The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 362 Zhang Juzheng: "How cooked?"

In 1553, the reign was changed to Longqing.

The Ming Emperor Muzong, who was known in history for his "sensual pleasures", also came online in advance.

Many people in history are not very clear about this emperor who reigned for only six years.

But during the reign of Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty, he did two things, namely, the opening of the Longqing Gate and Altan Khan's tribute!

In other words, the emperor lifted the maritime ban.
So now you understand why he was in power for only six years, right?
After all, lifting the maritime ban is like poking a hole in the lungs of the wealthy merchants in the south.

You have poked the other person's heart with a knife. If he doesn't do something to you, then you really have no temper!

Why did Zhang Cheng pick on Lincoln and want to smash his skull? It was because this bastard Lincoln had no moral principles. He wanted to liberate the black slaves, which was equivalent to treating the Far East Group and the southern plantation owners as "white fools"!

Not only do they not buy the melon seeds, but they also want to plunder their "wealth". Isn't this courting death?

So, Lincoln's skull was smashed by Zhang Cheng and the southern plantation owners to the point where it could not be put back together!
The palace is filled with royal dignities.
The former Prince Yu, at this moment His Majesty Longqing was angrily shouting: "Lu Bing, why hasn't the matter of Gao Gong been investigated thoroughly yet!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Royal Guards really haven't found any clues in this matter. It's as if Lord Gao has disappeared out of thin air!"

Looking at Emperor Longqing in front of him, Lu Bing was also quite troubled at the moment.

Because as the teacher of Emperor Longqing, Gao Gong's status is very high, but the problem is that when it comes to the settlement screen, Gao Gong is gone!

Yes, he was the kind that disappeared without a trace. Lu Bing searched almost the entire capital city but couldn’t find Gao Gong!

If Gao Gong is said to be a hermit, Lu Bing would also admit it.
But the problem is, Gao Gong is not that!

He worked as Prince Yu's teacher just to wait for the day when he could enter the cabinet!

But now, Gao Gong is gone, and not only Emperor Longqing is furious, but Lu Bing is too, because if he wants to leave, why not just leave a letter?
"What do you Jinyiwei eat?"

He spoke angrily, and Emperor Longqing could not help but scold him.
But at this moment, Zhang Cheng hurriedly walked out with his hands clasped, saying, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Zhang Aiqing, you say!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Emperor Longqing's temper calmed down a little.
After all, his successful succession to the throne was due to the real contributions of Zhang Cheng and Zhang Juzheng!
Zhang Cheng stopped all the officials and sent people to block his brother at the door of his house. Otherwise, according to Jiajing's situation at the time, it would be uncertain who would become the emperor!

"Your Majesty, the general of Kyushu Island has specially sent two hundred "beautiful ladies" to congratulate you on your ascension to the throne!"

Zhang Cheng smiled as he spoke to Emperor Longqing in front of him.

"Oh, is that so? It seems that among the Japanese, there are still some people who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"

He spoke with a smile on his face, and Longqing said immediately: "Let the Ministry of Rites handle this matter!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he should order the surrounding vassal states to pay tribute, otherwise we cannot demonstrate the might of our Ming Dynasty!"

Looking at Emperor Longqing in front of him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise his head and speak.
"My dear, we will discuss this later!"

Seeing Zhang Cheng's face full of fighting spirit, Emperor Longqing was also frightened.
Because Zhang Cheng had told him about this matter two days ago, but Emperor Longqing didn't want to go to war!
"Today we are going to discuss one thing, that is, the cabinet vacancy. I want to promote the Minister of Rites Zhang Juzheng to the cabinet. Do you have any objections?"

Looking at the officials below, Emperor Longqing asked,

After hearing this, all the officials showed understanding on their faces.

Because Zhang Juzheng's entry into the cabinet was inevitable, stepping forward to stop him would not have any impact, but would offend people instead!
After leaving the court, Zhang Cheng, wearing a second-grade scarlet robe, walked towards the imperial study.
As they walked together, Zhang Juzheng turned his head and said, "There is a lot of work to be done now, why do you want to start a border conflict?"

"We need to speed up the maritime ban. We don't have much time!"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng standing beside him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.
"How can you say you don't have time when you are still young?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but wonder.
"Can you really get anything done by playing dirty in the court? A month ago, the Yellow River burst its banks, leaving so many people homeless and facing food shortages. How long have they been arguing about this? How long will it last?" Looking at Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Cheng also became unhappy.
This matter should have been handled quickly, but because the ministers had not yet decided on the appointment of the imperial envoy, it was delayed.
And in terms of money and grain, Jiajing really didn't save any money!

If it weren't for Zhang Cheng's conquest of the Iwami Silver Mine and the support of Koshu Gold, the Ming Dynasty would probably be in a state of panic now.

According to his idea, if there is not enough money, just rob; if there is not enough food, just "borrow"!
My neighbor hoards food, I hoard guns, my neighbor is my granary!

You have called the Celestial Empire your superior country for so many years, and now that our country asks you to borrow something, you are complaining and grumbling. Aren’t you giving it no face?
Judas: Do you think the Bible is a map?

Rabbit: Wait, I...
South Asian countries: What the hell am I waiting for? Your ancestors are gone, but mine are still here!

"Look, you're in a hurry again!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but say, "Can't you calm down? We can't be so anxious when doing things!"

"If the decree is issued in the morning, I will set out in the afternoon and can fight South Asia in the evening. Tell me who is in a hurry?"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng beside him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Don't blame me for not reminding you that the grain in South Asian countries is harvested three times a year!"

"How well done?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Zhang Juzheng's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Three cooked!"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng unhappily, Zhang Cheng started to complain.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's go and meet His Majesty now. But in this battle, we can only win, not lose!"

He dragged Zhang Cheng forward and ran. Zhang Juzheng also started to panic.

"Look, you're in a hurry!"

Looking at Zhang Juzheng's appearance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain.

"If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to catch up in time for spring planting! What do you know!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but yell angrily.

In the imperial study, Emperor Longqing looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and couldn't help but touch his chin and said, "Well, not bad!"

But at this moment, Jia Jingzhong came in and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Xinzhi want to see you!"

Looking at Emperor Longqing in front of him, Jia Jingzhong quickly spoke up.
"Xuan!"

Waving his hand, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but touch his chin and said, "Zhang Xinzhi is a very good person. No wonder he holds a high position at such a young age. It makes sense that my father likes such important officials!"

There are two hundred beauties, all of them are exotic. Without saying anything else, Emperor Longqing would give him a thumbs up!

But when Zhang Cheng and Zhang Juzheng arrived, Emperor Longqing was also shocked and said, "What, three cooked? But isn't this too..."

"Your Majesty, I have never been to school! So, to some extent, I have no humanity or righteousness!"

Looking at Emperor Longqing, Zhang Cheng almost told him openly, what rules are there to follow at a time like this!

"Master Zhang is right! He really has never been to school!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zhang Juzheng also nodded and spoke quickly.
Seeing that the two had united as one, Emperor Longqing was about to say something, but Zhang Cheng quickly said, "Your Majesty, South Asian women are also very beautiful and plump."

"Issue an edict, issue an edict. I haven't resolved the unrest in Lingnan yet, and yet they have offended the majesty of the kingdom. Do you really think I am just a decoration?"

He opened his mouth with a loud roar, and Emperor Longqing could not help but scold him.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Cheng in shock, because this guy could really grasp the emperor's mind!
