This time, Zhu Youzhi didn't even notify Xiao Jing and others.

Even if Zhu Youzhi does not fully know the attitude of Xiao Jing and others, he also understands that some things still have to be "discussed separately" with Zhang Zhou in order to ensure that the news is not leaked, of course, the matter is not completely unknown to a third party, that is, to bring in an "innocent bystander", Wu Hao, the supervisor of Qintian.

Zhu Youzhu left Zhang Zhou to eat in the palace that night.

not only called the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, but also Queen Zhang and Zhu Xiurong, who were simply a family to receive guests.

This made Zhang Zhoudu a little embarrassed.

"Queen, look at Bingkuan's line, he hasn't lost much weight, it seems that the food in Liaodong is not bad." Zhu Youzhu was in a good mood, and even joked about Zhang Zhou's weight.

Empress Zhang smiled: "Yes, it seems that Bingkuan doesn't have much hard work, won't it be that he will let others do all the hard work?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "The queen smiled, in fact, the ministers have done a lot of things, but in terms of hard work, it is especially the two of Xinjian Bo and Tang Yin, they can be tossed by the ministers a lot." ”

"Haha." Zhu Youzhu laughed and said, "A capable minister is a capable minister, and there must be Bole to discover them, and there must be Bole to bring out their potential, just like Wang Bo'an and Tang Bohu, these two are just new Jinshi, at any time, I would never have thought that they have such great ability." Or Bingkuan, you deserve it well. ”

Empress Zhang looked at her husband with a look of admiration and admiration on her face and said, "Isn't it because Your Majesty discovered Bingkuan?" His Majesty is the most unique Bole with the most vision. ”

"Really?" Zhu Youzhu smiled, "I was so excited that I almost thought that this was the truth." When it comes to knowing people, I'm still not as good as Bingkuan......"

……

Zhu Youzhu complimented Zhang Zhou there, and didn't even hesitate to say anything flattering.

Zhu Houzhao on the side was holding a rice bowl, and the little eyes that came over were a little cynical.

These two stinky and shameless ...... Even the queen mother joins them? What are they talking about? Bole Bole, can't you praise me at the beginning? When I saw the surname Zhang, I also thought that he was talented, and I was Bole!

"Prince, Bingkuan has time recently, and I asked him to give you a lesson, and he will usually give a lecture when the lecturer is not in the lecture." Zhu Youzhu thought of the plan he had arranged with Zhang Zhou, and then thought that Zhang Zhou might usher in a period of rest soon.

Of course, he didn't forget to let Zhang Zhou continue to shine and give Zhu Houzhao a lesson, which was the reason why Zhu Youzhu could think of and let Zhang Zhou frequently enter and leave the palace.

Under the pretext that Zhang Zhou was teaching the crown prince, the minister would not make irresponsible remarks.

Can't I give the prince a private gentleman to come back?

Zhu Houzhao protested: "Why isn't it time to speak? Erchen only has a few days off every month, and he still has to occupy it? ”

Zhu Youzhu said with a displeased face: "Do you want this?" ”

"Erchen just wants to change the time, for example, one day to let the speaker go first, or let him speak on the side...... Erchen is also very busy. Zhu Houzhao was a little aggrieved.

I've known Zhang Zhou for two years, and it seems that nothing has changed.

He will always be the one who is oppressed by his father, and Zhang Zhou is the accomplice, and he, Zhu Houzhao, is now gradually beginning to enter the period of youth rebellion, and he has more and more opinions.

Zhu Youzhu said coldly: "I don't have to discuss, it's all for your good, if you don't comply, see how I clean you up." Bingkuan, teach him well, punish him how he should be punished, strict teachers make high apprentices, you are half of his father, don't show mercy to your subordinates. ”

"Hiss......" Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that his ass was cold.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "The minister should do his best. ”

Empress Zhang asked: "After Bingkuan returned to the court, so many things were waiting for him, did he have time to teach the crown prince?" ”

"Huh." Zhu Youzhi smiled calmly and calmly, and said, "There will be." ”

……

……

Just when Zhang Zhou was eating with Zhu Youji's family of four.

In the room of the celebrant supervisor, Chen Kuan informed Xiao Jing of the news he had just learned.

Xiao Jing asked curiously: "You mean, Your Majesty talked and laughed today, and did not talk about the minister's impeachment of Zhang Bingkuan at all?" ”

"Yes." Chen Kuan said, "It's strange to say, Your Majesty seems to have a chance to win." ”

Xiao Jing paced back and forth, obviously in this matter, Xiao Jing was too deeply bound to the ministers who participated in the impeachment of Zhang Zhou in the court, and he seemed to have no way out.

