Chapter 293: The Four Iron Men
After prostituting together, the relationship between Zhang Ru and Xu Li became more intimate, and the two hooked shoulders on the street completely regardless of their identities, and burst into laughter from time to time.
stayed overnight in Huafang, Zhang Ru did not attack Qiluo after all. He had a knot in his heart, and for the time being, it allowed him to use his carnal thoughts on other women.
Of course, there was no outlet for the fire in his belly, and after he went back, he directly poured a few buckets of cold well water to suppress the fire.
As for the lucky woman named Qingzhu, she became the woman of Wei Guogong because of Zhang Ru's reprimand, and Wei Guogong left after playing in this room, and someone naturally placed this woman in that compartment.
played in the Guogong Mansion for two more days, during which Xu Li specially released Xu Huaiyuan to have a drink with Zhang Ru in order to eliminate the contradiction between Zhang Ru and his son Xu Huaiyuan. Although Xu Huaiyuan is domineering, he is honest in front of his own son, even if he is a little insincere when he drinks with Zhang Ru, he does not lose Zhang Ru's face too much.
However, the sly light in his eyes did not escape Zhang Ru's eyes.
Anyway, at the end of the drink, it was just that his father and Zhang Ru were talking about the mountains, and Xu Huaiyuan had no chance to interject at all. Besides, under his father's stern warning, he had to call Zhang Ru an uncle as soon as he opened his mouth, so he simply left the space to two big men who were talking about the Datong battlefield.
As soon as Xu Huaiyuan left, the drunken two immediately became energetic, Xu Li squinted and said, "The dog is invisible, which makes Wen Xuan smile." If there is such a day, I hope that Wen Xuan will spare his life for the sake of his brother. ”
Zhang Ru smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, he's a smart person, he won't have that day." ”
Xu Li's face became very serious: "Wen Xuan, don't be perfunctory, brother, brother's son is very clear." There will come a time when only you will be able to speak. ”
Zhang Ru nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, brother, even if there is really such a day, for your sake, I won't embarrass him too much." ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Huaiyuan has a big pimple in his heart on the matter of opening the sea ban, even if he is strictly ordered by his father to drink with Zhang Ru, he is also lacking in interest. Xu Li was worried that it was because Xu Huaiyuan would not be able to inherit his title, and the only silver that could bring Xu Huaiyuan pleasure would also be cut off by Zhang Ru, who was afraid that his son would do something unfavorable to the ban on the sea.
Since the court has set the tone, neither he nor Xu Huaiyuan can change it. angered the one in the Jinluan Palace, and there was only one end, and that was death.
Seeing that Xu Li was still worried, Zhang Ru smiled and said: "Don't forget, brother, we are one of the four iron men of men, your business is my business, isn't your son my son!" ”
Xu Li disagreed: "What are the four major irons?" ”
Zhang Ru explained: "Those who have been through the window together, those who have carried guns together, those who have prostituted together, and those who have gone to the countryside together, these are the four major irons of men." ”
The first three were easy to understand, but the last one made Xu Li a little incomprehensible, Zhang Ru was quick to talk for a while, and said some things in the history of his previous life.
This time, there was no need for Xu Li to ask, Zhang Ru immediately laughed and explained: "When I say going to the countryside, it means that those who have suffered a lot together are purely for the sake of rhyme, rhyme!" ”
Xu Li suddenly realized: "I didn't expect Wenxuan that you are still a talent, really incisive, incisive!" I've only heard of the four joys of life, but I didn't expect that there is a man with four big irons. It seems that I have been away from the capital for too long and I don't even know these slang. ”
Zhang Ru said: "This is what the younger brother came up with by himself, and you can't hear it even if you are in the capital." My brother has heard of the four joys of life, but I'm afraid I haven't heard of the four sorrows of life! ”
Xu Li knew that he had something interesting to say, so he hurried over.
Zhang Ru cleared his throat and said: "The so-called long drought and sweet rain, great joy, if it is too little, it will not be happy; It is good to meet old acquaintances in other places, but if people are wrong, no one can be happy; Candle night in the cave room is the happiest time for men, but there are some exceptions; The title of the gold list is happy for the family, and of course, there are coincidences. ”
"What do you mean?" Xu Li didn't understand and asked.
Zhang Ru said: "A long drought is a rain, a drop; Encounter old acquaintances in other places, creditors; Candle night in the cave room, next door; When the title of the gold list is titled, the name is the same! Add two words, the artistic conception is completely different, isn't it sad! ”
Xu Li was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, while laughing, the grandfather of the country patted Zhang Ru on the shoulder: "Alas, Wenxuan, you want to laugh at me to death!" Hahahahaha I. No, no, no, my face hurts with laughter. ”
After a wild laugh, the embarrassment between each other was reduced a lot.
"You kid can stir up the wind and rain in the capital, and even Wang Zhi was so played that he ran to Nanjing to avoid trouble, and he really can't be underestimated. Brother is looking forward to it now, whether those civil officials who regard the ancestral system as their own father will be played to death by you. Xu Li stopped laughing and rubbed his cheeks.
