Father can be an enemy to the country

In fact, even if Zhu Zhen was not the King of Chu, his family must have been incredibly powerful. Otherwise, how could the Guozi School be as open as his own?

So to these ordinary students, it doesn't matter whether he is the King of Chu or not. Anyway, they are all beyond their reach.

But they were still curious about his purpose of coming to Guozi School. In the game of life, I have watched too much "Butterfly Lovers", but it is not fun here, and there is no Zhu Yingtai.

"Do you think I'm here for fun? You're wrong." After all, they had slept together for a month, and Zhu Zhen understood their thoughts very well. Then he smiled and said: "I am not that free yet. I have been ordered around by my father since I was thirteen years old."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Yan and Yang Shiqi and said, "You two must have heard about me at least, right?"

"Haha, yes." The two nodded, their smiles a little unnatural. They never expected that the big devil who made people cry in Jiangxi would be their roommate for a month and beg them for help with homework all day long. It's simply...

"Then your Highness is here?" Yang Shiqi hurriedly asked, "Is there any secret mission?"

"Haha Shiqi, there is a bright future." Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "You are right, I am here in compliance with the will of my father!"

Then he told them the whole story.

"That's it." Several people were very excited after hearing this. In their current world, there was nothing greater than what Guozi learned. Naturally, I wouldn’t think that the emperor’s sending of the prince was making a big deal out of a molehill.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" the brothers asked eagerly.

"There really is." Zhu Zhen smiled and pointed to several large boxes in the hall and said: "Here are all the accounts of Guozixue since its establishment. I have asked people to get them. You guys can help me check the accounts together."

"This is a big project." The brothers looked at the boxes full of account books and felt dizzy. "Of course it's okay to help, but we don't know how to check the accounts."

"This is simple. You are so smart. You will know it as soon as I teach you." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you guys can take the current course or not. You might as well learn a little bit about auditing from me. No matter where you go in the future. It’s useful for being an official. I wonder if you want to learn it?”

The word "auditing" has been around since the Qin Dynasty. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he implemented a strict financial system and established two departments, "accounting books" and "auditing", responsible for supervising the country's revenue and expenditure and financial status.

Scholars and scholars are naturally familiar with this. Knowing that if you master this knowledge, you will not be deceived by the people below, and your control over the yamen will be greatly improved. What's more important is that in the Ming Dynasty, which has a lot of troubles in officialdom, one will not be implicated to death by the people below in a daze.

They all wanted to be officials, so they were naturally moved when they heard this.

"I want to learn, I want to learn." Everyone nodded.

"Being able to worship His Highness as my teacher is really a blessing that a student has cultivated for three lifetimes." Dongyang Ma Sheng relapsed into his old habit and wished he could become his adoptive father immediately.

"Haha, okay, it's getting late today. Go back and have a rest early. I'll ask someone to give your class a leave. Come to work tomorrow morning." Lao Liu saw Deng Duo coming in with an official wearing an eighth-grade uniform. , and sent them back first.

~~

It was Assistant Professor Jin who came.

After the students left, he said unhappily: "It's so late, what's the point of Xuecheng looking for a subordinate?"

"Of course I understand the situation." Zhu Zhen asked Assistant Professor Jin to sit down and said straight to the point: "Then Zhou Buji was a student in your original class, right?"

"As far as I know, the case has been closed." Assistant Professor Jin frowned even more.

"But now there are new clues." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "Assistant Professor Jin doesn't want his students to die in an unknown way, right?"

"..." Jin Wenzheng looked at him for a long time, then asked: "Is this a formal question?"

"Of course." Zhu Zhen nodded.

Luo Guanzhong was already sitting behind the small table, holding a pen and preparing to write down his confession.

Jin Wen Zhengfang nodded slowly. "Excuse me."

"Don't be nervous, let's have a casual chat first, let's start with Zhou Buji." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

"Okay." Jin Wenzheng nodded slightly.

"Tell me something about him, for example, your impression of him." Zhu Zhen said thoughtfully.

"This man is from Shanxi. He is usually boring and doesn't like to talk much. He has not had any deep friendship with me for three years." Jin Wenzheng said carefully:

"Although he studies very hard, he has the common problem of students from the north who have a weak foundation. He always lags behind students from the south in exams. When he was promoted from the Monastery Hall to the Chongzhi Hall, he was in trouble, so he was not promoted to the Suxing Hall. It’s expected.”

"Well, I heard that he has a strong desire to repeat his studies. I must have expressed it to you, right?" Zhu Zhen said.

"Yes, he told the official several times that he wanted to study for another year." Jin Wenzheng nodded: "But first, the official felt that if he studied for another year, he would not be able to pass the exams of those southern candidates, which was actually a waste of time. Second Come on, the superiors ordered all the students who have not been promoted to move out of the school building and wait for their retirement. Therefore, even the lower officials cannot agree to him."

"Who instilled in him that the school was not going to allow them to re-study and would directly punish them as officials?" When Zhu Zhen asked this, his eyes were fixed on Jin Wenzheng. In the flickering candlelight, it looked terrible.

"This official has no way of knowing." Jin Wenzheng swallowed his saliva and said: "I don't know where this rumor came from, and it made people panic. I told him that the wine festival and Si Ye are still studying this matter. , It has not been decided at all. Alas, but he would rather believe those rumors than the words of his subordinates."

"You told him that you haven't decided yet?" Zhu Zhen raised his thick eyebrows, looked at each other with Teacher Luo, and Luo Guanzhong curled his lips.

Obviously, one of them, Assistant Jin and Zhou Zhaoji, lied.

This time, Zhu Zhen stood against Zhou Zhaoji. He said in a deep voice: "But what Zhou Buji's cousin Zhou Zhaoji said clearly was that his cousin was studying and preparing to repeat his studies at first, and then he collapsed after hearing this statement."

After a pause, Zhu Zhen said in a more serious tone: "And Zhou Zhaoji said that he asked his cousin where he heard the news!"

As he spoke, he slapped the crowd hard and said, "He said you were the one who told him!"

"One, that's nonsense!" Assistant Professor Jin was not frightened by his words, but was startled by his snap. "How could a subordinate say something like this to a student? Xuecheng has no evidence, so he can't accuse someone of his innocence out of thin air!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely find evidence." Zhu Zhen sneered: "Nearly half of the students in your original class were in the same situation as him. I don't believe you can only follow him and not the rest. The student said."

"I'm going to send people out and ask everyone if you have said such a thing!" As he spoke, he raised his voice and said, "If everyone says you said it, it's useless for you to deny it!"

"..." Assistant Professor Jin's face turned pale, and naturally he couldn't admit it and said, "What good does this do to me?"

"How do I know what's in it for you?" Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "But I know that the bullet to impeach Song Jijiu was written by you! Thirty-six academic officials signed it, and it was you Initiated!"