"Zhang Bingkuan's action is extraordinary, the matter is in a uproar, even if he just returned to Beijing and doesn't know anything, it is impossible for His Majesty not to know, whether it is Yang Peng, Lin Han or Xu Qiong, it is possible to inform him of the news and let him be on guard. In this matter, none of these people participated in the joint name. When Xiao Jing said this, he suddenly remembered another person and said, "By the way, there is also Shen Lu." ”

Chen Kuan said: "Is it Your Majesty's opinion that this impeachment meeting will not be over?" ”

Xiao Jing shook his head.

The emperor discussed with Zhang Zhou alone, which showed that the emperor's trust in the eunuchs around him was gradually lost, and Xiao Jing did not feel that it was his fault.

When Dai Yi was the master of ceremonies, the open and secret battle with Zhang Zhou had actually begun, which was also the inevitable result of the emperor's favor of Zhang Zhou.

Xiao Jing's eyes burned and said: "I want to send people, keep an eye on Zhang Bingkuan, see what he has done recently, if Yang Peng doesn't listen to the order from the Dongchang side, he will find someone from the Governor's Mansion to help, and the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division can also help." ”

"This ......" Chen Kuan wanted to say, this movement is a bit big.

Although it is just staring at people, the more yamen are transferred, the more it seems that you Xiao Jing is more powerful.

Xiao Jing said: "It's just a matter of a few days, in the past two days, His Majesty first met with the lord of the DPRK, and then talked about the change of ministers in the DPRK and China, and it is also necessary to put the matter of participating in the impeachment of Zhang Bingkuan in the period, and wait for the old batch of ministers in the DPRK and China to retreat, who do you expect to check and balance him?" Hurry up! ”

……

……

After the dinner that day, Zhu Youzhu and Zhang Zhou walked out of the palace together.

Zhu Youzhu is going to see his "little wife", that is, the "imperial concubine" Xiaolian who is about to enter the palace outside the palace.

Xiaolian was conceived after the autumn of the first year, almost exactly before her due date, and it is also related to the fact that the lunar calendar only has 29 to 30 days per month, and it would be more accurate to calculate the pregnancy in October using the lunar calendar.

"Bingkuan, your child, I haven't given you a name yet, do you have any favorite name?" Zhu Youzhi knew that Zhang Zhou was going back to reunite with his family, and he would also see his newborn son, so he naturally asked with concern.

Zhang Zhouxin said.

After saying that you gave me a name, why do you still ask me what I plan?

Zhang Zhoudao: "Please give your name Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, I want to give my child a name, and I want to give you a ...... It's a bit of a headache. ”

The name of this kind of thing really stumped Zhu Youji.

It's not difficult in itself, but the problem is that Zhu Youzhu is very superstitious, and even thinks that Zhu Houwei's death is related to a bad name, so the name should not only be loud, but also allow his son to live a few more years, and the best thing is to give his son a son who may be born...... Of course, it may also be a daughter, the one that is not very good for Zhang Zhou's family......

"So, how about calling Zhang Lin?" Zhu Youzhu asked with a smile.

Zhang Zhou frowned.

This is the same as Zhu Feng's eldest brother, it is all a Lin character, and your emperor's name is so level?

But thinking that his eldest nephew is just named Zhang Ping, it seems that there is nothing more...... On the contrary, it is Zhang Jun's kid's name, which sounds a little better...... In fact, it's half a catty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name." Zhang Zhou gave his hand.

"Hahaha......" Zhu Youzhu said proudly as if he had completed a difficult task hanging in his heart, "In a few days, after the concubine gives birth, I can rest assured." By the way, Bingkuan, you can now test, is it a man or a woman? ”

This is also the issue that Zhu Youzhu is most concerned about.

The child was not born, and he hoped to have another son to ensure the stability of the imperial heir's inheritance, but he was afraid that he would give birth to a daughter, so he would be happy in vain.

I still have to work hard then...... Zhu Youzhu is obviously not a diligent old cow in the matter of "farming".

Zhang Zhou said truthfully: "Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is that this prince or princess of yours is not in the number of fates, it can be said that it is the dragon heir brought by His Majesty after changing his life against the sky, so the minister can't use the heavenly machine to calculate." ”

"Really?"

When others said this, Zhu Youzhu didn't hit me with a big-eared scraper, fooling me?

