Wanli Xinming

Chapter 250 Nightmare
"Zhang Juzheng, you pay my life back!"

"Zhang Jiangling, I won't let you go even if I'm an evil ghost!"

Zhang Juzheng, who was chatting with the cabinet, suddenly found that Liu Tai, dressed in white with a pale complexion, swooped towards him.

Zhang Juzheng had never seen Liu Tai like this before. His eyes seemed to be breathing fire. Because of his resentment, the muscles on his face were almost twisted, and the blood dripping from the corners of his mouth was dazzlingly red.

When he fluttered at Zhang Juzheng, his face suddenly changed, turning into Gao Gong's face, Zhang Juzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Duke Xinzheng - when Jiaweng saw his back, you and I Once we meet up to now, it has been several years of spring and autumn."

Gao Gong's eyes widened, and he scolded: "A traitor who is dictatorial and whose funerals are ruining the country, I, Gao, are ashamed of you as a friend!" After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Juzheng's hand: "Go, go see the late emperor. , the old man wants to sue you for the crime of arrogance!"

Zhang Juzheng struggled hard and said: "Xin Zhenggong is joking, and the world is bright, who dares to correct the edict——" He suddenly returned to the taste: "Xinzheng Gong, haven't you been dead for several years?"

Just after saying this, the person who grabbed his hand was not Gao Gong, but Feng Bao. There was a man standing behind Feng Bao, his face was blurred, like the first emperor Longqing Emperor, but also like his head was being slapped Seven Xu Jue in a box.

Listening to Feng Bao said: "Uncle Zhang, Feng Mou gave your old thief a knife, does it hurt?" After speaking, he said with a grim face: "The pain of your death is not as bad as mine! You betrayed me that day and made my family lose. When I die, I can't beg for death!"

Zhang Juzheng saw the enemy who killed his father in a dream, but he couldn't think of desperate thoughts. He only pulled his hand hard, trying to break his wrist from Feng Bao's hand.The person behind Feng Bao suddenly shouted: "Traitor, look at the knife!" A cold light flashed - exactly like the one in his father's throat that day, a shining flying knife came straight to his door.

"Ah—" Zhang Juzheng suddenly sat up from the bed, earning himself from this terrifying nightmare.He was sweating profusely, and his heart was pounding.

Hearing a soft voice beside him: "Master, are you still in a nightmare?" The glass oil lamp was turned on before he finished speaking. A beautiful woman in Lingluo picked up a soft silk scarf and wiped Zhang Juzheng's forehead. Dense beads of sweat.

Zhang Juzheng calmed down, looked at the two lively faces on the outer bed, and let out a long sigh.

He said softly, "Pour a cup of tea." The woman agreed first, then said, "Master, the health care doctor said that you can't drink tea at night. It's better to drink some milk so that you can sleep soundly." After saying this, Seeing that Zhang Juzheng didn't answer, she still took a bowl of tea from the outside.

After she tasted the hot and cold, Zhang Juzheng was lying on the pillow by the head of the bed, snuggling up to her and drinking a sip of tea.He asked, "What time is it now?"

The beauty said, "It's not [-] hours yet, sir, just sleep for a while." Zhang Juzheng didn't answer, he stared at the top of the tent in a daze.

Zhang Wenming was assassinated on the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifth year of Wanli, and it will be five years now.At the beginning, the entire world situation was affected by Zhang Wenming's case, and the emperor broke dozens of Jiangnan clans to bury Zhang Wenming with him.

Zhang Juzheng's tentacles all over the empire also fed back various news related to Zhang Wenming's assassination. Someone in Zhang Juzheng's staff was specially responsible for sorting out the information.However, with the gradual increase of information, Zhang Juzheng had voluntarily stopped the investigation at the beginning of the sixth year of Wanli.

In his heart, he never dared to think that his father's death had anything to do with the emperor.He stopped himself from thinking that way, and he couldn't think of a reason why the emperor would attack his father.

However, today the dream revealed the real murderer clearly.Zhang Juzheng clearly remembered that at the end of the fifth year of Wanli, the Wei Dynasty was assigned by the emperor to go to Jiangnan.Some say he went to Nanjing, where Feng Bao's lair was.

