Chapter 429: Brilliant and Brilliant

Zhang Yue's eldest son's washing three and full moon wine were all lively and festive. Although Zhang Zhuo, the grandfather, could not come back on official business, a few days after the birth of the child, the letter he brought from Nanjing arrived, and the name was prepared. If it is a son, this generation of men is from the fire, and the brilliance is brilliant, and Zhang Zhuo is a Ye character; And if it is a daughter, it is a Xuan word, which means that daylily forgets worries. Although this is a celebrity who is satisfied, it is a nickname that only calls children up and down.

After all, even though the doctor said that Zhang Ye was physically strong, the Gu family was still afraid that the child would die if he was born in a rich and noble family, so he instructed the family not to use honorific titles until they were ten years old. As a result, Jingguan has become a two words that everyone in the family is talking about. However, when everyone was rejoicing in such a happy event, Zhang Yue, who had just been promoted to the ranks of his father, had to deal with the transfer of troops and horses from all over the country on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to start dealing with the transfer of troops and horses in various places.

At the end of June, Zhu Rong, the governor of the Liaodong Army, selected 5,000 elite troops from his subordinate guards and Tatar Jurchen troops, and led them to Beijing in July; Liu Zhong, the commander of the eastern capital of the province, led 3,000 champions to Beijing in August. Although Zhu Di is only saying that he is preparing to tour Xingxing and Kaiping in the north, but in such a big battle, as long as the person is not confused, he can see the emperor's high-spirited fighting spirit.

In the face of the boiling discussion about the Northern Expedition, the Dongfang clan had to complain behind his back. This night, I asked for a good night and went out of the big room in the north courtyard, because Zhang You was busy handing over official business in the past few days and had not come back early, so she blocked Zhang Yue at the gate of the courtyard, and regardless of her son and daughter-in-law, she actually said something straightforwardly.

"Brother Yue, although I am a woman, I also know some things outside. The merits of this military department are first of all the merits of leading troops in the north, then to the south of Liaodong, then to the southwest of Miaoyi, and those in the interior who are not worried. Now that the north is about to fight, this is the safest thing to do with the army, and it will be back in less than a year, which is better than handing over the south to the place where there is no light of day. You are working in the military department again, and you are favored by the emperor, so you should also choose a good place for your second uncle......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chao frowned: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about at this time!" Dad's appointment as the chief military officer of Jiaozhi is about to be appointed, how can it be a child's play in the court? Moreover, my father is willing to do it, what does it have to do with the third brother? ”

"What is irrelevant, you mean that I don't know anything?" Dongfang was already angry in his heart, but now he was even more annoyed, "If he hadn't done something about appeasing Jiaozhi, how could the emperor think of your father?" If he hadn't been in the limelight, your father would have been able to get out of that place so easily, so why would he have to go up there and suffer? This Earl of Yangwu has already won the title, what is your father not satisfied with, how can he still think of fighting! ”

Seeing that Zhang Qi was embarrassed and sweating profusely, he said that he was there to persuade him, but Zhang Chao was so red by Dongfang's words that Zhang Yue was immediately annoyed. Although he said that he respects the elder on weekdays, but for such a second aunt, that is, a helpless honorific word, he had to sink his face when he saw that she was open-mouthed.

"The second aunt can't help but take it for granted! You should know better than me what kind of character the second uncle is, he has always been a very strong person, and he is naturally not visible in the nobles, why wouldn't he think about continuing to fight? The Northern Expedition is the first class of the military department, but it is necessary to know how many noble generals accompany each Northern Expedition? The middle army, the left sink, the right sentry, the left post, the right sentry, the forward, these dozen or so leading positions don't know how many people want to break the head, the second uncle is just a new earl, can he rob others? If it's just for a partial general, it's better than standing alone in Jiaonan? ”

Dongfang was dumbfounded by Zhang Yue's words, and Zhang Chao nodded again and again. Even so, Zhang Yue knew that beating the second aunt must not sound the drum without a heavy hammer, but to make a blow to anger her arrogance, so he accentuated his tone: "The eldest brother also said just now, how can it be a child's play in the court. Others see the town guard Jiaozhi as moving to the left, but the second uncle doesn't see it that way. He wants to go on his own, and he has the heart to do something practical! The words just now spread to the outside world is resentment, and when they reach the ears of the second uncle, will he be happy? If the second uncle can be rewarded for his achievements again, isn't it for the second aunt and you and the eldest brother and the second brother? ”

Seeing Zhang Yuesu squeezing his hand and leaving without looking back, Dongfang only felt angry and anxious, and couldn't help but glared at the two sons on the left and right: "Look at you, you will only help others talk at this time!" He...... There is an elder in his eyes! ”

Zhang Chao had to stop talking, Li Yun never talked too much in front of her mother-in-law, but Zhao Fen did not have a trouble-free temperament. Zhang Yue's words just now were warnings and beatings, she listened to them extremely happily, and immediately interjected next to her: "Mrs., don't let down the kindness of the third brother." Everyone knows the temperament of the old man, and since he was appointed, he has walked a lot more briskly, and if the words of the wife just reached his ears, I am afraid that he would not be happy. Besides, Aunt Fang's father is a toast from the southwest, so he will never drag his feet in this matter......"

