Chapter 51: The Emperor's Intrigue 2

"Oh, who is so reckless, don't have long eyes!" The time was still in the afternoon, and the winter day in Shuntianfu, Beiping was already a little cold, and the person who was hit shivered after sticking his hand to the ground, and stood up very quickly and blurted out and scolded.

Zhang Ru didn't speak, and Fan Tong was already unhappy: "You eunuch, dare to talk to my family like this, look for death!" ”

The person who was hit looked at it and found that the one standing in front of him was a nine-sided patrol general with a gloomy face, and the other was a strong man he didn't know. The arrogant arrogance was immediately forcibly suppressed, and he sneered: "It turned out to be Lord Zhang, the villain is in trouble, please don't be surprised." ”

Zhang Ru waved his hand casually, as if he wanted to spill out the boredom in his heart, and suddenly saw that the person in front of him was a little familiar, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you?" Where do we seem to have met? ”

The one who was hit was a little eunuch in Tsing Yi, and when he saw Zhang Ru taking the initiative to talk to him, he hurriedly smiled and said: "The adults and nobles forget things, the little Li Guang is the person next to Liang's father-in-law, and the little one was ordered to go to Xishan to find you." ”

After searching in his mind, it seemed that there was such a person, he grabbed Li Guang and asked, "I have a few questions for you, and I must answer them truthfully." ”

The sudden serious expression frightened Li Guang a lot, and he nodded hurriedly: "If the adult has anything to say, the little one knows everything." ”

"Wantong's servants surrounded Yuqing Palace, did Your Majesty know about it in advance? Is all this secretly controlled by His Majesty? Do you know why Your Majesty did this? Three questions were thrown in a row, Zhang Ru nervously waited for Li Guang to answer, but his hand was tightly grasping the other party, for fear that the other party would run away.

How dare Li Guang answer this kind of question, and said with a bitter face: "Don't embarrass the villain, my lord, now that the dust has settled, just pretend that you don't know anything." ”

Listening to the meaning of his words, he knew the hidden truth, Zhang Ru refused to let go like grasping a life-saving straw: "The law does not pass on to Liu'er, now you and I are here, don't worry, I won't leak it out." ”

Li Guang was still crying and mourning, saying that he didn't know anything, but his eyes glanced at Fan Tong from time to time.

Zhang Ru understood and said to Fan Tong: "You go around and see if there is anyone else, after all, there are many people in the palace, and it is not good for people to hear it." ”

Fan Tong is a big boss, and after becoming a member of the Jinyi Guard, Master Fan Wuyi said that he would obey Zhang Ruyan. How did he know that Zhang Ru was going to break up with himself, and immediately obediently rushed around.

After making sure that Fan Tong was far away, Zhang Ru let go of Li Guang's arm: "Now you can say it." ”

Knowing that he couldn't escape today, Li Guang cautiously looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty seems to have reached an agreement with the Wan family, this incident is actually a test for adults, as for what Your Majesty's intentions are, the servants don't know." My lord, I'll tell you everything I know, but you can't pass it on! ”

This kind of secret can only be known by the people around the emperor, and the reason why Li Guang knows it is because he supported Liang Fang's clothes. The eunuchs in the inner palace like to recognize their godfathers, firstly, so that they can mix well in the inner palace, and secondly, those big eunuchs also need some henchmen to do things for themselves.

If Zhang Ru bumped into someone else today, then even if he beat the other party to death, he wouldn't be able to ask why, but fortunately, he met Li Guang, so that he had a countermeasure in advance.

Let go of Li Guang, Zhang Ru stood in place and thought.

The emperor did this, obviously not worrying about himself, with the relationship between the prince and himself, he was afraid that the emperor was afraid that he would get too much power from the crown prince after he ascended the throne in the future. Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the past dynasties, when a person holds too much power in his hands, it is inevitable that there will be dissenting intentions. Even if a person with no dissent like Huo Guang is too arrogant because of his authority, he ends up in a miserable end.

The emperor wants to test his loyalty to the imperial family, so he makes a good show. And the reason why Wantong is willing to sacrifice the Jinyi Wei that he has won over with great difficulty is just to seek a better end for his family after the emperor is a hundred years later.

Obviously, Wantong, who was used as a robbery, also realized that they had done too much nonsense in the past and had offended too many people.

Before he could fully think of a countermeasure, Fan Tong had already returned, standing behind him and bowing his head slightly: "My lord, there is no one around." ”

Zhang Ru nodded: "Let's go, follow me back to the East Division." ”

Fan Tong inherited Jiang Wei's meticulousness very well, although his comprehension ability was not as good as Jiang Wei in many aspects, but it was barely usable.

After the two returned to the East Division's room, Mu Bin had been waiting for a long time, seeing that the adults were back to normal, Mu Bin was very happy, and pulled Zhang Ru to prepare for a detailed discussion, but Zhang Ru rejected his proposal: "Wait for me to come back and talk, how is the matter handled over there?" ”

Mu Bin automatically ignored the latter sentence and asked, "My lord, but you want to go to the East Palace to visit the prince?" The prince is fine, maybe he is too tired during this time, and after the imperial doctor calls for His Royal Highness, the prince rests. ”

Zhang Ru shook his head: "It's not the prince's business. ”

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Mu Bin didn't want to ask too much, so he had to let Fan Tong guard Zhang Ru, and then go to work on other things in the East Sifang by himself.

