Chapter 251: Wishful Thinking

"Bingkuan, is my health okay?"

Queen Zhang was too concerned about whether she could help Zhu Youtang in the future.

Zhang Zhou is still not sure whether Zhu Houzhao and others are Queen Zhang's biological children. Just looking at Queen Zhang's eager attitude, he feels that this woman still cares about "curing diseases".

There are no caesarean sections these days. Even if there are, it depends on the scar on the belly, stretch marks, pelvic width, etc. And these days, the queen's clothes are large and gorgeous, and you can tell something about it. Can't we do a "comprehensive examination"?

Zhang Zhou said, "The queen's body is naturally fine, but it needs long-term conditioning."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Empress Zhang still has high hopes for Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou wrote the prescription and then went to see Zhu Youtang.

Zhu Youtang's face was also very eager. Zhu Youtang also had needs when it came to having more sons. As an emperor, he did not care about how many children would inherit his throne in the future. Even if In order to stabilize his own throne, having more children can also deter careerists with evil intentions.

"How?" Zhu Youtang asked.

There were no eunuchs nearby, which meant that he clearly told Zhang Zhou that this was the conversation between the two brothers, and outsiders would not know about it.

Zhang Zhou sighed but did not say anything clearly.

Zhu Youtang's heart sank a little and said, "Bingkuan, you can speak frankly, but I won't even tell the queen."

Zhang Zhou said, "Your majesty, the queen's phoenix body is fine." Yes, it’s just that the future pregnancy and childbirth may require long-term conditioning.”

“Queen She She”

Zhu Youtang looked surprised.

That blank look seemed to say that the problem did not lie with me but with the Queen

Obviously Zhu Youtang had never blamed himself before. , after all, his hypocrisy is obvious to all, and Queen Zhang has obviously damaged his self-confidence in the matter of the house and curtains. As a man is losing his strength, he can no longer blame others for his troubles. < /p>

Now that there is only one queen, others may think that the problem lies with the queen. If there are more concubines, everyone will know that I am the one who can’t do it.

Zhang Zhou said, “Your Majesty, I have no No disrespect to the Queen."

"Oh," Zhu Youtang sighed, "Bingkuan, I understand that you are also doing your best for me and the Queen."

Zhang Zhouxin said, The purpose was achieved.

From the first time the emperor mentioned having a child to him, he actually wanted to find a way to get the emperor to have a concubine. But at that time, he had just arrived, and the emperor's trust in him seemed unlimited, but in fact The limits are also very large.

Zhang Zhou knew that if he had instigated the emperor to accept a concubine at that time and said that the queen was not good enough, the emperor would definitely think that he had some kind ofSelfishness.

If you don’t say it with your mouth, you will think it in your heart.

This Emperor Hongzhi seemed very kind, but he was still a little sinister in his heart.

If the emperor didn't even have a city, Zhang Zhou would feel that he was a "sycophant" for nothing.

But it’s different now.

In the past six months, even if Empress Zhang began to be biased against him, she was able to "open up the world" through his "sincerity". While he helped the emperor regulate his body, he made the emperor's body The progress is improving with the naked eye, while helping the Zhang brothers clean up the mess, and also helping the second son of the Zhang family to obtain military honors, he does his best for the Queen Mother Zhou, the prince, and the princess

Even Queen Zhang herself put down her feelings for Zhang Zhou He was wary and began to regard Zhang Zhou as "one of his own".

If the problem was with Queen Zhang, would the emperor still suspect that she was deliberately looking for trouble?

Zhang Zhou thought to himself.

Am I looking for trouble?

Isn’t that the truth?

To tell the truth, you have to assess the situation, and even have to "sit on the fire and taste the courage". Is it easy?

p>

"I will do my best to help the queen heal, and sincerity will lead to success." Zhang Zhou showed off the momentum of scientific research to give the emperor some confidence.

Zhu Youtang looked over with trusting eyes, nodded and said, "Bingkuan, I have to rely on you."

The words were not clear.

Zhang Zhou was also wondering whether the so-called "relying on me" means relying on me to take care of your husband and wife's health, or whether he meant relying on me to find out the root cause of the disease in the queen

"I also want to ask you, how long can my current physical condition last?" Zhu Youtang asked again.

Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty is now in the prime of life. As long as your Majesty takes care of his body properly, I have not considered other issues."

