Different from Li Xing's schadenfreude, Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng were extremely worried in their hearts, if the emperor and the little marquis broke up, it would definitely be a big earthquake! Those of them around them are likely to be affected by the pond fish!

One of their hearts was raised, and looking at the somewhat silent little marquis, they sweated deeply in their hearts, this atmosphere was really tense!

Zhang Zhijie tilted his head slightly, and said with some emotion: "When the court was discussing, in fact, the ministers were very conflicted, on the one hand, they wanted to share their worries for the emperor, and on the other hand, there were happy events in the house, and they didn't want the ministers to leave Beijing!" So when the ministers all elected Wang Shouren, the ministers felt a sense of relief in their hearts, with Wang Shouren's ability, it was not difficult to quell the rebellion! ”

"So the minister seconded the proposal to elect Wang Shouren! But the emperor still wanted to let the minister lead the troops to the battle, and the minister knew that this was the emperor's favor! So, at that time, the minister was ready to change his words! But he didn't expect that the emperor would listen to Li Gelao's words, so he changed his mind and agreed to Wang Shouren leading the troops! ”

Emperor Zhengde had been listening quietly, and when he heard this, he was about to open his mouth to explain something. Zhang Zhijie shook his head slightly and continued: "Why don't the ministers understand the emperor's thoughts!" The Cardinal Sect once organized the assassination of ministers in Nanjing, and the ministers repeatedly stopped the conspiracy of the Cardinal Sect, so they must have hated the ministers to the core! Is the emperor very worried? ”

"Yes, I was very worried at the time, so I agreed to let Wang Shouren lead the troops to the battle!" Emperor Zhengde nodded.

"Chen, I was very moved at that time! It's just that now things have reversed again, and the emperor wants to drive the expedition in person! The major assassination case of that year, the Leng Xiangwan case, and the Yizi case some time ago, all of them were aimed at the emperor! ”

"The south is the base of the Cardinal Sect and King Ning! The emperor is going to levy in person, minister, how can you not worry? ”

Emperor Zhengde listened to Zhang Zhijie's words in a daze, opened his mouth and was very emotional, got up and walked in front of Zhang Zhijie, patted Zhang Zhijie's shoulder, and said movingly: "Zhijie, I can understand your feelings!" I also experienced it when I was in the court meeting! ”

It was really a turn of the peak, the tense atmosphere in the hall was swept away, and seeing the emperor's true feelings, Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng were dumbfounded, and they had to sigh, the little marquis is the little marquis! It's not like they're comparable!

Zhang Zhijie said expectantly: "Your Majesty?

Emperor Zhengde sighed a little sadly: "I sometimes think that being an emperor is too boring, and I can only stay in the palace every day. ”

"I love the art of war, and I really want to experience what it's like to lead a soldier into battle! But because I am the emperor, I can only stay in the palace with grievances! ”

"I've often told you this, I want to go to the south, I want to lead my troops into battle! But I know it's impossible, and maybe you think it's impossible, just as my nagging. I can only wander between the palace and the leopard room, and I can only yearn for it all my life, waiting for one day to die here! ”

Zhang Zhijie opened his mouth when he heard this, his face was full of sighs, but he didn't know how to persuade him! He knew that his persuasion had failed today! Emperor Zhengde's emotion is really heartfelt, because Emperor Hongzhi is like this!

Emperor Zhengde witnessed his father's life, and this is how he came! I was trapped in the palace all my life, and I was only busy with state affairs, and finally I became ill from hard work, and I died in the prime of life!

Therefore, Emperor Zhengde sighed with emotion: "Now there is such an opportunity in front of me, maybe it is my only opportunity, so that I can see my country with my own eyes!" I don't want to stay in the palace for the rest of my life, and I haven't even stepped out of the realm of Jingshi! ”

"Zhijie, can you understand? Emperor Zhengde said with emotion.

After listening to Emperor Zhengde's heartfelt words, Zhang Zhijie was silent, which really touched Zhang Zhijie! Zhang Zhijie is really powerless to refute, and he can't bear to refute!

Zhang Zhijie let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "In this case, please allow the emperor to accompany the ministers to quell the rebellion!" ”

Listening to Zhang Zhijie's words, Emperor Zhengde was relieved, grinned, patted Zhang Zhijie's shoulder vigorously and said, "I know that you can understand me!" I originally planned to let you stay in the capital, and the commander of the capital camp helped me keep an eye on the country! ”

"There is still the Queen Mother in Beijing! In fact, Li Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao are both important ministers of the society, although they are a little pedantic, but their loyalty to the emperor is beyond doubt! Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

In short, Zhang Zhijie is absolutely not worried that Emperor Zhengde will drive the expedition alone, since Emperor Zhengde is determined to drive the expedition in person, then Zhang Zhijie can only drive with him!

If Li Dongyang and the others finally found that they could not stop Emperor Zhengde's personal expedition, it is estimated that they would also ask Zhang Zhijie to accompany them, otherwise they would definitely not be at ease! Although Wang Shouren can also lead troops to fight, will the emperor listen to what he says?

The ministers didn't listen to the emperor when they knelt down at the noon gate, do you expect Wang Shouren to persuade the emperor? As for expecting Emperor Zhengde to be a famous general himself who is proficient in the art of war? Pull it down! In Li Dongyang's eyes, Emperor Zhengde is a child who has not grown up! It's still the kind of person who doesn't hit the house for three days, but it's a pity that he is the emperor, and no one dares to fight!

Emperor Zhengde nodded and said, "Well, that's true, it's just a little pedantic!" If only they weren't pedantic! I don't have to have such a headache! Zhijie, if only you were a university scholar! ”

Zhang Zhijie was taken aback when he heard this, what are you kidding, he is not even a jinshi, how can he enter the cabinet, and his age is not suitable! It's simply not possible! Even if Zhang Zhijie doesn't do it, the university scholar has a lot of power and is very beautiful, but he is tired! I'm so tired!

So Zhang Zhijie hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this is not a joke!" ”

Emperor Zhengde thought about it seriously and asked, "You say, if I give you the rank of Jinshi。。。。。。 ”

"Your Majesty, ministers are already famous for not being good at reading, which minister doesn't know! Even if the emperor bestows his ministers with the rank of Jinshi, he can't convince the public! Zhang Zhijie was very speechless and said, besides, even if the cabinet scholars are not necessarily able to restrain hundreds of officials! Like this noon kneeling at the noon gate, Li Dongyang and they are all old ministers of several dynasties, and they are highly respected, and they are roasted on the fire!

Emperor Zhengde thought about it and felt that it was too, so he had to break off this thought, and those were too far away, and what was in front of him now was the most headache!

With so many courtiers kneeling at the noon gate, although Emperor Zhengde was very angry in his heart, Emperor Zhengde did not want to use tough measures until he had no choice but to do so! Now that the expedition is imminent, it is better for the court to be more stable!
