Chapter 246: Academia Matters

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Dai Yi and Xiao Jing walked towards the room of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

"The same goes for Mr. Zhang. How can he alone complete such a thing as revising all the books and also revising the guild code?"

Dai Yi was very puzzled, but he had no choice but to say , "But if Mr. Zhang himself said that he wanted to repair it, but His Majesty has such expectations, then if it cannot be repaired, or if civil servants find fault, it will be difficult to solve the problem."

Xiao Jing followed Dai Yi quickly, still thinking in his mind, you are older than me, how come you are trotting faster than me?

"Then Eunuch Dai, go and remind Mr. Zhang now and tell him not to show off. "

After Xiao Jing finished speaking, Dai Yi suddenly stopped, almost staggering Xiao Jing.

Dai Yi glared at Xiao Jing and said, "It's okay if you didn't say it before, but now you have mentioned it to His Majesty. Your Majesty has such great expectations. This means that if you don't cultivate, you won't cultivate."

"That"

Xiao Jing was also in a dilemma.

If you don’t practice this, you will easily be picked on by civil servants and cause trouble. If you don’t practice this, you won’t be able to explain it to the emperor.

There are still such errands

Dai Yidao said, "Your Majesty has not ordered you to quickly find someone to send the congratulatory gift to the Lin family to congratulate the marriage of the Zhang and Lin families. Let Minister Lin know His Majesty's concern about this marriage."

Xiao Jing understood instantly and saluted, "Let's go and ask Mr. Zhang how the book revision is going, and whether we need Bachelor Cheng or... Lin Shilang is always there to help. If there is anything that needs help, he will secretly contact the relevant people and wait for help. Is this what he means?"

Dai Yi glanced at him and said, "You finally got the idea."

"Yes, yes."

As Xiao Jing took the order and left, he was thinking about it in his heart.

I still need you to remind me of this kind of thing, as if you are the only one who understands it. We are all fools, so I don’t have to rely on me to help with this kind of thing

The Imperial College, the dormitory built by Lin Han, is also outside the courtyard where his family lives.

Zhang Zhouzheng came to Lin Han to "propose marriage" with his special gift, which was a nearly complete copy of the Ming Dynasty Code.

In fact, in the marriage regulations of this era, before the six rites are carried out, people have been sent to inquire about marriage wishes and other issues. There are many precedents for women being kicked out of the house. In this era, marriage contracts are legally binding, precisely because many things cannot be changed once they are settled.

Accepting gifts is not too much of a gift, accepting gifts is.

Zhang Zhou’s visit this time was actually to communicate with Lin Han in terms of etiquette. Originally, Zhang Zhou’s elders should be responsible for this matter, or he could just send someone directly.

But after all, she was marrying the daughter of the minister's family. Even if she was a concubine, she was married as a concubine. Since it was an imperial marriage, Zhang Zhou felt it was necessary to come in person.

"Coming"

Liu Shun saw Zhang Zhouyi walking into the alley outside and quickly called people over.

"This is notIs that Assistant Liu?" Zhang Zhou still remembers this assistant from Guangye Hall.

When he first came to the Imperial College to report, it was this guy who set the threshold for Lin Han.

Now Liu Shun changed his previous arrogance and prejudice, nodded and bowed and said, "Old Lin has been waiting for a long time to offer wine. Please come with me. ”

Zhang Zhou is also an official now, but he is no longer an imperial supervisor, but a serious civil servant. But if you have to argue, Zhang Zhou can use his first-grade military position to suppress it. People.

But using official positions to pressure people is not Zhang Zhou’s style.

That seems to be something beyond one’s own ability. In Zhang Zhou’s opinion, it is too superficial. /p>

Lin Han’s yard is not big. He and his son live in one yard. Lin Han’s wife and daughter, a woman who is responsible for taking care of the family, live in another yard. The men and women are separated.

Zhang Zhou is also thinking that maybe Lin Han is so old and has no personal needs, otherwise why not live with his wife

Also .

You presided over the construction of this dormitory. Why don’t you arrange a bigger and better yard for yourself? You are setting an example and being a bit harsh on yourself.

Think about me. His new house

"Shilang Lin. I'm so polite. "Zhang Zhou entered the small courtyard.

Lin Han and his son Lin Ting were there, but Lin Yi was nowhere to be seen.

