I'm really not doing business

Chapter 491 Zhang Juzheng cheated him, and Zhang Juzheng still wanted to say thank you

The "Great Edict" was a severe punishment law when the dynasty was first established. The clauses in it were too harsh. If implemented, the backlash would be too strong. A law that is not widely recognized is just a piece of paper. However, Zhang Juzheng passed the test and became a law. The melon vines sit together, and the strength is just right.

No matter what kind of system is used to manage people, people's hearts will always calculate gains and losses.

Scholars are not fools. If the law of examination is really as useless as they say, if the law of examination is really too hasty and too harsh, then the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty should have died at the first glance and become a stagnant water, like Qingzhang. Being able to complete things as scheduled is already a reflection of extremely efficient administration.

"The stubborn diseases and rigidity of the officialdom have been alleviated in Zhang Juzheng's hands. It can be said that he has been rejuvenated by a wonderful hand. Do you think that our official factories, factories and engineering corps can fight against Zhang Juzheng?" Wang Chonggu returned to the end of the problem. start.

"I can't fight, I can't fight at all." Wang Qian realized how terrifying Zhang Juzheng was. As Zhang Juzheng's old opponent, Wang Chonggu understood Zhang Juzheng.

The kind that can't be played without talking about the facts, and there is no point in fighting.

If you can't fight, just join. This is not a shameful thing. It's called a hero who knows the current affairs!

"Then let's talk about bloat. In fact, bloat cannot be ruled out by law." Wang Chonggu sighed and said: "Bloat is divided into many parts, appeasement of nepotism is one type, redundant staff is another type, empty wages is another type, and there is structure. "

"Tolerate nepotism, Tan Lun scolded me at the beginning, even the dogs at home were sent to the capital to eat imperial food. What he scolded was wrong. It is true that the list in the original letter was all from Jin, but they were not all incompetent, Ma Fang , Ma Fang's sons, Ma Gui, and Ma Jin are all useful talents, but he is right in scolding them. They are all appeasing nepotism, and it goes without saying that appeasement can be broken by passing the examination. "

"Father mentioned the word bloated, is there a good solution?" Wang Qian was keenly aware that there was something in Wang Chonggu's words!
Zhang Juzheng could cure rigidity, but could his father, the Minister of Punishment, cure bloat?

Although Wang Qian provided the black information, Wang Qian really couldn't do these things.

Whoever has used it knows the benefits of the Holy Family.

In the future, Chunqiu will judge whether his father can be a hero of the ZTE?

"Sir, it's time to rest." You Qi dimmed the lime blowtorch a little, and said a little guiltily. He, a big butler, took charge of the gentleman's head.

The Holy Family thing is really easy to use! What kind of scolding did Wang Chonggu get before? As soon as His Majesty took action, the momentum of criticism against Wang Chonggu immediately subsided.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be solved. Anyway, it's always been like this." Wang Chonggu still hesitated. He just wanted to live a stable life with his official factory regiment, engineer regiment camp, farmland distribution, and third-level school.

"The three classes in our big counties in the Ming Dynasty have five thousand, and the three classes in the small counties have three thousand government officials. If we don't raise so many, we can't collect taxes. If we raise so many, the local government can only think of ways to pass the exam, and it can't solve the problem. This question."

"Where is the original?" Zhu Yijun first asked the original, which was the one written by Wang Chonggu. He wanted to determine whether the entire memorial was written by Zhang Juzheng or Wang Chonggu. Nothing else. He just wanted to see if Wang Chonggu was really loyal to the emperor and the country. .

Wang Chonggu stopped. It was really what Wang Qian said. Zhang Juzheng had cheated Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng had to thank Wang Chonggu.

Before lunch, the emperor summoned Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu to the study room of Tonghe Palace, and also asked Zhang Hong to prepare more bowls and chopsticks.

You Qi grabbed the lime blowtorch and said, "Sir, there is a will."

Don't be too demanding of good people and be too tolerant of bad people.

"It's over-praised, it's over-praised!" Wang Chonggu originally planned to keep quiet and pretend to be an expert, but with the words "Economical State and Economic Development", Wang Chonggu's self-cultivation skills were immediately broken. He quickly answered humbly, not showing the slightest sign of his just entering the door. The butt looks unruly.

