Chapter 489: Preparation

The letter arrived in the capital.

After reading the letter, the emperor's face was cloudy, and the people around him were silent, and everyone didn't even dare to come out.

Zhu Youzhu took four or five deep breaths, picked up the letter paper and slowly walked to Wang Zhi, who looked down at the ground: "Look at the letter written by the person you praised." You can look at the last sentence and see what he said in the last sentence. ”

The emperor was angry and ambushed millions of corpses.

Wang Zhi's heart jumped, and a bad premonition came to his heart. He almost forgot that the person who didn't seem to be able to be manipulated by others, and that person would never take other people's threats seriously, even if the person who opened his mouth to threaten was the emperor.

Wang Zhi, who was sweating profusely, saw the sentence at the end of the letter, and was so frightened that he softened. He thought that Zhang Ru's words might be unkind, but he really didn't expect it to be so polite.

"Immediately summon cabinet scholars Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, and Xu Pu to meet him. Xuanliu Shangshu Dongnuan Pavilion is on standby, and he must not be called sick. Zhu Youzhang's tone was very calm, as if this was not something to be angry about.

Wang Zhi heard the anger in his calm tone.

No matter how many ministers attack, no matter how many petty officials make false accusations, as long as Zhang Wenxuan does not admit it himself, there is always room for things to turn around. Now, Zhang Ru has made it clear in the letter that he is not afraid of the imperial court's million-strong army, even Wang Zhi, and he can no longer help Zhang Ru speak.

"The ministers are willing to follow the army to conquer Zhang Yi!" Wang Zhi knelt down, his tone sonorous.

It's a great time to show your loyalty, and it's a good opportunity to take sides. Whether to rebel on Zhang Ru's side or to rebel on the emperor's side, there is always an explanation.

Zhu Youzhu was quite satisfied with Wang Zhi's performance, and nodded without a trace: "Let's go to the cabinet to discuss it first, and I'll talk about your affairs later." ”

On the same day, the imperial court officially decided to crusade against the Fuzhou faction headed by Zhang Ru.

"Li Min, the household department squeezed out 30 million taels of silver, recruited troops in all areas, mobilized soldiers and horses in Xuanfu, Datong, and Yulin to recruit Zhang thieves in Fuzhou. You must ensure the supply of grain and grass, otherwise, we will not be spared. ”

"Ma Wensheng, this time you will be the main general, personally lead the troops to recruit, do not destroy the thief, and will not return to the court."

"A few gentlemen in the cabinet, this time, I plan to levy it in person, and the affairs of this court will be handed over to a few gentlemen."

Zhu Youzhu commanded as he sketched on the map.

On the map of Fuzhou, it can be seen that the emperor is determined to take down the Fuzhou department headed by Zhang Ru this time.

As soon as he heard that the emperor said that he wanted to drive the expedition in person, several scholars in the cabinet immediately quit, and Xu Pu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the time of the expedition is not trivial, please think twice." ”

Liu Jian immediately echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty! If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, His Majesty's daughter can not easily take risks. ”

Li Dongyang said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty thinks twice, Your Majesty thinks twice!" ”

Even Xie Qian, who has always been silent, rarely stood up and said a few words: "Your Majesty, Zhang Thief is rampant, and he can only be rampant for a while, but now I am a great Ming and a rich people, and I don't need to worry about the disease at all." His Majesty sits high in the Ming Hall, and has his own military generals to solve Zhang Wei and give His Majesty a suitable explanation. ”

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and said very arbitrarily: "It's rare for me to be arbitrary, I have to take off this rebellious head." Everyone, let's get ready! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Under the leadership of Xie Qian, several ministers of the cabinet all knelt on the ground, and one by one they struck their heads on the ground as wooden fish, hoping to change the emperor's mind with their own practical actions.

It's a pity that Zhu Youzhu has made up his mind to go to the expedition in person, if it is other rebellion, Zhu Youzhu will definitely not be so concerned. But this person is different, this person is Zhu Youzhang's brother, and he is a person who occupies a very important position in his heart.

He can allow Zhang Ru to die in his own hands, but he absolutely does not allow Zhang Ru to die in the hands of others.

After a few breaths, Liu Jian and Xie Qian's foreheads had begun to bleed, both of them were real people, unlike Li Dongyang and Xu Pu who knew how to measure.

The six Shangshu also knelt on the ground, but some people kowtowed, and some people didn't.

This one who didn't kowtow was Lord Wang Shu.

Among these people, except for Li Dongyang, it is he Wang Shu who knows the relationship between the emperor and Zhang Ru best. He knew why the emperor was so concerned, so what he had to do was to let the emperor get his wish.

Wang Zhou's label has not been torn off yet, and it is a good time to stand up against the emperor at this time, which is a good time to tear off the label on Wang Zhou's body.

Wang Shu didn't do this, because he didn't bother to do it.

When this old master was in Nanjing, he was still able to think of loyalty, and every time he tirelessly wrote a book to bitterly explain the disadvantages of the times, ordinary people did not have the energy and perseverance.

Zhu Youzhu said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't persecute me so much! I've made up my mind, and even if you break your head, I won't change my mind. You Aiqing still keep a useful body to serve the court! ”

The coldness in the words could be felt by several kowtowers, and everyone stopped moving, Liu Jian Xie Qian raised his bleeding head, and his eyes fell on Zhu Youjiao's face.

There was no unbearability on the emperor's face, and the only expression was determination.

"Obey the order!" Things had come to this point, and they could no longer ask the emperor to dismiss them.

The officials in the capital began to get busy, and the news that the emperor was going to conquer the southeast in person was not taken as a secret by the officials, and soon, everyone in the capital knew the news.

Wang Zhou sat at home, and the chair under his ass seemed to have nails on him. He began to wonder why he had left Fuzhou in the first place.

Once promised a brother, life and death together, and now he is hiding in the capital to enjoy the blessings, but those brothers are waiting for the upcoming disaster in Fuzhou.

"Young master, the master said that if you can't figure it out, then go to the study to find him." The old housekeeper was ordered to look at Wang Zhou, and when he saw him sitting on pins and needles, he reminded in a low voice.

Wang Zhou immediately bounced up from the chair, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and he ran towards his grandfather Wang Shu's study.

He's struggling right now, so he needs someone who can enlighten him.

And his grandfather Wang Shu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Wang Shu already knew who the knocker was and said defenselessly.

Wang Zhou walked in and saluted his grandfather: "My grandson has seen my grandfather. ”

Wang Shu said: "But there are doubts in your heart? ”

Wang Zhou nodded honestly: "Sun Er is indeed puzzled in his heart. ”

"Why?" Wang Shu asked rhetorically.

Wang Zhou shook his head and said he didn't know: "My grandson doesn't know why!" ”

Wang Shu hit the nail on the head and said: "For feelings, for affection." ”
