Chapter 187 All of them were beaten in the face!
In the West Courtyard of Zhangjia, an anxious and tense atmosphere was everywhere. Mr. Qin had already entered the West Courtyard and had not come out.
The gate of the yard was guarded by a group of large and thick guards, and everyone could not get close to it. No one knew what was going on in the yard now!
Zhang Chengxi had no idea at all. He came to the prefect Liang Quanyi and said, "Sir, the family is unfortunate. Who would have thought that this child named Lu had expanded to this point because he became a scholar? This time the prince was angry, and I hope that he would not forget to speak a few good words to the Zhang family!"
Liang Quanyi stared at Xijiaoyuan with his eyes narrowed and didn't even look at Zhang Chengxi. He said coldly: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think the prince is? Can my little prefecture speak in front of him have a weight?
If this matter is broken, your Xinhe County will first take responsibility. Are the students trained by your Xinhe such no-nostalgia and no monarch and father? How did you teach this ritual?"
Zhang Chengxi was speechless and was in a bad mood. This time, he wanted to rely on the "political achievements" of the imperial examination to go to another level and defeat the county magistrate of Xinhe County in one fell swoop.
He never expected that Lu Zheng had done something like this. He heard from the tone of the Prefect Liang, Zhang Chengxi's political achievements became a stain. He might be investigated after looking back. He couldn't help but feel cold.
Seeing Zhang Chengxi in a mess, Wu Fu said sarcastically: "Mr. Zhang, talent matters are never too urgent. They are eager for quick success and instant benefits, and to boost growth. That is to shoot themselves in the foot. Regarding this, Xinhe County needs to reflect on and deeply reflect on this!"
When Zhang Chengxi heard Wu Fu's words, he was so angry that he was almost exhausted. Song Jin came over and said, "Actually, Lord Zhang can't blame him entirely. The county magistrate of Xinhe County has always been Lord Nie. Now, Lord Nie has been promoted. When he turned around, he realized that his governance of Xinhe County was originally eager for quick success and instant benefits, and he was able to help grow!
If this matter had not been agitated by the prince, it would have been revealed. I think the prince was angry and I was afraid that he would have to investigate the matter to the end. Even if Lord Nie went to Yingtian Mansion, he would probably be blamed?"
Song Jin said this and brought Nie Yong in. Ma Xuewang and others on the side hurried over to discuss that the county magistrates of Xinhe County have always been resentful of Nie Yong's Gaosheng's affairs, but they have no chance, so they can only watch Lu Zheng take office. They have no choice but to do anything.
However, the opportunity came today, how could they miss this opportunity? Liang Quanyi looked at Song Jin and others coldly, and he felt annoyed.
He knew in his heart that if he couldn't handle this matter well and gave the prince of Qin an objection, his life would probably not be easy in the future. You must know that Liang Quanyi has just taken office, and there are many people behind him who are staring at him and making mistakes.
Liang Quanyi could no longer imagine what attacks and accusations he would face once this matter was broken.
"If you say a thousand, you will still be damned by the Zhang family! Lu Zheng's situation in the Zhang family is well known to everyone in the Yangzhou academic community. The Zhang family makes things difficult for Lu Zheng and even often ends up in crisis.
Lu Zheng has lived in such an environment for a long time, so how can his temperament be normal? This time he got the little Sanyuan again, and he was able to breathe a sigh of relief. He happened to meet this noble man from the capital who brought trouble. Isn’t this a disaster caused?”
Liang Quanyi thought this in his mind, thinking of a solution in his mind, and suddenly he felt a move in his heart. He had vaguely heard that Lu Zheng and Lu Zhulin seemed to have a different relationship. Did he start with Lu Zhulin? This matter might have a turning point?
Although the Qin Prince's identity is noble, it is not as special as the one in the Green Bamboo Forest. If that one is willing to come forward, there might be a solution to this matter!
As soon as he thought about this, Liang Quanyi carefully thought about how to ventilate the green bamboo forest, and how to use Lord Su Qing to make the prince recognize him well, and then retreat in the face of the difficulties.
Just as he thought of the critical moment, he suddenly heard a burst of screams from the entrance of the yard, and then he saw the group of guards with swords quickly move away from both sides.
Then, a scene that shocked the audience appeared.
The prince of Qin was wearing white clothes and walked out of Xijiaoyuan with a smile on his face. He was holding a thread-packed booklet in his hand, and looked extremely happy.
What surprised everyone even more was that behind the prince of Qin, Lu Zheng followed Lu Zheng, with his head raised and his chest raised, with a relaxed expression. The two walked out of the yard with friendly conversations, and how could they look like mortal enemies? They clearly had a great time talking!
Everyone heard the prince say, "Lu Zheng, your tea is unique, but it's a pity that there is too little. If you go back, you can make a little more so that I can take it back to the capital. My friends in the capital will definitely like it!"
Lu Zheng said: "That's easy. Anyway, I just finished the boy exam, and I happened to have a period of rest. I can do some more tomorrow and the next two days. I'll just send someone to Mr. Qin to you!"
After Lu Zheng said this, the person had already arrived at the door. He saw that the people outside the door were full of people, and subconsciously he was about to retreat.