Zhu Youtang sighed, "Yes, I am not old. , I can still wait."

Zhang Zhou thought to himself that the second goal was achieved.

Before, he always instilled words to the emperor such as "Your Majesty is still young and shouldn't be like this". It seemed that it was to give Zhu Youtang confidence in taking care of his body, but in fact he was giving him Sow seeds of doubt.

When Zhu Youtang's health really improves, he will think about how long my body can last. It was fine when I was young, but it won't work when I get a little older, and it may even be worse than before

p>

With this sense of crisis, the emperor no longer only considered the option of hanging Queen Zhang on a rope.

Why else would the emperor say "we can wait"?

It means that the emperor has already begun to consider the two options of "wait" or "not wait".

If you want the emperor to change the abnormal "controlling" and "being controlled" relationship between the emperor and Empress Zhang for more than ten years at once, it will not work without a little hard work.

Zhang Zhou felt that he was achieving his goal step by step.

"Your Majesty, I would like to go back and give it to Your Majesty in detail.Here is the recipe prepared by the queen. "Zhang Zhoudao.

"Yes. "Zhu Youtang nodded, but said apologetically, "Bingkuan, there are really a lot of things that have troubled you recently. You are asked to make suggestions for the war in the northwest and Liaodong, and you are asked to teach the prince, and you are also required to preside over it. Yanwu Hall, you have to practice the ceremony, and you even have to worry about me and the queen's body, and I also ask you to test the will of God."

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Dai and others often say that those who are capable work hard. , I will first treat myself as a capable person. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Zhang Zhou thought for a moment, is he really busy?

It is easiest to have no formal position. He seems to be running around every day, but in fact he is content with his job. Happy.

On the contrary, if he is kept in a yamen and waits for casual work from midnight, it will be a torture.

Now, he can go wherever he wants. No matter where he goes, even if he is sleeping and practicing gymnastics at home, if others don't see him, they will still think that he is working hard to do important things for the court.

"Bingkuan, the Ming Dynasty cannot do without you."< /p>

Afternoon.

In the cabinet duty room, Liang Chu and Wang Hao have read all the main documents of Zhang Ben’s Ming Hui Dian under the supervision of the three cabinet members. /p>

As the deputy editor-in-chief who is currently in charge of editing the book, Liang Chu is always in a state of confusion during the reading process. He often loses focus and shows an expression of "that's it"

Liu. After all, Jian and the others were still responsible for the drafting of the tickets and could not be there all the time. When the three of them came out again, Liang Chu had put down the Ming Dynasty Rules and turned his head to look at them.

"Uncle. "Hou, how about it?"

Li Dongyang stepped forward and asked.

Liang Chu asked, "Three pavilion elders, where did this edition of Huidian come from? Why is it compared to today's Hanlin Academy?" The compilation part in the middle is more detailed and textual research is more precise. Could it be that His Majesty also sent someone else to edit the book?"

Although the Ming Dynasty had two Hanlin academies in the North and South, in fact, the South Hanlin Academy had no official duties. In addition, the There are not many people on the side, and the book repair work has not been sent there at all.

But now, under Liang Chu's nose, someone actually completed a book that dozens of people in the Northern Hanlin Academy had not been able to complete for several years. The book was completely presented in front of him, how could he not be shocked

Li Dongyang did not answer and continued to ask, "What do you think this book is?"

Even Liang Chu said , this version of the Ming Dynasty Huidian is detailed and well-researched. Li Dongyang actually roughly understands Cheng Minzheng's mentality. This is indeed something that cannot be cultivated by humans.

He only represents three people in the cabinet and wants to know this. Has the book reached the point where it can be published without additions or modifications?

If so, then Zhang Zhou can indeed complete it alone, and there is no need to ask them or people from the Hanlin Academy for help in the future. When it comes to negotiating signatures, he will be very passive.

Liang Chu lowered his head and sighed, "Except for some of the writing, it is a bit slang, but it has reached a very high level, and some parts still need to go back. Detailed research, but the informationIf you think it's about right, give it another month or two and publish it after the research is completed. "

"One or two months" Xie Qian couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

Liang Chu thought that it was too long and might not be able to catch up with some celebrations and the like, so he changed his words and said, "If compiled by With the help of other people, it may be completed in ten days. "

The three cabinet members couldn't help but look at each other.

