Chapter 1091 Opening the Coffin
Zhou Shuren felt that he had underestimated his second son before. This child's status had limited his thoughts before. "Even if the weather wasn't 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 boat 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 struggle. I remember what my father said, maritime trade will sooner or later lead to war, 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 have any education. It seemed that opportunities were very important, and of course one also had to have the ability to seize opportunities.
Zhou Shuren was very pleased. "Give the proposals you have in mind to Wang Ju. He is your top supervisor now, so he will submit them."
Chang Yi was dumbfounded and stammered, "Dad, Dad, you want me to write a letter and send it up?"
Zhou Shuren slammed the table, "Look at how scared 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 my 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. Dad said, "It's good. It must be good." "Dad, I'll go back and get some money."
"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 the various branches of the Zhou family will get better and better. They can't take care of them forever. It's good like this now. "Yeah."
Changyi writes folded letters slowly. First of all, Changyi's handwriting is not good? If he writes a word wrong, he has to rewrite it? 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.
Can he just accept his fate and write the folded paper? He didn't think he had little education before, because he knew a lot of words? Now he grabs his hair in handfuls, and some of the words he recognizes seem to be missing some parts when he writes them out.
What makes him blush the most is that his wife's handwriting is better than his. And before he knew it, his wife not only knows a lot of words, but can also explain and write them!
It was eight or nine days later when Changyi finally finished writing the letter.
Chang Yi held the folder and waited eagerly for his father's comments. But he saw his father's expression, which was speechless. Chang Yi blushed, "Dad, I really tried my best."
Zhou Shuren handed the letter in his hand to his eldest grandson, "You can also take a look at the letter written by your second uncle."
Today in the study, Zhou Shuren also left some of his grandchildren there? It's a good thing to get in touch with them early.
Mingrui raised his head and looked at the ceiling, determined not to look at his father. He had already read what his father had written. As for today's folding paper, his father really tried his best.
Mingyun had the information secretly passed on by his third brother as a basis, so he was confident. After reading it, he said sincerely, "Second uncle, I think you should read more books and practice calligraphy at home in the future."
The folds are all in colloquial language, and the expressions in some places are not profound. The most important thing is the words, which are really ugly and soft!
Chang Yi blushed and swore to his father, "I will study harder and practice calligraphy more in the future. Dad, are you really going to give this folding paper 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 letter 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 prepared to continue to embarrass himself. If it weren't for his obsession, he would not want to torture himself at all.
The prince took it and looked at the jade pendant carefully. His father had carved it and had a master carver 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 heirs wear jade pendants, and the patterns on the jade pendants of the legitimate heirs have a reason. 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 men's jade pendant has no corner patterns, and..."
The prince really enjoyed listening to his father talking about the Rong family. "And what?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Moreover, the direct line of the Rong family is different from the direct lines of other families."
The prince also looked up a lot of information about the Rong family, but he had never found any differences between the direct branches. He was extremely curious and asked, "What are the differences?"
The emperor touched the jade pendant and said, "The Rong family is a large clan. In order to maintain the longevity of the family, those who have made significant contributions or have outstanding abilities will be assessed and given the status of a legitimate branch."
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 kept secret."
If he could really keep it a secret, he would still have a higher hope that there were still living people in the Rong family. It was precisely because he couldn't satisfy 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 thoroughly, "Ah."
The emperor was still 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, in the Ministry of Rites, Wang Ju opened the folded book 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 all what you thought?"
Doesn't this kid have any books?
Chang Yi just felt that Lord Wang disapproved of him, and he made up his mind to practice calligraphy well. "It was my humble servant's idea."
Wang Ju put down the folder. 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 folder. Zhou Shuren was training his son. "You should read more books."
Chang Yi blushed, "I will definitely ask you to go back and study more."
Wang Ju wanted to re-transcribe the letter, but then she remembered Zhou Shuren and put the letter in her arms, "I will send this letter 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 had the coffin brought into the palace and placed it in front of the Zheng Hall. The emperor brought several of his sons, including Zhang Yang.
King Liang felt a little annoyed as he watched the abbot reciting scriptures for the salvation of the soul, and he was anxious to open the coffin.
I could only listen to my father reciting scriptures and follow him patiently.
The emperor was very careful. After the host left, he took the prince back to the Zheng Palace, and even 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 until it was opened?
Prince Qi looked at the confused Prince Liang and thought, his father really cared about his own son. His father was afraid that the coffin was a trap and could be dangerous, so he let Zhang Yang stay outside. This is the difference between a biological son and a fake son!
