Yuan is the leader of goodness, the Four Virtues of Heaven, Yuan Henry is loyal, another Yuan is restored, and everything is renewed... Zhang Ximeng was the first courtier to follow Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was also Zhu Yuanzhang's teacher. He taught reading, assisted the country and governed the people, and benefited a lot.
.
The word Yuanshi is well deserved.
Among the civil and military ministers present, no one would object to this... Perhaps the only one who had some ideas was Li Shanchang, who was still in Yingtian. He was the nominal head of the officials and the left prime minister.
As a result, he could only watch Zhang Ximeng being revered as Yuanshi. Wouldn't he be depressed to death?
But don't worry about how depressed he is, it has nothing to do with the big guys here anyway.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked everyone what they wanted and heard that they were all willing to carry the sedan.
Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Then let's go together and prepare sixty-four people to carry the sedan for Prime Minister Zhang. Except for the leader, the rest can change shifts in the middle... Everyone will get wet and wet, and everyone will have fun together. What do you think?"
"The superior sage!"
Everyone was happy, encouraged, and smiling.
Xu Da sighed: "When I came to power, Zhang Xiang initially taught literacy and established rules in the army. He put in a lot of effort. He was like a master of ministers. Today, I am overjoyed to participate in Zhang Xiang's wedding. I can't help but feel a little reckless."
, please forgive me, superior."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Needless to say, we are not like this! You don't know that back then, Zhang Xiang was so skinny that he had only a handful of bones, a pair of big eyes, and not even a ounce of flesh on his whole body. The queen even cooked the food herself.
, eat and drink well every day, it’s so easy to grow so big, but not even have a wife, we are worried when we look at it. Fortunately, Jiang Tiju is still here, and they are a talented and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."
When Lao Zhu said this, he glanced at the civil and military personnel present, and then said murderously: "Jiang Tiju has worked hard on state affairs and punished corrupt officials in the past few years, and has made great contributions. Her character is obvious to all. Now she is married to Prime Minister Zhang.
.We want to say that the pure will become pure by themselves, and the turbid will become turbid by themselves. If someone has a rotten heart and lungs and chews his tongue behind his back, don’t blame me for not reminding him when the time comes! The national law is ruthless, and the knife in our hand is even more ruthless!"
Everyone quickly agreed, feeling awe-inspiring in their hearts.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang's words were not meant for this group of people.
The civil and military officials present all understood to some extent the relationship between Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as Zhang Ximeng's character. If they wanted to instigate trouble here, they would simply enter the latrine with a lantern and seek death.
But there are always some smart people in this world who think they can stir up trouble and gain benefits.
As Lao Zhu said, when the ghost-headed sword falls, don't call it unfair.
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he warned everyone, "You are rushing to carry the sedan chair. There is something I want to remind you. If anyone makes a mess while busy, affecting the wedding and alarming the bride, we will not agree!"
These words really reminded everyone that when it comes to being physically strong, these generals are enough. However, lifting the sedan requires dexterity and stability, and people have to be replaced in the middle. How to ensure stability is also a technical job.
If the auspicious time is delayed, the sin will be serious.
Then you saw a group of the top military generals of the Ming Dynasty, headed by Xu Da, running to the school field. Each person held a wooden pole and carried it on their shoulders. They shouted slogans together and walked in an orderly manner. They did not dare to make any mistakes.
have.
The soldiers watched and laughed, feeling happier than during the Chinese New Year.
The group of people present just laughed and cursed, didn't care, and even felt quite honored.
After all, those who can carry Zhang Ximeng's sedan chair have a certain status.
Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai, and Feng Guoyong were the leaders, and the rest included Hua Yun, Wu Zhen, Wu Liang, Fei Ju, Zheng Yuchun, Liao Yongzhong, Yu Tonghai, Zhu Wenzheng, and Lan Yu.
With this combination, at least he is a hereditary and irreplaceable marquis.
