It is a great violation of the tradition of the Ming Dynasty to be crowned king with a different surname, but fortunately, Zhang Ke has taken this step and has been promoted from the king of the county to the prince, and the gap is not very large. Just one word can be exchanged for Zhang Ke's hard work, and he still makes a lot of money.

It's just that Chongzhen was still a little reluctant, he frowned and said: "Elder Wen Ge, if it depends on whether people are willing or not, I will order you to go to Tianjin now and ask Zhang Ke." ”

Wen Tiren is a kaleidoscope, and he instantly understood Chongzhen's thoughts, this emperor has the best face, but he asked himself to ask Zhang Ke, and it was clear that Zhang Ke took the initiative to write and ask to go to the thief, and then the court would logically crown him as the king of the east.

Some things are reversed, and the taste is completely different, such as the reward in the front and the troops in the back, that is, the court asked Zhang Ke to send troops, and the emperor had no face.

If the troops are sent in front and the reward is in the back, it is Zhang Ke who takes the initiative to take responsibility, and the emperor is generous and generous to the heroes, so that the taste is completely different, and in front of the subjects of the world, Chongzhen also saves face.

For this kind of small abacus, Wen Tiren only has four words to evaluate: "cover your ears and steal the bell".

Who is a fool in the world, and he can't even see this little trick clearly! just knew that he was deceiving himself, and Wen Tiren had to agree.

After bidding farewell to Chongzhen, Wen Tiren left the capital on the third day, drove to Tianjin. Two hundred and eighty miles away, Wen Tiren walked for two days, and after arriving in Tianjin, Wen Tiren couldn't help but gasp.

The original Tianjin Acropolis was not majestic, and it only accommodated tens of thousands of people, but now it is completely different, construction is going on everywhere, and there are busy crowds everywhere.

Some neighborhoods have already been built, others are still under construction, and the workers are busy during the exchanges.

What surprised Wen Tiren the most was the wide road. One, two, three, four...... Silently counted, enough to pass twelve carriages side by side.

The roads are not only wide, but also built with wide bluestones, which are sturdy, flat and stable, not afraid of rain and snow, and are countless times better than the roads in the capital.

"That's a lot of money!" Wen Tiren couldn't help but stretch out his thumb in admiration.

In the past, I just heard some news. said that Zhang Ke was building a lot of construction in Tianjin, and the newly built city could almost accommodate millions of people, Wen Tiren just laughed it off and didn't believe it at all, but now that he looks at it, he is definitely not bragging.

There is another point in the brand-new Tianjin City that Wen Tiren is difficult to understand, that is, the city walls have disappeared, and there is no wide and tall city wall defense, is not afraid of being attacked?

Or is Zhang Ke too conceited. No one dared to attack him?

Wen Tiren walked into Tianjin City with a stomach full of questions, and when he reached the gate of the Acropolis, several officials were waiting by the road. The leader is Zhang Guochen, who is one of the few non-commissioned officers under Zhang Ke, and when he was in the capital, he also saw Wen Tiren.

A few years passed. Wen Tiren became the first assistant, and Zhang Guochen also made the county order of Tianjin, and his personal identity was 10,000 times worse. But in the face of the first assistant of the dynasty, Zhang Guochen was not afraid at all.

In fact, the reason is very clear, because the group represented by Zhang Guochen is strong enough, whenever he thinks of this, Zhang Guochen's blood is bursting, and a sense of pride arises spontaneously.

"The lower official pays a visit to Yuan Weng."

"No courtesy, no courtesy, how is everything going with the prince?"

Zhang Guochen smiled slightly: "Lao Yuanweng is worried, the prince is in good health, and he is waiting for Yuanfu in the flower hall!" ”

Zhang Guochen led the way in front and led Wen Tiren all the way to Zhang Ke's palace, only to see the main gate open, Wen Tiren strode in, and when he arrived at the second gate, Zhang Ke was smiling all over his face, waiting for him.

"Yuan Weng has worked hard, Xiao Wang is late to greet him, and please atone for his sins."

What sin to forgive, who dares to condemn you!

According to common sense, Shoufu is the teacher of a hundred officials, and he came with the emperor's order, Zhang Ke should go outside the city to greet him, who knew that he didn't even go out of the gate, which would have been a big rude!

It's just that Wen Tiren didn't dare to blame, who let him come to beg for help, so he could only accompany the smiling face and said: "The prince fought in the south and the north for the Ming Dynasty, blocking the east and killing the west, it is really the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and it is already a great blessing for the old man to see the prince." ”

"Hehe, Yuan Weng is too famous, please come in."

Zhang Ke took Wen Tiren to the flower hall, his subordinates were like butterflies wearing flowers, putting on sumptuous wine and food, Wen Tiren went to the room on the side, and after washing, he was invited over.

"You all go down, this king and Motosuke want to talk alone."

"Yes." Zhang Guochen took the lead, and everyone went down, leaving only Zhang Ke and Wen Tiren present, Zhang Ke first toasted Wen Tiren three glasses of wine.

"Yuan Weng has worked hard all the way, and the king of your coming also knows a thing or two, but this king wants to say sorry."

Wen Tiren almost vomited blood, this guy is too direct! Don't even give a little face, it's really arrogant!

"Does Yuan Weng think that this king is a little excessive?"

"How dare you, the old man thinks that it is not too late for the prince to listen to the old man's advice and make a decision."

"Okay, please advise." Zhang Ke said generously.

Wen Tiren took a deep breath and said seriously: "As a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, the prince is loyal to the country, which is the duty of a human minister. Since the death of Yang Gelao, the imperial court can only count on the prince to be able to sweep away the wolf smoke and Kuang Zheng Sheji. All the people in the world are looking forward to it, and the saint is even more ardently looking forward to it, as long as the prince agrees to send troops, the saint agrees to enter the prince as the king of the east, enjoy the prince's fortune, hereditary replacement, and wealth to the extreme, is the prince still hesitating? ”

Wen Tiren stared at Zhang Ke tightly, and said in his heart that if he hesitated with such conditions, he would rebel! If Zhang Ke really wanted to rebel and ran to Tianjin by himself, wouldn't he be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, thinking of this, his back was soaked.

Above the flower hall, the air instantly froze, and suddenly Zhang Ke laughed.

"Yuan Weng is familiar with the scriptures and history, and he must be very clear, take the end of Qin as an example, after the elimination of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang appeared, if Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are killed, can the world be peaceful? Not at all, there will only be more, more fierce and cunning rogues. Now the same is true, the first to lead the troubles has died a lot, even King Gao Yingxiang is also dead. Zhang Ke laughed at himself: "If this king sends troops, he will naturally be sure to kill Li Zicheng, but if he kills Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others, can he solve the problem?" At that time, it will still be full of wolf smoke, and the fox will not be able to provoke trouble, and the thankless thing will never be done by this king. ”

Suck!

Wen Tiren couldn't help but gasp, he never thought that Zhang Ke would be able to say such an insight, but savored it, what Zhang Ke said was true, the reason why the rogue appeared was because the officials forced the people to rebel, and the sky was constantly going on, and the people couldn't survive, so they took risks. If the disease is not eradicated, it is useless to kill no matter how many people you kill!

"Lord Wang, according to what you mean, Da Ming is not saved?"

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "If you want to eliminate the Liukou, you must start from the root, the pass is still how much power the imperial court can give to this king, Yuan Weng, you better go back and discuss it with Your Majesty!" (To be continued......)
