Chapter 296: Written by Order, Husband and Wife Refer to the Details

Zhu Di is not a tolerant son of heaven, but compared to his father Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu, he is extremely tolerant at least in treating heroes. Since he ascended the throne, many of those who have been crowned princes and uncles have also been corrupt or offended because of him, and occasionally they have been imprisoned or belittled from afar, but most of them have not long been reinstated by a will, and they are still favored.

However, civil officials can't be compared with heroes in this regard, especially assisting the East Palace is even more drudgery, not to mention the brocade clothes and prisons, and life and death are only in the thought of the Son of Heaven. Naturally, exceptions are not absent.

When Nanjing was first conquered, many of Jianwen's former ministers served in the new dynasty, and many people were martyred in the case of Fang Xiaoru and others, but more people chose to retire to the countryside and not go out. Although Zhu Di has also called some, he is not as tough as Zhu Yuanzhang when he recruited Jiangnan scribes, and he does not force others to come if they don't come, so Du Zhen has been hiding for more than ten years before he has not affected his family. Now it is the seventeenth year of Yongle, even the old ministers who are nostalgic for the old dynasty know that everything is settled, even if they still abide by the courtiers of Zhu Yunwen, the Jianwen Emperor, but most of them can't help their descendants to test their merits.

Nowadays, for those who hope for the career of Qingyun Road, the scientific examination will have to wait for another two years, but the provincial recommendations in front of them are even more tempting. After the previous round of outspokenness, Zhu Di ordered the provincial political departments to recommend cloth cloth talents who were over 40 years old and proficient in economic and historical affairs to go to Beijing for the examination, so as to prepare for promotion as provincial officials. As soon as the decree shook the government and the opposition, everyone was discussing the matter, and the edict just issued a few days ago was gradually ignored.

Du Zhen is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

From the second grade, once he returned to the dynasty, he was either in charge of the capital procuratorate or entered the sixth ministry as a court official, if from this point of view, from the right political envoy of the second rank was directly reduced to a bachelor from the fifth rank of the Hanlin servant, which is naturally derogatory. However, everyone who knows knows that Du Zhen was a bachelor from the Wupin Hanlin Academy before, and the promotion of the political envoy was originally a super-migration, and now the so-called derogation is just to replace a reading word with a speaking word, which is equivalent to going around in a circle and reinstating the official, not so much derogatory, but rather a saint's grace.

On this day, Zhu Di, who moved to Renshou Palace, listened to several ministers report on political affairs as usual, and just as he was about to end, a little eunuch suddenly came in from the side door and stood beside him. When Yang Rongjin Youzi and the others retreated, he took two steps forward, took out an object from his sleeve, knelt on the ground and presented it with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue has a book to submit to the General Administration. ”

"Zhang Yue? Sent again? ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered Du Zhen, who had just been reinstated at the Hanlin Academy two days ago and drafted an edict for himself. Thinking that the cold-faced man was still as easy to use as ever, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "I didn't expect that he could still send books again and again when he was a newlywed Yan'er, and he still knew his duties." If he has no ambition, I will simply order him to be free! Present it to me and see what he writes this time. ”

In the face of this self-talk, no one in the main hall dared to say anything, and the little eunuch hurriedly stood up when he heard this, but he bowed down and stepped forward, respectfully presented the things to the imperial case, and then quietly retreated. Taking advantage of Zhu Di's downward reading of the book, the two eunuchs waiting on the left and right exchanged glances, and then lowered their heads.

"The son said: 'Wealth and nobility are what people want, and they do not get it by their way, and they do not go anywhere; Poverty and cheapness are the evil of people, and if they don't get it by their way, they don't go. A gentleman goes to benevolence, and he becomes famous? The gentleman has no end of food, and the time must be so, and the upheaval must be so. Because the saying goes: A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. But what is the way to get rich? State-owned taxes, eight or nine times out of ten, are taken from agriculture, this common way is also, but the proportion of peasants in the world is geometric, and the proportion of non-peasants is ......"

Seeing such words, Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Asking Zhang Yue to read "The Analects" is just a casual remark, but this guy actually concocted many flowery articles again and again, which is somewhat interesting. Because the throne was empty and unreliable, he simply stood up, took the book and went straight to the apse, but sat down on a Taishi chair with a woven gold chair, and slowly looked at it with his head on his pillow. At first, he was a little joking, but when he looked at it, he gradually put away his smile, and thoughtfully tapped his fingers on the armrest next to him.

Because Sun was worried about her husband and daughter who stayed in Nanjing, although Zhang Yue had only been married for half a month, she began to pack up and prepare to go back. Therefore, early in the morning, he sent the book to the General Administration Department, and Zhang Yue remembered that his mother would go to Tongzhou Wharf to take a boat in the afternoon, so he hurried home. Dismounted at the gate of the west corner, and threw the reins to a porter who greeted him, he hurried into the door in three steps and two steps. All the way to the West Courtyard, he pounced, and learned that Sun was there, so he hurriedly rushed over again.

