Chapter 249: Time flies
Without King Zhang's capital, it has become much calmer.
After Mu Bin took power, Jinyiwei closely followed the footsteps of Wang Shu, the secretary of the ministry, and conducted a Beijing inspection of officials in Beijing. Although a lot of silverfish were caught, not too many people were killed. Except for a few people who were really guilty of the most heinous crimes, they were sentenced to exile after being reported to Zhu Youjiao.
Wang Zhou was not suitable for working under Mu Bin, and asked to go to Xishan to protect Zhang Ru.
However, Jiang Wei has been very prosperous in Jinyiwei, and it has only been half a year, and this honest person recognized by Jinyiwei has become a five-grade calmer.
Zhang Fugui also rose with the tide, and the official position of a deputy thousand households fell steadily on his head.
After Fan Tong and Wang Zhou were transferred back to Beijing, they looked a little tepid. He will do what Mu Bin tells him to do, and he will try his best to get things done. But from beginning to end, this man from the rivers and lakes maintained a lukewarm attitude towards Mu Bin.
Rao is nominally the commander of the same acquaintance, and Mu Bin has put down his body many times to express his closeness to him, but he also ignores it.
After a few times, Mu Bin didn't bother to look like a corporal of Lixian, so he simply didn't care how Fan Tong tossed. However, it is obvious that as Mu Bin's attitude towards him changes, there are fewer and fewer things that fall into the hands of Fan Tong.
Once because of Zhang Ru's presence, one by one became the first batch of people in Dongsifang, who were willing to get close to Mu Bin, they were promoted, and those who were not willing to get close to Mu Bin were beaten to the dust.
Wang Zhou had raised this issue to Zhang Ru many times, but the commander of the Jinyi Guard seemed to have become a stubborn master of the drunken and gentle township, and he didn't listen to Wang Zhou's words at all.
He was so quietly by her side, cooking, cooking, and carrying water by himself.
Every day, Su Qiqi will be called out of the room after the meal is served, and then take Su Qiqi to walk in the forest after dinner, watching the squirrels jump up and down on the trees, and listening to unknown birds playing unknown songs.
Collecting morning dew to make tea for her seems to have become Zhang Ru's favorite thing to do every day.
Of course, it is also very enjoyable to hold her to climb to the top of the mountain and the waterfall, and sit by the waterfall and watch the starry sky.
Su Qiqi's body has not changed much in the past six months, but she likes to sleep more and more, she used to only need to sleep for three hours a day, but now she has to sleep for four hours.
Zhang Ru knew this subtle change, and this was because Su Qiqi's physical condition was getting worse. The time that Old Man Li said may come tomorrow, or perhaps, it will take decades of hard work.
On this day, the weather was cool, and the trees in the West Hill had completely stripped off their yellow coats, leaving only bare trunks. A few birds flew over the trees, standing on the bare branches and chirping to tell the helplessness of late autumn.
A complex sound of horses' hooves sounded in the West Mountain, where only birds and flowers were fragrant, from far and near.
Zhang Ru's face changed slightly, and he whispered to Su Qiqi, who was sitting next to the water pavilion watching the koi: "Qiqi, you stay for a while, and I'll be back in a while." ”
Su Qiqi looked at Zhang Ru with a soft gaze, and then smiled slightly: "Go ahead!" Come back early, don't scold Wang Zhou, he is also good for you. ”
Zhang Ru showed a wry smile, his toes were a little on the ground, and he quickly disappeared near the small courtyard.
It wasn't until Zhang Ru's figure could no longer be found as far as his eyes could be seen that Su Qiqi looked at the koi in the pool: "Alas, you say, I should have died a long time ago." Dragging him so half-dead, will he become a sinner for the ages? ”
The sound of horses' hooves was not only heard by Zhang Ru, but also by Su Qiqi. Although she was too weak to fight, she would be exhausted and out of breath even if she walked a little longer. But she used to be a heroine with martial arts on par with Zhang Ru, and she didn't show many things, which doesn't mean she doesn't know.
Just like although she has only seen Wang Zhou talk to Zhang Ru about the situation in the capital once, in fact, she knows that Wang Zhou will invite Zhang Ru to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation almost every ten days and half a month.
The persistence of her own man moved her, and at the same time made her blame herself.
She suddenly hated the senior brother who had cared for her since she was a child, and hated that person's little belly. If it weren't for him, maybe he would be able to stay with his beloved for a lifetime.
Zhang Ru arrived at the mountainside after a few verticals, and a large group of people and horses on the front were violent, and at the front were the wrestlers and captains of the Jinyi Guard, and the left and right were all masters of the forbidden army.
Seeing this battle, Zhang Ru breathed a sigh of relief, he was able to make such a big move, except for the Ming Dynasty when he was the son of heaven, and the whole world could not find a second one.
The sharp-eyed Zhu Youzhu was looking around at the surrounding scenery, and without the cover of leaves, Zhang Ru's figure was naturally easily exposed to his gaze.
The emperor didn't care about his weak body or the carriage he was walking, and he actually made a move that made Zhang Ru tremble.
He jumped out of the moving carriage in one fell swoop.
One stumbled, and was immediately grabbed by the arm of the Jinyi Guard Captain on horseback, and at the same time, another wrestler slapped the horse's neck with a very cooperative palm.
