First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 484

Bashu was pacified and the world was unified.

Even if you ask the princes of Yingtian, whether it is the Zhongshu Province or the Menxia Province, they will firmly tell you... the territory including Liaodong, the four counties of Han, Annan, and the Western Regions are all an inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty , are the foundations left by the ancestors, and an inch of land must not be lost.

But for the common people, within the Great Wall, the territory of the traditional Han family is unified, which is a real unity.Other places belong to the kind of incidental gifts, dispensable.

In fact, the big guy’s requirements are not high. As long as Zhao Song can get Yanyun back, even if he loses Yunnan, he will recognize it as a great unification... Why did you give me a chance, the Zhao family is useless!!

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Great Tang Dynasty fell apart. After Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty... For hundreds of years, this is a great unification re-led by the Han people in the Central Plains and the people of Huaxia.

Mixed mountains and rivers, the world is one!

It also coincides with the tenth year of His Majesty's Imperial Palace.

How can you not celebrate a happy event?

The good news traveled from Bashan and Shushui, across mountains and ridges, to Wuchang, along the Yangtze River, to Jiangzhou, to Yingtian... spread throughout the world.

Zhang Shuning, who was studying in Jimin Academy, unexpectedly also got a residence newspaper, which impressively wrote about Fu Youde's extermination of Xia.

Zhang Duning, who is eight years old this year, is a very eye-catching kid in Jimin Academy... This is not to say that he is high-profile, on the contrary, Zhang Duning wears common clothes and eats in the cafeteria, just like most children.

If you have to talk about the difference, it's that this child is too clean, and the clothes on his body are always spotless.

Furthermore, Zhang Duning's schoolbag contained many strange books, even the library of Jimin Academy couldn't compare with him.

It made a teacher come to borrow books from him.

In addition, Zhang Duning is clean and soft-spoken, but he is very skilled

Jimin Xuexue, as Zhang Ximeng's earliest comprehensive school, naturally teaches riding and archery skills here, but for ordinary people, riding and archery is still too far away, and they have no access to horses, let alone special needs. Bows and arrows made for kids.

So the big guys cherish the few opportunities for riding and archery lessons, and try their best to practice more... But no matter how hard the big guys try, Zhang Duning is a big devil they can't surpass!

In terms of other test scores, there are still a few people who can compete with Zhang Shuning, but in this area, they are absolutely far behind, and they will never be able to catch up

A kid who has a lot of book thieves and can ride and shoot... Many people speculate privately that Zhang Shuning's family conditions are not ordinary, and he is definitely a wealthy family.

But if you want to learn more, you will encounter seemingly non-existent resistance, and you can't ask at all.

The old couple who took care of Zhang Duning were also very ordinary. They bought vegetables and cooked every day, and took care of their children carefully.Occasionally sit and chat with other old people.

They know a lot of things, but once they asked about Zhang Duning and the situation at home, the old man would just laugh and say nothing

Over time, no one asked.

Zhang Duning was also very polite to teachers and neighbors, and would take the initiative to say hello... Generally speaking, this is a child from someone else's family with a little bit of mystery.

Zhang Shuning also enjoyed his student time very much. He met new friends here, one of them was the old soldier who gave him earthwork and healed his acclimatization.

The veteran usually runs a tavern. He does business very casually, and he also likes to drink.Occasionally, when I have a good chat with the guests, I will drink together, and then I will take the initiative to waive the order.

It is indeed difficult to make money in a business like his, and it would be good if he didn't even lose money.

Fortunately, as a veteran, he still has a subsidy and tax benefits.All in all, nothing wrong with it other than good wine.

He liked to talk about military affairs, and Zhang Shuning was the only child who could listen to him patiently. Veterans especially liked Zhang Shuning. He encouraged Zhang Shuning to take the martial arts exam and become a general after graduating from elementary school.

Zhang Duning just laughed it off and said nothing more.

The veteran has a daughter, this girl is the same age as Zhang Shuning, and the veteran also sent his daughter to study, which is different from many conservative parents.

He firmly believes that girls should study, even take the imperial examination, and become a high official... His daughter is indeed intelligent, but this girl's intelligence is different from what the veteran thinks.

She is good at mathematics. Before she met Zhang Shuning, she could memorize books such as Nine Chapters on Arithmetic. She knew all the books about arithmetic in the school.

When she was seven years old, the questions she often raised could make the teacher feel overwhelmed.

The big guys are both adored and terrified of this special girl.

But since Zhang Duning came, the girl didn't bother the teacher anymore, because she found that Zhang Duning also knows how to do arithmetic, and it's very advanced!

The girl felt that although Zhang Shuning was not as sharp as her, she must have read mathematics books that she had never read... So the girl said that she could help Zhang Shuning with work, homework, or catch fish... In short, she can use any method , in exchange for the book in Zhang Duning's hand.

