Plain hands are slender, dressed in purple, with cloudy sideburns on his head, lifelike golden butterflies hanging on his chest, and a fine jade bracelet hanging on his snow-white wrists. The woman in her early thirties in front of her looks so beautiful, so beautiful that the tea boy can't bear to blaspheme.

After waiting for a while, he didn't hear the woman reply, he secretly raised his eyes and looked at it, looking at it, he couldn't help but feel a little stupid.

Princess Gulun is about thirty years old now, but in fact she is only twenty-eight years old, and she looks more like a girl of seventeen or eighteen. When Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, she was still a five-year-old child.

In the blink of an eye, she became an invisible authority in the capital, five years younger than Princess Gulun, but she was really raised by Princess Gulun Qingcha, from childhood to adulthood, deep down in her heart has always had an inexplicable affection for this life-saving benefactor and master.

He can't tell whether this is family affection or love, but he has always taken care of this feeling.

"Have you seen enough? How old a person is, saliva is about to flow out. Princess Gulun's somewhat lazy but magnetic voice sounded in her ears, her red lips exhaled like an orchid, and she didn't know when, she had arrived at her side.

Qingcha hurriedly lowered her head and said with a red face: "No, no." ”

Princess Gulun gently pulled his sleeve, pulled him up, lifted the curtain and sat on the bed, picked up the mandarin duck neck diagram that had not yet been embroidered, and said in a soft tone: "The matter is over for the time being, this confrontation is quite a fight, but it doesn't mean that the emperor's brother in the palace is a good-tempered person." Zhang Ru, this kid, will find a chance to deal with it in the future, those Beijing officials who have been degraded, try to make proper arrangements, and there will be a place to use them in the future. ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and rubbed her temples, frowning slightly: "During this time, the capital is not peaceful, and the Nanlu Villa may not be peaceful." You might as well move to Longxing Valley for a while! People on the outside, if you can abandon them, you can abandon them, as for who should be abandoned, you weigh it yourself. ”

Qingcha Gongzi looked up in surprise: "Is that it?" ”

Princess Gulun showed a little displeasure, but she didn't say anything to blame, and explained: "What can I do if I don't forget it, the emperor's brother has spoken in person, and now no one can move Zhang Ru except himself." This time, Wan An went too far, otherwise, the emperor's brother would not have interfered.

If things are bad, it's no wonder that Wan An, if he hadn't given up himself in a hurry, maybe Zhang Ru would have put the evidence controlled by his Jinyiwei on the table.

At that time, the big and small officials in Beiping City are afraid that they will have to be rotated.

Now that the six Shangshu have been preserved and Liu Ji has been saved, it is already a very good result.

It's futile to fight for it, it will only annoy some characters who shouldn't be provoked, and then it's us who will be unlucky. ”

There are so many explanations, just because Qingcha is the person she values the most, and the only person who can be regarded as a friend by her, and she is an orphan who she brought up.

Qingcha Gongzi said a little unwillingly: "My subordinates will go to the border town, I believe that those commanders will still give His Highness some face." You can't directly let him, the governor of the Nine Sides, fail to act, and let him be unhappy. ”

Princess Gulun waved her hand a little tiredly: "It's not time yet, don't give that kid eye medicine." The kind of real villain who will repay him will not let go of anyone who makes him stumble. ”

"Is that all?" Although everything he did was for the sake of the woman in front of him who seemed to be invincible but was actually very weak, Qingcha Gongzi still had a strong unwillingness in his heart.

He was unwilling to see his efforts go to waste, and he was unwilling to see this woman, because of his father's fault, he had been staying in this Longxing Valley where birds don't.

He believed that as long as she wanted to leave, the world was so big that no one could stop her. But he didn't believe that if the matter didn't work out this time, there would be no ripples in her heart.

A smile has already left a deep imprint in his heart through the precipitation of time, even if she shows the slightest displeasure, it is enough to make his heart toss and turn.

"Brother Emperor's health is not so good." After Princess Gulun said this, she waved her hand vigorously, didn't even care about the embroidery, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Qingcha Gongzi opened his mouth, and when he saw the face that made him fascinated, he still didn't say the words that came to his mouth in the end.

She was bitter, he knew, and that was enough.

For a long time in the next period, no matter how Jin Yiwei purged the officials in the capital, no matter which officials were demoted and deposed by the cabinet Liu Jue, the forces on Princess Gulun's side did not move.

It was as if their ambitions had been wiped out by this blow, as if they had never existed at all.

Only Zhang Ru and Zhu Jianshen couldn't rest assured, because both of them knew that the reason why they would gain the upper hand this time was completely the result of Zhu Jianshen's compromise.

Because of this, Zhang Ru held strong evidence such as Lao Chen and Xing Qiye in his hand and did not take it out, because of this, Zhu Jianshen did not let others follow him in addition to really holding Wan An responsible.

