Chapter Ninety-Eight: Zhang Juzheng Judges

"Lao Zhou told me about the head, didn't he say that it was a gift for you?" Xiaojun said.

"I'm not sure now." Besides, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"If it's not a gift, it's dangerous, it means that someone wants your head. That's a warning, an analogy. Xiao Jun's face became solemn.

Besides, he sneered: "There are more people who want my head, haven't they tried it once or twice, isn't my head still growing on my neck now?" ”

Xiaojun smiled: "That's right, it's a miracle that you're still alive now, and I sometimes can't figure out how you can still be alive." ”

"What do you mean by that, looking forward to my death." Besides, I don't like it.

"No, after so many assassinations, you really have to die with nine lives, and it's unbelievable that you haven't lost a single hair."

Besides, shrugging his shoulders, in fact, even he himself came back to life in a daze, and every assassination he encountered would definitely kill him, but he just didn't die. He himself doubted that he was an immortal.

"Okay, without telling you more, I have to go. When you want to come out, tell Lao Zhou, and I'll take you to transfer at any time. After Xiaojun finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared.

Besides, just a flower in his eyes, a big living person in front of him was gone, it was almost like a trick, and he knew that he didn't know enough about Xiaojun.

Speaking of becoming a living person, he suddenly remembered the mask given to him by the little girl of Jiu Niang, and he didn't have time to try it yet.

He took out the mask from his sleeve, it looked like it was just a film, he didn't know if Jiu Niang was joking with him, saying that it was made of human skin, but it was indeed soft and smooth to the touch, if it was really human skin, which part was it?

He couldn't help but reverie, and it took a long time for him to wake up.

What's wrong with me, it's just not normal today, he realizes it himself.

He was in Luo Zheng's lounge, that is, his bedroom, which was relatively secluded and hidden, and he found a dressing mirror.

He carefully studied the film on his hand, the position of the three holes should be two eyes and a mouth, but shouldn't this mask be painted with something, it looks like a person, but there is nothing.

He put the mask on his face, aligned it with the position, and pressed it everywhere to make the skin fit the skin better, and then, he was stunned, and a complete stranger appeared in the mirror, not him, nor anyone he had ever seen, he looked at himself in the mirror carefully, and even he couldn't tell that it was a masked face.

It's really ingenious, and I don't know how Jiu Niang did it, but this mask seems to have a kind of magic, when you don't wear it, it's ordinary, and you can't even tell that it's a mask, once you put it on, the magic power is released, and the whole person's temperament is changed.

Good stuff.

Although he didn't want to pretend to be someone else, and he didn't want to use this method to escape, he thought it was funny, and he would go home with a mask one day to see if anyone in the family would recognize him.

He couldn't help but smile at the thought of this.

"Sir, are you asleep?" Someone shouted outside.

"No, come in." Besides, he put away his mask, walked outside, and closed the door to the lounge.

"My lord, there is an urgent letter from you." A man handed him a letter.

Besides, look at the envelope, there is no handwriting on either side, you can't see who gave him the letter, and after opening it, he took out the letterhead, and there was only one line on it: Besides, you are dead!

Besides, he was surprised: "Who sent this?" ”

"It was delivered by the guy who came to collect the food box, saying that a customer in his store asked him to hand it over. Is there something wrong? ”

"Nope." Then he shook his head and stuffed the letter into his boot.

Zhang Juzheng was shocked when he saw the letter sent by Zhou Dingcheng, he didn't know what happened to Jinyiwei.

After he retired from the court today, he did not go to the Yamen, but went directly to his home and studied many matters after the opening of the sea ban with his staff behind closed doors, such as the selection of open ports, how to manage them, and how to protect the garrison.

It was only in the letter that he learned about the attack on Jinyiwei outside the city, and only then did he know that Jinyiwei's people were investigating the attack on the way to Beijing.

As for the latter, he didn't know why the emperor did this, but for the former, he was immediately sure that it was a crazy counterattack by those forces who opposed the opening of the sea ban.

In doing so, they were warning the imperial court that they had power not only in the coast, but also in the capital, and the warning was only the beginning.

Zhang Juzheng was furious: "Are they going to openly rebel?" ”

The staff didn't know what was going on, Zhang Juzheng just wanted someone to go to Jinyiwei to come and inquire about the situation, and Liu Shouyou's letter also arrived. In the letter, Liu Shouyou reported what happened in detail, but unfortunately, Liu Shouyou didn't know much, so Zhang Juzheng still couldn't understand what happened to Jinyiwei who went out to investigate.

As for what happened between Liu Shouyou and the situation, Zhang Juzheng smiled and passed, he believed that Liu Shouyou was a person, and he should really be joking with the situation, but it was a little bigger, and it made the situation anxious, this is just a trivial matter, just reconcile them one day.

Zhang Juzheng immediately told his staff about these things, and then continued to study this issue and how to deal with the crazy counterattack of the opposition forces.

