In the Zhengxin Palace, after just meeting the Zhang family brothers, Zhu Youzhu was already a little tired, but when he thought that Liu Chengfeng would enter the palace later, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but shake his spirits. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Chengfeng is a very unique person, until now, Zhu Youzhu is still a little confused about him, but in any case, Liu Chengfeng's appearance has indeed benefited him a lot, and many difficult things can often be solved in the hands of Liu Chengfeng.

It's just that this guy seems to be too smart, and for Zhu Youjiao, it may not be a good thing for a courtier to be too smart.

So Zhu Youzhu had some doubts at this time.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?"

When Zhu Youzhu saw the Zhang brothers, Empress Zhang also came on purpose, after all, it was her own brother, I heard that she had entered the palace, and she had to see each other, at this time the Zhang brothers were thankful to leave, and Empress Zhang was about to move back to Kunning Palace, and when she saw Zhu Youzhu's sad look, she couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Youzhu smiled slightly, hesitated for a moment, but still said what was on his mind, and said to Empress Zhang: "Liu Chengfeng is too domineering, I am afraid that he will develop a complacent surname, which is not a good thing for him." ”

Empress Zhang smiled and said: "Your Majesty is too worried, it is not bad for Your Majesty to be domineering, and the concubines have also read some scriptures and histories, but they only know that Wang Mang was very humble when he was an official. Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with being domineering, you see how many people will be jealous of you this time in order to open the sea, what is this? This is a lonely minister, since ancient times, a lonely minister is a loyal minister, loyal to the country to this point, Your Majesty is especially insufficient, what else? ”

When Zhu Youzhu heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The lonely minister is a loyal minister, where did you hear this?" ”

Empress Zhang also laughed and said: "Because many lonely ministers do not form a party, they are not suspected of being friends, Your Majesty must also know that this court is full of teachers and students, classmates, and friendships, which minister does not have a protégé?" Don't have a fellow student? These people are sworn friends, stupid countries are chaotic, and they form parties to win private gains, is the harm still small? But the lonely minister is different, the lonely minister often dares to be the first in the world, never cares about the consequences, does not seek personal gain, and is only for the court, for the good of the emperor, although such a person has a lot of reputation, but His Majesty can really rely on it. The concubine didn't say that other ministers were bad, but that there were too many people in the government and the opposition who had scruples, such as Liu Jian, although he was loyal to the emperor, but this time he didn't oppose the opening of the sea? With Liu Jianzhi's ability, will he not be able to see the benefits of opening the sea to Daming? Of course he knows, but the Ming Kaihai to the cabinet, but it may not be good for him Liu Jian, if he stands up to support, then his protégés will be ashamed of him, his colleagues will despise him, and Shilin's Qing Yi will also oppose him, so he has to stand up to express his opposition, this is Liu Jian's selfishness, Liu Jian may not be profitable, but he loves his name, and a person cherishes his feathers, so he naturally has more scruples, and his loyalty is weak. ”

Empress Zhang paused for a moment, and then continued: "Only Liu Chengfeng, he knows in his heart that opening the sea will benefit us greatly from the Ming Dynasty, so he plans at night, not hesitating to offend the people of the world, such a thought, how many people in the world can do it?" Your Majesty, Liu Chengfeng is a lonely minister, his difficulties are also here, everyone is angry, everyone is slandering him, if even Your Majesty has doubts about him, isn't this a death trap for him? Your Majesty should treat him well, resist public opinion, and not listen to what others say, so that the loyal ministers will not be cold......"

Empress Zhang's words certainly had a deep impression of Liu Chengfeng. On the other hand, it is also Liu Chengfeng's actions that are consistent with Empress Zhang's interests, whether it is Jubaolou or what is being drummed up now, which one is not for the good of the prince? The prince is Queen Zhang's baby bump, and now the prince and Liu Chengfeng are good friends, and they just have Liu Chengfeng and the ability, and there will be more places for the prince to use Liu Chengfeng in the future. In addition, this time Liu Chengfeng proposed to let the Zhang brothers take charge of the errand of building roads, don't look at just building roads, but the authority is not small, this errand is to negotiate with the governors, prefects, and county orders at any time, let their own brothers go through the experience, it is not a bad thing, it can be said that the Zhang family owes Liu Chengfeng more than just a favor, and now Queen Zhang sees that Zhu Youzhu has doubts about Liu Chengfeng, so she naturally has to say a few good words, but as soon as the box is opened, she actually said such a big basket of truths, I am afraid that even she herself may not think of it.

