Rise From the Humble

Boiled peanuts, tofu mixed with green onions, hand-shredded roast chicken, sweet and sour canal fish, West Lake beef soup, four dishes and one soup plus a pot of Suzhou wine were quickly delivered to the study by You Qi. After delivering the wine and food , You Qi resigned, closed the door, and went to guard outside the courtyard.

"Both wine and side dishes, I hope Brother Nian doesn't dislike it." Zhang Juzheng picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Yang Jisheng and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter the wine or the food. As long as Uncle is at the table, it's a feast for Sheng. Uncle, please."

Yang Jisheng twitched the corners of his lips slightly, his tone was half joking and half sincere. After speaking, he raised his wine glass and toasted Zhang Juzheng.

"Brother Nian is joking about Ju Zheng, how dare Ju Zheng. Brother Nian invites you." Zhang Juzheng held the wine glass in both hands and paid respect to Yang Jisheng.

"please."

The two drank a glass together. After finishing the drink, they turned the glasses over. The glasses were empty, with not a drop of wine left.

"Haha, uncle, actually, the more wealthy you are, the happier Sheng will be." After drinking the wine, Yang Jisheng's voice suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhang Juzheng with a half-smile, his eyes shining with an impenetrable luster.

"Uh, why did Brother Nian say that?" Zhang Juzheng said in astonishment.

"Haha, if my uncle had been too ambitious in his book business and had no ambitions, Sheng would not be here today. Only if he has the ambitions and ambitions can he achieve things; if he is motivated by ambition, it may be difficult to achieve things."

Yang Jisheng stood up, picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Zhang Juzheng, smiled and said pointedly.

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, his eyelids twitched again, and an idiom flashed in his mind - the picture is poor and the dagger can be seen.

Next, it was time for Yang Jisheng to reveal the purpose of his trip.

In fact, without Yang Jisheng opening his mouth, Zhang Juzheng had already vaguely guessed the purpose of Yang Jisheng's trip. If Yang Jisheng had simply discussed with him the matter of Zhu Ping'an's impeachment of Gao Botai, Zhang Juzheng would not be so cautious and cautious, letting him You Qi is guarding the yard and guarding against the ears of the partition wall.

That is.

Yang Jisheng is so brave.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but raise the topic

"Uncle, do you think so?" Yang Jisheng raised his wine glass and looked at Zhang Juzheng with a half-smile.

"Haha, Brother Nian is joking. Come on, Brother Nian, try this fish. This fish was just fished out of the Tonghui River by the servants in the mansion today. It is extremely fresh and the meat is of excellent quality." Zhang Juzheng raised his glass. After drinking, he said perfunctorily.

Yang Jisheng raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Zhang Juzheng closely.

"Ahem, brother Nian doesn't eat fish, why are you looking at Juzheng like this?" Zhang Juzheng coughed.

"The more Sheng looked at Uncle, the more he felt that he had made the right decision when he came to Uncle today instead of Yuan Mei."

Yang Jisheng said with a faint smile.

Yuanmei? !

Zhang Juzheng was slightly startled when he heard the name, and then quickly remembered that Yang Jisheng was talking about Wang Shizhen, the Jinshi in the same year who was very close to Zhu Pingan, and a student of his teacher Xu Jie.

To be honest, when Zhu Pingan, Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei came to pay homage to their teacher Xu Jie's house, I was most impressed by Wang Shizhen, followed by Zhang Siwei, and finally Zhu Pingan.

On the one hand, it’s age, and on the other hand, it’s the overall bearing.

There is nothing I can do about it, Zhu Ping'an is the youngest, and yet he is so rustic and honest. However, as time goes by, I pay more attention to Zhu Pingan. As for Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei, I pay less attention to them.

Wang Shizhen’s words.

Although he sang poems with Li Panlong and others, formed a poetry club, and regarded himself as the "Later Seven Sons" to the outside world, he became famous during this period and was very famous in the circle, but for himself, he could not attract much Attention.

Poetry and literary talent

Can you govern the country and bring peace to the world? !