"Dad, will Jiangling Guild take the credit for dad's work?" Wang Qian looked at this posture and asked a little anxiously.

Zhang Juzheng got up early the next day, and could only rush to the Wenhua Palace with the annotated memorial. After the court meeting, Zhang Juzheng began to copy it and sent it to the Imperial Study Room.

Wang Chonggu's eyes lit up, and then he immediately shook his head and said: "Forget it, if you set him up, I still want to live a few more years."

"There are only a few clerks, tutors, etc. in each prefecture and county who work, and the rest are paid to support themselves. Taking Pucheng as an example, the six rooms in our hometown have a total of One hundred and forty people receive salary, and there are only 17 staff members on duty. How do these 17 staff members feel when they see that others can receive salary even if they don’t do anything?”

Who can bear it after just two days of rest and being scolded again?

"No, I won't set him up, I'll go directly to him!" Wang Chonggu stood up and said to Wang Qian: "You are still of some use. For people like Zhang Juzheng, there is no need to set him up, just give him the memorial. ”

Zhang Juzheng bowed and said, "I would like to thank Ci Fu for his teachings. It was really enlightening and enlightening."

Zhang Juzheng's biggest problem is that he has no experience in fighting against thieves. In some cases, a frontal breakthrough would cause too much noise and shake up the country, but it would be much easier to do it in a roundabout way.

"Father is still smarter!" Wang Qian's eyes lit up. The credit belongs to his family, the old Wang family, and Zhang Juzheng is responsible for all the dirty work and infamy!
Wang Chonggu went to the Quanchu Guild Hall without exchanging pleasantries. He directly placed "The Four Diseases of Bloat" in front of Zhang Juzheng. In the span of a cup of tea, Zhang Juzheng finished reading Wang Chonggu's memorial.

The emperor gave You Qi a test score, which was divided into many aspects such as exercise, diet, daily life, hygiene, etc. If you did well, you would be rewarded, and if you did poorly, you would be punished. The rewards were extremely generous, and the punishments were extremely severe. There was also a person named Luo Sigong. He is the Tielin Junxunwei of the Quanchu Guild Hall and is also responsible for the second record.

The test method is not a panacea for the management of officials. It is good once you take it. It will work a hundred times. Some stubborn diseases cannot be eradicated. However, Wang Chonggu still said that this is a unique medicine. If it can be used, it is excellent.

Wang Chonggu rubbed his brow with his hand and said: "I have some ideas, but I am hesitant."

"Dad, Holy Family!" Wang Qian raised his eyebrows and pushed the teacup forward.

"There are also some yamen that have long been no longer necessary, but they have been established for many years. Their only function is to provide for idle people."

Wang Qian said in a low voice: "Let's let Duke Jiangling handle the civil affairs. He sets traps for us every day, so let's set traps for him too. Dad, even if Duke Jiangling knows it's a trap, he will still get in. Yang Dazai Didn’t you say that at that time? Duke Jiangling, a gentleman can be deceived."

Wang Chonggu shook his head with a smile and said: "No, not only will he not be greedy for credit, but he will write it down in detail. There will be no less of our holy family members."

Zhang Juzheng looked at the "Four Bloated Diseases" in front of him, opened it again and read it for a long time. After carefully annotating it, he was ready to copy it.

Luo Sigong only listened to the emperor's words.

"No, no, no, it's all for His Majesty's sake and to cheer up the country. Tutor will stay, stay." Wang Chonggu did not expect Zhang Juzheng to be so grand.

"Just forget it?" Wang Qian asked a little disappointed.

"Okay! Okay!" Zhang Juzheng slapped the table and stood up. He put the memorial in his sleeve and said, "Wang Cifu is indeed a talented person who can help the country and the country!"

"Then I won't stay any longer, and the memorial will be left to Yuan Fu." Wang Chonggu stood up without explanation and chose to leave.

"I know, I know." Wang Chonggu waved his hands repeatedly. This son was really upset. Of course he knew the benefits of the Holy Family very well, but if he sent the written "Swollen Four Diseases" to the study room of Tonghe Palace, The job fell to him.

