MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 15 The cabinet ministers are in conflict, Xiaoge is an apprentice!
Chapter 15 Internal strife among cabinet ministers, the old teacher of Xiaoge!
"Han Puzhou! Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the Manchu officials?!"
Seeing this, Liu Yixuan was disappointed and jealous, so he jumped up and shouted.
Han Yu still replied: "I don't want to, the main reason is that this foot doesn't obey my orders!"
Gradually, accompanied by Liu Sheren, secretary of the cabinet, Han Yu disappeared from the place where the cabinet was located.
No matter how much Liu Yixuan yelled and scolded, he couldn't yell or scold Han Yu back.
"This is a conspiracy! It is impossible for him, Han Puzhou, to be unwilling."
Ye Xianggao said something to Liu Yixiu in a deep voice at this time, and said: "You still want him to resign to resist the order. If it were you, would you be willing to give up? We people, come to this point, Who doesn't want to stand on the top and see all the small mountains at a glance."
Liu Yixuan sat back on the chair angrily: "I never thought that Han Puzhou is a power-hungry person!"
"I don't know what kind of tricks this country's uncle will play. I really hope he can be more peaceful."
Ye Xianggao said this hysterically.
…
"Father-in-law, I don't know. In Xiyuan, there is only one cabinet and ceremonial supervision room. Who proposed it?"
Han Yu asked Wei Zhongxian after arriving in Xiyuan.
Wei Zhongxian did not hide anything in order to have a good relationship with Han Yu, and replied in a low voice: "Uncle Guo."
Han Yu nodded after hearing this, and thought to himself: "It seems that His Majesty did not choose the first assistant Ye Xianggao and the second assistant Liu Yixiu to be on duty in Xiyuan, but chose himself, which was also recommended by the uncle of the country. It's because I was the only cabinet minister who didn't come out to stop Uncle Guo from proving that the killing was poisonous, so Uncle Guo recommended me. But, having said that, the emperor really obeys Uncle Guo."
That night, after Han Yu left Xiyuan on duty and returned home, he called his son Han Gui who stayed by his side to take care of him, and told Han Gui that he might be recommended by Zhang Gui to be on duty in Xiyuan. Said, and enjoined:
"If you have nothing to do, go to the Guozhang's mansion to pay a visit. Now I can be on duty in Xiyuan, and the draft of the imperial ticket is all because of the recommendation of the uncle of the country. Since I have given this kindness, then seize this kindness and deepen this kindness." Affection."
"What's more, His Majesty is a person who values family affection. In order to stand out for his brother-in-law, he even dared to kill the officials. I will be dissatisfied with some officials when I enter Xiyuan, especially the officials of Ye and Liu's protégés. Once these officials impeach my Han family, if they can have a deeper relationship with the Guozhang's mansion, they can rely on more."
Han Gui nodded after listening: "Son, remember!"
…
"Han Gui?"
Zhang Gui took the post and gift list handed over by the doorman, and asked Zhang Guoji who was listening to "The Peony Pavilion": "Father, besides the emperor and empress, do we have any relatives or friends in the capital?"
Zhang Guoji replied: "No."
Zhang Gui then asked: "Then who is this Han Gui? There are also a lot of gifts, and the words on the gift list are densely written on two pages!"
"let me see."
Zhang Guoji hurriedly asked people to stop the play, thought carefully, and suddenly stood up: "This is the son of Han Ge's hometown! Don't neglect!"
Zhang Guoji asked someone to invite him in.
Not long after, Han Gui appeared in front of Zhang Guoji and Zhang Gui, and greeted Zhang Guoji and Zhang Gui respectfully.
Zhang Guoji also asked very politely: "I don't know why Xiaoge has come to Han Mansion all the time?"
Han Gui said with a smile: "The younger generation came here for nothing else. They built the pool house just for one thing. I heard that the opera troupe raised by your mansion has put on a new "Peony Pavilion". I don’t know if it’s convenient for the father-in-law and uncle of the country to raise ears?”
"It's convenient, it's naturally convenient, and it's being rehearsed."
Zhang Guoji asked someone to send a message to the troupe to start singing from the beginning.
Here, Zhang Guoji also took the initiative to ask Han Gui: "Old Xiaoge also likes to listen to operas?"
