The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 665 A great shame and humiliation

As soon as Mrs. Baoguo left.

Sun Shangqi came over and said: "My lord, this woman is a little ignorant. She has done something before and is now confident. Now the British prince is still very powerful. If it weren't for her being here, she would have escaped." It won't help even to the end of the world, but even so, she always comes up with some unreasonable thoughts. I think someone should teach her a lesson. "

Zhang Zhou said: "He just wants to reunite with his husband and family. It's not too much. If I don't give her any benefits, she won't be able to work for me with peace of mind."

"Yes." Sun Shangqi saluted.

Just when Sun Shangqi thought Zhang Zhou had completely let go of Mrs. Baoguo.

Zhang Zhou added: "As for the lesson, you don't need to discuss it with me. Remember, no matter what you do, don't go too far, especially don't hurt his body. The rest, you can weigh it yourself. By the way, go there Let’s make some arrangements. I want to meet Zhu Hui tonight, who was once a capable minister in His Majesty’s eyes, and I also want to arrange for him to do something.”

"My lord, this man is like a lost dog. There is really no need to give him any help. Besides, there are many capable people in the government and the public. Whether it is your majesty or you, there is really no need to use such a foolish and incompetent person."

Sun Shangqi obviously didn't agree with Zhang Zhou's meeting with Zhu Hui.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "Do you think I want to value him? It's just to do something he can do to prepare for his redemption. Sometimes, people are down and out, but they have their value. This new city also relies on many people to come out to do things. , one more is more strength.”

……

Guo Ang thought for a while and sighed: "Actually, Eunuch Li of the Dongchang asked me to give some gifts to Mr. Zhang. There are also some things that are not convenient to mention in front of outsiders. It is related to the future of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei. For big things, it’s best to be able to…”

You need to hurry up and take Zhu Hui out. Zhu Hui himself is doing odd jobs in a shipyard near the sea. No one around him knows that he was once Baoguo Gong's father. He doesn't want others to know. Others just think of him as an ignorant person. An old man with a bit of a temper, but no one knew he had a prominent background.

Immediately, a Jin Yiwei threw a piece of clothing to Zhu Hui.

Sun Shangqi said: "My father-in-law may have something to do tonight. If Guo Zhenfu has something to do, I can convey it to you."

"What are you mumbling about? Work, work! If you can't finish this class, you will have to move to the next class. Not to mention the deduction of wages, how will you be assessed at the end of the month? You've worked!"

But Sun Shangqi was obviously very indifferent to him.

Although Sun Shangqi was completely on Zhang Zhou's side, he could not offend his superiors. Li Zhang was still in charge of Dongchang in name. If even the eunuch who was the admiral of Dongchang could ignore him, then even Zhang Zhoubao himself would not be able to do so. It won't end well.

"Otherwise, how about I pass the news on to you after the master has finished the next thing?" Sun Shangqi said.

"This……"

Sun Shangqi was also flattered, and the two of them were only at the same level, so they quickly returned the favor.

……

The people who were with Zhu Hui naturally complained about the lack of someone here, but no one paid attention to their complaints.

Let Zhu Hui's hot face touch his cold butt.

……

"Master Zhang...is he up there?" Guo Ang asked, "Don't misunderstand me, I just have something to do and I want to ask Master Zhang for instructions."

A group of people went to work again.

A famous flag next to him reminded: "It's not Sun Qianhu, but Sun Qianshi."

"Give him some clothes." Sun Shangqi said.

When Sun Shangqi went down to arrange things, not far from the hotel, he saw Guo Ang coming with several royal guards.

What he is concerned about now, or what he is thinking about in his heart, is whether he can keep the clothes he is wearing as his own.

Qie Sun Shangqi ignored him at all and didn't tell him where he was going, but he didn't seem to care about this anymore, and he didn't seem to be stronger than he was now wherever he went.

Sun Shangqi was also in a dilemma.

Sun Shangqi was very busy this night.

"My lord, he..."

"Sun Qian's matter." If this had been changed before, Sun Shangqi would have come all the way to greet him and salute him, but now it was the other way around, with Guo Ang saluting Sun Shangqi.

Zhang Zhou turned around and glanced at Sun Shangqi with a smile.

Maybe you have to survive this winter, or you can have a piece of clothing that you can own in the future. It all depends on whether Sun Shangqi gives you face today and takes this piece of clothing back.

