Chapter 035: The Publication of "The Stone" (5)

On the way out of the palace, Hong Xinjia couldn't help frowning slightly, it stands to reason that it is difficult to attract the attention of His Majesty such a small matter as publishing books, even if Lin Wan'er is famous and has contributed funds to help the people in Jinan Mansion, but a simple verbal reward is a great gift, where is the need to be so attentive.

Hong Xinjia has been in the imperial court for many years, knows the truth of the official, when General Xiahou went to the Zhenbei Army, Hong Xinjia once asked for an order to go to the border with the general to drive horses and whips, General Xiahou said a meaningful, intriguing words: "If today's Da Ding, the scholar has become the minister of the humerus, this capital always needs a Confucian who can suppress the scene to share the worries and solve problems for His Majesty, and I will be at ease when I come back that day." Xinjia, you're here, I'll be much more relieved. ”

Hong Xinjia kept this sentence in mind and never forgot it.

Hong Xinjia quickly followed behind a little eunuch, although he has not been in conflict with Prime Minister Pan in recent years, he can still be harmonious on the surface, and secretly he is indeed the main force in Shangjing to balance the prime minister's line.

With so many years of experience and intuition as an official, Hong Xinjia feels that publishing is definitely not such a simple thing on the surface, since His Majesty personally summoned him, it was just an oral message, but he did not make an explicit decree, indicating that His Majesty did not want more people to know about this matter, and the seemingly simple things may not be so simple behind them.

Hong Xinjia had no sleep all night, took advantage of the slight morning light, got up and put on his clothes, walked to the desk, and personally grinded the ink, the cold of the capital is a cold and cold, and the cold of the Zhenbei Army is dry and cold, as long as he sits on a horse and runs along the boundless prairie, even if it is cold, he will feel warm, if he drinks a few sips of mare's milk wine, the sweat will flow down the back, hearty.

Hong Xinjia has been in Shangjing for many years, but he is still not used to the coldness here. His Majesty is close to the literati, and almost does not summon the military ministers in private, but tonight he was suddenly summoned, so that Hong Xinjia inevitably did not think much about it, and he had to ask the general for instructions on this matter.

Hong Xinjia exhaled a breath of hot air into the palm of his hand, picked up the brush, and frowned slightly. The pen wrote: "His Majesty xià summons. Publication matters for Lin Wan'er in Lanzhou. ”

A black-tailed Hai Dongqing fell from the sky, and Hong Xinjia rolled the paper into a paper roll and stuffed it into the trap box at Hai Dongqing's tail. Reaching out to stroke Hai Dongqing's feathers, Hai Dongqing spread his wings and flew high as if he understood the words, and went straight to the sky. rushed headlong to the north, and disappeared in an instant.

Hong Xinjia let out a long breath. Then he changed into court clothes and drove to the publishing department, Zhu Zhishan hurriedly went out and knelt on his knees, and shouted: "Xiaguan Zhu Zhishan knocks on Lord Shangshu." But there were some doubts in my heart. How could the official of the Ministry of War Shangshu come to his own Qingshui Yamen, and it has been a little unpeaceful recently, such as Pan Renmei and Lin Wan'er coming to the yamen indiscriminately. And then there was the military department Shangshu.

Hong Xinjia didn't get out of the car, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage: "Raise your head and speak." ”

Zhu Zhishan raised his head slightly. Looking at this resolute, capable and solemn Lord Shangshu, a smile appeared on his slightly chubby face.

Hong Xinjia glanced at Zhu Zhishan, and sighed in his heart that there are no such sesame petty officials in the middle of the capital who are angry, Hong Xinjia opened his mouth and said: "Zhu Zhishan, Lin Wan'er's can be published." ”

Zhu Zhishan showed an embarrassed and surprised look on his face, one was the secretary of the military department, and the other was the son of the Pan family, Zhu Zhishan felt extremely embarrassed, it was not easy to offend both ends, but he always had to offend one.

Hong Xinjia sighed slightly, stretched out his index finger and pointed upward, Zhu Zhishan's whole person was as if he had been struck by thunder and lightning, how could His Majesty interfere in this matter, but looking back, it was a matter of another level, and it had nothing to do with himself, a petty official, no matter how big your official position as prime minister is, it is not as big as the emperor's majesty, and he must act according to his majesty's intentions.