Zhang Ru said with a bitter face: "This old brother, you can misunderstand, Wang Zhi left the capital, but he has nothing to do with me." He was a man with ideas, but he was in too much of a hurry to do things, and he offended the civilian officials, and the cabinet regarded him as a thorn in the flesh. The first emperor was also very dissatisfied with him at that time, and it was inevitable to leave the capital, but now he is not going back, and it is not a big deal. As for those who live by the ancestral system, it's really a problem. Hehe, if something happens, I'm sure my brother will be on my side. ”
Xu Li pouted and said: "When you kid came to Nanjing, you should not just be afraid that I will obstruct the opening of the sea ban, your real intention is to unite the nobles of the north and the south and deal with the civil officials together!" ”
Zhang Ru said abruptly: "I really can't hide anything from my brother, Wen Xuan really has this intention." ”
Xu Li snorted heavily: "Don't think about using my brother, those civil officials are not easy to deal with, you yourself know very well." Even Wang Zhi can't compete with him, let alone you. ”
Zhang Ru said with a smile: "Brother wants to help me, if I am really attacked by civil officials, to a certain point, even Your Majesty will not be able to protect me." With your support, it's different, Your Majesty at least won't be so difficult to do. Beiping Baoguo Gong has already agreed, now it depends on what you mean, brother. ”
Xu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhu Yong agreed?" ”
Zhang Ru nodded and said, "Baoguo Gong did agree." ”
Xu Li's brows furrowed, this signal was very useful to him, because he really couldn't figure out why Zhu Yong would agree to Zhang Ru's request.
In Nanjing, Beiping, the nobles of the two places are the most in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Hui is still the general of the 12th regiment battalion in his hand. It can be said that many of the generals in the north are soldiers under Zhu Hui, and many of the generals in the south are from his Xu Li.
Otherwise, he would not have been furious because Xu Liang's military camp was transformed into a pigsty.
"How much help you're going to get." After thinking for a while, Xu Li said slowly.
Zhang Ru said seriously: "It depends on how much help my brother can give." As long as my brother can help, I hope my brother can spare no effort to help. The Chinese officials in Beijing were powerful, and the power of the Daming monarch since he became an ancestor was not comparable to the power of the vassals. Your Majesty wants to be the king of the prosperous world, and you and I want to be the ministers of the prosperous world, and we have a long way to go. ”
Xu Li nodded and said, "What you said is right, but I have to think about it, after all, this is not a trivial matter." ”
Zhang Ru also understands that this is a major event that affects the whole body, don't look at those civil officials who dare not attack the Xungui group, but if they really provoke the civil officials to get angry, no one knows if they will attack Xungui's idea.
You must know that Zhang Ru is an upstart, and he is also a member of the nobles, and he has been attacked by courtiers in the capital for the matter of opening the sea ban.
Once the entire civilian-official group is united, even Zhang Ru, even Zhu Hui and Xu Li, will not dare to flirt easily.
After a long time, neither of them spoke, Zhang Ru picked up the teacup on the table from time to time to take a sip, and Xu Li frowned and fell into contemplation.
Unconsciously, the sun was setting, and the two were unaware of it, until Lao Li came to inform him that it was time to eat, and the two stood up and looked at each other and smiled.
From Zhang Ru's expression, it could be seen that he had a lot on his mind, and Xu Li patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "Didn't you say it, we are the four big men of the man, don't worry, if there is anything, my brother will not make you too embarrassed." Tomorrow, after Xu Liang gives his explanation, the elder brother will call the leaders of those maritime merchants over for you to meet, if there is anything that can be discussed, you can discuss with them. But don't give them a nice look, lest they be self-righteous. ”
Zhang Ru nodded and said, "Then thank you brother." ”
The two finished dinner with their hearts, this time Xu Li didn't stay, and Zhang Ru didn't rely on it, the two went into their rooms to think about their own thoughts.
The atmosphere in the Guogong Mansion became a little weird at this moment, not to mention that Lao Li was a little confused, even Fan Tong and the others felt very weird. But the two big guys above didn't speak, and they didn't want to ask, so they could only hold back their doubts in their hearts.
The happiest is naturally Xu Huaiyuan, who is bent on making things bad, he already looks at Zhang Ru unpleasantly, and his father was fooled into finding a second mother for himself, he feels that Zhang Ru is even more hateful.
I heard that Zhang Ru and his father broke up unhappily, and he couldn't wait to get hundreds of catties of fireworks and firecrackers immediately.
Zhang Ru, who tossed and turned in bed and didn't fall asleep until after the hour, got up early the next day, Xu Li didn't fall asleep, but he also got up early.
Because today is destined to be an extraordinary day.
Today is the day when Xu Liang gives an explanation, if this explanation can be satisfactory, it is the beginning of Xu Li's rectification of military discipline in the south.
At this point, the purpose of the two is the same, that is, Zhang Ru painted the cake that created the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.
