"Go back to the courtyard and wait until Zhijie comes back to decide everything. Don't have any thoughts. It's best not to go out and don't cause trouble."
Zhu Hu suddenly became interested in Ning Tong. Very polite.
Zhu Lin couldn't understand this kind of politeness.
Ning Tong gritted his teeth and said, "I am no longer from the Chengguo Palace, and I don't want to live here."
Zhu Hu said, "Don't push yourself too far."
Ning Tong thought for a while and finally endured it.
It is rare that Mrs. Cheng Guo is not so picky about her and seems to have softened her attitude towards her leaving the Duke Cheng's Mansion. There is no point in continuing to argue.
After Ning Tong left the back hall.
Zhu Lin said, "Grandma, don't you think it's because she is the one Zhang Bingkuan likes?"
"She is becoming less and less like a big brother." Zhu Hu taught him a lesson. When the eldest grandson came, he was not polite at all, "Just take good care of your wife. Don't worry so much about the second wife."
Zhu Lin actually understood it.
Now Zhu Hu feels that Ning Tong's "backer" is Zhang Zhou. To put it bluntly, maybe Ning Tong's "concubine" is Zhang Zhou, so Zhu Hu doesn't dare to offend him, so he changed his attitude. change.
Zhu Hu said, "Don't talk about this matter to the outside world. Just say that our Duke Chengguo's office looks down on this girl and wants to marry a famous lady. This is our own business. , any outsider who asks me will have trouble with the Chengguo Palace."
"Haha."
Zhu Lin is laughing.
Your grandson may regard his title as a rocket, but he really thinks that everyone else is a fool.
"Why are you laughing?" Mr. Zhu Hu glared at his eldest grandson again.
Zhu Lin said, "Grandma, if you want Zhang Bingkuan to appreciate your kindness, you should send him out now, preferably over there."
Zhu Hu said angrily, "The Duke of Chengguo's Mansion has recently There will be a lot of guests coming to visit, so I have to take care of myself and also host the ancestor worship." Zhu Lin originally wanted to say that if you, my eldest grandson, are asked to worship the ancestors, even if you are the dowager, you are not qualified to go. host.
But looking at this posture, Zhu Lin knew that the current situation in Duke Chengguo's mansion was completely dominated by yin and yang, so he was not qualified to intervene
In Zhang Zhou's mansion.
At this time, an "Employee Welfare Conference" is taking place.
The most "powerful" cadres under Zhang Zhou are Zhang's employee No. 001 Liu Gui, and Zhang Zhou's hired No. 002 Jia Laoshui in the capital. If nothing goes wrong, they will He will get the position that Zhang Zhou rewarded, which is currently vacant among hundreds of Jinyiwei households.
In fact, Zhang Zhou also has plans to keep these positions for now. Recently, he has been working hard to have a son so that his son can inherit them.
But the emperor also made it clear that these positions were mainly given to those who protect him. The position of Jinyi Guard Qianhu was reserved for Sun Shangqi. This means that Zhang Zhou did not break the trust between the emperor and his ministers. As for the hundred It's not like he can give it to whoever he wants
If Zhang Ye and Zhang Ping and his son didn't make trouble, Zhang Zhou might stillI will think about it. At worst, I will try to trick these brothers again. The blood relationship between brothers in the Ming Dynasty clan is still very close. It can be said that "the bones are broken and the tendons are connected". Of course, this is the ordinary person's view of the Zhang family. In this way, Zhang Ye and his son basically have no chance of being royal guards.
"Sir's kindness is unforgettable despite his humble position."
When Zhang Zhou returned home, Sun Shangqi had already met Mou Bin, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, and learned that Zhang Zhou recommended him to be the Jin Yiwei. Qianhu's matter.
The Jinyiwei profession is very complicated inside. Sun Shangqi knows very well that if Zhang Zhou doesn’t appreciate him in this life, let alone Qianhu, even if he is the deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei, he will have no chance in this life.
So when he came to Zhang Mansion to thank Zhang Zhou, he always knelt down and spoke.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Sun Qianhu is too polite. Using you is not only His Majesty's intention, but also the intention of Eunuch Dai and Eunuch Xiao. Commander Mou also thinks highly of you, but you may not have the same intention." Other fat servants must continue to work here, so don't complain."
"How dare you take such a humble position. In this life, your words come first." Sun Shangqi must show his loyalty when he comes up.
Zhang Zhou said, "That's wrong. We all work for His Majesty. You directly take orders from the Commander of the Jinyi Guards or the Duke of Dongchang. I am not qualified to dispatch you. At most, it is follow-up. "Follow me, how long will it take for you to protect me?"
