.    Zhu Changluo's six lecturers are very interesting. They were all designated by Zhu Yijun in the list of ministers selected by the cabinet for Zhu Changxun. Almost everyone is loyal and forthright, dares to give advice, and firmly supports orthodoxy.  ¡ª¡ªThat is, Zhu Changluo is from the East Palace.  The cabinet's intention was very simple. They wanted to use these famous "silly youths" to slowly influence Zhu Changxun in words and deeds. However, they did not expect that with a stroke of Zhu Yijun's pen, they all became Zhu Changluo's lecturers.

    These six people are Jinshi Fang Congzhe and Guo Zhengyu who were Jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli, Tang Wenxu and Gu Yuncheng were Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Wanli, and Jiao Hong and Dong Qichang were Jinshi in the seventeenth year of Wanli.  The literary talent of the six people is also good. Except for Gu Yuncheng, who was born in the same third list as a Jinshi, the others were all Jinshi. Tang Wenxian and Jiao Hong were also the number one scholars in their subjects.

    " Gu Yuncheng never thought about and did not dare to think about the possibility of becoming the emperor's eldest son.  If Wang Xijue had not said a few words for his radically worded policy paper during the palace examination, he might have become an extremely rare candidate for the palace examination. After learning the reason, he was grateful and worked with him from then on.  Wang Xijue walked closer.

    Probably based on this, when Wang Xijue's "Three Kings Confessed Together" decree came out, Gu Yuncheng, who was the head of the Ministry of Rites at the time, was so sad and angry that, in addition to Shangshu's firm opposition, he went to Wang Xijue's residence to tearfully explain the pros and cons to him, hoping that  He was able to turn around quickly, which angered Wang Xijue.

    Fortunately, Zhu Changluo intervened in the matter indirectly. Wang Xijue was moved by Zhang Yongnian's words and understood that Gu Yuncheng also had good intentions. Later, he did not care about Gu Yuncheng, who was half of his student, and still selected attendants for the two princes.  At that time, Gu Yuncheng, a man of integrity and integrity, was placed on the candidate list of Zhu Changxun's attendant lecturers, hoping that he could "influence" Zhu Changxun.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Zhu Changluo knew a little about Gu Yuncheng through the history books he had studied in later generations. Although he also knew that the authenticity of the history books about the Ming Dynasty was highly controversial, but like some historical books that did not involve historical evaluation and were biased  Other basic information still has certain reference value.

    The history books speak highly of Gu Yuncheng, one of the "Eight Gentlemen of Donglin". However, Zhu Changluo will not look at anyone differently just because the history books speak highly of him. He has now basically given up the impression he left on historical figures by reading history books in his previous life.  It¡¯s okay to just refer to your impression, but if you really want people to take a high look at you, you have to show your true ability.

    Through contacts in the past few years, Zhu Changluo still recognized the character of his six attendant lecturers.  I also admired the cabinet's accuracy in judging people at that time. They were indeed specially selected to add chaos and influence to Zhu Changxun!  I just didn't expect that these people would eventually become my attendants, and I don't know whether it was a blessing or a curse in the end. But one thing is certain, these people's stance on supporting him to become the prince will never change.  Before, they would spare no effort to support themselves.

    "Sir, do you know Yang Hao?"

    That day, after Gu Yuncheng finished explaining the Book of Songs to Zhu Changluo, Zhu Changluo suddenly asked.

    "Yang Hao?" Gu Yuncheng thought for a while and asked with some confusion: "Your Highness, are you talking about Shandong Councilor Yang Hao?"

    Zhu Changluo smiled and nodded. He learned that Yang Hao and Gu Yuncheng's eldest brother had been dismissed from their posts and returned home in the 22nd year of Wanli. Gu Xiancheng, who was running Donglin Academy, was both a Jinshi in the 8th year of Wanli.  Just ask.  The reason why he inquired about Yang Hao was because Zhu Changluo knew that Japan's second invasion of Korea would start again at the end of this year. According to historical records, Yang Hao would be the Korean manager of the Ming Dynasty's second war to aid Korea.  Records like this are still infallible in history books.