"Doesn't it mean that we let him get scolded and he still has to thank us?" Wang Qian said with a strange expression.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the dim light and said with some dissatisfaction: "Am I the gentleman, or are you the gentleman? Twist the highlights, I want to copy."

"Hey, sleep, sleep." Zhang Juzheng knew this very well.

"His Majesty said, if sir stays up late, you can take it as a culprit from me."

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit. The promotion list that Tan Lun got stuck in the letter of Wang Chonggu, Governor of Jingying, is a knot that cannot be untied.

Zhu Yijun didn't believe Wang Chonggu. Wang Chonggu himself knew this matter a long time ago than anyone else. Wang Chonggu also recognized that people always have to pay for their mistakes.

"Wang Cifu is indeed a talented person who can help the country." Zhu Yijun finished reading the original text, looked at Wang Chonggu and said with a smile on his face: "Sit down, we can discuss it after dinner."

"I am extremely frightened." This is Wang Chonggu's first time dining in Tonghe Palace. The only high-ranking officials with this kind of treatment are Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang. Now he, Wang Chonggu, is sitting here upright and knows how many bowls of rice the emperor eats.

Four dishes, a soup, a bowl of rice, and a light cake. Although the taste of the light cake has been improved several times, it has absolutely nothing to do with the fine food.

This is still Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu, otherwise two dishes would have to be removed. This is the fact that Li Yashi wrote in his travel notes. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was like an ascetic. This was true in visible places and also in invisible places.

The recipes are set by the queen, and they change regularly. They are not fixed, but they are all the emperor's favorite food.

Frugality is a virtue. One of the light cakes Zhu Yijun ate can suffice for half the day for frontline soldiers. If they fall behind or are besieged, four or five of them will be enough to escape danger.

"No matter how you look at these methods, there is something wrong." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu's original copy and Zhang Juzheng's copy. The content was the same, but Zhang Juzheng added some details based on his own experience in government administration. The main idea was Wang Chonggu's.

It must be Zhang Juzheng who is responsible for the execution, and he will bear the blame and be scolded.

It is not convenient for Wang Chonggu to stretch his hand too far. Wang Chonggu does have the holy family and the credit.

"This and this, Your Majesty, I can only say that they are all anti-thief tactics." Wang Chonggu chose to tell the truth.

It’s strange that it feels right!
The entire method given by Wang Chonggu revolves around the method of 'densification'.

Is this a dense thing that Zhang Juzheng, who has traveled on the great road, can think of? !
"The word "secret" is the most important. If you don't keep it secret, you will lose your ministers. If you don't keep it secret, your ministers will lose their virginity. How can you not be afraid? Wherever there is confidentiality, the word "secret" is the most important. Therefore, it is specially sealed with fire paint and sent to the pond. When you arrive in Beijing, you will be sent directly to the emperor." Wang Chonggu explained the secret method in detail.

After sealing it with fire paint, Tangbao entered the capital. It did not follow the original route of delivery, but was sent directly to the capital from the post station Tangbao. The content of this memorial is about the construction of the word "mi".

Wang Chonggu tilted his head, looked to one side, and whispered: "It's embarrassing to say that this is the method I used when I communicated with the people of Jin." What kind of communication requires such secrecy? Naturally, it involves communicating with each other, lying about military information, giving and receiving privately, even smuggling gunpowder and arrows, reselling prohibited things, etc. Needless to say?
It was a little quiet in the imperial study room. Zhu Yijun coughed and said, "There is no need to mention the past. Since the 190,000 refugees in Xuanda University under the Second Auxiliary System, we will not pursue the past. This secret method will make everyone panic. What does Wang Cifu think?"

The introduction of this kind of secret reporting system will definitely make everyone tremble and be in danger. Wu Zetian has done this kind of thing before. It is said in history: She sent notes to the prince day and night, and those who came to the capital from all over the world passed secret messages to them, saying something profound. There may be accidents or untruths.

"Your Majesty, when the emperor listens to government affairs, he must do things without violating the rules." Wang Chonggu said with a solemn face and his voice was very low.

This sentence comes from "Shao Gong Admonishes King Li to Eliminate Slander". King Zhou Li did not listen to the advice and was eventually exiled by his countrymen. It means: the king must consider the choice and implement it. In this way, the country's political affairs can be carried out without A journey that goes against the Dao.

Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered the poem: The water that capsizes a boat is the tears of the people, and you don’t know it until it flows horizontally.

If the secret system is established, then this sentence will not be true, because the king of tears of the common people will definitely know it.

"To put it more clearly, if Your Majesty hadn't stood like the sun in the middle of the sky, this density would have been a disaster for the world. This is a tool, just like a hoe in the hands of a farmer. It can cultivate the land, and it can also fight fiercely. This density , It depends on how your Majesty uses it." Wang Chonggu made it clear that it is better to explain this kind of conspiracy clearly.

In Wang Chonggu's system design, at the beginning of the design, only governors from various places and those who were loyal to the emperor and the country, such as Hou Yuzhao and Zhou Liangyin, were eligible to go to the secret box. The fire paint on the secret box and the secret box must be intact. Otherwise, the subordinates will be held accountable, and they will go directly to the imperial palace instead of going through the General Affairs Department and Wenyuan Pavilion.

Slowly and broadly speaking, the most you can reach is the prefect level. There is no need to go down further, and there is no point in going down any further.

"If it cannot be kept secret, it is better not to report it. The affairs of the country and the dynasty are complicated, and it is inconvenient to disclose them to the public. Your Majesty has an edict. All secret edicts must not be communicated by edict. They are not allowed to be conveyed to a single person. They cannot be spoken to more than six ears. If you want to issue them, When Zhang Wenyuan Pavilion and the Six Ministries know about it, the names of Zhu Pi and those who reported it must be deleted. Officials are not allowed to inquire about each other, they are not allowed to quote it, and they are not allowed to publish it. Those who report it are not allowed to report it again, and anyone who publishes it and leaks it will be killed." Wang Chonggu explained in detail the system design of Xia Mi Shu. .

This set of methods requires both bottom-up and top-down confidentiality. Your Majesty’s confidentiality work here must be done well. The principle is that it should not be made public if it cannot be made public. If it must be made public, the red mark will be blackened. After adding the name, the ceremonial supervisor will give the eunuch a copy and copy the next chapter.

"Wang Cifu is really experienced!" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu with murderous intent in his heart.

Wang Chonggu is so experienced, does it mean that he is still using this method? The murderous intention is fleeting, Wang Chonggu is really still using it, why is he reporting to the emperor? Anyway, Zhang Juzheng has no experience in fighting against thieves, so no one will tell His Majesty about such a treasonous thing.

Wang Chonggu felt a chill on the back of his neck, and a chill rushed from his tailbone to his forehead, and he shivered. But looking at His Majesty's sunny smile, he felt that he was probably cold, so he shivered.

This sunny smile looks very cheerful and very confusing.

However, Zhang Juzheng saw the appearance of the killing line from His Majesty's fleeting expression. Wang Chonggu did not dare to stare at the emperor, but Zhang Juzheng did not have such concerns.

Is Your Majesty a good person? To most people in the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty is a wise king, but not a good person. What kind of emperor can a good person be?
Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu was a good man. He spared Zhu Qizhen’s life in the Golden Knife Case. Zhu Qizhen repaid Emperor Jing’s kindness by seizing the door. Zhu Qiyu himself, together with Conglong Zhi, who supported Zhu Qiyu as emperor, The ministers, Yu Qian, Wang Wen, Fan Guang, etc. all met a miserable end.

Good people don't live long, and good people can't be emperors.

A minister like Wang Chonggu must be careful and vigilant when using him, and cannot relax for a moment. Any indulgence will lead to disaster, which is also a bad thing for Wang Chonggu. He will not remain famous in history, but will be infamy for thousands of years.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Wang Chonggu asked tentatively as he elaborated on his thoughts about density.

Zhu Yijun asked very seriously: "If you are the governor-general and carry out my instructions without hesitation, you will inevitably usurp the powers of the six ministries, break the balance of the bureaucratic system, and cause political turmoil. Wouldn't it be endless trouble?"

Wang Chonggu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the most important thing about secret is the word "secret". The king is secret, and the ministers are also secret. The governor holding the secret seal indicates that he has the holy will and can ask for the imperial edict. It does not mean that he can get the holy will. If we implement it directly, wouldn’t it be a mess?”