Hong Xinjia lowered the curtains, and the carriage slowly left, heading towards the splendid Jinluan Hall in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Zhishan watched the carriage leave slowly, stood up with his legs a little disobedient, his clothes behind him were wet, and slowly walked back to the Qingshui Yamen, and sat on the seat.

For a long time, Zhu Zhishan let out a long breath, stood up, picked up the only important big seal scroll in the yamen, and ran back to the house. The little handyman in the publishing department looked at each other, and Master Zhu was able to run so fast.

Zhu Zhishan is famous for his fear of the inside, and he doesn't dare to come out of the atmosphere at home on weekdays, and as soon as he gets home today, he hurriedly shouts: "Take out the one hundred taels of silver tickets I gave you some time ago." ”

Zhu's long waist is wide and fat, and he scolds Zhu Zhishan, and today he saw Zhu Zhishan so abnormal, and replied in a louder voice: "What do you shout, what do you shout, what do you shout, call the soul?" ”

Zhu Zhishan didn't have time to explain, he reached out and grabbed Zhu's shirt, opened his bow left and right and slapped him a few times, and Zhu was stunned. Zhu Zhishan snatched the one hundred taels of silver tickets and left the house without looking back, leaving Zhu sitting on the ground.

Zhu Shi felt aggrieved and cried: "What kind of sin have I done in my life, I would marry you such a wreck, and I can't bring much silver to my family in a year, how can I support a large family with just your little money." On weekdays, you pretend to be a grandson in front of outsiders, and you only know that you are a hero at home, what kind of hero are you. The more Zhu thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he talked about the grievances he had received after many years of marriage from beginning to end, and then chewed it again from end to end.

Zhu Zhishan held the big seal and hurriedly went to the Lin family's courtyard with a hundred taels of silver tickets. At this time, the Lin family's courtyard was also very lively, and Princess Roujia cried like a little cat, crying that her father did not agree to publish.

Lin Wan'er held Princess Roujia's little hand, wiped the tears on the face of the county lord of Roujia, and comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, if you can't publish, you won't publish, no one blames the princess." ”

Princess Roujia stopped crying with difficulty: "But on weekdays, my father loves me the most, and I promised everything, I don't know why I didn't agree this time." ”

Lin Wan'er smiled lightly, the two things that the emperor hated the most, one was that the minister had sole power, and the relatives had sole authority or the eunuch was in charge, and the other was that someone speculated about the holy will, whether it was a Ming monarch or a faint monarch, these two kinds of people generally would not end well. Not only did he figure out His Majesty's thoughts, but he also told His Majesty in a roundabout way, and it was reasonable for His Majesty to be angry, but he couldn't tell Princess Roujia straightforwardly, so he could only open his mouth and comfort: "Roujia." Majesty has its own thoughts, you don't have to be too sad. ”

Princess Roujia cried even more when she heard this: "Sister Wan'er, am I useless? You can't do such a small thing. ”

Lin Wan'er smiled dumbly, patted Princess Roujia's back, and before she could speak, Cordyceps Sinensis walked into the room: "Master Lin, Master Zhu Zhishan Zhu from the Publishing Department is here." ”

Lin Wan'er also raised it strangely. went out of the room to greet Zhu Zhishan. Lin Wan'er didn't hold a grudge against the past. Let the summer grass make tea and serve it.

Zhu Zhishan took a shallow sip, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Miss Wan'er." Last time, the lower officials were also forced to do so, and Pan Gongzi was forced behind his back, so he ...... I came to visit today, and I deliberately atonement for my sins. I hope that the relevant matters can be completed. ”

Lin Wan'er looked at Zhu Zhishan, and there didn't seem to be any conspiracy. Puzzled, he asked, "Lord Zhu, why?" With a wave of his hand, he asked Winterworm to take out a printed copy.