You Liang Chu are really straightforward, and you have never thought about being robbed of your credit.

Wang Hao said, "If it's normal, It is not unreasonable to have some professional standards or laws, but if it involves court regulations, it is better to use strict writing. You should find someone to proofread and add to it in detail. "

Wang Hao is actually speaking for Liang Chu, his "subordinate".

Others don't know it, but Wang Hao knows the thoughts of the three cabinet members.

p>

No matter how incompetent we are, we can't admit that others are too capable. Doesn't that make us even more incompetent?

The best result is that Zhang Zhou has a "base", and you are in name. But in fact, after we forcibly make significant additions and changes to your original manuscript, and then complete the "refined revision", we can feel more at ease when we share the credit.

And what did Liang Chu mean?

He directly said that he could publish it after he went back and did some research.

That meant whether there were people from the Hanlin Academy or cabinet ministers, in fact, they would not be interested in compiling this book. The book doesn't really help.

"If you want to make additions and changes, how do you need to complete them or how long does it take?" Liu Jian came out and it was finalized.

We just want to make additions and changes.

Even if it is forced to make additions and changes, it is necessary to make additions and changes. This is the last dignity of our ministers.

Liang Chu looked at Wang Hao, as if he didn't understand. What Liu Jian meant, he finally shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this matter if I come down here. "

Xie Qian frowned and said, "You are a book repairer. If you can't finish it, who else can finish it?"

Xie Qian was also anxious.

Why? Not only does Cheng Minzheng just sing the opposite, he is a "rebellion" to begin with, but you, Liang Chu, are really up-and-coming, and we planned to cultivate you well, but you also said that it was beyond your capabilities

Although Liang Chu felt aggrieved, he still had no choice but to say, "From the time when the imperial court prepared the canon, the main responsibility was done by Master Cheng. When Cheng was busy with other matters, he relied more on him in the compilation of the canon. Yu Jiefu, now that Mrs. Jie is not in the capital, if I rashly forcibly modify this manuscript, I am afraid it will make people laugh. "

"Alas"

Xie Qian sighed, looked at Liu Jian and Li Dongyang next to him, and said with emotion, "It seems that your Majesty asked Jiefu to return to Sichuan. There is an intention. "

Wang Hao frowned.

Why are you targeting me, Xie Yuqiao?

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang both understood Xie Qian's words and felt that the emperor had sent Yang Tinghe away. , in order to help Wang Hao ascend to the throne, and now he is waiting for Zhang Zhou to make a big sacrificeAfter the meeting, they suddenly realized that whether Wang Hao should be a Hanlin bachelor or not was not that important. No matter how Wang Hao said it, he was still the top pick in the eleventh year of Chenghua, and he had been struggling in the Hanlin Academy for more than 20 years. Old Hanlin.

Wang Hao's rise to power will not affect the reputation of the Hanlin Academy system.

But now a copy of the Ming Dynasty Huidian is almost going to overthrow the entire Ming Hanlin system.

Seeing that everyone around him was silent, Xie Qian asked, "Is it too late to urgently transfer the husband back to Beijing now?"

Li Dongyang said, "It's too late, I have to transfer him." . I will try my best to mention this matter to His Majesty, and wait until Yang Jiefu returns to Beijing before making a decision."

Now Li Dongyang doesn't care about having anything to do with Wang Hao. What little infighting there is, it’s all on the same boat.

If this Ming Dynasty publication is really printed, everyone will lose face. We must advance and retreat together on this matter.

Wang Hao sighed, "I'm afraid it's hard for your Majesty to tell you."

Wang Hao wanted to remind them that what Zhang Zhou has brought out now is the entire Ming Dynasty Code. Even if you want Find ways to delay, say what you need to proofread and add to, don't forget that the emperor only gave you two days, but now you are using this to delay Yang Jiefu's return to Beijing. Doesn't it mean that it will have to wait a month or two?

Why should the emperor not take the credit for revising the classics and let you civil servants delay

Could it be said that when Yang Tinghe returned to the capital, the additions and changes to this book would have a big effect?

Liu Jiandao, "I need you to firm up your opinion on this matter."

This is putting pressure on Wang Hao.

