Finally, I returned to the capital again.

However, unlike the last time, as soon as he returned to the capital, Shi Yiwen felt the difference in the atmosphere in the capital, not just because of that coup, but because of the floating hearts after the coup.

Even when he returned to the capital, no one even paid attention to his return. However, even so, Shi Yiwen still went to Zhang Juzheng's house in Wusha Hutong as soon as possible. When he arrived at Wusha Hutong, he saw more than a dozen soldiers holding thunder guns standing in front of Zhang's house, and the leader was his acquaintance.

When he saw Shi Yiwen get off the carriage, Zhang Pengju immediately said in surprise.

"Zhiyuan, haven't you gone to Nanyang? Why are you back so soon!"

"I'll come back after I've been busy there. Is the prime minister in the mansion?"

"Are here, here, wait a moment, I'll let someone pass on it,"

When he ordered the soldiers to pass the news, Zhang Pengju said in a low voice.

"You must have heard of it. Alas, I've been so worried about the prime minister this time. You said that if you locked up so many people, whether to kill or kill them, it's all a matter. Zhiyuan, you have many ideas, and you will have to give some ideas to the prime minister later..."

You Qi had already greeted him in person as he spoke.

"Shi General Secretary, please come in quickly, the master is waiting for you in the study."

Whether in history books or in reality, You Qi is not only Zhang Juzheng's confidant, but also his aide, and is even known as "half-major". After a few words of politeness, Shi Yiwen followed him into the Zhang family, and Shi Yiwen asked on the way.

"Brother You, how is the situation with the Chief Supervisor?"

"Oh, I'm going to hide the truth from you. These days, the master has been talking about you all day long."

Whispering me?

Shi Yiwen said in surprise.

"Yes, I'm wondering when you can go back to Beijing. Do you have to wait a few more days if you want to wait? Why did it arrive so soon?"

You Qi asked in confusion.

"Hurry the boat. If you weren't worried about any accidents on the way, I'll hurry back."

"Indeed, indeed, when you see the master later, the master will definitely ask you something. If the master gets angry, you will be more responsible..."

Although he was called "half-phase", You Qi seemed very polite. When he was about to approach the study, he asked casually.

"Is the lady okay?"

"It's okay..." Before he finished speaking, Shi Yiwen looked at You Qi in amazement. When his eyes were slightly closed, he heard him say.

"Don't worry, my master is asking this for the master. You know, there are some things that the master must not know."

Well!

What does this mean?

In confusion, Shi Yiwen walked into the study and heard a stern shout as soon as he entered the room.

"Shi Zhiyuan, you have killed me!"

Accompanied by the rebuke, a black shadow smashed towards Shi Yiwen. After he missed, he heard the sound of teacup smashing on the ground, and then he saw Zhang Juzheng, who was angry, glaring at him.

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

"What do you mean? You give Zhiyuan your own selfishness and make me enemies from all over the world. I am smart for a lifetime, but it is destroyed in your hands. How can you please make me happy!"

Griefly staring at Shi Yiwen, Zhang Juzheng scolded.

"If you hadn't colluded with Lu Diaoyang in Jiangnan, how could they have been in danger during Shenxing? Doing such a traitor! You, Shi Yiwen, is my Ming Dynasty sinner!"

Shi Yiwen was not angry about such accusation. He could understand Zhang Juzheng's mood now. He was probably in a very contradictory mind. On the one hand, he knew that he, who was in power, could naturally implement reforms according to his will after taking the opportunity to eliminate the opposition forces. But on the other hand, he didn't know that there were few powerful ministers like him who had a good ending in ancient times. Even if he was alive and had a lifetime of power, it was only a temporary momentum. After he was behind him, the emperor would not remember his contributions when he was alive, so he was very confused!

Not only is he confused, but he is more of a fear from the heart. This fear has never happened before. Although before that, Zhang Juzheng had expected one day to take over power, but now he has become in a fear he has never experienced before.

After the initial anger, Zhang Juzheng sighed and shook his head and said.

"Zhiyuan, do you know why I am so angry?"

Looking at Shi Yiwen, Zhang Juzheng's eyes seemed a little complicated. He has always admired this young man. Now there is a deeper relationship between the two, but...

"Are you worried about the future?"

Although he had not married Tang Ziqi yet, Shi Yiwen still used this title.

Nodded silently, Zhang Juzheng sighed and said.

"I am not worried when I am alive, but I cannot help but worry about what is happening behind me."

Looking at Shi Yiwen, Zhang Juzheng said with a serious expression.

"Fu Zuozhou told me your thoughts in the letter. If it were a few days ago, I would have rejected you without hesitation, but now it is different..."

He closed his eyes in pain, and Zhang Juzheng sighed.

"People are selfish, and the same is true for you. Why do you want to go to Southeast Asia to find a place for those people?"

With a sarcastic hum, Zhang Juzheng once again turned his attention to Shi Yiwen and did not continue to say anything.

"You went to Nanyang this time to taste it? I heard that you built a city there, it's called Nantianmen."

“Everything went well.”

Nodded, Shi Yiwen replied.

"It's almost impossible to accommodate 300,000 or 400,000 people in the local area, but, in the current situation, there are probably not so many people. After all, it's different now than before..."

Facing Zhang Juzheng's gaze, Shi Yiwen knew that all those people could not be exiled to the Nantian Gate. After all, there were dozens of vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty. Those vassal kings were vassals in Nanyang and also needed talents. These vassal officials were talents. Perhaps they tried every means to stop the reform, but they were indeed talents. For them, becoming officials of vassal kings was undoubtedly the best result. Many of them would inevitably be used by vassal kings, which was not a good thing for themselves.

"oh,"

Zhang Juzheng did not take on this topic. He just glanced at Shi Yiwen and said.

"That's how I count it, this trip to Southeast Asia has gained a lot."

Nodding slightly, Zhang Juzheng stared at Shi Yiwen and said.
Chapter completed!
