When Yu Qian, an old man, learned that the prince was visiting, he hurried out to greet him. Accompanied by his son Yu Mian and son-in-law Zhu Ji, he came to the gate and invited Zhu Jianji and his wife to enter.
The Minister of War's office was delighted.
Especially for Yu Mian and Zhu Ji, the stone that had been hanging in their hearts for more than ten years finally fell.
In the early years, Yu Qian was solely in charge of the Ministry of War.
Yu Mian and Zhu Ji never dared to use Yu Qian's reputation and status for personal gain, because these two younger generations knew the principle of prosperity and decline, and Yu Qian would not allow them to do so.
Furthermore, Yu Mian was in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and Zhu Ji was in Jinyiwei.
Life was going well.
Yu Qian had not neglected their education, so the two of them understood very well that people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants.
As Shi Heng was in turmoil, Yu Qian stood aside and watched.
The two juniors felt a little panicked.
I have been worried all these years, always feeling that my family would not die well.
Some time ago, Yu Qian resigned.
His Majesty said that the Crown Prince would discuss it later when he comes back.
The two of them felt even more panicked.
Since the remnants of the Jianwen turmoil in Fujian, Yu Qian has been serving outside. Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eliminated Tang's relatives and suppressed the civil service group, and re-appointed Yu Qian as Minister of War. It seems that the estrangement between Yu Qian and the Zhu family has passed.
But who knows if he will be settled by his wife.
His Majesty refused Qian's resignation, so these two juniors instinctively thought that His Majesty was going to take action.
As a result, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit in person today.
And he also brought the pregnant Crown Princess Bai Li with him!
Good news.
This at least shows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be dissatisfied with Qian, otherwise he would not bring the Crown Princess to the Minister of War's Mansion.
Take a seat.
Crown Princess Bai Li has a distinguished status, but she is still a woman, so she was invited to the side hall by Yu Mian's wife Dong. As the female spokesperson of the royal family, Bai Li expressed cordial condolences to the female family members of the family.
Yu Qian, Yu Mian and Zhu Ji were accompanying Zhu Jianji in the main hall.
Zhu Jianji took a sip of tea slowly, glanced at Yu Mian first, and asked Yu Qian with a smile: "Where is Yu Kang?"
Yu Kang is Yu Qian's adopted son.
Yu Qian said with a smile: "Yu Kang is a kid who likes to study strange things. He believed in it more than ten years ago and went to refine elixirs for a while, thinking that he could make some elixir of immortality. However, he died in vain and ended up hanging around in the house.
A few years ago, he was afraid of being scolded by the ministers, and happened to meet the Academy of Engineering of the Ministry of Industry to recruit alchemists, so Yu Kang went to the Academy of Engineering, where he could earn a salary and be able to support his family."
Zhu Jianji was happy, "Yu Shaobao, it's better not to be too harsh on your family."
Yu Qian smiled and said nothing.
Can it be harsh?
In his position, if he does not strictly control his family, his reputation may be ruined in one day.
Zhu Jianji added: "Since Yu Kang knows the art of alchemy, he can be regarded as a talent, and he was educated by Yu Shaobao, so I can rest assured that I will use it. Tomorrow I will go to the Institute of Engineering, and I will arrange a good job for Yu Kang.
."
Yu Qian just wanted to refuse on behalf of Yu Kang, but Zhu Jianji pushed him back, "Yu Shaobao doesn't want to do it because he is afraid of gossip, but Yu Shaobao doesn't think more about it than Kang does. Besides, Gu doesn't care about Yu Shaobao's face, but
It depends on whether Yu Kang has the ability to do the job, and this matter cannot be mentioned again!"
Yu Qian had no choice but to give up.
Zhu Jianji looked at Yu Mian again, "I heard that you followed Zhu Yong and made military exploits in Mobei this year. Zhu Yong wrote a battle report back to Gyeonggi, praising you highly and saying that you are quite like Shaobao in military matters.
His Majesty has decided to reuse you. In a few days, you will be promoted to the governor of Qianshi and go to the north to cooperate with Zhao Fu in guarding the border town."
This is not a last-minute idea.
Yu Mian followed Zhu Yong in the Mobei War and performed really well, which was completely different from his earlier reputation in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
It is a typical example of accumulation and accumulation.
