Chapter eight hundred and sixty-ninth compare the heart to the heart, continue to fool
The sudden separation of the family in the Zhao Guogong Mansion was not deliberately concealed. However, considering that the bride came to the house the next day, it did not cause waves immediately. However, the pomp was not too small. Once the marriage was over, the separation of the family
The news spread. Of course it was not someone from the Zhu family who took the initiative to spread the word, but Weinan Bo Zhang Kang.
And this Uncle Weinan, who had many concubines and concubines, divided his two married sons among his family after he returned, and gave each of them a large amount of wealth. In view of the fact that people are famous for their wealth, and it is said that this is because
The Zhu family split up because of his feelings. Although he did not disclose the specific situation there, the split into four made it clear that there was an undercurrent surging in many families at this time.
Especially those who are father-in-law, all of them absolutely hate what the Zhu family did. They divided the family with their son, and the amount they received was almost the same as that of the son? Why!
Shouldn't it be that I, the father, should enjoy it first, and then the rest should be divided among my sons?
So, seeing Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing sitting at the Ministry of War as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't care at all that the property that should be his own, but more than half of it was taken up by his two sons and one daughter, he couldn't stand it - of course he was afraid that this kind of atmosphere would affect
When someone came to his house, he tactfully mentioned it in front of this person, but was immediately silenced by Zhu Jing's few words.
"I have never cared about how much property, money, and food my family has. Isn't it just enough money?"
Is enough money enough? In the minds of most people, when can money be used? It costs money to keep concubines and maids, to wear silks and satins, to live in luxurious houses and beautiful rooms, to travel with carriages and horses, and to go to those places
It’s easy to spend a lot of money on eating, drinking and having fun... plus those hobbies that often require huge investment, such as collecting books, antiques, weapons, etc., which one is free of money?
He wanted to say that Zhu Jing was hypocritical, but when he thought about it, he immediately became depressed again.
Everyone in the capital knew about Zhu Ying's extravagance. However, Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing was famous for his integrity. In the past, his wife had been practicing in the temple for many years, but he did not have any maids or concubines, and he never had any maids or concubines.
I don't know how to get drunk, my clothes are not luxurious, my house is enough to live in, and I don't even have any special hobbies. Weapons and other things are only gifts from the emperor.
How much expenses does such a person have every year? As long as he has enough money!
After Zhu Jing's words spread, those voices of discussion suddenly disappeared. And when the emperor learned that this was the separation of the family presided over by the Tai Fu, he also felt that the attitude of treating the children and grandchildren equally and not living apart was novel.
Interesting. Of course, when he talked to several courtiers, he also specifically mentioned it, don't learn it if you have nothing to do, because this is not the first time that the Zhu family has been separated.
Earlier, Zhu Jing's brother and his wife also presided over the separation of the family early. They gave them a not insignificant amount of money and a suitable but definitely not high position, and then they separated and lived alone. So far, they have
None of them are willing to return to Beijing. Although the current separation of families without separation is different from the earlier time, the actual meaning is the same.
As for the Queen Mother, after learning about this matter, she specially ordered to summon her two grandsons, nephews and daughters-in-law. After rewarding them with a few things, she told them to pay attention to the physical condition of the Queen Mother at all times, and to send someone to report anything to the palace at any time.
.
Zhang and Wang both heard the implication. It turned out that the Queen Mother was worried that after the separation of the family, Mrs. Tai had a premonition that the end was coming. They had just tried hard not to think in that direction before, but now they couldn't help but hear this.
My heart is heavy.
The two sisters-in-law, one newly married and the other had only been married for a few months, suddenly received a windfall. Even though they were both first-class smart people and had not thought about how to save private money for their small family, they
Naturally, she was grateful to Mrs. Wang. But when she thought that all the expenses of the palace in the future would depend on the salaries of Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang, Mrs. Wang became even more regretful.
Therefore, when she left the Qingning Palace, she tactfully pointed out to her sister-in-law Zhang that this was unfair. However, after Zhang was slightly stunned, she immediately smiled: "Brothers and sisters, although my father-in-law is the Duke of the country,
, he is also the Minister of the Ministry of War, and his salary is very large, and Zhu Lang also holds real power, and his salary in this dynasty is almost as good as that of the Song Dynasty, but when it comes to the family's expenses, it is actually not enough."
The Wang family has also been a family member, so Wei Wei was stunned for a moment and understood.
