Chapter 601: Feng Shui takes turns, and it's time to propose

Although on the day of the Wanshou Festival, the emperor was congratulated by hundreds of officials and envoys from the four provinces, the scene was the grandest since the capital was moved to Beijing; Although the Department of Education specially arranged the latest song to celebrate his birthday, the tune is extremely solemn; Although the ministers and nobles of the Hanlin Dynasty should make poems at the birthday feast, there are hundreds of words of praise...... However, presumably, the celebration of Halloween is celebrated all over the world, and the two events that happened the day before are the focus of attention of officials large and small.

The day before the Wanshou Festival, the emperor read the avant-garde of the army, because the soldiers used their lives, Dayue, rewarded the money and coins poorly, and gave the emperor's grandson the sword of the Son of Heaven.

The day and night before the Wanshou Festival, Li Maofang, the princess of Yongping, hanged herself in the West Palace. Princess Yongping sat on her godson and lost her way and was claustrophobic in the house.

Although the crown prince's throne seems to be unshakable with the successive crimes of the king of Han and the king of Zhao, because the prince was killed or imprisoned by the ministers during the two previous prison periods, there are still some people who have some ulterior motives. But now the emperor gave the emperor's grandson the Son of Heaven a sword, and on the other hand, he angered Princess Yongping because of the death of Li Maofang, who committed a major crime first. As a result, even on the day of King Zhao's Longevity Day, he appeared in front of people for the first time in more than two years, and few people who hoped to follow the dragon's merits stepped forward, and most people instinctively avoided this comeback prince.

Zhu Zhanji was naturally very happy about such a situation. He didn't expect that on the day when he invited Zhu Di to the avant-garde of the Imperial Army, there would be such a happy episode. Seeing that his father had been suppressed by King Zhao of Han for so many years, and many of the nobles were still afraid of King Han's martial might, he hated it in his heart, so he was always haunted by King Zhao's rebellion the previous time. Now that King Zhao is released, Li Maofang is dead, there is no doubt that he is also very relieved.

"Heaven is forgivable, but you can't live! If Princess Yongping is An An to be her princess and less involved in the troubled waters, it will naturally be very good, but she has to follow the two imperial uncles to the dark! ”

At this moment, he walked back and forth in Mingde Zhai for a few steps, and remembered the reluctant appearance of Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui's face on the day of the Wanshou Festival, and couldn't help but be very happy, and after putting down this sentence, he turned his head to Chen Wu in the room and said: "Chen Wu, do you say that Zhang Yue is a lucky star?" Not to mention helping me solve the boss's problems, but also bringing such good luck. ”

Knowing that Zhu Zhanji is in good spirits on happy occasions, Chen Wu naturally had to fit in with the tone of this master, and hurriedly echoed: "Your Highness, it's not just that, the Qianqing Palace brought a message, saying that the congratulatory gift you sent was very much liked by the emperor, and it was directly placed on the shelf of the Dongnuan Pavilion. When the crown princess went to ask for peace, the emperor also praised the crown princess for your civil and military skills, wisdom and bravery. ”

Due to his strict teaching since childhood, Zhu Zhanji naturally paid great attention to Zhu Di's praise, and couldn't help laughing at this time: "Speaking of which, even those difficult old masters have talked to me a few times now. In the past, they only knew that if they were slightly unsatisfactory, they would go to the imperial grandfather to complain, but now the imperial grandfather praised me for being both civil and military, both wise and brave, and they all stopped! Speaking of which, among my attendants and attendants, Master Wang's academic character is still the best. By the way, the piece of paperweight I mentioned yesterday, you can send it to Zhang's Mansion later, and by the way, tell Zhang Yue that he will stay in the military department, and it is a rumor to release the prefect to the prefect. ”

During the Yongle period, there were a lot of troops, but because Zhu Di was often arbitrary in the use of troops, and consulted the governor's office of the five armies, the military department was not too conspicuous in terms of real power. Among the four divisions of the Ministry of War, the Armed Forces Division is the most prominent, and the Faculty Division is the most critical. After the Wanshou Festival, Zhang Yue moved from the Arsenal Division to the Fang Division, and tried to work in Fang Shilang, and in the past few days, he has been constantly dealing with the military newspaper in the north, but he has to deal with all kinds of inexplicable congratulations.

"My lord, I've heard that you're going to move to the prefect of Songjiang!"

"My lord, this Luzhou Mansion is rich in cocoon silk, it is one of the richest places in Shanxi, look at your age, if you are a seal official, the people may not believe it!"

"After the prefect in the past three years, he is the political envoy, and the political envoy will return to the dynasty at least as a scholar, maybe the adult will be the youngest Qiqing of our Ming Dynasty by then!"

Zhang Yue himself didn't know where this rumor started, and why he was stubbornly worried that he was going out to be the prefect, at first he felt angry and funny, but gradually he felt that something was wrong. You must know that he went to the Imperial Taisun Palace as a temporary send-off, and I am afraid that the emperor saw that there was no war, so he agreed to Zhu Zhanji's request. Now, even if he has moved to the position of Fang Shirozhong, it is only a trial position, and the original staff of Fang Shiro is still there, and he is not immediately in office.

There is no shadow of this foreign prefect at all, who is it from there?