"Mother, are your things ready?"

Sun was holding Du Juan's hand and instructing, when he heard this at first glance, he quickly turned his head, and saw that it was Zhang Yue who entered the door before he smiled and said: "It's just some daily clothes, there are only three boxes in total, and they have already been sorted out." There are many rules and personnel in this mansion, you can take good care of your daughter-in-law, don't let her be calculated. While you don't have to take care of things now, you can also accompany her more. ”

Du Juan was originally worried about her mother-in-law's temper, and after getting along with Sun for half a month, she was glad that she had met a good-natured mother-in-law. As for him, he doesn't really care about things, and he discussed an article with me yesterday......"

"Okay, well, I know that after you get married, you will naturally be a husband and wife." The more Sun looked at the little couple at this time, the more happy he became, and he couldn't help but reach out and pull Zhang Yue and Du Juan's hands together, "Now that my master and I are not here, everything depends on the two of you." All in all, live a good life and give me a big fat boy as soon as possible! ”

Zhang Yue saw that Du Juan was still a little blushing, and couldn't help but snicker in his heart, and was about to make a perfunctory of Sun's old routine first, when a crisp voice sounded outside: "What the third wife said is that maybe you will come back from Nanjing next time, and that is the time to hold your grandson!" No, today there was a ginkgo cake steamed in the kitchen, and the old lady immediately ordered the slave to send it over. ”

As he spoke, the three people in the room saw Bai Fang come in with the curtain open, and there was a box in his hand. When Sun heard this good lip service, he naturally smiled, hurriedly took the box and put it on the kang table, and lifted the lid again. Without her to say more, Zhang Yue quickly took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, then clapped his hands with a smile and said, "I've eaten it all, and I'll have more children and grandchildren in the future, right?" Bai Fang, go back and tell the old lady, I will go to thank you when I turn around, and mother, you should also hurry back to the room to prepare, don't leave anything behind. ”

Sun glanced at Du Juan meaningfully, showed a clear expression again, and hurriedly called Bai Fang to go together, appreciating the girl who avoided at the three critical moments. After going out, seeing that her son and daughter-in-law were going to send it again, she had to drive people back, and only turned around when the pink satin curtain fell gently.

"Third wife, this time I want to congratulate you, now the whole family is praising it, the third grandmother is not only good-looking, but also rare is a good temperament, even the eldest grandmother who has always been praised by the old lady has been compared."

"That's just flattery from others, she's still young, where can she compare to Brother Chao's daughter-in-law?"

That being said, Sun was extremely proud in his heart. Although her son is good at her own family, and her daughter-in-law is strong at others, she likes her daughter-in-law more and more in the past few days, and she looks at Gu's as if she also loves Du Juan, so this time she will rest assured that she will leave in the morning. After all, the son's side is stable, but who knows if there will be any demon moths in the husband's place?

Zhang Yue naturally didn't know that his mother was satisfied with her daughter-in-law, and she was worried about her father's situation, so when she returned to the kang and sat down, he discussed the article he had just submitted with Du Juan, and laughed at the doubts of the officials of the General Political Department: "There are about a few people in the whole city of Beijing. Fortunately, you helped to read the polish again yesterday, otherwise it would not be in vain if you forgot to avoid that word? ”

remembered that yesterday I originally went to the study to deliver snacks, but Zhang Yue pulled me to read the article for polishing, Du Juan couldn't help but laugh. On the first day after marriage, she said that she had a meeting gift, but she also had to give out a lot of embroidery work, but at that time she was very weak - except for a few simple things, the rest were all done by Chunying and a few girls, but fortunately no one was embarrassed. I originally planned to practice well after marriage, but today the old lady asked me to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and tomorrow my sister-in-law asked me to look at the account book.

But now is not the time to think about that. Du Juan has been at home with his mother since he was a child, because of the situation of the family at that time, he also managed the production of fields, but he knows some folk situations, and as for some people who don't understand, he also has Zhang Yue to explain them one by one. However, she was still a little worried about the article that her husband had just submitted: "Although the emperor trusts you a lot, but you are still young after all, this reading note involves such a major event, will the emperor blame him?" ”

"If I have nothing to do, the emperor will be unhappy." Zhang Yue said as he pulled Du Juan into the inner room on the west side, and asked him to sit down at the desk, and then took out another book as if he was juggling, "Since I am reading the Analects by order, wouldn't it be boring if I was as old-fashioned as others, and I always had some new tricks." Plus today's one, I have already sent three copies in total, there is a way to moisturize things silently, presumably the emperor should be moved. The good wife's family history, help me see if there is anything wrong with my choice of words and sentences? ”

You say it's a good wife, can you refuse this? Du Juan glanced at Zhang Yue, but finally opened it seriously to take a look. The family affairs of this mansion are controlled by the Dongfang family, she can't intervene and doesn't want to interfere, if she can help Zhang Yue, it is naturally the best.
