"Zhang Juzheng, give me back my life!"
"Zhang Jiangling, even if I become a devil, I will not let you go!"
Zhang Juzheng, who was talking eloquently in the cabinet, suddenly found Liu Tai, dressed in white and with a pale complexion, rushing toward him. He was speechless and wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say a word with all his strength.
Zhang Juzheng had never seen Liu Tai like this before. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire. The muscles on his face were almost twisted because of anger, and the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth was red and glaring.
When he bared his teeth and claws and attacked Zhang Juzheng, his face suddenly changed and turned into a high-arched face. Zhang Juzheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Xinzheng. When the father-in-law met, you and I, From the time we met until now, it has lasted for several years."
Gao Gong's eyes widened and he scolded: "You are a traitor who monopolizes power and overwhelms the country with funerals. I, Gao, are ashamed to be your friend!" After speaking, he bared his teeth and claws and stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Juzheng's hand and said, "Let's go see the late emperor." , I will sue you for the crime of forging an imperial edict!"
Zhang Juzheng struggled hard and said: "Xin Zheng Gong is joking, the world is clear, who dares to correct the edict-" He suddenly thought back: "Xin Zheng Gong, haven't you been dead for several years?"
Just after he said this, the person who grabbed his hand was no longer high-gone, but turned into Feng Bao. Behind Feng Bao stood a person with a blurry face. He looked like the late Emperor Longqing, and also looked like his head had been buried. Seven Xu Jue in a box.
Hearing Feng Bao say: "Uncle Zhang, does it hurt if Feng gives your old thief a knife?" After saying that, someone said with a ferocious face: "The pain of your death is not as painful as mine! You betrayed me that day and ruined my family." When it’s time to die, I can’t ask for death!”
Zhang Juzheng saw his father's killer in his dream, but he couldn't bring himself to fight, so he could only pull his hand hard to free his wrist from Feng Bao's hand. The person behind Feng Bao suddenly shouted: "Treacherous Prime Minister, look at the knife!" There was a flash of cold light - exactly the same as the one that hit his father's throat that day, and a shining flying knife came straight to his face.
With a sound of "Ah——", Zhang Juzheng suddenly sat up from the bed and broke out of this terrible nightmare. My body was dripping with sweat and my heart was pounding.
Hearing soft words from beside him: "Master, are you suffering from a nightmare?" Before he finished speaking, the glass oil lamp was turned on, and a beautiful woman in silk silk picked up a soft silk scarf and wiped Zhang Juzheng's forehead. Thick beads of sweat.
Zhang Juzheng calmed down, looked at the two lively faces waiting on the bed outside, and let out a long sigh.
He whispered: "Bring me a cup of tea." The woman agreed first and then said: "Sir, the health doctor said you can't drink tea at night. It's best to drink some milk so that you can sleep deeply." After saying this, Seeing that Zhang Juzheng didn't answer, she still took the bowl of tea handed over from outside.
After she tasted the heat and cold first, Zhang Juzheng lay half-ly on the pillow at the head of the bed, leaning against her and taking a sip of tea. Then he asked: "What time is it now?"
The beauty said: "It's not even midnight yet, sir, please sleep a little longer." Zhang Juzheng didn't answer, and stared blankly at the top of the tent, feeling that the round blessing character embroidered with gold thread was like a millstone.
Zhang Wenming was assassinated on the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifth year of Wanli. It will now be five years. At the beginning, the entire world situation was affected by Zhang Wenming's case, and the emperor ordered dozens of Jiangnan wealthy families to be buried with Zhang Wenming.
Zhang Juzheng's tentacles all over the empire also fed back various news related to Zhang Wenming's assassination. Someone in Zhang Juzheng's staff was responsible for sorting out the information. However, as the information gradually increased, Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to stop the investigation at the beginning of the sixth year of Wanli.
Deep down in his heart, he never dared to think that his father's death had anything to do with the emperor. He stopped himself from thinking about that. He couldn't think of a reason for the emperor to attack his father.
However, today's dream revealed the real culprit clearly. Zhang Juzheng clearly remembered that at the end of the fifth year of Wanli, the Wei Dynasty was assigned by the emperor to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Some say he went to Nanjing - where Feng Bao's lair was.
