What to do?

The same questions that arise from the same person begin to plague another group of people. 【】

"British duke, do you always have an idea?" After a period of turmoil, people turned their eyes to an old man sitting at the top.

British Gong Zhang Mao is now nearly seventy years old, but his spirit has always been very strong, but at this time, he looks sad, and even the wrinkles on his face have increased a lot.

Since he was ten years old, his father Zhang Fu died in Tumubao, and it has been nearly sixty years now, Zhang Mao doesn't know how many winds and waves he has experienced, but he has never been so restless as he is today, probably only when he was ten years old, will it be like this?

Mind? He secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, what idea could he have, did he still think it was orthodox years ago?

At that time, the name of the British Duke was really useful, even Wang Zhen, who was in power and in the opposition, and his father dared to directly confront him in person, just ask which Wenchen dared to do this at that time? Iron-clad? If you don't have the strength to support you, the iron pestle will turn into noodles.

But since the civil fort, the status of the nobles has deteriorated, and Zhu Hui, who asked the question, was still a little tossed in the early years, but in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, he was not also suppressed by the civil officials.

In that year, the fire screen and the little prince invaded Ningxia, and the right capital Yu Shi Lin asked for help, and the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to respond to the order, and in the end it was the honorable who came out, and Zhu Hui, the prince of the country, led the army to retreat from the enemy. But the result?

The ministers believed that he only beheaded the twelfth level, recovered 4,000 people, reported that there were more than 10,000 meritorious soldiers who smashed the nest, and Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, and Liu Jian, a university scholar, did not hold the book, and then, on the grounds that the army disturbed the people and hurt a lot of money, it was on the grounds of no merit and fault, and the imperial historians also impeached one after another, setting off a wave of speech.

If it weren't for Emperor Xiaozong's wisdom and resolute refusal, Zhu Hui would not only toss in vain this trip, but might also fold his family name and life.

Actually, isn't this nonsense, decapitation of the twelfth level can recover 4,000 people and livestock? The ministers themselves don't understand military affairs, and they don't understand the accounts, but they treat everyone in the world as fools, and suppressing military exploits is not such a suppression method, right?

Zhang Mao felt that this matter was extremely ridiculous, but he was helpless, who made the Wenchen fists big?

After the orthodox year, the military power of the Beijing camp fell into the hands of the scholars, and the first emperor used Zhu Hui after he came of age, with the intention of revitalizing himself with the power of the nobles, but he died young. If you think about things in the worst way, Zhang Mao also agrees with the rumor that came out of the night of thunder and fire, Emperor Xiaozong did die strangely, but he was in such a hurry.

After the death of Emperor Xiaozong, taking advantage of the little prince's invasion of Xuanfu, the ministers quickly transferred Zhu Hui out of the capital, and when he returned, the command of the Beijing camp had changed hands, and the ministers were fully prepared, which was already evident.

After living at such an age, Zhang Mao has seen these things in the court very thoroughly, Zhu Hui's resignation is not accidental, but the trend of the times, and the ministers will not allow the nobles and the imperial power to join forces again to compete with them, so he also plans to be a rich man with peace of mind.

But who would have thought that things suddenly changed again, Xie Hong's birth, and the reversal of the night of thunder and fire, made Zhang Mao greatly surprised, overnight, the sky changed, and the imperial power rose again with an unstoppable momentum, so that he, the old Jianghu, could not deal with it.

That's a good thing, and it's not a good thing.

has been pressed on the head for so many years, and the opponents are unlucky, and these people themselves are also very angry, of course, it is very refreshing. However, not being able to get a kick in this big drama is not only a matter of regret, it is very fatal.

What is Xungui? Those are all people who have made achievements from the dragon in the process of changing the dynasty.

Taizu founded the country, that is to change the dynasty; It is difficult to become an ancestor, and it is also a change of dynasty; The substitution of the Emperor and the restoration of the Emperor are all changes of dynasty, and only at this time will new nobles emerge.

Today's Zhengde Dynasty is actually changing the dynasty, the scholars are saying that they are declining, but the imperial power is aggressive, which is just the opposite of before, but these people have not been able to catch up in this process. So, when the new nobles rise, can they still have their own places?

Zhang Mao himself can think about it, he is a lot older, and he has been suppressed by the civil officials for 60 years, and there is nothing unwilling or uncomfortable, no matter how arrogant Xie Hong's new nobles are, can they be more unreasonable than the civil officials?

However, those young people can't be calm, in fact, it's not just young people, Zhu Hui is about the same age as himself, isn't he the same breathless? Otherwise, how could he have summoned so many people to discuss with him for the sake of a few acres of land?

Zhang Mao pinched his eyebrows and said helplessly: "It's just a few acres of land, what the emperor said is not unreasonable, we are in the capital, what is the matter with occupying the fields of the military town?" It's okay to return it, and the emperor doesn't want to rob it, isn't there a football game? ”

"It's not a matter of a few acres of land, British Duke, you always think about it, the Ming Dynasty has today, our ancestors have shed blood and made meritorious contributions, and a courtier said a word, he wanted to deprive us of our land, why?"

