Concubine Ding couldn't help but become nervous. She rubbed the silk handkerchief in her hand vigorously with her white jade fingers, fearing that if she did something wrong, the emperor would take Zhu Zi down and punish her.

But Zhu Zi gave an answer that surprised everyone. He spread his hands and said expressionlessly: "My son has never done anything."

Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and the next moment his face suddenly darkened, and he shouted sternly: "Impossible! If you didn't do anything, how did you help those people? You are so brave, are you still in front of me?

Want to cover up your quibbles?”

Concubine Ding couldn't sit still anymore, and quickly said to Zhu Zi with an anxious look: "Whatever you did, tell the emperor immediately. The emperor is your father, and as long as you tell the truth, the emperor will forgive you.

Oh~"

The last words were spoken towards Lao Zhu.

But at this time, Lao Zhu was staring at Zhu Zi and didn't care at all about Ding Fei's words.

Zhu Zi hurriedly explained: "Father, in the official performance appraisal, there are people who go up and people who go down. Even if I don't do anything, among those who come to see me, aren't there people who go up and down? Isn't it true?

As long as the money of the deposed person is returned to him as promised, and some ministers have tried their best, but his problem is too serious and they really can't help him. If these people are sent away, won't the others be able to do so?

Is it right to keep people’s money?”

"I don't have to do anything to get money for free. With such an easy way to make money, why should I risk the disapproval of the world and interfere in the performance appraisal of the officials?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was stunned. It took him a while to react. He pointed at Zhu Zi and said in disbelief: "It's actually like this. No wonder I checked here and there and found nothing. I thought you had used something."

The last resort is that you really didn't do anything, so no wonder I couldn't find it."

"My son will not do anything illegal or disciplinary." Seeing that his father understood, Zhu Zi suddenly had a smile on his face.

But in his mind, he thought about the disdainful expression on Han Du's face when he saw Han Du talking about officials' corruption: "The courtiers who make money by being corrupt are all trash. The Ming Dynasty Code was compiled like a sieve, you can use your fingers casually

One click can dig out a big hole. As long as you carefully study the Ming Law, you will find that there are ways to make money everywhere, and you will not break the law."

Other students did not take Han Du's words to heart, thinking that the gentleman was just bragging. But Zhu Zi knew who Han Du was, and he was able to live comfortably for four years in the academy by tricking and deceiving.

Incomparable, how could he be someone who follows the rules?

Things that follow the rules have no appeal to Zhu Zi, but Han Du's eccentric approach is very suitable for him. Therefore, from that time on, Zhu Zi paid attention to Han Du's inadvertent remarks.

Organize them into a book and study them carefully.

He even took the opportunity to ask Han Du some things that he was puzzled about by asking questions he didn't understand. Over time, Zhu Zi slowly mastered a knowledge that he thought was extremely interesting.

Therefore, after graduating from the academy, he directly proposed to his father that he did not want to secede the country, but only hoped to stay in the capital. Because his knowledge could only be put into use in the capital.

After Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, he asked: "Then they believe you so much? You didn't do anything, and they willingly gave you money?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhu Zi's response for several breaths.

Lao Zhu couldn't help but frown, raised his voice and asked: "Zi'er? What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" Zhu Zi suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously replied: "No, I didn't think about anything."
