outsiders, they will misunderstand that Zhang Wu has entered the Sacred Heart. If there is any gossip..."

Before Zhang Shou could finish his words, the emperor smiled and said: "I have already been blessed by the Holy Heart, otherwise how could I reward him with the brush I used? He is a good boy, no matter what he was like in the past, but at least now

My heart is now at ease. That kid from Deyang has always been cautious, so giving her a husband who is either enthusiastic about his future or wanton and showy has harmed him. I think Zhang Wu is good."

Zhang Shou was stunned. He remembered that Zhu Ying said that Princess Deyang had a good first impression of Zhang Wu. Zhang Wu himself said that the Lord was a blessing, but he did not dare to expect it. So he thought about it and asked Zhu Ying to tell the emperor

Let’s make certain things clear. So now, did the emperor choose his son-in-law based on his own opinions, or was it really a coincidence?

Seeing Zhang Shou's dazed look, the emperor couldn't help but laugh. Why do you think I asked Zhang Wu these things? Didn't I just listen to Yingying's advice? Since the person is not bad, it will naturally be settled. Thinking of it

Here, he raised his voice and shouted: "Okay, next one!"

After Zhang Wu, there was Zhang Lu. Because the Chief of Ceremonies had already received the order, the two people in front and behind him were staggered, so he did not meet Zhang Wu, and he did not know that Zhang Wu, who had always been regarded as a brother in need, actually received a rare gift from the emperor.

Reward. At this moment, he first saluted the emperor, then carefully glanced at Zhang Shou aside, and quickly turned sideways and bowed.

Seeing this scene, the emperor couldn't help but laugh and said: "You guys from Banshan Hall, everyone respects teachers, but you are not very surprised when you see Zhang Qing. Why, he has told you about this a long time ago."

?”

This question was the same as the one he asked Zhang Wu before, extremely sharp and tricky. Zhang Lu always had a slippery temper, but just when he was trying to rack his brains to evade the question, he saw the emperor looking directly at him, and he immediately panicked.

He said subconsciously: "Yes, the little gentleman has told us a long time ago..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that something was wrong. He didn't know how he, who was usually very good at adapting to circumstances, could suddenly make such a mistake, and he didn't even bother to scold himself for being stupid. He hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, it is the minister and others who

Mian Sheng was unsure, so he begged the young gentleman to give us some advice, but at that time Eunuch Chu came to send a message, and we happened to be there, and then we started to pester him and ask..."

Before Zhang Lu could finish his words, the emperor interrupted him and asked Zhang Shoudao: "They asked, Zhang Qing, did you tell them directly?"

"Because Eunuch Chu didn't say that the matter should be kept secret." Zhang Shou said calmly, "Moreover, they were not the ones who kept asking, but I took the initiative to tell them. Then I drove them away. They usually

I have always been said behind my back that I am a playboy with no future, so I thought that staying by the Emperor's side would give them some confidence, so I simply told them early."

Zhang Wu became more panicked all of a sudden: "No, no, the little gentleman couldn't bear our constant questioning, so he accidentally let it slip!"

"Sophistry!" The emperor beat the armrest angrily. Seeing Zhang Shou calmly stood up and bowed his head, while Zhang Lu gritted his teeth and knelt down as if he wanted to apologize. He suddenly laughed, "This matter was originally

There is no need to keep it secret, otherwise Chu Kuan would not be waiting to see Zhang Qing when a lot of you are gathered together."

As he spoke, he looked at the gray-faced Zhang Lu with a smile and said: "Zhang Lu, you are quite courageous. In order to protect your teacher, you actually dare to play tricks in front of me? With your teacher's character, if he doesn't want to say anything, don't

He said that you are stalking him, even if you punch and kick him, you can't pry his mouth open!"

Seeing that Zhang Lu's face turned from gray to pale, the emperor said lightly: "Master of heaven and earth, do you think you are putting master before you?"

"Chen...chen..." Zhang Lu trembled, and finally knelt down slumped, his forehead pressed to the ground, but he did not dare to say another word.

Even if he felt that the emperor was not such a strict person in the past, the emperor was always a changeable creature, so Zhang Shou did not dare to bet on what the emperor meant. He could only walk up to Zhang Lu and block the person directly.

Behind him.

"If your Majesty feels that Zhang Lu is at fault, first of all, it is the fault of the minister. He was not strict in teaching and was lazy as a teacher. Please consider that he is young and ignorant, and he is devoted to protecting the minister. Please forgive him this time."

Zhang Lu just felt that he was really stupid today, and instinctively raised his head and shouted: "Little sir, I said the wrong thing!"

The emperor looked intently at Zhang Shou, whose face was still calm. Seeing that Zhang Lu reached out to grab the corner of Zhang Shou's robe, he coughed majestically: "Okay, I'm just trying you two. Today we have another

It's not a report to the court, and it doesn't involve any major events, so there are so many mistakes. But Zhang Lu, you need to remember this lesson, one lie needs many lies to make up for it."

Zhang Lu felt like he was sweating like rain. Hearing the emperor's words, he dared not say even a single word. He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I have remembered this lesson, and I will definitely not forget the emperor's teachings in the future."

"Well, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good. It's not wrong to be a taboo for the venerable and take it too seriously, but the mistake is that you were intimidated by my power from the beginning and were confused." The emperor seemed to be concerned about this.

I was very satisfied with the effect of scaring people, and then I took the time to ask Zhang Lu a lot of questions, and finally nodded and said, "Liu Feng, go get the Xuancheng Zihao on my table and give it to him."

There is actually a reward? What the hell is this? Zhang Lu, who was sweating on his forehead, finally realized that thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. He didn't even bother to raise his head to wipe the sweat, so he hurriedly thanked him, but when he took Liu

When he thanked Feng again for the gift he had brought in a hurry and stood up, he stumbled because he was in a trance. He didn't come back to his senses until Zhang Shou reached out to help him.

Feeling the hand squeeze his forearm hard, Zhang Lu finally lost his confusion, but he was extremely ashamed. If he had known that he should be frank and honest as Zhang Shou had told him before, how could he have done it

Scared like that just now?

After Zhang Lu retreated, Zhang Shou calculated that there were still six people left, including Zhang Chen who was the last one and Zhu Er who was the second last one. Plus the other four, the six people were all from Banshan.

They were all the supervisors of the hall, and they had all stayed in the Cuiyun room. At that moment, he said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, all the students coming next are my students, so I'd better avoid suspicion and stop talking!"

"Why should Zhang Qing take it seriously? I just took a different approach and wanted to take a good look at these young men who were once considered to have no future." The emperor looked at Zhang Shou with a smile, and his tone sounded very sincere, "You can rest assured, then

I won’t scare anyone when I come down!”

Do you also know that this is scary? Zhang Shou secretly cursed, but under the emperor's gaze, he did not try hard after all, but sat back again. The emperor rewarded Zhang Wu with a pen wash, and the meaning was very clear, but he could reward Zihao to

Zhang Lu, what the hell does this mean?
