Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

"Nie Fate, Nie Yue!"

"How can we break this bad fate..."

…

Fang Xiaoru was at the dinner table, muttering worriedly while eating.

Snapped!

The sudden sound of banging on the table scared Fang Xiaoru to his feet.

The people at the table were all frightened.

Fang Xiaoru's father, Fang Keqin, glared at Fang Xiaoru with a black face, yelled and asked: "Are you provoking those dirty women in Yanhua Liuxiang!"

Fang Xiaoru watched his wife's face turn pale.

The younger sister's face was full of disdain.

The younger brother Fang Xiaoyou looked eager to give it a try, as if he wanted to take him to a deserted place and ask what fun there was in Fireworks Willow Lane.

Suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry, "Father, how could you do something so corrupt to the family tradition and so shameless..."

Snapped!

Fang Keqin interrupted Fang Xiaoru's words by snapping at the table again, "Then why have you been talking about bad fate and bad fate since you came home from court?"

"It's not a woman, it's with a man..."

man?

When Fang's father heard this, his body swayed violently for a few times, and he couldn't catch his breath. The next second, he suddenly stood up and said, "I'll beat you to death! You are actually with a man... Bah! Why did our Fang family have you like this?" A shameless thing that ruins the family tradition!"

"Dad, dad, listen to my explanation..."

ah!

"Dad, stop fighting, stop fighting..."

…

After a moment of confusion, Fang Xiaoru hid behind his wife in extreme embarrassment and pushed her to the front.

Finally, he used his wife to restrain his father's thunderous rage.

Father Fang held up the feather duster, panting, and yelled: "You and I have a clean break with that man! If you let me hear any more news, I will beat you to death, you beast!"

"It can't be stopped." Fang Xiaoru was so aggrieved that she almost cried.

Hearing this, Father Fang suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Fang Xiaoru knew something was going to happen, so he spoke very quickly: "This person is King Yan!"

Father Fang stopped raising the feather duster, the corners of his eyes trembled, and murmured in a low voice: "How could Prince Yan like this? How could he like you?"

Zhu Di:......

"No, dad, don't talk nonsense!" Fang Xiaoru was stunned and hurriedly explained: "This is what happened..."

…

"The King of Yan, in his own words, is very generous and doesn't hold any grudges in his heart, but he writes down things in a notebook for others!"

"The last time I went to Tuqiao Village, I went very early in the morning. I was very hungry. I also complained that the young master of the Xu family was too enthusiastic. I couldn't hold it back and ate the food cooked by King Yan himself. Then I went there in a very ungentlemanly manner. Deceived King Yan..."

…

"Now, the child has been sent to Jiangning County to serve as the county magistrate. This is not a bad fate!"

"Why didn't you make it clear just now!" Fang Keqin put down the feather duster, glared at Fang Xiaoru fiercely, and then told the others: "The matter of King Yan's masculine behavior is a misunderstanding. I will forget everything tonight!"

He had previously served as a magistrate.

It was also during the New Year's Day that he was transferred back to the central court by the imperial court and spent a few months idle.

Recently I heard rumors that the imperial court intends to let him serve as the prefect of Jining, Shandong. ☟

So I don't know anything about the second son.

Fang Xiaoru finally dared to come out from behind his wife. He rubbed the stinging spot on his back. His bad habit of being a bitch came back again. He muttered in a low voice: "You have to give me a chance to speak. If you slap me so hard, it seems like I Not your biological child..."

Fang Keqin slowly squeezed the feather duster...

Fang Xiaoru's wife noticed it and quietly tugged on Fang Xiaoru's sleeve to remind him.

Fang Xiaoru noticed that Fang Keqin's face was dark, his hand was holding the feather duster, and he shut up instantly.

"Sir, Mr. Lu Ben, the Minister of Rites, wants to see you." Just when the father and son wanted to teach their son, and the other was trembling and ready to run away at any time, the housekeeper broke the strange atmosphere.

The disgust on Fang Xiaoru's face flashed away, and she couldn't help but frown, "Father, you should be looking for the child. It's all because of the Jiangning County Magistrate. Let the child deal with it, and you don't want to show up."

