The strategy Zhang Zhou gave, what it is, he won't explain, even if Zhang Heling blows his beard and stares, it's useless.

That's a hint.

If the emperor took the concubine himself, it would be too unlevel.

Either the Empress Dowager or Empress Zhang or the Zhang family will come......

If you want to achieve the necessary conditions, you need Zhang Zhou to thread the needle behind your back, and after the fact, you have to look like everything has nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Zhang, what did you say to Shou Ninghou before?"

On the way back, Sun Shangqi, who was driving the car, was very concerned about this problem.

It involves how he will go on a business trip in the future.

Zhang Zhou said: "It's nothing, we talked about it briefly, by the way, I will return this gift to Your Majesty for me, and let Gonggong Xiao go." Tell Your Majesty, just say that what the queen asked me to do, it is difficult for me to do, so I can only return this gift. ”

"This ......"

Sun Shangqi was very embarrassed.

He was thinking, this gift is returned to the queen, what does it mean to return it to the emperor?

Zhang Zhou looked very leisurely, in the carriage, his hand was holding Wang Mingshan's waist, and the feeling of the slender tentacles was not better than that of the girl in the Teaching Workshop Division?

It's a pity.

I finally had the opportunity to see the Ming Fengyue, but it seems that I missed it.

"Send it back, I will do things for Your Majesty or the court, what I want is to do as many things as I want, and if I receive a reward for what I can't do, my heart will be uneasy. There is also a way to steal, how much more am I a courtier? ”

“……”

Sun Shangqi was speechless.

How can this be compared to robbers?

Sun Shangqi was also worried in his heart, he originally wanted to learn a little strategy from Zhang Zhou, a clever person, but he found that he really couldn't learn a lot of things, if someone really gave him these things, wouldn't he hurry up and take them home?

You can spit it out...... Doesn't it hurt?

……

……

Qianqing Palace, late at night.

Zhu Youzhu is still reviewing the recital, he has not gone to Kunning Palace in the past few days, and in his opinion, he will wait until Zhang Yanling's matter is concluded.

"Your Majesty......"

Xiao Jing appeared in front of him and brought the wooden box that Zhang Zhou gave to Sun Shangqi to the emperor intact.

"What is this?" Zhu Youzhu frowned.

Xiao Jing only then said that the Marquis of Shouning invited Zhang Zhou, and also explained that this was given to Zhang Zhou by Empress Zhang.

Zhu Youzhu said with a little annoyance: "The queen doesn't ask me about Trillium, why do you want to ask Bingkuan?" I also sent these to Bingkuan, so that Bingkuan would take care of other things when he did things in the future, and he wouldn't mention it to me if he had a big plan? ”

Hearing the emperor's words, Xiao Jing didn't even dare to breathe.

Originally, Xiao Jing didn't think too much about the reason why Zhang Zhou gave these gifts back, but now he seemed to think, could it be that Zhang Zhou was deliberately provoking the relationship between the emperor and the empress?

Zhang Zhou shouldn't do this, right?

But the emperor's anger is real.

"Your Majesty is angry." Dai Yi, who was still at the prescription table not far away, hurriedly went over to persuade him.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Bingkuan can know the will of heaven, and he can always remind me and let me be on guard, and he gave me a lot of advice that the courtiers and you dare not mention, and it is precisely because he is not bound by secular etiquette that he can be honest with me, and I will feel that he is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty." And now, the queen wants to turn Bingkuan into a villain who tends to be inflammatory, didn't the queen think about the consequences when she did this? ”

At this time, Dai Yi and Xiao Jing seemed to understand why the emperor was so angry.

Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhang means is that he loves money but takes it in a good way, and he will not take anything he can't do." ”

"He did the right thing." Zhu Youzhu said, "If you have a mind to do things, what is the difference between him and a courtier?" In fact, what I am most afraid of is that after he became an official in the court, he became moderate and conservative in order to echo his colleagues. I don't want him to be humiliated by the powerful, and tell him that if someone gives him a gift and asks him to do something, he can accept the gift, but he is not allowed to do anything to those people! ”

Originally, Dai Yi and Xiao Jing thought that the emperor was going to say that someone was going to give gifts and ask Zhang Zhou to return all the gifts or hand them over.

As a result, they were all surprised when they heard what the emperor said.

Can it still be like this?

Let Zhang Zhou collect money and not do anything?

"Over time, those people will naturally not go to him again! However, if he doesn't accept it, it will be temporarily managed by the East Factory. Zhu Youzhu probably thinks that Zhang Zhou's character is very good, and he will not accept unwarranted money, after all, even what the queen gave can be returned, which is not the strength that ordinary people can have.

So he added.

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly.

Why is there still a matter of the East Factory?

Dai Yi asked: "Your Majesty, these ......?"

"Put it here, and when the matter of Trillium is decided, let the queen take it back by herself! Not shameful enough! ”

Zhu Youzhi seemed to feel that his wife was very disagreeable, and he was simply smearing his husband's face.

Xiao Jing next to him looked a little jealous, after all, he was the one who threaded the needle between the queen and Zhang Zhou, if the emperor knew about it...... Then he may have to be transferred to another position, or he may have to take over his post and stay idle.

……

……

Early the next morning.

The court discussion was coming to an end, and when it was time to disperse the dynasty, Zhu Youzhu seemed to think of something, and said to the ministers present: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have said that Jian Changbo has recently been detained in Beizhen Fusi, do you all know?" ”

Of course, the ministers all knew about it, but Zhang Yanling was imprisoned by the emperor, which was a good thing.

