Knowing that Wang Zhi did not beat those civil officials, but solved a demonstrative sit-in with an understatement, Zhu Youzhu was surprised and immediately asked Wang Zhi for questions.

But this Wang Zhi was so bold somehow, no matter how the emperor asked, he was beaten to death with one sentence: I don't know.

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help it, so he had to let him busy himself, and like Qin Ji, he began to review the folds with a stomach full of questions.

In the Fusi of Beizhen, Mu Bin also got the news from the noon gate for the first time, and Mu Bin, who was also very wary of Wang Zhi, did not know what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Zhi's gourd, so he had to go to Zhang Ru to report the situation.

Today, Zhang Ru happened to be sitting in Fusi in Beizhen, he knocked on the duty room, and after hearing a sound from inside, he pushed the door and walked in.

"My lord, because yesterday my lord proposed to open the sea ban, today there were three hundred civil officials sitting in the noon gate, but in less than an hour, they were persuaded back one by one by Wang Zhi, the commander of Dongchang." Mu Bin said in a low voice.

Zhang Ru put down the file when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile: "Oh, this Wang Zhi came back from Nanjing and changed his sex?" ”

"My subordinates don't know." Mu Bin said lightly.

"Okay, I know, you can get busy with your going first!" Zhang Ru didn't ask anything else, and said gently.

After Mu Bin exited the duty room, he was still puzzled, so he had to order his subordinates to stare at Wang Zhi's movements more so that Jinyiwei could react.

As soon as the door closed, Zhang Ru covered his stomach and laughed, but he didn't dare to come out, the agreement between him and Wang Zhi was only known to him and Wang Zhi so far.

Others don't know what's going on, but he knows that last night, Wang Zhi took away a lot of officials' black materials from Beizhen Fusi's side overnight, and his feelings were just to deal with those officials like this.

Thinking about it carefully, he felt that Wang Zhi's approach was quite appropriate, and now was indeed not the time to kill those civil officials, after all, the current Wang Zhi had not yet won Zhu Youzhang's trust. Once Wang Zhi starts to kill, I am afraid that it will be light for him to belittle him again, and it is still a question whether he can keep his head.

After holding back a laugh, he took out a letter placed under the file, carefully sealed it with fire paint, and asked Fan Tong to come in and explain a few words, and when he turned around, he saw Mu Bin's puzzled gaze.

Zhang Rugan explained with a smile: "The White Lotus Sect over there in Datong is making trouble again, this time the momentum is not small, let them make trouble first, and then clean them up when they have their hands free." ”

Mu Bin has heard of this, but he doesn't know the situation in detail, and in dealing with the White Lotus Sect, Zhang Ru has always been the sole power.

"Your Excellency, let the people below watch it closely, so as not to make a big mess." Mu Bin was not without worries.

It's not once or twice to fight with the White Lotus Sect, that group of ground rats is every time the people of the Jinyi Guard Brigade appear, they slip away, and as soon as the people leave, they don't know which horn they come out of.

Not only did Zhang Ru have a headache with the White Lotus Sect, but Mu Bin also had a headache with the White Lotus Sect.

Zhang Ru said lightly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a group of small trash fish that can't be on the table, and there is no need to clean it up now." ”

Mu Bin didn't say anything anymore, he never interfered in this kind of thing.

After reading the file on the table in a hurry, Zhang Ru left Beizhen Fusi and went straight to the palace.

The officials kneeling outside the noon gate had long since disappeared, and after most of them were persuaded by Wang Zhi to leave, the remaining people also felt that it was not interesting, so they simply left directly.

Entering the palace unimpeded, Zhu Youzhu was reviewing the folds, and there was a basket next to the table, and all the twists and turns of impeaching Zhang Ru for opening the sea ban were lying quietly in the basket.

Unlike the Chenghua Dynasty, Zhu Youzhu will personally review any twists and turns, and this rare Ming Jun in the middle of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely unwilling to delegate all his strength to the eunuchs around him.

Even if there were too many pieces and needed the help of the celebrant, he would occasionally have people take a look at the pieces that were about to be thrown away, and only after making sure that there were no omissions would he let them take them away again.

"Your Majesty, you're busy!" With the palace tooth card in hand, and the forbidden army guarding the deep palace were all from brocade guards, Zhang Ru entered the Qianqing Palace unimpeded.

Zhu Youzhu put down Zhu Pi, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It's not the trouble you gave me, you can see for yourself, what kind of person have you become in their pen." ”

As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked the bamboo basket beside him.

Zhang Ru didn't even look at the folds in the bamboo basket, and said with a smile: "The minister is guilty, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Zhu Youzhu rolled his eyes: "There is really no one who dares to convict you." Okay, if you have something, just say it, don't bother me if it's okay, I will be angry when I see you. ”

The emperor's gossip-like tone made Qin Ji's heart drip blood, he had served Zhu Youzhu for so many years, and after leaving the East Palace, the emperor had never been so casual when he talked to him.

