Zhang Ru stagnated, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The minister doesn't want to die, but the minister is not afraid of death." If you die for the Ming Dynasty, it is not a pity for the minister. ”

Zhu Jianshen trembled with anger: "Okay, okay, you Zhang Ru is amazing, just you Zhang Ru is thinking about the country, I am a faint king!" ”

"Whether Your Majesty is a faint monarch or not is not something that ministers can discuss, a hundred years later, there will be people who will talk about it." Zhang Ru said lightly.

Everyone in the hall, whether it was Wei Xing, who had lost his roots, or Li Zixing, a god, or He Yong, the loyal commander of the guards, had a thought in their hearts at the same time: This kid can't find death?

"Say, are you behind all this!" Zhu Jianshen suddenly came up with such a sentence.

The emperor's flushed face was obviously extremely angry, and several people didn't dare to come out, and He Yong, who had a bit of a conscience, kept glancing at Zhang Ru, hoping that he could soften and calm the emperor's anger.

It's a pity that Zhang Ru turned a blind eye.

Standing in place, neither humble nor arrogant, with an angular face that is not wavering, Li Zixing even has an illusion, as if the person standing there is not a young man who is not young but a young man, but a towering tree.

Wei Xing probably wanted to take advantage of the emperor's anger to beat Zhang Ru to death with a stick, and immediately jumped out to make a threat: "Be bold Zhang Ru, don't kneel down and ask for guilt." ”

Zhang Ru said lightly: "My Ming men are all backbones, unlike you, a guy who can't even give birth to a son, if you have milk, you are a mother." I still say the same thing, I have never made a mistake, and I will never kneel. Your Majesty has never asked me to kneel down and plead guilty, you are a eunuch, what qualifications do you have to command me. Don't you think your Dongchang is superior to me? Or do you think you, a traitorous villain, can play right and wrong in front of His Majesty Shengming? ”

also wanted to put Zhang Ru to death, but he didn't expect to be robbed by Zhang Ru instead, Wei Xing was hesitant, pointing at Zhang Ru and trembling with anger.

Zhu Jian glanced at Zhang Ru deeply, and then said to the people around him: "Everyone go down, I want to talk to Zhang Ru alone." ”

Except for Wei Xing, who was a little worried that the emperor would not bear to attack Zhang Ru, everyone else thought that the emperor was afraid of losing face, so they broke everyone away.

Similarly, Zhang Ru couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted to leave him to talk in detail, but he knew his current situation, and since he said something like that, he was ready.

Even if it's death!

After everyone left, Zhu Jianshen pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit!" ”

"Yes." Zhang Ru sat on the chair without saying a word.

"Why are you going toe-to-toe with me?" Zhu Jianshen's tone was deep, and he asked with some vicissitudes.

Zhang Ru said: "It's not that the minister wants to go toe-to-toe with His Majesty, but that Your Majesty listens to the villain's slander and wants to embarrass the prince." The prince is a brother, and the minister should naturally be attentive to the prince. ”

Zhu Jianshen said: "Didn't you say that I treated you like a father?" How can a father choose a brother over a father? ”

Zhang Ru pondered for a while, and after preparing the wording, he asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, do you want to listen to the truth or falsehood?" ”

Zhu Jianshen said lightly: "Naturally, you have to listen to the truth." ”

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Ru said: "Your Majesty is the monarch's father, but over the years, the ministers have grown up in the palace, and the best for the ministers is Empress Wu, who was deposed by His Majesty, and the Queen Mother's grandmother." As for Your Majesty, in addition to alchemy and dealing with state affairs every day, it is delusional for the minister to see His Majesty.

The prince and the minister have been together for more than ten years, and many times, if it were not for the prince's maintenance, the minister's little life would have been sent to the deep palace long ago.

This open gun and hidden arrow makes people unable to guard against it, but the minister has to guard against it.

However, His Majesty made a decision, and even proposed to change the prince, and the minister didn't know who told His Majesty bad things about the prince, but the minister knew that this person was absolutely ill-intentioned.

There are villains around Your Majesty, and the ministers have a clear heart on the side of the monarch, but they have no ability to clear the villains around them for the monarch, and this minister is incompetent.

Of the three scholars in the cabinet, Wan An is treacherous and cunning, don't look at his righteous face, but in fact, he is the most unscrupulous. Liu Ji and Liu Mian are shameless, they don't dare to form a party, they only know how to run a private business. The only one who is a little capable, Liu Jue, Liu Shuwen, can't make a difference under this trend.

You don't hear the common people often say that the paper paste three pavilions are old, and the clay sculpture is six books.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, just the civil ministers, can make half of the Ming Dynasty lost.

The minister has been fighting with Wang Zhi since he was a child, but he knows that Wang Zhi is a talented person, if he is not that person's person, the minister will definitely beg His Majesty to leave him behind.

His Majesty and the noble concubine are deeply in love, but the noble concubine is eager for the prince's bones to be gone, the minister is not talented, and the seven-foot body is hidden in it. If anyone touches the prince, the minister will not follow!

Minister..."

"Say no more!" The last few words came to Zhu Jian's deep heart, and he didn't want to listen to these words anymore.

