Idle courtiers

Chapter 358 I Can't Do This Job Anymore
A four or five-year-old child, can you reason with him, you have to understand it.

The blame is to blame Zhang Juzheng for being too good at teaching such smart and experienced students.At such a young age, being able to talk freely with court ministers made Zhou Nan ignore Zhu Yijun's age and treat him as an adult.

Moreover, the bear child has another big move, which is to cry.

The son was born in the heavenly family, the most ruthless emperor's family.King Yu doesn't care much about his children on weekdays, and he doesn't see him once or twice a month.Therefore, Zhu Yijun has no fatherly love since he was a child.

He stayed with Zhang Juzheng every day, and he already regarded Zhang Taiyue as his father in his heart and respected him very much.This is also the reason why Zhang Shoufu's major reforms later received great support from Emperor Wanli, even though they caused anger and resentment.

Hearing that Zhou Nan said that he wanted to drive Master Zhang away, little Wanli was anxious and cried aloud.

This cry made Zhou Nan feel like a catastrophe was imminent.

There is a saying in the ancients that goes like this: A gentleman embraces grandchildren but not sons.

Meaning, you have to be tough with your son so that he can grow.When you are old, you might as well love your grandson and enjoy family happiness.In this way, life is considered complete.

It can be seen that Jiajing loves little Wanli very much, otherwise it would be impossible to break the rule that the two dragons do not meet each other and invite him into the palace.

I made his most darling grandson cry in anger, and the emperor's thunder came down, and I'm afraid that my old Zhou will be finished today.

Sure enough, there was a flash of greenness on Jiajing's face.

Zhou Nan felt anxious, and quickly cast his eyes on Yuan Wei's face asking for help.This old man was his only life-saving straw, and he was the only one who could save himself.

Old Yuan Ge drooped his lower eyelids.

Zhou Nan felt cold in his heart, that's right, Lao Yuan is a kind person, I am not related to him, and he has no obligation to help me.

At the moment, he had no choice but to retreat, and said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, the minister's morality is superficial, and his words are useless, which offends the prince. I beg you to be removed from the post of Daolu Secretary Youzheng, and go home to study."

Suddenly, Yuan Ge shouted: "Zhou Nan, begging for trivial things, and threatening your father, you will be punished. If you resign because of a trivial matter, won't it make people say that your majesty is infinite, and you should pay attention to daily life." Write this for your Majesty, for your son? Besides, I am the most humane person when I say nothing. You are also from a scientific background. If you let this word go, who will dare to speak up in the future? This trend cannot be raised, and this example cannot be opened."

This was said with a stern voice.

Seeing his beloved grandson crying, Jiajing was also on the verge of anger, and wished that someone would drag Zhou Nan out immediately and beat him violently.

But when I heard Yuan Wei's words, I knew that Zhou Nan was touching porcelain in my heart: it was so dangerous, I almost fell for this guy named Zhou.

Yes, as the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he can beat anyone he wants, and fetch water if he doesn't like it. The grievances and grievances are clear.But beating people is not a random beating, you have to pay attention to the cost-effectiveness ratio.

For example, during the great etiquette, involving the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power, more than a hundred people were killed and wounded, and the final victory was won.Although his reputation is not good, it is worth it.

If you beat Zhou Nan today purely to vent your anger, he would be removed from office.This man surnamed Zhou is really famous. If he becomes a Jinshi in the future, he will definitely enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate based on his experience in the Pedestrian Division and the reputation he has established in the Procuratorate. troublesome.

Speaking of which, I beat him up to help this annoying thing in his official career, put him on the horse, and send him off.

This guy is so thoughtful!

It doesn't matter if someone writes a note on my daily life. Poor Zhu Yijun is only four years old, so he should be written in it. How wronged?
Let's talk about the dispute over etiquette, Yang Shen, the son of the first assistant Yang Tinghe, come to me exclusively to discuss the fight.I am also not polite to him. I am directly dismissed from the official position, dismissed from the fame, and rushed to the smoky place in Yunnan.

But what the result is, Yang Shen is famous all over the world, and he is said to be the most talented man in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years.

When he died, he was directly enshrined in Shilin.

I can no longer do this kind of thing, and I can't do what I want.

I can't be fooled by you.

However, the tone must be ruthless, otherwise the thoughts will not be clear.

For him, the most precious thing in the world is money.

Immediately, Jiajing suddenly smiled, hugged his grandson, and said, "Zhu Yijun, no one can bully you with grandpa around. Don't worry, your Master Zhang will not be driven away. See if the emperor punishes Zhou Nan properly."

Zhu Yijun choked up and nodded.

Jiajing shouted to Zhou Nan: "Zhou Nan, are you convicted?"

Zhou Nan: "Your Majesty is right, Mr. Yuan Ge taught you the right thing, and I am convicted."

Jiajing: "Okay, since you know the crime, you will be fined for one year's salary. That's it for today, let's go."

It turned out to be a one-year salary deduction, Zhou Nan was extremely disappointed and inexplicably sad and indignant.

Did the expected imperial scepter come to naught like this?

The annual salary is only three to fifty taels of silver.Mr. Zhou has passed the stage of relying on salary for a living, and whether the money is paid or not does not affect his life.

Seeing that Zhou Nan was so angry, Zhu Yijun couldn't help clapping happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, thank you, Grandpa Huang."

Exactly, the face of a four-year-old child changes at will.

After coming out of Yuxi Palace, Zhou Nan originally made up his mind to invite Zhengyi and Quanzhen, experienced and optimistic people, to have a working meal. Anyway, the company still has a lot of funds.

But at this time, he was not in any mood, so he hired a sedan chair and went straight home.

