Chapter 68 General Tao's Arrow Shoots Sirius (1)

Zhang Hongren went back from Duke Cheng's mansion and met his father directly, and reposted the prince's promise without missing a word. Although he was deeply favored by his elders, he did not have much authority. No mature organization could last for a long time for personality cult and a one-man show. In the later stage, it would inevitably be a bullish balance. Only in this way can the organization avoid collapse.

In this regard, there is no difference between the Zhengyi Sect and the Ming Empire.

As the leader of the sect, Zhang Yingjing naturally could not make a decision based on his son's words. The Tianshi Mansion also had the eight generals of the Tianshi, as well as the abbots and officials of important palaces in various places. The attitudes and cognition of these people will also play a great role. Otherwise, if it is just a Longhu Mountain, the jurisdiction of only a hundred miles, how can the Tianshi maintain his prestige?

Zhu Cilang is a person who has experienced later corporate politics and does not expect to establish a sect that he controls overnight. He brought Zhang Hongren by his side, and even if he discussed the issue, he would not avoid it. Zhang Hongren was very sensible and kept silent, making people confused.

Thinking about the mysterious monk Yao Guangxiao when Chengzu was the King of Yan, he was surrounded by his wife. Now, the prince is surrounded by a Taoist priest, which makes people have many associations. Because the prince himself is a person who cannot be measured by ordinary people, even Liu Ruoyu doesn't know what kind of skills this young master has that are different from ordinary people.

"It's just a young man," Xu Dun said in a word. "Do you want to listen to the adults?"

Since Zhang Hongren became sensible, he has ever suffered such humiliation. He immediately blushed. The south wind prevailed in the late Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Hongren took care of his face and tender skin. Xiaochangsui originally had the intention of being a male lover, so how could he not be angry!

Zhu Cilang did not explain, and saw that Zhang Hongren could suppress his anger, he felt a little relieved. He didn't want to find a leader who could not even control his emotions, as he would be destined to be successful but not defeated.

"This is the young master Zhang Hongren," Zhu Cixuan did not appreciate the arrogant person, "there is no need to avoid it."

Xu Dun nodded, as if dating his peers, and said, "The student specially brought the sincerity of Duke Dingguo today." After that, Xu Dun took out a vermilion-covered book and a gift list from his sleeve.

Zhu Cilang first opened the book, and it turned out that it was Xu Yunzhen, Duke Dingguo and Duke Zhang Shize of the United Kingdom, who asked him to take over the three camps of the capital. He knew Xu Yunzhen, but as for Zhang Shize's name appearing on the book, Zhu Cilang was a little surprised.

The British Duke originated from Zhang Yu, a famous general of Jingnan. In the sixth year of Yongle, Zhang Yu's eldest son Zhang Fu was named Duke of England. At that time, Zhang Fu's sister was the imperial concubine and was brave and good at fighting. Therefore, the British Duke of England became the top noble relative of the Emperor and Ming Dynasty. Even when Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian were at their peak, they did not dare to do anything to the British Duke's clan when they were at their peak.

"Xu Yunzhen brought Zhang Shize, one was to surrender to His Highness, and the other was to tell His Highness that the nobles of the aristocratic clans were not fish on the chopping board." Xu Dun said lightly.

Zhu Cixuan didn't know Xu Dun's position, but he felt a little harsh when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "I want to ask, who dares to regard the country's dry city as fish?"

"Your Highness," Xu Dun bowed slightly, "It is not the other person's business whether there is a plague in Duke Cheng's mansion. However, the thunderous thunder of your highness came to rescue the disaster, which made the family of the world panic."

"Who is not afraid when encountering the plague?" Zhu Cixuan said: "In order to save the Duke of Cheng, many guards of the East Palace have been infected with the plague, and the lonely family is also heartbroken."

"If the Shi family sealed the door and waited for His Majesty to send someone to investigate, will Your Highness really want to attack forcibly?" Xu Dun asked afterwards.

"Hmph," Zhu Cilang snorted coldly, "Since they have such awareness and do not infect outsiders, they save the trouble of being orphans."

"How can Your Highness collect his generational savings?" Xu Dun said with a smile.

Zhu Cilang's face looked as iron as iron, and suddenly smiled: "You dare to say such words of slandering the Eastern Palace, aren't you afraid of implicating your master?"

"I just ate a few meals from Xu Yunzhen, and that's because I came from the same lineage and my kindness belongs to my ancestors. How can I recognize mediocre people as the main one?" Xu Dun said disapprovingly.

Zhu Cilang's face, which was already angry, suddenly had a warm smile on his face, and he said to Zhang Hongren slowly: "You go out first."

Zhang Hongren had already heard of cold sweats, and did not understand why, so he said goodbye as if he had escaped.

Zhu Cixuan then said to Xu Dun: "It depends on your self-reliance, what kind of talents are you?"

"The students are not as talented as Sima Xiangru, not as eloquent as Zhuge Kongming, not as talented as planning and praise painting as Zhu Sheng and Liu Ji, not as talented as brave as Chang Yuchun and Tang He. Although they are covered with the blood of His Highness, the battle formation is not as talented as talented as middle and lower." Xu Dun said loudly.

This self-deprecating words were spoken in Kunshan dialect, which was like Kunqu opera at that time. Zhu Cixuan listened to his mother's queen's Suzhou dialect since childhood, but there were not many language barriers to Xu Dun. Instead, the self-deprecating and self-deprecating inside and outside the words completely reversed Xu Dun's image of being arrogant and arrogant, which caused a huge contrast.

"I saw you so arrogant before, as if you were awesome, but I didn't expect you to be self-aware." Zhu Cilang couldn't help but smile and said, "Then why do you dare to recommend yourself?"

"The wind is born in the earth and starts at the end of Qingping." Xu Dun said: "The talent of a student is to observe the wind."

"What did you see?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

"Anyone who has a heart for a hundred miles must ask questions from the left and right; anyone who has a heart for a thousand miles must ask questions from the people." Xu Dun bowed and said, "Only those who have a heart for the world and establish a heart for the ages can they know that the people's hearts are in their own heavenly hearts, and the people listen to themselves and heavenly listen. They set up drums to seek the voice of the people, and they also spread their ears, eyes, minions and teeth to prick the people's feelings. It is true that Emperor Taizu Gao did."

Zhu Cilang remained silent. These words were already very clear. Xu Dun was a person who thought he could analyze information. Zhu Cilang really dared not blindly believe someone who asked for such a heavy position when he met for the first time.

"Students have found that many people in the market are spying on the people's sentiments. They are neither the Five City Military Offices nor the East Factory Jinyiwei. It seems that the Ministry of War is doing this." Xu Dun said: "Students remember that there was a report earlier. It was His Highness who recommended Song Hongye, the former Military Officer, as the head of the Military Office... Do students still need to explain it in detail?"

Zhu Cilang was slightly moved. He never believed in geniuses who knew the world by sitting in the house, but he believed that there must be many talents in the world who could find the truth from clues. If there were no such talents, they would have to use a lot of information to pile up one, otherwise he would be deaf and blind, just like in the palace.

Although the news in the palace is now transmitted by Liu Ruoyu and Tian Cunshan, the trends in the city and the officialdom are Song Hongye Communications, and a group of ten people has been established within himself... but there is indeed a lack of talent who dominates the overall situation and refines intelligence.
