Zhang Zhou took the carriage of Dongchang and returned to his door.

When I first came back, I didn't recognize my home.

"It's ......"

On the street, the carriages couldn't squeeze forward, and there were more than a dozen carriages parked in front of Zhang Zhou's house, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a market.

The door was closed, and no one received this group of people, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of this group of people to visit.

Xiao Jing sighed: "Do you know, Your Majesty said in the court that the mighty heavenly gunpowder was from your hand, and also mentioned that you want to agree on military merits for you, so someone inquired about your residence and came here...... Their purpose doesn't need to be explained by our family, right? ”

It goes without saying.

To put it bluntly, are they all here to slap me?

Zhang Zhou said: "Father-in-law Xiao, I finally have a place to settle down in the capital, and I don't want to be disturbed by these worldly things, you see......"

"Understood!" Xiao Jing is also interested, stretched out his hand, greeted the fans of Dongchang, pointed to the door and commanded a few words, roughly meaning, to blow these people away!

The people of Dongchang made a move, and it was really good.

The large number of people who come to visit is not a real magnatate, who relies on this way of following the crowd to climb the relationship?

The people from the east factory went up three times and divided five by two, and then cleared the door.

Then Zhang Zhoucai was finally able to enter the house with peace of mind.

……

……

Zhang Zhou went in to bathe and change clothes, and Xiao Jing waited in the main hall of the outer courtyard.

When Zhang Zhou came out, there was already a person standing next to Xiao Jing, who didn't look like he had an official title, and he was carrying something that seemed to be a post.

"Your Excellency?"

Zhang Zhou frowned.

The host hasn't spoken yet, so why did he let people in casually?

Xiao Jing pointed at the man: "Say." ”

Only then did the man salute and said, "The little one is a person from the palace of the king of the Ministry of War, and he specially sent you a household post." It's a post about my lady's registration, you can sign it, and you can go to Daxing County to give your registration, and my young lady can officially pass the door. ”

Zhang Zhou immediately thought that this was the follow-up of Wang Yue's gift to his granddaughter.

Wang Mingshan was sent back to his house a few days ago, Wang Yue probably thought that Zhang Zhou was worried that Wang Mingshan was not famous and had no points, and now he will make a household post and find Zhang Zhou to sign a name, and the person will belong to Zhang Zhou......

"Mr. Zhang, don't hesitate, sign your name, and the person will be in your name, if you don't have time to go to the yamen office, Dongchang will find someone to redeem it for you, it's not cumbersome at all."

Xiao Jing looked very enthusiastic about helping Zhang Zhou take a concubine.

Zhang Zhou said: "Grandpa Xiao, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" ”

Xiao Jing reminded: "Sir, have you forgotten? You Na Wang family Miss, even His Majesty nodded and agreed, this is to make Wang Shilang more at ease in the northwest to use troops, now that the victory is won, if people don't want it, I am afraid that after Wang Shilang hears about it, he should be anxious. You said that he was in a hurry, and he was scratching his ears and cheeks for what kind of gift, wouldn't it affect the stability of my Ming border in the long run? ”

No way.

Zhang Zhou exclaimed in his heart.

You Xiao Jing is also a talent.

said that the acceptance of daughters is so righteous and righteous, as if I don't accept the granddaughter of the old man Wang, the old man Wang will not fight for the Ming Dynasty, right?

Also, when you say this, can you avoid the people of the Wang family?

The Wang family came to the side with a look of "I didn't hear it, I didn't hear", and turned his head to the side.

Xiao Jing said, and out of nowhere, he took out a pen and handed it to Zhang Zhoudao: "Sir, you are inking." ”

Zhang Zhou took the pen and looked at the post.

The heart said, is this a marriage book?

I sign a name, I don't need to do the household registration, someone has done it for me, it is equivalent to getting married to decide a woman's life, and there is no need for any three books and six ceremonies, and there is no need to inform relatives and friends, that's it...... Finished?

"Mr. Zhang, hurry up, Your Majesty is still waiting." Xiao Jing said.

"Alas!"

Zhang Zhou sighed.

Thinking of Wang Mingshan's beautiful appearance and figure, it is simply ......

The feudal system kills people! It is necessary to strictly criticize this social atmosphere of male superiority and inferiority of women! Travelers should always remember the principle of equality between men and women, and never forget that they are here to change the times and not to talk about their children's private affairs......

Wait a minute.

Zhang Zhou suddenly felt that something was wrong, I was already a fucking person with a wife and a concubine, and I still care about this?

Isn't it just to sign the marriage book?

He dipped the brush into the tea cup, waved the pen, wrote the name, and then handed the household note back.

And so the marriage was done.

"Master Zhang, you wait, I'll send someone to you before nightfall."

……

……

Inside the Royal Palace.

Zhang Zhou followed Dai Yi and Xiao Jing in the direction of Qianqing Palace.

