Chapter 165: Go home and practice gymnastics

Zhang Zhou took Dongchang's carriage and returned to his door.

When I first came back, I couldn’t recognize my home.

"This is"

On the street, carriages can't even squeeze forward. There are more than a dozen carriages parked in front of Zhang Zhou's house. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a bustling crowd.

The door was closed and no one received this group of people, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of this group of people to visit at all.

Xiao Jing sighed, "You may not know that your Majesty said in the court that the mighty gunpowder came from your hands, and also mentioned that he would negotiate military merits for you. Then someone will inquire about your residence. , I don’t need to explain their purpose of coming here.”

It doesn’t need to be explained clearly.

To put it bluntly, they are all here to curry favor with me

Zhang Zhou said, "Eunuch Xiao, I finally have a place to settle down in the capital. I don't want to be disturbed by these worldly things. "Look"

"Understood" Xiao Jing also understood what was going on. He stretched out his hand to greet the people in Dongchang, pointed at the door and gave a few instructions, roughly speaking, go and blow these people away

p>

The people from Dongchang took action, and it worked really well.

Even if many people come to visit, they are not really powerful people. Who are the powerful people who rely on this way of following the crowd to build relationships?

People from Dongchang go up and down, and divide five by two. Just cleared the door.

Then Zhang Zhou could finally go home in peace.

Zhang Zhou went in to take a shower and change clothes, while Xiao Jing was waiting in the main hall of the outer courtyard.

When Zhang Zhou came out, there was already a person standing next to Xiao Jing. He didn't look like he had an official title, and he was holding something that looked like a greeting card in his hand.

"Your Excellency"

Zhang Zhou frowned.

The host didn’t even say anything, so why did he let someone in casually?

Xiao Jing pointed at the man and said, "Say."

That man just did this He saluted and said, "Young man is from the palace of the King of the Ministry of War. I have sent you a household registration card specially. It is the registration card of my young lady. If you sign it, you can go to Daxing County Yamen to get the registration card." , my lady can officially pass."

Zhang Zhou immediately thought that this was the follow-up to Wang Yue's gift to his granddaughter.

Wang Mingshan was sent back to the house by him a few days ago. Wang Yue probably thought that Zhang Zhou was worried that Wang Mingshan would not have a name or status. Now he would apply for a household registration and ask Zhang Zhou to sign it, and the person would belong to Zhang. All Zhou

"Mr. Zhang, don't hesitate. Just sign your name and the person will be in your name. If you don't have time to go to the Yamen to do it, Dongchang can find someone to cash it for you. It's not cumbersome at all." "

Xiao Jing looked very enthusiastic about helping Zhang Zhou take a concubine.

Zhang Zhou said, "Eunuch Xiao, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Xiao Jing reminded, "Sir, did you forget that you accepted Miss Wang's family? Even His Majesty nodded and approved. This is In order to allow Wang Shilang to use his troops in the northwest with more peace of mind, now that the victory has been won, I'm afraid that Wang Shilang will be anxious again after hearing about it if he doesn't want it anymore. You said he became anxious and scratched his head over what gift to give. How can things continue like this? No shadowIt will affect the stability of my Ming border area."

Damn it.

Zhang Zhou shouted in his heart.

You, Xiao Jing, are also a talent.

Also, when you say this, can you You can't avoid people from the Wang family

The people from the Wang family looked like "I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it" and turned their heads to the side.

Xiao Jing said. He took out a pen from nowhere, handed it to Zhang Zhou and said, "Sir, please ink. ”

Zhang Zhou took the pen and looked at the household registration card.

He thought to himself, is this a marriage certificate?

I will sign it, and there is no household registration required. I'll do it, and someone will do it for me. It's like getting married and deciding a woman's life. There's no need for any other formalities or etiquette, and there's no need to tell relatives and friends. That's it.

"Mr. Zhang , hurry up, His Majesty is still waiting over there. "Xiao Jing said.

"Alas"

Zhang Zhou sighed.

Thinking of Wang Mingshan's beautiful appearance and figure, it's just like

The feudal system kills people, so we must strictly criticize this social custom of male superiority and female inferiority. Travelers must always keep in mind the principle of equality between men and women, and never forget that they are here to change the times, not to talk about personal affairs between their children

Wait.

Zhang Zhou suddenly felt that something was wrong. I already had a wife and concubines, so I still care about this.

Isn’t it just a matter of signing the marriage book?

He dipped the brush into the tea cup, wrote the name on it with a big stroke, and then handed the household card back

The marriage was done.

"Master Zhang, please wait and I will send someone to you before nightfall. ”

Inside the palace.

Zhang Zhou followed Dai Yi and Xiao Jing to the direction of Qianqing Palace.

