Liang Chu walked out of the East Palace with complicated thoughts.

After many years of quiet, once he had to use it, it should have been a time of complacency, but it was still difficult for him to be complacent, and he suddenly took on this heavy responsibility, he was afraid of disappointing the prince's grace.

He was thinking that Cheng Minzheng was unofficial and light, and from now on, he would be fond of the landscape and not be bothered by mundane things.

It was nearly evening, Liang Chu was wandering in the capital, watching the small merchants and hawkers selling, watching the children of the year of the general horn chasing, and walked to the open place and got on a stone bridge.

"Mrs. Liang,"

Liang Chu turned around and found a very friendly person with prominent cheekbones, fleshy cheeks, a narrow head and a wide chin, a little funny, and a very friendly person with a smile, and he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

"You, do you know me?"

"Under the crown."

Liang Chu was not impressed, he looked dazed.

This person named Zhang Mian was not angry, bowed slightly, and responded with a smile, "In the fourteenth year of Chenghua, Wuxu Enke, Liang Taifu is the first in the second grade, and the seventh and eighth in the third grade."

Oh......

Liang Chu's mind drifted back to twenty years ago.

At that time, this guy had a narrow head and a wide chin, but he was young at that time, and the skin on his face was shiny, not as dull as it is now.

"It's the same year."

"Not only in the same year." Zhang Mian smiled, "Mrs. Liang, the lower official is now the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, and in the future, you will be my boss."

Liang Chu sighed slightly, "Twenty years in the blink of an eye, we still arrived at a yamen. It's fate."

Nothing left or right,

Liang Chu and this contemporaneous subordinate found a pavilion with no one to drink.

As the old saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace,

This Zhang Mian hasn't looked for him for 20 years, and when he comes here, he must have something to ask for.

Thinking of the materials given to him by His Highness in his arms,

Liang Chu decided to take a look first, in case a crown is a useful person, he can also recommend him as the director, even if it is not, then there is no loss.

Zhang Mian didn't let him wait long, and soon showed his intention.

「…… It is said that His Royal Highness intends to get rid of the malpractice of Ma Zheng, so he chose the subordinate official of the Zhan Shifu to serve as the Taifu Siqing, and the Taifu Liang is newly appointed, and he does not know where to start.

Liang Chu thought to himself, that's just right.

"The people in the yamen, what do you think of the disadvantages of Ma Zheng?"

"Well, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the disadvantages of Ma Zheng are naturally clear, His Royal Highness's love for the people is also known to everyone, but has Mrs. Liang thought about one thing?"

"Please." Liang Chu stretched out his hand, he wanted to hear it.

It seems that this Zhang Mian knows the Taifu Temple very well.

"Taifu Temple was set up by Emperor Taizu to act as the national horse administration, and the imperial court's horses are counting on us here, His Royal Highness wants to get rid of the disadvantages of horse administration, but the disadvantages are accumulated for many years, once it is not ...... His Royal Highness is a young man who wants to use troops in the north, and there are no horses at that time, so how should the Taifu Temple deal with itself?"

Liang Chu frowned.

How can this Zhang Mian have something to say.

"Are you trying to say that on that day, the army will go out to take a Taifu Siqing sacrifice flag."

"The lower officials don't dare." Zhang Mian waved his hand again and again, he smiled very kindly, after all, his face was a little fat, and he looked naïve, but these words were obviously not a stupid person, he was a big fool, "Xia Guan just wants to find a way back for Mrs. Liang and for us." ….

[Recommended,@

The best way out should be to persuade His Highness to put Ma Zheng aside for the time being, and if he doesn't change it, there will be no mistakes, and if there are no mistakes, he will not be guilty."

"Mrs. Liang is wise, and the officials admire it!"

"Okay, I see." Liang Chu smiled helplessly and shook his head, "But is this your idea alone, or is it the idea of most people in the Taifu Temple?"

This question made Zhang Mian a little embarrassed. If you want to say this, others will say that he is talking black behind his back.

But Liang Chu is a smart person, so he can see it at a glance, so he waved his hand, "Okay, don't say it. I see."

「…… I just ask Mrs. Liang, but don't say that it was said by the lower officials."

Liang Chu didn't bother to care about him,

His heart was heavier now.

Still thinking about it, Zhang Mian somehow took out a few pieces of paper from his cuffs, "Mrs. Liang, we are the same year, and the promotion to the position of Mrs. Siqing is always to congratulate and congratulate, don't be too little in this little heart."

Liang Chu was stunned,

In fact, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were basically corrupt, after all, there were too few people in the imperial court, and it was not unusual to take a little silver, and corruption was not a particularly major crime in ancient dynasties. There were quite a few emperors who themselves liked to use corrupt officials.

But he really didn't dare to take this money, the prince...... Too smart, and Zhang Mian is not familiar with him.

But the routine in officialdom is, if you don't take it, how can I talk to you from the heart?

Didn't Zhang Mian just use the sentence 'Don't be ugly, dodge?'

