The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 216

As soon as Zhang Tingyu came back, most people were unhappy, and the first one who was unhappy was Zhao Shenqiao.

Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of Zuodu, was the one who confronted Dai Mingshi, Zhang Tingyu's protégé. His son was Zhao Xiongzhao, the number one scholar in the 48th year of Kangxi. The academician in charge is also embarrassing Dai Mingshi in the Imperial Academy.

Speaking of it, Dai Mingshi was unlucky, if he wasn't Zhang Tingyu's protégé, maybe no one would make things difficult for him after he won the second place.

It's just that without Zhang Tingyu, he might not have come to take the imperial examination at all, and naturally it would be impossible to have the fame he has today.

Some people say that he is "Old Mr. Zhang who succeeds, and Mr. Zhang who loses", but he is here to ridicule Dai Mingshi.

This year, Zhao Shenqiao had a high possibility of being selected as the chief examiner of the chief executive officer, but he didn't expect Zhang Tingyu to come back before the year, so the matter was a little hanging.

Many people were already anxious when Zhang Tingyu first entered the palace to thank him. They were so anxious before the new year, and they didn't know what they would look like after the new year.

Zhang Tingyu had just been suspended as a servant at the Sixth Department. Kangxi just came back and met him in the Qianqing Palace. He only said that he should resume his walking position in the Sipin South Study Room first, go back and have a good year, and we will talk about the rest in the coming year.

An urgent order called someone from Tongcheng, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong now, but Zhang Tingyu didn't understand.

He had just arrived in the capital, and hadn't even entered the house, so he followed the rules and went to the palace to renew the order, and now he hurried back home again.

Among the eunuchs I saw on the way, there were a few familiar ones, all of whom were beaming with joy because of the New Year's Eve in the palace.

Seeing that he was about to leave the palace gate, Li Guangdi chased after him: "Oh, my old waist and cold legs almost didn't keep up with you. What do you think you are doing so fast?"

Zhang Tingyu didn't expect that there would be someone chasing after him, so he was taken aback. Li Guangdi is quite old, why did he follow him up: "You just order a little eunuch to come up and call me, won't it be enough?"

"Hey, tell them to chase, or do you want you to wait? No difference, no difference."

As Li Guangdi spoke, he let out a sigh of relief and left the palace with Zhang Tingyu.

Looking at Zhang Tingyu's white hair, Li Guangdi couldn't help sighing: "When your father left..."

"There is no pain..." Zhang Tingyu knew that Li Guangdi and Zhang Ying were colleagues, so he said slowly, "I have also brought you the local tea from Tongcheng in recent years. Tingyu's craftsmanship is not as good as that of my father. You Just drink to your heart's content."

"It's kept every year, alas..." Li Guangdi sighed, "It's not the right time for you to come back. If it's two years later, the court will be at peace. You just came back recently. Tomorrow you will come to my house and bring you It's okay for your wife to come together, I have to tell you that right now...the court is very chaotic."

The reason why Li Guangdi came in such a hurry was because he was afraid that someone would try to win over Zhang Tingyu immediately. How many ministers would be on pins and needles when he restored the crown prince?

At that time, when they supported the abolition of the crown prince and the establishment of the eighth prince, many ministers expressed their opinions. How could they have thought that the emperor would restore the crown prince after turning around?In this way, the crown prince will definitely hold a grudge against these people. Those courtiers who want to establish the eighth prince and other princes are violating Kangxi's taboo.

For a while, it was said that these people were not human inside and out, the emperor and prince were offended, and some people were frightened and sick.

The two came out by the river, and Li Guangdi said as he walked: "Although we never discuss the matter of discussing the prince, the prince has become more and more absurd recently. Sex... How did the prince in the early years become like this?"

The original prince, whether among foreigners or Hanchens, had a very good reputation.

It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, and even if Li Guangdi had a hundred thoughts, he would never have imagined that it would develop into the current situation.

