After some free talking, and visiting many people in the camp of the sailor, Zhang Ru finally decided to respect the opinions of these old soldiers and let them stay and advance and retreat with him.

On the third day after Zhang Ru let go, Chen Guang returned, and at the same time he also brought back fifty boatloads of grain and grass. This grain and grass is enough for the 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Fuzhou to eat for at least a year.

In the blink of an eye, it was June of the ninth year of Hongzhi, and what puzzled the courtiers was that the emperor seemed to have forgotten the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city of Fuzhou, and still did not issue an order for a general attack.

The news that Li Min was reprimanded by the emperor spread in the court, and no one troubled Zhu Youzhu for a short time. As the weather gets hotter, some people are getting more and more out of breath.

The first one to jump out was Li Dongyang, the emperor who Zhu Youzhu couldn't reprimand but didn't want to see.

This master is the only one among the courtiers who has no grudge against Zhang Ru, but has been sparing no effort to kill Zhang Ru.

In Xungui's eyes, whether he is upright or not is not said for the time being, at least in his own eyes, he is upright.

"Your Majesty, the old minister entered the palace one month after another, and His Majesty delayed it again and again, but he couldn't do anything about that Zhang Wenxuan." Li Dongyang lowered his head slightly, and stood about five zhang away from Zhu Youjiao.

This distance is the closest position for the emperor to his cronies, and even if the person he receives is a master, it will take a buffer time to assassinate him. And this time is enough for the Nine Guards of Tianmen to react.

Except, of course, Zhang Ru.

That's a strange guy who can hook up with the emperor, and that's a reckless man who has no awe at all and only knows how to do things according to his own preferences.

From this point of view, it is enough to see how favored Li Dongyang is.

Zhu Youzhang's slightly helpless tone was mixed with impatience: "Teacher, things are not as simple as you think. I also have a lot of considerations, and the Fuzhou Naval Court has invested a lot, and the Sailor Brigade that I have finally built is still in Fuzhou City. There are also hundreds of thousands of Caoyun people in Xiamen Port, and these people are a big force when they gather together. ”

Li Dongyang's face was as usual: "The minister thinks that these reasons are not reasons, and the only reason is that His Majesty is looking for excuses." Zhang Wenxuan occupies Fuzhou and Xiamen, but Xiamen and Fuzhou can send a large army to cut off the connection between them. People from Fuzhou can't go to Xiamen, and people from Xiamen can't go to Fuzhou.

Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the city, and it only took a few days, and the city of Fuzhou, which was short of food and medicine, would inevitably be self-defeating.

His Majesty has been wandering, putting hundreds of thousands of troops outside Fuzhou City, is it just to guard Zhang Wenxuan? ”

Zhu Youzhu explained very patiently: "Teacher, it is not easy to establish a Fuzhou Sailor, and the Sailor can bring a lot of national funds. The water master who has always been mature can bring endless wealth to Da Ming, if the water master is ruined like this, I am really reluctant.

I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and some things cannot only be concerned about temporary gains and losses, but also have to think long-term.

The people of Fuzhou City have left a lot, and even many of the people around him have left, and the only one who has not made any movement is the Fuzhou Sailor.

It was only a matter of time before the attack on Fuzhou was made, and now was not the time. ”

"Long nights and dreams." Li Dongyang said expressionlessly.

Scholars are sometimes like this, and their stubbornness is terrifying, so terrible that it can make even a battle-experienced military general fearful.

Li Dongyang is the most stubborn type of person among scholars, and such a person is in the cabinet, and that is Xie Qian. In some ways, Li Dongyang is sometimes more stubborn than Xie Qian.

Zhu Youzhu said with a little displeasure: "Teacher, put your heart in your stomach, all this, I am free and measured." ”

Li Dongyang didn't seem to hear the unhappiness in the emperor's tone, and still said: "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, please ask Your Majesty to attack Fuzhou as soon as possible, kill the traitor Zhang Wenxuan, and return the Ming Dynasty to a bright future." ”

"Why should the teacher embarrass Your Majesty, Your Majesty has his own sense of proportion in these things, the teacher is so persecuted, but he has a personal vendetta against Zhang Wenxuan." A soft and glutinous voice fluttered into the ears of Li Dongyang and Zhu Youjiao.

Li Dongyang looked back and saw that it was the queen Zhang Yaoyao, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

After the salute, he straightened his waist again, which was not very straight: "The queen's words are ridiculous, Your Majesty is measured, and you should always remind you to be a courtier." ”

Zhang Yao walked over, sat directly beside Zhu Youjiao, stretched out Rouyi, who was three points whiter than snow, and gently held Zhu Youzhang's somewhat cold hand: "What Lord Li said is just the words of a family, the courtiers reminded the emperor that there is something wrong, and the emperor insists on the right choice, so what's wrong." ”

The meaning of the queen's words, how could the smart Li Dongyang not hear it, she was teaching herself what a monarch is!

But Li Dongyang didn't think it was wrong for him to do this, and he was a little disgusted that Zhang Yaoyao interfered in the affairs of the court, and said very politely: "Niangniang's mother is in charge of the harem, it's good to be in charge of the harem. ”

Zhang Yaoyao's face was slightly cold, and he glanced at Zhu Youzhu beside him, and saw that there was no anger on her husband's face, so she pretended to be casual and said: "Master Li thinks that this palace is a woman's family and should not interfere in politics." Taizu's posthumous training, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

This palace doesn't think what Master Li said is wrong, but this palace is not interfering in politics, just expounding the facts.

Holding troops on Fuzhou is what His Majesty means, Lord Li has forced the palace several times as a courtier, but he has put His Majesty in his eyes.

His Majesty's body and bones are already slightly sick, which Master Li knows. But Lord Li is willing to take risks, and still speaks many times, is he trying to anger His Majesty?

This palace is a woman, and she doesn't interfere in politics, but it doesn't seem to be too much wrong to protect her husband! ”

Li Dongyang was sweaty on his back by Zhang Yaoyao's soft and hard words, and said that it was you Li Dongyang who didn't know what to do, and said it more seriously, you Li Dongyang knew that the emperor was not in good health and couldn't be angry, and he went to the palace many times to persecute him, what do you want?

Fortunately, there is no so-called caring person in this Dongnuan Pavilion, if some caring people hear it, I am afraid that Li Dongyang's life will be difficult.

Zhu Youzhu didn't help Li Dongyang speak, but after seeing his face change, he whispered to Zhang Yaoyao: "I'm tired." ”

Zhang Yaoyao stopped very skillfully, and immediately reached out to pinch Zhu Youjiao's shoulder.

Li Dongyang retired, not daring to argue with the emperor about whether to use troops against Fuzhou.

If the emperor wants to use troops, he will naturally order an attack, and since the emperor did not give an order, then he can listen to the courtiers.

It is an eternal truth that courtiers cannot influence the king's thoughts, especially when the emperor is in a bad mood.
