Outside the Qianqing Palace, Dai Yi and Xiao Jing walked towards the duty room of the celebrant supervisor.

"Mr. Zhang, too, what kind of book is it good to do? Do you still want to revise the "Canon"? Is he alone capable of doing such a thing? ”

Dai Yi was very puzzled, but he also said helplessly, "But if Mr. Zhang himself said that he wanted to repair, but His Majesty was looking forward to it like this, then if it is not repaired well, or if it is picked on by Wenchen, this matter will not be easy to solve." ”

Xiao Jing followed Dai Yi quickly, still wondering in his heart, you are older than me, why are you trotting faster than me this way?

"Then Father-in-law Dai, this is going to remind Mr. Zhang and let him not be reckless?"

When Xiao Jing's words fell, Dai Yi suddenly stopped, but he almost shook Xiao Jing's head.

Dai Yi glared at Xiao Jing and said: "It's okay if you didn't say it before, but now you have mentioned it to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has such great expectations, this is saying that if you don't cultivate, you won't cultivate?" ”

"That ......"

Xiao Jing was also embarrassed.

This repair is not successful, it is easy to be provoked by civil officials to find trouble, and this is not repaired and cannot be explained to the emperor.

And this kind of errand?

Dai Yi said: "Your Majesty doesn't order?" Let you quickly find someone to send the congratulatory gift to congratulate the marriage of the Zhang and Lin families to the Lin Mansion, so that Lin Shilang knows His Majesty's concern for this marriage! ”

Xiao Jing instantly understood, and saluted: "Let's go and ask Mr. Zhang, how is the progress of the book repair, whether you have to need the help of Master Cheng or Lin Shilang, and if there is anything that needs help, you will secretly contact relevant people and other help...... That's what it means, right? ”

Dai Yi glanced at him and said, "You've finally opened up!" Go! ”

"Yes, yes."

Xiao Jing took the order and left, but he was pondering in his heart.

Do you still need you to remind me of this kind of thing? It's as if you're the only one who understands that we're all stupid, and it's not up to me to help you with this?

……

……

Guozijian, the dormitory repaired by Lin Han, is also outside the courtyard where his family lives.

Zhang Zhouzheng brought his special gift, that is, an almost complete copy of the "Daming Huidian", and came to Lin Han to "propose".

In fact, in the marriage regulations of this era, before the six ceremonies, people have been sent to inquire about the willingness to marry and other issues, and they have basically been following the process since the beginning of Nacai, of course, there are also those who want to be directly recruited, and there are many precedents for being driven out of the house by the woman.

Nacai is not an overly gift, Nazheng is.

Zhang Zhou's visit this time was actually to communicate with Lin Han in terms of etiquette, and this matter should have been taken care of by Zhang Zhou's elders, or just send someone directly.

But after all, she married the daughter of the squire's family, even if she was a concubine, she married her as a concubine, because it was a royal marriage, Zhang Zhou felt that it was necessary to come and go in person.

"It's coming!"

Liu Shun saw Zhang Zhou marching into the alley outside, and hurriedly beckoned someone to come over.

"Isn't this Assistant Teacher Liu?" Zhang Zhou still remembers this teaching assistant of Guangye Hall.

When he first came to report to Guozijian, it was this guy who set a threshold for Lin Han for himself.

At the moment, Liu Shun changed his previous arrogance and prejudice, nodded and said, "Lin Lao has been waiting for a long time, please come with the lower officials." ”

Zhang Zhou is also an official now, but he is no longer a national superintendent, but a civil official, but if he has to care, Zhang Zhou can use his own military position from the first rank to oppress people.

But using official positions to oppress people is not Zhang Zhou's style.

It seems to be something beyond its own ability, and in Zhang Zhou's opinion, it is too superficial.

……

……

Lin Han's yard is not big, he and his son live in the same courtyard, and Lin Han's wife and daughter, a mother-in-law who is responsible for taking care of the family, live in another courtyard, and the men and women live separately.

Zhang Zhou is also pondering, probably Lin Han is so old, he shouldn't have any personal emotional needs, otherwise why don't he live with his wife?

And also.

You built this dormitory, so why don't you arrange a bigger and better yard for yourself to live in? You're a bit mean to yourself.

Think about my new home......

"Lin Shilang. I was courteous under it. Zhang Zhou entered the small courtyard.

Lin Han and his son Lin Ting were there, but they couldn't see Lin Yi.

