After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Zhiyuan and the three to resign again, Zhang Lingyang solemnly said: "Zhang Zhiyuan, Sun Dingan, and Jiang Han listen to the order!" ”

"The old minister obeys the order!" Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them glanced at each other, got up from their seats, and knelt down in front of the hall.

"From now on, Zhang Zhiyuan, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, will be the Taifu, Ningguo Gongsun Ding'an will be the Taishi, and Zhenguo Gongjiang Han will be the Taibao, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will begin to teach the prince to read."

"Old ministers, thank God!" Chrysostom Yuyan has already said that Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them will not be able to regret it if they want to, so they can only receive the order and thank them.

After Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them retreated, Zhang Lingyang instructed Xiao Fuzi: "Xiao Fuzi, tell me to go down, in the future, whenever Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them enter the palace, they will all be picked up in a soft sedan car, no need to fail!" In addition, you go to the Tai Hospital and ask the Tai Doctor to go to the home of the three of them tomorrow to check their pulse.

Remember, every half a month in the future, you will have to diagnose the pulse of Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them, understand? ”

"Long live the lord, rest assured, the minions can be saved!"

The reason why he did this was because Zhang Lingyang didn't want Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them to 'die young', otherwise it would not be so easy to choose a suitable candidate for the prince's division.

In addition, there is another point, that is, Zhang Lingyang deliberately did it for the ministers of the court and the central government to see, so that the courtiers understood that as long as they did their best for the Great Zhou Dynasty, I would definitely not treat them badly and give them the glory they deserved.

You must know that such an honor is something that Zheng Yongji, the first assistant to the cabinet, cannot enjoy.

That's right, letting the imperial doctor diagnose their pulse is a special honor for Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them. Otherwise, with the identity of Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them, what kind of famous doctor can't be invited?

Three days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Maybe Zhang Lingyang felt that it was not enough to treat the three old ministers like this, and that morning, just after breakfast, Zhang Lingyang called the crown prince Zhao Hao, the second prince Zhao Han and the third prince Zhao Xu to the Chen'an Palace, told them a few words, and asked the three of them to personally drive out of the palace to welcome Zhang Zhiyuan, Sun Dingan, and Jiang Han into the palace to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On this day, all the officials and envoys of the four grades in Luoyang City participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At the palace gate, when he saw the prince personally driving Zhang Zhiyuan and the three into the palace, he was envious of the ministers in the court.

In particular, Zheng Yongji, the first assistant to the cabinet, was eager to replace him.

But he could only think about it.

Because Zhang Zhiyuan and the three have withdrawn from the court for many years, neither their qualifications nor prestige can be compared with Zheng Yongji.

Zhang Zhiyuan is the former chief assistant of the cabinet, and he also served as an auxiliary minister, and the prestige of the DPRK and China is very high, and Zheng Yongji cannot compare.

Sun Ding'an is the Duke of Ning Guo, the head of the military, and has also served as an auxiliary minister, and Zheng Yongji can't compare.

Jiang Han, the only one with poor qualifications, is also one of the founding princes, one of the only three remaining princes in the imperial court, and also served as the president of the Royal Academy, even Zhang Lingyang respects him very much, Zheng Yongji still can't compare.

What's more, three days ago, Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them had been enshrined as Taifu, Taishi, and Taibao, which is the position of Zhengyipin. Although the three dukes are only honorable and have no real power in the court, they can't bear to be one level higher than Zheng Yongji in terms of rank.

Among the official positions of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the six Shangshu and the provincial feudal officials are the official titles of the second grade, and the first assistant of the cabinet is the official rank of the first rank, so in terms of official rank, Zhang Zhiyuan and the three of them pressed Zheng Yongji.

Although his eyes were red, Zheng Yongji was not jealous, nor was he jealous.

Besides, if the position of the third prince is changed with Zheng Yongji's cabinet chief, Zheng Yongji is not willing. Although the three dukes have a prominent official position, after all, they have no real power, how can they have the position of the head of the cabinet, the head of the civil officials.

So just his eyes were red for a while, and Zheng Yongji was relieved.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held very grandly and lively.

During the banquet, Zhang Lingyang personally opened his mouth and asked the crown prince Zhao Hao, the second prince Zhao Han, and the third prince Zhao Xu to bow three times to Zhang Zhiyuan, Sun Dingan, and Jiang Han respectively, and toasted a cup of apprentice tea.

Under the witness of everyone, the status of master and apprentice was decided.

During the banquet, the happiest person was not others, but Queen Wang, because with the end of the apprenticeship, Zhao Hao and Zhang Zhiyuan officially became a master-apprentice relationship.

From now on, Zhao Hao will completely end the situation of having no confidants, and the connections of Zhang Zhiyuan and the three will also begin to be used by Zhao Hao.

As for Zhang Zhiyuan's other two apprentices, Zhao Han and Zhao Xu, they have been sealed to Myanmar and Borneo, and they do not pose a threat to Zhao Hao's crown prince at all.

Therefore, Queen Wang did not care about the two of them worshipping Zhang Zhiyuan as teachers at the same time.

As for the other princes, although their mother's family is now more prominent than Queen Wang's mother's family, Zhao Hao now has the support of the three princes, so in this way, Queen Wang will naturally not put them in her eyes anymore.

In a happy mood, Queen Wang couldn't help but drink two more glasses, and when the banquet dispersed, Queen Wang was already a little drunk.

As for why Queen Wang is so happy today, Zhang Lingyang naturally knows it.

After everyone dispersed, Zhang Lingyang and Queen Wang came to Queen Wang's bedroom hand in hand, looking at Queen Wang lying on the bed, Zhang Lingyang smiled and said: "The Queen is satisfied!" ”

"What is the concubine satisfied with?" Queen Wang pretended, "The concubine was not dissatisfied with anything!" ”

"Do you want to continue to pretend to be confused in front of me?" Zhang Lingyang was not angry, but said noncommittally: "I told you before, although I have some favors on other concubines, but Hao'er's position as the crown prince can be threatened by no one.

That's what I said to you before, and that's what I say now. Hao'er is my first child, and I expect different from other princes. ”

In front of Queen Wang, Zhang Lingyang didn't hide anything, because he was already very annoyed and tired in the face of the chaotic government every day, and if he had to wear a mask in front of his wife, then Zhang Lingyang would become a nervous disorder if he was not tired to death.

So in front of Queen Wang, Zhang Lingyang did not have any disguise.

Zhang Lingyang didn't care about the various means made by Queen Wang for Zhao Hao's future. After all, Zhang Lingyang can understand Queen Wang's mood.

Although the queen's maiden home used to decline, there is still a plaque on the top of the mansion. But since the queen's father was stripped of the title, the queen has a lot of pressure in her heart.

Because Queen Wang suddenly found that compared with those concubines with prominent backgrounds, she no longer had any advantages at all. Counting the more favored concubines in the harem, in addition to the noble concubines, the fathers of the remaining concubines are either feudal officials, or important ministers of the imperial court, or princesses of the vassal country, or Victoria and Alice, who have only been in the palace for a year, and there are two Western powers standing behind them that are not inferior to the Great Zhou, how can the queen not have a sense of crisis?
