Zhang Zhou also adopted the attitude of "if you like it, do it, if you don't, get out".

You are begging me to do something, but what else do you want me to promise?

Besides, who said that I am here to help you two girls? You don’t know how many pounds you have to weigh?

…

…

Zhang Zhou sent Ning Tong away and immediately called Zhu Feng.

"Zhijie, you are really going to cause trouble for me. You know that I am greeting His Majesty today, but you actually let your ex-wife come to make trouble with me? Do you want to send her to the palace to become the imperial concubine?"

Zhang Zhou asked coldly.

"ah?"

Zhu Feng was so frightened after hearing this, "She...she...is really here? I...I just told her two days ago...I can't find you recently, I only saw you here..." "

"I came here to do business. Do you think I came to the theater for fun?"

Zhang Zhouxin said that she was really defeated by this strange couple.

To say that the most suitable couple is you two.

You can't be husband and wife, but you can also be sisters. If you stay under the same roof and harm each other, why do you have to cause trouble for others?

"Your Majesty has met Tong'er? Your Majesty... what did you say?" Zhu Feng knew that his ex-wife might be favored by the emperor, and she was still very disappointed.

Zhang Zhou said: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, what do you expect His Majesty to say?"

Zhu Feng thought so too.

I've only met once, what can I say?

The emperor wouldn't just snatch someone into the palace to be his concubine, would he?

"Brother Zhang, it was my fault. If she bothers me again in the future, I will definitely not talk about you...even if you kill me!" Zhu Feng vowed.

Zhang Zhou sighed.

In fact, he also understood that Zhu Feng had very soft ears.

Once faced with a powerful woman, such as Ning Tong, or Lin Yi, who had been aggressively asking him for help, Zhu Feng didn't know what to choose, and it seemed as if he, Zhu Feng, couldn't move around after seeing a woman.

But in fact, this is all caused by Zhu Feng's tendency to seek abuse.

Zhu Feng looked up at Zhang Zhou and said: "Brother Zhang, I really think it's good for Tong'er to follow you. If you let her enter the palace... it will harm her! You must not let her enter the palace."

"Okay, don't talk about useless things." Zhang Zhou said, "Are you not short of money recently?"

"Huh?" Zhu Feng looked confused.

Zhang Zhoudao: "There is a bidding for the business of rebuilding Pianguan Guancheng. You can ask people from Huizhou to take it and ask them to bid lower. Use good wood, stone and masonry. In short, don't let the nobles or nobles of the capital now.

Is it okay if someone else takes over the business?"

Zhu Feng nodded: "No problem. But...don't you want to help Tong'er?"

Zhang Zhou asked: "You want her to enter the palace, right?"

"No... I didn't mean that!" Zhu Feng quickly denied.

"Then listen to me!" Zhang Zhou said sternly.

Zhu Feng was still confused. He couldn't figure out how finding someone to snatch the business that Chen's daughter and Ning Tong were bidding for had anything to do with Ning Tong's entry into the palace.

But what happened today, he felt, might have ruined Zhang Zhou's plan. Now Zhang Zhou is angry again. With his character of being a doormat, of course he will obey whatever Zhang Zhou says, so he won't be that stupid.

Then think about the reason behind this.

…

…

Two days later, it was the day of bidding.

The bid documents from all parties have been submitted. While Zhang Zhou was not participating, he had to teach the prince that day.

What he taught Zhu Houzhao that day was "New Book of Tang".

The traditional Four Books and Five Classics are now mostly taught by the Donggong Lecturer. Zhang Zhou also fully considered his relationship with Wang Hao, the foreman of the Donggong Lecturer, and felt that there was no need for him to overwhelm other people's errands.

Moreover, what the emperor valued about him was not how good he was at speaking about the Four Books and Five Classics, but rather because he could speak something different.

Teaching history books is something Zhu Youtang specially arranged for Zhang Zhou to do. After all, Zhu Houzhao has now completed the basic coursework in the Four Books and Five Classics. In about half a year, he can try to write simple articles. Now it is more

It is necessary to enrich Zhu Houzhao's historical and cultural knowledge and allow him to develop both political integrity and talent.

