106. [Explosion 4] Entrust the night of the third watch

When I came out of the Inspectorate, I was called to the Criminal Department for questioning, and this tossing and turning took most of the day. What is said is nothing more than misconduct, greed and bribery, style problems, etc. It's really boring and boring.

This day has passed, and it is really quite haggard. This kind of thing is like a toad, it doesn't bite, it disgusts people. I especially understand those who are bent into tricks, and in such a situation, no one can bear it!

Physically and mentally exhausted back to Wenhai Pavilion, my heart was enveloped by a very negative emotion. It's a feeling of wanting to vent, but not knowing where to start. I really want to arrest all those officials who were falsely accused! Kill! Save! Kill! Save! A hundred times!

When night fell, I didn't feel sleepy, and I always seemed to feel unsettled, as if something had not been done! What is it? I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out.

Sure enough, at about eleven o'clock in the evening, the housekeeper of the Shoufu Mansion suddenly came to Wenhai Pavilion and said that "he" asked me to go quickly.

When I heard this, a carp stood up, my outfit was still on my body, and I didn't change it at all, this is what I was waiting for, and I guessed it! Immediately, with the housekeeper of Zhang's Mansion, he sat in a fully enclosed carriage, galloped all the way, and arrived at the Shoufu Mansion in a short time.

The car stopped in the shadow behind the courtyard, and when the housekeeper and I saw that there was no one, we quickly entered the courtyard through the corner gate, and silently walked through the backyard grove to the side hall where Zhang Juzheng liked to stay.

I opened the curtain and entered the house, and when I took a closer look, the smell of Chinese medicine in the air seemed to be much lighter, and it was almost impossible to smell it. My heart sank - I didn't even need medicine......

My second uncle, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the court, was sitting on a small chair by the stove, bowing his head and writing hard, looking very good. Is this called a flashback?

Seeing me come in, the second uncle Zhang Juzheng, who was reviewing the folds, raised his head, showed a smile that only the elders can have when they see the juniors, and pointed to the small chair opposite and said, "Sit down!" Qilan! ”

I sat down silently, didn't speak, just stared at him. My second uncle put down the documents in his hand, turned to face me and said with a smile: "You have worked hard! ”

I know that this sentence of hard work is not only for my outstanding performance in Liaodong before, but also for the coping with the disturbances inside and outside the court in the past few days.

I endured and endured, endured and endured, and finally I couldn't hold back, and finally asked, "How much longer?" ”

Zhang Juzheng laughed twice, very hearty, as he looked when he was young. His eyes burned, and he slowly reached out a hand, holding out his index finger to the ceiling.

I was silent for a moment and asked, "A month?" ”

He put down his hands, folded them on his little belly, and smiled, "Yes." Without waiting for me to continue asking, he continued: "I have taken a palace secret medicine that will stimulate the vitality in my body, and according to the person who gave me the medicine, I have a maximum of a month left. ”

I knew that there was no point in saying anything else at the moment, so I took two deep breaths and asked, "What else do I need to do?" ”

Zhang Juzheng's second uncle smiled heartily, handed me an envelope, and said gently: "You have done a good job!" Qilan. I didn't expect that you would be so good, and as soon as you came back, you would stir up the water of Jingshi so much! It's time to jump out and jump out! It was exactly what I needed. ”

As he spoke, his eyes showed a look of hope, and he said softly: "If you don't leave, if you can continue to do it, how good it would be!" I use ten years, no! In seven or eight years, you will be able to train you into a qualified Beijing teacher! ”

I was amused by his words, and said with a smile: "Second Uncle Ancestor, don't talk about it so far, just this time, I offended half of the officials of the Beijing Division this time. Second Uncle Ancestor, it's just the same as you! ”

Zhang Juzheng's second uncle laughed, then restrained a little, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that it is not enough for a court to have only one sober person. He looked at me and continued, "Oh! Yes, plus you're two! It's a pity, it's still not enough, it's far from enough! ”

As he spoke, he sighed regretfully, and then cheered up and said, "I called you here today to explain a few things." There was no sadness or joy in the tone, and it was very calm.

