Zhu Fu felt that he had lost his face at his grandma's house.
Is this son eating the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard? He is drunk and talking in his sleep? Please advise your father to be more open-minded.
Isn’t it shameful that you, a junior, should be used to teach me?
"Zhijie, what happened to your second wife? As soon as I came back, I heard from your grandmother that you actually divorced your wife?"
After all, Zhu Fu is a father, and he still needs dignity in front of his son.
Regarding the topic of being a student for my son, I won’t talk about it if I can.
Zhu Feng said disappointedly: "I am very good to Tong'er, but she felt that she had suffered too much in the Zhu family and received a lot of looks. Then she said she wanted to divorce. I respect her decision."
"You, even if you reconcile, you should divorce her!"
Zhu Fu seemed to have no objection to his son's divorce from Ning Tong, but he was still more concerned about whether he should divorce his wife or reconcile.
"But that's good, at least others won't say her morals are lacking."
"Huh?" Zhu Feng was startled.
After all, the father is the head of the family, and he still has responsibilities. This is for the sake of the woman's reputation. How else can the father be the head of the family?
"Then where is your wife...the daughter of the Ning family now?" Zhu Fu asked.
"After she moved out, she couldn't go back to Ning's house, so I found a place for her to live," Zhu Feng said.
"You!" Zhu Fu looked at his son with a look of hatred, "You and the Ning family daughter are not the same family, so what's the point of finding a place for her to live? You shouldn't care about it anymore."
Zhu Feng was obviously very affectionate. He shook his head and said, "I'm going to be with Tong'er and his wife anyway. Are we going to ignore her while she lives on the street?"
"Hiss...are you short-sighted? She is desperate, wouldn't she find someone to take refuge with? There must be a road for the car to reach the mountain, and it will be natural for the boat to reach the bridge... Didn't that Mr. Zhang ever ask about this matter?"
Zhu Fu followed suit and his eyes became even more eager.
This seems to be his concern.
Zhu Feng stood there and shook his head like a stupid man: "Brother Zhang said this is my family matter and I don't want to ask any more questions. He also said that even if we are not husband and wife, he will treat us as friends."
"you!"
Zhu Fu was so angry that his teeth itched, and he didn't know whether he wanted to hit someone or slam the table when he raised his hand. Finally, he put it down and said, "My son, you didn't understand what your grandmother meant, did you?"
Zhu Feng said: "I understand, although grandma didn't say it clearly, what I understand is that grandma thinks there is something between Tong'er and Brother Zhang, and wants Tong'er to go directly to Zhang's house after leaving Zhu's house. Otherwise, why would grandma say that Tong'er
You are not allowed to marry anyone in the future, except with Brother Zhang?"
"..."
Only then did Zhu Fu realize that his son was not a fool.
It feels like the son thinks his father is a fool.
"Then you are still stubborn? What will my father say to you? I just thought you were a little enlightened, and now you are so useless? Don't you know how you behave like a grandma? If you can't be a real husband and wife with someone, don't delay
It is a life-long event for a woman. She is a married woman anyway. How can she be humiliated by going to the Zhang Mansion to be a concubine?"
After Zhu Feng heard these words, it was his son's turn to be speechless.
Is what my father said humanly?
Duke Cheng Guo of the Ming Dynasty actually asked his son to reconcile with his daughter-in-law, and then gave her daughter-in-law to a powerful man as a concubine?
Isn't it embarrassing?
Obviously Zhu Feng didn't know that his old father had no bottom line when it came to currying favor with the powerful.
"What?" Zhu Fu glared at his son, "Do you think you have done something wrong as a father?"
"No...no..." Zhu Feng thought so in her heart, but did not dare to say it directly.
Zhu Fu said: "Think about Marquis Weining, who was the Minister of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning and had all the power in the government and the public. When he saw Wang Zhi who was in power at the beginning, why didn't he support him like an ancestor? Even if he was convicted in the future, he still flatters Mr. Zhang now.
, Granddaughter sent it to her as she said, did she ever think about her personal honor and disgrace?"
Zhu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Father, our family seems to be... different, right?"
"Hmph! What's the difference? You have to remember that the civil servants in this court are always trying to suppress us and make us try to cling to them. That's impossible. It's up to you to slap your face in front of others! But if His Majesty comes in front of you,
If a close minister is as capable as Mr. Zhang, it will be different." Zhu Fu was still educating his son.
But to Zhu Feng's ears, it was all a bunch of nonsense.
Zhu Fu said coldly: "Didn't you become a marquis by clinging to Mr. Zhang?"
