Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 147: Deceiving the Japanese slaves! Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang are next! ?
Li Rusong's doubts were also the doubts of others present.

Zhang Chonghui had obviously been imprisoned, so how did he learn in such a short period of time that the Japanese slaves had not only arrived, but were also beheaded and escaped?

"Sure enough!" Shen Weijing suddenly shouted: "I knew it was Vice Envoy Zhang who did it! Otherwise, the Japanese slaves would never have come in advance!"

No one knows whether Shen Weijing's accusation is true. Anyway, the 'responsibility' for this accident was dumped on Zhang Chonghui by him.

The economic envoy Song Yingchang first glanced at Shen Weijing. After thinking for a moment, he said directly: "Now, solving the problem is the most important thing! Go and bring Deputy Envoy Zhang here. I want to see what he can do!"

As soon as this order came out, everyone looked at Li Rusong. After all, Zhang Chonghui was the person he ordered to imprison.

Facts have proved that Young Master Li was indeed unhappy. He simply said angrily:
"What are you looking at me for? Shilang Song is the military envoy! His official position is higher than mine! He has already spoken! You don't listen to his orders! Do you still want to listen to my 'Qiu Ba' order!?"

If Shi Xing, Minister of the Ministry of War, had been the envoy to Korea this time, this irritable Shandong man would have shouted out with his fists.

However, Song Yingchang was not a stone star, and Song Shilang's mentality was very stable, otherwise he would not have been so valued by His Majesty the Wanli Emperor and given him such an important position.

Song Yingchang ignored Li Rusong's anger and calmly repeated the order just now, saying:

After all, Li Rusong met the person he least wanted to see. Even though he just had a 'face to face' with Zhang Chonghui and glanced at Zhang Chonghui, even though he walked straight away without stopping, he still heard the voice behind him. Clear words.

……

His old father Li Chengliang was almost charged with the death penalty for "colluding" with an important official in the court. How could Li Rusong, a son, dare not learn from his old father's lesson?
As we all know, Young Master Li is notoriously arrogant and has a reputation for not dealing with civil servants in the court, especially his direct superiors.

After all, the Li family is where they are today largely because of Zhang Juzheng's promotion and promotion.

"Shilang Song, long time no see."

As soon as Song Yingchang finished speaking, Li Rusong strode out angrily without saying a word, leaving no face for his superiors.

"Admiral Li, Pyongyang City could have been captured easily, but you always avoid me and refuse to listen to my suggestions. I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble."

To prevent himself from becoming the next 'Li Chengliang', and to prevent Wu Weizhong from becoming the next 'Qi Jiguang'.

Shen Weijing was angry again and again, as if he was complaining for Song Yingchang, more like he was trying to flatter Song Yingchang.

Faced with such rude behavior from his subordinates, Song Yingchang remained unoffended and even said calmly: "You all should go down first. Just let Shen Youyi and I resolve this matter."

the other side.

……

It's hard to be Li Chengliang, but it's even harder to be Li Chengliang's son.

"Li Zimao, why are you doing this?" Wu Weizhong sighed: "You have to give Song Jinglue some face, right? After all, Song Jinglue is also a high-ranking official, and... what if you displease him and he impeaches you to the emperor? ?”

……

Inside the military tent.

It is worth mentioning that these two people are fellow villagers and both are from Zhejiang.

At this time, everyone had to admire the broad-mindedness of the master strategist, and they all sighed in their hearts - "Sure enough, 'the prime minister can punt a boat in his belly'!"

However, the admiral, who was still angry, seemed to be deaf and walked quickly away without hearing.

After all, Wu Weizhong was a general whom Qi Jiguang relied heavily on, and the reason why Qi Jiguang was so prosperous was naturally inseparable from Zhang Juzheng's promotion.

After Li Rusong said these words, he left. He really hoped that Wu Weizhong could be as "heartless" as he was.

"This Admiral Li is so presumptuous! It's really against the rules and regulations! It means that Song Jinglue has a broad mind and is not as knowledgeable as him! If it had been anyone else, he would have been punished long ago!"

Zhang Chonghui's words were so arrogant and straightforward that Li Rusong almost lost control of his temper and went back to scold him!

Wu Weizhong didn't expose him anymore. He had watched Li Rusong grow up, so why didn't he know that young Master Li had a cautious and sensitive heart under his seemingly wild and rough appearance?

Facts have proved that people like to hear good things, and Song Yingchang is no exception. Regarding this, he waved his hand and smiled quite generously:

However, things often backfire.

……

Wu Weizhong caught up with Li Rusong who left angrily.

However, the more Li Rusong became arrogant and offended, the more Emperor Wanli fell in love with him, and even blatantly protected him!
Everyone knows why.

"Avoiding suspicion? Deliberately causing trouble?" Shen Weijing looked confused. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly realized: "So that's how it is..."

The "Qiu Ba"s all left, and only Song Yingchang and Shen Weijing were left in the military tent.