Today's weather is really too hot, after a long day of exhaustion, Zhou Nan's whole body seems to be falling apart, and he even smells like heatstroke.

I didn't even eat two bowls for dinner, so I lay down under the grape arbor to enjoy the cool.

Seeing her husband languishing, Xun Fangyu sat beside him worriedly and touched Zhou Nan's forehead: "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's hot." Zhou Nan sighed quietly: "The world is changing, and it cannot be done by human beings, but what can I do."

Xun Fangyu was anxious: "Master, what's wrong with you, don't scare me."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's fine, take care of the baby in your belly." Zhou Nan touched her belly.

Xun Fangyu's abdomen has protruded slightly, and he can feel some movement inside, which is very interesting.

Therefore, Zhou Nan had nothing to hide, so he told his wife what happened today in detail.

To be honest, today's envoy Lao Zhou took a lot of effort to get it.First, he used words to force Wang Xijue to retreat, and then offered financial planning and reached an understanding with Prince Yu's Mansion.Exhausted, finally able to serve the emperor.

He had prepared several excellent Qingci poems with great ambition, and wanted to follow the path of Yan Song, Xu Jie and others, and relying on this skill was easy on the emperor's heart.

At the beginning, everything went very smoothly, and Emperor Jiajing was indeed very satisfied with his Qing Ci.

But who would have thought that the prince of Prince Yu's mansion would have such deep hostility towards him/
After today's commotion, the Chairman Jiajing must have felt extremely disgusted with him, a small employee of the Ming Dynasty company, so naturally it can't be said that there is nothing simple in the Emperor's heart.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Nan sighed: "Things in the world, seeing that everything is going well for you, who knows who will throw a stone from somewhere to trip you."

Seeing that her husband was worried about it, Xun Fang said comfortingly: "There is no hurdle in the world that cannot be overcome. Besides, the master is determined to become an official through the imperial examination. This is the right way. It doesn't matter what your father thinks of you, just follow the fate!"

Hearing what she said, Zhou Nan immediately came to his senses.The reason why I worry about gains and losses and want to become a close minister of the emperor is not because I don't have fame and want to take shortcuts.If you are able to study, you can directly take the imperial examination, no matter how much the emperor hates you, you can't stop yourself from making progress.

However, there are still three days left for this fasting ceremony.It's really troublesome to look at the emperor's stinky face every day, and to be on guard against that brat Zhu Yijun playing tricks behind his back.

Zhou Nan continued to feel upset, and touched his wife's belly with his hands.

Xun Fangyu felt bad, got up hastily, and fled, much to the disappointment of Mr. Zhou.

That night, Zhou Nan lifted his spirits and began to review his homework again.It's a pity that I was so tired during the day that I fell asleep after reading two pages of the book.

On the second day, he still brought relevant people into Xiyuan to continue the work at hand.

Today, it was still the supervisor of ceremonies holding a pen to give lectures, but unfortunately last night because Emperor Jiajing played with his grandson too late, today he got up today.Rumor has it that the funeral ceremony will be postponed for an hour, so please wait and see!
Hearing this decree, everyone looked up at the white sun in the sky, and complained in their hearts.It's so hot today, if it's delayed by an hour, it will be fatal.

Zhou Nanli was bored there, remembering what Yuan Ge said for him yesterday, he felt that he should go over and thank him, and show his courtesy.

During these four days, Yuan Wei served the emperor as the emperor, so he was on duty in Xiyuan, the cabinet.

Zhou Nan asked for a leave of absence from the supervisor of ceremonies, and went straight to the cabinet to check the house.

Yuan Wei entered the palace at Maoshi today for the morning court, and rushed over after the court was over.It just so happened that the wedding ceremony was postponed for an hour, and he was about to hurry up and finish the official duties at hand.

Zhou Nan entered the guard's room and bowed: "I have seen the old man. If there was no old man who spoke yesterday, the next official would be in trouble. I am very grateful."

Our son of heaven is not a good servant, so it is hard to guarantee that there will be no demon moths in these three days.When it's critical, I ask you, the old man, to help Xu Jie out of face.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Wei suddenly pointed at Zhou Nan coldly and shouted: "Zhou Sizheng, what did I say yesterday, I just begged for trivial matters, and threatened my father, I can kill you. Why did you come to see the old man today?" ? You don't know how to reflect on yourself, and you still come to say such stupid things, someone, get this villain out."

Zhou Nan was kicked out of the room on duty. He only felt a great loss of face, and he was also confused.

This old man Yuan was obviously warm-hearted yesterday, but he turned his face today, so annoying.

A clerk who was on duty knew that Zhou Nan was Xu Jie's protégé, and told the truth: "Master Zhou, just now Xu Cifu came to be on duty, and he had a dispute with Mr. Yuan Ge, and they broke up unhappy."

Zhou Nan was curious in his heart: "I wish to hear about it." Then he stuffed an ingot of broken silver into it.

To put it bluntly, the book office is just a low-level civil servant in the cabinet, and everyone in the cabinet is a master, so even if he wants to cling to it, he can't cling to it.Because there are no factions, there is nothing to worry about when speaking.

Seeing Qian, he said in a low voice: "There is no chief assistant in the cabinet, and everyone wants to draft bills. Xu Cifu naturally refused, so he tore his face. Today there is a memorial in the local area. Please commend the merits of a county magistrate in Shanxi for its debt relief. That person He is a disciple of Yuan Ge, so he naturally wanted an award, so he drew up a ticket, and Xu Xiang directly rejected it."

Zhou Nan complained in his heart, Yuan Wei's quarrel with Xu Jie now must be blamed on me, the so-called Xu Xiangmen, plus the emperor who has a bad feeling for him and Zhu Yijun who is bent on doing bad things.

This mud horse can't work anymore.