But when Zhang Zhou said this, Zhu Youzhu felt a kind of "fear" from the bottom of his heart, which was a kind of "fear" that clearly made his destiny, but with Zhang Zhou's help, he changed his destiny and changed the future...... Changing one's life against the sky is fortunate to say, but there will also be a kind of retribution that the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes.

Superstitious people are most afraid of what disaster will be brought down by the providence.

"Your Majesty, you are about to arrive at the palace gate, and the minister will not accompany you over." Zhang Zhoudao.

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded, "You go to see Wu Hao, if he doesn't know each other, I will drive him out of the palace tomorrow!" Qin Tianjian's supervisor has not done anything in the past two years, and this time it is rare for him to help me do something. Bingkuan, it's up to you! ”

……

……

Monarchs and ministers parted ways.

Zhang Zhou went to find Wu Hao, and Zhu Youzhu went to see his little wife.

Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Zhou came to Wu Hao's mansion, and when Wu Hao heard that Zhang Zhou was coming, he was so frightened that he didn't even put on his shoes, so he hurried out to meet him.

"Wu Jianzheng, let's be polite and go in and talk." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

"Lai Guogong, do you have a big deal?" Wu Hao was even a little afraid to contact Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou didn't have to guess to know why, at his insistence, the two went to the west chamber of Wu Hao's courtyard together, and after sitting down, Wu Hao also replaced the tung oil lamp with a candle.

This makes the room brighter.

"Stand down, the old man has guests today, no one is allowed to come and disturb him." Wu Hao said.

The old servant withdrew and closed the door.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Wu Jianzheng has encountered a lot of troubles recently, right? ”

"Huh? No, there is no ......" Wu Hao hurriedly wanted to deny it.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "As soon as I returned to Beijing, I heard that many people have visited you recently, and they seem to be waiting for an opportunity." ”

"Deed...... Opportunity? Wu Hao was also blinded by Zhang Zhouxian.

When he understood what was going on, he hurriedly denied: "No...... Lai Guogong, you should know that you are just a decent Qintian supervisor, and your ability is not as good as yours, let alone reach the will of heaven, at most, if there is a change in the stars, you will report it truthfully, and there is really nothing or tampering...... No, it's the ability to speculate on providence. ”

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Aren't I here to discuss with you about the will of heaven?" I don't know if I'm right. ”

"You...... Is there a big deal again? Then you ......"

Wu Hao wanted to say, you figure it out, you mention it to Your Majesty.

What do you mean by telling me? Do you think I have what it takes to help you with this? What are you capable of...... I can't reach it.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Let's be honest, I've also heard that some people want to use things such as providence and disasters to attack me and want me to retreat from above." Today, I also asked Your Majesty to resign, saying that I want to live a few days of peace. ”

Wu Hao: "......"

The first capable minister of the Ming Dynasty, omnipotent, and even the will of heaven, Lai Guogong, actually doesn't want to be an official?

"I'm tired." Zhang Zhoudao, "I'm an idler, before I was admitted to the Jinshi, I wrote a poem, I don't know if Wu Jianzheng has heard of it?" ”

Wu Hao asked: "Plant peach trees under Peach Blossom Mountain, and pick peach blossoms for wine money?" ”

"You see, even Wu Jianzheng, you know that I have this unsuccessful ambition, and I don't know why it is like this." Zhang Zhoudao.

Wu Hao said with an embarrassed face: "Probably the people of Tongtian, with the blessing of immortals, are looking for a comfortable paradise life, so back to the basics, in the future, they will be able to ascend to the fairy world." I can understand it below. ”

Zhang Zhou smiled.

I haven't understood it myself, but you Wu Hao understood it for me?

Zhang Zhoudao: "I don't like to compete with the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, now since they want me to retreat, then I will retreat first, I am going to go to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River to find fairy grass and Danfang, even if I don't want to live forever, I also want to prolong life." It is also good to help His Majesty fulfill his wish to prolong life and strengthen his body. ”

When Wu Hao heard this, his eyes widened and said, "Lai Guogong, you really ...... Think so? ”

"yes." Zhang Zhou said, "Wu Jianzheng, you are also a Taoist, right?" Do you think that when we cultivators face the attacks of others, we should avoid it and seek peace, or should we fight to the death? ”

"Uh......"

