Chapter 4: The Poison Dragon's Tie Ears to Harvest Thunder (14)

Xu Dun, whose courtesy name is Jingxing, was from Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture.

Speaking of which, he was a distant family member of the Duke of Wei in Nanjing. However, at this moment, he could not write two characters Xu in a single stroke. As long as he really had a talented plan, Xu Yunzhen would never refuse to recognize such a relative. However, as a child of the Duke of Wei, he traveled thousands of miles to the Duke of Ding in Beijing for a meal, and there was naturally some hidden information.

How noble is Xu Yunzhen's identity? He was granted the title of Prince Taibao a few days ago and was destined to become an important official across the dynasty. There are not a thousand or eight hundred poor relatives who live in their own family. Where can I hear about an unknown Xu Dun?

"Butler! Why don't you invite Mr. Xu?" Xu Yunzhen believed in the trust of the people without doubt and made a decision.

The Xu family housekeeper ran so hard that he spanked his heels, and did not dare to delay at all. He went to the staff room to search for the records of the visitor. After all, he found Xu Dun's residence and couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

This person, who seemed to be a lie-in-law, actually lived in the lower room at the mansion, almost the same as the servants. They are all places where people who can't do anything and eat nothing left to live.

Such a person is actually a talented person?

A hair oozed out of the butler's forehead and said to himself: With the respect of the master, someone will definitely take the blame for the arrogant and talented people later. I don't know who is so unlucky. The gods, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Heavenly Lords all over the sky, just bless me not to involve me.

Since he found the place where Xu Dun was settled, the housekeeper naturally rushed over without stopping.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the place, he didn't see Xu Dun. After asking around, he realized that this person had the habit of visiting the overpass. Now he was sure to watch juggling tricks near the overpass. The overpass said it was big or small, and gathered people from all walks of life who came to Beijing. Now the plague disaster among the people is gradually fading, and the originally desolate streets have become more popular.

The butler thought that instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, he simply walked around the door of Xu Dun's room and found neighbors to ask about his character and talent. The people living here are all people who want to be promoted but cannot. If you can talk to the noble butler, you will naturally know everything.

What's more, Xu Dun has a very poor popularity. If he can step on him, no one will have any psychological burden.

The butler listened for an entire hour and finally knew why Xu Dun was divided here.

This person is not well-versed in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he can't even speak official language.

Huang Ming's official language is Jianghuai Mandarin. As a native of Kunshan, he originally belonged to the Jianghuai region, but he only spoke Kunshan local dialect, which made people too lazy to talk to him again after a few words. However, Xu Dun is a rebellious person who refuses to bow his head, and he looks arrogant and disgusting. It is already a strange thing not to be driven out of the mansion.

Of course, it was a blessing for the butler, otherwise he wouldn't know how to hand in the country.

"Mr. Xu is back!" The servant ran to the butler panted and said as if he was seeking credit.

The housekeeper put down what he was doing and sighed, "Let's go and meet this high-class talent." He only thought that high-class talent was above his top and was hard to talk to. Maybe he knew that the Duke had invited him and played some tricks of visiting the cottage three times. The hardest thing was those of him who ran errands.

However, Xu Dun said lightly to the good face given by the butler: "Oh, please lead the way."

Things went so smoothly that it was completely out of everyone's expectations.

When Xu Yunzhen finally saw Xu Dun himself, he was quite disappointed, but over the years, Pili Chunqiu made him hide this disappointment very well. Duke Dingguo retreated from the housekeeper and left only Xu Dun and the previous friend who recommended Xu Dun in the study. The three of them happened to discuss major events.

Xu Dun looked at the friend of the curtain quietly, and said quietly: "Spending bricks to attract jade. Since the bricks have been thrown out, there is no need to pick them up."

Xu Yunzhen looked at the friend who was flushed and wanted to speak, but suddenly understood what Xu Dun meant.

"Mr., the previous conspiracy was indeed because the students listened to Xu Jingxing's comments." The friend of the scene did not expect that Xu Dun ignored the face-to-face feelings and wanted to expose his plagiarism in person. He quickly confessed and earned some face.

"After recommending talents, he will make great contributions." Although Xu Yunzhen felt that Xu Dun was so inhumane, he did not dare to show Xu Dun his face at this time, but said quietly: "Please pay 50 taels of silver for the account."

Although the friend of the scene was regretful, fifty taels were not a small amount after all, and it was also considered the income from this speculative issue, so he had to say goodbye.

Xu Yunzhen looked at Xu Dun and saw that the clan's relative was wearing a white-washed Taoist robe and had a good face, and he was obviously living a difficult life. However, facing the fifty taels of silver thrown by the prince, he was still calm and unmoved.

"Jing Xing is also the descendant of the King of Zhongshan, so you and I don't have to see you." Xu Yunzhen asked Xu Dun to sit down and asked, "Have Jing Xing started school?"

"I took a prison student a few years ago." Xu Dun said briefly.

"Well... Regardless of the article in the imperial examination, Jing Xing's failure to meet the master's Qingyan may not be able to do so." Xu Yunzhen saw that he asked the other party's weakness, and quickly helped to explain it.

"I don't mind writing those eight-legged classics." Xu Dun had a sneer on his face.

"The art of making art is indeed not learned by a talented man!" Xu Yunzhen felt that it was really hard to chat with this person, so he went straight to the point: "I have heard of Jingxing's method of treating symptoms, and I still need to ask for advice on the root cause."

"The way to cure the root cause is nothing more than the Eastern Palace." Xu Dun spoke Kunshan dialect and spoke very fast, regardless of Xu Yunzhen's frown.

"Your Majesty is stubborn, and the plague has resumed after the prince returned to the palace last time. This time, I'm afraid it's hard to say anything to let the prince return to the palace." Xu Yunzhen was quite disappointed, and his expectations for Xu Dun were reduced a little.

"Let the prince return to the palace? Humph, the foolish man's opinion." Xu Dun said without hesitation: "Can you block the prince back now, what about the true dragon and the sky behind the heaven?"

Xu Yunzhen was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, even if it doesn't matter if the prince is guilty now, what if the prince ascends to the extreme? Although he is strong and healthy today, no one can stand the torture of time, and the prince will eventually become the emperor. At that time, if the new emperor wants to bring up old accounts, who can stop him? If nothing else is said, just pass on a casual oral order, your children and grandchildren may not be able to inherit the title!

"Is it impossible to imagine that the prince slaughtered ministers like this!" Xu Yunzhen also said anxiously.

"Theory of Epidemic Prevention" was read by His Majesty the Emperor, and the basic principle of isolation and epidemic prevention has also been verified by facts. At that time, ordinary people, merchants and small officials accepted this policy, and even if someone opposed it, they could not withstand the fact that the plague was indeed under control.