Zhu Zhishan opened it, held up the big seal, and pressed it hard without hesitation this time. opened his mouth and said: "It's not a secret, Hong Shangshu of the Ministry of War came in person this morning and asked the subordinate to allow it to be published. So the lower officials hurried over. ”

After doing this, Zhu Zhishan seemed to inadvertently point to the roof. If you don't stay, you will return it, get up and leave.

Lin Wan'er stood up and said, "Lord Zhu, please stay." Motioning for Winter Worm to take a copy, he continued: "Wan'er has nothing to repay Lord Zhu, here is a copy for Lord Zhu." ”

Zhu Zhishan took it in his hand, smiled slightly, reached out and touched the cover, and left the Lin family's courtyard.

Lin Wan'er couldn't wait to open it and want to take a look at the big seal worth a thousand gold, but the whole person was slightly stunned, and she smiled slightly, a neatly folded hundred taels of silver tickets were lying in the book, as if no one had ever touched it.

Princess Roujia walked out of the room, her eyes came to the book, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, and said in a lost voice: "My father said that it can't be published, why can it be now?" ”

Lin Wan'er was happy and said, "Your Majesty must want to surprise the princess, so ......"

Princess Roujia instantly burst into tears and laughed: "I said, my father loves me so much, I won't refuse to agree." ”

Lin Wan'er was also happy, His Majesty really didn't agree if she didn't agree before, and the reason why she agreed later was because she really wanted to weaken the power of the prime minister. The reason why His Majesty the Emperor did this was nothing more than to convey a meaning to Lin Wan'er: The holy will is unpredictable, how can you be a little woman who can guess?

On the way back to the Yamen, Zhu Zhishan couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he went around in a big circle, but it was okay, his own things were always his own, and it was useless to force them if they were not his own. Zhu Zhishan raised his hand, thinking that it was not for nothing, at least he had left a copy.

Suddenly, two thin notes fell from the book, Zhu Zhishan looked at it, and his eyes were surprised, it turned out to be two silver tickets. Zhu Zhishan hurriedly picked up the silver ticket, stuffed it into his sleeve, turned his head, and went straight home instead of going to the yamen.

Zhu was still sitting on the ground crying, and when he saw Zhu Zhishan coming back, he picked up a broom and chased Zhu Zhishan with anger on his face.

Zhu Zhishan shouted while fleeing: "Madam, don't fight, don't fight." ”

Zhu Shi was willing to cry and shout: "You hit me, you just hit me." I haven't been beaten in my mother's house, and you beat me. ”

The two of you are chasing me in the small courtyard, so it's not lively. Zhu Zhishan took a few brooms and begged: "Madam, don't fight, I got the one hundred taels of silver tickets back." ”

"Really?" Zhu Shi dropped the broom and asked with surprise on his face.

Zhu Zhishan took out a silver ticket, and Zhu snatched it up, it was really a hundred taels of silver tickets, although it was not the previous one, but it was still exciting. At this moment, the Zhu family also forgot about being beaten, and said: "Master, you really have the ability, I'll make you tea." ”

Zhu Zhishan rubbed his arm that was beaten, and sat down secretly, Lin Wan'er gave a total of two hundred taels, and she fell one hundred taels, so she didn't have to be teased by her colleagues when she went out to drink flower wine in the future. Zhu Zhishan looked up, the lady who was busy making tea, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, so many years have passed, Zhu has not added a piece of jewelry, has not worn a new dress, it is really difficult for her.

Zhu Zhishan sighed, took out the remaining one hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to Zhu: "Madam, there are still one hundred taels here, you can also keep it." ”

Zhu's eyes brightened, he took the silver ticket, and before the smile could be shown on his face, he was replaced by a wave of anger: "Okay, you Zhu Zhishan, you dare to swallow it privately, do you have other private money?" Hey, I've been with you for so many years, you were just a petty official back then, I don't hate marrying you, I didn't expect it...... Whining...... You ......"

Zhu Zhishan touched his brows, he really wanted to slap himself twice, why did he take out all the silver tickets.

(I watched a video and said that the most common line of TVB is "What kind of hero are you", so there is Zhu's last sentence.) Actually, Lan Ying is quite envious of Zhu Zhishan and his wife, it's very simple. (To be continued)