"Shut up!" Although Zhang Qi is very arrogant on weekdays, he has always respected his mother, and at this time, he couldn't help but stop his daughter-in-law in one gulp, seeing that Dongfang's face was so angry that his face was pale, he hurriedly persuaded two sentences clumsily, but in the end he burst out of a sentence that did not make sense, "Mother, if it weren't for Daddy's inability to bring me and my eldest brother this time, otherwise the two of us would like to go with us together......"

This time it was Li Yun and Zhao Fen's turn to turn pale. And after hearing such a clear and clear expression, Dongfang couldn't speak anymore, just clenched his fists blindly, and gradually thought of the fact that her husband had stayed in Fang Shui's heart for several nights in a row, that woman was the daughter of Barbarian Tusi, and that the dispute that had made her gloat earlier...... She even doubted for a while whether Zhang You would take this woman with her when she went on the expedition, and she was both worried and jealous in her heart.

Du Juan, who was already out of confinement, simply fed the child himself because of the abundant milk, and Zhang Yue naturally had no objection to this. Sun remembered that he had personally raised his son, so he turned a blind eye. The nurse had a rich monthly allowance, so she didn't complain. At this time, as soon as Zhang Yue opened the curtain and entered the east room, he saw Du Juan opening his clothes and breastfeeding the child, and he couldn't help but stand by the door with a smile.

Because of the addition of a quiet official to the third room, the Gu family sent Lingxi back to take care of it together. At this time, Lingxi happened to enter the door, and when he saw Zhang Yue standing there with a smile on his face, he smiled and quipped: "Young master watches day and night, can't you see enough?" ”

Zhang Yue didn't care about this ridicule, because he said with a smile: "People say that women are the most radiant when they feed their children, and it's really true." Don't talk about me, haven't you seen Xiao Jingguan tired of his mother's happiness all day long, where has he seen enough? ”

Du Juan didn't pay attention to one more person at first, and immediately raised her eyes when she heard the words, although in Zhang Yue's words, now that she is an old husband and wife, she doesn't need to avoid suspicion, she still couldn't help but turn sideways, and scolded in a low voice angrily. When the child was full, Amber hugged the bamboo bed on the side, she buttoned up her clothes and stood up, and was about to give Zhang Yue a roll of the eyes, who knew that he had already walked straight to the bed, teasing the Jing Guan who was going to sleep when he was full of food and drink, and after a while, he actually caused the child to cry. At that moment, he felt that the child's cry was really bright.

"How can there be a father like you in the world!"

Seeing this scene, Du Juan hurriedly stepped forward to drive Zhang Yue away, hugged the child and comforted him for a while, until Xiao Jingguan grinned with big black eyes, she was still reluctant to put it down, so she still held the baby in her hand, and when she returned to sit down on the kang, she pointed to the opposite side and said, "You sit over there, don't lean over and provoke the crying child." ”

"Okay, okay, can't I rely on you?"

Seeing Du Juan's rare coquettishness and anger, Zhang Yue had no choice but to sit down opposite, and when he saw that little girl was sleeping with his eyes closed, he couldn't help but sigh for his son's good luck. After settling down, he opened his mouth and said: "The second uncle is about to leave in the next few days, and it is inevitable that there will be miscellaneous things, except when necessary, you just take advantage of the Jingguan to hide, so as to save the second aunt pestering you like last time." The emperor ordered the requisition of troops from Liaodong and Shandong, and I am afraid that the rest of the places will follow. I'm going to be busy for a while, and my mother is going to Nanjing in about two days, and I have to work hard for you at home. ”

"There are so many people in our family, and you say as if I am the only one." Du Juan threw out the white eyes this time, and then returned to his usual expression, "Although you are in the military department, if the emperor really wants to go north, you are indeed indispensable when requisitioning military salaries." It's just that when my mother came to see me before, I vaguely mentioned that my father didn't approve of the royal expedition again, firstly, the emperor was old, and secondly, the military salary was too expensive. There are so many generals in the imperial court, and the British Duke is a famous general, why can't he choose a general to go on the expedition? ”

"The emperor has always been haunted by Qiu Fu's original defeat." Zhang Yue glanced at Amber and saw that she was just blindly burying herself in needlework there, so he withdrew his gaze, "In the eyes of the emperor, the British Duke has made great achievements in the war in the south, but the Northern Expedition is alone but may not be stable, let alone others." Moreover, if the DPRK and China are always supported by a general independently, others will also have gossip, and the second uncle will have to go out of the town to Jiaozhi, so we can't let our Zhang family occupy all the good things. Besides, the emperor is not a character who can live idle in the deep palace, not so much the northern expedition, but the pride of finding the former galloping field. Even if you want to persuade, you have to think slowly, and you can't be in a hurry. ”

Although he knew that his father-in-law was not an official who ignored his outspoken advice, Zhang Yue thought of the previous executions, the prisons, and the demeaning civil officials, he still added an additional sentence: "Father-in-law, I will try to remind you, and if your mother-in-law comes, you will also ask more." Since the three major halls were burned down, the emperor's temper has become more and more irritable, and if the persuasion is not lawful, it will backfire. ”

Even for the sake of this glorious little thing, he had to do his best.
