Zhu Youtang did not even inform Xiao Jing and others about this plan.
Even if Zhu Youtang does not fully know the attitude of Xiao Jing and others, he also understands that some matters still need to be "discussed privately" with Zhang Zhou to ensure that the news is not leaked. Of course, things are not complete. No third party knew, just to bring in an "innocent bystander", Qin Tian Supervisor Zheng Wu Hao.
Zhu Youtang stayed with Zhang Zhou to eat in the palace that night.
Not only the prince Zhu Houzhao was called, but also Queen Zhang and Zhu Xiurong. It was like a family to receive guests.
This made Zhang Zhou feel a little embarrassed.
"Queen, you see that Bingkuan has not lost much weight. It seems that the food in Liaodong is not bad." Zhu Youtang was in such a good mood that he even joked about Zhang Zhou's weight.
Queen Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that Bingkuan didn't have much hard work. It's not like he let others do all the hard work."
Zhang Zhou said, "The Queen smiled, but in fact, I They have done a lot, but in terms of hard work, Xin Xinbo and Tang Yin are especially hard. They were tortured a lot."
"Haha," Zhu Youtang laughed. 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 Boan and Tang Bohu. These two are just newly promoted Jinshi. I will not be able to do it at any time. Thinking of how capable they are, it's better for you, Bingkuan, to be a bole." Queen Zhang looked at her husband with a look of admiration and admiration on her face and said, "It's not because of this. Your Majesty has discovered that His Majesty Bingkuan is the most insightful Bole in the Ming Dynasty."
"Really?" Zhu Youtang said with a smile, "I was so excited when I said that, I almost thought it was the truth. . When it comes to understanding people, I am still not as good as Bingkuan."
Zhu Youtang complimented Zhang Zhou and did not even hesitate to use any kind words.
Zhu Houzhao on the side was holding a job, and his eyes looked a little cynical.
These two shameless people even have their mother and queen join them. What are they talking about? Can't they praise me for who I was? When I first saw the man named Zhang, I thought he was extremely talented. , I am Bole
"Prince, Bingkuan has time recently, I asked him to teach you, and he will give lectures when the official is not in the office." Zhu Youtang thought of himself and Zhang Zhou arranged the plan, and then thought that Zhang Zhou might have a period of rest soon.
Of course, he did not forget to let Zhang Zhou continue to shine and teach Zhu Houzhao. It was Zhu Youtang who could think of the reason why Zhang Zhou frequently came in and out of the palace.
Using Zhang Zhou to teach the prince as an excuse, the minister will not make irresponsible remarks.
I can’t even invite a private gentleman to come back to the prince alone
Zhu Houzhao protested, “Why didn’t I only have a few days of rest every month when I was giving lectures, and why did I have to be punished by him? It's occupied."
Zhu Youtang looked unhappy and said, "You don't want it."
"I just want toAt another time, for example, let the lecturer leave first one day, or let him talk for a while. The minister is also very busy. "Zhu Houzhao is a little aggrieved.
I have known Zhang Zhou for two years, and it seems that nothing has changed.
I will always be the one bullied by my father, and Zhang Zhou is the accomplice. And he, Zhu Houzhao, has gradually entered the period of youth rebelliousness, and has more and more opinions.
Zhu Youtang said coldly, "No need to discuss, this is all for your own good. If you don't comply, look." How can I deal with you? Bingkuan, teach him well and punish him as he should. A strict teacher will produce a good disciple. You are half of his father, so don't be merciful. "
"Hiss" Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a chill on his buttocks.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I should do my best. "
Queen Zhang asked, "After Bingkuan returns to the court, there are so many things waiting for him. Will he have time to teach the prince?"
"Haha. Zhu Youtang said with a calm and composed smile, "There will be." ”
While Zhang Zhou was having dinner with Zhu Youtang’s family of four.
In Si Li’s duty room, Chen Kuan informed Xiao of the news he had just learned. Respect.
Xiao Jing asked curiously, "You mean, your Majesty was talking and laughing today, but he didn't talk about the minister's involvement in the impeachment of Zhang Bingkuan at all."
"Yes. "Chen Kuan said, "It's strange to say that your Majesty seems to have a winning chance. ”
Xiao Jing was pacing back and forth. It was obvious that Xiao Jing was too deeply bound to the ministers in the court who were involved in the impeachment of Zhang Zhou in this matter. He seemed to have no way out.
