It's always easier to put the icing on the cake than to give charcoal in the snow, but it's three points easier to get down to the ground than the icing on the cake.

The next day, Zhu Hui, who entered the palace with a sign wearing the palace, came straight to the point after successfully meeting Qin Ji: "Father-in-law Qin, I really have no choice." Now there is no third person who can speak in front of His Majesty except you and Dingbianhou. You're going to have to do me a favor this time no matter what! ”

Qin Ji, who took time out of his busy schedule to meet the guests, didn't raise his eyelids: "Everything is handled by Governor Zhang's Jinyiwei, and the little prince is really tormenting our family." But our family can't help it, these things are Jinyiwei's business, even if it's our family's East Factory, we can't interfere. ”

Zhu Hui pretended to be indignant: "That Zhang Ru thinks that he is great if he has a title, he doesn't eat soft and hard, and if he doesn't speak in front of His Majesty, no one will be able to persuade His Majesty to let him go." He was able to get the knighthood thanks to us, but the white-eyed wolf recognized him after eating it and wiping it off. ”

These words made Zhu Hui very resentful, he was like an abandoned little daughter-in-law, his face was full of grievances.

Over there, Qin Ji was not happy when he heard this, what does it mean that now except for you, Zhang Ru, who is used to speaking in front of His Majesty, others are useless? We're not dead yet!

After successfully provoking Qin Ji's dissatisfaction, Zhu Hui added fuel and vinegar: "Father-in-law, don't you know, now there is no one else in Zhang Ru's eyes except His Majesty. Don't talk about me, a so-called small countryman, even my father doesn't pay attention to him. As long as the father-in-law can help with things, the Baoguo Mansion must remember the kindness of the father-in-law. ”

Qin Ji suppressed his anger and said: "Xiao Guogong, please go back first, our family has written down this matter, and go back and talk to Your Majesty." Our family can't do it yet, a small official head can't even let go. ”

Zhu Hui snickered in his heart, on the surface he was serious: "There is a father-in-law, a small meaning, not a respect." ”

A thick stack of Daming treasure banknotes caught traces and stuffed into Qin Ji's wide robe sleeves, if it was usual, Qin Ji would definitely avoid it, but today, he ghostly grabbed the stack of treasure money with his old hand.

After pinching the thickness, Qin Ji said quietly: "Xiao Guogong, go back and wait for news, Your Majesty has no shortage of old slaves, our family will leave first." ”

Zhu Hui nodded: "Father-in-law, you are busy." ”

When he left the palace, Zhu Hui looked relaxed and kept nodding and greeting the people he met along the way. If it weren't for the wrong place, he would have laughed out loud.

At this time, Zhang Ru didn't know that there had been a deal between Zhu Hui and Qin Ji, and he was about to enter the palace to meet him just after eating the breakfast that Su Qiqi had made.

Zhu Hui's matter is not a big deal, but he still cares about it, as for whether to let go of those two people, that is a matter for the future. At least he still has to do his superficial work today, even if he enters the palace just to blow water and fart with Zhu Youjiao, it is better than staying at home all the time.

During the meal, he kept thinking about how to tell Zhu Youjiao, and Su Qiqi felt a little distressed when she looked worried, she stretched out her hand and gently kneaded her temples for Zhang Ru: "Xianggong, it's really not good, let that person go!" ”

Zhang Ru grabbed Su Qiqi's hand, pulled it a little harder, and Su Qiqi came to his arms, without saying a word, Zhang Ru directly covered Su Qiqi's Yin Tao small mouth with a big mouth, and his tongue restlessly pried open the shell teeth, turning the clove small tongue upside down.

After a long time, his lips parted, Su Qiqiqiao's face was slightly red, and Zhang Ru smiled at this time: "Don't worry, what Baoguo Gong wants is just the attitude of your father-in-law." ”

Regardless of Su Qiqi, who was flushed, Zhang Ru left the house after imprinting a kiss on her forehead again.

Holding the sign of wearing the palace into the palace, Zhu Youzhu rarely had Yaxing practicing calligraphy, and when he saw Zhang Ru coming in, he said happily: "Wenxuan is here, sit down." ”

A look of jealousy flashed in Qin Ji's eyes, he was already a handful of years, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't have so many gains and losses. It may be that he was too aggrieved when he was in the East Palace, but now his endurance is far less than when he was in the East Palace.

Silently, the little eunuch moved the seat, and Qin Ji returned to Zhu Youzhu with an expressionless face.

After putting the brush down, Zhu Youzhu walked to the chair beside Zhang Ru with a smile and sat down: "Why do you have time to enter the palace today to see me?" ”

Zhang Ru said: "The minister has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, about the criminal department and the officials, etc., now the minister does not know how to deal with it, please Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "According to their usual sentencing, there should be a lot of talents in this area. However, the matter involves the head of the criminal department itself, and the sentencing of the people of the criminal department, you had better not listen to the opinions of the criminal department. Try not to commit murder! Since I ascended the throne, enough people have died. ”

Zhang Ru slapped his ass painlessly: "Your Majesty is benevolent and doesn't want to kill, but some people really deserve to die." Leaving these people as a scourge, that is, the silverfish of the Ming Dynasty, sooner or later one day will cause a disaster. ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "Wen Xuan, just turn around and scold me!" You can do what you think you want, and you don't have to ask me what I mean. ”

If another person hears the emperor say this, he will definitely kneel on the ground in fear and ask for guilt, but Zhang Ru has no such awareness, and he doesn't think the emperor's words mean anything else.