Dai Yi had learned about the king from Xiao Jing When Yue asked her about sending her granddaughter off, she smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir, on your little success. ”

“Eunuch Dai, don’t make fun of me, what a little passerby, as Eunuch Xiao said, I did this purely so that Wang Weining can use his troops in the northwest with peace of mind. I am doing this to share the worries of the imperial court and the country.” "Zhang Zhou didn't feel ashamed at all.

"Haha, you're right. ”

Dai Yi naturally knew that Zhang Zhou was joking. Anyway, he was now familiar with Zhang Zhou’s tricks.

Zhang Zhou could make jokes no matter how he wanted to, he could just laugh with him.

With this incident, Zhang Zhou felt uneasy. He thought that he had just come out of the Gongyuan, and he had not thought clearly yet, and he had a concubine in his room.

She was a noble lady like Wang Mingshan.

That figure, that martial arts, even if it looks like a showman sometimes, it is still equivalent to a gymnast

Should I practice pommel horse first, or rings

Why don’t you go to some palace or some holy place? Going home to practice gymnastics is not as comfortable as this

Going home in the eveningGo to Qianqing Palace to practice gymnastics.

Zhu Youtang received Zhang Zhou with enthusiasm, and first explained to Zhang Zhou about the great victory in the northwest.

"Bingkuan, you are really a gift from God to the Ming Dynasty and to me. The battle in the northwest has reversed the decline of the Ming Dynasty that has been stubborn and difficult to make progress for hundreds of years. You are the hero of the Ming Dynasty, history books I will definitely remember you."

Zhu Youtang put a high hat on Zhang Zhou's head.

Zhang Zhou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty commended me. I just did something that I should do. I can't say that I have merit."

Zhu Youtang said, "There is no need to belittle yourself. You Your contribution should be greater than that of Wang Yue. I want to give you a knighthood. Even if the ministers in the court will object, I think you are worthy of this title."

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Zhou said seriously, "I just calculated the situation on the grassland. In addition, last year's drought in the north caused food harvests in various places, and the grassland grassland must not grow well. There are large areas of wilderness, so I dare to follow. Your Majesty has announced that the Tatars are going to march."

"The other thing is that there are internal annexations in the grassland, and the spheres of influence of all parties have been consolidated. If the Huoshii troops want to attack our country, they want to start from Yansui and other places. When advancing, they must worry about being taken advantage of by other tribes, so it is expected that they want to repeat their old tricks, go straight to attack Datong, and use their superior troops to move in and out quickly."

Zhu Youtang said curiously. You mean, this is something you calculated based on experience, not God's will."

Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, how can there be so much God's will? I just used a little bit of metaphysics and my inference. Only then did I say that it was not accurate, so I hope that in the future, your majesty will not blame me for some of my inaccurate calculations."

"You," Zhu You. Zang was suddenly speechless towards Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou respectfully said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for lying."

Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "That's how you are. You can get more praise for yourself, but you can't." You insist on putting the credit on others, and you can obviously use God's will to speak, but you always say that everything is so natural. Even if you infer this matter, it doesn't matter whether it is God's will that takes the credit."

Dai Yi next to him also smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang, why are you denying credit at this time? And the mighty gunpowder, wasn't it also prepared by you?"

Zhang Zhou helplessly spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you see, I have just finished the examination and the results have not been released yet. I just want to have the opportunity to be a civil servant in the future and make suggestions for the court in the right way. How can this be nonsense?" If you really want to confer a title, how can you discuss state affairs with those ministers?"

"Yes."

Zhu Youtang smiled and nodded.

Zhang Zhou’s previous reasons seemed untenable, but when it came to being an official, he felt that there was still some truth.

Zhang Zhou’s goal was to become a civil servant, otherwise he would not have participated in any imperial examinations and would have just accepted his selection to become an official in the court.

Also because Zhang Zhou participated in the imperial examination, and there were so many major events in the court recently, he, the emperor, did not have a strong advisor by his side. Zhu Youtang even regretted letting Zhang Zhou take the imperial examination.

However, Zhu Youtang also understood that if Zhang Zhou did not take the correct path of the imperial examination, no matter how he used Zhang Zhou in the future, he would not be able to integrate Zhang Zhou into the mainstream influence of the courtiers.

"Let's do this." Zhu Youtang made a compromise decision, "I will record this credit for you first. If you fail the test, or if you make further progress in military achievements in the future, I will include it for you. Even if I am not here, I will inform the prince and ask him to write it down for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, even if you don't have a title, you should have something else."

"Humph, now that you think about it, you want to reward me with a title for you. You What else do you want?" Zhu Youtang said with a straight face first, and then pulled Zhang Zhou aside.

