Zhang Zhou wanted to entertain the women and children of Zhu Youji's family.

After dark in the afternoon, he followed Zhu Youzhi back to the Qianqing Palace, at this time Zhu Youzhu drank two glasses of wine, his face was ruddy and a little drunk, but he asked Dai Yi to show Zhang Zhou a bunch of notes that he was embarrassed to take out before.

"Bingkuan, I don't want to mention this to you, in the past two months, Jiubian has used a lot of troops, but most of them are also out of my intentions, and people in the court who don't understand their intentions have questioned one after another, and they are annoyed. Look. ”

Immediately, he asked Dai Yi to take a few copies of the song and show it to Zhang Zhou.

In fact, Zhang Zhou probably knows it without looking at it.

From the use of troops in the partial pass, to the current use of troops in Liaodong, the emperor listened to his opinions and made his own opinions, and had almost nothing to do with the courtiers in terms of the strategy of sending troops, and the civil officials felt that the emperor repeatedly skipped the court to do things, no matter what the emperor did right or wrong, they would question it, and advise the emperor to correct his mentality and refer to the opinions of the ministers and so on.

There are also "biases" in the use of troops in Liaodong and Ningyuan.

The Bitou Pass was blown up by Wang Yue, and Ning Yuan is emperor sent three people who were very controversial in the army to lead the troops, or did he guard against Duoyan Sanwei taking the initiative to raid...... No matter how you look at it, it's not a normal dispatch of troops.

Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty, it was the ministers who caused all this and blocked Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Youzhu borrowed a little wine, sat on the chair very loosely, waved his hand and said: "This has nothing to do with you, you have always been for me, for Daming, there is no fault, why do you want to admit your mistakes to me?" ”

Dai Yi said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, it is those ministers who are ignorant of the world, and your proposal so far has made all the towns on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty stable, and the soldiers are also united." ”

Is it?

Zhang Zhou almost wanted to say, this is because he forgot that after the battle of Yatou Pass, Dayan Khan and Duoyan Sanwei still dared to come to invade the territory and plunder people and animals, right?

"Your Majesty, if the minister has any opinion on this, you might as well let the minister face it and answer their questions, and the minister is willing to share your Majesty's worries."

Zhang Zhou can't help but be interested.

Since the emperor mentioned this matter to him, the emperor had the intention of letting him give advice.

In fact, it is very simple to solve this kind of thing, that is, to find a person who "knows how to do" to explain it to those ministers, regardless of whether the theory mentioned by the person can be accepted by those ministers, at least in the matter of transferring contradictions, the effect is very significant.

Now those ministers are targeting the "stubborn" emperor, and if he goes out to argue with the minister, the minister will definitely target him.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Bingkuan, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to let you answer questions to those ministers, and no matter what you say, they won't listen." ”

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "It's man-made, if all this is caused by the minister, and the minister can't avoid it, they will feel that His Majesty is shielding the minister, and the attitude towards the minister will be even more unkind." Didn't Your Majesty still say that you want the minister to be a good official in the future? ”

You, the emperor, didn't hide the existence of me, a courtier, even if those ministers are targeting you now, don't they know that I am making plans behind it?

You also said that you want to help me become an official, and your biased attitude towards me is the biggest "resistance" that affects my career.

Of course, this resistance is only relative to the attitude of those civil servants, and from another point of view, fools do not want the absolute trust of the emperor.

No matter what those civil servants think, what those civil ministers mean is that any civil official who rises above him must be suppressed regardless of right or wrong, and everything must be in accordance with their rules of seniority, if according to their standards, I will not mix in the officialdom for twenty or thirty years, and I don't want to become the pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

Playing with Wenchen?

Joke.

There is the absolute trust of the emperor and the crown prince, and those who still play with those civil officials, but they can't think of it.

Dai Yi saw that Zhu Youzhu was hesitant, and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid also thinks that Mr. Zhang's words are reasonable, so it is better to ...... Let him try? ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhu reluctantly nodded and said: "Okay, you come to the palace early tomorrow morning and talk to them about this matter, you can rest assured, if they have something difficult for you, I will not sit idly by." ”

……

……

Zhang Zhou felt that he was going to go to the Confucianism.

