Zhang Juzheng's mansion.

In the hall, Zhang Juzheng gathered with Yu Youding, Shen Shixing and others.

Yu Youding's eyelids raised slightly, and he slowly spoke: "Uncle, your nephew has now become a relative to the Zheng family, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles." ”

As soon as these words came out, the spearhead was pointed at Zhang Yun, and it immediately set off a thousand waves in the hall.

Now the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo is almost six years old, but Wanli is unwilling to establish a prince, and there have been rumors that Wanli does not like the emperor's eldest son, but likes the son born to Concubine Zheng Guifei.

In addition, Zhu Changluo is not a son-in-law, so Wanli is waiting, and when the queen dies, she will straighten out Concubine Zheng, so that her son will naturally become a son-in-law.

In history, Wanli did plan to do this, she wanted to wait for the death of Queen Wang and straighten the favored concubine; However, this queen Wang was also able to survive, and died in the 48th year of Wanli and the same year as Emperor Wanli.

Now, she is also in the prime of life and still has the ability to have children, and it is barely reasonable not to establish a prince.

Zhang Juzheng frowned, and replied in a deep voice: "My Ming ancestor system is here, who dares to disobey it." ”

Yu Youding wanted to continue to argue, but was interrupted by Zhang Juzheng waving his hand, "Bingzhong doesn't need to say much, I have my own sense of proportion." ”

Then he diverted the topic: "Recently, this guy has made a lot of noise, and I heard that he is going to set up a military academy to train officers for the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhang Siwei took over the conversation with a smile: "What do those vulgar soldiers have to teach, I'm afraid that most of the big-headed soldiers can't even read a few words, teach them ......"

"Ahem, cough ......," Yu Youding reminded him with a cough on the side.

Our Lord Shoufu, who was born in a military household, his grandfather used to be a guard in the Liao Palace, and now he hears that some people belittle the military household, and his face has become ugly.

Although military households were restricted from participating in the imperial examination at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the restrictions were gradually relaxed later, and they were basically allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and the representatives of them were Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Siwei was reminded by Yu Youding, and only then did he realize that he had lost his words.

Now that he has become Zhang Juzheng's younger brother, and he is more respectful than the others, Zhang Juzheng sees that he has some ability, so naturally he does not delve into this second assistant.

"Motosuke, it's me who lost my word."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and waved his hand: "Ziwei is serious, the speaker is not guilty, and the speaker is not guilty." ”

"I am a soldier of the Ming Guard, and my armament has been lax for a long time. It would be a good thing if we could pick out some good talents. ”

At this time, Shen Shixing, who had not spoken all this time, said lightly: "I heard that the emperor will personally serve as the principal of this school, and Zhang Yun will serve as the director of academic affairs."

It's simply absurd, how can the Son of Heaven personally hold an official position. ”

Several people looked at each other, and after discussion, it was unanimously decided that Zhang Yun would be the principal, and this military school would belong to the commander of the military department.

As soon as this fold went up, Wanli was immediately unhappy, even if he wasn't the principal, how could this belonging have changed.

The two sides played a game, and finally negotiated a result, the military school was headed by Zhang Yun, and the school was directly under the name of Wanli.

Qianqing Palace.

In the palace, after Wanli and Zhang Yun told the results of the game between themselves and the cabinet, Zhang Yun had no choice but to respond.

No way, both parties are big brothers.

His foundation is still too shallow, Xu Guangqi, Du Ling and others have too low official positions, and the only high-ranking official who has a good relationship with him has not yet entered the cabinet.

But it's also coming soon, and now Yu Youding's age is about to reach the moment of begging bones. As long as he retires, with Zhang Chucheng's qualifications and his own operation, it should not be a big problem to enter the cabinet.

Just as Zhang Yun was thinking, Wanli's eyes had been secretly looking at him, and he was relieved when he found that he had no abnormal movements.

He was still afraid that this kid would pick on his son and not support his third son.

"In that case, this matter is over, you come to Yikun Palace with me first."

When Zhang Yun heard this, he refused again and again: "Your Majesty, the minister is a foreign minister, I'm afraid it's not good to disturb the concubine." ”

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, you just happened to meet my little princess."

After speaking, Wanli urged him to run to Yikun Palace with him.

Zhang Yun was speechless, what could he see when he was a child, he was only a little more than a year old.

However, it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, so he had to follow Wanli to Yikun Palace.

At this moment, Concubine Zheng was teasing her little daughter, Princess Lingqiu, and the little girl giggled from time to time.

