Everyone looked at Tang Yin.

The puzzle was thrown at him.

Now that he has won the Jinshi, the so-called gambling contract can be completely abandoned, why did the Jinshi let me join your division?

If your husband is standing here, I can worship him, and you still want to accept me in on behalf of your teacher? Am I Tang someone who doesn't want to lose face?

"Tang is the same year, there is no need to take such things to heart." Someone used to persuade Tang Yin, "It's the same year, why take it seriously?" ”

"Yes, even if you want to apprentice, there is no reason to accept disciples on behalf of the teacher, right?"

A group of fellow jinshi were gossiping.

Zhang Mao stood next to him and smiled without saying a word, almost wanting to say, you people who don't know anything, this is called putting an opportunity in front of people, can you still persuade others to give up the opportunity?

Tang Yin said in a calm tone: "It is important to be born to keep your oath, how can you break the contract in the future?" ”

After speaking, Tang Yin cherished it very much, knelt down in front of Zhang Zhou in front of everyone, and said respectfully: "The master is above, disciple Tang Yin, I will not forget the teachings of the master when I want to learn from you." ”

Because he knelt down in public at the Enrong banquet to the same year, although he said that he was apprenticed, this was also detrimental to the dignity of the scholar, not to mention that Tang Yin was older than Zhang Annian, and the two had so many festivals before.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and besides, the matter of apprenticeship has not been humiliated by anyone, and I will call you Senior Brother Tang in the future." Rise. ”

"Whew."

Tang Yin took a long breath.

No one knew what was going on in his mind.

When he stood up, he didn't look at the faces of the people around him, probably knowing that others would be prejudiced and contemptuous of him.

With his arrogance, kneeling down to Zhang Zhou also requires half a lifetime of courage.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "I also ask Senior Brother Tang to come to the door recently to do a formal apprenticeship ceremony, and I will accept you into the teacher for the next day." ”

Tang Yin looked up at Zhang Zhou.

Not once, but a second time?

I'm on your knees here.

Not only to thank you for your help in the case, but also to fulfill the gambling contract, you still refuse to give up?

The matter of accepting me into the teacher's door is not to humiliate me on purpose, but to be real?

"Okay, the Enrong feast will continue." Zhang Mao said with a smile, "You will all be ministers of the same palace in the future, and you should help each other." ”

Tang Yin was already sitting at the second table, and because of this incident, he seemed embarrassed to sit in the front, so he went directly to the back wine table.

The people present didn't seem to take this little episode to heart, but from time to time someone looked at Tang Yin, which also made Tang Yin somewhat unable to save face.

……

……

The Eun Rong luncheon ended.

Zhang Mao was going to send Zhang Zhou out, but it was Lin Han who called Zhang Zhou aside.

Lin Han, as the right attendant of the National Prince's Sacrificial Wine and the Hanging Rite Department, had no need to attend the Grace Banquet, but he still had a will to let him come today, and even he didn't understand the situation himself.

"Zhang Bingkuan, do you know why the lieutenant sent a message to let the old man come here?"

Lin Han also had a stinky face.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "I don't know." ”

He really didn't know, but he thought that the emperor wanted him to get closer to Wen Ru, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, they didn't think about it, and the emperor probably wanted to find another way, in the end, Zhang Zhou was nominally from the Guozi Prison, so it was not bad to let him get closer to Lin Han and let Lin Han be a person who opened the way for him to become famous.

At least when others want to criticize him, they also have to consider Lin Han's face, right?

Lin Han looked around first, and after making sure that no one was approaching, he asked, "Is there anything about the Empress Dowager mentioned before?" ”

"Which thing?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Lin Han said: "It is to let the little girl enter the palace......"

"Oh, I haven't seen the Empress Dowager recently, and I don't know if she has any arrangements for the next step, so I have a chance to help you ask when I get back." Zhang Zhou smiled.

Lin Han found that he and Zhang Zhou were not all the way, so he didn't want to talk to Zhang Zhou.

……

……

Outside the Ministry of Rites, the Jinshi gave up their hands and said goodbye.

happened to meet the sedan chair of Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and some people wanted to go over to climb the relationship, but they were also blocked by the people of the Ministry of Rites.

There are too many people, and the yamen of the Ministry of Rites is so big, and the door is a little messy.

Zhang Zhou had Jinyiwei here to take him into the palace, after all, the emperor wanted to mention to him that the prince should be a teacher.

