Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 180 Even a pig can do well!
Ever since Zhu Yunxi worshiped the three high sages as teachers, Lu found that her son had become taciturn, depressed, and even slack off in studying.

If it was normal, Lu would have raised the feather duster and spanked him.

However, she is also responsible for this incident, and she did not invite the three great sages before Zhu Yunxi, and felt ashamed of her son.

Mrs. Lu came to Wenhua Palace again, and wanted to discuss it with Huang Zicheng.It's just that after chatting with Huang Zicheng, he realized that Huang Zicheng's attitude was perfunctory, so he had no choice but to find someone else.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Lu felt that Zhang Zongjun, the attendant of Wenhua Palace, was very suitable.Although this person is not a high-ranking official, he is a very wise person.

Otherwise, he would not have been promoted to the palace as a scholar, and would have been selected as the prince's companion to study, and he would have accompanied the prince around.

The prince relied heavily on it during his lifetime.It's just that because of Lan Yu's relationship, it's inconvenient to reuse this person.

However, this is what Mr. Lu values ​​most.

Lan Yu once ordered his subordinates to forcefully buy the land and killed Zhang Zongjun's father. It can be said that Zhang Zongjun and Lan Yu had revenge for killing his father.

If you ask him for help, this person will definitely not refuse.

Sure enough, after a little testing by the Lu family, this person immediately expressed his willingness to follow Zhu Yunqi and help his son obtain the position of heir.

"Crown Princess, now that the seat of Daming is vacant, and His Majesty is pending, His Highness Yun Yun still has a great chance."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was naturally happy, but there was still a trace of sadness on her face.

"Ugh!"

"I'm just a ladylike family, so I shouldn't have such thoughts. It's just that His Highness liked Yun Wen very much during his lifetime, and he has high hopes for Yun Wen."

"Now because of his benevolence, Yun Wen is being forced into such a situation by his younger brother, I really can't bear to see it."

"One is the selfishness of sympathizing with my son, and the other is that I am afraid that no one will inherit the will of His Highness the Crown Prince, making His Highness the Crown Prince restless under the Nine Springs, blah blah..."

Zhang Zongjun sneered in his heart when he heard the words, but he didn't show it on his face, but praised the princess.

He has his demands, revenge is only one aspect, and on the other hand, he was born as a scholar, and he is really not worthy of attention in the court.

If you can't find a backer, the future will stop at the Seventh Grade Attendant.

Therefore, when the Crown Princess took the initiative to contact her, he immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

Because no matter in terms of jurisprudence or human feelings, Zhu Yunqi is the most suitable candidate to be the crown prince.

Although His Majesty loves Zhu Yunxi too much now, Zhu Yunxi's relatives are too powerful, which is a great hidden danger in the eyes of any emperor.

If he uses some small tricks again to cause some changes in the generals, His Majesty will definitely give up Zhu Yunxi.

However, this is all for another day, and it still depends on whether the Crown Princess throws enough chips.

"Prince Princess, there is no need to worry. His Royal Highness Yun Wen is old and naturally occupies the position of righteousness. As long as he does not make mistakes, he will be invincible."

"If it can be better and the affairs of the court will be beneficial, then no matter how much His Majesty favors His Highness King Wu, he can only try to compensate him in the fiefdom."

"In other words, His Majesty may not be unwilling to make up for the fact that His Majesty loves King Wu now."

Lu's heart felt a little relieved when she heard this, but when she thought of Zhu Yunxi's three new masters, she was upset for a while.

"What Master Zhang said is true, but how will Yang Xinlu, Qin Hengbo, and Gao Ming deal with it?"

"The three of them are all famous Confucian scholars all over the world, and many of their disciples are officials in the court."

"Now they support Zhu Yunxi, how will my son compete with them?"

Zhang Zongjun smiled slightly when he heard the words.

"Princess Concubine, haven't you found a problem?"

"what is the problem?"

"These three people are all from Jiangnan..."

"Your Majesty doesn't like Jiangnan literati, and most of the six imperial books come from the north. This is your Majesty's intention to suppress Jiangnan literati."

"Therefore, it may not be a good thing for Your Majesty that Zhu Yunxi won the support of the three great Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu's hanging heart finally found a solution, and she was really happy.

"I would like to thank Mr. Zhang for his advice. If my son ascends to the high position for a day, I will definitely tell him about the merits of Mr. Zhang, and let my son thank you again!"

Zhang Zongjue was also very happy when he heard this, which was exactly what he wanted.Moreover, Lu's sense of proportion is well grasped, it is really not suitable for him to show up now, let alone contact with Zhu Yunqi.

Because of Zhu Yunqi's special status, there must be many eyes around him, if he takes the initiative to approach Zhu Yunqi, it will make the current plan fall short.

"Prince Concubine, you are very polite. I am deeply favored by the Crown Prince. Helping and protecting the eldest son of His Royal Highness is not only a repayment to His Royal Highness, but also conforms to the righteousness of Confucian etiquette!"

When Mrs. Lu heard what Zhang Zongjun said, she hurriedly saluted and handed Zhang Zongjun a high hat.

"Mr. Gao Yi!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Wang'er, thank you Mr. Guo!"

"It's just that I don't know if Mr. Wang has a way to break the situation and make Wang'er regain His Majesty's favor?"

Zhang Zongjun turned sideways to avoid the big gift from the Crown Princess, and when he heard the Crown Princess' words, he hurriedly bowed and replied.

"This matter is easy to handle, all you need is to ask His Royal Highness Yun Yun to write a letter and ask for orders to serve the court."

When Mrs. Lu heard this method, his eyes immediately showed excitement, and he asked impatiently.

"Please advise, sir, how to proceed specifically?"

