Chapter 902: Elder Yin Yin's Language

After an hour of deliberations, Zhu Zhanji, who had already made up his mind, finally hesitated again because of Yang Shiqi's words, and even Du Zhen and Zhang Yue's sons-in-law finally agreed with Yang Shiqi's words, and waited until the tables of the relatives and vassals arrived. As for the others, they all died down for the time being, so after leaving the Wenhua Palace, everyone was naturally divided into several groups.

Zhang Yue said hello to Du Zhen and went to catch up with the British Gong Zhang Fu first. Although he has a lot of eyeliner in Jingshi, some things are not unknown, but after all, he is busy with official business, Zhang Fu is a low-key person, he has not been to the British mansion for a long time after the last ancestor worship, Du Juan is pregnant with Liujia, only his mother Sun often goes, but he often goes through the back door, so he has not paid too much attention to the situation of the main gate.

Inside the noon gate is the forbidden palace, and the uncle and nephew can't say anything, but they just discussed a little bit about today's topic. When he got out of the noon gate, the little eunuch who led the way retreated, Zhang Yue held a lantern in one hand and Zhang Fu in the other, and then asked about the topic that Yang Shiqi mentioned just now, but Zhang Fu was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"Although I am now under the order to concentrate on planning military affairs, since it is a major event, it is not convenient for me to speak, and this matter was proposed by you, the secretary of the military department, so I have not said anything. If it is from the perspective of a military general, I naturally hope that the soldiers will be strong and strong, and the generals will be proficient in martial arts, but if it is from the perspective of a hereditary honorary, those officers who have inherited military positions, many of their parents and ancestors have fought with me in the blood and fire, and now their sons and nephews may not be able to inherit the military position, and even have to suffer poverty, I naturally feel uncomfortable. ”

Zhang Yue has always seen a serious and capable Zhang Fu, and when he rarely sees him sighing gloomily like this, his heart suddenly feels a little heavy. Thinking of the last time he went back to Shijing Garden, Zhu Yong also sighed with similar words, and he had to say a few words.

"The officers are just one of them, in fact, I also let the officers of the military department discuss the affairs of the military household together. The Northern Song Dynasty forbade the army, and as a result, the soldiers almost became untouchables, and today's military households have almost become untouchables. The Northern Song Dynasty died in the Jurchens, and the Southern Song Dynasty died in Mongolia. Isn't it completely eliminating the hereditary military position, isn't it the establishment of martial arts? The hereditary military position of Taizu is to pass the big examination and give it to you, and if you don't pass the test, you will be punished, although this is really heavy, but I have to say that it is by relying on these strict rules that each guard can raise strong soldiers. ”

"I've been with soldiers for so many years, do you still know this?" Zhang Fu shook his head again, and then broke away from Zhang Yue's hand, "Don't look at me now in and out of the sedan chair, everyone knows that I have rheumatism and cold legs and other old problems, but if I really get on the horse, I can draw the bow and make the gun use a knife!" Brother Yue, there is a bad habit of being a soldier, although you have carried the soldiers of Arutai in Xinghe, and you have served as a counselor in Jiaolu, and you have defended against Japanese in Jiangnan, but you must not know that one, that is, Lao Tzu, who was a soldier, easily fought back to a background, and nine out of ten did not want his son to go to the battlefield to earn his life again! ”

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment.

In his era, military families have always been common, and some even have sons who don't want to be soldiers, and Lao Tzu uses a belt to send his son to the military academy or the army, but Zhang Fu said that most of the old men who have obtained hereditary military positions in these years don't want their sons to go to the battlefield again! However, when he thought about it, he felt that it made sense. It's one thing to be a soldier, it's another to go to war. The soldiers of those years were glorious, but today's military households are equivalent to untouchables, and if the children of military households want to take off the name of military households for their families, according to the rules, they need to go to the military department to change their civilian registration, and almost all of them are unwilling to marry military households.

Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, most of the inland guards are peaceful, and they don't need to go into battle in hand-to-hand combat, nor do they need to be skilled in martial arts, as long as they can control the military households under their heads to cultivate the fields. As for the actual start of the war...... Then you have to leave your fate to God, not to mention drills, except for the border towns, there are no drills at all in other places.

"Uncle Lobby's reminder, I understand."

