Tianshui County Ji County, the Prime Minister's Department.
After hearing that the Prime Minister had returned, Zheng Pu hurriedly came from Xiaolongshan Ranch to see him, and returned with a face full of surprise.
Over the years since he became an official, he has visited the Prime Minister's Office countless times to see the Prime Minister. Today, for the first time, he was told by the clerk on duty: "The Prime Minister gave instructions this morning and there are urgent matters to be dealt with. He will not see any of his assistants in the next three days. The military advisor will be there later."
Come again."
What else is happening now that makes the prime minister refuse to invite his ministers to see him?
And it’s still three days!
Zheng Pu, who involved himself in everything from making preparations for the military war to fixing gaps in state affairs, and even the appointment of ministers to the prime minister, was puzzled by this.
Therefore, before leaving, he asked the clerk on duty.
But the little official on duty looked troubled and immediately became silent. After a while, he whispered in a low voice, "There is no need for the military advisor to worry about it. It has nothing to do with military warfare or state affairs. The prime minister is dealing with the disputes between the officials and assistants in the government."
Are the ministers and assistants in the prime minister's office quarreling with each other?
Could it be that during the few months I was away from Longyou, some of my subordinates committed some crime?
Hearing this, Zheng Pu was even more surprised.
But when the little official on duty finished speaking, he turned his head and lowered his eyes, appearing to be silent.
Zheng Pu, who didn't want to ask any more questions, could only return in anger.
Riding his horse slowly, he rode along the Wei River to the Luo family's Yishan Villa in Luomen. When he was greeted by the cool water vapor, he suddenly remembered that Fu Qian had been leading the army to protect the Prime Minister all these years.
Gongyuan should know the whole story, right?
With this thought, he beckoned his attendant Qi Ya to come closer to him and said, "I forgot just now that you should return to Ji County to find Gongyuan privately and inform His Majesty that you have armor and a sword for me to transfer to you."
Let him come back when he has time."
"promise."
Responding loudly, Qi Yacuo turned his horse's head and left without mentioning it.
When I returned to Luomen Ju, I found my wife Zhang Yan and her little Jingji playing in the shade of a tree by the creek.
As if she was playing hawk and rabbit hunting, the young Jingji giggled and ran happily around the unmodified rocks, making everyone smile with her carefree innocence.
Seeing Zheng Pu coming, he ran over and hugged his calf, raised his head and called out loudly, "Father~~"
Now she is no longer afraid of Zheng Pu, whom she rarely meets.
"Um."
Responding with a smile, Zheng Pu lowered his hand and played with her hair a few times before leading her to sit under the shade of a tree.
Zhang Yan, who had been following Xiao Jingji, also sat down and asked in surprise, "My husband went to see the Prime Minister, why did he come back so quickly?"
"The Prime Minister has other matters and you won't be able to see me for the time being."
Zheng Pu carefully pulled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat on Xiao Jingji's forehead, and said, "Well, the Prime Minister will not be free for these three days."
Well?
After Zhang Yan listened, she was speechless for a moment.
In the past, whether the prime minister summoned Zheng Pu to discuss matters, or Zheng Pu asked for an audience on his own, he would not give up day and night, just regretting that time passed by so quickly! How had there ever been a time when her husband would avoid the table because of something?
Could it be that your husband has behaved inappropriately and therefore annoyed the prime minister?
With such thoughts, Zhang Yan silently looked at Zheng Pu with a hint of suspicion and anger.
Just when Zheng Pu was getting cakes and Xiao Jingji, he glanced sideways. He couldn't help but was slightly startled, and replied angrily, "Don't be too worried. The little official on duty told me privately that it was a matter of dispute between the Prime Minister's office and his assistants."
, so when the Prime Minister deals with it, others should avoid it."
Immediately, she didn't know what she thought of, and she arched her eyebrows and said, "Since my husband has three days to spare, why not explain some of the military books at home!"
What is the purpose of annotating military books?
Fu Gongyuan is already in his prime. He can just study the military books and copy them by himself to slowly understand them. Why do I need to explain them one by one?
Zheng Pu looked sideways again, puzzled.
"Haha~~"
Zhang Yan smiled broadly and said softly, "Brother intends to bring Zuner to Longyou, but my sister-in-law can't come with her, so I want to bring Zuner to live in this house."
Zhang Zun is coming to Longyou?
The road to Shu is difficult and he is still young, so why does Zhang Bao have such intention?
After listening, Zheng Pu became more and more stunned.
Zhang Yan stretched out her hand to hold little Jingji in her arms and explained the reason in detail.
It turns out that Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and other second generations of the Yuan Dynasty almost all bought villas in Longyou. After Guan Xing went to Hanzhong last year, he went to Chengdu to bring his concubine Guan Yi and his biological mother to live in Longyou. It is hoped that Guan Yi will be less nurturing under the iron horse, so that in the future, when he is adopted by his deceased brother Guan Pingping, he will not insult his late brother's reputation as a general.
After Zhang Baode heard about this, he couldn't help but have the same thought.
As for the difficulty of the road to Shu, Fu Qian was still young and so on. When he was ten years old, he accompanied Zheng Pu's army in the southern and northern expeditions! They were both generals, and Fu Qian and Guan Yi could endure the hardships. He felt that his eldest son Zhang Zun could also endure the hardships. Practice practice.
Therefore, when he was writing the book, he also informed Zhang Yan privately, intending to keep Zhang Zun in the Lu family's villa.
The one near the water should get the moon first~~
Fu Qian, who had studied under Zheng Pu since childhood, was highly regarded by the prime minister for his talent and learning. His eldest son was now old enough to study under Zheng Pu. How could Zheng Pu, his sister-in-law, turn a blind eye!
Naturally, he also knew that Zheng Pu was becoming increasingly busy with his official promotion and had no time to recruit disciples and teach him.
Therefore, he did not ask Zheng Pu to give Zhang Zun the name of his disciple. However, as Zheng Pu's uncle, when he occasionally returned home to rest, he would take advantage of the opportunity to supervise Zhang Zun's studies or give him some advice.
An Neng has something to say to ward off the evil!
"That's roughly what brother means."
After Zhang Yan explained, she said with a smile, "I know that my husband's affairs are complicated, so I asked him to explain the difficult parts of the military book in his spare time, and I urged Zuner to study it. Well, when the heat of August dissipates, Brother Zhong So I asked my family's retinue to escort Zun'er to Longyou."
In response to this, Zheng Pu was speechless and responded with a wry smile.
Everything has been arranged, even the time for Zhang Zunlai's check-in has been set, so what else can he say?
When Zhang Yan saw Zheng Pu's gloomy expression, she sighed again and said in a deep tone, "I'm not as good at giving birth as Du Ji. My husband often supervises the army and goes out on battles, and my cousin takes care of the property here, so I can only look forward to Zun'er's arrival." I won’t be idle anymore, alas.”
Yes, my concubine Du Shi is pregnant again. She was conceived before Zheng Pu returned to Shu as an envoy to Jiangdong.
This made Zhang Yan even more frustrated.
But this is really not Zheng Pu's fault for doting on his concubine and not caring about his wife.
When he was at home, he only stayed in Du's room for one night in ten days. How could Zhang Yan be blamed on him because she was not pregnant?
But as a husband, what can he say?
Furthermore, even if you win an argument with your wife, it will only add to the troubles at home.
"I know this."
After being silent for a while, he took Zhang Yan's hand and said, "I will go and annotate the military manual later. Well, if Zuner comes, then come. If I have some free time, I will definitely supervise you."
At dusk, the servants Qi Yacuo and Fu Qian returned to the Lu Family Courtyard.
