Chapter 544: Attracting the Snake 2
The literati cherish their reputation the most, and Wang Shu is a typical representative.
What is Jinyiwei?
It's a place where even if you're as incorruptible as water, it can muddy you. A place where the living go in and the living dead come out.
Of course, Wang Shu also knew that Zhang Ru would not be able to let him become the latter, but going to Zhao Prison would be equivalent to pouring sewage on himself, such a thing, and he would not do it.
Li Dongyang didn't get angry, and frowned and looked at Zhang Ru: "What does this mean?" β
Zhang Ru pulled Wang Shu's sleeve and said with a sneer: "Hehe, don't get angry, don't get angry, don't get angry!" My idea is that by taking advantage of your two reputations, the Chinese military officials will definitely attack me at that time. When the time is ripe, the people behind Liu Ji will feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.
When that time comes, he will also mobilize his men to attack me.
As long as the two adults find out your own people, the rest of the people will be handed over to the juniors to deal with. Maybe when the swarm of insects is leaderless, the people behind the scenes will not be able to hold back their loneliness and jump out to have a good time. β
Wang Shu was still angry, and said angrily: "If you want to play, you can find someone else, why do you need the old man to lose his name." β
Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Don't be angry, the younger generation will naturally not let you do anything that destroys your reputation." You can rest assured, as long as the time is over, the juniors will naturally have a way to persuade His Majesty to restore the innocence of the boss. In this way, I am afraid that not only will not the boss be disgraced, but will also make the boss more prestigious in the DPRK and among the people. β
Wang Shu was still angry: "Listen to what you mean, if you don't catch the person behind Liu Ji, you still have to let me carry this black cauldron?" β
Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will never be." β
Wang Shu's anger calmed down a little, and he said suspiciously: "I said, why did you kid get on the bar with me?" Many people in the DPRK and China are upright officials, and there are even more people with high prestige. Liu Jian and Xie Qian have a lot of protΓ©gΓ©s, you chose me, do you think I'm a bully. β
Zhang Ru said with a smile: "That's not the case, you are old in my heart, it is as high as Mount Tai, how dare the younger generation, with small arms and legs, bully you old." It's just that Wang Zhou is my brother, and you are an elder, so this benefit can't be given to outsiders. β
"I understand now, why Old Master Qiu used to say that this son was as cunning as a fox. A simple little thing, he can think so thoroughly, if this son is in the pavilion, I and a few others, I'm afraid I won't even have a foothold. Li Dongyang said with emotion.
The reason why he was moved by the emperor after he was determined to get rid of Zhang Ru was somewhat related to the conversation with Qiu Jun.
Qiu Jun said that Zhang Ru was as cunning as a fox, thoughtful, and decisive, and said that he was a rare talent at this time.
Li Dongyang didn't want to believe that there were so many amazing and glamorous people in this world, why did Qiu Jun just add his eyes to Zhang Ruqing? He didn't care about Qiu Jun's statement at the time, he felt that the old master was a little exaggerated.
Later, after returning home, I thought about it, and found that over the years, it seemed that in addition to appreciating a young Yang Tinghe, Old Master Qiu had never praised a person so much.
He couldn't help but increase the weight of Zhang Ru in his heart, after all, a young man who can easily praise the old master and praise others always has his advantages.
Then, he began to slowly understand Zhang Ru's personality, and in the process of understanding, he found that this young man seemed to get along well with civilian, military and military generals. Although several cabinet members among the literati did not praise him, they did not have any ill feelings towards him, especially Wang Shu, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu, who was the head of the officials in the world, and even directly attached the label of Zhang Wenxuan to his body. Among the generals, many nobles were good friends with him, and few had opinions about him.
The latter is understandable, after all, in all dynasties, except for some generals who died loyal to the country and left a great reputation, others simply cannot leave a name in history. However, Zhang Ru was able to make those ordinary soldiers famous after they died on the battlefield, and he also privately funded and settled the families of all the soldiers.
This annual expenditure is not a small amount, and Zhang Ru can do it, and it is reasonable for the generals to treat him in Beijing.
But among the civil officials, except for Wang Shu's closeness, the closeness of other people made Li Dongyang puzzled.
Until Zhang Ru was sent to a place like Fuzhou, he was ready to unite with Liu Ji and his party, who were about to move, to beat Zhang Ru to death with a stick.
The co-lord of the world, the former student of his, the student who seemed to be gentle and steady, actually summoned him into the deep palace late at night.
After a long talk, Li Dongyang fell into deep thought.
Somehow I remembered the late Old Master Qiu's evaluation of Zhang Ru, he said that Zhang Ru would definitely make earth-shaking changes in the Ming Dynasty in the future, and said that such a young man is rare in a hundred years.
If the emperor only considered the problem from a private standpoint, then Qiu Jun's words were enough to cause Li Dongyang to ponder.
After some weighing, Li Dongyang chose to wait and see what happened, and he didn't do anything to Zhang Ru, just let the situation develop slowly. He does not mix with Liu Ji and his party, and he does not stand on Zhang Ru's side with a clear attitude.
Under Zhu Youzhang's ambiguous attitude, things developed to a certain height as they wished, and many people began to join the camp of crusading against Zhang Ru. Li Dongyang has always been quiet, no matter how many people jump out, he can sit firmly in Diaoyutai.
Several years passed in a flash, during which he also tested Zhu Youjiao's meaning, but every time he broke up with his students.
It wasn't until Zhang Ru, who had been dormant in Fuzhou for several years, suddenly impulsively led 3,000 elite soldiers into Beijing for the sake of two young people, until he stood at the top of the Jinluan Palace for the first time when Zhu Youzhu fainted, and it wasn't until he threw hundreds of officials into Jinyi Weizhao Prison in one fell swoop that Li Dongyang really got to know this young man.
Thoughtful, cunning as a fox, affectionate and righteous, occasionally impulsive and blind.
I don't know if it's Zhang Ru's luck or destiny, Zhang Ru is not only alive, but also alive very well.
Listening to Li Dongyang's praise, Zhang Ru showed an embarrassed expression: "Elder Ge is really promoting the juniors, in fact, it's nothing, it's just some tricks that don't enter the stream." β
Wang Shu pointed to himself and said, "It seems that the old man is the unpopular chess piece in your tricks." β
Zhang Ru sneered: "The old man can't be arrogant, he wants to lead the snake out of the hole, if there is no person of sufficient weight, how can those people come out of the net." β
Li Dongyang actually helped Zhang Ru and said, "Why don't you help Wenxuan, boss?" β
Wang Shu's face was full of surprise, and then he was relieved: "That's it, the reputation that the old man has maintained all his life, since you kid wants to destroy it, then destroy it!" β