Zhang Tingyu had actually heard a lot of things in Tongcheng, he said: "There are rumors in the south of the Yangtze River that the prince sent people down to recruit beautiful women from the people... He even raised a lot of faces outside the palace... It seems that These are not rumors."

"Oh, I don't know why, this heart is rotten."

It was desolate to say the least, Li Guangdi let out a long sigh, and walked outside with Zhang Tingyu.

"Looking at the situation in the court, I, an old man, can't understand it, and I don't know what kind of evil it is."

No one will understand it, because they are all in the game, and all they can do is fight.

Maybe fight and fight, and finally become a winner?

So everyone is fighting for that little bit of hope.

Zhang Tingyu and Li Guangdi didn't talk for long, the most important thing was the matter of the chief examiner. Li Guangdi focused on the conflict between Dai Mingshi and Zhao Xiongzhao, and asked Zhang Tingyu to be more careful.It's just that Zhao Shenqiao is Li Guangdi's protégé after all, so he can't say too much.

On Zhang Tingyu's side, of course, I would like to thank Li Guang for saying so much.

After all, there is some news that ordinary people can't know.

Although Li Guangdi was old, he had been waiting in the South Study Room. If even Li Guangdi didn't know what was going on in Kangxi's mind, then no one knew.

After Zhang Tingyu bid farewell to Li Guangdi, he went back to the Zhang residence.

There are always people looking after Zhang's mansion in the capital, and there are still many maids and servants in the mansion. When Zhang Tingyu came back from the palace, the mansion was almost tidied up.

Sister Xiang and Brother Lin were still young when they left the capital, and they were both four years old when they came back. They were curious about everything in the Zhang Mansion in the capital. Fortunately, Brother Ai, who was very energetic, took them to look around. Otherwise, Gu Huaixiu really didn't have the energy to take care of them.

When I came back from Tongcheng, I brought some things with me and asked people to bring gifts to the various prefectures. At the same time, many people came to give gifts.

This naturally includes Sun Lianqiao, but she hasn't come yet, because they just came back today and they are busy with work, so they will wait until tomorrow to see, and it is not very good to visit at the end of the year.

Although the brothers are not together, the New Year is still to be celebrated. Hang up red lanterns, paste couplets, and put a peach charm, and it looks complete.

Busy for most of the day, the husband and wife have time to talk when they rest at night.

During the day, Zhang Tingyu was busy with socializing, and tidying up his study. He wrote a lot of things and read a lot of books when he was in Tongcheng, and brought them with him when he came back.

In the warm room at night, Gu Huaishu was too tired to walk, and suddenly lay back on the bed in the capital, feeling a little insomnia.

When Zhang Tingyu lay on the bed, she only asked: "I haven't heard you talk about the affairs in the palace yet, did the emperor summon you to see anything wrong? I can't let go..."

"Restore the walking position of the South Study Room, but the other posts are temporarily not moving. Who knows what the emperor is thinking? Besides, the current situation in the court is not clear, but this incident can be used to see clearly." Because people are far away. In Tongcheng, Zhang Tingyu is not sure whether the people he fostered at the beginning still belong to him.

Zhang Tingyu was not sure what was going on in the Hanlin Academy.

If it is true that once back in the capital, there will be a lot of troubles, Zhang Tingyu put the quilt on her body, and said: "Go to sleep tonight, and we will talk about things after the New Year."

Zhang Tingyu this evening probably wouldn't have imagined that the incident happened just before the end of this year.

His existence was too much of a threat to others.

For example, Ba Ye Yinhu.

As long as there is Zhang Tingyu in the Hanlin Academy, others will start to panic.

Dai Mingshi is Zhang Tingyu's protégé, he came to see Zhang Tingyu the next day, and he felt a little ashamed to see Zhang Tingyu.

Back then in this hall, Zhang Tingyu said that he was the number one scholar, and he even put his answer sheet ahead of the number one scholar Shi Yunjin. As a result, Dai Mingshi only got the second place in 48. Today, when he came to see Zhang Tingyu, he really felt that There is no light.