He did not go back to sit on his dragon chair. He directly found a temporary seat with Zhang Zhou and motioned for Zhang Zhou to sit down. "Bingkuan, didn't you say that Xishan is going to open a mine?" I have decided to give you a few mines. Open as many mines as you want. Is this considered a gift?"

Zhang Zhouxin said.

The emperor is really stingy, and his stinginess is as stingy as mine.

Does this count as being close to the ink?

For the past six months, you have been talking to me, a stingy person, about things, so much so that you have been led astray.

What a sin.

"Your Majesty, this is very good. Then I will become a mine owner, and I will definitely make a lot of money." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

Zhu Youtang is also laughing.

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Zhu Youtang naturally asked about the topic he was concerned about.

"Bingkuan, do you think there will be no more changes in the military and political affairs of the northwest?" Zhu Youtang became serious.

Of course he is worried that if the Tatars leave and come back, what they have gained now will become a dream, and then there will be extreme joy and sorrow, and his face as an emperor will be greatly lost.

This question

It’s really hard for Zhang Zhou to answer.

This is something that has never happened in history. In history, Huo Si led his troops to fight from Piantou Pass to Datong, and then fled away after plundering. Many generals were convicted of this crime. Yue was already dead, but the Piantou Pass did not abandon the defense and blow up everything in front of him. All of this was caused by Zhang Zhou's own butterfly effect.

Ask Zhang Zhou to tell accurately whether the Tatars are coming or not, but he can't do it.

Zhang Zhoudao "Logically speaking, there should be no big changes, but it is not appropriate to invade the grassland at this time. It is better to wait for the internal disputes in the grassland to subside, and then wait for the opportunity."

"Yes."

Zhu Youtang nodded.

He was not the kind of emperor who was good at making progress.

Zhu Youtang is already satisfied with the current results., and we won’t talk about marching into the army anymore.

"With your words, I feel more at ease." Zhu Youtang seemed to have taken another reassurance.

Zhang Zhou suddenly remembered going home to practice gymnastics and asked for instructions, "Your Majesty, should I resign?"

"Don't be anxious, there are other things to do."

Zhu Youtang was not polite either.

It seems to be saying, I have finally waited for you to finish the examination, and now I have caught you, and I can’t interrogate you for as long as I want. There is no way to escape

"Previously, it was related to Jian Changbo Regarding the matter, didn’t you say there might be an earthquake? There has been no movement yet. Is it because I took Uncle Jianchang into custody, so the matter has been resolved. God will no longer punish him, so he can be let go."

In his words, Zhu Youtang still tried his best to protect Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are only seventeen, so it is a bit early. If there is an earthquake in the southwest border, it will take four or five days at the fastest for the news to reach the capital."

"That's right." Zhu Youtang sighed, "But I'm also thinking about what God wants."

Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, I have already said that God's will cannot be done accurately."

As soon as these words came out, Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others next to them all widened their eyes.

This Bingkuan’s speech is indeed different from others.

Obviously it was you who said that God’s will would punish him and asked the emperor to arrest his brother-in-law. As expected, the emperor listened to you and arrested him, but now you are saying that God’s will is not accurate

You are deceiving me about your feelings, or even acting like a king

Zhu Youtang was not surprised, he asked, "Please tell me in detail."

Zhang Zhou talked eloquently "I believe that this will of God is nothing but the will of God that the world believes in. If I can deduce it, I will associate these things that may happen by chance with the situations that your Majesty may have in the future, and try my best to resolve these unreasonable things. Criticism. In fact, how much does the local earthquake have to do with how your Majesty employs people?"

"Haha"

Zhu Youtang laughed when he heard this. It makes sense. Those who believe in God's will the most are actually the ministers, and only those ministers like to talk about God's will. For example, there are still a lot of people talking about the disaster in Qingning Palace last year, and I don't tire of it. But he still had to discuss the pros and cons with them in an open-minded manner."

The emperor suddenly became an atheist.

Even the eunuchs next to him were thinking, who are you, not Your Majesty, who believes in God’s will the most

Zhang Zhou said, “I’m not embarrassing Uncle Jian Chang, I just feel that even if I have to let him go, , it is better to wait until after the 22nd, when it is confirmed that there is no earthquake anywhere, and it will not be too late to release people. If something happened before, even if it is not God's will, someone will use God's will to embarrass your Majesty. "

Zhu Youtang felt reassured after hearing this, and nodded happily and said, "Then wait a few more days. Yanling has indeed become more and more unruly in recent years. He should be allowed to restrain his temper. Looking back as a queen When asked, I will also say that this is my decision, Bingkuan, and you will notI must worry that the Zhang family will be in trouble.