Yu Mian smiled and said, "It was Zhu Yong who led the army well and it was the bravery of the young soldiers. I just took advantage of the east wind to take some credit. I dare not be arrogant or forget my father's sincere teachings."
Zhu Jianji nodded, yes, he has good conduct.
He smiled and said, “Keep up the good work!”
Suddenly he smiled playfully and said, "The honor of the Yu family must be inherited by someone. I heard that you have given birth to a six-year-old daughter, so you have to work hard."
Yu Mian looked embarrassed.
I secretly thought that this is my sore foot. Your Highness, if you don’t know how to chat, then don’t chat.
Zhu Jianji suddenly changed the topic, "The little girl walking at the end with Mrs. Dong just now is the daughter Yu Yu? How old are you this year? Can you get married?"
Yu Mian was stunned.
Yu Qian was also stunned for a moment. His Highness the Crown Prince was acting like a matchmaker?
But Zhu Ji on the side understood, and immediately said with a smile: "Your Highness, Yu Yu just got hairpins this year, and she is currently chatting with the Crown Princess in the side hall. Yu Yu has read poetry and books, but her temper is a bit wild. She always thinks that she is
Our Ming Dynasty’s Hua Mulan, it’s a pity that our family didn’t give her the opportunity to join the army for her father, hahaha!”
Zhu Jianji nodded, "Yu Shaobao's family tradition is very good."
The little girl has a good face, which makes people feel very pleasing to the eye, and the more she looks at her, the more beautiful she becomes. There is a hint of unruliness in her eyes, and she dared to secretly look at herself when she was saluting.
This gave Zhu Jianji the illusion that she admired him.
He looked at Zhu Ji again and said, "Jinyiwei is about to reorganize its internal affairs. Nanzhen Fusi Town Fusi Liangmeng is old, and Gu thinks his butt is not clean. You have been in Nanzhen Fusi for more than ten years, so you should move away."
Position, if you cooperate more with Zhu Xiang, you will still have a clear and bright Jin Yiwei!"
Zhu Ji was overjoyed.
As Yu Qian's son-in-law, during his years in Nanzhen Fusi, he could only go with the flow and not dare to offend others.
Now when I hear that His Highness wants to reuse him, how can I not be happy?
But Yu Qian heard something off-topic. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came, he promised his two sons and son-in-law that they would be given important positions, and he also wanted to bring his granddaughter Yu Yu into the East Palace.
Yu Qian had a feeling that His Royal Highness was helping him arrange his family's funeral arrangements.
Could it be...
Do you really not want to let yourself die a happy death?
Yu Qian sighed slightly in his heart, feeling calm.
If you are upright, you have nothing to fear.
Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince's arrangement really relieved his worries. He has always felt guilty towards his two sons and son-in-law these years. One thing is that besides Yu Kang not doing his job properly, Yu Mian and Zhu Xiang would have been dead long ago if it were not for Yu Qian.
It's time to become an important minister of the Ming Dynasty.
As for my granddaughter Yu Yu...
It is naturally a good thing to become a concubine of the Ming Dynasty royal family.
Moreover... Yu Qian also liked marrying His Highness the Crown Prince. He had always admired Zhu Jianji. Seeing that his granddaughter Yu Yu had such a good home, the old man was filled with joy.
Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "Having said so much, Yu Shaobao, you may have misunderstood what I mean. I am not arranging your funeral arrangements. I am telling you with actions that although you are seventy years old, I need
You use your remaining energy and have no intention
I will continue to work hard for the prosperous Ming Dynasty. I will work with you to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty. This day may take a long time, but it may be very soon. It is a pity that Duke Yimin did not see it, but I hope that you can see it.
one day!"
Yimin is Wang Wen's posthumous title.
Yu Qian was stunned.
Immediately he laughed silently, His Highness was here to persuade him not to become an official.
Good guy, are you the one who persuades me like this?
Let a seventy-year-old man continue to devote himself to the court, and let his two sons and son-in-law work for you. Forget it, he actually wants to marry his granddaughter.
Just too greedy.
But let alone, His Highness the Prince's actions made Yu Qian see his sincerity in retaining him, and he felt very happy.
Good.
But Yu Qian still did not waver in his decision to become an official.
