Chapter 134: The Troubles of the Big Shots

Since the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di ordered the canal to be dredged, almost everyone in the world knew that the capital was going to be moved. This time, Zhu Di of the Northern Tour kept the crown prince Zhu Gaochi in charge of the country, assisted by Yang Shiqi and others, but almost half of the other civil and military officials were pulled over, which was the precursor to the relocation of the capital. Although the city of Beijing is breaking ground everywhere, the official residences are sufficient, and many heroes have bought some real estate as soon as possible, and almost all of them have settled down a few years ago.

Just before the Chinese New Year, from Hu Guang who was sick to Yang Rong, who is now assisting in political affairs, to Du Zhen Shen Du and several other civil officials of the Hanlin Academy, everyone was given a mansion. Although the houses are large and small, and the locations are different, everyone is happy. Yang Rong's mansion is on Qianmen Street, very close to the imperial palace under construction, it is a first-class prime location, surrounded by princes and beppu, he lives in it as a five-rank civil official, but it can be called the first one.

On this day, when Yang Rong and Du Zhen left the West Palace together, they complained half-truthfully: "The emperor gave me such a big mansion, and I am grateful, but if I don't go to court half an hour in the morning, I will almost be able to go out." There are a total of three Hou mansions around me, five Bo mansions, if you encounter any of the honor guards, you have to avoid them, and when you go back this night, you would rather be late than early, otherwise you don't know when you will get home. Yishan, you were still smart at the beginning, but you actually picked such a remote place as Poplar Lane, and you can't meet anyone in and out of this ordinary way! ”

"Since Mian Ren said so, you go to the Hanlin Courtyard to talk about it, and see how many people are willing to exchange houses with you?" Du Zhen smiled casually, and when he saw that Yang Rong had a self-contained look on his face, he sighed again, "The British duke's illness is almost better, but the eldest brother is sometimes good and sometimes bad, a few days ago, the emperor asked the imperial doctor to see it, but the imperial doctor did not have anything good to say when he returned." I'm just afraid ......"

Although he was also in the Wenyuan Pavilion Counselor, after the liberation, Hu Guang could almost be regarded as the first cabinet minister, and was awarded the title of Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar. Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar and Hanlin Bachelor are of the same grade, but they have another meaning. Yang Rong is the youngest among the cabinet ministers, and he rarely has other thoughts on weekdays, but at this moment, when he thought of Hu Guang's illness and death, his desire to compete for the limelight immediately faded. There is a sad thought of a rabbit dying and a fox.

Yang Rong and Du Zhenyuan were just the little friendship when they worked together in the Hanlin Academy, but now with Zhu Di's northern tour, the two have more opportunities to deal with each other all day long than in the past, and he gradually found that the other party was not as cold-faced and cold-hearted as in the past, and occasionally spoke from the bottom of his heart. On weekdays, in front of Zhu Di, although he can cope with Yuru, he is a little unhappy at this time.

"They are all seriously ill, and the emperors of England have been rewarded continuously, and even the doctors of the Tai Hospital have been sent to live in Zhang's house. I also went to visit once in person, and announced the medical case every day. But Brother Guang has been sick for so many days, and although the emperor often inquires, the relationship is far from the same after all......"

"Be cautious!" Du Zhen heard Yang Rong say more and more wrong, and couldn't help coughing. Seeing that the other party knew that he was out of shape, he said with a straight face, "The friendship of sharing hardships is always better than the love of sharing wealth and prosperity, which is also human nature." The emperor treats the heroes well. This is a good thing, not a bad thing, and Hugh is going to be misunderstood. Having said that, when he came to visit me a few days ago, I asked him about his homework, and asked him about the state of the British duke, and I also took the opportunity to mention the emperor's favor to the British duke, how do you guess he answered me? ”

Yang Rong immediately became interested, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How does he answer?" ”

He said. Yue Wumu once said that civil officials do not love money, and military officials are not afraid of death, so they can reorganize the rivers and mountains, which shows that the civil and military have their own responsibilities and rules. Behind the glamorous military attache is a bloody battlefield, just like the British duke, if it were not for the pioneer Rong Guogong who died in the battle to save the driver, the British duke himself won a complete victory in the four expeditions. It wouldn't be where it is today. In the past, Qiu Funai was the first of the heroes of the Jing Dynasty. But in the end, the Northern Expedition was defeated, and it was finally defeated. Therefore, the high and the low are impermanent. As long as the favored person has a normal mind, then everything will be fine. ”

"He is young, but he dares to say it!" Yang Rong smiled when he heard this, but there was a bit of praise in his heart, "Although the British Duke is calm and humble, only his two brothers and nephews are too disagreeable. If he doesn't succeed one as soon as possible, I'm afraid that this great court will fall quickly in the future! By the way, can you participate in the Metaverse Festival in this Beijing examination? ”

"I told him that even if his name falls to Sun Mountain, it is not bad to participate once. His fame is obtained for no reason, and if he is a jinshi, he can't take the exam by himself, which will not be beneficial to the future. ”

Seeing Du Zhen put on this teacher's style, Yang Rong immediately laughed. After laughing, seeing that the palace gate was in front of him, and the family carriage was waiting there, he suddenly moved in his heart, so he squeezed his eyes and said: "I heard that your lady loves Yuan Jie very much, as if she has the intention of making him a son-in-law." If you really have this idea, you have to be careful, it is said that the Meng family intends to marry the Zhang family again, but people have a good eye on the Yuan Festival. Well, speaking of which, the emperor has seen him twice, for the sake of the British public, maybe one of them will be happy, and he will be allowed a royal granddaughter, you can be careful, don't let your son-in-law be snatched away! ”

Rao is Du Zhen has always been moody, and when he heard this, the expression on his face suddenly froze. Seeing Yang Rong walking out of the palace gate and getting into the car, he couldn't help frowning and pondering while still staying in place.