Since there is no urgent military affairs now, as soon as the application is over, the yamen gradually disperse. The six yamen are different from the Guanglu Temple, Taichang Temple and other idle places, and the Yamen was officially dispersed at the end of the Shen Dynasty. Zhang Yue, who came out of the house, wanted to stretch his waist to relieve his fatigue, but he saw that many colleagues and subordinates who were walking out greeted him with a smile, so he had to resist this impulse and went straight to the secretary room of the Arsenal Division. Sure enough, Wan Shijie was the only one left in the empty room, and he moved his legs and feet recklessly.

"Lao Wan, when are you still grinding, hurry up, if you miss this village, there won't be that store!"

"I know, I know, today is Yue ...... Aunt Du's Birthday! Wan Shijie stood up as he spoke, smiled and picked up the small and delicate brocade box in front of him, and then squeezed his eyes, "Didn't I even prepare a gift?" Prefect! ”

"The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, what are you doing with the crowd and the clouds!" Zhang Yue rolled his eyes angrily, and when he saw Wan Shijie busy smoothing out the folds of his clothes, he felt even more strange, "It's not the first time I've come to the door, why are you such a mother-in-law?" Hey, I think about it, you go casually everywhere on weekdays, and there is a patch on the top of that uniform, why did you get a new set today? ”

"Today is a critical time, so you have to dress up and be spiritual."

Wan Shijie smiled, packed up his things, picked up the brocade box and walked out of the house side by side with Zhang Yue, and carefully locked the door. At present, the military affairs are not urgent, and only one person is left on duty at night in the military headquarters, and the four divisions take turns to send people, so there is no need to be so nervous that each division has to stay on guard as in the past. Out of the yamen, Zhang Yue had just turned over and got on his horse, and Wan Shijie suddenly rode his horse closer.

"Yuanjie, it's still early, uncle should go straight up earlier today, how about we go to the left gate of Chang'an and wait for him to go back together?"

If he just thought it was strange at first, then now Zhang Yue sensed that something was wrong no matter how slow he was, so he grabbed the reins of Wanshijie's mount, stared at his eyes and asked word by word: "What kind of pass are you selling in this gourd?" Don't fool me with those untrue words, you must be famous today! ”

"What kind of fame, isn't it just that a man should marry a woman when she gets married?" Wan Shijie's face stiffened, and seeing that Zhang Yue was still staring at him, he had to cough lightly, and then grinned, "The day before yesterday, Xiao Wu suddenly came to my house, and then said that he was willing to marry me, and asked me to hurry up to the door to propose marriage." I went to beg Mr. Tosato last night, hey...... That being said, I have to talk to my future father-in-law, lest he be caught off guard tomorrow, right? ”

"Okay, you old man, you didn't show your mouth for two whole days after yesterday!"

Rao is Zhang Yue's psychological tolerance is very good, and he was dumbfounded at this moment. After being stunned for a while, he was angry in his heart, and he kicked Wanshijie on the horse angrily, and scolded again. Seeing the sunny smiling face of this long-time friend, he knew that if he was beating him up now, this guy must be happy, so he dismissed the plan of Xingshi to ask for guilt, and was ready to go back and ask again. Seeing that Zhang Buniu dared to lead the horse and wait not far away, he beckoned Zhang Bu to step forward.

"You go to Du Mansion first to inform me, and say that I will follow my father-in-law and come back together when the time comes."

In the imperial city, only the Guanglu Temple and the Hanlin Yuan Imperial House and the cabinet officials who served in the imperial city, because most of these people are just nobles with no surplus wealth, so even if the hundred officials return home at this time, the left gate of Chang'an does not seem crowded, and there are a few carriages parked along the root of the opposite wall, in addition to a few small servants who are waiting with horses.

"Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Yue heard such a voice as soon as he stopped his horse, and hurriedly followed the reputation, but saw Yang Ji at a glance. Compared with the dress when they met on the dock in Tongzhou that day, Yang Ji was dressed in green cloth at this time, and he was dressed upside down, revealing a bit of elegant bookishness. Seeing him walk forward quickly, Zhang Yue jumped off the horse and asked with a smile, "Brother Yang is here to pick up the boss?" ”

"Since I have arrived in Beijing, I have to do my filial piety, and I am idle at home." Yang Ji felt helpless when he thought that he had been detained at home by his mother for the rest of the time except for picking up his father recently. After answering this sentence, he saw that Zhang Yue was next to Wan Shijie, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Brother Wan Shi and Brother Zhang Shi know each other?" ”

Wan Shijie has always been uninhibited, and this mouthful of a world brother made him itch all over his body, and hurriedly raised his hand and said: "I said Yuanjie, you two just call the word, this call me sound pantothenic acid water in my stomach." Poplar...... cough, Zimu, I have been friends with Yuanjie for a long time, and I have always been unrestrained. We're here to pick up Master Du today, and we happened to run into you. ”

"No wonder when my father mentioned you, he said that you were a strange person, and when you were talking about marriage, you actually came here to pick up your father-in-law?" Yesterday, when Wanshijie came to ask Yang Shiqi for help, Yang Ji happened to be there, and at this time he couldn't help but be surprised and envious, thinking that compared to this boldness, his own red tape was simply hateful, so he hurriedly said, "It's a pity that you are all court officials, and you are very busy, otherwise I really want to come to the door often to ask for advice." ”

Although Zhang Yue has seen Yang Ji's two sets of faces, it seems that Yang Ji, who is much older, may not really have any too bad nature, when he nodded and said: "That's good to say, if Lao Wan and I have leisure in the future, we must call you!" ”

Yang Ji heard from his mother that his father wanted to keep him to study in Beijing, and he was bitter in his heart. He didn't have any friends in Beijing, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words: "That dare is good, a word is a certainty!" ”