Zhu Youzhu listened to Empress Zhang's words, and after a turn of thought, he also felt that it was very reasonable, and couldn't help but say: "It's not that I don't trust him, I just want to sharpen it, but I was embarrassed by what you said." ”

Empress Zhang also felt that she had said a little too much, and said a little apologetically: "Your Majesty, the concubine actually doesn't understand anything, she just talks casually." ”

Zhu Youzhu shook his head solemnly and said: "What the queen said is beautiful, and I have benefited a lot, so there is no need to be too humble." In this way, the affairs of the thousands of households in the inner East City must be taken care of by Liu Chengfeng. ”

"The Thousand Households in Inner East City ......" Empress Zhang couldn't help but say suspiciously: "What's wrong with the Thousand Households in Inner East City?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Neidongcheng is not peaceful these days, it's just useless to talk to you, I don't know if Liu Chengfeng is here, why hasn't it arrived until now?" ”

Empress Zhang stopped asking, some things can be said more, but some things are better to say less, the relationship here, Queen Zhang is very clear, so she nodded and said: "The concubine will go back to Kunning Palace first, and Your Majesty will rest early after seeing Liu Chengfeng." ”

After that, Empress Zhang took a few palace people and left.

As soon as Empress Zhang left, Liu Chengfeng arrived, and he naturally didn't hear what he said, but he hadn't entered this palace for a long time, and played alone with Zhu Youzhang, Liu Chengfeng's heart was a little nervous, not afraid of anything, but a little uncomfortable. Think about it, with his current status and status, he is arrogant everywhere he goes, and others are stammering him, but when he enters here, the whole person is a lot shorter.

Liu Chengfeng entered the Zhengxin Palace, and saw Zhu Youzhu sitting there, and the prince came in by himself, he and Zhu Youzhu also had some teacher-student friendship, and they hadn't been alone for a long time, so they couldn't help but be a little excited, and they saluted and said, "Wechen has seen Your Majesty." ”

It's a very plain sentence, not too pretentious, just like a greeting to the elders, which does not seem too flattering, but also expresses his respect.

Zhu Youzhu bowed slightly to Liu Chengfeng and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk." ”

A eunuch brought a chair, Liu Chengfeng was not polite, sat down directly, and then smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's complexion is much better than before." ”

Liu Chengfeng's surname is like this, in his opinion, everyone is equal, even if there is inequality between the two, he also tries his best to shorten the distance between the two, the so-called closing distance is to maintain his dignity in and out of words, and the person who dares to greet the emperor like this, he is the first one, and when he saw the emperor and directly said the emperor's complexion, this courage was also a little bigger.

However, when Liu Chengfeng spoke to Zhu Youzhang, he often expressed sincerity, and when he talked about Zhu Youzhang's complexion, Zhu Youzhang could deeply feel a kind of greeting from the younger generation to the elders.

In this way, it makes Zhu Youzhu and him have a sense of closeness to each other, don't underestimate this bland greeting, it is often more useful than a hundred sentences of long live my emperor. In the eyes of the emperor, the phrase "long live the emperor" is really similar to meeting an acquaintance and saying "Have you eaten" greeted by others, but Liu Chengfeng's unique greeting style is rare, and at first glance, it makes people feel very comfortable.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said: "This is also your prescription, you came back from Guangxi this time, I have not summoned you, I must also know my hardships, these words, I will not tell you." Only this time you come back, what are your plans? ”

What's the plan...... Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be speechless, what's the use of having a plan, and he can't listen to the emperor? However, he immediately understood what Zhu Youzhu meant, Zhu Youzhu asked his opinion first, he wanted to deliberately give himself a choice, and the king gave his courtiers a choice, which meant that in the king's mind, the grade had been raised to a higher level. He took a deep breath and said, "It's all up to Your Majesty's orders." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled again, changed his words, and no longer said about arranging Liu Chengfeng, but said: "The Mr. Zhao you escorted has already been interrogated, and the evidence of King Jingjiang's collusion with the barbarians has been conclusive, but it's a pity that King Jingjiang has absconded in fear of crime, hmph, I treat him King Jingjiang is not thin, I didn't expect him to do such a thing, it's really hateful." ”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Zhu Youzhu, smiled slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen knows where King Jingjiang went. ”

"Oh?"

"The King of Jingjiang has nowhere to go, but there is no place for him in this big world, the only thing that can accommodate him is only the vassal king, the king of Jingjiang is a branch of the clan, and there are not many close vassal kings, so Weichen concluded that the king of Jingjiang must have gone to Nanchang."

Nanchang...... That is to go to King Ning's Mansion.

Liu Chengfeng's analysis is not wrong, if the other vassal kings can still flee to other places, after all, the vassal kings are all close to each other, and it may not be impossible to take the risk of containment. But the King of Jingjiang is different, although they are also surnamed Zhu, but they are the nephews of Emperor Taizu, in the past hundred years, the already weak family relationship has long been broken, between the King of Jingjiang and other vassal kings, if there can be any friendship, it is really a bit far-fetched, usually everyone goes far, no one knows anyone, so who else is likely to contain Zhu Youlin?

Most of the time it is this King Ning, the last time Zhu Youlin challenged Liu Chengfeng, it was this King Ning who was the most enthusiastic, plus King Ning represented the interests of the vassal kings everywhere, Zhu Youlin would not know that he defected to King Ning in order to save his surname.
