Zhang Zhou also wanted to establish contact with Wang Shouren before.

However, even if he is the champion and has a relationship with Nian Yi, he is never a person in a circle, even if he was deeply involved in the previous battle against the head, Zhang Zhou was deeply involved, but what others remember more is Wang Yue's desperate bet.

At that time, Zhang Zhou did not have the capital to gather a "second generation official" who was rich in resources in the civil and official circles, if Wang Shouren wanted to mix in the civil and official circles, people would rely on his father's relationship, and they would not be better than him?

But now Zhang Zhou feels that he has capital.

After the Battle of Ningyuan, the blossoming cannon is enough to change the future trend of the war between the Ming and the Tatars, with Wang Shouren's opinion, it is impossible not to realize this, so if you Wang Shouren still want to have military ambitions in the future, don't you want to follow and learn? Or even become the founder of the highest military academy in the Ming Dynasty, or even become a lecturer?

Now it was the emperor who gave Zhang Zhou the permission to transfer people.

As for whether Wang Shouren will cooperate after he comes, that's another matter, and Zhang Zhou is not demanding it now.

……

……

Then Zhang Zhou followed Zhu Youzhu to Kunning Palace and met Queen Zhang and Zhang Heling.

"Queen, who did I invite?"

Zhu Youzhu said with a smile, "Bingkuan's ability can be said to be unmatched by the Ming Dynasty, and even I have to admire it." ”

Empress Zhang changed her previous hostile face, and she would not even face Zhang Zhou with a look of indifference and rejection, but smiled and said with a look of intimacy: "Bingkuan is here?" Sit. ”

It seems that the husband and wife are already one, and their attitude towards Zhang Zhou is also in lockstep.

Zhang Heling walked over, specially moved the chair out for Zhang Zhou, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, please take a seat." ”

"Shou Ninghou, how can this be embarrassing?" Zhang Zhou smiled.

Is Zhang Heling so "well-behaved"? The last time I met Zhang Heling in the Teaching Division, Zhang Heling was bent on throwing Zhang Zhou's face and putting on a show, and he also wanted to use the identity of the noble old cannon to restrain him Zhang Zhou, and as soon as he twisted his face, his mentality could change?

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, are you sure you're not fooling me?

Zhu Youzhu said: "Bingkuan is not polite, you can afford it!" If there is anyone else in the Ming Dynasty who can cultivate the crane age, it must be! Look at what Trillium was like before, since he received your guidance, he can now be on his own. ”

"Yes, yes." Zhang Heling helped, "So I hope that Mr. Zhang can also mention more about Zaixia, and also make Zaixia achieve something in the army." ”

Roughly speaking, this is a request, so I give a good face.

Zhang Zhou didn't have much respect when he saw the attitude given by Zhang Heling, and he was basically perfunctory.

After Zhang Zhou and the emperor and his wife sat down, Zhang Heling sat down to the side and smiled at Zhang Zhou.

Empress Zhang asked, "Bingkuan, how is the prince's recent schoolwork?" His Majesty has always said that you are teaching the prince, and the prince has made obvious progress, and the women of this palace don't understand that, he really has a good side? ”

"Yes, Bingkuan, you can talk to the queen well." Zhu Youzhu is very proud.

The most capable person of the Ming Dynasty was not only his advisor, but also his son's teacher.

With his own discernment, he was able to select Zhang Zhou from the vast sea of people......

When the emperor is not complacent about his ability, he will be proud of his accuracy.

Zhang Zhoudao: "The ministers only played an auxiliary role in the prince's schoolwork, and it still depends on the concerted efforts of the lecturers in the East Palace. The crown prince's recent study of the Four Books and Five Classics has indeed made progress, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. ”

"Then it's up to you." Empress Zhang smiled, glanced at her husband, glared at Zhang Heling with resentment, and then turned back to look at Zhang Zhou with a gentle smile.

Zhang Zhouguang knew from the back and forth look of this woman that she was a character who was not easy to mess with.

Could it be that in addition to what others say about knowing how to control her husband, Empress Zhang also has her own insights in governing the country and affairs?

Immediately, Zhang Zhou dispelled this idea.

It is that Empress Zhang in the Hongzhi, Zhengde, and Jiajing dynasties, did not get up, Zhengde failed to persuade her son, Jiajing she could use Yang Tinghe to control her son Zhu Houxi to the death, but she was also unable to do this, but was an inexperienced vassal prince who completed the purge in three years, and even relied on the Great Rites to even recognize her mother, and ran back to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors.

If she has a bit of political ambition, why is that?

