As soon as the court meeting dispersed, Zhu Jianshen immediately put on civilian clothes and took the palace guards out of the noon gate.

Datong's side is not trivial, if one is not good, I am afraid that the Tatars will really be able to break through a few lines of defense and then drive straight in.

So even if he is the emperor, he has to pull down his face and beg his milk brother.

If he thinks that killing Zhang Ru doesn't matter, then it's okay if he doesn't go to see Zhang Ru, but the key is that Zhu Youzhu is not the kind of person who doesn't care about justice at all, he can remove Zhang Ru's title and deprive Zhang Ru of his official position, but he can't take Zhang Ru's life.

There was a scarce chatter at the door, and before the emperor arrived, someone gave the letter to Zhang Ru first.

Zhang Ru didn't say a word about the attack in the court, anyway, it was all a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these ghost things. Zhu Youzhang's attitude is intriguing, he seems to be unable to let go of this brotherhood with Zhang Ru, and he seems to be unwilling for Zhang Ru to be too involved in court politics.

The political wind has changed, and there are many more visitors to the cold Dingbian Marquis Mansion.

For these people, Zhang Ru did not see them all, and put on a posture.

At night, it was dark and deep, and the pony cart pounded on the blue brick floor, making a very crisp but not pleasant sound.

The study room is brightly lit, and there is a white rice paper on the long table, and a few large characters on the paper are strong and powerful, and the force penetrates the back of the paper.

Stop fighting!

The four big characters are full of Zhang Ru's expectations and the purpose of the battle.

"Master Hou, there is a noble person visiting." The one-armed Menzi said softly.

Zhang Ru pursed his moderately thick lips and spit out two words: "I don't see." ”

"Brother Tiger, even I don't want to see you anymore, it seems that you are really angry." Zhu Youjiao's voice came from outside the door, and there was a lot of loneliness in his tone.

"The grass people are a little tired today, Your Majesty, please go back!" Zhang Ru's voice was full of coldness.

Menzi felt in a dilemma, on one side was the emperor, and he couldn't afford to offend at all; On the other side is his boss who has been with him for a long time, and although he is nothing now, Menzi is still grateful to him.

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand to signal Menzi to leave, and then directly pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhang Ru, who was sitting at the table, looked blank, and his eyes were fixed on the four big characters on the rice paper.

A person came in at the door, he didn't raise his head, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Didn't I say that I was tired today?" ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled bitterly: "Brother Tiger, I am the emperor. ”

Zhang Ru frowned: "So what." ”

"There are a lot of things I have to do."

"You don't want to do it, no one can force you."

"Looks like you're still angry."

"Do I look like someone who doesn't get angry?"

"How can you forgive me?"

"No, please get out, I want to rest."

Zhu Youzhu not only did not leave, but sat down by himself: "Father's edict, the world is decided, kill Zhang Ru." I didn't kill you out of brotherhood. The courtiers wrote to me asking me to confiscate your name, but after thinking about it again and again, I decided to leave you some silver.

I am the emperor, and many times I can't think about many things from my own standpoint, I must first think of the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty. Daming is very big, I am a family member, everyone has their thoughts in their hearts, and I am no exception.

The imperial court needed brave and warlike generals, but it did not need any careerists.

You and I grew up together, we know each other very well, and I know your ambitions. But you may not know my ambitions.

The most difficult thing in the world is to be an emperor, but everyone wants to be an emperor. I don't know if what you did was really for Da Ming, and I don't know what benefits you did could bring to Da Ming.

But I know that once what you have done becomes a reality, I, the Emperor, will be truly alone.

What I'm talking about, do you know Brother Tiger? ”

"So you deceive me, the nominal plan is to eradicate the traitors and villains who oppose the Hongzhi New Deal in the DPRK and China, but in fact the spearhead is directly aimed at me, Zhang Wenxuan, a careerist.

I trusted you, so I never doubted it.

You take my trust as a ****, and then give me a reason that you are the emperor.

You have to use the emperor's mind to check and balance everything, you want stability within the court, and you don't want to have a fight.

In the entire court, I Zhang Wenxuan alone is a fool, and everyone knows that what you Zhu Youzhu wants is for me to fall off the horse, so Liu Ji, who has a good relationship with me, chose to retreat, and the upright Xie Qian was silent, and the old fox Qiu Jun was secretive.

Even a petty official of the seventh rank dared to attack me for plotting against me, and all those nobles who had a good relationship with me did not dare to speak for me, and even the Duke of Baoguo, who knew what I was going to do, could only remain silent.

Yes, you are the Emperor! As he spoke, Zhang Ru's face was already covered with tears.

All along, in his heart, the word brother is very important. If it weren't for those brothers and Zhu Youjiao, a brother who grew up together, Su Qiqi would not have had an accident at all. If it weren't for this brother, he would have been able to be a rich man in the capital that no one dared to provoke.

I was filled with grief and indignation, and I was full of remorse.

His thoughts about this world are still too simple.