As a new science and technology scholar, it is not the first time to argue with the ministers in the court, but before he was only defending himself involved in the case, it was not a head-to-head confrontation with the minister, but this time it was different, he had to directly argue with the minister about the use of troops in the northwest and eastern Liaodong.

It's still very challenging.

When she returned home that night, Jiang Pingyu was still teaching two new maids to do things, and the two new maids were named Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice.

The spring, summer, autumn and winter are all gathered at once, plus the two maids brought by Wang Mingshan, there are already six women who can work in Zhang Zhou's mansion, plus the nursing home or something, the population is close to the scale of twenty people, not counting the brocade guards who help keep vigil and watch the home outside.

"Sir, have you been drinking?" Jiang Pingyu took Zhang Zhou's coat and felt the smell of alcohol.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "After winning the champion, there is a lot of entertainment, during the day is a grace banquet, and in the afternoon I go to the palace to accompany His Majesty, the queen and the empress dowager, just a few drinks, there is no drunkness." ”

Think everyone is like your father, a wine vat?

Old man Jiang was a little inferior when he drank with me, but he could be drunk by any person outside, why did this guy like to come and drink with me, it wasn't because he felt the pressure of those drunkards when they faced him for the first time?

"Go to bed early, I'll go to the palace early tomorrow morning." Zhang Zhoudao, "Your Majesty also gave me a court uniform, which was revised by the History Museum of the Sixth Grade, and I will be an official of the Hanlin Academy in the future." ”

Jiang Pingyu said happily: "Then the master will officially become an official?" It's called Big Dengko. Didn't the master say that he still wanted a little Dengke? In the past two days, the concubine has taught the sister of the Wang family a lot of things, and she is already waiting for you in the room tonight. ”

"This ......"

Only then did Zhang Zhou remember that he had previously mentioned the matter of going to the big Dengke and then the small Dengke.

But I'm busy with so many things today, how can I remember? Besides, I'm going to go to the palace early tomorrow morning to fight the Confucianism, if I'm busy until late tonight, I can't sleep well and I don't have energy tomorrow morning.

"Oh, madam, you are so strange, why do you want to push your husband on someone else's embroidered couch?" Zhang Zhou said with emotion.

Jiang Pingyu's eyes widened.

Is my husband changing sex today? This kind of thing actually came to ask her?

Zhang Zhou smiled: "I'm too tired today, let's put it on tomorrow first." She's ...... tomorrow It should be convenient, right? ”

"Yes, no problem. Then the old man will be back early tomorrow. Jiang Pingyu instructed.

"Well, I'll come back when I'm done, and I'll be back at noon, and I'll not go anywhere early the day after tomorrow, practicing gymnastics, how can I be diligent?"

Zhang Zhou suddenly became confident again.

Although I can't do too much work tonight, I still have to sleep well with my wife, and I don't enjoy the warm fragrance of the high bed and soft pillows, which is simply ashamed to cross it.

……

……

Early the next morning.

Zhang Zhou changed into his new court clothes and went out with Wang Mingshan.

Wang Mingshan didn't mind at all about being released by Zhang Zhou last night, even if Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing gave her some guidance recently, she didn't understand what impact this had on her life.

Isn't it just sleeping?

Where to sleep is not to sleep? How to sleep and not sleep?

was sent to Zhang's house by his grandfather and father, is it more tiring to rest on the embroidered couch than to follow up behind Zhang Zhou's ass every day?

Inside the Royal Palace.

In front of the Fengtian Palace, the ministers entered the palace early, and they didn't know what would happen in the court today, but when they saw Zhang Zhou arrive under Xiao Jing's guidance, and Zhang Zhou was wearing an official uniform that should have been given in two days.

Some of them seem to realize that today's court discussion will not be too simple.

"Bingkuan, meet again!"

Zhang Zhouli was on the side of the civil officials, and he seemed to be alone, and the civil ministers who could come to Fengtian Hall to discuss matters would deliberately distance themselves from him.

But there was nothing shy about Wuxun's side, and Zhang Mao was even more enthusiastic to greet Zhang Zhou to Wuxun's side, and also introduced several lords around him.

"Bingkuan is a capable person, the champion of the Ming Dynasty, the three yuan and the first, will definitely be in and out of the phase in the future, look at how decent this official uniform is? It's really worthy of your majestic posture......"

