Chapter 403: Heart Like the Sea 5
Lin Qian frowned: "This is too dangerous, Ah Ruo, you ......"
"Don't worry, uncle, I'm measured." Lin Ruo showed a reassuring smile, "These days, I have to avoid suspicion, and the prince is coming back soon, and I have to make arrangements for the affairs of the house, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back often." The matter of picking up the star building and the green seedlings, you have to worry about your uncle and Brother Li, second brother Wang, don't be lazy! ”
Wang Kuang smiled: "Little sister, I finally came to Bian'an, and you don't let me be lazy!" Dad and Uncle Lin are right, you are really the number one profiteer in the world! ”
Lin Ruo smiled lightly and was noncommittal.
Li Yan said: "I don't know about Zhang Xu. Are you sure, can he be trusted? ”
Wang Kuang spoke before Lin Ruo: "I did it when he went to Shangyu Academy to be a teacher three years ago. At that time, he still had some scholarly spirit, but now, he is a lot more restrained and sleek. In the past six months, my father and brother and I have dealt with him many times, this person has ambitions, some ability, as for ambition...... It's not very obvious now, at least, he is still a person who is willing to do practical things and think about the people. ”
Lin Ruo nodded and looked at Li Yan: "Brother Li, if you have any concerns, you can pay more attention." ”
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.
Lin Ruo understood what Li Yan thought, and Li Yan also understood the meaning of Lin Ruo's words.
After waiting for everything to be agreed and Lin Ruo left the Lin Mansion, Lin Qi pestered Li Yan and Wang Kuang and asked how to deal with it tomorrow, while Zhang Xu also listened to the prince vent his grievances in the prince's mansion.
The main worries, the humiliation; Disgrace to the Lord, death to the minister!
No matter what, Zhang Xu knew that the crown prince was his ostensible master. The crown prince received many warnings and reminders from Emperor Mingzong in the imperial study today, and Zhang Xu saw it in his eyes - of course, I have to say that a large part of them were brought on by the prince himself. But he still had to confess to the crown prince for his "incompetent" performance today.
Although the prince is angry, he is not stupid and knows how to do it. Although Zhang Xu ignored his obstruction several times and reluctantly admonished Emperor Mingzong, if it weren't for Zhang Xu's proper preparation, his dangerous moves, and the pros and cons of the Qingmiao Law and Qingmiao in detail, the emperor probably wouldn't have let go of him so easily, who had already made it clear that he wanted to control the Lin family.
It was indeed he who was reckless first, and directly exposed his selfishness to Emperor Mingzong.
But even so, this Lin Ruo is too ignorant of lifting!
Not only does he not know how to lift, but he is also short-sighted and timid!
If the right to allocate the seedlings is in the hands of the Lin family, does she know how much profit she can make in a year? Compared with the Lin family's hard work, this huge amount of money is simply lying in bed and sent to the door! She turned down with righteous words!
Ignorant woman!
What a wasted opportunity!
The prince slapped the teacup on the table to vent his anger.
"Your Highness, don't make trouble, Weichen thinks that this Princess Rong is a smart person."
"Clever?" The prince snorted coldly and asked in an unkind tone, "Where are you smart!" ”
Zhang Xu said: "Has Your Highness ever found that in front of the emperor, Princess Rong is quite 'knowledgeable about current affairs'? ”
After Zhang Xu said this, the prince frowned, vaguely caught something, was silent for a long time, and then spoke: "Minhui has always been very pleasing to her father and the queen mother, but you want to say that Minhui is aware that her father is unwilling to let the Lin family take over the Qingmiao money, so she refused, this is ...... I didn't believe she had the ability. ”
The prince thought and shook his head.
Zhang Xu's face did not move, but compared to the prestige and city government when facing Emperor Mingzong, facing the crown prince made him much more comfortable, and he was a little more confident in his words: "Your Highness, you carefully think about what Princess Rong said in the imperial study. Some seemed reckless, and even angered Shengyan, but in the end, the emperor did not ask her for the blame. Regarding matters related to the livelihood of the society, the emperor is obviously more interested in the analysis of the face than the euphemistic view. That's why Weichen dared to take risks, imitating Princess Rong's words and deeds, and elaborating on the straightness. ”
The results were obvious, and it worked.
Even why the prince chose the Lin family to lead the allocation of green seedlings has been rounded out - selfishness is indeed there, and he generously admits it, but it is more out of consideration for the community and people's livelihood.
"If you say that......"
The prince said hesitantly, looking back at Lin Ruo's favor since he was named the lord of Minhui, it was true that he had won the favor of the emperor and the queen mother, and he just thought that he was a clever little girl who knew how to please the elders.
But after Zhang Xu's words, the prince realized that Lin Ruo seemed to be more than that, she was more intelligent and clever than those who used the emperor and the empress dowager as backers to curry favor - there was a degree of advance and retreat.
With this kind of profound sober cognition, the prince thinks that he is in the position of a prince like him, walking on thin ice every day, and he may not be able to maintain such sobriety at all times, not to be pampered and arrogant, and not to bully others - except for targeting the Gu family everywhere.
Maybe it's because she knows that the emperor and the empress dowager are the ones she must hold on to, but being able to grasp the psychology of the two most powerful people in Donglu so accurately, this Lin Ruo is really not simple!
"Maybe it's because Weichen is too careful."
Zhang Xu said lightly, the prince shook his head, and looked at Zhang Xu cautiously: "No, I think what Mr. Zhang said is very reasonable." The bystander Qing, Lone did underestimate her before. ”
A "Mr. Zhang" showed the prince's heartfelt meaning.
After experiencing the Shangyu flood, the prince only regarded Zhang Xu as a talented person who could be used for his own use, but he did not treat Zhang Xu as trusting as Shen Di, Su Houye and other princelings who had common interests. Until this moment, Zhang Xu's remarks that no one had ever said to him but were quite sharp and accurate, made him realize that this person was indeed a competent staff
- Compared with Shen Di, who is loyal but not very capable, Su Hou, who is capable but has too upright temper, and Murong Chong, who has military power but needs to be more vigilant, is more suitable to be his henchman, a real confidant!
"Don't dare, don't dare! How dare Wei Chen be called 'Mr.' by His Royal Highness! ”
Zhang Xu pushed back with a little trepidation.
"Mr. is too modest, although there are many ministers around him, but they are not as outstanding as Mr., and his eyes are fierce." For attracting people's hearts, the prince is very handy, "It's a great luck to be able to get Mr. Zhang's complement!" Please also don't give up, and be able to assist me. On the other day, he will repay him with the position of Zaifu! ”
"Your Highness! His Royal Highness has tormented the ministers! Weichen is just a scholar, Prince Demeng carries love, takes on the position of prefect unusually, knows the grace of encounter, is unforgettable, and he should do his best for His Royal Highness, and dare not have other thoughts. ”
After passing the buck and complimenting each other like this, the prince was very satisfied with Zhang Xu's attitude, and Zhang Xu was also very grateful for the prince's trust, and finally falsely admitted that the prince privately called him by the name of "sir", and the prince said with a harmonious appearance suitable for the monarch and the ministers: "According to Mr. 's opinion, what does the Lin family mean, and how should Lone deal with this Qingmiao Law and Qingmiao money?" ”
