Chapter 304: It's over
Zhu Junfan sat on the Jinluan Palace, watching his little cousin talk about Yu Xiaocao with relish, and the two of them were like gold in their daily life. Hearing the last sentence of the little cousin, he glanced at Zhu Junyang and said angrily: "I still need you to remind me?" ”
Then, he asked again: "According to your meaning, it is the ten-year-old girl of the Yu family who should be rewarded, not Yu Hai!" ”
Zhu Junyang shook his head and said: "The Yu family planted corn, which is also meritorious, and it should be rewarded!" But Yu Xiaocao has the greatest credit, and in terms of fairness, the reward should fall on her head! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is against it! A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, how can a little woman be an official in the same dynasty as us? Lord Yang took the lead in objecting.
Since his accession to the throne, the emperor has been trying to improve the status of women.
Yang Yushi is too pedantic and doesn't know how to be flexible, so his qualifications are older than those first-class masters, but he has been wandering around the second-grade. Zhang Zijian thought that compared to the old guy, he was young and promising, and the emperor really needed a confidant who could convey his heart. He decided to give it a shot!
"Lord Yang! The Holy Lord and the Emperor Taishang have always been distinguished by their talents. The emperor once said, 'Eclectic and talented'. Nowadays, there are many droughts in the north and locust plagues along the coast, and food is the foundation of the people and an important factor in the stability of the world! And that Yu's Xiaocao has such a talent! Planting talents are rare, why not make an exception? Lord Zhang received the emperor's approving eyes, and his tone became more firm.
Yang Yushi stiffened his neck, frowned, and said, "Growing corn is not just the work of that little woman!" The reward was given to her father, and she jumped from a peasant girl to the daughter of an official family, which was also equivalent to a reward on her head. Why do you have to let the woman go to the court as an official and disturb the court! ”
"Lord Yang's words are wrong! According to Lord Yang's intentions, the credit of the children should be counted on the father's head. Does that mean that Yang Shaoqing has made meritorious contributions in the future, and there is no need to reward him, all of them will be counted on Yang Yushi's head, so that you can be promoted and make a fortune? ”
Yang Yushi's son, the current Guanglu Shaoqing, is a five-grade official. This Yang Shaoqing has the ability, but he is not as stubborn and pedantic as his father, and he has a promising future. But there are very few fathers and sons in high positions in the past dynasties, and Yang Yushi has stopped him, and he has always lacked the opportunity to advance.
Listening to Lord Zhang's words, Yang Shaoqing glanced at his father, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction. Dad's popularity in officialdom has been found to the extreme, and he is old, so it is difficult to have the possibility of going further. But Yang Yushi has always been in love with a high position, sitting with the dream of being promoted to a first-class officer. This Yang Shaoqing is already in his forties, but because of his father's pressure on his head, his official position is hovering in Wupin. If Daddy could have done it earlier, he would have been able to fulfill Daddy's dream of being a first-class official before he retired - not to mention, in the end, it was both father and son, and they both wanted to be beautiful!
There is also no lack of fathers and sons in the court, and those who are sons have turned their dissatisfied eyes to Yang Yushi.
Yang Yushi suddenly felt like a thorn in his back. He was not too unsympathetic, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention. It was Lord Zhang who distorted the meaning of the minister! The minister thinks that the chicken is in the morning, and it is not advisable! ”
Zhu Junfan was a little annoyed by these old ministers who relied on the old and sold the old, and said with displeasure: "Yang Aiqing, it's serious!" A seven-grade petty official who is subordinate to the household department is just a petty official, what kind of mess can he cause? Or does Yang Aiqing think that I am a faint monarch such as King Xuan and Emperor Tang Ming? ”
"Don't dare!" Yang Yushi was shocked, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly, and fell to the ground on the hall.
Master Zhang also knelt down and said, "The emperor is angry!" The minister thought that Yang Yu Shilian was quite old, dizzy, relying on the old and selling the old, and misinterpreting the holy will, which was no longer enough to be the inspector to correct the impeachment of the hundred divisions, identify the wrongs, and supervise the various ways, as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven. ”
When Yang Yushi heard this, his chest was tight, and he almost didn't lift it in one breath, and stretched out a hand and pointed at Master Zhang tremblingly. Master Zhang gave everyone a look of "Look, Yang Yushi is indeed old".
The emperor pretended to reprimand: "Envoy Zhang's words are wrong! In just a few decades, the Ming Dynasty was able to gain a firm foothold, which was inseparable from the great achievements of the old ministers. There are no veterans to follow the Emperor Taishang to fight in the south and the north, where is the current Daming country; Without the concerted efforts of the ministers, how could the Ming Dynasty prosper? ”
Master Zhang realized that he was radical, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded: "The emperor is sage!" The minister is narrow-minded! The minister just talks about things, and has no intention of despising the old minister, please let the emperor know! ”
The emperor sighed heavily and said, "Zhang Aiqing, above the court, you must be cautious in every word. If you are a first-time offender, you will be fined for half a year as punishment! ”
For Mr. Zhang, a fine of half a year is like scratching an itch. Although Lord Zhang was punished, he secretly rejoiced in his heart. It seems that doing this by yourself is in the emperor's arms!
