When the British public Zhang Zhizhi rushed to Jinzhou City in the snow with the holy decree of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Zhang warmly entertained him in the superintendent Yamen.

Although his father-in-law, the British Gong, is a bit snobbish, but after all, he is Ruochen's father, and the relationship between the elders cannot be changed - fortunately, the British Gong is a smart person, far smarter than Emperor Chongzhen's father-in-law Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu.

Dealing with smart people can save a lot of things, at least the British duke will not make some unreasonable demands, and every word he says is well thought out.

After these days of cold watching, Grandpa Guo's mind is alive again, with his decades of experience, the Ming Dynasty has been crumbling, I am afraid it will not last long.

And his uncle Zhang Li, what he is doing now, in his eyes, is simply a copy of Zhao Kuangyin! What a hereditary duke compared to it, it is simply weak. It is true that these words cannot be spoken. If Ruochen gives birth to an heir in the future, wouldn't it be the second ancestor?

Because of this unspeakable mind, the British Duke has always been in a good mood since he came to Jinzhou City—and even had another thought in his heart......

At this moment, in the living room of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, after the extreme greetings between Zhang Zhang and the British public, the topic gradually entered the main topic.

The British Duke first announced the emperor's will, which was nothing more than asking Zhang Zhang to send troops south to enter the customs and destroy Zhang Xianzhong, who was plagued by Shandong. In this regard, Zhang Zhang was noncommittal and did not say a word.

The British Duke is not in a hurry at all, and the matter in Shandong has nothing to do with him to put it bluntly, but what he is most concerned about now is another matter.

The British public saw that tension did not speak. I had to bite the bullet and speak: "Virtuous son-in-law, you have won a series of battles in Liaodong." Now the prestige has been crowned in the world, which is really gratifying. But there's one thing. The old man felt a little ...... Some ......"

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, glanced at the British father, and said, "Grandpa Guo, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

The British public tone was very respectful, and now he did not dare to hold it up in the face of tension. A few tears flashed in his eyes, and he said with emotion: "Virtuous son-in-law, the old man is quite sad in the capital!" Alas, this matter is difficult to explain, and the old man will tell you carefully-"

Zhang Li couldn't help frowning, no matter how bad Britain was. After all, he is his own father-in-law and belongs to his own family, why is he not doing well in the capital?

After a long time of chattering in the British public, Zhang Zhang finally understood what was going on.

Originally, the tension was victorious in and out of the Guan, and the sudden rise of the army made the British public face shine greatly, and the status also rose a lot. However, with the internal political reforms implemented by Zhang Zhang in Liaodong, the direction of public opinion in Beijing gradually changed.

For example, the "Provisional Regulations of the Tuntian Imperial Kou" promulgated by Zhang Li. The landlord class was almost uprooted, and all the land was built into large farms, and there was no longer a "landlord" in Liaodong. This alone touched the bottom limit of the Ming Dynasty's "Gong Gong Princes".

in their ingrained thinking. Tension: This is "risking the world's disapproval"! If Zhang Li does this, I am afraid that he has ill intentions - they don't care about the well-being of the people, they only think that Zhang Li is buying the hearts of the people at the bottom!

And the tension is not greedy for money and bad goods. What kind of person can do such a thing? Hmph, it is in response to the sentence "Wang Mang is humble and not usurped"!

Wang Mang in the late Western Han Dynasty. In fact, he also claimed to be a reformer at the beginning, how similar is the current tension Nair?!

Given the tension, the military strength is strong. So the court didn't say anything on the surface, and there were more gossips behind the scenes.

Therefore, even the days with the extreme bluff of the British are also sad, no one dares to say anything about the tension, but some people take the British public out of anger, and there are many twists and turns in the impeachment of the British public for a while.

Even on the way to the court, a few "assassins" jumped out of the streets, shouting the slogan of "get rid of the national thief" to assassinate him......

The more Zhang Zhang listened, the more angry he became, these sons of bitches often say that it depends on the owner to beat the dog - not that the old man is a "dog", but that the words are ugly and reasonable, straightforward and straightforward, and the truth is such a truth!

Bullying one's father-in-law is slapping oneself in the face!

Besides, the British Duke does have some problems, but that is his own family's business, and he is sure to transform him in the future, but it is not the turn of the hypocrites in the court to abuse him!

Zhang Liteng stood up from the Taishi's chair, walked to the British Duke with an aggrieved face, and said coldly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, from today onwards, if your old man is sick, stay in Jinzhou to recuperate!" Well, my mother-in-law and my son also came to Jinzhou, and they need to take care of you. ”

After a pause, Zhang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued lightly: "I want to see, those hypocrites in the court, who dares to let out a fart?!" ”

The British public was overjoyed, and even promised: "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”

Zhang Li decided to set a tone for the British public, lest this snobbish old man have some out-of-the-ordinary ideas, so he said solemnly: "My father-in-law also knows my temper, you are Ruochen's father, so you are also equivalent to my father." In the territory of the Tuanshan Army, I have already figured out how you will survive. ”

The British public was shocked, and hurriedly pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word - after all, this is related to his family's future life, and I don't know what the tension means?

Zhang Zhang pondered for a moment and said indifferently: "In the future, these things will be abolished, but your family's glory and wealth do not need to be worried." In the future, it will be the era of great navigation, and it will be too outdated to earn the hard-earned money of the people of your own country, and you will have to make foreigners' money in the future. This is the long-term way, presumably my father-in-law also knows, who is the richest person in my Ming Dynasty? It's not a landlord or a gentleman......"

The British duke stumbled and said in a trembling voice: "The richest person in the Ming Dynasty, isn't it that Zheng ...... Zheng Zhilong? Is the virtuous son-in-law saying that our family will be a maritime merchant in the future? ”

Zhang Zhang nodded slightly, refusing to say more.

The British public is overjoyed by the arrangement of tension. After all, no matter how high the status is, for example, the cabinet chief assistant Wen Tiren, flies and dogs for a lifetime, what is it for? Not a silver coin yet? If you can be a merchant and earn foreigners' money, it is much better than guarding some fields and estates.

Zhang Li saw that the old man was very satisfied with his arrangement, so he brought the topic back to Emperor Chongzhen's holy decree: "Grandpa Guo, the emperor's will, in your opinion, how should it be handled?" (To be continued.) )