I nodded, for the strong, sadness can only be left to the past, and the future should be left to hope. So I pulled myself together and held my head high and said, "Say it! ”

The second uncle took a deep look at me, his eyes were very relieved, and he smiled before continuing: "These few things may not be too easy for you to do, and they are not something that can be achieved overnight!" But, I'm sure you can do it. ”

I snorted and laughed, pouting, "It's too hard, I'm going to cheat!" And to process money! ”

Second Uncle Zu laughed a few times, and then said with a smile: "I haven't been so happy for a long time!" Qilan! The first thing I want you to do......"

He spread out a large scroll on the table, and when I saw it, it was a map of the world!

Second Uncle Zu, what is this going to do? Why scare me with such a macro proposition? I'm just an undergraduate, do you have to scare me with this kind of doctoral dissertation?

I looked at him a little stunned, and the second uncle said with a smile: "First thing, I want you to do everything you can to maintain the separatist situation here!" ”

When I looked down, he pointed to the destination of my next stop, Dongying! How coincidental is it? Is drowsiness a pillow?

The second uncle looked at the map and continued: "Fusang is a murderous person, extremely aggressive, and has a strong desire to occupy. While monitoring the Wako, I've been keeping an eye on the movements of the entire Toei! ”

When I heard this, I secretly said in my heart, the second uncle's international vision is great! What a vision!

I nodded; "Exactly!

The second uncle said with a smile: "It is reliably speculated that once this Dongying is reunified, it will definitely start a war with the outside world due to the influence of various factors!" And the goal is nothing more than these places around! As he spoke, he drew a circle with his right index finger on the Goryeo Peninsula.

I nodded and said very directly, "That's right, this will happen!" I added to myself, "In the near future!" Second uncle, you're right! ”

Hearing me say this, the second uncle raised his head and looked at me with a smile and said, "Last month, it is said that Oda Nobunaga, the leader of the largest separatist force that had high hopes to unify Dongying, was assassinated at Kyoto's Honnoji Temple. Qilan! I know you have some Taoism in Dongying, make the most of it! Be sure to keep Dongying in a state of secession as much as possible! ”

Saying that, he sighed and said, "Because Da Ming can't have one more powerful enemy!" The words were full of exhaustion.

I nodded and didn't speak. The second uncle saw it very accurately, and after his death, the three major campaigns of Wanli led by Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong included the war to resist the Japanese and aid Korea.

Although it finally won the battle after many twists and turns, it exhausted the last trace of vitality of the Ming Dynasty, and was finally replaced by the rising Jurchen Qing forces in the northeast under the attack of internal and external troubles. Therefore, from a historical point of view, the second uncle's concern is very accurate and advanced.

I nodded and said, "I'll do my best!" Actually, I had some preparation before, but ...... But this is still too difficult, after all, it is a war between countries, and my personal strength is too small! ”

Second Uncle Ancestor suddenly raised his voice and said, "No! Your strength is not small! It can even be said that it is very powerful! ”

He stared into my eyes and said with great seriousness, "Trust me! You have the power to change all that! If it weren't for the fact that I was going to die, I really wanted to...... I hope to train you to be my successor! Pity! It's too late! ”

I was silent for a while, and then whispered, "The Oda army is bound to return to chaos, and I will do my best to help the weaker side and try to keep them in the grip, at least ...... At least delay their unification deadline! ”

Second Uncle Ancestor nodded. With my promise, he knew I could do it.

So he continued: "The second thing, I want you to spy on Li Chengliang!" ”

This sentence is said lightly, as if to say, "Let's eat rice at noon".

But I was really shocked in my heart, isn't Li Chengliang the descendant of the second uncle? Why is this going to happen? But I heard him continue: "Look at your expression, you seem to be aware of it, talk about it!" ”

After thinking about it for a while, I said very happily: "I think that according to the current development trend, because of overconfidence and favoritism, Li Chengliang will definitely become a sinner of the country!" I can pack tickets! ”

The second uncle's eyes emitted a sharp divine light, he grabbed my arm hard, and said in a deep voice: "You can also see it? ”

I nodded. He smiled, relaxed his right hand, and said with a smile, "Then I won't explain much." I want you to keep everything as manageable as possible! ...... as a last resort"

Seeing that he was silent, I said lightly: "Don't worry, Second Uncle Ancestor, if necessary, I will definitely not give him a chance to turn over." ”

The second uncle looked at me with a smile and said, "It's a pity that my children can't compare to you!" ”

I shook my head, smiled, and didn't speak.