If you want to carry it from beginning to end, you must be the Duke of the country.
After practicing all afternoon, everyone is familiar with it and is about to show off his skills. That annoying Zhu Ying wanders around again.
Chang Yuchun snorted, "What are you doing here? Are you talking nonsense again?"
Zhu Ying chuckled, "I came here on the order of Mr. Fenglin... He asked me to tell everyone that since we are welcoming the bride, you can't wear military uniforms, so that won't do."
Feng Guoyong nodded, "That makes sense, we just need to wear court uniforms."
"That's even worse." Zhu Ying said: "My eldest brother is a minister. You wore official uniforms to help him welcome the bride. What you know is that Zhang Xiang is getting married. What you don't know is that you thought it was His Majesty welcoming the princess!"
This moment made everyone stunned, "Well, what should we do?"
Zhu Ying looked at a few people, then suddenly chuckled, took out a bright red shirt from behind, shook it in his hand, "Everyone, please take a look!"
When the generals looked at it, they didn't need to blink, they just opened their eyes. What the hell is this? Why are you still carrying flowers?
"Zhu Ying, what the hell are you doing?" Hua Yun asked angrily.
Zhu Ying quickly yelled, "I was wronged. Isn't it wrong for the wedding team to dress more festively? If you guys don't want to, I, I will find someone else!"
"Don't!"
Chang Yuchun stopped him hastily, and then said: "Isn't it just a red dress with flowers? Isn't it true that I can't wear it? When I was acting in the army, I even pretended to be Concubine Yang Guifei! It's okay, I'll do it!"
When everyone heard what he said, their faces turned dark. No wonder the Anshi Rebellion broke out. Li Longji fell in love with you. That would make you blind. How can you avoid the country's subjugation?
Maybe An Lushan felt that the imperial concubine was annoying, so he wanted to go to Luo with a sword and make a painful statement!
Chang Yuchun said this, and everyone relaxed.
It's not a big deal, just using Zhang Xiang's marriage to make everyone lively... It's just wearing red clothes and flowers, and it doesn't really make the big guy appear on stage, so it's nothing.
"Zhu Ying, if you have any other methods, bring them out!" Hua Yun patted his chest and shouted angrily.
Zhu Ying's smile became even brighter, "Commander Hua, if nothing else, your messy beard is scary when you go out. I want you to welcome the bride, don't scare the child... Listen to me, trim your beard carefully,
Clean up your appearance."
Hua Yun nodded, "Sure, I'm already handsome. If I change this, I'll really become Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
His words caused laughter, and Zhu Wenzheng shouted loudly, "Take a knife and prick him quickly to see how thick-skinned he is."
During the shouting, Hua Yun was not the only one with beards. Hu Dahai couldn't help but said: "I, I also want to tidy up?"
Zhu Ying looked at it carefully, scratched her head and said, "Not only do you need to trim your beard, but you also need to apply some powder. Your face is almost like the bottom of a pot."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all couldn't help but laugh.
A group of great generals of this generation are willing to put on red clothes, wear big flowers, carry a sedan chair in pink and ink, and welcome the bride.
In itself, it is quite an amazing thing. Zhang Ximeng's prestige is indeed terrifying!
The time soon came for the wedding day.
Zhang Ximeng's residence was decorated with lights and colorfully painted.
This place was originally a villa owned by Liu Futong. The architecture was very elegant and luxurious. Zhu Yuanzhang lent the villa to Zhang Ximeng. He also merged a nearby courtyard, demolished the courtyard wall, and made some modifications to make it very spacious and bright.
, it has a magnificent atmosphere and is very suitable for Zhang Ximeng’s new house.
Of course, it was not that Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to reward Zhang Ximeng with the house. The key point was that Jiang Tiju directly said that although there were many houses in Kaifeng, they were all government property. The reward must have a name and the house must have a destination.
It is unreasonable to reward ministers just because they think it is convenient to get married.