Dai Yi had already learned from Xiao Jingna about Wang Yue's gift of his granddaughter, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao Dengke." ”

"Father-in-law Dai, don't make fun of me, what a little Dengke, as Father-in-law Xiao said, I did this purely so that Wang Weining could use troops in the northwest with peace of mind, and I am worrying about the court and society." Zhang Zhou didn't feel ashamed at all.

"Hehe, that's right."

Dai Yi naturally knew that Zhang Zhou was laughing, and he was familiar with Zhang Zhou's routines now anyway.

Zhang Zhou wanted to joke as much as he wanted, he just laughed.

With this kind of matter, Zhang Zhou's heart was not very steady, thinking that he had just come out of the Tribute Courtyard, his mind had not been sorted out, and he accepted another concubine......

is still a famous lady like Wang Mingshan.

That figure, that martial arts, even if it sometimes looks like a showman, is equivalent to a gymnast......

Do you practice pommel horses first, or do you practice rings?

What kind of palace and what saint do you enter, isn't it more comfortable to go home and practice gymnastics than this?

Go home and practice gymnastics at night!

……

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu met with Zhang Zhou with a warm face, and first explained to Zhang Zhou about the great victory in the northwest.

“…… Bingkuan, you are really given to the Ming Dynasty by God, given to me, the Northwest War reversed the decline of my Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years and it is rare to make an inch, you are the hero of the Ming Dynasty, and you must be remembered in the history books. ”

Zhu Youzhu came up and buckled a high hat to Zhang Zhou's head.

Zhang Zhou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has promoted the minister, but the minister has just done a little thing that should be done. It's not meritorious. ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "There is no need to be arrogant. Your merits should be greater than Wang Yue's, and I want to give you a knighthood, even if there will be opposition from the ministers of the court, but I feel that you are worthy of this title. ”

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Zhou said very seriously, "The minister just calculated the situation on the grassland, coupled with the drought in the north last year, the grain harvest in various places was poor, and the grassland grassland must not be growing well, so he dared to tell His Majesty that the Tatars were going to march." ”

"In addition, the grassland now has internal annexation, and the spheres of influence of all parties have been solidified, if the fire sieve department wants to attack my Daming, if you want to advance from Yansui and other places, you must worry about being taken advantage of by the rest of the tribes, so it is expected that it wants to repeat the old tricks, and go straight to the border to attack and disturb the same place, and the superior forces will enter and exit quickly."

Zhu Youzhu said curiously: "You mean, this is your calculation based on experience, not the will of heaven?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty, how can there be so much providence, the minister just used a little metaphysical things, plus the minister's inference, to have this result, and the minister also said it at that time and did not do it accurately." Therefore, the minister hopes that in the future, His Majesty will not blame the minister for some inaccurate calculations. ”

"You......" Zhu Youzhu was suddenly a little speechless at Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhougong said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive the sin of lying to the ministers." ”

Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "You are like this, you can obviously let yourself be more respected, but you have to push the credit on others, you can obviously speak with the will of heaven, but you always say it as if everything is so taken for granted." Even if you deduce it, the credit is on you! Does it matter if it is providence? ”

Dai Yi next to him also smiled: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, why do you want to shirk the credit at this time?" And the mighty heavenly gunpowder, isn't that also what you concocted? ”

Zhang Zhou spread his hands helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, you see, the minister has just finished the examination now, and the results have not yet come out, the minister just wants to have the opportunity to be a civil official in the future, and make suggestions for the court from the right path, how can this be related to the matter of giving the knight?" If you really want to give a knight, then how will the ministers discuss state affairs with those ministers in the future? ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Youzhu smiled and nodded.

Zhang Zhou's reasons didn't seem to be valid before, but when it came to being an official, he felt that there was some truth.

Zhang Zhou's goal is to be a civil servant, otherwise he will not participate in any imperial examinations, and just accept his selection to enter the court.

is also because Zhang Zhou participated in the imperial examination, and there have been so many major events in the court and the central government recently, so that he, the emperor, does not have a super strong adviser by his side, and Zhu Youzhi even regrets letting Zhang Zhou take the examination.

However, Zhu Youzhu also understood that if Zhang Zhou did not follow the right path of the imperial examination, then no matter how he used Zhang Zhou in the future, he would not be able to integrate Zhang Zhou into the mainstream of the courtiers.

"So be it." Zhu Youzhu made a compromise decision, "This credit will be noted for you first, and if you fail to succeed, or if you will make progress in military achievements in the future, you will be counted as well." Even if I am not there, I will inform Prince Yu of this and ask him to write it down for you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Zhou did not refuse this time, but accepted it willingly.

Then Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Your Majesty, even if you don't have a title, what else...... There should be, right? ”

"Hmph, do you want to ask me for a reward now? I'll give you a knighthood, what more do you want? Zhu Youzhi first said with a straight face, and then pulled Zhang Zhou aside.

