Like Zhang Ru, Zhu Youzhu in the palace was also pondering.

"Your Majesty, Dingbian Hou asks to see you." Qin Ji's old, shrill voice pulled Zhu Youzhu back to reality from his contemplation.

"Oh!" Zhu Youzhu came back to his senses, his expression was slightly surprised, and then he immediately said, "Let him in." ”

Qin Ji turned around and walked to the door, without raising his eyelids: "Your Majesty announced that you will see the Marquis of Dingbian." ”

Zhang Ru didn't take a look at this eunuch with a small heart, strode into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and closed the door with his hand.

Although Zhu Youzhu handed over the East Factory to Wang Zhi after Zhang Ru brought Wang Zhi back to the capital, he still believed that Qin Ji was the most trusted person in his bones. Qin Ji will not die for a day, and the people he trusts will not change for a day. After all, he is an old man, and he is an old man who has been with him for a long time in the East Palace Hidden Mansion.

People always have feelings, and Zhu Yougui is no exception to being the emperor, but the emperor's feelings will not be shown many times.

Walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion, knelt down on one knee and saluted Zhu Youzhang, and after Zhu Youzhu said goodbye, Zhang Ru stood up and stood aside respectfully.

The look of surprise on Zhu Youjiao's face was even stronger: "Brother Tiger, what's wrong with you, why did you become so restrained after a great court meeting?" ”

Zhang Ru smiled and said: "The minister just reminds himself all the time that this Ming Dynasty is His Majesty's country." At the same time, congratulations to Your Majesty for being able to get a courtier like Bai Lang. ”

Zhu Youzhu said, "You, you think too much again." By the way, what do you think of Bai Lang? I always felt that his actions today were sensational, but the last nine sturdy rings made some inexplicable sense. Looking at Li Min's face, it seems that today's events are not his mastermind, and the expressions of the others are also full of surprise, as if this is what Bai Lang did alone. ”

Zhang Ru groaned: "The minister thinks that this Bai Lang has no intention of grandstanding, he is a scholar, and the best thing for a scholar is to have a face." What's more, he is a household servant, and his status is second only to the nobles, the cabinet, and the six Shangshu among the courtiers. If it is grandstanding, there is no need for him to come out on his own, and find one or two acquaintances to give the matter or the official to impeach the minister decently.

However, when His Majesty set the banner and stood on the side of the ministers, he still didn't know whether to jump out and attack, which was not a wise move, he had been up and down in the sea for more than ten years, and there was no reason not to understand this truth.

The minister's explanation was far-fetched, but he did not refute it, but immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and asked for punishment.

When leaving the Jinluan Palace, the last sentence was that in ancient times, Jing Ke stabbed Qin, and now there is Bai Lang stabbing Zhang. That sentence is obviously full of death, a lifeless person, can already have no scruples, partial life he believes in the minister's explanation.

Therefore, the minister thought that this Bai Lang should be sincerely advised. ”

Zhu Youzhang's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and Zhang Ru's analysis made him pause, no longer getting into a dead end and unable to get out.

Reluctantly gave a smile, he asked with some hesitation: "Then what you said about changing the status quo of the imperial court in three years, can you do it?" ”

Zhang Ru shook his head very frankly: "This minister doesn't know, the minister will do his best, and what it will develop into in the end, the minister himself doesn't know." Who can say what will happen in the future? But things always need people to do, and if you don't do it, it will be the same, and in the end it will become a pool of stagnant water, and if you do it, at least there will be a chance to introduce living water into stagnant water. ”

Zhu Youjiao's right index finger and thumb kept rubbing the white jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand, and his brows were sometimes locked and sometimes stretched: "Brother Hu, to tell you from the heart, I still don't know whether it is right or wrong to support you." ”

"You and I, the monarch and the minister, are now on the opposite side of all the courtiers. If we succeed, we are right, even if what we do today is wrong. If we don't succeed, we are wrong, even if what we are doing today is right. Right and wrong are never absolute, only relative. Zhang Ru said.

Zhu Youzhu nodded in agreement: "Yes!" Anyway, I've been dragged onto a thief ship by you, and now I have only one way to go to the dark. ”

Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry about the sky, when it is difficult to do anything, just like what Bai Lang said at the court meeting today, difficult choices can make people choose their own path." It doesn't matter if the path is right or wrong, tortuous or straight, dark or light. Since we have chosen, the only thing we can do is to grit our teeth and walk over. ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed: "Alas, the state affairs are troublesome, don't talk about that." Why did you suddenly enter the palace again, don't tell me that you came back to tell me these things. ”

Zhang Ru said with a sad face: "The minister didn't dare to bully the king, and he turned back halfway, but it was really not to say these innocuous words to Your Majesty." The main thing is that the minister has been really depressed under his crotch recently. ”

"If Mr. Cui is still here, I guess I will have to beat you with a bamboo stick, what is the recent moment." Zhu Youzhu said with a smile.