Good guy, Jiang Tiju can make Zhang Ximeng look down on him without anyone else taking action.
In the past, some people wanted to challenge Prime Minister Zhang's weakness, and they probably still had a chance, but now that there are more people, Jiang Tiju is here, and Zhang Ximeng Tiju has finally figured it out.
Zhang Ximeng had nothing to say. He even took out three thousand guan of treasure money and handed it to the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was regarded as the renovation expenses of the house he borrowed. We can't take advantage of the imperial court.
Rules that did not exist before must be established.
What we had in the past needs to be clearer and no loopholes are allowed.
On the wedding day, Zhang Ximeng got up early.
In fact, there is nothing to worry about. The white-faced scholar has always been so handsome. He doesn’t need makeup at all. He is full of poems and has a natural temperament!
When others get married, they dress up like a top scholar, wear a half-dress, play and play, and that's it.
When I arrived at Zhang Ximeng's place, the attire of the No. 1 scholar was too shabby.
Our Prime Minister Zhang wears a beam crown, a python robe, and a jade belt.
A great duke, a leader of hundreds of officials, no need to say more!
For someone with such a high official position and not yet getting married, it is indeed very unusual for him to be away from his parents.
That is to say, in this time of chaos, it is impossible to imagine it in a peaceful time.
As soon as Zhang Ximeng finished dressing, Zhu Yuanzhang had already arrived. Behind Lao Zhu, in addition to a bunch of ministers, there was also one of Zhu Yuanzhang's royal horses, which he also snatched.
Not only that, there was a saddle made of gold and jade placed on the horse's back, shining brightly.
Zhang Ximeng was stunned. He was really scared. Even Zhu Yuanzhang had never used a golden saddle!
"Sir, have you forgotten? This was given to us by Fang Guozhen back then. The queen dug it out and brought it to you. She has confessed that this time you are getting married in Kaifeng and she can't come over. I'll wait for you to respond.
She wants to entertain you and your wife."
Zhang Ximeng finally remembered, and it seemed that such a thing really happened, "Thank you for your concern, Queen. I understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Sit up and try it!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, stepped on the stirrup, got on the horse, sat on the golden saddle, and looked around.
Zhu Shengqing, who came with him, couldn't help but clasped his hands and laughed, "He is indeed a handsome person with a kind demeanor! When he comes to the top, Prime Minister Zhang can be regarded as a person from our Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily and said: "Not only does he look like a human being, he is also the heart and conscience of our Ming Dynasty! Only when we have the chancellor can we conquer the world!"
This exaggeration made Zhang Ximeng feel a little ashamed. Although with me here, your world can be better, bigger, and stronger... But even without me, you can still sit on the dragon throne.
Lao Zhu, you have to be confident!
Lao Zhu sighed and said with a smile: "Sir, go and greet the bride! The team is waiting outside to bring Jiang Tiju back. There will be a big banquet later. We still have something to say."
Zhang Ximeng nodded, he indeed had something to do. Just like that, Zhang Ximeng rode out of the house. As soon as he arrived at the door, a group of handsome men, carrying an exaggerated sedan, suddenly appeared in front of him.
Zhang Ximeng was startled. He hurriedly looked for the leader and saw Zhu Ying.
"What's going on?"
Zhu Ying hurriedly ran over and took the reins of Zhang Ximeng's horse, "Brother, this is a special order from His Majesty. Don't be afraid. I will hold the horse for you today, so you must hold on."
Sure enough, the hard work came. Zhang Ximeng took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "It's okay, I can still hold on."
Zhu Ying was leading the horse in front. When Zhang Ximeng passed by the exaggerated sixty-four-carriage sedan, he found a man like an iron tower, baring his teeth and laughing at him, with a flower on his chest.
Peonies are particularly charming.
Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a while, "You, you are Governor Hu!"
Hu Dahai smiled and touched the makeup on his face, sorry that it was thin...
