Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost.

Self-denial, cautiousness, being bound by rules all day long, what kind of hero.

Zhang Ju is very particular about enjoyment, wearing must be the best silk, lying must be a good sandalwood bed, after the death of his wife, there is no shortage of stunning beauties around him, as for eating, it is even more particular.

For example, a small bowl in front of you, but the size of a fist, but if you want to fill it, you need at least more than 100 chickens, the reason is very simple, each chicken only uses a small piece of tongue, make up a bowl of chicken tongue soup, don't you want hundreds?

Zhang Juzheng sat upright at the table, parting his long hair with a clip, and slowly tasting the chicken tongue soup, but his mind kept thinking about the situation in front of him.

Speaking of which, when Tang Shen was taking the exam back then, he also acted as a counselor, and watched the Tang family's father and son rise step by step.

At present, Tang Shen came to the top, and the governor of Fujian worked for seven years, seven years, which is the time when Fujian has developed the fastest since the founding of the country, Fujian has many mountains and few fields, and has the habit of going to the South Seas since ancient times.

Not to mention anything else, just the academies and schools that are blooming everywhere show the abundant financial resources of Fujian.

A father and son, even if they don't count the strength of other people, are definitely not easy to mess with.

However, Zhang Juzheng is full of confidence, he has followed Xu Jie's fifteen years, always figuring out the contest between Yan and Xu's two masters, and when it comes to power and strategy, Zhang Juzheng asks himself if he is not under the teacher, and he is sure that even if the opponent is the powerful Tang Yi, he is sure.

Most of the bowl of chicken tongue soup was in the stomach, full of energy, his subordinates withdrew, Zhang Juzheng looked in the mirror again, carefully checked it, and made sure that it was meticulous, before he took a big stride and left the mansion, he got on the sedan chair and went straight to the cabinet, but instead of going to see the teacher, he went to visit the university scholar Yan Ne.

There was still some way from Xiyuan, and suddenly there was a shouting sound on the street, and the sedan chair couldn't help but slow down, and finally couldn't walk at all.

Zhang Juzheng's face sank, he is now a bachelor of Hanlin, one of Xiao Jiuqing, and a lecturer of King Yu, and he can be regarded as the number one person, who is so rampant that he dares to stand in his way.

Lifting the sedan curtain, the housekeeper You Qi hurriedly ran over.

"Back to my lord, someone sells newspapers!"

Zhang Juzheng was stunned, he had heard of the newspaper, this thing was still made by Tang Yi, initially because after the opening of the sea, the business was prosperous, in the past, the ticket number of the major money banks was to understand the market, negotiate business, send people to the street every day to collect news, and after summarizing, write letters to everywhere, inform their own people, and grasp the market changes.

Only the big money bank ticket number has this financial resources, ordinary commercial banks are not good at all, and no matter how big the money bank is, the manpower is limited, and the information is often inaccurate and incomplete, and it suffers a lot of losses.

Tang Yi hired people to observe the wind in the name of the city's shipping department, summarized the news, and named it "Southeast Business Copy", which was very popular with merchants. From the simple publication of price information, it has gradually developed into advertising, as well as anecdotes and entertainment news.

Later, literati also joined in, using newspapers to disseminate articles, poems and songs.

In recent years, there have been as many as 20 kinds of newspapers in the southeast, and officials who have gone to the south to run errands often come back with thick stacks of papers, which has aroused the curiosity of many Beijing officials, and Zhang Juzheng has also read quite a lot.

It's just that the atmosphere in the capital is relatively conservative, and it is the first time that a newspaper has appeared.

It can't be an old newspaper from the Southeast, right?

Zhang Juzheng was curious, and asked You Qi to buy one and come back. You Qi agreed, squeezed into the crowd, and it took a long time before he squeezed out of the crowd, and his hat was almost gone.

"Master, please look."

Zhang Juzheng took it, glanced at it, and suddenly his face changed wildly.

"Thirty years of conquest, the first general in the southeast!"

The title of the Douda is written below the record of the mission to the Ryukyus.

This is a young man named Luo Wanhua wrote, he is a native of Shangyu, Jiangxi, in the last year, to the southeast to study, coincided with Yu Dayou's fleet to go to sea to kill the Japanese invaders, and to open a route to the Ryukyus, the Ming Dynasty needs to send a messenger to go, Luo Wanhua took the initiative to ask Ying, with the fleet to go to sea.

After a few months of sailing, Luo Wanhua ate and lived with sailors and soldiers, and once personally killed two Japanese invaders, and after more than two months of sailing, he arrived at Ryukyu, where he visited the king of the Ryukyus, and together with Yu Dayou, thwarted a Japanese invasion and received royal courtesy.

After negotiations, the Ryukyu royal family agreed to divide a port within a three-mile radius to the Ming Dynasty as a port for trade, and to set up warehouses for trade.

Luo Wanhua's experience is very legendary in the eyes of readers, and he wrote more than 20,000 words on the way back to China.

In addition to describing the scenery of the sea and exotic customs, Yu Dayou is the most inked.

From the old general's determination to resist the Japanese when he was young, until the rebuilding of the naval division, the defeat of the Japanese invaders, Luo Wanhua enthusiastically praised the Ming Dynasty's naval division, the ship is strong and the guns are sharp, the largest warship is fully equipped with sixty-four guns, with three decks, like the Great Wall on the sea, the cannon fire is in unison, two or three hundred zhang away, you can hit the enemy ship.

In the impression of the old and young masters in the capital, the war is still like a storytelling, and a general is sent on both sides......

