Zhang Ru followed Zhang An out of the second stall in Fenglin Town, in a house in Renshoufang, the capital where few people knew what kind of people lived, an old man with white hair was full of color, and several precious purple clay pots had been broken on the ground.

In front of the old man, kneeling was a middle-aged man about thirty years old, with eyes like copper bells, eyes like eagle falcons, hands like pu fans, and a burly figure.

"What are you going to do!" The old man raised his hand and slapped the man in the face.

The dignified seven-foot man was slapped by an old man who was about to die, but he still maintained a very respectful kneeling posture.

The old man was dressed in a rough manner and scolded: "You don't know what the surname Zhang is, now he finally fell into Pingyang, if you don't take this opportunity to beat him to death with a stick." In the future, as long as His Majesty remembers that there is such a person as Zhang Wenxuan above the court, it will be more difficult to take him down than to ascend to the sky.

The eight hundred elite soldiers in Jizhen couldn't take Zhang Wenxuan, who only brought thirty remnants of the defeated general. What's more, there is a shadow by his side, what the hell are you eating! ”

The man explained very sneeringly: "The subordinates transferred troops without the knowledge of the chief soldier, and later General Zhang, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, came." His brothers did not dare to disobey General Zhang's wishes, so they could only watch General Zhang take people away. ”

"Then there is still half a day before Zhang An comes, what are you doing in this half a day. Eight hundred, eight hundred people is enough to bulldoze a Maple Forest Town, you have to wait until Zhang An arrives to do it! "The old man lifted his leg with a kick.

He attributed all the mistakes of this defeat to the man in front of him.

The man got up and continued to maintain a kneeling position: "The lord ordered that there should be no big battle, so"

"Are you a pig? The old man said that he wouldn't make too much of a fight, and he also said that you should weigh it yourself. Don't you know when to do it and when you can't? At that time, Jinyiwei's Tiqi had already left Fenglin Town, and the fans of Dongchang had not yet had time to arrive. It's when God doesn't know it. You killed Zhang Wenxuan's family in one afternoon, who knows that you did it. "The old man is about to be transported by this man, and he can't wait to kill him with a knife.

However, this man was one of his more loyal subordinates, and he didn't want to kill his own people in a moment of anger.

The strength of the generals he can use now is too weak, if it weren't for the fact that this man's younger brother was his protégé, he wouldn't even be able to call this man.

"Please give your subordinates another chance, and your subordinates will not miss this time." The man pleaded.

The old man waved his hand impatiently: "Give you another chance, give you another chance to drag the old man into the water!" Now that Zhang Wenxuan is protected by Zhang An, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, and Zhang An has 100,000 elite soldiers under his command, each of whom is a veteran who has retired from the Datong front. The 12th Regiment Battalion of the Beijing Army may not be an opponent if it is against the old soldiers of Xuanfu, as far as you have 800 people in Jizhen, what can you do with him! This is like this in advance, the teacher will go back to your thistle town to do your part, and you don't have to worry about other things. ”

"Yes, my lord, then I'll go first." The strong man stood up and bowed slightly.

The old man ignored it, and the strong man left directly.

As soon as he got out of the house, the strong man walked twenty feet, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and let out a long breath.

The old man in the house walked back and forth uneasily, did he sigh. Zhang Ru is still alive, which means that this Marfa will continue to haunt him, and it has become not so easy to kill Zhang Ru.

After the strong man left, he walked around for about five or six miles, making sure that no one was following him, and then he got into a small alley. He toe a little on the ground, and the whole person flew into the air, and the wall of the alley, which was not too high, was turned over by him.

On the other side of the wall, the man did not leave immediately, but pressed his ear to the wall and listened to the movement on this side of the wall.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, he didn't hear any movement on the side of the wall, and the strong man patted his chest and ran towards the front quickly.

In the east square of the inner city, in a dilapidated small house, the man who was beaten by the old man in the mansion before and didn't dare to say anything was standing next to a Confucian in Tsing Yi and bowed his head slightly.

"Childe, the matter is done, and the old guy believes my words for the time being. Now that Lord Zhang is safe for the time being, the old guy can't think of any good way to kill people under the protection of Mr. Zhang. The strong man said word by word.

The young man looked at the fingerprints on the strong man's face, took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to the strong man: "Brother, I have wronged you this time." The next time I see Zhang Wenxuan, my brother will ask for justice for you. ”

The strong man smiled shyly: "Childe is serious, this little humiliation is nothing, as long as the Hou Ye is safe, everything is worth it." ”

The young man smiled: "Zhang Wenxuan wants to know that you are so maintained, I don't know if he will be moved to tears." During this time, you should pay more attention to the movements of the border army and the bandits and bandits from all walks of life, as long as someone dares to accept the old guy's business, there is no need to hesitate to exterminate them on the spot.

There are not many active people in Jizhen, Li Ming's guy is too close, and his relationship with General Zhang is not bad, so he can't easily mobilize the people under Li Ming's command. ”

"Childe, let's mobilize people so much, if the court finds out, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat and walk around." The strong man said with a worried face.