"Your Majesty, as a minister, what you fear most is to misunderstand the Holy Will. With Your Majesty's instructions, you have nothing to fear."

Speculating on the holy will may be the biggest worry of a minister in his life. What does the emperor mean? He guesses again and again, and finally guesses wrong. One mistake will lead to eternal hatred. With this secret that will never be made public, the bottom of the heart can reach the top. No more obstacles.

"It's like me writing a letter to Qi Shuai?" Zhu Yijun suddenly found a corresponding example.

Wang Chonggu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty will write to Qi Shuai?"

Wang Chonggu really didn't know that such a thing existed. He only found out how many bowls of rice His Majesty ate today.

"I do know that there is a letter. As for what is written, I dare not eavesdrop on it." Zhang Juzheng confirmed the existence of the letter, but he knew nothing about the content.

Zhu Yijun hurriedly explained: "Ah, I just wanted to talk about something about the capital. I was afraid that Qi Shuai would worry about his hometown, so I kept talking about it. I have never commanded frontline operations, where to station, how to attack, etc. I have no knowledge of military affairs. Qi Shuai The victory on the front line is due to the bravery of the elite troops in the Beijing camp and the skillful command of Qi Shuai. "

The Ming Dynasty was resistant to the emperor's direct command of operations. The Tumu Fortress Incident in Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, taught too many lessons.

However, the Ming Dynasty had no objection to the emperor's sword pointing. The emperor still needed to set an overall goal. Legas once asserted in his travel notes that if his majesty pointed his sword at Toledo and Madrid, the Templars and Pingbo warriors would definitely defeat them. Wherever the sword points, even if it is far away in Taixi.

"There are also differences between letters and secret letters." Wang Chonggu explained the difference in detail. The biggest difference is that secret letters are independent of the process. They are a communication channel between the emperor and local governors and frontier officials. They are more formal than private letters. , and has a certain administrative effect. The content is not to communicate feelings, but to communicate state affairs.

Zhu Yijun asked again: "What if it is a false accusation? For example, the governor of Liaodong, Yu Zhao, falsely accused Ningyuan Marquis Li Chengliang of rebelling, and used the system of secrets to exclude dissidents, unite the party and attack those who are different, and promote culture and military affairs?"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty must make your own judgment on this." Wang Chonggu said straightforwardly. The secret system was completely dependent on the emperor's sage. If the emperor was deceived by his ministers, or by the ministers he trusted, it was natural that he was not trusted. people.

"I never worry about this problem." Zhang Juzheng added that he has full confidence in His Majesty.

If your majesty can ask this question, you will not be deceived. Your majesty has a deep-rooted prejudice against civil servants. It is a knot that can never be untied. Your majesty can tell the difference after hearing it from the governors and governors of various places.

Density can solve the four problems of bloat. Local governors dispatch officials, and they patrol the place with the left and right ministers and the left and right deputy censors. These governors are like a knife inserted by the imperial court in the local area, but when this knife reaches the place, it is not certain. If I want to abolish some useless yamen and free-paying worms, will I get the support of the capital, especially the emperor?

If you get the holy will, you can start the memorial. Not every governor has the power to act expediently, and it is not appropriate to act lightly. This is the reason why Pan Jixun and Qi Jiguang did not meet in Suiyuan this time.

Zhang Juzheng said: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, but when manpower is limited, there will be things that cannot be fulfilled in this chapter, and there will also be things that cannot be decided for a while, so I will go back and forth in the secret memorial."

This is the method of using secrets added by Zhang Juzheng. The emperor is a human being, not a god. If you have to make a mythical emperor, you must enshrine the emperor in the nine heavens and usurp the power of the Lord.

It is not convenient for Your Majesty to say some words in the imperial edict, and sometimes there are things that cannot be decided. How should one decide whether a decree is suitable for the place? It is necessary to discuss and discuss among the secrets, and expand the original function of the secrets to an important means for the monarch and his ministers to discuss political affairs, and to consult the local governor's opinions on major decisions.

Even if it is an anti-thief method, Zhang Juzheng can still find a way out of it. Even as time goes by, the main function of the secret will become a special channel for soliciting opinions.

You can't go far by just relying on conspiracy and trickery, nor can you get far.

