When Hou Yichen's figure disappeared, Ye Aniu hurriedly shook off Zhang Xiaowu's hand, as if it was burned by fire, and even his face turned red. He turned around and looked at him, and when he saw that there was no one else around him, he let out a long sigh.
He raised his hands and said in a serious tone, "Brother Ximen, I'm offended. I just..."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, Miss Ye, please come back."
Ye Aniu blushed, stepped hard on the ground with his toes, and suddenly asked: "Brother Ximen, do you know Zhang Shaobao?"
"Are you talking about Zhang Xiaowu?"
"right."
"I know him, but I don't know him either."
"Why do you say that?"
"The Zhang Xiaowu I know is the Zhang Xiaowu who guarded the wooden city alone in the northern desert and fought against thousands of barbarians without fear, not the Ye Shaobao of today."
"That's true, people will always change. How about you tell me about Zhang Shaobao in the past?"
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "I think you should understand the modern Zhang Xiaowu better. The Zhang Xiaowu of the past will always be just a kind of past, not the present."
Ye Aniu shook his head and said: "I think Zhang Xiaowu is loyal and an iron-blooded man. As for now, he is also a good central commander. At least this year, not only has the security of Longdu been improved, the people have also become richer, and the plague has disappeared.
Everyone also has some money to celebrate the festival. Let’s talk about it.
Whether a person is good or bad depends on whether what he does is good. Therefore, to evaluate an official, we must look at how the people live. If the people escape from his jurisdiction, everyone will be miserable and only think about how to survive every day.
If there is no happy smile, then this official must be a bad official."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and asked: "Then do you think Zhang Xiaowu is a good official?"
Ye Aniu said: "At the very least, for the people, Zhang Xiaowu is definitely a good official." She then asked: "Are the stories in The Ghost General's Journey true?"
"Which ones?"
"all."
Zhang Xiaowu frowned and said: "I have forgotten some things. When we meet again one day, I will tell you the truth and falsehood according to the book."
Ye Aniu excitedly took out a book from the painting, with "Ghost Will Arrive" written on the cover. Zhang Xiaowu was stunned. Ye Aniu smiled, blinked and said: "Let's go to Guirenfang, I know
A teahouse.”
Zhang Xiaowu said: "It's getting late, let's talk about it later."
Ye Aniu said: "How about we agree on a time tomorrow? What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaowu was overwhelmed by her stubbornness, so he had to agree: "Okay, but not tomorrow, five days later."
Ye Aniu said: "Five days will be five days. That teahouse is called Wangxing Garden. Brother Ximen, you must go. See you there in the morning after five days."
After making an agreement with Miss Ye, Zhang Xiaowu returned to the Hejian Marquis Mansion, and after a day's rest, he went to deal with the affairs of the court. After a few days of rest, his health improved significantly. At the same time, the court's memorials also accumulated a lot in the past few days. Some small things
, has been handled by other governors of the central government, but some more important memorials have been left to be dealt with.
One of them was that the prince-in-law divorced his wife. This divorce case became a national matter and could only be regarded as a scandal for the royal family.
The consort, He Zhengben, was the man who was the prostitute six years ago. He had a handsome face and was eloquent. Although his literary talent was a bit inferior, he still got the favor of Emperor Taiqian and appointed him as the candidate for the concubine. Then, Emperor Taiqian will
He granted marriage to his granddaughter, Princess Baguio, the eldest daughter of the then second prince Chengdu Hou Xuanyuan Zixing.
Princess Baguio is beautiful and enchanting, and He Zheng is handsome and unrestrained. The two are really a match made in heaven. However, this marriage is doomed to be unfortunate from the beginning. He Zheng was engaged in a baby marriage when he was young. Although they have not seen each other for more than ten years, He always kept his father's advice in mind, so much so that even after being offered marriage by Emperor Taigan, he refused for a time. Later, Zhang Kuan secretly warned him that if he wanted to live, he wanted to let his parents, family, the woman he was married to, and her family live. He must accept this marriage happily. He Zheng had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
In fact, Princess Baguio had already made a private marriage with someone for life, but she didn't expect that she was granted a marriage by her grandfather before she could fight for it from her father. Princess Baguio originally lived with her father in Chengdu, but because of the marriage, she had to come here. He lives in Longdu, and from now on he can only part ways with his beloved, Lao Yan.
After the two got married, they never lived together because of the obstruction of their grandma. In fact, the dowry mama only blocked it in order to ask for a bribe. As long as He Zheng provided some money, the mama would naturally not allow the two to live together. However, He Zheng He didn't like Princess Baguio, especially after he knew that after marrying the princess, he would only be able to work as an editor in the Hanlin Academy for the rest of his life, and would not be able to realize his political ambitions or be a foreign official, so he became even more indifferent to the necessary princess.
Six years after the two got married, He Zheng divorced his wife on the grounds that Princess Baguio could not have children.
If a man in the Holy Han Empire wants to divorce his wife, he does not just divorce if he wants to divorce, nor does he allow divorce if he is not in a good relationship. Once he divorces or divorces his wife innocently, he will be sent to the army. The emphasis on marriage in the Holy Han Empire is to stay away from home for seven times and not to leave for three times. , the seven exceptions are: a wife who is unfilial to her parents-in-law can be divorced, a wife who cannot give birth to a son can be divorced, a wife who commits adultery can be divorced, a wife who is jealous of others can be divorced, a wife who is suffering from an infectious disease can be divorced, causing The wife who is a quarrel with the neighbors can be divorced, and the wife who has committed theft and crime can be divorced. The three "not to leave" are: the wife who has no place to return cannot be divorced, which means that if the natal family is unwilling to accept it and the woman has not gone to live with her, a man cannot divorce his wife; filial piety A man cannot divorce his wife after three years of filial piety for her husband or her husband's parents. Finally, a poor and lowly wife cannot be divorced, which means that a wife who was acquired when the man was poor will not be divorced after the husband becomes rich. You cannot divorce your wife.
The reason why the case of the husband-in-law's repudiation could not be decided for a while was because there had never been such a precedent before, and everyone did not know how to deal with it.
Zhang Xiaowu immediately asked He Zheng to come to the Hanlin Academy to give a lecture and asked why he divorced his wife. He Zheng replied directly: "She and I are no longer in the same bed. So far, we have never slept together, so how can we talk about different dreams?" . We dislike each other, we sleep half way at home, and we have no feelings for a long time. Now I am only twenty-five years old, and she is only twenty-two years old. If we let go as soon as possible, both of us will have a good ending."
"Do you have someone you like outside?"
"No. But I want to teach at the Imperial Academy, and I don't want to continue to be an editor at the Hanlin Academy." He Zheng suddenly choked up and said, "But because I am the consort, I can only be an editor in my life. In fact, every Yue is receiving a monthly salary and is just a waste who only eats but does not work. Lord Central Command, I don’t want to be a waste. I want to be a human being and I don’t want to be a puppet. Please help me.”