"Well, yes." Zhu Feng did not deny it, "But father and son will not hinder Tong'er from pursuing happiness. But when I told Tong'er, Tong'er scolded me and said that I sold my wife for glory.
!”
"Er told Brother Zhang again, but he didn't want it either. It's not that Er didn't want to help them. Is there some misunderstanding? Grandma just heard some rumors and insisted that there was something between them... based on Er's understanding.
, they didn’t have much contact at all, they just gave me a book.”
Zhu Feng is not a fool either.
I'm on an expedition, can't my wife at home look down on her?
If there really was something between Ning Tong and Zhang Zhou, he would have known about it a long time ago, and now he has really tried it. If there is nothing, it seems that there is really nothing.
At least he couldn't see any signs of it.
Zhu Fu said: "Then you can no longer care about the Ning family's affairs."
Zhu Feng asked: "Where can I tell the Ning family so that Tong'er can get married on her own?"
"No!" Zhu Fu replied simply, "It's not because of her father that she's causing trouble, it's because of your grandmother's wishes. You must keep your elders' instructions in mind! Don't you understand filial piety?"
Zhu Feng's heart pounded after hearing this.
What kind of father is this? He is a coward and yet he blames the old lady for it? How shameful.
Don't say you're my dad when you go out.
Zhu Fu saw that he could no longer hold on to his dignity, and said coldly: "I'll tell you a marriage to a famous nobleman in the capital later, and I won't think twice about a small family in the future! You are also the Marquis of Anbian now, and you are a young man who has achieved great success.
At that time, your talents, appearance and character are both excellent, and are even more appreciated by His Majesty. When the news spreads that you are going to remarry, there will definitely be an endless stream of people coming to ask for your hand in marriage!"
Zhu Feng looked embarrassed: "Father, do you want to harm others?"
"Asshole! Having an heir to the Zhu family is more important than anything else! Even if you no longer despise women, you still have to continue the Zhu family's legacy! Do you want An Bian Hou to end in your generation?"
Zhu Fu looked furious, but his momentum was still insufficient.
He did not lie. In the Ming Dynasty, marquises and earls did not say that if you had no sons, you could directly solve the problem through adoption or passing it on to a side branch. Many titles were not passed down due to the problem of having no heirs.
This is a reminder to Zhu Feng.
You don’t have to have a married life, but you must have children!
…
…
"What do you mean? Do you still want me to give you a son?"
When Zhu Feng went to visit Ning Tong, it was in the name of seeing how Ning Tong was doing, but in fact he just went there to find a friend to complain to.
As a result, Ning Tong almost spat on her face.
This stinky and shameless man is what my aunt has seen today.
Zhu Feng hurriedly defended: "No, no, Tong'er, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
"Who are you? Why do you call me by my maiden name? I let you in today because of your support. Don't you be ignorant!" Ning Tong was full of momentum.
It seems that Zhu Feng is the freeloader and she is the big benefactor.
Zhu Feng said: "Father just told me that no matter what, I still have to marry secondly. Someone has to take your place, but having children... is too difficult."
"snort!"
Ning Tong rolled her eyes, "Can't you just ask your eldest brother to adopt a son for you?"
Zhu Feng said with a sad face: "My eldest brother doesn't have a son either."
"Who's to blame for this? Is it my fault that I can't give birth? Or are you planning to use this to publicize that I violated the seven-out rule?" Ning Tong was very rude.
"no no……"
Zhu Feng originally wanted to come here to comfort him, but in the end...
He was really comforting.
It seemed that after being scolded by Ning Tong, he felt much better. The more he was scolded, the more he liked to come. This was why he cared about Ning Tong so much before.
Because Ning Tong couldn't find the feeling of a couple, but he could find a feeling... that made him feel at ease.
Ning Tong's unreasonable and unforgiving aura was both fueled by him and favored by him.
Then……
Ning Tong became a bitter woman.
"If you want a son, go with Zhang Bingkuan, and it will be the same if he adopts a son for you!" Ning Tong said sarcastically.
"Haha, Tong'er... Miss Ning, don't make fun of me. I don't mind, but I'm afraid that Brother Zhang won't be able to accept it. Besides, how can a noble family accept such an adoptive person with a different surname? You should be a member of the public.
Where is your son?"
Zhu Feng also knew that having a son was too far away.
He doesn't even have a daughter-in-law yet. If he is given a wife now, he will treat her the same way as Ning Tong. He even only thinks that Ning Tong is suitable to be his wife.
