There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

What to do, my daughter has the attributes of a queen, if she can't get married, my mother will kill me! !Shi Zhongzhu shouted in his heart.

Shi Zhongzhu was surprised by Mingzhu's maturity, and turned his head to look at Wei Zhenniang, but Zhenniang said: "Guizhou, in terms of official position, family background, and personal qualifications, no one can compare with our Mingzhu. Yes." Turning her head and Mingzhu said: "But there are people beyond this man, there is a sky beyond the sky, Mingzhu, you must not be proud, think that you are the best woman in the world, and deserve the best man, you know?"

"Okay, mother, I can memorize everything you said, I know. Don't be arrogant, don't be humble, and I still have correspondence with the eldest sister. There are countless high-ranking girls in Beijing, so how can I be arrogant. Besides, mother, this is the best man, different people have different opinions, how many people are looking forward to marrying the royal family, but don't you just think that daddy is the best man in the world!"

"Go, I've learned to tease my parents!" Wei Zhenniang scolded with a smile.

"Oh, Mingzhu really has vision, isn't daddy the best man in the world!" Shi Zhongzhu, a daughter slave, hugged little Mingzhu and said, "In the future, when we choose a husband, we can choose according to daddy's image, okay?"

"Okay, we must find someone who is as good as daddy!" Mingzhu clenched her fists and said.

"It's hard to find something as good as it is. If we, Mingzhu, relax our standards a little bit, we'll be fine. Otherwise, there's no good man in the world!" Shi Zhongzhu said shamelessly.

"Well, listen to Daddy!"

Wei Zhenniang rolled her eyes, ignored her boastful husband and her stinky daughter, and said, "I'll get those two to eat."

"Father, father, let me down quickly, mother is gone, let's go and see my little brother." Shi Mingzhu seized the opportunity and said.

"How can it be like being a thief? It's not easy to go." Shi Zhongzhu didn't understand.

"Oh, Dad, you don't know, the little brother is weaning off milk. The mother said that it is best for mother not to see the little brother first, so as not to stop giving up. I stay with mother every day, and my body smells like mother. I will definitely cry when my younger brother sees me. Mother won’t let me see my little brother.” Mingzhu complained.

"Since Pingping is going to cry, why are you going to see him?"

"It's time for him to sleep. I'll take a sneak peek and promise not to disturb him. When I get back, I can tell mother what my little brother looks like. How about it?" Mingzhu looked at her father, blinking her big eyes to be cute.

"I see him every night, your mother is also with me, and the nanny didn't say no."

"When you saw my younger brother, he had just had his fill of food. Mother could only see him for a short while, and he was probably asleep. It's okay. Oh, dad, don't ask, let me go and have a look!" Mingzhu stepped up her firepower and acted like a baby.

"No, it's useless to act like a baby, and dad doesn't understand this, so I'll wait until I ask your mother." Feeling a little stiff in his tone, he said softly: "Mingzhu, be good, it's not too late, how about you talk to me today?" In the evening, when Pingping is full, come to see him in the yard of parents, okay?"

"Ok."

The father and daughter started another topic, and after talking for a while, Wei Zhenniang brought Shi An and Shi Ning here. Now they are six years old and the other is five years old. They are both at the age of pre-school enlightenment. But I was too busy with political affairs to teach them personally.It just so happened that after the reform of the ethnology in Beijing, Mr. Yuan, the first general manager, retired, and his son was sent out to be an official. The old man's wife has passed away, and he doesn't want to run around with his son. He has been a teacher for so many years, so he is very addicted to being a teacher. Very, I always feel that I can teach a few more students.

When Shi Zhongzhu heard about it, he wrote to him quickly and asked Mr. Yuan to be escorted by Bowling Hou's mansion.Mr. Yuan knows that he will not be able to teach as he gets older and there are too many people. Two or three children are not a problem.He was originally a master of family history, so he readily agreed.The homework of Shi An and Shi Ning was handed over to Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Yuan has been teaching for many years, and he is much better than Shi Zhongzhu, a pseudo-expert. Shi Anshining has become even better under Mr. Yuan's teaching.