The woman who was about to get married, even if the small courtyard was too Xiao, there is nothing he can do without leaving the door, no matter what he says, he has to avoid coming out to see people.

Lin Ting bowed his hands and saluted Zhang Zhou, "I have met Governor Zhang." ”

The military honors of the Ming Dynasty basically require a title to enter the Dudu’s Mansion, and they are all commensurate with their own titles. However, those like Zhang Zhou who do not have a title to enter the Dudu’s Mansion, whether they are the left or right governors, or Governor Tongzhi and Governor Qianshi will all be called "Du Gong", but because it is easy to confuse Du Gong with Factory Lord, it is usually enough to call him Du Gong.

"Goodbye, Brother Lin, call me Bing. Just be lenient, I just have a false position and am still serving in the Hanlin Academy. "Zhang Zhou smiled.

Lin Han said, "Li Zhan, it has nothing to do with you here. Please step back first." "

"Yes. ”

When Lin Ting was about to go out, Zhang Zhou also greeted the people outside and brought in some gifts from Nacai. There were large and small boxes of things, arranged as if they were a big gift.

The most conspicuous thing among them is a thick stack of sealed books.

Although Lin Han does not live a prosperous life, he does not seem to value money or anything else. This is also a common problem among corrupt scholars. While envying the good life of those who are rich and powerful, he also keeps his composure to make people think that he is content with being poor.

“Today is just about accepting money, why do you have to bring so much. You didn't treat your daughter poorly, it was me who treated her poorly."

Lin Han still feels bad about the fact that his daughter can only marry someone else as a concubine.

< p>Lin Han could have refused directly.Jue Zhou's Empress Dowager, but that was equivalent to rejecting the emperor. With his aloofness and pride, he could have accepted being an official in Nanjing.

After careful consideration, especially since the emperor had high expectations for him and wanted him to come and accumulate some prestige in the Confucian world on behalf of Zhang Zhou, Lin Han finally agreed.

Zhang Zhou asked, "Mr. Lin, has your marriage brought you any trouble?"

Lin Han sighed and said, "With your fame, you would have spent ten years in the Hanlin Academy." In a few years, you can still come forward. I can only say that it is too early for you to come forward now. Who among your colleagues in the DPRK and China will recognize you? I also feel that after getting to know you, you are not bad in nature, and everything you do is for the Ming Dynasty. Jiangshan Sheji, Your Majesty has high expectations for you. After all, you are from Beiyong, so I can only do it with difficulty."

Zhang Zhou wanted to say this beautifully.

Co-authored by Mr. Lin, you have never considered your future career

Marrying with me will basically guarantee that you will become the Minister of the Northern Sixth Ministry, and you can even be promoted to the Ministry of Rites A position like Minister is coveted by others, but you are here to talk to me about it for my own good

Even if I were your son-in-law, I would still be treated the same way as others.

For the sake of face, Zhang Zhou couldn't ridicule Lin Han, so he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to thank Mr. Lin for your kindness. I brought a book today, and I would like to ask Mr. Lin to read it in detail."

"A book"

Lin Han also frowned when he heard this.

He wanted to say, even if you are the number one scholar, why should you study at a young age?

But after thinking about it again, who said that young people can't study?

Zhang Zhou went over in person, took out the basic outline and handed it to Lin Han.

Lin Hanben was also careless and didn't think this was an important book. But when he flipped through the first book and saw the outline inside, he stood up and said, "This is"

"This is the table of contents of the revised version of the various titles, involving many additions and changes. As for the specific volumes, they are in the stack of books below. There are also outlines of books such as the Ming Dynasty Code below. Please refer to them for details." Zhang Zhou's tone was calm.

Lin Han did not continue to look down, he raised his head and frowned and said, "Bingkuan, where did you get this book from? Did the Hanlin Academy ask you to bring it out?"

Lin Han said as Although the right minister of the Ministry of Rites is just a false title, he is also very clear about matters in the Imperial Academy. Naturally, he knows that since the ten years of Hongzhi, the thing that people in the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty are most concerned about is the cultivation of the Ming Dynasty. Huidian.

He doesn’t think Zhang Zhou has the strength to complete it by himself.

Zhang Zhou said, "I just looked through the revised parts in the Hanlin Academy, and I didn't look at some of them. The rest were all compiled by me. Everything involved is written law. , rules, etc., do not involve subjective assumptions. I am afraid that there must be something unclear in it, so I can only ask Mr. Lin to help me with the details."