"I will never give up even if I die"
Sun Shangqi changed his statement.
Zhang Zhou nodded.
If you say that you will not give up even if you die, it seems to be reasonable.
It’s just words, so there’s no need to worry about it so much.
Zhang Zhou first sent someone to tell Jia Laoshui and Liu Gui to wait in the yard.
And he took the good news of his "promotion" to his backyard and informed his women.
"Master Tongzhi of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, what kind of official is this?" Jiang Pingyu found that it seemed difficult to learn something.
I have just figured out what the difference is between a thousand households of Jinyiwei and an ordinary thousand households, and I have just learned what the official salary is. Now I have to learn from the military governor's office. Didn't Tongzhi, the governor of the Imperial Guard, agree to be in Hanlin in the future? Is the academy responsible for compilation at the History Museum? Isn’t that a book-repair job?
Zhang Zhou looked at Wang Mingshan aside and said, "The governor of the Dudu Mansion is also the governor, but from the first-rank official position, generally speaking, only the third-level Duke and the Duke can take it. This is a false position, which is equivalent to a salary. I can still pass it on in the future. This position may have to be inherited by the boss." Jiang Pingyu said with round eyes, "Xiaojun is not the right person. "Thousands of Jinyiwei?"
"That's all in the past tense. Your Majesty gave me a shadow position. I am the Jinyiwei to command the general affairs. This position is a fourth-level position. I will leave it to Qing'er and your child." ."
"I can't do that, slave."
Han Qing was also a little confused.
I am not a legal wife, not even a legal wife in name, and I have no background, so how can I become a fourth-level royal guard commanding people?
AndAnd I don’t have a son either.
My daughter probably can't inherit this position
"Work hard, Qing'er." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.
Han Qing’s face turned red.
Zhang Zhou looked at the blank paper again. Of course, the white paper was scrawled by him, the scholar, and it was not so white anymore. Wang Mingshan didn’t care about the things within the room. If you understand, you can also cultivate her.
"As for Mingshan, the position of Jinyiwei Deputy Qianhu will be given to you." Zhang Zhou said, "There has never been a female Jinyiwei in Ming Dynasty, and you may be the first."< /p>
Wang Mingshan thought for a while, then shook her head, completely confused.
Jiang Pingyu asked, "Is he also a salary official?"
"No, this is a real job, and the purpose of this position is to protect my safety. Usually Mingshan will Follow me and let her wear a flying fish suit and carry an embroidered spring knife. No one else can tell whether she is a boy or a girl. When Mingshan has a son in the future, this position will be given to you."
< p>Before Zhang Zhou rewarded his employees, he first rewarded the three women in his backyard.The main house will have a first-rank imperial guard from the rear military governor's office, the governor and magistrate, the second house will have a fourth-rank Jin Yiwei to direct the affairs, and the third house will have a Jin Yiwei to serve as a deputy to thousands of households.
Although many things are still ideal, Zhang Zhou's current status is extraordinary. As long as he brings it up, even the emperor will cooperate, let alone Xiao Jing and Mou Bin. .
"Master, the boys outside have gathered and are waiting for you to lecture them." Liu Gui's voice came from outside.
Zhang Zhou said, "Wait."
Zhang Zhou originally wanted to get acquainted with his third wife in broad daylight. After being rewarded with the position, he should get something back.
Liu Gui is just looking for trouble.
However, some positions have not yet been obtained directly, so Zhang Zhou is not in a hurry to ask for "interest".
"I'll deal with you later." Zhang Zhou went out with a smile.
Zhang Zhou’s backyard became lively.
Because not only did she have an official position, but she also received a large number of rewards. Han Qing was particularly excited about this posture. She was from a poor background and valued external things the most. Wang Mingshan had nothing to do with gold, silver and jewelry. As for Jiang Pingyu, she wanted to take care of the Zhang family's property.
But it was limited to the part Zhang Zhou gave her.
Zhang Zhou has a lot of hidden assets around him that are impossible to calculate, and it is impossible for Zhang Zhou to let Jiang Pingyu be his housekeeper.
"Master"
There are more than a dozen nurses standing in the yard.
Except for one named Chang Si, who came from Nanjing with Liu Gui, the rest were recruited locally in the capital. Many of them had not been here long and were just looking after homes and nursing homes. , does not include the many craftsmen hired by Zhang Zhou in the workshop.
Sun Shangqi stood aside with four royal guards.
