"It's all the emperor's love for his son. He was afraid that his highness would be lonely and lonely alone, so he made a special trip to choose his companion for him." Liu Jin said carefully.

Shou Ge raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there still a lack of people by his side? Isn't there still a big companion, Zhang Hui, Zhou Shi and others, and Shen Rui and He Taizhi and others outside the palace..."

Liu Jin said: "Zhang Weiwei and Zhou Weiwei are young masters of noble families. Even if they are loyal to His Highness, they will inevitably be tied to their family. Mr. Chen and Mr. He are a scholarly family. They have a lot of writing and think a little more. I think I am afraid that Your Highness will suffer, so I have worked so hard."

Listen to this, full of loyalty.

But Shou Ge's face drooped.

Yes, whenever he has any worries, Liu Jin is in his ears with "loyal" advice, but he is more and more rebellious to his parents and elders.

But this sentence makes it so true that even if it is spread to the imperial court, it will be remembered.

Although Shou Ge was the lord of the Eastern Palace, he was young after all, and the emperor was the one who really had the final say in the palace.

Since the emperor knew Liu Jin's loyalty and steadyness, he relied more and more on him. Although Liu Jin was not the first to serve the East Palace, he might have squeezed everyone else down and became the number one person around the East Palace. It would be impossible to say that without the emperor's support.

Brother Shou had never thought about this before, just thinking that Liu Jin was the most sensible and was mostly convinced of his words. If it weren't for Yang Ting and his private comments, Brother Shou would never have doubted the people around him.

Now this sense of shame that being fooled in other people's hands makes Shou Ge extremely embarrassed and angry.

However, no matter how innocent the children grew up in the palace are, they are a few scruples. Brother Shou did not have an immediate attack, but just thought carefully about what Liu Jin said.

Although Liu Jin's words imply provoking, they are not without reason.

Zhang Hui and Zhou Shi, the Jinyiwei Guards, as noble children, prosper and lose together, and it is indeed difficult to escape the family ties. Even if they are loyal to the royal family, it will not affect the interests of their family marriages. Civil officials are the imperial examinations. He was born and had a glory in the imperial examinations and was more loyal to the imperial emperors. However, as he became an official for many generations, civil officials gradually became a network of favors.

Compared with the children of civil officials and military generals, will there be no interest in choosing adopted sons and grandchildren of those eunuchs from poor families?

Brother Shou laughed a few times in his heart, but his expression calmed a lot.

In the past ten years, there have been fewer people who want to get to him? Even if the emperor does love his son, in the eyes of these eunuchs in the palace, it may be a good time to fight for power and profit.

Brother Shou is the future emperor. If he really wants to be his companion, he will never be able to escape his future.

The eunuchs are eunuchs, and except for being the eunuchs who are guarding the country, they can only walk in the inner court. The eunuchs adopted sons and grandsons are not eunuchs. Whether they are civil officials or military officials, as long as they are attracted to the eyes of the future emperor, everything is possible.

As the prince of Shouge, how could he like those common people who gave up their blood relatives for money and wealth and were willing to be the sons of the common people after the eunuch?

However, he covered his disgust and showed some fun, saying, "What Daban said is that everyone has selfish intentions. Although Zhang Hui and Zhou Shi were always respectful, they were too involved behind him; Shen Rui, He Taizhi and the others now do not know their identity as an orphan, so they do not involve interests. If they know their identity as an orphan, they will inevitably have other thoughts... However, the candidates chosen by the father were taught by eunuchs everywhere in the palace. Needless to say, loyalty is beyond the scope of the outside world. There is no involvement in Chao. Gu should take a good look, but he may have Gu Future's arms inside..." As he spoke, he showed a little expectation and yearning, but he was paying attention to Liu Jin from the corner of his eyes.

Liu Jin's expression was indeed frozen, but he quickly adjusted and said, "I don't know which boy is lucky enough to get into the eyes of His Highness..."

Shou Ge said with great anticipation: "There is no better son than father. Since the father specially asked someone to choose, everyone must be good..."

Liu Jin's expression became more and more stiff, but he squeezed out a smile and said, "Your Highness thinks like this... Although the emperor is a little worried about Your Highness, he is the love of his son..."

Shou Ge has retracted his gaze and feels much more relaxed. With Liu Jin here, he should not bother with other things. His great companion, who entered the palace when he was young, was also a person who was in a state of depression and three slump. He once committed a death sentence and could escape the disaster

Later, he was placed in the East Palace. As a convict, he excluded the old men of the East Palace and gave up a place. He gained the trust and respect of the most noble father and son in the world. He was not an ordinary person.

No matter who it is to choose the adopted eunuch to be his playmate, Shou Ge doesn't want to accept this "good intention". There are many eunuchs in the palace, and he is surrounded by eunuchs. If another group of eunuchs are integrated with the interests of eunuchs, he will be

If he wants to isolate his closeness to Zhang Hui, Zhou Shi and others, then he, the prince, will become a puppet in the hands of the eunuchs.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

The incident of selecting companions to the Eastern Palace, which was stirring up in the forbidden city, finally came to an end. Not only were the eunuchs who walked around, but wanted to send their adopted sons and grandchildren to take the time to take their time, but those who had no adopted sons and had their own grandchildren outside, but they had their own sons and grandchildren outside.

Many eunuchs and young disciples have failed to plot against each other.

The East Palace is still in the old pattern, and there are no new people around His Highness.

However, the adopted sons of the eunuchs who were chosen before were found to be inappropriate by the East Factory, which made the emperor furious. Even the father and ancestor of the cheap eunuchs were eaten.

