Zhang Yun's ancient life

Although the end of the year is approaching and everyone is very busy, Bao Ni's birthday party is still very lively.

Because most of the people who came here were close relatives and friends, the atmosphere of the banquet was very lively. Zhang Yun and the others rented the entire second floor of the restaurant, but there were too many people, and it was still The entire floor was crowded, and people who came late could not even find a place to sit down.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun and the others hurriedly asked the restaurant to add two more tables, and they barely managed it.

Although the one-year-old banquet made Zhang Yun feel a little tired, he was still very happy. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although there were some small fluctuations in their family's life this year, in general Still smooth.

People outside the home, whether they are adults or children, are safe and healthy. For Zhang Yun, this is the greatest happiness. Having these is enough, and there is really nothing else to ask for.

Just when Zhang Yun thought that this year would pass smoothly, an unexpected thing happened to him.

Speaking of it, this is still a good thing, that is, Zhang Yun is going to be promoted again, and he is promoted to the captain of the sea patrol from the sixth rank, and he is not the only one who has encountered such a good thing, there are many in their personal guards People also met this opportunity.

Logically speaking, being promoted is a good thing, but looking at the list of promotions, Zhang Yun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. The marshal is really generous this time, and the total number of people on the list can add up to more than 80 people. More than half of them are in his personal guard.

If it’s just that, then it’s okay. After all, those who can enter the Guards must be people who are extremely trusted by the Marshal. With such an arrangement, it is reasonable to say that they have cultivated cronies. Whoever said that they are all from the Guards There is no way to get the marshal's own eyes.

But the strange thing is that these people will be transferred from the Guards to work in other positions after their appreciation. Even Zhang Yun, the captain, is no exception. After he was promoted to a higher level, he was transferred from Under the door of General You of the Navy, we are about to start assisting in the patrol of Luosiwan.

If it was just like this, it would not make Zhang Yun think too much, but then the marshal gave him a flat list, which were all members of his personal guards. Some of these people wanted to go with him to patrol the snails Bay, and some of them were transferred from the tent of Sun Yan, the former captain of the personal guard, and went to guard the arsenal with him.

The two consecutive promotion orders reduced the number of the original 200-person guards to less than 20 percent, and those who are still on duty at the marshal's side cannot even reach [-] people.

Even though Zhang Yun was very calm in every aspect, he was also caught off guard by such a change. When accepting the transfer order, Zhang Yun took a deep look at the marshal.

Marshal Li twitched his mouth slightly when he saw this, but he didn't give any explanation. He just said softly: "You are very familiar with Luosiwan. Those brothers, even if you have fulfilled my cultivation of you for so long."

The marshal's words seemed to be like Zhang Yun's confession. If Zhang Yun felt something, he lowered his head when he heard the words, and saluted Bole who single-handedly promoted him, and replied: "The last general takes orders, please rest assured, Marshal."

Li Wei didn't say anything more when he heard the words, he just waved his hand and told Zhang Yun to go out.

Marshal Li's actions made people panic in the camp. However, unlike the discussions among the soldiers below, the upper-level leaders in the navy were very calm. Turn a blind eye to the action, still calmly doing what to do.

The attitude of the leaders somewhat calmed down the emotions of the soldiers, so in the current naval barracks, although the atmosphere is still a bit weird, the order is still only orderly.

After returning home, Zhang Yun told his family about his promotion. The family members were very happy about his promotion, but Uncle Guan still had some concerns and kept telling him to build a good relationship with his new colleagues and leaders.

Zhang Yun knew what he was worried about. Although the position he originally held was not high-ranking, it was a close position. No matter who it was, as long as they heard about this position, they would know who was standing behind him. When they saw him, they had to speak politely, after all, this face still had to be given.

Although he has been promoted now, he is completely separated. It turned out that when people saw him, they thought of the marshal. Now they see him, it is him. If they are not careful, the future road will not be like this It turned out to be that flat.

But Zhang Yun is not worried about this. Although the relationship between him and the marshal is said to be subordinate, it is actually more like cooperation. Test each other's attitude and bottom line.