In order to show that this "reward" has a sense of ceremony, four people in JinyiThe guards were carrying some official uniforms and sabers, etc., and the official uniforms belonged to Jinyiwei Baihu, which was the silver-white flying fish uniform that Sun Shangqi wore before.
Of course, the Zhang family’s caretakers don’t understand what a flying fish uniform is. They also can’t see how the red flying fish official uniform Sun Shangqi is wearing now is any different from before. They just think it is a flying fish uniform. I have several outfits, wear them randomly.
Zhang Zhoudao: "As for me, I have done meritorious service outside and got some official positions, which I can give to the people around me. Those who contribute more to me and gain my trust will naturally get benefits. For example, these two officials Sun Qianhu, tell them what level Jin Yiwei Baihu is."
Sun Shang. Qi said, "It's the sixth grade."
"Okay, I will give you the official position of the sixth grade directly. There are two places today, and the first one is Liu Gui, who has been with me the longest," Zhang Zhou said.
Although Liu Gui heard about this on the way back, when good luck really fell on him, he almost jumped with excitement.
Zhang Zhou said, "My dear son, you have an official title. This name will no longer suit you. Let's call you Liu Gui."
Liu Gui said with excitement, "Sir, what do you think?" You can call me whatever you want. I don’t have any objections.”
Zhang Zhou shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter how good you are as a disciple now, but you have to learn a lot to get the position of Jinyiwei Baihu. , seeing that there is no Sun Qianhu, they are your role models."
"Yes, yes. You must study hard."
Liu Gui took over his official uniform. .
It feels so exciting to become famous overnight.
When people around him were envious, Zhang Zhou quickly announced the second place: "The second one is Jia Laoshui, who has worked hard in the past few months."
"I"
Jia Laoshui obviously didn't expect that he would have anything to do with it.
"Brother Shui, you are so prosperous"
Compared to Liu Gui who came from Nanjing, most people in the family regard him as a different person. Jia Laoshui is here. The status in the Zhang family is extraordinary. Although Jia Laoshui is a bit honest, it is precisely because of his honesty that he is very straightforward and will never do anything to deceive others. In addition, he is very popular with Zhang Zhou. Trust is naturally respected by his subordinates in the Zhang family.
"I also found a place for you to live in the city. I brought your mother and sister to the city and told your mother that your sister's dowry will be settled in the future."
Zhang Zhou finally fulfilled his promise to Liu Gui and Jia Laoshui.
Although it sounded nonsense at the time, as long as you work with him sincerely, he will not treat you badly.
This is to develop your own direct lineage. The key is not how capable it is, but whether it is loyal.
"Master, I can't do it." Jia Laoshui was different from Liu Gui in that he declined.
Sun Shangqi walked over and said, "Jia Baihu, from now on we are all colleagues, please take care of me. No one can do it"No, if someone threatens Mr. Zhang's personal safety and pounces on him regardless of his life, then that's OK."
"This"
Jia Laoshui is a very straight person.
If you ask others if you can die for Zhang Zhouxiao, they will say yes without even thinking about it.
If it happens, let’s talk about it differently
But Jia Laoshui is hesitant. Yes, for Zhang Zhou to directly throw his life away, don’t you need to think about it before answering?
But Zhang Zhou felt that if someone really wanted to kill him, the only person who could serve as a shield for him would be someone other than a complete thinker. Apart from Wang Mingshan in him, probably only Jia Laoshui can do it, because this person values friendship and doesn't have so many tricks in his head.
"Well, there are people in Zhang's house. One by one, each person will receive a reward of two taels of silver, and each of the Jin Yiwei will receive five taels. Go back and settle down."
Zhang Zhou is not stingy in rewarding money, mainly because he has money now.
Buy people's hearts.
This money It's worth the money.
The reason why he was stingy at first was because he had no money and needed to plan for the future.
When he has money, he won't have to worry about food, clothing, or even fame and fortune. There is no shortage of them, why do you still care about the money?
"As for other official positions, it depends on whether you can handle things well in the future. There will be those who can handle it well, and there will be a few who can't handle it well." Que'er who joined Jinyiwei as an errand should behave well and show his energy."
Zhang Zhou seemed to be a lecturer, explaining to a group of people who had just entered Zhang's Mansion, and even what they did to enter Zhang's Mansion. People who didn't know it were giving chicken blood.
"Serve the master"
I don't know who shouted it.
A group of people followed suit. /p>
Zhang Zhou suddenly felt that he was a little evil, but in order to be able to cheer him when he went out, and to control this group of people, he would not hesitate to be evil.
