Inside the Qianqing Palace.
The four eunuchs of Si Li came back with "good news". For the four of them, this was also acceptable news, that is, Zhang Zhou did not have a marquis with him at the moment, at least not yet. It will have a direct impact on their inner court affairs.
"Mr. Liu Ge and the others agreed, saying that they would raise the matter in the court tomorrow so that Your Majesty won't have to worry about it."
When Dai Yi said this, he had been Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Zhang Zhou sitting next to him.
Zhang Zhou and Zhu Youtang sat in front of the military map and talked for a long time. The four of them were not present, and they could not even know the content of the discussion between the monarch and his ministers afterwards.
"Alas"
Zhu Youtang sighed heavily and looked at Zhang Zhoudao, "Bingkuan, you are definitely not a prince, but you have to be a minister first. This is very hard." , and it will bring you criticism from others, why bother?"
The emperor knew that if Zhang Zhou continued to stay in the Hanlin Academy, he might not be regarded as the same kind by the civil servants.
Then why not go directly to the Governor's Mansion
Even if I want you to continue to teach the prince, without the official position of the Hanlin Academy, it is not enough to give you a lecturer in the East Palace
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I have just become a Jinshi and have been in the court for less than half a year. If I rise too quickly, not only the civil servants will feel that the order of the court has been disrupted, but even the martial arts will not tolerate it. Your Majesty is a lazy person, please forgive me directly. I want more free time to allocate myself, so that I can study more about the sky, the future, and even study some new firearms, and even spend more on making money and my family. "Time."
"Yes." Zhu Youtang seemed to agree with this view, "Yes, no matter how successful you are in the court, you will be seen by others. You must be more considerate of yourself. Relatives around me."
As an emperor who has lacked family affection since childhood.
Zhu Youtang was controlled by Queen Zhang, and Li Guang and other sycophants appeared later, mostly because he needed emotional sustenance and was taken advantage of.
This time it was Zhang Zhou’s turn to enter the arena.
Seeing Zhang Zhou's persistence, Zhu Youtang naturally stopped objecting and said to Xiao Jing, "Is Mou Bin here?"
"Your Majesty, Commander Mou is waiting outside. Do you want to send word?" Summon him into the palace." Xiao Jing asked for instructions.
Zhu Youtang shook his head and said, "You don't have to let him in. Just let him coordinate the arrangements as soon as possible. Bingkuan, in addition to giving you the Imperial Guardsman of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion, the Jinyiwei you got previously The position of Qianhu remains unchanged. I previously said that I would promote you to the post of Jinyiwei commanding Qianshi, but this time it should be implemented. In addition, there are still vacancies for Qianhu and deputy Qianhu. , plus three hundred households. This is for the convenience of arranging the people around you to enter Jinyiwei. You should be more careful when entering and exiting."
Now Zhu Youtang sees the "importance" of Zhang Zhou.
Nitroglycerine and sub-guns can be said to be epoch-making products. In case Tatars or foreigners, or people with ulterior motives want to bribe Zhang Zhou, orKidnapping Zhang Zhou
The emperor was talking about protection, but in fact, it also meant "surveillance" secretly.
I can give you the task of making new firearms and purchase them from you, which shows my complete trust in you, but you can’t say that you just left the city and just found a place to make the weapons behind closed doors. While sending someone to protect you, it also serves as a reminder and a warning to you. You must not break my trust in you.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this a way for one person to achieve enlightenment?"
"Eh" Zhu Youtang interrupted Zhang Zhou, "Bingkuan, you just speak directly, even if You don’t have to say it clearly. Besides, with your merits, is it really a lot to give you this? Ask them." Dai Yi said hurriedly, "Not too much, not too much."
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, I dare not accept the position that is currently vacant for thousands of Jinyiwei families. In addition, the people around me are indeed not capable of serving as Jinyiwei. How about"
"It's given to you, just accept it." . If that doesn't work, give him a part-time job as a Jin Yiwei after he returns to the capital."
Zhu Youtang is also welcome.
No matter how awesome you Zhu Feng is in the northwest and Liaodong, you have won two battles, making others think you are awesome, and they can even give you the position of Anbian Marquis, but at best you are just a soldier. Kuan is just an errand boy, so asking you to protect Zhang Bingkuan can be regarded as appreciation for you.
Zhang Zhou said, "Why don't you, your majesty, I have a suggestion? Let the grandsons of the hundred households of Jin Yiwei next to me be promoted to the rank of thousand households."
It's not that Zhang Zhou has never thought about it. Take this position of Jin Yiwei Qianhu and give it to someone close to you.
But he has to be ignorant.
