Chapter 168: Chase my master back quickly!

Yingtianfu Hope Primary School.

Although Zhu Yunxi has not been here for three days, everything in the primary school is running normally. Not only is there no stagnation, it seems to be more harmonious and more like a private school than when he was there.

The gentlemen who came from the Imperial College are dedicated to their duties, and each of them strives to educate every student well.

The scientists and craftsmen who studied the chiming clock worked hard and worked hard. Even if the chiming clock could not accurately tell the time, they still persisted in the forefront of scientific research.

A new gunpowder-driven plowing tool design institute and a portable tubular gunpowder launcher research institute also made breakthrough progress and successfully built the first model.

Looking at the entire Hope Primary School, there were only three old men whose faces were full of worry and full of nostalgia for Zhu Yunxi.

"well!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu has not been here for three days..."

"Tell me, could something happen to His Highness King Wu?"

Yang Xinlu immediately interrupted Gao Ming's crow's mouth.

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

"His Royal Highness King Wu is bound to live a long life. I am counting on him for the new version of the biography of the Zhao sisters!"

Gao Ming still asked unwillingly.

"Then why doesn't His Highness King Wu come? Could it be that the huge Hope Primary School is just his whim?"

Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo fell into silence after hearing this. They both had the same doubts as Gao Ming, but they were unwilling to think about it deeply.

Yang Xinlu was worried about his new version of the script, while Qin Hengbo was worried about not being able to learn the method of alchemy.

After the two struggled for a long time, they spoke at about the same time.

"How about we meet His Majesty and ask to be His Highness King Wu's disciples?"

After the two of them finished speaking, embarrassment flashed across their faces at the same time.

Because both of them have impure purposes, the so-called disciples are just excuses. One hopes to ask His Highness King Wu for book writing skills every day, and the other hopes to learn the proportions of various elements in the new alchemy method, the use of catalysts, etc.

Only Gao Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Through observation during this period, Gao Ming can basically judge that Zhu Yunxi is a wise master and has lofty ambitions.

Otherwise, how could he recruit so many customers?

There was just one thing that made him unhappy. Zhu Yunxi even liked the students of the Imperial College, so why did he never take the initiative to recruit him?

"We have been here for a while, and His Highness King Wu has never recruited us. Does he look down on us three bad old men?"

Yang Xinluo also showed a trace of confusion after hearing Gao Ming's words.

"Can't you?"

"The three of us dare not say that we are famous all over the world, but at least we are household names. His Highness King Wu has no reason to look down on us!"

"Do you think there is a possibility that His Highness King Wu doesn't know us at all, or has never heard of our names?"

After Qin Hengbo said this, Yang Xinluo and Gao Ming were both stunned. They had never thought about such an issue before. However, recalling His Highness King Wu's attitude towards them during this period, the more they thought about it, the more they felt it was possible.

"Lao Yang, don't you have some old friends in the court? Can someone remind His Highness the King of Wu in a subtle way?"

After Yang Xinluo heard this, he thought for a moment and said.

"I do have a disciple named Huang Zicheng. I heard that he is currently teaching at Dabentang, but I don't think highly of him. I just think that this person is a bit too utilitarian and eager to achieve success in his work. He may cause trouble in the future.

"

"Then do you know anyone else?"

"I think about it..."

"Is Qitai okay?"

"I used to teach in the main hall, and was transferred to the Ministry of Rites as a minister some time ago. I should be able to talk to His Highness King Wu, right?"

"That's great!"

"There is a widespread rumor that the Jin Mei Ping manuscript was written by Qi Tai, which proves that the relationship between the two is unusual!"

"Then I will go find Qitai now?"

"Let's go together!"

"Anyway, it's okay for us to have nothing to do. We just happened to go meet our rookie from Yingtian Mansion!"

The three of them had decided on their plan, and immediately got into the carriage and headed straight to the Rites Yamen located at East Chang'an Gate.

…

Rites Yamen.

Zhao Mian, the Minister of Rites, looked at Qin Kui who was almost going crazy with anxiety, and reluctantly spoke to persuade him.

"Qin Shangshu, it's useless for you to stay here with me. Yang Xinlu is a contemporary celebrity and a leader in the Jiangnan literary world. My thin noodles are of no use at all!"

