Chapter 279 Entering the Palace to Meet the Saint
"You know, I'm in need of people right now, and I will definitely not let someone like you go."
"You believed that I would introduce you to Grandpa Huang, so you submitted the article to attract our attention."
Zhu Ming looked at Yang Shiqi and added to his words.
Yang Shiqi had already figured out the relationship between him and Zhu Song.
It's no wonder he could predict their movements.
"Exactly."
Yang Shiqi nodded again, agreeing with Zhu Ming's inference.
"There's one thing I don't understand."
Zhu Ming looked at Yang Shiqi who looked confident, but still felt puzzled: "You are already an editor of the Imperial Academy, so you have a promising future."
Although the work in the Hanlin Academy is simple, as long as one successfully graduates from the Hanlin Academy, one will become a high-ranking official in the court.
"Why did you go to such lengths to ask us for an introduction?"
Such a person already has a bright future, so why bother asking me to introduce him?
"If you read the books of sages, you will naturally do great things."
Yang Shiqi raised his head and looked straight at Zhu Ming, neither humble nor arrogant.
Slowly climbing up from the Hanlin Academy was too slow and he couldn't wait.
"I have long heard of your great name, and I think you can help me realize my ambitions."
His purpose was simple, which was to choose Zhu Ming and assist him in realizing his ambitions.
"How do you know that I will definitely introduce you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming chuckled again and asked back again.
"Because I know that His Highness is in need of someone right now."
Yang Shiqi remained confident.
"The Crown Princess and the Emperor's eldest grandson have great influence in the court. Your Highness wants to fight them without sufficient manpower. It is impossible."
"you……"
This time, even Zhu Ming was shocked.
He didn't expect that Yang Shiqi had already noticed this.
He also needed to arrange his own people in the court. A talent like Yang Shiqi would definitely be appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Yang Shiqi himself could also take this opportunity to skip the Hanlin Academy and ascend to fame in one step.
It's really a win-win opportunity.
"Go back and pack your things. I'll take you to the palace to see the emperor this afternoon."
At this moment, Zhu Ming finally stopped asking questions and nodded towards Yang Shiqi.
There is no need to say more about this kind of person.
Since there is a win-win solution, why not do it?
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing that Zhu Ming had relented and agreed to introduce him to His Majesty, Yang Shiqi bowed to Zhu Ming again, turned around and walked away.
His goal was now finally half accomplished.
"I don't really understand people like you who are so scheming."
After watching Yang Shiqi leave, Zhu Song shook his head and returned to his seat.
He couldn't understand the thoughts of these scheming people.
Aren’t you tired of calculating this and that all day long?
It is still easier to make money. At least the account books will not lie to you. You know how much you should earn and how much you should lose.
These scheming people are all dirty.
"I won't say any more. It's all tears."
Zhu Ming just chuckled and waved his hand. Who doesn’t want to live a simple life?
I am just in the world and have no choice.
He had to bring Yang Shiqi to the palace to meet the emperor in the afternoon, so he didn't stay with Zhu Song for long.
When he reached the door, he turned around and waved at Zhu Song: "I'll treat you to a drink tonight."
No matter what, since Zhu Song introduced such a talent as Yang Shiqi to him, it was only right for him to treat him to a meal.
Just after noon, Zhu Ming took Yang Shiqi, who had washed and dressed, into the palace and headed straight to Zhu Yuanzhang's Daming Palace.
"I will introduce you to Grandpa Huang later. As for the rest, it's all up to you."
With Zhu Ming leading the way, naturally no one dared to stop them along the way.
Although Yang Shiqi was not a simple person, he was facing the great ruler Zhu Yuanzhang after all. Zhu Ming was still a little worried and reminded Yang Shiqi.
"Your Highness, please rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Yang Shiqi nodded affirmatively and bowed in response.
He still has considerable confidence in his abilities.
As long as His Majesty really wants talents, he is sure that His Majesty will keep him.
Seeing that Yang Shiqi was so confident, Zhu Ming naturally said nothing more and took him to the Daming Palace.
"General Hu Wei, I won't see you off."
"Go back, go back."
When they arrived at the gate of Daming Palace, Zhu Ming watched Yun Qi and Hu Wei exchanging pleasantries at the gate.
After learning that Yunqi had returned to the palace, he came over, looked at Hu Wei, and greeted him with a smile.
"General Hu Wei, what reward did you receive?"
Hearing Zhu Ming's joking voice, Hu Wei turned around and waved his hand casually: "Shanxi garrison, Lieutenant General."
This was the reward Zhu Yuanzhang had promised him, so he naturally didn't take it too seriously and just responded casually.
"he is?"
After saying that, he pointed at Yang Shiqi who was standing behind Zhu Ming and smiling calmly.
"This is Yang Shiqi, the editor of the Imperial Academy. I will bring him to see Your Majesty."
Hu Wei is now considered Zhu Ming's man, and will work with Yang Shiqi in the future. Zhu Ming is naturally willing to let them get to know each other as soon as possible.
"Are you the Hu Wei who fought General Zhu Neng to a draw?"
Yang Shiqi looked Hu Wei up and down, frowned at the banditry in him.
"It seems that he doesn't like me very much."
Yang Shiqi's small action still did not escape Hu Wei's eyes.
But he didn't care and said with a smile.
Seeing that even such a small movement of his was noticed by Hu Wei, Yang Shiqi finally reacted and bowed to him.
"It's Shiqi's fault."
I have read so many books by saints, but I still cannot hide my intentions. It is my fault.
"You scholars have too many twists and turns. Let's go now."
Hu Wei was originally a bandit from the mountains, and he had no chance of getting along with a scholar like Yang Shiqi, so he waved his hand casually and retreated.
"General Hu Wei, I'll treat you to a drink tonight!"
Zhu Ming shook his head helplessly, turned around and looked at Hu Wei's departing back, and shouted.
"Your Highness, I..."
Yang Shiqi also looked at Hu Wei's departing figure and looked at Zhu Ming with some embarrassment.
It seems that this young prince has a good relationship with Hu Wei.
On the contrary, it was really embarrassing for me to be so disrespectful to Hu Wei in front of Zhu Ming.
"nothing."
Zhu Ming shook his head. It was just a minor misunderstanding, not a big deal.
After he finished speaking, he walked into the Daming Palace and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see Grandpa Huang."
Yang Shiqi followed Zhu Ming and walked into the Daming Palace.
His ambition was now one step closer, which made him feel excited.
Although he had met His Majesty during the palace examination.
The situation then and now is completely different.
"Grandpa Huang, I'm here to see you."
Zhu Ming, on the other hand, walked in the palace with a relaxed look on his face and shouted loudly.
