Chapter 6 Coercion and Inducement

Zhu Xu nodded with satisfaction and followed the family to walk inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Xiaguan has seen His Royal Highness King Hui." In front of the lobby door, Zhang Wenda, who was dressed in homely clothes, clasped his fists and saluted Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu's eyes couldn't help but narrow, looking at the person in front of him.

The facial features are all said to be fair, with a goatee, and a calm expression with this faint sharp color, restrained and slightly leaking.

For a while, Zhu Xu's thoughts fluttered.

To say that in the early years of the Apocalypse, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, what Zhu Xu admired the most was not the first assistant Ye Xianggao, who struggled to maintain the overall situation, nor Wang An, who was known as the prime minister, let alone Wei Zhongxian, but this Zhang Wenda.

Zhang Wenda, the secretary of the ministry, the handler and even the planner of the three major cases of the Apocalypse! If he hadn't been appointed early, it would have been a matter of time before the first assistant of the cabinet came, and he would not have been ruined by Wei Zhongxian's whole family.

Cao Wenzhao saw Zhu Xu looking at Zhang Wenda in a daze, Zhang Wenda also silently maintained his posture, and couldn't help whispering in his ear, "Your Highness." ”

Zhu Xu raised his head, came to his senses, looked at Zhang Wenda in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "Forgive me, Lord Zhang, this is the first time this king has seen you, and it is inevitable that he will be a little at a loss." ”

Zhang Wenda got up, he was only in his early forties this year, he was in the prime of life, but he didn't care about paying more respects, he looked at Zhu Xu when he heard the words, and said with an expression of official business, no official business, please leave: "I don't know what His Royal Highness King Hui has to say to the lower official mansion today?" ”

Never mention the queen's message.

Zhu Xu just used that as an excuse to enter the door, and seeing that Zhang Wenda didn't ask, he put his hands behind his back and pretended to say: "This king came in a hurry and didn't eat, didn't Lord Zhang invite this king to eat together?" ”

Zhang Wenda's expression remained unchanged, and he still had the same expression, and said, "Your Highness, forgive me, the lower official mansion is full of coarse tea and light rice, and it can't be in the eyes of His Highness." If His Highness has any orders, the lower officials will immediately send someone to do it. ”

Zhu Xu pursed his lips, he was really hungry. But the Lord Zhang in front of him is clear-minded and cunning like a fox, and he is not so easy to deal with as Luo Yangxing. After a little silence, he said to Cao Wenzhao with a little disgust: "That's right, you go to the Drunken Immortal Mansion to pack a few of their best dishes, and now the RB King and Master Zhang will have a meal together." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about Zhang Wenda, bypassed him, and walked straight to the lobby.

Zhang Wenda looked slightly stunned, and then his right index finger groped for the wrench on his thumb, his brows moved slightly, and then followed Zhu Xu in.

Zhu Xu walked to the chair in the lobby and sat down, and said warmly to Zhang Wenda who walked in, "Master Zhang, don't be polite, just sit casually." ”

Zhang Wenda paused his index finger, and then said, "Your Highness Xie." Then sit on Zhu Xu's right across the table.

Zhu Xu sat down, put his left hand on the table, and tapped his four fingers on the tabletop, like the sound of horses' hooves, which sounded in the quiet lobby.

Zhang Wenda was born as a Jinshi, and in terms of official position, he is known as the head of the six ministries, and in terms of status, even if it is the first assistant to stay up for two years, he has done it, and he is even more famous in the literary world, known as everyone.

He sat upright on the side, his expression did not move, but his afterglow swept towards Zhu Xu from time to time, and he secretly speculated in his heart.

Nowadays, there are more and more evil deeds of Wei thieves that cannot be stopped, and there have been many ministers in the DPRK who have failed to impeach them, and those who have resigned have resigned, and those who have been degraded externally, even if he is a minister of the ministry, he is under great pressure and has to resign.

This His Royal Highness King Hui is only ten years old, who is his lobbyist when he comes today?

Emperor, Wei Eunuch, Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Soviet Party?