    "We are relatively familiar with each other. He and my brother are in the same year. They were both Jinshi in the same discipline in the eighth year of Wanli. We often move around a lot with my brother. As we go back and forth, I will get to know him." Of course Gu Yuncheng would not be stupid to ask.  Why Zhu Changluo asked about Yang Hao was not something he should know.

    Zhu Changluo laughed and did not continue to ask about Yang Hao. Instead, when he was leaving the Wenhua Palace, he casually said to Gu Yuncheng: "Sir, if Yang Hao comes to Beijing for business some time ago, please introduce him to me."

    Gu Yuncheng was just stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will take this matter seriously."

    Watching Zhu Changluo leave, Gu Yuncheng frowned and thought for a moment before making a decision.  Although Zhu Changluo just said it casually, Gu Yuncheng, who had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, knew that it would not be so simple. If there was nothing wrong, how could the eldest prince "accidentally" ask about Yang Hao?  Still want to get to know him!  It seems that I am going to send someone to Shandong to test Yang Hao's behavior.If possible, let him find a way to come to the capital for "business".

    After leaving the Wenhua Hall, another of Zhu Changluo's companions, Wang An, reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, just now Laoying Laoqianshi sent someone to inform the servant that he has gone to the grass field to wait for Your Highness. He said that His Highness ordered him  The matter has been done, but there are too many people here, so it is not convenient to report to His Highness in detail, so I went to the pavilion specially set up for His Highness to rest in the grass field."

    "Oh?" Zhu Changluo's heart moved, he waved his hand and ordered: "Prepare your horses and go to the grassland!"

    A few years ago, Lao Ying and his Jinyiwei Qianhu Post were sent to the Korean battlefield, specifically responsible for collecting intelligence on the Japanese army.  Later, Japan was defeated by the Ming Dynasty and attempted peace talks. This was in line with the wishes of many ministers in the Ming Dynasty.  After all, Ming Dynasty spent most of its meager savings over the years fighting to the death for North Korea and Japan. It was not cost-effective to consume a lot of manpower and material resources. As long as Japan was willing to withdraw its troops, it would not care about the crime of a small barbaric country invading a vassal state.

    Lao Ying¡¯s Qianhu Station was almost the last group to withdraw to the country, but North Korea still left two Jinyiwei Hundred Stations responsible for collecting intelligence.  Zhu Yijun rewards according to his merits. After Lao Ying received many material rewards, his position was promoted and he directly became a fourth-rank Jinyiwei command officer. He can also be regarded as one of the most powerful figures in Jinyiwei.

    In this Korean battlefield, Lao Ying's Jinyi Guards Qianhusuo could be said to have been through life and death, and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.  Almost most of the intelligence on the battlefield was collected by his Jin Yiwei, which helped Ming avoid a lot of unnecessary losses and was also one of the important factors that enabled Ming to fight more with less.

    However, Lao Ying, who returned to the Ming Dynasty and was promoted two levels in a row, was actually not as good as he seemed.  Although he jumped from a fifth-rank Qianhu to a fourth-rank command official, his actual power has not been strengthened much. The only people under his command who really listen to his words are the Qianhu gang who have been with him through life and death on the Korean battlefield.  Thousands of brothers in there.  As for the newly assigned Thousand Household Offices that he was in charge of, he would not listen to him at all, because these Thousand Household Offices had always been directly under the jurisdiction of his current boss, the Jinyiwei Commanding Officer.  There are thousands of households with the same person commanding them. How can they listen to him?

    Lao Ying knew very well that the other several thousand households said he was in charge of it. In fact, to be honest, it was not an exaggeration to say that those few thousand households were responsible for monitoring and guarding against him. After all, he had long been regarded as a  Although the fact is that the eldest prince is a person.

    Reaching out to touch the information that people had found these days, Lao Ying felt a little sad. He didn't expect that the guy who was so eloquent on the Korean battlefield, dealt with the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country, and was treated like a hero would actually be such a person.  !  Fortunately, I have been responsible for intelligence on the Korean battlefield for many years, and I am quite familiar with collecting personal information. I have not been blinded by the information he has deliberately processed. I hope His Highness will be satisfied with the information he has found later!