< p> "Zhang Bingkuan's actions were extraordinary and the matter caused quite a stir. Even if he didn't know anything when he returned to the capital, it's impossible for His Majesty to not know about it. Whether it was Yang Peng, Lin Han or Xu Qiong, it was possible that he would be informed of the news. , let him be on guard. In this matter, none of these people participated in the joint signature. "When Xiao Jing said this, he suddenly thought of another person and said, "By the way, there is Shen Lu. ”Chen Kuandao said, “That’s because His Majesty feels that this impeachment meeting will go to nothing.”
Xiao Jing shook his head.
The emperor discussed this with Zhang Zhou alone. This shows 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 holding the seal for the eunuch, the open and secret fight with Zhang Zhou had actually begun. It is also the inevitable result of the emperor's favor and trust in Zhang Zhou.
Xiao Jing said with a stern look, "We need to send people to keep an eye on Zhang Bingkuan to see what his recent movements are. If Yang Peng doesn't do it in Dongchang. After listening to the order, you can ask people from the Governor's Mansion for help, and people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division can also help. ”
“This” Chen Kuan wanted to say, this noise is a bit loud.
Although it is just eye-catching, the more yamen are mobilized, the more it appears that Xiao Jing has overstepped his authority.
Xiao Jingdao, "It's only a matter of a few days. In these two days, His Majesty will first meet with the leader of North Korea, and then talk about the changes of ministers in North Korea and China. The matter of impeachment of Zhang Bingkuan must be put aside during this period." The older members of the imperial court have all retreated, hoping that whoever can check and balance him will leave quickly."
After the dinner that day, Zhu Youtang and Zhang Zhou walked on the way out of the palace together.
Zhu Youtang is going to see his "little wife", the "imperial concubine" Xiaolian who is about to enter the palace outside the palace.
Xiaolian was conceived after the autumn of the first year, which was almost exactly the expected date of delivery. This is also related to the fact that there are only twenty-nine to thirty days in each month of the lunar calendar. It is more accurate to use the lunar calendar to calculate the pregnancy in October.
"Bingkuan, I haven't given your child a name yet. Do you have any favorite name?" Zhu Youtang knew that Zhang Zhou was going back to reunite with his family, and he would also see the newborn baby. My son will naturally ask with concern.
Zhang Zhouxin said.
I agreed that you would give me a name, so why are you asking me what my plans are?
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, please give me a name."
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, " I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have to give your child a name, but it also gives you a headache."
Zhu Youtang is really stumped by the name.
It is not difficult in itself, but the problem is that Zhu Youtang is very superstitious, and even thinks that Zhu Houwei's death is related to the poor naming, so the name should not only be loud, but also let his son live a few more years. The best one will be given to the son who may be born to him, of course it may also be a daughter, and the not-so-good one will be given to the Zhang Zhou family
"Well, how about calling her Zhang Lin?" Zhu Youtang asked with a smile.
Zhang Zhou frowned.
This is the same as Zhu Feng’s eldest brother. They both have the same character as Lin. Your emperor’s naming is so poor.
But when I think about my eldest nephew named Zhang Ping, it seems more It's nothing but the name of that boy named Zhang Jun. It sounds better but is actually half as good.
"Thank you for the name, Your Majesty." Zhang Zhou handed over his hand.
"Hahaha" Zhu Youtang said with great satisfaction, as if he had accomplished a difficult task that was hanging in his mind, "In a few days, after my beloved concubine gives birth, I can feel at ease. Yes. "Brother Bingkuan, can you test me now to see if it's a boy or a girl?"
This is also the question that Zhu Youtang is most concerned about.
The child has not been born, and she hopes to have another son to ensure the stability of the royal heir, but she is afraid that she will give birth to a daughter and let her joy be in vain.
We will have to work hard then. Zhu Youtang is obviously not a diligent old cow when it comes to "farming".
Zhang Zhou said truthfully, "Your Majesty, what I want to say is that your prince or princess is not in the destiny. It can be said that he is the dragon brought by your Majesty after he changed his destiny. "Sir, I can't use heaven's secrets to calculate."
"Really?"
When others say this, Zhu Youtang is not going to fool me.
p>But when Zhang Zhou said this, Zhu Youtang felt a kind of "fear" from the bottom of his heart. It was a kind of "fear" that was clearly determined by his fate, but with the help of Zhang Zhou, he changed his fate and changed his life. It's a blessing to change one's destiny in the future against the will of heaven, but there will also be retribution in the event that God fails to fulfill one's wishes.
