The old man's words successfully attracted everyone's interest. After all, the "apprenticeship of the Grand Secretary" seems ethereal, and a screen worth five taels of silver is not cheap!

Not to mention "Miss Two Zhang", even Cao Dingjiao and Wei Xuelian were quite interested. This would be the most suitable thing to win back and give the girl he liked. .

A group of people stared at the last puzzle and were ready to go.

Zhu Xu was also quite curious. As the one who was in the bottom of the box, it was naturally more difficult than the one before, which aroused his interest.

The group of people stared at the old man's hand with bright eyes, waiting for him to tear off the covered white paper.

"Okay, that's it." The old man tore off suddenly and said with a smile.

Zhu Xu and others looked up and saw a line of poems.

‘Look at the south and face to the north. Elephant worry is also worried, and Elephant joy is also happy’.

"What is this? What to beat?" A man was confused when he looked at the line of poems and had no idea.

"Yes, there is always a point, right? Otherwise, there is no way to guess just by these few words..."

"Who did this come from?"

The group of people started to make noise. These few poems were full of no end and had no support, so everyone had no way to guess.

The sister of 'Miss Er Zhang' also looked at the old man and said frivolously, "Old man, there should be a prompt?"

The old man shook his head and smiled, saying, "That's what the person who gave me questions is like, there is no prompt."

"No prompt?"

The "Miss Two" looked at each other, and they were confused.

Others were even more confused. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack, endless.

Zhu Xu looked at the question and smiled strangely across the corner of his mouth. He had read it and knew the answer!

Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian and others frowned and thought hard. In just four short sentences, they didn't know the meaning or the inside, and they could only guess randomly based on their feelings and had no clue.

The old man stood there, looking around with a smile, feeling distressed. When he arrived at Zhu Xu, his expression moved slightly and said, "Young Master, have you guessed it again?"

‘Why are you touching me again? I’m just a spectator…’

Zhu Xu took out his ears and was very helpless. He couldn't live in peace no matter where he was.

Sure enough, when the old man finished speaking, everyone looked at him. This time, he did not sarcastically and looked at Zhu Xu curiously.

Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian and others around Zhu Xu also looked at Zhu Xu, some looked surprised, and some were really surprised.

"Miss Er Zhang" both opened her eyes and looked at Zhu Xu. The younger sister whispered: "Sister, is this a talented man from our capital? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The sister shook her head gently, her eyes were full of confusion, and she whispered: "It may be from Jiangnan. I heard that two of the four talented men in Jiangnan have entered Beijing."

The sister blinked and said, "It's not like it. He looks like a native of the capital."

My sister is also not clear. Logically speaking, all talented men who show their reputation in the capital should be able to compare one or two, but this person seems to have never appeared before.

"Maybe it's because of the fact that the reputation is not visible..." Before the sister finished speaking, her pretty face changed slightly. They were talking about it and heading towards them.

"Like that screen?" The person who had just whispered in their mouths came closer and smiled gently.

In broad daylight, the two sisters were not afraid. Before they could speak, the man with a gentle smile and a special mature taste said again: "If you like it, I will give it to you. I have guessed the answer."

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they burst into laughter.

"Little brother, it turns out that it is to give gifts to the beautiful woman. I've said it earlier, so we won't snatch it..."

"Yes, yes, a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood, don't forget to invite a wedding banquet..."

"Two ladies, this young master Sheng Yi fist, why not just continue..."

A group of people followed suit and Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao and others didn't say anything, knowing what was going on. However, Wei Xuelian chuckled in Cao Dingjiao's ear and said, "Old Cao, the young master you protect is really extraordinary."

Cao Dingjiao did not dare to respond, that mysterious emperor in the deep palace and murderous!

The two sisters were curious at first, but then the sister stared at the man and said fiercely: "Dengtu, whoever wants your things, I will ask someone to beat you if I don't leave!"

My sister pursed her lips. Although she didn't say anything, her pretty face was displeased.

The Dingtuzi in their eyes did not leave. He pinched his chin and looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "You two sisters look almost exactly the same."

This is simply teasing in the street!

Both sisters looked angry, and the servants following behind them leaned over. Before they could speak, the disciples in their eyes had turned around and left casually.

The sister grinded her silver teeth, stared at the man's back, waved her fists and hummed, "You run fast, otherwise you will definitely be hit by a pig's head!"

But the sister was not excited, and her beautiful eyes pondered, and suddenly said to the old man in front of the stall: "Brother-in-law, is the answer to the mystery a mirror?"

The old man was stunned, then looked at Zhu Xu's back who had already walked away, and smiled and said, "Is it the young master who reminded me?"

The sister's pretty face turned red and she said, "Yes. But we don't need the screen, thank you, father-in-law." After that, she pulled her sister around and quickly left.

Before the sister could react, she took a few steps and grabbed her sister and said, "Sister, what's wrong? Why do you have to leave? How good is that screen..."

My sister ignored her and looked at the man who could still see it not far away, but she always felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it.

The sister looked at her sister's expression and wondered, "Sister, what's wrong? Do you know that disciple?"