Royal affairs, Zhang Ru is not good at meddling and can't interfere, after all, it is a family affair.

Zhu Jianshen still has a bit of family affection in his bones, and he can't bear to kill his cousin.

According to Zhang Ru's character, of course, he is happy to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but unfortunately he is not the emperor, and in some things, he, a courtier who seems to have won the sacred heart, can do nothing.

Zhu Youzhang has the ability to change Zhu Jianshen's mind, but Princess Gulun is his cousin, once he gets involved, I'm afraid that he will fall deeper and deeper. Those historians are not able to coerce and lure, in the future, Zhu Youzhu will become the master of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Ru will definitely not let him risk his life.

After dealing with the affairs of the capital, it was already July, Zhang Ru found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in the capital for Fan Wuyi, and after barely appeasing this highly capable old-timer, he hurriedly went to Xuanfu.

Xuanfu Town is subordinate to the Wanquan Command Envoy, and the general soldier is the general with the title of town, which is much more powerful than Datong and Liaodong.

Since the last time he passed by Xuanfu, the chief soldier Zhang An was not a welcome face, and now the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and he must master the nine-sided border army as soon as possible, otherwise, when the prince ascends the throne, Princess Gulun will be in trouble, and he really doesn't have the ability to resist.

Therefore, the nine sides must be clasped in their hands.

As for the contradictions within Jinyiwei, he gave full authority to Mu Bin.

From a lowest-level cavalry of the Jinyi Guard, to a commander of the Jinyi Guard, Mu Bin's promotion speed is not fast. However, there is one person whose promotion speed is not slower than him, this person is Zhang Ru's former boss, when he first entered the Jinyi Wei Dong Division, he also had an unpleasant quarrel with him Jinyi Wei Baihu - Zhou Li.

This person is Yuan Bin's cronies, and he stayed, which is what the emperor and Yuan Bin meant.

In the hands of someone like this Son of Heaven who cannot be trusted 100% by the emperor, it is not a good thing after all. So now Jinyiwei is not exactly Zhang Ru's Jinyiwei, it is Zhang Ru and the emperor's Jinyiwei.

In the past, when Jin Yiwei commanded affairs, it was okay, at least Yuan Bin hung his title, Zhou Li didn't have the courage to blatantly oppose Zhang Ru, but now it's good, he is the commander of the same knowledge, Mu Bin is also the commander of the same knowledge, Zhang Ru is not there, the two big guys have to fight.

However, Zhang Ru didn't take this little problem to heart.

Before leaving, he had a detailed discussion with Mu Bin, and the issues around him were nothing more than the safety of the East Palace and the rationing of the personnel of the thousands of households in Jinyiwei.

According to Mu Bin's meaning, some of the thousands of households in various places should actually be abolished, so as not to cry poor all the time, and the inner treasury can't take out so much money to support so many idlers.

Zhang Ru resolutely disagreed, and now Xie Lun's side has started, although the business is not big, he can get thousands of taels of silver every month. This bit of silver is just a drop in the bucket, compared to the huge organization of Jinyiwei, it is not worth mentioning at all, but he believes that Xie Lun will develop the Chamber of Commerce in the future, not to mention a Jinyiwei, that is, the entire border army of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to worry about the household department.

Of course, this is only his temporary assumption.

No one can say how far it will be able to develop in the future, Zhang Ru himself is just a traverser, not an immortal. However, now in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he has begun to support the handicraft industry, and Xie Lun has also invested 30,000 taels of silver to build a large silk weaving factory in Suzhou.

Not only did he disagree with Mu Bin's point of view, but he felt that in order to strengthen control, every thousand households in Jinyi Wei must be someone from Dongsifang.

The two couldn't hold each other, and in the end, it was Zhang Ru who won, and Mu Bin dropped a sentence that as long as the adults gave enough money, they would recruit another 100,000 people, and their subordinates would not leave directly. The two didn't talk about Zhou Li at all.

This was an oversight, an oversight that neither Zhang Ru nor Mu Bin thought about. Zhou Li is only commanding Tongzhi now, his authority is not very large, and there are not many people under him, so he can't be compared with Mu Bin at all.

He thought that nothing would happen, but in the end something terrible happened, of course, this is a later story.

After chatting with the prince in the East Palace for a night, and talking with Liang Fang for two hours, Zhang Ru set off again with the five hundred people in the East Division.

In July, the weather was as hot as a stove, the sun in the sky was scorching the earth, and the trees next to the official road were wilted by the sun.

The tireless cicadas kept shouting that they were so hot that they were so hot, but the poor young people on the official road were so hot that they couldn't breathe.

Leaving the city of Beijing and entering the junction of Xuanfu and Beijing, a white figure blocked the way.