Superstitious people, what we fear most is some kind of disaster caused by God’s will.
"Your Majesty, as we are about to reach the palace gate, I will not accompany you there." Zhang Zhou said.
"Yes." Zhu Youtang nodded, "Go and see Wu Hao. If he doesn't know the truth, I will kick him out of the palace gate Qintian Prison tomorrow. What happened in the past two years? I haven't done anything yet. It's rare for him to do something for me this time. Bingkuan, it's up to you."
The king and his ministers parted ways.
Zhang Zhou went to see Wu Hao, and Zhu Youtang went to see his little wife.
In the dark of night, Zhang Zhou came to Wu Hao's mansion. When Wu Hao heard that Zhang Zhou was coming in person, 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 to talk." Zhang Zhou said with a smile.
"Mr. Lai Guogong, you have something big to do." Wu Hao was even a little afraid to contact Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou knew why without guessing. At his insistence, the two of them went to the west wing of Wu Hao's courtyard together. After sitting down, Wu Hao even replaced the tung oil lamp with a candle.
This will make the room brighter.
"Everyone, please step aside. I have guests today. No one is allowed to come and disturb me," Wu Hao said.
The old servant exited and closed the door.
Zhang Zhou said, "Wu Jianzheng has encountered a lot of troubles recently, right?"
"Ah, no," Wu Hao quickly wanted to deny.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I just returned to the capital, and I heard that many people have visited you recently, and they seem to be waiting for an opportunity."
"Opportunity" Wu Hao was also praised by Zhang Zhou Confused.
When he realized what was going on, he hurriedly denied, "It's nothing. Duke Lai, you should know that I am just an ordinary Imperial Supervisor. My ability is not as good as yours, let alone incompetent." To achieve God's will, at most, if there is a change in the horoscope, report it truthfully. If there is really nothing or tampering, it is the ability to speculate on God's will."
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I'm just here to discuss it with you. I don’t know if my calculation is accurate regarding matters related to God’s will.”
“You have calculated something big again.”
Wu Hao wanted to say, you can figure it out, you and your majesty. Mention it.
What do you mean by telling me? Do you think I have the ability to help you with the details? Your ability is beyond my reach.
Zhang Zhou said, "To tell the truth, I have also heard that some people want to use God's will and disasters to criticize me and want me to step down from the government. Today I will also ask your Majesty to ask for help." I resigned and said I wanted to live a stable life for a few days."
Wu Hao""
The most capable minister of the Ming Dynasty, Duke Lai Guo, who was omnipotent and even understood the will of heaven. I don’t want to be an official anymore
“I’m tired.” Zhang Zhou said, “I am just an idler. Before I passed the Jinshi exam, I wrote a poem. I don’t know whether Supervisor Wu can be a good official. Have you heard?"
Wu Hao asked, "Peach trees are planted under Peach Blossom Mountain, and peach blossoms are picked for wine money."
"Look, even Wu Jianzheng knows that I am not good at this.The ambition of Qi, I don’t know why it is like this. "Zhang Zhoudao.
Wu Hao looked embarrassed and said, "Probably people who reach heaven are protected by immortals and are looking for a comfortable and contented life in paradise. Only by returning to nature like this can they be able to enter the fairyland in the future. I can understand. ”
Zhang Zhou smiled.
I haven’t understood it myself yet, but Wu Hao understood it for me
Zhang Zhou said, “I’m not very good either. I like to argue with the ministers of the DPRK. Since they want me to retreat now, I will retreat first. I plan to search for fairy grass and elixirs everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if I don't seek immortality, I hope to extend my life. It can also help His Majesty fulfill his wish of prolonging his life and strengthening his body. "
When Wu Hao heard this, he stared and said, "Mr. Lai Guo, you really think so."
"Yes. Zhang Zhou said, "Wu Jianzheng, you can be considered a Taoist priest. Do you think we as Taoists should retreat and seek peace when faced with attacks from others, or should we fight to the death?"
"Uh. "
Wu Hao compared his feelings with his own and sighed, "That should be avoided. Besides, with your current power, even if you step down from the court, you are still a duke with a title, and you can win a lot. Your Majesty's trust. ”
Zhang Zhouxin said, it’s you Wu Hao who understands me.
