Chapter 989: Marriage and political affairs (two updates in one)(2/2)
Zhang Yue said: "I'm in good health, but I occasionally feel cold, and my physical strength and appetite are not as good as they were a few years ago."
The emperor is not in good health, so you can't say in front of him that I eat well, sleep well, and have a good meal.
The official said: "That's good. Yes, I heard that you have two sons. The eldest son should be fifteen years old."
Zhang Yue lowered his head and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I am indeed at such an age. I am very naughty and stubborn on weekdays. It is really a headache."
The official laughed and said: "That's because he has not lost his temper. If he finds a virtuous woman and gets married, he will know what it means to be responsible. His temper will also calm down, and he can inherit the clan in the future."
Zhang Yue said: "I will keep in mind your Majesty's words and will definitely warn Quan Zi when I return, but I hope he will be more stable. Therefore, I have agreed to get married to You Zhengyan Huang Lu, and I hope he can become sensible soon."
The official's face changed when he heard this. He had found out clearly before that Zhang Yue's eldest son had never made a marriage contract at all. How come there was a marriage contract all of a sudden?
In fact, Zhang Yue did know that the official might propose marriage to him, so he proposed a marriage contract to Huang Lu overnight.
Huang Lu was also surprised. They only talked about this on the road, so why was Zhang Yue anxiously approaching him to discuss marriage.
Huang Lu did have a girl waiting for his wife, but she was only about ten years old. The marriage negotiation had to wait until after the age of fifteen or sixteen. Originally, marriage negotiations in the Song Dynasty were very cumbersome, not to mention Zhang Yue and Huang Lu.
The home of officials.
When Huang Lu learned about the matter, he asked his wife Shen to discuss it with Zhang Yue's wife Qi Niang without saying a word.
For Shen, how glorious it is for her daughter to marry into the family of a prime minister like Zhang Yue. However, a woman like Shen who comes from a big family like the Wuxing Shen family is not simply someone who loves wealth and honor.
A short-sighted woman.
She knew the Zhang family very well. Needless to say, why Zhang Yue was an official. The Seventeenth Mother was also well-educated and sensible. She also disciplined her two sons very strictly and did not have the habits of the playboys in the yamen at all.
Why should I be worried about my daughter marrying into their Zhang family?
As for the Seventeenth Mother, she was also speechless. From that day when the Queen talked to her, she had guessed. How many good mothers-in-laws could the princess have?
Although the emperor canceled the promotion ceremony at this time, he dared to take it seriously. The most important thing is Zhang Yue's official career. Zhang Yue is now a civil servant leader. After becoming a relative, he lost his status as a civil servant leader. He will have the confidence to control hundreds of officials in the future.
insufficient.
In the Song Dynasty, the word system was extremely important.
Therefore, the emperor's son-in-law will definitely not do it, so how to refuse without offending the emperor is a problem. Then the only way is to make an engagement first.
It is said that choosing a daughter-in-law depends on the biological mother first. As the Shen family was born in a wealthy family like the Xingwu Shen family, needless to say about her family background and upbringing, Shen Kuo still loved her quite a lot before they got married. Although she was later treated harshly by her stepmother, she married her within a few years.
Huang Lu. After the two got married, the husband and wife were very close to each other.
Besides, who is Huang Lu? He is the official's classmate from the same hometown! The two families often communicate with each other on weekdays, and they know exactly what the adults and children of the other party are like.
Needless to say about Huang Lu's character, if the next generation of the two families can get married, they can become good friends for generations.
The Seventeenth Mother was born in the prime minister's family, and she married the prime minister herself, but she understood the meaning of marrying a daughter from a high family and marrying a daughter from a low family. When it comes to her son's generation, she has no intention of marrying the prime minister's daughter and burdening her officials.
He was suspected of forming a party for personal gain.
It couldn't be better for Huang Lu to be so clean and well-informed.
When the two parties matched each other perfectly, both families were overjoyed to see this, and they got engaged without saying a word.
In fact, a good marriage does not require much effort. Some are as simple as falling in love and everything goes smoothly without any trouble. It may seem a bit hasty to outsiders, but judging from the friendship between the Zhang and Huang families, it is not a problem at all.
Not hasty.
After learning about this, Zhang Yue also let go of his worries. Huang Lu is his brother, and he is the one who can trust each other with his life. Now he has become Qin Jin's best friend. He is really happy, and it has fulfilled one of his wishes.
Today, after I came to the Golden Palace to meet with the officials, I told the matter before the other party spoke. In this way, I did not hurt the feelings of the emperor and his ministers.
Now looking at the official's face, Zhang Yue secretly thought that he really meant this. Fortunately, fortunately.
The official didn't think much about it. At this moment, he only regretted breaking his thigh.
But the official couldn't show it, so he smiled slightly and said: "I heard that the children of the eunuchs in Bianjing were obsessed with Qi Zhi, and whoever chooses a female partner must come from a poor family. Is this true?"
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "What your Majesty said is indeed true. I was also appreciated by Lao Taishan at the beginning. It was because he recognized Han Jun that he could stand out among the crowd, so he became the son-in-law of the Wu family."
The official felt regretful in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and said: "It's a good marriage, and I'm happy for you too. Is Huang Lu just right and right now? I remember that he was the censor at the beginning, but because of his sparseness, he bluntly criticized the reform.
As a result, he was dismissed from this position. You two were in the same year, and he was still among the top ten Jinshi, but there was a huge gap in his official career."
Zhang Yue knew that Huang Lu was demoted for standing up for him. In fact, Shen Kuo and Wang Anshi had a very good relationship at the time. Huang Lu had no need to offend him, but he still did it.
Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your majesty, Huang Lu is a close friend of the minister, and he also supports the new law. However, he is naturally heroic and chivalrous, and he does not care about his official career. When he saw that the new law had shortcomings, he did his duty as a censor and spoke out. However,
I also like his mood of wandering clouds and wild cranes."
The official saying: "Good."
Then the official went to the screen, counted the numbers, and wrote Huang Lu's name on it with a pen.
The officials saw that Huang Lu's name had already been written on the screen. This was when Wang Anshi recommended him to be the censor.
For officials, the most important thing is that ministers have no party. To put it bluntly, they are lonely ministers. Wang Anshi promoted him, but he can still criticize the new law. This is somewhat similar to Cai Que. It seems that this person can do it in the future.
reused.
As for Zhang Yue, although she was not married, she still accepted the marriage arranged by him.
Huang Lu is now just a minor minister, and he also comes from a poor family. Zhang Yue married him not because of his family status or official position, but because of their long-term friendship. This shows that Zhang Yue is a person who values friendship.
Unlike other prime ministers, who married each other one by one, with the goal of maintaining prosperity and wealth. In the end, the prime minister and the prime minister's family married, governing and governing, two systems and two systems, it was simply intricate. You have me, and I have you.
Even Feng Jingdu, who had just returned to the court, had confirmed his marriage to Cai. What was the purpose of this? He was really speechless.
Officials hate it when officials below confuse marriage affairs with political affairs, but they forget that the same is true for themselves.
In the hearts of officials, someone like Zhang Yue is the way to be a monarch and his ministers, and he has achieved a good story as a monarch and his ministers.
Ps: It is said that Huang Lu's son-in-law is Lu Huiqing, but this is not true. In addition, Huang Lu's daughter is indeed good. According to records, Yi Shu is dignified and behaves according to etiquette. "So those who serve their parents should do their best. They are knowledgeable and interested."