For the girl's request, Zhang Shuning found it a little funny. In his opinion, the knowledge recorded in the books is true, but the knowledge of the books does not belong to the owner of the books.

As long as there is interest, he can provide it for free.

However, considering that books are very precious and cannot be lost, he took the initiative to invite the girl to come to his home to copy books.

This is also the only student who entered Zhang Duning's study.

After turning around, the girl told Zhang Duning seriously that she knew the value of these books, and she would not disclose any information to the outside world.She just came here to copy books, one hour at a time, after copying books, she would help clean up for two hours as a reward.

"Although I know that this matter is far from being able to offset the value of books, but I can only do so much now. When I grow up, I can double the compensation."

Zhang Shuning scratched his head, he was really confused, he didn't understand why this girl was so obsessed with the exchange of equal value... and she didn't want any compensation.

But Zhang Duning still respects her thirst for knowledge.

This girl can not only copy books from Zhang Shuning, but also read many newspapers that can only be read in big cities.Those newspapers that are not cheap, in Zhang Shuning's place, there are piles of bound volumes,

This is a treatment that is not available in the school, and the girl feels that Zhang Duning is a mysterious guy.

"You're not the prince, are you?"

"Prince? Why do you think so?" Zhang Duning was a little surprised. What does the prince look like? Jumping up and down, covered in muddy water, rude and savage, likes to fight, eats carrots and doesn't wash the mud... How can I be a prince?

What is this girl thinking?

"It's nothing. The biggest person I know is the emperor. I watched a play four years ago, which was the emperor's private interview in Weifu... If you are not the emperor, then you are the prince. Do you study in Weifu?"

This girl's guess is already very reliable.

But Zhang Duning shook his head resolutely, "No, absolutely not! My father is a book writer and I am the son of a bookseller. You know that writing books is very profitable. He has many friends who are in this business, so I There are so many books."

"Oh!" Although this girl is smart, she is too young, so she believed Zhang Shuning's nonsense, "Then will you become a bookseller in the future?"

"Probably not, because I want to teach."

"Teaching? I thought about it too...but I would rather make money, a lot of money."

"Make money? Why?" Zhang Shuning said very seriously; "Are you short of money? I can help you!" The girl shook her head and smiled wryly, "Can people who died five years ago be saved?" Zhang Shuning was stunned, "That's not money. fixed."

"No! As long as you have money at the time, it's fine! My father came back late, and he didn't save my mother's life. He burned a lot of treasures in front of my mother's grave... I don't think he should have done it. Those money It can save a lot of people!"

Zhang Shuning took a deep breath, he didn't know how to comfort a girl who lost her mother, so he just bowed his head and remained silent.

After a long while, the girl laughed through her tears and said again: "Do you know the home of the Prime Minister of Luo County not far away?

Zhang Shuning nodded, "Yes, his son has just entered elementary school this year, and I heard he is very smart." "Yes! That little guy is called Luo Shiqi! But I know that his surname is Yang, so he should be called Yang Shiqi!" "Yang Shiqi? Why is he Change your surname?" Zhang Shuning asked in surprise.

"His biological father died very early, and his mother took him to remarry, so he changed his stepfather's surname... During the Chinese New Year, the Luo family worshiped the ancestors, and Yang Shiqi also used clay to build a clay figurine. He hid outside to worship Said to be an ancestor of the Yang family. He is not very good at clay sculpture, so I helped him make clay figurines.

After the girl finished speaking, she asked again: "You, can you tell me that when his stepfather took him in, should his surname be Luo or Yang? Which one is greater?

Zhang Shuning was stunned, and subconsciously said: "I have to ask my father!"

"Father? Bookseller?" The girl was puzzled: "You mean your father is very knowledgeable, can you explain this question?"

Zhang Shuning nodded quickly, he was afraid that if he continued talking, his father's identity would be revealed. In fact, his father can not only explain this problem, but also set the rules!

Zhang Shuning didn't say much, but just sent the girl away, and also gave the girl a bucket of milk tea as a return gift for the rice cake she brought in the morning.

But after this incident, Zhang Shuning paid attention to Yang Shiqi.

This is a five-year-old child, and he is indeed far smarter than his peers... In Jiangxi, there are outstanding people, a good economic foundation, and every family studies, so naturally there are many talented youngsters.

Zhang Duning felt that he had chosen a very promising path.After he becomes a teacher, he will be able to acquire talents from all over the world and teach them. He will definitely be much happier than his father.

After all, it is really nerve-racking to indulge in simple government affairs all day long.

While Zhang Shuning was thinking, suddenly his grandparents came in, and they had a letter in their hands

"It was sent by your mother. His Majesty is celebrating Yuji's tenth year. No matter what, he wants you to return to Beijing. King Yan and the others have already arrived."

Zhang Shuning was stunned. He didn't want to affect his studies, and he didn't want to return to Yingtian so soon, but since it was written by his mother, it meant there was no room for negotiation. It would be great if it was written by his father, who can resist His Majesty's people!

