Chapter 65: Winning Trust
Zhu Qizhen sat on the throne, his face showing determination.
Is this turning grief into strength? Zhang Ning saluted, and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
"What did he say before he died?" Zhu Qizhen seemed to be angry, unwilling to mention Wang Zhen's name, and referred to him as "he".
Zhang Ning originally said Wang Zhen's words before his execution, and said: "Your Majesty is clear, the minister is wronged, the minister is just a small general banner, where does he have the ability to frame the Dongchang factory and the eunuch Bingbi?" ”
Zhu Qizhen was expressionless, as if the surface of a bottomless lake did not have a trace of ripples, which made Zhang Ning believe that he had been rewarded.
Again, is it temptation or trust?
After a long time, Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "He has always been duplicitous, so you don't have to mind." ”
"In order to avoid suspicion, please resign from the post of general flag." Zhang Ning looked strongly inhibited. On the way to the palace, he kept thinking about what attitude he should use to most realistically show the feeling of being wronged, and finally decided to make a gesture of resignation.
Of course, before entering the Qianqing Palace, he had already put the jade pendant on it.
Before Zhang Ning entered the palace on duty, everything about him had been presented to Zhu Qizhen's case, and it can be said that Zhu Qizhen knew his life for fifteen years better than him. And the reason why he passed the review and became the general banner of Jinyiwei was entirely because he met Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen moved his heart and revealed the test questions, and he was admitted. If he hadn't figured it out, he would have taken a group of noble children to fight in the streets.
Thinking of the scene of Zhang Ning asking for test questions in the restaurant, Zhu Qizhen was moved.
For him, the future did not come easily. But in order to avoid suspicion, he actually offered to resign.
Thinking of Zhang Ning's company for more than two months, a warm current flowed through Zhu Qizhen's heart. Unlike Wang Zhen, who kept saying that he wanted him to be a Mingjun and had strict requirements for him, Zhang Ning was more of a companion, in the days when Zhang Ning was on duty in the palace, he was bored, Zhang Ning was his best friend, and he was with him to pass the boring time; He has something on his mind, Zhang Ning is still his best friend, listen to him pour out his heart, and relieve him of boredom.
The friendship between the two grew deeper and deeper in the ordinary time.
is such a person, and now not only tells Wang Zhen's words before his death word for word, but even asks to leave in order to avoid suspicion.
When Zhu Qizhen received Cao Jixiang's report, he had some doubts in his heart, but now he was only moved.
Zhang Ning treats me sincerely.
He got up and left his seat, came to Zhang Ning, and said, "Qing doesn't have to be like this. ”
Is this retention? Zhang Ning said: "As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are also good, and when a bird is about to die, his song is also sad." Wang Zhen framed the minister before he died, and the minister jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away, so he had to resign. ”
"I believe Qing is innocent." Zhu Qizhen has respected Wang Zhen as a teacher for nearly ten years, and his accusations are not spoken.
He paused and said, "He has repeatedly prevented Xuanqing from coming over to chat, and he has many derogatory words about Qingqing, and he has also taken the opportunity of dying to harm Qing's life. Qing doesn't have to deal with a dead man. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Ning saluted again, and couldn't help but smile on his face, looking very happy.
Zhang Ning is indeed very happy, Zhu Qizhen can say this, it can be seen that he is really disappointed in Wang Zhen. You must know that on the original historical track, Wang Zhen caused him to be captured, and after returning to the capital, he was imprisoned in Nangong for his younger brother Zhu Qiyu.
More than 100 ministers died in Tumu Fort, and very few of the more than 200,000 elites could escape back, how could he have erected a temple and a monument for these people? It can be seen how deep his feelings for Wang Zhen are.
Now he finally woke up and saw Wang Zhen's true face. Among them, there is Zhang Ning's point-to-point reminder, and the blessing of Yu Pei's luck, but it is more about Zhu Qizhen's own IQ online. On the original historical track, he has always been obsessed, but he lives in the deep palace and does not know anyone.