I want to see the excitement, who will mention it?

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, but because there is a small local thing to plunder the people's wealth in the name of Jianchangbo? ”

"Yes and no."

Zhu Youji's tone was very simple, "Actually, someone told me that God may punish me for my favor to Zhang's relatives. That's why I had to. ”

The ministers present were in an uproar.

Can it still be like this?

Who mentioned that to the emperor? It's an expert!

Knowing that the emperor favored the Zhang family brothers, it was impossible to take the Zhang family brothers under the knife, and simply said things about the emperor's most jealous providence, but if this kind of thing is not done well, it is easy to fold yourself in.

It's as if the fire in Qingning Palace is thought to be Li Guang's sin, and it is also because the ministers have been mentioning in front of the emperor that Li Guang should not repair Yuxiu Pavilion, and the Empress Dowager Zhou is fanning the flames behind her back...... It's not a fire that can be forcibly connected.

How sure is the person who proposed to the emperor that the emperor could feel that something must be related to Zhang Yanling's misdeeds?

Liu Jian continued to ask: "Your Majesty, I don't know who it is and what is the matter?" ”

"Don't ask about that." Zhu Youzhu didn't say that this was proposed by Zhang Zhou, and he didn't want to raise Zhang Zhou to too high a position before Zhang Zhou came out.

But most of the ministers present actually thought of Zhang Gongsheng, who could predict almost everything accurately.

Apart from him, who else can make the emperor so resolute on the issue of the Zhang family now?

"As for the matter, it is likely that there will be a ground movement in Jianchangwei, Jianchang Mansion, and Jianchang County, ladies and gentlemen, I put my words here, I have been a little arrogant to the Zhang family relatives in the past few years, but after all, it is my in-laws and relatives, if it is because of my appointment of them that the heavens are angry, then I will also put things right in time. That's it! Retreat! ”

The emperor just put the words down, didn't explain much, got up and left.

……

……

When the emperor left, the ministers were not surprised to start talking.

"Recently, His Majesty casually threw out a thing, it is so sensational, and there is a movement in the place, which is obviously expected by Gongsheng surnamed Zhang, he can really spy on the heavens, and every situation can be controlled by him?"

This time, it was the general political envoy Yuan Shouzhi.

And Yuan Shouzhi deliberately said this loudly when the ministers had not left the noon gate, so that the ministers present could hear it.

Tu Yun went over and reminded him in a low voice, which roughly meant that we would talk about it on the way out of the palace.

Because Zhang Zhou was targeting Zhang Yanling and the Zhang family's relatives this time, the ministers did not resist as much as the previous times.

"Elder Liu Ge, what do you say?" Out of the noon gate, a group of people still surrounded Liu Jian and Xie Qian.

This will reflect the disadvantage of Li Dongyang's absence, if Li Dongyang is there, Li Dongyang can come out to set the scene, and there is no need for Liu Jian to speak.

And Xie Qian usually laughed and scolded too much, so that he couldn't get angry in front of people.

Liu Jian said: "If there is something, it is not too late to make amends for the dead, I just hope that God will not be angry with the people." ”

Meaning, if the ground movement is mild, just a few shocks, that's a good thing for us.

The emperor knew the warning from heaven to him, and also punished Zhang Yanling, even if someone jumped out of the framework of the imperial court to give the emperor the words of the scholar, there would be no loss for us.

"Yes!"

This time, Tu Tu came out and spoke, "The people are safe, the court is safe, and we can also be at ease." Ladies and gentlemen, don't talk about it too much, just wait a few days to see if there is such a thing. ”

Yuan Shouzhi came out of the pile of people again and asked, "Can the matter of the earth move be repeated again and again?" Since ancient times, it has not been heard of. ”

Liu Jian also shook his head and stopped saying anything to this group of people.

From the perspective of common sense, it is indeed impossible for people to know about the movement of the earth in advance, let alone be said again and again, but some people dare to predict it, and they can say it every time...... Who is this reasonable?

The orphan certificate does not stand, but is it an orphan certificate now?

Even Liu Jian began to doubt, this Zhang Bingkuan wouldn't really have great powers, right?

This kind of person is not aggressive.

……

……

The path Liu Jian and Xie Qian have to take is different from these people.

When the two arrived at the cabinet room, Xie Qian asked with a smile: "If Zhang Bingkuan enters the court, then how should we get along with him?" Even if his official position is meagre, this court can have a place for him! ”

Xie Qian can also see it now.

The combined influence of the ministers may not be as great as Zhang Zhou alone.

"What do you think of Yu Qiao?"

Liu Jian asked rhetorically.

Xie Qian shook his head: "It's Li Guang or Li Guang, it's Wenchen or not Wenchen." If you make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, you can also be loyal to the monarch and the country, but once you become a close servant, it means that you are not tolerated by the world, and you are not partial for a while, how can you be impartial in everything? If it goes on like this, or the subjects should only have Zhang Zhou, but don't know that there is a court, it should be curbed. ”

"How?" Liu Jian asked another question about soul torture.

Xie Qian was stunned.

He could see from Liu Jian's reaction that his own meaning was to try to limit it as much as possible.

And Liu Jian, as the first assistant, probably wanted to completely "strangle" Zhang Zhou, and wanted to strangle Zhang Zhou's career to death.
