Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 449 The vassal king fell into the water, and the nobles slapped themselves!

After a while.

Zhang Gui actually laughed: "Your Highness's words are correct. After all, you are His Majesty's uncle, and you should be decent. It's okay to spread a word alone. But you should understand, how can the word be passed on in vain?" Send a message?"

"Think about it, if Gu agrees to you today, to deliver a message for you, the Great Ming Emperor, then tomorrow, if someone else comes to beg, and it is the Emperor's uncle or aunt, wouldn't Gu have to pass the message?"

Seeing Zhang Gui's sense of humor, Zhu Changrun calmed down his anger and laughed, "Of course I won't let you spread the word for nothing."

As he said that, Zhu Changrun stretched out his five roots: "After the thing is done, how about thanking you with 5 taels?"

Zhang Guidao: "You know that you are not short of silver, and you don't just like silver."

"If so what do you like!"

Zhu Changrun asked.

Zhang Gui said: "Please ask the uncle to move to the backyard. We have newly moved a good Taihu stone in our backyard. It is one foot high and has a strange shape. Let's talk while looking at the stone. How about it?"

"Row!"

Zhu Changrun agreed without hesitation.

From Zhu Changrun's point of view, as long as Zhang Gui is willing to reap the benefits and fight for the benefits of these powerful people, he will naturally not embarrass Zhang Gui.

Zhu Changrun also got up and asked the people from Dongping Palace to lead the way to the backyard.

As for Zhang Gui, he gave Liu Zongmin a wink.

Liu Zongmin understood, and followed Zhu Changrun to the inner courtyard of the palace first.

As soon as Zhu Changrun walked to the rockery here, he was really attracted by a Taihu stone in front of him, and he directly stood on the Lintan Pingshi Bridge to admire it.

Suddenly, Liu Zongmin only moved his elbow, and there was a splash, and a large circle of white spray suddenly appeared in a pool of deep water.

Zhang Gui watched this scene silently.

He originally wanted to get rid of Zhu Changrun in a more brutal and direct way, so that the dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty would have a long memory, but he thought that maybe the dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty knew the benefits, and they would prefer him to use this method to get rid of Zhu Changrun. However, other sensible dignitaries will not tear themselves apart with Uncle Zhang Guo who can still bring them benefits because of this.

The bigger reason for Zhu Changrun's end today is because of his personality.

Of course, it is also related to the brutal struggle between power and interests.

Zhang Gui would not allow any dignitary to dare to yell at him based on his status, not even the elders of the royal family.

After all, in his current position, Zhang Gui knew that any forbearance he made would be regarded as a sign of weakness, and he would be tempted to take the opportunity to bite himself by the power of greedy bureaucrats.

Because in the face of interests, it is difficult to guarantee that everyone can be rational enough.

Since Zhang Gui chose to return to Beijing, he decided that he would not be merciful, and would continue to use tough methods to continue to fight for various interests with the powerful and bureaucrats.

Like Zhang Gui, other people in the palace watched Zhu Changrun struggling in the water in silence.

Zhu Changrun was terrified at this time.

He never dreamed that he would suddenly fall into the water.

He originally thought that Zhang Gui wanted to recover the loss of dignity by opening his mouth like a lion.

In the end, he didn't expect that Uncle Zhang Guo didn't want to exchange benefits for dignity.

Zhang Gui did not have the consciousness of choosing to be a slave in order to get more benefits.

This is the impact of his previous education and living environment on him.

"what happened?"

After Zhu Changrun had no strength left to struggle, Zhang Gui hurried over and shouted, "What's going on?"

Liu Zongmin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Go back to Your Highness, His Highness King Hui, he fell into the water!"

boom!
"Bastard!"

Zhang Gui yelled and kicked Liu Zongmin into the pool: "Don't go and save him!"

Not long after, Zhu Changrun was rescued.

But at this time, Zhu Changrun was no longer angry.

"Let me tell the court that King Hui accidentally fell into the water while admiring the rockery in the Han Mansion, and his servants failed to rescue him in time. I would like to plead guilty!"