"You are alone"

< p>Lin Han was also speechless.

So many people in the Ming Dynasty painstakingly compiled twoYears ago, I haven’t found the way yet, but you just walked in

“Bring it here, I’ll take a look.”

In Lin Han’s opinion, since Zhang Zhou you are bragging If you are awesome, then I will check it carefully for you.

Even if it’s just the energy to kill you, I think it’s necessary.

Lin Han and Zhang Zhou, young and old, did not discuss any major marriage matters, but instead studied the Ming Dynasty ceremony.

Zhang Zhou brought all the books to Lin Han. Lin Han wanted to review them one by one, volume by volume, and even review them word for word.

Actually, Zhang Zhou felt that Lin Han was a bit bragging.

He, Zhang Zhou, is very knowledgeable. He has been wallowing in old papers for many years. Even those who have read through or even studied the written books cannot guarantee that he can remember them all.

As for Lin Han, he was just serving as a wine minister for the Imperial Academy, and many businesses were not directly related to him. The most he could do was provide detailed information on the parts he knew.

"Why is this section about the Ministry of Rites and Honglu in charge so different from the previous ones?" Lin Han thought he had found something wrong.

Zhang Zhoudao said, "The North Huitong Pavilion is located on the east side of Qingchengfang Street. It was built in the sixth year of Zhengtong and rebuilt in the fifth year of Hongzhi. It has a total of 376 rooms. The South Huitong Pavilion is located on the north side of Yuheqiao West Street, Dongjiangmi Lane. It was built in the sixth year of Zhengtong and renovated in the fifth year of Hongzhi. It has a total of 387 rooms. Both the northern and southern halls were moved to Honglu Temple in the sixth year of Zhengtong. Nowadays, when envoys from various princes arrive in Beijing, they are mostly received by the Ministry of Rites. , but in fact it should be handed over to the Huitong Hall, and Honglu Temple is solely responsible."

Lin Han frowned.

Although he was not clear about some things, what Zhang Zhou said made sense.

The first thing Emperor Hongzhi wanted to rebuild was just the various departments and offices to clarify the responsibilities of each yamen in the court and prevent omissions and overlaps.

This is also because many problems have arisen from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present. The law should also have the opportunity to add and amend or add cases, even for some unreasonable job arrangements, or excessive, Amend the legal provisions that are too lenient, but this is a very big matter and needs to be carefully considered.

And Zhang Zhou had the advantage of being a "prophet".

These things were originally decided by you. I just came to explain them to you before you decide.

If you feel that my decision is wrong, then just raise it and treat it like you are now and slap your future selves in the face. I will happily watch your jokes

" "Hmm."

Lin Han couldn't fault it and continued reading.

The more he read

the more he was shocked, because it covered so many aspects that it could be regarded as a book.

The yard next door.

Lin Ting is comforting his sister. Lin Yi may also know that she is getting married. She doesn’t know how she feels. Sometimes she sheds tears, sometimes with some expectations, or It's some confusion.

"I guess my father will have an agreement with Bingkuan soon. You can see that Bingkuan is a childish person sometimes, but he is very talented and has a lot of heart."

Lin Ting Even I feel sorry for my sister.

But this is Yuci’s marriage, and in terms of face, my sister is not bad at all.

Lin Ting said with a smile, "Remember me, Da Ming, besides you, who else is qualified to get the marriage gift from the emperor? After you go there, you will not be neglected."

The words are so.

But just because of her status as concubine, Lin Ting felt that this was purely for psychological comfort.

The only marriage granted by the emperor during the Hongzhi period was when Kong Hongtai, the Duke of Yansheng, proposed to his nephew Kong Wenshao and Li Dongyang’s only daughter in the ninth year of Hongzhi. At that time, the emperor only intervened and helped negotiate a peace. Because Kong Wenshao's father, Kong Hongxu, committed adultery and committed murder, he was deprived of the title of Duke of Yansheng, and Kong Hongtai was childless.

The purpose of letting Kong Wenshao marry Li Dongyang's daughter was mainly to improve the legitimacy of Kong Wenshao's succession to Duke Yansheng.

Li Dongyang once personally wrote the epitaph: "My daughter's features are pure and beautiful, and she is like a jade. She is an extraordinary son. Many noble families have discussed marriage, but they have rejected her."