‘Fat Jiang, we are all motherless children, we are all suffering, why should we suffer for each other! ’

Fang Xiaoru got up and went to the living room with resentment towards the recommender, Jiang Jinzhong.

There are many benefits to going to Jiangning.

But he really didn’t want to go at all!

…

Walk all the way to the living room, outside the door, a few steps to the side...

After stamping your feet, taking a deep breath, and putting on a smile, you walked quickly.

"Lord Lu, Xi has been neglecting me."

Lu Ben was drinking tea in the living room when he heard Fang Xiaoru's voice before he saw anyone.

Looking up, he saw Fang Xiaoru walking in hastily.

After Fang Xiaoru entered, he immediately apologized and explained: "My father has contracted the cold and has taken a rest. Please forgive me, Mr. Lu."

Lu Ben glanced.

When he came to Fang Mansion, the housekeeper of Fang Mansion told him that the Fang Mansion family was having dinner.

At this moment, Fang Xi said that Fang's father had caught the cold?

It was obvious that he was deliberately avoiding him.

Just avoid it.

Anyway, he wasn't looking for Fang Keqin.

Similar things happen every day in Jinling City, and no one will get angry because of such a trivial matter.

Lu Ben stood up with a smile and briefly asked about Fang Keqin's condition.

Under Fang Xiaoru's greeting, the two sat down again.

Lu Ben picked up the tea cup again, and smiled and congratulated while drinking tea, "Xizhi, I have to congratulate you. This is the first step you have taken as an official. This step is solid and steady. The future is infinite, Xu Xiang, In the position of Prime Minister Hu, there must be a place for Xi Zhi!"

‘Promise on behalf of the prince? ’

Fang Xizhi was secretly surprised at Lu Ben's boldness.

In His Majesty's current dynasty, he is definitely not qualified to sit in that position.

However, since the news of Zhu Silang's sprint test came out, it has been spread in the court that Zhu Silang will definitely take the position of Hu Weiyong and Xu Da in the Hongwu Dynasty.

But he was very suspicious that these rumors came from the person next to him.

Because such rumors would make Hu Weiyong feel wary and hostile to Zhu Silang.

This is a very good borrowed knife to kill someone!

However, he had no evidence to back up his suspicions.

"Master Lu is joking." Fang Xiaoru smiled modestly.

He didn't want to go around with Lu Ben, so he asked directly, "I didn't know Mr. Lu was visiting late at night..."

Lu Ben put down the tea cup, and Fang Xiaoru immediately became vigilant. ஜ۩۞۩ஜஜ۩۞۩ஜ

"Recently, the Jiangning Academic Affairs Department presented a statement to the Ministry of Rites touting their political achievements. There are nearly thirty children in Tuqiao Village, all of whom are qualified to pass the childbirth examination. They want to ask for credit from the imperial court..."

Lu Ben said while examining Fang Xiaoru.

Today I was scolded by the prince for being disrespectful.

He no longer dared to make a fuss about the rural village community.

But he would never allow nearly thirty children in Tuqiao Village to pass the childbirth examination.

The Jiangning local academic administration reported this as political achievements.

But this also brings glory to Zhu Silang.

Zhu Silang's limelight is already very strong and must be suppressed.

But as the Minister of Rites, he cannot directly give orders to the local academic administration of a county.

It would be most appropriate for Fang Xizhi, the Jiangning County magistrate who will take office tomorrow, to handle this matter.

…

Fang Xiaoru listened and understood, frowning slightly and feeling a little annoyed.

Even if there is a conflict with Zhu Silang.

There’s no need to involve a bunch of kids, right?

How underhanded!

"Master Lu, I'm sorry that I can't agree!" Fang Xiaoru endured his anger, stood up and bowed solemnly to refuse.

snort!

Lu Ben snorted angrily, his face instantly darkened, and he stood up, "Fang Xizhi, I know you have a good character, but if you are too stubborn to be an official, you will not only harm yourself, but also the prince!"

"Zhu Silang's limelight is too strong, we just want to suppress his limelight a little!"