After Zhang Gui gave instructions to his followers, he really took off his Yishan crown, and then went to the backyard.

And once this matter spread, there was naturally an uproar in the court.

It's just that the reason for the uproar in the whole court was not because King Hui accidentally fell into the water and was wronged by King Hui, but because he was panicked that Zhang Gui might be convicted because of this.

After all, Uncle Zhang Guo had just conducted a stock offering for a steam railway operator company during this period, and many rich and powerful bureaucrats had participated in the shares, waiting for Uncle Zhang to take them to continue to make a fortune.

As a result, this kind of thing happened now.

But no one wanted Zhang Gui to leave at this time.

So, very soon, Dongchang first reported after the on-site investigation that King Hui had indeed fallen into the water by accident, and Dongping Wang Zhanggui should not be punished.

Then, the censors also played the same way.

Therefore, Wen Tiren drafted an order for the emperor to appease Zhang Gui, saying that this matter had nothing to do with Zhang Gui, but that he wanted Zhang Gui to continue to perform his duties, and the requested dismissal was not allowed.

Although this matter ended here, it also had a great deterrent effect on the dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty.

Rui Wang Zhu Changhao came to Dongping Palace after knowing this, and after seeing Zhang Gui, he knelt down: "I am here to plead for my mother and concubine! I also ask Uncle Guo to hold your hands high and forgive my concubine for her mad rebellion." crime!"

Zhang Gui smiled and said: "Guzheng was thinking about talking about this matter with the emperor, but I didn't expect the emperor to come and talk about it himself."

Zhu Changhao said with a weeping face: "Now I only ask Uncle Guo for mercy!"

Zhang Gui rubbed his hands together, and said, "Let's not mention this for now, Uncle Huang, do you know what Gu hates the most?"

"Lonely born stupid, I really don't know, please explain clearly."

Zhu Changhao replied.

"That's hiding from each other!"

Zhang Gui immediately told Zhu Changhao the answer, and continued: "Uncle Huang, you are now very happy that you can not hide the crime of Lingtang. I think the concubine is just a surviving person, and she should keep the festival. What qualifications do you have to come to the princess?" Is the government going to teach the concubine a lesson? Is she treating herself as a queen, or a queen mother? Or is she intending to be a queen mother?"

Zhu Changhao hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The lonely mother and concubine never have such a heart, absolutely no such heart!"

"Whether you have such a heart or not, it depends on the uncle himself to be frank."

Zhang Gui said.

Zhu Changhao hesitated for a moment: "..."

"Why, is it true that Uncle Huang is not willing to plead this matter for Lingtang, or does he not want the world to know your concubine's arrogance?"

Zhang Gui asked.

"No! It's just that you will get a reputation for being unfilial."

Zhu Changhao replied.

Zhang Guidao: "It's fine if not, then please ask Uncle Huang to report this matter to the court."

"What's the matter! You're slapping yourself for Lingtang now, to pay for Lingtang's arrogance. Isn't that a proof of your filial piety?"

As Zhang Gui spoke, he asked Zhu Changhao with a smile.

"This……"

Zhu Changhao hesitated.

"Fight!"

Zhang Gui shouted sharply, and said: "Since you know you are afraid of being alone, you should act like you are afraid!"

Therefore, Zhu Changhao had no choice but to stretch out his hand, and really slapped himself in the face.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Zhang Gui looked at Zhu Changhao, who is the descendant of the Zhu family, beating himself, and just smiled lightly, feeling quite good in his heart, thinking that if some concubines of the Zhu family didn't look down on his Zhang family, then he had no choice but to ignore this Some members of the Zhu family looked at it.

These days, not everyone is servile, if they really want to see Zhu, they will kneel down.

However, Zhang Gui did this not just to vent his anger, he also had other intentions, he just wanted to make the world's rich and bureaucrats completely lose patience with him, and then let him go in advance.

Because Zhang Gui really felt that it was meaningless to make money for these people.
