Chapter 2: His Guilt Shall Be Punished
Zhu Youjiao's eyes were weird: "Huzi, how do I feel that you are very wrong." ”
Zhang Ru smiled: "What's wrong, I'm still the tiger, you are still the prince, nothing has changed." ”
"Don't worry, I won't let Wang Zhi get better." Zhu Youzhu thought that Zhang Ru was resentful because of his injury, and he was afraid that he would lose this brother, so he immediately said comfort.
He wanted to move Wan Zhen'er, the initiator behind it, but it was a pity that his father Zhu Jianshen was almost obedient to Wan Zhen'er, and he couldn't change it.
Zhang Ru looked around and said slowly: "To deal with Wang Zhi, you can't come clearly, during the period when he controlled the West Factory, there were not a few people in the court who were dissatisfied with his actions, that is, Liang Fang, the palm print eunuch beside His Majesty, was also quite dissatisfied with him. These are all things that we can use.
Although the West Factory was withdrawn, Wang Zhi's power did not become smaller, he was the eunuch of Datong Town, and most of the fans of the West Factory went to Datong in the past. Without His Majesty staring, without Jinyiwei and Dongchang checks and balances, I am afraid that the current Wang Zhi is even more terrifying than the previous Wang Zhi. ”
"No matter what, Wang Zhi can't stay, he can still command the people who stayed in Beiping to assassinate me in Datong, if he comes back one day, I'm afraid I don't know how I died." Zhu Youzhu is categorical.
Zhang Ru nodded and agreed: "Your Highness has a point, I'm just worried that I won't die if I fight the snake, so I implore Your Highness not to come forward yourself." Most of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee want to put Wang Zhi to death, and the things that offend people can be handed over to them. ”
Zhu Youzhu stared at Zhang Ru left and right like a monster, until Zhang Ru was a little distracted by him and asked what was wrong, he asked with deep doubts: "I finally know that something is wrong with you, you have never seen me before, and only you can't say the two words Your Highness in this huge inner court." You never thought about these things before, you just did it, how did it change so much after you fainted a few times? ”
Zhang Ru didn't expect that what he said in a hurry to show would reveal such a big flaw.
In the memory of fusion, the owner of this body is not a reckless man, but many times many things do not require him to use his brain.
Now that he was suspicious of his backer in the Ming Dynasty in the future, he wanted to explain immediately, but he was afraid of revealing more clues, and after searching in his memory for a while, he learned that Zhu Youzhu was a very soft-hearted person, so he said lightly: "Xu was shot by this poisonous arrow and opened his mind." ”
Sure enough, Zhu Youzhu no longer dwelled on the changes that had occurred in him, but blamed himself: "It's all my fault, if I didn't stubbornly want to go out to play, I wouldn't have given those Xichang fans a chance." ”
What he said worked, Zhang Ru breathed a sigh of relief, and changed the topic: "There are still three days before the Great Dynasty, Your Highness wants to bring down Wang Zhi, it is better to prepare as soon as possible." ”
Zhu Youzhu nodded: "You have a good rest, if there is anything to greet Xiao Shunzi, I will go and get busy first." ”
It wasn't until Zhu Youzhu completely left the East Sixth Palace that Zhang Ru's hanging heart could be regarded as letting go.
The pain of the abdominal wound was relieved after taking the medicine, Zhang Ru gradually fell into a deep sleep, and on the other side, Zhu Youzhu was running around.
Three days later, the court meeting, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military gathered, the slightly obese Ming Emperor Zhu Jianshen wore a dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair majestically, and the eunuch Liang Fang with palm prints on his side stood with his head down.
The ministers knelt down and worshipped, and the mountains shouted long live.
Zhu Jianshen glanced at the ministers: "Do you Aiqing have something to play?" ”
Li Yu, the right capital of the imperial history, stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." ”
"Speak!" Zhu Jianshen said lightly.
"The minister impeached the eunuch Wang Zhi of Datong Town, and disagreed with Xu Ning, the general soldier of Datong, and the Tatars violated the border, and I am afraid that Datong will lose." Li Yu said loudly.
Before the words fell, Guo Bo, the governor of Datong, stepped forward: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
A few more officials came out of the corner and seconded the proposal, Zhu Jianshen's face became a little ugly, and it was difficult to reprimand.
The crown prince Zhu Youzhang, who was sitting under the dragon chair, was sitting on pins and needles, none of these people were contacted by him in advance, and suddenly so many people appeared to impeach Wang Zhi, which made him a little overwhelmed.
He knows very well what kind of person his father is, and he also knows exactly what Wan Zhen'er's status is in his father's heart. directly impeached Wang Zhi, for fear that it would make his father suspicious.
Just when he was apprehensive in his heart, Zhu Jianshen spoke: "Is there any evidence for what you said?" ”
"In March this year, 300 Tatar cavalry invaded the territory and killed 147 of our Ming people. In April, Wang Zhi killed 32 people from Zhang Bo's family on the grounds that Zhang Bo, a general under Xu Ning, did not obey the general's orders. In May, Wang Zhi sent Xichang Fanzi to Beijing, but he has not been traced yet. Guo Bo looked at the wat board and told in an orderly manner.
The first few articles were harmless in Zhu Jianshen's opinion, they were all trivial, but the last one made Zhu Jianshen furious.
