Li Ya bravely continued: "Your Majesty, even so, he is a person who has never had any political experience. He is appointed as the censor of the capital as soon as he comes. I am afraid he is not qualified for the job. Please make a new decision."
Chen Liuren immediately refused: "No need to say more, from now on, Zhang Ling will serve as the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Zhang Ling smiled smugly at Li Ya, laughing that what he did was ultimately not worth what the king and prime minister said after he reconciled.
Li Ya had a cold face and had nothing to say, so he had to reset.
Chen Liuren changed his dignity, looked at the civil servants, and said with a kind smile: "Zhang Aiqing, come and see, I have brought your grandson here."
An old official stepped out of the queue, looked at Zhang Ling with kind eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Ling'er!"
Zhang Ling was dismissive of this. He turned to Zhang Hongshan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, with a cold look in front of the main hall. He immediately changed his expression to complimentary and kind, and saluted, "Zhang Shangshu."
Just this statement from Zhang Shangshu chilled the old man's heart. However, Zhang Hongshan did not show any displeasure. He bowed to Chen Liuren and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for finding my grandson for me."
Chen Liuren stopped and said, "Okay, if you and your family have anything to talk about, we can talk about it back home. If you have nothing else to do today, please leave the court."
All the officials kowtowed and saluted. Chen Liuren followed the old eunuch and the emperor's disciples and walked down from behind the curtain. Most of the officials left together. They were chatting and laughing along the way, and made appointments to drink somewhere. There were a few unreasonable and rigid officials who were not polite. He paid attention to the chats with his colleagues, and also when he left alone. Generally speaking, compared with the lifelessness during the previous court meeting, the vitality was obviously rising.
Zhang Ling was also just starting out. Zhang Hongshan hurriedly came over. The joy of recognizing his relatives after a long absence immediately overwhelmed the old man. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhang Ling turned sideways and said: "Zhang Shangshu, is there anything else?"
A cold polite word once again made the old man shed tears. Zhang Hongshan blamed himself: "Ling'er, grandfather knows that you are angry. It must be because of what happened to your grandmother back then. Mingze is also because of this." The matter has always been brooding on my mind, and my grandfather regrets it, but what happened has happened, and I will not make any excuses. Go home, and as long as you are willing to come back, whatever you want my grandfather to do will do."
Zhang Ling suddenly had an idea and said: "I really want to trouble Mr. Shangshu with something, and it is about the Mo family. I hope you can relax and don't make it too difficult. Of course, I am asking for your help in this matter. Take it as your own responsibility. I owe you a favor.”
"Don't push yourself too hard just because your grandfather loves you. There is no room for intercession in state affairs."
Zhang Ling glanced behind him and saw a middle-aged official wearing a unicorn robe. According to the etiquette and what he said just now, he should be Zhang Qizhou, the Minister of War. According to seniority, he is Zhang Mingze's younger brother and Zhang Ling's second uncle. However, according to status, Zhang Qizhou was the legitimate son, while Zhang Mingze was the concubine.
However, it stands to reason that the son inherited the father's inheritance, and the two of them should work together. However, the reality is that Zhang Hongshan is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhang Qizhou is in the Ministry of War. Zhang Ling had also inspected it before. General Zhang Mingze became famous and was in the army. At the height of the sun, the general's younger brother had been very strong since he was a child and wanted to compete with his elder brother in everything. At the age of eighteen, he left Beijing without telling Zhang Hongshan and resolutely went to join the army. With his relatively first-class skills and With the knowledge in his heart, he quickly stood out in the army. Zhang Hongshan also knew that his two sons were in the army and couldn't help but sigh. However, in the end, he still allowed Zhang Qizhou to persist in his brother. Zhang Qizhou became a captain in three years on his own. Although he has been promoted rapidly, he has never been able to catch up with his elder brother. Whether it is merit or martial arts, Zhang Mingze broke through the first rank at the age of twenty-four, but he is still only the second rank until he is forty. Zhang Qizhou is not willing to lose to Zhang Mingze, even as a The general also took the lead in every battle and was the bravest of the three armies. His kills on the battlefield were second only to Zong Chentian. Later, the three armies spread the legend of "one army and two generals". Unfortunately, at that time, the scenery was just right and the hard work was right. When the war was prosperous, the news of Zhang Mingze's death came, and the entire Chen Kingdom was devastated. Zhang Qizhou also lost his morale. Later, both countries suffered heavy losses in that battle, and the war was suspended. Zhang Qizhou became the minister of the Ministry of War and has been staying in the capital. , feeling depressed, which was also the key to his delay in entering Xuanxuan. However, in his opinion, without the peak crown of pursuit, there is no point in improving martial arts.