Zhang Ru said seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask for sin!" ”

Zhu Youzhu picked up the ginseng tea on the table and took a sip: "You should tell me which crime you came to invite." ”

Zhang Ru said: "The minister has ordered people to rush to Tianjin to prepare for shipbuilding, and the people who went to Liaodong to buy timber are also on the way. Now it's time to send a decree to recruit a sailor. ”

Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood: "You are here to say hello to me, where do you seem to have come to ask for sin." ”

Zhang Ru said with a smile: "The first two things naturally need to ask Your Majesty for guilt, and as for the third thing, that is, to ask Your Majesty for advice." ”

Training the navy and recruiting manpower is no longer within the scope of the authority of the nine-sided governor, Rao is Zhang Ru, who is in the eyes of civil officials, and Zhang Ru, who is in power and opposition, does not dare to recruit directly without the emperor's consent.

It's not just the silver that's about it, it's about the emperor's face.

If he hides it, and any person impeaches him for supporting the army and respecting himself, his head will have to be moved, and it will be useless for the emperor to protect him.

Besides, the royal family has always been ruthless, and emperors who attack their own brothers abound, even if he meets the only emperor of the Ming Dynasty who is truly benevolent in his bones, this kind of matter related to military strength, he must report before doing things.

Zhu Youzhu stood up and walked in front of Zhang Ru, his expression was a little heavy: "Are you really sure?" ”

Zhang Ru shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I have to do it first." Before these people could react, they arranged for them first. After the results are made, it will naturally be able to plug the mouths of the people. Anyway, I don't waste the silver of the treasury, and I don't need His Majesty's inner treasury to dig out the silver. ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled bitterly and said, "I heard what you said in the court that day that it was from the inner treasury, but it really scared me a lot." ”

Zhang Ru smiled: "Your Majesty, the money in your money bag has almost been tossed clean by Liang Fang, how dare the minister ask Your Majesty for money." Your Majesty can rest assured that as long as the sailor is trained, it will not take a year for the first trip to sea to be put on the agenda. When the time comes, you will be able to get a sum of money back in a few months to supplement your family, so why not. ”

Seeing that he was becoming more and more boundless, Zhu Youzhu put away his banter and said, "Wenxuan, you know what I want." If I just asked for silver, I wouldn't agree to open the sea ban. ”

The emperors are serious, and if they are still hanging on as a courtier, it will be a bit of a disdain. Zhang Ru also said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, whether it is dealing with the Tatars or the Hu people on the other side of Liaodong, you need silver." In war, without money, we can only work and lose money.

Once the sea ban can bring benefits, then the Ming Dynasty wants to fight, even if the Ministry does not pay for it, His Majesty's inner treasury can meet a battle of less than 100,000 people.

At that time, it will not be a dream for us to reduce taxes lightly and make the lives of the people easier and easier. ”

"There's a lot to be done." Zhu Youzhu sighed.

Zhang Ru's eyes were solemn: "Yes! But only when you do it, do you know whether it can be done or not, and only then do you know how much it will cost. ”

The conversation between the two of them scared Qin Ji half to death, these are secrets that cannot be announced to the public, but they were listened to by themselves.

The emperor is merciful and will not kill people in a fit of anger, but Zhang Ru is not a soft-hearted person.

As he was about to quietly escape, his eyes were only focused on observing the movements of the two young men, but he forgot to look behind him. The foot accidentally touched the flower pot, and there was a crisp bang on the ground, which directly attracted the attention of both of them.

Looking at his frightened appearance, Zhu Youzhu smiled dumbly, and Zhang Ru's eyes showed a fierce light.

Sensing the killing intent in Zhang Ru's eyes, Zhu Youzhu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay Wenxuan, don't scare my wife." He won't say what we say. ”

Zhang Ru looked at Qin Ji coldly, and said word by word: "What I said to Your Majesty today, if you hear half a rumor outside, I will be the first to enter the palace and kill you." ”

On this occasion, a courtier actually said such a thing, and the emperor was not angry, throughout the ages, I am afraid that there are only these two monarchs and ministers.

Zhu Youzhu said very seriously: "Wife, what I said with Wenxuan today is a big matter, don't spread it." ”

Qin Ji hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times: "The slave can save it, the slave can save it." ”

After kowtowing more than a dozen times, Zhu Youzhu pulled him up: "Okay, okay, I don't mean to blame you, I just want you not to talk nonsense." ”

After comforting Qin Ji for a few words, Zhu Youzhu turned his head to Zhang Ru and said, "Wenxuan, do it boldly, I support you." The Holy Decree will be sent to you by Wynne, and you don't have to worry about that. But people can't get too much, lest they be known by those who have a heart, and then you will be involved in the felony of keeping private soldiers. ”

Zhang Ru nodded and retired: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, and the minister will retire." ”

The moment he turned his head, he couldn't help but see the mountains of twists and turns on the table, and Zhang Ru said a lot: "Your Majesty, don't be too tired, your body is important." ”

Zhu Youzhu felt a warmth in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface: "No way, you are not afraid to put yourself in the position of a sinner through the ages, if I ignore the government, our dreams will not be able to play in the next life." ”

Zhang Ru nodded a little heavily, turned his face, and his eyes were red.

He remembered that this king of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have only lived for more than thirty years. Now, he is only looking forward to the arrival of his little butterfly, which will allow Zhu Youzhu to live for decades longer.

This is also the reason why he is so urgent to open the sea and so eager to prepare for shipbuilding.