The retired war horse fell to the ground with a bang, and Zhu Youzhu was intact.
"How did you know I was coming, and you ran out to greet me personally." Zhu Youzhu was so happy that he jumped three feet high, and rushed towards Zhang Ru.
Zhang Yaoyao, who was sitting in the carriage, shook her head and smiled bitterly, her husband has always maintained the demeanor of a gentleman in the deep palace, but in private he is a very out-of-the-box character. In the whole world, I am afraid that except for the young man standing under the poplar tree not far away, no one can let her husband do such an act of disregard for his identity.
A bear hug, two of the most powerful men in the Ming Dynasty are separated at the touch of a button.
"Your Majesty is too risky, if it weren't for someone around, Your Majesty would be in danger." Zhang Ru patted the dust on the tree that Zhu Youzhu had rubbed on the tree because he jumped out of the carriage with limited complaint.
Zhu Youzhu said disappreciatively: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not a child, so it's not so easy to fall." Are you still used to living in the mountains? The capital has been making a lot of noise lately, and I don't even bother to talk to those people, so I just come to Xishan to see you. ”
Zhang Ru smiled bitterly and said: "If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that His Majesty secretly left the palace, maybe tomorrow there would be an official who killed Mingzhi at the foot of the West Mountain." ”
Zhu Youzhu said nonchalantly: "They know that they are forcing me, and they never think about problems from my standpoint." It's not easy to die these years, why do they have to choose a concubine! I think it's enough to have a daughter-in-law like you, so why bother to find so many people to intrigue in the palace. ”
Zhang Ru pulled Zhu Youzhu and said as he walked: "Those ministers are also hardworking, and they have been married to His Royal Highness for nearly a year, and there is no movement in their stomachs. The queen mother of the two palaces is anxious, and the ministers of the court and the central government will naturally be anxious. ”
Zhu Youzhu muttered: "Didn't you say that I am still young now, and it is not appropriate to have sex too often!" Besides, she is delicate, and I don't want her to have a child so early. ”
Zhang Ru was stunned, the reason why His Majesty the Emperor of Affection hadn't let the queen get pregnant for a year was because of some measures!
Of course, this can't be asked, even if he has a good relationship with Zhu Youjiao, it's not easy to ask about these things between the beds.
Unconsciously, he walked near the clearing, and Zhu Youzhu saw that there was still a flower garden in the late autumn, and couldn't help but wonder: "You will still enjoy life!" It's amazing that there is such a scenery in the middle of this deep mountain and wild forest! ”
Zhang Ru said lightly: "It's okay!" You also know that Qiqi's body is deteriorating, and I can't help it. ”
After half a year of companionship, Zhang Ru saw a lot of the day when he would come back sooner or later.
Zhu Youzhu nodded thoughtfully: "I want to take my wife to stay with you for a few more days, so that those old ministers don't have to make noise in their ears every day." Keep your men's mouths tight, and don't give away my whereabouts. ”
Zhang Ru said helplessly: "I don't know if it is the minister's luck or misfortune to be such an emperor as you." You can handle so many national affairs, why are you so stubborn when it comes to choosing a concubine! ”
Zhu Youzhu rolled his eyes: "Okay, you can ask yourself!" I decreed that you should take a concubine, do you accept it or not? If you don't accept you, you will be disrespectful, and you will definitely feel uncomfortable in your own heart if you take a concubine. If you have someone in your heart, you can't fit the second one. ”
Zhang Ru shook his head and retorted: "This world is yours, not mine, I have someone in my heart who can't fit the second one, it's normal, because I'm just an ordinary man." You are different, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you can even fit the world, let alone a woman? ”
Zhu Youzhu saw Su Qiqi's figure, and quickly ran towards the other party, saying as he ran: "I'm too lazy to listen, if you make any more noise, I'll leave with my wife." ”
In this regard, Zhang Ru could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Su Qiqi said a blessing to Zhu Youqi, and Zhu Youqi was so frightened that he didn't support him, but fortunately Zhang Ru hugged Su Qiqi in time, otherwise the emperor wouldn't know what jaw-dropping things he would do.
Originally, he thought that Su Qiqi was his, but after marrying Zhang Yaoyao, coupled with Zhang Ru's relationship, Zhu Youzhu thought a lot. It wasn't until half a year ago when Su Qiqi was in a coma that he went to the Dingbian Hou Mansion and saw Zhang Ru's description of the withered appearance, that he really figured out that only Zhang Qiaoyao was his.
After that time, he completely let go.
So now when facing Su Qiqi, Zhu Youzhu does not have any embarrassment.
The reason why he was at a loss because of Su Qiqi's blessings was entirely because Su Qiqi was his sister-in-law in his heart, and it was a big problem for men and women, so he didn't dare to support him.
Not long after, Zhang Yaoyao also came over, and she grabbed Su Qiqi's hand and asked for warmth. Su Qiqi was also very happy, and the two of them muttered non-stop.
Zhang Ru glanced at the two women who were chatting hotly, and glanced at Zhu Youjiao: "Let's go, I'll take you to find something good to eat." ”
Zhu Youzhang's somewhat obese body followed Zhang Ru through the mountains and forests, and after a while, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty carried two fat rabbits on his shoulders and returned to the Xishan Courtyard with a menacing attitude.