Zhang Zhou smiled and arched his hand: "I will live up to the queen's expectations." ”

Empress Zhang looked at her husband again and said, "Then Your Majesty, should you reward Bingkuan again?" ”

"Haha, Queen, you don't have to worry about this, I will naturally give it to him." Zhu Youzhu thought, do you still need to remind you?

Empress Zhang said with a smile: "It was given by the court, that is His Majesty's heart, and the concubine also wants to reward him, which represents the heart of the Zhang family, even his mother told the concubine before that he would walk around with Bingkuan more in the future, he has no bad intentions, and he is all about the royal family and the Ming Dynasty." The concubine also wanted him to bring more crane age and prolongation ......"

That sounds fine.

But Zhang Zhou still felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning in his words.

It was not Queen Zhang who deliberately revealed it, but she accidentally "leaked her mouth".

It's just the words "he doesn't have bad intentions".

Zhang Zhou thought about it, I saved your daughter, predicted the disaster of Qingning Palace, and helped the court do so many things, what can make you think I have bad intentions at first? It must be a matter of giving the emperor a concubine.

Do you see that in the past six months that I have been with the emperor, I have never instigated the emperor to take a concubine, and even helped you and your husband to adjust their bodies and help you prepare for pregnancy, so you will resolve your previous prejudice against me...... Or do you know that you can't fight me now, so you made peace with me?

Zhu Youzhu said: "The queen wants to reward, I won't stop you, but your Zhang family doesn't have much, so it's better to listen to me for how to reward more." ”

In fact, the emperor didn't want the Zhang family to be a reward.

First of all, the name issue is very unruly, why did your Zhang family reward meritorious heroes on behalf of the royal family? Even if it is said to be helping, people mainly help me, not deliberately help your Zhang family, you just have to thank me.

However, Zhang Zhou knew that the more critical factor that the emperor minded was because the emperor felt that even if the queen was a reward, it would be the money in his purse.

It's like your Zhang family will make silver or wealth now, and in the end, don't you take the silver from my pocket?

Will these two brothers-in-law generate their own wealth?

It's polite that they didn't clean my purse, and the little money I have had in the past two years has almost been scavenged and scraped clean by the two brothers!

"Chuanshan, I have a drink with Bingkuan today, Heling, why don't you go back first?" Zhu Youzhu didn't seem to plan to leave his brother-in-law to eat in the palace.

Zhang Heling said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also hungry." ”

It's straightforward.

Zhu Youzhu frowned and said, "How many mouthfuls of food are missing from your family?" But let's stay together! When I talk to Bingkuan, don't interject! ”

"Yes, yes. It's too late for the minister to learn, how can he interject? ”

……

……

A lunch, very tasteless.

The main thing is that Zhang Heling is here, saying that he won't let him interject, but he has the most nonsense at the dinner table.

Zhu Youzhi was still a little displeased, because he didn't plan to invite anyone other than Zhang Zhou, otherwise he would have left Zhu Feng behind, but now Zhang Heling is there to stir up the situation.

After lunch, Zhu Youzhu excused himself to go back to the Qianqing Palace, and specially called Zhang Zhou over to follow.

Zhang Zhou found that he was becoming more and more like the emperor's close attendants...... Eunuch!??

"Bingkuan, it's still the same sentence, I asked you to take Heling to deal with the queen, you don't have to go to your heart." Zhu Youzhi was afraid that Zhang Zhou would mind cultivating the Zhang family brothers, so he specially instructed him.

Zhang Zhou smiled.

It seems that even if a man reaches the level of an emperor, he still has a face to face and a back with his wife.

Zhang Zhoudao: "If Shou Ninghou studies hard, the minister doesn't mind teaching him." ”

"Just him...... It's good that I didn't cause trouble, and you may wonder why I want to promote him and protect him when I know he doesn't like him, right? Zhu Youzhu asked with emotion.

Zhang Zhou smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty has too few relatives around him, but Fan Shou Ninghou and Jianchang Bo have not done anything too excessive, and the ministers think that Your Majesty will treat them leniently." ”

"That's right, that's what I thought before, but in recent years, the two brothers have become more and more disagreeable, and more and more people have participated in their impeachment, but the queen is still protecting them......"

Zhang Zhou can feel it from here.

Because of the appearance of Zhang Zhou, the emperor has a rift with the Zhang family.

At first, Empress Zhang should have been very aware of this, after all, the emperor no longer only regards the Zhang family as a relative, but has a powerful figure like Zhang Zhou, who is from a civil official background and has the blessing of a half-immortal status...... After Empress Zhang had a sense of crisis, she was critical of Zhang Zhou in various ways.