The scholarly spirit that Yang Jisheng just mentioned was probably about Wang Shizhen. However, Zhang Juzheng did not reveal any of these inner thoughts. Instead, he smiled modestly and said perfunctorily: "Not long after Yuan Mei arrived in Beijing, she met Mr. Li. , Mr. Xu and others formed a poetry club, which became so powerful that it became the leader in the poetry world. Its talent and reputation are far superior to Ju Zheng's. Ju Zheng has been in Beijing for several years and has been wasted so far. Brother Nian's words are a comfort to Ju Zheng."

"Haha. Uncle has already made up his mind, so why bother with Yang." Yang Jisheng poured himself a drink, twitching the corner of his mouth with a cold smile.

This is a bit harsh.

For a moment, Zhang Juzheng didn't know how to answer it.

"If the city is not as prosperous as my uncle's, I won't go around in circles with my uncle. Today I came to my uncle to discuss important matters."

Yang Jisheng put down his wine glass, looked at Zhang Juzheng with burning eyes, and said in a crisp voice.

Discuss important matters

Zhang Juzheng's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he heard this. Although he had roughly guessed the purpose of Yang Jisheng's trip before, Zhang Juzheng still couldn't help but feel palpitations when he heard Yang Jisheng say that he had something important to discuss with him.

Yang Jisheng's important matter was a life-threatening matter. At this moment, Zhang Juzheng really wanted to close the door and see off his guests.

You said Wang Shizhen was a scholar?

actually

Aren't you more enthusiastic about being a scholar than Wang Shizhen?

current affairs

general trend

did you see it yet? !

This is definitely not the time to do such a big thing. Teacher Xu Jie is in the cabinet, but he is not a member of the group, has no trace of external desires, and is camera-driven. How can you and I go against the general trend? At this time, it is time to hide one's strength, bide one's time, be cautious in words and deeds, and wait until the time comes to act. If you do such a big thing, wouldn't you be seeking death and destroying your future?

Brother Nian, Brother Nian, you are just good at book business, why bother to pull me over?

Zhang Juzheng's expression changed and he hesitated to speak.

"Just now I said that Zihou was just scratching the surface. In fact, my uncle's superiority is not the same as the others." Yang Jisheng couldn't tolerate Zhang Juzheng's refusal. He picked up the jug and poured himself a drink, and then said generously, "This is the first time for Zihou." The impeachment of Zhao Daying and the second impeachment of Gao Botai are all just clowns. There are tens of millions of clowns like them in the entire Ming Dynasty. If the real culprit is not eliminated, these clowns will appear in endlessly, like leek Like grass, it can never be played out.”

Having said this, Yang Jisheng poured himself a glass of wine again, his face flushed, and he reached out his hand excitedly, slammed the table hard, then raised it up, making a gesture of pulling out the weeds, and excitedly Said: "Only by getting rid of the culprits can these clowns be uprooted and future troubles forever eliminated."

Yang Jisheng slapped the table so hard that all the food and wine on the table bounced more than a book inch, and several peanuts on the plate jumped out.

The more emotional Yang Jisheng became, the more Zhang Juzheng could see Yang Jisheng's determination, and his heart couldn't help but become tighter.

"Who is the culprit? My uncle dare not say it, but Sheng Gan. There is no one else but the thief Song Er!"

As Yang Jisheng spoke, he knocked the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table and stared at Zhang Juzheng with burning eyes, "Severe thieves have brought disaster to the Ming Dynasty. The civil and military officials of the entire court have kept silent about them. The people of the world are suffering. How can you just sit back and watch? We will eliminate the country." Thief, there is no time to delay. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, the only person who can do this great thing with Sheng is Uncle. Uncle, would you like to join me in this great event?"

"Why is there no wine? Brother Nian, please wait a moment and Ju Zheng will bring you a jug of wine."

Before Yang Jisheng finished speaking, Zhang Juzheng jumped up from his seat as if his buttocks were made of needle felt, and was about to walk out with the wine bottle in hand.