"Go and bring Deputy Zhang."

"Stay away from the Zhang family, the emperor doesn't like it."

Li Rusong's meaning was obvious. He hoped that Wu Weizhong could know how to "avoid suspicion" like him.

"Rucheng." Li Rusong suddenly stopped hurriedly leaving, turned around and said to Wu Weizhong: "You should be careful, don't always speak for some 'unnecessary' people."

Now that Zhang Juzheng's grandson is coming, Li Rusong, who is Li Chengliang's son, can naturally avoid seeing the other party without causing unnecessary commotion.

"Impeach me? Hahahaha!" Li Rusong laughed and said in an arrogant tone: "How many times have I been impeached in these years? I dare to scold the minister! Let alone a minister!"

"Why bother getting angry with a rough guy? What's more, Admiral Li did this just to avoid suspicion and deliberately caused some trouble."

Everyone knows that with the death of Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang's glorious years also 'died', and the final ending is even more lamentable...

"Rucheng, what are you talking about?" Li Rusong seemed to not understand what Wu Weizhong said, so he turned around and left.

"Come on!" Wu Weizhong looked around first, and after seeing that there was no one around him, he whispered: "Don't think I can't see that you deliberately caused these troubles to avoid seeing that kid!"

After Zhang Chonghui bowed his hands politely towards Song Yingchang, his words suddenly changed and he said:
"You broke your promise."

Such inexplicable words made Song Yingchang puzzled for a moment, but soon he knew what Zhang Chonghui meant by 'broken promise'.

"You're talking about your father-in-law Zhao's promotion, right?" Song Yingchang smiled and said, "Isn't he already promoted?"

"Promoted?" Zhang Chonghui also smiled: "From the eighth rank of Honglu Temple's director to the seventh rank of Zhongshu Sheren, this promotion seems not worthy of what my father-in-law did to the Ming Dynasty. Contribute?"

"Deputy Envoy Zhang, don't forget one thing." Song Yingchang said sarcastically: "Your father-in-law is not even a civil servant. To be able to give him the position of a scholar is a sign of mercy from the Lord." Yeah, I advise you not to push yourself too far!"

Song Yingchang's words are not unreasonable at first glance. After all, Zhao Shizhen does not have the reputation of being an uke.

However, Zhao Shizhen was obviously a person suitable for working with guns, and was more suitable for positions related to the development of guns, but he was eventually promoted to a clerical official position such as Shusheren.

This makes it clear that Zhao Shizhen was just sent to a miscellaneous official.

Zhang Chonghui also knew that Emperor Wanli's signal was indispensable, but he knew even better that Song Yingchang had broken his promise.

"Song Shilang, you are too clueless." Zhang Chonghui said this coldly. "What did you say?" Song Yingchang frowned. He seriously suspected that he heard wrongly.

He has always been praised by others as a generous person who knows how to make good use of people! In the end, this guy actually said he had no idea?

If he doesn't have a pattern, who can have a pattern?

"What a pity..." Faced with Song Yingchang's doubts, Zhang Chonghui replied with a pity on his face:
"Originally, helping my father-in-law get promoted would be a big help to help you join the cabinet. But now it seems that with your situation, you may not be able to join the cabinet in this life."

"What nonsense are you talking about! When is it the turn of a little person like you to comment on such a big matter?"

The person who yelled loudly was Shen Weijing. Song Yingchang, the 'person involved', was not anxious yet, but he on the side was anxious.

Such a scene of "loyalty protecting the master" fell into Song Yingchang's eyes, and he was naturally a little moved.

But in Zhang Chonghui's eyes, he felt that Shen Weijing was 'deliberately hiding' something. Not long after, Zhang Chonghui roughly guessed who was behind Shen Weijing.

Alas, we are all fellow Zhejiang people, so why bother with internal fighting?

Hmm...it's still somewhat necessary.

After all, 'he' really wants to make progress!
"That's all, I won't care about what you said." Song Yingchang spoke generously again, then turned to ask about business matters:

"The Japanese slaves are here to celebrate the New Year. Were you the one who caused the trouble in the first place? Now that they have run away, you said you have a solution. What solution do you have?"

"What the hell did I do?" Zhang Chonghui immediately became displeased and said, "I risked my life and ran to Pyongyang City, but Shen Guobi took the credit away from me. Now the Japanese slaves have come early, you guys You want to put your hat on me?"

With that said, Zhang Chonghui looked at Shen Weijing and asked strangely: "Shen Youyi, could it be that you deliberately communicated with the Japanese and wanted to frame me so that you could drive me out completely? After all, except for the first time, it was me. Apart from the Japanese slaves you contacted, you were the one who contacted the Japanese slaves for the rest of the period!"

"You put...what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Weijing was also really anxious, so anxious that he almost uttered curse words.

