Zhu Youzhi got Liu Jian's affirmation and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

It seems that Zhu Youzhu is not completely sure that Zhang Zhou is admitted to the Jinshi, which is equivalent to leaving a back door for Zhang Zhou.

"I have one more thing, that is, about Zhang Zhou, the credit of this mighty heavenly gunpowder, I want to write it down to him, if he has any meritorious service for the court in the future, it will be counted together. What are the opinions of the secretaries? ”

Zhu Youzhu is doing it step by step.

Zhang Mao listened to this proposal and felt that there was no problem at all.

Anyway, he has already begun to bind to Zhang Zhou, and Zhang Mao doesn't think that Zhang Zhou is the kind of martial artist who leads the army, and will not threaten the status of the British government.

When the three Wenchen heard this, their hearts felt as if they had been pierced into a nail.

Why does it sound so uncomfortable? Meritorious, remember first? Isn't it a reward for meritorious deeds that he was asked to pay tribute before?

Xie Qian said: "Your Majesty, then this Zhang Gongsheng, will he serve the court in the future with Confucianism, or serve the court in the army?" ”

On the one hand, he wanted Zhang Zhou to become a leader, and on the other hand, he was given credit for martial arts...... Your Majesty, are we going a little too far?

Zhu Youzhu said: "Is the imperial court so clear about Wenchen or Wuxun? Could it be that as soon as he is a civil servant, he can't have military exploits? I'm not going to reward him rashly, I'm just going to write it down for him first, can't I do it? ”

Xie Qian wanted to say something, but seeing that Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng didn't say anything, he didn't mention it anymore.

This kind of thing......

When the emperor really wants to award a reward to Zhang Zhou, it is not too late to fight.

The whole court is now unfamiliar with Zhang Zhou.

Xie Qian was also thinking, only once had a chance to meet this kid, and he was fooled by his sloppy eyes and pretending to be a ghost, and now it seems that the first thing he said was about the battle in the northwest, and the result was as he expected.

But the second thing...... About Peng Quan...... Will it be as he says?

Doesn't that mean that the second child of the Zhang family is going to be unlucky?

"Since the few Qing families don't have any opinions, let's do this first." Zhu Youzhu said, "Go back and let the military department record his exploits, and there is no need to announce it to the world." ”

Ma Wensheng arched his hand: "Yes." ”

……

……

This concludes the Council of the Inner Court.

Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng each gave the emperor face.

Now they seem to be shaking their spirits, and they have a good fight with the emperor in the upcoming matter of Wang Yue and Zhu Fengcijue.

But the emperor seemed to have forgotten about this, nodded and said: "Today, I will talk to a few Qing families about this, go and summon Chengguo Gong in, and I will tell him a few words about the use of troops in the northwest." ”

Several ministers were curious.

That's ...... Finished?

Shouldn't the matter of Wang Yue and Zhu Feng's titles be focused on?

Xie Qian reminded: "Your Majesty, isn't it...... Anything missing? ”

Zhu Youji was still whispering something to Dai Yi, and when he heard this, he looked back at Xie Qian and said, "Xie Ge always talks about Wang Weining and Zhu Zhijie?" I'll talk about it when I get back to the court. ”

These people seem to understand.

In the name of discussing Wang Yue and Zhu Feng's official promotion, the emperor "tricked" them into coming to the inner court, but only talked about letting Zhang Zhou go out of office, remembering merits, and Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, to go to the northwest.

They seem to figure it out now, too.

What Wang Yue and Zhu Feng's, they can't get the knight, what the emperor really doesn't care about at all!

The title of the Ming Dynasty is so worthless, do you have to reward them one by one?

What the emperor cares about the most is Zhang Bingkuan, whom he loves!

Careless.

I thought that a little tolerance on Zhang Zhou's issue would make the emperor relax on the issue of Wang Yue and Zhu Feng, but the emperor didn't want to talk to us about Wang Yue and Zhu Feng at all.

We are the same goal to the outside world, but we didn't find the right goal!?

"A few secretaries, I asked you to be sent out of the palace, and today's deliberations don't need to be publicized to the public. Please. Zhu Youzhi directly issued an eviction order.

……

……

The four of them walked out of the Qianqing Palace, and the only person who guided them was a serving official who was studying in the celebrant supervisor, who was young and didn't know each other.

"What do you think?"

On the way out of the palace, Xie Qian directly asked Ma Wensheng on the side.

Xie Qian wants to discuss something with Liu Jian, and he will have a lot of time after returning to the cabinet duty, and only by taking advantage of this time can he communicate more with Ma Wensheng.

Ma Wensheng said: "Yu Qiao, you say." ”

Xie Qian smiled, he talked a lot and was straightforward, and said as if he was laughing: "Your Majesty is more important than Zhang Gongsheng, not Wang Weining." That's what it means, right? ”

Ma Wensheng nodded slightly, as if agreeing with this statement.

"Wang Weining will have a knighthood in the future, and he won't have too much communication with me, but after Zhang Gongsheng entered the court, he and I were colleagues, and they were under us, but their opinions could be directly heard by the heavens, which was a bit of a plan outside the court."