Ever since seeing Li Wei's attitude towards Dongfang Hao, Zhang Yun knew what Li Wei was looking for. The two of them are very similar in essence, so Zhang Yun knew that he would leave his relatives sooner or later. Guard, so he has been carefully weaving his network of relationships so that one day he will have the strength to stand up on his own once he breaks away from the protection.

Speaking of it, I still want to thank the marshal, who waited until he was full-fledged before letting him leave. If it had been earlier, maybe he would really have to go on a bumpy road for a while, as his father-in-law worried. .

This new year has passed amidst people's joy and worry. After the fifth day of the first lunar month, the court will be restored. This is the first Spring Festival since Emperor Longxing ascended the throne. Although it is still in Xiaoli, everything must be kept simple. , but the atmosphere is still very strong, whether it is the civil and military officials, the concubines in the harem, or even the eunuchs and maids who serve people in the palace, everyone tries to highlight their own demeanor on the basis of simplicity. Once the emperor and the courtiers, the current emperor is the first to be a great treasure, and it is time to employ people, so now not only the civil and military officials are testing the new emperor's preferences, but the new emperor Longxing is also carefully observing the behavior of his subordinates. These ministers choose those who are available according to their own wishes.

At this seemingly calm time, but the turmoil still exists, no one thought that at the first court meeting of the new year, Emperor Longxing issued his first decree since he ascended the throne, which was actually about Zhongjing The title of the Marquis Mansion was handed down.

When the emperor mentioned the succession of the title of the Zhongjinghou Mansion, the ministers in the court were still a little confused. They didn't understand that the story had changed too quickly. Didn't the emperor just lead everyone together? Looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, shouldn’t the next step be to encourage everyone to learn from each other, make progress together, and strive for the rise of Dayong?

Why did they suddenly go to Zhongjinghou's mansion? It's because their way of thinking is wrong, so they collectively have auditory hallucinations?

The ministers who were relatively close, covered up with court clothes, exchanged glances at each other, and after confirming that they had heard correctly, the ministers quickly changed their status.

The Minister of Rites, who knew a lot about this matter, walked out of the court team first, and said to Emperor Longxing respectfully: "My lord, as far as I know, after the death of Marquis Zhongjing, he left behind three sons, the eldest son He was born of a concubine in the family, the second son was the eldest son, but he was a twin son, and the third son was also recorded in the genealogy as the son of the legitimate son, but he was born by his wife Teng at home. The Li family still had some doubts about his identity. There are some objections, so the title of the Zhongjinghou Mansion is still vacant."

Longxing heard the words and said in a deep voice: "Oh, so that's the case, what do all the Qing family think about this matter?"

The ministers looked at each other when they heard the words, and they didn't dare to speak without authorization. The matter of the Zhongjinghou Mansion is really not easy to talk about. Among the three sons, the eldest son is not the eldest son, but he is the eldest, and the second son, Zhandi, is a twin. It's also from Teng's wife. Although the words are correct, the name is not correct. How can it be a mess of characters?

So what is the final result of this matter, the most important thing is to look at the emperor's intentions, but now the emperor's face is as heavy as gold, making people unable to see his thoughts, and the ministers are extra cautious in their words and actions , I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong person, go against the emperor's will, and leave a bad impression on the emperor at this critical moment, then I will suffer.

Seeing that the people below were just discussing in low voices, and no one came out, Emperor Longxing clicked on the Minister of Rites and said: "Qing is the Minister of Rites, and he is familiar with the etiquette and the Li family. In Qing's opinion, who should this title belong to?" To inherit?"

The Minister of Rites thought about it after hearing the words, and felt that since he couldn't guess the emperor's opinion, then he should follow the law and discuss the matter as it stands.

So Lord Shangshu said: "I feel that the title should be inherited by Li Wei, the second son of Marquis Zhongjing."

Emperor Longxing heard the words and said: "Why did the Qing family make such remarks?"

The Minister of Rites said: "Li Wei is the first wife and son of Zhong Jinghou. He should have inherited the title long ago. It is only because of his dual status that he has been left to this day. Now nine years have passed, and Li Wei has already joined the army. He was promoted to a high position by virtue of his military merits, so whether it is in terms of ethics or merit, I believe that Li Wei is well-deserved in his succession."