Zhang Mao touted people, and he didn't feel blushing at all.

And Wu Xun seemed to think that Zhang Mao was very reasonable, and he nodded a lot of words, which made it very uncomfortable for those civil officials not far away.

The sand in our eyes is a golden pimple on Wu Xun's side?

……

……

The court meeting begins.

Zhang Zhou was not surprised, he still stood at the end of Wenchen, and he was standing together with several of the six sections.

The content of the discussion at the beginning of the court meeting involved the palaces in various places, natural disasters and man-made disasters, as well as local reports related to robbers and looting, etc., and the thorny matters of the six departments were all put into the second step first, as for Zhang Zhou, he just stood behind and listened, and he was not called, the matter had nothing to do with him, and there was no need for him to come out and mix in any opinions.

The court passed the middle section.

Zhu Youzhu personally raised the issue of the use of troops on the nine sides.

“…… In the first month of the year, I asked Wang Weining to prepare for war in the border pass, and in February, the border of Diyi had begun to stop, but after entering March, Duoyan Sanwei and the little prince of Tatar still did not think about the ministers, and there were successive actions of disturbing the people in the border of Koubian, and I had a lot of dispatches and defenses in various places on the nine sides in these two months, and you have many doubts about it......"

The ministers present said in their hearts, "You don't need Your Majesty to summarize for us."

As long as you say that you will listen to us in the future and follow our rules, then no one will question you.

You listen to us, and we still have to question, which means that we ourselves question ourselves?

Zhu Youzhu said: "I don't want to explain too much about the use of soldiers, some things involve the will of heaven, and I don't know if I should leak it in advance." I specially called Zhang Zhou, a new science and technology scholar, and he was involved in some things, especially the good news, he made great contributions, so if you have any doubts, ask him. ”

"Wow."

The emperor's words fell, and the court exploded instantly.

The emperor didn't explain it himself, so he actually asked us to ask Zhang Zhou's kid?

No wonder this kid will appear in the court today, and he is here to be the emperor's "shield" today?

The ministers here were still discussing in private, and Zhang Zhou, under the eyes of everyone, walked out of the last row of the civil official team and slowly walked to the front of the main hall of the Fengtian Palace, with Liu Jian and Zhang Mao on the left and right.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Zhoudao.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said: "Zhang Qingjia, you don't have to be formal, there are some things today, you have to tell your ministers, I actually don't know some things very clearly." Let's just answer the questions together. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Zhouxian bowed his hand respectfully.

Then he turned sideways to look at the civil officials present.

He didn't need to look at Wuxun, just from the previous attitude of Zhang Mao and others towards him, he could also see that Wuxun's power to participate in politics and discussion in the court was not as good as him.

During the Hongzhi period, Xungui was happy to be a dog in the court, expecting them to come out and take the lead?

Zhang Zhou cleared his throat, and said loudly in a calm tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "I know that I am shallow in my knowledge, and I can't compare with your elders and ministers, but I also have some opinions on the use of soldiers. I was courteous here first. ”

Just from this opening.

Even some people who like to be picky, such as Xie Qian, also think that Zhang Zhou is quite "acquainted".

actually knew that admitting mistakes to us first, indicating that he was only a shallow learner.

But no matter what you look like, you kid looks like you're showing off your might with us.

We feel you are, you are! Less fucking explanations! This is called stereotyped prejudice, and the cause planted should have today's results, and you will not be able to change it for a while!

Xie Qianling sharpened his teeth, and asked with a smile first, "Providence?" Are you saying that you are using the providence of God to assist Your Majesty and take care of the affairs of the court? ”

Xie Qian looked like a master of sophistry, he didn't ask about the Liaodong war, he first grabbed the statement about "providence" in Zhang Zhou's words, and said that Zhang Zhou helped the emperor to give advice, and said that it was a treacherous move to bewitch the emperor with the words of Fang Shi.

Zhang Zhou smiled.

Debates, regardless of the cause and outcome, only set a position first, and first deduct the hat, is indeed the first element of sophistry, putting the opponent at the bottom of public opinion, and then preaching in the tone of the teller in the upwind direction.

It's like a debate on a college campus.

However, as an educator, he used to be the organizer and initiator of this kind of debate, and today he is going to debate.

Opponents...... Looks pretty strong.