Zhang Wenda's thoughts flashed in his heart, but his expression did not move.

Zhu Xu was rumbling in his stomach while thinking about it. Although I have inquired about this Zhang Shangshu's personality preferences before, I feel that things are not as simple as I think when we meet now, and they are very tricky.

I'm afraid it's impossible for him to stay in office. Zhu Xu whispered to himself.

Zhu Xu was silent for a while, brewing a slightly more serious atmosphere, and then said, "I heard that Master Zhang is going to resign and return to his hometown?" ”

Zhang Wenda did not despise or snub Zhu Xu at all, and immediately bowed slightly when he heard the words: "Back to Your Highness, my mother is seriously ill, and the lower officials want to return to their hometown to fulfill their filial piety." ”

Filial piety, this word is omnipotent and invincible in this era, no matter if you have a great reason, as soon as these two words are mentioned, everyone has to be silent and give way.

Zhu Xu had already seen this reason on his fold, and deliberately thought about it: "This king has invited the imperial brother to bring the old man to the capital, and there is a special imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, I think the old lady will be more moved by the filial piety of the adult." ”

Zhang Wenda shook his head and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, my mother is old and can't stand the bumps of this long journey." ”

Zhu Xu said: "Brother Huang also said so, he has sent the imperial doctor to Jingyang, Lord Zhang's hometown, so you don't need to return to your hometown in a hurry." ”

Zhang Wenda's already thought out rhetoric was suddenly beaten back, the emperor's love is obvious, is it possible that he still doesn't know how to resist because of this?

"Your Highness, the meal is here." At this time, Cao Wenzhao strode in with a box.

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Wenda's expression, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, and said to Zhang Wenda: "Come, Master Zhang will use a little together." ”

Zhang Wenda took this opportunity to avoid Zhu Xu's pursuit, and when he heard the words, he said: "It's good to accompany the officials." ”

Zhu Xu was no longer polite and devoured it.

Zhang Wenda sat on the side, glanced at Cao Wenzhao, and turned out all the information about Zhu Xu in his heart, but found that there was not much, except for the relationship with the queen's mother-in-law and mother-in-law, who was taken care of, it was the same carpenter hobby as the current emperor's brother.

But thinking back to Zhu Xu's words before, even if someone taught him behind him, it was impossible to handle it so appropriately, forcing him to be speechless.

Zhang Wenda took the opportunity to look at Zhu Xu again, and his fingers unconsciously groped for the wrench on his thumb again.

Zhu Xu ate a whirlwind, and finally wiped his mouth with a full burp, and looked at Zhang Wenda and said straight to the point: "Guozi Jian Xie Lao is going to return to his hometown, the emperor has approved it, is Lord Zhang intentional?" "Since you can't let him stay as the secretary of the ministry, at least you can't let him leave Beijing.

Guozijian is similar to the president of the Executive Yuan in later generations, and it is not an exaggeration to have protΓ©gΓ©s all over the world.

However, this is really not much temptation for the official who is in charge of the fate of the officials in the world, Zhang Wenda shook his head slightly, and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, the officials ask themselves if it is okay to be an official, but the knowledge is not enough to serve as the priest of the country." ”

Zhu Xu naturally didn't have this idea, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Zhang is modest, this king should have been enlightened a long time ago, but the queen mother was reluctant to keep dragging this king, the day before yesterday, the emperor discussed with the queen mother, let this king choose a teacher by himself, and the first thing that came to mind was Lord Zhang." ”

Zhu Xu said that he was sincere, and he almost had to apprentice on the spot. And in a word, several kings are deliberately pinching their identities.

Zhang Wenda's expression moved slightly, he didn't expect this possibility, he speculated in his heart about the intentions of the people behind Zhu Xu, but said: "The lower officials ask themselves about their knowledge, whether it is above the temple or outside the temple, there are countless great Confucian masters, why does His Royal Highness fancy the lower officials?" ”

Just don't get on the road, old fox! Zhu Xu slandered in his stomach.
