Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's expression changed slightly, Yang Chen hurriedly explained: "Elder Ge forgives the sin, there is no offense for our two brothers to come to visit today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Oh? Really? Zhang Juzheng replied noncommittally, without saying that he believed it, nor did he say that he didn't believe it. He has some trust in Yang Chen, but this Yang Zhen has had a lot of festivals with him in the past few years, and he is completely thanks to him for falling into such a situation, it makes no sense to say that he has no ill will towards him.

Yang Chen also saw this, and was a little speechless for a while. It was Yang Zhen who behaved very relaxed at this time: "Elder Ge thinks I'm here to fall into the well?" Then you underestimate me Yang Zhen too much. ”

"Hmph......" with a slight hum through his nose, the unhappiness on Zhang Juzheng's face only subsided slightly. But since that's all the talk, there's no need to go around in circles, so he asks directly: "In that case, let's tell me what you're here for." ”

"Our two brothers came over this time, one is to see off Zhang Ge Lao, after all, you have a lot of credit with the imperial court, and you are about to leave this time, as Ming officials, we have to show something." Yang Zhen said calmly: "As for the second point, I want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with you, I guess you must be very curious in your heart, why I, Yang Zhen, always have trouble with you." ”

This point also happened to say what Zhang Juzheng was thinking, which made his expression suddenly sober, revealing a deferential appearance.

Indeed, in the past few days, this question has been bothering Zhang Juzheng. Previously, because he was busy with everything, he didn't think about it carefully because of the various things before and after. But in the past two days, after the burden on his shoulders has been lifted, Zhang Juzheng has seen some things.

Whether Yang Zhen was dealing with Feng Bao or being an enemy of the Xu family in Jiangnan, it seemed that he was a passive party, but if you look closely, you will find that he seems to be the one who is in charge of things. In other words, he deliberately made enemies of these people, and if he thought about it more deeply, Zhang Juzheng suddenly realized that the fundamental purpose of his doing this was on his own.

Because both Feng Bao and the Xu family have an extremely close relationship with themselves, once they make any mistakes, what will be weakened is their power in the court, in the people, and the prestige that they have been operating for many years, so they will be greatly reduced.

Such an inference made Zhang Juzheng feel even more strange, and he didn't understand why Yang Zhen had to calculate himself at all costs. You must know that when he and Feng Bao were fighting, they were still at a disadvantage, and they were able to get rid of them by all kinds of chances. And in Jiangnan, he was almost killed by the Xu family, why did he have to take such a risk?

At the beginning, Zhang Juzheng thought that this might be Yang Zhen who was instructed by the little emperor behind his back. But after thinking about it deeply, this judgment was overturned by him. Wanli has not reached such a point of incompatibility with himself, just from this change, it can be seen that he wants to keep his own; Moreover, the little emperor didn't have the scheming to come up with a plan to cut his wings first and then attack the head. In this way, there is only one answer left, everything is Yang Zhen's own decision!

In this way, the question comes back to Yang Zhen - why did he deliberately make enemies of himself so deliberately, even at the cost of taking great risks?

Now, the answer is about to come out, which makes Zhang Juzheng a little nervous, staring at Yang Zhen tightly, waiting for his answer.

"First of all, I want to explain that although I have a close relationship with the Son of Heaven, this incident has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven. That's why I'm doing this, just because you, Zhang Ge, are always my enemy! Yang Zhen looked solemnly at Zhang Juzheng's gaze and said the answer like a declaration.

The muscles on Zhang Ju's cheeks trembled slightly, since the Wanli Dynasty, no one dared to say that he was his enemy in front of him, and this Yang Zhen was the first. At the same time, the curiosity in his heart became even stronger, before that series of events, he had never had much intersection with this person, let alone made a feud with him, so where did this feud come from?

Yang Zhen quickly gave the answer: "Between me and you, it is not a public enmity, but a personal grudge. If you really want to make it clear, it is the personal grudge between your Zhang family and my Yang family! ”

Dare to say that personal grievances are so reasonable, in Zhang Juzheng's opinion, it is still very rare, which makes him feel unconsciously emotional, although some of Yang Zhen's practices are not so bright, but he is still a man.

But then, he frowned again: "The personal grudge between our Zhang family and your Yang family? Could it be that this grudge happened in Gangneung? He thought that the two of them reported their identities as fellow villagers in Jiangling before entering the door just to get closer to each other, but now it seems that there is more to it than that.