Qin Kui also knew that Zhao Mian did not lie, but what the Emperor said was too scary. If he could not invite Yang Xinlu to become an official, then he would really have to move rocks!

"Zhao Shangshu, you must save me. Even if you don't come forward to help, at least give me an exact address so that I can find the person!"

When Zhao Mian heard this, he was in trouble again. He knew the address of Yang Xinluo. He had also secretly visited the Yang family's residence in Jinling City. But he knew Qin Kui's character too well. Once he was told where the Yang family was,

, he might be able to rush in with the servants from the Ministry of Works and kidnap people.

"this……"

Originally, Zhao Mian wanted to put it off a little longer until His Majesty would forget about it, and the matter would be settled.

However, at this moment, Jin Yiwei sent an oral order, asking him to invite Yang Xinlu to be an official within three days, otherwise he would be asked to move bricks with Qin Kui.

As soon as Qin Kui heard this oral instruction, his face immediately blossomed with joy.

Now he is not in a hurry, it is Zhao Laoguan's turn to be anxious, hahaha.

"Zhao Shangshu, you are busy first. I will go home and tidy up first, prepare a few pairs of shoes that fit my feet, and wear-resistant clothes. I won't bother you here anymore!"

"Qin Kui!"

"You Sangmenxing, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

When Qin Kui heard Lao Zhao's scolding, he laughed loudly and left the Ministry of Rites and returned to his Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

After Qin Kui left, Zhao Mian immediately called all the servants from the Rites Yamen to his duty room and said straight to the point.

"His Majesty has just sent an oral order that our Ministry of Rites will invite Yang Xinlu to serve as an official within three days. If we can't do it, then all the people in our Ministry of Rites will be driven to move bricks under the city wall!"

"Now that I have finished transmitting the edict, the rest depends on your ability."

"If you can't do it, then get ready to move bricks with me!"

When several ministers from the Ministry of Rites heard this, they all turned pale with fright.

If another emperor had said such cruel words, few officials would have taken it seriously. But Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty was different. A few years ago, he really punished officials to repair the city wall because they were late!

It had only been a month since Qi Tai had been the Minister of Etiquette. It could be said that his buttocks were still hot. When he heard this, he was completely confused.

If he was driven to build the city wall, wouldn't his career in this life be over?

Just when Qi Tai was so worried, the official below suddenly ran over and said that someone was looking for him outside. Qi Tai waved his hands absentmindedly.

"Didn't I tell you earlier?"

"Anyone who claims to be my relative or old friend will be kicked out!"

Ever since Qi Tai became the Minister of Rites, no matter whether it was at home or in the Yamen, many relatives and friends would always come to visit him. Some asked him to do things, some invited him to eat and drink, and some made excuses to find out which province he would go to host his studies next year.

political.

Qitai has very high demands on himself and does not want to ruin his future because of these trivial matters.

"Master Qi, that man claimed to be your master. He is too humble to make decisions without permission due to his humble position, so he came here specifically to ask for instructions..."

"Master?"

"Where did I get my master from?"

When the officials below heard this, they immediately understood that another group of liars had arrived outside the door, and immediately turned around and left.

Yang Xinluo was standing outside the Rites Yamen, bragging to two old friends.

"I'm not bragging to you two. If that little kid Qitai knew that I was coming, he would definitely welcome me..."

Neither Qin Hengbo nor Gao Ming were accustomed to flattering others, so when they heard Yang Xinluo's boasting, they didn't feel the slightest disturbance in their hearts.

Seeing the two people's attitude, Yang Xinlu thought they didn't believe it, so he hurriedly swore to the sky.

"If you don't believe me, just wait. If the middle door doesn't open later, I, Yang Xinluo, will have your last name!"

As soon as Yang Xinlu finished speaking, he saw the middle door of the Rites Yamen opened wide. Seeing this, Yang Xinlu couldn't help laughing proudly.

"What did I just tell you two? That little kid Qitai will definitely receive me with the highest standards if he knows I'm coming, hahaha..."

However, just as Yang Xinluo laughed twice, he saw a dozen officers holding water and fire sticks suddenly running out of the door of the Ministry of Rites.
