Zhang You was really a little moved, the dignified son of heaven actually spoke to a courtier in such a tone, to be honest, it was a bit too much, when he said these words, the other party definitely did not treat himself as a courtier, such feelings are precious.

In fact, he didn't want to leave the capital, there was Tian Yi last time, and who would dare to guarantee that there would be no Chen Yi and Zhao Yi next time.

But Jiangnan is the important financial and tax land of the Ming Dynasty, the foundation of the country, and he is needed even more.

Of course, if he retreats to before having a relationship with Empress Dowager Li, he may be off the donkey, after all, Luo Sigong is also a trustworthy person, plus Xing Shangzhi and Qi Jiguang, even if he commands remotely, he is sure that Jiangnan will be completely in the hands of the imperial court, at most it will take a little more troubles.

But now it's different, whether it's Empress Dowager Li or Zhu Yijun here, disappearing for a while is the best choice - just slept with Zhu Yijun's wife, but Zhu Yijun still trusts him so much, he is really a little shameless.

"Your Majesty, why am I willing to leave you? But such an important place in the south of the Yangtze River, if it is not completely calmed down for a day, my heart will not be able to live in peace for a day. Have you forgotten those Hongyi cannons? There are also tens of millions of wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, these are all unstable factors for our Ming Dynasty......"

"I understand, I understand, I am...... Alas, I want to go to Jiangnan in person, but now I can only watch you go to Jiangnan for danger, I really can't bear it. ”

Zhang You smiled: "It's hard to say if you want to go to Jiangnan, give Weichen another two years, and when the time comes, Weichen will personally come to Beijing to pick you up and go to Jiangnan for inspection." Not only Jiangnan, waiting for our troops to become strong and well-equipped, thousands of miles of Daming, where you want to go, I will protect you wherever you go! ”

"Good!" Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, and he turned around and patted Zhang You's shoulder heavily: "Then I'll wait for you!" ”

When he came out of the palace, the palace gate had already been keyed, and along the way, all the people who should tell Cao Aijin arrived, and Zhang You waved his hand at him: "In the future, you can discuss the affairs in the palace with the queen and the Empress Dowager Li, and the affairs outside the palace can be discussed with my father or Luo Sigong. Let's go back! ”

Cao Aijin didn't speak, but suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily.

This is a dignified Dongchang factory man, actually kowtowed to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the soldiers standing guard at Donghuamen were dumbfounded, everyone finally recognized a reality, the situation has really changed, and the situation of the dominance of the Dongchang family in the future no longer exists, and the young man who was just in his early twenties has inevitably become the most powerful person in the entire Ming Dynasty after Zhu Yijun.

Zhang You understood what Cao Aijin meant, patted him on the shoulder with relief, turned around, and got into the carriage waiting next to him without hesitation.

Zhang You did not go back to the house directly, but got off the bus halfway in advance, and told Wei Guigui to still drive the empty car back to the house, so he disappeared into the darkness.

He was already very familiar with the capital, and it took him half an hour to finally come to an alley, walk to a door, and knock lightly.

After waiting for a while, the door opened, and a small servant poked his head out with a lantern: "You are ......"

"Zhang You, is your master here?"

The little guy was startled, hurriedly dodged to make way, waited for Zhang You to enter the door, and then walked out and looked around, then came back to close the door, and chattered: "The master has long told the little one, maybe one day the adult will come from the back door, and said that there is no need to pass the gift, the adult please come with the small one, the master is estimated not to have fallen asleep." ”

Zhang You didn't have the mood to talk to him, he didn't say anything all the way, and after walking for a short time, he was taken into a small courtyard, and the little guy rushed to the door, and soon, a middle-aged man hurriedly greeted him, and knelt down and saluted from afar: "Humble Hao Jiangtao see my lord." Although the attitude was very respectful, the tone was very cold.

"Get up, talk in the house." Zhang You didn't think it was wrong, strode into the house, and was not polite, and sat directly on the main seat.

"My lord is visiting all night, I'm afraid I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, right?" Hao Jiangtao then entered the door and asked lightly.

The little guy had already retreated knowing the opportunity, and closed the door tightly, leaving only Zhang You and Hao Jiangtao in the house.

"I know that although you were forced to fall to my side out of desperation, you still have some resentment in your heart, but you just keep your promise and don't want to break the contract."

"Your Excellency is serious." Hao Jiangtao said lukewarmly.

"I admit that it is indeed not fair to threaten your son's life, you are an upright and selfless person, and it is normal for you to not rub sand in your eyes, and not to look down on your eyes. There are some things that I don't want to say to you, but I'm about to leave Beijing, and I don't know if I can come back, so I'm here to find you and tell you what I mean from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Your Excellency is leaving Beijing?" Hao Jiangtao was stunned, Zhang You was in the middle of the day, how could a good person leave Beijing?

"That's right, when I went to Jiangnan, His Majesty didn't want me to go, so I took the initiative to go."

"Aren't you afraid that Grandpa Tian will make a comeback? In addition, the Jiangnan family regards you as a thorn in the flesh, and as the life-saving benefactor of the prince and the concubine, you don't have to wade into the troubled water. ”

"Reflexively shrinking, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!" As he spoke, Zhang You stood up, and his expression suddenly became a little excited: "Jiangnan is the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty, not the Jiangnan of some people, and the world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of some people." Maybe you don't want to believe it, but I still have to tell you that what I am fighting for is to let all the people in the world live a good life, so that my Ming Dynasty stands on the top of the world, all nations come to the court, all nations admire, in order to achieve this goal, I do not hesitate to pay any price, and I do not hesitate to use any means. ”

"It's a good thing to say, but what about the Daming Silver Number? Filling your own pockets, isn't it also for the sake of helping the people? Hao Jiangtao was unmoved, retorted coldly, and then, without waiting for Zhang You to speak, he quickly added: "Don't think that you can hide the accounts of the silver number, check all the accounts of the semicolon, I don't believe that you dare to speak out." ”

Zhang You suddenly laughed, looking very happy, Hao Jiangtao frowned: "What's so funny?" I don't have anything to say, right? ”

"I didn't look away from my eyes, you are really a talent. I admit that I did embezzle, and it was not a small amount. But you don't know what I'm sorry for...... Don't worry, listen to me, far away, Gewu is a bottomless pit that burns money, they have newly built a heat engine, only need water and fire and a large iron box, can complete the workload of fifteen people in the same time, this is still an immature product, even so, no less than 50,000 taels of silver have been invested. In addition, I have sent people to carry out topographic mapping and the exploration of mineral products, which is bound to be another costly project. There is also the reservoir of Miyun, and the water division base of Chongming...... None of these things are closely related to the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but it is impossible for any of them to get a penny of silver from the imperial court, even including the Miyun Reservoir, which is clearly beneficial to the people. What do you do? Don't you just do it? ”
