The Liu family actually wanted to come to Fucheng together. Now the workshop is being built by Zhou Banxia, the mason's uncle, and even the fields are being looked after by the Ma family.
But in the end, I didn't feel comfortable handing over the banknotes for the pancake purchase to anyone. Even if the eldest daughter-in-law collected the bill first, she was afraid that the profit would be calculated.
No, as soon as Gu Erzhu arrived in Fucheng, before his old son saw him, he had another stack of banknotes, and even a letter was given to his old daughter-in-law when his in-laws were not present.
In less than a month, nearly 20,000 taels of silver notes came into the account. Not to mention Liu, Gu Erzhu was also worried that his eldest daughter-in-law would find out what she had in mind.
As an old man, he no longer has the ability to save a large family fortune for his old son. He always wants to help the old son guard more, and there is no reason to transfer more to the eldest son.
Gu Erzhu didn't say it, but Zhou Banxia also knew what he and his wife were thinking. It must be said that they were lucky to have such parents.
This was also the main reason why she immediately wrote to her father-in-law and mother-in-law to inform her. The two of them deserved the word "respected elders".
Seeing Gu Er Zhu's letter and a stack of banknotes from Liu, Zhou Banxia didn't say any polite words. Anyway, she couldn't let her father-in-law and mother-in-law lack money.
But before she could ask Gu Erzhu how he brought so many fine furs and still had so much money left, her father-in-law ran away.
She ran to talk to her father, but she didn't know what they were talking about. The two in-laws kept having fun, laughing from time to time.
After eating the "lower noodles", she still wanted to talk to the two fathers about Mr. Zhou. The two in-laws went to find Zhou Changping again, and then waited outside for their son to come back.
Therefore, it was really not her intention to wait for Gu Wenxuan to come back before mentioning the news she had learned through many recent posts.
After dinner, the group chatted about home affairs again. Even Zhou Changping and others went back to the front to continue studying for the exam. Zhou Banxia finally had a chance to speak.
Mr. Zhou, Zhou Huan, courtesy name Mingyang, is in his forties. He was a second-level Jinshi in the 15th year of Longxing. He is also a minister of the current Emperor Jiahe.
He had previously served as Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but his resume was different from that of the current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in Gaofu. During this period, he had also served in the Ministry of Personnel and even the Ministry of Punishment.
Compared with Jian, the tall and famous man who is in the heart of the emperor, he seems to be a lonely minister, but based on his resume, he seems to have a more sacred heart.
According to the speculation passed back by Mrs. Gao, it seems that he saved the Ninth Prince this time, and for fear of arousing the suspicion of other princes, he proposed to retire on the grounds of losing his appearance.
Speaking of the Ninth Prince, we have to mention His Majesty the Emperor Jiahe.
Emperor Jiahe now has five sons. The eldest prince, also known as the prince, is the daughter of the empress. Among them, the second prince and the ninth prince are brothers from the same mother and concubine Shu.
Speaking of this, I have to say that Emperor Longxing, the father of His Majesty Emperor Jiahe, was the first emperor to break the eldest son of Daliang and inherit the throne.
The second one is still His Majesty, Emperor Jiahe, which means that the thrones of their father and son are not the eldest son of Daliang.
Emperor Taizu of Daliang spent more than thirty years unifying China. In the later period, Emperor Taizong, his eldest son, was the pioneer.
After the death of Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne and continued to conduct military campaigns for many years before the general situation in the world was basically stabilized.
After Emperor Taizong's eldest son Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, he went out to patrol the border several times.
Only then did the country's strength gradually recover, and his eldest son also achieved the peak of civil society.
Therefore, after the eldest son emperor who had been carefully cultivated from generation to generation came down, Daliang also began to transform into Yanwu Xiuwen, which can be said to have reached the peak of Daliang.
Unfortunately, something unexpected happened. When Emperor Longxing came to be the emperor, he and I had cultivated him for twenty years. The prince, the eldest son of the government and the public, suddenly died of illness.
Emperor Longxing, who was already in poor health, was heartbroken and could no longer control the world. Therefore, before his death in the 28th year of Longxing, he was passed on to the second prince. The second prince is Emperor Longxing.
When Emperor Longxing reigned, his eldest son, Prince Xu, suddenly died of illness before he could devote all his attention to protecting and nurturing him.
This throne was snatched by the fourth prince at that time and now His Majesty Emperor Jiahe.
The terrible thing is that the government and the opposition can no longer tolerate a generation of emperors who are not their eldest sons!
Emperor Longxing was not the eldest son, and Emperor Jiahe was not the eldest son. If the next generation of emperors were not the eldest son either, it is unimaginable what would happen.
Although the thousands-year-old patriarchal system of eldest son inheritance has its drawbacks, in general the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, otherwise Confucianism would not be so firm in this system.
Throughout history.
Just like the Tang Dynasty.
But it wasn't because Li Shimin played Xuanwumen that the princes and princes of the Tang Dynasty almost lost their heads.
If the next emperor is to be the non-eldest son, for example, if the second prince takes the throne, doesn't it mean that other princes should compete for the throne.
It's all right now, the rules and regulations have been messed up, everything that the party wants to fight for as heirs has come out, don't let it get into any kind of chaos.
For example, her master's mother's family and her father's family were actually involved in the sudden death of Emperor Longxing's eldest brother, the prince, from an illness, and the family was ruined due to internal fighting over the power of Conglong.
This is also the main reason why Mr. Zhou was originally a second-level Jinshi in the fifteenth year of Longxing, but became a minister of the current Emperor Jiahe.
If he didn't do his best to help his current Majesty, Emperor Jiahe, the Zhou family, who had been framed by their in-laws, would have to suffer unjust injustice and would be unable to clear their names.
After hearing so much, think about it again, what if the current second prince and his sibling the ninth prince also want to imitate their grandfather and father and join forces to seize the throne?
Gu Erzhu seemed to understand why Mr. Zhou was no longer an official.
Not to mention that Mr. Zhou is obviously not stupid, even if it were him who couldn't read a few Chinese characters and didn't know how to clear his name, he would still mess around.
What if I give him the power of Conglong again? Maybe not even half of the family will be able to escape next time. Even if they escape, they won't be lucky enough to go back and make a comeback.
"You should worship such a smart person as your apprentice!"
Gu Erzhu knew very well why his old daughter-in-law told them so clearly, "This kind of person is the truly smart person.
Who doesn't want to be a high-ranking official, with good salary and long-term glory and wealth, but if he sees that the momentum is not right, he will immediately step down. This is not an ordinary person, Sanya. ”
Zhou Shushun nodded in agreement, "No, my Sanya is very timid, and she probably thinks that giving advice is different from becoming a disciple.
If she became a teacher, she would really be a teacher for one day and a father for life, so she was too timid to make a decision easily. ”
no.
Zhou Banxia was dumbfounded, thinking that after all, there are elders, and becoming a disciple is a big deal. It is best not to tell the elders, but to see what the regulations are.
"This is not cowardice, but our children respect their elders and should be cautious." Gu Erzhu did not agree with the correction and quickly returned to the topic, "If you want to become a disciple, how sure are you?"
"This question?" Zhou Banxia looked at Gu Wenxuan and glanced at Da Jiang, "I'm going to ask them both."