Zhang Tingyu only told him to sit down, but he felt that he should not have praised him like this back then, so that he was laughed at today.

Dai Mingshi himself is open-minded: "Seeing my husband come back now, the students don't have to worry about anything. Since I met my husband in 45, I met Bole, and the second place is already a good thing. Students never expected so much. What's more, the students have already won the membership."

Zhang Tingyu was the chief examiner of the examination back then, and Dai Mingshi naturally won the Huiyuan under the circumstances of Zhang Tingyu and Dingyou, but he was not selected as the number one scholar in the palace examination.

In the end it was Zhao Shenqiao who was disgusting, and his son Zhao Xiongzhao was not a good guy either.

Zhang Tingyu, the talent of Dai Mingshi, is very clear. If Dai Mingshi can be promoted, it can be said that his future is limitless.

Zhang Tingyu comforted him and said: "Throughout the years, very few of the members of the Dingjia can really become great talents, because the starting point is too high. The word Jia is too sharp, and the wood will be destroyed by the forest wind... It may not be a bad thing to come down. On the contrary. It's Zhao Shenqiao's son Zhao Xiongzhao..."

It is still unknown what kind of person Zhao Xiongzhao is, so Zhang Tingyu can't jump to conclusions.

To Zhang Tingyu, Dai Mingshi is full of admiration, like a younger generation treating an elder.

Although Zhang Tingyu is still young compared to others, compared with Li Guangdi, who is in his late [-]s, he is even too young.But Dai Mingshi has always been a teacher to Zhang Tingyu, doing something when he is unrestrained, but he never dared to be like that before.

After all, he still looks like a celebrity.

When Gu Huaishu came, he only looked at Dai Mingshi's back from a distance, and knew that it was Zhang Tingyu's disciple who came to see him.

"Why didn't you see any of your other disciples come to see you?" She asked as soon as she entered.

Zhang Tingyu was sitting with a look of emotion on his face.

"Although there are many disciples, how many of them still remember after seeing each other for three years? Some of them posted a post, saying that they will pay homage after a year. As for the others..."

As Zhang Tingyu said, he shook his head, with a look that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words.

Why doesn't Gu Huaishu understand?
If not all left, at least they all started to wait and see. Few people know what Zhang Tingyu's situation is now.Now only the walking position in the South Study Room has been restored, but the original title of assistant minister has not been given, and the position in the Imperial Academy has not been given back. other people.

Three years back, apart from old best friends, there are really very few people who come and go.

It is worth mentioning that the old man Tong Guowei actually sent someone to deliver things to Zhang Tingyu, which made Zhang Tingyu dumbfounded, remembering the incident of pigs and sheep back then; besides Tong Guowei, Nian Gengyao's gift was also quite intriguing.

All the presents were small gifts, after all Zhang Tingyu came back after three years away, Kangxi Cha was not afraid.

When Gu Huaishu knew that Nian Gengyao was giving gifts, she felt a little subtle. She had an intuition that Nian Gengyao should be giving gifts because everyone was working under the fourth master.

It's just that he doesn't know how much Nian Gengyao knows.

Thinking about these things, Gu Huaishu felt a little headache.

"It's good to have these three years, at least you can see clearly who can hand in and who can't."

"Zhou Daoxin will be transferred back next year. There are still a lot of acquaintances in Beijing, but I heard that you have received a lot of invitations?"

Zhang Tingyu looked at her with a smile in his eyes, very teasing.

"My wife's popularity is much better than mine."

What he said was so acidic, doesn't Gu Huaishu understand him? "It is estimated that everyone wants to know what is going on with you from my mouth. I heard that the prince was punished by the emperor last year, and some members of the prince's party were impeached by others and dismissed. Everyone wants to see Which way are you going... I really don't want to read any of these posts."

At the beginning, others thought that Zhang Tingyu was an idiot, but now no one knows what happened. It still depends on what Zhang Tingyu means, so everyone can make a decision before making a move.

