Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 704 Behind the Scenery

Li Jing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he gave Zhu Huiyu a thumbs up: "Madam, if everyone can accept this idea, and the court allows officials to take their families to the post, and solves the problem of officials being filial to their parents, then change the time of Ding Youshou system There will be much less resistance."

Zhu Huiling said with a smile: "Master, I'm overwhelmed. What I say is nothing more than a woman's opinion. If I can help the master, it is my honor."

Li Jing shook his head with a smile, poured a glass of wine for Zhu Huiyu and said, "What Madam said just now is not a woman's opinion, but a true insight. I said before that if you were a man, you would be a generation of outstanding people. It's a pity, a pity! Come, let me offer you a toast."

"The master toasts, I don't dare to be a concubine, I should respect the master as a concubine." Zhu Huitian laughed.

Li Jing waved his hand with a smile, raised his wine glass to Zhu Huiling, and drank it down in one gulp.

Li Jing waved his hand with a smile, raised his wine glass to Zhu Huiling, and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhu Huiling smiled and raised his wine glass to accompany him.

At this moment, Shen Ying laughed lightly and said: "Oh, my concubine came late, and the two of you secretly drank together."

Li Jing smiled and said: "Just now Huilai gave me a good idea and solved my boss's problem, so I just offered Huilao a glass of wine.

To say that whenever I encounter a problem that I can't solve, as long as I go home, you can always help me find a solution. How lucky is Li Jingde's wife!Come, madam, I would like to offer you a toast for my husband, thank you for your support over the years. "

As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine for Shen Yingyi, then filled his own glass, raised his glass to Shen Ying, and drank it up.

Shen Ying picked up the wine glass, looked at Li Jing affectionately, and said, "Master, you are an upright hero and a real man. I am so lucky to be your wife. Master, I respect you."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ying raised her wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Putting down the wine glass, Shen Ying said slowly: "Master, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Madam, please tell me." Li Jing said.

Shen Ying continued: "Master, when I was preparing clothes for Anguo just now, I suddenly thought, once Uncle Chen passes away, what standard do you think we should arrange for Uncle Chen's funeral?
Although Uncle Chen didn't have much credit, but when the master started his family, he was helped by Uncle Chen. In a crisis in Jinniuling and a crisis in Hongshanling, it was Uncle Chen who turned the tide.

Uncle Chen even handed over his two sons to the master. These two uncles, Dahu and Erhu, can be said to have worked for the master over the years. With the merits of the two uncles, the concubine thought that it was not too much to confer a marquis on Uncle Chen. "

"Madam's words are very true. In fact, I had this idea two years ago, but I forgot about it. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will ask the emperor to grant Uncle Chen a title and Marquis. Chen Dahu and Chen Erhu will also be named marquises. In this way, even if Uncle Chen is gone, he won't have anything to think about." Li Jing said solemnly.

"Master, there are three princes from one family, this reward is a little too much." Zhu Huiyu said suddenly.

Li Jing shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with it, the Chen family can afford these three marquises."

Seeing Zhu Huiyu's mouth squirmed, Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Huiyu, I know what you want to say. You are afraid that the ministers in the court will object to such a heavy reward. But even if you object, I have to send their The title is up for grabs."

As he said that, Li Jing filled his wine glass, held it up and looked at it silently for a while, and then continued: "I know that if I do this, many people will say that I miss the old love and abandon the public for personal reasons.

Madam said just now that Uncle Chen doesn't seem to have much credit, but without Uncle Chen, we would not be where we are today, and even Madam would have died back then. With this credit, I have to give Uncle Chen a Marquis.

If someone says that I neglect the public because of personal interests, just say so. In fact, most of the time, I am a nepotism. "

After speaking, Li Jing raised his glass and drank it down.

Looking at the wine glass silently, Li Jing sighed lightly, and then continued: "Actually, I can't help it, if I don't need people close to me, many government orders can't be implemented at all.

Many people think that I am very beautiful, have more power than the emperor, say what I say, and keep what I say.

In fact, things are not what they seem at all.

They don't know that there are countless people in the court who don't agree with my decree, and local officials are even more resistant to my decree.

You should know the virtues of the officials of Ming Dynasty. If I don’t arrange people close to them to watch them, they have plenty of ways to shirk me.

Why have I been so tired all these years?Because I spent most of my time fighting with those officials, including my wife's father, Yuan Shu and others.Hey, you can't think of it, can you? "

Sighing lightly, Li Jing poured another glass of wine and sighed after drinking it all: "I'm not saying that my father-in-law and others are against me, they are against the decrees I promulgated that they don't understand, in order to prevent I enforced those decrees, and they once rallied against me.

Only Chen Dahu and Liu Erleng carried out my orders thoroughly.There is an old saying that goes well, brothers who fight tigers, fathers and sons who fight tigers.You say, I don't rely on whom they rely on?
Some people say that Chen Dahu and Liu Erleng are rough and uneducated?To say that I appointed the two of them as chief envoys and even the governor is to lose face of Daming.

