Chapter 836: The Prosperous Age
The next day, Zhu Houzhao, who left the palace without saying a word, returned to Dongnuan Pavilion under the leadership of Zhang Ru to plead guilty, which naturally made Zhu Youzhu very angry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
But he couldn't get angry with Zhang Ru, so he had to pour out all his anger on his son.
Even if Zhang Ru kept saying that all the responsibility was on him, Zhu Youzhu still punished Zhu Houzhao for copying the Tao Te Ching a hundred times.
This is just a small episode, Zhu Houzhao did not blame Zhang Ru for this, but asked Zhu Youzhu from time to time to go to the Dingguo Mansion to find Zhang Ru.
Under the pretext of asking Zhang Ru for advice, and then justifiably playing with Zhang Muyan and Li Xiao, it has become Zhu Houzhao's happiest time.
After all, life outside the palace is different from that in the palace, and there are always people staring at him to do this and that. At least Su Qiqi and Jiang Caiwei are very good to Li Xiao and Zhu Houzhao because the Zhang family has no heirs for the time being.
Even if Jiang Caiwei was pregnant with a child, after Li Minghai diagnosed that it was a boy, the two girls still had an irrepressible love for the two children.
Zhang Muyan has a big heart, if he is replaced by an ordinary child, he will have to wonder if he picked it up.
Time passed quickly, and after the old man Wang Shu was reactivated by the imperial court, he really did a few earth-shattering good things. Zhang Ru and he are one south and one north, turning the entire Ming officialdom upside down.
So much so that later generations wrote a sentence in a novel miscellaneous talk that refused to complete statistics, from the thirteenth year of Hongzhi to the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, the corrupt officials and their henchmen who were killed were far better than in the Taizu period.
The emperor is still the generous and benevolent emperor, and the courtiers have become the ministers in the mouths of the officials and the Qingtian lord in the mouths of the common people.
Time flies, several young people have grown up, and a few years have made these young people very old. Don't talk about ordinary officialdom, even some conspiracies and tricks, such as Meng Hai and others, can be dealt with calmly.
Among several people, Zhang Ru was most surprised not by Yang Tinghe, who had always been valued by him, and not by the eldest Meng Hai, but by Fan Tong's cheap uncle Zhou Wei.
After staying in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for half a year, Zhou Wei wrote a letter requesting to go to Huguang, two lakes and two Guangzhou, which is a big place, and ordinary people can't take it at all.
Originally, Zhang Ru didn't plan to hand over such an important task to Zhou Wei, he thought that the best way was to figure it out slowly, rather than cutting through the mess quickly.
After all, he has been in this place in Xinhua County, Huguang, and the people in that place are very strong, which is no different from the legendary saying that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people.
In the end, I couldn't help Zhou Qingzhi, the mother-in-law, to play the way of saving the country, and directly found Su Qiqi and Jiang Caiwei and said, Zhang Ru really had no choice, and after thinking about it again, he asked Li Dongyang to borrow a few proud protégés from the old man, which made it difficult for Zhou Wei to take on the heavy responsibility.
Zhou Wei also lived up to expectations, and as soon as he went to Huguang, he carried out drastic reforms, which not only enveloped the hearts of those Diao people, but even the hearts of those officials.
His nominal official position is just to inspect the imperial history, but whether it is a political envoy or a small official, when they see him, they must respectfully call Lord Zhou.
Of course, his achievements also made Zhu Youzhu learn about it, and he did not hesitate to give him the position of governor of Huguang, and he was in the limelight for a while.
The records of several other people are also quite good, Meng Hai is the best, and now he is the political envoy of Zhejiang Chengxuan from Sanpin to participate in politics, just a few years of hard work, it is not easy to get into this position.
After Wang Zhou played in Liaodong for a few years, he wrote back every year, but Zhang Ru didn't see the changes in Liaodong with his own eyes, and he didn't know if this kid was playing there for a while.
It wasn't until Liaodong opened the sea that there was news that the relevant merchants brought back to Liaodong.
Not to mention, although Wang Zhou is the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, he has a lot of participation in local affairs in Liaodong, and he is vigorously engaged there, which makes Tianjin, the second place that responds to the shipping industry, less important.
This also has something to do with the White Lotus Sect back then, although the people in Tianjin are their own people, they are not too capable.
Shipping has also appeared in Nansha, Guangdong, but compared with Fuzhou's shipping, Tianjin and Guangdong are still not grown up children.
Chen Guang officially stepped down from the position of the admiral of the Fuzhou Navy Division, and replaced a person named Mi Qingshan as the Admiral of the Water Division. Moreover, this person was recommended by Chen Guang and did not tell Zhang Ru.
At that time, Zhang Ru's attitude was intriguing, and instead of holding Chen Guang, who returned to the capital to greet him, he still pulled Chen Guang to have a long talk that night.
Many outsiders speculated that this person named Mi Qingshan should be Zhang Ru's person, but Chen Guang just said that Chen Guang could only take the Daming Sailor to the world, and Mi Qingshan could take the Daming Sailor to dominate the world.
Zhang Ru doesn't like to care about these things, it doesn't mean that he is not an ambitious person. Years of ups and downs in the sea have made him deeply aware of the importance of power.
Only with the corresponding power in your hands can you fight for the life you want.
Zhu Youzhang's body is getting worse, fortunately, an old Li Tou died, and there was one more Li Minghai, if it wasn't for Li Minghai, I was afraid that Zhu Youzhu would not be able to withstand this time.
Time flashed to September of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, it was the time of high autumn air, many scholars and talented women went out for autumn tours, and I don't know how many fairy couples have been fulfilled.
Zhang Ru and Zhu Youzhu walked side by side on the empty meadow, the grass under their feet had turned yellow, and from time to time they could see flocks of migratory birds preparing to fly south.
"Brother Tiger, all this, as you and I wish, has been achieved." Zhu Youzhang was quite complacent.
Zhang Ru pointed to the wasteland and said: "It's over for the time being, we have a long way to go, you see, there is no road here." ”
Zhu Youzhu said nonchalantly: "There must always be some space for future generations to go!" The road that the two of us have walked is already a road that many people can't finish in a lifetime, and there are only a few roads that people can walk in this life. ”
Zhang Ru said: "Your Majesty take care of your body, Wenxuan can still walk a few more ways for Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Youzhu shook his head: "No, I know my bones." If it hadn't been for Brother Li's medicine to hang my life all these years, maybe Lord Yan would have pulled me down a long time ago. In the future, you will still need to take care of the thick photos, and you can't leave it alone! ”
Zhang Ru shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, you know me, I've been tired for so long, you can't bear to watch me continue to work hard!" ”
Zhu Youzhu looked at some buildings in the capital that were almost as high as the palace, and said quietly: "The foundation we have laid is good enough, if he can't go well, he can't blame us." Take your liking! I've imprisoned you for so many years, and I can't still pull you when I'm dying. (To be continued.) )