What's more, as soon as Zhang Tingyu came back, it meant that the 51-year competition for the chief executive was full of suspense.

"Thank you for working hard for a while, but I heard that they are all postings after the next year. This year, I can still live a peaceful year. The crown prince is restored... It really makes me sleepless."

Back then outside the Great Wall, it was impossible to say that Zhang Tingyu had never cheated the prince.

When Kangxi asked the princes and ministers to report the crown prince, Zhang Tingyu did not do anything wrong, but he only returned to Ding You within half a year, and he was reinstated...

Now, Zhang Tingyu naturally wants Kangxi to abolish the prince again.

Make a decision before acting, one is for others, and the other is for Zhang Tingyu, it is all applicable.

Just after I finished saying "I can have a good year this year", someone from the back palace came to pass the decree, saying that there was something to let Zhang Tingyu enter the palace.

The eunuch who announced the decree came in, his face was not very good.

Zhang Tingyu also noticed it, knelt down together with Gu Huaishu to receive the order, and later gave the Xuanzhi eunuch a hard-earned sum of money, he couldn't help asking: "Eunuch, does the emperor know that Xuanchen entered the palace, what's the matter?"

The rice paper eunuch took the money, but shook his head: "I don't know what it is, but Mr. Zhao is here."

"Which Mr. Zhao?" Zhang Tingyu narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Zhao Shenqiao, the censor of Zuodu?"

"That's right, it's this one. I don't know what he's doing when he enters the palace during the New Year's Eve. He has seen the emperor, and the emperor called our family to announce the decree. Mr. Zhang, please."

The eunuch was quite kind, so at least he gave Zhang Tingyu a few words.

Zhao Shenqiao?
Seeing that Zhang Tingyu was going to change clothes, Gu Huaishu was a little worried and anxious, "You...then Zhao Yushi must have bad intentions. You just returned to the capital, and he came to report. He has no grievances or enmities, most likely because of Dai Mingshi's incident..."

"If you don't go, you can't do it. Soldiers will come and cover you with water and soil."

Zhang Tingyu squeezed her hand, but his face was already gloomy.

This day was the second day Zhang Tingyu returned to the capital. He followed the eunuch into the palace, and Sun Lianqiao had already visited the mansion later.

Brother Ai saw that Gu Huaixiu was still tidying up in the room, so he hurried in and said, "When my son came over just now, he saw Aunt Qing Dai leading his aunt to see, is my cousin coming too?"

"Your cousin won't come, but you can go to your Uncle Shifang's now and bring some pastries..."

Now Gu Huaishu is still in a daze, as long as she thinks of the eunuch's decree in the palace, she will be terrified. She didn't pay attention to picking up the things on the table with her left hand, and took a red pen to make a mark on the ledger. Wait a while After seeing Sun Lianqiao, she came back and continued to settle the score.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruoai looked at Gu Huaixiu's right hand, and suddenly said: "Mother, you used the wrong hand, why is it the same as taking brother??"

Before Gu Huaixiu had time to put down his pen, he was stunned when he heard Zhang Ruoai's words.

After a long time, she raised her head, as if she didn't hear what Zhang Ruoai said before, "What did you just say?"

Zhang Ruoai just felt strange: "My son said that he also likes to use his left hand, but it seems that he has changed to use his right hand..."

He looked at his mother, and felt that Gu Huaixiu's complexion was not very good, so he asked: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Huaishu forced a smile, and said: "It's okay...Mother is just confused and took the wrong hand. You go to your Uncle Shi Fang to get the pastries..."

Not knowing how to finish the sentence, Gu Huaishu stared at the lake pen in his left hand when he saw Zhang Ruoai left, and suddenly became inexplicably irritable.

This matter is too sensitive.

One is sensitive, and the other is left-handed.

If it wasn't for the fact that Shen Yang lied to her in the past, she might not have felt the subtlety.

Shen take...

left handed?
Why is it him?
