Chapter 902 The words of the elders of Yin Yin

After an hour of deliberation, Zhu Zhanji, who had already made up his mind, hesitated again because of Yang Shiqi's words. Even Du Zhen and Zhang Yue, the father-in-law and son-in-law, finally agreed with Yang Shiqi's words and waited for their respective vassals.

Let's talk about the performance. As for the other people, they all stopped for the time being, so after leaving the Wenhua Hall, everyone naturally divided into several groups.

Zhang Yue greeted Du Zhen and went to catch up with the British Duke Zhang Fu first. Although he had many contacts in the capital, he was not ignorant of some things, but after all, he was busy with official duties, and Zhang Fu kept a low profile.

It had been a long time since the last ancestor worship ceremony, and Du Wan was pregnant with Liujia. Only his mother, Sun, often went there, but she often went through the back door, so he never cared too much about the scene at the front door.

Inside the Meridian Gate was the Forbidden Palace, so the uncle and nephew could not say much, but they only briefly discussed today's topic. When they left the Meridian Gate, the little eunuch who was leading the way retreated. Zhang Yue held a lantern in one hand and supported him with the other.

Zhang Fu then asked about the topic Yang Shiqi mentioned just now, but Zhang Fu was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Although I have been ordered to concentrate on planning major military and state affairs, since it is a major matter, there are some things that I am not comfortable talking about. In addition, this matter was raised by you, the Minister of War, so I have not said anything. If it is from a military commander

As a military general, I naturally hope that the soldiers and horses will be strong and the generals will be proficient in martial arts. But from a hereditary noble point of view, many of the officers who have hereditary military positions have their fathers and ancestors who have fought bloody battles with me.

Yes, but now their nephews may not be able to inherit military positions, and may even have to suffer poverty, so naturally I feel bad."

Zhang Yue had always seen a serious and capable Zhang Fu. It was rare to see him sighing sadly like this, and his heart suddenly felt heavy. Thinking back to the last time he went back to Shijingyuan, Zhu Yong had also expressed similar words,

He had to say a few words.

"Officers are just one of them. In fact, I also asked the officers of the Ministry of War to discuss the matter of military households. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the army was banned. As a result, the soldiers almost became untouchables, and today's military households have almost become untouchables. The Northern Song Dynasty

They died at the hands of the Jurchens, and the Southern Song Dynasty fell at the hands of the Mongols. Although there were quite a few fallacies in political affairs, the corruption of the military system was also a factor. It did not mean that hereditary military positions were completely eliminated. Didn't martial arts be established? In Taizu's time, hereditary military positions were a major factor in failure.

If you pass the test, you will be given serious punishment. Although this is indeed serious, it has to be said that it is through these strict rules that each garrison can cultivate strong soldiers."

"I have led soldiers for so many years, but I still don't know this?" Zhang Fu shook his head again, and then he broke away from Zhang Yue's hand, "Don't look at me going out and riding in a sedan chair now. Everyone knows that I have rheumatism and cold.

I have old problems with my legs and so on, but if I really get on the horse, I can draw the bow and use the knife with my spear! Brother Yue, soldiers have a bad habit. Although you are in Xinghe and you have carried the soldiers of Arutai, you are still fighting

I have served as military counselor and guarded against Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River, but you must not know that, that is, as a soldier, I managed to gain a new background with great difficulty, and nine times out of ten I don’t want my son to go to the battlefield to earn his life again!”

Zhang Yue was stunned immediately.

In his time, it was common for military families to come from military families. Some even had sons who didn’t want to be soldiers, so I would whip them with a belt and send them to military schools or the army. However, Zhang Fu said that these days, those who have received hereditary military positions

I probably don’t want my son to go to the battlefield again! However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it made sense. Being a soldier is one thing, but going to the battlefield is another matter. Soldiers in those days were glorious, but today’s military households

But they are equivalent to untouchables. If the children of military households want to take off the title of military household for their family, according to the rules, they must serve as minister of the Ministry of War before they can change their civilian registration. Almost all civilian households are unwilling to marry military households.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and most of the inland guards are very peaceful. They don't need to go into battle and fight with each other, and they don't need to be skilled in martial arts. They just need to be able to control the military households below and farm and farm. As for the real war...

...Then you have to leave your fate to God. As for drills, let alone drills. Except for important border defense towns, there is no drill at all elsewhere.

"I understand the reminder from the lobby uncle."