If it weren't for that trust, he might not be afraid of Zhu Youzhu playing those tricks in the court at all, and he could even take his subordinates away and fly away.

Zhu Youzhu looked calm: "I'm sorry, I'm the emperor." ”

"It's okay, the stripes come and go without worry. This life of mine was originally given by the first emperor, and I saved your life several times in the palace, and I have already paid this debt.

From now on, I am who I am, and no one can control my thoughts. If His Majesty wants Cao Ming's small head on his neck, even if he takes it, Zhang Wenxuan will be killed. Zhang Ru wiped away his tears and said very calmly.

"The court needs you now." Zhu Youzhu felt his throat dry.

Over the years, Zhang Ru has done too much for him, but since he became the emperor, his whole person has changed. He is no longer the immature prince who was waiting for Zhang Ru's rescue in Yuqing Palace, and he is no longer the young man who will follow Zhang Ru and call Brother Tiger behind his back.

He is the emperor, and he has a lot of helplessness of his own.

He not only has to think about the royal family, but also for his own country and the people. Zhang Ru, who is in his twenties, is already the title of Marquis of Dingbian and holds the power of the nine-sided army.

In another twenty years, how far will Zhang Ru be able to develop?

Zhu Youzhu didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it. But he had to think, because he was the emperor.

Zhang Ru said coldly: "The grass people don't need the imperial court. ”

That's right, he doesn't need the imperial court, what he has in his hands is money, and he doesn't have to worry about his life at all, even if the imperial court has stopped his business now, no one knows where the silver is hidden except for his people.

"Brother Tiger, I need you now." Zhu Youzhu bowed his head with difficulty.

Let an emperor admit his mistakes, Tang has Wei Zheng, and now there is Zhang Ru.

In the Ming Dynasty, which was centered on Confucian culture, it was not a wise move for courtiers who adhered to the golden mean to be able to convince their mistakes. Zhang Ru not only did what most civil officials wanted to do but did not dare to do, but also did it very thoroughly.

He pointed to the words on the table and said, "Didn't Your Majesty see these words written by the grass people?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said in a sarcastic tone: "I don't have the slightest doubt that everyone in the Ming Dynasty said these four words, but I am very skeptical when you say these four words."

Stop the war with war, this sentence used to be said by you, and now you tell me to stop fighting as a force. ”

Zhang Ru's tense muscles suddenly relaxed, and he made a posture that made him comfortable.

"What has been said can be retorted, what Your Majesty can do, and the grass people can do too. The grass people never think that they are any kind of gentleman, if they say villains, the grass people are real villains. Your Majesty, don't waste time and energy trying to persuade the grass people, the grass people have said that they will not go, that is, they will not go, and anyone who comes to persuade the grass people will not give face.

is still the same sentence, the head is here, Your Majesty wants to take it, and tens of thousands of people and horses in Jinyiwei can take my head at any time. From the moment Zhu Youzhu betrayed him, Zhang Ru's heart had sunk to the bottom.

At first, the two sides agreed to let Zhu Youzhu make a small move that made Zhang Ru unhappy, and then let those who like to speculate about the emperor's heart take the opportunity to attack Zhang Ru, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating traitors in the DPRK and China.

All of this stems from Zhang Ru's trust in Zhu Youzhang.

Even if the emperor made a big fuss in the Jinluan Palace, Zhang Ru still believed Zhu Youzhu at that moment. He never dreamed that Zhu Youjiao, who had called him Brother Tiger since he was a child, would play a trick of cultivating the plank road and secretly Chen Cang.

After being at home, he thought a lot, and as a modern person, he probably shouldn't get involved in this kind of struggle. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, now he has unlimited scenery, who knows if one day in the future when he is the master, will there be a heart of disobedience.

Ask yourself, Zhang Ru himself doesn't know if he will have such thoughts in a few decades.

Maybe after Zhu Youzhu dies, the new emperor will treat him as a thorn in the flesh when he ascends the throne, and maybe if Zhu Youzhu dies, he will become the target of Zhu Youzhang's attack. It's just that this day came too early.

was full of ambition and was stabbed in the back by his brother, which is really uncomfortable.

"I'm begging you, okay?" Zhu Youzhu said pitifully.

Zhang Ru shook his head, unmoved.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Zhu Youzhu was a little annoyed and stood up and said.

Zhang Ru said with a smile: "I want spring flowers to bloom, accompanied by beautiful women." ”

After saying that, a poem spouted out from the tip of the pen: Riding a horse in a hundred battles and conquering the world, fighting swords and rivers and lakes in vain. Weisi unloaded his armor and returned to the countryside, and the plain woman held purple sand in her hand.

After reading the poems, Zhu Youzhu didn't say a word, stood up and walked out of Zhang Ru's study.

"Your Majesty, how is the situation?" Wang Zhi, who came out with the emperor, asked knowingly.

He stood at the door, the conversation inside was faintly audible, and the emperor's face was not good when he came out, but he still asked questions.

Zhu Youzhu shook his head and strode forward.
