"Binzhi, what do you think?" Liu Jian asked.

Li Dongyang shook his head: "I think it doesn't make much difference whether Zhang Bingkuan is in the Governor's Mansion or the Hanlin, whether he is civilized or military, or in which public house he is in. His Majesty's reliance on him may be deepened. Now I am afraid that others will see it.

If this tendency tilts and moves closer to him, it will have a greater impact on the court."

"Yeah." Liu Jian nodded in agreement.

No matter where Zhang Zhou was, the emperor would trust him wherever he should, and he would not change if he asked Zhang Zhou for advice.

But the problem is who will be around Zhang Zhou.

If there were only people like Wang Yue, Zhu Feng, and Xiao Jing, traditional civil servants wouldn't care about them at all, and they wouldn't be able to influence the order of the court.

But if Cheng Minzheng, Lin Han, or even Xu Qiong, Wang Hao and others start to surround Zhang Zhou, then Zhang Zhou's influence in the government will expand instantly. These people do not necessarily need to "take refuge" in Zhang Zhou. It can even be said that they just have to.

If there is any contact, it is equivalent to a potential political ally, which is enough to make traditional civil servants drink a pot.

What do traditional civil servants rely on to survive today?

Mainly they rely on the emperor's trust, and then they rely on their indispensable power in governing the country, that is, their connections.

Zhang Zhouguang had trust in him before and there was no one around him. No matter how awesome Zhang Zhou was, the emperor would not be able to replace the entire court with Zhang Zhou.

But if there is a group of capable people around Zhang Zhou, this group of people can even vaguely replace Liu Jian and others. At that time, even if Liu Jian and others are still in their positions, their influence in the court will be greatly reduced.

A new force will rise, and many traditional civil servants will also change jobs...

By then, who is the "orthodox civil official" will be a different matter.

Xie Qian asked with a smile: "Then do you think it was Bingkuan himself who asked Keqin to go to Nanjing, or His Majesty?"

"Um?"

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang also thought about this issue.

It seems like a trivial matter, Cheng Minzheng returned to the court and went to Nanjing to become a bachelor... But whether the transfer of Cheng Minzheng to Nanjing came from the emperor or Zhang Zhou's proposal is a very key "clue".

Li Dongyang frowned and said: "Yu Qiao, what you said is absolutely true. If Zhang Bingkuan really took the initiative to bring this matter up, then he might have taken the initiative to express his goodwill to me and others, indicating that he had no intention of forming a party. If it was brought up by His Majesty, it was for His Majesty's sake.

It is necessary to restrict Zhang Bingkuan’s tendency to form a party...it is beneficial and harmless to oppose us."

"Yeah." Liu Jian nodded.

this analysis.

If Zhang Zhou wanted to play a big game and form his own faction in the court, dragging the troubled Cheng Minzheng into his gang would be an even greater advantage.

There were too many people in the DPRK who sympathized with Cheng Minzheng. The influence that Cheng Minzheng could bring to Zhang Zhou was not comparable to that of Lin Hanneng.

But Cheng Minzheng had to be transferred to Nanjing.

What does this mean?

Zhang Zhou still regarded himself as a traditional civil servant and did not escape this category.

Xie Qian smiled again and said: "Is it possible that he just lowered his figure deliberately to wait for the future..."

Li Dongyang glanced at him and said: "Yu Qiao, it's no wonder that others always say that you don't know what to say. It's you who keeps talking over and over again. At least until now, Zhang Bingkuan is still in the Hanlin Academy, and the benefits of revising books outweigh the disadvantages. Then

That’s enough! As for what the future will bring, can you tell me accurately?”

"Yes." Xie Qian was still laughing.

Li Dongyang said: "But I still feel that if he went to the Governor's Mansion, maybe we wouldn't have to worry so much. At that time... it would be more straightforward!"

Regardless of whether Zhang Zhou was more awesome at that time.

But at least the "Jingwei" was "distinct". Zhang Zhou became a martial artist and became antagonistic to the civil officials.

From now on, there is no need to think about whether to attract or exclude, just do it!

It's better now.

Keeping Zhang Zhou in the Hanlin Academy would require them to worry too much about Zhang Zhou's progress and retreat, whether he was good or bad.

Even Li Dongyang felt that it was more difficult to control Zhang Zhou than to let Zhang Zhou go to the Governor's Mansion!

