Chapter 63: Hypocrisy and Grievance

When Wang Chonggu asked Na Naji to bring Han Naji's excerpt to the capital, Gao Gong had already regained the position of the first assistant of the cabinet. Gao Gong, who re-entered the cabinet, was not unfamiliar with his work at all, and immediately threw himself into it. He is very grateful to Zhang Juzheng for recommending himself, but one yard is one yard, and the contradiction between him and Zhang Juzheng always exists. Naturally, the work of re-forming the gang is indispensable, but the most important thing at the moment is about the Hannaji.

Zhang Juzheng was also very anxious about this matter, and he could guess that Zhang Fan and the others must be waiting for news here. However, many people in the DPRK and China objected, although Zhang Juzheng was the second in command of the cabinet, but after all, he was alone, and he had no choice but to ask Gao Gong for help.

It is said that this Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were close friends, and their experiences are quite similar. Gao Gong had also lectured in Yuwang's Mansion before, opened his mansion to teach scriptures, and Longqing also liked him a lot. And after he was promoted, his successor was Zhang Juzheng. Perhaps because of their common experience, the two gradually became irreversible, just because there was a gap between Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng's edict, but the two did not have a deep hatred, and now Xu Jiezhishi, Zhang Juzheng felt that it was an opportunity to get back together.

On this day, Zhang Juzheng came to Gao Gong's mansion, and after the two of them saw each other, Gao Gong said very enthusiastically: "How is the virtuous brother?" I don't know what to teach me this time? ”

Zhang Juzheng was also very happy and said, "Brother Su Qing, the younger brother is here this time, but he wants to ask for each other. ”

"But for what about the exchange of markets with the Tartars?" Gao Gong has a keen sense of political smell, how could he not see his intentions.

"That's it." Zhang Juzheng saw that he said it clearly, and he no longer talked about sloppiness, and said straight to the point: "This time Hannaji came to surrender, it was a big few times, how can you let it go." ”

"I heard that Brother Xian has accepted a good apprentice, and this time he will also go north with him?" Gao Gong suddenly brought up the matter.

"Exactly." Zhang Juzheng said.

"Brother Xian is so anxious about this matter, isn't he worried about the safety of his beloved disciple?" Gao Gong asked, his words so kind that he didn't mean anything.

Zhang Juzheng listened to his words, sighed, and said: "Yuande, this kid has a bright future, and now he has just started a family, if you don't worry about him lying at that time." But what is more important is my Ming's interests. ”

Gao Gong didn't speak, he knew that Zhang Juzheng's words were sincere and not false.

"The younger brother knows that there are some unpleasant things between Brother Su Qing and me, but the younger brother also knows that Brother Su Qing is a good official who is dedicated to the country." Zhang Juzheng continued, "I also ask Brother Su Qing to temporarily put aside the gap with those who disagree with him and finalize this matter." The younger brother will definitely not ask Brother Su Qing about his plans again. ”

It turned out that Gao Gong made a comeback this time, and many people who had conflicts with him in the court were panicked, and an incident happened a few days ago. At that time, there was one Hu Yingjia who forced Gao Gong to go home to recuperate, and Gao Gong knew that this person was instructed by Xu Jie. Now that Xu Jiezhishi has returned to his hometown, after Gao Gong was reinstated, people took a walk to deal with the news that they wanted to deal with these people, that Hu Yingjia was really cowardly, and he was scared to death, and this matter was full of turmoil.

Gao Gong listened to him and fell silent. Zhang Juzheng didn't speak anymore and waited patiently.

After a while, Gao Gong said: "Aren't you afraid of forcing me to answer in a hurry and killing the killer?" ”

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Brother Su Qing entered the cabinet earlier than the younger brother, and he has also fought with me in secret several times, you know his thoughts best, do you still need to ask the younger brother?" ”

Zhang Juzheng's words are reasonable, even if he doesn't know me very well, at least he knows that he has some wisdom. If the Ming Dynasty sealed the Hannaji, the Tatar nobles would inevitably answer my questions, and when the time came, I would definitely try their best to sue for peace with the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Gong looked at Zhang Juzheng for a long time and said, "Since this is the case, I will promise Brother Xian." But the virtuous brother must also remember what he said, and never interfere with me. ”

"Uncle will never dare to break his word." Zhang Juzheng said very seriously.

"In that case, what is the good brother going to do?" The matter was settled, and Gao Gong began to inquire about specific matters.

"I've been thinking about it for days." Zhang Juzheng said, "I also ask Brother Su Qing and me to jointly play and ask the Holy Lord to surrender and answer." ”

Gao Gong listened to his words, laughed, and said: "Brother Xian, I have a good plan, I am the first assistant, you are the second assistant, and the two of us will play together, I am afraid that everyone in the court and the central government will oppose it, and Your Majesty will have to think about it." ”

"This is just a means to attract attention, and more importantly, to describe the power of this place, in this way, Your Majesty will definitely agree." Zhang Juzheng said.