"Really? Congratulations on your promotion." Zhu Hui smiled and said, "You have been promoted all the way. You are really following a noble person, which is enviable. Your future is unlimited, and it will be a matter of time for you to supervise Jin Yiwei."

But now he is at the bottom of society, relying on other people's looks to make a living. It's not easy to meet someone he knows and powerful. If he doesn't try to please him now, then he really has no chance.

In the past, Zhu Hui did not bother to compliment others like this.

Until Jin Yiwei took the person away, there were still people around him talking privately.

"Well done then."

"My father-in-law has a guest to meet. We can't discuss it in detail until the meeting is over." Sun Shangqi said, "It's best for you to wait for a while. I will arrange it as soon as possible."

……

……

……

When Zhu Hui arrived in front of Zhang Zhou, he did not expect that it was Zhang Zhou he wanted to see.

Zhu Hui took a look and saw that the material was good, much better than what he usually used. He was a little touched and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Sun Qianhu."

Zhu Hui followed Sun Shangqi, clasped his hands, and asked nervously: "Sun Qianhu, is there anything important? If you go out for a long time, it is best to ask me to change it." A piece of clothing. Not to mention it’s dirty right now, but it’s still a little thin, so it might be…”

But when the door opened and he saw the person sitting by the window inside, Zhu Hui was so scared that his legs were shaking, but he was also excited. Before Sun Shangqi could say anything, he knelt on the ground with a pop and kowtowed to Zhang Zhou. Said: "Finally, I can see my living parents."

That was probably telling Sun Shangqi that the person in front of him seemed not as good as his wife who came before. At least that lady seemed more neither humble nor overbearing.

"Mrs. You has been here before." Zhang Zhou said, "She said she wanted to reunite with your family. I said everything must be done according to the rules. I will arrange for you to meet tomorrow and once a month from now on. What do you think?"

Zhang Zhou spoke to Zhu Hui in a very polite tone, but did not let Zhu Hui stand up.

This old boy almost ruined Zhang Zhou's military plan. A guy who gained fame and fortune solely through good luck was a complete worm in the Ming Dynasty. In Zhang Zhou's view, this kind of person might not be as good as a real villain. The Zhang brothers.

At least those two guys, they know how to bark at you, and they know who to follow at the critical moment.

Zhu Hui said: "My lord, you are serious. I have the opportunity to meet my wife. I am really grateful for the emperor's great kindness, heaven's blessing...and your endless care. I am so grateful that I can only make a grass ring in my next life to repay you." The kindness of this life.”

Zhang Zhou smiled.

These words sounded sincere, but their meaning was very false. As soon as you heard it, you could tell that they were flattering for the sake of flattery and had no intentions at all.

However, considering that the Ming Dynasty’s ministers are all such a bunch of people, it seems not surprising. Even the top minister Zhang Mao, doesn’t he also have such a role? It seems that the Ming Dynasty never intended to develop these honorable ministers into a responsible and courageous direction, just to make them submit to power and let them be good watchdogs. The result is that this group of people is worse than the previous generation.

It is not surprising that when encountering war, one retreats and acts wisely to protect himself.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "As long as you can understand. You have just arrived here and have not done anything well. With your previous sins, it is enough to save your life. I will give you half a day every month to meet your wife and children... But many of your family members are not here, they are living in various places..."

Zhu Hui became excited at this time.

This was also the first time he heard news about his family after arriving at the port. He had never had the chance to inquire before.

The once wealthy family was now scattered, and he had been alone for so long that he almost forgot that he had a family.

"Except for your wife, the rest of your wives and concubines... I don't know their whereabouts." Zhang Zhou said, "As for your children, except for some who have been sent here, some are still in the husband's family, and the rest I might have to wait and find out later.”

Zhu Hui said with a sad look on his face: "The villain committed a crime against his family. It is really... an unpardonable crime."

Zhang Zhou said: "In fact, it is enough for you to bear your sins alone, but now the court's laws are like this, and you can't blame others. After meeting your wife tomorrow, do your best and strive to be redeemed as soon as possible. The remaining It's up to you..."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

……

……

Zhu Hui met Zhang Zhou once, but he didn't know why Zhang Zhou wanted to see him.

I thought my case would turn around, otherwise why would Zhang Zhou be granted a meeting? But after seeing it, he was a little confused.

Sun Shangqi said: "Mr. Zhu, I will ask someone to take you back. If you still need anything, you can tell me."

Zhu Hui held on to the dress tightly. He wanted to return it, but he couldn't bear it.

