Zhu Jianshen patted Zhang Ru's back very kindly, and said while patting: "Little Huzi, don't cry, it's so big, and you're still crying, what do you look like." I remember when you were a child, you said that men don't flick when they have tears. ”

Zhang Ru sobbed and said: "I went to Jiubian, but for a year, Your Majesty is as old as this, and the minister's heart aches." ”

Zhu Jianshen sighed: "People will always die of old age, and when you talk to me in the future, you don't have to be so outside." Three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, three thousand beauties, there will always be a day when they turn into loess. You are not only my minister, you have been with us for many years, and you are my son. Everything this time was made up by me, and there is only one person targeted, and that is you. You must be blaming me in your heart, thinking that I don't trust you, but I am not only your elder, but also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the expectation of the people in this world.

My ancestors passed the throne to me, and I can't just bury it.

Fortunately, there is nothing evil in Da Ming, otherwise I estimate that my nickname will be a bad word like a.

After so many years of tossing, it is only recently that I have truly realized that nothing is more important than a good body. However, by the time I learned this, it was already a little late.

The crown prince is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he will be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, don't look at his usual respect for me, in fact, my status in his heart is not even as good as that of Qin Jina.

There are only two people in the huge harem who really make him interested, one is the queen mother of his imperial grandmother, and the other is your milk brother.

I gave you time to go to the Nine Sides to accumulate strength, just to see if you would breed undeserved ambitions. It's just that my body is getting worse day by day, and I can't wait that long. Otherwise, if you direct this good drama in a few years, I am afraid that if you are as smart as you, it will be difficult to find flaws.

I am old, my days are numbered, and in the future, this country will belong to you young people.

I can't let go of a dangerous person by the prince's side, because that will harm the prince and my Ming dynasty. Fortunately, your performance this time is not satisfactory, otherwise, I am afraid that I will have to attack you. ”

After finishing the tirade, Zhu Jianshen took a few breaths, and with the help of Liang Fang, he calmed down his breath before he picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip of tea.

When he said these words in his heart, he didn't seem to be afraid of Zhang Ru and rebellious at all, but after he finished speaking, there was a faint look of expectation in his eyes.

It stands to reason that it is best to kneel on the ground at this time to show loyalty, but Zhang Ru knew this but did not do so. I saw that he took over from Liang Fang and gently patted the emperor's back, and his eyes had become red for some time.

Some words were blocked in his throat for a long time, because he was afraid that after he said them, the emperor would strengthen his determination to kill him.

Thinking that he was frightened by his words, Zhu Jianshen took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't worry, now that you have proven yourself to me, in the future, what you have to do is to prove yourself to the world." After a hundred years, perhaps the world will say that I was incompetent during my reign. But at the very least, when it comes to choosing an heir and a minister, they won't have a chance to criticize me. “

Zhang Ru wiped away his tears, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will live up to his expectations." ”

"Good, good, good!" Zhu Jianshen was very happy: "I didn't misunderstand you, you should have a certain understanding of the situation on the nine sides, and the next thing to do is to control Jinyiwei well." Don't worry about Dongchang, Liang Fang doesn't dare to go against you, and Wei Xing, who dares to go against you, has been sent away. There are still a lot of clowns in the capital who want to make waves, you just need to deal with those noisy ones. ”

"What Your Majesty said, but Wantong?" The emperor's words made Zhang Ru a little confused.

With the relationship between the emperor and Wan Zhen'er, he should not say to himself that he wants to deal with Wanjia, but now the only people in the capital who can threaten the prince's position are the emperor's other sons. And the king of Zhongxing is the prince who is most likely to be raised. You must know that the one who has the most ideas for changing storage is Wanjia.

Zhu Jianshen shook his head and said, "Zhen'er is old, and his days by my side are numbered. I promised her that no one would hurt her family, whether I was alive or gone. So this time, I asked Wantong's people to besiege the East Palace, just to make Wantong lose his minions. It's a pity that he still hasn't figured out why I'm doing this, maybe he's still hating me in his heart! ”

Zhang Ru wanted to explain, but found that the wording he had prepared was so pale and weak.

Zhu Jianshen said again: "The word faint is the image of my courtiers to me in private. They did not dare to say it in the open, because no one above them dared to speak the truth. What kind of paper paste three pavilion old, clay sculpture six books, one by one the name is like thunder. However, the Ming Dynasty still depends on the cabinet to take care of it, and I also want to give Youzhang a chance so that he can make drastic reforms. So I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, just to let those people let their guard down. ”

Indeed, some of Emperor Chenghua's actions have already been engraved with the word faint in the eyes of the courtiers, not to mention that those courtiers have little to do with him, so he doesn't need to explain to them. Even those courtiers have a lot of relationship with him, and it is not a wise choice to help the courtiers speak at this time. What's more, in private, even he himself sometimes feels that the emperor is too stupid.

