Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

The General Secretary of the Ming Dynasty had great power at the beginning of the founding of the country, but after numerous reforms, the power of the General Secretary was greatly restricted.

The Secretary of General Administration has also changed from a cabinet-like structure at the founding of the country to a nursing home.On weekdays, he is only responsible for cashiering the emperor's orders, understanding the situation, investigating and coordinating official documents of customs and defense, reporting to the subjects of the four directions, making appeals, military situations, disasters and other matters.

It seems that there are many things, but in the final analysis, it is just a secretarial organization that issues orders from the bottom.The problem is that the emperor's secretarial agency has its own Imperial Academy and the Supervisor of Rituals, and the Secretary of General Affairs is not visible at all.

Up to now, this place has become a large reception room, raising a group of officials who have lost their power, and it is almost a nursing home.

In the capital, there are still several nursing homes like this.For example, Qin Tianjian, where officials watch soldiers during the day and stars at night.However, from time to time, people still make some things like celestial phenomena and induction between heaven and man to show their existence to the emperor, which is much better than you, the Secretary of General Affairs who is in charge of sending and receiving.

Entering the General Administration Department can basically declare your political death sentence.

The book offices laughed heartily. To be honest, their non-violent and non-cooperative attitude towards Mr. Wu was just to give Wu Shiqi and Su Mu a bad impression at first.In the big case of Liu Kong and corruption of ink last time, dozens of people were arrested in Yansi, and many of them were old friends and acquaintances.

It can be said that Su Mu and Master Wu had some feuds.

But I don't want to, Su Mu's administrative ability is too powerful, one person actually managed to maintain the entire transfer to keep the government office.

I have to admit that many people in the yamen admire Su Mu quite a lot.

If this situation continues, I'm afraid people's hearts will go to Wu Shiqi and Mei Fugui's side.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu was finally transferred this time, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

So, when Gu Run proposed to find Mei Fugui and tell the news, everyone excitedly followed, fearing that they would miss this opportunity to slap her face.

Su Mu couldn't help shaking his head: This group of people have read the sage books for so many years in vain, especially Young Master Gu, they are too narrow-minded!With such a pattern, it's no wonder that these few people can only dawdling in the office of the secretary in Yansi, but Gu Run is going to be sent to the capital to be a son-in-law?

A son-in-law is so easy to do, as long as he is sent, his whole life will be ruined.

Su Mu smiled lightly, and asked Gu Run, "Do you sympathize with me?"

Gu Run smiled and said nothing, his sarcasm was even stronger.

At this time, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums from the other side of the street. Looking up, a group of people wearing red and hanging colors was parading, and then a group of children shouted: "We have a son-in-law in Cangzhou, we have a son-in-law!"

In front of the line are two waiters on horseback, holding flower baskets in their hands, throwing pieces of candy down.

The children cheered and rushed forward to fight for it.

Su Mu suddenly laughed, if not mistaken, this is probably the team sent by the imperial court to propose marriage.What a grand and happy event for the royal family to marry a princess. Naturally, it is necessary to swim a few laps in Cangzhou City and have fun with the people.

Gu Run probably still doesn't know anything.

"What are you laughing at?" The scholars in the room were not interested in the bustle outside, but Gu Run was irritated by Su Mu's smile.

Su Mu took a deep look at the two strong Godzilla-like women standing behind Taikang, and then looked at Gu Run sympathetically: "I sympathize with you."

"What?" Gu Run asked.

"I sympathize with you!" Su Mu's voice became louder, and he sighed: "Mr. Gu, your biggest problem is that you are not broad-minded. The so-called character determines your destiny. You are too nonsense. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, it is too much for the whole family." It's useless, and if you don't do it well, it will bring unexpected dangers to everyone. Because of this, in the face of the family's interests, you, the third son, are destined to be sacrificed."

"Who are you, you dare to teach me such a lesson, you should take care of yourself first!" Gu Run was so angry that his complexion was livid: "Say some insane and crazy things, is it because the weather is getting colder, the wind and cold are entering the body, and you are dizzy? Wu My lord is about to leave Cangzhou, seeing that you will have no food or clothing, what right do you have to sympathize with me?"

Having said that, Gu Sangong suddenly remembered that Mei Fugui had made a fortune from salt tickets, even if he didn't do anything from now on, it would be enough for him to live for eight lifetimes.Without food and clothing, I can't get along with him no matter what.

The sympathy in Su Mu's eyes became stronger, "I heard something from Mr. Wu a few days ago, and I found it very interesting. It is related to your Gu family, and it can be regarded as a great opportunity for the Gu family. If it is done, you can protect your descendants Three generations of wealth."

Su Mu's words aroused the curiosity of Gu Run and the others, and they couldn't help but ask, "What a great opportunity."

Su Mu: "It is said that the current Empress Dowager Cisheng is from Xingji, and the ancestors of the Zhang family and the grandfather of Third Young Master Gu were classmates."

A scholar asked Gu Run: "Yi Yu, is this true?"

Gu Run was a little proud: "I heard from my father that it has something to do with the royal family, so it's not easy to tell the outside world."

"Oh, I didn't expect the Gu family to have such a relationship with the Queen Mother Zhang's family." Several scholars all took a deep breath.

Gu Run became even more elated.

But Su Mu's next words condensed his description: "Today, the emperor has a younger sister named His Highness Taikang, who is about fifteen years old and is waiting for her husband. When I choose a son-in-law for the royal family, most of them choose the scholarly family of middle-level families. , but will not marry the honored world. Coupled with the relationship between Queen Mother Zhang and the Gu family, so..."

Su Mu prolonged his voice on purpose.

Several scholars couldn't help asking in surprise: "So what?"

Su Mu: "So, Empress Dowager Zhang intends to choose an unmarried young master from the Gu family to be the royal son-in-law."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Gu Run.

Gu Run's face turned pale, and he shouted, "You fart!"

Su Mu: "There are three sons in the Gu family. The eldest and second son are already married. After all, there are only three sons. Thinking about it, that team must have been sent by the imperial court to give us a marriage." When he said a word, Gu Run scolded A "Fart!"

By the end, it was exhausted.

Seeing that Gu was in a hurry, a book office tried to persuade him, "Brother Yiyu, this nonsense surnamed Mei is deliberately trying to anger you!"

"Yes, yes, it must be." Gu Run's complexion finally returned to normal: "Mei Fugui, you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth, and I was almost deceived by you."

Su Mu pointed at the pair of parades, and said: "They will come over soon, when the time comes, you can ask yourself, don't you know?"

While talking, the team finally arrived at the door, and in an instant, the noise came like a tide.

A scholar came to the door and asked loudly, "Brother Tolerance, which family's son did the imperial court choose to be the son-in-law?"

The leading official replied with a smile: "Who else can it be? The queen mother heard that Gu Run, the third son of the Gu family, is outstanding in learning and high in moral character, so she graciously approved this marriage. We came here this time to deliver a decree for the marriage for the queen mother and her elders. Just wait until the national mourning period is over, and invite the third son to Beijing to get married."

"Ah!" Everyone in the room shouted at the same time.

Third Young Master Gu even felt as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, he slumped down on the chair and shouted: "How is it possible, how is it possible?"