But In the end, he couldn't bear to be reconciled by all the ministers in the court. Li Dongyang felt resentful, but agreed to wait three years before getting married.

In these days, everything is about family background and family style. Who is willing to marry his precious daughter to a brat whose father has a murder record?

Historically, the marriage did not take place until the thirteenth year of Hongzhi.

After this girl got married, although she observed the etiquette, she was not treated well. "My daughter stayed in mourning, put on her clothes, and worshiped each other diligently. She lived in harmony with her sisters-in-law, and she was not arrogant when marrying her relatives. She has thousands of maids and servants, all of them are kind. Although she lives in a famous garden and villa, she has many concubines, which is difficult for people to compare with. , I always think about it. I miss my parents so much that I cry every day."

I can't give birth to a son, so I can only keep concubines for my husband. I miss my parents so much that I cry every day."

As a result, Zhengde passed away five years ago.

Before Li Dongyang died, all his biological children died of illness, and only one adopted stepson was still alive.

"Have you finished talking with father?" Lin Yi shed a few more tears and raised her head to look at Lin Ting.

Lin Ting said, "Let's go and have a look."

"No, okay"

Lin Yi was crying before, but now she looks shy .

Lin Ting roughly understood at a glance, what else could he advise his sister? She was simply looking for trouble for herself when she had nothing to do.

"It's not like I've never seen anything wrong. Just follow me and don't let anyone see you."

Lin Ting took his sister out of the door, and there he Next door, the alley is very narrow. After all, it is just a dormitory alley next to the Imperial Academy, and carriages are not usually used.

"Why is there no movement at all?" Lin Ting was also curious and pushed the door open.

But I saw that the previous gifts were all placed in the yard, but the booksGone.

"Second Young Master Lin, you have something to do?" Liu Shun greeted Jin Yiwei and other visitors from the Zhang family at the entrance of the alley. When he saw Lin Ting coming out, he hurried over to ask.

"It's okay, you can go back."

Afterwards, Lin Ting entered the yard.

Lin Yi wanted to go in, but after thinking about it, she turned around and went back to the yard next door.

In a small study room.

The young and old pair, Lin Han and Zhang Zhou, were still looking through the provisions of the imperial laws. Lin Han studied the parts of the Ming Dynasty Laws the most carefully.

"Father"

At this moment, Lin Ting appeared at the door. < /p>

"I don't need you here. Are you sleeping today? If you have nothing to do, go back to the Yamen."

Lin Ting left again in disgrace.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Shilang Lin, why don't I leave this book with you first and let you read it for a few days? Don't be in a hurry."

When Lin Han heard this, he felt a little old-fashioned. Can't hang on.

He was originally going to find fault with the Ming Dynasty Code compiled by Zhang Zhou, but almost every time it started with an aggressive start, and was eventually brought back to finish by Zhang Zhou. Lin Han also discovered that he seemed not to understand the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty. That person is himself.

You still have the nerve to help someone with the details

"No need." Lin Han said, "You should ask more people at the Hanlin Academy. They are compiling this book and check it out. There are more classics and may be able to give you some help."

Zhang Zhou smiled and said nothing.

Lin Han glanced at him and said, "You don't plan to share the credit with others, do you?"

"I don't mean that." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "Should I ask them for details? Yes, but before that, I am going to let Mr. Lin and Bachelor Cheng go over it together."

"Cheng Keqin"

Lin Han frowned.

Lin Han and Cheng Minzheng have a good personal relationship. Cheng Minzheng can only sit idle in his mansion in Beijing because of a trumped-up case. Lin Han regrets it a lot.

Probably people who create knowledge will cherish each other.

Lin Han himself is not that kind of professional politician, so he is particularly sympathetic to Cheng Minzheng's experience.

Because this kind of thing may happen to him one day.

For example, if he is asked to be the examiner of the general examination, there is a precedent of Cheng Minzheng. He will definitely not take the job again, and it will be easy for him to lose his job at the end of the year.

Zhang Zhou said, "It's him."

"Yes." If it had been anyone else, Lin Han might have asked Zhang Zhou to check whether it was appropriate, but I heard that Zhang Zhou was looking for Cheng Minzheng and Lin Han nodded directly, "He has been in Hanyuan for many years and has extraordinary knowledge. It is right to ask him." Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