Although he didn't show it on the surface, Zhu Jianshen, who was full of turbulent waves in his heart, turned his head and said to Liang Fang: "Check." ”
Of course, Liang Fang knows what this sentence means, from May to the present, the prince has suffered three sneak attacks and one poisoning, and the last sneak attack directly led to the prince's Chang Sui Zhang Ru almost died. Wan Zhen'er, the mastermind behind the emperor's ability to tolerate all this, how could he tolerate Wang Zhi, a slave.
Liang Fang, who had long been in control of Wang Zhi's incriminating evidence, replied directly without even raising his eyelids: "Your Majesty, it's true." ”
Hearing the last two words, Zhu Jianshen was directly furious: "What a Wang Zhi, you dare to harm my Daming Sheji, Nanjing Imperial Horse Supervisor still lacks a eunuch in charge, transfer him over." ”
The Great Dynasty ended in a hurry in the emperor's anger, and several ministers who wanted to bring down Wang Zhi had no chance to argue, and when everyone dispersed, Zhu Youzhu hurried back to the East Sixth Palace.
Zhang Ru on the bed had already woken up, and Zhu Youzhu let everyone go out without saying a word, leaving only a gray-haired old eunuch to serve on the side.
After sitting down and drinking a few sips of water, Zhu Youzhu told what happened in the court and asked Zhang Ru if he knew what Zhu Jianshen meant.
He really couldn't understand why Zhang Ru, who didn't like to use his brain before, suddenly became so smart.
Zhang Ru is the person he trusts the most, and before his mother Ji died, he swore to treat him as a brother for the rest of his life, so he didn't want Zhang Ru to become another person.
"If my expectations are correct, the people contacted by His Highness should not even have a chance to speak in the court. The impeachment of Wang Zhi by Li Yu and Guo Boring was a political struggle in the court, and those military generals were arrogant and arrogant, so they naturally didn't want a eunuch to step on their heads. Eunuchs, civil and military abandoned, even if Wang Zhi has the ability, there is no place for him in Datong. The reason why His Majesty ended the court meeting in a hurry was because he didn't want to deal with Wang Zhi. Zhang Ru pretended not to know that this was Zhu Youzhang's temptation, and boldly said his thoughts.
Putting aside personal enmity, Wang Zhi is still a very good person, he has the ability to lead troops to fight, but unfortunately there is no symbol of a man, even if he is strong, it is difficult to convince the public.
Zhu Youzhang's attention was attracted by state affairs, and he couldn't help asking: "Why is this so?" Shouldn't the Tatars commit the same hatred as the enemy? Why can't those people tolerate Wang Zhi? In the face of major rights and wrongs, can't my father understand? ”
Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Your Highness, Your Majesty must be able to see clearly, there are not a few people who can fight well in my Ming Dynasty, is there still a lack of Wang Zhi?" Your Majesty did this, firstly, because he didn't want to hate the Wan Guifei in the palace who was becoming more and more crutches, and secondly, he didn't want to leave a tail for your future succession! ”
As a human being in two lives, Zhang Ru sees everything very thoroughly.
However, this transparency made Zhu Youjiao, who was suspicious by nature, return his focus to him again: "Huzi, you tell me the truth, why did you change so much in the arrow?" You and I are brothers, and I don't want anything to change. ”
Zhang Ru sighed lightly, and looked into the distance with a somewhat confused gaze: "How old am I older than you, and I supported each other when I was a child." But did Your Highness ever think that if you are the king in the future, you can still tolerate me, a courtier who is not up to the bottom? In the past, I didn't want to use my brains because His Highness needed His Majesty's favor, and I just needed to protect His Highness. Now it's different, there is a Wang Zhi, there will be a second Wang Zhi.
Could it be that force alone can protect you?
To put it mildly, His Majesty has a deep affection for the Wan family, and when he can't keep it, the Wan family will pry His Majesty to abolish the establishment. This arrow made me understand that dealing with Xichang with my own strength is a mantis arm as a car, and I, Zhang Ru, can use my flesh and blood to block a dark arrow for His Royal Highness, and may block it a second time?
Only by making yourself stronger and having more people around you can you have the ability to shelter Your Highness from the wind and rain, and only then can you shelter Daming from the wind and rain.
Your Majesty is like a father to me, the Queen Mother is like the grandmother of the minister, Zhang Ru is not talented, and he is willing to be a pawn for His Royal Highness, and guard His Highness's side forever. ”
After that, he added a sentence without melancholy: "Even if His Royal Highness becomes His Majesty one day in the future, and no longer regards Zhang Ru as a brother, it is great that Zhang Ru will return to the mountains and forests and have friends, and he will not end up miserable." ”
The atmosphere was a little sad, and Zhu Youzhang, who had read through the history books of previous dynasties since he was a child, also knew that what Zhang Ru said was true. He stepped forward and held Zhang Ru's hand tightly: "You are my tiger brother for one day, and you will be my tiger brother for the rest of your life." It is said that the royal family is ruthless, and no matter how much I say, you may not be able to listen to it, and the days to come are still long, you can watch slowly. ”
A somewhat bloated figure outside the door shook, and the surrounding palace eunuchs knelt on the ground, silent. The bloated figure raised his legs and walked, his legs were still in the air, and Zhang Ru's voice came into his ears again: "The minister is a minister, but also a son, the minister may harm the king, but the son will never harm the father." ”
Hearing this, the figure outside the door stepped heavily into the threshold, and then an angry rebuke appeared out of thin air: "It's so bold enough to dare to pry the prince, and his crime should be punished!" ”