Snapped!

After saying that, Lu Ben threw up his sleeves and left with a dark face.

He never expected that Fang Xiaoru would dare to reject him so mercilessly.

…

new

The next day.

After Fang Xiaoru said goodbye to Zhu Biao, he took his wife and young brother to Jiangning.

…

Tuqiao Village.

Zhu Di and the other three had just finished eating.

Mao Xiang stood up first and rushed to put away the dishes, "Master, I'm almost done. I'll take care of the washing of dishes from now on."

Zhu Di saw Mao Xiang tidying up quickly, holding the bowls and chopsticks, and limping away. He couldn't help but smile and said: "This sixth man is quite active."

The reason why Mao Xiang was named Mao Ah Liu was because of this guy who deceived him.

"I must be afraid that you will drive him away if you are unhappy." Xu Miaoyun joked with a smile.

Zhu Di smiled, helped Xu Miaoyun stand up, and looked at the weather outside, "Would you like to go out for a walk?"

During this time, Miaoyun had experienced sudden and sporadic labor pains.

Most of the time, I was in bed.

This is a very uncomfortable thing.

Xu Miaoyun looked out from the open door, smiled and nodded: "Well..."

As soon as the words rang out, his face suddenly turned pale. He tightened his grip on Zhu Di's hand and his body trembled violently. "Silang... it hurts... it hurts..."

It’s time to give birth!

Zhu Di was also a little panicked, but he kept calm. During this period, he had quietly rehearsed countless possibilities in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, take a deep breath..."

Zhu Di carefully picked up Xu Miaoyun and at the same time, spoke as calmly and comfortingly as possible.

Xu Miaoyun listened to Zhu Di's comfort and tried to take deep breaths. Although the pain was still severe, she was no longer so scared.

Zhu Di sent Xu Miaoyun back to the room. After lying down on the bed, he opened the window and shouted: "Uncle Amao, Da Ya may be giving birth. Go and call the fourth aunt over..."

Click!

The sound of bowls being broken came from the kitchen.

Mao Xiang's hands were wet, and he stood by the stove in a daze. At his feet, a bowl was broken into pieces.

"Ah good!"

After a brief moment of daze to regain his senses, Mao Xiang responded loudly, forgetting that the injury on his hip had not yet healed, rushed out of the kitchen in a few steps, and ran towards the fourth aunt's house.

On the road, running and shouting.

"From the fourth child's family! Our young lady is giving birth!"

"From the fourth child's family, our lady is about to give birth, hurry up!"

…

Mao Xiang's nervous voice alarmed the whole village.

Soon, the fourth aunt and others arrived.

After the fourth aunt arrived, Zhu Di was kicked out of the house and waited anxiously in the yard.

After a while, the fourth aunt came out and said, "Silang, according to aunt's experience, Da Ya is indeed going to give birth, but when will it be, it may be tonight or tomorrow morning. If you need to make any preparations, do it immediately." .”

Zhu Di turned around and looked for...

Uncle Eight stood up, smiled and reassured, "Silang, the carriage is ready. I will go to the county seat now to pick up Mr. Wang."

Shiro told him about this matter a few days ago, and he has been preparing for it.

Mao Xiang immediately said: "I'll go too!"

If he goes to the county seat and encounters something, Yang Laoba may not be able to solve it.

But he certainly can.

Zhu Di glanced at Mao Xiang and nodded.

Immediately, Mao Xiang and Uncle Ba rushed to Jiangning County.

…

It's approaching noon.

Jiangning County.

Fang Xiaoru arrived in Jiangning, and after a brief meeting with his colleagues in Jiangning County, he asked the Jiangning County Magistrate to take him straight to Jiangning County to study.

"Let me, let me..."

On the way, they met Mao Xiang and Uncle Eight who were driving a carriage anxiously toward the east of the city.

Mao Xiang and his eighth uncle were in a hurry to pick up Mr. Wang and did not notice Fang Xiaoru and his party.

When the county magistrate saw Fang Xiaoru being hit, he was forced to stop and observe. He felt a little thump in his heart and reminded in a low voice, "Sir, the person holding the whip is from Tuqiao Village. It is their village that wants to build a rural community."