The two brothers pretended to be adults with stern faces, and after saluting, they sat down properly. Shi Zhongzhu held back his laughter, and did not make things difficult for his son, and acted like a strict father. Wave, put two people to eat.

After the family of four had dinner and sent the three little ones to take a nap, Shi Zhongzhu and Wei Zhenniang walked slowly in the backyard along the corridor.The cloister is shaded by flowers and trees, and the fragrance is bursting. Even at noon, people do not feel the heat wave and are very comfortable.

Shi Zhongzhu took Wei Zhenniang's hand and apologized: "Pingping is almost one year old, but I am very incompetent as a father. I don't even know such a big thing as he quit breastfeeding. I have worked hard for you."

"You are busy with big things outside, but at home, I naturally have to take care of it. It's all my job. No matter how hard it is."

Both husband and wife are in the golden childbearing period, Shi Ping's arrival is a matter of course, Shi Zhongzhu is not too distracted, always feels that he has the experience of raising three children, and it is no problem to copy it, who knows...

"Did the nanny tell you to see Pingping temporarily during the day? Why is that? I remember that it was very easy for the first few children to quit breastfeeding." Shi Zhongzhu asked.

"Oh, I don't know why, Pingping just wants to be more delicate, not as easy to quit breastfeeding as his brothers and sisters, so the nanny said, in the past, there was no wife in charge of the inner house to feed herself, so she just sent the nanny away. , The child would cry two days ago, and after crying, he would forget about it. Now, I am separated from the child, and it is the same reason."

This Shi Zhongzhu really doesn't know, he has no experience in his past and present lives, so let's listen to the elder mother.

"I've wronged you." Shi Zhongzhu said.

"Mother, don't feel wronged, it's just that sometimes you want to be normal, but you can't see it, and you feel a little uncomfortable." Shi Zhongzhu smiled gently.

"You're starting to feel uncomfortable. In a few years, when An An and Ning Ning go out to study, what will you do?" Shi Zhongzhu joked.

"They still have to go out to study!" Wei Zhenniang said in surprise, "Are you talking about their study tour after passing the Juren exam, or..."

"Send them to the academy to study." Shi Zhongzhu completed Wei Zhenniang's words.

"Mr. Yuan and you, isn't that enough? Mr. Yuan's subordinates have taught so many people to become Jinshi, and you, who is my husband, a great talent who is famous all over the world, it is not easy to teach a child." Wei Zhenniang exaggerated .

"Learning is of course no problem, but they need to learn how to get along with others. Guizhou is a bit remote after all. I want to send them to the Imperial College in Beijing or an academy with a prosperous literary style in the south of the Yangtze River. Learning is something that can't be learned. The strong have their own strengths." In the middle, they are already the top group in Guizhou, and if they stay here, they won't be able to improve."

"Can you not go?" Wei Zhenniang begged.

Shi Zhongzhu was silent.

"When are we going?" Wei Zhenniang asked.

"It's early, I just want to say hello to you first, so that you don't panic when the time comes, why don't you let them go outside to study after they grow up, become a scholar, and can take care of themselves. It's still early , um, don’t scare yourself.”

"Even in a few years or decades, I still think they are children. How can we not be afraid if the children leave their mother's side." Wei Zhenniang began to be unreasonable.

"Zhenniang~ Don't worry, if the time comes, I may have already been transferred back to the capital, or transferred to Jiangnan. It's just an idea. The world changes with time, and it will definitely change accordingly. It's too early to think about it now, don't worry ah."

"You didn't mention this first!" Wei Zhenniang was dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, then let's talk about something else." Shi Zhongzhu apologized sincerely, and the topic immediately turned to interesting things in the circle of local noble ladies, which made Wei Zhenniang laugh again and again.