The emperor gave the pole, and Zhang Ru immediately climbed up: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Seeing that the emperor sold the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs with one sentence, Qin Ji was anxious: "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Zhu Youzhu said indifferently: "Wife, don't worry about it, Wenxuan is still at ease." ”

Qin Ji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Manchu Dynasty is uneven in civil and military affairs, if you let Jinyiwei toss casually, I am afraid that it will cause public resentment." When the time comes, it will hurt the Ming Dynasty, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Zhu Youzhu frowned and said, "This."

Zhang Ru took the first step and said: "Father-in-law Qin's statement has opened Zhang's eyes, what I want to move are officials, those redundant officials who do not act, and those corrupt officials who violate the law and discipline." It's too late for the people to celebrate each other, how can the people's resentment boil? The country of the Ming Dynasty has never been an official, let alone a noble. Hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty are the real foundation of the country. ”

Zhu Youzhu praised: "Wen Xuan's words are very true, wife, don't worry about the sky." ”

Qin Ji said that the old slave was too worried, and then stared at Zhang Ru with a pair of fish bubble eyes, eager to eat the Dingbian Hou of this young man's ambition alive.

Zhang Ru turned a blind eye and talked and laughed with Zhu Youzhang.

Unconsciously, Zhang Ru talked about Zhu Yong, the prince of Baoguo, and the meaning in and out of his words was that Zhu Yong asked Zhu Hui to find him.

The deliberately embarrassed look made Zhu Youzhu very displeased: "Wenxuan, after I ascended the throne, you have changed a lot!" ”

Zhang Ru pretended to be very frightened: "I don't know what has changed, please show your majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhu said loudly: "What I want, you know better than anyone else. Some people say that you are a roundworm in my belly, others say that you are a traitor and villain around me, and some people say that you are my shadow. I can ignore these things, even if none of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty help you Zhang Wenxuan speak, even if the people in the world don't have a good face for you, as long as you don't do anything like rebellion, I will protect you.

But I don't want to be the only one who knows my thoughts, and become like the noble officials of those forces, who only know how to slap horses and only know selfishness.

What I said, do you understand? ”

In my impression, this seemed to be the only time Zhu Youzhu spoke to him as the emperor, and unconsciously, Zhang Ru straightened his spine.

After nodding vigorously, Zhang Ru's eyes were fearless: "Minister, I have always been His Majesty's lonely minister." ”

Zhu Youjiao's face softened slightly: "What I want is balance, you can reveal this meaning." The appointment and dismissal of officials above the court is not up to any noble, nor is it up to any cabinet minister, but only when I say it. If some people don't know what to do, I won't give a good face. ”

Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not fail in his mission." ”

Zhu Youzhu also smiled: "You do things, I can still rest assured." ”

Qin Ji's heart was so tired that he couldn't help but jump out again and said: "Your Majesty, it's not a matter if it goes on like this, you can't send Jinyi Wei to do things as soon as there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials!" ”

Zhu Youzhu muttered: "My wife's words are very reasonable, what good ideas does Wen Xuan have?" ”

Zhang Ru shook his head and said: "The minister is stupid, there are no good ideas, but the ancestor left a good idea for His Majesty, but he needs to be flexible a little." ”

Zhu Youqi said: "Oh? You mean Kyocha? ”

Zhang Ru nodded: "It's Jingcha, why does Baoguo Gong want to keep the head of the Ministry of Officials, the purpose is just to keep more officials on his own side when Jingcha changes the Yuan in the coming year." ”

"You said to be flexible, but what kind of workaround?" Zhu Youzhu asked.

Zhang Ru analyzed: "Jingcha determines the stay of officials through four grids and eight methods, but ten years is too long. Regardless of whether the prefect of one party has made political achievements during his tenure, they have made enough money after ten years. Some are ruthless, and after the term of office, more than half of the people under their rule have been lost. This is not good for Daming. The minister's so-called flexibility is nothing more than shortening the period of Jingcha. ”

"Isn't this an opportunity for those officials to take bribes?" Zhu Youzhu said with some dissatisfaction.

He knows better than anyone what his father's courtiers are.

Zhang Ru smiled mysteriously: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, if Jinyiwei is in the hands of others, the minister dare not guarantee it, but Jinyiwei is in the hands of the minister, and the minister dares to guarantee that the Beijing officials are corrupt, and the minister will not tolerate it." ”

Zhu Youzhu frowned: "Those who can be dismissed are not exiled, those who can be exiled are not killed, and those who can be killed are not killed." Killing, not good. ”

The knife was given by Zhu Youjiao, but there are many restrictions on those who use the knife. Zhu Youzhu didn't want Jinyiwei to become an institution that everyone shouted at, and he had a deep understanding of Emperor Xianzong's West Factory back then.

Zhu Youzhang also knows very well how murderous his brother is, so he said this.

Zhang Ru arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Instinctively, Qin Ji felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't until Zhang Ru left that he suddenly realized that the two people that Zhu Hui let him keep still couldn't be saved.
