Chapter Eighty-Three: The Poison Scheme
In the study room of Zhang's Mansion in Taicang, Wu Weiye was reporting to Zhang Pu about yesterday's results: "Teacher, Uncle Zhang Cai was fast enough to do things yesterday, and the students didn't participate much, so Uncle Zhang Cai gathered enough manpower. ”
Zhang Pu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "After all, your Uncle Zhang Cai is called Erzhang with the teacher, how can you be in vain?" It would be strange if he couldn't muster so many students. ”
Wu Weiye replied yes, complimented him again, and then said, "I'm afraid that after a while, Uncle Zhang Cai will come over to discuss this matter with you." ”
Zhang Pu said: "Hmm." It's time to come over too. You should step back first, so that you can go and prepare, since this tyrant wants to open the imperial examination, it is just to push you up, so that we will always be subject to those people in the north.
In addition, when you go north, bring that Fushou ointment from overseas and find a way to sacrifice it to the tyrant. ”
When Wu Weiye heard this, he shuddered and said, "Teacher, is it appropriate to offer this thing?" If the tyrant notices that something is wrong, it will be a matter of destroying the family. ”
Zhang Pu sneered and said: "What are you afraid of, this thing is recorded as black incense in the "Daming Huidian", and the Wanli Emperor named it Fushou Paste and gave it a poem. The tyrant was in his youth, and this thing happened to help him with sexual affairs, didn't it just charm him? ”
Wu Weiye still objected: "I'm afraid that the effect of this thing is not as good as the teacher thinks, and it is not difficult for the royal family to obtain this Fushou ointment, even if the student sacrifices, I am afraid that it is not very useful." In the eyes of the students, this matter is too risky. ”
Zhang Pu said: "Heh, what about the risk? Some people say that Zhuge is only cautious in his life, and the teacher likes to take risks, but isn't it good now? Just do what your teacher tells you to do. ”
Wu Weiye couldn't, so he had to agree. was about to say goodbye and go back, but when the housekeeper came to report, he said that Zhang Cai had come.
Zhang Pu ordered the housekeeper to invite Zhang Cai, and said to Wu Weiye: "That's it, you can stay too, just discuss this matter with your Uncle Zhang Cai." ”
When Zhang Cai came to the study, when he saw that Wu Weiye was also there, he smiled and said, "The virtuous nephew is also here?" I don't know how the preparation for this imperial examination is? ”
Wu Weiye hurriedly saluted and said, "Uncle Hui's words are almost ready." ”
Zhang Cai said: "Relax, relax. If you don't get it, it's not a matter of your master's cultivation book? And take it easy, don't worry too much. ”
Zhang Pu took over the conversation and said, "Brother Nanguo's mouth is really unforgiving." ”
After some jokes, Zhang Pu continued: "But it's all arranged? ”
When Zhang Cai heard this, he also said: "Yes, everything has been arranged, and in three days, we will launch it together."
At that time, the soldiers were divided into two routes, and burned his Suzhou Yamen and Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving Yamen respectively. ”
Zhang Pu stroked his goatee and said, "Hmm." Once the matter had been arranged, it would be launched in three days. This time, we will definitely resist those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. ”
Then, he sighed: "Asking for my life for the people is not in vain for me to wait for so many years to read the books of the sages." ”
Zhang Cai also said: "What Brother Ximing said is extremely true. When today's son is cruel and unkind, such a collection of wealth is not only competing with the people for profit, but simply not giving the people a way to live. And pretending to say that you will never be endowed, that is, just bluffing and bluffing those mud legs, I bah! ”
Zhang Pu continued: "Yes, this time I will definitely expose the true face of the tyrant to the world!" ”
Wu Weiye also joked: "What the master and uncle said is very true. I'm afraid that after this time, the tyrant will not want to raise the burden of commercial tax again. ”
Zhang Pu said: "Whether this tyrant accepts it or not, the blessing and longevity ointment must be offered to him." I heard that the tyrant and the first emperor have a deep relationship, so it is better to let him accompany the first emperor as soon as possible, which can be regarded as fulfilling their deep brotherhood. ”
Zhang Cai was taken aback and said: "Brother Ximingxian, this matter is not a joke, if the news is revealed, you and I will die without a place to be buried!" ”
Zhang Bo glanced at Zhang Cai and sneered, "Brother Nan Guo is scared now? And relax. How the first emperor and the Taichang emperor controlled Bintian, you don't know. Today's brutality is not enough to worship the temple, and we are just eliminating harm for the people. ”
Zhang Cai secretly scolded this Zhang Bo Di in his heart! If I didn't know, my sin would have been lighter, but now I have been tied to the thief ship by this bastard, and I will be a grasshopper on a rope from now on!
Now that he has boarded the thief ship, there is only one way to go to the dark.
Zhang Cai gritted his teeth and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to arrange people to blend into the eunuch party first, follow Huo Weihua's old wisdom, and dedicate the blessing and longevity to the tyrant." If something really happens, I'll pick it up later. ”
Zhang Pu stroked his beard and said, "Hmm." But it was the younger brother who thought about this matter simply, so he followed what Brother Nan Guo said. ”
Turning his head, he said to Wu Weiye: "Did you hear it?" ”
Wu Weiye said: "Yes, Master." After the disciple returned, he issued an article criticizing the Donglin Party, first mixed into the Eunuch Party, and then borrowed the hands of the Eunuch Party to offer the blessing and longevity anointing. ”
Zhang Pu nodded and praised: "Hmm." Not bad. It's not in vain to teach the teacher"
Turning his head, Zhang Pu asked Zhang Cai again: "Has Yuan Manzi arranged it there?" ”
Zhang Cai said: "It's already in place." Since the barbarian wanted to set up his own door, he let him go. Since they are all going to Liaodong, I have promised to help him.
After a few days, there will naturally be rumors among the Jingshi, saying that what Jiannu fears the most is that Yuan Manzi, and then there will be someone in the Hou Dynasty to impeach the ministers of the King of Liaodong Jinglue, and they are not afraid that the tyrant will not use Yuan Manzi.
As long as the matter is completed, we can find reliable manpower among the Jin merchants again and reopen the channel to Liaodong. ”
When Zhang Pu heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, it's good to arrange it like this." There is a way to be a combination of two benefits, first push that Yuan Manzi, wait for him to ascend to the position of Liaodong Economic Strategy or Liaodong Governor, then Yuan Manzi will go to take charge of the military power he wants, and we will continue to contact Jin merchants to sell goods. ”
After speaking, he remembered something again and asked, "By the way, how is Yuan Manzi's teacher, Inspector Sun, now?" ”
Zhang Cai was a little frustrated when he heard this, and replied: "Although that old thing has no ability, but he is a hard bone, and he is dedicated to serving the tyrant, and we have sent people to give gifts several times, but they have been blocked back." ”
Zhang Pu sneered: "Since he wants to be a loyal minister, let him do it at home." The younger brother then wrote a book, so that the court could impeach him, so that the tyrant would not remember, and then he was called back. ”
The three of them were discussing, but they heard a noisy sound outside the study, and Zhang Pu said, "Why are you so unruly? Jun Gong went out to have a look. ”
Wu Weiye heard this, and was about to go out, but he didn't prevent the door from being kicked open.