"It's good to understand." Zhang Fu didn't turn his head to look at the expression on Zhang Yue's face, not because it was already dark and he couldn't see clearly, but because with his understanding of Zhang Yue, he naturally knew what this most important nephew would experience, so as he walked, he said softly, "If you want to come to the Ministry of War and there is no Shangshu, others think that most of the emperor wants to leave this position to you, but you should know that with the two nobles of the Zhang family, this is naturally impossible." Let you temporarily take charge of the military department with a squire, because you are familiar with the four divisions of the military department, you can control it, and we can also help you block one or two things, so it is easier to change. But after the deed is completed, you will most likely have to move a place, and in order to reward you for your merits, it will be either the household department or the official department. ”

Even Du Zhen didn't say these words to Zhang Yue, Du Zhen's temper is to mention at most one thread in case of trouble, and let Zhang Yue think about the rest. In his words, although he is a student, he is now a big man, so he naturally can't follow his own pace in everything. Therefore, Zhang Yue could only think carefully by himself, although he had thought of this layer, but this layer of window paper was never pierced. Now that Zhang Fu suddenly said the biggest thing, he couldn't help but rub his eyes that were already stiff.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to advance step by step, and I won't move all at once."

"That's good." Zhang Fu smiled with satisfaction, looked at the sky with his negative hand, and walked forward slowly, "Military affairs are not like the Zong Domain, the Zong Clan can quickly cut through the mess, and your father-in-law is a righteous man and gentleman, and the things he recognizes will be done to the end." According to his temperament, he didn't care if he had to retire to Nanjing after doing this, because he thought that this matter was more important than anything else at the moment. And Yu Qian, who presided over the Qingzhang Tianmu in Jiangnan, is also, although I have not seen it, judging from the recital, he is also a righteous person, so they almost don't think about the back road. But you are different, you have always been a person who walks to see hundreds, and these affairs have accumulated deep disadvantages and are too widely implicated to be rushed. Therefore, I stopped everything that came to me to complain before, even Cheng Guogong. ”

At this moment, Zhang Yue only felt that his mood was very agitated. Even if he knows that Zhang Fu has always spared no effort to support himself, this is not as deep as the current feeling. It wasn't until he left the right gate of Chang'an that he whispered: "I will definitely be more cautious and cautious in my future affairs, and I will not live up to the name of the Zhang family, let alone the hope of the uncle." ”

"That's enough!" Zhang Fu nodded at Zhang Yue with a smile, and casually pointed to the sedan chair waiting over there, "Don't send me, it's only a few steps away from my house, and the sedan chair is also waiting there." Your mother-in-law was frightened today, and you went over and talked to your father-in-law and told him to be careful. Rigidity is easy to break...... He won't listen to that, but sometimes you have to persuade him. ”

Zhang Yue agreed repeatedly, and after sending Zhang Fu to the sedan chair, he turned back, and saw Du Zhen and Yang Pu walking out side by side, as if they were still discussing something, but there was no trace of Yang Shiqi. He thought about it carefully, and then remembered that Yang Shiqi was on duty in the cabinet that night. Walking forward quickly, Yang Pu saw that it was him, nodded and said to Du Zhen, and went straight to his own car on the side, while Zhang Yue carried Du Zhen to the mule cart of the Du family on the side.

As soon as he got in the car and lowered the curtain, Du Zhen asked bluntly, "How is your mother-in-law?" ”

"Xiao Wu said that it was just a flesh injury, and it was no big deal." Zhang Yue saw Du Zhen patted his forehead, and then rubbed his eyes again, he understood how hard Du Zhen had stayed up all day, and hurriedly added, "The three officials of the Shuntian Mansion and the Nancheng Terracotta Division of Wanping County went to the house, Xiao Wuqi just hung people out, and her mother-in-law also accused her of being ignorant, and now she is in good spirits." ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Du Zhen muttered four words, and then took a long breath, "I'm already very sorry for her, if it's really because of my business, then ...... Yuan Festival, I have never liked the large number of people in my family, but now that this kind of thing is happening, if you can transfer it, borrow a few people from home to me. ”

"I've already arranged it, father-in-law, don't worry."

However, seeing Du Zhen leaning against the wall with his hands folded and his eyes closed, and his hands around his arms seemed to use a lot of strength, Zhang Yue didn't know that this teacher and father-in-law had not calmed down at this time, but was in turmoil. But the more this is the case, the more he feels that this is the real Du Zhen. For the sake of national affairs, even the dear family members are completely disregarded, and the sage may be a saint, but for his family, how sad it is. At this moment, he felt that he was one step closer to Du Zhen.

