Chapter 1021 Pride

Chapter 1021 Pride

The emperor listened for a while, he wrote down the thoughts of the ministers, many of them agreed with him, raised his hand to signal to stop, and then left behind Xiao Qing and Zhou Shuren.

I am used to leaving the officials of the household department alone. Recently, the household department has started to cry poor again, all for money.

The emperor first talked about the household affairs with Xiao Qing, Zhou Shuren continued to be in front of the background board, Master Xiao hurriedly followed after he was about to leave.

The emperor said, "Zhou Aiqing stay here."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

Didn't escape this?

Xiao Qing left quickly after hearing this, Zhou Shuren thought that if he didn't speak, the emperor would not notice, naive!

The emperor motioned Zhou Shuren to sit down, and then said: "Your second son's language is really good."

Yesterday's communication went smoothly. Zhou Changyi's language ability is indeed very strong, especially when translating, he was very accurate and saved a lot of trouble.

Zhou Shuren was vigilant in his heart. For so many years, the emperor's routine, "The minister thanked the emperor for his praise on behalf of the dog."

The emperor sighed, "I originally wanted to make an order today. This talent needs to be used where he is needed. The Ministry of Rites needs it very much. But there are too many things. Shuren has always had many ideas. Today Shuren didn't speak. I really want to hear it." Shuren's opinion."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, and he knew that what lies ahead is foreshadowing, which is the key point. He reminded him with his son, "...I agree with Li Shangshu's words, and those who are not of my race should be careful, especially the two countries, as evidenced by the piracy incident last year."

The emperor hummed, he naturally knew all this, "Continue."

Zhou Shuren gritted his back teeth, the emperor was getting more and more difficult to fool, and lowered his eyes, "I think we can also send envoys to foreign countries. Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that our sea power is still weak at the beginning. I feel that we should learn from each other's strengths to make up for our weaknesses, and the words of the envoys are also correct, and the ministers agree that communication can develop, and it is not advisable to work behind closed doors."

He hopes to be stationed in various countries. What a great opportunity to inquire in the open and honest. Only by going deep abroad can he understand better, and the news he brings back is true, not heard.

The emperor smiled, and he knew that the old fox had an idea. This idea coincided with many of his ideas. Only by going out can you see a wider world, "Shu Ren said,

Gave me a lot of inspiration. "

Zhou Shuren said, that is, he is a future man, so he has a lot of knowledge, so sometimes he has to think about what he says, especially when facing the wise and ambitious emperor, why does the emperor like to chat with him, the emperor thinks more Get different insights and open ideas from him.

The crown prince sat not far away, staring at Zhou Shuren, feeling very entangled in his heart, Zhou Shuren should not stay in the household department, but Zhou Shuren is not in the household department, the household department will be short of money, and many of his ideas cannot be realized, so I am really entangled.

The emperor doesn't have to worry about the prince anymore, and it's fine now.

Zhou Shuren will not talk about the rest, he has controlled the measurement very well. Originally, he waited for his son to enter the Ministry of Rites, and then tried to find a way to go abroad. Now because the foreign envoy proposed it first, it is not wrong to advance it earlier. good.

Ministry of Rites, Changyi was a little dumbfounded, yesterday father said that he would not make an order so quickly, today's order came, he became the eighth-rank official and eighth-rank ambassador of the Ministry of Rites, and stood there stupidly after receiving the order.

It was Wu Ming who took the silver and handed it to the father-in-law who announced the decree, and then shook his hand, "I'm back to my senses."

Changyi's eyes widened, "I'm really an official?"

Wu Ming smiled, "Yes, I'm an official now."

Changyi's eyes are red, he also has an official status, he entered the Ministry of Rites, if not for the wrong place, he would want to squat down and cry for a while, his mood is very complicated now, although the eighth-rank official is not high, but he has achieved it Impossible, yes, it's all because of dad, these are all arranged by dad.

Wang Zuo didn't go to court today, but he knew that many officials were left behind after the early court today, "It should be your father's reason."

Chang Yi also thought so, Mr. Wang told him this morning to keep him steady, but the order came down at noon, he wanted to see his father very much now, and at the same time felt that he was too powerful.

Because of the relationship between the two families, Wang Jue took good care of Changyi. Seeing Changyi excited, he reminded Changyi, "You are now at the eighth rank, but it is difficult to rise up. You also know your own shortcomings. Your confidence is language. , so you have to work harder."

Changyi's heart was burning hot, he knew it would be difficult for him to go up, "I remember."

In the Zhou family, when Zhulan sent off the announcer, she saw Mrs. Zhao crying, and Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears indiscriminately, "Mother, I'm happy."

Zhulan understands that the second house is actually the most unconfident, regardless of earning a lot of money. "The future will get better and better. Today is a day of great joy, and the monthly money will be doubled."

Zhao wiped away her tears, "Mother, should we deliver a letter to the Hu family?"

Zhulan understood Zhao's thoughts, "Go."

Ning Guogong's mansion, Ning Guogong said to his two sons: "Zhou Shuren has made the impossible possible, it's incredible, it's incredible."

Regardless of the small official position, it is impossible.

Ning Hui, "It's not the time for the Zhou family to enter Beijing. The Zhou family has taken root in the capital steadily, and my son can already see the prosperity of the Zhou family in the future."

Not to mention anything else, Zhou Shuren was able to secure an official position for the white Zhou Changyi, not to mention the grandchildren of the Zhou family, the grandsons of the Zhou family were all educated, the eldest grandson and the eldest son of the second house were all educated.

Looking at the future from the perspective of descendants, these are the foundations of the prosperity of the Zhou family.

Hearing what the second brother said, Ning Xu was worried. One of the grandchildren of the Ning family was mediocre and the other was poor-boned. The great-grandchildren didn't have many children. They looked okay at the moment, but who knows that in the future, with the addition of Mrs. Du, he would feel irritable even thinking about it. .

Seeing his youngest son looking at him, Mr. Ning Guo could see his depression at a glance. He was never a soft-hearted person, and he would never bet on the future of the Ning family. The Ning family sacrificed too much.

Half an hour later, when Ning Hui returned to the yard, he heard the lady complaining.

Du Shi sat down with a bad face, "I just got pregnant. Didn't you see that my mother is so precious, she sends things to the Hou's house every day, sour and hot, she must be pregnant, every girl is here, baby, Song Shi gave birth to a boy, why didn't mother give more things?"

Ning Hui listened quietly, and he didn't refute, because he knew that it was useless to refute. The more he talked, the more Du felt wronged. After listening, he turned and left the yard.

In the evening, the Zhou family was full of joy, and Changyi drank a lot of wine because of his happiness. After dinner, Changyi walked behind his father.

Zhou Shuren, "If you don't go back to the yard to rest, what are you doing with me?"

He was walking in the courtyard while digesting food, and Changyi followed him every step of the way, which was very uncomfortable.

Chang Yi was not drunk, his eyes were very bright, "Father, my son will work hard to learn the language, and I will definitely win you over."

Zhou Shuren, "...is this the way you thought of getting promoted?"

Chang Yi blinked, "No, isn't it?"

Zhou Shuren squinted his eyes, "No, just being able to speak is not enough, but also being able to write and translate foreign books is an achievement, especially useful books. My son, you must have ideals and ambitions, such as sorting out books by yourself. Some foreign books that are useful to the country."

Changyi's eyes widened. A few words from his father opened his eyes, and he felt a sense of pride that Zhou Shuren was his father!
