After the banquet, besides, sitting alone in the study, his heart fluctuated.

The appearance of Lian Daning squatting under the wall outside Gao Gong's house stung him, and he couldn't forget Lian Daning's huddled as if he wanted to eat.

Lian Daning can also be regarded as a generation of feudal officials, although the official position of the envoy is half a grade lower than that of the political envoy, in fact, the power of the envoy is greater than that of the political envoy, second only to the governor.

There may be a lot of this kind of thing, but he hasn't seen it much, not to mention that Lian Daning is his teacher, no matter how close or far he is with Lian Daning, the teacher-student relationship will always be cut, this is the way of life.

He seems to see himself in the future, himself in a few years or ten or twenty years, will he be like this at that time?

No, if he is unlucky, the ending must be much worse than Lian Daning, Lian Daning is just looking for a way, but he has no way to find it, his way has gone straight to the emperor, and there can be no other way.

What is the purpose of being an official in his life?

Is it just for the honor and wealth of everyday life? But in the end, who can keep laughing until the end, probably no one.

Xu Jie looks a little miserable, in fact, his ending is already very satisfying, he can retire peacefully, and then spend the rest of his time comfortably, which is already a lot of money for an old officialdom who has been playing with power for decades.

On the other hand, I have climbed to the highest peak of my career at a young age, how will I go in the future? The future is long and dangerous.

Lian Daning has a saying that is right, officialdom is to sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and the most difficult thing is to stay in one position for many years. In the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it is really difficult to say how long he can stay.

After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly smiled, what are he doing, sad and sad, what's the use of thinking so much and so far, he hasn't figured out how to spend this hurdle in negotiations outside the Cyprus at the moment.

Lian Daning is up and down in the officialdom, he is even worse than him, he was thrown to the forefront all of a sudden, it seems that he is on the cusp, it is difficult to say whether he will fall to pieces next, and it is extremely difficult to land smoothly.

The official body is not free, this sentence is far more profound than people in the rivers and lakes, and the body is involuntarily.

The next morning, besides, after sparring Daning had breakfast, he went to the yamen.

Soon after arriving at the Yamen, Zhang Jing came and said that he was leading him to make clothes.

"Aren't all the official uniforms complete, and they still need to be done." Besides.

"This time it's not the official uniform, it's the costume that you're going to be an ambassador into. Hurry up, I don't know if I can have time when time is tight. Zhang Whale urged.

"Isn't it just to negotiate, and you need special clothing." Besides, I don't understand.

His current official uniform is already very beautiful, and he will never embarrass the court when he goes to negotiate outside the country after wearing it.

"This is what the Lord of Long Live thought of yesterday, and he specially ordered it this morning, and asked to do it immediately." Zhang Whale didn't tell him much, and took him to a place.

This is a garment factory under Guanglu Temple, specializing in the production of official uniforms and complements for civil and military officials, and the official uniforms received are all from the garners here.

Several officials from Guanglu Temple greeted them, took them into the hall and sat down to drink tea, everyone chatted, but no one talked about business, let alone the matter of negotiation.

"Besides, my lord, this is about to be promoted again, and the emperor specially ordered you to customize your official uniform." A Guanglu Temple official said with a smile.

"The emperor's grace is vast, and the lower officials are also sincerely afraid." Besides, he said in the direction of the palace.

He was indeed sincerely afraid in his heart, the more the emperor was so solemn, the more he felt that the smell of conspiracy was too strong, no matter how he looked at it, it was like he wanted him to sing on stage, and he made a few sets of costumes for him first.

These days, he has been wondering what the emperor and Gao Gong Zhang Juzheng want to achieve with this negotiation? But I couldn't guess at all.

If it is said that it is a strategy to delay the army through negotiation, it will be too child's play, King Altan is also a generation of heroes, much more clever than Emperor Longqing, and supplemented by Zhao Quan, no matter how you look at it, it is stronger than the combination of Emperor Longqing and Gao Gong, plus hundreds of thousands of iron horses. The vast territory, the strength is definitely not much worse than the Ming Empire, to say that the difference is in the system, the Central Plains Dynasty has always evolved a mature and perfect system for thousands of years, and it is indeed not comparable to the Saiwai Grassland Empire.

The king of Altan will definitely not be unguarded against the imperial court's use of delaying the army, whether it is negotiated or not, he will continue to reorganize the army for war, unless the negotiation can achieve a satisfactory result for both sides, otherwise the fire of war will definitely ignite.

When a garment maker brought a piece of fabric, his face turned a little green.

"Boy, you are happy, long live the Lord wants to give you a python robe, and specially asked to order one for you." Zhang Whale smiled.

Besides, it's not happy at all, but it's really a little scared, is this going to be a python robe, but it looks like the fabric of a serious dragon robe, this thing is contraband.

The difference between the python robe and the dragon robe is not only that the python has four claws, the dragon has five claws, and the clothing fabric is also different, but because it is similar, it is easy to be confused from a distance, but if you look closely at a close distance, you can see the difference.