But later Empress Zhang found that he Zhang Zhou could do too much, and it was irreplaceable in the emperor's heart.

That's why I took the route of warm friendship.

"So Bingkuan, you will punish them for me, punish them well, you're welcome!" Zhu Youji's attitude was very firm, "I can rest assured that the prince will be handed over to you to manage, is it not even willing to give up the two brothers-in-law?" So you don't have to have any baggage in your heart. ”

Zhang Zhou thought to himself.

Your son nominally worships me as a teacher, but the Zhang brothers are at most my temporary students, and it is much more difficult to restrain these two mischievous people than your son.

No matter how smart your son is, he is always a child, and I can keep their pulse on the pulse of interests or preferences.

How do you put the Zhang brothers in this vein?

Closing with a knighthood? Or is it in holy grace? Or a woman who takes money?

Unless I really have the ability to send a bolt of lightning from the sky and slash at them, I guess they will know about it.

……

……

Zhang Zhou did not stay in the Qianqing Palace for too long.

Then he went to the Wenhua Palace.

The afternoon is a "special session" reserved for Zhang Zhou to teach, which means that the rest of the East Palace lecturers can go, leaving only Zhang Zhou to teach alone, not an afternoon, but about an hour, and then Zhang Zhou can go out of the palace, and Zhu Houzhao can go to dinner with his parents and sister, and share the joy of family.

“…… Master Zhang, you can count it. ”

When Zhang Zhou arrived at the Wenhua Palace, he saw Liu Jin waiting at the door, and after seeing Zhang Zhou, he came over with a nervous face.

Zhang Zhoudao: "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Jin said with a bitter face: "The prince said, let An Bianhou get him a divine power cannon, the prince wants to see for himself whether this cannon has that divine power." ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" Zhang Zhou frowned.

Liu Jin said helplessly: "It's only appropriate for you to tell the prince about this, and even An Bianhou doesn't know how to say it." ”

……

……

Zhang Zhou entered the hall and found Zhu Houzhao eating.

And Zhu Feng was holding a pen with a bitter face, standing there drawing something on the paper, after knowing that Zhang Zhou was coming, Zhu Feng couldn't help but look up with a pleading gaze.

Zhang Zhou frowned.

Why are you Zhu Zhijie so cowardly? are already marquises, do you have to have some dignity in front of the prince?

It's time for a big-eared scraper to throw it over...... Of course, it can't be so extreme, at least you should show your grace and tell the bear child what he can and can't do!

"Prince, what is this for?" Zhang Zhou came in, he didn't even have a salute, so he immediately asked.

Zhu Houzhao said: "This palace asked him to paint a picture of the war in Ningyuan, if he can pull the artillery, this palace will let him go!" How can someone want to help a friend? Here you go! ”

Zhang Zhou grabbed Zhu Houzhao's chopsticks and threw them on the ground.

"Huh?"

Then whether it was Zhu Feng or the eunuchs of the East Palace, they were all dumbfounded.

A courtier to a prince, can he still be like this?

Zhang Zhoudao: "Prince, the artillery can be pulled for you, but can you tell me, where to fight?" ”

"You...... You...... You can fight wherever you want! Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he trembled.

Zhang Zhou pointed in the direction of Fengtian Temple and said, "I don't want to choose the direction, go directly there, what do you think?" Blow up the Forbidden City to shreds, just take the opportunity to rebuild one. ”

"Zhang Bingkuan, this palace will give you face, call you sir, don't kick your nose in the face, don't use this strange tone to talk to this palace!" Zhu Houzhao was in front of Zhu Feng, and he didn't want to give it to Zhang Zhou at all, because he knew that if he didn't show some momentum today, even Zhu Feng wouldn't be afraid of him in the future.

finally caught a soft persimmon, but because his momentum was weak today, he couldn't be pinched by the soft persimmon.

"Hongu just wants to see the artillery, what's wrong? Blowing so hard, it seems that this palace is all bragging, otherwise why don't you dare to show it? ”

Liu Jin hurriedly said peacefully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, that divine power is too powerful, I'm afraid I can't demonstrate it here." ”

"Where can that be demonstrated?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Liu Jin's eyes rolled, as if he was singing a double reed with a bear child: "I heard that Master Zhang is about to open a military academy, called Yanwutang, which specializes in teaching people to use the Shenwei Yuan Cannon, as well as the mighty heavenly gunpowder, if you can go over there to learn some......"

"Hmm." Zhu Houzhao seemed to be inspired, glared at Zhang Zhoudao, "How Zhang Bingkuan, do you want to intercede for your friend?" If you take this palace to Yanwutang, then this palace guarantees that you will not be embarrassed in the future! ”

This goods?

