During this year's festival, I am afraid that the most common words heard by the servants in various mansions are my master's curses on Zhu Tianjiang. All the officials in the capital are going crazy.
Da Niu led a group of people, like bandits, to go to various mansions to ask for money. Ordinarily, since it is alms, it is their business to give more or less. Who would have thought, giving less would not be enough, less than five thousand taels would not work for Da Niu
I don't want to. You have to know that houses are not valuable these days. You can buy a nice house for ten thousand taels. Good guy, isn't this blackmailing?
When encountering a stubborn person, Daniel was not in a hurry. He just asked the official of the Security Procuratorate to paste a blank couplet on the door of the house. The first couplet said, "I was ordered by the emperor to reach out for money," and the second couplet said, "Stingy people are not good."
Die', Hengbiao 'give me the money quickly'.
The Security Procuratorate is well-known in the capital as bad officials who can fight. These people dare not fight. If they don't fight, they will put up this white couplet. If you take it off here and stick it on the other, it's a big deal.
They looked so frustrated. In desperation, these courtiers could only grit their teeth and take out the money. Of course, it also depends on what kind of officials they are. As for important ministers like Wang Bingkun and Chu Yun, Da Niu simply didn't ask for them.
The incident reached Prince Jing's ears, and the old prince said to himself that his son-in-law was going crazy. After such an incident, no matter what happened to him in the future, who would still stand up to support Zhu Tianjiang.
In fact, King Jing wronged Zhu Tianjiang this time. These things were all caused by Yelu Douha. Zhu Tianjiang was so busy in the house that he had no time to take care of these small things. You must know that the Ministry of War will be held in spring after the festival.
After the adjustment, many military generals learned about this and came to Guo Tianxin to discuss what to do. However, Guo Tianxin was forced into unconsciousness by Zhu Yi and others, and these people could only discuss with Zhu Tianjiang.
Military generals are different from civilian officials. No matter what position civilian officials are adjusted to, it doesn't matter to them as long as their official rank is not reduced. But military generals are different. Once they lose military power, their status will plummet. After all, Xiang Guo Tianxin and Chu Yun
There are very few people with such prestige. Even if Guo Tianxin loses military power, his right to speak in the military is still alive.
Zhu Tianjiang was sitting at the table. In his hand was a list of generals serving in the army. Looking at the list, Zhu Tianjiang drew circles on the names of several key figures.
"Sir, I'm afraid Li Hongshangshu doesn't have the right to decide on the candidates this time. I think you are wasting your efforts." Zhu Er shook his head and said.
"Sir Li Hong does not have the ability to influence Emperor Cheng Wu's will, but if there is one person, Emperor Cheng Wu still has to weigh it." Zhu Tianjiang said, folding up the list.
"You mean ~Prince Jing?" Zhu Er immediately guessed what Zhu Tianjiang meant.
"Yes, it's King Jing. Emperor Chengwu began to pave the way for Xuanle. Even though he didn't trust Li Hong, Emperor Chengwu trusted King Jing very much. If I'm not wrong, Emperor Chengwu will definitely cooperate with King Jing Xuanle
Discuss these candidates. As long as Prince Jing is willing to help, there will definitely be no problem with these people."
"Sir, I still think this is unnecessary. Since you are planning to leave the capital after the wedding, why are you still meddling in these nosy things? Maybe these people will raise their spears against us in the future." Xia Qing said disdainfully.
said.
"Although that is said, we still have to help when we should help. Think about it, if these people have military power in their hands, even if we leave the capital, as long as these people can help and say a few good words, Emperor Chengwu will not
Dare you do anything to us? After all, I just resigned and did not hold high the banner of rebellion. Emperor Chengwu would be more concerned about the mood of the army. Once they lose military power, the weight of their words will be light.
Without the restraint of these people, Emperor Cheng Wu will send people to capture me when he gives the order. At that time, we can only embark on the path of confrontation. Therefore, ensuring the interests of these people will not harm us at all.
." Zhu Tianjiang analyzed it carefully for everyone.
Zhu Yi smiled and said, "Sir, if you want all the ministers to say good things to us, why would you let Daniel offend others?"
Zhu Tianjiang sighed depressedly, "My original intention was to just pick these few companies and blackmail them, but I didn't expect Yelu Douha to be so ruthless. That guy Daniu also has no brains. He just did whatever his wife said, and he actually did it from house to house.
They went door to door to rob money, but I died unjustly."