"Just understand." Zhang Fu did not turn around to look at the expression on Zhang Yue's face, not because it was already dark and he could not see clearly, but because with his understanding of Zhang Yue, he naturally knew that this nephew he valued most

He wondered what his son would experience, so he walked and said softly, "I think the Ministry of War does not have a minister. Others think that the emperor wants to leave this position to you. But you should know that with the two honorable ministers of the Zhang family,

Gui, this is naturally impossible. The reason why you are temporarily in charge of the Ministry of War as a minister is because you are familiar with the four departments of the Ministry of War and can control it. We can also help you block various things, so it is easier to change.

But after the work is completed, you will most likely have to move to another place. In order to reward you for your contribution, you will either be in the Department of Husbandry or the Department of Personnel."

Not even Du Zhen said these words to Zhang Yue. Du Zhen's temper was that he could only raise a thread when something happened, and let Zhang Yue think about the rest. In his words, although he was a student, he was now a

Naturally, a big boss cannot follow his own lead in everything. Therefore, Zhang Yue can only think carefully on his own. Although he has thought about this layer, this layer of window paper has never been pierced. Now Zhang Fu suddenly

When he got to the biggest point, he couldn't help but rub his stiff eyes.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will try my best to advance step by step and won't touch the foundation all at once."

"That's good." Zhang Fu smiled happily, looked at the sky with his hands behind his hands, and then walked forward slowly and said, "Military affairs are not like Zongfan. Zongfan can cut through the mess quickly, and your father-in-law is a gentleman. I believe

The right thing will be done to the end. According to his temperament, he doesn't care even if he has to retire to Nanjing after doing this, because he thinks this matter is more important than anything else at the moment. And the same is true for Yu Qian, who is in charge of the Jiangnan Qing Dynasty.

Although I have never seen it, judging from the memorial, they are also upright people, so they rarely consider the consequences when doing things. But you are different. You have always been a person who sees everything at a glance, and these affairs have deep-rooted problems and are too involved.

Guang, you can't be too hasty. Therefore, I blocked all those who came to me to complain before, even the same was true for Cheng Guogong."

At this moment, Zhang Yue felt very excited. Even though he knew that Zhang Fu had always spared no effort to support him, it was not as deep as the current feeling. It was not until he left the right gate of Chang'an that he whispered: "I

I will definitely be more cautious when doing things in the future, so as not to let down the name of the Zhang family, let alone the hopes of the grand uncle."

"That's enough!" Zhang Fu nodded to Zhang Yue with a smile, and pointed to the sedan waiting over there, "No need to see me off, it's just a few steps away from my home, and the sedan is waiting there too.

There it is. Your mother-in-law was frightened today. Go over and talk to your father-in-law and ask him to be careful. Hard things can break easily...he won't listen to you, but sometimes you have to persuade her."

Zhang Yue agreed repeatedly, and after sending Zhang Fu to the sedan, he turned back and saw Du Zhen and Yang Pu walking out side by side, seemingly still discussing something, but Yang Shiqi was nowhere to be seen. He thought carefully,

Only then did he remember that Yang Shiqi was on duty in the cabinet that night. He walked forward quickly. Seeing that it was him, Yang Pu nodded and said something to Du Zhen, then went straight to his car beside him, and Zhang Yue

Then he helped Du Zhen and walked to the mule cart belonging to the Du family on the side.

As soon as he got into the car and lowered the curtain, Du Zhen asked directly: "How is your mother-in-law?"

"Xiao Wu said it was just a flesh injury, nothing serious." Zhang Yue saw Du Zhen patting his forehead and then rubbing his eyes. He knew how hard Du Zhen had been in there all day, so he quickly added

He said, "First of all, three officials from Wanping County Shuntian Prefecture and Nancheng Military and Horse Division went to the house. Xiaowu was so angry that she just left them alone. Her mother-in-law also scolded her for being ignorant. Now she is in good spirits."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Du Zhen murmured and repeated four words, and then he took a deep breath, "I was already very sorry for her, but if she really got hurt because of me, then

... Yuanjie, I never like having a large number of people at home, but now that I am encountering something like this, if you can handle it, lend me a few people from home."

"I have already made arrangements, father-in-law, don't worry."

However, seeing Du Zhen leaning against the compartment wall with his hands folded and his eyes closed, and the hands holding his arms seemed to have used a lot of strength, Zhang Yue didn't know that instead of calming down, his mentor and father-in-law was actually

When he was in a state of confusion, the more he felt like this, the more he felt that this was the real Du Zhen. The man who completely ignored his relatives and family members for the sake of national affairs might be a saint, but to his family members, it was so insignificant.