Zhang Shuning thought for a while, then nodded and refused, but he had to ask for leave from his teacher and bid farewell to his good friend.

"Are you going to Yingtian? Then can you see Yingtian's play? Have you ever seen a lift?" The girl was very curious, asking like a cannonball.

Zhang Shuning said with a smile: "I have seen a lot of dramas, but Wu Datou went to Liangzhou, he should be in Yumen Pass, performing for soldiers, it is probably impossible to see him."

"Oh!" The girl was a little disappointed, "Well, are you coming back?" "Come back, as soon as a month!"

"Then can you tell me about Yingtian's play? I really want to know what it's like outside!"

Zhang Shuning pondered for a while, he wanted to say that the best way to see the outside world is to take a walk, but then he thought about it, how many people are qualified to come out?

For most people, being able to watch dramas and listen to lectures is almost the only way to learn about the outside world... After all, things like private visits on micro-services are learned from dramas.

"Okay, I will collect some story books for you to read."

Zhang Shuning agreed sadly, the girl left a sachet with a safe journey hidden in it, and left happily

She didn't know what kind of billion points Zhang Shuning said!

After saying goodbye to his friends, Zhang Shuning finally left the academy and returned to Yingtian.

It was only after he arrived in Yingtian that he realized that His Majesty would continue to confer a group of meritorious officials before the celebration. As Zhang Ximeng's eldest son, he would be conferred the crown prince.

"Mother, will it delay my child's studies?

Jiang Nan shook his head, "No, if it affects you, your father will not let His Majesty go!"

Chapter 674 The Insufficiency of Princess Zhu's Family

"The kid is relieved.

After Zhang Shuning nodded, he ran to look at his second brother, Zhang Chengtian, a bastard, was gnawing on the chicken leg, eating it deliciously.With such a good appetite, his body is naturally not bad. He has a tendency to become wider

Zhang Duning stared at his second younger brother carefully, up and down, carefully sizing him up and down, and felt more and more that the proportion of this boy's head and body was a bit wrong. Why is he so thick? It looks like a cotton bag!

Is the watermelon fine?

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhang Chengtian who was still eating violently, and shouted: "Go, come out with me!"

Then I saw the boss of the Zhang family driving the second child, running in the yard,

It is a bit reluctant to say that it is running.

Zhang Chengtian is not yet five years old, the little guy is indeed too mellow.The eldest brother left, and all the delicious food in the house fell into his stomach.

Believe it or not, Zhang Ximeng and Jiang Nan are both so busy, so they neglect to discipline them.

Zhang Shuning was very dissatisfied with this practice of stocking.

Their Zhang family members are all slender, no matter what, he can't just sit back and watch his second brother change the Zhang family's style of painting.

Moreover, Zhang Duning felt that the second younger brother was about to enter the elementary school, and needed to be educated, and gluttony was not an option.

So Zhang Shuning not only drove Zhang Chengtian out to exercise every day, but also found out his notes... Then Zhang Chengtian cried. At such a young age, he finally realized one thing, that there are bad people in the world!

The villain is called Zhang Duning!

Why do you run and read every day?

Can't you be a quiet foodie?

Then Zhang Duning invited a family method, a mottled bamboo stick, with dark red spots, like blood drops! It is said that this thing has a history.

Back then, His Majesty followed Mr. Zhang to study, and if he wrote or memorized the wrong words, he would be beaten.

The spots on it are dyed red by Lao Zhu's blood!

Obviously, this was nonsense. No matter how crazy Zhang Ximeng was, he didn't have the guts to physically punish Lao Zhu.

But this thing beat Zhu Ying before, now it's in Zhang Duning's hands, the elder brother is like a father, little guy, if you don't obey, I will pick you up!

Zhang Chengtian really wanted to resist, he cried and made trouble, but Zhang Shuning didn't care, and he took advantage of the few opportunities to complain to his parents... It's just that both of these couples have abnormal brain circuits.

Zhang Ximeng just listened patiently and never made any comments. No matter how much the little guy cried, he didn't care.

When she arrived at Jiang Nan's place, she thoughtfully prepared a bottle of Dieda wine for her second son, and told Zhang Shuning to remember to wipe it for his younger brother after the beating.

Zhang Chengtian cried.

In this way, he fell into the hands of the elder brother

Early in the day, wash clean, put on neat clothes, sit upright and read, then eat, go out to exercise, continue reading... Do not wipe your mouth with your sleeve, do not stain your clothes, do not allow two tubes of snot...

After a few days, Zhang Chengtian's body shape did not change much, but it was much cleaner and tidier.

In addition, he is white and fat, with exquisite facial features, and he looks a little like a little fairy when he dresses up.

No, on the fifth day Zhang Shuning entered Beijing, news spread from the palace that the two brothers were invited to the palace.