Zhang Ling saw a face made of ice and couldn't help but think of Zong Chentian who couldn't move the coffin board. Both of them were so inhumane as if they were retreating.
Zhang Hongshan reprimanded: "Qizhou, we are all a family, why do you say such rude words? Zhang Ling, my grandfather will try his best to help the Mo family with what you said, but after all, it is a business matter, and grandfather should not be overly concerned." You are showing favoritism."
Zhang Ling cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, sir. I will definitely pay you a visit when you have time."
Zhang Ling quickened his pace. When a group of people saw that the family was in trouble, they hurriedly gathered around to chat. The gate of the huge palace pavilion was almost blocked. Zhang Ling was not afraid of open guns or villains. If these people got in the way, he would not be able to do it. If he did, he would kill someone, but Zhang Ling really didn't want to talk nonsense with these people. When he saw a person in front of him, he stepped forward and shouted: "Xie Shangshu, wait a moment."
The person in front of Zhang Ling who was stopped by Zhang Ling was Xie Dancheng, the Minister of Rites. He was middle-aged and heroic, and his pair of red phoenix eyes instantly made people feel that he was aloof. Xie Dancheng, who had always been honest and upright, only talked about business and not about fun. Naturally, he was just like this in the court. Alienated from others, he was a dignified minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. After retiring from the court, he left the palace alone. He never went to Goulan to listen to music with others. He had been an official for decades. Every time he retired from the court, he went home and stayed in the study. There were only a few Only close friends would occasionally interact with each other, and he was neither cold nor warm towards his only daughter, and the relationship at home could only be described as peaceful. This made Xie Feishuang, like him, not having any sisters in the boudoir since he was a child. He was fond of learning calligraphy and painting, and because of his appearance, The talent of a rare woman is getting more and more outstanding. She is well known by people without leaving home, and people come to propose marriage incessantly. Xie Dancheng cherishes daughters, and her daughter who looks down on her will naturally not agree, until she meets Jinming Lake A sharp-edged young man.
Xie Dancheng saluted and said: "Zhang Ling, that's not right! You should be called Zhang Du Yushi, congratulations! He is in a high position at such an age."
Zhang Ling returned the greeting and said, "Thank you, Shangshu, for your praise. I'm just taking advantage of my father's influence. I came here to talk to you about your love and my life."
Xie Dancheng said calmly: "I have only heard that the child is good, but I have never seen him. However, Xie has never valued a good match. As long as my daughter likes him, I have no objection."
Zhang Ling looked around and said with an apologetic smile, "Everyone is really happy about that. I will definitely ask him to visit me afterwards so that you can have a good look. I believe that you will never take it away."
Xie Dancheng chuckled and said, "The relationship between Zhang Ling and Ren Pingsheng is really good!"
Zhang Ling said calmly: "I and Sheng Sheng can be considered brothers with different surnames. Sheng Sheng has lost his parents since he was a child. I should worry more about his marriage."
Xie Dancheng praised: "Then you are really like an elder brother and a father!"
Zhang Lingde responded: "What your Excellency said is absolutely true."
Xie Dancheng: "..."