It's sad. At this moment, he felt that he was one step closer to Du Zhen.

"Your mother-in-law and I were a young couple. At that time, our parents ordered us to get married. I couldn't speak. At first, I just focused on studying. I relied on her for everything in the family, but whether it was studying or not

, farm work, or when I won the Jinshi and became an official, she prepared everything for me. Even if I left for more than ten years, she never once said a word of blame... Even though I was an official these years

She has a high position, but because of her temper, the family is not well-off, and the number of people has been reduced instead of increased, and she has not even enjoyed any blessings. She will not even show her fear in front of me, and now..."

Du Zhen rarely talked incessantly. At this time, the mule cart was bumping, but he kept mumbling, and his eyes were a little averted. Zhang Yue knew that Du Zhen did not want his own meager comfort, so he kept talking from beginning to end.

He just listened silently without saying a word. It was not until the carriage finally stopped that he jumped out of the car and stretched out his hand to give Du Zhen a hand.

Seeing the carriage stop, Yue Shan came forward with a lantern at the door. He just saw his master's strange expression and didn't dare to say anything. Zhang Yue supported Du Zhen all the way to the door of the main house and heard what was going on inside.

There was chatter and laughter, and I couldn't help but glance sideways at my old father-in-law, then opened the door curtain and helped the person in.

There was no one in the front half of the main hall, and the sounds came from behind the partition. So when Zhang Yue saw Du Zhen throw away his hand and walk quickly to the back, he hesitated for a moment and then slowed down. Sure enough, after a while,

Xiao Wu's happy shouts came from behind. Knowing that Du Wan was pregnant with Liujia and could not stay out for the night, he must have gone back by now, so he stood outside for a while. Not long after, he saw Xiao Wu slipping out of the back room.

As soon as they saw him, they made a gesture, and the two went to the east room to talk.

"Brother-in-law, you'd better go back first. Right now, my father is busy greeting my mother, and my mother doesn't have time to see you." Xiao Wu smiled slyly, and seeing Zhang Yue also smiling and nodding, she knew he must have listened.

Understood, he said enviously, "I used to think that my father always had a straight face, but I never thought that he would be so caring about others... Hey, when will my old man come back? Do you really plan to

Leave him in the white mountains and black waters?"

"He's just back. He has already set off by boat there. It is estimated that he will be able to reach Tianjin in a few months at most. You will be able to see him then." Zhang Yue suddenly remembered the letter he wrote to himself on Wanshijie and complained.

He said, "I'm so exhausted because of Yixiao." He didn't know what the young couple wrote in their private messages, and he didn't know if this guy was really having a terrible time there, so he thought of running away and stood up quickly.

He stood up and said, "Since you said it, I won't go in and disturb you. You can tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law later."

Seeing Zhang Yue walking so fast, Xiaowu was stunned. When she chased him out, she found that he had disappeared outside the courtyard gate. She was even more furious. Looking back at the main house, although it was

There wasn't much sound inside, but she thought about it and decided not to disturb the scenery, so she tilted her head and went straight back to her room to see her children. But as she walked, she was thinking about that smooth-tongued guy.

.

"When he comes back, I will learn from my father and take good care of him!"

It's just that this caring and concern sounds like a bit of gnashing of teeth.

The capital city has gradually become quiet at night. Apart from the regular sound of the clock, there are only the footsteps and low voices of the patrolling patrols of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, as well as the dignitaries who have not yet fallen asleep.

Occasionally, music and wind music could be heard in the mansion. Occasionally, a kitten or puppy would appear on the road, mixed with the sound of babbling and whimpering, which was particularly heart-pounding to listen to.

In front of the martial arts school in the east city that had been built but not yet used, a black shadow sneaked up to the door. He looked at the place for a while, then got into the alley next to it and arrived at a big house.

He knocked on the door, and when the door opened, he ducked in. When he got to the inner room, several people were already waiting there. As soon as he took off his cloak, someone spoke.

"how?"

"Looking at it, it should be completed within three to five days. By then, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Commander's Office will definitely send people." He paused and then asked hesitantly, "Are we really going to make a fuss?

"

There was silence in the room, and the once most determined people now looked at each other in confusion. After a long time, a sigh came from the corner.
Chapter completed!