Seeing this, the palace maid on the side immediately complimented: "Guifei Niangniang, you see how happy the little princess is smiling, the little princess seems to like the Langjun that the little princess chose for her." ”

Zheng Guifei, her eyebrows moved slightly, and she scolded with a smile: "Luthos, you girl knows nonsense, where does she know these things as a child?" ”

Lu Pothos covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Niangniang, the little princess can marry Chang Ninghou's second son, which can be regarded as a good belonging." ”

"yes." Concubine Zheng muttered in a low voice.

At the beginning, in order to prevent the concubine from messing around with the identity of the princess, Lao Zhu stipulated that the concubine could not participate in the imperial examination and enter the official career, and even those close to him could not do so.

Therefore, anyone who has a little pursuit and the family regards the princess as a deadly poison and stays away from it.

So the princesses also became the prey of those low-ranking officials and all kinds of gentry; This also led to the fact that most of the princess's colts were not of high quality.

"The emperor has arrived!" A duck-like voice came.

As soon as the words fell, Wanli walked in with Zhang Yun.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty." Concubine Zheng Guifei knelt on the ground and bowed.

Wanli quickly helped her up: "Aifei, please get up quickly." ”

"Minister, Zhang Yun has seen the concubine." Zhang Yun hurriedly saluted

"Changning waits for the ceremony."

Hearing this, Zhang Yun slowly raised his head.

Due to the sudden attack of Wanli today, this Concubine Zheng Guifei did not wear a formal palace dress, and at this moment she wore a long skirt as thin as silkworm yarn and Jiebi Xuesheng.

Coupled with its natural beauty, it is as fascinating as a hibiscus out of water.

"No wonder Wanli is so pampered by this Concubine Zheng, after giving birth to a child, she has a little more charm than before." Zhang Yun said secretly in his heart.

Wanli didn't notice Zhang Yun's strange appearance, but took him to the car, picked up the little princess, and said, "Look, my little princess knows that her father-in-law is coming in the future, how happy she is." ”

"Your Majesty, you let Changning Hou hug it too." Zheng Guifei proposed with a smile.

"Yes, yes, come and hug your future daughter-in-law." Wanli handed Princess Lingqiu to Zhang Yun, "Be careful. ”

Zhang Yun hurriedly took it, the little princess put her chubby little hand into her mouth and sucked it, her eyes were black and bright, and when she saw Zhang Yun, she actually showed a smiling face and giggled.

Looking at the little girl in his arms, his heart was about to melt, he had rarely seen Zhang Zhu when he was a child, and most of the time he was carried by his grandmother or Xu Xi.

As soon as I look at this little guy, I can't help but think of my daughter.

"Look, I'll just say, this little girl has a fate with your family."

Zhang Yun replied with a smile: "The little princess will definitely be as beautiful as the concubine when she grows up, and Yu'er is really blessed to be able to marry her." ”

Concubine Zheng Guifei smiled like a flower, and replied modestly: "Changning Hou praised it, who doesn't know that you have two beautiful wives in your family, all of whom are beautiful and fragrant." ”

Wanli has seen Xu Xi, and it is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is the national color and heavenly fragrance, but he has not seen this Zhu Ziyi. However, Zhang Yun's vision, he is still quite trusting.

Zhang Yun's painting style was wrong, so he hurriedly diverted the topic: "By the way, Your Majesty, the military academy is about to be held, and I ask Your Majesty to write an inscription for the school."

It would be even better if His Majesty could spare a little time on the first day of school. ”

Wanli nodded in response, and then glanced at Concubine Zheng, and she withdrew under the pretext of having something.

"You've been teaching Chang Luo and Chang Xun for a while, tell me, which of them are you more optimistic about?"

When Zhang Yun heard this, he was frightened, this Wanli is too direct.

"Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's family matter, and the ministers dare not speak falsely." However, since His Majesty asked, then I dare to ask, who is the emperor more optimistic about? ”

Wanli was slightly stunned, not knowing how to respond: "I... I, I'm asking you, you dare to ask me, you are so bold!! ”

"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty." This emperor was really unreasonable, and he became furious when he disagreed, so frightened that he hurriedly confessed his guilt.

"Get up."

"Yes." Zhang Yun should go down to Wanli, and then said, "Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to say that they are optimistic about any of them, at least now you are still in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the future is long." ”

"It's a long time to come, it's a long time to come." Wanli muttered in a low voice, suddenly raised his head and smiled, "Your family has a relationship with Xiao Jiu, so you should treat her well in the future." ”

"That's nature."