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, the court doesn't want you, I want you." As long as you don't die, my son has a way to save you. ”

The strong man was puzzled and asked: "Childe, except for a Wenxuan number that is of some use to us, this Wenxuan is useless now." Why did Childe bother so much to help him? ”

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "If you want to study more, you are just a deaf ear." He Zhang Wenxuan and I met and intersected, and I also gave full help to this point. ”

"Then why did you hide it from him?" The strong man was still puzzled.

The young man in Tsing Yi explained: "Brother, do you say that he will be grateful if he ran over and told Zhang Wenxuan that I helped him, or one day he found out through his own efforts that I was helping him so that he could be grateful?" Helping others is also a science. To put it simply, he and I were only general friends, talking for only three or five days, and being tired of being crooked for only three or five days, and then we didn't cross paths for several years.

Originally, this kind of relationship was unbreakable, at that time he was the Hou Ye, and I was just a small people, so naturally I couldn't climb high.

Now that Zhang Wenxuan's tiger has fallen in Pingyang, when those cats and dogs jumped out to kill him, I can pull him silently, and when he goes straight to the sun, it will be the time when my Xie family takes off. ”

The strong man seemed to understand and said: "Oh, so that's the case, alas, my brain is really not good enough." ”

As he spoke, he slapped his head hard.

The young man laughed and said: "The so-called hearing has a precedence, and there is a specialization in the art industry. Brother, your ability is not here, why force it. But it's always right to read more, next time you see Zhang Wenxuan, let him, the guy with eighteen bends in his head, teach you. ”

"Well, that's all I have for my brain. If Childe is okay, I'll go first. The strong man smiled helplessly.

The young man said, "Well, okay! If the elder brother goes back this time, he may be scolded by Li Ming, but the elder brother should not be angry. Even if Li Ming puts you under house arrest, don't resist. One bite is to take the old thing's money, and the old thing threatens you with your brother, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

"Don't worry!" The strong man nodded vigorously, opened the dilapidated door and left.

The young man sat alone in the dilapidated house, his eyes were a little foggy, and after a while, he got up and walked out of the door, and after a few circles, he disappeared into the night.

Zhang Ru has arrived at Xuanfu, but there is more and more undercurrent surging in the capital.

On October 19 of the fourth year of Hongzhi, Qiu Jun, a member of the Cabinet University, wrote to resign, but the emperor did not allow it.

On October 21 of the fourth year of Hongzhi, Qiu Jun, a cabinet scholar, resigned again, but the emperor still refused to allow it.

On October 23 of the fourth year of Hongzhi, Qiu Jun, a member of the Cabinet University, Xie Qian, a scholar of the Cabinet University, Wang Shu, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, Ma Wensheng, a scholar of the Ministry of War, and Tu Tu, the imperial history of Zuodu, jointly resigned.

The emperor did not allow it.

That night, Zhu Youzhu ordered Wang to send a direct message and summon the ministers in the Dongnuan Pavilion.

At the moment, the ministers arrived one after another, and the atmosphere in the Dongnuan Pavilion was extremely tense, the emperor's face was so gloomy that he was about to come out of the water, but the courtiers below were indifferent.

"Give me a reason." Zhu Youjiao's anger that had been brewing for a long time was not vented in the end, the people in front of him were all pillars of talent, if there were no these old ministers to help deal with state affairs, the Ming Dynasty would be missing half of the country.

Knowing this, although he was extremely dissatisfied, he still maintained his apparent calmness.

Qiu Jun didn't raise his eyelids: "The old minister is old, and he has been unwell recently, and he has been sick. I am afraid that due to physical reasons, it will be bad for the affairs of His Majesty's family and country, so I resign. ”

What the emperor wants is not Qiu Jun's explanation alone, he wants other people's explanations, after all, Qiu Jun has resigned twice before, and he didn't agree to it both times.

It is reasonable for Qiu Jun to resign again, but everyone else chose to resign at the same time on this day, which is inevitably a little too much. What he didn't know was that if it weren't for Qiu Jun and others to stop him, he was afraid that this time there would be at least a dozen nobles including Baoguo Gong asking to return to old age.

His eyes fell on Xie Qian, and the old master had no idea of explaining, so he simply kept silent.

Wang Shu took a step forward and said: "The grandson of the micro-minister, Wang Zhou, is a party of thieves Zhang Ru, and the old minister has to resign in order to avoid suspicion." ”

Ma Wensheng also listed: "Weichen's reason is the same as Wang Shangshu, and the rebel Ma Xuan, although he is the general soldier of Datong, he has a good relationship with Zhang Thief, and this matter is spread, I am afraid that it will mess up His Majesty's name." ”

Tu Yun took a step forward, but before he could open his mouth, Zhu Youzhu had already grabbed the pen on the table and threw it to the ground, he stood up with a bang, and pointed at several ministers with trembling fingers and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you are either trying to avoid suspicion or being unwell." What kind of bullshit reason are you Tu Tu, say, what kind of reason are you!

I asked myself if I treated you well, and you want to abandon me, okay, good! ”
