Lin Han was resolute and headed towards the street with his son.

…

…

Xiao Jing went to the palace gate with the news of being a matchmaker for Zhang Zhou and took Zhang Zhou into the palace with him.

"Why bother?"

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard about this.

In order to help him, the emperor was really willing to use his connections, even doing things like marrying Lin Han.

The problem is that Mr. Lin has such a high status in the academic world. Even if he marries his concubine to an ordinary scholar as his wife, he would not be willing to let his daughter become a concubine, right?

Xiao Jing smiled and said, "If His Majesty granted me the marriage, everything would be different."

Zhang Zhou smiled.

There is still Wang Mingshan's matter here that has not been settled, and the emperor is going to cause him more trouble than Lin Yi.

But think about it...

A man.

I say it's troublesome, but my body is still very honest. Thinking about it, I'm still a little excited.

I think of Lin Yi, that literary young woman who loved preaching and wanted to reason with others every time. She then became a concubine. She obviously wanted to argue with him but didn't dare to... and then let her wait on the embroidered couch to "serve him in bed".

"...Tsk, tsk.

"Mr. Zhang, today His Majesty wants you to come in to talk about matters in the East Palace." Xiao Jing said.

"Lectures? It's a little early, isn't it? I'm just a editor." Zhang Zhou said.

As a historian editor, I usually organize lectures for lecturers, which is a matter of pride, but I was actually asked to give lectures?

Xiao Jing said: "That's right. Your Majesty originally wanted to promote you as a minister directly, but Mr. Liu Ge said that doing so would mess up the rules. Your Majesty has discussed with Mr. Liu Ge and the others to make a compromise and let you first compile it with Hanlin.

Gong Jin said, I will promote you to the position of minister in a month or two, but I will give you some grievances first..."

Zhang Zhou wanted to say that if this was called grievance, then all the scholars in the world would probably end up in the ditch.

It is something that many people would envy.

"Your Majesty also said that you should strictly discipline the prince, and you don't have to show any mercy to the prince. He will be beaten when he deserves it, and he will be punished when he needs to be punished." Xiao Jing said.

Zhang Zhou heard that he was asked to discipline his son on behalf of the emperor.

But the problem is...

Your Majesty, that's your son, not my son. My son has no problem with fighting. If you don't like it, you can beat him first and then think of a reason.

If I beat your son casually and you say you support him, I'm afraid you'll feel very distressed in your heart, right?

If you don't want to fight yourself, let others do it?

When you are a parent, you will always have this ideal, but when you implement it, your thoughts will be different.

…

…

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

When Zhu Youtang met with Zhang Zhou, he looked very happy. Instead of talking about teaching the prince, he first took out the memorial that Zhu Feng had given to the emperor after arriving in Ningyuan, explaining the preparations for the war in Ningyuan.

"... Zhijie is a kid who knows how to get things done. Within two days of his arrival, he has already made arrangements in an impressive manner. Even Zhang Yong and Chen Rui praised him. Even Ren Liang and the others thought that I had chosen a capable person to come over... …”

Zhu Youtang looked very proud, and seemed to be proud that he had made the right choice.

Zhang Zhou frowned secretly when he heard this.

Your Majesty, you can't hear the good words, can you? Those people really think Zhu Feng is a capable person?

They basically know that you elected him. Even if Zhu Feng is a idiot, they will blow Zhu Feng’s rainbow fart in front of you, which is indirectly flattering you.

Do you still need me to explain this to you?

"The deadline for Di Yi's invasion is approaching, and I have high hopes for Duo. If Zhi Jie can lead his troops to Ningyuan and deliver another good news, the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful and peaceful. I estimate that in the next one or two years, I will not have to worry about the border people anymore. Worry about things."

"But it doesn't matter if you think about it, after all, you are here."

Zhu Youtang had a look of expectation on his face.

Zhang Zhou was also embarrassed to undermine Zhu Youtang's self-confidence.

There are many factions in the grassland, and the situation in the grassland has not been good in the past two years. The grass is not fat and the horses are not strong, but the appetite of the hungry wolves in the grassland is not small. If Wang Weining has not died, there may be some confidence.

Then you can ask me to predict when and where there will be an enemy situation... With the existence of the butterfly effect, it is no longer possible to control it in real time. We can only rely on the soldiers on the border to adapt to the situation and fight in a bloody battle.

"Bingkuan, the Empress Dowager wants to help you with the matchmaking, have you told me?" Zhu Youtang said with a smile.

The emperor was also very considerate. He did not ask Zhang Zhou about becoming his son's teacher first, but asked Zhang Zhou about the matter first.

Zhang Zhou cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will embarrass Lin Jijiu."

Zhu Youtang sighed: "I have asked people to search for the daughter of Linji Restaurant. She is good in talent, education and appearance, but she is a commoner. If it is the Empress Dowager who mediates the matchmaking and I personally provide the title, I don't think there is any unfair treatment. .On the contrary, it is a kind of favor."