Brother Shou got his wish, but he didn't feel happy, but was shocked. Although he had heard of the eunuchs taking power for a long time, he knew that Liu Jin had a lot of connections in the palace, but he didn't expect that he could handle the matter like this.

Yu Jinglisuo, even the emperor was kept in the dark. You must know that Liu Jin is not even an eunuch now, and he only has the position of a young prisoner.

When nobles contact each other, they have relatives, and clans and in-laws form a network of relationships. Civil officials have formed various interest alliances based on their relationships in the same year, fellow townsmen, and fellow families. Among the internal officials, it is not uncommon to form cliques.

Although Shou Ge was secretly frightened, he did not show any of his face and was still innocent and innocent. He still treated Liu Jin as usual and allowed him to control the affairs of the Eastern Palace. However, in private, Shou Ge began to pay attention to other close servants in the Eastern Palace. Even if he didn't know what to do, he was not aware of.

He is close to him, but he also remembers all those who have a rift with Liu Jin and pays attention to his character.

Shuntian Prefecture School, before the monthly exam list.

Shen Rui was not surprised to see that his name was still listed as the October monthly exam results, ranking second. Last month, he was a few months away from the provincial school. Even though he did not forget to study on the road, he could go to school with him.

Teacher Li was different from the professor. It was not surprising that the monthly exam score fell from the first level earlier to the second level. Even the teaching instructions who taught them homework were just encouraged to catch up with the learning progress of his classmates as soon as possible.

But then, Shen Rui took half a month off due to Shen Jue's sorrow, not to mention speeding up his learning progress, and delayed for half a month without the mind to study.

Reading books means "when sailing against the current, you will retreat." Not to mention that Shen Rui's idea of ​​reading the Four Books and Five Classics is limited. It has only been six years since then. It will take half a year to lose to classmates. The foundation is not solid. If you don't do anything for half a month, you will still do it when you start.

Being awkward.

Since Shen Rui knew that he was not enough, he rubbed his wrist quietly.

Before the monthly exam, he was not diligent, but he also wrote three articles every day. He was always distracted and could not bear to see the articles he wrote. It was not until these few days, otherwise he would not say it was two. Wait, you may not fall to the third or fourth time.

He was not sad about autumn and the moon. The reason why he was impetuous these days and could not learn his homework was also hit by the unexpected sorrow of Chen Jue. He thought of himself, and he was studying hard, and he didn't want to be fame, but he didn't hold on to him. The patriotism and loyalty to the emperor are just to enable oneself to become a scholar class, hold authority, and live more freely. However, things in the world are impermanent, and if you really want to catch up with "birth, old age, sickness and death", everything will be empty.

He was confused for a moment and didn't know whether to enjoy life or continue to study hard.

However, this monthly exam reminded Shen Rui. Just as the words he used to persuade Chen Jue to read books for half his life, he was delayed and failed to achieve success or fame, so he could only hide the care of his elders in the family, but one day he Is it better to be unreliable? Or to be ruthless and gain fame and fortune, regardless of the future, but can be independent. Compared with the former, the latter is naturally more in line with Shen Rui's heart.

Shen Rui thought about the provincial examination period in his heart, but threw all his sad thoughts of remembrance behind his mind and focused on reading.

At this moment, someone said, "Ha, isn't this the deceased leader? But he got the first place again?"

Shen Rui looked in the voice and saw Wang Ding wearing a gorgeous dress with a proud look on his face surrounded by several classmates.

Wang Ding looked at the list and saw Shen Rui's name at the second-class position, but his face was not surprised. It was obvious that he had received the news.

He sarcastically said to his left and right: "It is said that real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and those stupid copper and iron will naturally reveal traces. Some people really don't need to be polite, but they are just villains who rely on their power to do so. In a word, "Jiang Lang has finished his talents, he is praised for his talents." In this way, some people are originally covered with gold and bronze, and it is not surprising to reveal their true face..."

Although the classmates next to him flattered Wang Ding, they also knew that Shen Rui was the son of the minister and the top scholar, and he was not easy to offend, so they just hummed and no one dared to answer the conversation.

Wang Ding has been using the name of the junior relatives of "Zheng Guoqin" for the past few months, with the royal family, he has been used to being flattered by his servants and servants. Now he is unable to come to Taiwan. His eyes look at Shen Rui become more and more unkind.

Shen Rui just thought he was a mad dog, so how could he quarrel with him in person? He glanced at Wang Ding lightly, then moved away his gaze and continued to look at the list.

In order to avoid Wang Dingfeng for a while, Liang Yao took leave and went home, but he still had to take the exam for the monthly exam. Shen Rui was looking at his grades, and he was still in third grade, but his grades did not drop. He was in the palace school. It's just a mid-range tournament, but it won't delay the end of next year.

Although Suli thought Liang Yao was a little noisy, he was not here now, and Shen Rui missed him a little nagging.

It was posted because of the list, and many students are looking at the list here.

Wang Ding's provocation fell into everyone's eyes. Although Shen Rui was indeed second-rate, everyone had different ideas and fair-minded people knew that Wang Ding was making trouble. They were all classmates, so who didn't know that Shen Rui had something to do at home? I took a half month off in January.

Some people are not concerned about their own affairs, and some people are worried and said to Wang Ding: "Chen Hengyun is just a first-class decline and will not hinder the autumn examination next year; Wang Xianggong has been in the third-class for several months. If you don’t rise up and chase after, you have to wait for the next subject to enter the autumn examination..."

When everyone heard this, they thought of this and looked at Wang Ding and were gloating.
