Yang Peng understands the rules of Vanity Fair, knows what Zhang Zhou needs, and knows what he can help.
You don’t need to ask for bribes, and you don’t need to pay bribes openly to get things done beautifully.
Zhang Zhou is also thinking that this Yang Peng was able to gain Li Guang's trust during the Hongzhi period and still retain power despite his misdeeds. He was even able to gain a foothold immediately after Li Guang's fall. He was indeed a good hand at socializing and socializing. .
"Nowadays, there are many powerful people in the capital. They heard that an immortal master has appeared in the palace. They are all looking for it. Some of them want to ask you to come and perform a ritual to drive away the evil spirits in the palace. Your actions will not be shabby. "The guarding eunuchs from all over the country also want to make friends with you."
Yang Peng was smooth in dealing with things before, but now he wants to be a middleman to gain benefits.
Zhang Zhou understands the rules of Vanity Fair very well.
Now that the emperor trusts him, maybe even if the emperor knows about making money, the emperor will turn a blind eye. But if he encounters some natural disaster or something like that later, he will be warned and the minister will intervene. Impeachment said it had something to do with the emperor's favor and trust in him
These bad deeds would become a reminder for him.
Smart people don’t need to amass wealth in this way.
Zhang Zhou thought he was not short of money.
Zhang Zhou didn’t refuse, he just smiled and said, “Let’s talk about it later, I’m not good at sociability. Besides, I’m not Li Guang. My Taoism is not deep enough. I’m afraid that if I fail to exorcise evil spirits, I will attract evil spirits to them.” Come back."
"You're joking."
Yang Peng didn't force it.
We don’t know him well enough, so even if Zhang Zhou regards wealth as his life, he won’t talk too much with him.
In Yang Peng’s view, many things can be advanced slowly.
After Zhang Zhou inspected the foundation laying of Qingning Palace, he could have left the palace.
But it was Xiao Jing who came in a hurry and said to Zhang Zhou, "Sir, your Majesty invites you."
Zhang Zhou asked, "Let's talk about Qingning Palace"
Xiao Jing smiled helplessly, meaning that the emperor didn't clearly say what it was, so it was hard for him to guess.
Zhang Zhou followed him all the way to Qianqing Palace. He could see people passing by in a hurry on the road. Zhang Zhou was also thinking in his heart, if he really worked as an errand in the palace and did everything in a rigid and hasty manner, this group of people would be under great pressure. How big is it?
"Eunuch Xiao, do you usually have any relaxing activities?" Zhang Zhou asked with concern.
"Hmm"
Xiao Jing had a question mark on his face.
What is the "relaxation project"?
"Mr. Zhang, you are so funny. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. He also specifically stated that there is no need to pass the message. I will just take you in when you come."
In the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youtang was sitting behind his Dragon Case with many memorials on hand. Before Zhang Zhou arrived, Zhu Youtang was still reviewing the memorials carefully.
"Bingkuan, you're welcome, take a seat."
The seats were preset. Zhang Zhou saluted and sat down, waiting to listen to the emperor's teachings.
After Zhu Youtang finished reviewing the memorial in his hand, he put it aside and expressed his gratitude.He said with emotion, "It is not uncommon for the imperial court to withdraw its ministers from their respective places to guard the imperial court. I am also thinking about it." The emperor said that there were various opinions in the court to remove the guarding eunuchs, but the emperor was still thinking about the matter.
The implication is that the guarding eunuchs in various places felt the crisis and wanted to take the opportunity to mobilize people in the capital, especially those who could speak well around the emperor, to retain official positions for them.
In Ming Dynasty.
The guard eunuchs in various places are equivalent to both the military supervisors and half the commanders. Many things cannot be completed without the permission of the guard eunuchs. Both the chief military officer and the governor are very worried. , so that any military deployment must be supervised by a group of eunuchs who don't know how to fight, which can easily delay the war effort
What's worse is that each of these eunuchs is greedier than the last, and they simply can't feed them enough.
Civil officials did not want to be hijacked by eunuchs everywhere. During the Hongzhi Dynasty, because the emperor relied heavily on civil officials, such requests were common.