Wang Chonggu looked around and whispered: "The most despicable method of your Majesty's contempt for Confucianism is to double the number. To destroy a government order, you only need to double the execution and cause public resentment and rebellion."

"If you want to use dense spacing to be ineffective, doubling it is most effective. If you don't use dense spacing for important affairs of the state, ordinary affairs, trivial matters, or even for greetings, it will be very annoying and no longer dense. If there are any signs of this, they should be admonished, suspended from the secret report, reprimanded, dismissed from office, or even imprisoned to prevent the consequences."

"Ordinary admonitions are enough to make ministers tremble with fear."

If the trouble reaches the point of "blocking the special line", the local governor and prefect should worry about their own heads. They have clearly defined the range of density and asked An to use this channel. Then don't blame the emperor for being rude.

"So, does the Nine Borders Commander-in-Chief have this authority?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and asked calmly.

Wang Chonggu hurriedly said: "Of course, the generals in the capital camp, the navy, and the nine sides should have secret seals and seals. The ones used are the Yichuan of Tangbao. I specifically wrote in the memorial that the generals should be more secretly sealed. , to prevent the evil trend of promoting civil and military affairs!"

He wrote this memorial in order to obtain the Holy Family, not to seek death. Isn't it nonsense to make noises and engage in civil and military affairs with His Majesty? Only civil servants can keep things close to each other, but military officers cannot. Doesn't that make civil servants happy to make up random things?

There were many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty who did evil things, but there were also many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty who died for the country and died on the battlefield. This is a collection of opposites but a unified one.

The current state of military promotion has not even seen the threshold of aggressive military force. From the Yongle to Jiajing years, the number of troops in the Beijing camp was rated at 20, but now there are only , and the remaining personnel have been given to the navy. It is regarded as a national policy to attach equal importance to land and sea. It shows that during the Yongle period, the navy was a separate establishment.

In the eighteenth year of Yongle, the total size of the Ming Navy was equal to ten Felipe II's armadas, 1350 patrol ships, 1350 warships, 400 large ships, 400 ocean-covering ships, and warships. Not even included in the statistics, there were more than naval troops.

The current statistics of the Ming Dynasty also include battleships, and the scale is not as large as that of Yongle eighteen years.

Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng, and Wang Chonggu discussed for a long time in the West Flower Hall of the Royal Study about the establishment of the secret system. Wang Chonggu did not hide it. Anyway, it was Zhang Juzheng who implemented it, and it was Zhang Juzheng who was scolded. What Wang Chonggu wanted was just the Holy Spirit. Family members, government factories, engineering corps and battalions are the biggest help to his lasting legacy.

"I will retire." Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu bowed their heads and resigned. Your Majesty is going to the Peking Camp to parade the troops and horses. It is a very hard job to promote military affairs, and the emperor is never absent.

Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu walked out of Tonghe Palace. The sky was high in the sky, the sky was clear, and the soot was spreading. The sky was not blue, but a kind of blue-grey.

"Wang Cifu, please leave it to me. Are you still using this dense method to communicate with Jin people?" Zhang Juzheng looked around, pulled Wang Chonggu aside and whispered: "Don't talk about me. Zhang Juzheng turned his back on you, I am trying to save you."

Zhang Juzheng never thought that one day he would take action to protect Wang Chonggu.

"No." Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "The Jin Party is in decline, but it is the craftsmen made by the government and factory groups who are my confidence. Do you really think that the Jin Party is so easy to control? It's too late to throw it away. Since you dare to speak to your majesty, Of course it’s no longer used.”

"It's natural. Once Your Majesty hears about it, it won't help if I take action." Zhang Juzheng didn't say whether he believed it or not after hearing it. Wang Chonggu just knew the seriousness.

Zhang Juzheng suddenly smiled and said in a low voice: "I have to say that Wang Cifu has indeed rich experience in fighting against thieves."

"Those who are powerful are destroyed, those who are highly accomplished are defeated. Who can escape?" Wang Chonggu felt that if he had to do it over again, he would probably do the same thing. Life seems to be full of choices, but in fact there are not so many choices. Do it again Nothing can be changed.

Wang Chonggu envied Zhang Juzheng very much. Under His Majesty's protection, he could escape the nightmare of being destroyed by the powerful and defeated by the powerful.