————————————————————

The sage in Beijing received Shi Zhongzhu's memorial, looked at it roughly, and asked Dai Quan to call the prince.The prince has been studying government affairs in the Hall of Mental Cultivation since the sage was in poor health. He rests in the side hall and lives with the sage. When he goes to court, he also has a place in the Lizheng Hall. It shows that he is trying his best to train the prince.

The crown prince came, and after saluting, the sage gave him Shi Zhongzhu's memorial. After reading it, the crown prince happily said: "Now that this method is proved to be feasible, my father will definitely leave his name in history, and Shi Yaoyun will be credited with it!"

The sage said indifferently, "It's only been three years, and the days to come are still long. How long will it take for the whole of Guizhou to spread out, and how long will it take for the whole of Dayue to spread out? The grassland people in the north are not the same as the people in the mountains in the south. The key is , This is the situation everywhere, Shi Yaoyun has no constraints, what kind of official position are you going to use to place him, you know, he has not yet been established this year."

The crown prince remained silent. Only Shi Zhongzhu could do this. It was obviously impossible to replace him. Not to mention whether the person who succeeded him could continue this policy. Such an obvious act of killing the donkey not only chilled the hearts of the courtiers, but also made the courtiers feel ashamed. The education he has received since then is also contrary to it, and the prince is unwilling to do such a thing.

"I set up provinces in Guizhou and Yunnan respectively. Now the form has changed. I can follow the example of the previous dynasty and set up a governor." The prince suggested that only he dared to say such a thing. The approval was flawless, as if he was a scum in everything, but the prince understood that many systems of the previous dynasty were still very useful, and Dai Viet is just inheriting and developing the previous dynasty.

"Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou?" The saint muttered to himself, "Let's take a look again. The matter of the barbarians is changing rapidly. I don't know if Shi Yaoyun can survive that time? I mean to suppress him. How can you reward him for 50 years?"

"Father..."

"Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou is also worthy of him, but you can't just look at the past few years when you do things. If he can really conquer the people of Yunnan, Guizhou and barbarians, then of course he will conquer the grassland people in the north. The people in the north are brave and good at fighting. If you don't If you let him rule the army, he will not even be able to save his life; if you let him lead the army, how can you guarantee his loyalty? Don’t forget, the historian is a general who came from a noble family and has a solid foundation in the army! Even if you assign him a special The leader of the army, if you have a good relationship with him, join hands, don't talk about it, it's always okay to deceive you, and make profits for yourself; if the relationship is bad, and there is too much internal friction, what do you send him to do? You don't know what to do. Have you thought about it? Don’t be naive, put political affairs on the ethereal human nature, who Shi Yaoyun is, I don’t want to know at all~”

"Father, it's not yet this far." I don't know if the prince means that the situation will not develop to such a serious level, or that there is no need to consider such a long-term.

"If you don't think farther than others, how can you be a saint?"

Raising his hand to stop the prince who was about to speak, the sage said quietly: "Stop talking, what I mean is only what I mean, it's up to you whether you listen or not. I can always live a few more years. When I'm alive, I naturally listen to you." Oh my, can I still take care of what's going on in the future..."

The saint's words are sad, even if there is a superb doctor asking for pulse every day, and the genius is hanging on his life, but the saint obviously feels that his energy is getting weaker and weaker, and death is close at hand. Even if he is called a "sage", he can't ignore it A true saint of life and death.

"Father, why should you be discouraged? If you recruit famous doctors from all over the world, my son won't believe it..."

"If you don't believe in anything, you have to believe in fate. I am the son of heaven, but God gave me this little time, so, so, so." The saint waved his hand wearily, and the prince retreated silently.

Recently, the sage often took the courtiers' papers and explained everything to the prince in detail. Shi Zhongzhu was just an excuse.The saint was very afraid, he was afraid that one day he would fall down without warning, and if he didn't explain clearly to the prince, the empire would take a detour and the country would be in turmoil.As for the son?When the country is stable, he is naturally noble and unparalleled, and the world is in turmoil, how can he save his life? To be a saint, to be a prince, the world is himself, and the world is more important than himself! .
