The water in the capital was muddied because of Zhang Wenxuan's re-entry into Beijing, and everyone in the hundred officials was in danger, and many people began to prepare gifts to visit the young marquis who might regain the grace of the saint in Nanlu Manor.

Unlike the previous arrivals, this time the Hou Ye chose to live in seclusion, and for four or five consecutive days, the five-zhang-wide road outside the Nanlu Manor was blocked, and he was stunned that he did not meet anyone except Yang Tinghe's family.

For three consecutive days, there was no movement on the side of Nanlu Manor.

On the fourth day, Zhang Ru and the tea boy got together to taste tea, and halfway through the tea, a soaring cloud rode in to report that Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, asked to see him.

Zhang Ru waved his hand and said, "No." ”

Qingcha Gongzi did not shy away from Biaoyun Qi, who had not yet left, and asked: "I don't even see the book of the military department, you have done a little too much in this play." ”

After a few days of getting along, the two abandoned their previous suspicions and were like old friends for many years.

Zhang Ru said lightly: "When I was in trouble, although Ma Wensheng did not fall into the ground, he also remained silent. There are not many people in the court who can speak for me, and Master Ma is not a person who can speak for me. But with Ma Xuan, he can barely count half.

I didn't see him, not because I had any resentment against him in my heart, anyway, the court said so much that I was not good, and it was not a matter if he didn't speak.

I just want to tell Master Ma that it was because of Ma Xuan that I pretended to him, not because of the hat on his head. ”

"It seems that you cultivated Ma Xuan from the beginning because he was the secretary of the military department of the court." Qingcha Gongzi's tone was not sarcastic, with a little puzzlement.

Zhang Ru explained: "At first, I didn't know that Ma Zhang's father was Ma Wensheng, and at that time, Ma Wensheng was not a secretary of the military department, just a border general. Yes, I later focused on cultivating Ma Xuan, and there is indeed a reason for Ma Wensheng. This is also Ma Zhang's own efforts, otherwise even if his father is the first assistant of the court, he will not be able to go to the wall with a mess of mud. ”

"Hahahaha" Qingcha Gongzi smiled: "During this time, I realized that it is much more interesting to be friends with you than to be enemies." ”

Zhang Ru smiled and said: "It's not too late for you to find out now, if you find out again when you don't die, it's already too late." ”

The tea boy raised the teacup and drank it all: "Okay, just for your words, let's be a big white." I have quit drinking for many years, and today I replace it with tea. ”

Zhang Ru laughed and said: "You are so cruel, the tea boy drank the tea and drank himself." ”

Qingcha Gongzi scolded with a smile: ", who can compare to your cruelty." Riding into Beijing with three thousand soaring clouds, I said why no one intercepted me along the way, it turned out that you were holding the royal flag in your hand.

You and the current saint played this game of chess, it was really big enough, everyone was hidden by you, if it wasn't for Li Gongmian's misconduct this time, the ghost knows when you would launch an offensive. ”

Zhang Ru smacked his lips and found that the tea seemed to be a little bitter.

It was not that there was a problem with the tea carefully prepared by the tea boy, but that his state of mind had changed at this moment.

Speaking of concealing the people of the world, he suddenly remembered a person, a person who entrusted all the family to himself before his death, and he and the emperor were the only people who did not hide it.

This person's name is Qiu Jun, and in Zhang Ru's opinion, he is the only person in the Ming Hongzhi Dynasty other than Li Dongyang who can see through the phenomenon and go straight to the essence.

Qingcha Gongzi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Zhang Ru: "What do you think!" ”

Zhang Ru came back to his senses and showed an apologetic smile: "No, it's nothing, I just thought of one person." ”

Seeing that Zhang Ru seemed a little unhappy, Qingcha Gongzi immediately changed the topic: "Not everyone came out this time, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Ru said: "What else can I do, you can't let me watch my brother being killed by Li Minna." Anyway, the big shots who should come out have already come out, or Jinyiwei will be arrested one by one in a few days. Those little trash fish, let them live! ”

Qingcha Gongzi said: "This is not like your style. ”

Zhang Ru smiled bitterly: "In such a big country, I can't become politically clear because I am a marquis." Besides, a dead old man said that the country needs sharp-edged generals and upright civil officials, but what is more needed is officials who have some ability to do things for the people. ”

The words were said by the old master Qiu Jun, and there are really few scholars in the Ming Dynasty who really make Zhang Ru respect. The dead Cui Gong is counted as one, the dead Qiu Jun is counted as one, and the living Li Dongyang can only be counted as half. Perhaps, after Li Dongyang dies, he will also become a person respected by Zhang Ru.

The conversation and mood were a little wrong, and the tea boy changed the topic again: "When will it be time to do it?" ”

Zhang Ru raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?" Is there one of your people among the people who were caught? ”

Qingcha Gongzi said: "I'm now, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, there is no one in this court, my people are all His Majesty's people." The more you mess with them, the happier I become. Anyway, I don't want to get involved in these messy things now, and it's too late for me to be happy if you come to get involved. ”

Zhang Ru said: "I was born to work hard, and in this life, I have been a wise man like Your Majesty, and I have no choice, so I will work hard and complain!" If there is an afterlife, you have to stand a faint gentleman, eat fragrant and drink spicy, and push down when you see a beautiful woman, you have nothing to do, as long as you pat yourself well. ”

Qingcha Gongzi laughed: "That will drop your head quickly." ”

Zhang Ru followed with a smile: "It's okay to lose your head, anyway, you can enjoy everything you should enjoy, what are you afraid of when you lose your head." ”

"I still think you are so meaningful now, at least, you can make a name for yourself." Qingcha Gongzi said seriously.

Zhang Ru also said seriously: "Not everyone can be famous in history, and not everyone is willing to leave a name in history." When everything is almost on track, I have to find a place with a better scenery and take my brothers to live and work in peace. ”

Qingcha Gongzi teased: "I can't see it, you still have such leisure and leisure!" ”

Zhang Ru pursed his lips disdainfully: "There are still many things that you can't see, just what you can see with your little eyes." ”

Qingcha Gongzi said: "I can see that your kid is now soft-spoken, but in fact he is murderous. ”

Zhang Ru squinted, trying to see something from the face of the tea boy, but after a while, he found that he couldn't see anything, so he had to give up.

Qingcha Gongzi immediately understood, and explained in one more move: "I know you have always doubted my motives, but you don't have to worry, let's deal with it slowly, sooner or later you will be able to understand." ”

Zhang Ru smiled: "Do it tomorrow." ”