He didn't go back to sit on his dragon chair, he directly found a temporary seat with Zhang Zhou, and motioned for Zhang Zhou to sit down, "Bingkuan, didn't you say that Xishan is going to open a mine?" I have decided to give you a few mines, and you want to open a few of them! Is this a gift? ”

Zhang Zhouxin said.

When the emperor is really picking, the door is level to chase me.

Is this considered near-ink black?

For the past six months, you've been talking to me, the person who picks the door, and talking about things, so much so that you have also been ruined.

What a sin.

"Your Majesty, this is very good, then the minister will become the owner of the mine, and the silver will definitely be a lot of money." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

Zhu Youzhu was also laughing.

After the two talked and laughed a few words, Zhu Youzhu naturally wanted to ask about the topics he cared about.

"Northwest Military Administration, Bingkuan, do you think there will be any more variables?" Zhu Youzhu became serious.

Of course, he was worried that if the Tartar went and returned, what he got now would become a dream bubble, and then he would be happy and sad, and he would lose face as an emperor.

This is the problem......

Zhang Zhou is really hard to answer.

It was originally something that did not happen in history, in history, the fire screen led the troops from the side pass all the way to Datong, and after plundering, they went away, and many border generals were guilty because of this...... In history, Wang Yue was already dead, and he did not abandon the head pass and blew it up...... All of this in front of him is caused by Zhang Zhou's own butterfly effect.

Let Zhang Zhou accurately say whether the Tatars are coming or not coming, he can't do it.

Zhang Zhoudao: "It stands to reason that there should be no major variables, but it is not suitable to enter the grassland at this time, it is better to wait for the internal disputes in the grassland to subside a little, and then wait for the opportunity to move." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Youzhu nodded.

He wasn't the kind of emperor who was good at making progress.

With the current results, Zhu Youzhi is already satisfied, and he will not talk about any more troops.

"With your words, I am much more relieved." Zhu Youzhu seems to have taken another reassuring pill.

Zhang Zhou suddenly remembered about going home to practice gymnastics, and asked: "Then Your Majesty, should the minister retire?" ”

"Don't worry, there's something else to do."

Zhu Youzhu was also not polite.

It's like saying, it's hard to wait for your kid to finish the exam, and now that I'm arresting you, I can't interrogate you for as long as you want? Want to run? No way!

"Didn't you say that there might be ground movement about Jian Changbo? There's still no movement, isn't it...... Because I took Jianchangbo into custody, this matter was resolved, and the heavens no longer condemned him, so I could let him go? ”

Between Zhu Youzhang's words, he still tried his best to protect Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Your Majesty, it's only seventeen, it's a little early, right?" If there is ground movement in the southwestern border, it will take four or five days at the earliest for the news to reach Beijing. ”

"Yes." Zhu Youzhu sighed, "But I'm also thinking, what does God mean? ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty, the ministers have all said that the will of heaven or something, I can't do it accurately!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others next to them were staring.

This Zhang Bingkuan, speaking is really different from others.

Obviously, you said that Providence wanted to condemn the emperor and let the emperor arrest his brother-in-law, but the emperor really listened to you and arrested the person, but now you say that Providence is not accurate?

Are you bullying the king, or even playing the king?

Zhu Youzhu was not surprised, he asked, "You tell me in detail." ”

Zhang Zhou said eloquently: "The minister thinks that this providence is just the providence that the world believes, if the minister can calculate, he will associate these accidental things that may happen with His Majesty's possible situation in the future, and try his best to resolve these unwarranted criticisms." In fact, when there is a local ground movement, how much can it have to do with how His Majesty uses people? ”

"Haha."

Zhu Youzhu laughed when he heard this, "This makes sense. The people who believe in the will of heaven the most are actually those ministers, and only those ministers like to talk about the will of heaven. For example, last year's Qingning Palace disaster, there are still a bunch of people talking about it, and I don't get tired of it, but I still have to show a very humble attitude to discuss the gains and losses with them. ”

The emperor suddenly became an atheist.

Even the eunuchs next to him were thinking, who are you if you don't believe in the will of heaven the most, Your Majesty?

Zhang Zhoudao: "The minister is not embarrassed by Jianchangbo, but he just thinks that even if he wants to release him, it is better to wait until after twenty-two, when it is determined that there is no ground movement in various places, and it is not too late to release people." If that had happened, it wasn't providential...... There will also be people who use the will of heaven to embarrass His Majesty. ”

Zhu Youzhi was relieved when he heard this, and he nodded very happily: "Then wait a few more days, Trillium has indeed become more and more reckless in recent years, and he should be allowed to restrain his temperament." If the queen asked, I would say that it was my decision! Bingkuan, you don't have to worry about the Zhang family being embarrassed. ”