So after thinking about it, Liang Chu still took the silver ticket.

Seeing that the boss took the money, the person who lost the money was very happy, and there was a feeling of being closer.

There is a sense of intimacy.

So Zhang Mian smiled even more, "Mrs. Liang, forgive the officials for being presumptuous."

"It doesn't matter. You still tell me why everyone is reluctant to remove the disadvantages of Ma Zheng? Your Highness has such a determination and wants to do something for the benefit of the country and the people, why is he still unwilling?"

The money was sent.

Zhang Mian dared to say it.

「…… Mrs. Liang didn't know anything, in fact, everyone was not unwilling, but mainly worried, and now people's hearts are fluctuating. The disadvantages of Ma Zheng, the disadvantages of Ma Zheng, in the final analysis, are not the disadvantages of Taifu Temple? Isn't the disadvantage of Taifu Temple the disadvantage of our people? Now that we want to get rid of these evils, and replace you with a prince and a close minister, everyone is thinking, isn't this to get rid of us?"

Liang Chu was stunned, this is the so-called different positions to consider the problem from different angles.

What Zhang Mian said, there is an unscrupulous pursuit of advantages and disadvantages, which is different from the moral environment at this time, so he is also a little embarrassed to see Liang Chu like this,

But today Zhang Mian has made up his mind, what's the use of being thin-skinned, the knife cuts a little faster. ….

"The lower officials think that Mrs. Liang should be cautious, not to deal with it according to His Royal Highness's will, but to delay, slow, and close his eyes. When the water is clear, there are no fish."

"What if...... Your Highness rebuked me?"

"This is not true, Ma Zheng's shortcomings are not because of Mrs. Liang, just like the governor of Shaanxi, Yang Yiqing, he gave His Highness a note, saying that there are only more than 2,000 horses left in the Shaanxi Horse Ranch, how could His Highness blame him? The same is true of the servants."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Liang Chu shook his head, "For the sake of the same year, I advise you to make plans early. What you said may be reasonable, but as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, you have never thought about how you can help the imperial court. In fact, the way to survive is very simple, just help His Highness. You want to take advantage of Your Highness, and you want Your Highness to let you take advantage of it, and ...... It's not that easy to be an official."

Zhang Mian's face changed greatly,

He originally thought that the relationship was in place!

Liang Chu took out the silver from his cuffs, "This, you can take it back." I don't want to have a bad time in the next few years because of this."

After saying that, he stood up, ignoring the stunned Zhang Mian.

Before leaving, he paused again, "By the way, there is something you must have heard. Your Highness just needs to keep an eye on it

In the last matter, without a result, the responsible officials will not be spared, either to the official or to be killed. That's why it's useless to delay and slow down. Unless ......"

Unless he doesn't say anything about Liang Chu later.

Because it's a little disrespectful.

What he thought in his heart was that unless someone really could stop this Ming prince.

However, looking at the intelligence of the crown prince of the dynasty, it is not only difficult but also dangerous to try to catch him, and he may wake up when he will wake up.

He is not bold enough, and he has just come out of the prince's sight, so let's do this one thing well first.

Just be Zhang Tianrui's second, otherwise it will be dangerous to reform Ma Zheng, and you have to fight with the prince every day, and you can't live that day.

And Zhang Mian was completely flustered,

If he succeeds in this operation, he can turn the crisis into safety to a large extent, but if he fails in this way, the consequences will be incalculable.

Ignoring Liang Chu's side, Zhang Mian hurriedly went to find another one, Jiang Qian, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.

Although the two usually fight and fight, they don't warm each other at this time, so when will they wait?

What made him anxious was that Jiang Qian was not in the yamen, nor was he at home, so he was easy to find, and then he simply sat at his house and didn't leave, and waited until it was completely dark before Jiang Qian came back.

The two were originally opposites, no one had ever entered anyone's house, and when Jiang Qian came back, he found that it was Zhang Mian, and he didn't say anything, and there was a tacit understanding between the opponents.

"Didn't think of a way?" Jiang Qian asked first.

"I thought of one, but it didn't work." Zhang Mian asked rhetorically, "What actions did you take on this day?"

"Listen to the news, and see what you see. But, that's the bad news." Jiang Qian didn't hide it from him, "I inquired clearly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has mobilized all the Jinyi Guards and Teng Xiang Zuowei. Taifu Temple this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

"Teng Xiang Zuowei?!" Zhang Mian stood up suddenly, "What is this going to do?!"

Jiang Qian had already known that he had been shocked, he stood up and put his hands behind his back, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been either immobile and moving like thunder, and this time with the momentum of Mount Tai is to have a deterrent effect. Originally, I was going to come up with a trick not to blame the public, but the change of Zuo Shunmen was in front, and it was useless to think about it. The only possibility is ......."

Zhang Mian was listening with his head sticking out, but when he heard the most critical moment, this guy stopped, so angry that he wanted to curse, "Tsk. How do you talk halfway through, what?!".
