Zhang Hongren returned from the Chengguo Mansion, saw his father directly, and relayed the prince's promise word for word. Although he was favored by the elders, he did not have much religious power. It is impossible for any mature organization to last for a long time the cult of personality and the hall of one word, and the development of the later stage will inevitably be a multi-head equilibrium, and only in this way can the organization be prevented from collapsing.

In this regard, there is no difference between the Zhengyi Religion and the Ming Empire.

As the sect leader, Zhang Yingjing naturally can't make a decision based on a few words from his son, there are also eight generals of the Heavenly Master Mansion, as well as the abbots and principals of important palaces in various places. The attitudes and perceptions of these people will also play a huge role. Otherwise, just one Dragon and Tiger Mountain, with a jurisdiction of no more than 100 miles, how could the Heavenly Master maintain his prestige?

Zhu Cihong is a person who has experienced the corporate politics of later generations, and does not have the luxury of establishing a religious order under his control overnight. He took Zhang Hongren with him, and even if he discussed the problem, he did not avoid it at all. Zhang Hongren is very sensible and silent, which makes people not know the depths.

Thinking about when Chengzu was the king of Yan, there was a mysterious monk Yao Guangxiao by his side, and now His Royal Highness the prince is accompanied by a Taoist priest, which also makes people have a lot of associations. Because the prince himself is a character who cannot be measured by ordinary people, even Liu Ruoyu doesn't know what is different from ordinary people about this young heavenly master.

"It's just a little long-term follower," Xu Dian said in a word, "Do you want to listen to what adults say?" ”

Zhang Hongren has suffered such humiliation since he became sensible, and he immediately blushed. The south wind prevailed in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Hongren was white-skinned and tender, Xiao Changsui originally had the meaning of a male pet, how could he not be annoyed!

Zhu Cihong didn't explain, and when he saw that Zhang Hongren was able to suppress his anger, he was slightly relieved. He didn't want to find a sect leader who couldn't even control his emotions, that would only doom him to be too successful and more to lose.

"This is the Young Heavenly Master Zhang Hongren," Zhu Cihong didn't appreciate people who were arrogant and arrogant, "There is no need to avoid it." ”

Xu Dian nodded at this time, as if he was interacting with his peers, and said, "The student specially brought the sincerity of Dingguo Gong today. With that, Xu Duan took out a book with a vermilion cover from his sleeve, as well as a gift list.

Zhu Cihong opened the book first, and it turned out that Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, and Zhang Shize, the Duke of the British, asked him to take over the three major battalions of the Beijing Division. Xu Yunzhen knew it, and as for Zhang Shize's name appearing on the book, it made Zhu Cihong a little surprised.

The British Duke originated from the famous general Zhang Yu in Jingnan, and in the sixth year of Yongle, Zhang Yu's eldest son Zhang Fu was awarded the title of British Duke. At that time, Zhang Fu's sister was the imperial concubine, and she herself was brave and good at fighting, so the British princess became the top nobles of the emperor, and even when Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian were at their peak in later generations, they did not dare to make any moves against the British princess.

"Xu Yunzhen pulled Zhang Shize, one is to surrender to His Highness, and the other is to tell His Highness that the noble relatives of the family are not fish and meat on the board." Xu Dian said lightly.

Zhu Cihong still didn't know Xu Dan's position, but when he heard this, he felt a little harsh, and said in a deep voice: "The lonely family wants to ask, who dares to regard the national dry city as fish and meat?" ”

"Your Highness," Xu Dian owed slightly, "Whether there is plague in the Chengguo Mansion or not is none of the business of others. However, His Highness rushed to the rescue with such a thunderbolt, which made the powerful families panic. ”

"Who doesn't panic when they encounter the plague?" Zhu Cihong said: "This time, in order to save Chengguogong, many East Palace guards were infected with the plague, and the lonely family was also heartbroken. ”

"If the powerful family seals the portal, and waits for Bixia to send someone to investigate, does His Highness really want to forcibly attack?" Xu Dian asked.

"Hmph," Zhu Cihong snorted coldly, "Since they have such an awareness, they don't infect outsiders, and they save the trouble of Lone." ”

"Then how does His Highness collect the savings of his clan for generations?" Xu Dian said with a smile.

Zhu Cihong's face was as pale as iron, and he suddenly smiled: "You dare to say such slanderous words about the East Palace, aren't you afraid of implicating your lord?" ”

"I just ate a few meals from Xu Yunzhen, and that's because I come from the same lineage, and the kindness belongs to the ancestors, how can I recognize mediocrity as the master?" Xu Dian said disapprovingly.

Zhu Cihong's already angry face suddenly bloomed with a warm smile, and he said to Zhang Hongren slowly: "You go out first." ”

Zhang Hongren had already heard the cold sweat, and he didn't know why, so he ran away and said goodbye.

Only then did Zhu Cihong say to Xu Dan: "Seeing that you are quite self-assured, what kind of talent do you have?" ”

"The students do not have the literary talent of Sima Xiangru, the second is not as eloquent as Zhuge Kongming, the third is not as talented as Zhu Sheng and Liu Ji, and the same as Chang Yuchun, Tang and the same martial arts and bravery. Although he has the blood of His Royal Highness King Zhongshan, my ancestor, is not really a talent in the battle array. Xu Dian said loudly.

This self-deprecating remark came out in the Kunshan vernacular, which was like Kunqu opera at that time. Zhu Cihong listened to his mother's Suzhou dialect since he was a child, and there were not many language barriers with Xu Dan, but it was self-deprecation and self-deprecation in and out of words, which completely reversed Xu Dan's image of talent and arrogance, and couldn't help but produce a great contrast.

"I saw you so arrogant before, as if you had immortal talents, but I didn't expect you to still be self-aware." Zhu Cihong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then why do you dare to recommend yourself?" ”

"The wind is born in the earth, and it starts at the end of the apple." Xu said: "The talent of students is to observe the wind. ”

"What did you observe?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Whoever has a heart for a hundred miles, he will ask about the left and right; Whoever has a heart for a thousand miles will be consulted by the people. Xu Duan owed: "Only those who are determined to be in the world and are determined to be in the eternals know the people's hearts and their own heavenly hearts, and the people listen to their own heavenly hearts, and set up the drums of Dengwen to seek the voice of the people, and densely cover the ears and eyes of the minions to stab the people's feelings, just as my Taizu Emperor Gao did." ”

Zhu Cihong was silent. These few sentences have been made very clear, Xu Dian is a figure who thinks he can analyze intelligence. For a person who reached out to ask for such an important position when he met for the first time, Zhu Cihong really didn't dare to blindly obey.

"These days, students have found that there are many people in the market who are spying on the people's feelings, neither the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, nor the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, but it seems that the Ministry of War is doing this." Xu Dian said: "The student remembers that there was a Tang newspaper earlier, and it was His Royal Highness who promoted Song Hongye, the former soldier and horse secretary, as the head of the department...... Do you need more elaboration from students? ”

Zhu Cihong was slightly moved. He never believed in a genius who sat in a room and knew what was going on in the world, but he believed that there must be many people in the world who could find the truth from the clues. If you don't have such a talent, you have to use a lot of information to pile one up, otherwise you will be deaf and blind, just like in the palace.

Although the news in the palace is now transmitted by Liu Ruoyu and Tian Cunshan, and the officialdom of the market has Song Hongye traffic, he has also established a ten-member group within himself...... However, it is true that there is still a lack of talents who can dominate the overall situation and refine intelligence.

"This kind of thing can only be relieved if it is left to the heart," Zhu Cihong said without any emotional fluctuations, "How can I believe that you are not a dead man?" ”
