Ping An Biography

Zheng Qia was able to enter and leave from the south gate of the Chu Palace, and the Mrs. Yao or the King of Xiang who he wanted to meet lived in the North Palace just across the street; .

Zhang Ning heard that Zheng Qia asked for a meeting, so he made a special trip to wait for the meeting in the study in the government office that day, with a very positive attitude.

Zheng Qia has the status of Jianwen's Wenhuadian University Bachelor, etc. It is reasonable that these identities and titles are valid in Huguang, because the Xiangwang Group also respects Emperor Jianwen as orthodox; but he still only came to see him wearing a scholar's cloth robe.

Entering the study room, the person who served the tea was Xu Wenjun. Zheng Qia understood the current situation very well, and recognized this woman as Wenjun who was accepted by King Xiang as his second concubine.Just now he was invited to sit by King Xiang, so he stood up again and said, "Don't dare."

Zhang Ning said kindly: "Mr. Zheng, you don't have to be polite. There are no outsiders here, and we are like old friends reunited. Look... I just heard that you have been back to Wuchang for a few days, but you didn't say hello. You and I know each other." After so many years, how can you be so unfamiliar?" [

Zhang Ning made friends when they met, which made Zheng Qia a little uneasy, and responded with a few polite words, haha ​​​​perfunctory.But what Zhang Ning said was right, this place is located in the official office, but it is very secluded, as if there are only the three of them inside and outside.

While Zheng Qia was slowly delaying time with a non-significant tone particle, he seemed to be organizing the opening remarks, and he might want to talk about something serious.

But whatever way he said it was the same, or it was almost the same whether he said it or not.As Zhang Ning said, Zheng Qia did not go to the Three Treasures Hall. Since he took the initiative to post a visit at this time, he expressed what he was doing and what attitude he had.

Zhang Ning turned his head and glanced at the trees outside the door, and casually said to Xu Wenjun who had just brought tea: "The flowers are completely gone, and the cherry blossoms are really short-lived. Am I right?"

Xu Wenjun raised his head to look outside, then nodded slightly, without interrupting, and walked obediently to the room inside the study.

Zhang Ning's appearance made Zheng Qia puzzled. Zheng Qia said casually, "It's good that King Xiang is safe. In fact, whoever is here in Huguang hopes that the situation will be safe and peaceful. Chaos is not good for anyone..."

"What Mr. Zheng said is very true." Zhang Ning agreed immediately.

It just happened to be the above, Zheng Qia took the opportunity to repeat his remarks, mainly emphasizing the countermeasures of the court and the benefits of the Huguang turmoil to them; only the section about Wang Gouer's report was omitted, because The existence of Wang Gou'er is a secret in Jianwen's high-level circle.

Zheng Qia shirked the suspicion and responsibility for the Jianwen Party, while still emphasizing the overall situation.

Zhang Ning's response was noncommittal, and he only said: "According to what Mr. Zheng said, it seems to make sense..."

Zheng Qiafa explained too much, and he couldn't come up with strong evidence to discuss his remarks.However, it seemed that Zhang Ning at least accepted his idea of ​​stabilizing the situation in Huguang, so Zheng Qia felt that the mission of today's visit could be barely completed.

At this moment, Zhang Ning said again: "I have something to say, those who know the time are heroes, why doesn't Mr. Zheng stand by our side?"

Zheng Qia was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to win over so straightforwardly and simply.At that moment, he had no choice but to answer: "The King of Xiang is the emperor's son, and I am the emperor's minister. There is no need to divide you and me."

Zhang Ning did not refute his perfunctory official tone, and went on to say: "The Senate is reorganizing the six ministries and nine ministers in the cabinet. The cabinet ministers followed the changes in the Xuande Dynasty to lead the six ministries into the cabinet and participate in the resolution of important military and state affairs. Other candidates are still available. To put it bluntly, I am a cabinet minister who deliberately chooses a scholar with high morals and high prestige. Mr. Zheng is well-educated, talented and knowledgeable, and has always been admired by this king... Mr. Gu Chunhan and Peach Blossom Fairy also call him uncle. This king is Those who sincerely worship Mr. Zheng to join the cabinet, I wonder how Mr. Zheng will accept it?"

"This..." Zheng Qiahao was mentally prepared, "A cabinet minister and a leader?"

Zhang Ning said: "Could it be that because of this private occasion, Mr. Zheng thinks that this king is talking nonsense?"

"No, no, I definitely don't mean that..."

Zheng Qiacai is in his 40s. He spent the first stage of his life studying hard, and then he wasted 20 years of bad luck. The next [-] years were wasted, and he had no chance to make achievements.Suddenly being able to be selected as a cabinet minister is equivalent to saying that the [-] years of wasted experience are also counted as seniority, which is the same as being a normal official, so it is not a waste of time; There are only a small number of people who are ministers. There are dozens of Jinshi every three years, but there are only a few people in the six ministers, and they don't come down after one or two years.

