Chapter 296: Writing notes according to order, husband and wife jointly consult the details

Zhu Di was not a tolerant emperor, but compared to his father, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, he was at least extremely tolerant in his treatment of meritorious officials. Since he ascended the throne, many of the Jingnan meritorious officials who had been granted the title of Duke Bo were also corrupt and perverted.

Or he was offended for other reasons, and occasionally he was imprisoned or demoted to a distant place, but most of the time a decree came back soon, and he was still favored and trusted.

However, civil servants cannot be compared with heroes in this regard, especially those who assist the East Palace are even more hard-working. They often go to prison in royal robes and guard the prison, and their life and death are only determined by the emperor's thoughts. Naturally, there are exceptions.

When Nanjing was captured, many of Jianwen's old ministers served in the new dynasty, and many were martyred in the case of Fang Xiaoru and others, but more of them chose to retire to the countryside and not serve as officials. Although Zhu Di also summoned some, he did not

Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang who was as tough as when he recruited Jiangnan scribes, he would not force others to come. Therefore, Du Zhen had to hide for more than ten years before his family was harmed. It is now the seventeenth year of Yongle, and even the veterans who cherish the nostalgia of the dynasty know everything.

The dust has settled, even if he still abides by his loyalty to Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, he probably can't help his descendants to gain fame and become officials.

Nowadays, for those who place their hopes on Qingyun Road in official career, the scientific examination will have to wait for another two years. On the contrary, the recommendations from various provinces right in front of them are even more tempting. After the previous round of begging for frankness, Zhu Di issued another decree

The chief secretaries of each province recommended talented civilians who were over 40 years old and were proficient in economics, history and current affairs to go to Beijing to take exams in preparation for promotion as provincial officials. The decree shocked both the government and the public, and everyone was discussing the matter. The decree just issued a few days ago

The edict was gradually ignored.

Du Zhen was appointed as the lecturer of Hanlin Academy.

From this point of view, the right chief envoy from the second rank is directly reduced to the Hanlin Lecturer from the fifth rank. This is

Naturally, it is considered a relegation. However, everyone who knows about it knows that Du Zhen was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy from the fifth rank of the Hanlin Academy. The promotion of the chief envoy was originally a super transfer. Now the so-called relegation is nothing more than replacing a reading word with a speaking word.

, which is equivalent to being reinstated in a circle. Rather than being demoted, it is better to say that the holy family will not decline.

On this day, Zhu Di, who had moved to Renshou Palace, listened to several cabinet ministers report on political affairs as usual. Just when it was about to end, a young eunuch suddenly came in from the side door and stood beside him with his hands down. He waited until Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and others had retreated, and then he came up

Taking the first two steps, he took something out of his sleeve, knelt down and presented it with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue has a letter to submit to the General Affairs Department."

"Zhang Yue? Did you send it again?"

Zhu Di raised his brows, and immediately thought of Du Zhen, who had just returned to the Hanlin Academy two days ago and drafted an edict for himself. Thinking that the cold-faced man was still as useful as ever, he couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that he was newlyweds."

Even though we were in a tense situation, he could still send letters again and again, so he still knew his responsibilities. If he had no ambition, I would simply issue an order to free him! Submit it, and I will see what he writes this time.

What."

Faced with this soliloquy, no one in the main hall dared to say a word. The little eunuch stood up hurriedly after hearing the words, but he quickly stepped forward, respectfully presented the things to the imperial case, and then quietly retreated.

He went down. While Zhu Di lowered his head to read the letter, the two eunuchs waiting on him exchanged glances, and then lowered their heads.

"'Confucius said: 'Wealth and honor are what people want. If you don't follow the way to get them, you can't get them. Poverty and lowliness are what people hate. If you don't follow the ways to get them, you can't get rid of them.

If a gentleman abandons benevolence, will he become famous? A gentleman will never violate benevolence, and he will make mistakes and misfortune. "Yinyan said: A gentleman loves money and gets it in a certain way. But what is the way to get money? State-owned taxes and taxes

, Nine times out of ten, it comes from farmers, this is the common way, but how much of it is occupied by farmers in the world, how much is occupied by non-farmers..."

Seeing such words, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing. Asking Zhang Yue to read "The Analects" was just a casual comment, but this guy actually produced many colorful articles again and again, which was quite interesting. Because there was no place on the throne.

Trustworthy, he simply stood up, took the letter and went straight to the back hall, where he sat down on a grand master's chair covered with a woven gold chair, resting his head on his head and read it carefully. At first, he still had it with him

A bit joking, but as he watched, he gradually put away his smile, and tapped his fingers on the armrest next to him thoughtfully.

Because Sun was worried about her husband and daughter who stayed in Nanjing, even though it was only half a month after Zhang Yue's marriage, she began to pack her bags and prepare to go back. Therefore, she sent the letter to the General Affairs Department early that morning. Zhang Yue was worried about her mother going there in the afternoon.

He took a boat at Tongzhou Pier, so he hurried back home. He dismounted in front of the west corner gate, threw the reins to a porter who came out, and hurriedly entered the door in three steps and two steps. All the way to the west courtyard, he jumped

When he was free, he learned that Mrs. Sun was at his place, so he hurried over again.

"Mom, are you ready with everything?"

