The fifth rank thousand households that were treated as treasures by Zhu Yisu and his son were indeed not worth much. Let alone the orthodox civil servants, even petty official who had read a few books would not be interested in them.
Zhi Prefecture only became a matchmaker for Lee Family because of Zhu Hongzhao's transcribed scriptures. If one had to talk about severity, He Zhi Prefecture valued Zhu Hongzhao's knowledge and temperament even more.
As for Zhu Yisu, he was a level 5 Martial Disciple. Although he was an Elementary Scholar and had a scholarly appearance, he was now a Martial Disciple. A Martial Disciple that even people in the prefectural level looked down upon.
Since the Ming Ying Sect's earth and wood castles, 230 thousand elite soldiers had been completely wiped out. Even the military officials and kinsman of the emperor with immortal feats s with Ming Dynasty were completely annihilated. Without the help of these illustrious martial artists, the scholars' group would naturally try their best to suppress the status of martial artists. For no other reason than to subdue the warriors and make them listen to him.
The imperial court had to be balanced. The Han Dynasty was divided into four camps, namely, the imperial court, the outer court, the rich and the eunuchs. The court was out of business, so there wasn't much business in the East Han Dynasty. At the end of the Spirit Emperor period, the emissaries and eunuchs perished together, representing the warlord Dong Zhuo to go on the stage and fight against the Wealthy Class. The two sides faced each other and the Han Dynasty lost the game.
It was just like the current Ming Dynasty. The warriors were toyed to death by the Emperor of Ying Zong, the clan was bound by the empire, and most of the outsiders were honest people. They simply could not stand up in the imperial court. In this way, he would be fighting the eunuchs, who represented the interests of the emperor, and the literati, who represented the big business owners. The emperor was the mediator.
The internal Donglin Party of scholars are also fighting with Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, and Qi Party. Each one of them fights for the sake of fighting, so if you agree with me, I will oppose it. For example, protecting the interests of the big landlords and the big merchants was also the same as protecting their interests.
The resources of the imperial court were limited. As they fought, they did not forget to suppress the martial artists. It was true that martial arts were needed to protect one's family and defend one's country, but this group of martial arts were also the ones who went free and wreaked havoc. The group of literati who controlled public opinion and the Emperor who was unintentionally raised caused the status of the martial artists to drop lower and lower.
Today, a small petty official didn't even bother to look at him. He was wholeheartedly toasting that small secret service of the Ming Dynasty flag, which made Zhu Yisu very angry.
The lamb dish didn't move at all, letting the chill go cold and the smell of the food waft in the air.
Zhu Hongzhao was wearing a white cotton jacket. After eating a little and seeing that his father had left, he followed him out.
As the father and son walked along the corridor, Zhu Yisu sighed and said, ”Today, I was looked down upon by an ignorant official. It is difficult for a gentleman to be a gentleman if one does not know it. ”
”If father feels humiliated, your son will kill that fatty to vent your father's anger.”
The seriousness in Zhu Hongzhao's words made Zhu Yisu smile. ”It's not worth it. My son's future is bright. How can he destroy his own future because of such a small matter?”
”So father has a lot of people. Why do you have to be angry about it? ”If you get angry and your body breaks down, it's not worth it even if you get hungry.”
Zhu Hongzhao walked his father back to his room, closed the door and said, ”Uncle Ning Yuan is middle-aged. He must have had a hard time in the world, so he rolled his eyes at the officials. ”Look at the current eastern and southern parts of Liaoning province, although Lee is a general of the martial arts world, her fame has covered the entire world.”
When Zhu Yisu heard this, the gloom in his heart dissipated. He said, ”Uncle Ning Yuan came from nowhere, so we are indeed following his example. I, your father, will not seek to live beyond the ninth birthday of Uncle Ning Yuan, nor seek for my reputation to shake the world. I only hope to save up a sum for my son. ”
Ning Yuan Bo was Lee Chengliang, a very powerful and monstrous man. After inheriting the inheritance of the Iron Ridge Guard in his forties, he had advanced by leaps and bounds to become the Emperor of eastern and southern parts of Liaoning province, which Lee claimed was the family of generals. In the real family of generals, the nine sons were either General Officer or Commander, strong and robust.
In order to restrain the eastern and southern parts of Liaoning province, the imperial government had helped the Mai Gui Clan, which had the same Datong Town as the Right Guard, to rise up, and they were known as the 'General of the Ma Family'. The east and the west coexist, and is known as East Li Xi Ma.
And right now, the Datong Town had basically been controlled by the military official of the Right Guard who was the representative of the Ma Family. Cao Bianjiao and Cao Wenzhao, uncle and nephew, are from the same generation of Garrison Army officials of the Right Guard.
Zhu Hongzhao thought about the matter of the Ma Family General as he chatted with his father.
His clan's status meant that he would be treated like a pig in the Ming Dynasty. If he wasn't in the Ming Dynasty, he would be treated like a pig to be killed. At this moment, the two mighty generals, heng heng, are just dogs with wolf lineage. He had better looks and louder barks than the other dogs, and that was all.
Xinping Fort would become the home of father and son. It would be difficult for them to develop outwards, so they could only expand inside. To protect himself, he first needed a stable rear. It was clear that this Datong Town could only produce one voice.
Emperor Wanli was about to die, so the next person to succeed him should be his grandson, Zhu Yushu, the famous carpenter emperor.
During this period of time, he understood the structure of the royal family, and discovered that Crown Prince Zhu Changluo was still alive and well. He didn't know why, but he didn't know that there was an emperor called Zhu Changluo in his previous life, nor did he have much impression of him.
In short, the reputation of the carpenter emperor and the 9900 year old Eunuch Wei was well-known. Even he wanted to rely on his mechanical knowledge to make ingenious things to please the carpenter emperor, but it was a pity that someone else's identity could be given the chance to go to Shuntian. And a Zhu Family disciple like him, even if he stripped the clan records, he could not go.
Moreover, 9000 years old was so fierce. If he were to fight with him for the saint's chosen one, he probably wouldn't even understand how he died. This group of professional scholars from Donglin Party were all cleanly tidied up by the age of nine thousand. An unranked scholar like himself was like a pile of dregs in front of the nine thousand years who had never read a book.
He thought himself to be sinister and shameless, unable to compete with his Donglin Party. With the lesson of Donglin Party, Zhu Hongzhao gave up on the idea of entering the imperial court.
Seeing that his son was still lost in thought, thinking that he was still thinking about Lee Yuvniang, Zhu Yisu's worries disappeared. He revealed a tired expression and said, ”We still need to travel tomorrow. Erlang, rest early.”
