Early the next morning, it took a day to arrange a rough Zhang Ru to enter the palace to ask to see Zhu Youzhang, Zhu Jianshen is now dead, the Ministry of Rites is preparing for the emperor's ceremony, and Zhu Youzhang can only nest in Yuqing Palace when he is sad.

Every day, there are twists and turns sent to Yuqing Palace through the celebrant supervisor, although he is sad, Zhu Youzhu still cheers up and deals with national affairs.

Zhu Youzhang, who was sitting at the desk dealing with the folds, looked tired, his eyes were red and swollen, and not long after crying, under Qin Ji's persuasion, he reluctantly picked up the pen to review the folds.

Qin Ji appeared in the main hall of Yuqing Palace with small steps: "Your Highness, Lord Zhang is here." ”

Zhu Youzhu was stunned, quickly put down the pen, and said loudly: "Please." ”

After Zhang Ru entered the main hall, he knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Minister Zhang Ru, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

With the last preaching, Zhu Youzhu did not stubbornly ask Zhang Ru not to be polite this time, and said with some excitement: "Please get up quickly." ”

Zhang Ru got up, walked straight to the table, and said in a low tone: "Your Highness, mourn." ”

It's okay not to mention this stubble, but as soon as he mentions this stubble, Zhu Youzhang's tears fell down uncontrollably: "Brother Tiger, I don't have a father anymore." ”

The sad tone made Qin Ji couldn't help but burst into tears, Zhang Ru counted his nose, stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Zhu Youjiao's shoulder, but his hand was in the air, but it retracted again.

Now is the most vulnerable time for Zhu Youzhang, he needs someone to comfort him, but he is a courtier, and he can't comfort him without distinction between dignity and humility.

Looking at his movements, Zhu Youzhu simply lay on a pile of folds and cried, he was not ready to become the king of a country at all.

In a sense, although Zhu Jianshen has taken Zhu Youzhu with him for ten years, taught him how to deal with state affairs, and taught him how to control the ministers, psychologically, Zhu Youzhu is still a child who has not grown up.

Maybe he can put on a king's face in front of other courtiers, but in front of Zhang Ru, who is most familiar with him, he can't do this kind of posture.

Zhang Ruqiang endured not to let the tears fall, and waited for Zhu Youzhu to finish crying, then he reached out to help Zhu Youzhu wipe off the tears on his cheeks regardless of his identity: "Cheer up." ”

"There are so many ministers, so many people with bad intentions, I really don't know what to do." Zhu Youzhu was completely at a loss in his heart, and he was a little hesitant.

Zhang Ru said categorically: "You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and after the first emperor is funeral, you will succeed to the throne." These courtiers and generals, if you don't like them, you can change them, change them to some obedient ones, and people you like come up. But now you can't mess around, I don't know how many people are staring at us behind our backs, if you mess up, all the people on your side will be messy. We can't give anyone a chance, we can't give someone a chance in vain. ”

Zhu Youzhu was stunned: "The imperial aunt doesn't want me to be the emperor so much?" ”

Zhang Ru snorted coldly: "Not only do you not want to, the first emperor was benevolent and did not do anything to them, but their usurpation of the throne has not diminished in the slightest. Your Highness rest assured, if there are ministers in one day, they will not be able to make any big waves. Now the 12th Regiment Battalion and the 4th Tengpai Battalion are ready, and those who are too small to make a fuss. ”

"You'll help me, won't you?" Zhu Youjiao's eyes were full of expectation.

Zhang Ru nodded firmly: "Your Highness rest assured, the minister will not die, and His Highness can rest easy." The minister promised the first emperor that even if he died, he would do it. As long as the minister is in one day, he will definitely not let these small nights make trouble. Come one, kill one, come a hundred, kill a hundred. ”

His words reassured Zhu Youzhang, he had a lot of things in his heart that he couldn't let go, worried that he would not be able to govern the country well, and that his father would embarrass him if he left.

Qin Ji said nonchalantly on the side: "Zhang Shuai's murderous intent is inevitably a little too heavy. ”

Zhang Ru said mercilessly: "The murderous intent is not heavy, how to deter those Xiaoxiao, if Gonggong Qin felt that he had this ability, he would have handed over the Jinyi Guard to you, but he would have been willing to watch from the wall and see how Gonggong Qin took down those Xiaoxiao without blood." ”

Qin Ji couldn't get used to himself, Zhang Ru knew, but he didn't have any conflict with Qin Ji, he was afraid that Zhu Youzhu would be difficult to do, and this old eunuch was loyal to Zhu Youzhu in addition to looking down on people.

But now is a critical juncture, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble in vain.

Zhu Youzhu also saw the smell of gunpowder between the two, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Ru and said, "Brother Tiger, what should I do next?" ”

Zhang Ru said: "Your Highness is temporarily dealing with state affairs these days, and other things are handled by court officials, and the Ministry of Rites will come up with a charter." ”

Watching the changes is Zhu Youzhang's best choice, but it is not Zhang Ru's best choice.

As a person in power, Zhu Youzhu can choose to hide temporarily, but Zhang Ru cannot. He is the governor of the Nine Sides, and he is also the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and there are not a few Jinyi Wei official documents to deal with every day, not to mention that the Jinyi Guard in the city has already sent information about the changes in Longxing Valley. Now, he had to be careful and careful, and he couldn't make the slightest mistake.

