"I have written down everything Mr. Zhang said and will definitely consider it carefully!"
Zhang Qiqian slowly raised his hands and clasped his fists, "Thank you, Duke! The Duke is the backbone of the Ming Dynasty, the hero who protects the country! After the Ming Dynasty, many things will depend on the Duke. If the Duke doesn't know who to recommend, you can ask your father. After discussion, Mr. Zhao has been honest throughout his life and is a benchmark for all our officials!"
"I will!" Zhao Xuanyi said seriously.
"Please forgive me for my sins on behalf of the prince, saying that I can't help him anymore!"
Zhao Xuanyi stood up slowly and nodded slightly, "I've written it down, so I won't disturb Master Zhang. You have a good rest!"
"Send it to the Duke!" Zhang Qiqian said weakly.
Zhao Xuanyi and Nan Zhu walked out of the room and saw Zhang Lu standing outside. Zhao Xuanyi nodded slightly. Zhang Lu bowed deeply to Zhao Xuanyi and said, "Thank you, Lord!"
Zhao Xuanyi said nothing and walked out of the backyard with Nanzhu. When passing by the front hall, he did not look at the people in the hall. Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself that Zhang Qiqian has seen through these people. There is no one he can inherit with confidence, and there is probably no good thing. ! .Ь.
Although he was not familiar with Zhang Qiqian, after several days of conversations, Zhao Xuanyi felt a lot. Maybe Zhang Qiqian also wanted to be as innocent as his father, but how could he be left to his own devices when he was in the world? He probably also wanted to give the imperial court an innocent position as minister before he died!
Zhao Xuanyi walked out of the mansion, sighed, and turned around with Nan Zhu to get into the carriage. As soon as Zhao Xuanyi stepped onto the carriage, a mournful cry came from behind, "Master Zhang is riding a crane to the west!"
"..." Zhao Xuanyi was stunned on the spot and turned to look at the door of the mansion in surprise. He saw all the servants in the mansion kneeling down to see Zhang Qiqian off! Zhao Xuanyi opened his mouth and looked confused!
It's not that he has never seen dead people, nor has he ever experienced parting, but today's parting made him feel so sudden that he had no time to prepare! The person who was talking to me just now suddenly left this world!
"Duke?" Nanzhu said softly.
"Ah, it's okay!" Zhao Xuanyi said a little disappointed. At this moment, Zhao Xuanyi didn't know what he was feeling, and he felt inexplicably sad!
After Zhao Xuanyi entered the carriage, he did not let Shen Wei drive away. Instead, he sat for a while. In Zhang's mansion, people seemed to be preparing. Not long after, white cloths were hung in the mansion to prepare the mourning hall. Everything was so peaceful. nature.
"My lord, aren't we leaving?" Nanzhu asked.
"I'll give Mr. Zhang a stick of incense, and then let's go!"
"good!"
Zhao Xuanyi got out of the car for the second time and walked into the hall. At this moment, Liu Jie and the others had already put on white mourning cloths. They knelt in front of the coffin one by one and whispered. When they saw Zhao Xuanyi coming, everyone's eyes became very serious. complex!
Zhao Xuanyi actually knew what they were thinking. Zhang Qiqian only saw himself before he died. They must be thinking, what did Zhang Qiqian say before he died? In other words, they want to know who Zhang Qiqian appointed to take over the position of Minister before his death!
Zhao Xuanyi didn't speak, and didn't want to see this group of people. Nanzhu went to burn incense and delivered it to Zhao Xuanyi. Zhao Xuanyi walked to the incense burner and bowed deeply after lighting the incense. Then he looked at Zhang Lu, but didn't say anything. Nod!
Zhang Lu knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you so much, Lord!"
Zhao Xuanyi turned around and walked out of the hall with Nan Zhu, and left the Zhang family under everyone's gaze!
After Zhao Xuanyi left the Zhang family, he felt a little confused. "Nanzhu, you go back to Tayunxuan first and tell the eldest princess about this!"
"Yes! Don't be too burdened, Lord!" Nan Zhu patted the back of Zhao Xuanyi's hand after saying that, turned around and walked out of the car, jumped off the carriage and walked towards Ta Yunxuan!
While driving the car, Shen Wei asked, "Young Master, shall we go home?"
"No, go to father's house!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei shook the reins and drove away!
