1023 first meeting

After everyone returned to the duty room, they didn't have the heart to work, and finally stayed up until the hour and then dispersed. If you calculate carefully, these elders spend more time writing private messages and looking at the sky in a daze than they spend dealing with official business!

When Zhang Juzheng returned home, he naturally wanted to see him first, so that he could arrange some things. But what surprised him was that You Qi was not in the mansion! And he only left one sentence, saying that someone in the palace was looking for him!

Zhang Juzheng didn't even have to think about it, he knew who would look for You Qi in the palace! It can only be someone sent by Zhang Jia! After all, how the cabinet and the new eunuch Bingbi cooperate, where their bottom lines are, and other things, the two sides must always contact in advance.

And to Zhang Juzheng's surprise, Zhang Jia actually sent someone to contact him. That's a gesture of goodwill! You must know that the celebrant is close to the emperor. It has an innate advantage. If the celebrant does not approve the cabinet's recital, although Zhang Juzheng and the others still achieve their goals, the internal friction will be very serious, and it will take more effort.

However, since there is already news, Zhang Juzheng naturally has the patience to wait. To his surprise, You Qi came back very early, much earlier than he expected.

After the master and servant met in the study, without Zhang Juzheng asking You Qi, he said, "Master, the person who came out of the palace this time is called Zhang Wen. It seems that he is doing confidential things for Zhang Banban, and I haven't heard much of him before. But he did go out of the palace to talk to the old slave for Zhang Ban's companion."

Zhang Juzheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "It seems that this Zhang Companion still has some city government. Where did you meet?"

You Qi knew that Zhang Juzheng was asking this because he wanted to weigh Zhang Jia's weight! If they just met in a restaurant, I am afraid that Zhang Juzheng would behave unsteadily, and he would inevitably look down on him. So You Qi said with a smile: "This Zhang Companion is a very stable person, and he has a straight house outside. It's not big, just a small yard with two entrances. It's right inside Matou Lane. We met there. Moreover, Zhang Wen said that in the future, he will keep two eunuchs there, and any news and letters can be sent directly to the palace." Look at the book

Zhang Juzheng nodded in approval when he heard this, it seems that this future internal minister is still very reliable. And he didn't ask for details, he knew that You Qi would make it clear to him the same.

Then You Qi really briefly explained the process of meeting Zhang Wen, and then said, "This father-in-law Zhang is very strict-mouthed, and he is also very safe, so he can't say anything. However, he expressed several meanings to the old slave. The first meaning is that there may be some changes in the palace in the near future, so that the master has a psychological preparation. The old slave thinks that some people may be unlucky!"

Zhang Juzheng nodded in approval. Because in his opinion, the matter of a son of heaven and a courtier is normal. This is not only the case in the court, but also in the harem! The new ruler cleans up the people under his hands. Promoting the lineage and accepting the people who take refuge is also what it should mean.

So Zhang Juzheng didn't care about this matter, he just asked, "So did he say anything about government affairs?"

People who have reached Zhang Juzheng's status generally do not promise anything easily, and their words are quite vague. Just to avoid being caught! So he didn't expect Zhang Jia to leave him any clear statement directly!

And sure enough. Speaking of this question, You Qi frowned and said, "Zhang Wen was very cautious in this regard, and didn't say anything more. In the end, there are only four words left, that is, national affairs are the most important."

Zhang Juzheng frowned when he heard this! These four words can be described as attacking and retreating! The recital that was transferred to the celebrant was approved, which can be said to be a national affair! The two sides have different opinions, and the celebrant does not give the performance of this batch of red, which can also be said to be a national matter! Even if it's to give you that blockage and not approve the red, those eunuchs can find countless reasons to say that this is also a state matter!.

Although this was expected, Zhang Juzheng was still a little disappointed. After all, he and Feng Bao have cooperated for many years, and it is really smooth! Now the sudden substitution is really uncomfortable for him.

At this time, You Qi continued: "Master, the old slave and Zhang Wen have been talking for a long time, and I feel that the four words he said, 'national affairs are important', we should go to the better side

to understanding!"

Zhang Juzheng was surprised when he heard this, "Why do you think so? Did he tell you anything?"

You Qi shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything specifically, and he didn't promise anything. However, Father-in-law Zhang specifically mentioned one thing at the time, he said that Zhang Companion was quite impressed by the master's ability to govern. He also praised the old man and said, 'If you can check the hidden fields and hidden households, and make the treasury rich, you can't do it if you are not powerful!' "He also said that Zhang Banban once said that in the past two years, it has been low-cost salt, and it has been a trouble, and bandits from all over the country have been making trouble everywhere, and it is not easy to calm down, and it is better to be quiet and not move at this time!"

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he immediately understood what Zhang Jia hinted at, that is, it must be based on stabilizing national affairs, and will not take the initiative to provoke disputes, and the two sides can run in on the existing basis! Moreover, it can be ensured that there will be no obstacles in the general direction of Zhang Juzheng's administration.

Zhang Juzheng was very happy to hear this! I can't help but have a good impression of this Zhang companion who usually has no contact! Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "It seems that Zhang Banban is also a person with a big heart! In the future, you will strive to walk around with Zhang Wen more, and if you have the opportunity, the old man will contact him when Zhang Wen leaves the palace."

You Qi naturally nodded and agreed. However, Zhang Juzheng looked at him and stopped talking, so he asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Could he have said something else?"

You Qi bowed his head slightly, staggered Zhang Juzheng's eyes and said, "Master, when the two of us were separated in the end, Grandpa Zhang also said a word, which sounded like he said it unintentionally, as if he was just emotional. But the old slave thinks that he should want the old slave to tell the master."

Zhang Juzheng knows that some words may be handed over inadvertently, if you can understand it, you will understand it, and if you can't understand it, you can't blame others if you make mistakes in the future! So he said seriously, "What did he say?"

You Qi said word by word: "When Gonggong Zhang finally talked about His Majesty, he said with emotion: 'Long live Lord now has two sons and three daughters!'" 」

Zhang Juzheng's face immediately turned red when he heard this, and then slowly calmed down! Because he understands very well that this sentence was specially said to him, and it is definitely the top priority in Zhang Wen and You Qi's conversation! Because the meaning of this sentence is very simple, that is, the emperor has reached adulthood, and he wants to exercise the rights of the emperor!
