Chapter 792: It’s hard for the emperor to do whatever he wants, and a wealthy family also has worries
After getting out of the carriage at Xiao Zhang's house, Lu Feng could not help but chant the name, with a deep look of anger on his face. If it were said that he originally wanted his family to get more wealth, so that he could His descendants wrote a glorious stroke in the family tree, but now he had no intention of doing so. This time, Zhang Yue happened to suppress him with thunderous means, but what about next time?
None of the eunuchs from Jiaozhi in the palace had bothered to find any family members. They were just adopted sons from the people. He had met them a few times occasionally and found that they were all very clever and clever. He did not have any direct brothers. Those in his hometown are his cousins. In the past, when his family was so poor that he had to go to the palace to make a living, no one took care of his family. Now he is being taken advantage of, and he almost became a target for others to attack him. Early on Knowing this, he might as well simply learn from Wang Jin, Zheng He and the others.
Find a reason to ask the emperor to change his surname!
Moreover, what Zhang Yue just said was quite right. Now that the situation is unclear, he cannot take it for granted and go here casually. After all, he is far less close to the emperor than Fan Hong, Jin Ying, Wang Jin and others. In the eyes of others, Zhang Yue has fallen behind. He was so proud that he came here to ask for punishment. Who knew that it would end like this in the end. However, he just took the opportunity to pretend to be pitiful, and then rushed to the emperor to plead guilty. He first removed himself and then found the emperor again. Bring out the guy who is showing off to him and cook it well!
After dealing with this group of people, Zhang Yue stood up and stretched. At this time, it was already a hot day in the capital. Since the incident in Nanyang Mansion, he had been rushing all the way, and now he was sweating and tired. The soil is sticky and uncomfortable.
After bathing and changing his clothes, he took a nap on the yellow bamboo couch for a while. It was reported outside that the palace official had arrived. It was actually Wang Jin who came in person. However, he said that he was not delivering an edict, but just stopping by to take a look. After pondering for a moment, he thought that since Wang Jin said so, he would not entertain the guests in the main hall, but would let Gao Quan lead the guests to the backyard.
Although this was not the first time for Wang Jin to enter here, he had never set foot in the backyard. Along the way, he saw bamboos and willows shading flowers everywhere. The winding path was hidden among the green grass. He couldn't help but think that the Zhang family and his son would really know how to do it. As he lived, this house, which was at least half the size compared to Uncle Yangwu's Mansion, managed to create the atmosphere of a deep courtyard. When he arrived at the front of the inner study room and saw Zhang Yue coming down the steps to greet him, he smiled and held his hands in front of him. .
Although it was not a decree, Zhang Yue would not look at this most popular eunuch as he did before. After seeing each other with a warm smile, he led the person into the inner room and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the way to go. It was a coincidence that as soon as I arrived at home, Eunuch Lu blocked the door and asked me to accuse him. As soon as I cleaned up, you came to the door again."
"When I left the Donghua Gate, I happened to bump into Eunuch Lu. As expected, he is in charge of the East Factory and has better information than ours!"
Wang Jin knew that he was deeply trusted by the emperor, even Fan Jin and others were not as good as him, so he didn't even think about trying to get along with others, so he brought the topic away with a slight smile. He first mentioned that the emperor would summon him at Qianqing Palace tomorrow. , and after a few more gossips, he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, does he know that three days ago, Luo Qian, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was just dismissed as the chief secretary of Huguang and was involved in political affairs because of his disobedience."
Although today's vassals are not as valuable as when the country was founded, they are still the frontier officials who keep their word. Therefore, when Zhang Yue returned to the court this time, he knew that he should be able to occupy a position among the six ministers. Of course, if not
Even if he is young, it is not impossible for him to find a chancellor. As for joining the cabinet, not to mention that the old father-in-law's body can continue to work for at least twenty years. Even if he can't, it will not be easy for San Yang in front of him to surpass him. On the contrary, it is the Jian of Liu Bu.
Xia Du was already a veteran of the Five Dynasties, and his ministry duties were gradually put down.
Therefore, after hearing this, he already understood the meaning. After all, at his age, Officer Zha Cheng would still attract criticism, but if it was the Ministry of War that he had always been familiar with, it would be difficult for others to say anything, let alone the unlucky man
The minister of the Ministry of War happened to have fallen from power. Moreover, Zhang Ben, Minister of the Ministry of War, was already seventy-two, and he was already regarded as an veteran among the veterans in the court. However, his family was originally in charge of the army, and the civil servants who joined the Ministry of War would agree
?
But since he knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song, he smiled and thanked Wang Jin.
"Master Zhang, our family has been serving the emperor since he was the grandson of the emperor. It has been more than ten years now. I don't think much about anything else. I just want to have someone who can really relieve the emperor's worries. Now everyone in the cabinet
He is already considered a veteran of three dynasties, and his ministers have experienced five dynasties at every turn. Even if the emperor promoted young talents from the imperial examination, his qualifications cannot be compared with those of the veterans. Only Mr. Zhang took the imperial examination in the 16th year of Yongle.
