Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 276 Don't try to hide

Xing Wangfu's request for marriage passed through the Ministry of Rites and soon reached Zhu Houzhao's hands.

Since the emperor came back, those ministers started a silent non-cooperation campaign.

All ministries, even trivial matters, must pass through the hands of the emperor.

In the past, relatively minor matters could be said to conform to the rules. As long as they were not controversial matters, basically all departments could approve them.

Major and controversial matters must of course be sent to the emperor.

Now Zhu Houzhao's handbooks can be said to be piled up like a mountain.

He can only use the literate internal officials around him to take a look at the general situation first, and give him the more important ones that need to be resolved quickly, so that he can approve them in advance to avoid delays.

Xing Wangfu's invitation to get married during the Spring Festival was naturally placed on it.

"Eh? Uncle Xing's eldest son wants to get married?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the brochure in surprise.

"Didn't his second son just die not so long ago? This boss is going to get married so soon?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the second son of their family just passed away. Didn't Lin Tong and the others specially go there earlier? When they came back, they said that King Xing was also seriously ill in bed. I don't know how long he can last. I wonder if King Xing is worried that he is gone, and he is not reconciled that the son is not yet married to carry on the family line, so he is anxious to let the son get married and carry on the lineage as soon as possible!"

"Xingwang's lineage is indeed true, and the heirs are not prosperous. I heard that the eldest son didn't recognize it for a long time. I read the file in the newspaper, saying that he was raised in a Taoist temple in the early years, in order to avoid premature death. I said it was them. The son of that place, now it seems that there are some things that he has to believe, don’t you see that the original son is also good? If you say no, you will be gone!”

Jiang Bin explained from the side.

He has no interest in King Xing, mainly because the emperor is not in a good mood recently, so naturally he chatted with him.

"Uncle Xing Wang is not easy, but I forgot to ask about Lin Tong's situation."

"Lin Tong also wanted to report. He told me about the situation. It's just that you are too busy, and they don't have too many special circumstances. It bothers the emperor too much."

"Well, I see! As long as there are no major problems. By the way, how is the situation there?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly thought of Qin Shao.

He remembered that when he told Lin Tong and the others to go to Anlu Prefecture, he also went to see Qin Shao.

"His aunt has gone, and it seems that she is helping the coffin back to Xiangyang. Lin Tong said that he had a general understanding of the situation, and saw that their house was too busy, so he came back. But Ziming seemed very sad, his aunt I will raise him with my subordinates, just like my mother, Ziming probably won't come to Beijing for a while, and will stay at home to keep his filial piety."

"Hey! This person always says that if you don't die, you will die. My father and king were also in those days. He was a good person... Let's not talk about it! What you said is that nurturing kindness is actually better than giving birth to kindness..."

Zhu Houzhao thought of his mother, although she gave birth to her, she was with her mother's family both physically and mentally.

Compared with his mother, he felt closer to his nanny.

And her mother seemed to surpass her own son to the two uncles.

Sometimes the feelings in this world can't be said, and no one can tell the things between blood relationship and upbringing.

When Zhu Houzhao first took office in the early years, he was full of spirits, thinking that he would do a lot of work.

After years of hard work, now, at the age of less than 30 years old, I already have the sigh of the vicissitudes of middle-aged people.

"Siming is a talented person. Think about the few things I have experienced these days. If it weren't for him... hey! I still lack such courageous and resourceful people around me, especially Chaotang. He is a little four yuan. After the New Year If he can participate in the test and train more people on our side, he won't be so passive. Now that only Wang Qiong is in the Ministry of War, it is indeed too difficult."

"The emperor wants to take part in the scientific examination. When the time comes...but he just went to his aunt, this..."

Regardless of Jiang Bin's physical strength, to be honest, those civil servants are really timid.

If he is not afraid of war, the mouths of those civil servants who ask questions are the knives of killing, and he can't refute them at all.

When the family's parents and elders passed away, the three-year filial piety began with Yang Tinghe.

Now it has become the rule.

If a relative in the family dies and continues the scientific research to pursue fame, his spine will be smashed in the court.

"It's just an aunt. After all, the household registration does not say that she is a mother. It's just a formality. True filial piety is not in the form! This will be February next year, and I may delay it when I see it!"

Zhu Hou looked at Zhezi under his command and said in a trance.

"Does the emperor mean the empress dowager's side?"

Jiang Bin has already heard that the old lady Wang's condition is very bad recently.

The emperor went to see it earlier, and heard that there was less air intake.

The imperial doctor looked at it and seemed to say that he could survive the Chinese New Year at most.

Even though the old queen did not give birth to any heirs, her status was there. If she passed away, the funeral alone would take a month of tossing.

If it really arrives in February and March, then the test will really have to be postponed later.

"Well, the trial will be postponed at that time, since it is obvious that I have been keeping my filial piety for a while, it is enough to express the true filial piety in my heart, and I still have to serve the court."

Zhu Houzhao said directly.

"But I heard from Lin Tong that Ziming doesn't seem to have much interest in the next scientific research. He seems to want to live a good life farming in Anlu Prefecture and be a farmer."

When Lin Tong said those words, Jiang Bin had already sensed them. It should be that Ziming revealed them on purpose in order to let Lin Tong speak to the emperor.

"Absurd! I am a man of great virtue! I am capable and knowledgeable. I don't want to serve the country. I just want to be a farmer on that small piece of land. I am really worthless!"

Zhu Houzhao patted the table angrily.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry! Ziming guessed that it was because of his aunt's passing, and he was sad for a while. Maybe it will change in the future. He didn't help the emperor a lot before, and Ziming made a lot of contributions in the battle of Yingzhou. He is very masculine, to be honest, I also admire him a lot, he is still young, and the temperament of young people will change whenever they want, maybe it will change at that time, the emperor will let people talk about it."

Jiang Bin had a good impression of Qin Shao.

If in the early stage it was because this person liked the emperor, many things made him persuade the emperor, which was very effective, and others were also loyal, with the advantage of their generals being neat and not mother-in-law.

Jiang Bin deeply admired his command in the Battle of Yingzhou.

Even if he pleases the emperor, he can be said to be a confidant with the emperor.

But following the emperor in this court, it was very difficult to fight with those civil servants, and he often felt powerless, but after Qin Shao came, many difficult things seemed to have changed for him.

Not only was he on the battlefield, but he also seemed to be able to do things like mother-in-law and mother-in-law in court, which made him feel a lot easier.

Not to mention Zhu Houzhao, it was him who felt that there was no such person to help him, and felt that he could not do without the help of this person.

"Well, that's what you said. Ziming still has teahouses and bookstores in Shangjing. Is it because he was a little scared when those people checked his tabloid questions earlier? Probably not, he is not that timid. , I think he is very fierce! But I know that he likes to enjoy himself, he pays attention to food and drink, you can see that their food is better than mine! Just to go to his place to make a living, we can't let him stay in Anlu Prefecture alone, etc. Years later, I simply gave him a secret decree, telling him to take the general examination, and he has to take the exam if he doesn't! Don't try to hide from this kid!"
