In the small study room of the Datong General Army's official residence, the dim oil lamp was spitting light, and Zhang Ru sat in front of the table where the vermilion paint was almost clean, his thumb and index finger pinching the thin letter paper and sneering.

In his opinion, what was said in the letter was all nonsense, and he only saw one sentence: 300 people in the East Sifang were captured, and Mu Bin was injured!

As for who was the mastermind behind Mu Bin's injury, he didn't need to read the letter to know that except for the Wan sisters and brothers, plus the first assistant Wan An, there would definitely be no one else.

It is not unreasonable for him to naturally think of the mastermind behind the scenes as Wan'an, who made Yan Fu, the prefect of Datong, his disciple, his disciple under the control of Zhang Ru at the moment. What's more, Wan An claimed to be Wan Zhen'er's son and nephew, which invisibly gave Zhang Ru a hint.

As for Wei Xing, the big stall head of the East Factory mentioned in the letter, in Zhang Ru's opinion, he is just a clown jumping off the beam, as long as he returns to the capital, Wei Xing, who guards the tomb in Changping, is the meat on his chopping board.

With Zhang Ru's current ability, it is not difficult to kill Wei Xing at all, but he doesn't want to be too conspicuous, after all, Wei Xing is the emperor's dog, and he has just offended himself.

The so-called teacher is famous, and he feels that he should find a suitable reason to let Wei Xing die without a place to be buried.

In his previous life, Zhang Ru was a relatively cowardly person, but after coming to Daming, he experienced countless assassinations, which made him deeply aware that Zhongzheng peace could not protect himself and his family. In the previous life, you may be able to live a mediocre life, but in Daming, this will definitely be broken.

"Jiang Wei, come in." Zhang Ru opened his mouth and shouted.

Jiang Wei, who had been guarding the door, limped in front of Zhang Ru, his eyes lowered: "My lord, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Ru said: "Our nest has been copied, you ask Tang Long and Wang Zhou to pay attention to Yan Fu's movements, and collect all the things that Yan Fu has done over the years, I want to play." ”

"Yes!" Jiang Wei is good at this point and never asks why.

In fact, Zhang Ru hoped that he could ask more whys like Mu Bin, but Jiang Wei, who was used to being cautious, couldn't learn Mu Bin's temperament no matter what.

After several corrections to no avail, Zhang Ru no longer forced him, after all, everyone has their own temperament, and they can't be forced to be the same.

As soon as the order was given, all the members of the Datong Jinyi Wei Thousand Households were dispatched, and there were many idle people in the streets and alleys, and everyone who was related to Yan Fu, whether it was his students or his domestic servants, was knocked on the side and asked.

Of course, Yan Fu was not a fool, and immediately realized that it was Zhang Ru who attacked him. There was no news from the capital, so he didn't know why Zhang Ru suddenly attacked him.

Seeing that without vigilance, there were already many handles that had been grabbed by the other party, and in desperation, Yan Fu could only visit the door.

It's a pity that Zhang Ru didn't want to see him, and after he ate a few closed doors, he chose to tell his mentor Wan'an everything that happened in Datong through letters.

Soon after the letter was sent, Wan An's letter arrived at the prefect's yamen, and when he saw what the letter said, and thought about Zhang Ru's temperament, Yan Fu couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

He ordered people to pack the goods overnight, and all the belongings were divided into two parts, one was sent to the governor's mansion of Ye Qi, the governor of Shanxi, and the other was sent to Zhang Ru's general military residence.

All this is going on under Zhang Ru's nose, how could he not know that he is such a smart person.

However, he did not prevent Yan Fu from saving himself in the final stage, let alone preventing Yan Fu's men from sending gold and silver treasures to the governor's yamen. Because one Yan Fu was not enough to calm the anger accumulated in his chest, he needed another important person to go down. So that Wan An knows that whoever you offend, don't offend him Zhang Ru.

This candidate is naturally Ye Qi, the governor of Shanxi!

For the sake of the face of the two large carts of gold and silver treasures and 200,000 taels of silver tickets, Zhang Ru only participated in the charge of Yan Fu being lawless and not asking about political affairs.

This crime will not make Yan Fu lose his head, but it is enough to make him lose the black gauze hat on his head. And Shanxi Governor Ye Qi, the governor who had never met Zhang Rusu, was accused of dereliction of duty, accepting bribes, disregarding the law and discipline, and disregarding human life because of Wan'an's relationship.

Yan Fu's handle needs to be found, but Ye Qi's doesn't need it.

The governor of a province, how could he not do something out of the ordinary, not to mention that Zhang Ru hadn't thought about putting the governor to death, otherwise just the crime of being a guest at a banquet during the Dai filial piety period would be enough for Ye Qi to spend the rest of his life in Lingnan.

The song folded to Liu Mian Liu Ji's desk, and this master quickly came to disagree with Wan An, and he took the song into the palace. Together with Liang Fangyi, the eunuch of the palm print, it was decided that it was most appropriate to directly hand over the fold to the emperor.

After the emperor saw it, he was naturally furious, and reduced Ye Qi from the governor of a province to the people, and beat Yan Fu back to his hometown, and he was never hired.

These two Ming officials who fell victim to political struggles for no reason are completely finished in this life.

When Wantong learned of Zhang Ru's reaction, he was angry, but he didn't comfort Wan'an, who let this old man not care about his life or death at the critical moment!

