There are still a lot of attacks on Zhang Ru in the DPRK and China, and there will be inconspicuous mentions of Zhang Ru's proposal to open the sea ban in the early dynasty, the afternoon dynasty, and the opening of the scripture feast. As soon as this proposal was mentioned, it was immediately attacked by the courtiers.

Wang Zhi arrested a few people and released them within a few days after they were thrown into Zhao Prison.

Zhang Ru didn't care, anyway, he was already in a commotion, but he didn't care about those civil officials who scolded him as the number one traitor in the world, comparable to Yongle's chronology.

The customs officers are also convinced by Zhang Ru's cheekiness, they are all people who have read books, but this master is not afraid of anything, you can scold behind your back, anyway, I can't hear it. If you dare to scold you to your face, I will dare to beat you to your face.

In addition, the emperor was basically making peace with the mud, so for a while, the courtiers had nothing to do with Zhang Ru.

Nanjing's one reacted quickly, and after the news of the imperial court's recruitment of sailors came out in Tianjin, just after the New Year, the Nanjing Wei Mansion sent an envoy.

The first place this envoy visited was the Dingbian Marquis's Mansion.

Xu was used to being arrogant in Nanjing's one-third of an acre, and after the scholar named Sun Changxing put down a bunch of gifts, he named Zhang Ru by name.

Gao Yinhe, who made meritorious contributions because he saved Huang Tu, and Zhang Fugui, who was valued and promoted by Jiang Wei, are not good-tempered people. One raised his hand and gave the literati opposite a big mouth after Sun Changxing said a few words to see Zhang Ru, and the other directly stretched out his hand and pushed the other party.

Sun Changxing has not suffered such humiliation since he entered the Wei State Mansion, and after standing firm, Xiubai's face turned red, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at the two of them and scolded: "Pifu, dare to bully me!" ”

The poor index finger was not put in the eyes of the two five big and three thick men at all, and with Sun Changxing's miserable cry, the fingers of this reading gentleman, who was quite used in the Wei State Mansion, were instantly broken by Zhang Fugui, who didn't know how important it was.

Jiang Wei is very honest, and Zhang Fugui he brought out is also very honest, but honest people also have their own reverse scales, which no one can touch.

Since this hundred-household lord who is not bold dares to know that Zhang Luan is the Duke of the State and dares to ****, he is not afraid of a staff member from the Duke of Wei.

After all, the tragic call sign still alarmed Zhang Ru, the Marquis of Dingbian, who was drunk by Zhu Youzhang, the king of Tai'an County, and Zhu Hui, the prince of Xiaobaoguo, the night before, and after a while, a young man in white clothes appeared at the door of the Dingbian Marquis's mansion, raised his leg and gave the two burly men a kick, and then asked condescendingly: "Who is on the ground?" ”

Sun Changxing was so painful that he couldn't say a word except howling, until the one came over and pulled his index finger hard, and he had the strength to say: "I am a staff member of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and I dare to bully me like this!" When I turn around, I will report to my grandfather. ”

"Oh? You're an old man! What is the matter with coming to the capital? The young man squatting on the steps raised Erlang's legs very unruly, and looked at Sun Changxing while touching the stubble on his chin.

The smart Sun Changxing had already sensed that something was wrong from the expressions of the two big men, and the pain in his fingers was not so intense. He got up with a roll, and made a gesture to the young man in a somewhat embarrassed manner: "Grandpa ordered me to bring heavy gifts to Beijing to visit Dingbian Hou." ”

"Say, what's the matter?" The young man had no intention of inviting him in, and Sun Changxing's anger rose again.

However, he was beaten just now, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he raised his voice and said, "This son hasn't asked for advice yet." ”

Zhang Ru smiled: "You keep saying that you want to see me, and now that I'm in front of you, you don't know me?" ”

Sun Changxing was horrified in his heart, and secretly congratulated himself that he didn't take his identity in front of the other party, and hurriedly said: "I don't know that the Hou Ye is in person, and it is rude to be late in life." ”

Zhang Ru stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the post." ”

Sun Changxing was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out the prayer post from his arms and handed it over.

After Zhang Ru looked at it, he took the prayer note in his hand, turned around and walked inside: "Come in!" ”

It didn't take long for Sun Changxing, who was rubbing his hands, to be brought into the living room, with steaming tea on the table, and the young Hou Ye was sitting on top of the golden knife.

After thinking about it again and again, Sun Changxing still decided to speak first: "Grandpa heard that the imperial court intends to build a port in Tianjin, and specially ordered a late student to go to Beijing to visit the Hou Ye, I don't know if the rumors are true?" ”

Zhang Ru took a sip of the tea, and said nonchalantly: "Yes, Your Majesty has not fully nodded yet, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are very dissatisfied, but well, there are indeed people in Tianjin who have begun to set up sailors and build big ships." Why, Wei Guogong's news is quite well-informed, does Guogong also want to come to get a piece of the pie? ”

Sun Changxing finally sorted out his mood and said proudly: "Hou Ye said that he laughed, my grandfather said that this time in Beijing, if what he said from Hou Ye's mouth is true, then he will tell Hou Ye in his later life: Young man, don't be too arrogant." ”

Zhang Ru laughed in his heart: Feelings, this nerd came to Beijing to beat Lao Tzu.

