Chapter 127: Zhang Siwei's Crisis (2nd Update)
Wang Shizhen went home and stayed awake all night, he admitted that Chen Mo's shocking words had some truth, but he didn't believe that Chen Mo could do it, and he couldn't imagine what the world would be like if Chen Mo could really realize his ambitions.
Chen Mo also had no sleep all night, this was the first time he revealed his true thoughts to the people of this era, he trusted Wang Shizhen very much, for no reason. But this doesn't mean that he is not worried, in fact, after calming down, he began to worry about whether Wang Shizhen would betray him.
His remarks, as long as a little bit of the news spread, would be a catastrophe for him, more serious than the discovery of the secret of his body.
But he didn't regret it, and even had a sense of relief.
has been holding back for too long, and always needs an outlet to vent, and what he said to Wang Shizhen is the goal he set for himself by combining the knowledge of later generations and the observations he has made since he traveled. He was determined to follow this goal, so sooner or later the world would know all this. It's just that what he hoped for at first was subtle, and now, there is just one more person in the know.
I hope Wang Shizhen can be trusted, but it really can't be done, and there is only one way to deny it.
The silent night always makes those who have something to worry sleepless.
is also sleepless, as well as the master of ceremonies and the palm seal Zhang Hong.
Looking at the old man in front of him wearing a cyan sticker, he asked slowly: "What happened to tonight's night banquet, which made you break the rules and come to our house late at night?" ”
The old man was dressed as a eunuch, and the collar of his cloak was poked high, just to cover the beard on his chin tightly, and he was very excited when he heard this. While unbuttoning his cloak and putting it on the back of the chair, he said, "Yin Gong guess." ”
Zhang Hong is obviously very familiar with the old man. He smiled and said, "I'm old." Still playing this kind of trick? Let's talk about it. ”
The old man laughed, stopped for a while, stopped selling Guan Zi, and said: "Chen Mo promised in public that he would solve Zhang Ge Lao within two months. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Hong was stunned, his face was shocked, and he asked, "Could it be that he also thought of our method?" ”
The old man shook his head: "I don't know, but look at his confident appearance." It seems that I already have a complete certainty. ”
"You came to our house, did you want to change your plans? Let's think about it, yes, you want to speed up? ”
"It's easy to talk to smart people!" The old man smiled and stretched out his thumb to Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong also smiled, noncommittal to the old man's compliment, and said slowly: "There are two advantages to this, first, you can get rid of Zhang Siwei as soon as possible. Second. can even deliberately show the horse's feet and blame Chen Mo. However, that Chen Mo was very smart, and Feng Bao's old fox was behind him. It's easy to reveal your identity. ”
"We know, but the stakes are greater. The higher the return, the more we think we can gamble. ”
"Looks like you've made up your mind? So what are you doing with us? Zhang Hong asked. But there is no displeasure.
The old man said, "I have made up my mind, but." If there is no Yin Gong's approval, we still have no bottom in our hearts after all, and we came at night, but I hope Yin Gong will give us a reassurance! ”
"Now that you've decided, let's do it! Just remember that after the deed is done, no one who knows about this plan will be left behind. ”
The old man's expression was solemn, he was silent for a moment, the cold light in his eyes flashed, and he nodded heavily.
Zhang Siwei is a little irritable these days, not only because of Zhang Whale, but also because of the news from his hometown that his father's condition has worsened, and there is a great possibility of death. This is like a bolt from the blue for him at a critical moment.
His father's name was Zhang Yunling, and he was the largest salt merchant in Shanxi. Without Zhang Yunling's strong financial support, he would not have the status of the first assistant today.
In fact, as early as a year ago, Zhang Yunling had a stroke, but fortunately, the famous doctor Li Shizhen happened to pass by Shanxi, and invited him to Zhang's mansion with a lot of money.
However, after all, there are still sequelae, half of the body can't move without speaking, even the brain is affected, the reaction is slow, and the addition and subtraction within a hundred will be counted for half a day, and it is not guaranteed to be correct.
But that was already the best result, as long as he didn't die, Zhang Siwei could continue to be an official in the court, for him, who had already become the second assistant of the cabinet at that time, it was tantamount to the blessing of the sky and escaped a catastrophe.
In fact, God is indeed very kind to him, not long after Zhang Yunling escaped from the disaster, Zhang Juzheng became ill, and soon died, and the long-awaited position of first assistant finally fell into his hands.
When Li Shizhen left Zhangfu, he once asked, according to Li Shizhen, once a stroke patient is rescued, as long as he takes care of it in the future, there will be no problem in living for ten or twenty years. This gave him reason to believe that the future was immeasurable - not to mention the first assistant in 20 years, just like Zhang Juzheng, after ten years of being the first assistant, he could roughly realize his ambitions, right?
Therefore, when someone from his hometown came and said that Zhang Yunling was seriously ill again, he could hardly believe his ears. The first thing to do after fixing the god is to find Li Shizhen, but unfortunately the whereabouts of the divine doctor are uncertain, and it is not easy to find it immediately.
It's just that even if you can't find Li Shizhen, you still have to face the things you have to face. After searching in many ways, he finally found another Liu Yanqing, who is said to be very good at treating stroke, under the introduction of Zhang Whale. Zhang Whale is a political ally and can naturally be trusted. hurriedly sent someone to invite Liu Yanqing from Xuanfu to Zhang's Mansion, and after some conditioning, Zhang Yunling's condition was really controlled.
But even so, after all, Liu Yanqing can't restore Zhang Yunling to the previous level like Li Shizhen, according to the family's report, he only said that although the old family owner can open his eyes, he can't move, he can't speak, and he may go west at any time.
It's like a sword hanging over his head, and it could fall at any moment.
He even prepared that once the sword fell, he would learn from Zhang Juzheng as he did in his year and seek to "win love", but he asked himself that it was not as important as Zhang Juzheng's identity at that time, and he really didn't have hope for this "love".
If you can't "win the love", you can only go home honestly and "worry" on the way, the court is turbulent, and after three years of leaving, who knows what will happen? I can't say it, I'm afraid that all these years of forbearance and hard work will be in vain.
Thinking of this, his face suddenly twitched, and his mouth felt like chewing a bitter gourd raw.
"Back to the master, the governor of Dongchang advocated a public visit, I don't know ......?" The butler came in and replied.
His body shook, and he straightened up from his chair: "Please, no, this official will greet you personally." As he spoke, he hurried out the door.
Zhang Whale was wearing a azure robe, wearing a square scarf, standing in the back door garden with his back hand, admiring the almond blossoms that had bloomed with great interest.
"The factory is here, and the officials are far away, forgive the sins!" Zhang Siwei had already taken in his emotions, and bowed down from afar. When Feng Bao was in charge of the East Factory, the ministers had to kneel every time they saw it, and the ministers were no exception, and it had become an unwritten rule for many years. However, Zhang Siwei's self-respecting identity is just a bow.
Zhang Whale was surprised, turned around to greet him, walked in front of Zhang Siwei, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, our family has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I have come to ask the elder for advice!" (To be continued......)
