Chapter 449 The feudal 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 agreed to you today and passed on a message for you, the great Ming emperor uncle, then tomorrow, if someone else came to beg, and it was the emperor's uncle or aunt, wouldn't Gu have to pass on a 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 in vain."
As he said that, Zhu Changrun stretched out his five senses: "After the matter is accomplished, how about thanking you with fifty thousand 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 also ask the emperor 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?"
"OK!"
Zhu Changrun agreed without hesitation.
In Zhu Changrun's view, as long as Zhang Gui is willing to accept the benefits and fight for the benefits for the rich and powerful, 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, he was really attracted by a Taihu stone in front of him, and he stood directly 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 waves 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 why Zhu Changrun ended up like this today is because of his character.
Of course, it is also related to the brutal struggle of power and interests.
Zhang Gui will 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 knows that any forbearance of his will be regarded as a sign of weakness, and he will be tempted by the power of greedy bureaucrats to take advantage of the opportunity to bite him.
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 not to be merciless, but to continue to use tough means to continue to fight various interests with the powerful and bureaucrats.
Like Zhang Gui, the rest of the palace also watched Zhu Changrun struggling in the water in silence.
Zhu Changrun was already panicking.
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.
As a result, he didn't expect that Uncle Zhang Guo didn't want to exchange his dignity for benefits.
Zhang Gui does 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 was completely exhausted from struggling, 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.
Zhang Gui gave instructions to his attendants, and then he really took off his Yishan crown, and then went to the backyard.
Once this matter spread, there was naturally an uproar in the court.
It's just that the reason for the uproar in the court was not because King Hui accidentally fell into the water and complained about King Hui, but because he was panicked that Zhang Gui might be punished for this.
After all, Uncle Zhang Guo had just conducted a stock raising activity for a steam railway operator company during this period, and many powerful and bureaucrats 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 followed suit.
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 incident 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 crying face: "Now I only ask Uncle Guo for mercy!"
Zhang Gui rubbed his hands together, and said, "Let's not mention this, Uncle Emperor, do you know what Gu hates the most?"
"I'm stupid because I was born alone, I really don't know, please tell me clearly."
Zhu Changhao replied.
"That's hiding from relatives!"
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 while: "..."
"Why, is it true that Uncle Huang is unwilling 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 this will give you a reputation for being unfilial."
Zhu Changhao replied.
Zhang Guidao: "It's fine if not, then please ask the emperor to report this matter to the court."
"What's the matter! You are now slapping yourself for Lingtang to pay for the crime of Lingtang's arrogance, isn't it self-proving filial piety?"
As Zhang Gui spoke, he asked Zhu Changhao with a smile.
"this…"
Zhu Changhao hesitated.
"Hit it!"
Zhang Gui shouted sharply, and said: "Since you know you are afraid of being alone, you should act like you are afraid!"
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 will be slavish, and if they really want to see Zhu, they will kneel down.
However, Zhang Gui didn’t just do this to vent his anger. He also had other intentions. He just wanted the world’s powerful and bureaucrats to lose patience with him, and then let him go early.
Because Zhang Gui really felt that it was boring to make money for these people.
