Chapter VII Retreat to Advance

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Wenda, paused and said, "Sir, I am so modest. The so-called "superiority" means writing. I really can't find this king who can compare with the great masters in the court. Moreover, if you want to retire, you have more free time."

Zhang Wenda could not guess the purpose of Zhu Xu and the people behind him. He made up his mind to respond to changes in the same way as he always said, "Your Highness has praised you, and the intention of leaving the emperor has been decided. I hope your Highness will fulfill it."

Zhu Xu's mouth raised slightly, and he looked like a harmless child.

Cao Wenzhao, who was standing aside, suddenly became serious. He knew that Zhu Xu's expression was about to use his ultimate move.

"Sir, I still lack a chief minister in Prince Hui's Mansion. I wonder if I am willing to surrender?" Zhu Xu smiled and said slowly.

Zhang Wenda couldn't tell that Zhu Xu had seen the dagger, but he had never seen any storms. How could he be threatened by a child? He sneered slightly in his heart.

But before he could speak, Zhu Xu continued, "If you need the orders and edicts of Your Majesty, you can do it. I can get it when I go back."

Zhang Wenda's eyes narrowed immediately, as if a cold light flashed by.

He had already written a letter to retire. According to convention, he would stage a drama of "three withdrawals and three rejections" that the emperor wanted to keep him. According to the convention, he would write another letter, and the emperor would refuse again. He would write another letter. However, if at this time, the emperor directly ordered him to stay in Beijing as the enlightenment teacher of King Hui and serve as the chief of the Prince Hui's palace, then he would have no excuse to shirk it.

However, Zhang Wenda had already made up his mind and was unmoved at all. He looked at Zhu Xu and pondered: "Your Highness, can you allow the officials to think for a while?"

Seeing that Zhang Wenda finally let go, Zhu Xu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he beat the snake's tail with a smile and said, "Sir, even though I think about it, I am just in the right place and want to ask for advice with you..."

Before Zhu Xu finished speaking, Zhang Wenda stood up and said, "Your Highness, the official has to go to work. If you have any questions, you might as well chat about it another day."

Regarding Zhang Wenda's naked drive, Zhu Xu had no temper and had to stand up and leave obediently. Zhang Shangshu just sent him outside the lobby and didn't leave any more.

"Master, what is His Highness Hui's intention?" A man who looked like a housekeeper walked out from behind him, stood respectfully behind him, and asked in confusion.

Zhang Wenda narrowed his eyes slightly, and the ring on his thumb turned around and said thoughtfully: "I thought it was the emperor at first, but later I found out that it was not. I thought it was Wei Yan, nor was it, and even more so, the Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, and Su Party."

The housekeeper also frowned and said with a sad expression, "Master, Wei Yi is becoming more and more arrogant now, and the court is worrying."

Zhang Wenda also sighed and said, "How could I not know? It's just that the Donglin Party members are unrestrained and act recklessly, and no one can restrain themselves. The emperor is determined to use Wei Yin to balance it. If I don't resign, I will not be able to quit in the future."

The housekeeper nodded clearly. As for His Highness Hui, who had just left, it was not in the eyes of both of them.

Zhu Xu walked out of the door and was in a good mood. He waved his hand to the carriage in the distance and said, "Da Cao, let's go."

"Yes." Cao Wenzhao followed Zhu Xu, alert around him, and whispered: "Your Highness, Lord Zhang doesn't seem to care much about your words?"

Zhu Xu shook his head and smiled, saying, "Of course, Lord Zhang is also a veteran of the three dynasties. If he is scared by a young boy like me, it would be ridiculous."

Cao Wenzhao was stunned and said, "Don't your highness want to win over Lord Zhang into our palace?"

Zhu Xu said: "My royal palace will have to wait at least ten years. Who would have waited for that long is nothing more than an excuse to keep him."

Cao Wenzhao was confused and said, "Then your highness, why do you have to leave him in the capital?"

Zhu Xu looked at the crowds coming and going on the street and did not answer Cao Wenzhao's words. He thought to himself, "Stop Wei Zhongxian from gaining power, not only to control him to control the violent institutions, but also to him in the court. These upright ministers resigned themselves, and the vacant positions would inevitably fall into the hands of Wei Zhongxian. If these people were kept as much as possible, it would be a powerful force that would hinder Wei Zhongxian."

"Dangdangdang..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums in the middle of the crowd in front of us, and then a baritone voice came out: "Today, our father and daughter came to the capital city and first came to the precious land. You are all landlords. You can't buy noodles or rice in your pocket, but it can make our father and daughter fill our stomachs. Old and young men from the south and north, look through your pockets and see if we are worth your happiness!"

"Do you have acrobatics? Let's go and have a look!" Zhu Xu was intrigued. He had never seen how the acrobatics were played at this time.

After all, Zhu Xu was small and squeezed into the front in just a few seconds.

I saw a white lime circle, a middle-aged man shouting loudly while beating the gong. There were two girls of sixteen or seventeen years old standing in the middle. They looked pretty and looked like two sisters. They were all wearing tight martial arts robes, each holding a long sword in their hands, standing straight, quite heroic.

"Everyone, your eyes are wide open and you feel dangerously retreating. The performance begins now!"

The middle-aged man shouted loudly, and the gong sounded, and the two sisters yelled at the same time, and one person jumped up and landed on the shoulders of his sister, or his sister. Then the two actually played swords at the same time. The directions of the two were completely opposite. The ones below raised their left leg and the right leg was raised above. The moves from front, back, left and right were smooth, and the dancing was full of wind. In addition, the two girls were beautiful and charming, which looked very beautiful.

"Okay!" Zhu Xu also applauded. This was difficult and was a technical job. It was a reward. He threw a piece of silver from a waiter.

When the middle-aged man saw this, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Thank you, brother."

Everyone around them also praised it. It was not easy. Most people couldn't perform, so they threw rewards from them.

Then several more performances were performed, all relying on the tacit cooperation of the two sisters. It was not exciting, but it also made the people of Beijing, who lacked entertainment projects, really happy.

Zhu Xu looked at it, and suddenly felt aroused his heart and said to Cao Wenzhao beside him: "Go and find out the bottom of these three people."

Cao Wenzhao hurriedly said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while and then continued to wander around.

"Go aside, let the Jinyiwei handle the case!"

A team of Jinyiwei hurriedly ran over from the street, with the leading embroidered spring sword, fish and dragon suit, majestic and full of momentum.

On both sides of the road, birds and beasts suddenly scattered, and Zhu Xu also let him go to the side, touching his chin and muttered to himself: "Are the Jinyiwei so awesome?"

Zhu Xu once asked Cao Wenzhao to do his homework and knew everyone around Wei Zhongxian. He whispered to Zhu Xu at first glance: "Your Highness, it is Yang Huan, the criminal officer of the East Superintendent, and Tian Ergeng's dog legs."
