022 One Prosperity
The deepest cry and feelings in his heart finally affected Shen Yichen's reason now, otherwise he would not have said such words.
However, as the deeper the affection with his mother Shen, Chen Yichen now can understand the pain hidden in his heart and the long-awaited "father".
"Chen Yichen, be arrogant!"
After being stunned, he recovered and Zhu Yong scolded him sternly. As the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, even the legitimate son cannot forget his superiority and inferiority and speak like this to him, let alone a maid like Chen Yichen.
This scolding also made Chen Yichen feel much more awake. Now in the Ming Dynasty, Ji Gang’s human relations are the rules of social operation, and his actions are simply a traitor.
"Mr. Master, I am a junior who is over the rules."
After reason prevailed, Chen Yichen had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake.
"snort."
Duke Cheng snorted coldly, seemingly very dissatisfied, but in his heart he was very satisfied with Chen Yichen's bow.
This kind of satisfaction does not show the authority of the superiors. With the status and power of Duke Cheng Guo, there is no need to find a sense of existence in a small shrimp like Shen Yichen.
Instead, Chen Yichen can quickly control his emotions and make progress and retreat appropriately. With his current age, he is so steady.
Even though this maid has not been recognized, it is his own blood after all, and having a promising future is better than being incompetent.
"When did you have such knowledge?"
Zhu Yong's tone became much softer, and the aura of the superiors of the Duke and Marquis was also calmed down.
"It started with discovering that my mother had gray hair on her sideburns."
"Is this a bad thing for your mother?"
With Zhu Yong's experience, we can naturally hear something from Chen Yichen's words.
"I don't dare to go back to my grandfather."
Although he didn't dare to speak, Chen Yichen's tone was very tough, and he was indeed unfair to Shen's family.
Not to mention the moral standards of later generations, even if this kind of "scumbag" behavior in ancient times was considered a complete "scumbag" behavior.
As soon as he said that, Chen Yichen began to stir up trouble in his heart again. He confronted Zhu Yong like this and probably wouldn't have any good results later. But when he remembered that Shen's daily hard work, his white hair was growing in his temples, and his silent efforts for himself, he felt a sense of anger in his heart.
Chen Yichen was mentally prepared to be punished, but he didn't expect that after Zhu Yong was silent for a long time, he sighed and replied: "As a son, it's not an exaggeration to have such an idea."
Is this letting me go?
It was beyond Chen Yichen's expectation that he could say such words with Zhu Yong's tough personality. I wonder if he was also in his heart and owed a little to Shen.
"Since you are not acting today to enter the genealogy, it is just to gain a good reputation in the imperial examination, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Yichen did not deny this time. With Zhu Yong's ability, it would be a matter of time sooner or later to think of this. It would be meaningless to deny it again.
"I really underestimated you before."
Zhu Yong said meaningfully, he really didn't expect that the abandoned maid would be so different from the two, and he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow for a moment.
"I will go to the capital soon and lead my army to mongols north, and I may not return home in a short time."
"If you want to make progress in the imperial examination, I can submit the court to ensure that you are a student in charge."
The so-called supervisory student is a student who studies in the Imperial College, or can be understood with a simpler modern thinking, which is equivalent to studying at a top public university.
In ancient times, there were generally four types of students: those who were admitted to the prison were called Gongjian, those who were appointed as Yinjian, those who were admitted to the prison were called Yinjian, those who were admitted to the prison were called Yinjian, and those who were appointed to the prison were called regular prisons.
Among them, Yinjian can obtain the qualification of a supervisor without taking the exam, and can skip the college entrance examination for the scholar and directly take the provincial examination for the juren. For a "school child" like Chen Yichen who has not even passed the exam for the child, it is equivalent to skipping from elementary school to university.
And the meaning is more than that. The willingness of Duke Cheng to recommend it as Yinjian means that Chen Yichen will become a child of a bureaucrat. Even further, it is equivalent to telling Chen Yichen that you will include it in the Zhu family genealogy and become the prince’s concubine!
Even though Chen Yichen had never held the luxury of entering the genealogy, when he heard Zhu Yong's words, he looked at him with shock and felt a little incredible.
Why did the Chengguo Guild suddenly change his mind because of his own poem today?
“It’s a surprise?”
Seeing the change of expression on Chen Yichen's face, Zhu Yong was not surprised at all.
For Chen Yichen, this is not only an identity, but also a lifelong glory, wealth, food and clothing. Even if you have no achievements in the imperial examination in the future, you can still rely on the Duke and the concubine's son to obtain a noble official. It is normal to be shocked and unexpected.
"Um."
Chen Yichen nodded and replied.
"The reason is very simple. You have the mark of the Duke of Cheng's Mansion and you will prosper together."
In addition to his father's identity, Zhu Yong was also the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, so he always represented not only himself, but also the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion and the entire Zhu family.
Since the reign of Taizu, many heroes and relatives have been taken away from their titles. It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. No one can guarantee that the family will always be prosperous and stand tall.
So what Zhu Yong could do was to make the clan relatives and talents emerge as much as possible, and then maintain the development of the entire family. This is why, as a general, he attached so much importance to family education.
In the past, Chen Yichen was really unable to support the wall, and he was also a maid who was in the genealogy, so Zhu Yong gave up later. But now he has discovered the potential of this son. If he continues to ignore this piece of uncensored jade, it will insult the Duke of the Ming Dynasty's vision and strategy.
As for the estrangement between father and son, it is a joke to the Duke and Martial Family. From the moment Chen Yichen was born from the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, it means that no matter what the relationship in the future, they will all prosper and lose together!
"really."
Chen Yichen smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. Zhu Yong said it too clearly and could understand it without thinking.
My performance today shows the value of being invested. Moreover, bloodline cannot be changed whether you accept it or not, especially in the ancient society that ruled the world with filial piety.
To express it in the simplest and most brutal sentence, one day Cheng Guogong was killed and nine clans, could he avoid it?
"If you figure it out, prepare it and go to the capital with me in a few days."
After saying that, Zhu Yong waved his hand and signaled that Chen Yichen could leave. His meaning was expressed very clearly, so there was no need to say more.
"Mr. Xie is very kind, but the younger generation still wants to get fame and fortune by themselves."
What?
For a moment, Zhu Yong wondered if he had heard it wrong. Chen Yichen didn’t want this opportunity to reach the sky in one step, so he chose to rely on himself?
"I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to act so aggressively."
Judging from Chen Yichen's previous words, he felt a sense of injustice. However, using the scholar's aura on such things is destined to be difficult to achieve great things in the future. It seems that he gave up.
"The master misunderstood. The younger generation is not acting voluntarily, but their ambitions are not limited to the supervising students!"
After saying this, Chen Yichen raised his head and looked straight at Zhu Yong's eyes. At this moment, his ambition, or to put it bluntly, had a naked ambition burst out.
Because Yinguan seems to be a shortcut, but the world is relatively fair. Often, what you get is something you have to pay in other aspects.