At least there was no mercy when scolding him.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be able to adapt to that way of getting along.
…
…
Cheng Min Government.
Cheng Minzheng painstakingly studied the two pamphlets given to him by Zhang Zhou at home and read a large number of books.
When Wang Hao came to visit his house that day, he followed the old servant of the Cheng family to Cheng Minzheng's study. When he saw that the study was full of messy but vaguely organized books, Wang Hao couldn't help but frown.
"Keqin..." Wang Hao called out.
Cheng Minzheng didn't even hear it. He continued to flip through the books like a bookworm, muttering: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
The old servant said: "Sister Wang, please forgive me, but my master won't let him touch these books. Why don't you find a place and sit down first?"
Wang Hao probably understood that even if Cheng Minzheng's study was messy, at least the books on the floor were classified by Cheng Minzheng and placed according to certain rules, making it easier for Cheng Minzheng to check them at any time.
When the old servant left, Wang Hao specifically stated that there was no need to serve tea.
He was sitting on a chair nearby.
"Jizhi, I'm sorry for not greeting you well!"
Cheng Minzheng said something without raising his head.
This made Wang Hao know that Cheng Minzheng had actually noticed his arrival for a long time, but Cheng Minzheng was busy checking books and had no time to pay attention to him.
Wang Hao said: "Brother Keqin, do you need my help?"
"No, I'm fine with just these few books." Cheng Minzheng looked like he was doing everything by himself.
Wang Hao frowned.
Are there only a few books here?
Cheng Minzheng looked through it for a while, and finally seemed to be discouraged. He stood up and walked to Wang Hao. He also sat down and said dejectedly: "It's a pity that we are not in Hanyuan now. I have no right to read the clan records. There are so many people who have compiled "
The reference books prepared for "Hui Dian" cannot be seen either..."
Wang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Keqin, why are you like this?"
Cheng Minzheng then handed Wang Hao the two pamphlets Zhang Zhou had given him.
Wang Hao took it over and read it. After all, he had also compiled the "Da Ming Huidian" and probably knew the value of these two pamphlets.
Cheng Minzheng said: "I feel that the detailed summary of the "Huidian" related to clan affairs by Zhang Shishuo has gone beyond what was summarized in previous classics. As for the rest, what he compiled is all
It's a difficult point. I have studied several issues before but failed to get any results. It turns out that Jiefu knows a lot about this. If he were here..."
Cheng Minzheng couldn't help but think of Yang Tinghe.
In the Hanlin Academy, Yang Tinghe was mainly responsible for compiling the "Daming Huidian". Previously, he was Cheng Minzheng's right-hand man in compiling the book.
After Cheng Minzheng left, Yang Tinghe took the lead in most matters. It was precisely because of Yang Tinghe's achievements in compiling books that Liu Jian and others believed that he had the potential to become a Hanlin bachelor. Since the emperor wanted to promote another Hanlin bachelor, why not let Yang Tinghe
As a Hanlin scholar, he was responsible for compiling the "Da Ming Huidian"?
But then we encountered the problem of different candidates for Hanlin scholars being recommended by civil servants and the emperor.
Wang Hao, who was in charge of teaching, took over.
Yang Tinghe went back to his hometown to visit relatives.
Wang Hao asked: "Have you read the complete book compiled by Bingkuan?"
"No." Cheng Minzheng said, "But just by looking at the things he compiled, I know that he has basically finished it, because even if I don't have to study some of them, I know that he is right. Regarding the citation of scriptures, he listed them
In fact, it is very detailed, but where to find some books... that is the problem. Byung Kuan has actually read them... How much talent does he have in his heart?"
"Haha." Wang Hao continued to smile bitterly.
Cheng Minzheng glanced at Wang Hao and said with admiration: "Jizhi, before I thought you were wrong when you chose Jieyuan who has the tendency of an alchemist! But now I feel that the person with the most discerning eye for pearls is
You, Wang Jizhi, are the right ones. No wonder His Majesty appreciates you so much."
Originally, Wang Hao was a little embarrassed when he came.
This happened when the current Hanlin Minister came to see the former Hanlin Minister. Even though Cheng Minzheng's project had nothing to do with him, Wang Hao, Wang Hao still found it difficult to communicate with Cheng Minzheng.
But who knew that Cheng Minzheng didn't mind at all and instead came to praise him for his outstanding vision.
Cheng Minzheng sighed: "Shi Zhang said that as long as I can change the words above, I can give him a generous gift. If I want to change a few words casually, that's fine, but it won't be of much help to the writing. There's nothing I can do."