Yang Zhen smiled: "Sure enough, Elder Ge, you don't know what happened in Jiangling back then. Saying that, he laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Come to think of it, you are the first assistant who is responsible for the entire Ming Dynasty, how can you know such a trivial matter?" I'm afraid that even those Zhang family members in Jiangling have already forgotten what happened back then. However, I will not forget what happened at the beginning. ”

"Where did my Zhang family offend your brother?" Zhang Juzheng finally knew where the source of the matter was, but his mood did not relax because of this.

Yang Zhen told the story of the Zhang family's crush on the cemetery of the Yang family's father and ancestor from beginning to end, including the fact that they framed Yang Chen, and the fact that he had thrown himself under Jinyiwei in a desperate situation. The only thing that was hidden was the details of Yang Chen's resurrection, which was too appalling and there was no need to say it.

And Zhang Juzheng, after hearing these words, the whole person was stunned on the spot, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He never thought that the root cause of everything was actually planted a few years ago, and it was his family's greed that caused an ordinary family to almost be ruined, which led to his final result. Perhaps, this is called the reason of heaven, and the retribution is unpleasant, right?

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. He even felt that this thing sounded so ridiculous, because of a grudge over the cemetery, the entire court was turned upside down, causing his ally Feng Bao to be demoted to the mausoleum, causing his teacher's family to be ruined, and his reputation ruined......

But this is the truth, even if he is unwilling to accept it, he must face such a fact!

Yang Zhen quietly watched Zhang Juzheng's constantly changing expression, and after seeing him calm down a little, he said: "Actually, if you really talk about it, I still have to thank your Zhang family for doing this." Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to enter Jinyiwei at all, let alone achieve what I am today. However, the debt that your Zhang family owes me will not be offset because of this, so I will use all means to repay the debt! ”

After a pause, he sighed again: "My brother's heart is much more open-minded than mine. Although he was the one who was imprisoned, he didn't mean to die with you, I forced him to help me do a lot of things that were not good for you. ”

Hearing him say this, Yang Chen's face unconsciously showed a trace of shame. He felt ashamed, not because he couldn't stand Zhang Juzheng, but because he felt ashamed of Yang Zhen, indeed, he did too little to deal with Zhang Juzheng. There may be a reason why I can't empathize with the previous ones after changing my soul, but more often than not, it should be selfishness.

But Zhang Juzheng didn't know this, and when he heard this, he just smiled bitterly: "Yang Chen, you are so open-minded, which makes the old man feel admired and ashamed." Ay...... Everything always has a cause, it is my Zhang family who has done the evil before, we really can't blame you. ”

Seeing that he so frankly admitted that he was wrong, Yang Zhen couldn't help but show admiration on his face: "Zhang Ge can think like this, his bearing is indeed very comparable, and he admires it." However, the way of being an official pays attention to self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and then there is a way to govern the country and level the world. If you haven't even been able to do the former, why talk about the latter? ”

Yang Zhen is almost the only one in the world who dares to criticize Zhang Juzheng so bluntly. But in the face of his words, Zhang Juzheng couldn't refute it, and could only reply with a bitter sigh.

He also knew that as his power became heavier, the burden on his shoulders would become heavier, so it was naturally impossible to care about what his relatives in his hometown were doing. And those people, with his name, are naturally not too honest in their hometown, and it is conceivable to do things like bullying men and women. If you really want to talk about it, the responsibility really lies with you, and it is your own failure to think carefully that has caused such a result.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, in addition to the Yang family, the Zhang family must have done many other evil things in Jiangling and Huguang. It's just that those people didn't have Yang Zhen's tenacity and luck, so they couldn't take revenge on themselves or the Zhang family.

After thinking about all this clearly, Zhang Juzheng's original resentment was reduced by more than half. If you have done sin, you have to suffer the consequences of it. Even if he is the head of the court, he is no exception.

After a while, Zhang Juzheng sighed: "It turns out that everything has antecedents, and no matter what, the old man's defeat is not a complaint." It's a pity that it is unknown what will happen to the next variables of this Ming Dynasty. ”

Until this time, Yang Chen, who had been speechless in the face of him, spoke: "Elder Zhang Ge really thinks that what you have done over the years can help this great tomorrow?" Have you ever thought that this will actually only put Daming in a bigger crisis? ”

"Huh?" Zhang Juzheng was obviously stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what the other party meant in his words for a long time, so he could only look fixedly at this subordinate who he had regarded as a cadre before, waiting for him to explain further.