Mrs. Sun was holding Du Wan's hand and giving instructions. When she heard this sound, she quickly turned her head and saw Zhang Yue entering the door. She smiled and said: "It's just some daily clothes. There are only three boxes in total. They have been packed a long time ago. This

There are many rules in the mansion, many affairs, many conflicts, so you should take good care of your wife and don't let her be schemed against. Now that you don't have to take care of things, you should spend more time with her."

Du Wan was originally worried about her mother-in-law's temper. After spending half a month with Mrs. Sun, she felt lucky that she had met a mother-in-law with a good temper and a good temper. When she heard this, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and even laughed.

Said: "Mom, you don't have to worry about me. Except for going to the bedroom to talk to the old lady, I don't care about other things. How can there be any personnel conflicts? As for him, it's not like he really doesn't care. He even discussed it with me yesterday.

An article…”

"Okay, okay, I know that after you get married, your husband and wife will naturally follow each other." The more Ms. Sun looked at the young couple, the happier she became. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to hold Zhang Yue and Du Wan's hands together, "Now the master and I are both happy.

Without me, everything depends on you two. In short, live a good life and give birth to a big fat boy for me as soon as possible!"

Seeing that Du Wan was still blushing, Zhang Yue couldn't help but snicker in his heart. Just as he was preparing a few words to deal with Sun's old trick, a clear voice sounded from outside: "What the third wife said is, maybe you will come back from Nanjing next time."

When you come back, it’s time to hug your grandson! No, today the grandson’s ginkgo cake is steaming in the kitchen, and the old lady immediately ordered the slave to bring it over.”

While they were talking, the three people in the room saw Bai Fang opening the curtain and coming in, holding a box in his hand. When Sun heard the good words, she naturally smiled, took the box and put it on the Kang table, and then opened the lid. No need.

She said more, and Zhang Yue quickly took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he smiled and clapped his hands and said, "I've eaten all this, so I can have more children and grandchildren in the future, right? Baifang, go back and tell the old lady that I will come back."

Go and say thank you, mother, please go back to your room quickly and get ready, so as not to leave anything behind by then."

Mrs. Sun glanced at Du Wan meaningfully, then showed a clear expression, and hurriedly asked Baifang to go with her. In her heart, she admired the three girls who escaped at the critical moment. After going out, she saw her son and daughter-in-law were still there.

If she wanted to send him off again, she would have to drive him back. When the pink satin door curtain gently fell, she turned around.

"Third Madam, I would like to congratulate you this time. Now everyone in the family is praising you. Not only is Third Grandma good-looking, she also has a rare good temperament. Even the eldest grandma, who always gets the most praise from the old lady, is compared to her.

"

"That's just flattery from others. She's still young, how can she compare to Brother Chao's wife?"

Having said that, Mrs. Sun was extremely proud of herself. Although her son was her family's best friend and her daughter-in-law was the strength of others, the more she looked at her daughter-in-law in the past few days, the more she fell in love with her, and Mrs. Gu seemed to love Chongdu as well.

Wan, this time she will feel relieved and start her journey soon. After all, her son is safe, but who knows if something evil will happen to her husband?

Naturally, Zhang Yue didn't know that while his mother was satisfied with her daughter-in-law, she was also worried about her father's situation. When he returned to the kang and sat down, he discussed with Du Wan the article he had just submitted, and laughed about the affairs of the General Affairs Department.

The official's suspicion: "There are probably only a few people in the whole city of Beijing who have the right to direct play. This time I am really raising the tiger skin as a banner, reading the Analects of Confucius and writing letters according to the order. Fortunately, you helped me polish it again yesterday.

Otherwise, if you forget the taboo word, will your efforts be in vain?"

Recalling that yesterday she originally went to the study to deliver snacks, but was pulled by Zhang Yue to read and polish the article, Du Wan couldn't help but smile. On the first day after the wedding, she was meeting the elders. Although she said she deserved the gift, she still had to give it away.

At that time, I felt guilty about not having enough embroidery work - except for a few simple ones, everything else was done by Chunying and a few girls. Fortunately, no one made it difficult. I originally planned to practice it after marriage, but it turned out that

Today, the old lady asked me to copy Buddhist scriptures, and tomorrow my sister-in-law asked me to read the account books. In short, it was difficult to have any free time. The only one who had time was assigned to Zhang Yue yesterday, and it was completely wasted.

However, this is not the time to think about this. Du Wan has been at home with his mother since he was a child. Due to the family's situation at that time and having been in charge of farm production, he knows some folk situations. As for some things he doesn't understand, Zhang Yue can explain them one by one.

However, she was still a little worried about the article her husband had just submitted: "Although the emperor has great trust in you, you are still young after all. This reading note involves such a major matter. Will the emperor blame you?"

"The Emperor will be unhappy if I have nothing to do." Zhang Yue said as he pulled Du Wan into the inner room on the west side and asked him to sit down at the desk. Then he magically took out another letter, "Since

I was ordered to read the Analects of Confucius. Wouldn't it be boring if I read the same old books as others? I will always come up with some new tricks. Including today's one, I have sent three copies in total. Youdao is to moisturize things silently. I think the emperor should be aware of it.

Something moved. My good wife has a good family background, can you help me see if there is anything inappropriate in my choice of words and sentences?"

You said she was a good wife, how can you still refuse? Du Wan glanced at Zhang Yue sideways, and finally opened it seriously to take a look. The Dongfang family controlled the family affairs of this mansion, and she couldn't get involved and didn't want to get involved. If