"Keqin, your talent is unmatched by anyone in the palace. Why do you praise a young scholar like this?"
Wang Hao didn't want to see Cheng Minzheng belittle himself so much.
Cheng Minzheng smiled and said: "You can't accept the old man. I understand what you mean by coming. If you want me to give an evaluation of the "Huidian" compiled by Bingkuan, it is... a comprehensive work. As for who is helping him behind the scenes,
Or if there is someone to help him, I won’t go into it! I won’t have anything to do with the court from now on.”
Wang Hao only regarded this as an excuse for Cheng Minzheng to completely sever ties with the court.
"Jizhi, if you go to see Liu Gelao and Binzhi, remember to tell them not to have too many grudges against Zhang Shituo. He is the hope of the Ming Dynasty in the future." Cheng Minzheng seemed to have high hopes for Zhang Zhou.
Wang Hao shook his head and said: "I'm not mainly here to ask you this. Before you were in Hanyuan, there were a few things that you didn't finish, and I need to talk to you..."
Wang Hao is very knowledgeable.
Even if he clearly wanted to investigate the compilation of Zhang Zhou's "Da Ming Huidian" from Cheng Minzheng, he didn't say clearly.
In a high position, Wang Hao is more dignified than Cheng Minzheng in his work, and his personality is not as flamboyant as Cheng Minzheng.
…
…
Ning Tong sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Zhou, and the person who delivered the letter was Zhu Feng.
He made an appointment with Zhang Zhou on a day when he was out of the city to perform artillery. After entering the city, they met at a teahouse in the city and told him not to take Zhu Feng with him.
"Zhijie, what does this mean?" Zhang Zhou asked.
Zhang Zhou wanted to say, do you want to be a "senior" and pave the way for your ex-wife and "juniors"?
Zhu Feng shook his head: "Miss Ning said that she has something to do with business. She wants to talk to you. She wants to be independent in the future, but she refuses to say how. By the way, Brother Zhang, my father asked me to marry and have children. This matter
You see..."
Zhang Zhou patted Zhu Feng on the shoulder: "Know the rules and work harder!"
There is no need to say any unnecessary words.
Let Zhu Feng realize it slowly by himself.
…
…
In the Hanlin Academy, Xie Qian came to visit and specially called Liang Chu and Wang Hao, who were currently in charge of editing books, to ask for their opinions.
Liang Chu probably told Xie Qian, and Xie Qian found that there was no big difference from what the cabinet knew before, so he let Liang Chu go back to work first.
"how?"
Xie Qian looked at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao said: "Keqin has only seen the two books listed for him by Bingkuan, both of which were difficult problems encountered in the compilation of "Huidian". Keqin searched the books for many days... and thought hard to no avail."
Xie Qian smiled and said: "How can those problems be so easy to solve?"
I was thinking to myself, I thought Zhang Bingkuan was so awesome, but it turns out that when I encounter difficulties, I turn to Cheng Minzheng, the former "Deputy Chief Editor" for help.
Wang Hao shook his head and said: "Yu Qiao, you may have misunderstood. I mean, Bingkuan has actually annotated all these difficult problems. It's just that Keqin looked through the classics and found that there were some things that he couldn't delete. Some... even he couldn't
I went to seek confirmation and said that I had not had the opportunity to go into Hanyuan again and look through the classics that I had prepared for revision."
"ah?"
Xie Qian's arms were numb now.
"What about the whole book? Keqin hasn't read the whole book?" Xie Qian asked.
Wang Hao continued to shake his head: "I have never seen it, but with Keqin's analysis, since Bingkuan can find out the difficulties in the revision of "Huidian" and annotate the revision one by one, there should not be any major omissions in the rest of it. But
As for the specifics, we may have to wait until the original manuscript is sent to the Hanlin Academy, and then send a large number of people to verify it."
Xie Qian waved his hand and said: "If all the original books are sent and the book is completed, it may be a matter of one sentence from His Majesty. If research proves that there are problems, the credit for the revision of the book will be almost entirely attributed to Zhang Bingkuan."
Wang Hao said: "Then Mr. Xie Ge..."
Xie Qian said with a look of sorrow on his face: "I finally understand that Zhang Bingkuan could have completed the book by himself without making a move, but he leaked the book in advance. This was not a bluff, but actually wanted to convince us.
"
"He wants us to go to him and discuss jointly revising the book... to spread the credit thinly... it will not only show that he is capable, but also force us to have to obey him on important matters such as revising the book."