At that moment, the two of them jointly proposed to fold and played to Longqing. Sure enough, on the second day, when Longqing asked people to read out this fold, it caused an uproar in the court. Let's not talk about what the excerpt said, even the joint name of Gao and Zhang is amazing enough. But after thinking about it, everyone was relieved, Gao Gong's biggest opponent left, and there was only a small gap between him and Zhang Juzheng, and this person was quite ambitious, so they were relieved.

Although most of the people in the DPRK and the Central Committee were against it, they felt that I had already agreed to exchange markets, so there was no need to make such trouble. Moreover, the timing of Hannaji's surrender is too coincidental, and I am afraid that it will be a fraud. Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng tried their best to disagree and described the stakes here, although everyone was still quite unconvinced, but Longqing was moved and approved their proposal.

The next one is even more absolute, and the method adopted by Gao Gong is to "serve and serve it thickly", so that Hannaji wears brocade clothes, sits in a Chinese car, rides a good horse, and swaggers through the market. Immediately the news spread throughout the world, all the way to the land of the North.

Wang Xilie and the others entered a stalemate stage with my answer, and the people in the Ministry of Rites were always painless, occasionally talking about topics related to the mutual market, but they couldn't point to the topic at all, and I remember that I was very anxious.

In the middle of the court, although Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong acted quickly, it took a few days, and it had been five or six days since Zhang Fan received the news that Hannaji had surrendered. I am in a hurry, but the people in the Ministry of Rites are not in a hurry; Similarly, Zhang Fan is not in a hurry, his main job this mission is to attract the attention of others, and he has done a good job. The disguised official position is not high, but he has been treated respectfully by many people and even Wang Xilie, after all, his identity in the Ming Court is not kept secret, and I will know a rough idea as soon as I send someone to investigate. Imagine how Zhang Fan's identity as the second-in-command of Jinyi Wei is not eye-catching! And he himself seems to be indifferent, but he is very happy, mainly because of that Li Yingyue.

These days, Zhang Fan and Li Yingyue can always be seen in and out of the city in pairs, as if they are lovers in love. At first, Li Yingyue took the initiative to find Zhang Fan, and later the two were transferred. Zhang Fan also told Li Yingyue that he had a wife, but Li Yingyue didn't seem to care, and still had a hot fight with him.

The two of them played games, but neither dared to show their feet, and neither of them asked anyone about anything important. Those businessmen saw that Zhang Fan and a woman of different races were very close, and there was nothing wrong with them, but they were happy for him, after all, it was very common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Although Li Yingyue is of a different race, some Fengyue veterans still secretly understand Zhang Fan, and women of different races are very bold, especially the style between the beds is even more ecstatic. Hearing Zhang Fan's helplessness, he was really a little tempted by the newlywed, but for the sake of the important task of the court, he hadn't started yet.

On this day, Li Yingyue invited Zhang Fan to her home, which was originally unthinkable in China, but it is very natural here. Her home is not big, but it is very well furnished. Li Yingyue's "mother" is the only one in the family, and I heard that her father served in the lord's guard, and he was often unable to be at home. Li Yingyue's "mother", a middle-aged Han woman, can still vaguely see the style of the year on her face eroded by the years. Zhang Fan saw that the woman was really a little similar to Li Yingyue, but he didn't know if it was his biological mother or the stand-in he had spent a lot of effort to find.

In addition to the introduction, Zhang Fan only said that her name was Yu Lan'er, who was plundered here by the Tartars when she was young, and was taken by Li Yingyue's "father" when she was about to be a slave, so she got out of the sea of suffering. This woman is very good at acting, and an experience is sad and crying. She was very happy to know that Zhang Fan was an official of the Ming Dynasty, and seemed to want her "daughter" to get out of the sea of suffering, and followed Zhang Fan, even if she knew that Yingyue could only be a concubine, she didn't care at all. The enthusiasm almost made Zhang Fan agree, but fortunately, Wang Meng on the side coughed lightly and reminded him.

Yu Lan'er let Zhang Fan and Yingyue be alone very "acquaintance", Wang Meng saw that she would not be a killer, and she also went out, but she didn't dare to be in the courtyard, so she was on guard at the door.

Being alone in a room with a woman who has not left the cabinet, even if he knows that she is approaching him with a purpose, Zhang Fan can't help but be a little embarrassed. Li Yingyue was very enthusiastic, and unconsciously sat next to Zhang Fan.