It is not only necessary to complete the protection task of the court, but also to complete the task of monitoring and supervising. If this person is completely his, the emperor will not be completely relieved. In other words, the emperor is relieved now, but in the future, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers will not be completely assured. When there was a slight rift between the two, someone would use this point to attack him, saying that he was so willful that even the people sent by the emperor to protect him had to be treated as one of his own.
It would be better to just promote the emperor and mobilize him. to his people.
It can not only hold Sun Shangqi in check, but also not follow the truth.
Sun Shangqi has been sent by your Jinyiwei from the beginning, right? He used to serve as the foreman of the Jinyiwei around me as a Baihu. Now my salary has been improved, and his salary has also been improved. Let him be a Thousands of households can be regarded as having merit and enjoy it together.
If you insist on attacking Sun Shangqi as one of my men, then what are the intentions of the person who sent Sun Shangqi?
Zhu Youtang nodded and said, "Very good, he Helping you to do things, getting the rewards you deserve, and coming in and out can be regarded as his merits. Haha, Bingkuan, this is their nature, walking around with you will get the merits, but it can't be done by others. ."
Zhang Zhou wanted to say that it's not that it wouldn't work if he were replaced by someone else, but that it wouldn't work if he replaced another emperor.
It seems as if these positions of Jinyiwei Qianhu, Deputy Qianhu, and Baihu were created by me.You gave it to me, okay?
"As for the Deputy Qianhu and Baihu, make good arrangements for them when you go back. When your son grows up, give him the command and control tasks that are lacking in the Imperial Guard, and let him have more in the future. Practicing martial arts, in terms of literature, it’s really difficult for you to be the number one scholar.”
The child from the number one scholar family does not study, so he practices martial arts and prepares to inherit the position of commanding the imperial guards.
Company. The emperor felt that this request might be a bit excessive.
Dai Yi next to him smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang should have a few more children. In this way, those who study literature and martial arts will have their own allocation, and they will not affect each other."
"Yes, yes." Zhu Youtang seemed to suddenly realize, "The Empress Dowager helped Bingkuan mediate before, but there is no further story."
The emperor also spoke frankly.
The old lady is no longer involved in the matter of marrying the Lin Han family. I am going to go to the battle in person to make peace.
Dai Yidao said, "I'm still talking, but Minister Lin has never agreed."
"Go again," Zhu Youtang said almost as if he was ordering, "and don't let the imperial grandmother If the people around him go, just let the people from Dongchang go directly with my intention and let Shi Lang Lin know that this is my intention. If he still has any doubts, don't say that I intentionally don't give him a way to be promoted. ."
This is all threatening.
Although you, Lin Han, are a minister of the Imperial Academy and have an outstanding academic reputation, your ability to serve as an official is not good. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Cabinet do not have such high evaluations of you. Your promotion to the Minister is far away. , Twenty people in the round don’t have a share in you.
If you still want to be promoted to minister, then obey obediently, otherwise Nanjing is a cool place and you can stay and retire there.
The reward given to Zhang Zhou by Zhu Youtang made the Supervisor of Ceremonies jealous.
In addition to official positions, there were also a large number of gifts in kind. Even though the emperor was very stingy about keeping his money bag, he was not stingy at all when giving it to Zhang Zhou.
But Zhang Zhou also said that he is not short of money now, so it is best to give him something that is not available outside.
Then Zhu Youtang took a bunch of gifts from the emperor and gave them to Zhang Zhou. He made a list. There were hundreds of jars of wine given by the emperor. This time he finally No longer asking Zhang Zhou to "have a taste", Zhang Zhou even felt that he was about to open a brewery, so he would give some to Old Man Jiang and let him study it slowly.
It would be great if a few bottles of wine could kill Old Jiang.
I am afraid that now everyone knows that he has the real shortage of positions for the Qianhu and Baihu positions of Jin Yiwei deputy, and everyone is vying to grab them. Isn’t Old Jiang a common man? He doesn’t want his son Jiang Shantong to get involved too. Zhang Zhou followed Xiao Jing out of Qianqing Palace.
Originally, Zhang Zhou was going to give lessons to Zhu Houzhao that day, but because of the good news, the lessons were skipped. This was equivalent to giving Zhang Zhou a few days off first, so that Zhang Zhou could First sort out your official position and future work.
The highlight will be to show merit for Zhang Zhou in the future.
"Eunuch Xiao"
"You don’t have to tell me that the things His Majesty has given you, as soon as you leave the palace, someone will be there to count them and send them to you. Whether you want to send them to your house or to another residence, or where to send them? Hehe, it’s up to you. Have the final say. ”
Xiao Jing has also learned to be “fine” now.