This matter is not widely involved, but there are many people who have been taken down by Dong Sifang, there are hundreds of people under Wantong alone, and the brothers are too depressed some time ago, and they are all beaten to death. So that those people are basically injured, and if they want to be interrogated, they have to wait for those people's injuries to stabilize a little.

Zhang Ru sat in the duty room of the East Division Room and waited for a stick of incense time, Liang Fang came, holding a bright yellow holy decree in his hand, and after seeing Zhang Ru, he began to read without waiting for him to kneel: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, Zhang Ru, the general of the nine-sided inspection, did not get the holy order, rashly entered Beijing, the responsibility is not small, and immediately entered the palace to plead, Qin this!" ”

The short holy decree contains a lot of meanings, and the official holy decree has not yet made people enter the palace to plead their defense, but Emperor Chenghua obviously didn't want to hurt Zhang Ru's heart too much, and used the official holy decree instead of the oral decree, in order to express the emperor's anger. And letting Zhang Ru immediately enter the palace to defend himself is to give him a chance to reform himself.

It's a pity that our Lord Zhang Ruzhang, who came to Daming from the 21st century inexplicably, does not feel that he has done something wrong, but he is holding a breath in his heart, a resentment towards the emperor.

Like a complaining little daughter-in-law, he needs a place to vent his anger, but this object obviously cannot be the emperor.

Don't look at Zhu Jianshen, he treats him well, many times he endures nonsense for the emperor, but that's because the prince is in the middle. Now that the crown prince is still resting, he has been away from the capital for a while, and if he collides with the emperor, he may be taken off by the moody emperor.

Liang Fang knew this, and was afraid that Zhang Ru would have a bad heart, so he immediately said after handing over the holy decree to him: "General, don't worry, Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood." ”

Zhang Ru snorted coldly: "He's in a good mood, but pity us people, we are all played like bitches." ”

Liang Fang reached out to cover Zhang Ru's mouth, but was slapped open by Zhang Ru, and he was embarrassed and whispered: "General be cautious!" Your Majesty also has a last resort, wait until you go to the palace, but don't bump into Your Majesty. ”

The emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and now the chamberlains and palace maids around him don't know how much stubble he has changed. Except for an old man like Liang Fang, who can serve carefully, ordinary people dare not serve the emperor.

finally repaired the relationship with Zhang Ru, Liang Fang didn't want his future backer to be knocked into the dust because he had just collided with the dying emperor.

Zhang Ru also knew that he was kind, but the resentment in his heart was still not eliminated, so he still didn't have a good face: "The big deal is a death, and it's a hundred dead." ”

"The general can die, can't he think about His Royal Highness the Prince?" Sensing that Zhang Ru seemed to be deliberately venting his anger, the little anger that rose in Liang Fang's heart immediately disappeared without a trace, and began to reason with Zhang Ru.

Zhang Ru roared: "It's not for Your Highness, I will come all the way back from Liaodong?" Isn't it for Your Highness, that my poor brethren will die in the wilderness because of the cold weather? It's not for His Royal Highness, Lao Tzu will rush into the palace without saying a word? ”

He is really a little unwilling, in his previous life it was a peaceful society, there is not so much injustice now, although he has lived in Daming for so many years, he still can't accept some things in his bones.

Being toyed with in the palm of your hand and still having fire can't be fired, this feeling is too embarrassing.

"Okay, my Lord Zhang, let's enter the palace as soon as possible, don't let Your Majesty wait." After a while, after Zhang Ru's breath stabilized a little, Liang Fang said carefully.

He can't afford to offend this master, but he can't afford to offend the uncle in the palace. For the sake of that uncle, he had no choice but to grieve the young man in front of him.

After venting, Zhang Ru was in a much better mood, and followed Liang Fang into the palace with a cold face.

After seeing the emperor, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and all the resentment in his heart disappeared without a trace.

In just ten months, the emperor had become almost unrecognizable, his hair was now completely white, and his face, which used to look fat and round, was now so thin that he could see his cheekbones. The deep furrows on his forehead and the drooping bags under his eyes tell those around him that the emperor is aging rapidly.

"Master, the man is coming." Liang Fang walked lightly to Zhu Jianshen's side, bent down and whispered in his ear.

Zhu Jianshen opened his eyes tiredly: "Hmm, Huzi is here." ”

With the help of Liang Fang, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty finally straightened his waist and looked up and down for a while before saying, "Well, it's tall, it's dark, it's thin." ”

The three evaluations made Zhang Ru completely put the resentment in his heart behind, and tears dripped down unconsciously. He walked to Zhu Jianshen's side with a crying voice, took the emperor's somewhat dry hand, and his voice was choked: "Your Majesty, why did you become like this!" ”