A woman who is about to get married, even if this small courtyard is too small to do anything, she can't do anything without going out of the second door, no matter how she says it, she must avoid coming out to meet people.

Lin Ting bowed to Zhang Zhou: "I've seen Zhang Dudu." ”

The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty basically have a title to enter the Governor's Mansion, which is commensurate with their own titles, and those like Zhang Zhou who do not have a title to enter the Governor's Mansion, whether they are the left and right governors, or the governors of the same knowledge and the governors, will be called "governors", but because the governors are easy to confuse with the factory officials, they are generally called the governors.

"Don't, Brother Lin, just call me Bingkuan, I'm just a fictitious position, and I'm still serving in the Hanlin Academy." Zhang Zhou smiled.

Lin Han said: "Lizhan, it's none of your business here, you can step back first." ”

"Yes."

Lin Ting was about to go out, and Zhang Zhou also beckoned the people outside to bring in some gifts, large boxes and small boxes of things, just like big gifts.

One of the most conspicuous is the thick stack of encapsulated books.

Although Lin Han doesn't have a lot of life, he doesn't seem to pay much attention to money or anything, which is also a common disease of Confucianism, while envying the good life of those rich and powerful, he still has to be stiff to make people feel that he is content with poverty.

"Today is just Nacai, why do you have to bring so many things? You didn't treat the little girl lightly, it was the old man himself who treated her lightly! ”

Regarding the fact that his daughter can only marry someone else as a concubine, Lin Han is still angry.

Lin Han could have directly rejected the Empress Dowager Zhou, but that was equivalent to rejecting the emperor, and with his pride in his innocence, he could have accepted the matter of going to Nanjing to be an official.

But after weighing it again and again, especially when the emperor was full of expectations for him and wanted him to accumulate some prestige in the Confucian world on behalf of Zhang Zhou, Lin Han finally agreed.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Old Lin, did the marriage with you bring you some trouble?" ”

Lin Han sighed and said: "With your fame, you have been in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and you can also get ahead, but it can only be said that you are too early to come out now, and who will recognize you among your colleagues in the DPRK and China?" The old man also feels that he has met you, your essence is not bad, everything you do is for the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty is full of expectations for you, after all, you are from Beiyong...... The old man could only reluctantly make it difficult. ”

Zhang Zhou wanted to say, this is a beautiful thing to say.

Co-author: Old man Lin, haven't you thought about your future career?

Marrying with me can basically guarantee that you will be the secretary of the Northern Sixth Department, and even you can be promoted to a position that others dream of, such as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is it for my good that you are here to talk to me?

Even if I am your son-in-law, others will do to me what they should do to me.

On the face, Zhang Zhou couldn't be sarcastic about Lin Han, and arched his hand: "Thank you for Lin Lao's kindness." Today, I specially brought a book, and I would like to ask Lin Lao to refer to it. ”

"A book?"

Lin Han also frowned when he heard this.

He wanted to say, even if you are the champion, what kind of book do you cultivate at a young age?

But on second thought, who said young people can't fix books?

Zhang Zhou personally went over, took out the basic outline, and handed it to Lin Han.

Lin Hanben was also careless, and he didn't think that this was an important book, but when he looked through the first book and saw the outline inside, he stood up directly and said, "This is ......"

This is the table of contents of the revised edition of the "Duties of the Ministers", which involves many additions and changes, and the specific volumes are in the following stack. There is also a compendium of books such as "The Law of the Great Ming" below, which you can refer to in detail. Zhang Zhou's tone was calm.

Lin Han didn't continue to look down, raised his head and frowned, and said, "Bingkuan, where did you get this book?" Did Hallymin let you take it out? ”

Lin Han is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, although the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites is just a false title, but he is also very clear about the things in the Hanlin Academy, and naturally knows that since the ten years of Hongzhi, the most concerned thing in the Daming Hanlin Academy is to repair the "Daming Huidian".

He didn't think Zhang Zhou had the strength to do it himself.

Zhang Zhoudao: "I just looked at the revised parts in the Hanlin Academy, and some of them were not overlooked, and the rest were all edited by myself. What is involved are written laws, rules, etc., and do not involve subjective assumptions, and I am afraid that there must be some unknowns in them, so I can only ask Lin Lao to help with the details. ”

"You...... Alone? ”

Lin Han was also speechless.