When he mentioned Daniu, Zhu Er immediately remembered something, "By the way, Sir, there is news from Shutian, saying that Daniu's family members returned to their hometown after walking halfway."
"Why, you didn't come?" Zhu Tianjiang was stunned.
Zhu Er shook his head, "I don't know the reason. It seems that there was an accident on the road and they returned to their hometown again."
"Does Daniel know?" Zhu Tianjiang asked.
"This guy is heartless. I told him, but he couldn't tell me it was just right. He has to go back after spring anyway."
Zhu Tianjiang thought for a while, "That's fine. After the spring starts, we can let Daniel leave the capital early in the name of going home for a wedding. Otherwise, if everyone leaves together, the goal will be too big."
Xia Qing looked at Zhu Tianjiang, thought for a while and said, "Sir, we can't let General Guo get drunk every day. I guess if we make him drink tomorrow, he may not drink again. This is not an option. Besides, look at me
Can you still hold on until your wedding day?"
Zhu Tianjiang pursed his lips and shook his head, "It's hard to say, we can only depend on God's will."
Zhu Tianjiang felt very heavy when he mentioned the old lady. If the old lady really couldn't hold on to the wedding day, he and Guo Ying would have to postpone it for a year according to customs. But in order to comfort Guo Ying, Zhu Tianjiang might even
The marriage of Yu'er and Zhan Ling had to be postponed. In that case, it would be a bit unfair to Zhan Ling. Although Zhan Ling knew that he was from the Zhu family from the day he set foot in the Dafeng Dynasty, there were always
A ceremony will do. If you postpone it for a year, you can't let a girl get married.
In the master bedroom of the Guo Mansion, Guo Tianxin was lying on the bed, staring at the top of the wall. He knew Zhu Tianjiang's little tricks very well. Guo Tianxin had deliberately pretended to be drunk in the past two days, just not wanting to break the thin layer of paper. Lin
Feng's matter was already an open secret in the family, and Guo Tianxin also figured it out. As long as his mother could leave peacefully, he would remain confused.
On the first day of the new year, Guo Tianxin put on a brand-new military uniform with a smile on his face. Perhaps because the festive atmosphere infected the old lady, she looked much better today than in the past.
Everyone in the mansion divided into several groups and came to the backyard. Guo Tianxin was the first to walk into his mother's bedroom and respectfully kowtowed to his mother three New Year greetings. After Guo Tianxin finished saluting, Guo Ying, Zhu Tianjiang and others walked in.
The old lady's room. These complicated etiquette should have been held in the front hall. However, due to the old lady's serious illness, they were held in the back hall.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Guo Tianxin did not drink at all and stayed with his mother in the room. No matter whether the old lady could speak or not, Guo Tianxin never stopped talking. He has been talking since he was a child until now. Mother and son are holding hands.
, it looks very warm, but Guo Tianxin is crying in his heart. He knows that this is the last time to spend the holiday with his mother, so he can stay with her for a while longer.
Zhu Tianjiang came to the flower garden of his master Lin Feng. Looking at this lonely old man, Zhu Tianjiang felt very sad.
"Master, today is the festival, so I have to kowtow to you a few times and wish you good health and happiness."
Zhu Tianjiang said, and kowtowed to Lin Feng three times in a formal manner in the courtyard. Perhaps this was the only sincere kowtow that Zhu Tianjiang received in this world.
"Heaven comes, Ruolin wants you to hold your wedding in advance." Lin Feng suddenly said.
"Why, can the old lady speak now?" Zhu Tianjiang looked at Lin Feng in surprise.
Lin Feng shook his head, "Although I can't speak, I understand what she means. She is afraid that she won't be able to get married, and she doesn't want to leave this regret in her heart."
Zhu Tianjiang felt sad in his heart. Ever since he came to Guo Mansion, the old lady had always taken good care of him. This kind old man could still think about himself at the last moment of his life. Zhu Tianjiang's nose felt a little sore.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Zhu Tianjiang came to Prince Jing's Mansion to pay homage to Prince Jing, Princess Jing and others. Although it was a New Year greeting, Zhu Tianjiang's purpose was to discuss with Prince Jing and advance the wedding.
You must know that according to Dafeng customs, weddings cannot be held in the first month. If Zhu Tianjiang wants the old lady to witness his wedding to Guo Ying, he must first do the work of King Tongjing, and secondly, the step of becoming King Wu.
In this era, the wedding ceremony of the emperor's marriage was not decided by the parties involved. Without the permission of Emperor Chengwu, the wedding date could not be changed at will.