He has never considered his daughter's marriage, let alone thought about matching that couple, but if his wife has that plan, he has no intention of stopping it. The question is, how could Yang Rong know about this? Also, are the two possibilities that Yang Rong said later really true? Because of Yang Rong's casual words, Du Zhen, who had always been calm and indifferent, suddenly fell into trouble.

The families of Yang Rong, Hu Guang and others had arrived in Beijing a year ago, but Du Zhen was not busy picking up his family members, and it was not until he got a house before the first month that he sent his family members to Nanjing to report the news.

Zhu Di has always been good at appointing civil officials, but he is inevitably suspicious, knowing that Du Zhen is from Jiangnan, but he is not in love with the housing industry in Jiangnan, and there is only a trace of mustard and no trace. After all, Du Zhen was degraded as early as the beginning of the Jingjing, and the reason was because of the impeachment of Huang Zicheng and others in the above table for vain revoking the feudal domain, and later wandering outside for more than ten years like a traveling scholar. But it can't get along with Jianwen's remnants.

Because he likes Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson of the emperor, as long as he has nothing to do after reading, Zhu Di will take him with him, even if it is a review and a review, let him watch it by the side. At this time, Zhu Zhanji saw Du Zhen's recital clearly beside him, and when he saw Zhu Di smiling, he couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa Huang, now that Hu Guang is seriously ill, since you value this person." Why didn't you summon him to the cabinet? ”

"Not everyone is suitable for the Cabinet." Zhu Di approved a quasi-word on the fold, and put it aside casually, then turned his head to look at the eldest grandson, "Du Zhen is different from Yang Rong and others, they went out to greet each other when they broke through Nanjing, although there is speculation, but it also shows that they know how to advance and retreat, as for Du Zhen...... This person is a little stubborn. However, the ability to learn is not bad, and it is naturally a bit condescending to be used as an attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and I am ready to let him go after a while, and he can be used as an official of the six departments in the future. ”

Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized, and his face showed admiration. I also respectfully asked some questions. He wanted to mention that he was still in the Jinyi Guard's prison, but after thinking about it, he held back. Seeing Zhu Di's tired face, he quietly retreated and left, and then left Gyeongbokgung Palace and went down the steps. But I saw a few maids over there walking around one person.

"Aunt Ning!"

When Lord Chen Liujun saw Zhu Zhanji, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and after standing up, he asked with a smile: "The imperial grandson came out of Gyeongbokgung Palace, but he was listening to the emperor's teachings just now?" No wonder every time I see the imperial uncle, I am full of praise when I mention your imperial uncle, only this diligence, none of the children of the royal family can match you. ”

Zhu Ning and Zhu Zhanji, the lords of Chenliu County, are nominally aunts and nephews, but they have to talk about their age. Zhu Zhanji is two years older than Zhu Ning. Since Zhu Ning would stay in Beijing for a few more months every time he met with King Zhou, the two had always been familiar with each other. Hearing Zhu Ning say this at this time, Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Aunt Ning, aren't you afraid that I will get carried away if you say this?" By the way, it's getting late, where are you going? ”

"Aren't you going to Meng's house yet?" Zhu Ning smiled heartily, "The emperor is not worried that Young Master Yao will stay in Nanjing, he was worried about the fatigue of the journey on the road before, and now he plans to send an official ship to pick him up." I've met Young Master Yao twice. So I made a little temperament and asked the emperor to bring a friend in my boudoir. By the way, he recommended Meng Xian to go on such a trip. ”

Zhu Zhanji was also taught by Daoyan in his early years, and he also heard about this matter. As for who Zhu Ning's close friend is, he naturally doesn't want to ask. Thinking that his father Zhu Gaochi was in charge of the country in Nanjing, but one of his arms was cut off by his grandfather, Liang Qian still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and his brows gradually locked together.

Although Zhu Ning has been raised as a boy since he was a child, he has a straightforward personality, but he was born in the royal family, and he is naturally good at observing words and feelings. Seeing that Zhu Zhanji seemed to be a little distracted, she only frowned and guessed a few points. It's just that she is a woman, and although she knows some things, although she doesn't think so, she can't say anything.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Zhanji finally drove his entourage away, and turned Zhu Ning's maid away with another look, because he asked: "Aunt Ning, you are the most attendant by the emperor's side now, do you know what Lord Liang's case says?" ”

"This national event ......" Zhu Ning spit out five words, seeing that Zhu Zhanji's face was not good, she had to ponder for a while, until she decided that those things could be said, then she said in a low voice, "In the headless case a few months ago, someone took advantage of the Liang Qian's case to sue Jinyiwei about the British court nephew Zhang Yue, and as a result, when Yuan Commander mentioned it to the imperial uncle, the imperial uncle was immediately annoyed and ordered a thorough investigation. Although there is no result in that matter so far, since Zhang Yue is fine, as long as someone intercedes with Lord Liang, there should always be a turnaround. ”

Although Zhu Zhanji had heard of that incident, he didn't know as carefully as Zhu Ning, and at this time he breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help but say: "But someone sued Zhou Mian for being rude!" ”

"Zhou Mian is Zhou Mian, Liang Qian is Liang Qian, the imperial grandson can't intercede for Liang Qian, this can always be entrusted to others, right?"