"Zhang Gongzi, there is no one else here, and the little woman is not a villain, why should she be like this." Yingyue's voice was crisp and charming, and it came into Zhang Fan's ears, and his body was already close to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan hurriedly sat away and said, "Men and women don't kiss, Miss Li should respect yourself." ”

Li Yingyue listened to his words, as if she had been greatly wronged, and her face was full of tears, and she said: "Does the son dislike the little girl, she is a lowly woman who is not ashamed and just wants to climb to show her dignity." ”

Zhang Fan, who said some sad words, knew that she had ulterior motives, but still felt a sense of pity. Zhang Fan hurriedly said: "The girl misunderstood, it's just that Zhang Fan already has a family, so wouldn't it be a loss to the girl!" ”

Li Yingyue said sadly: "These days, Yingyue has already fallen in love with Childe, doesn't Childe know!" Yingyue doesn't care if the son has a wife, even if she is a slave and a maid, she is willing. ”

As soon as Zhang Fan heard her words, his head was big, and he didn't have to be so dramatic, false and wronged, and he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: "Does she really like me." But the thought was instantly suppressed. Thinking that since she is like this, she must cooperate well, sighed, and said helplessly: "Girl, Zhang Fan is really ashamed." The tone softened.

As soon as Li Yingyue heard that there was a play, she immediately changed her expression, her face became ruddy, and she said shyly: "I...... Can the moon be called...... Brother Fan? ”

Zhang Fan secretly screamed, not to mention that his expression changed so quickly and so naturally, just this voice, how tender and sweet, even the unruly Yanagishita Hui was not spared! Although Zhang Fan is also a principled person, he has always been a man, he did not have this capital in his previous life, he spent most of his life studying, and Ru Xue was married for more than a month. This time, the envoy was abstinent for more than ten days, and he was impatient for a long time, but he was provoked by a few words from Li Yingyue.

Zhang Fan was calm in his heart, he first tried to think about his beloved wife in his heart, but he knew that his desire was getting stronger and stronger, and there was no way, and he thought in his heart about the scene when he was almost killed by the Tartars when he went on the expedition, so he settled down a little.

Li Yingyue felt Zhang Fan's changes, but she also secretly admired it. Although he is still a virgin, he has tempted many people, but where is there a person with Zhang Fan's determination, he really has a trace of love for him in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Fan, if Yingyue has caused you trouble, please forgive Yingyue's no, just Yingyue...... Yingyue really fell in love with Brother Fan. Although the words were still full of hypocrisy, they carried a trace of truth, and after saying it, she felt inappropriate.

Zhang Fan also heard the trace of affection between her words, but he thought that this was her new trick, and secretly said with a powerful voice: "Yingyue doesn't have to be like this, I know, but isn't this wronged girl." ”

Li Yingyue listened to his hypocritical words, but somehow, there was a trace of loss in her heart, but she had not forgotten her task, and said with a smile: "Yingyue doesn't seek fame, she just wants to be by her brother's side." The words returned to their previous normal, and that trace of truth was also forced in her heart.

"It's just that my home is in Daming, you can really give up here." Zhang Fan's words are about to visit her.

Li Yingyue said helplessly: "Mother has always hoped that I can have a good home, if I marry a Ming person, even if I am a concubine, a slave or a maidservant, it is much better than becoming the plaything of those noble lords here." It's just that his father will definitely not allow it. After that, it was sad again.

Zhang Fan hurriedly soothed, but he still didn't know what her intentions were, and said tentatively again: "Yingyue, I'll go and intercede with the lord, if he agrees, won't your father talk about it!" ”

Li Yingyue listened to his words and said happily: "That's right! Brother Fan is an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and the lord will definitely agree. ”

Now Zhang Fan understands that Li Yingyue came here to ask for help, whether it was to answer me or to other Tatar nobles, it would definitely not be successful. As a result, her own work made her see hope, and her identity as a Jinyiwei was even more convenient for her to inquire about the news.

Zhang Fan said goodbye to him deeply, and then left her house. Back in the camp, Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng, "You have heard what we said, what do you think?" ”

Wang Meng also thought about it for a long time along the way, and said: "This woman must want to stay with the adult, but I don't know what the adult plans to do." ”

Zhang Fan thought about it for a while and said, "I decided to fall for her plan." Rather than turn her away, I don't know who will be sent over when the time comes. Now that this has surfaced, it is necessary to grasp it. ”

Wang Meng nodded, and said: "My lord, that woman is not a stupid person, can't she see that the adult already knows her identity and intentions?" ”

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "She is indeed not stupid, she also sees our plans." But if you still have to do this, the world will be big. I'm afraid she can't help herself. ”

Yes, since they already know that the other party has seen their plans, but they still have to be tough, this is tantamount to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth, but Li Yingyue did not hesitate to get into the trap, either she wanted to make meritorious service and wanted to go crazy, or the person who sent her out was in big trouble, or she had to do it herself.

Zhang Fan sighed and said, "Since the matter has been decided, let's wait and see what happens." ”
