Zhang Juzheng was shocked when he opened the list and estimated it for a moment! The number of people here is close to half of the officials in the court! And there are actually several officials in key positions among them! If he gets the support of these people, Zhang Juzheng will be able to manipulate the court even more easily!
But Zhang Juzheng cannot guarantee that this list is all the people in the court, because he would not hand over all his cards! So after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said: "You Qi, do you think I should agree to Plum Blossom Club's conditions?"
You Qi didn't know Zhang Juzheng's specific thoughts, but he fully demonstrated the due role of a think tank. He said slowly: "I think the master should agree!"
Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed and he said, "What is your reason?"
You Qi organized his words and said: "Accepting these people will be a great help for me to control the court! Instead of pushing them to the opposite side, it is better to bring them under control."
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Not enough!"
You Qi nodded and said: "There is also a second point, and that is the identity of these people! They are officials first, and then they are people from the Plum Blossom Club and the Juhua Club! And the master is the chief minister of the dynasty, and he can make them prosperous. opportunity, and this is something that the Lord cannot give them! After all, some of their things can only be operated in the dark, and it is not as convenient as the master's open and aboveboard operation! If the master operates properly in the future, maybe he can really bring these people under his command! At some point, maybe I can turn my back on guests and take control of the Plum Blossom Club!"
Zhang Juzheng laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Yes, that's the truth! You tell Li Sancai tomorrow and say that I agree to their conditions! But the ugly words are ahead. Since they have surrendered to me, they must work seriously. , we can’t tolerate them!”
After hearing this, You Qi agreed, and then said: "Sir, that Li Sancai still wants to take this opportunity to visit me, what do you think?"
Zhang Juzheng said disdainfully: "How can a mere pawn exploring the road have the right to show his teeth and show his claws in front of me! Just say no!"
You Qi nodded to express his understanding, and then continued: "Sir, do you want to go say hello to the factory guard? They may have some news about the master meeting."
Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment and said, "You might as well ask."
You Qi then arranged the documents on the table and stood up to leave. Zhang Juzheng sat in a chair and meditated for a long time before opening the door and leaving the study to rest.
In the past few days, Emperor Wanli could not be satisfied with his life! However, he still followed Zhang Jia's advice and tried to concentrate on dealing with the professors and exams given by Zhang Juzheng and several other masters. However, his efforts were praised by Zhang Juzheng and other masters, which was a mistake!
When he finally got to the day of rest, he hurriedly urged himself to change his clothes, and went straight to Uncle Gu Ning's house with his guards in civilian clothes. He didn't even look carefully at some of the novelties on the road, which showed that he was already impatient to a certain extent.
When they arrived at Uncle Fixed's residence, Zhang Jia stepped forward and knocked on the door. The porter opened the door, looked at the master and servant, and saw a group of guards in plain clothes behind them. He hurriedly sent another porter inside to report the news, while he opened the door wide and welcomed Emperor Wanli and others in.
Emperor Wanli entered the gate and said, "You are very discerning. You actually know how to open the middle gate to greet me! Zhang Jia, watch and reward!"
In the past, the front doors of wealthy families were generally closed. Most people can only use the side door. People with higher status only open the door half-open when entering. Only when important people come, or guests with a higher status than yourself, can the main door be fully opened.
Zhang Jia took out two coins from his pocket and threw it to the concierge. After receiving it, the concierge smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyesight and hurriedly explained: "This is all what my second young master ordered. I just followed it!"
Emperor Wanli said strangely: "Why, your second son knows that I am coming?"
The concierge led the way while shaking his head and said: "How is that possible! My second young master is not a god, he can pinch and calculate! He just described the body shape of the noble and his companion to the villain, and told the young master to immediately come to him as soon as he saw the noble. Open the middle door wide to welcome him! The second young master said that anyone who matches this appearance and dress is a very noble person. If you are young, you must be careful!"
The plainclothes guards behind Emperor Wanli felt much more at ease after hearing the concierge's explanation. If the Liu family could know about Emperor Wanli's departure from the palace, I'm afraid they would all be held accountable! When Emperor Wanli heard this, he gained some confidence in Liu Haojia! Since he could predict that he was coming, he might actually be able to come up with an idea to suit the situation!
As soon as he thought of this, he saw Liu Haojia and others hurriedly came out to greet him. Just as he was about to pay homage, Emperor Wanli impatiently waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, okay! Stop saluting! I came to you this time for something important!"
As soon as these words came out, before Liu Haojia could speak, the concierge standing beside him felt weak all over, and knelt down with a "pop". He wanted to kowtow, but his body was so weak that he was completely out of shape!
Liu Haojia hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is laughing! The servants at home have no idea!"
Then Liu Haojia said to the dumbfounded Liu Guangyuan behind him: "Uncle Guangyuan, tell everyone to keep their mouths shut and stay in their rooms and not come out. In addition, make good arrangements for the guards your Majesty has brought!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia accompanied Emperor Wanli and the two of them into the main hall. Entering the main hall, Emperor Wanli asked casually: "Why are you the only one here to greet me? Are Uncle Gu Ning and your eldest brother here?"
Liu Haojia led Emperor Wanli to sit down and said: "My father and eldest brother have errands in the military camp, and they have to go to Dianmao every day. It's not the time for the next shift, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back before noon!"
Emperor Wanli nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that Uncle Gu Ning is very diligent, very good!"
While talking, a maid was already bringing tea to him with great fear. Liu Haojia took the tea and gave it to Emperor Wanli, who sat down to accompany him and said, "I wonder what important matters your Majesty has at home today?"
When this topic came up, Emperor Wanli, who had wanted to take a sip of tea, suddenly lost interest and directly put the teacup on the table and said: "I really have something important to do with you! I want to practice martial arts, but Master Zhang and Feng Daban are Everyone is opposed openly and covertly, and they want me to find a way to raise money to build the venue!"
So he told in detail what happened after he said he wanted to practice martial arts. When it was said that Queen Mother Li allowed him to recruit more playmates, Liu Haojia interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, did you really say that?"