…

…

Duanjing Hall.

"Mr. Zhang, you are so awesome. You have compiled a book by yourself, right? How many words? Are there four books and five classics? Tell me about it!"

Zhang Zhou was still giving lectures to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao heard that Zhang Zhou was so awesome that he wrote a book... Mainly because Liu Jin and others helped brag about his awesomeness, and then Zhu Houzhao admired Zhang Zhou to the point of falling in love.

Zhang Zhou said: "The important thing is not the number of words, but the establishment of rules. Do you think it is so easy to do research?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Houzhao found that his brain was not enough.

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Master Zhang probably means that there must be more words than the Four Books and Five Classics. Think about it, Master Zhang can write a lot of martial arts scripts in one night. It took several months to complete the book."

, can there be fewer words?”

"Yes, yes, Lao Liu, I didn't expect you to be quite smart. I am impressed by this."

"Your Highness is full of compliments."

Zhang Zhou frowned at the side, watching the master and servant exchanging blows in business, and their heads were quite big.

This kid didn't learn anything else, but he learned the tricks of perfunctory compliments very quickly. He seemed to learn whatever he liked from the people he followed. Before he grew up, he learned the tricks and perfunctory tricks of adults first.

"Prince, class is on! Take out your books!"

Zhang Zhou didn't want to talk nonsense and wanted to act like a strict teacher. He even carried the ruler in his hand and was ready to give a good lesson.

Zhu Houzhao said: "You haven't talked about the book repair yet. How did you write so many words? And where did you hear those martial arts scripts in the past? Why haven't I heard them from others before?

Hey...what are you doing? Don't scare me with this thing!"

"I can know the future. Can't I bring the books from the future and use them in the present?"

Zhang Zhou walked up to Zhu Houzhao with a ruler and pointed at the contents of the book with the ruler, "I'll give you half an hour to memorize these two pages. I'll go out and go back to check. If you can't memorize it...

"

"What do you mean? You run away by yourself and let me carry you here?"

"Hmph! If you don't carry it, you will suffer the consequences when you come back! You can weigh it yourself!"

Zhang Zhou is just here to give Zhu Houzhao homework, and he will go to see Queen Mother Zhou later.

He also found that whenever he entered a palace, he would be very busy, as if everyone wanted to let him go, and there would always be something he had to do.

…

…

Inside Qingning Palace.

When Zhang Zhou came, Empress Dowager Zhou did not even stay with Jiang Lu. Everyone retreated, leaving only Zhang Zhou to talk.

"Dream Interpretation..." Queen Mother Zhou had just started, and suddenly thought that Zhang Zhou was different from ordinary people, so she changed the subject, "If I marry your Majesty now, are you sure of the inheritance?"

"Twenty percent."

Zhang Zhoudao.

Empress Dowager Zhou sighed: "It's still a little less. Bingkuan, you have to step up. If you don't wait until the day when the Ai family still opens their eyes, you will probably lose the 20% chance."

"hehe."

Zhang Zhou smiled.

The old lady just had to tell him directly, besides the Ai family, who else would care about this matter? Once the Ai family dies, if you want to help the emperor get a concubine, you will have no allies! You will have to fight alone.

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "You have always said that the emperor should leave the palace and see more of the local customs and beauty outside. When will you do it?"

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Forgive me, the Empress Dowager, but there is no reason for me recently. Your Majesty will not leave the palace easily. If the so-called worldly beauty is sent to the palace... it will be too annoying."

"Then let's find an opportunity and ask the emperor to go to Changning Bo's Mansion or Qingyun Marquis' Mansion. You can just say there is an auspicious sign there and ask the emperor to go and have a look, can't you?"

Queen Mother Zhou seemed very anxious and took the initiative to give Zhang Zhou advice.

Zhang Zhou shook his head: "In this matter, it is better not to deceive Your Majesty. If you act too deliberately, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be repulsed. Everything will fall into place naturally."

Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Zhang Zhou and said: "I'm afraid that you are just perfunctory in the end. The two boys from the Zhang family have benefited a lot from you recently. I heard that they are also very complimentary to you. Don't forget that you are here for

The blessing of the Ming Dynasty! The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has spread its branches and leaves, is it for the Ai family alone?"

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, I will step up." Zhang Zhou said.
