Emperor Wanli took a deep breath and said, "Then you can talk about it now!"

Then Zhang Shi expounded on Liu Haojia's theory of civil and military balance and civil and official part-time work, and heard that Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli nodded again and again. Liu Haojia had told Emperor Wanli about some of the truths, so he was not surprised. But it was the first time that Empress Dowager Li accepted this kind of statement, and it was really attentive!

When Zhang Shi finished speaking, the entire hall was silent, digesting what he had just said. However, Emperor Wanli had a little more contact after all, and he was the first to react and began to pick up the teacup and drink water.

The sound of the teacups colliding woke up Empress Dowager Li, and she stared at Zhang Shi and said, "Zhang Shi, in your opinion, what kind of person is this Wu Ninghou?"

Zhang Shi immediately knelt down and said, "I don't know what kind of person Wu Ninghou is, after all, the contact time is still short! But as far as what the slave and maid have seen and heard, Wu Anjun has been trained by him like an arm, and there has never been a shortage, and he can also be rich in the land, so that the people can have food, money to spend, and a superior life! I also heard that he arrested a lot of local splashes and sent them to labor reform! The slave doesn't know how to transform, so I guess it's rough work! That's a good officer!"

Empress Dowager Li nodded noncommittally, turned to Zhang Jia and said, "Zhang Jia, you have been in contact with him a lot, what do you think?"

Zhang Jia also knelt down and said, "Niangniang, the slave maid has checked Wu Ninghou. It is true that he himself was not greedy, and every penny of his income was earned through lawful business, and all his business was taxed, something that no other nobles had ever done! As for the digging of the slave maid also placed people, sent the news that he never deducted the military salary, but subsidized the soldiers a lot of silver, now the military salary of the Wu'an Army is similar to that of the navy, the soldiers' families live a stable life, and they are willing to die for the Long Live Lord! If there is a problem, that is, he has put many of his own families under the banner of Jinyiwei, but the salary and silver are all from his own family, and he does not take advantage of Jinyiwei! So from the point of view of being an official, it can be described as flawless!"

Empress Dowager Li snorted with a straight face and said, "Doesn't he have any shortcomings? Is he a new saint?"

Zhang Jia's body shook when he heard this! This question goes straight to the core, and the good or bad answers are not only related to Liu Haojia's future development prospects, but even he is related!

However, Zhang Jia still said respectfully, "Where is there a saint in this world! If there is a saint, it is also the Queen Mother and Long Live the Lord! However, although Wu Ninghou is exemplary in terms of being an official, Wu Ninghou's dedication to this person is too heavy! He once said after drinking that he must accomplish two things in his life, one is to become a hereditary prince, and to bring Gu Ningbo's mansion to the position of the prince, just like the Xu family, which will be passed on to the two princes!"

Empress Dowager Li's face was much better when she heard this! She is not afraid that the courtiers will have ideas, because if they have ideas, they will inevitably ask the royal family! After all, there is no way around royalty in this world! She dared to let her son use such a courtier, if there was really a saint-like figure, I was afraid that she would kill someone! Then she said, "And then, there's another one!"

This time, Zhang Jia's head was lowered, but he still said in a loud and clear voice: "There is also the fact that Wu Ninghou once told the slave maid that he wanted to establish the merit of sealing the wolf Juxu, and let the history books remember his name!" He also said that it should be passed on independently in the history books!"

Empress Dowager Li laughed when she heard this, and then said, "Wu Ninghou has a lot of thoughts! If you can really set up a biography in the history books, let alone say that it is the prince of the country, I am afraid that the prince will do it! It's just that we don't have that rule in the Ming Dynasty!"

Emperor Wanli said loudly at this time: "If he can be leveled***, what can he do if he is crowned a king?"

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she immediately straightened up and said, "Nonsense! The rules of the ancestors are as big as the sky, how can a foreign surname be crowned a king!"

Emperor Wanli grinned and said, "I just said it casually, how could I break the royal rules at will!"

Empress Dowager Li nodded with satisfaction when she heard this, and then said with a sigh: "Wu Ninghou has a lot of thoughts, and it is not easy to set up an independent biography in the history books! That is a blessing that only those who have great deeds can have this blessing! To be honest, even if you defeat ***, you may not have this qualification!"

Zhang Jia said at this time

"Niangniang, that Wu Ninghou seems to have absolute certainty! And he also said so about him, but Wu Ninghou said that if it is not enough to flatten ***, he will expand his territory overseas, and then give Daming a territory of almost the same size, he will definitely be qualified to pass it on!"

Emperor Wanli's eyes lit up and he said loudly, "If that's the case, you're really qualified!" But why didn't you tell me before, you dog minion?"

Zhang Jia said with a bitter face: "Long live Lord, he drank too much to say so much to the slave maid, and he usually didn't say these things! And the slave thought it was drunken talk, so she didn't take it seriously! When the mother asked, the slave remembered!"

Emperor Wanli pursed his lips and said, "Liu Aiqing is inevitably too careful, he hasn't said these words to me! Zhang Jia, next time you want to get him drunk again, see what else he can say?"

Zhang Jia was also helpless when he heard this, but at this time, he could only agree. As for how to get Liu Haojia drunk at that time, let's talk about it when the time comes!

At this time, Empress Dowager Li turned her head and said to Zijuan beside her, "Zijuan, what do you think?"

Empress Dowager Li has four favorite palace maids by her side, but why she only keeps Zijuan by her side is because this person is clever and can be regarded as half of Empress Dowager Li's brains! Over the years, she has been helping her with advice and advice by the side of Empress Dowager Li, and has made a lot of contributions! She is now thirty years old, and she still stays with Empress Dowager Li.

Hearing Empress Dowager Li's question, she first looked at Emperor Wanli, and when she saw him turn his head, she said, "In other aspects, Zhang Banban and Zhang Gonggong have already spoken, and the slave and maid will not say much!" The slave maid said one thing first, that is, I heard that Wu Ninghou only has two wives and concubines who have not passed through the door until now, and there are no maids and concubines around him now, so it can be seen that this person is clean and self-conscious! At least it's a good person!" Look at the book

Hearing Zijuan say this, Emperor Wanli and several people laughed! Emperor Wanli also said, "Is this also an advantage?"

But they didn't see Empress Dowager Li nodding slightly! The current rules are that men are allowed to take concubines, and women are also acceptable. But acceptance doesn't mean willingness! And in the eyes of women, greedy and lustful people are not good things, and they must not be entrusted with important tasks!