The news of the great victory in Liaodong spread throughout the capital within one day.
In addition to many people who went to the Duke Cheng's Mansion, those who wanted to curry favor with the Duke Cheng's Mansion were of course those whose news channels were lagging behind.
Of course, there are some people who know that it is useless to go to Zhang Zhou to curry favor with him. The Jin Yiwei alone will stop people far away from the house. People may have thought that there was some use in currying favor with Duke Cheng, so he went there.
But Zhang Zhou himself did not stay at home.
He took the initiative to "give gifts to others." "He went.
The place he went to was the mansion that Jiang Dezhong had just bought in the capital. The place was not big and very remote, but he spent nearly two thousand taels of silver on Jiang Dezhong, which made Jiang Dezhong feel very distressed. But in order to take root in the capital, he worked hard
"Xian son-in-law, why are you here? I am preparing to visit you. I heard that you also contributed to the great victory in Liaodong."
Jiang Dezhong was naturally surprised to see Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou usually ignored him, but he came to his door today. He was not trying to trick him.Mine
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Oh, it's nothing. Your Majesty just rewarded me with the position of Governor and Viceroy of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion, so I resigned from the first rank. He also gave me the post of Jin Yiwei commanding the Qianshi, and he was promoted to the fourth rank." In addition, I was asked to assign several practical positions such as Deputy Qianhu, Baihu, and General Banner. I am also worried."
"Ah"
Jiang Dezhong's jaw feels fast. Shocked.
He was also thinking, you are not just showing off in front of me, are you?
“Don’t you like to drink the wine from Yuci? The wine from the imperial wine room last time, this I sent you four altars this time, and also gave you some silk and satin materials, all of which are Yun brocade. I am quite interesting as a son-in-law," Zhang Zhou said with a smile.
Jiang Dezhong smiled bitterly.
Of course it was interesting when you sent these before.
But now you have made it clear that you have the power to allocate official positions, and yet you only give me wine and cloth. Are you trying to kill me?
"Xian son-in-law, look at my age. It’s too big, isn’t it?”
Jiang Dezhong had no choice but to hint his son-in-law.
You don’t have to have the things, I can even give them to you, but you don’t have to give me an official position
Zhang Zhou pretended to be puzzled and said, "Old Taishan is old and frail now, is it possible?" I want to go back to Nanjing to live out my old life."
"No, no, no, good son-in-law, you see I don't want one, your uncle is a dog, doesn't he want one too?"
Just saying.
When Jiang Shantong heard that his brother-in-law was coming, he ran out to see what was going on and heard his father say these words.
He still doesn’t understand.
What is the father talking about?
What kind of son do I want? I have a son.
"Hey, isn't this my uncle? Hello, your father is asking me for an official position. You know that I still have the positions of the Hundred Households of Imperial Guards and the General Banner, so I can allocate them," Zhang Zhou said with a smile.
Jiang Dezhong was embarrassed.
You know everything about feelings, so you are trying to trick me here to make me look embarrassed
Comrade Jiang Shan: "Has Zhang Jinshi's meritorious service in Liaodong been commended?"
Zhang Zhou said, "That's not true. I guess it will be almost done tomorrow. My official position will be decided tomorrow, but some of the titles given by His Majesty have been given today."
The implication is, no need. I'm worried that what I said about the Hundred Houses of Imperial Guards and the General Banner is an empty promise. Others can't take away what I have already obtained.
Jiang Shantong knew that he did not have much contact with Zhang Zhou. He had not helped Zhang Zhou when he was in trouble before, so he naturally did not expect Zhang Zhou to help him.
Jiang Dezhong said with a smile on his face, "Xian son-in-law, you have already got it, how about giving me one?"
"No." Zhang Zhou refused simply, "Father-in-law, I am a man like this." You are a businessman, you have given me something, and you have taken something from me. I know you want to say that you have helped me before, but your motives are not pure. After you arrived in the capital, you also tricked me twice. Cleared. "
"If you still want to take anything from me, you have to do what I say, otherwise youYou can only stick to your business, you can make money, but it is difficult to get honors and salary. "
Jiang Dezhong said, "What do you want?"
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "A general flag officer of Jinyiwei will exchange for the power of being the head of your house. If everyone obeys me in a year's time, then my brother-in-law will be able to serve as a royal guard for hundreds of households. ”
“A word is settled. "Jiang Dezhong agreed without thinking.
"Dad"
Jiang Shantong thought, father, are you agreeing too happily? The inheritance rights of our family will be given to your son-in-law. Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