Okay, you stand with us. Our cabinet represents the highest power of the civil service, and you represent the Hanlin Academy, which compiles books. Let’s say together that this book is still worthy. When it comes to discussion, if we ask the emperor to postpone the review, will the emperor not give us face?

Wang Hao smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, nothing happened after taking office. Wang Hao suddenly understood the various difficulties Cheng Minzheng had encountered.

"This is not enough. After revising the book, I still have to talk to Bingkuan." Liu Jian also changed his name to Zhang Zhou. Well, it’s no longer appropriate to be inappropriate. Someone who can casually produce the complete copy of the Ming Dynasty Hui Dian may do something next. If the relationship is at loggerheads, it’s not like now that we can sit down and negotiate.

"Who is going?" Liang Chu asked.

Xie Qian next to him almost wanted to say, go ahead.

Wang Hao took the initiative to take on this job and said, "I'd better let you go. Bingkuan and I have a relationship as masters. Speaking of which, I have never visited him alone."

The three cabinet members could also see that Wang Hao was suffering from this matter.

Zhang Zhou has never visited Wang Hao alone, but now he asked a person who was a teacher to take the initiative to visit the students. It would be embarrassing to tell him.

Xie Qian smiled and said, "Ji Well, speaking of it, in BingkuanBefore I won the top prize, I went to visit him, but he turned me away. It didn't matter. Have a good talk with him, they are all from Hanyuan, what can't be said?"

Li Dongyang almost wanted to win over Xie Qian.

Xie Yuqiao, it's not you now When you talk nonsense, you are just rubbing salt into Wang Jizhi's wounds.

Liu Jian said, "Jizhi, I'll leave this matter to you." Things have been accomplished, and this memorial will be written by the cabinet. You don’t need to worry too much about what I’ve asked you to do. ”

It means that you are only responsible for talking to Zhang Zhou.

To appease Zhang Zhou and make him agree to postpone the publication, our cabinet will do the rest for the Hanlin Academy. Do it.

"Write immediately. "Li Dongyang said, "I urgently want to recruit my husband back to Beijing. ”

Wang Hao still took an official sedan and went to visit Zhang Zhou’s house in person.

For Wang Hao, this step was actually not that difficult. He had already done many things. He thought about making it clear to Zhang Zhou, especially because he wanted to know what role Zhang Zhou played behind the scenes of his becoming a Hanlin scholar.

Waiting for Wang Hao to arrive, he had not even waited for the submission. After receiving the notice, Zhang Zhou came out in person.

For no other reason than that Sun Shangqi knew Wang Hao's sedan. When he saw Wang Hao's sedan approaching the door, he hurried to notify Zhang. Zhou.

After all, Sun Shangqi was born in Jinyiwei, and he knew the rules of officialdom. If the master came to the door in person, if the student did not show enough etiquette, it would have a great impact on his reputation.

“Scholar Wang. "Zhang Zhou respectfully saluted Wang Hao.

"Bingkuan"

Wang Hao smiled apologetically.

Zhang Zhou respectfully invited Wang Hao into the courtyard. The former examiner and examinee still had a superior-subordinate relationship, but Wang Hao knew that his status and influence in the court could not be compared with Zhang Zhou.

And this time Wang Hao also knew that he was coming. I have something to ask for."

Zhang Zhou invited Wang Hao to the main hall, and with all the courtesy, he asked, "If Bachelor Wang has something to do, you can explain it to the Hanlin Academy, or just inform the students.

Wang Hao said, "Bingkuan, you don't have to be humble. I chose you as Jieyuan because of your talent. I just choose officials for the imperial court." I came to see you today about the ceremony. Today, His Majesty has handed over the complete version of the ceremony to the cabinet, and I and Liang Chuliang have gone through it together."

Wang Hao said that day After briefly talking about the matter, he finally said bluntly, "The intention of the cabinet is that after Yang Jiefu returns to the court, he will be responsible for the fine revision of the book. After all, he will be the main author of the previous revisions." . ”

Zhang Zhou nodded in understanding and said, “The matter of repairing books does not happen day and night. It is only natural that we have to wait for Minister Yang to return to the court.” "It's just"

"It's just what?" Wang Hao thought Zhang Zhou was going to refuse.

Zhang Zhou sighed, "I'm just afraid that Yang Shi will be delayed in my hometown for a year and a half." Can't come back. "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