For an upright official like Wang Jie who behaves simply and never likes to buy property, his salary and expenses are only about the same. For example, for a large family like Zhao Guogong, the food and drink expenses for a month are a very huge number.
The salary of father and son alone is indeed far from enough. So, who is subsidizing it?
Just as Mrs. Wang was thinking this, Mrs. Zhang said softly: "It's very simple, it's all the madam who is paying for the subsidies."
Seeing that the person was stunned on the spot, she said with emotion: "Elders like Mrs. Tai are the most rare in the world. After the separation of the family, she left a fortune for herself, but
It's not that I'm hiding it and intending to give it to someone who likes it a hundred years later, such as our sister-in-law, but I'm taking it out openly and telling me to use it at home."
This time, Mrs. Wang finally had nothing to say. Remembering that after marriage, Zhu Er often nagged about being filial to her grandmother and making up for the bad things she had done in the past years. She said softly: "Grandma is indeed respectable, but she
I'm afraid your illness won't get better in a day or two. Sister-in-law, you have to take care of the house. If possible, you might as well leave it to me to serve your grandmother."
"I also served the elderly when I was a child. Although I don't dare to say anything about medical skills, I have learned medicine prescriptions, moxibustion, medicinal baths, etc. It is better to specialize in a skill than to have no skills at all."
If Mrs. Tai is still holding a large amount of wealth, then Wang's proactive stance may be misinterpreted as inviting favors and seeking profit. But now that Mrs. Tai has presided over the division of the family, all her body and soul have been put into the public house for expenses.
Of course, Mrs. Zhang couldn't think so. And she didn't pretend to be polite to her siblings. She pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Grandma will be very happy if you have this intention. But we can't let you work hard alone. Why don't we divide the family affairs into two, one of us takes one half, and we take care of grandma's affairs with one of us."
The two sisters-in-law discussed that these people who were leading the way were not hidden from the palace, so the Queen Mother in the Qingning Palace quickly got the report. Naturally, the Queen Mother was quite satisfied with their frank attitude. The Zhu family except the Madam now
There was nothing else for her to worry about due to her illness, but it was different here with the emperor.
If she wants to say who makes her worry the most in the world, then the emperor is definitely at the top of the list! But such an uneasy emperor has also encountered a more treacherous incident since the founding of the Ming Dynasty than the dispute between the princes.
She just hoped that there wouldn't really be any drama involving land and water armies attacking across the sea.
We are not afraid of a mere Koryo, but throughout the ages, those small countries in the northeast, from Koryo to Japan, have caused too many big countries to taste the bitter consequences of failure!
A few days later, the official messenger from Goryeo finally arrived belatedly. As expected, he also made a request to take back the Tiger Tiger as his heir. Of course, there was a certificate of credence stamped with the seal of the Cisheng Princess. Calculate the distance and the
By that time, the emperor and his courtiers knew that the messenger who had previously asked about the crime had probably arrived in the capital of Goryeo, but the response was still too early.
However, the courier who was sent to Huitong South Pavilion was not as tired as the previous courier who hurried so slowly that he almost fainted from exhaustion, but he was also very weak. But he still insisted on seeing him as an envoy.
The Councilor Li Cao found out that he actually met him with Zhe Shanjun. This messenger, who was not high in rank but was from the second class, immediately realized something.
The news about the new death of the king of the country was already known here! But he couldn't care so much at this time. After talking in a panic about the encounter with the messenger from the Celestial Dynasty on the way, and the attitude of the other party's words,
He hurriedly asked: "Is it possible that the Heavenly Dynasty knew that the king had passed away, so it refused to let the tiger return to the country and succeed to the throne?"
The expression on Councilor Li Cao's face changed continuously. After Zheshanjun nodded gently, he solemnly told the story that a courier from the country had arrived before. Seeing that the courier in front of him suddenly looked very ugly, he
However, he changed his tone and recounted the huge turmoil surrounding the death of the second prince.
At this moment, the messenger who was not very proficient in Chinese finally turned completely pale. He was thinking about the arrogant attitude of the Celestial messenger he met at a certain post station on the border. It turned out that such a big thing had happened! God knows at home.
For the purpose of conveying the message, I tried my best to get him such a job, but I didn't expect that he missed a lot of information because he didn't understand the language!
Although he was almost exhausted, he still asked cautiously: "Then...what should we do next!"