Zhang Mao raised his eyes and saw that it was Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, who spoke, so his smile became even more bitter, this master is the most troublesome kind. The young man always felt that there was nothing to do in the world, but he didn't want to think about it, so why was Xie Hong just a courtier? Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even if you check all the historical books, how can you find a courtier who covers the sky in the court?

What's more, looking at Xie Hong's policies, they are all targeted, courageous and skillful, even compared to those famous ministers who founded the Ming Dynasty, it seems that they are not inferior, how can they be called only by the word "courtier"?

Shallow, too shallow, looking at Xu Guangzuo, who made a generous statement, Zhang Mao sighed deeply.

"Yes, grandpa, there are two if there is one, if this time it is in accordance with Governor Xie's wishes, then he has the sweetness, what will he do next time? Now the implementation of the new policy is only three sides, but look at his appearance, there is a great momentum from north to south, sweeping down, if the acres of land are taken away by him, what will we do in the future with such a large family in Ningguofu? ”

This time it was Zhang Lun, the son of Ning Guo, who spoke. Zhang Mao's age is already considered a long life in the Ming Dynasty, his eldest son died early, leaving only such a grandson, so he is also taken care of, although under his teaching, there is no such frivolous temperament, but there is no such calm as himself.

However, what Zhang Lun said is right, there are a lot of people in Ning Guofu, Zhang Mao alone has more than 100 concubines, and it is strange that Ning Guofu's relatives can be few.

"Dongyang, what do you say, isn't it also planning to have a hard top?" Ignoring the two young men, he looked up at Zhu Hui, and Zhang Mao asked in a deep voice.

"Although it's just a verbal message, the emperor has already issued an order, of course we can't ignore it as courtiers, not to mention, with the current means and style in the palace, a hard top is not a good way, to be honest, we can......'t stand it."

Zhu Hui has been fighting abroad with his father Zhu Yong since he was a teenager, and now although he is dying of old age and has suffered many setbacks in recent years, his heroic spirit has not diminished at all, and he speaks quite methodically, although he does not say much, but his analysis of the pros and cons is quite incisive.

What are the methods and tempers of righteousness, as long as you look at the situation of the scholars, you can know how desolate the scholars and doctors who were invincible in the past are now. Zhu Hui is not stupid, the nobles can't even bear the civil officials, how can they be stronger if they are replaced by a more ruthless one?

"However, what the prince said is not unreasonable, the new policy implemented in the border town has many drawbacks, and Ji, Xuaner Town is quite resentful, but because of Xie Hong's strength, no one dares to uphold it, if he is allowed to get it easily this time, then our fields in Gyeonggi will not be dangerous? I've got to find a way to get around. ”

"Alas, the emperor has made up his mind, how can this be turned around?" Zhang Mao spread his hands, Zhengde's style does not have so many twists and turns, he is straightforward debut judgment questions, the answer can only be chosen between yes and no, and it is impossible to swing in the middle.

"Mao Gong, looking at it from Hui's point of view, although the emperor's surname has not changed, he is still reasonable......" Zhu Hui's words attracted the attention of a room of people, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, and there was some weird taste in it, will the emperor be reasonable today? Liu Daxia and the others will come back to life crying.

"Ahem, although the truth may not be so ...... Follow the rules, but the emperor is indeed reasonable. Zhu Hui hurriedly defended: "The emperor's dictation is also clear to everyone, he said, to use football to gamble, if we lose, we will hand over the acres of Jizhen, if we win, he will use the acres of Huangzhuang to replace with us, in fact, it is quite fair." ”

"Don't be fooled by the Duke of Baoguo, the emperor has been practicing in Xiyuan, baseball and billiards, one is more powerful than the other, and now he suddenly takes out a football, who knows if it's a conspiracy." He has been practicing for a long time in advance, how can we be opponents in a hurry? ”

A group of young people shouted, they also formed a baseball team, and every time they lost miserably in front of Zhengde's guards, where did they dare to fight when they heard the gambling fight?

"Don't shout, my father read the booklet sent by the palace, this football is similar to Keju, don't you usually play it?" Zhu Hui stopped everyone's shouting, then took out a booklet from his sleeve, shook it at everyone, and finally turned to Zhang Mao and said, "As for whether the emperor has practiced in advance, then please ask the British duke." ”

"Well, if it's just like that, it's not difficult, but ......" Although it has been very low-key, but the old department and connections of the British Duke are quite remarkable, after the night of thunder and fire, the Wenchen forces have completely withdrawn from the Forbidden City, but Zhang Mao still has some old troops in the palace, and it is definitely not possible to let these forbidden troops rebel, if it is just to pass on a message, it is not hindered.

However, Zhang Mao has always pursued the principle of Taoguang and obscurity, and in his mind, it is just some acres of land, wouldn't it be better to simply offer it with both hands? What's more, go against the emperor again?

"Don't worry, the little brother has his own opinions, if the emperor doesn't practice in advance and set a trap, this is a good thing." Zhu Hui smiled meaningfully.