Mr. Qin smiled and said, "Lu Zheng, don't panic! I'm here to visit you today, but some people seem to be very interested in this. Why don't the prefect Liang lead all officials at all levels in the eight counties of Yangzhou?
And the whole family gathered from the ancestors of the Zhang family. It was very lively, don’t you think it was?"
When Mr. Qin said this, everyone was stunned and could not speak.
It turns out that the prince came all the way with such a momentum. It turned out that he was here to visit Lu Zheng? Didn’t he come to treat Lu Zheng’s crime? What’s going on? Yesterday, Lu Zheng asked the prince to throw away his armor and run away at the court examination banquet. The prince was not angry, but came to visit Lu Zheng instead? This is really incredible, right?
Everyone was a little confused about the scene in front of them, especially the Zhang family. Zhang's mother had been trying to say that Lu Zheng was the root of disaster, but now seeing Lu Zheng chatting and the prince of Qin, the old woman could not speak at all.
Zhang Chengxi's heart was extremely complicated. From yesterday to today, the only thing he thought about was how to put Lu Zheng and the Zhang family apart, and never let the trouble caused by Lu Zheng affect the Zhang family, especially his career.
Just now, the words of the prefect Liang made him feel discouraged. However, now seeing the relationship between Lu Zheng and the prince, how could this be a disaster? It is obvious that Lu Zheng has met a noble person and is about to turn his fortune!
Lu Zheng hurriedly walked up to pay homage to all the lords. Liang Quanyi laughed and said, "Lu Zheng, okay, very good! I didn't expect you to be a master of tea ceremony. I will definitely ask you for advice when you look back!"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Liang Quanyi was the most happy and was overjoyed. Lu Zheng was blessed in disguise and was favored by the prince. This is really a blessing in Yangzhou. Liang Quanyi even had the opportunity to get in touch with the Qin Palace!
Liang Quanyi greatly encouraged Lu Zheng, and the other adults were extremely unnatural, such as Song Jin, Wu Fu and others. In their eyes, Lu Zheng caused a big disaster this time, and they felt very happy!
Lu Zheng’s appearance this time is very unfavorable for them. If Lu Zheng is defeated or even punished by the prince, they can turn the situation around. Song Jin even wanted to bite Nie Yong, who was promoted to Yingtian!
However, the current situation is like pouring cold water on them. Not only was Lu Zheng not punished, but his relationship with the prince eased and seemed to have a friendship!
Lu Zheng greeted many adults one by one, and then greeted Zhang's mother and the Zhang family's wives. The Zhang family was even more embarrassed. The old lady originally wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but thinking about her previous thoughts, she couldn't be embarrassed to say it.
But Hua Hanjun said, "Brother Zheng is successful in the future, don't forget your family. Your second sister-in-law, I still want to enjoy your happiness with you!"
Hua Hanjun is very beautiful, but fortunately, the Zhang family’s female family is far apart, otherwise it would be considered rude to face with many adults.
Finally, Lu Zheng's etiquette was completed. He walked to Mr. Qin again, and Mr. Qin said:
"Okay, since so many people are here today, I'm just right to say something! I've been staying in Yangzhou for a few days in the past few days. I haven't experienced the style of Yangzhou for many days.
In the next few days, I would like to invite Lu Zheng to accompany him. He is a talented man from Yangzhou. I think he knows enough about Yangzhou! His escort should not disappoint people."
After Mr. Qin said this, another commotion was caused. Everyone in Yangzhou exclaimed, "Lu Zheng was really a blessing in disguise. How great is it to be the prince's attention as a companion?"
From then on, Lu Zheng, the name of the number one talented man in Yangzhou, has to be confirmed! Looking at Yangzhou and even Jiangnan, has he seen a talented man with the style of Lu Zheng?
Lu Zheng punished the prince of Qin twice in a row, but not only did he not be punished, but was appreciated by the prince and became his escort. This is not to envy many talented men.
Once such a story is spread, Lu Zheng's reputation will immediately soar. From then on, who else in Yangzhou can compete with him?
There were many scholars at the scene, Zhang Haoran, Zhang Tang and Tang Zhen of the Zhang family were all staring at Lu Zheng. Their eyes were full of envy. Looking at that expression, I really wish I could replace it!
Mr. Qin paused slightly and said, "There is another thing I want to tell you too! This time I came to Yangzhou, thanks to the enthusiasm of Zhishui Academy, I specially gave me a good courtyard. I am very happy!
However, I will return to Beijing soon. Zhishui Academy is the number one academy in Yangzhou and is also the location of the prefecture school. Lu Zheng got the three yuan of elementary and medium-sized school this time, and it is a foregone conclusion to enter the prefecture school.
It just so happened that he was rewarded for offering books to accompany him this time. I specially gave him the courtyard of Zhishui Academy. From then on, Lu Zheng can study in Zhishui Academy with peace of mind. Lu Zheng, can you hear clearly?"
"My God!" Someone was already exclaiming in the crowd. Even the prefect Liang opened his eyes wide. The prince actually gave Lu Zheng a yard? And it was a yard in Zhishui Academy. Is this a reward too heavy?
Chapter completed!