You don’t have to ask for it yourself, I will take the initiative to arrange what you want to say clearly for you, and it will appear that our family knows how to do things. No
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, when we went out today, we brought something specially for you, but because it is a copper item, you cannot bring it into the palace gate casually. This will make people jealous as soon as you come out. Brought to you, you see. "
Xiao Jing said and handed a key to Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "What is this?"
Xiao Jing looked aside. Mou Bin came out with him. Mou Bin knew how to stand aside and did not listen.
At this time, Xiao Jingcai reminded him with a smile, "You forgot that this was given to you by Uncle Ping Jiang." Don't worry about the yard. Someone has been watching over the yard these days. The people and money inside have not been lost. You go there with the key and open the door. The deed of the yard and the title deed he gave you will be delivered to you later. Go up to the house. ”
“Haha. ”
Zhang Zhou is laughing.
If Chen Rui did say that he would give him those things at first, but Chen Rui was partly drunk and partly sober and still said it was not good. , Chen Rui didn’t regret it at all after he sobered up
But it was the emperor who forced Xiao Jing to take back these gifts. Zhang Zhou wanted to say, this seems to go against my nature of persuading people with virtue. .
Zhang Zhou sighed, “This is a house, a land, money, a singer, and a daughter who is the widowed daughter of Uncle Ping Jiang, right? This kind of gift was accepted before the war in order to make him feel at ease. I accepted it, but I should have returned it afterwards. "
He said this, but with a twist of his hand, the key was already in his pocket.
Xiao Jing said with a smile, "Now, the more you accept this gift, the worse it will be." Normally, His Majesty would not let Ping Jiangbo stay in Liaodong for a period of time in the future, but should let him know how to serve the court in the future. ”
Zhang Zhou said, “But I heard that Uncle Ping Jiang seemed to regret it. ”
“Why didn’t he want to give it away?” Xiao Jing put away his smile and even got a little angry.
Did Uncle Ping Jiang take himself too seriously when he ordered you to give it away? Gifts are delivered to the house, do you dare to carry things out from inside afterwards?
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It seems that before, when Uncle Ping Jiang was in Ningyuan, he mentioned to Uncle An Bian that he wanted to use his daughter as his daughter." It's not obvious that we are marrying him, we are talking about this person in the house."
"Uh"
Xiao Jing is also very embarrassed.
Everything else is fine. , even Xiao Jing felt that it was a bit unreasonable to directly ask Chen Rui to give his daughter to someone else as a servant girl.
Chen Rui may have felt that it would be awkward to take it back after he had already said it. Possible, plus his daughter was a widow and could not stand up for him.
Afterwards, he was unwilling to accept it, but it was still Chen.Rui's direct daughter, even if her husband died, should not be given away so hastily. Instead, she went to discuss marriage with Zhu Feng, which meant "one daughter marries two husbands".
"Everyone is here with you. I will ask Dongchang to send someone to Shuntian Mansion later to get the registration. He is your Pingjiang uncle and he can't take it back even if he wants to." Xiao Jing said.
"Haha."
Zhang Zhou was laughing again.
I thought someone from Dongchangchang would help me collect bribes, but as expected, the efficiency was not average.
You can even give someone a birth certificate directly, which means that from now on, the Chen family’s daughter will no longer be Chen Rui’s daughter, but his Zhang Zhou’s concubine. Chen Rui has no way to take his daughter back.
Zhang Zhou thought for a moment, and it seemed to him that this was not bad, but the daughter of the Chen family had offended someone and was a well-known lady. Even if her husband died, why would she be sent away like this? Go, even marry for no reason
As expected, women in feudal society had no human rights.
Zhang Zhouxin said that we must criticize severely.
Go home and summon Jiang Pingyu and the others, hold a family meeting, sit down and criticize together, and then call Lin Yi who is about to get started if there are others
Cheng Guo Government.
Cheng Guotai’s wife, Zhu Hu, learned that there was a battle report in Liaodong. She hurriedly came from her villa, found Zhu Lin and shouted, "Your second brother is fighting in Liaodong."
Zhu Lin looked like it had nothing to do with him, "How does grandma know this?"
"Is there any?"
Zhu Hu was also anxious.
This eldest grandson is usually so shameless. Talking to him is like hitting cotton with a hammer. Not only does it not make a sound, but it is easy for the hammer to bounce back.
Zhu Lin said, "Yes, an internal official just told me that my second brother relied on the artillery given by Zhang Bingkuan in Ningyuan to defeat the Hulu cavalry and captured and killed nearly a thousand Hulu cavalry. The details are not clear yet. . But he also said that his son may be promoted to the Marquis of Anbian."