Xie Qian sighed.

This is also reminding Ma Wensheng that Zhang Zhou's influence on the court in the future is much greater than that of Wang Weining.

Otherwise, why did Wang Weining tie up Zhang Zhou, not Zhang Zhou and Wang Weining?

Ma Wensheng looked at Liu Jian first, and saw that Liu Jian was walking with his head bored, only listening and not wanting to express his opinion, so he said: "In all dynasties, it is difficult to eradicate close ministers, if close ministers are born in Confucianism and have not done anything that damages the law of the imperial court, in fact, there is no need to strictly guard against it. It's better to be blocked than to be sparse. ”

Xie Qian smiled: "Then Ma Butang, you are here to soothe?" ”

He almost said that the horse was speaking lightly.

Feelings: You are the secretary of the military department, you are in power, not the emperor's adviser, right?

But we, the cabinet members, are called good, what are the middle halls, auxiliary ministers, and hidden ministers, but can they be compared with the previous prime ministers? We are the Emperor's advisors!

Zhang Zhou's status as a close minister of the emperor has the most direct impact on our cabinet.

You can't stand and talk without backache, right?

Liu Jian could see that Xie Qian was raising the bar, so he spoke: "Zhang Bingkuan has not officially entered the court, and now it is too early to say that he has an impact on the court. Or wait for the results of this year's spring to come...... I didn't ask about Jian Changbo and Jian Changwei's command of Peng Quan. ”

Xie Qian said with a smile: "Peng Quan will be escorted to Beijing in a few days, and it is estimated that he will also be in prison and accompany his relatives of the Zhang family." ”

As he spoke.

There were two people on the opposite side, the eunuch in front of him was the eunuch, and the one who followed behind was Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo.

The two sides did not meet officially, but only greeted each other from afar.

Xie Qian said: "The first son joined the army, the stepfather went into battle, and the prince of Cheng Guo is a father and son soldier who wants to go into battle, and the horse leather shroud!" ”

Zhang Mao and Ma Wensheng looked at Xie Qian at the same time.

That look seemed to say, you thank Yu Qiao for talking a lot.

……

……

Inside the Qingning Palace.

Zhu Youzhu took Zhang Zhou to greet the Empress Dowager Zhou, but Zhu Youzhu didn't let Zhang Zhou come alone, because he was afraid that the Empress Dowager Zhou would mention the matter of the concubine to Zhang Zhou alone.

"Very good, Gongyuan came out, and he was in a lot of spirits. It seems that high school is in sight. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Zhang Zhou with a smile.

Zhang Zhou hurriedly humbled himself: "I don't dare to ask for anything in high school." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said: "Imperial grandmother, even if Bingkuan is not a jinshi, I have also discussed with the ministers, let him enter the Hanlin Academy to give him the post of review, so that he can have the opportunity to serve the imperial court." ”

"Hallim review? Very good. Empress Dowager Zhou is also very supportive of this.

It's just a matter of a preacher.

Since the Chenghua period, it has become the emperor's prerogative to pass on the official, and it is polite to give the official to whoever you want, and to inform the minister of two sentences.

"But if you can enter the court as a jinshi, you can still calm down other people's discussions." Empress Dowager Zhou reminded, "This should also be the emperor's wish, right?" ”

"yes."

Zhu Youzhu nodded.

Give a Hanlin review, Zhang Zhou is always just a lifter, and if he wants to go up in the future, it will inevitably involve things such as ripping, and he can't be promoted again if he rises to a certain level.

Even if it is for missionaries, there will be a problem of high starting points but low expectations.

Counting on someone to be a Hanlin Bachelor? Or to be a cabinet minister? There are always limitations to being an official.

"But Grandmother Huang, I feel that if Bingkuan fails this test, it would be a pity to let him wait for another three years." Zhu Youzhu also said very clearly.

It's just a stopgap measure.

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and nodded, and then said: "Emperor, I heard that there are many people who have been very close to Bingkuan recently, and the Mourning family also wanted the Zhou family to move around with him more, but I heard that the two nephews of the Mourning family just went there once, and they didn't go again, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Zhou, he obviously didn't know about it.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Yes, the Empress Dowager." ”

"It's too unusual, the Northwest uses soldiers, and they can miss such a good training opportunity." Empress Dowager Zhou heard that Zhu Feng was not a weapon, and if she followed Wang Yue to the northwest, she could be famous, and she was angry.

Relatives get knights, and martial arts lords get knights, can that be the same?

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "The mourning family is old, and I only hope that the emperor can remember the Zhou family." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Youzhu agreed, but he didn't think so in his heart.

For the use of relatives, the emperor is still very cautious, don't look at Zhu Feng out of tune, but they are the children of the Chengguo family, and the matter of going into battle to kill the enemy is the matter of the children of the Wuxun family.

"Okay, Bingkuan, you have time, go and see Chang Ningbo, I won't say much about the rest, the mourning family is going to worship the Buddha!"

