Chapter 105: A peak battle against the monarch!

Translator: 549690339

After hearing his father’s words, Zhang Jin was shocked.

However, at home, his father had absolute authority. No matter how bold and imaginative he was, Zhang Jin could not openly question him.

However, he did not want Shen lang to become his brother-in-law.

“What about Zhu Wenhua from the Lanshan Viscount’s residence?” Zhang Pu said.

Zhang Ye asked,”he and Chunhua aren’t even engaged?” A woman should be waiting for the right price, what’s so strange about that?”

“Then we’ll have completely offended Viscount Zhu Lanting,” Zhang Pu said.

“What’s the most expensive thing now? A talent!” “If I can get a talent like Shen lang, what’s the big deal about offending Viscount Zhu Lanting?” Zhang Ye said.

Following that, Zhang Ye waved his hand and said,”alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.”

“Father, what about our next attack on the palace of the Earl?” Zhang Jin asked.

“Continue, but temporarily.” Zhang Ye said,”it’s not strange that the king of Nan ou has the intention to rebel. His father has been killed by someone, and his hundred-year foundation is about to be snatched away. Of course he’ll rebel.” However, their rhythm was disrupted, and they reversed in advance, causing this huge storm.”

Zhang Ji was well aware of the emperor’s intentions.

He would marry his daughter, Princess Ning Luo, to the king of Nan ou, Jin Jun. After giving birth to a son, Jin Jun would die of illness without anyone knowing. Then, the Crown Prince would be the new king, and Princess Ning Luo would be the Regent.

In this way, the Nan ou country could be considered to have completely fallen into the hands of the Yue country.

However, Jin Jun rebelled in advance and completely tore her face apart.

The fairy tale had become a complete lie.

The entire state of Yue would be shaken, and the political situation would change drastically.

the first Memorial to the new government was sent by this monarch Jin, ” Zhang Jin asked worriedly. now that she’s rebelling, will there be a change in the new government? ”

“It won’t repeat.” Zhang Ye said, ” the new policy is the will of the monarch. It has nothing to do with the monarch. Even the memorial he sent back then was full of evil intentions.

“The new policies won’t repeat, but the rhythm may change.” Zhang Ji continued,’uncle Black Tortoise will definitely not let go of this opportunity. He will submit a memorial requesting the monarch to completely defeat you in terms of reputation. On the surface, they’re fighting for a new policy.”

uncle Xuanwu is such a conservative person, ” Zhang Jin said. why would he go against the monarch? ”

don’t underestimate uncle Xuanwu, ” Zhang Ye said. even though he’s not the most talented, he’s determined and decisive. He’s also very impressive.

but to a certain extent, ” Zhang Jin said, ” isn’t this a slap to the monarch’s face? ”

“Yeah, but so what?” Zhang Ye said,”the king’s knife is already at uncle Xuanwu’s neck, and you’re not even allowing anyone to fight back?” Jin Jun is a flag erected by the country’s ruler, a glorious flag. Now that this flag has fallen, of course, people will take the opportunity to step on it. ”

Zhang Pu still found it unbelievable.

That’s the monarch?

The relationship between the ruler and his subject was greater than the heavens.

Zhang Ye said,”the relationship between the ruler and his subject is greater than the heavens. It seems like this saying is true.” However, a few hundred years ago, the Jin Corporation and the ning Corporation were partners. This land was established by him, not bestowed by the ning clan. Now that the king wants to take it back, of course they have to risk their lives.”

Zhang Pu looked at his father in shock. He was actually speaking from uncle Xuanwu’s point of view.

“A politician should be free from the emotions of love and hate.” Zhang Ye said,”one’s position determines one’s mind. I understand uncle Xuanwu.” However, I am the knife in the hands of the king. I will stab whoever he wants me to stab. I will not sympathize with him out of understanding. Instead, I will stab him even more ruthlessly. There is only one word in the eyes of a ruler, profit!”

“Many thanks for father’s teachings.” “Then what do you think the contest between uncle Xuanwu and the monarch will be like?” Zhang Jin asked.

“If I’m not wrong, uncle Black Tortoise should be sending two memorials,” Zhang Ye said.

“The first Memorial is to request the monarch to completely defeat Jin Jun in terms of reputation. Although this is a slap to the monarch’s face, I’m sure he’ll agree. After all, you’ve already rebelled, and if we don’t completely knock him down in honor, it won’t be right to kill you.”

the second Memorial, the Earl of Xuanwu will report to the monarch, saying that Li Wen Zheng colluded with you and participated in the rebellion. He will ask you to punish him.

these two memorials are the most crucial because they will be the signal whether the new governance will be suspended or not. They are related to the political situation of the entire Yue State.

Li Wen Zheng doesn’t have that much power, does he? ” Zhang Jin said in disbelief. although he’s a second-rank candidate and a silver-robed patrol envoy, he’s still a nobody without any background.

this is the charm of politics. You can see the general picture from the minute details. “A direct confrontation is too intense, and there’s no room for retreat,” Zhang Ye said. Thus, I chose to test him on a small character and event, to see the big picture with the small.”

