The Donglin Party is a big family, deep-rooted, and controls half of the Ming Dynasty, salt, grain, silk, cloth, iron, gold and silver are involved in all aspects, and even taxes will be affected by the Donglin Party, especially the southeast generation, where is the base of the Donglin Party, from the bureaucracy to the wealthy gentlemen, they are inextricably linked.

When Zhang Juzheng served as the first assistant of the cabinet, he increased the intensity of collecting taxes from businessmen, which dealt a blow to the power of the Donglin party, and the Ming Dynasty was strong and the treasury was abundant.

However, later Zhang Juzheng stepped down, the Donglin Party revived, regained control of the situation, and the Ming Dynasty gradually declined.

Although there are also a large number of famous ministers in the Donglin Party, this does not affect the situation, Donglin is strong, the country is strong, and Donglin is weak.

Wei Zhongxian was very surprised, he thought that Zhang Zheng was just a reckless man, but it seemed that he looked down on this person a few points.

He looked at Zhang Zheng with a faint appreciation, and then looked in the direction of the Forbidden City, and said in a deep tone: "It's a pity that Gong Wen Zhonggong did something, and in the end, he cheapened that group of sour old Confucians." ”

The Duke of Wenzhong in his mouth is Zhang Juzheng, but at this time the nickname has been taken away.

Zhang Zheng was silent, and Wei Zhongxian continued: "There is Yang Lian, a minister in the court, I think that it is difficult to move them, but it is a pity that they can protect themselves, but they can't protect others, Jiangnan Bu political envoy Nie Yuan intends to rebel, you take someone to take off his head." ”

"It's a good move. He was terrified, Wei Zhongxian's move directly cut the weakness of the Donglin Party, and lost the support of the Jiangnan generation, and the Donglin Party was rootless.

Wei Zhongxian said again: "This trip to Jiangnan, there are many difficulties and dangers, Nie Yuan's means are not bad, and he has gathered a large number of martial arts masters, can you do it?"

Zhang Zheng hugged his fists and replied: "What Duke Wei wants, even if he goes to the soup and fire, he will definitely take Nie Yuan's head, if not, bring his head to see him." ”

Such an excellent opportunity, of course, he has to give it a go, once he succeeds, he will be a dragon into the sea.

Wei Zhongxian was very satisfied with his answer, turned around and took out a transfer document with a large seal.

"Nie Yuan's head appeared in front of me, you are the envoy of Beizhen. ”

"If you go, you can mobilize the Jinyi Guard forces in Jiangnan with full authority, remember, there is only one chance. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. Zhang Zheng took the paperwork, and his bent face couldn't see what the expression was.

"Let's go. ”

Tightening the transfer clerk in his arms, he went out of the Wei Mansion, took the sword from the guards, and hurried back to the mansion in Dongzhimen non-stop.

At dusk, the sun is setting, and the beautiful woman is looking forward to it in the mansion.

When Lu Wanyue saw him, she put down the embroidery in her hand and swooped over like a cheerful bird.

"Brother Zheng, why are you only coming back now?"

Zhang Zheng's heart was gloomy, and he smiled and tapped the tip of her nose with his hand, and the beauty was shy for a while, pouting and pretending to be dissatisfied.

As night falls, the lights flicker.

After dinner, he called Lu Wanyue to the study, where a pot of carbon was blazing and the heat was rolling.

"Brother Zheng, is there something wrong with you?" Lu Wanyue was intelligent, and there was a hint of unusualness in his demeanor.

"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow and it may be a long time before I come back. ”

She said, "Is it dangerous?"

Zhang Zheng shook his head, he didn't plan to tell her about the killing of Nie Yuan, this matter must be kept secret, once it is known, it will be difficult to make Nie Yuan take precautions.

Although he believed in Lu Wanyue, this matter was very important, so it was better not to say it, so as not to worry her.