Wu Hao compared his heart to his heart and sighed, "That should be avoided, and besides, your current power, even if you retreat from the court, you are also a prince with a coupon, and you can also win the trust of Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Zhouxin said, you Wu Hao still understand me.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Wu Jianzheng, you really said that my heart is broken, and I think so too." I didn't calculate this, on the day of Wuzi in July, there will be strong winds in the capital, and there will be rain and hail, maybe God doesn't want me to serve the court as a cultivator, so I specially want to remind me to avoid it as soon as possible. ”

"Huh?"

Wu Hao was taken aback again.

He pinched his fingers and asked, "Can you calculate what will happen in four or five days?" ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "The ancients had Zhuge Kongming who was proficient in the celestial phase, and he could calculate the climate through the celestial phase, can't I?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I mean." Wu Hao hurriedly said, "What do you mean by telling Yu Zaixia this?" This kind of thing should be brought up with His Majesty. ”

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "If you don't tell Wu Jianzheng, do you want me to tell the ministers of the DPRK and China?" It can't be, I am myself involved in the impeachment of myself, right? ”

"This ......"

Wu Hao felt that his head was not enough.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Didn't Wu Jianzheng think that I was opening my mouth and deliberately saying this, so that I can't be confirmed at that time, so that the world thinks that I, Zhang, have ill intentions?" ”

"I didn't ...... No. Wu Hao really thinks so.

You Zhang Bingkuan are so awesome, you can even calculate the hailstorm, why tell me? Say it yourself, if others don't admire your ability more, they won't dare to impeach you?

Zhang Zhoudao: "The purpose of what I said was to prevent and relieve the disaster, and at the same time, it was also so that I could get out of the country with my whole body. Recently, I have asked His Majesty for orders to go to Jiangnan for a walk, which is probably a few days away. After I became the champion, I even became a national prince, and I have never returned to Nanjing, and I have never even been to the ancestral tomb, which is really a bit unfilial. ”

"Huh?" Wu Hao thought about it.

What a dutiful son.

In order to go home to visit relatives and sacrifice, he was not even an official?

Wu Hao reminded: "Lai Guogong, let's make it clear, someone wants to impeach you, if you attribute all the responsibility for the natural disaster and vision to yourself, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep the title." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled: "It's okay, Your Majesty will help me keep it." Besides, isn't it too childish to deprive me of my title with a natural disaster? ”

That being said, Zhang Zhou knew that Wu Hao didn't say anything, thinking that Cheng Minzheng was impeached because of the climate in the Beijing Division, and even lost his official position......

If Cheng Minzheng, who is in Nanjing, said this, he would probably call Wu Jianzheng an expert.

Wu Hao thought about it and nodded.

Zhang Zhou had the emperor's backing behind him, and because of a hailstorm, he lost the title that Zhang Zhou had obtained by military exploits...... is unlikely.

Zhang Zhou asked with a smile: "Wu Jianzheng, after you learn this news, who are you going to tell first?" What are you going to say? ”

"I ......"

Wu Hao cried with a sad face.

You, Zhang, are really going to give people problems.

Just tell me, I'll help you keep the secret, you actually let me tell me? What is the ...... of disaster prevention and relief? You're going to roast me on the fire.

"Or does Wu Jian Zheng have nothing to say about this hailstorm?" Zhang Zhou arched his hand and said, "In the next few years, the life of Xianyun and Yehe will all depend on Wu Jian Zheng." ”

Wu Hao said: "Then I'll go...... Follow...... Tell me about Liu Gelao? ”

"Not good." Zhang Zhou said, "Wu Jianzheng should go to Tu Shangshu and say that he believes this very much, and you can't say that I said it, this is also what Your Majesty meant." ”

"What? Your Majesty...... Also informed? ”

Wu Hao felt even more incredible.

Zhang Zhou said: "Naturally know, otherwise why did I come to you." I originally wanted Your Majesty to find someone to leak this news, and by the way, let me leave the court...... But His Majesty said that such a disaster should be warned in advance, and it is also to let the people of Beijing prepare for the disaster, and if someone else says it, it will inevitably be said that it is a disaster to confuse the public. ”

"Then I'm ......" Wu Hao wanted to say, I'll say, if it doesn't happen, it's not a lie?

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "But Wu Jianzheng, it's different if you go to say it, you are the Qintian Supervisor, shouldn't you be responsible for such an errand?" You've reported so much in the past...... The sky is changing, and this time is just the right time to give you a chance. ”

Wu Hao felt that his face was hot.

The heart says.

You Zhang Bingkuan might as well say directly, I haven't played so many times before, and it's not bad this time, right?

It's a great humiliation for me.
