Chapter 239(2/2)
Although you can deal with Li Dongyang, you can't deal with the emperor.
Even if Zhang Zhou is not given the title of "Mr.", those Wu Xun who go to study will still regard Zhang Zhou as "Mr." The Ming Dynasty is such a realistic place, don't blame Wu Xun for clinging to the powerful, it's not because of Tumu Fort After that, the Ming Dynasty Wu Xun had no status? If he didn’t flatter Zhang Zhou, would he continue to be bullied by your civil servants?
…
…
The four civil servants left Qianqing Palace, and the emperor also went to the inner garden of the palace.
Dai Yi and other four eunuchs also had to return to the supervisor's duty room. They still had many memorials to review. In the past two days, due to the Liaodong victory, the emperor had delayed many things and needed to hurry up.
"...After this incident, I'm afraid this Mr. Zhang will become Mr. Zhang in the military. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
Chen Kuan asked as he followed the three of them.
Dai Yi kept walking and said coldly: "You shouldn't worry about it, don't ask."
Wei Bin said: "So, those four elders didn't object?"
Even Dai Yi himself didn't understand this.
Is it difficult to object? Or do I not want to object?
Xiao Jing said with a smile: "From someone's perspective, there seems to be no consensus among the four. Some of them want to oppose, but some want to compromise, and some may even vaguely support it."
Dai Yi glanced at him: "You have seen a lot? It's okay to oppose compromise. Who will support it?"
Xiao Jing just smiled and didn't answer much.
Dai Yi said: "You must remember that Mr. Zhang, as your Majesty's most trusted person, has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. No matter what your Majesty wants to reward him, it will not be inappropriate. Those who talk too much will not end well. So what if it’s the elders and ministers? Is it possible that His Majesty will listen to his objections to His Majesty’s employment? You finally know what His Majesty talked to Mr. Zhang yesterday when we were away, right?”
The remaining three people suddenly seemed to have come to their senses.
It was impossible for those foreign ministers to know when the emperor met Zhang Zhou and what they talked about.
Only these four eunuchs, the ceremonial supervisors, were very close to the emperor. Even when the emperor was handling official business, one or more of them would be waiting on him and know the content of the conversation.
If the emperor had the idea of opening a military academy, whether Zhang Zhou took the initiative or the emperor came up with a rough idea, at least this matter needed to be discussed and decided, then they could only negotiate with the three cabinet members before At that time, Zhang Zhou and the emperor negotiated on their own.
"This Mr. Zhang's scheming is not simple. If you think that he did this just to make friends, I'm afraid that he is one step away from the chess master. If no one among the four can even see this, then they may still Not as good as us!"
Dai Yi put forward another bold idea.
This matter may not have been brought up by Zhang Zhou himself at all, but the emperor felt it was necessary to cultivate some elite generals who could use artillery and yellow gunpowder. The emperor wanted to help Zhang Zhou cultivate a few generals who could use them well.
As for the emperor doing this, did he worry that Zhang Zhou might rebel against this...
At this time, the relationship between the emperor and Zhang Zhou was still in the "honeymoon period". Would the emperor have such worries and considerations?
However, as the "close friends" around the emperor, the four supervisors had to worry about this aspect. Now the power of artillery manufacturing was in Zhang Zhou's hands, and he could even teach the generals of the army and even accept them as party members. With the power also obtained, who knows whether Zhang Zhou can always stick to his heart?
But the problem is...
Who is going to tell the emperor to be on guard against Zhang Zhou?
How can we get along with each other in the future if Zhang Zhou finds out about something that has not even been mentioned by the civil servants?
If this person said it, the emperor would definitely turn his face and explain to Zhang Zhou, and even the emperor himself would punish the person who suggested it. This was their difficulty.
…
…
Zhang Zhou did not go to Qianqing Palace. He had to give lectures to Zhu Houzhao in the morning.
"Sir? What's the matter? Has my father mentioned to you that I want to teach more generals? When I mentioned it to my father before, he said he would consider it."
What made Dai Yi and Liu Jian unlucky was that it was not Zhang Zhou or Zhu Youtang who brought up this matter first.
But Zhu Houzhao.
As for Zhu Houzhao's mention, no one knows whether Zhang Zhou was secretly hinting at it.
But Liu Jin, who was beside Zhu Houzhao, now desperately wanted to become Zhang Zhou's student.
When Liu Jin usually brings tea and water to Zhang Zhou, his little eyes are filled with admiration.
Zhang Zhou said: "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Zhu Houzhao frowned.
Zhang Zhou sighed: "Prince, you didn't seem to know how powerful my artillery was before, right? As for the gunpowder... have you seen it with your own eyes? What will your Majesty think if you propose this to His Majesty? Don't you think it's me? I am a school, and I want to cultivate some of my own students, so why not form a party for personal gain?"
"Uh...is it so complicated?"
Zhu Houzhao emphasized doing things casually, and his awareness of political thinking was the same as that of a child at his age.
As for the enthusiasm for military affairs, it is just a child's play.
Liu Jin smiled and said: "Even if it is not a martial arts school, it would be an ordinary school. Find a few people to learn from Master Zhang. I am willing to serve Master Zhang."
Zhang Zhou glared at him.
My heart says that you are really a pushover, and you will do anything to please the prince.
"Mr. Zhang, if you don't teach others, you should teach me, right? I'm smarter than others, and I will definitely learn it once you teach me, and I can learn better than them all."
Zhu Houzhao made this suggestion because he wanted to learn it himself.
Even Zhu Houzhao himself wanted to be a teacher and teach those people. The result of becoming a teacher would be that those people would be his disciples. In the future, he could lead a group of his students to flatten the grassland... It is exciting to think about it.
Zhang Zhou said: "Okay, as long as your majesty asks me to teach, I will teach. Otherwise... haha, you understand."
Zhu Houzhao said with a depressed face: "If you don't tell my father, my father may not let me learn for the rest of my life. Even if he doesn't want to teach, he will find reasons to frustrate me! I will never learn the Four Books and Five Classics you taught me again!" "
"Thank you very much. It's best for me to leave the East Palace and go back to my job as a country man. I think it's better for me to study artillery at home every day than to teach you a naughty kid here!"
"Who are you calling a naughty kid?"
"It's you, what?"
Zhang Zhou grimaced.
Liu Jin was startled and quickly made peace: "Your Highness, Master Zhang, please calm down."
Zhu Houzhao was very angry at first, and then shook his ugly face: "I don't know what naughty child means, but I know it must not be a good word. A naughty child is a naughty child. If you look down on me, I am also the crown prince of Ming Dynasty. I don't accept it. ?After you become a minister, I will order you to teach. If you object..."
"Your Highness, be careful." Liu Jin warned.
What I mean is, Your Highness, don't tell me too much. If he doesn't like it and kills you with a bolt of lightning, he can rely on God's will to do so. I'm afraid even your father may not sympathize with you.
Zhu Houzhao hummed: "If you don't teach me, we'll just wait and see!"