Although the Empress Dowager Zhou did not say it explicitly.

But Zhang Zhou also heard that about finding a woman for the emperor, Empress Dowager Zhou should have hinted at her younger brother Zhou Yu.

Since you can't say it in front of the emperor, you have to change to outside the palace and go to Zhou Yu to say.

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, this old lady ...... It's deceitful!

……

……

On the morning of the second day after Zhang Zhou entered the palace, he still talked with the emperor for a long time, and when it was close to noon, he was finally able to leave the palace.

What kind of gymnastics, beautiful wife and concubine, wife and children hot kang, Zhang Zhou didn't have the heart to think about it.

He had a thought right now.

Go home and sleep.

But leaving the palace is not going alone, but also taking Zhu Fu with him, the emperor means to let Zhang Zhou "teach Zhu Fu face-to-face" on the way out of the palace, obviously the emperor has no confidence in Zhu Fu.

"Mr. Zhang, His Majesty said before, let you give more pointers, you can see ......"

Zhu Fu was very respectful to Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou suddenly felt that this Lao Tzu seemed to be more humble than his son.

He and Zhu Feng can still be commensurate with friends and brothers, chatting and farting, and Zhu Fu saw him, it was completely a subordinate meeting a superior, and the compliment from his bones was not pretended.

Zhang Zhou reluctantly smiled and said: "There is nothing to guide below, marching and fighting, I don't understand." ”

Zhu Fu was very surprised, he didn't have much contact with Zhang Zhou, and he didn't know what was going on.

Xiao Jing next to him said with a smile: "Cheng Guogong, you don't know Mr. Zhang's personality, he is like this, he can accommodate a million soldiers in his chest, but he has to say that he can't do it." The same is true in the presence of His Majesty. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Fu was taken aback.

Can it still be like this?

In front of the emperor, others pretend to be awesome as much as possible, but this one likes to pretend to be a bear?

But think about it again, people pretend to be bears and have the capital to pretend to be bears.

"Mr. Zhang, if you say two words casually, it can affect the will of heaven and the court situation, and I just want to get your guidance, you can say a few words casually, or benefit for life!" Zhu Fu continued to say in a stammering tone.

Zhang Zhou glanced at the old boy.

Thinking that Zhu Fu in history had to kneel down when he saw Jiang Bin and other close men, he also understood that it was difficult for the Chengguo Mansion to produce people with too backbone.

Zhang Zhou was also thinking.

If I am considered a close person, then what are those people in the Zhengde period?

"Let's keep it." Zhang Zhoudao.

"Huh?" Zhu Fu was puzzled, "What do you mean ......?"

Zhang Zhou's face was indifferent: "Whether it is the Chengguo Mansion or the situation in the northwest, isn't it all a situation of success?" No fault is merit, what else can it be? ”

"Uh...... Yes, yes. After all, Zhu Fu is not a cultural person, so he has to think about it a little bit to think about whether there is a metaphor behind it.

Xiao Jing explained with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, this is reminding you that this is an errand that can be completed casually as long as you don't rush in and stay in the city, and whoever goes is the same, it is because of Your Majesty and Mr. Zhang's appreciation of your Chengguo Mansion that you have this opportunity." You should be grateful to Dade and not fail to live up to the expectations of His Majesty and Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhu Fu said as if he had suddenly realized: "Your Majesty's kindness to my Chengguo Mansion is difficult for me to repay in my life. Mr. Zhang's mention to the dog, as well as to our people, is also a reinvention of Entong. ”

Zhang Zhou frowned again when he heard this.

He thought about it, Zhu Feng is more realistic, this father is too hypocritical, it may be that Zhu Feng has not been polished by officialdom, and he still has a reckless side.

Zhu Fu is just because the edges and corners have been smoothed out, and the officialdom is familiar with dealing with sloppy horses.

All the way to the gate of the palace.

Zhu Fu was about to go to the Governor's Mansion, while Zhang Zhou was going to take the carriage from Dongchang home.

"Grandpa Xiao, don't pass?" Zhang Zhou arched his hand.

Xiao Jingxian smiled at Zhu Fu and said, "Chengguo Gong, please." ”

Zhu Fuben also wanted to walk with Zhang Zhou for a while, and then listen to the teachings, but at this time he had to get into his own carriage.

Wait until he's gone.

Xiao Jingcai reminded Zhang Zhou: "There is a ...... The not-so-good thing is about Jian Changbo. Last night, the queen asked our family to come over and ask our family to help pass a message...... If there is really a ground movement, contact Jian Changbo to see if you can give ...... Let's make peace. ”

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Haven't everything been made clear?" If there is really a ground movement, His Majesty will send Jian Changbo to the northwest to serve in the army? ”

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Although the case has been decided, but the matter is not out of the Qianqing Palace, no one dares to say anything about such things in advance." The queen actually has something else, in fact, it is hope...... You can take a little more and don't ...... What is the misunderstanding. The queen also specially instructed Shou Ninghou to send a condolence gift when she turned around, just know it in your heart. ”