This young county magistrate is said to have come from the East Palace.

It was obvious that he was eyeing this huge political achievement after the establishment of the rural village community and came to gild it.

A young man with such a profound background would be nothing without this political achievement.

But he is different.

His ordinary family.

He finally passed the examination as a scholar in the early years of Hongwu.

At that time, the imperial court was short of people, so he got the official position of county magistrate based on his status as a scholar.

Now, there is no such opportunity.

But because he was just a scholar, the county magistrate lasted seven years!

There is no sign of promotion at all.

If the local village community in Tuqiao Village is successfully established, there is a high probability that he can use this political performance to become a county magistrate in a lower county.

Therefore, he did not want the county magistrate to be at odds with Tuqiao Village.

‘Hey, it would be great if Mr. Chiang was here. Thanks to the relationship between Mr. Chiang and Mr. Zhu, the rural village community would be built, and Jiangning County Government would be able to benefit from it, up and down. ’

The county magistrate suddenly missed Jiang Jinzhong very much.

Fang Xiaoru glanced at the county magistrate and basically figured out what he was thinking. He took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "It turns out they are from Tuqiao Village. Seeing their appearance, they are very anxious. They sent someone to see what happened. If we can help , just help."

‘Oh, this stupid young man is self-aware and knows how to behave! ’

The county magistrate looked at Fang Xiaoru in surprise, slandered, and said hurriedly: "Cao Da, go and find out!"

Fang Xiaoru looked at the county magistrate's excited expression and smiled, "Let's go to school."

…

School.

Fang Xiaoru met with Jiangning Xuezheng and got the papers for the children in Tuqiao Village.

The academic administrator carefully introduced: "Sir, there are a few children who have very good basic knowledge, but their writing is a bit loose. Of course, the most important thing is that these children are young and their handwriting is not good enough."

"According to the rules of previous years, this can be passed."

Fang Xiaoru carefully looked at the answer sheets selected by Xuezheng.

The basics are really good.

There are very few errors.

Especially the annotation part is very good.

‘Zhu Silang and Xu Daya taught so well! ’

Fang Xiaoru ventriloquised, checking several children's articles.

The handwriting is indeed a bit poor, and the structure of the article is also a bit loose.

To sum it up, it is okay to pass, but it is also okay not to be given a pass.

Jiangning's academic administration certainly hopes to pass. All the children in a village passed the child examination for the first time.

As for local academic administration, this is their achievement in educating the people, and they can ask for credit from the court.

Jiangning Xuezheng has already lost face.

He had seen truly shameless cases.

If a child prodigy comes out of the local area, the local academic and political authorities will take credit for it.

It seems that this child prodigy was born by some local academic and political figures on behalf of his parents.

Lu Ben didn't want all the children from Tuqiao Village to pass, and he also had his own small thoughts.

Where are Zhu Silang and Xu Daya?

How will they choose?

Fang Xiaoru raised the test paper in his hand and said, "Can I take these test papers with me for a while?"

The scholar was a little embarrassed, but in the end he nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes..."

"My lord, my lord..." Fang Xiaoru had just finished speaking. Cao Yamen, who was sent to inquire about the news, rushed into the room panting and said hurriedly: "I heard that Mr. Xu is about to give birth. Uncle Eight is here to pick up Wangji Pharmacy. Mr. Wang."

Fang Xiaoru looked at Cao Yamen in surprise.

Mr. Xu? Eighth uncle?

From the title of Cao Yamen, he once again felt the influence that Zhu Silang and Xu Daya had on Jiangning County despite being in Tuqiao Village.

It is understandable that the county magistrate wants to achieve political results.

But what is Cao Yamen doing?

My understanding of Zhu Silang and his wife is still too shallow!

Fang Xiaoru gathered his thoughts and immediately ordered: "Prepare a horse for me. I'm going to Tuqiao Village, so don't follow me."

Afterwards, Fang Xiaoru took the papers of several children and went straight to Tuqiao Village alone.

Please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