"Your mother-in-law and I are a young couple, and getting married at that time was also the words of the matchmaker of my parents. I am a person who can't speak, at first I just cared about studying, and my family relied on her inside and out, but whether it was studying, farming, or I became a jinshi as an official, she prepared everything for me properly and thoughtfully, even if I was gone for more than ten years, she never had a word of blame...... Although I have been in a high-ranking official over the years, but because of this temper, my family is not rich, and my manpower has decreased without an increase, and she has not even been blessed with any blessings, and she will not even show her frightened appearance in front of me, and now she ......"

Du Zhen rarely chattered and spoke, but at this time, the mule cart was bumpy, but he kept muttering, and his eyes were a little offset. Zhang Yue knew that Du Zhen didn't want his meager comfort, so he just listened silently from beginning to end, and didn't say a word until the carriage finally stopped, he jumped out of the car first, and stretched out his hand to help Du Zhen.

Seeing that the carriage stopped, Yue Shan on the door stepped forward with a lantern, but when he saw his master's strange expression, he didn't dare to say anything. And Zhang Yue helped Du Zhen all the way to the door of the main house, and when he heard bursts of laughter coming from inside, he couldn't help but glance sideways at the old father-in-law, and then he opened the curtain and helped the person in.

There was no one in the front half of the main hall, and the voices came from behind the battle, so Zhang Yue saw Du Zhen throw off his hand and walk back quickly, hesitated for a moment and slowed down. Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Wu's happy shouting came from behind, knowing that Du Juan couldn't spend the night outside with Liujia, and he must have gone back at this moment, so he stood outside, and after a while, he saw Xiao Wuyi coming out of the back room, and when he saw him, he made a gesture, and the two went to the east house to talk.

"Brother-in-law, you better go back first, at this time, my father is busy greeting my mother, and my mother has no time to see you." Xiao Wu smiled slyly, and when she saw Zhang Yue nodding with a smile, she knew that he must have understood, so she said enviously, "In the past, I only thought that my father always had a straight face, but I didn't expect that there would be such a time when he would care about people...... Hey, when will my Lao Wan come back, do you really plan to leave him in the white mountains and black waters? ”

"I'm back, the person has already set off by boat over there, it is estimated that it will take a few months to get to Tianjin, and you will be able to see him then." Zhang Yue remembered for a while that the letter he wrote to himself on Wanshijie also complained that 'he was haggard for Yixiao', and he didn't know what was written in the private message of this young couple, and he didn't know if this guy was really uncomfortable over there, so he also had the idea of slipping away, and quickly stood up, "Since you said it, I won't go in and bother, and you will say to your father-in-law and mother-in-law when you turn around." ”

Seeing Zhang Yue walking fast, Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, and when she chased out, she found that the person had disappeared outside the courtyard gate, and she was even more angry. Looking back at the main room, although there was not much sound in it, she decided not to disturb the scenery after thinking about it, so she tilted her head and went straight back to her room to see the child, but as she walked, she was thinking about the flamboyant guy in her heart.

"When he comes back, I will follow my father's example and care for him!"

It's just that this concern and concern has a hint of gnashing of teeth.

At night, the Jingshi had gradually quieted down, except for the regular sound of beating, there was only the footsteps and low conversations of the patrolling soldiers and horses of the Five Cities, as well as the occasional sheng song and wind music from the mansions of the dignitaries who had not yet fallen asleep. From time to time, a kitten or a puppy or something like popping out of the road, mixed with babbling sounds, is very palpitating to listen to.

In front of the martial arts school in Dongcheng, which had been built but had not yet been used, a black shadow sneakily flashed to the door, looked at the place for a while, and then got into the alley on the side. When he came to a large house, he knocked on the door, and when the door opened, he flashed in. When he got inside, there were already a few people waiting there, and when he took off his cloak, someone immediately spoke.

"How?"

"Look at that, it should be completed in three or five days, and when the time comes, the military department and the Governor's Office of the five armies will inevitably send people." He paused, then hesitated and asked, "Are we really going to make trouble?" ”

There was silence in the room, and the once most determined people looked at each other a little. After a long time, a sigh came from the corner.

"Let's wait and see, it's not a last resort......"