The general meaning is that you, Lin Han, are the daughter of a concubine, so why would you want someone else to marry someone else as a matchmaker?

Don't you know that a wealthy family is unwilling to marry you?

"Bingkuan, in fact, this is also to pave the way for you to serve as an official in the court in the future. Lin Jijiu is old and frail, and he may not be able to stay in the Imperial College for long. My original idea was to transfer him to Nanjing... He has been in the Sixth Department in the North of Beijing. It is difficult to make room for him. But if we are to marry you, I will keep him in the capital no matter what."

Zhu Youtang showed his kindness to Zhang Zhou and gave Lin Han a chance.

No matter how awesome you, Lin Han, are, there is still a gap between you and the mainstream civil service system of the dynasty. You are now the right assistant minister of the Imperial Academy's Liquor and Ceremony Department. If you want to go further, you can only go to Nanjing to become a minister.

Historically, it was in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi that Lin Han was transferred to Nanjing as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

But Nanjing... is just a place to raise idle people. A Nanjing official minister is not even close to the official minister of the capital in terms of authority. In the end, Lin Han became a minister of the Nanjing military department and counselor of machine maintenance. This is better than the Nanjing official official minister. better.

After all, among the six ministries in Nanjing, only the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs have some authority.

But now the emperor also said that if Lin Han knew each other and married Zhang Zhou, it would appear that Lin Han was leading Zhang Zhou, but in fact it was Zhang Zhou who was leading Lin Han to take off. No matter what the emperor did, even if he knew he had offended Liu Jian and others, If he disrupts the order of the officialdom in the capital, he will be given a chancellor from the Northern Sixth Department.

"Bingkuan, I am helping you as well as him." Zhu Youtang sighed.

The emperor means.

Dear brother Bingkuan, do you think my brother is helping you?

As for Lin Han...if he knows how to marry you, then I will help him. If he doesn't know how to marry you, then I have no reason to help him. Basically, he can leave for Nanjing as early as possible.

"It's hard for me to say." Zhang Zhou smiled bitterly.

In fact, it depends on what Lin Han thinks.

Zhang Zhou also knew that if he told Lin Han clearly that if you marry me, you can become the six ministers of the capital, Lin Han would definitely sneer and say that he doesn't need it.

But does Lin Han really don’t need it?

After serving as an official all his life, why should a highly respected old scholar with good abilities have no choice but to become a minister in Nanjing? Who doesn’t want to stay in the capital for greater development?

Zhang Zhou can probably understand.

The emperor regarded Zhang Zhou as his own faction and began to crowd in around him.

Lin Han was the first.

"I won't let you say it, I will tell him personally." Zhu Youtang said, "You don't have to worry about this. Even if Lin Jijiu is not good at it, you can still discuss it with others. This is not a famous lady in the capital. This is the only one..."

Zhang Zhou was quite surprised.

It seems that the emperor is very determined to help him get married and pursue an official career.

This made Zhang Zhou feel embarrassed.

"There is one more thing. I want you to come to the palace early to tell the prince. This child is too noisy. No one except you can make him concentrate on studying. I didn't discuss this matter with you in advance. I’m afraid you’ll be in trouble.”

Zhu Youtang was a little embarrassed to mention this.

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, I am a minister, and I won the first prize in the exam. Isn’t that just to do this kind of thing? What else do you want to discuss with me?

When a decree comes down, I have to do it even if I don’t want to do it.

"Your Majesty, this is my duty." Zhang Zhou said.

"Don't say that to Bingkuan. Your military strategy is for governing and safeguarding the country. Teaching the prince is overqualified for you. If you don't like teaching the prince, tell me at any time and I will make other arrangements for you. Errands. You may be very busy in the next period of time, and you will be required to participate in morning meetings..."

The emperor was embarrassed not only by asking Zhang Zhou to become Zhu Houzhao's teacher.

According to Zhu Youtang, you have already been selected as Jinshi. From now on, it will be your duty to join the imperial court and participate in government affairs. You may even serve as my staff in the future... You will have to shoulder all kinds of tasks alone.

You, Zhang Bingkuan, may be more tired than the chief minister.

Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty, you appreciate me so much, but it makes me feel a little embarrassed."

"No!" Zhu Youtang heard that Zhang Zhou was embarrassed, so he quickly walked out from behind the desk and stood together in front of Zhang Zhou.

"Bingkuan, I treat you as a friend. You don't always have to treat yourself as a minister of the Ming Dynasty. You and I can talk freely. Go to the Royal Garden with me today. I have something to ask you about health care."

"In addition, when we have dinner in the palace, I will ask the prince and the queen to go to the empress dowager...she is a matchmaker for you, you should also thank her..."