"It is indeed my son of the Zhu family."
Compared with Zhu Lin's calmness, Zhu Hu's family is difficult. To hide the excitement in his heart, the bun on his head stood up almost instantly.
Zhu Lin comforted and said, "Grandma, I think it's better not to be too anxious about this matter. It's not decided yet."
For Zhu Lin, old lady, you are so excited
p>
No matter how great your contribution is, your second grandson has already opened his own mansion. Your focus is on whether to go to Yansui
Don’t forget that we are the Duke of Chengguo. Your son It is my father's situation in Yansui that affects the future rise and fall of our Chengguo Duke's Mansion.
I heard that your eldest son, my old father, is having a very difficult time in Yansui recently.
Yang Guan is clinging to him. Maybe he will be dismissed and come back. If you gain or lose, you might lose a lot.
"Zhiyi." Zhu Hu said with a straight face, as if lecturing his grandson, "You lack the experience and knowledge of being an official in the court. If you were an ordinary person, you would not have the merit of knowing justice." Maybe it is not recognized by the court, but knowing that behind the truth isThere is Mr. Zhang, who can you reward if Your Majesty doesn't reward him?"
Zhu Lin narrowed his eyes and felt narrow-minded.
There are also Uncle Jianchang and Uncle Jiang. There are Ningyuan local garrison commanders, eunuchs, etc.
Who said you can only reward your second grandson?
"Grandma, where are the younger siblings?"
Zhu Lin is just After making an opening statement, Zhu Hu's face suddenly darkened.
This is obviously a matter of which kind.
"Call her." Come, I have something to say to her," Mrs. Zhu Hu said sternly.
Ning Tong was called alone to the back hall of Chengguo's official residence.
Mrs. Zhu Hu sat alone Zhu Lin stood next to him on the main seat, and no one else was there. Even the servants were not allowed to listen. Obviously, this incident would damage the prestige of the Chengguo Palace.
Ning Tong looked a little haggard. .
At first, she was locked up in the woodshed for the whole day, but before nightfall, Mrs. Zhu Hu released the two masters and servants into the yard, but ordered them not to go out of the yard, and they were not allowed to eat or drink. Someone was asked to send the door in, but this did not affect Ning Tong's determination to leave the Chengguo Palace.
Zhu Hu said, "Know him and achieve a great victory in Liaodong, and the court will take the next few days." , or he will be promoted to Anbianhou. ”
This is to give Ning Tong a blow.
Look at your husband, he is so awesome, you actually want to divorce her
You’re stupid. Come and beg me, I can forgive you for your ignorance, short-sightedness and short-sightedness.
Ning Tong didn’t even kneel, she just turned her head to the side and said, “It has nothing to do with me. "
When Zhu Lin saw this posture, he almost went over to persuade "grandma to calm down", but if nothing else worked, he was a master of stage talk.
But when he turned around, he was surprised. Seeing that Mrs. Zhu Hu was just like a tiger, Zhu Lin turned his head away from his siblings in anger.
Mr. Zhu Hu said, "It's your business." , I have heard that someone gave you a book, and it seems that they also mentioned the matter of reconciliation and separation to you, and encouraged you to do this. You are like this, so I can't blame you. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Lin glanced at the old lady again.
This was to find a way out for his siblings. The two sides resolved the misunderstanding and put all the blame on the "initiator"
That’s not right.
Isn’t the instigator Zhang Bingkuan?
It’s crazy to argue with him
As if performing a one-man show, Zhu Hu said bravely, "Tell me, is that person Zhang Zhou, the Jinshi, who instigated you to do this?"
Ning Tong did not expect that Zhu Hu could find out Zhang Zhou.
She glared at Zhu Hu and said, "This is a matter between me and Zhu Feng. Now even Zhu Feng himself agrees to divorce, even if it is not divorce, he will give me a piece of paper." The divorce letter even said that I was immoral, and I accepted it, but please don’t implicate it on someone who has nothing to do. "
"Okay. "Ms. Zhu Hu said coldly, "Sure enough, I have the same demeanor as I did back then.Fan, if you don’t know, I think you are a hero among women. If Zhang Bingkuan asked you to do this, there must be a reason, either because you are not compatible with my grandson, or because your presence will affect his future, so if Zhang Bingkuan raised this matter, there is still room for discussion. room. "
"Ah" Zhu Lin said in surprise, "Grandma, are we?"
The words "Speak some principles" were not spoken.
Zhu Hu said angrily, "Shut up, what's the matter with you?" Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