Although I have passed the exam, my qualifications and merits are not lacking. Only when I speak in court can I be more considerate of the emperor."
These were heartfelt words, and Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel horrified and moved. Sure enough, Wang Jin counted on his fingers the advice given by the ministers in the past two years, from admonishing hunting to admonishing traveling, from admonishing fun to admonishing children, all in all.
, he, an outsider, felt that one was better than the other, let alone the emperor Zhu Zhanji. At the end, Wang Jin sighed deeply.
"The Emperor has only been on the throne for three years, but he has already grown gray hair on his temples. He often has many things that don't go well with him. Years ago, he came to the border to report that Arutai had colluded with Wu Liangha to invade the border. The Emperor only mentioned the border patrol.
The two words caused a lot of opposition in the court... Now that the emperor's eldest son was born, the word "establishing an heir" has also made a fuss. In addition, the censor who recklessly put the fire on us eunuchs said that it was
It is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor is very worried. The reason why I do not see you today but tomorrow..."
At this point, Wang Jin paused and his voice suddenly became extremely low: "The emperor feels that he is not in good spirits and does not want you to see it. It is helpless to say that if the three main halls are not rebuilt, the emperor will not have to live in the house every day.
There is no place to shelter from the wind and rain. Just a few days ago, some people said that the treasure land of Jinling is far better than Youyan, and suggested that the capital should be moved back."
Even though Zhang Yue was well-informed in other places, he did not feel it as deeply as he did in Beijing. When he heard these incidents one by one, his face gradually became serious, and his left hand could not help but gradually tightened his grip on the side.
Handrail. Speaking of which, it is no longer a question of whether Wang Jin is going along the way or not. Without Zhu Zhanji's approval, I would never dare to say these words.
After chatting for a long time, Wang Jin explained all the meaning of the emperor's explanation clearly and thoroughly. Wang Jin rambled on about other unimportant things before standing up and saying goodbye. This time, Zhang Yue naturally
They sent people out all the way. When they arrived at the second door, Wang Jin, who had been talking all the way, suddenly said something as if unintentionally.
"The emperor's eldest son has just been born. Concubine Sun has been recuperating in Yongning Palace because of her health condition. The Queen Mother and the emperor asked Princess Ning to take care of the emperor's eldest son. Princess Ning always seemed gentle and amiable. A few days ago But suddenly she had a sudden attack and replaced half of the people above and below in one breath. The incident alarmed the Queen Mother, so she asked Princess Ning to personally select two new companions from the inner study hall. Most of the palace maids and eunuchs were directly selected from the Renshou Palace. …”
Listening to his ears and remembering it in his heart, Zhang Yue remained silent until he sent Wang Jin out of the gate to mount his horse. When he turned back, he let out a long breath. Ever since he heard that King Zhou had passed away, he and Du Wan Zhu Ning's future was also mentioned many times - if his father is gone, he will be like his eldest brother, like his father, and his eldest sister-in-law, like his mother. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Zhang directly passed over Zhu Youdun, who became the king of Zhou, and took Zhu Ning to the capital. And one day Just as she was deeply trusted during the Yongle period, Zhu Ning was still able to navigate the palace with ease, but she didn't know that her filial piety period was about to come to an end, so she had no idea what her plans would be at that time. Many princesses of the Tang Dynasty became nuns, and many princesses of the Song Dynasty became nuns. The Ming Dynasty did not have this rule.
Moreover, what exactly does the Queen Mother and the Emperor mean?
Since the emperor is summoning him tomorrow, Mr. Zhang Yue has no choice but to visit his relatives and friends. Only his uncle Zhang Xin is not at home. He is said to have gone out to pay a visit. Zhang Jiren has not returned from the Hanlin Academy, so Feng only left him to drink. After drinking tea, he didn’t say much. The situation in Yangwu Uncle’s Mansion was even worse. Dongfang was actually dressed like a layman, with a lot of Buddhist beads. He talked about Buddhist scriptures when he spoke, and Zhang Qi was not there. He lingered for a moment and then He quickly said goodbye and left. Only in the British government house did he feel relaxed.
"Big bad brother!"
After two years of not seeing each other, Zhang Jing is no longer the little girl she used to be. Her eyebrows have grown longer, and she looks exactly like Mr. Sun when she was young. At this time, after seeing the ceremony, she glared at Zhang Yue angrily, He pouted and said: "Mom, dad, you and your sister-in-law, you left me here for two years and didn't care about me! Also, you are back, but where are my parents and sister-in-law?"