However, if it is compared with the debate masters cultivated in the future information explosion era, it is really not necessary to be strong or weak.

Zhang Zhou was laughing in his heart.

Elder Xie Ge, how many books of philosophical speculation have you read? How are the theories of existentialism, materialism, liberalism, and conservatism studied?

"Yes Xie Ge Lao, you are right, I am using the will of heaven to advise Your Majesty, and I have talked a lot about strange things, sometimes even I don't know if this will really be fulfilled, so sometimes when I think about it, I am also very frightened in my heart, for fear that if I take a wrong step, it will be easy to recover." Zhang Zhou's tone was calm and said to Xie Qian.

"Huh?"

Xie Qian also listened.

This kid......

Just admit it?

I'm too easy to gain the upper hand in public opinion, right? Is this kid going to admit defeat? You don't understand the truth of the strange power of the gods?

With the will of heaven to assist in governing the country, do you want others not to know that you are a courtier?

Zhang Zhou took advantage of Xie Qian's surprise and was still pondering what Zhang Zhou's intention was, then turned to Zhu Youzhi and solemnly admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, the ministers always advise with the will of heaven, and even the use of troops is also involved, or there is a suspicion of causing trouble to the government and government, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" ”

Admit a mistake? No, this is a confession?

This......

No matter how much Xie Qian knew how to debate, he was a little unprepared by what was in front of him.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said: "Zhang Qingjia, you don't have to blame yourself, the will of heaven already exists, otherwise why since ancient times, the king's affairs and courtiers' words and deeds have mostly been judged by the way of heaven?" Moreover, since you have spoken to me, there is not a single thing that you have prophesied that has not been fulfilled, whether it is the will of heaven or the hearts of the people, you can see the fire with penetration, and if you are to blame for this, then I am too dim! ”

Xie Qian heard this.

I couldn't help but close my eyes and sighed in my heart.

I didn't expect that.

It seems that in the first sentence, this kid doesn't admit to himself, admitting that he is a priest and a minister, but the biggest problem is not what he is, but the emperor trusts him, and what's more, this kid's previous repeated advances have not been bad once, even if he uses the will of heaven to fool things, but the question is that since ancient times, the minister himself also likes to talk about the will of heaven?

Otherwise, why after the Qingning Palace disaster, there were hundreds of remarks in the court and the middle of the court, and even these ministers wanted to resign on the grounds of angering the heavens? Even the emperor had to issue an edict because of the fire in Qingning Palace.

Everyone doesn't believe it, and they still need to do this kind of thing?

It doesn't matter whether your minister believes it or not, or whether the emperor believes it or not.

The main thing is that the people of Lebanon believe it.

What's even worse now is that whatever Zhang Zhou said, the emperor is also convinced.

Angry or not?

"Elder Xie Ge, you are rightly worried, I really don't know that everything can be said, so I also mentioned it to Your Majesty, if there is anything that cannot be said, please forgive Your Majesty. And in the matter of using troops on the nine sides because of the will of heaven, it has never been a rash advance or an initiative to attack, but a battle at the head of the pass...... The battle situation was a little out of control, and that was also the result of Wei Ninghou's own strategy. I didn't let him blow up the city! It has nothing to do with me. ”

Zhang Zhou is admitting that he is a scholar who speaks, but he is still shirking his responsibility.

Xie Qian didn't figure it out for a while, what kind of routine was this kid?

Why is arguing with this kid make people feel the urge to hit someone?

The tone of this speech...... That annoying gesture, and that very unceremonious way of facing the problem...... Do you understand what the golden mean is? Are there some things and positions that you shouldn't avoid?

Zhu Youzhu said: "At this point, I can also testify for Zhang Qing's family, at that time, Zhang Qing's family only proposed that in mid-February, Tatars may violate the border in the partial pass, and also provided the mighty heavenly gunpowder, craftsmen and materials for making heavenly gunpowder, which were personally brought to the partial pass by Wang Weining, as for how to use the soldiers, Zhang Qing's family did not participate too much, and he was still in the tribute courtyard at that time. ”

This made Xie Qian even more powerless.

Zhang Zhou is playing tricks here, but the emperor is behind his back.

Both the debate notary and the referee were on Zhang Zhou's side...... No wonder this kid can play cards without following the routine.