It's you!

At a young age, I also learned to use ghost eyes.

You kid also know that it is not even a matter to mention it directly to your father, or to mention it to me, and let you go to Yanwutang to study.

That's why he deliberately embarrassed Zhu Feng and wanted to open a gap?

It's a pity...... You kid still can't hide it, your father knows that thing has the risk of exploding, and will let you go? Unless your dad wants to be the last one!

"Prince, do you know what the power of the mighty heavenly gunpowder is?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "I know, I can blow up the city wall." I don't go up in person, just look at it from a distance, I'll light a cannon, no problem, right? ”

Zhang Zhou said: "Then the prince, do you know that the Shenwei cannon is at risk of exploding?" ”

"What? Explode? What does it mean? Zhu Houzhao looked confused.

Zhang Zhou sighed: "The bore, that is, after the ignition, the shell did not go out, but it exploded on the spot, and the people within a radius of one or two zhang around were all dead!" ”

“……”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment, "Are you scaring the palace?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "You ask An Bianhou, is this so?" ”

"Really?" Zhu Houzhao glared at Zhu Feng.

"Hmm." Zhu Feng nodded hurriedly.

That's called a wreck.

Zhang Zhou didn't bother to scold Zhu Feng.

This kid is very active in front of men of the same age, and he seems to have strong communication skills, but he is limited to socializing among young people, and once he gets on a big scene, he is prone to stage fright.

To put it bluntly, this is the second generation of the gentleman, if he hadn't met him Zhang Zhou, he would have never had the opportunity to contact the political arena for half his life, and later inherited his brother's title of Duke of Chengguo, but it was also nothing, and in the end, Zhu Feng's son Zhu Xizhong saved Emperor Jiajing with Lu Bing, making him a brilliant mansion for decades.

And Zhu Xizhong was born in the eleventh year of Zhengde in history, that is, seventeen years later.

Zhang Zhou couldn't figure it out, what would this kid Zhu Feng be tossing around for the next ten years?

Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jin and said, "Then let the palace learn to shoot?" ”

Liu Jin said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave has never fired a cannon, I don't know what it looks like." ”

Zhu Houzhao dragged Liu Jin forward: "Mr. Zhang, otherwise, you will first give Liu Jin to the palace to teach, and if the palace is fine, just go and see it, and definitely not go into battle in person!" That's the end line, right? ”

Zhang Zhou sneered: "His Royal Highness the Prince, do you think I can decide this kind of thing?" ”

"You can tell your father." Zhu Houzhao looked like a matter of course.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Old rule, if you have succeeded in your studies recently, then I will let you go in person...... See the power of the Shenwei Cannon from a distance, if you can't do it...... Don't even think about it. ”

"Again?"

Zhu Houzhao was quite tough at the beginning, and he was arguing with Zhang Zhou and singing double reeds.

But after listening to Zhang Zhou's conditions, Zhu Houzhao became worried again.

Every time, he lured him with some good things, so that he had to study hard in exchange for a chance...... He just wanted to ask, can you Zhang Bingkuan change his move?

Zhang Zhou sat down and said coldly: "Prince, do you remember what I told you before?" When you ask a person to do something, you should first think about what he needs. ”

"You don't have to toss me around and have fun with it, do you?" Zhu Houzhao was annoyed.

I feel like I've been played by Zhang Zhou.

But every time he had to give in.

Zhang Zhou said angrily: "I'm a lecturer in the East Palace, you won't know my performance appraisal standards, right?" Your Majesty and the Empress asked me about your schoolwork before, and I was embarrassed to say that you have been learning that bullshit recently......"

"You curse!" Zhu Houzhao seemed to turn around and teach Zhang Zhou a lesson.

"Humph! If you don't learn well, don't let you say it? Compared to before you met me, your schoolwork has improved a bit, but the problem is that your progress is far worse than that of ordinary children from private families! If you can't keep up with their schoolwork, are you embarrassed for me to mention to His Majesty that you should be out of town? ”

"Why go out of town?"

"Nonsense! Is artillery in the city? When the prince goes out of the city, what a battle, you should know! What I need is that your schoolwork has progressed to the point where your father is satisfied, you can choose for yourself, change it or not! ”

Zhang Zhou said this.

Zhu Houzhao understood.

Zhang Zhou just wanted to exchange his academic progress for "performance", and Zhang Zhou was willing to help him intercede to meet his needs only after he had his own performance.

"Zhang Bingkuan, you are so ruthless! Take the books of the main palace, and the main palace will read...... Woohoo......"
