The capital was shocked

Princess Wei took the initiative to send Zhang Haogu's gift out of the house, and also gave Zhang Haogu a house along with it.

This is simply...

The sun came out in the west.

It is normal for Eunuch Wei to accept gifts.

Eunuch Wei is very shameless. If you give him less, Eunuch Wei will definitely be unhappy.

But, have you ever seen Eunuch Wei give gifts?

No!

An unprecedented first time.

For a time, all civil and military officials, big and small, were talking about it.

"Who is this good guy? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

"I heard he is Huiyuan of Jinke."

"Hiss, I know this talented person in the world, but this is the first time I know this Zhang Haogu!"

"How can it be so simple? He must have a lot of background!"

"Isn't that right? If you don't have a great background, how could you be sent to the door by Eunuch Wei himself? If you don't have a great background, how could you let Eunuch Wei send you a house?"

They all heard about Zhang Haogu's visit to Wei Zhongxian.

The circle in Beijing is not big

As soon as the news came out, basically everyone in the official circles knew about it.

I only heard that he was warmly entertained by Eunuch Wei, and that he was given food and drinks to him personally.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that the two of them actually treat each other as brothers.

Finally, Eunuch Wei gave Zhang Haogu a house.

The discussion in the capital did not subside for a long time.

At this moment, in fact, Wei Zhongxian himself couldn't figure it out.

Who is Zhang Haogu?

He thought hard and muttered: "No, this is not right!"

Zhang Haogu came from Linqing, Shandong, how could he be related to the emperor? He himself said that the friends he happened to meet treated him as a fool. How could he be convinced by such nonsense?

But if it wasn't for this reason, what else happened that he didn't know about?

As soon as Zhang Haogu left, Wei Zhongxian immediately started investigating.

It doesn't matter if you don't investigate. Once you investigate, you will be shocked.

Zhang Haogu came to take the exam. He was obviously late. When he entered the exam room, why did he pass everything?

Wei Zhongxian never thought that his business card would be so lethal.

All he could think of was one thing.

There is someone above Zhang Haogu.

Then the problem comes.

In the middle of the night, the examination room was closed. Zhang Haogu was able to go in and take all the questions that were not tested in the previous two sessions.

Is this a problem?

There is definitely a problem.

Who is the person above Zhang Haogu?

The answer is about to come out—Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao.

Could it be Jin Yiwei?

And what about the in-house factory?

Or, something else.

Eunuch Wei felt as if his head was about to burst.

Later, Eunuch Wei invited his confidant Guang Xian to continue investigating Zhang Haogu. At the same time, he also decided to go directly to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor.

What is the answer? Can’t you just ask the emperor?

Zhu Youxiao is studying gears this time, one gear after another.

His current thoughts were gradually moving from carpentry to steel. During this period, Zhang Haogu asked Zhu Youxiao to prepare a lot of materials, saying that he wanted to make the core object, which was a clockwork.

And this made Zhu Youxiao very interested.

Zhu Youxiao just discovered that Zhang Haogu is really interesting.

His father, Zhu Changluo, was not taken seriously, and the prince was a loser. Although Zhu Youxiao was not illiterate, and his cultural level was not completely behind, it was no problem for him to read and write, but he basically knew nothing about Confucian classics. His father, Ming Guangzong,

Zhu Changluo was not treated well enough as a prince, and his son Zhu Youxiao was even less treated.

Reading and literacy are no problem, but I feel sleepy after listening to Confucian classics.

Nowadays, there are many great Confucians around him who want to teach him Confucian classics.

And Zhu Youxiao basically goes in from the left ear and out from the right ear.

However, Zhang Haogu is different.

Starting from his favorite carpentry work, giving him levers, strength, and pulleys, these things still felt ordinary at the beginning, but the further he went, the more Zhu Youxiao found that he seemed to have opened up.

The door to a whole new world.

And Zhang Haogu also discovered it.

This carpenter emperor has a very flexible mind.

You can learn what is taught as soon as you learn it, and you can also draw inferences from one instance to another.

The main thing is that he is willing to learn.

At this moment, Zhu Youzheng was fiddling with a hand crank, slowly turning the gear, and saw a wooden door slowly opening, and then slowly closing.

Later, Zhu Youxiao was calculating something on the draft paper.

But it is a set of formulas.

It was like a ghost drawing a talisman. Wei Zhongxian took a look at it from a distance and felt like he was reading a book from heaven and could not understand it at all.

When he saw Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao stopped what he was doing, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Dad companion, has Zhang Haogu gone to find you?"

Wei Zhongxian's heart thumped, and then he quickly said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zhang Haogu just left. I don't know where this Zhang Haogu came from, to be so favored by the Emperor!"

"Isn't he a scholar from Jinke? I also met him by chance. This person is very good and interesting. I like him very much. I heard that he entered the city and couldn't enter the examination room. Was it you who arranged it?" Zhu Youxiao

He didn't think much about it and simply asked directly.

"It's the old slave!"

Wei Zhongxian said respectfully.

"You did a good job!" Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Why, is this why you came to me so late?"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned: "Your Majesty, how should we arrange this ancient piece?"

"How to arrange it? Didn't I appoint him as the Huiyuan?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian strangely: "He is a scholar of Jinke, and I also think he is very interesting. When the imperial examination is over, let him stay in the capital, so that I can go to him often!"

"If you stay in the capital, you can go to him often!"

Wei Zhongxian felt more and more confused.

Zhu Youxiao rarely expresses his, um, love for a person so directly.

However, this Zhang Haogu seems to be really different.

He knew about Zhu Youxiao. Although it was said that he liked to force men to lock up men and liked masculine style, Eunuch Wei knew that he would definitely not be good at masculine style.

That is, there must be a secret connection between them.

Jin Yiwei origin?

Or something else?

Even though Wei Zhongxian thought about it, he couldn't imagine that the two people really came into contact purely through the carpenter.

"Do you have anything else?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes fell on Wei Zhongxian again.

"No, it's okay!" Wei Zhongxian said politely,

"Stay back! Remember, don't expose my identity casually. I will go find him tomorrow!" Zhu Youxiao's attention returned to the draft paper, and he began to make plans for the carpentry work in front of him.

The calculations started again...

"Are you going to look for him tomorrow?"

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but murmur in his heart, what is the origin of this Zhang Haogu?