Arriving at Zhao Mingqing's house, Xu Yuchan was very happy when she heard that her son was here. She hurried to the front hall. When she saw Zhao Xuanyi, she smiled and said, "Son, you are here!"
"Mother, my son wishes you well!" Zhao Xuanyi saluted! xь.
"Get up quickly! Son
Zi, you are not at home with that girl Ziyuan, why are you here? "
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhao Mingqing, "Father, my son has something to tell you!"
When Zhao Mingqing heard this, he coughed lightly, "Damn it, my son is here. Go and ask Coyotito to buy a piece of meat and cook two dishes. My son and I will have two drinks!"
"Yes!" Xu Yuchan guessed that the father and son had something to say, so they turned and left!
After Zhao Mingqing sat down, Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand, "Sit down!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi sat down obediently!
"Is something wrong?"
"Master Zhang Qiqian Zhang... just passed away!"
After Zhao Mingqing heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "How did you know?"
"After the morning session today, Mr. Zhang sent a letter to me, asking me to go to his house. I just went there, said a few words, and then left. But as soon as I left the house, news of Mr. Zhang's death came! After I offered incense, I came to my father!"
After Zhao Mingqing heard this, he sighed, "Did Mr. Zhang say something?"
Zhao Xuanyi told Zhao Mingqing everything Zhang Qiqian said to him. After Zhao Mingqing heard it, he sighed and said nothing!
"Father and son would like to ask, in father's mind, is there any candidate for minister?"
Zhao Mingqing shook his head, "I can't say!"
"Why?"
"Everyone with enough status has his own plan! The talented ones are often white men! The reason why the six departments are complicated is because most of the officials are relatives of the emperor. To put it bluntly, the Minister of Rites will not fall into the trap of subordinates. Hand!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "In this situation, what can father do?"
"You!"
"Me?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Master Zhang only spoke to you when he was leaving. I guess they are all guessing now, what did Master Zhang say to you? Did he recommend them to the top, or did he give them excuses? Son, you are Chrysostom now! One word can determine life or death, so remember to think twice before speaking!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he nodded quickly, "My son understands!"
Soon after, Coyotito served four dishes, a stewed meat, a plate of fried cabbage, a pickled radish pickle, and a scrambled egg! This is considered rich for Zhao Mingqing!
Zhao Xuanyi poured wine for Zhao Mingqing himself, "Father please!"
Zhao Mingqing did not drink, but picked up the wine glass, raised it above his head, and then sprinkled it on the ground! Zhao Xuanyi also spilled the glass of wine on the ground as a tribute to Master Zhang!
"What? Zhang Qiqian died?" Zhu Yuejun asked in surprise.
"Yes! And when we parted, I only said those words to the Lord Protector!"
Zhu Yuejun shook his head, "It's not as simple as these few words now! I guess other people's guesses are just wild imagination! Send out the Moon Guards immediately to secretly protect Yilang. It is estimated that there will be no peace around him in the past two days!"
"yes!"
"Also! Report this matter to the Crown Prince immediately!"
"Yes, then... the eldest princess, the position of Minister of Rites?"
"There's no rush! We still have one night to wait until tomorrow morning for the prince to pass on the order!"
"Understood!" Nanzhu turned and left!
Zhu Yuejun was sitting on the beauty's couch, covering her forehead with one hand. It was like one wave after another. At this critical moment, if an old minister was lost, the newly peaceful court might be in trouble again!
After Zhao Xuanyi had a few drinks at his father's place, he took the car home. Just as he returned to the front yard, he saw Hackney walking over. When she saw Zhao Xuanyi, her face was full of anxiety, "Brother-in-law, you are back!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and pinched Hackney's cheek, "What? Miss your brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law, stop making trouble and go to the front hall and have a look! I don't know what happened just now, but someone suddenly sent invitations. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen invitations were sent. My sister is busy in the hall!"
"Oh?" Zhao Xuanyi walked quickly to the hall. After entering, he saw Tang Rou holding the child in one hand and holding the invitation in the other hand.
Take a look! Even Zhao Mingxian was holding an invitation in his hand!
"Husband, you are back!" Tang Rou smiled with relief when she saw that Zhao Xuanyi was back!
Zhao Xuanyi nodded and hugged Zhao Mingxian over, "Son, did you miss me?"
"Hahaha!" Zhao Mingxian laughed when he saw his father!