No one explained to him, even though he was already inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people. It is extremely difficult for Zhang Juzheng to believe that it was the emperor who ordered Feng Bao - no one with a shred of political wisdom would be able to do so. However, Feng Bao assassinated Zhang Wenming, but the emperor did not execute him - Zhang Juzheng thought of this, shook his head, and killed this idea from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps Dong Jianxiong was the final murderer, Zhang Juzheng thought. His grandfather died in the hands of King Xiao Liao - the ridiculous prince kept pouring wine into his stomach, and drank him to death like that.
The real culprit didn't get the punishment he deserved until the Liao Palace was defeated. Zhang Juzheng now recalls that his grandfather should be the most favored person in the Zhang family - far more than his own father.
So, when the King of Liao was impeached, he gave him a gentle push and threw the entire King of Liao line into the abyss. Well, the person who wrote the announcement will not let this matter go - Liu Tai's case is just a small trigger, and it will be the princes' counterattack that kills everyone in his family.
I don’t know if the National Security Bureau has found out the culprits in the uncovering case. I don’t know how the National Security Bureau, the Military Intelligence Bureau of Jinyi Weigai, and the secret guards who only heard Zhang Juzheng’s voice but never saw his face are doing.
The Zhang family must be cursed. I wonder what will happen to me in the future. Will he die an unexpected death like his grandfather and father, or will he die a normal life?
The chirping of autumn insects disturbed Zhang Juzheng's thoughts. For many years, he had no time to grieve over spring and autumn. But at this time, in the early morning of an autumn day in the tenth year of Wanli, a feeling of sadness suddenly came to my heart.
The beauty next to him screamed, and Zhang Juzheng realized that his hand was a little too strong. He turned his head and looked at the tearful beauty, and suddenly realized that since the last time the emperor came to visit him, he had been squandering everything on the bed for many days.
He gestured to the woman to untie her clothes, and used his loose-skinned and skinny fingers to roam around her elastic body for a while. After feeling slightly refreshed, he gestured again and gently closed his eyes.
Following the beauty's movements, Zhang Juzheng let out a sigh of relief again. He turned over, arched his back, and waited for the waves of relief to arrive as expected.
...
On the third day of August in the tenth year of Wanli, he went to the imperial court. Jia San, Deputy Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached Zhang Xueyan and was sent to the court for discussion by the emperor. In the "empty salary case", Zhang Xueyan used his influence in the Privy Council to give the green light to the arms business of Weng Dali, Jia Shanyan and other gangs, and accepted a bribe of 70,000 taels - the Metropolitan Procuratorate has investigated and found out, and it has been a solid case.
Zhang Xueyan was very capable, and people at the time thought he was scheming. Not only did he cooperate with Li Chengliang in Liaodong to make countless achievements, but he also served in Liangjing, Shandong, and Shaanxi. He liquidated the land and gold of his relatives, seized official and civilian settlements, and greatly reduced private taxes. He was considered a capable minister of the Wanli Dynasty.
However, the status of a capable minister could not save the emperor's hatred for corruption. Zhang Xueyan was sentenced to hang in prison and will be executed later in the year. When Zhang Juzheng heard the emperor's indifferent verdict, his face remained calm, but his heart was filled with excitement.
Zhang Xueyan was the highest-ranking civil servant sentenced to death after Zhu Yijun arrested officials. Wang Ning, the former governor of Yunnan, was killed before the Battle of Burma, which shocked the world's official circles. Now that the deputy privy envoy and a first-rank official are sentenced to death, the shock to civil and military officials will be far greater than Wang Ning's sentence.
When Zhang Xueyan was involved in the empty wages case and was first detained, some people thought that the trend was about to change, and they impeached Zhang Xueyan and Wang Zongzai one after another, thinking that they had a plan. Unexpectedly, they were reprimanded by the emperor one after another, scolding them for acting according to the prevailing situation, which was so shameless - and they became disgraced.
Later, the palace announced that Zhang Juzheng's youngest son, Zhang Jingxiu, Princess Shang Shouyang, disappeared without a trace from the Ming Dynasty's officialdom without even making waves in the "unveiling case".
The verdict on Zhang Xueyan's case was over, and Zhang Juzheng was about to return to the political hall for work. Zhu Yijun left him to say: "Old sir, Zhang Ziyu has made great contributions to the country. Although his merits and demerits cannot be offset, you can go to see him in prison on my behalf and express my regrets. By the way, ask him if he has anything to say." of."
Zhang Juzheng was shocked when he heard this. He didn't know where Zhu Yijun's words came from? Seeing his doubts, Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Some people around me say that he is scheming. This man really has some tricks up his sleeve. Just ask him how to die - let him tell the truth."