As for Lin Han, he was going to say hello to Xu Qiong before leaving, but he found that Xiao Jing's carriage also stopped, and Xiao Jing walked down with a eunuch, and Lin Han didn't know him.

Xiao Jing's target was him Lin Han, and he came over and made an introduction first: "Lin Saijiu, this is Jiang Lu Jiang's father-in-law of the imperial eunuch, he has the meaning of the empress dowager, and he wants to convey it to you." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Han felt the pressure on his shoulders.

Then Jiang Lu and Lin Han walked to the position of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites by the corridor.

"Lin Lao's sacrificial wine, the Empress Dowager ordered, saying that she wanted to give you a copy of the media, and she would make her daughter marry a family, would you be willing?" Jiang Lu is still very polite.

Even if this was almost Empress Dowager Zhou's order, he had to pretend that he was here to discuss with Lin Han.

Lin Han said: "The little girl has been married......"

Jiang Lu smiled: "It's your second daughter, Lin Yi, who once entered the palace with your wife to see the Queen Mother, as far as our family knows, she has not yet been married." ”

Lin Han frowned.

I even asked about whether I married my daughter or not? It seems that the Empress Dowager is going to be serious.

But the old lady is so anxious to take a concubine for your grandson, what does the queen think?

Jiang Lu saw that Lin Han didn't answer, and he also wanted to finish talking about it early and go back early: "It's the champion of this palace exam, Mr. Zhang Zhouzhang." ”

"Ahem."

Lin Han was unexpected.

Didn't you say that you would give the emperor a concubine? How did it come to that kid...... Conquest?

"Father-in-law Jiang, is it Zhang Bingkuan? Isn't he married? What does the Empress Dowager mean by this? ”

Lin Hanxin said, this old lady is very interesting, just say that my daughter is a concubine, and now I want to marry my daughter to a married man, and I am embarrassed to say that this is called media pulling fiber?

Is this going to make me Lin someone sell their daughter?

Jiang Lu probably guessed Lin Han's attitude, took out a letter and said, "This is the Empress Dowager's decree, it is very clear above, you can take a look." ”

Lin Han's face hesitated, but he still took Yi Zhi over.

Seeing the above content, the more she looked at it, the deeper her brows wrinkled, and the Empress Dowager Zhou could not hide her admiration for Zhang Zhou, thinking that Zhang Zhou should form a good alliance with Lin Han for Qin and Jin...... did not mention that Zhang Zhou had already married a wife.

"The Empress Dowager knows that Zhang Bingkuan already has a family, but she is still like this, but it is difficult for a strong man?" Lin Han also let it go.

Who said that the Empress Dowager could mess around?

Is there any royal law?

Jiang Lu said coldly: "Lin Lao's sacrificial wine, the Empress Dowager not only wants to fulfill the happy event of your two families, but also wants to help Mr. Zhang and His Majesty." You are highly respected in the court, but you should also know that this is not something that a courtier can question. Also, do you want Ling Yan to enter the palace? ”

Don't look at Jiang Lu's usual politeness, but as a close person by the side of the Empress Dowager Zhou, he can't do it without any skills.

Lin Han was stunned on the spot.

Jiang Lu said: "Father-in-law Xiao is still waiting for our family to reply, the Empress Dowager and her old man are still waiting for news, please don't lose face." ”

"Father's ......"

As he was talking, Lin Han's son Lin Ting wanted to go back with him after leaving the Ministry of Rites, but he couldn't find anyone, and finally saw him on the side, shouting and walking over.

Lin Han immediately stretched out his hand and motioned for his son to step aside first.

Lin Han said: "Please let the old man go back and think about this matter." ”

"What did the Empress Dowager and Grandpa Xiao say?" Jiang Lu thought to himself, you really have a face, you still have to think about such a good thing?

Don't give face?

Lin Han said helplessly: "The old man will give the empress dowager an explanation, but please give the old man time to ......"

After speaking, Lin Han ignored Jiang Lu, who wanted him to give a clear answer, and walked straight into the distance.

"Father."

Lin Ting saw that his father finally came over, and hurried over to greet him.

"Let's go!"

Lin Han was resolute, and took his son to the direction of the street.

……

……

Xiao Jing went to the palace gate with the news of the matchmaker for Zhang Zhou and took Zhang Zhou into the palace together.

"Why bother?"

When Zhang Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In order to help him, the emperor was really willing to use his connections, and even did such a thing as marrying Lin Han.

The problem is that Old Man Lin has such a high status in the academic world, even if he marries his concubine to an ordinary scholar as his wife, he will not be willing to let his daughter be a concubine, right?