"Master Zhang, Eunuch Xiao is here, saying that His Majesty invites you to come to the Palace of Qianqing for a talk." Zhang Zhou was talking to Zhu Houzhao so enthusiastically that the teacher and student even had no quarrel between the emperor and his ministers or between teacher and student. They were discussing the pros and cons of the Anshi Rebellion.

when.

Here Liu Jin came over and informed Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou said: "Prince, you should review it by yourself first. I have to go to see His Majesty first."

Zhu Houzhao said: "We are getting to the key point. I also want to discuss with you how to defeat them if I were leading the troops to fight An Lushan. Why are you so disappointed?"

Zhang Zhou said angrily: "If you have any objections, bring it to your Majesty's attention! Do you want me to resist the decree?"

"Well……"

Zhu Houzhao thought so too.

This was because his father wanted to summon Zhang Zhou, and there was no way he could push it away.

"Then come back quickly. I'll do some research on my own first. Who is that... bring me the map of Guanzhong. I want to study it carefully..."

…

…

Zhang Zhou also discovered that Zhu Houzhao was more enthusiastic about military affairs than any other cultural knowledge.

I used to think that this kid was too playful, but now it seems that Zhu Houzhao actually inherited many of his talents in this area from his seemingly frail father.

Zhang Zhou and Xiao Jing walked to Qianqing Palace together.

"Mr. Zhang, I won't hide it from you. You already know it. The news just came from Pianguan. It's... a funeral report!"

"Both Ma Shangshu and Mr. Liu Ge of the Ministry of War are here. I just learned about this matter and your Majesty summoned them."

"Externally, no one knows this news."

Xiao Jing had privately revealed the biggest "secret" of the current imperial court. The so-called "announcement of mourning" was obviously not an ordinary person.

That can only be Wang Yue.

As expected, Old Man Wang still did not return to the capital. Time is not forgiving. After hearing this, Zhang Zhou still felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Seeing Zhang Zhou's expression of emotion, Xiao Jing couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Zhou shook his head and said: "If last year, I didn't give him the medicine and he died in the northwest, I wouldn't be so emotional. After getting to know him, after all... I still can't compete with destiny."

Xiao Jing said: "You don't have to blame yourself. Marquis Weining's fate is determined by heaven. You have helped him extend his life. More importantly, you have helped him fulfill his last wish before his death. It is said that Marquis Weining still has a suicide note and is on his way to the capital. On the way, besides giving it to His Majesty, there is also something for you... He has a soul in heaven, and he will also thank you for everything you have done for the Wang family."

"well!"

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, my relationship with Wang Yue was at best an acquaintance of interest.

But now, he and Wang Mingshan are de facto husband and wife. Wang Mingshan's grandfather, Zhang Zhou, is also regarded as family, and he does not have many emotional ties in this world.

Thinking about the compliments that Old Man Wang usually gave him, they were just embellishments. What was more important was that Wang Yue and he conspired together to complete the battle at Piantou Pass, and then they both "appreciated" Zhu Feng. Even if they didn't know each other for long, But we can also have heart-to-heart conversations, probably because "heroes cherish heroes".

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhou suddenly smiled like a self-mockery.

Compared with Wang Weining, who is he?

"Mr. Zhang, with the departure of Marquis Weining, the situation in the northwest has changed drastically. He said that the Tatars should stop fighting in Pianguan and Ningyuan, but now only Liaodong is stable, and the northwest is still uneasy. If the Tatars know about it at this time ……well!"

Xiao Jing was a little worried.

This also explains the emperor's purpose in summoning him, Liu Jian, and Ma Wensheng.

Zhang Mao and other honorable ministers were not summoned, which means that the emperor wanted to discuss today to avoid Wu Xun, so he could only discuss who should go to the northwest to replace Wang Yue, so as to act as a needle to stabilize the sea.

Zhang Zhou said: "The changes in the situation in the northwest are due to changes in the pattern of the grassland, and are also directly related to the severe drought in the grassland in the past year. Let's talk about it after meeting with His Majesty."