Sister Zhang Jun shook her head and smiled and said, "Let's go. After coming out for a long time, my aunt should be anxious."

Sister Zhang Shu pouted, obviously not having fun, but she knew that there was something big at home recently and she could not cause trouble. She followed her sister reluctantly, muttering in a low voice, "Curse you, a disciple, will never marry a wife in your life!"

She blamed the "dengtu" she thought was the "dengtu"!

The sisters were walking slowly on the way back to the palace.

Zhu Xu walked slowly with his hands behind his back. The appearance of these two sisters gave his tense spirit a sense of relaxation and ease, and he couldn't help but want to enjoy it for a while.

Behind him, Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian and others.

Wei Xuelian was very confused. He didn't know why Cao Dingjiao wanted to follow him. He was so cautious and did not dare to breathe.

After a while, Zhu Xushen breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Wei Xuelian beside Cao Dingjiao, pointed at Cao Bianjiao and smiled, "Let me introduce you to me, this is Cao Bianjiao, the eldest brother of Cao Dingjiao. He is my guard. Guess who I am?"

Wei Xuelian's face suddenly changed drastically and he turned to look at Cao Dingjiao. He remembered that when he met Cao Dingjiao, it happened that the imperial guard Cao Bianjiao returned to Beijing. He also asked if Cao Dingjiao had any relationship with Cao Bianjiao, but he was fooled by Cao Dingjiao in a vague way.

Cao Dingjiao did not look at Wei Xuelian, so he raised his hand to bow to Zhu Xu and said, "Cao Dingjiao, the grass-roots, see the emperor."

Wei Xuelian could not care about the messy thoughts in his heart. He hurriedly said, "Wei Xuelian, a grass-roots man, meet the emperor." His lips were trembling. How could he have thought that any rich young man on the road would be the emperor!

Zhu Xu looked at Wei Xuelian and smiled and said, "Let's just flat."

Several people gathered together, this was the way back to the palace, which seemed a bit quiet.

Cao Dingjiao was calm, but Wei Xuelian was different. He didn't know how to let go of his hands and feet.

Zhu Xu looked at Wei Xuelian, tall, although he was a literati, but he had a military portrait. He smiled and said, "Wei Xuelian, I know you. The article you wrote was published in the Zhengyuan newspaper, which was well written."

Wei Xuelian didn't expect that the emperor would pay attention to an ordinary little person like him. He felt excited and felt a sense of intuition. He quickly raised his hand and said, "Thank you, the emperor, it's all for the people."

Zhu Xu helped his arm and said, "Your sentence 'If the administration is not clear, everything will be settled. The key to the new policy is to eliminate the ills' is my intention. When I first ascended the throne, I knew that 'governance of the country first'. The fall of a country is often the result of corrupt officials' and the accumulation of years..."

Wei Xuelian dared not think that his idea would coincide with the emperor. He bowed there, his heart was like a drum beat, as if he was about to jump out.

Zhu Xu could roughly guess his mood, smiled and said, "Your old Cao, I plan to send him to Wan County, where are you going?"

Cao Dingjiao didn't say anything, and he couldn't help his place. His uncle had already arranged it.

There is an uncle who is highly powerful and trusted by the emperor sometimes may not have a good life.

Wei Xuelian was so nervous that he couldn't stand steadily. He gritted his teeth and calmed down and said, "Caomin... wants to go to the Ministry of Justice."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. The Ministry of Justice now has a national criminal prison, including the constables in the yamen, and they are all under dual jurisdiction, which is indeed a powerful department.

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back and looked at the sky. After a while, he suddenly turned to look at him and said, "I plan to set up a corruption bureau under the Governor's General Court to specifically investigate corruption within the court officials. Do you dare to go?"

The Ministry of Justice is responsible for criminal cases and cannot play an anti-corruption role. The Supervisory Yuan supervises government affairs and monitors all officials, but the meaning is not so obvious. Zhu Xu wants to set up a special and very clear department to review internal corruption.

Wei Xuelian's face changed slightly. Such a yamen would probably make all officials in the world hate him!

After entering this yamen, let alone being promoted, it is a blessing to save your life!

Zhu Xu was not in a hurry and just looked at him quietly. This man in history would rather die than surrender!

Others all realized that the danger of this yamen would offend the entire officialdom. Once they took office, their career will be cut off and life and death will be in vain!

Cao Dingjiao was determined to advise his friend that he would really break in with his honest temper, and he was afraid that he would not have a good ending.

Wei Xuelian's face was constantly changing, and he also felt the risks, his face twitched constantly, and he didn't say anything for a long time. I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly looked up at Zhu Xu and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the people dare to go, serve the country and the people, clean up the administration, cut off blood, and never regret death!"

Zhu Xu's eyes twitched, took a deep breath, and said with satisfaction: "Okay! Just use this courage to you. I give you a privilege unless it is a serious crime such as treason. I promise that you will not die, not be imprisoned, not be punished, and not be implicated in your family!"

Wei Xuelian's heart twitched violently, knelt down violently, and shouted: "I thank the emperor for his kindness, and I wish to go through fire and water for my Ming Dynasty, and never give up!"
