Chapter 966 disappointed

The setting sun had already set in the west, and there was no more afterglow. The twilight was getting darker and the visibility was getting lower and lower.

In the twilight, the little animals became active.

A praying mantis stands on the eaves of the Zhang Mansion’s study, waving its arms towards the mid-air as if facing death in the twilight; behind the mantis, in the crack of the eaves, another mantis uses the natural gap to hide itself tightly.

A squirrel in mid-air, with sharp eyes, quickly flapped its wings, swooping down like a black-edged yellow arrow...

"Uncle..."

When the mantis was about to become the meal of the oriole, he heard a man's deep voice suddenly coming from the study.

flutter

The oriole was frightened, put aside the delicious food in its mouth, and rushed to the sky. The praying mantis stood on the eaves, holding high his arms and two knives, majestic and majestic.

"Uncle, stop."

In the study room, the corner of Yang Jisheng's mouth curled up in a mocking arc, and he raised his voice to call out Zhang Juzheng, who was making an excuse to drink more.

"There's no need to refill the wine, and Sheng won't drink anymore. Forget it, what Sheng said was taken as wine talk or drunk talk." Yang Jisheng pushed the wine glass aside and looked at Zhang Juzheng with a half-smile, meaning something.

"How come..."

The pretexts and perfunctory were explained away, and Zhang Juzheng's handsome face showed a little redness, he said a haha, and sat down.

"Uncle, don't go around in circles, give me a happy word, join me in the grand event, eliminate the country's thieves, help the world, and return the people of Ming Dynasty to a bright future, how about it?!"

Yang Jisheng stared at Zhang Juzheng with scorching eyes, and asked straightforwardly, not allowing Zhang Juzheng to be perfunctory.

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head to look at Yang Jisheng, hesitated for a moment, still did not answer directly, but said insinuatingly, "Brother Nian, Juzheng heard that it is not easy for Brother Nian to study for the imperial examination. It's really not easy for a member of the staff, Wai Lang. Brother Nian..."

Zhang Juzheng still knew about Yang Jisheng's life experience as both his teacher's student and his teacher's appreciation. In Zhang Juzheng's view, Yang Jisheng was born in a farming and studying family, and his family background was a little better than that of Zhu Pingan, who was born in a farmer's firewood household. Just cut it. The family of farming and studying, that is, half farming and half studying, the family background is better than that of pure farming, otherwise it will not be able to support half farming and half studying.

When Yang Jisheng was young, his mother Cao died early, and his father made his concubine Chen Shi his stepwife. This stepmother Chen was jealous that Yang Jisheng was smarter than her son Yang Jimei, and treated Yang Jisheng badly. She not only beat and scolded him secretly, but also made Yang Jisheng let go Cattle. Every time he herds cattle, Yang Jisheng will pass by the private school in the village, and he is envious when he sees many children reading there. One day after returning home from herding cattle, Yang Jisheng told his brother that he wanted to study in a private school. His brother said, you are still young, what books are you reading and what are you studying. Yang Jisheng replied, I can herd cattle when I am young, so why can't I read and study? His elder brother told Yang's father about this, and Yang's father agreed to let Yang Jisheng study and study, but at the same time he had to herd cattle.

After the imperial examination entered the officialdom, Yang Jisheng was not all smooth sailing. The impeachment of Qiu Luan the year before last was first sent to prison, and then relegated to Di Dao Dianshi. .

Zhang Juzheng tried to start with Yang Jisheng's difficult official career, and let Yang Jisheng extinguish his crazy thoughts on his own initiative.

"Uncle, don't say it anymore, I know what you mean. However, since ancient times, there has been no balance between good and evil, and the king's career has not favored peace. How can it be that a seven-foot man does it. Minister, when you are at the top, you will not lose the master of the time, when you are at the bottom, you will not be a dignitary, and you will not waste your relatives, and you will not be a crony outside. Don't be afraid of someone's blood being shed dry, and someone's head, why not be afraid of losing it. Moreover, looking through the history of the country, I found admonitions for loyalty, the names of sticks and death are full of books, those who abandoned the city are full of Xishi, and there are countless people who have been relegated. It is exactly Because of these loyal and unyielding seniors, there is justice in this world, and the sun and the moon in this universe. Eliminate thieves for the country, live up to the common people, and die will die."

Yang Jisheng was full of passion and made a speech impassioned. He looked at Zhang Juzheng with firm eyes.

I, Yang Jisheng, am not afraid of death!

What I am afraid of is that the country's thieves are in power, covering the sky and blocking the sun, and suffering the common people in the world.

Yang Jisheng's respect for death and his awe-inspiring righteousness made Zhang Juzheng very impressed, but at the same time, Zhang Juzheng's idea of ​​avoiding Yang Jisheng's muddy water became more and more determined.

However, Zhang Juzheng knew that if he directly rejected Yang Jisheng at this time, he would appear too weak and careless against the backdrop of Yang Jisheng's awe-inspiring righteousness.

"Brother Nian, this is a very important matter, why not consult the teacher before making a decision." Zhang Juzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly.

Zhang Juzheng knew very well that if Yang Jisheng went to consult Teacher Xu Jie, the teacher would definitely stop Yang Jisheng.

The teacher is more dormant than himself at this time.

"Hehe, the teacher at this time, it doesn't matter if you don't ask. Besides, I, Yang Jisheng, do things, but I have a clear conscience."

Yang Jisheng twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled faintly, and shook his head slowly.

"Uh, brother Nian, both of you and I are from the teacher's school. We should consult the teacher's opinion because of emotion and reason. Besides, the matter is important at this time. Once we do something, the teacher will definitely be implicated and cannot stay out of it. Based on this, we should consult the teacher in advance. Inform the teacher so that the teacher can make plans early and prepare for it, so as not to be caught off guard." Zhang Juzheng suggested again.

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, the arc of Yang Jisheng's mouth became thicker, he heheed, and shook his head.

"Uncle, don't say it anymore. I already understand what you mean. What Sheng wants to achieve most when he comes here today is to join hands with Shuda to participate in the grand event; secondly, Shuda doesn't need to appear in person, and he doesn't need to be named. I'll do it with a little effort; for the last time, Uncle helped me play this performance with the axe, and checked it. Haha, forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, Uncle today, just pretend that I haven't been here before."

Yang Jisheng smiled, took out a draft memorial from his sleeve, shook his head in disappointment, then put the memorial back into his arms, hooked the corners of his lips, and cupped his hands to Zhang Juzheng in disappointment.

Then

Turn around and walk out of the study.

"Brother Nian."

Zhang Juzheng stood up, took two quick steps, hesitated to speak.

"Hehe, Uncle stays behind and calls Yang again. If he misses the curfew, Yang will have to stay overnight in your mansion. At that time, Uncle may only be on the same boat with Yang if he has a city mansion again." Yes. Come back, different ways don’t conspire with each other.”

Yang Jisheng waved his hands without turning his head, and then walked away with his hands behind his back and his sleeves wide.

Zhang Juzheng silently followed Yang Jisheng and sent him outside the door.

After walking out of the gate of Zhang's mansion, Yang Jisheng stopped in his tracks without looking back, and left a faint sentence to Zhang Juzheng behind him: "Uncle, although both Ru and Zihou are nowhere close to scratching, but if one is itchy, it will be scratched, and if the other is itchy, it will be okay." Don't dare to scratch. You are not as thick as a son, there are too many."

After finishing speaking, Yang Jisheng put his hands on his back again, swayed his body as if drunk, and chanted the song and left.

"The wind is blowing and the water is cold. Once a strong man is gone, he will never return."
