As mentioned earlier, Zhang Juzheng is the current Ming Emperor Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan's attendant lecturer and reader, well, the so-called waiter lecture and reading is to read the scriptures and historical papers for Zhu Zaiyuan. This position is different from Zhu Zaiyuan's real teacher Xu Jie, but it is a bit like a teaching assistant in a previous life.
It is this relationship, coupled with the fact that Shoufu Xu Jie is not only his mentor, but also appreciates him very much. Therefore, before Zhu Zaiyuan ascended the throne, Zhang Juzheng, who was only in charge of the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, was immediately promoted by Zhu Zaiyuan to the left squire of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and let him enter the cabinet to participate in the government. A few months later, he was promoted to the rank of Scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of the Wuyingdian University.
Is there a effort of his own? Naturally, there is no free lunch in this world, even if others are optimistic about you or want to take care of you, you have to rely on your own efforts to find the person who is optimistic and willing to take care of you.
But these are obviously impossible for those people with old qualifications in the imperial court to accept, and what they see is just Zhang Juzheng rushing up. So although Zhang Juzheng has always been careful not to make enemies with others, it is obvious that there are quite a few people who are secretly staring at him.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng must make achievements in a short period of time, as long as there are political achievements, then the past doubts will automatically disappear. The visit of the Japanese envoy is undoubtedly a very good achievement.
Although the Haikou Rebellion was not painful for the Ming Kingdom, it was undoubtedly a very humiliating thing for the Ming Imperial Court. Now that Haikou has basically been eliminated, the number one hero who eliminated Haikou is Qi Jiguang, who is in the same vein as Xu Jie, and is also good friends with Zhang Ju.
If, at such a time, Zhang Juzheng tried his best to promote Japan to be a vassal to the Ming State again, then in the future, Zhang Juzheng's life would become easier. At least, before Xu Jie's resignation, he won't be worried all day long.
Therefore, he had to negotiate everything before the court learned about it. Wouldn't it be beautiful to report it at that time and solve it in minutes? So after waiting for another day, Zhang Juzheng finally couldn't wait.
Huitongkan.
"Huh? Mr. Zhang, you look very haggard, huh? Isn't it ......" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Zhang Juzheng in surprise and asked, then suddenly showed a lewd smile and smiled, "Could it be that you and that Yingying girl...... Hehe, although Master Zhang is still young and strong, he still needs to be moderate......"
"......" Zhang Juzheng looked at Oda Yoshinobu's obscene face, and once again had the idea of arresting this kid and beating him severely. It took a long time for him to regain his composure, and he looked at Oda Yoshinobu and said angrily, "It's ...... under the festival."
As soon as Zhang Juzheng spoke, he was interrupted by Oda Yoshinobu, "Lord Zhang, I think the friendship between us is not so strange, and this is not a formal occasion, why don't you just call me Yoshinobu, and I will call you Brother Zhang~"
Okay, did this kid come to the Ming Dynasty this time to recognize the eldest brother? Why do you have to worship your brother when you meet someone? But think about it carefully, from Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang to now Zhang Juzheng, it seems that this kid is not casually worshipped.
Seeing that Zhang Juzheng did not speak, Oda Yoshinobu hurriedly persuaded again, "Lord Zhang, I heard a saying not long after I first came to your country, which is called life in the world, there are three kinds of friends who are the most trustworthy, that is, those who have read books together, those who have killed enemies together, and those who have visited together...... Ahem! β
Oda Yoshinobu didn't say his last words, but just looked at Zhang Juzheng with a strange smile. That means, how Zhang Juzheng doesn't understand. It's just that...... Shaking his head helplessly, "Okay, since Brother Xian asks for it, then let's do it!" β
Zhang Juzheng sighed helplessly, he suddenly found that he seemed to have thought wrong from the beginning, he always used the logic of a politician to guess Oda Yoshinobu's thoughts, but now he found that the person in front of him was not a politician at all.
"Haha, Brother Zhang!" Oda Yoshinobu laughed when he heard this, and then without waiting for Zhang Juzheng to speak, he said again, "Big brother, how is the matter of this trade?" I've been waiting for so many days, but why hasn't there been any news? β
Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart, "You kid finally asked." "It's just that as soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little painful, because just now, the two of them were called brothers." Does this kid think that if he is a brother, he can take advantage? Zhang Juzheng thought suspiciously. It was only then that after hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, he was relieved.
"Big brother, since we are already brothers, then the younger brother will not hide anything from you. This time the envoy, the rest is easy to discuss, I just ask your country to be able to trade with my family! And it's a long-lasting and stable trade! Oda Yoshinobu looked at Zhang Juzheng and said solemnly.
Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng immediately said, "This is not that this point is non-negotiable, but your country must be a vassal to this dynasty!" This is absolutely non-negotiable. Moreover, your country can only trade in the name of tribute, and of course, the private trade will not be limited to anything in this dynasty. β
After saying that, the two were silent, and it seemed that there was nothing to talk about. Just a short time later, the two suddenly looked up at each other at the same time, looked at each other with strange faces and asked.
"The family?"
"Your country?"
After Zhang Juzheng and Oda Yoshinobu finished speaking, they were silent again, and after a long time, the two suddenly burst into laughter, and did not stop until they were a little out of breath.
"It seems that we all have a misunderstanding." Zhang Juzheng looked at Oda Yoshinobu and smiled.
"Hehe, that's true~" Oda Yoshinobu also looked at Zhang Juzheng and smiled.
"So, let's do it all over again?" Zhang Ju looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a smile and asked.
"I also have this intention, but Brother Zhang, you can say it first~ My little heart can't stand the blow~" Oda Yoshinobu said jokingly, obviously, after the misunderstanding was resolved, the atmosphere became very relaxed.
"It's okay~" Zhang Juzheng responded when he heard this, and then looked at Oda Yoshinobu seriously and said in a deep voice, "If your country wants to resume tributary trade, then the following must be done. First, your country, that is, Japan, must be a vassal to this dynasty! In this way, the tributary trade can be reopened! Second, you must ensure that there are no forces in your country that are secretly financing the pirates, and at the same time take action to ensure the security of the maritime trade routes. As long as these two things can be guaranteed, then I can guarantee that not only will trade reopen, but it will not be a ten-year tribute! β
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu laughed and said, "Haha~ Then it's simple on my side, I only ask that your country not interfere in your country's internal affairs, and at the same time ensure the legitimacy and fair treatment of your country's private trade in your country." β
After the two finished speaking, they were silent again, and after half a ring, the two looked at each other at the same time again, laughed and said, "There is no conflict~"
"Well, then, this matter is decided! I will report to Lord Shousuke, and then he will report to the Holy One. Rest assured, with my many years of experience in politics, there will be no problem in this matter. Zhang Juzheng stood up as he spoke.
Although Xu Jie asked him to get a vote from Oda Yoshinobu at the beginning, and Zhang Juzheng himself had this idea, but now he just wants to get this matter done as soon as possible. Because he can see that this Oda Yoshinobu is exactly the same as those stinky and stubborn military attachΓ©s, if he accidentally provokes him, it is estimated that he will flash directly. If that's the case, Zhang Juzheng will have no place to cry. After all, this is a political achievement that has already been obtained.
It's just that just as Zhang Ju was about to leave, Oda Yoshinobu called out to him, "Big brother, although the younger brother is new to your country, he also knows some rules. As he spoke, Oda Yoshinobu summoned a god of death, and after a few commands, he smiled at Zhang Juzheng again, "Big brother, you wait for a while, you can't let your eldest brother run so many times in vain." β
As he spoke, Oda Yoshinobu took out a cigar and handed it to Zhang Juzheng. Last time, although Zhang Juzheng took it but didn't touch it, but this time, maybe because he was in a good mood, Zhang Juzheng finally learned from Oda Yoshinobu and smoked.
"Ahem, it's choking!" Zhang Juzheng looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a sad face, if it weren't for seeing that he was indeed drawn out casually, Zhang Juzheng wondered if the two of them were smoking different things.
"Haha~ This thing is smoked like this~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled and told Zhang Juzheng how to smoke. Well, it's the way to smoke, Oda Yoshinobu naturally didn't learn how to smoke cigars, so he has been smoking and teaching people according to the method of smoking from his previous life to the present. In his opinion, what difference can there be? Well, it's said that the difference is bigger.
After a while, a Grim Reaper slowly approached with a large wooden box in his hand, placed it on the table, and then retreated.
Opening it casually, Oda Yoshinobu smiled at Zhang Juzheng, who was shocked by this face, and said, "Big brother, here are five thousand taels of gold, which is for you and your mentor Master Xu's tea." As he spoke, he whispered, "This amount is only known to you and me......
Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng took a deep look at Oda Yoshinobu and said meaningfully, "You kid, you understand quite well." β
"Hehe, eldest brother said and laughed, I have always been like this to my own people. Although I don't know your teacher, since I want to trouble his old man, I still have to have a little bit of heart. Yoshinobu Oda chuckled.
"Haha~ Interesting, then don't worry, I will never treat my own people badly!" Zhang Juzheng laughed when he heard this.
