Finally, I returned to the capital again.

However, unlike the last time, as soon as he returned to the capital, Shi Yiwen felt the difference in the atmosphere in the capital, not only because of the coup d'état, but because of the people's hearts that fluctuated after the coup.

Even, when he returned to the capital, there was no one to greet him at all. No one even noticed his return, but even so, Shi Yiwen still went to Zhang Juzheng's house in Wusha Hutong for the first time, and when he arrived at Wusha Hutong, he saw more than a dozen soldiers with thunderbolt guns standing in front of Zhang's house, and the leader was his acquaintance.

When he saw Shi Yiwen get down from the carriage, Zhang Pengju was immediately surprised.

"Zhiyuan, didn't you go to Nanyang? How did you come back so soon! ”

"I'll be back when I'm busy over there, is Shoufu in the house?"

"Yes, yes, wait a minute, I'll let people pass it through,"

When he ordered the soldiers to pass the message, Zhang Pengju deliberately lowered his voice and said.

"You should have heard of it, hey, this time, you can give Shoufu to death, you said that you locked up so many people, whether to kill, or to punish, but it's all a thing, Zhiyuan, you have a lot of ideas, you can give Shoufu some ideas in a while......"

As soon as he spoke, You Qi had already greeted him personally.

"Mr. Shi, please come in quickly, the master is waiting for you in the study."

Whether it is in the history books or in reality, You Qi is not only Zhang Juzheng's confidant, but also his staff, and even known as "half-phase", after a polite sentence, Shi Yiwen followed him into Zhang's house, and Shi Yiwen asked deliberately on the way.

"Brother You, how is the situation over there Shousuke?"

"Oh, I'll tell you the truth, these days, the lord doesn't think about tea and food, and he talks about you all day and night."

Talking about me?

Shi Yiwen was surprised.

"Yes, when will you be able to return to Beijing, don't you have to wait a few more days? How did it arrive so quickly? ”

You Qi asked with some confusion.

"The boat is fast, if you are not worried about whether there will be any accidents on the road, the little brother will hurry back."

"Indeed, indeed, when you see the lord in a while, the lord must have something to ask you, if the lord gets angry, you will take care of it more......"

Although he had the title of "half-phase", You Qi seemed very polite, and when he approached the study, he asked casually.

"Is Miss alright?"

"It's okay......" Before he finished speaking, Shi Yiwen looked at You Qi in amazement, and when his eyes narrowed slightly, he listened to him.

"Don't worry, Childe, this is asked for the master, you know, there are some things that the master must not know."

Belch!

What does that mean?

In confusion, Shi Yiwen walked into the study, and as soon as he entered the room with his front feet, he heard a loud shout.

"Shi Zhiyuan, you killed the old man!"

With a loud scolding, a black shadow smashed towards Shi Yiwen, and after staggering to avoid it, he heard the cracking sound of the teacup hitting the ground, and then he saw the angry Zhang Juzheng glaring at him.

"Shousuke, what does this mean?"

"What do you mean, you Shi Zhiyuan is selfish, let the old man be the enemy of the world, the old man is shrewd, but it is ruined in your hands, how do you let the old man be willing!"

Glaring at Shi Yiwen angrily, Zhang Juzheng scolded.

"If it weren't for the collusion between you and Lu Tiaoyang in Jiangnan, how could they have taken such a dangerous step and done such a rebellious thing when they were in the south of the Yangtze River! You, you Shi Yiwen is my Ming sinner! ”

And Shi Yiwen is not annoyed by such accusations, he can understand Zhang Juzheng's mood now, now he is probably in an extremely ambivalent psychology, on the one hand, he knows that he is now in power, after taking the opportunity to clear the opposition forces, he can naturally implement reforms according to his own will, but on the other hand, he doesn't know that there are few powerful ministers like him throughout the ages who have a good end, even if he is alive, it is only for a while, and when he is behind, The emperor will not remember the merits of his life, so he is very confused!

is not only confused, but also from the heart of the panic, this panic is never in the past, although before this, Zhang Juzheng had expected to one day monopolize power, but now after the power is tilted into the opposition, he has fallen into a panic that he has never had.

After the initial anger, Zhang Juzheng sighed, then shook his head and said.

"Zhiyuan, do you know why the old man is so angry."

Looking at Shi Yiwen, Zhang Juzheng's gaze was a little complicated, he had always admired this young man, and now there was a deeper relationship between the two, but ......

"Uncle is worried about the future?"

Although he has not yet married Tang Ziqi, Shi Yiwen still uses this title.

Nodding silently, Zhang Juzheng sighed and said.

"Alive, the old man is not worried, but after death, he can't help but worry."

Looking at Shi Yiwen, Zhang Juzheng said with a solemn expression.

"Fu Zuozhou told me your idea in the letter, if it was a few days ago, I would not hesitate to reject you, but now it's different......"

Closing his eyes in some pain, Zhang Juzheng sighed.

"People are selfish, and so are you, why do you want to go to Nanyang in order to find a place for those people to stay?"

Snorted sarcastically, Zhang Juzheng once again set his eyes on Shi Yiwen and did not continue.

"Did you go to Nanyang this time to get what you wanted? I heard that you built a city over there, and it's called Nantianmen. ”

"Everything is going well."

Nodding, Shi Yiwen replied.

"Counting the local area, there are almost no more than three or four hundred thousand people, but in the current situation, I am afraid that there will not be so many people, after all, it is not the same as before......

Facing Zhang Juzheng's gaze, Shi Yiwen knew that it was impossible for all those people to be exiled to Nantianmen, after all, there were dozens of vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, and those vassal kings were in Nanyang, and they also needed talents, and these prisoners were talents, maybe they had done everything possible to block the reform, but they were indeed talents. For them, becoming a vassal official is undoubtedly the best outcome. Many of them are bound to be used by the vassal king, which is not a good thing for themselves.

"Oh,"

Zhang Juzheng didn't take over the topic, he just glanced at Shi Yiwen, and then said.

"In this way, there are still some gains from this trip to the South Seas."

Nodding slightly, Zhang Juzheng stared at Shi Yiwen and said.

"Zhiyuan, you have two choices now, one is that after ten years, the old man will enter the cabinet, and after the old man is behind, you will definitely be the old man of my Daming Pavilion, under one person, above ten thousand people. As for the other one, which is to go to the South Seas, what choice will you make? ”
