    Wanli's thinking, to put it another way, is that as a winner, he wants to see how Zhang Jing lives a miserable life as a loser. It is best to live a life worse than death, in order to reflect his victory as a king.  .  Originally, criminals like Zhang Jing were not allowed to see outsiders to prevent him from talking nonsense.  It's just that Zheng Guobao has the emperor's mandate and is a powerful figure in the Jinyi Guard. Who can stop him?  The prison where Zhang Jing is imprisoned is the worst and darkest place in the imperial prison.  It was humid all year round and there was no sunlight. In order to facilitate conversation, Jin Yiwei deliberately lit many more oil lamps, so he could barely see anyone.  There were no beds in this room, just a pile of grass piled in the corner, which served as a resting place.  Knowing that Zhang Jing was highly skilled in martial arts, the first thing he did after entering prison was to pick on his muscles and turn him into a cripple.  As soon as the time passed, Zhang Jing's whole person became sluggish and lost his energy.  Seeing Zheng Guobao coming, Zhang Jing reluctantly sat up and said, "Why, uncle Guo is following the will of the Heavenly Family to see how miserable the old slave is? I used to do this kind of work, but now I have to do it."  This is retribution, retribution. I did too many bad things back then, and it¡¯s time for me to suffer.¡± Zheng Guobao didn¡¯t answer his words, and just told the jailer, ¡°Prepare some good wine and meat, I¡¯ll have a drink with Eunuch Zhang.¡±  Cup." Zhang Jing tremblingly picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After chewing hard for a long time, he still spit it out.  "It's over, I can't eat anymore. My teeth have been pulled out, my gums are full of holes, and the flesh hurts when I grind them. I can't eat anything." He grabbed the cup and drank a few glasses of wine. "This  Damn wine. In the past, I wouldn¡¯t have even wanted to look at it. Now if Uncle Guo hadn¡¯t come, I wouldn¡¯t be able to drink it. " "Eunuch Zhang, to be honest, if I had fallen into your hands,  I'm afraid it will be worse than you are now. So I am not going to pity you for this matter. I can only say that you brought it on yourself. " "Who says it's not the case? I heard that my nephew was eventually sentenced to exile in Yunnan.  I have to thank Uncle Guo for being true to his words. You are better than me. If we had changed positions, I would not have kept this promise and left trouble to seek revenge on me in the future." "He is nothing.  Harm? If I am afraid of people like this, why should I stay awake every day?  . I have offended too many people. I am afraid that I will not bite you if I have too many lice. I don¡¯t have to worry if I have too many debts. I don¡¯t know how many people will die if they curse me every day. Let them go.  You have such a big heart, but I¡¯m still not as good as you. I¡¯m in prison and I don¡¯t have anyone to talk to. Please tell me, uncle, are there any ministers who want to use force against Bozhou as soon as possible?  I guess it's time for someone to take action. Once this happens, whoever dares to make peace will be on the road to death. It seems that this battle is inevitable. But let's be honest.  The old slave really doesn't support the fight. There are so many chieftains in the Ming Dynasty. Just talk about the Yang family in Bozhou. He is surrounded by chieftain forces. If he beats Yang Yinglong, what will the other chieftains think?  , rose up in rebellion, and the Ming Dynasty was plagued by wars, all the money in the treasury had to be stolen. I myself did not regard myself as a good person, but in this matter, I didn¡¯t accept Bozhou¡¯s gold.  Agree to fight. I sent people to blow up the gunpowder depot at Wang Gong Factory, just because I don¡¯t want the court to continue on this path. If we continue to build guns, train new troops, and use force abroad, the treasury will be insufficient and the court will definitely attack the gentry.  In the future, the family will not be able to escape the name of a faint king. " "Eunuch Zhang is still worried about state affairs at this time. I admire him, but I only have one idea. He can be beaten with one punch, and he will not have to change his position.  It is what the imperial court must do. Those chieftains can either choose to obey the imperial court and keep their glory and wealth, or they can only choose to die and join forces secretly.  Qualified to live in this world. This time the chieftains were defeated, and they did not dare to raise troops to resist the exiled officials. They knew that they should hand over their power obediently. I heard that there was a man named Mang Ying.  If he knows something, just stay with me and listen to my instructions, and spit out the territory he has usurped. Otherwise, I don¡¯t mind taking the team to visit him and take care of him.  People's livelihood issues. It is enough that there is only one hero in the world, the emperor. The other heroes are just digging their own graves.  Not to mention the bad impact that Yang Yinglong's things have caused. Since he started to do something to cheer for the election, I had to cut off his head.  " Zhang Jing sighed, "Uncle Guo is really ambitious, and I admire him.  It's not unjust for me to fall into your hands.  I just hope that uncle Guo, you will think carefully about how much money it will cost and how many people will die to do the things you mentioned.  Believe me, there must be many people in the court taking notes in small notebooks. When one day they find the opportunity, these contributions you have made will contribute to the Ming Dynasty.As a person, the money you spend is the soil on your grave.  " "Don't worry about my father-in-law, Zheng is sure that when the time comes, even if I can't stand up, I will drag those people to die together.  Furthermore, I don¡¯t think those scholars are so capable of dragging me into hell.  The most they can do is scold me, ruin my reputation, and make me and my descendants bear the name of a sycophant, unable to enter their circle.  But so what?  I never care about reputation or evaluation. All I care about is Tianjia's attitude and whether I can get enough money. Nothing else matters.  " In the Forbidden City, listening to Zheng Guobao's return, Wanli's expression darkened again. "You said that although the old slave was in prison, he was living a pretty good life?  Full of energy, but just waiting to die?  " Zheng Guobao knew that the emperor was nostalgic. Back then, Feng Baofei was so domineering that he even dared to withhold the treasures given to Duke Cheng. If Zhang Jing lived such a miserable life, what if the emperor had a kind heart or simply wanted to see it?  Seeing that he was desperate for life, it would be very bad to postpone the execution. He simply deliberately made Zhang Jing's situation better and confirmed the emperor's murderous intention. "That's right, he is in prison now.  No freedom and poor conditions.  But he didn't suffer any serious sins and was full of energy.  When I left, he drank a few glasses of wine with me and chatted for a while. His mind was very clear and his mood was very stable. He didn't cry or curse the Tian family.  " Wanli snorted, "He committed such a heinous crime and is already a dead man counting days to live.  Those Tiqi still made him live so comfortably because they were afraid that one day he would retaliate and take revenge.  No matter what, I will relieve their worries and pass on the decree. Three days later, Zhang Jingwan will be cut into pieces at the Xisi Archway.  This time those Jinyi officers and schools should rest assured and do whatever they are told to do.  " On the day of Zhang Jing's execution, the people who were watching crowded the Xisi Archway. Zhang Jing has been in power for many years, and his enemies are all over the capital. This time he took the opportunity to relieve his hatred. Zhang Jing had already cut his tongue when he was released from prison. What did he say?  He couldn't say anything, he could only make meaningless noises. On the supervisory stage, Zheng Guobao, Zhang Cheng, and Xu Wenbi were in charge of supervision. Zhang Cheng felt very proud as he watched his old opponent fall.  When he checked for adverse labor this time, he only took 1% of it, which was simply a loss-making business, in order to replace Zhang Jing in the future. He diligently served Zheng Guobao tea and said, "Look.  It's really fun to watch this old guy today.  Thinking about how domineering he was back then, have you ever thought about what would happen to him now?  " Zheng Guobao sighed and thought to himself: If one day he loses, the number of people who come to watch will probably be several times more than today. If he doesn't want to get to that point, he will have to keep winning.  Half a month later, the important matter was basically completed. Wang Guoguang and other old Jiangling members also came to Beijing and were re-employed. These people also knew that they would be credited to the Zheng family for their transformation.  The party naturally took care of the officials arranged by the Zheng family. The public opinion in the court gradually became unified, and a total of more than 40 major crimes of the Yang family in Bozhou were compiled, which was enough for the emperor to issue an edict.  The newly promoted governor Zheng Guobao was appointed governor of the military and administrative affairs of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and was fully responsible for the conquest of Bozhou. He gave Shang Fang a sword and a royal flag.  On the day of the expedition, Wanli took a few steps to bid farewell to the army, gave him three cups of wine, and took out the poem that his grandfather had given to Mao Bowen.  With slight changes, it was presented to Zheng Guobao: The general went to war with courage and courage. The wild goose feather sword in the autumn water was blown by the wind. The mountains and rivers were blown by the wind, and the lightning flashed and the flags were high. The sun and the moon were high. How could the ants in the burrow of the unicorn in the sky escape? I will be with the general in peace, waiting for the imperial edict to return.  Unlocking the Armor (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