Every time this happened, Zhang Pu would feel that he had a good father who could teach him in politics.

Therefore, although Zhang Pu had suffered losses time and time again, he would not make an irreparable mistake at the critical moment.

if the monarch executed li wenzheng, it would mean that he had made some compromises and the new governance would be suspended. “If the monarch doesn’t execute li wenzheng, does it mean that the new governance will continue, or even become more intense?” Zhang Ye asked.

Zhang Jin said, ” you rebelled, and a war broke out. You should ease the internal conflicts. Why did you intensify the pace of the new policies? ”

Zhang Ye said, ” you’re being too dogmatic by thinking like that. Politics is not static. It’s like the wind and water. It’s just going with the flow. It was true that the monarch had rebelled and caused a sudden war, but what if the monarch treated this battlefield as a meat grinder? What if it’s a place for the old nobles to bleed?”

the country is rebelling, and these old nobles have the responsibility to send troops. “What if the king issues an edict and orders these old-school nobles to mobilize their troops to the South to suppress the rebellion, and then completely exhaust these private armies?” Zhang che asked.

“But it’s very dangerous,” Zhang Pu said.

“Yes, it’s very dangerous.” “If you’re not a brilliant chess player, you won’t be able to grasp the proper balance and will very likely get yourself into trouble,” Zhang Ye said.

At that time, Yang Guang, the Emperor of sui yang, had used the Goryeo battlefield as a chessboard in order to consume the power of the aristocrats. He had made the aristocrats bleed on the battlefield and consumed astronomical resources.

In the end, he screwed up. Not only did he die, but the Sui Dynasty also died for two generations.

Zhang Ye said,”so let’s wait and see if the king is willing to execute li wenzheng.” This is the most crucial signal for the State of Yue’s upcoming political situation!”

......

In the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

The Earl had already written two memorials.

The first one was to report to the monarch that he had completely defeated Jin Jun in terms of reputation and labeled her as a rebel.

The second one was to expose the involvement of the silver-robed patrol envoy, Li Wen Zheng, in Jun Jin’s rebellion. The monarch is to be punished as a warning to others.

lang ‘er, ” the Earl said, ” take a look at these two memorials. Is there a problem? ”

Shen lang took it and read through it. He read it with the intention of learning.

He was very smart and powerful, but when it came to political details, the Earl was still the best.

After looking at it, Shen lang said, ” father-in-law, if I’m not wrong, the monarch will agree to the first Memorial. Even if it’s a slap in the face. The key lies in this second Memorial. If the monarch execute li wenzheng, it means that in order to ease the internal conflicts and focus on pacifying the rebellion in the South, the monarch will make some compromises with us, and the new governance will be put on hold.”

The Earl nodded in agreement.

Shen lang continued, ” if the monarch doesn’t execute li wenzheng, it means that the new governance will continue. It might even intensify. If there’s a rebellion outside, in order to intimidate the old aristocratic families in the country, the king will be even more vicious and reveal his sharp claws.”

This was like The Lion King, who was usually lazy and looked down on you.

However, if he encountered an external enemy, he might choose to appease his younger brothers at home.

However, it was also possible that he would choose to kill the disobedient fellow at home as a warning to others so that no one would dare to act rashly.

Thus, it was uncle Black Tortoise’s turn to weigh the pros and cons.

If these two memorials were not sent out, then nothing would happen, but it would make the Jin family seem weak, easy to bully, mediocre and incompetent.

If these two memorials were sent out, it would be a game with the monarch, and there would be a certain risk.

If it were most people, they would definitely not send out these two memorials for fear of incurring the king’s thunderous anger.

But,

Was he going to use it again just because he was showing weakness?

It’s useless, you’ll die even faster.

Have you ever seen a rabbit surrender on the ground, and the Tiger doesn’t eat it?

Of course not.

Whether a Tiger would eat a rabbit or not depended entirely on whether he was hungry or not.

“Go!” Uncle Black Tortoise slammed his palm on the table and said, ” “This land was built by my Jin family’s ancestors, not given by the ning family. What right does he have to take it away as he wishes? I, Jin Zhuo, may not have much ability, but I’m not a coward.”

Shen lang bowed to his father-in-law.

“Don’t worry, father-in-law. I still have a backup plan, and it’s an extremely vicious one.”

15 minutes later!

A group of cavalrymen rushed out of the palace of the Earl. They brought the two memorials from the Earl of Xuanwu and headed for the capital.

Why do you think uncle Black Tortoise didn’t personally go to the capital?

I’m sorry, without the emperor’s decree, these old nobles are not allowed to enter the capital without permission.

......

Zhang Chunhua was the most beautiful and talented woman in Nujiang County.

Of course, our Mulan is still not in the ranking.

Unlike Mulan, Zhang Chunhua was more of a traditional beauty. She was as slender as a Willow.

