Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 122 This is a Demon Mirror
Just after the court meeting in the East Pavilion ended, Shao Zhi stopped Chen Yunfu outside the hall.

"My son-in-law, come home tonight, we two will discuss your marriage with Ning'er."

Chen Yunfu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, I will rush over when the child is off duty."

If Shao Zhi didn't talk about this matter today, Chen Yunfu might really have forgotten that this year is the year he will marry Shao Ning, but he has been so busy that he forgot to set the date.

If it was done according to the rules, it would not be Chen Yunfu's turn to set the date, after all, it was the order of his parents.

Since Chen Yunfu didn't have a high court, Shao Zhi could decide when to do it.

However, since ancient times, even in later generations, there is another unwritten rule that everyone abides by, which is called contingency.

The literal meaning is expediency and response, and to put it bluntly, it means everything is subject to power.

When his daughter will leave the cabinet, Shao Zhi now has to respect Chen Yunfu's opinion.

I have never heard of any rules in this world being imposed on the emperor. If there are, it can only mean that the emperor is not enough 'emperor'.

When the Ministry of Rituals formulated the etiquette of the palace, they dared not make their own decisions even though they had ten courages. Every day, they almost wished they could live in the palace and ask Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions early and report late.

It was after Zhu Yuanzhang nodded that the rules were called the rules, and when they were added to the descendants of later generations, they became the ancestral system, and they could not be broken.

Of course, Chen Yunfu was not the emperor, and his power was even worse. Speaking of which, Shao Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was ranked above Chen Yunfu.

Old Shao gave Chen Yunfu face here, and letting Chen Yunfu come to be the family is just a way of expressing his position.

Because Chen Yunfu didn't have a 'home', let alone any family members. After marrying Shao Ning, the Shao family became Chen Yunfu's home. In other words, Shao Zhi deliberately pushed Chen Yunfu to stand up as the head of the family.

From then on, Chen Yunfu had to take care of and protect Shao Ziheng, not just respond to the situation.

This is why Chen Yunfu was taken aback when he heard it, and then replied solemnly.

He wanted to say, 'Let everything be arranged by your father-in-law', but the meaning changed to 'Arrange the affairs of your old Shao's family yourself, I will not get involved. '

Yu Li talked about the past, but Yu Qing was a little unfamiliar.

Since Shao Zhi praised him, Chen Yunfu simply followed up.

Sending off the old father-in-law, Chen Yunfu paced around for a while, then walked back to Wenyuan Pavilion, and at the same time sent someone out of the palace to call Hu Sizong over.

"What are the orders of the Grand Maester?"

"Bo Yuan is here, sit down."

Chen Yunfu signaled Hu Sizong to take a seat, and then took out the "Abolishing Corvettes and Restoring Shangshu" to the latter, and explained.

"The court meeting has passed. Except for the abolition of corvee, the other three items should be established as soon as possible, and then we will pick a time, and we will discuss with the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple where to start implementing them."

"The abolition of the corvee has not passed?" Hu Sizong was obviously taken aback, looking extremely surprised.

In this "Abolition of Corvettes and Restoration of Business", the real core point is the abolition of corvees. Abolition of corvees can be regarded as the first benevolent government in thousands of years. Chen Yunfu did not keep such a great reputation and achievements. pass?

"Well, there are things that are not considered." Chen Yunfu smiled slightly and said: "Xu Butang from the Ministry of Industry pointed out the shortcomings, so he rejected this article."

"OK then."

Hu Sizong originally wanted to say a few words to defend Chen Yunfu, but then he thought of his own Pin Yi, so he stopped the words and honestly took the memorial.

"The next official will go back and make arrangements for the establishment of this project."

"You go." From the beginning to the end, Chen Yunfu was smiling, showing no sign of disappointment. It was not until Hu Sizong left that the smile on Chen Yunfu's face gradually disappeared.

It's definitely not incompetent sulking, but caught in some kind of thinking.

"This first move is considered a fall, where should the second step go?"

"Zhu Biao is indeed a benevolent gentleman with an open-minded personality. Only when he is in power can I act boldly. Unlike now, I have to put in effort."

"Xu Ben has some abilities, so he can consider reuse."

"Yu Lun is an old subordinate of my father-in-law. He knows how to repay his kindness and has a clear-cut banner. He can be used."

"Ge Xunzhan looked forward and backward, just like everyone else, he was a double-faced man, and he had to be kicked out sooner or later."

"As for Zhan Hui."

Chen Yunfu was thinking in his heart, and the corner of his mouth provoked a disdainful sarcasm: "Do you want to show your presence or be a sounding board?"

"It's just the remnants of the Huaixi Party."

"Huh~"

Shaking his head lightly, Chen Yunfu withdrew his mind and began to deal with the accumulated files in Wenyuan Pavilion.

On the other hand, Shao Zhi returned to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for an hour and then went back home. As soon as he entered the house, he called his son Shao Ziheng into the study.

"father?"

Still holding a volume of books in his hand, Shao Ziheng followed into the study with doubts on his face: "Didn't you say that you are going to hold the Nine Ministers' court meeting today? Why did you come back so soon?"

"Yes, the court discussion is over." Shao Zhi nodded, then raised his chin slightly and said, "Sit."

Shao Ziheng sat down obediently, straightened his back properly, and waited for Shao Zhi's next words.

"How is your homework recently? Chun Wei is about to start, are you confident?"

"Back to my father, the boy is very confident."

"That's good." Shao Zhi nodded in satisfaction: "After the end of the Spring Festival, you can be regarded as entering the official career. Dad has never had time to test you. Today, I took the time to come back today to talk to you."

Shao Ziheng was even more cautious: "Please teach me, my lord father."

"I can't talk about teaching. Your father almost lost his mind today. Come on, take a look at this first."

Shao Zhi took out "Abolishing Corvettes and Restoring Business Books" and put it on the table, and said, "This is the matter discussed by the Jiuqing court today. You can read it and tell Dad what you think after reading it."

Shao Ziheng took the memorial, and his heart trembled just by looking at the five words on the cover, and he was even more shocked after reading it.

Just looked up to speak.

"Read it first, and then talk about it."

Shao Ziheng took a deep breath and lowered his head to watch again.

After a while, Fang raised his head and exclaimed: "My child is astonished, astonished as a heavenly being."

"Don't be in a hurry to praise your brother-in-law." Shao Zhi lowered his eyes, sipped tea and asked, "If you are one of the nine officials, today's court discussion, do you support it?"

"Of course I support it."

Shao Ziheng said without hesitation: "The abolition of corvees is a benevolent government that has never been seen in the ages. Once it is promulgated, the Kyushu will celebrate together and all people will inherit the shade."

"Everyone knows what you said. What Dad asked you is not a literal thing." Shao Zhi said solemnly: "Now you have to try to stand in the position of a courtier and look at this book instead of ordinary people."

Shao Ziheng could only frowned and thought for a while, but he still looked up helplessly and said blankly.

"The child is stupid. I really can't see anything else. I only know that it is a great good thing."

Shao Zhi sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, it is impossible for everyone to be Chen Yunfu.

Not to mention Chen Yunfu, his own son is now even inferior to Xu Ben.

That's right, Tiantian and Chen Yunfu were officials in the same court, so the demands on Shao Ziheng were inevitably too high.

"This is a demon mirror."

Shao Zhi pointed at the book on the table and laughed.

"Demon Mirror?" Shao Ziheng blinked, confused.

After a good melody, how could it become a demon mirror?