"You keep the clothes." Sun Shangqi said, "Your family members will also give you some things. Since you can see each other in the future, they will probably give you some money every month. Their life here is a happy one. It will be better than you."

"Are they... all okay?" Zhu Hui looked very sorry.

It seemed that he had actually expected a lot of things.

As a man, it's enough to do hard work, but at the worst, your body and bones will suffer a little.

But as a woman, you can't atone for your sins by just doing things, and you may even suffer a lot of physical and mental trauma. This is why he doesn't dare to ask about his family, especially the whereabouts of the female family members. There are some things he has to ask. Just to add trouble to myself, simply pretend not to know.

Sun Shangqi didn't say anything, he just waved his hand to Xiao Qi on the side, and then Xiao Qi pointed to the carriage path not far away: "When you go back, take a ride. This is the treatment I will give you."

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Zhu Hui suddenly felt that he was somewhat human.

At least Zhang Zhoudu still remembered him, and after caring about him, he even let him ride back.

And he just got in the car.

Sun Shangqi had already left over there. He quickly came down and wanted to see him off, but was stopped by Xiao Qi.

"What do you want to do?" Xiaoqi asked.

"I...I went over to express my gratitude." Zhu Hui said.

"They are all following orders, who are you thanking?" Xiao Qi said impatiently, "Hurry up and get in the car!"

Zhu Hui got on the carriage.

Now that he was in the carriage, everyone was a little moved.

But I heard the little flag outside complaining to the person next to him: "This guy doesn't know what to do with himself. People who rely on relationships with women to keep their reputation are really useless."

Zhu Hui pricked up his ears.

This should... be talking about yourself, right?
Women's relationship?

what relationship?
Could it be... Thinking that his wife had just met Zhang Zhou, she suddenly felt nervous for no reason, but then she felt relieved, as if everything was her fault.

But then he felt...this was a bit nonsense.

How old is your wife? What would happen if you meet Zhang Zhou? Will Zhang Zhou favor him because of this? Unless Zhang Zhou has some unknown preferences?

"Isn't that true? I heard that if Eunuch Li hadn't gone there in person, the lady would have been left in the British mansion." Someone was laughing next to her.

This group of soldiers made fun of people not once or twice.

Zhu Hui hurriedly opened the curtain and asked the driver: "Master, are you two talking about my family's business?"

"Who are you if not you?" Both of them laughed sarcastically.

They seemed to feel very proud of being able to ridicule the former protector of the country.

Zhu Hui asked: "What happened? Can... let me know?"

"What do you want to know? Do you want to know that your wife was almost taken over by the British Duke? I heard that everyone was taken to the British Duke's mansion. Fortunately, someone smoothed the relationship and Eunuch Li came to the door in person to get her out." Xiaoqi said.

Zhu Hui said: "My wife has entered the British Duke's palace. What does this mean? I am an old friend of the British Duke. He must be protecting my family."

"Hahaha……"

This time, not only the two people talking, but also the Jin Yiwei who was riding behind the carriage laughed at him.

"You, you, are so stupid. Since the British Duke wants to help your family, why do you only help your wife and not your descendants? And why did the entire capital know after this incident that it was the British Duke who wanted to occupy your wife? What? This incident has brought the British public into disrepute, and now he is embarrassed to return to the capital." Xiao Qi continued to laugh sarcastically.

Zhu Hui clenched his fists and said: "No, no..."

At this moment, he actually believed it in his heart. Just for his own sake, he could only say that this matter would not happen.

"But it is precisely because of this that your lady escaped from the tiger's mouth. When she came here, it was also the father-in-law who gave her face. She came to plead with him, and he agreed! You are incompetent yourself, not only causing your family to suffer, but also harming your family. If I had known about my family's reputation, why wouldn't I have fought bravely on the battlefield? Look at all those generals who have fought bravely, and none of them have achieved fame. Even the British Lord has made great contributions in the northwest."

Xiaoqi even felt that Zhu Hui was a loser.

Zhu Hui was completely ashamed at this moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "I was a colleague with Zhang Tingmian, but he betrayed me like this."

Xiaoqi said: "Why do people just let you down? If you have the ability, can you still find your place? If you have the ability, if you reinstate yourself, you will be able to overwhelm the British family! Can you do it? Haha!"

"What a disgrace."

Zhu Hui almost wanted to cry on the spot, but finally held back, but his face was ashen behind him, as if even his energy had been sucked away.