Only her oval-shaped face was exquisite.

To describe it in one word, it was a Fox.

She really did have such a face, so she was at a disadvantage.

Zhang Ji looked up to his daughter and sighed deeply.

This daughter, ah, her sin was that she was too beautiful.

Of course, being too beautiful wasn’t a big deal. The key was her temperament.

Marrying a virtuous wife, taking in concubines and women.

With her daughter’s femme fatale-like appearance, she could not marry the king’s son, or even the Governor-General’s son.

There was no other way. All these years, Zhang Ji could only try his best to use poetry to wash away the aura on her body.

He had spent a lot of effort to make her the number one talented woman in the Nu River. She had become the idol and role model of all the young ladies from prestigious families.

However, Yingying was only in front of other people.

At this moment, the most talented woman was lazily leaning on the chair in front of her father, her legs crossed.

Lord Zhang Ji’s eyelids kept twitching. He doted on his daughter the most, but every time he saw her, he couldn’t help but want to discipline her.

His two sons were very steady and obedient, except for his precious daughter.

He was smart, cunning, and mischievous.

“Have you read this book before?” Zhang Ye pointed at the “endless moon and wind” on the table.

ten times. You can recite it now. Father, do you want me to recite a paragraph to relieve your boredom? ” Zhang Chunhua said lazily.

Zhang Chunhua then recited a paragraph.

Zhang Ye’s eyelids twitched when he heard that. He frowned and said,”Alright, you’re a girl and you’re so unruly, what’s wrong with you?”

Zhang Chunhua asked,”how could he have one?” I haven’t even touched half a finger of mine. In front of outsiders, she’s a textbook example of a young lady from a prestigious family, okay? She’s the number one ladylike person.”

“What do you think of this book?” Zhang Ye asked.

“Good, very good, very good.” “I’ll be relying on it to survive for the next few days,” Zhang Chunhua said.

“Have you heard of the author of this book, Shen lang?” Zhang Ye asked.

“We’ve known each other for a long time,” Zhang Chunhua replied.

Lord Zhang Ji’s eyelids trembled again.

It was already very rare for him to be able to hold back and not hit such a daughter.

Zhang Ye said,”I want you to get close to Shen lang. If there’s a chance, draw him to my side.” He and Jin Mulan aren’t a real couple yet, and he’s just a lowly live-in son-in-law.”

“Father, I finally don’t have to marry that trash, Zhu Wenhua?” Zhang Chunhua was overjoyed. I’m good at this, I’ll go immediately.”

Zhang Ji felt his scalp go numb again.

“This is a very serious matter,” Zhang Ji said seriously.”This isn’t just about roping in a talent, it’s also related to your marriage, Yingluo.”

At that moment, Zhang Chunhua felt uncomfortable sitting there, so she laid back lazily on the large chair.

if you judge that Shen lang can entrust his life to you, you can be braver. If not, don’t force yourself. Zhang Ye said.

Zhang Chunhua peeled an orange and said in a sweet voice, ” “I know. Come, father, eat some oranges.”

Her slender hand brought the orange petal to Zhang Ji’s mouth.

“I’m not eating.” Zhang Ye said with a straight face.

daddy!!!!! Zhang Chunhua was rendered speechless as she twisted her body.

Zhang Ye had no choice but to eat the orange in her hand.

“Aiya, I almost forgot. I just used this hand to pick up the dog shit for Wang Cai.” Zhang Chunhua said coyly.

Zhang Ye was helpless. He waved his hand and said, ” let’s go! Let’s go!

Zhang Chunhua leaped up and with a light tap of her foot, she flew out of the window and landed in the courtyard.

“Recruit that male Fox, Shen lang? Interesting, very interesting.”

Following that, Zhang Chunhua’s charming expression disappeared and she instantly transformed into a young lady from a prestigious family. She was reserved and her every move, smile, and frown were filled with the elegance of a lady.

Then, she went back to her room to pack her things.

Two hours later, a carriage left Nujiang city and headed toward Xuanwu city.

........................

The memorial had been sent out!

The entire Xuanwu city, and even the entire Nujiang County, fell into a strange silence.

Uncle Xuanwu and Zhang Ji, the two important figures, were lying dormant quietly. They were like a Wolf and a leopard, bending down and retracting their claws.

They were waiting for the signal from the capital, waiting for the emperor’s decree.

Then, he was ready to rush out and kill at any time!

This was probably the true feeling of listening to Thunder in silence?

In this rare moment of peace and quiet, Shen lang became relaxed.

Nothing happened.

However, Shen Lang’s eyelids kept twitching as he felt that something was going to happen!

His left eyelid jumped with fortune while his right eyelid jumped with disaster.

But what was the meaning of his left and right eyelids twitching at the same time?

One day later!

Jin Zhong reported with a strange expression.

“Son-in-law, miss, Governor Zhang Ji’s daughter, Zhang Chunhua, has come to pay a visit to son-in-law!”