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "If it is Your Majesty's marriage, everything will be different." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled.

There is still a matter of Wang Mingshan that has not been decided, and the emperor is going to make him more trouble with Lin Yi.

But think about it......

Man.

It's troublesome, but the body is still very honest, and it's a little exciting to think about.

Thinking of Lin Yi, a young woman in literature and art who loves to preach and wants to reason with others every time, she turned around and became a concubine, obviously wanting to fight with him but didn't dare to fight...... Then let her wait on the embroidered couch for the "waiter...... Gee.

"Mr. Zhang, today Your Majesty is asking you to enter the East Palace." Xiao Jing said.

"Talk? It's early, right? I'm just a revisionist. Zhang Zhoudao.

As a history museum editor, I usually sort out the lectures for those lecturers, which is a matter of light on my face, so I was asked to go into the lecture?

Xiao Jing said: "That's the case, Your Majesty originally wanted to directly promote you as a servant, but it was Liu Ge Lao who said that it would break the rules." Your Majesty has discussed with Liu Ge Lao and them, and I will compromise and let you enter the palace to give a lecture with Hanlin Xiu first, and then promote you to a waiter in a month or two, and I will first wronged you......"

Zhang Zhou wanted to say that if this is called a grievance, then it is estimated that all the scholars in the world will be wronged into the ditch.

How many people can't envy it.

"Your Majesty also said that you should strictly discipline the prince, you don't have to leave any affection for the prince, you will be beaten when you should be beaten, and you will be punished when you should be punished." Xiao Jing said.

Zhang Zhou heard that this was to let him discipline his son on behalf of the emperor.

But the question is......

Your Majesty, that's your son, not my son, my son has nothing wrong with fighting, and if you don't like it, you can beat it up first and then think of a reason.

If your son and I call casually, you say you support it, I'm afraid you'll be distressed in your heart, right?

Reluctant to fight yourself, let others fight?

When you are a parent, you will always have this kind of ideal, and when it is implemented, your mind will be different.

……

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhu met Zhang Zhou, his expression was very happy, and he did not lecture about the prince, but first took out Zhu Feng's performance to the emperor after he arrived in Ningyuan, explaining the situation of preparing for war in Ningyuan.

“…… Zhijie is a child who can do things, just two days after arriving, he has already been decorated with a sound and impressive, even Zhang Yong and Chen Rui they all praised him, and even Ren Liang They also think that I have chosen a capable person to go over......"

Zhu Youji's face was very proud, and he seemed to be proud of his correct selection and appointment.

Zhang Zhou frowned secretly when he heard this.

Your Majesty, you can't hear a good word, do you? Do those people really think that Zhu Feng is a capable person?

knows that he was chosen by you, even if Zhu Feng is a straw bag, they will blow Zhu Feng's rainbow fart in front of you, which is indirectly slapping your ass.

Do I have to explain this to you?

"Approaching the deadline for Di Yi's invasion, I have many expectations, if I know that I can lead the troops to Yu Ningyuan to pass on another good news, the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty will be stable and peaceful, and I estimate that I will not have to worry about the border affairs in the next year or two."

"But it's okay to think about it, after all, you're here."

Zhu Youji's face was full of expectation.

Zhang Zhou was also embarrassed to hit Zhu Youji's self-confidence.

There are many factions in the grassland, and the situation of the grassland in the past two years is not good, the grass is not fat, the horses are not strong, but the appetite of the hungry wolves in the grassland is not small, if Wang Weining has not died, maybe he is still a little sure.

You can let me go and predict when and where there will be enemies...... The existence of the butterfly effect is no longer possible to control in real time, so you can only rely on the border soldiers to adapt to their own bloody battles.

"Bingkuan, the Empress Dowager wants to tell you about the matchmaker, did she tell you?" Zhu Youzhu said with a smile.

As an emperor, he is also very affectionate, and he didn't first ask Zhang Zhou to be a teacher for his son, but asked Zhang Zhou about the matter here.

Zhang Zhou arched his hand: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this will make it difficult for Lin Saijiu." ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed and said: "The daughter of the Lin Sai Restaurant, I have let people explore, and they are all good in appearance, but they are all concubines, if it is the Empress Dowager who says the matchmaker, and I have the title of the imperial decree, I don't think there is any disadvantage in this." Rather, it's a favor. ”

Probably means, you Lin Han yourself are the daughters of concubines, why do you want others to marry as the main family?

If a big family refuses to marry you, don't you know it in your heart?