If the python robe is made from the fabric of the dragon robe, it is a reward for the prince, and the python robe specially given by the emperor by the magnates is still lowered by one grid in the fabric.

Several officials of Guanglu Temple squeezed their eyebrows and conveyed their words with their eyes, which probably meant that besides, he was indeed the illegitimate son of the former emperor, otherwise he would not be able to enjoy this treatment.

Others don't know, but the officials of Guanglu Temple know these differences best, and after receiving the will, they began to guess which prince this is to reward, and when they saw it, they were all taken aback, and then thought of those rumors flying all over the city, I didn't believe it, but now I believe it for seven or eight points.

"Boss, this is a bit forbidden, isn't it?" Besides, he smiled bitterly.

"To violate the ban or not to violate the ban, isn't it the emperor's final say? The emperor said that if you don't break the ban, that's normal. According to the ancestral system, the ministers of civil and military affairs are not allowed to wear python robes, and now how many civil and military ministers have python robes, I can't count. Zhang Whale said disapplausively.

"I'll definitely lose my life if I wear this, my lord, let's change into another official uniform."

"This is the emperor's will, who can not obey, and besides, don't be complacent, just reward you for doing things, and you have to hand it in when you come back." Zhang Whale said.

"Oh, that's pretty much it."

Besides, I wiped the sweat on my forehead, it turned out to be a costume, so I will wear it on the stage, anyway, I will take it off and hand it in after the play is over.

If Zhang Whale knew what he was thinking, he would definitely beat him to death, could this prince-level python robe be a costume? Negotiation is the top priority of the country, how can it be said to be a singing opera?

The garment master took out a lot of clothing after measuring the size of the whole body, so that he could choose, saying that he wanted to make a lot of clothes, and the formal dress was a python robe, and he also needed regular clothes and casual clothes, all of which were royal supplies.

"You can do anything, anything, I'm colorblind and can't pick clothes."

Besides, he was completely defeated, he really didn't know what kind of clothes were good for making that kind of clothes, usually Xiao Nier was in charge of these things, he would wear whatever he worn, and after becoming an official, he basically wore official clothes and civilian clothes, and he never made clothes.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Whale directly helped him choose.

After choosing, I followed Zhang Whale out of the gate of the garment factory, and then I felt that the clothes were soaked.

"Sir, do you think you need to go through such a hassle?" Besides, I don't understand.

"Of course you need to, you have to negotiate with those Tatars on behalf of the imperial court, that is, on behalf of the emperor, and to reflect the majesty and dignity of the imperial court." Zhang Whale is colorful.

Besides, he rolled his eyes: "On behalf of the emperor? So if the Tatars detain me, doesn't it mean that the emperor is detained? ”

"Hun boy, what are you talking about, you go out on behalf of the emperor, who dares to detain you? They don't dare to come nonsense. Zhang Whale scolded.

"Don't you dare to come nonsense? Those Tatars eat raw meat and can't do anything. I think the more low-key I am, the more it seems that I am not important in the eyes of the court, and the Tatars may not be holding me hostage. Besides.

"Why do you have a crow's mouth, why can't you think about good things, and you think about being detained and killed every day before you go out. Phew, unlucky. "Zhang Whale was almost crazy by him.

"Consider defeat before you think about everything, have the best hope, and also prepare for the worst." Besides, there are rebukes.

"I just heard a bunch of depressing things from you, and I didn't see any hope for you." Zhang Whale airway.

Besides, Zhang Whale didn't know if he really didn't know the inside story or pretended, Zhang Juzheng swore to ensure his safety, but the emperor gave him three tips to make a contingency plan in case of distress, and he didn't know who to believe now.

The emperor won't lie to him, and Zhang Juzheng shouldn't either, but why is there such a big disagreement? In contrast, it doesn't matter whether Zhang Whale knows the inside story or not.

"By the way, stinky boy, is that caravan you put together in danger?" Zhang Whale asked.

The two walked slowly, and the car and Zhang Whale's big sedan chair followed behind. The pedestrians on the street have long been dispersed.

"There won't be any danger in the caravan, at most it's a desert rogue, and our people can handle it." Besides.

"That's good, I'll take my little nephew with the caravan." Zhang Whale said proudly.

"You're going too?"

"Of course, Long live Lord and some big men in the palace have to buy some of the specialties there, I will go back and think about getting this messenger, and ah, this time the palace has to buy a lot of things, and you have to pay for the silver, the emperor said, how much money you make will not let you hand it over, just pay the money for the things in the palace." Zhang Whale said.

Besides, his face darkened: "No, sir, aren't you going to gnaw my bones and suck my marrow?" ”

"How do you speak, I don't know how much money you can make when you go out this time, but if you give up a little head, your face is not a face and your nose is not a nose, and you are still crying poor?" Zhang Whale's face sank.

"Do I still have to pay for the clothes I just made?" And point behind you.

"That's not necessary, where the Lord rewards you will have to pay."

"That's good."

Besides, he also admitted, this kind of thing can only be agreed to hard, and the emperor is clearly going to slaughter himself.