"It's rare for the two of us to have such a long talk, don't be too restrained. I also figured it out when I was near, and although it was late, I didn't regret it. You are resolute, a little less tactful, and not very suitable for officialdom. It's a problem, it has to be fixed! I asked you to go to the nine sides, and you only went to two places before there was a lot of trouble, I just released the news, and you immediately disobeyed the order and returned to Beijing. I know that you and Youzhu are like brothers, and even in the Emperor's Family, the relationship between many brothers is not as good as the relationship between you and Youzhang. But you can't just think about everything, you have to help the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Jianshen told him, he hoped that Zhang Ru would listen to it, because he knew Zhang Ru, but he also knew that Zhang Ru might not be able to listen.

Sure enough, Zhang Ru's answer made him not know whether to be happy or angry: "The prince is the first, if someone is unfavorable to the prince, the minister will not care about the Ming Dynasty!" ”

After a while, Emperor Chenghua suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "Huzi! You remember to me that as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, you will always put the Ming Dynasty first in your heart. ”

Zhang Ru said stubbornly: "Huzi knows, but Huzi can't do it." ”

"You!" Emperor Chenghua pointed at Zhang Ru, but he was so suffocated that he couldn't speak.

Liang Fang hurriedly supported Emperor Chenghua: "Your Majesty is angry, Lord Zhang is also a heartfelt statement, he is upright, Your Majesty, don't be angry." ”

"He's just going to be!" After a sulking breath was filmed, Zhu Jianshen said without resentment.

Zhang Ru stood in front of Zhu Jianshen with low eyebrows: "Huzi didn't mean to make you angry, but Huzi spoke straight and never acted against his conscience." Daming is His Majesty's Daming, and it will be the prince's Daming in the future, what will happen in the future, Huzi doesn't know, Huzi just wants to protect Daming with his own efforts. ”

Although he knew that he was going against his will, Zhu Jianshen still felt a lot better at that moment, and waved his hand: "Okay, you go back first!" Yuan Bin is old, Jinyiwei needs to be replaced by someone else in charge in the future, you make some achievements first, I believe you will be able to go up soon. You have to find out the situation on the nine sides, otherwise it will be a bit difficult to figure out the situation in the future. ”

Zhang Ru nodded and said, "Then Your Majesty take good care of the Holy Body." ”

Zhu Jianshen said angrily: "As long as you kid is less angry with me, just be busy!" My body has its own measure, and, remember, unless there is such a big crime as rebellion, you are not allowed to touch a single hair of the family. ”

Zhang Ru nodded in agreement on the surface, but in fact, he said in his heart: You still naturally need to keep your hands on Wanjia, as long as they don't trouble me, I don't bother to deal with them. As for whether the Wanjia rebellion after you leave, it's not up to some people to say. ”

Zhu Jianshen seemed to see through Zhang Ru's thoughts at a glance, and said seriously: "I have never begged anyone in my life, but this time I begged you." Promise me that after I leave, I won't settle accounts after the fall. ”

"It doesn't matter what the minister said." Zhang Ru knew how deep the prince's hatred for Wan Guifei was, so he didn't dare to pack the ticket indiscriminately. You can't break with the prince when the time comes!

Zhu Jianshen said: "You have the final say." I know that as long as I ask him not to do anything to Wanjia, he won't do anything to Wanjia. What I'm most worried about is you kid, you have a temperament that will be revenged, if you don't agree in person, you will definitely do things that are happy for your relatives and enemies. ”

Zhang Ru muttered dissatisfiedly: "Let them go, only then will the relatives and enemies be happy." ”

The voice was not loud, Zhu Jianshen didn't hear it, just when he looked up and saw Zhu Jianshen full of silver threads, his heart softened: "Okay!" The minister agreed. ”

After Zhang Ru left, Zhu Jianshen coughed for a long time, and did not stop coughing until he coughed up blood. Liang Fang looked at Zhu Jianshen, and couldn't help feeling distressed, after being with him for decades, his master has become like this, how can he, a minion, not feel distressed.

However, just like Zhu Jianshen said, it is too late to regret it now.

It stands to reason that the emperor has already seen everything, and the unlucky one is him, the chief of the inner department who introduced the scholars. But instead of blaming him, the emperor also told him to have a good relationship with Zhang Ru. This made the eunuch, the chief eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, completely lose his other thoughts, and he and Wan Jia's eyebrows were eyebrows, and he said all kinds of things to please Zhang Ru.

It was precisely because of his frank confession that Zhu Jianshen summoned Zhang Ru this time.

The decrepit and elderly emperor has realized that this Da Ming will soon be out of his control, so he wants to do what he can for the people around him while he still holds the authority of Da Ming.