Second Uncle Ancestor said in a low voice, "As for the third thing...... Qilan, have you ever heard of Venice? ”

I nodded, "Of course I've heard the name of the water city. Right here in Italy. ”

The second uncle said with a smile: "It seems that you have made a lot of preparations in order to go to sea!" I smiled and didn't speak, I couldn't have told him that this was what the geography textbook told me.

Before he continued to speak, he suddenly sighed and said, "This is a private matter. ”

I said, "What you just told me is a private matter. ”

The second uncle looked at me, his eyes were full of tenderness, and after a while, he smiled gently: "You kid! ...... year After Wanqing passed away, I was devastated and drunk day by day. Then one day, I suddenly found that Wanqing had come back to take care of and serve me, and when I was drunk, I ...... with her."

As he spoke, his eyes were full of remorse, and after a while, he continued: "When I woke up, I found that it was not Wanqing, but her sister, Wanting!"

I exhaled and asked understandingly, "And then!" ”

The second uncle ancestor had helplessness in his eyes, and said softly: "They are too similar!" I'm drunk again. But who knows, she actually had our blood and bones later! ”

I shook my head, this bloody plot, the second uncle saw my expression, and smiled: "Who hasn't been young?" I thought, since that's the case, I'll marry her!" Who knows, Wanting is the same as her sister, she is a fierce character. She said I didn't love her, but her sister......"

The second uncle lowered his head and nodded: "Yes, I love Wanqing!" So she left. Following her family, she said that she was going to sea to trade, and it was said that the place was called Venice. I saw it in the atlas of the sea country, how many miles away! And I wanted to go to her, but, you know. Where can I go away! ”

I hummed and asked, "So, Second Uncle Ancestor, what do you want me to do?" ”

The second uncle looked at the wick of the oil lamp and said, "I don't know either." Perhaps, I want you to help me see if the child I have never met is a man or a woman...... This child should be thirty-five or sixteen years old! ”

I was silent, these thirty years, who knows what has changed! It's like looking for a needle in a haystack! I'll try, though! For the entrustment of the second uncle!

So I nodded and said, "I'll do my best to find it when I get there." After finding it...... I'll convince her, or they, to come back and see you! ”

The second uncle's eyes showed a look of great gratitude! After a long time, Fang Cai said: "Then let them put a bouquet of irises in front of my tomb!" Wanqing's favorite is irises...... Child, after I'm gone, you'll take care of yourself. When I see my eldest brother, I'll accompany him. There is also the third brother, so he said that the second brother was ashamed of them! ”

I was silent and nodded.

The second uncle shook his head and waved his hand and said, "Patronizing and arranging things, I forgot to tell you." When the Portuguese came to trade last year, I knew that you were going to go to sea, so I booked five ships with them, which were the most advanced of the sea. Last month their people, the boat has docked in Jakarta. I let it stop there, and it's not good to bring it back, and someone always chews their tongues. ”

As he spoke, he handed me a sign, shining silver, and continued: "It's some small gifts from the second uncle." You can use it! ”

My eyes are a little astringent, although these two uncles don't speak on weekdays, they are always thinking about me in their hearts. Until the end of my life, I still remember my original intention......

The second uncle looked at me, patted me on the shoulder with a smile and said, "The young eagle will always fly by itself one day!" The eagles can only help! "The laughter was very hearty.

I nodded, seeing the tiredness on his face, and knowing that there was nothing else to do, I was about to take my leave. He saluted and turned around, and when he was about to go out, the second uncle suddenly said: "If you have time, let's go and see Hua Mei's child!" ”

I was silent, nodded, and walked out the door.