But when it comes to governing the country, these two big bastards are much better than those educated people.

What is learning?In my opinion, being able to do things clearly is knowledge.

As for saying that these two are big bosses, hehe, I am also a big boss, so I don't know how to say those polite words.But so what?People can understand what I say, but some people can't understand those words, so what's the use of saying those words?

You have never heard me say that I am an official, and I call myself like this, hehe, you can't think of how many people have mentioned this to me, saying that I don't pay attention to official authority and decency.

Am I acting as the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty to show off my authority and to be decent?I want to talk about decent, isn't it more decent to be an emperor?In terms of official prestige, is there anything more majestic than the emperor?
I was born as a commoner, and I used to be a bandit. I don't want to be an emperor or a prince. I just want to make Ming Dynasty strong and the common people rich.Unfortunately, few people understand what I mean. "

Speaking of which, Li Jingchang sighed.

Shen Ying silently filled Li Jing's wine glass, and then said softly: "I understand the master's ambition, and I also know the depression in the master's heart, but the master has never said these things to the concubine before, and the concubine does not know how to relieve it." master.

Today, the master said these thoughts to my concubine and others, and my heart is really happy.

The concubine will not talk about the words of the master, I just want to say that the master is a man, even if he is not understood, there should be the determination of thousands of people to go to him.Master, I offer you a toast. "

Li Jing took the wine glass and patted Shen Ying's hand lightly: "Good wife!"

He raised his glass and drank it all, Li Jing said loudly: "Madam's words are absolutely true, when a man is born in this world, he should have the arrogance of thousands of people to go to him."

Shen Ying smiled, waved her hands to Zhu Huiyu, Xiaodie and the others, and said, "It's rare for our family to get together for a meal today, and everyone respects the master for a glass of wine."

"Yes! Ma'am." Zhu Huiling and others hurriedly said.

After speaking, everyone raised their glasses to Li Jing at the same time.

Li Jing smiled and had a drink with everyone.

Putting down his wine glass, Li Jing sighed softly: "At first I didn't want to say these things to you, but today I found out that Uncle Chen is seriously ill. I am in a bad mood. Sigh! Seeing that this person who has always treated me like a son is about to leave , I'm so sad!"

Shen Ying sighed softly: "My lord, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable. As long as we are filial, we can have a clear conscience."

Li Jing nodded silently: "Madam said that Madam has done many things for me over the years, and I know it all in my heart."

Shen Ying said softly: "Master is busy with state affairs, these houseworks are what concubines should do."

Li Jing waved his hand and said: "Madam does not only do housework, but also state affairs. Madam also helps me a lot."

Speaking of which, Li Jing shook his head: "Many people in this world claim to be full of knowledge, but I know that the two ladies are the real learned people. Compared with the two ladies, those who claim to be full of knowledge are far apart."

Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu hurriedly said, "I can't afford the master's praise like this."

Li Jing smiled and said: "I can afford it, I can afford it. I know best whether the two ladies are educated. Seriously, my wife is my first husband. Mr. Yuan is still after my wife. He's my third gentleman."

Zhu Huiyu hurriedly said: "This concubine can't afford to be the master's husband."

Li Jing smiled and said: "Huiyu, I'm not trying to coax you. Back then you asked me to read Mr. Yangming's book. Later, when I went to Henan for disaster relief, you helped me figure out a way to solve the problem of food transportation, which made me understand what to do. The true meaning of unity, so you are worthy of this gentleman."

Sighing lightly, Li Jing continued: "When I first learned how to read, my wife asked me to study history. It can be said that she was my enlightenment teacher. Later, I formally worshiped Mr. Yuan as my teacher and began to learn the way of politics. I also learned Mr. Yangming’s philosophy of mind from you, and this is how I am today. I admire the knowledge of the two ladies very much.”

Zhu Huiling suddenly laughed when he heard the words: "Master, I have known Master for more than ten years, but Master has never said so many good things to me."

Shen Ying also laughed and said: "I'm afraid we sisters have been together for more than ten years, and I haven't heard the master say so many good things today."

Zhu Huiling rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master has been praising us for our knowledge. I'm afraid he wants us sisters to do something?"

Li Jing smiled and stretched out his hand to nod Zhu Huiyu: "If you say you are smart, you are really smart."

Looking at Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu, Li Jing said seriously, "I would like to ask the two ladies to write two articles for me."

Shen Ying and Zhu Huihou couldn't help but startled when they heard the words, and they looked at each other at the same time.

Zhu Huiling pondered for a moment and said, "The master wants me to write an article about filial piety with my wife, right?"

Li Jingjing nodded: "That's right, the people who wrote the article in Minsheng Daily couldn't write it, and they wouldn't write it if they could, including my cabinet's staff secretary office, and they wouldn't write it for me. article, so I can only ask the two ladies."

Shen Ying and Zhu Huilai nodded when they heard the words, knowing that what Li Jing said was the truth, none of these people dared to write such an article at the risk of the world.