"Come on, these things, Brother Lao Hu." Zhu Youzhu said a little stunned.

Zhang Ru smiled and comforted: "The first emperor left a country for His Highness, and His Highness must not relax." ”

Zhu Youzhang's face changed slightly, and he nodded heavily: "Gu knows." ”

"The minister retired." Hearing this lonely voice, Zhang Ru knew that it was time for him to leave. Zhu Youzhu has put himself in the identity of the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and the self-abandonment he fears will not appear in this weak but decisive emperor.

Reading history books in the previous life, whether it was a courtier of the dynasty or a person of later generations, the evaluation of this emperor of Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty was very good.

After leaving the palace, the horse galloped, and not long after returning to Beizhen Fusi, he heard his subordinates report that there was a mysterious person who asked to see, Zhang Ru frowned and asked people to bring the person who asked to see him to the duty room.

Outside the door, there were five or six good players of Soaring Cloud Ride, all of whom were specially sent by Wang Zhou to protect Zhang Ru. Although he knew that Zhang Ru was not weak, it was always good to be prepared.

The person who came covered his face and head with a black scarf and hat, and he didn't take off the mask when Mu Bin appeared, and when he saw Zhang Ru, this person took off the mask on his face.

Seeing this face, Zhang Ru was really startled.

This person is none other than Liu Ji, a scholar of the cabinet of the dynasty.

Zhang Ru made a gesture of invitation, and looked at Liu Ji with a smile: "Lord Liu suddenly visited, I don't know what is important?" ”

This Liu Mian had made a stumbling block for himself before, and Zhang Ru had to be careful. And Liu Mian can stand tall in the court for so long, he must have his ability.

Orthodox thirteen years in the jinshi, twenty-seven years of ups and downs in the sea before entering the cabinet, after entering the cabinet for 12 years without moving, this ability, is not ordinary people can have.

Liu Ji smiled bitterly, knowing that Zhang Ru had a bad impression of him, and said with a wry smile: "The old man came to visit rashly, causing inconvenience to Zhang Shuai, and please don't mind Zhang Shuai." ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "Ben will be a martial artist, he doesn't like to go around and around, please say anything Lord Liu." ”

Liu Ji took out a crumpled note from his arms, flattened it with both hands, and handed it to Zhang Ru: "This is from the eldest princess to the old man." ”

Zhang Ru glanced at the note, only to see two words written on the note: hands.

He casually put the note on the table, his middle finger and index finger were slightly bent, and he began to tap the table lightly: "The old god of the pavilion mysteriously entered the Beizhen Fusi and gave Ben Jiang a note like this, what is the purpose?" ”

Liu Ji took a deep breath and said: "The Ming people don't say dark words, in the Datong War, the old man did unite the two imperial histories, the thirteen supervising imperial histories and the six branches to oppose the establishment of a monument for those martial artists who died on the battlefield. Among them, there is the meaning of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and there is also the meaning of the old man himself. The Ming civil and military have always despised each other, and the official is a civil servant, so there is no reason to agree. Originally, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess asked the old man to unite the six departments to impeach Zhang Shuai for supporting the army and self-respect after His Majesty's death, and to take the opportunity to agitate for the abolition of the monarch.

The old ministers of the three dynasties of Jinai know that the abolition of the monarch can be big or small, and the eldest princess's law can be described as perverse.

Now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and those who dare to compete with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess are Zhang Shuai.

The old man didn't want to go against the grain, so he came to see Zhang Shuai, just asking Zhang Shuai to see that the old man was not old and confused, and he didn't care about the deliberate difficulties before the old man. ”

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are all masters who are not afraid of death, but the fact that they are not afraid of death on the surface does not mean that they are really not afraid of death. The ministers did it against the emperor, for fear that others would not know that they were loyal ministers. There are not a few civil servants who steal men and prostitutes, not to mention the civil officials scattered all over the Ming Dynasty, there are quite a few in the capital alone.

Liu Ji has been able to turn over the clouds and rain in the court for so many years, relying on the three words of knowing current affairs.

When the 12th Regiment Battalion was heavily deployed, and the 14 guards of the Jinyi Guard were mobilized one after another, the old guy smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air. Therefore, after seeing the order of the eldest princess, the first thing he thought of was not how to unite the two imperial histories, but to find Zhang Ru to explain things clearly.

Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Zhang Ru couldn't help but ask: "This world is His Majesty's world, why does she think that a few officials can make the Great Son change hands?" ”

Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "This is not something that the old minister can know, the eldest princess has been in business for so many years, and she has a lot of power in the capital and even in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, which should not be underestimated." ”

"It's my business, you just have to do what you have to do. Okay, Mr. Liu's kindness, Mr. Zhang has already received it, and then I will ask Mr. Liu to talk to those officials, don't make any trouble. Zhang Ru stood up and smiled.

Being able to get Liu Ji's surrender is really a surprise for him.

All over the world, so many reckless men and rough men are easy to accept, but these civil officials who have read books are the most nerve-wracking.

Letting Liu Ji beat those Yanguan is also a measure to protect Liu Ji, after all, the eldest princess Gulun is also happy to see Liu Ji visit Yanguan.
