Yun Xi comforted Chen Shou a few more words, and then let him come down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yun Xi asked again: "Are there more noble children studying in the country now?" Who are they? But although he was asking Xu Zongshi, Yun Xi actually knew about it through other channels, and now he just asked casually.

Xu Zongshi said: "Your Majesty, there are still a lot, Xu Tai, the second son of Wei Guogong, Xue Xiyang, the second son of Xue Dudu, and others are all studying in Guozijian. ”

The noble family doesn't all want their children and grandchildren to be military generals, and the generals will inevitably die before the battle! And even if you become a civil official, even if you are promoted slowly, at least there is no danger to your life, so many families choose a few children from the non-hereditary title to study in the martial arts hall. Even if you can't be a high-ranking official, you don't have to be a hereditary military officer to be an idle official.

Yun Xi asked a few other things, and under normal circumstances, he could announce his return to the palace, but today Yun Xi did not return to the palace, but was waiting for Xu Zongshi to speak.

Xu Zongshi said to Yunxi: "Your Majesty, the minister is over seventy years old this year, and his body is entangled, and he takes leave to recuperate at home for half a month every month, and he can't do much for the country, so please allow the minister to return to his hometown for the elderly." ”

Yun Xi was waiting for him to resign. Xu Zongshi has been in this position for seven years since the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu as the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian and has been in this position for seven years, although the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian is not as good as the sitting teacher of the imperial examination, and whether the supervisor can be an official has little to do with the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, but it is also an important position.

Yun Xi didn't think that Xu Zongshi would oppose him, but after all, his thoughts were out of step with Yun Xi, so Yun Xi had already had the idea of removing.

However, Xu Zongshi is old, and he is a famous Confucian minister, and Yun Xi is not easy to take the throne at the beginning of his succession, and he has other plans, so he will go like this for the time being.

However, Xu Zongshi probably knows it in his heart, and he is also old, so he has already submitted a resignation at the beginning of this year, but Yun Xi refused at that time.

Today, Xu Zongshi submitted his resignation again, and Yun Xi did not refuse. Yun Xi first kept the car twice, Xu Zongshi of course expressed his desire to retire, and then Yun Xi said: "Since Mr. Xu is so insistent, then I will approve the old man's resignation." ”

Xu Zongshi said: "Thank you for your grace. ”

Yun Xi said: "But as soon as the old gentleman leaves, there will be a vacancy in this country's priest wine, does the old gentleman have a recommended candidate?" ”

Xu Zongshi was not stupid, and immediately said: "Only Your Majesty is arbitrary, how can there be any reason for the ministers to put their beaks?" ”

Yun Xi then said, "Then I will say it." Guozijian assistant teacher Chen Nanbin, I think it's good, what does Xu Zongshi think? ”

Xu Zong's solid heart is bright: Chen Nanbin is indeed a Confucian minister, nor is he a descendant of Yun Xi, but he is more in tune with Yun Xi in terms of ideas, so after Yun Xi succeeded to the throne, he promoted him after discovering such a person, and appointed Chen Nanbin as an assistant teacher of Guozijian this year, probably waiting for this day.

However, Xu Zongshi, as an official who came out of Hongwu for four years, has survived peacefully until the Jianye years, and he will definitely not say what he shouldn't say, and after hearing Yun Xi's words, he said: "Assistant Chen Nanbin is indeed very good, Your Majesty is really wise." ”

Yun Xi smiled, said a few more words, and then finalized Xu Zongshi's treatment after retirement, which was already very courteous to Xu Zongshi, and then returned to the palace.

==========================================================

On the official road in Binzhou, Shandong, several carriages with hundreds of Han guards were driving unhurriedly. Several middle-aged men led the way on horseback at the front of the procession, and if there were any clear-eyed people standing on the side of the road now, they could tell at a glance that they were wearing the clothes of the palace guards.

This group of people is to rush to the capital of Yanwang Zhu Di and his group. It is already the middle of April, and the fifth day of May next month is Zhu Yuanzhang's death day, and Zhu Di is going to the capital to worship Zhu Yuanzhang.

In fact, the general prince does not have to go to the capital to worship, it is the same in his own fiefdom, when Queen Ma died, the vassal kings from all over the country participated in the funeral, but a year later on the death day did not come to the capital again.

But Zhu Di is more special now. He is now the oldest of all the clans in the Ming Dynasty, and after the death of Zhu Li, the king of Jin Gong, he also served as the head of the Zongren Mansion, so he came to the capital to worship according to the rules.

Zhu Di did not ride a horse today, but sat in a carriage with his wife Concubine Xu to discuss something.

Zhu Di said: "You don't actually need to go to the capital with me, now Gao Sui is seriously ill again, although Gao Chi stayed in Beiping to take care of him, and Zhang (Gao Chi's wife) is in Beiping, but it is always not as reassuring as you in Beiping." ”

Concubine Xu smiled: "The Zhang family has been helping me take care of the housework for several years now, everything is very proper, there is nothing to worry about." ”

"Although Gao Sui was not lightly ill at the beginning, he found several famous doctors and said that it was not a big deal! And when we set off, it had improved a lot, but the body was still weak and needed to be raised. ”

"Besides, my mother's third sister is also getting married, so I'm going back to help."

"Huh?" Zhu Di said suspiciously: "Didn't your third sister give it to the twenty-second brother Zhu Ying?" Although the death of my father and the emperor was only forbidden to marry for one month, we all have to serve as sons and serve 27 months of mourning, and now less than a year has passed, why are we going to get married? ”

Concubine Xu said: "I don't know, it's from Huizu's letter. Hui Zu's letter said that His Majesty asked them to prepare something to marry. ”

Zhu Di said: "What kind of moth does Yun Xi want to do? ”

Concubine Xu said: "Then I don't know. Hui Zu said in the letter that he was also at a loss for words. ”

Then Concubine Xu continued: "And my fourth sister is also fifteen years old this year, it's time to find a good family for her." Although I don't know my fourth sister well, I'm my own sister, and I'm good at talking to anything as a woman. ”

"Your four sisters?" Zhu Di thought for a while and said, "You were born in the same year that your old father-in-law died, right?" It's fifteen this year, why haven't you decided on someone yet? ”

Concubine Xu said: "When the first emperor was still there, where did our family dare to set someone to come casually?" What if the Emperor had any other arrangements? ”

"When you wait for the big funeral, you can't hurry up and settle down. Now that exactly a year has passed, it is time to start to see if there are any suitable children in each family. ”

Zhu Di didn't have any thoughts about his sister-in-law, but he thought about it and said, "How about marrying her to our family in Beiping?" ”

Concubine Xu understood that Zhu Di wanted to use her fourth sister to entrap her own generals. But Concubine Xu thought for a while and said, "Our generals in Beiping have a lower status, right?" You have to be a son of a lord's family to get married. ”

Zhu Di thought about it, the highest level of his cronies and generals was just a commander, and the hereditary future was just a command, so that the daughter of the Duke of Wei was too low to be qualified.

Zhu Di then let go of the topic and talked about other things. Concubine Xu also knew that it was useless for them to talk more here, so she also let go of the topic and talked about something else.