No one explained to him, even though he was already under one person and above ten thousand people.Zhang Juzheng had a hard time believing that Feng Bao was instigated by the emperor - no one with a shred of political wisdom could do so.However, Feng Bao assassinated Zhang Wenming, but the emperor did not execute him - Zhang Juzheng thought of this, shook his head, and killed the thought from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe Dong Jianxiong was the real murderer, Zhang Juzheng thought.His grandfather died at the hands of King Xiao Liao - that ridiculous king kept pouring alcohol into his stomach, and he killed him alive like that.

The real culprit didn't get the punishment he deserved until the palace of the Liao King fell.Zhang Juzheng recalls now that his grandfather should be the Zhang family's favorite person—far more than his own father.

So, when King Liao was being impeached, he gave him a gentle push and threw the entire line of King Liao into the abyss.Well, the person who wrote the revealing post will not let this matter go - the Liu Tai case is just a small introduction, and the princes' counterattack will only cost the lives of their families.

I don't know if the National Security Bureau found out the black hand of the post case, the National Security Bureau, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Zhang Juzheng's secret guard who had only heard about it and didn't know his face, didn't know how the investigation was.

Zhang family should be cursed, I don't know what will happen to the old man in the future.Did he die like his grandfather and father did, or did he die?

Qiu Zong chirped, disturbing Zhang Juzheng's thoughts.For many years, he did not have the spare time to hurt spring and autumn.At this time, in the early morning of an autumn day in the tenth year of Wanli, a sense of sadness suddenly came to my mind.

The beauty beside him snorted, and Zhang Juzheng realized that his hands were using a bit of strength.He turned his head to the side, looked at the tearful beauty, and suddenly realized that since the last time the emperor came to visit him, he had spent many days on the bed.

On the third day of August in the tenth year of Wanli, it was the imperial court.Jia Sanjin's memorial to impeach Zhang Xueyan, the deputy Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was issued by the emperor for court discussion.In the "Empty Salary Case", Zhang Xueyan used the influence of his Privy Council to give the green light to the arms business of groups such as Weng Dali and Jia Shanyan, and accepted 7 taels of bribes-the Metropolitan Procuratorate has investigated and settled the case.

Zhang Xueyan was very capable, and people at that time thought he was scheming.He not only cooperated with Li Chengliang in Liaodong and made numerous contributions, but also served in two Beijings, Shandong and Shaanxi. He liquidated his relatives, Zhuangtian Lijin, seized official and civilian settlements, and greatly reduced private taxes. He was regarded as a capable minister of the Wanli Dynasty.

However, the status of a capable minister could not restore the monarch's hatred for corruption. Zhang Xueyan was sentenced to hang in prison and executed in the autumn.Zhang Juzheng heard the emperor's indifferent verdict, his face was calm, but his heart was agitated.

Zhang Xueyan was the highest-ranking civil servant who was sentenced to death after Zhu Yijun arrested the officials.The former governor of Yunnan, Wang Ning, was killed before the war in Burma, and the officialdom of the world was shaken.Now that the deputy privy envoy, a high-ranking officer, was sentenced to hang, the shock to the civil and military officials will far exceed Wang Ning's sentence.

When Zhang Xueyan was involved in the empty pay case and was just detained, some people thought that the wind was about to change, and they impeached Zhang Xueyan and Wang Zongzai one after another, thinking they had a plan.Unexpectedly, they were reprimanded one after another by the emperor, scolding them to see the wind and the rudder, especially shameless - they made a mess.

Later, the palace announced that Zhang Yunxiu, Zhang Juzheng's fifth son, Shang Princess Shouyang, disappeared without a trace in the officialdom of Daming without even a single wave of the "publishing case".

After the sentence of Zhang Xueyan's case was pronounced, Zhang Juzheng was about to return to the Political Office.Zhu Yijun asked him to say: "Sir, Zhang Ziyu has made great contributions to the country, although the merits and demerits are not equal, but you go to see him in prison on my behalf and express my regrets - by the way, ask him if he has anything to say. of."

Zhang Juzheng was shocked when he heard this.He didn't know where Zhu Yijun's words came from?Seeing that he was puzzled, Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Someone said that he worked in a scheming way by my side. This person really has some tricks. Just ask him how to die - let him tell the truth."