Liu Ji didn't say a word and helped his subordinate Zuo Yu up, without Wantong's help, Wan'an could only be anxious.

Of course, Wantong will not sit still, in the face of Zhang Ru's reaction, he entered the palace for the first time to meet his sister, Wan Zhen'er, who is fifty-seven years old.

Now Wan Zhen'er has lost the beauty of her youth, wrinkles have crept up the corners of his eyes, and gray hair has begun to grow on his temples. Fortunately, the emperor has remained consistent and has not changed his attachment to her.

"This palace is already old and decrepit, and I can't tie up Your Majesty for a long time, you have to know to take care of yourself in the future, this world belongs to their young people after all, you should let it go, let it go!" Wan Zhen'er was full of vicissitudes, and in the face of her brother's plea to herself, she thought twice and decided to persuade her brother to stop.

Wantong knelt on the ground and refused to get up: "Eldest sister, if it weren't for you, Wanjia wouldn't have the status it has today." But now that there are a large population of 10,000 families, not to mention the collateral lineage, let's just say that there are many people in the direct line. Can you watch your nephews being bullied by such arrogance? ”

Wan Zhen'er waved her hand: "Get up, kneel on the ground and become a system." After all, this world is the world of the Zhu family, and people must see the power of the time clearly, otherwise they will fall into a situation from which they will never recover. ”

Wan Daodao: "The younger brother has no way back, my sister did it to the prince back then, and now the prince has grown up, and the emperor's health is not as good as day by day." Once the emperor is in charge of the funeral, the first person to deal with after the crown prince ascends the throne will definitely be my family. ”

Wan Zhen'er rubbed her eyebrows and said after a while, "What do you want me to do for you?" ”

Wantong thought for a while and said: "For today's plan, only by letting the emperor abolish the crown prince can it be possible to save ten thousand families." ”

Wan Zhen'er put down her hand violently, and changed her face to an angry face: "Don't mention this matter again, last time because of the prodding between you and Wei Xing, Your Majesty said to me for a while." When the crown prince grew up, he didn't say whether the ministers of the court would agree or not, but that the emperor would not necessarily agree. King Xing is not very old, and he can't take on the heavy responsibility at all. ”

There is no way, among Zhu Jianshen's sons, in addition to Zhu Youjiao, the king of Xing, Zhu Youqi, is a little older.

When the plan failed, Wantong had no choice but to retreat to the second: "Since the matter of changing the reserve cannot be done, please also ask my sister to think about the Wanjia family, and ask Your Majesty to give some official positions to the children of the Wanjia, when the new emperor ascends the throne, it is not good to beat all the people of the Wanjia family to death with a stick." ”

His younger brother himself knows that he is not an ambitious person, but a very greedy person.

But she is just such a younger brother, everyone in the family is spoiled, and she herself is old, so she also has compassion. Now the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and he doesn't know who will enter the ground first. Give the children of the Wan family some official positions, so that they can have a better life in the future.

Wan Zhen'er still has the right to speak in front of Zhu Jianshen on other things, but on the way to alchemy and cultivation, Wan Zhen'er has said it countless times, but she can't dispel the emperor's idea.

So much so that she now has to reserve a way back for herself.

It was night, when the emperor entered Wan Zhen'er's bedroom, Wan Zhen'er took the initiative to propose to the emperor to knight the children of the Wan family: "Your Majesty, the concubine is old, and your Majesty will stay elsewhere in the future!" ”

Zhu Jianshen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did Sister Zhen say this?" ”

Wan Zhen'er sighed and squeezed out two tears: "It is already a big crime for the concubines to favor the harem all these years. The courtiers all feel that it is the concubine who charms the king, and in recent days, the concubine feels that her body is not as good as day by day, but she is afraid that after the concubine leaves, the courtiers will attack the children of the concubine clan. For the sake of the family, please also ask Your Majesty to stay elsewhere. ”

Zhu Jianshen patted Wan Zhen'er's bare shoulder and said, "Sister Zhen, don't worry, those are a bunch of guys who are loyal on the surface but are actually male thieves and prostitutes." As long as I am in the day, no one will dare to touch the people in your family. ”

"If Your Majesty is... If it is..."Rao is Wan Zhen'er and Zhu Jianshen have been married for decades, and they don't dare to say what I will do if you die."

Zhu Jianshen immediately understood what she meant, and said with relief: "That guy Wantong doesn't know the general situation, and there are indeed a lot of people who have offended. Don't worry, find time for the children of the Wan family to find something to do, and even if someone wants to settle the account, as long as it is not a major crime of rebellion, no one will hurt them. ”

Wan Zhen'er knelt on the bed: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Jianshen smiled slightly, and imprinted a kiss on Wan Zhen'er's face full of fat powder: "Sleep, don't think too much, I'm here, it's okay." ”

On the second day, the decree was issued, and it reached the hands of ten thousand families without going through the cabinet.

Wan Tong experienced the experience of the Governor's Mansion of the Later Army, and the eldest son Wan Tian was the official of the Six Branches, and the other family members had their own rewards.

Although these people do not have high official positions, they are all people with official positions. In particular, the post of the experience department of the military capital of Wantong Dahou, although it only has the title of five grades, is the object of many people's stammering.

Emperor Chenghua's move can be explained that on the surface, he is giving Wanjia a protective umbrella, but in fact, it is sending Wanjia into the abyss of death step by step.
