Zhu Youtang was almost angry to death.
He regarded Li Guang as his master, but Li Guang treated him as a guinea pig? Dare you give the emperor a prescription of unknown origin? This guy doesn't even know how to make elixirs?
Seeing this situation, Dai Yi was afraid that the emperor's values would be distorted, which would create some psychological shadow, so he quickly asked: "Could it be that these people deliberately poured dirty water on Li Guang in order to escape guilt?"
"okay!"
Zhu Youtang said, "I am not ignorant of right from wrong. People are dead, so why bother about them? What else did Bingkuan say?"
Now Zhu Youtang has completely understood that it doesn't matter whether Li Guang dies or not. People cannot be resurrected after death, so it is better to focus on the living.
Dai Yi said: "Back to Your Majesty, I took Zhang Jieyuan to the fire scene and asked him to check it. He said that there was no reason for the fire scene. He only said that we should pay attention to it when rebuilding."
"Oh? But we need to open an altar and re-select the location of the palace?"
Zhu Youtang asked.
Even Chen Kuan and Dai Yi pricked up their ears. If that were the case, Zhang Zhou would have gone through too much trouble. Changing the orientation of the palace and other issues would also bring a lot of trouble. Just like repairing the Yuxiu Pavilion, after a lot of trouble, Zhang Zhou may really become the second Li Guang.
Others would criticize Zhang Zhou for things like changing the layout of the palace.
Of course they could think of it, how could Zhang Zhou not worry about it?
Change shit.
I'm not an engineer, nor am I a master of metaphysics, and I don't seek to have you treat me as a semi-immortal.
How you made it before and how you still make it now, I only care about how to make money!
Xiao Jing said: "Zhang Jieyuan said that you should be careful when choosing materials. You should set fire to prevent moths. He also said that it should be in line with heaven's secrets... Your Majesty, these are his exact words."
Xiao Jing was also afraid that what he said was too nonsense, so he deliberately emphasized that this is what Zhang Zhou said.
What kind of secrets are there? How can I, a palace official, understand this?
Your Majesty, if you have any questions, let "professionals" like Zhang Zhou answer them.
Zhu Youtang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Many buildings in the palace, especially Qingning Palace, even if they were renovated before, the load-bearing pattern of the beams has not been changed. Many of the timbers have long aged, and a bolt of lightning can trigger a fire. The fire, it seems that Bingkuan really noticed the real thing."
Several eunuchs were ashamed after hearing this.
Now this "Bingkuan" has really become a favorite, a popular person in the eyes of the emperor. I'm afraid Zhang Bingkuan farts, your majesty, you can say it is delicious, right?
Dai Yi asked: "Your Majesty, will Qingning Palace be renovated?"
Zhu Youtang said: "This is natural. Let Bingkuan be responsible for the reconstruction."
Dai Yi quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jieyuan is outside the palace after all. The reconstruction of the palace is probably..."
Zhu Youtang looked unhappy and said: "Don't we need craftsmen from outside the palace to rebuild the palace? They can enter the palace, but they can't just lift people? It's not like he is allowed to walk in the inner garden, and you are required to teach me how to do things?"
Dai Yi was taught such a lesson and quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
"This fire is a warning from God to me, so I should respond. If I want to issue an edict to sin against myself, how should I write it... I want to hear Bingkuan's opinion."
"..."
The three ceremonial supervisors and eunuchs were speechless.
It is unreasonable to let Zhang Zhou be responsible for the construction of Qingning Palace. Now, even if the emperor issues an edict to punish himself, he has to listen to Zhang Zhou?
Is Zhang Zhou an alchemist or a Hanlin scholar?
How can he be involved in making imperial edicts?
"Xiao Jing, go to his house and ask questions for me." Zhu Youtang said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Jing suddenly remembered something and added, "Your Majesty, Zhang Jieyuan also proposed...his house..."
Zhu Youtang's face was quite solemn. When he heard this, he was angry and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. He sighed: "I can also see that he doesn't stick to trivial things in his work, and he often asks for some words to express his disapproval. It's easy for words to cause war. He is neither a Jinshi nor famous, so you should always pay attention and don't let anyone cause trouble with him."
The three eunuchs thought to themselves, Your Majesty, you have also seen it?
I really feel the same way.
Although that boy was polite to us after entering the palace, he always liked to make fun of things inside and outside the palace, and his laughter was not formal at all.
Although he is not offensive, I feel that this boy is very different from a serious scholar.
Neither of them can be called serious people.
"The house he wants should be decorated and it must be close to the palace gate."
Zhu Youtang also emphasized at the end.
This is actually to tell these people that I will use him often in the future. It is best if someone can be on call and don't make me wait too long.
"Yes." Xiao Jing respectfully accepted the order.
…
…
Zhang Zhou rode the carriage prepared for him by the imperial horse supervisor, driven by Sun Shangqi himself, and returned to the gate of the courtyard where he lived.
Knock on the door and enter the courtyard.
Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing were still drying clothes in the yard. They were some of their daughter's clothes. They washed them and dried them while the sun was shining.
"Madam, are you so busy? Hurry up and pack up. Don't hang here. Guests will come later." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.
Jiang Pingyu looked at her husband in confusion.
Han Qing, who was standing next to him, asked, "Sir, have you finished the matter of entering the Imperial Academy?"
Zhang Zhou casually picked up the water gourd, scooped water from the bucket and put it into his mouth, then cursed and said: "I don't know where I offended the Imperial College priest, and he deliberately tried to prevent me from enrolling, but that's all That’s not the point. Pack it up, we’re moving again!”
"move place?"
