There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome between husband and wife.

For Empress Zhang, even if her husband said he wanted to investigate thoroughly, she only thought that the civil officials were fanning the flames.

"Your Majesty, the pressure on Yangling is too great in the northwest. All the generals and officials in the northwest are one with the Chinese ministers of the court. Who will obey his orders? Now he has reported the merits and doubts about him. I really don't know how he can lead the troops to fight with peace of mind."

Queen Zhang still has to try her best to fight for her younger brother.

Zhu Youzhi said: "Queen, don't worry, I will order the governor, general officer, and the governor of Xuanda again to cooperate with them. Whoever dares not obey his orders will be an enemy of the court."

That being said, Zhu Youzhe thought about it himself. Is it meaningful to issue such a decree?

Are there still many things that are lip service?

"I am the only brother who can get on the table. Your Majesty wants to make the decision for him..."

Her sad look made Zhu Youzhang smile bitterly.

It seems that even Queen Zhang knew that the level difference between the two younger brothers was not a small part. In order to protect Zhang Yanling, she could even sacrifice Zhang Heling.

Who made the boss of the Zhang family really have no ability at all?

...

...

afternoon.

In the palace, Zhu Youzhang met Princess Renhe who was about to leave the capital.

Zhu Xiaoying entered the palace just to say goodbye to her brother, but obviously, in order to achieve some ulterior motives, she took the opportunity to slander the Zhang brothers.

"...The emperor brother, since ancient times, there will always be accidents in dynasties that rely on foreign relatives. I don't know much about history, but I believe the emperor brother knows better..."

Before he could say goodbye, he started talking about the relatives.

Zhu Youzhang frowned and said, "Renhe, what do you want to say?"

Princess Renhe said: "Outsiders always say that the second son of the Zhang family is very capable, how much he has done for the court, and how trusted the emperor's brother. But in my opinion, this person is as unruly as before. A person who does not abides by the rules cannot even be a good person. How can I expect him to do things for the imperial court? Even if he can rely on some tricks and be trusted by the emperor's brother, something will definitely happen in the long run."

Zhu Youzing waved his hand impatiently and said, "If you didn't come to say anything to me, you can leave and leave the capital, and I won't stop you."

When the emperor was already very troubled by Zhang Yanling's affairs, you, the emperor girl, did not participate in the government affairs, and she still had the face to talk to me?

"Brother... He is now against the civil servants. Should you rely on the cabinet ministers in the court, or on an ignorant foreign relative..."

"Enough! You don't understand what I said, right?"

Zhu Youzhang was also angry.

Why do you say that you still don’t listen? If you think it’s my sister, you can talk nonsense?

It’s just a half-sister. How much affection do I have with you? Do you have a relationship with the Queen’s family?

Why don't you count at all?

Zhu Xiaoying snorted softly, still feeling dissatisfied, and then gave up after saluting.

...

...

Zhu Xiaoying was about to leave the capital the next morning.

Before leaving, they had to go to Princess Yongkang Zhu Xiaoru to criticize her. The two sisters seemed to have found a common language and scolded the Zhang brothers. The two sisters said one by one and one by one, and they would be different for an hour.

"Yongkang, are you saying that you had any business disputes with that kid before? How much money did he cheat you? I'll tell you for your sake, this kid dares to plot against our royal family? Who gave him a face?"

"Prince, maybe... it's not what you said..."

Zhu Xiaoru was angry that Zhang Yanling refused to avoid his bet, but the problem was that this thing didn't seem to be something that Zhang Yanling forced her to do.

She insisted on betting with Zhang Yanling, who would blame her if she lost?

Originally, Zhang Yanling’s cultivation of your son-in-law was very considerate. It seemed that you, Zhu Xiaoru, had to make a profit from Zhang Yanling, and would not lose a lot of rice if you steal chickens?

Zhu Xiaoying frowned and said, "I haven't been in the capital for the past few years, I don't know what happened in the capital. I used to hear the bad reputation of those two brothers. Why are you even involved with him now? He has gone to the court to do things in a noble way? It's really...ah!"

Zhu Xiaoying was almost speechless.

"Sister, what I am most worried about now is Deqing. You know that she... is a little stubborn..."

"It's even more excessive when it comes to Deqing. He also said he wanted to be a Taoist nun, and he also said he wanted to marry the second son of the Zhang family. Didn't she always be the most informed and respectful?"

"Why would you advise her if you sister?"

"Forget it, I'm leaving soon. There are still many things at home. If it really doesn't work, you'll be the same as me. Go to Beizhili to find a city to live in. Why should you spend money in the capital? There are too many things at home."