Emperor Hongzhi wanted to cancel it for a time, just because the northwestern Tatars invaded one after another ten years after Hongzhi. Zhang Zhou was familiar with history and knew that Dayan Khan had risen in the grasslands during this period, and some Mongolian cavalry had recovered in the grasslands. Rongguang made the emperor feel that it was necessary to strengthen his control over the northwest and other places.
"Your Majesty has worked hard for state affairs, and I feel deeply ashamed that I cannot share the burden." Zhang Zhou said. < /p>
"Yes."
Zhu Youtang nodded, but sighed, "This is also my regret. I want to keep you in the palace. There is no bright future. I want you to stay in the palace." Chao, you haven't won the Jinshi exam yet. Originally, given your status as a juren, it wouldn't be wrong to give you an official position, but there are too few things that a juren can do, and you are from Jiangnan Jieyuan, so there is no doubt that you will be a Jinshi in the future. ""
"By the way, Bingkuan, after you arrived in Beijing, why didn't you enter Yong, and why didn't you visit the teacher of the provincial examination? Is there some reason that I don't know about?"< /p>
Zhu Youtang obviously kept in mind Zhang Zhou’s previous comments about Cheng Minzheng.
Especially the part where Cheng Minzheng may cause trouble.
It’s scary to think about it.
Zhang Zhou said, "I just don't want to socialize too much. I can wait until after the exam next year before visiting again. As for Beiyong, I am usually busy. If I enter Beiyong, if I can't go back home every day, It may delay schoolwork, or it may delay other things.”
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, “I don’t understand you. I keep looking for you to do things and ignore your feelings. In fact, you want to go to school. , it would be more beneficial to be guided by a famous teacher in Beiyongzhong."
Speaking of this, Zhu Youtang said to Xiao Jing on the side, "Find someone to talk to Minister Lin and let him make arrangements." Everything, so that Bingkuan can enroll as soon as possible and not interfere with his studies, help as much as possible."
"Yes.Jing responded with a smile.
Zhang Zhou thought that Lin Han had just sent his son to go through the formalities for entering the Imperial Academy, but the matter had not been completed, and now the emperor wanted to press him again. It is estimated that Lao Lin would have a headache now.
"One more thing." Zhu Youtang said, "The news came back from the northwest, saying that not long after Wang Yue left Yansui Town, the Tatars got the news and sent troops to attack the earthen forts around Yulinwei. , Piantou Pass and other places also reported that there was a Tatar vision. It seems that the Tatars are unwilling to fail."
Zhang Zhouxin said, if you tell me this, you are not blaming me for suggesting that Wang Yue be transferred. Come back
Dai Yi reminded, "Your Majesty, you still have this."
"Oh, by the way, I just received news that Wang Yuenian has passed seventy. He went back to Beijing on horseback. After only a few days of walking, he almost died at the inn due to chest paralysis. His family gave him the medicine I gave him and he recovered. I don’t know what to say to him to express my gratitude.”
“There is also a thank you note from the British father, thanking you for curing his son’s illness.”
Zhang Zhou. I am very confused, did Wang Yue become ill so quickly?
In history, Wang Yue did not die until December, and died of sorrow and anger.
However, Wang Yue has always had heart disease.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Zhou changed history and asked the emperor to urgently summon Wang Yue back to the capital, and Wang Yue insisted on riding a horse to show off his talent, that the disease started early
" I was thinking, if I had just summoned Wang Yue back to the capital, and Tatar had a vision, people in the court would gossip, but now that Wang Yue has come back to life, who else would gossip?"
"I I feel that it is because of you that everything in the northwest is safe. I have asked Wang Yue to rush to Xuanfu first, stay there for a while, and then let him return to Beijing after the Tatars withdraw their troops."
" For such an old minister to stay in the northwest, it is also a shock to Di Yi."
When Zhu Youtang said this, there was a lot of expectation in his eyes.
I just have to tell Zhang Zhou that you have been so good at treating illnesses several times, so now it’s time to give me your secret recipe for giving birth
I can’t wait to get it. Try it with the queen.
