Chapter 338: Marriage with Jiangsu and Zhejiang
After a while, Xu Feixu saw that it was not too early, so she said goodbye and left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But before she could reach the second gate, she met Xu Huizu who was coming home from work.
The relationship between their sister and brother is very good, standing together and chatting a few words, if it is indeed too late now, maybe they will talk a little more.
In the end, Xu Feisu mentioned: "Huizu, you still pay more attention to Miaojin's marriage." ”
Xu Huizu said: "Hey, I'm not unconcerned, but now I don't have a good eye on the children of the Xun nobles who are the right age in the capital, they are not worthy of Miaojin, and the low-level ones are not suitable." Eldest sister, the three of you are all concubines of Wang Zheng, and you can't marry Miaojin to an ordinary family. ”
Xu Feixu also knew that Xu Miaojin's marriage was not easy to decide, so she just said: "You are so wasteful." There are a few good people in Beiping, but it's a pity that their status is too low. ”
Xu Feixu said again: "Have you seen your brother-in-law?" ”
Xu Huizu said: "Naturally, I've seen it, but I'm not good at talking much, so I'll go back to the backyard to change my clothes and then go to the front yard." ”
Xu Feixu understood in her heart that although what Xu Huizu said was reasonable, it was true that he was unwilling to have more contact with Zhu Di. Zhu Di is the king of the domain, and their family is one of the top magnates in the Ming Dynasty, although Yun Xi seems to be a generous person who is not taboo about this, but the emperor's mind is still not to guess, it is best to be cautious, so Xu Huizu has not had much contact with Zhu Di.
Xu Feixu said a few more words to Xu Huizu and went out. Zhu Di had already finished talking to Xu Zengshou at this time, and then politely refused Xu Zengshou and Xu Huizu's request to stay for dinner after changing clothes, and left with Xu Feixu.
On the way, Xu Feixu and Zhu Di said: "Did you say anything useful to my fourth brother?" ”
Zhu Di said: "The main thing is that some things happened in the capital, after all, Di Bao is a dry text, not as clear as Xu Zengshou." As for the rest, there is still nothing. Even in Beijing, Xu Zengshou didn't know where Yun Xi's next place might be. ”
"It seems that if you want to recommend yourself, you can't even know the place, how can you recommend yourself? When we know, we don't have time to react in Beiping, so let's wait. ”
Zhu Di was reluctant to say more about this matter, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Have you heard Xu Huizu say why Yunxi asked the Xu family to prepare for the wedding of your mother's third sister?" ”
Xu Fei hurriedly said: "No, he didn't tell me at all, you tell me what's going on?" ”
==========================================================
Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou sent Zhu Di and his wife away, and after returning to the lobby, Xu Huizu said to Xu Zengshou: "Hurry up and prepare for Xu Mengyu's wedding." ”
Xu Zengshou said: "What? Did he really let King An marry regardless of filial piety? ”
Xu Huizu sat down and said, "You didn't go to the court today, because King Yan probably didn't go out because of what King Yan was going to do." Today, His Majesty has decided when he went to the court, from tomorrow, the royal family, civil and military officials will only serve for one year, if they still mourn their deceased parents in their hearts, they can mourn at home, but it will not affect the loyalty and marriage of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Xu Zengshou also sat down, but said sarcastically: "The decision he made by himself was the first to be practiced by King An." He himself will not have too much criticism, after all, since ancient times, the emperor has changed the sun and the moon, but the third brother-in-law will suffer criticism. ”
Xu Huizu said: "It won't be like what you said. Your Majesty's decree, can King An still not obey it? Everybody knows that. ”
"Don't talk about this, Your Majesty has already asked Qin Tian to supervise the election of the auspicious day of the zodiac. More than half of their six ceremonies have already passed, if it weren't for the sudden death of the first emperor, the wedding would have been held last year, and it is estimated that the wedding would have been held at the end of June and the beginning of July. ”
"The dowry or something has been prepared for a long time, but you have to worry about the rest." Although the Xu family is Xu Huizu is the head of the family, Xu Zengshou takes care of the daily affairs of the family, so Xu Huizu instructed Xu Zengshou.
Although Xu Zengshou was very dissatisfied with Yun Xirang's wedding so early, he still attached great importance to his sister's wedding, and he also said: "I know." ”
Xu Huizu said a few more words to him about the wedding, and finally said: "Zengshou, you should stay away from King Yan in the future, it is not good for our family to have more contact with His Royal Highness King Yan." ”
Xu Zengshou said sullenly: "Yes." Although he was not willing to accept Xu Huizu's words, he would not talk back to Xu Huizu on the spot.
However, Xu Huizu also knew that Xu Zengshou was just saying it casually, just to save face, and he would contact Zhu Di in the future.
Fortunately, Zhu Di is in Beiping, and he can't get in touch with him if he wants to. Xu Huizu thought so.
======================================================
That night, in the southern part of the capital, it looked like a trader had stored his goods, but in fact there was a separate house, and several people met here again. (Chapter 242)
One of them said: "Your Majesty is going to admit students by province from the beginning of next year's examination, and there are only two or three places in the entire Zhejiang Province and Zhili Region, that is, one hundred people will be admitted at a time, and at most twenty-three of our people will enter the court." The emperor is going to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle! His voice was soft, but full of anger.
Another voice sounded: "And the Zheqi and Zhili regions, especially Zhili, cannot all be our human officials, so we will not have an advantage in the officialdom." ”
And he still hasn't changed Zhu Yuanzhang's discriminatory strategy against us, and Pan Ren's excerpts, including those who use our Zhejiang people as household officials, have been rejected again. Although it is a whole rejection rather than a separate target for us Jiangsu and Zhejiang people, it can't hide it from us. ”
Another voice sounded and said: "It seems that the method set before will not work, and in order to protect our interests, we must oppose him." ”
"But how to do it right needs to be considered. Try to provoke other people, and don't let our people be the first birds. Although the people who can mix in the officialdom are not rookies, they may not be indifferent. ”
Another person said: "But the current emperor is not stupid, but I am afraid that it will not be easy. What should I do first? ”
The former said: "First of all, it is necessary to increase the power of the four auxiliary officers!" ”
"Although the four auxiliary officials are still far inferior to the prime minister of the previous dynasty, the emperor's energy is limited, and he will always hand over many things to the four auxiliary officials. Our purpose is to make this process as fast as possible, as long as we can let the four auxiliary officials have the power of the prime minister of the previous dynasty, then we will have the opportunity to push our own people to the position of the four auxiliary officials, so as to regain power! ”
"Don't just look at the immediate future. Today's emperor is in a stable position and is not biased towards us, it is estimated that there is nothing possible in the Jianye Dynasty. But we still have children and grandchildren, there will always be outstanding talents to follow, but sitting on the throne may not always be wise, we can't reach it, and we have to pave the way for our children and grandchildren! ”
The others were a little moved when they heard his words. They also know that there is little hope of confronting Yun Xi, but no one is willing to verbally admit defeat. But this man has already decided to sacrifice his generation to pave the way for future generations, and he has said it thoroughly. Whether it was his words thoroughly, or this sacrifice for the sake of the next generation, they had to be moved.
After a while, one of them said, "If only there was something to use within the royal family, hey." ”