Zhu Xiaoying has a lot of opinions about the Zhang brothers, but it cannot be eaten as a meal after all.

Among the three sisters, she is the best. If someone has a family and a job, how could she really sacrifice her family and a job to fight with the Zhang brothers?

"Then you, please go all the way..."

"Can you speak? Your mouth is becoming more and more like a city woman, and you need to be well-educated."

...

...

Zhu Xiaoru and Deqing sent Zhu Xiaoying away the next morning.

Send my elder sister away.

The second sister and the third sister went to Zhu Xiaoru's mansion together, sat down, and talked about Zhang Yanling again.

"I heard that he falsely reported his military achievements in the northwest. Now the court is about to push him into a ditch. He really has the courage to take any achievements on himself." Zhu Xiaoru naturally didn't believe that Zhang Yanling could achieve unsuccessful contributions in the northwest.

Deqing said curiously: "Sister, he just reported to kill hundreds of Tartars, how could he falsely report his military achievements?"

Zhu Xiaoru: “…”

"With his ability to do things for the court before, why should he rely on false claims of military achievements and make himself in a desperate situation? I think he... must have indeed achieved such a contribution."

Others have no confidence in Zhang Yanling, but Deqing has a hundred times more confidence in Zhang Yanling.

This trust made Zhu Xiaoru speechless.

Zhu Xiaoru said: "My sister, are you wrong? If I remember correctly, he didn't give you a good face in the palace, which means he doesn't want to marry you. Even if you are a fallen flower and are ruthless, why do you still have to be obsessed with it?"

Deqing said anxiously: "Sister, I am just talking about the matter, how come I am... I am stubborn? In the past, didn't you and I believe that he could do things for the court? I also thought that he was a shameless person who was ignorant and ignorant? But later I also knew that he was not only knowledgeable, but also made so many contributions to the Ming Dynasty. The Salt Administration and the Ministry of Works have checked... He also went to Shandong and risked his life to find out the matters of Li Shishi and King Ning... I just used this to infer that he would not falsely report his military achievements."

Zhu Xiaoru was speechless.

This emperor girl really knows how to "justice things", and it sounds like she is blindly following.

"Forget it, you were poisoned too deeply. When my sister couldn't persuade you, just say... You became a Taoist nun in the future. When it was late at night, I remember to think about what I said to me today... That boy named Zhang killed someone!"

Zhu Xiaoru was as her sister said, her mouth became increasingly unforgiving. She was simply a typical example of a poisonous snake shrew, but she didn't know it herself.

I won't admit it even if I know it.

"Sister, why don't I bet with you too. I dare say that in a few days, more war reports will come. At that time, you will know that he is not an incompetent person. I believe that in the future, whether it is cultural affairs or military affairs, he will have a place in the Ming Dynasty!"

"You're crazy, you're crazy! You've been led by that kid. It seems that you should be a monk and be calm. Otherwise, don't be a Taoist nun. Just be a nun. I think it's better..."

...

...

One day.

There is a lot of news coming from the frontier.

Until that afternoon, Zhu Youzhang met Ma Wensheng, Zhou Jing, Xu Pu and Liu Jian in the palace.

"...There is a report from Xuanfu here, saying that the Tatars had broken into Aries' mouth on the eastern front and had withdrawn from Aries' mouth. It was the night before yesterday, and Jianchangbo had sent people to reoccupy Aries' mouth..."

Zhu Youzhang specially called these people in to tell them the news.

You said he was falsely reporting his military achievements, but the current information shows that the Tatars on the East Road did retreat.

How do you say this?

Ma Wensheng said: "But there is no specific report on the battle on the north bank of Yanmen Water. The Ministry of War sent people to check it. They set off yesterday afternoon. It is estimated that it will take three or five days to arrive at Xuanfu. If you go west again..."

Zhu Youzhang reached out to interrupt Ma Wensheng's words.

Zhu Youzhang looked at Xu Pu and said, "Geither Xu, what do you think of this battle report?"

Xu Pu is feeling more and more stressed now.

It was almost certain that he had a false report of Zhang Yanling's military achievements yesterday.

Before two days and one night, he had already begun to shake.

The problem is that the summary of the war reports of all parties said that the situation is developing in a powerful direction in the Ming Dynasty. If Zhang Yanling did nothing, why would the Ming Dynasty suddenly turn into an offensive around Aries' mouth, or even say that it will take down Aries' mouth again?

"Your Majesty, it's not too late to make a conclusion when the specific battle situation comes."

Xu Pu was also glad that he did not go out to protect Liu Zhang.

This kind of thing is simply a meaningless quarrel in the court. If Zhang Yanling really achieved such a contribution...

For Xu Pu, the consequences are unimaginable.