As soon as Lao Shangshu finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion behind him. The most talked about was Li Weishuang's identity. He is not married yet, so in the future, whether he will marry, whether he will marry, whether he will have children or not will still be discussed. Unclear things.

Emperor Longxing glanced at the courtiers who were discussing a lot, and then said: "It seems that the Lu University scholar has something to say?"

This Lu University scholar was born in the Hanlin Academy, and he was the second place in the 15th year of Shengde. Because of his good script, he was very popular with Emperor Shengde. Many imperial edicts in the Shengde period were written by him.

The Lu University scholar heard the emperor's roll call, and hurried out of the court team, and said respectfully: "My lord, I just remembered that nine years ago, I had written an imperial decree for the late emperor, which was about loyalty and peace. Mrs. Hou's."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Emperor Longxing said while looking at the eunuch who was waiting on the side.

The eunuch who waited beside him was Hongxi, who had served Emperor Shengde all his life. It stands to reason that the late emperor was very good. If an old man like him should go to the emperor's mausoleum to guard the spirit of the late emperor, he would be released from the palace with grace. .

But Hongxi felt that he was over 50 years old, and it was not yet time to take care of his life. In addition, the new emperor also wanted to keep him, so he followed suit and stayed.

Hearing the emperor's question first, Hongxi thought for a while and replied: "I remember that there is such a thing. Nine years ago, when Zhongjinghou went out to fight, it was said that the first emperor wanted to invite his wife Teng. It was sealed. The first emperor’s imperial decree was written at that time, but it was suppressed by the time, saying that he would wait for Zhongjing Hou to return in triumph. Sad, the slave didn't dare to mention it again."

Emperor Longxing heard the words and said: "What about the imperial edict drawn up by the emperor?"

After hearing the words, Hong Xi replied: "Stay in the Palace of Qinzheng all the time, the servant will go get it now."

After a while, Hongxi came back with a scroll of Minghuang imperial decree scrolled with black rhinoceros horn in his hand. Emperor Longxing asked someone to unfold it. On the colorful silk scroll, it was written that the Second Rank Marquis was given to Zhongjinghou's mansion. Madame's order.

Lu Dashi stepped forward to look at it, and said, "Your Majesty, this is exactly the imperial decree written by my minister for the late emperor nine years ago."

Just as the courtiers were discussing this change, a minister standing in the center of the court walked out of the court, knelt down to the Ideal Emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister, and I am a loyal minister." The Li family of Jinghou Mansion, Weichen saw in the genealogy when he worshiped the ancestors during the Spring Festival, besides the name of Lord Hou, besides his original wife, there was another name of the Chen family. Weichen Out of curiosity, I asked the patriarch, and only then did I know that Lord Hou had already informed his ancestors that Xiao Chen would continue to be his wife before he set off on the expedition."

Emperor Longxing heard the words and said: "Hongxi, go and invite the old patriarch of Zhongjinghou Mansion over here."

When the patriarch of the Li clan came over, he also brought their family tree. On the genealogy, it was indeed written that Li Jin, the Marquis of Zhongjing, married his wife Chen, and continued his wife Xiao Chen.

After seeing it, Emperor Longxing said: "Then it's easy to handle. Aren't you afraid that Li Wei will be in trouble after Chengjue, so let his second son Chengjue, so everyone will be happy?" .”

The emperor said joy, so of course it was joy. Li Ying Chengjue's imperial decree was sent out on the same day, and the court of Zhongjinghou Li's family became lively in an instant. Everyone is not a fool. Dao imperial decree, what a blessing this is, and they don't believe that the emperor didn't know about the Li family's affairs. For the sake of his heart, he must have a good relationship with their family.

Just when everyone thought they had grasped the emperor's pulse, the new emperor poured cold water on the excited crowd because he had issued a second imperial decree, which was to relieve Marshal Li Wei of the Ludi Navy. He recalled all his duties to the capital, and his duties were taken by the former Marshal of the Jinghu Navy.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this imperial decree. Just after giving the title to the younger brother, he took away all the positions of the older brother. Does your majesty like or dislike the Li family? The emperor beat him A hand of cards?