Sure enough, the emperor glanced at Yang Yushi, who was holding his chest and gasping for breath, and said with concern: "Yang Aiqing, do you need to ask for a doctor?" ”
Yang Yushi gasped a few more times, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, the old minister is fine." ”
The emperor continued to say with concern: "Yang Aiqing, the body is the most important. In order to be able to do better things for the court, let's take care of our body first! I grant you a month's vacation, and the duties are temporarily replaced by the deputy capital Yushi. Zhong Aiqing, is there anything else? ”
"Your Majesty, the old minister ......"
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!" Su Ran's voice happened to cover up Yang Yushi's words.
The officials glanced at Yang Yushi with some sympathy, shook their heads and sighed; Some have a playful look on their faces; Others smiled gloatingly.
Yang Shaoqing, who was at the back of the team, had a hot face, he walked over with his head down, picked up his father who was paralyzed on the ground, and whispered: "Dad, the emperor's meaning is obvious, if you want to reward the little girl of the Yu family, why should you make the emperor unhappy for a little person who is not worth mentioning?" ”
Yang Yushi couldn't believe that he had been suspended, and he muttered: "I'm like Wei Zheng and straightforward, what's wrong?" Why did the emperor let me sue for illness? I'm not sick, I'm going to ...... the emperor."
"Dad, don't make a mess!! If you continue to make trouble, the black gauze hat on your head will be difficult to protect!! "How can he have such an unobtrusive father? Yang Shaoqing frowned, and his hands became a little heavier, and he helped his father out of the palace gate half-helping.
However, after Yang Yushi made such a fuss, the matter of rewarding the Yu family was put on hold. Yu Xiaocao, who was far away in the fishing village of Maodong, didn't know that because of himself, he had caused a controversy in the court.
At this time, she was asking her father to help her make a small sleigh, preparing for the next snow, and let the big gray pull her to enjoy the thrill of speeding through the snow.
Since Da Ash was regarded as the pet of King Yangjun, after settling in the Yu family, Yu Xiaocao fed it every day with spirit stone water and wild boar meat stored in the ice cellar. Now it is a big gray, thick hair covering the whole body, and it looks like a silver-gray hair ball from a distance. Its body is full of hard-packed and powerful muscles, and it is very explosive to run.
Ash is more spiritual than the other animals in the house, can understand almost all human languages, and is sensitive to the kindness and malice of others. With it guarded, the Yu family is more assured.
"Big Ash, come here and see if it's suitable!" The sleigh was ready, and Yu Xiaocao couldn't wait to wave towards Big Ash. Da Ash, who was lying in the snow, glanced lazily at this side, indicating that he didn't want to pay attention to Yu Xiaocao.
Yu Xiaocao threatened it with a small face: "Big Ash, if you are disobedient, there is no food at night!" ”
Big Ash is not very interested in frozen wild boar, but if he does it against this little girl, it is very likely that there will be no good water to drink tomorrow. Alas...... Da Ash stood up slowly, shook the hair on his body vigorously, and walked towards Yu Xiaocao with elegant steps.
Yu Xiaocao loaded the sled onto Big Gray and found that it was just right. Daddy's craftsmanship is really not covered!
"Take two steps and see!" Yu Xiaocao has always envied the grandfather's family for raising a few big dogs, in the past, when there were no horse-drawn carts and donkey carts in the village, he relied on those dogs to pull the sleigh to the town on snowy days. The winter before the separation, she was "sick" and went to the sleigh. It's a pity that I was wrapped in a ball at that time, and I couldn't see the outside situation at all, and I couldn't experience the fun of dog sledding.
Big Ash took two lazy steps forward, the sleigh behind him sliding slowly forward on the ground. The two little wolf cubs, black and white, thought it was some fun game, and followed their father and pulled their hind legs. They were biting on the ropes on the sleds, and their four short legs were pushing forward desperately, and the big ash pulled forward, and they pulled backwards. The strength of the two little guys, where is the opponent of the big gray, was dragged and staggered forward.
Yu Xiaocao angrily and funny hugged the two little guys to the sleigh one by one. There was only a thin layer of snow in the yard, and the big gray pulled the sleigh slowly in the direction of the courtyard gate, and the two little ones squatted on the sled, rubbing their buttocks excitedly, wanting to jump, but reluctant to jump down.
Blackie made a pre-jump movement and saw an opportunity to jump under the sled, only to fall on his heels. It spun around twice in a daze, saw that the sleigh was about to go away, and then took a short leg and quickly chased after it.
Xiaobai sat calmly on the sleigh and let his father pull it out of the yard.
It didn't fall much, and it wasn't too cold outside. A group of children were having a snowball fight not far away, and when they saw the gray wolf raised by the Yu family coming out, they stopped their movements and stood in the distance to watch.
The entire Dongshan Village knew that the Yu family had raised a wolf for the prince of the county. This wolf is said to have been tamed, and it is not fierce to the Yu family at all. However, the villagers repeatedly warned their children to stay away from the wolves and be careful of being eaten!
You can see this mighty gray wolf, like a dog, being lassoed in a small sled, and a cute little white dog squatting on the sled. That's a lot of love!