"Your Majesty, this is all the result of your taking my opinion. It is not because of anything I have done. Besides, this kind of thing still involves God's will." Since the emperor had this idea, Zhang Zhou, as a discerning person, also You can't pretend to be confused.
"Okay, you have merit but don't boast about it, and you are open-minded. I appreciate you. When Wang Yue returns to Beijing, let him thank you." Zhu Youtang once again expressed his affirmation of Zhang Zhou's ability.
Zhang Zhou said, "I have summarized some prescriptions for the health of Your Majesty and the Queen. If you have a pen and paper, I can record them and give them to the people at the Imperial Hospital for detailed review, and then let them make a decision." "Can your Majesty take the medicine?"
Zhu Youtang stood up excitedly and said, "Why don't you ask them for details? Just give it to me. I believe you."
Dai Yi also urged. "Yes, Mr. Zhang, we are all waiting."
"Hahaha"
ZhuYoutang couldn't help but laugh.
This seems to be saying, before you came, I told Dai Yi and others how to ask for a prescription from you. Now that you take the initiative to ask, everyone is your own person, and the atmosphere becomes relaxed and lively. .
Zhang Zhou said, "The minister will record it first."
"Quick, give me a pen and paper."
Zhang Zhou recorded some prescriptions, but they were not complete. Because he has to go back and consider some medicines again.
Some medicines are still strong in nature and can be used on ordinary people. For frail and sick people like Zhu Youtang, they need to be taken step by step. If strong medicine is given at the beginning, Zhu Youtang will really become weak. Not compensated.
"Your Majesty, as I said before, medication is secondary. The important thing is that Your Majesty should go out for a walk more often. Sitting for a long time will also cause physical discomfort."
"Okay."
"In addition, the Queen's conditioning is all about basic medicines. The Queen can wait for Her Majesty's conditioning to be completed before using medicines."
"Bingkuan, you need to take medicines separately. ”
“Yes, let’s take care of His Majesty first.”
What Zhang Zhou means is that you are so weak and you haven’t taken care of yourself yet, so let’s take care of the Queen first. If you are too energetic, it will do you no good.
If you and your wife want to adjust at the same time, you should do it first, then her.
"Okay, okay."
Zhu Youtang was like a serious student, and he promised whatever Zhang Zhou said.
When the prescription was finished, even Dai Yi, who didn’t know much about medicine, said, “Your Majesty, the slaves have been worshiped in the Imperial Hospital for several years. Mr. Zhang’s prescription alone is not toxic or toxic. They are complementary medicinal materials, but some of them are not commonly used. I'm afraid they are not available in the palace." "Then go out and buy them," Zhu Youtang said.
"Yes." Dai Yi glanced at Zhang Zhou, his eyes a little erratic.
It makes Zhang Zhou think that you, Dai Yi, don’t want to do anything about purchasing medicinal materials
“Bingkuan, I have something else to tell you, that is, the prince Regarding the matter, you told him something a few days ago, asking him to meet and talk to the queen's two brothers. I won't ask more about it."
"Your Majesty, I haven't asked him yet. "Too much to say."
Zhu Youtang smiled and stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhang Zhou, "You don't have to explain. I understand your painstaking efforts. But in fact, it's not good to do this all the time. We should wait until he is a teenager." It’s not too late to teach me. By the way, he also gave me a thing called a telescope, which was made by you, right?”
“Return to your Majesty, yes.”
“ I feel that since the situation in the northwest is tense now, it would be best if you could make more. I won’t force you. If it can help the situation in the northwest, I will take your credit.”
Xiao Jing and others. People were surprised.
Because the prince had previously given advice to his father but failed, he was reprimanded and locked up in a small dark room.
But when he turned around, Zhu Youtang came to Zhang Zhou to ask for a telescope, and followed Zhu Hou’s instructions.According to what was said, it was to be used for military purposes.
Xiao Jing and others are thinking, if the little prince knows about it, he will not be angry to death. Please remember to save it, the latest and fastest website, no anti-theft, free reading