Zhang Zhou said, “Wu Jianzheng, you really spoke to my heart. I think so too.” I have calculated this. On the Wuzi day of the seventh month, there will be strong winds in the capital, and there will be disasters of rain and hail. It may be that God does not want me, a monk, to serve the court, and specially reminded me to avoid it as soon as possible. "
"Ah"
Wu Hao was surprised again.
He counted with his fingers and asked, "What will happen in four or five days? "Everything can be calculated"
Zhang Zhou said, "In ancient times, Zhuge Kongming was proficient in celestial phenomena and could calculate the climate through celestial phenomena. Am I not good at it?"
"No, no, no, that's not the case." mean. Wu Hao said hurriedly, "Please tell me what you mean by this. Such matters should be raised with His Majesty." ”
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, “If you don’t tell Wu Jianzheng, why should I tell the ministers of the DPRK? It can’t be the case. I can impeach myself myself.”
“This”
Wu Hao felt that he was out of ideas again.
Zhang Zhou said, "Wu Jianzheng thought I was just talking nonsense and said it deliberately so that it could not be verified and let the world think that I was talking. Zhang has ulterior motives"
"No, no. "Wu Hao really thinks so.
You, Zhang Bingkuan, are so awesome that you can even predict hail disasters. Why do you tell me? Go ahead and say it yourself. If others don't admire your ability more, they will not dare to participate. I impeach you
Zhang Zhou said, "The purpose of my speaking out is to prevent disasters and provide disaster relief, and also to allow myself to escape unscathed. Recently, I have asked His Majesty for permission to go to Jiangnan, probably in a few days. After I won the first prize and even became the Duke of the country, I have never returned to Nanjing, not even to my ancestral graves. In fact,This is a bit unfilial. "
"Ah" Wu Hao thought.
What a filial son.
In order to go home to visit relatives and worship, he even resigned from the official position< /p>
Wu Hao reminded, "Mr. Lai Guo, let me be clear, someone is trying to impeach you. If you put all the responsibility for natural disasters and phenomena on yourself, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep your title." . ”
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, “It’s okay, Your Majesty will help me keep it.” Besides, isn’t it too childish to deprive me of my title just because of a natural disaster?”
That’s what he said, but Zhang Zhou knew that Wu Hao didn’t lie, thinking that Cheng Minzheng had been in trouble because of the bad weather in the capital. If it didn't happen, someone would impeach him and even lose his official position
If Cheng Minzheng, who was in Nanjing, said this, he would probably call Wu Jianzheng an expert.
Wu Hao thought for a while and nodded.
With the emperor's support behind him, it is unlikely that Zhang Zhou would lose the title he earned through military service because of a hailstorm.
Zhang Zhou smiled and asked, "Wu Jianzheng, after you learn this news, who are you going to tell it to first and how are you going to say it?"
"Me"
Wu Hao looked sad. .
You, Mr. Zhang, are really going to give people problems.
Just tell me, I can help you keep the secret, but you actually asked me to tell my people. Are you going to put me on the fire for disaster prevention and relief?
"Perhaps Wu Jianzheng has nothing to say about this hailstorm." Zhang Zhou said with his hands in hand, "I will stay here for the next few years." My life depends entirely on Supervisor Wu. "
Wu Hao said, "Then I'll go talk to Mr. Liu Ge."
"No. "Zhang Zhou said, "Wu Jianzheng should go to Tu Shangshu and tell him that he believes this very much, and you can't say it was me who said it. This is what His Majesty meant. "
"Your Majesty also knows about it"
Wu Hao found it even more incredible.
Zhang Zhou said, "Of course he knows, otherwise why would I come to you?" I originally wanted Your Majesty to find someone to leak the news and let me leave the court, but Your Majesty said that such a disaster should be warned in advance, and it was also to prepare the people of the capital for disaster, so I changed it. If others tell it, they will inevitably be said to be deceiving the public with rumors of disasters and monsters. "
"Then I" Wu Hao wanted to say, I will tell you. If it didn't happen, it wouldn't be deceiving the public.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "But Wu Jianzheng, it's different if you tell me." Well, you are the Qintian Supervisor, shouldn't you be responsible for such errands? You have reported so many celestial changes in the past, and this time I will give you a chance. ”
Wu Hao felt his face was getting hot.
He said to himself.
You, Zhang Bingkuan, might as well say it directly, I have played so many things before but it is not accurate. It's not bad this time, right?
