"Lord Zhang is still hesitating, what is the reason?"

"Could it be that Lord Zhang doesn't look down on my majesty."

Yan Shifan faced Zhang Juzheng with a burst of soft and hard output: "With all due respect to Yan's bluntness, Master Zhang is now a person walking on the edge of the cliff, and there is a risk of falling off the horse at any time." ”

"If Lord Zhang refuses to surrender to my emperor, I am afraid that bad luck is not far away!"

After persuading him with good words, he exerted psychological pressure on him, Zhang Juzheng has seen a lot of this method, and he uses it more, how can he be frightened by Yan Shifan's words.

"Even if the old man wants to find another backer, he doesn't necessarily have to take refuge in the Zhengde Dynasty."

Zhang Juzheng pretended to be determined, and there was no panic on his face.

He has seen a lot of winds and waves in his life, Yan Shifan threatened him with words, but he underestimated him Zhang Juzheng.

"Indeed, Master Zhang has many choices."

"The sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty are in the same life, there are eloquent talents such as Hongwu, Yongle, and benevolent temperaments such as Xiaokang, Hongxi, Xuande, Hongzhi ......"

"With Lord Zhang's ability, as long as he is willing to lower his figure, no emperor is willing to let go of a talent like Lord Zhang."

Yan Shifan's words changed, and his tone gradually became sharper: "However, can Master Zhang hold out until the other parties throw an olive branch at you?" ”

"The sixteen dynasties are in the same era, and each dynasty is busy stabilizing the political situation and balancing the interior."

"And as far as Yan knows, there are already many people in the Wanli Dynasty who are ready to join forces and force the Wanli Emperor of the Gui Dynasty to give Lord Zhang to death."

"There are a lot of smart people in the world, they can see clearly, as the situation changes, Emperor Wanli may not kill you."

"So they will definitely get rid of you before Emperor Wanli really makes up his mind."

After a slight pause of two seconds, his voice had become extremely high-pitched and excited, and he shouted at Zhang Juzheng and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Zhang, in this situation of crisis step by step, how sure are you that you can survive." ”

"The civil and military officials of the Wanli Dynasty want you to die, and the other dynasties are too busy to take care of themselves."

"Now the only one who can save your life is His Majesty Emperor Chaozhengde."

"My emperor is willing to accept Lord Zhang, that is to value Lord Zhang's ability, cherish Lord Zhang is a talent, otherwise Lord Zhang will die if he dies, who will care about you."

"Please think about it more, don't be ignorant of current affairs!"

"There are many talents in the world, and there is no shortage of capable people in our dynasty, and Lord Zhang can serve my emperor, which is the icing on the cake, if not, there is no loss to our dynasty."

Yan Shifan's words were carried with a gun and a stick, both soft and hard, which was very polite, but it made Zhang Juzheng feel like he had been struck by lightning and was empowered.

Yes, he is about to die, where did he come from so many choices.

Emperor Zhengde looks up to him, it doesn't mean that he is qualified to pick and choose, he is far less important to the Zhengde Dynasty than he imagined.

With him, the Zhengde Dynasty will operate as usual, without him, the Zhengde Dynasty will not have a trace of abnormality, he thinks too highly of himself!

"Yan Gongzi will go back and rest first, let the old man think about it for a few days, and then give Yan Gongzi an answer!"

Zhang Juzheng sighed weakly, the situation is like this, he has no choice.

He himself is not afraid of death, he has lived for decades, he has never tasted anything, he has long stopped thinking about the red dust of the world, and the only thing he worries about is his own family scroll.

As long as he thinks that he has worked hard for Daming for decades, but after his death, he will not be able to live in peace, and his family will be almost ruined, Zhang Juzheng's heart is really panicked.

Yan waited for the good news from Master Zhang.

Yan Shifan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although Zhang Juzheng did not say it explicitly, he already understood Zhang Juzheng's intentions.

And it came to pass!

As for why he didn't agree to come down in person, it's just the so-called literati who are doing it!

The ancients chose the master, and they still had to make a drama of looking at the thatched house, not to mention that Zhang Juzheng was still the first assistant of the cabinet of the Wanli Dynasty, and he was in a high position, so he was easily poached, and Zhang Juzheng's reputation was not good.

......

Jiajing Dynasty

"Alas......"

As soon as Zhengde Chaolai sent Wen Kailai away, Qi Jiguang hid in the study alone and fell into deep thought, sighing from time to time.

Being recruited by the emperor of the Zhengde Dynasty is certainly a gratifying thing, at least there are still people who recognize and appreciate his ability, but that person is not the emperor he is loyal to, which is very difficult to do.

The most important thing is that he is not sure about the fact that the envoys of the Zhengde Dynasty came to see him, whether the current emperor knows about it, if the emperor knows, the matter will be troublesome, and the explanation cannot be explained.

When it comes to the seriousness of suspicion, Jiajing Zhu Houxi is one of the best among the emperors of the old Zhu family.

creak

The door opened, and Qi Jiguang's wife, Wang, walked in.

Qi Jiguang has always been afraid of his tigress, so he hurriedly collected his mind and asked, "Madam, why are you here?" ”

"You've locked yourself in your study for most of the day, can I not come and take a look!"

Wang glanced at Qi Jiguang and said.

"It's been a long time?"

Qi Jiguang was slightly stunned, he had been immersed in thinking, and he didn't notice that time had quietly flown by.

"What's going on, why do I see that after you sent the envoy of the Zhengde Dynasty away, you have been restless."

Wang asked.

Qi Jiguang was afraid of guilt, but he respected him a lot, and did not hide the truth, but told the Wang family about the Zhengde courtier's desire to win him over.

Although Wang has a hot temper and is very tigress-like, she has a smart mind and often understands the world better than Qi Jiguang.

"What do you think?"

After listening to Qi Jiguang's explanation of the cause and effect, Wang asked Qi Jiguang's thoughts.

"I don't know!"

Being asked by the Wang family, Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, for him are not considered the master, he has been peaceful in his life, has guarded the north, and has made great achievements in war, and has shocked the world.

The Qi family army he founded was a well-known firefighting army in the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until the Battle of Salhu that Yang Hao's scum was wiped out, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his contribution to the Ming Dynasty is to make him a duke.

However, it is an indisputable fact that no matter how brilliant his military exploits with his Qi family are, he is the target of suppression by the court, and today's impeachment and tomorrow's impeachment have never been broken.

The military salary, grain and grass can be delayed, and if it can't be delayed, it will be deducted, and it is impossible for him to say that he is not disappointed with such a court.

It's just that he has worked hard for three generations of Zhu Houxi's family for many years, and asked him to turn to serve others, and for a while, he really couldn't make a decision.

After all, in these years, you have to pay attention to loyalty, filial piety and righteousness in everything you do, deviate from the old master, and turn your head to sell your life to others, even if there are 10,000 reasons, it is inevitable that you will be scolded by others.

"What was your original wish?"

Wang asked again, and Qi Jiguang immediately blurted out: "It's not my intention to seal the marquis, I hope Hai Boping is peaceful!" ”