Shen Weijing thought that the words he said about Zhang Chonghui were unpleasant enough! Unexpectedly, Zhang Chonghui was even more ruthless than him! He was actually directly charged with "treason with the Japanese"!
Or 'deliberately' communicating with the Japanese!
"Okay, stop arguing!" Song Yingchang was finally unhappy. After interrupting the quarrel and conflict that was about to break out between the two with a cold voice, he said directly:
"Deputy Envoy Zhang, now that the Japanese slaves have come and run away, just tell us how to solve it!"

Song Yingchang didn't want to listen to useless arguments, he just wanted to solve the current problem quickly!

"How else can we solve it?" Zhang Chonghui seemed to be indifferent and replied lightly: "Can't we just tell the Japanese slaves that this is a misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstand?"

After hearing such a "perfunctory" answer, Song Yingchang was really angry this time! He thinks he is big-hearted and broad-minded, but he is not a monkey to be played with!

"Zhang Chonghui!" The angry Lord Song Jinglue directly asked Zhang Chonghui by name and said angrily:

"Do you think Japanese slaves are all fools? A misunderstanding can solve the problem? You said you have an idea, is this the idea? You are playing tricks on me, right?"

At the same time, Shen Weijing was also watching the excitement, waiting for the angry Song Yingchang to severely 'punish' Zhang Chonghui.

However, facing Song Yingchang's rather angry questioning, Zhang Chonghui did not panic at all, and instead gave such an answer -

——"Song Jinglue, why are you excited? How do you know that the Japanese slaves are not fools?"

……

No one knows whether the Japanese slaves are fools, but they do not seem very smart.

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Japanese slaves sent people again, and the purpose was very simple. They came to ask for an "explanation."

Moreover, the person sent by Japan this time was Xiao Xifei, a close confidant of Governor Konishi.

People came to ask for an explanation. Naturally, the Ming Dynasty envoys had to give this explanation.

Shen Weijing acted like a thief, don't always say that he took the credit from Zhang Chonghui, let the deputy envoy Zhang Chonghui take on the 'important responsibility' this time!

……

Inside the military tent.

"Admiral Li, Deputy Envoy Zhang sent someone to tell you that the Japanese slaves want to meet with you personally to discuss the following matters." The general came to report.

"You want to see me again?" Li Rusong was surprised and surprised when he heard the news, and thought to himself: "Is it possible that the Japanese slave was really deceived by his kid?"

Out of curiosity, Li Rusong immediately put down what he was doing this time and went to the camp where the Japanese envoy was received.

By chance, Li Rusong met Song Yingchang, who also came to 'pick up guests' on the way.

With the same curiosity, the two went to receive the Japanese slaves together.

……

Ever since they stepped into the camp, Song Yingchang and Li Rusong were confused.

In order to 'keep it secret', apart from Li Rusong and Song Yingchang, the only 'own' people in the camp were Zhang Chonghui, a total of three people from the Ming Dynasty.

There were more than a dozen people in the remaining room, all Japanese slaves.

Neither Li Rusong nor Song Yingchang could understand Japanese, so Zhang Chonghui had to translate everything.

And most of the time, the two of them could only smile awkwardly and politely on the sidelines, watching Zhang Chonghui chatting with the Japanese slaves in some bird language that they did not understand.

Looking at the attitude of the Japanese slaves, it can be said that they are quite enthusiastic and happy! It seems that the Ming army's previous incident of beheading the opponent's envoy... has never happened?
"It's filthy, it's all filthy!" Xiao Xifei said with a smile to Li Rusong and Song Yingchang in broken Chinese: "Crack down on fakes and filthy shit!"

"Ah..." Song Yingchang reacted very quickly and said with a smile: "Yes, yes! It's all a misunderstanding! Everyone is a misunderstanding!"

Li Rusong also hurriedly echoed: "Yeah! That's right! It's all a misunderstanding!"

For a time, "happy" and "harmonious" laughter resounded throughout the camp, and everyone seemed to believe that this was a "misunderstanding."

At the same time, Song Yingchang and Li Rusong were shocked inside!
They really convinced Zhang Chonghui! He actually fooled the Japanese slaves?
Xiao Xifei babbled again and again, and Zhang Chonghui translated back and said:
"He said that they are very much looking forward to the two visiting Pyongyang, and they will warmly welcome their arrival."

In response, Song Yingchang smiled meaningfully and said: "Tell them that we will go soon!"

……

The negotiation lasted for nearly an hour, and both parties were smiling throughout the whole process, as if they were 'really' negotiating for peace.

As for the 'authenticity' of the 'specific' content and whether it is consistent with the 'retelling' translated by Zhang Chonghui, only 'Heaven' knows.

It was not until the negotiation was over and Xiao Xifei and others were sent away that Song Yingchang realized something.

"That's not right!" Song Yingchang stared at Zhang Chonghui closely and said suspiciously:

"I've heard that you've only learned Japanese for a year. Are you already able to communicate with Japanese slaves without any barriers?"

"Are you translating randomly?"