Killing Wang Zhen was a crucial step in reversing the fiasco of Tumubao, and Zhang Ning did it. What he didn't expect was that Wang Zhen's words before he died plunged him into a crisis.
Fortunately, he took retreat as advance to perfectly eliminate the suspicion in Zhu Qizhen's heart. Sure enough, it is important to be alive, how can the dead fight the living? Zhang Ning did not relax his vigilance at the same time, and kept pinching the time, for fear that a quarter of an hour would turn doom.
Zhu Qizhen showed a rare smile and said, "I still have government affairs to deal with, so let's go to duty first." ”
Wang Zhen was executed today, Zhu Qizhen didn't sleep all night last night, he was absent-minded in the early dynasty, he had no intention of dealing with political affairs after he dispersed the dynasty, and when he got a secret report, he was even more suspected of killing Mr. unjustly, until Zhang Ning came back and conveyed Wang Zhen's words before his death word for word, his heart was opened.
If Zhang Ning played a role in the whole thing, it was that on the way back to the Qianqing Palace from Cishou Palace, he pointed out that Wang Zhen took advantage of the emperor's favor to do mischief, and if he had treated the emperor as a student, he would not have done so.
It was this sentence that woke up Zhu Qizhen and made Zhu Qizhen agree to interrogate, so things got out of control, and finally sent Wang Zhen to the guillotine.
Can this be said that Zhang Ning framed him? No. People tell the truth.
When Zhu Qizhen thought of this, his mood was even better.
…………
Zhang Ning immediately took off the jade pendant when he left the Zhaoren Palace, and at the same time secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat. A conversation may seem ordinary, but in fact there are hidden risks. The human heart is the most unpredictable, and the heart of the emperor is as deep as the sea, is it not easy to win the emperor's trust?
Fortunately, there is a jade pendant, otherwise I am afraid that Zhu Qizhen will really allow him to resign from the post of general banner.
Zhang Ning rubbed the jade pendant and sighed that luck is really important.
Standing still in front of the steps of the duty, he seemed to be watching the faint clouds in the sky, but in fact, he went through the dialogue in the temple in his mind to make sure that there were no mistakes.
Matters related to the emperor are all major events, and they cannot be careless.
He really relaxed, only to feel that the sky was bluer, the sun was brighter, and he was in a better mood.
About half an hour later, a beautiful girl in a blue dress came slowly, stopped in front of him, and looked up at him.
Zhang Ning pretended to salute: "I've seen the county lord." ”
It's Yoyo who arrived.
Youyou's very bright eyes looked at him for a while, revealing two shallow dimples: "Wang Zhen was executed?" ”
"Not yet, Ling Chi can't cut it in one day, and he won't die until tomorrow."
Yoyo rolled his eyes playfully and said, "You know I didn't mean that." ”
Zhang Ning smiled and said, "Yes, although I am not dead now, it is no different from death." Why don't you go and see the excitement? "Is it because the scene is too bloody to go?
"I'm going to serve the decoction in the palace. Did you tell Imperial Doctor Hu anything? He changed the medicine, and the imperial grandmother's jade body was much better, and she slept one hour less every day. ”
"That's good." Zhang Ning said.
There is nothing to say about Doctor Hu's medical skills, but the important thing is that he is willing to accept the opinions of others and has the courage to try.
You looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around, and then said in a low voice: "I didn't help you, the imperial grandmother has her own idea." ”
It was for this purpose. Zhang Ning smiled: "I'm just in case, the Empress Dowager is already disgusted with him, it's better if you don't get involved in these things." ”
"It's hard for you." Yoyo sighed, he was only fifteen years old, and he was in danger.
Zhang Ning said cheekily: "If you think I'm good, marry me." ”
"The imperial grandmother misses her father, and she has the meaning of announcing that her father will enter Beijing, if your father arrives in Beijing, you might as well ......" The more you say, the lower your voice becomes, and the more you say, the redder your face becomes.
Zhang Ning was about to take the opportunity to talk nonsense, when he saw Cao Jixiang walking over with a strange face, and muttered in a low voice as he walked: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, they dare to beat Master Ma to death." ”