There are so many people in the Ming Dynasty, who have been working hard for two years, and they haven't touched the door yet, so you just entered the door?

"Take it, old man."

In Lin Han's opinion, since Zhang Zhou, you are bragging, then I will give you a good check.

Even if it's just to kill your sharpness, I think it's necessary, old man.

……

……

Lin Han and Zhang Zhou, young and old, did not talk about any major marriages, but instead studied the "Daming Huidian".

Zhang Zhou brought all the books to Lin Han, and Lin Han wanted them one by one, volume by volume, and even reviewed word by word.

In fact, Zhang Zhou felt that Lin Han was also a little bragging.

He asked himself that he was very knowledgeable, and that he had been rolling in the pile of old papers for many years, and even those who had read through or even studied the finished book, did not dare to guarantee that he could remember it all.

And Lin Han is just a national priest wine, many professions are not directly related to him, and he can only make details in the parts he knows.

“…… In this paragraph, why is there so much difference between the Ministry of Rites and Honglu's affairs? Lin Han thought he had found something wrong.

Zhang Zhoudao: "The Beihuitong Hall is in the east of Qingfang Street, built in the sixth year of orthodoxy, and rebuilt in the fifth year of Hongzhi, with a total of 376 rooms. The South Huitong Hall is in the north of Yuheqiao West Street, Mixiang, Dongjiang, and was built in six years of orthodoxy, and was rebuilt in five years of Hongzhi, with a total of 387 rooms. The two museums in the north and south were moved to the Honglu Temple in the six years of orthodoxy, and now after the envoys of the royal palace arrived in Beijing, they were mostly received by the Ministry of Rites, but in fact they should be transferred to the same hall, and only the Honglu Temple was solely responsible. ”

Lin Han frowned.

Although he didn't know some things very clearly, what Zhang Zhou said was true.

Emperor Hongzhi originally wanted to rebuild the "Duties of the Secretaries" to clarify the responsibilities of the various yamen in the court and prevent omissions and overlaps.

This is also because the Ming Dynasty from the founding of the country to the present, there will be a lot of problems, the law should also have the opportunity to add changes or increase cases, and even for some unreasonable functional arrangements, or too heavy, too light legal provisions to make amendments, but this is a very large thing, need to be carefully studied.

And Zhang Zhou took advantage of the convenience of a "prophet".

These things were originally set by yourself, and I just came to explain them to you before you set them.

If you don't think I'm right, then you bring it up, just treat it as the current one, and slap yourself in the face in the future, and I'm happy to see your jokes!

"Hmm."

Lin Han couldn't find fault with it and continued to look down.

The more you look at it......

The more shocked he felt, because it covered all aspects, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can be directly regarded as a book.

……

……

Next yard.

Lin Ting is comforting her sister, Lin Yi may also know that she is getting married, and she doesn't know what mood she is in, sometimes she will cry, sometimes she will have some expectations, or some confusion.

"It is estimated that my father will talk to Bingkuan soon, and you can see that Bingkuan is a person, although it sometimes seems childish, but his talent is very good, and he also has a stomach."

Lin Ting felt sorry for his sister.

But this is always a royal marriage, and on the face, my sister is not bad at all.

Lin Ting said with a smile: "Miss me Daming, besides you, who else is qualified for the marriage of the royal gift?" and after thou hast passed away, thou shalt not be neglected. ”

The words are so.

But the identity of the concubine alone made Lin Ting feel that this was purely looking for psychological comfort.

The only royal marriage in the Hongzhi period was that in the ninth year of Hongzhi, Kong Hongtai, the prince of Yansheng, proposed to his nephew Kong Wenshao and Li Dongyang's only daughter, and the emperor only asked to help make peace, which was also because Kong Wenshao's father Kong Hongxu committed adultery and murder back then, and was deprived of the title of Duke of Yansheng, and Kong Hongtai had no children.

Let Kong Wenshao marry Li Dongyang's daughter, more to improve the legitimacy of Kong Wenshao's inheritance of Yan Shenggong.

Li Dongyang once wrote an epitaph: "...... My daughter's eyebrows are clear, and she is standing jade, meaning that she is an extraordinary child, and all the noble families discuss marriage, but they are all ......"

But in the end, he couldn't stand being made peace by the ministers of the DPRK and China, Li Dongyang was resentful, but agreed to wait three years before getting married.

In the past few years, they have talked about their background and style, who wants to marry their baby daughter to a stinky boy with a murderous father?

