As long as Wang Zhi doesn't come back, no one dares to move his family. What's more, Jin Yiwei takes care of him secretly. Lu Bing and Sun Quan can't figure out why Wang Zhi is coming back? If something happens to him, wouldn't his son and "family" be more dangerous
"Is it the previous mission to Japan?" Lu Bing thought for a while and asked, "Is there any news?"
"There's not much news, Hu Zongxian still wants to recruit him, but it is not once or twice that Hu Zongxian wants to recruit him, and he doesn't care about it! Moreover, he doesn't need him when he is an envoy!" Sun Quan thought for a while, but couldn't lead him: "He did come back with the Japanese envoy... Maybe he was homesick?"
Sun Quan's conjecture was really close to some facts, but both he and Lu Bing only regarded this sentence as a gag joke instead of thinking deeply about it.
Lu Bing also couldn't think of a clue. He is now full of thoughts on dealing with the mess in Beijing.
Although Peng Fan's memorial was approved by Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing did not put his thoughts on it, and the Yan family would not self-destruct, so naturally there was no way to carry it out.
Now that the fight against corruption has just begun, it can have some effects, all with the help of Lu Bing's power to promote, supervise, and execute. He has to manage this level well, and he can't give up halfway, or he will definitely give up all his efforts.
Moreover, Lu Bing plans to strike while the iron is hot when things are about to be dealt with, and put forward two more advices to ensure the intensity of cleansing the government.
"Isn't Zhu Liu still in the south of the Yangtze River?" Lu Bing said with a smile: "Fortunately, he hasn't come back yet, so I told him, let him see our little brother, why are you here?"
…
Before the news of Lu Bing reached Zhu Liu, Zhu Liu had already arrived in Ningbo.
During this time, Wang Zhi was not idle either. He and Ye Zongman, who was aliased by Bichuan, secretly deployed spies and looked around.
The information returned by the spies made the two more worried.
Lu Boring, Qi Jiguang and other generals actually appeared in Ningbo.
Wang Zhi sent Wang Chang to ask Hu Zongxian to explain.
Wang Huan told Hu Zongxian: "I'll wait for my order to come, and Hu Gongying will send an envoy to greet me, and now Chen Junrong is Sheng, is Hu Gong me?"
The Hu Zongxian faction commanded Xia Zheng and his cousin Fang Dazhong to go to the Wang Zhi boat and repeatedly explained that Lu Hang, Qi Jiguang and others were here just to welcome Wang Zhi and turn fighting into a jade silk. It was not unreasonable.
But Wang Zhi and Ye Zongman didn't believe it. They were on guard all day long, ready to withdraw at any time, and only let Wang Chong communicate with the two parties.
There was a stalemate until Zhu Liu came to Ningbo, and Zhang Mo followed. Hu Zongxian, Zhu Liu, and Zhang Mo sat together to discuss the matter.
Hu Zongxian took the lead and hurriedly said to Zhu Liu: "Master Zhu, if this continues, I'm afraid I will miss the opportunity!"
"What do you want me to do?" Zhu Liu was somewhat indifferent.
"As long as Lord Zhu is willing to come forward, Wang Zhi will definitely get off the boat." Hu Zongxian frowned and said, "Even if it is a book revision!"
Zhu Liu shook his head and categorically refused: "If I came forward, it would have revealed my intentions." Zhu Liu looked at Hu Zongxian mockingly and said, "Are you treating Lu Bing as a fool or me?"
Zhang Mo also saw that Hu Zongxian wanted to push Zhu Liu to the opposite of Lu Bing as soon as possible, but it was obviously inappropriate to expose Zhu Liu’s intentions so quickly. It should be fatal to Lu Bing after getting more favorable conditions. At the first blow, let Zhu Liu make another move.
Of course Lu Bing is not a fool. If Lu Bing senses something is wrong, he will act first, I am afraid that no one will benefit.
Therefore, Zhang Mo also opened the mouth and said: "For Wang Zhi, to expose Lord Zhu, this is Gu Xiao's loss of greatness. There is Lord Zhu in Jinyiwei who will cover for us. It will be more convenient for us to act."
"Yes." Zhu Liu sneered: "If I hadn't intercepted the "message", the matter of you dispatching troops to ambush Wang Zhi would have been passed to the capital long ago!"
"Then what do you guys say?" Hu Zongxian said displeased: "If it's been a long time, it will be exposed sooner or later. Maybe Wang Zhi is now preparing to return to Japan!"
Zhang Mo thought for a while, and said, "You can send more important officials to persuade."
"What kind of official counts as weighty?" Hu Zongxian sneered: "This southeast chief has the most weight, do you want this master to go in person?"
After hearing what Zhang Mo said, Zhu Liu also thought about it, and said with a smile: "Master Hu is the body of a daughter, of course, you can't take it lightly. But... Isn't there a commander Lu Jiang under the adult? It must be enough."
Hu Zongxian changed color and said, "You let a soldier go to meet the pirates? Lord Lu will definitely not go.
"This... I can't help him." Zhu Liu smiled strangely, and Hu Zongxian suddenly shuddered. It seems that Lu Gang also has a handle in Jin Yiwei... Jin Yiwei controls... What if Jin Yiwei let Lu Kang deal with him? Will Lu Gang...
Hu Zongxian did not dare to think further.
"At the same time, we can cut in from the Japanese." Zhang Mo continued: "The Japanese envoys came to Daming, not for the business and tribute, we can promise him first, let him push Wang Zhi to come... when necessary , You can let them also shoot and capture Wang Zhi!"
"I'm afraid it won't work." Hu Zongxian shook his head and said: "There are only a few dozen Japanese, and they can't deal with Wang Zhi's pirate army. Moreover, Wang Zhi is very powerful in Japan. They may not dare to offend Wang Zhi."
"Even so, let them persuade Wang Zhi in the name of Yuanyi Town, they will always be a little more confident." Zhang Mo continued: "In addition... we will make some more promises!"
"How to add it?" Hu Zongxian asked.
Zhang Mo thought for a while, and said, "Xu him as the governor, give him a title in charge of maritime trade!"
"It's a big deal... I can't be the master." Hu Zongxian's face changed when he heard it: "I have to ask the palace for opinions."
Zhang Mo disagreed, shook his head and said: "It takes too much time to come to the capital, and there are many nights and dreams, so it is very likely that it will be leaked along the way. This is just a name, just wait for Wang Zhi to go ashore, take it in one fell swoop Next, the promised things will naturally not count, and there will be no opinions in the palace at that time."
Hu Zongxian reluctantly said: "Even so, but such a big reward, even if I said, Wang Zhi won't believe it?"
"Things need to be done bit by bit." Zhu Liu smiled and said: "Do it first, and see the results before thinking about what to do next."
"Okay..." Hu Zongxian nodded reluctantly.
After the negotiation was made, Zhu Liu asked Hu Zongxian to invite Lu Gang to come, saying that he would persuade him personally.