Luo Wanhua depicted war scenes that they had never imagined, with the newsboy shouting at the top of his lungs, and a bag of newspapers was sold out in an instant.

Carrying a full load of copper, the newsboy ran to the printing workshop, and hurried to line up again, waiting for the printed newspaper.

The newsboy was busy making money, and the people who read the newspaper kept admiring, and the names of Luo Wanhua and Yu Dayou were deeply rooted in their minds. Zhang Ju is a prodigy and has the ability to never forget.

He read a mere newspaper quickly, and he was interested in the strange things at sea, but he had no time to care about them at the moment.

Zhang Juzheng was only full of doubts, why did a newspaper pop up at this time to praise Yu Dayou?

With such a coincidence, what is it all about?

"Did you make a move?" In front of Zhang Juzheng's eyes, a handsome and chic figure flashed, and he reacted really quickly, "Come on, let's fight!" ”

Zhang Juzheng is strong when he encounters the strong, his fighting spirit is surging, carrying the newspaper, all the way to Xiyuan, entering the cabinet, the university scholar Yan Ne is in the room, stuffy head, facing the green rattan paper, wrinkling his eyebrows and glaring.

It's time for Qingming, Jiajing wants to worship the heavens and worship the gods, burn incense and worship Jiao, and green words are indispensable.

Writing green words in the Hanlin Academy, when I arrived at the Ministry of Rites, I still wrote green words, and when I entered the cabinet, I still wrote green words, except for being respected as a strict pavilion elder, there is no difference.

Yan Ne, with the bitter virtue of a baby's heart, suddenly raised his head and saw Zhang Juzheng.

"Why are you here?" He felt a little rude, so he hurriedly changed his tone, "I mean Master Zhang is so busy, how can he be free to come to me?" ”

"When I'm willing to come!"

Yan Ne is only two subjects earlier than Zhang Juzheng, and he also treats Xu Jie's disciple as a disciple, Zhang Ju is Xu Jie's descendant disciple, and obviously has no respect for him, the prime minister of Qingzi.

took out the newspaper from his arms and threw it in front of Yan Ne.

"Let's see."

Yan Ne took it and looked at it carefully, and after a while, his face was red and white, and his fingers trembled unconsciously.

"With this bit of guts, he is also worthy of being in charge of the cabinet, what a person who has lost his scholars!" Zhang Juzheng despised Yan Ne more and more, but he still had to use Yan Ne, so it was not good to be too presumptuous.

"Elder Yan Ge, that one has already made a move."

"I can see it." Yan Ne's face changed color, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help complaining: "Uncle brother, I said at the beginning, don't touch Yu Dayou, he is a veteran with outstanding achievements, how can he be good now?" ”

Excuse me, there is no way to deal with it, why did I cooperate with you?

It's useless for Zhang Juzheng to complain, he is a bachelor of Hanlin, and it is still too difficult to command the Quartet, and the teacher Xu Jie doesn't want to fall out with Tang Yi, Zhang Juzheng can only use Yan Ne to pull the banner as a tiger skin.

Why is Yan Ne willing to mix?

The key is in the former Zhejiang patrol Wang Bengu, Wang Bengu is a subject later than Yan Ne, after the entrance examination, he is waiting for the assignment of official positions, and got acquainted with Yan Ne, it just so happened that Yan Ne's wife died in childbirth a year ago, and Wang Bengu married his sister to Yan Ne.

A few years ago, because of the surrender of Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, Wang Bengu, Tang Yi and Hu Zongxian had a quarrel, but Tang Yi took the opportunity to release Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, and put the blame on Wang Bengu.

Jiajing was furious, locked Wang Bengu in the capital, asked a person who was incompetent, and derelict in his duties, and the family was assigned to Liaodong.

Wang Bengu was furious, and not long after, he fell ill and died in a foreign land, and he couldn't even return to his hometown for burial.

Yan Ne was just a little Hanlin at the time, he couldn't stand up for his eldest brother, and Tang Yi and Xu Jie didn't fall out at that time, he could only hide his hatred deep in his heart.

For this matter, he was scolded by his daughter-in-law I don't know how many times, and he lost face.

After many years, he finally got to the cabinet, and he forgot about it, but Zhang Juzheng suddenly found him, chatted heartily, and mentioned the past. asked him if he wanted revenge, after entering the cabinet, Yan Ne also swelled up, feeling that he was a character, of course he had ideas, but he didn't have enough brains and didn't know how to make a move.

Zhang Juzheng pointed out a clear way for him, directly attacking a highly meritorious Da Jiuqing, the risk is too high, no matter how many crimes, with Hu Zongxian's merits, at most he will lose his official position and be dismissed. For Yan Ne, it is already very good to be able to do this, but Zhang Juzheng can't do it, he still wants to burn Tang Yi, and the only way to completely destroy Hu Zongxian is to completely destroy it.

He only gave Yan Ne a suggestion, starting from Yu Dayou, the old general is famous, and he has a grudge against Hu Zongxian, as long as he is willing to act as a witness, Hu Zongxian will not be able to escape, and he will be able to open up the old things in the southeast.

The plan is very good, but I mistook Yu Dayou's character, other people may fall into the ground, Yu Dayou values love and righteousness, cut off his head, and will not bite Hu Zongxian back.

"It's all your bad idea, now Yu Dayou has become a hero and a loyal minister, and the treacherous word has been pasted on our heads!" Yan Ne cried and mourned, at a loss.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A scholar from the middle school came to Yan Ne's ear and whispered: "Master, Tang Butang has entered Beijing!" (To be continued.) )