"Daming's weapon production is divided into two categories: military weapons and military battles. Among them, military weapons are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the materials required are complicated. The craftsmen employed are often tens of thousands. As long as one link is not handled properly, it will cause big problems. .”

"Comparatively speaking, it is easier to make military battles, they are just items like saddles and bridles."

"The Crown Princess can ask His Royal Highness Yun Wen to write a letter to His Majesty, willing to supervise the military situation and do a little bit for the court. His Majesty will most likely agree."

"Because His Majesty is also very hesitant now, and has not completely given up on His Highness Yun Yu. As long as His Highness Yun Yun shows certain achievements, he will definitely be able to regain His Majesty's favor!"

Lu was overjoyed to hear this.

"Thank you, sir, for your clarification. It's just that I still have a little doubt. Wang'er is young, and he doesn't have a senior person to help him. Will he be at a loss if he takes over the general affairs rashly?"

As soon as Zhang Zongjun heard this, he understood that it was the princess who asked him to help Zhu Yunqi find a helper.

"This matter is not difficult. As long as the Crown Princess concubine borrows something from the minister, the minister will naturally be able to find enough helpers for His Royal Highness Yunqi."

"What?"

"Feng Yin'er, the Empress!"

When Mrs. Lu suddenly heard Zhang Zongjun say "Phoenix Seal", a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Generally speaking, only the queen's golden seal can be called the Phoenix seal. Zhang Zongjun's remark is a bit too presumptuous.

But after Mrs. Lu was a little flustered, she still had a little joy in her heart, feeling that this person was indeed on the right track.

"What is the use of my palace's gold seal, sir?"

"It is necessary to keep the seal of the empress as a token, otherwise, how can the servants of the six departments listen to the words of a small official of the seventh rank?"

……

The Minister of the Ministry of household affairs is worth the house.

As soon as Chen Zongli made himself a pot of good tea, he saw Ruchang, Minister of the Ministry of War, walking over leisurely.

Ru often sniffed and praised.

"That's right, you actually have Yunwu Bud Tea here!"

Chen Zongli smiled smugly, thinking that he didn't care what we were doing, it would be too embarrassing if he guarded the household department without tea.

"I'll pack you two catties later?"

"mean!"

Ru Chang stretched out five fingers and slapped Chen Zongli's table hard.

"Five catties!"

"it is good!"

The two sat down and drank tea for a while, and then Ru Chang pretended to say something casually.

"Fu Su suffers..."

Chen Zongli was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Ru Chang in puzzlement.

Ru Chang stepped forward quietly, and took out a palm-sized note from his sleeve, with a faint gold seal printed on it - the seal of the princess.

Chen Zongli was shocked when he saw this object, he quickly compared it with it, and returned it to Ru Chang after confirming that it was correct.

Ru Chang took the note, took out the fire pocket directly from his sleeve, lit it and threw it into a dead flowerpot. After it was all burned to ashes, he blew hard to blow away all the ashes of the paper, and then re-opened. Speak up.

"Although Fusu is a good man, he cannot help but end up on the frontier. Although Hu Hai is inferior, he is always by the side of the first emperor. What can I do?"

Ru Chang's nonsense words, if it were someone else, they would definitely be confused.But Chen Zongli only thought about it for a while, and he knew that this guy was borrowing the past to satirize the present, and it was instructed by the crown princess.

"But do you want to compare?"

Ru Chang nodded, then lowered his voice.

"Over there means the military battle situation, what do you think?"

Chen Zongli thought for a while when he heard the words.

"The war situation is really good."

"Now there is a shortage of iron everywhere, and you can't buy it if you have money. Although the Ministry of Households allocated 15 taels of silver to the third emperor's grandson, this amount of money is simply not enough to buy enough iron and charcoal."

"But relatively speaking, the military battle situation is much simpler. The iron materials used for the saddle and bridle are not much, and the words written in various places can still be raised."

"Add another 10,000+ taels of silver in the past, and give more salt and food to the craftsmen. The group of craftsmen must be grateful to Dade and appreciate His Royal Highness Yunwen's kindness."

Ru saw that Chen Zongli understood what he meant, so he didn't sit any longer, and casually took out a document from his sleeve and threw it on the table.

"Hurry up and approve it for me, it's not my trip in vain!"

Chen Zongli opened the document and saw that it was a document for appropriating food and grass for the frontier army.

These documents can be fast or slow, urgent or slow, but the Secretary of the Ministry of Labor delivered them in person, which is somewhat of a fuss.

However, this is a pretense.Otherwise, the two Ministers of the Ministry got together to chat and spread the suspicion of forming a clique for personal gain.

Chen Zongli happily stamped the document, wrote the approval document, and handed it to Ru Chang with a smile.

"Is it self-recommended, or should we help?"

Ru Chang heard the words and sighed.

"Let's go!"

"Fusu is not welcome by the first emperor, and has already been exiled to the frontier. If you don't take the initiative to find opportunities to get close to the first emperor, your way of speaking will be blocked by Zhao Gao and others!"

A trace of worry flashed across Chen Zongli's face upon hearing this.

"Self-recommendation is naturally the best, but I'm afraid Fusu Ren is weak and won't save face..."

Ru often smiled wryly when he heard this.

"We've put so much effort into him, so he has to show something, right?"

"If he waits to eat ready-made everything, he will end up with nothing to eat!"

"However, if he really wins it, then you have to cooperate with all your strength, and don't let him screw it up!"

Chen Zongli laughed when he heard the words.

"To be honest, with the convenience I provide, even a pig can do well in a military battle!"

Ru Chang heard the words and laughed.

"So good!"

"Then the official will leave first, and go back to pick a few experienced and reliable people for Fusu!"
