Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 245 Feng Hou is not my intention, I hope Hai Bo is flat

"Master Zhang is still hesitating, what's the reason?"

"Could it be that Mr. Zhang looks down on me towards His Majesty?"

Yan Shifan's attack on Zhang Juzheng was both soft and hard: "Excuse me for what Yan said bluntly, Mr. Zhang is now a person walking on the edge of a cliff, and there is a risk of falling from the horse at any time."

"If Mr. Zhang refuses to submit to my emperor, I'm afraid that bad luck will not be far away!"

After persuading him with good words, he put psychological pressure on him. Zhang Juzheng saw a lot of this method, and he used it more. How could he be frightened by Yan Shifan's few words.

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

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

He has seen many storms and waves in his life, Yan Shifan threatened him with words, but he underestimated Zhang Juzheng too much.

"Indeed, Mr. Zhang has many choices."

"The sixteen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty lived together in the same life. There were great talents like Hongwu and Yongle, and there were also benevolent people like Xiaokang, Hongxi, Xuande, and Hongzhi."

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

Yan Shifan's topic changed, and his tone gradually became harsher: "However, can Mr. Zhang survive until the other parties throw olive branches at you?"

"The sixteen dynasties are in the same era, and all dynasties are busy stabilizing the political situation and balancing the internal affairs."

"As far as Yan knows, there are already many people in the Wanli Dynasty who are ready to join forces and force the Emperor Wanli of your dynasty to bestow Master Zhang's death."

"There are many smart people in the world. They can see clearly. With the changing situation, Emperor Wanli may not kill you."

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

After a slight pause of two seconds, his voice became extremely high-pitched and passionate, and he shouted at Zhang Juzheng, "Dare to ask Mr. Zhang, in such a situation of constant crisis, you are somewhat sure 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."

"The only one who can save your life now is me, Emperor Zhengde."

"My emperor is willing to accept Mr. Zhang because he values ​​Mr. Zhang's ability. It is a talent to cherish Mr. Zhang. Otherwise, Mr. Zhang will die if he dies. Who will care about you."

"Master Zhang, please think about it, don't be ignorant of current affairs!"

"Talents come forth in large numbers in the world, and our court has no shortage of talented people. If Mr. Zhang can serve our emperor, it will be the icing on the cake. If he can't, there will be no loss to our court."

Yan Shifan's words were both soft and hard, very blunt, but it made Zhang Juzheng feel as if he had been struck by lightning and enlightened.

Yes, he was about to die, how could he have so many choices.

Emperor Zhengde thought highly of him, but it didn't mean he was qualified to pick and choose. He was far less important to Zhengde Dynasty than he imagined.

With him, Zhengde Dynasty will run as usual, without him, Zhengde Dynasty will not be a little different, he thinks too highly of himself!
"Mr. Yan, go back to rest first, let the old man think about it for a few days, and then give Mr. Yan an answer!"

Zhang Juzheng sighed weakly, with the current situation, he has no choice.

He himself is not afraid of death. He has lived for decades and has never tasted anything. He has long since given up on the world of mortals. The only thing he worries about is his family members.

As long as he thinks that he has devoted himself to Daming for decades, but after his death, he will not live in peace, and his family is almost destroyed, Zhang Juzheng will feel really panicked in his heart.

"Yan will wait for the good news from Mr. Zhang."

Yan Shifan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zhang Juzheng didn't say it clearly, he already understood Zhang Juzheng's intention.

It's done!

As for why he didn't agree to it face to face, it's just the so-called literati's character at work!
The ancients chose the master, and even had to make a show of visiting the thatched cottage, not to mention that Zhang Juzheng was the chief assistant of the cabinet in the Wanli Dynasty. He was poached easily because of his high position and authority.

Jiajing Dynasty

"Ugh"

Just after sending Wen Kailai away, Qi Jiguang hid in the study alone and fell into deep thought, sighing from time to time.

It is a gratifying thing to be recruited by the emperor of the Zhengde Dynasty, at least someone recognizes and appreciates his ability, but that person is not the emperor he is loyal to, so it is very difficult to handle.

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 clearly.

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

creak
The door opened, and Qi Jiguang's wife, Mrs. Wang, came in.

Qi Jiguang has always been afraid of his own tigress, so he quickly collected his mind and asked, "Ma'am, why are you here?"

"You've locked yourself in the study for most of the day, why don't I take a look!"

Wang gave Qi Jiguang a white look and said.

"It's been a long time?"

Qi Jiguang was slightly taken aback, immersed in his thoughts all the time, and didn't notice that time had quietly flown by.

"What happened? Why, I think you have been restless since you sent the envoy of the Zhengde Dynasty away."

Wang asked.

Qi Jiguang was afraid of guilt, but he respected him quite a lot. He didn't hide the truth. Instead, he told Wang that the envoys of the Zhengde Dynasty wanted to win him over.

Although Wang has a hot temper and has the demeanor of a tigress, she is intelligent and often sees world affairs more clearly than Qi Jiguang. With her help for reference and supplementation, there should be no major mistakes.

"what are you thinking?"

After listening to Qi Jiguang's cause and effect, Wang asked Qi Jiguang what he thought.

"I do not know either!"

When asked by Mrs. Wang, Qi Jiguang was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly.

Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli are not considered masters of the Ming Dynasty to him. He has survived the Japanese invasion all his life, guarded the north, and made great military exploits.

The Qi Family Army he founded was a well-known firefighting army in Ming Dynasty. It was not until the Battle of Sarhu that the whole army was wiped out by Yang Gao's scum. To put it bluntly, his contribution to Ming Dynasty would not even be a duke. Too much.

However, the indisputable fact is that no matter how brilliant he and his Qi family army are in battle, he is still the target of suppression by the princes of the court. Today's impeachment and tomorrow's impeachment have never stopped.

The military pay and food can be delayed as long as they can, and if they can’t be delayed, they will be deducted. It is impossible for him to say that he is not disappointed with such an imperial court.

It's just that he has worked for three generations of Zhu Houcong's family for many years, and it's hard for him to make a decision for a while if he wants to switch to serving others.

After all, these days, you have to pay attention to loyalty, filial piety and righteousness in everything you do. If you betray your old master and turn your head to work for others, even if there are 1 reasons, you will inevitably be scolded by people poking your spine.

"What was your first wish?"

When Wang asked again, Qi Jiguang immediately blurted out: "I don't want to be a Marquis, but I hope Haibo will be peaceful!"