"It's good that there is no danger, you can go in peace, I will wait for you at home. "She is like a virtuous wife, saying goodbye to the person she loves.

"This is something I do in my spare time, and I can take it with me to relieve my fatigue. Lu Wanyue took out a red sachet from her arms, the workmanship was very rough, but she made it with her heart, and she never thought she would use it now.

Zhang Zheng's heart ached, and he was reluctant to give up, which made him feel worried for the first time he came to this world.

The most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, he found that he could no longer leave the woman in front of him.

"Don't worry, you can wait at home with peace of mind, pay attention to safety, and don't catch a cold. He forced a smile, put away the sachet, and put the cloak on her side.

This night, the two were not separated, Zhang was guarding the bed, and when she fell asleep peacefully, he kissed lightly on the forehead, and then left without looking back.

In the Jinyi Wei battalion, Shen Lian and forty or fifty Jinyi Wei masters were already waiting.

They are all carefully selected by Xu Xianchun and are absolutely loyal, but Lu Wenzhao is not among them.

Zhang Zheng only planned to bring Shen Lian, and Lu Wenzhao was too deeply implicated to be involved.

As soon as he arrived, all the fifty horsemen changed into civilian clothes, secretly went out of the city from the West City Gate, set off in the starry night, and rushed to Jiangnan.

This trip to Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, the road is steep, and only fifty horsemen want to take off Nie Yuan's head, which is tantamount to taking chestnuts in the fire and pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth. But he had no choice but to do it.

When we come to this era, we must accept everything in this era, including the responsibilities of this era.

What he is pursuing now is more than just living.

Fifty horsemen turned into martial arts people, did not live at the post station along the way, did not wear official uniforms, and even hid the embroidered spring knife, just to cover up their whereabouts to the greatest extent.

They rode war horses, and their foot strength was excellent, and they could run more than 200 miles in one day and one night.

The south belongs to the rear of the Ming Dynasty, has never been affected by the war, and the north is full of wolf smoke, but the south is a happy scene, fertile fields stretch, houses all over.

At this time, the cold winter has just passed, and the early spring is even colder, and the south is not as cold and snowy as the north, which is slightly better.

Seven days later, Zhang Zheng and his entourage stepped into Jiangsu, but it was a rainstorm and the road ahead was difficult, so everyone slowed down.

The spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River is continuous and endless.

In the past few days, the spring rain has become a torrential rain again, and the gray rain curtain has extended far and covered, covering countless mountains.

They had been staying for two days, but the rain still didn't stop at all.

Looking at the rainstorm outside the house, he became inexplicably irritable, the sky was not beautiful, and he was helpless.

The door was pushed open, and Shen Lian walked in, holding a thick cotton coat in his hand.

"Second child, it's cold, add some clothes, and let Nie Yuan live for a few more days for the time being. ”

Shen Lian was the only one in this group of people who knew what he was going to do, and the others only thought that they were going to carry out the task, but they didn't know what the task was.

The irritability in his heart has gone a little, but in the past two days, he has always felt restless, as if something bad is about to happen.

Intuition sometimes saves lives, and he suspects that his group has most likely been exposed.

"Third child, be careful recently, Jiangnan is Nie Yuan's world, we are weak, don't be careless. ”

"Go and explain to the brothers below, so that they can keep their knives on their shoulders and watch out for food. ”

Shen Lian answered, and went downstairs, he leaned on the windowsill, quietly looking at the rain, but his thoughts drifted to the Forbidden City, to the woman.

The next day, the rain still didn't stop, Zhang Zheng couldn't wait any longer, and led everyone to rush in the rain.

The raindrops the size of beans fell on the hats and brown clothes, and the sound was clearly audible.

The war horses roared, rolling up the muddy water, and the mountains and forests were quiet, like fierce beasts that chose people to devour.

An invisible net is opening, who is the fish, who is the fisherman, and who can really laugh at the end.

In this magnificent era, a person is about to set off waves and turn the world upside down.