Han Gui replied: "The younger generation not only likes listening to operas, but also loves Luban's skills, which is average when it comes to reading."
Zhang Gui smiled after hearing this: "Old Xiaoge really likes Luban's skills?"
Han Gui got up and bowed back and said: "How dare I lie in front of the father-in-law and the uncle of the country, but the skill is not good. I heard that the uncle of the country is quite accomplished in this craftsmanship. Even the emperor said that the uncle of the country invented it." The new style of carriage is beneficial to the country and the people, but I would like to ask Uncle Guo for advice, it would be good if I can be recognized as Mr.
"He doesn't know anything. It's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. Mr. Xiaoge, don't be so flattering."
Zhang Guoji said hurriedly.
Zhang Gui said with a smile: "Since Mr. Xiaoge said so, why don't you worship me as a teacher, and I will accept Mr. Xiaoge as a student, and let Mr. Xiaoge do more things that benefit the country and the people in the future."
Han Gui heard what Zhang Gui said, grinned, without hesitation, and directly knelt down on the ground: "Please be kind and accept the disciple's worship!"
In the Ming Dynasty, the teacher was often called Ensuke.
That's why Han Gui called Zhang Guilai that way.
It's just that in the Ming Dynasty, recognizing a teacher was a very serious matter. Being a teacher for one day and being a father for life, Han Gui's doing so was considered more realistic, only for Mu Zhanggui's royal status and the power that the emperor valued , and do not hesitate to worship him as a teacher.
Therefore, Zhang Guoji couldn't help but slapped Zhang Gui's thigh lightly when Han Gui went home to get the gift of Xiu Xiu, and said in a low voice: "Let you talk too much, kid! Now it's all over, he really pretended to be on the water, and recognized you." Teacher, let's see how you end up! His father is an old man, and his family is a nobleman in the north, so the civil servants will think that you are going to work together!"
"Father, it's okay, the big deal is, my son really only teaches practical knowledge such as mathematics to Mr. Xiaoge. It's actually a good thing that I, Ming Ming, is the only one who knows these practical studies."
Zhang Gui said.
"Don't instigate him to do bad things!"
Zhang Guoji asked.
Zhang Guidao: "Don't worry, I won't trouble him to do bad things for me, and besides, he is the elder of Xiaoge, and he won't listen to me."
Zhang Guoji sighed: "Forget it! It's a good thing to have a good relationship with the gentry. In fact, it's not bad to know a teacher or a student."
Zhang Gui smiled slightly: "Father really understands! Friends, you need more friends."
At this time, another **** came to deliver an order, asking Zhang Gui to meet with His Majesty Xiyuan.
Not long after Zhang Gui went to Xiyuan, Han Gui came with the gift of Shuxiu. Seeing that Zhang Gui was not there, he asked Zhang Guoji, "Master, where did Enfu go?"
Zhang Guoji smiled and said: "Your Majesty summoned him and asked him to go to Xiyuan."
Han Gui nodded and said: "It's such a cold day, His Majesty still has to summon him, the holy family that Uncle Guo received is indeed grand and generous."
Zhang Guoji said: "It's not far away, it's just across a narrow alley, just cross it."
After hearing this, Han Gui smiled even more humbly: "That's right! The junior is now a student of the uncle of the country, and the father-in-law of the country is also the teacher of the junior. I don't know if the teacher has something for the junior to respect. The junior is so respectful." Order to do it?"
Zhang Guoji waved his hand: "Xiao Ge is too polite, I am a country man who is a Confucianist, and I have nothing to ask for your filial piety."
"Master, why should you be so polite?"
Han Gui said.
Zhang Guoji thought for a while, and suddenly said: "If you say that, I really have something to trouble Mr. Xiaoge."
"Master, if you want to mention the word trouble, you always say it bluntly, and you will definitely do what the younger generation can do."
Han Gui bowed and said with a smile.
Zhang Guoji said: "It's not troublesome, just that I want to tell Zhang Gui my wife, he has reached the age of marriage, and I also want to hug my grandson, so I don't know if Mr. Xiaoge knows if there is a suitable person to introduce her to you." , it is best for him to marry a daughter of a scholar."
In Zhang Guoji's view, it is indeed time for Zhang Gui to marry a wife to take care of him, otherwise he will save trouble every day.
