Zhou Shuren felt that he had underestimated his second son before. This child's status had limited his thoughts before. "If the weather hadn't been abnormal, you would have had these thoughts too."
Chang Yi was seen through by his father. He just thought that his father was his father. "Well, I thought about it on the ship on the way back. It is a rule that small countries depend on big countries. Our country's maritime trade will become more and more prosperous. I saw the fight. I remember what my father said. Maritime trade will cause war sooner or later. So I thought more about it."
Zhou Shuren was surprised, he had to be surprised. He silently thought about some talented people in ancient times who did not read books. It seems that opportunities are very important, but of course one also needs the ability to seize opportunities.
Zhou Shuren was very pleased. "Give your proposal to Wang Ju. He is your top boss now. He will deliver it."
Chang Yi was dumbfounded and stammered, "Dad, Dad, you want me to write a memorial and send it to you?"
Zhou Shuren slammed the table, "Look at how cowardly you are. Where is the confidence you had just now?"
Chang Yi thought, how can talking to Dad be the same as writing to the Emperor or the Crown Prince? It's okay to say something wrong in front of Dad, but it's different for the Emperor and the Crown Prince. "Dad, is your idea really good?"
Zhou Shuren curled his lips and said approvingly: "Not only is it good, it's also very far-sighted."
Chang Yi's confidence returned. His father said it was good, so it must be good. "Dad, I will go back and write some memorials."
"Um."
Zhou Shuren waited for his old son to leave, and then whispered, "I think this kid might be able to overcome the hurdle of promotion with his own abilities."
Zhulan hopes that each branch of the Zhou family will get better and better. They can't take care of it forever. It's good like this now. "Yeah."
Changyi wrote his memorials slowly. First of all, his handwriting was not good, and he had to rewrite it if he made a mistake. Changyi thought about asking his eldest nephew for help, but finally gave up the idea. He couldn't keep asking his eldest nephew for help.
He could only accept his fate and write the memorial. He didn't feel that he was not well-educated before, as he knew a lot of characters. Now, he was scratching his hair in handfuls, and when he wrote down some of the characters he could recognize, he felt like they were missing some limbs.
What makes him blush the most is that his wife's handwriting is better than his. Moreover, before he knew it, his wife not only knows a lot of words, but can also explain and write them!
When Changyi finally finished writing the memorial? It was already eight or nine days later.
Chang Yi held the memorial paper and waited eagerly for his father's comments? Only to see his father's indescribable expression? Chang Yi blushed? "Dad, I really tried my best."
Zhou Shuren handed the memorial in his hand to his eldest grandson. "Take a look at the memorial written by your second uncle."
Today's study? Zhou Shuren also left his grandchildren behind, so it's a good thing to have early contact with them.
Mingrui looked up at the ceiling? He was determined not to look at his father? He had read it after his father finished writing it. His father really did his best on today's memorial.
Mingyun had the information secretly passed on by his third brother as a basis, so he was safe. After reading it, he said sincerely: "Second uncle? Nephew thinks you should read more books and practice calligraphy at home in the future."
The essays are all written in vernacular, and the expressions in some places are not profound. The most important thing is the handwriting, which is really ugly and soft!
Chang Yi's face flushed, and he swore to his father, "My son will definitely study more and practice calligraphy in the future. Dad, are you really going to give this memorial to Lord Wang?"
Zhou Shuren hummed, "This is your idea. I won't interfere. Just give it to Wang Ju tomorrow."
Chang Yi was very nervous. He even disliked the memorial he wrote. He also understood what his father meant. His father didn't want the emperor and the prince to think that this was his idea.
In the palace, the emperor took out the carved jade pendant. It was the only finished product. The emperor was not going to embarrass himself any further. If it weren't for his obsession, he wouldn't want to torture himself at all.
The prince took it and looked at the jade pendant carefully. His father had carved it and then asked a carving master to polish it. The pattern on the jade pendant was not rough. "Father, what is the meaning of the Rong family's jade pendant?"
The emperor took back the jade pendant and said, "Well, only the legitimate branch of the family can wear jade pendants, and the patterns on the jade pendants of the legitimate branch of the family also have a story. The jade pendants of women and men are different."
Prince, "How is it different?"
The emperor recalled, "I restored this one based on your grandmother's jade pendant. The jade pendant for men has no patterns on the corners, and..."
The prince really liked hearing his father talk about the Rong family. "And what?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Moreover, the direct branches of the Rong family are different from those of other families."
The prince also looked up a lot of information about the Rong family, but he had never found any difference between the direct branches. He was very curious and asked, "What is the difference?"
The emperor touched the jade pendant and said, "The Rong family is a huge clan. In order to maintain the longevity of the family, those who have made great contributions or have outstanding abilities in the Rong family will be evaluated and obtain the status of a direct descendant."
The prince's eyes widened, "Don't other families know?"
The emperor shook his head, "I know, how could I not know, this matter cannot be concealed."
If he could really keep it a secret, he could still have a higher hope that there were living people in the Rong family. It was precisely because he couldn't keep it a secret that he didn't have any hope. It would be difficult to hide a living person who had entered the direct branch.
The prince thought again, if they take action against the Rong family, they will naturally investigate it, "Ah."
The emperor was in a good mood, "The fourth brother's people will enter the capital tomorrow."
The prince nodded, "Yes, the coffin will be brought to the capital tomorrow."
The emperor hummed, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest. You will accompany me to open the coffin tomorrow."
"yes."
The next day, at the Ministry of Rites, Wang Ju opened the memorial with a stiff face. If the person in front of him was not Zhou Shuren's son, he would definitely not read it and ask him to go back and rewrite it. He read it patiently with a stiff face, and his expression became softer and softer. Finally, he was a little stunned, "Is this what you thought?"
Hasn't this kid read any books
Chang Yi just felt Lord Wang's disdain, and he made up his mind to practice calligraphy well, "It was my humble servant's idea."
Wang Ju put down the memorial. Just now he suspected that Zhou Shuren gave it to his son for his son's sake, but now he no longer thought so. His eyes fell on the memorial. Zhou Shuren was training his son, "You should read more."
Chang Yi blushed, "I will definitely ask you to go back and study more."
Wang Ju wanted to re-transcribe the memorial, but finally thought of Zhou Shuren and put the memorial in his arms, "I will send this memorial to the palace."
Now he also envied Zhou Shuren. His son, who didn't receive much education, was so smart and thoughtful, and he was really brave!
Chang Yi grinned, "Thank you, sir."
Inside the palace, the emperor let the coffin in and placed it in front of the Zheng Hall. The emperor was there with his sons and even Zhang Yang.
King Liang felt a little annoyed as he watched the abbot reciting the sutras for the salvation of souls, and he was anxious to open the coffin.
I could only patiently follow my father in reciting the scriptures.
The emperor was very careful. After the host left, he took the prince back to the Zheng Palace. He also took several princes back to the Zheng Palace, leaving only Zhang Yang outside.
Zhang Yang was stunned when he heard what Eunuch Liu said. He was asked to guard the coffin when it was opened
King Qi looked at the confused King Liang and thought, his father really cared about his own son. His father was afraid that the coffin was a trap and there was danger, so he let Zhang Yang stay outside. This is the difference between a biological son and a fake son!