Now Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing stared at each other.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "How come you two have such a tacit understanding? We haven't met before."
Han Qing probably thought of something, and with a red face, he held the tub and put away the clothes he had just hung up.
Jiang Pingyu asked: "Husband, what is going on?"
Zhang Zhou said: "Don't talk about this yet, where is that boy Zhang Jun? Come out!"
"Xiaojun, my father's name is 伱!"
Jiang Pingyu called out, and then Zhang Jun walked out secretly, as if he had done something wrong.
In the past, he still didn't respect this father enough. There was a grudge between father and son. In addition, Zhang Zhou failed to live up to expectations in the past and lost all his family property. The son had a problem with his father from the bottom of his heart.
But things are different now... Zhang Zhou's family has a high status, and carrying him is like carrying a chicken. When he sees his father coming back, he will hide whenever he can.
"Dad. I didn't make any mistakes. I have been helping my mother these two days." Zhang Jun said pitifully.
Zhang Zhou grinned, but Zhang Jun was dumbfounded and confused.
Is this the calm before the storm?
"You boy, you are capable now. Come here, come here!" Zhang Zhou sat on the edge of the well and waved to Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun was afraid that Zhang Zhou was trying to lure the snake out of its hole, so he took small steps and got closer to Zhang Zhou, but was finally pulled over by Zhang Zhou.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Why don't you do it! My father is just telling you, son, you are awesome now, even more awesome than your father. My father has earned you a thousand households of royal guards! Are you happy?"
"..."
Zhang Jun doesn't know what Jinyiwei Qianhu means, let alone what it means.
Jiang Pingyu, who was standing next to her, was startled by the sound of "Ah" and reminded: "Husband, please don't talk nonsense.?"
Zhang Zhou continued to grin, as if he was drunk and bragging, and continued to say words that were unbelievable to Jiang Pingyu: "I have done a few things for His Majesty, and His Majesty was very satisfied with me, so he gave me a royal guard." Thousands of households, tell me to protect my son."
"Xiaojun, if you study hard in the future and pass the examination to be a Jinshi, I will leave it to your brother to be the Imperial Guard Qianhu. If you can't do it, then you can be the one."
Zhang Jundao: "Dad, what does Jinyiwei Qianhu mean? Also, I don't have a younger brother."
"You will have it in the future." Zhang Zhou said, looking up at Jiang Pingyu, who looked dull and dull. "I say, madam, you have to work hard. I am getting more and more positions, and I am not enough. .”
Han Qing also came out with her daughter after hearing this. She asked Jiang Pingyu: "Madam, what is the Qianhu of the Jinyiwei? Is it the Qianhu of the military household? I heard that the Qianhu are all masters who lead the army and are passed down from generation to generation. "
Jiang Pingyu said: "I...I don't know, but the Jinyiwei...can casually destroy a family and destroy it..."
Zhang Zhou couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Jin Yiwei is a violent machine that does all evil in the Ming Dynasty. It is no wonder that Jiang Pingyu was both unbelievable and scared when she heard that Jin Yiwei had thousands of households. She actually had no expression of surprise.
Zhang Zhou said: "Actually, only the thousand households of the Fourteenth House of Jinyiwei are serious and powerful, and can show off their power. In fact, there are at least dozens or hundreds of people in the thousand households of Jinyiwei, and most of them are honorary positions, empty posts, and salary, so The next step is to bring back Qianhu Jinyiwei, who wants to earn a real job for the family... But the problem is, even if he earns it back, no one will take it. From now on, those who should study at home will study, and those who should have children will have children... This is the big plan for the development of the family. .”
"Husband, what's going on? I... I don't quite understand. Jin Yi Wei Qian Hu, that's a very big official who can't even look up to him. The people will kneel down when they see you. Why did you give it to... Xiaojun?"
After all, this was a major matter related to Jiang Pingyu's children, and Jiang Pingyu wanted to verify it in detail.
"It's hard to explain in detail. Even if I work for the emperor, Qianhu, the fifth-rank Jinyiwei, should not think that he is awesome. Zhu Feng, who came earlier, saw it, right? He is also a Jinyiwei Qianhu, and he still has a real job. Look at him like that Son, do you think you can destroy someone's family?"
Han Qing, who was standing by, said with a drunken look on his face: "Sister, what the master said is true, right? The young master...has become a Qianhu!?"
"You think I'm going to lie to you, right? Just wait, someone from the palace will definitely come before noon. Then you will know if my husband has lied to you! Hey, it's almost noon."
"Dad, I don't want to be a thousand households, I want to be the number one scholar!"
"Bah! Your father and I haven't become the number one scholar yet. How many Chinese characters do you know? If you don't want to be, your younger brothers will all rush to be the top pick in the future. Where is your younger brother?"
Zhang Zhou said, reaching out to pull Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing, but Han Qing easily dodged them. Only Jiang Pingyu was stunned and was immediately taken into Zhang Zhou's arms.
There was a knock at the door, and Sun Shangqi's voice also sounded: "Mr. Zhang, don't go out yet. I just got the news that the factory owner, Eunuch Xiao, will be coming soon and has something important to discuss with you." …”
Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "See? Mr. Dongchang, are you awesome? You should come to my door in person to talk to me. Hurry up and pack up and prepare to welcome guests."
"Master, I'll go right away."
Jiang Pingyu seemed to feel a huge imbalance of power, like a frightened chicken. She was at a loss what to do and looked unnatural. However, she began to secretly laugh. She didn't want to reveal it too much to her husband to avoid being laughed at.
He bowed to Zhang Zhou Pingting and quickly took Han Qing to clean up and prepare for the guests.