The person he loves is fleeting, but that woman has staked her best youth on herself, and after many years of getting along, he no longer regards that person as an ordinary concubine. It was his family, the family he valued the most.

Although he knew that what Zhang Ru said was the truth, he still couldn't accept these words coming out of the mouth of Zhang Ru, a junior.

has been an emperor for so many years, if it is really stupid and incompetent, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will have been ravaged by the Tatars long ago. Under the internal and external troubles, he can still maintain the Ming Dynasty, which shows that this emperor, who has misunderstood future generations for thousands of years, is not as unbearable as the legend.

"Don't stay in the capital, go to the border town and have a look, it's good for you." Zhu Jian thought about it for a long time before making such a decision.

The child in front of him is no longer a child, he has grown up, this child is not his own son Zhu Youjiao, and he can't let himself be at his mercy. Even if he is an emperor who is a man of his word, he can determine the life and death of the other party with one word. But he couldn't do it, after all, he watched this child grow up.

"Your Majesty is driving me out of Beijing?" Zhang Ru asked.

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand, looking extremely tired: "Tatar has repeatedly committed Datong, there are too many people you have offended in the capital this time, so you should go out and relax!" You said that you want to guard the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty for the crown prince, and I will give you this opportunity, first guard the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty for me. ”

Seeing that he didn't have the slightest intention of loosening, Zhang Ru had to appoint, there were indeed a lot of people offended in the capital this time, although it was a big deal to keep the prince, but I don't know if the big people who had been threatened by themselves would settle accounts after the autumn.

"Since Wang Zhi was deposed, no one has been able to hold the position of eunuch in Datong Town, I heard that your training in the East Division is quite effective, so you should go to the Datong border army to be a supervisor!" Zhu Jianshen said his thoughts very easily, looking at his relaxed appearance, it was obviously well thought out.

The sensitive Zhang Ru immediately sensed that something was wrong, and it seemed that all this was under the control of the emperor. And in the dark, he had a hunch that what he did in the capital during this period of time did not escape the emperor's eyes.

"I'm tired, go down!" Zhu Jianshen waved his hand unceremoniously to drive away.

Zhang Ru arched his hand, and then walked backwards out of the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Seeing that Zhang Ru came out unharmed, and the emperor did not order them to take Zhang Ru, the commander of the guards and Yong were surprised. He patted Zhang Ru on the shoulder and said, "You kid can be regarded as coming out, it's okay." ”

Zhang Ru didn't have any ill feelings towards this brother-like guard commander, and squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you for worrying about the commander." ”

The two didn't have a deep friendship, and Zhang Ru didn't plan to say more to He Yong, and after a few words of greeting, he ignored the expectant eyes of Li Zixing and Liang Liyong, ignored Wei Xing's murderous gaze, and strode towards the outside of the palace.

Back at the Xishan station, Zhang Ru immediately told every brother under his command the news that the emperor had let him go to Datong, and now there are only one hundred and fifty-nine people left in the East Division, and these one hundred and fifty-nine people can be trusted.

Those who couldn't be trusted were either killed by Mu Bin, or Zhang Ru found an excuse to drive them out of Dongsifang.

"Where the adults go, the villains go." After a period of silence, the honest Jiang Wei took an unexpectedly firm stance. This man in his forties has a little gray beard, so to speak, he is risking his net worth and life in Bo.

Who doesn't know that Datong is the least peaceful place, and if Tatar has nothing to do, they will come to provoke the Ming army, not to mention, and there are people who are not allowed to make trouble. After going to Datong, whether I can come back is another matter.

In this matter, Jiang Wei chose to go to Datong with Zhang Ru without hesitation, which shows how determined Jiang Wei is.

Under his leadership, those who looked down on Jiang Wei before were in awe of him, and at the same time asked for his life: "I am willing to follow the adults to Datong, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up." ”

One hundred and fifty-nine people knelt on one knee, and the scene was still spectacular.

Zhang Ru stretched out his hand and helped him in the air, and then pulled Mu Bin and Jiang Wei up: "Brothers, Zhang Ru is here, life and death are unpredictable, the kindness of the brothers, Zhang Ru understands it." But there must be someone stationed in the capital, otherwise I will leave the capital, and if the prince is in trouble, I will be out of reach in Datong. So some of you can go to Datong with me, and some of you must stay. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't want to stay.

It seems that staying is a very shameful thing for these hot-blooded children.

Zhang Ru was a little moved, and scolded with a smile: "You guys, don't treat death as home, the capital is also not safe, this time we have gone a little too far, those dignitaries, I don't know how many want to attack us!" ”

The atmosphere was not alleviated by his laughter and scolding, and everyone stared at Zhang Ru.

"Mu Bin, there are not many people in the capital that I can trust, you take forty-nine people to stay, and the daily affairs of the East Sifang still have to be done." Seeing that everyone didn't express his position, Zhang Ru had no choice but to order his own.

Boss Mu Bin said unhappily: "Why me, Jiang Wei can also stay!" ”

Zhang Ru said solemnly: "Jiang Weiren is too honest, which one of them is easy to provoke, Wan Jia, Liu Jue, Liu Ji, Wan'an, and Li Zi Province." I can rest assured that you stay. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Bin was not easy to insist, and chose forty-nine people to stay, regardless of whether those people were willing to stay or not.