However, on the face, he made a look of incomprehension: "I don't know what Guogong means by this?" Ben Hou was a little confused. ”

Sun Changxing said: "Ming people don't say secret words, in the area south of the Yangtze River, there have long been maritime merchants who have gone to sea despite the ban on the imperial court, and no one has been held accountable for so many years, which is not unrelated to my grandfather." Presumably, Hou Ye is in charge of Jinyiwei, and he should have heard of it. The grandfather didn't want to hurt the harmony with the Hou Ye, and was willing to share the net profit to the Hou Ye every year, just begging the Hou Ye not to mention the word sea ban again. ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "What if I don't agree?" ”

Sun Changxing immediately snorted coldly: "If the Hou Ye does not agree, my grandfather will definitely make it difficult for the Hou Ye to move an inch on the sea." The grandfather knew that the Hou Ye had a great relationship with the nobles of Jingzhong, and he had His Majesty as a backer, and he controlled the Jinyi Guard. But no matter how strong Jinyiwei is, it is useless at sea, so Hou Ye had better think clearly. ”

Zhang Ru squinted: "Are you threatening me?" ”

Sun Changxing snorted very villainously: "Don't dare, it's just to analyze the pros and cons for the Hou Ye." ”

Zhang Ru said again: "If I agree, what good can I do." ”

Sun Changxing saw that there seemed to be a loose meaning in the other party's tone, and immediately said: "As long as the Hou Ye agrees, not only will one percent of the net profit be sent to the capital at the end of the year, but the grandfather also promised to find exotic orchids for the Hou Ye from the South and the West." Every year, the treasures will be the first to be selected by Hou Ye, as long as Hou Ye goes to the south, no matter who it is, he will be in awe of Hou Ye. ”

Zhang Ru slapped his palms hard: "Wei Guogong is so big!" It's so big that I don't dare to disobey it. However, didn't Wei Guogong think that it was a little inappropriate to let such a small staff member come here as a big deal related to a year's net profit? ”

Sun Changxing's face remained unchanged: "If Hou Ye feels that his status as a late student is too low, as long as Hou Ye agrees, someone will naturally come to Beijing to visit Hou Ye." ”

Zhang Ru smiled, his smile was very bright, but it made Sun Changxing feel cold.

At this time, it was as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and the poisonous snake was so close to him that it seemed to be able to bite him at once.

Zhang Ru's face turned blue in an instant: "Go back and tell Wei Guogong that Ben Hou accepted his gift, but the sea ban has to be opened." This is a major matter related to the Ming Dynasty, not a trivial matter for Wei Guogong's family. If Wei Guogong thinks that Zhang doesn't know how to lift, he can obstruct it. Whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, or an open gun and a hidden arrow, I Zhang Ru continues. Also, by the way, it is really not a wise move for Wei Guogong to send you to Beijing. ”

Sun Changxing's face was poopy, and he couldn't help but stand up and shouted, "Zhang Wenxuan, you have to think clearly." ”

"Fan Tong, what are you doing in a daze, I didn't hear anyone call Ben Hou by his name!" Zhang Ru smiled faintly, and then shouted out the door.

Immediately, a man who was three points taller than the two strong men at the door strode in, and after nodding to Zhang Ru, the big man mentioned Sun Changxing and raised his hand to slap: "Disrespectful Hou Ye, you should be beaten!" ”

After more than a dozen slaps, Sun Changxing's face had already become a bun, and he couldn't see where his facial features were at all, so Zhang Ru nodded and walked towards the back room with his hands behind his back.

Fan Tongti walked to the door with Sun Changxing, and slammed the weak scholar to the ground: "Get out!" ”

Sun Changxing had already fainted, and the servants of the Wei Mansion who came with him hurriedly helped him up, but the people from the Hou Mansion carried the gifts away very arrogantly, and they did not dare to argue, so they had to leave in a hurry with Sun Changxing.

The news soon spread in the capital, and most of the officials who had a relationship with Nanjing were complacent in private, feeling that Zhang Ru, the Marquis of Dingbian, had offended Wei Guogong and must have no good fruit to eat.

That's it, there are many fewer voices attacking Zhang Ru in the court. Except for a few officials who are truly honest and honest, they are still tirelessly throwing themselves into the cabinet, and everyone else has basically died down.

With such a behemoth as Wei Guogong to deal with Zhang Ru, there is no need for them to act at all.

At the same time, several officials who were good friends with Zhang Ru also handed over notes, and Tu Tu, the right capital of the imperial history, vaguely pointed out on the note that Zhang Ru should not offend the Duke of Wei; Wang Shu, the secretary of the ministry, and Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, also expressed their goodwill.

However, Zhang Ru never spoke, whether it was those who kindly reminded him, or those who sat and waited to watch the show, he didn't make any moves.

It wasn't until Sun Changxing, who was the envoy of the Duke of Wei, left the capital for half a month that Emperor Xianzong's record of Xianzong had been put on the agenda, and those voices attacking Zhang Ru reappeared.

It's just that after a half-month pause, those voices have become much weaker than last year.

Emperor Zhu Youzhu completely practiced the magic of King Kong, no matter who it was, as long as it was to impeach Zhang Ru at the court meeting, he would not hear it.

All of a sudden, all the courtiers determined the emperor's thoughts, and several scholars in the cabinet were in front of them, basically asking them to discuss how to deal with Zhang Ru, a civil and official enemy.