Zhang Ru pointed to his crotch: "What the minister said is not the moment, but the crotch." ”

Zhu Youzhu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Brother Tiger, you specially entered the palace, it won't be to make me happy!" ”

After laughing for a long time, he stopped laughing, and looked at Zhang Ru with a smile on his stomach.

Zhang Ru said: "Yes, yes, you see how good I am to you, I know that you are unhappy and specially came to make you happy." ”

"Is there really something that makes it difficult for you to choose?" Zhu Youzhu saw that although the words spoken by the other party were not very reliable, his face was extremely serious, and he asked tentatively.

Zhang Ru nodded: "Before Qiqi left, I met a person in Datong, and that person had a life-saving grace for Jiang Wei. Later, Qiqi left, she came to the capital and lived in the Dingbian Marquis's Mansion. After going back and forth, they can only be regarded as familiar with each other, but the girl didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she threatened Jiang Wei and walked directly from Datong to Fuzhou. ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes widened very exaggeratedly: "What's the matter, that girl has taken a fancy to you?" ”

Zhang Ru said angrily: "Can you listen to me." ”

Zhu Youzhu rolled his eyes, gossiping, if his courtiers saw this scene, they wouldn't know how many would be angry.

"Okay, okay, you say, I don't talk much." Zhu Youzhu rolled his eyes and motioned for him to continue.

Zhang Ru continued: "Not long after Qiqi left, I couldn't accept a strange girl. And that girl and I really don't have too deep feelings. I've been lonely all my life, and I can't hurt other girls.

But when she came, she said in front of hundreds of Fuzhou people and Yamen miscellaneous servants that Zhang Ru would not marry me in this life. Speaking from the heart, as a man at that moment, the face was very sufficient.

The girl is not bad-looking, and her family is very wealthy, why did she fall in love with me?

I checked her bottom line, and she seems to be very clean. But the more this happens, the more cautious I become. The pervasive White Lotus Sect really made me really don't know what to do. Those who offended in the imperial court, even more so wished I died.

The opening of the sea ban is a major event that cannot be ignored, and I will not allow a nail to appear around me. So I cruelly rejected her, thinking that as long as I her off, there would be nothing.

But people are not as good as heaven, I am just an ordinary person after all, the next day she came, as if nothing had happened, came to the Fuzhou Mansion.

After a long time together, I found that this girl really seemed to like me, and I, I always thought that I would not be tempted, and after a dream, I knew that I was tempted.

To this day, I still have some suspicions that she is the nail that my opponents have buried next to me, and I still dare not say anything to her. And I have a Su Qiqi in my heart, and I can't let the Qiqi under Jiuquan chill my heart.

I was distressed, and my heart was disturbed to see her dangling under my nose every day. I really don't know what to do. ”

Seeing Zhang Ru showing such an expression, Zhu Youzhang's heart was suddenly pinched.

I wanted to tease a few words, but when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know how to say it.

After a long while, he said: "Qiqi is a good girl, but a heart hangs over you, if you change someone, I don't mind using means to get her."

You shouldn't hesitate, you should think about whether Qiqi under Jiuquan wants you to be lonely for him for a lifetime, or whether you want you to hide one of her in your heart, and then be happy with another her for a lifetime.

As a brother, I really don't know how to persuade you, there are some things that you can only really understand if you want to understand them yourself, even brothers can't help you. ”

For a long time, Zhang Ru has given people the impression of being strategic, and it is really difficult to accept that he suddenly makes an idiot come to him.

Zhu Youzhu tried his best to choose peaceful words as words of persuasion, and it really took a lot of effort.

Zhang Ru nodded as if he didn't understand: "I told you what I thought, and I suddenly felt a lot easier." Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you that I'm very melancholy under my crotch, it's really melancholy. ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled: "Come on, you can just hide everything in your heart, it may not be a good thing to hide everything in your heart, and it will be easier to say something that you can say." How is the White Lotus Sect? What about nails? If you can make her fall in love with you, all intrigues will become empty talk. ”

Zhang Ru looked at Zhu Youzhu with a smile.

At first, Zhu Youzhu felt a little strange, but as Zhang Ru's gaze became more and more eager, he seemed to understand something, and touched his nose a little embarrassed: "Ahem, those of mine can't be told to people." ”

Zhang Ru said: "Okay, what should be said has been said, you continue to be busy with your national affairs!" Anyway, you know your own body, without your body, what does this prosperous world have to do with you! ”

After speaking, he left the East Warm Pavilion directly.

As for what he said, how much Zhu Youzhu could listen to, he didn't know how much he could listen to.

However, after Zhang Ru left, Zhu Youzhu became a lot more relaxed, and the decadence on his face was swept away, and he was so excited that Wang Zhi organized a few little eunuchs to have a sweaty bow in the imperial garden.

Zhang Yaoyao saw everything in his eyes and thanked Zhang Ru from the bottom of his heart.