In history, it was not until the thirteenth year of Hongzhi that the marriage was completed.

After this woman got married, although she kept the courtesy, she was not treated kindly: "...... My daughter lives in mourning and mourning, screens clothes, and worships each other diligently. Everywhere the concubines and the unrestrained, the marriage relatives are not arrogant, the servants are thousands of fingers are gracious, living in a room, although the famous garden villa has not tasted one. Repeatedly prescribing the word and setting up a concubine, people think it is difficult to compare. The word is a man, and he is infertile. His illness is also permanent. Violating his parents, crying and crying......"

can't give birth to a son, so she can only give her husband a concubine, and often misses her parents so much that she "cries for nothing".

So much so that Zhengde passed away in five years.

Before Li Dongyang died, he experienced all the illnesses of his own children, and only one stepchild was still alive.

"Is your father done talking?" Lin Yi shed a few more tears and raised her head to look at Lin Ting.

Lin Ting said: "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

"No...... Not okay? ”

Lin Yi was still crying before, but now she looked shy.

Lin Ting roughly understood at a glance, what else did he persuade his sister? It's yourself at all...... I have nothing to do with myself.

"What's wrong? It's not like I haven't seen it. Just follow me and don't let anyone see you. ”

Lin Ting took his sister out of the door, and it was next door, the alley was very narrow, after all, it was just a dormitory alley next to Guozijian, and he usually didn't take the carriage.

"Why hasn't there been any movement?" Lin Ting was also curious, so he directly pushed the door open.

But he saw that the gifts from before were all placed in the courtyard, but the books were gone.

"Second Prince Lin, do you have something?" Liu Shun greeted Jinyiwei and other visitors from the Zhang family at the entrance of the alley, and when he saw Lin Ting coming out, he hurriedly came over to ask.

"It's okay! Go back! ”

Then Lin Ting entered the courtyard.

Lin Yi wanted to go in, but after thinking about it, she turned around and went back to the courtyard next door.

……

……

Small study inside.

Lin Han and Zhang Zhou, young and old, were still reading the provisions of the imperial court laws, and when it came to the part of the "Da Ming Law", Lin Han studied it most carefully.

"Father!"

At this moment, Lin Ting appeared at the door.

Lin Han raised his head and frowned, "What are you doing here?" ”

Lin Ting looked at the pile of books next to the desk and arched his hand: "Father, I don't know if there is anything that can help?" ”

"You don't need to be here! Are you Xiu Mu today? If it's okay, go back to the Yamen! ”

Lin Ting left again with a disgraced face.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Lin Shilang, this book, why don't you stay here first, let you refer to it for a few days, don't worry." ”

When Lin Han heard this, his old face was a little unbearable.

He was going to find fault with the "Daming Huidian" compiled by Zhang Zhou, but it turned out to be a menacing opening almost every time, and finally ended with Zhang Zhouyi coming back...... Lin Han also found that the person who didn't seem to understand the rules and laws of the Ming Dynasty was himself.

Are you embarrassed to help people with details?

"No need." Lin Han said, "You should ask the people of the Hanlin Academy more, they are working on this book, and they have more classics to consult, or they can give you some assistance." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled but did not say a word.

Lin Han glanced at him and said, "You don't plan to share the credit with others, do you?" ”

"It doesn't mean that." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, "I should look for them for details, but before that, I am going to let Lin Lao and Master Cheng take a closer look together." ”

"Cheng Keqin?"

Lin Han frowned.

Lin Han and Cheng Minzheng have a good personal relationship, and Cheng Minzheng can only do nothing in his mansion in Beijing because of a case made out of nothing, and Lin Han regrets a lot.

It is probably that the people who make knowledge will sympathize with each other.

Lin Han himself is not the kind of professional politician, so he is particularly sympathetic to Cheng Minzheng's experience.

Because this kind of thing, maybe one day, it will also fall on him.

For example, let him be the main examiner...... There is a precedent for Cheng Minzheng, he will definitely not be a rebel, and it is easy to lose his life.

Zhang Zhoudao: "It's him." ”

"Hmm." If someone else was changed, maybe Lin Han would have to consult with Zhang Zhou about whether it was appropriate, but when he heard that Zhang Zhou was going to find Cheng Minzheng, Lin Han nodded directly, "He has been in Hanyuan for many years and has extraordinary insights, so it's right to ask him." ”
