Chapter 152: Voting for the Name (Seventeenth Update, Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets!) )
(PS: Ahem, this 'ledger' is actually a lead, and now it seems that the time has come to lead to a plot.) )
Ning Xiu couldn't help but worry about Zhang Juzheng.
The stakes are high in this 'ledger', and the slightest carelessness in handling it will cause an uproar.
And judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it is not only Chu Wanglun's problem, but also the King of Liao.
This is even more complicated.
The King of Liao must know the importance of this ledger, what if he is ruthless and attacks himself?
No, this ledger must not be left in your hands.
After Ning Xiu pondered, he went to bed early.
At dawn the next day, he left the county school and went to Zhang's house.
At this time, the top and bottom of the Zhang Mansion had not yet entered the working state, and when Ning Xiu knocked on the door, the doorman yawned to open the door.
Seeing that the person who came was Ning Xiu, the official was a little surprised: "Didn't Ning Xianggong study in the county?" Why did you come here early in the morning? ”
Ning Xiu cleared his throat and said, "I have something important to discuss with Zhang Sangongzi, and I have to rush back to the county school in a while." ”
The doorman sighed and led Ning Xiu in.
The two walked along the hand-copying verandah one after the other, and came to the cross-courtyard where Zhang Maoxiu lived.
Ning Xiu has also been to Jiangling Zhang's house many times before and after, and he is already familiar with the road. Even if the official doesn't lead it, it won't be too much of a problem.
I have to say that Zhang Maoxiu's life and rest are still very good. He went to bed early and got up early, and was dancing his sword in the courtyard at the moment, and the door official took Ning Xiu and retired. Ning Xiu stood quietly on the side and watched Zhang Maoxiu finish dancing the entire set of swordsmanship.
Zhang Maoxiu put the sword into the sheath and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, only to find that Ning Xiu was standing next to him, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why is Brother Ning Xian here?" ”
Ning Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. Brother Mao, let's go into the house and talk. ”
Zhang Maoxiu nodded, and then led Ning Xiu into the room.
After the two of them sat down separately, Zhang Maoxiu made a cup of tea for Ning Xiu and himself, and said happily: "Now Brother Ning Xian can say it, why did you come to the house early in the morning?" ”
"Brother Mao, take a look at this."
Ning Xiu handed the soaked ledger to Zhang Maoxiu, looking extremely helpless.
Zhang Maoxiu took the account book and opened it, at first he thought there was nothing unusual, but when he looked closely, he was scared into a cold sweat.
"Brother Ning Xian, where did you get this account book, and how do you occasionally remember these things in it?"
Ning Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is what Chu Wanglun brought with me, I got it unintentionally, but I never thought it was written with special ink." On the surface, this is a normal ledger, but if the ledger encounters water, the blank parts of it will be revealed. Yesterday, Brother Ru inadvertently knocked over the teapot, and the tea soaked the account book, so Ning made this discovery. ”
Hiss!
Zhang Maoxiu gasped when he heard this, but his mood was extremely complicated.
"If Ning didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid that this matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the King of Liao. The matter was so important that I didn't dare to make decisions on my own, so I came to discuss with Brother Mao. ”
Zhang Maoxiu listened to Ning Xiu while rubbing his forehead but was silent.
It was a long time before he let out a long sigh; "My father was dedicated to the country, and he never thought that he would be framed like this. If this matter is really related to His Royal Highness the King of Liao, it will be too chilling. ”
Zhang Maoxiu didn't say it all, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Today's King of Liao was originally just a side branch of the Liao Dynasty, and he was named King Guangyuan.
If it weren't for Zhang Juzheng's strong advice to the Son of Heaven, how could he inherit the Liao Domain?
But the facts proved that this guy was a venomous snake who would take revenge, and he secretly concocted 'criminal evidence' in an attempt to bite hard.
"Brother Mao, people's hearts are unpredictable. His Royal Highness the King of Liao looked kind and humble, and he couldn't imagine such a scheming. ”
Ning Xiu said everything that needed to be said and did everything that should be done. Now it's up to Zhang Maoxiu to deal with it.
Zhang Maoxiu pondered for a moment, clenched his fists and said, "I should still tell my father about this matter." I sent someone to Beijing and handed over this 'account book' to my father with my own hands. ”
Ning Xiu nodded, Zhang Maoxiu's decision was very stable, I believe that Zhang Juzheng would not sit still when he saw the 'ledger', but would react immediately.
The King of Liao died by himself, so it is no wonder that Zhang Juzheng was ruthless.
Judging from the absolute strength comparison, the King of Liao cannot be compared with Zhang Juzheng at all. On the premise of being prepared, the Liao King had no chance of winning.
"For this matter, I am really grateful to Brother Ning Xian."
Zhang Maoxiu stepped forward and grabbed Ning Xiu's hands tightly, but Ning Xiu was quite embarrassed.
"Ahem, why is Brother Mao so polite? Ning believes that Zhang Ge Lao is a person, the Ming Dynasty cannot live without Zhang Ge Lao, and His Majesty cannot do without Zhang Ge Lao. ”
Ning Xiu also simply took the opportunity to show his loyalty to the Zhang family. If it is said that a letter of nomination is required to invest in Zhang Juzheng's door, this 'account book' is definitely the most suitable.
Conversations between smart people are often short, with only a few sentences to the end.
"Brother Mao, I came out before He Jiao's teaching, and I have to rush back now."
In the month before the examination, every morning in the morning, the "Four Books" will be taught by He Jiaoyu himself. Ning Xiu was already targeted by He Jiaoyu, so he naturally didn't want to be tied to his pigtails when he was late for class again, so he said goodbye to Zhang Maoxiu.
Zhang Maoxiu nodded slightly: "Brother Ning Xian's high righteousness has been written down by my Zhang family." Schoolwork is important, Brother Ning Xian should go back to the county to study first. ”
Ning Xiu then turned around and left.
Zhang Maoxiu immediately wrote a letter, summoned another old minister, and whispered instructions to him.
"Now that my father is in an important position, and countless pairs of eyes are on him, you must not make a noise, and hand over this booklet and the letter to your father."
Although the old retainer was angry and hateful, he also knew that it was a big matter, and he owed it to him.
"Go, go early and come back early, don't delay on the way."
Zhang Maoxiu only felt tired, and the old retainer stepped back and sat on the chair.
What did his Zhang family do to be framed like this?
Where did my father offend the King of Liao and want to be bitten by him?
What's wrong with this world?
First those imperial historians, then the officials of the real power yamen, and now there is a Liao king.
Is it wrong for my father to want to do something practical for Daming? Is it true that everyone is happy with the attitude of messing around?
He really felt confused, why did people who did practical things be treated so unfairly, and why did they end up so for the sake of the court?
If the court is filthy like this, then what is the point of him studying hard?
For the first time, Zhang Maoxiu felt that his life ideals had been strongly impacted, is this still the brilliant Ming in his impression?