"My lord, this is a strategy to kill two birds with one stone, one is to warn the court, and the other is to frame Guo Yunming, as if these things are related to him. Isn't it the first person to propose the opening of the sea ban? Naturally, it is the object of hatred of those opposing forces. A staff member said.

"Well, your point of view is very good, the analysis is very accurate, write it down, tomorrow I will write to the emperor, this point of view will be written." Zhang Juzheng said.

He didn't know at this time that the emperor was already suspicious, and he found the national teacher at night to make a fortune, if this matter was known by the civil officials, he would have to scold the emperor for not asking the common people to ask the ghosts and gods.

"Could it be that some pirates or pirates have come ashore and sneaked into the vicinity of the capital?" One of the staff members was shocked.

"Not necessarily, there are many outlaws near the capital, as long as they are willing to spend money, they can always hire some rogues who want money and don't want their lives, not necessarily pirates." One of the staff objected.

"I don't know what happened now, but there should be accurate information tomorrow, and I'll talk about it then." Zhang Juzheng said.

"My lord, Yunming was appointed by the emperor to build a new brocade guard this time, and was given the task of fighting independently, is it to prepare for the opening of the sea ban?" A staff member asked.

"It's hard to say, it's not good for me to openly meddle in the affairs of Jinyiwei, Yunming's affairs, I asked the emperor for someone twice openly and secretly, and wanted Yunming to withdraw from Jinyiwei, but unfortunately the emperor always talked about him left and right, and didn't give me a specific answer." Zhang Juzheng said this, and smiled bitterly.

Today, he and Gao Gong discussed privately that they would enter the palace to meet the emperor, and then ask for their release in person. For some reason, the emperor did not agree to their request for an audience, but earnestly entrusted them to study a series of things after the opening of the sea ban, and they had to return in vain.

"I always feel that Yunming has little to do with this matter, but Qi Shuai's training in Jizhen may be a preparation for this, Qi Shuai has made a name for himself in Fujian, and the people there have already built a shrine for him." A staff member.

When Qi Jiguang was the chief military officer of Fujian, he made outstanding achievements in encircling and suppressing the Japanese invaders, but he was also jealous and persecuted by some people in the court, or Zhang Juzheng was afraid that he would be framed outside, so he studied with the emperor and the military department, and transferred Qi Jiguang to Jizhen for military training, also to protect Qi Jiguang.

This incident was done by Zhang Juzheng, so he can be sure that Qi Jiguang's matter has nothing to do with the opening of the sea ban.

Another staff member said: "I think Yun Ming has a very big connection with the opening of the sea ban, Yun Ming is the first person to make this suggestion, of course he has a complete set of ideas." If the emperor decides to open the sea ban, is there a more suitable executor than Yunming? ”

"What you said is a bit absolute, there are many capable people around the emperor, so you don't necessarily have to use him." One of the staff retorted.

"There are capable people, but it is difficult to find a special person, and I think Yunming is a special person. What he is building now is not a brand-new brocade guard, but in this name, to build a powerful guard. The task of this team is to protect Yunming on the coast from being swallowed by pirates, pirates or some big forces along the coast, as long as they can resist, Lord Tan Lun will lead troops to rescue. The staff member continued. It is quite a wordless and endless, and this sentence really shocked the others speechless.

"No, even if you let Yunming go, you can live in Lord Tan's governor's yamen, and no one can hurt him. Why go to such great lengths to build a guard? No way. Someone objected.

"How is it impossible, Yunming can't stay in the governor's yamen all the time, at that time, there must be some entertainment or something, or inspect a place, if the emperor wants to send him, it is to set him up as a figure like Qi Shuai, and he can't be a turtle with a shrunken head, but what kind of place is Fujian? The pirates often come ashore to harass, and the smugglers in every village are eight or nine times out of ten, for Yun Ming, who advocates the opening of the sea ban, it is the enemy at all times, and our Beijing army has great control over the vicinity of the capital, and the people of the Jinyi Guard are attacked outside the city, not to mention that Tan Lun's control over Fujian is less than one-tenth of that of the Beijing army, and anything can happen. The man just now said with a heartfelt voice.

"That's right, but doesn't that put Yoon-myung to death? It is impossible for the emperor to treat the children of meritorious heroes like this. Some people shook their heads in disbelief.

Zhang Juzheng was drinking tea, listening to the discussions of the staff, and his heart seemed to clear some fog, and he suddenly realized what the emperor wanted to do, that is, to let him go and defend the port that was to be opened.

He jerked back, nearly knocking his chair over.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Several staff members looked at him in surprise.

"It's okay, it's just too hard to push back." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.

"My lord, it seems that this chair is not strong enough."

"That's it, find someone to bring a Taishi chair for the adult, or sit on a short couch."

Several staff members diligently shouted to change Zhang Juzheng's seat, Zhang Juzheng smiled on the surface, but his heart was full of waves.

Yun Ming is in danger.
