Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 255 What His Royal Highness Wants to See

Glancing at Zhang Heling, Zhang Mao smiled and said, "What is Uncle Guo going to do?"

"I plan to initiate this matter, and I hope the Duke of the Kingdom can support me." Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Mao, and the expression on his face became serious. For big things, there is no need to go round and round. In the end, we must return to the essence of the matter.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Heling naturally would not choose to go around the corner, and just explain the matter clearly. No one is a fool, and fooling around is impossible.

Zhang Mao glanced at Zhang Heling, and he was more certain of his conjecture in his heart. Sure enough, this uncle Guo didn't want to, he was forced.Even if Zhang Heling really wanted to contribute to the country, wouldn't it be okay to spend a few 10 taels?With the financial resources of the Marquis of Shouning, I dare not say too much, 50 taels is not enough to hurt the bones.

At most, it's just a pain in the flesh. If Zhang Heling really took out 50 taels, he must be a role model for his relatives, and His Majesty will order a reward.

But Zhang Heling did a very stupid thing, that is, he advocated Zhuangtian to pay taxes. This decision and behavior were all stupid. It was like putting himself on the opposite side of all honors and relatives, making everyone hate him. Under such circumstances, how far Zhang Heling had gained or lost his mind would he make such a decision and choice.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mao knew what was going on. Zhang Mao really wanted to refuse, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

The British government is the leader of the nobles, and everyone hugs the British government. If the British government agrees to this matter, then the popularity accumulated by the British government over the years will be lost in an instant.But this is what His Highness the Crown Prince meant. Given His Royal Highness' current powerful position, if he refuses, or even opposes, it is hard to say what impact it will have.

"It's important, I need to think about it!" After pondering for a while, Zhang Mao still couldn't make a decision, so he could only prevaricate and prepare to think about it.

"If that's the case, then I won't bother you. I hope the Duke can give me an answer as soon as possible!" After saying this, Zhang Heling stood up and saluted Zhang Mao, then turned and walked out.

When Zhang Heling left, Zhang Mao's expression also relaxed, with a wry smile on his face, what is this?Can't we stop for a few days?Walking out the door, Zhang Mao ordered the housekeeper standing outside the door: "Go and find Zhang Lun for me!"

After the last incident, Zhang Mao found that his grandson was still very assertive and looked at problems from a special angle, so he was invited to discuss this incident.Of course, this also has something to do with Zhang Lun's understanding of His Highness the Crown Prince. Zhang Mao felt that his grandson might know what the Crown Prince was thinking.

Naturally, the butler didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly agreed: "Yes!" After saying this, he turned and ran away.

Zhang Lun didn't delay for too long, and soon Zhang Lun came. After entering the room, seeing his grandfather sitting there with a slumped face, he couldn't help being taken aback, it shouldn't be!Grandpa just named the staff officer of the staff office. Logically speaking, it should be a happy event. How could he be so depressed?Could it be that he caused trouble?No!I've been very good lately!

Although he confirmed in his heart that he did not make any mistakes, Zhang Lun was still worried that he would be scolded, so he said cautiously, "Grandpa, did something happen?"

Zhang Mao glanced at his grandson, waved his hands, and said kindly: "Sit down!" When Zhang Lun sat down, Zhang Mao said: "Many times it's not people looking for things, but things looking for people. You want to hide You can't even avoid it, you know the Marquis of Shouning is coming, right?" Seeing his grandson nodding, Zhang Mao repeated what Zhang Heling had said.

Glancing at his grandfather, Zhang Lun said with a smile, "So that's what happened? I thought it was a big deal, so I just agreed to it. If he wants, our British government can also initiate it!"

Glancing at his grandson, Zhang Mao wanted to get angry at the time, but hesitated because he thought that his grandson could not be so stupid: "Tell me what you think."

"Our British government is not short of that little tax money." Zhang Lun said directly: "Since His Royal Highness wants it, then just give it."

"Is this a matter of money?" Zhang Mao became angry immediately. The British government is indeed not short of money, but is it a matter of money?Glancing at his grandson, Zhang Mao continued, "Don't say it's the first initiative. Even if we directly support it, I'm afraid it will offend the nobles and relatives. What should we do with the popularity we have accumulated over the years?"

Hearing what his grandfather said, Zhang Lun suddenly laughed. Seeing his grandfather glaring at him, Zhang Lun barely stopped his smile, waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, Renwang? If our family is not the British government, where did Renwang come from? "

"In the past few years, with the support of His Highness the Crown Prince, Marquis Shouning's status has improved by leaps and bounds. Not only is he very authoritative among the nobles and relatives, but even civil servants support him. Many people have said that there may be danger of foreign relatives' monopoly, but this time What about after this time? Marquis Shouning, not to mention the exclusive power of his relatives, without the protection of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, he might be torn to pieces, right?"

"Now that the staff office is established, His Royal Highness wants to change the military system. What is this? This is great power. What do you want to be popular at this time?" Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Mao, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, we will Offending the nobles, but what if this is what His Majesty and His Royal Highness want to see? Your Majesty and the Prince don't need a British Duke with high expectations."

"As for offending those people, if the British government falls, they will fall into trouble faster than anyone else. If the British government is in power, they will only praise and praise."

Zhang Mao didn't listen to what the grandson said later, because Zhang Mao was shocked by the previous words. What if this is what His Majesty and the Crown Prince want?Daming doesn't need a British prince with high popularity, yes, that's it.Zhang Mao finally figured out what he hadn't figured out. After this matter, Shou Ning Hou was finished, and the nobles who supported him would also be separated from the people below.

But only in this way, His Majesty and His Royal Highness will use you, dare to use you, Zhang Mao suddenly realized.

At the same time, he also thought of a deeper level, that is, His Royal Highness is going to clean up the nobles. The reform of the military system cannot bypass the nobles, and there will definitely be people who oppose them. Then, before the reform of the military system begins, a group of nobles will be wiped out. Opposing and disobedient, this will also be of great benefit to the subsequent reform of the military system.

A Zhuangtian collects taxes, so many thoughts are hidden in it, and I accidentally fell into it. I glanced at my grandson, Zhang Mao felt very relieved, there are successors!

In fact, Zhang Mao only guessed partly right, because Zhu Houzhao still had bigger moves to play behind him.