"Bingkuan, in fact, this is also to pave the way for you to be an official in the court in the future, Lin Xijiu is old and old, and he may not stay long in the Guozi Prison, my original idea was to transfer him to Nanjing...... It is difficult to make room for him in the six departments of Jingbei. But if I marry you, I will keep him in Beijing no matter what. ”

Zhu Youzhi can be regarded as showing favor to Zhang Zhou, and he is also giving Lin Han a chance.

No matter how awesome you Lin Han is, there is still a gap between you and the mainstream civil official system of the current dynasty, you are now the title of the right attendant of the Guozi Priest Wine Hanging Ceremony Department, if you want to go further, you can only go to Nanjing to be a scholar.

Historically, it was in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi that Lin Han was transferred to Nanjing as the secretary of the ministry.

But Nanjing...... It's a place to raise idlers, a Nanjing official department book, in terms of authority and the Beijing Division's book is not a star and a half, and in the end, Lin Han mixed up with the Nanjing military department secretary and counselor, which is a little better than the Nanjing Ministry of Officials.

After all, among the six departments in Nanjing, only the military department and the household department can be regarded as having some authority.

But now the emperor also said that if Lin Han knew each other and married Zhang Zhou, it would seem that Lin Han took Zhang Zhou, but in fact, Zhang Zhou took Lin Han to take off, no matter how the emperor was, even if he knew that he offended Liu Jian and others and ruined the order of the officialdom in the capital, he would give him a Shangshu of the Northern Sixth Department to him.

"Bingkuan, I'm not only helping you, but also helping him." Zhu Youzhu sighed.

The emperor meant.

Brother Bingkuanxian, you think that your brother is still a foil to you, right?

As for Lin Han...... If he knows each other and marries you, then I will help him, if he doesn't know each other, then I don't have a reason to help him, basically you can send to Nanjing early.

"It's hard to say." Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly.

In fact, it depends on what Lin Han thinks.

Zhang Zhou also knew that if he clearly told Lin Han that you could become the six Shangshu of the capital if you married me, then Lin Han would definitely scoff and say that he didn't need it.

But Lin Han really doesn't need it?

has been an official all his life, why is it that a respected old scholar with good ability is not bad, and he can only go to Nanjing when he is a scholar? Who doesn't want to stay in the capital for greater development?

Zhang Zhou can probably understand.

The emperor used him Zhang Zhou as his own faction and began to stuff people around him.

Lin Han was the first.

"I won't let you tell it, I'll tell him personally." Zhu Youzhu said, "You don't have to worry about this, even if the forest sacrifice wine is not good, you can discuss it with others." This is not the only one among the celebrities in Beijing......"

Zhang Zhou was quite surprised.

It seems that the emperor helped him marry in order to seek a career in the emperor.

This made Zhang Zhou embarrassed.

"There is another thing, that is, I want you to enter the palace earlier to tell the prince, this kid is too noisy, except for you, no one else can let him settle down to study, I didn't discuss this matter with you in advance, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed."

Zhu Youzhu was a little embarrassed to mention this.

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, I'm a courtier, I won the top prize, isn't it just to do this kind of thing? What else are you discussing with me?

A will come down, and I have to do it if I don't do it.

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of a minister." Zhang Zhoudao.

"Don't say that, Bingkuan, your majestic martial arts strategy is for governing the country and the country, teaching the prince is overkill for you, if you don't like teaching the prince, tell me at any time, I will arrange another errand for you. In the future, you may be very busy, and you will need to participate in the early dynasty......"

The emperor was embarrassed, not only to let Zhang Zhou be Zhu Houzhao's teacher.

According to Zhu Youji's meaning, you have all been promoted to the Jinshi, and it is also your duty to enter the court to participate in politics and discuss politics in the future, and even have to be a staff member for me in the future...... All kinds of things have to be carried out by you alone.

You, Zhang Bingkuan, may be more tired than the first minister.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Your Majesty, you appreciate the minister so much, but it will make the minister a little cramped." ”

"Don't!" Zhu Youzhu heard that Zhang Zhou was cramped, so he hurriedly walked out from behind the desk and stood together in front of Zhang Zhou.

"Bingkuan, I treat you as a friend, and you don't always need to treat yourself as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, you and I can speak freely. Today I went to the Imperial Garden with me, and I asked you about health. ”

"In addition, for dinner in the palace, I will ask the prince and the queen to go to the queen mother together...... Her old man protects the media for you, and you should also thank you......"