"There is nothing to do. I will continue to go to the teacher's class." Zheshanjun lowered his eyelids. The hesitation of those first days was no longer on his face. Instead, he revealed a bit of perseverance. Even when he saw the flustered expression of the messenger, he
Then he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, the Ming Emperor has promised to send me off in March, and also promised to give me thirty-five kinds of Confucian scriptures."
He paused and then added: "In addition, there is sutra calculation."
The messenger couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Seeing Tiger had no intention of explaining, but went straight out of the door. He couldn't help but cast his eyes for help on the side of Councilor Li Cao, hoping that the other party could give him a good explanation.
"It's a long story. In short, you only need to know that our future king's teacher is no small matter. He is the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince of China. That's enough."
The messenger originally thought that Zhe Shanjun had entered the Imperial College, and that this so-called teacher was just a teacher from the Imperial College. When he heard that he was actually a teacher from the Prince of the East Palace, he was surprised and happy. But just now he thought that this was the Emperor of Heaven's fault.
Seeing the importance of Zheshanjun, he suddenly remembered the big event he had just learned about, and suddenly he became anxious again.
Is it possible to return to the situation of the Yuan Dynasty, when successive generations of kings all stayed in the capital as if they were hostages, and everything from teaching to deposing was subject to an imperial edict from the Yuan Emperor?
Zheshanjun had no time to pay attention to what the new messenger was thinking. However, as the return date was approaching day by day, he still had no idea what the Ming court wanted to do, so he increasingly hoped to get some clues from Zhang Shou.
The more casual and arrogant he is, the more he feels that such a person is more reliable than those who are wary or attentive.
Therefore, even though Zhang Shou was still selling private goods during class that day, Zheshanjun didn't care at all and listened attentively. Especially when Zhang Shou talked about how Yu Wenrong cleaned up his hidden house during the Kaiyuan period, which touched the powerful and powerful people in the court.
The influence of a large local family caused a violent backlash, so much so that when he resigned as Prime Minister and died in a foreign land, he couldn't help but turn pale.
When he heard about the huge backlash that Wu Dutian suffered during the Han Dynasty and the turmoil in the court, he felt even more heavy. In particular, Zhang Shou attributed the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the failure of Wu Dutian in the early years, so that
The power of the wealthy family grew stronger and stronger, and finally became uncontrollable, so that when the people were in dire straits, his expression became even more solemn.
As a member of the royal family, but because his father died young and his uncle was young and strong and had a son, he did not receive a systematic royal education. Although his well-educated mother would teach him some, it was all piecemeal and unsystematic. Moreover, his mother's knowledge of the king
The history of Goryeo and Joseon cannot be fully understood, let alone the huge country to the west of them.
Therefore, Zheshanjun listened, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What does the teacher mean, should Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty act recklessly?"
"The descendants just talk about the merits and demerits of the predecessors with their lips. In fact, it is not that easy." Zhang Shou smiled and then said lightly, "I can't even say this in Ciqing Palace.
Said, because it attracts taboo. You know, although there are no wealthy families nowadays, there are still squires and clans. If they join forces, even the government can't do anything."
"At least the Ming Dynasty had strict laws and countless officials, but what about Goryeo? Can those officials who were born in the two classes oppose the clans they came from just because of the king's decree? You know, this is impossible!"
Seeing the tiger, he was extremely depressed. Zhang Shou said calmly: "In the final analysis, power comes from the barrel of a gun...the sword. On your side, the so-called king is more often than not a puppet in the hands of his relatives."
It’s just that most of the time, the military can’t do what it wants, so where does it get the real say?”
Without waiting for the tiger to protest, he said nonchalantly: "No matter how much you invest in veterans like the old army, you can't get any results. If you want to get results, you should quietly select a group of young people in remote places."
Ignorant children are picked up from a young age to form and train a new army, and then relying on such a team, they gradually gain their own right to speak..."
Outside the school hall, Hua Qi couldn't help but pick out her ears, then pointed inside, and whispered to Ah Liu who was calm outside: "You don't care?"
Is it my turn to take care of the young master? Ah Liu glanced at Hua Qi inexplicably: "The emperor came here the day before yesterday and told the young master about the garrison on Jeju Island. Isn't he worried about how the army will be stationed in Korea?"
Hua Qideng was speechless. Zhang Shou deceived people for the purpose of garrisoning the army... Why did he think that people were trying to incite the Tiger King to kill the Goryeo royal family?