The value of life can be recognized suddenly, even if Zhang Ning's behavior is too direct and sloppy, it can't help but make Zheng Qia very tempted.If Xiangwang Group achieves great success in the future, Zheng Qia's success will be a matter of course. [

King Xiang's method is indeed simple and rude, but it can really make people fall in love.Zheng Qia felt that he was not like a literati, he did have a bit of a heroic style, and he acted decisively.Perhaps it was the tradition of literati despising each other. Compared with Emperor Jianwen, who was deeply influenced by Confucian scholars, Zheng Qia had already concluded in his heart that this prince was more capable and worthy of expectation than his father.

Where do we go from here?The only thing Zheng Qia can't let go of is the relationship with Emperor Jianwen. After all, we have come together through all these years of adversity. Although there is a saying that "Xiang Wang is the emperor's son, and I am the emperor's minister, there is no need to divide you and me", but Of course there are differences; on the other hand, the pros and cons and the future are so clear at a glance... Just like in the past when a child from a good friend's family asked him for advice: a girl from a poor family who can't provide help, but a childhood sweetheart; Can be compared with those who have smooth sailing.Zheng Qia has always advised his children to choose the latter.

Zhang Ning reached out and patted Zheng Qia's arm lightly, and said kindly: "Sir, you don't need to answer right away, just come to the government office to see me after you've made up your mind."

Zheng Qia came here to be a lobbyist today, but unexpectedly the focus of the matter shifted to himself.

……

Zhang Ning returned to Yao Ji's side.Yao Ji's place is clean and spotless, and the environment is peaceful and refined. She has the ability to create a paradise in the middle of a city that feels like living in seclusion in the mountains.

The sound of the piano ripples from her fingertips, quiet and sparse notes.She was wearing a light and casual white dress, and her hair was pulled up casually, which was indeed a bit of homely elegance.As long as she wears soft materials, the curves of her body will become more obvious, especially the well-shaped and plump breasts, which cannot be suppressed by light gauze.

Zhang Ning sat casually on the futon on the ground, but the teacup was placed on the chair.While listening to the sound of the piano, he was thinking about something and still muttering words.

"Wang Gou'er's news was preconceived, which made Emperor Jianwen believe that the imperial court was secretly arresting the prince and planning an anti-intrigue. If he planted the murder of the prince on my head, he could create Emperor Jianwen's hatred for me; spreading rumors is the first step in an anti-intrigue. One step, and made it clear that the ministers of Jianwen should beware of the next plot... Then the concubine mother directed a scene in which I was assassinated, which corresponded to the second step of the so-called plot in the secret news. It once again consolidated Wang Gouer's rhetoric."

"The assassination case has an obvious explanation for Emperor Jianwen: the imperial court backhandedly planned the 'King of Xiang''s suspicion of Jianwen's ministers, thus further tearing apart the rift between the two sides..."

"What will the ministers of Jianwen do next? Of course, I will not believe that I murdered the prince, and I will expose the court's countermeasures... But we will appear as innocent victims among the factions of Jianwen Yuchen, and in the moral and moral took the initiative.”

Zhang Ning sighed: "In any case, this is the truth... But there is a big loophole in it. Why must the news that Wang Gou'er secretly reported must be the truth? In fact, the root cause of our plan to become the truth is Wang Gou Son. A loophole that cannot be filled is also a tail that lies must reveal."

Yao Ji stopped her fingers, took off the guard on her fingertips, and said softly, "Don't worry, Emperor Jianwen can't verify this point from Wang Gou'er, and Wang Gou'er will not betray himself."

Zhang Ning said: "The next thing I'm going to do today is to quickly win over Zheng Qia. Jianwen may not be able to figure out the key to this series of events, but the civil servants under him are not free, and someone may always be able to detect it. At this time, if there is a People who are inclined to us and have enough weight will be more secure... Zheng Qia is the perfect candidate. He was entrusted by Emperor Jianwen to build a secret tomb before, and he must be the most trusted minister of Jianwen; We can only choose Zheng Qia, only he has a deep relationship with us, and it is easy to build trust with each other."

He gradually cleared up his clues, and murmured: "The matter is not over yet, since we have made it this far, why don't we just keep doing it..."

The image of Luo Yaoniang could not help appearing in Zhang Ning's mind.

I have been in the Ming Dynasty for several years, and time is really a magical thing. Just a few years can change a person a lot.Zhang Ning didn't know it, but when he looked back at the past, he realized that he was no longer the person he was before.

At the beginning, Luo Yaoniang was the first woman he had skin-to-skin contact with after regaining his life, and his emotional experience in the previous life was pitiful, and none of them were good experiences worth remembering. Luo Yaoniang was a little special to him... …If Zhang Ning meets a beautiful woman by chance now, it must be difficult for him to get emotionally involved as easily as before; but this does not affect his memory of the woman who was easily emotionally involved in the past.Just like Fang Ling, even though she used to be a prostitute, she easily entered Zhang Ning's heart at the right time, so now he also maintains the sincerity of the past.

Thinking of Luo Yaoniang, Zhang Ning suddenly felt a little guilty, but there was a voice in his heart that said: Don't think too much about her wishes if you want to make a big deal!

Whether facing Peach Blossom Fairy or Luo Yaoniang, he felt that his heart had once again compromised with actual interests.