Seeing the little girl's nose was sore and she was crying, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel dizzy, and he hurriedly comforted her. As a result, probably because he didn't have the talent to coax children, the more he talked about Zhang Jing, the more violent she became. In the end, she threw herself on Mrs. Wang's knees and started crying. After a long quarrel, Mrs. Wang saw Tianci and Zhang Tian pulling her out like little adults, and then she smiled helplessly.
"Jing Yatou has always been clever and smart. She only cried behind her back a few times. You are just a brother. Her parents are so cruel. They left a good child here for so long! Fortunately, I now have a son and a daughter. , and also relieve her some loneliness, otherwise resentment will inevitably arise in the child's home. By the way, according to the joke told by Mrs. Anyuan Hou, you used your title as the lobby uncle to scare people at Jiaozhi?"
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was angry and funny, Zhang Yue laughed quickly and said: "It's just an idea. Who made Bo Huwei in the lobby easy to use?"
"What is Huwei? Now he is just old age. The head of the three princes, the head of the nobles, the head of the hundred officials, the ranks, etc. have all come to an end. In addition to the Zhijing feast, he can't do anything else. Now today, he is here I was soaking in the Hanlin Academy and haven't come back yet."
Although in the past Zhang Fu either went to war, guarded or trained troops, and was away for many years, even when she was born, Mrs. Wang had indeed hoped that her husband would stay by her side countless times, but she saw Zhang Fu doing nothing. , seeing Zhang Fu just looking at Shuo, she felt very uncomfortable that a military attache actually had to deal with those texts and books. However, let alone the border battles were just small battles, even if it was a big battle, it would not be life or death. On such a special occasion, how could it be possible for the Grand Master to go on an expedition with the official seal of the British government?
"Auntie?"
Hearing Zhang Yue's call, Mrs. Wang suddenly came back to her senses, hurriedly concealed a smile, and then changed the subject: "It's good that you come back, and you can be an official in the capital from now on. The emperor should not be able to
You have been running around all day. Your uncle mentioned before that there are several vacancies among the six departments. The Department of Personnel and the Department of Household Affairs are the most closely watched. The others are better, as long as they are not the Ministry of Works.
Think about it, when I first met you, you were just a childish young man, but now you are about to become a Budang!"
"If I hadn't been protected by my uncle and my aunt, I wouldn't be where I am today. Doesn't it mean that I am no longer your junior if I become a minister?"
This sentence made Mrs. Wang burst out laughing. Zhang Yue had no choice but to accompany her for a while and talk about everyday things. Finally, she asked about Liang Zang’s failure in this subject. He learned that Liang Zang fell ill before entering the exam.
, because he failed to complete the three examinations in the Gongyuan, he couldn't help but sigh. When Mrs. Wang asked him to bring his mother and wife to the capital, Liang Zang had already agreed, and he couldn't help but nodded, secretly
Thinking that this person could remember Du Zhenyi's kindness in rescuing his father in the past, and he was not so pretentious as to refuse the help of powerful people, he was really a trustworthy person, so he decided to wait for his son to come back and let him come and become his disciple.
At sunset, Mrs. Wang wanted to leave a meal, but Zhang Yue apologized and said that she had already prepared to go to Du's house, so she naturally gave up. However, just as she sent her mother to send Zhang Yue out, the curtains outside suddenly rose.
When the fight started, Bi Luo, who wore her hair in a woman's bun, hurried in. Seeing Zhang Yue, she bowed first and then stepped forward to whisper. At first, Mrs. Wang frowned at her action, but then she listened.
He frowned, his brows immediately furrowed tightly.
"The second child is really getting better and better. His son is useless, and he married such a woman as a house filler. What kind of place does she think this British government house is?" Mrs. Wang is now older, and sometimes she can't help but be angry.
He was so angry before Zhang Yue left, "This court does not belong to my master. It's not a joke to come here to ask for an official position! You said I'm not feeling happy, so I'm gone!"
Zhang Yue, who happened to be in front of the door, heard the angry voice behind him and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. When he left the yard, he only heard someone shouting twice from behind. When he turned around, he saw Bi Luo chasing after him. Bi Luo came up and faced the mother.
She said something, saying that Mrs. Wang asked her to go to the front to deliver the message, and immediately took over the errand to see Zhang Yue off. However, when she turned around, she did not take Zhang Yue to the front two doors, but walked to the east side.
Fan corner door.
"Master Yue, please be more tolerant. Since the second master remarried a wife last year, the family has never been clean. Nowadays, my wife is too lazy to hold banquets and get together during festivals. She just has people give gifts as usual. Now
The second master still has a false title as a commander, and his income is not much but the expenses are high, so the second wife often comes to beg the madam, and sometimes her words are very unpleasant. The madam does not want you to bump into her and cause trouble. After all, according to her seniority, she
He is also your elder."
After listening to Bi Luo's words, Zhang Yue finally understood what was going on. Zhang Fu and Zhang Bin, the father and son, were jumping up and down when Zhang Fu was seriously ill, which disgusted Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, and after that, his concubine died in a fight.
