"Hold on!" Ye Zongman on the side spoke again, and he said to Wang Zhi: "Shipowner, don't worry, it is not a trivial matter to see Master Hu. You must prepare well and choose more gifts to keep your courtesy."
Wang Zhi frowned and pulled Ye Zongman aside, somewhat dissatisfied: "What are you doing? Xia Zhengdu is here, and their sincerity has also been seen. We don't hurry ashore... Isn't this ignorance of praise? …". Wang Zhi motioned Ye Zongman to look at Xia Zhengdao, who was sipping tea at Zheng Antai: "This Master Xia is so open, if we are still so unprofitable, I... I am called Huiwang, dominate the seas of thousands of miles, so in front of him... twisted , It's really embarrassing!"
"Face or death!" Ye Zongman said grimly: "The more he is like this, the more I feel wrong. You Wang Zhi is really so important? Why do they try their best to let you go ashore? And they dare to open their mouths and promise you any benefits? The emperor Lao'er would agree? If it is so important, why is there no news from Master Lu? What's inside... is really strange!"
"You..." Wang Zhi stopped talking, but Lu Bing had never heard from him. It was indeed a thorn in his heart.
At this moment, Xia Zheng, pretending to be concentrating on tea, holding a teacup, and seeing the hesitation on Wang Zhi's face through the gap between the teacup and the lid, he couldn't help but sneer.
Fortunately, before coming, the adults had told him that this might happen.
The three adults inferred that Wang Zhi might have to ask for more conditions, or he would still not disembark.
The adults also gave a solution.
Xia Zheng "cough and cough" twice, cleared his throat, and then said loudly: "Ship Master Wang, it's not the officer who urged... you better prepare quickly."
When Wang Zhi heard Xia Zheng open his mouth to remind him, he could no longer whisper to Ye Zongman. He walked out embarrassedly, pretending to be nonchalant, and said with a smile: "This... Let's discuss what to prepare for the adults." The gift is good."
"Oh, shipowner Wang, it's easy to talk about gifts or gifts." Xia Zheng sighed and said: "It's true that the officer has been unable to convince you to go ashore, so that the officer does not know how many complaints you have caused and how many little shoes you wear , How many melons have you eaten."
Xia Zheng sighed, looking unlucky, and said: "This time you asked a Ming official to be a hostage. The adults originally strongly disagreed. My Ming's General Lu Gang, Qi Jiguang, etc., also all. They were very angry, saying that they heard that Wang Chuan mainly submitted to the court, abandoned the dark and turned to the bright. They all admired that the owner was a hero and hero, so they came to Ningbo to greet the owner to show respect for the owner. However, the owner of the boat refused to go ashore. I have come over and over again and again, and Master Hu has revised the book many times, and even Master Lu has come in person, but you still refuse to give face, and you also asked Da Ming noble officials to be hostages. This is an insult to my Da Ming. The generals strongly expressed that you must Wash away the shame."
When Wang Zhi heard it, his face was a little ugly and a little unhappy, but he felt that he was wrong and was not very angry.
Xia Zheng did not wait for him to get angry, but continued: "But the officer did not think so. The officer and the owner of the ship have had more contact, knowing that the owner of the ship is also a straightforward person. Chao was bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope' means." Xia Zheng deliberately bit the word "fear" harder, and Wang Zhi's face really couldn't hold it anymore.
Xia Zheng continued to say to himself: "The official really doesn't want to fight anymore. It is inevitable that some people will die at that time, so why bother. So the official offered to be a hostage. But the adults still refused to agree. Instead, he scolded him and lost Daming’s face. But the official insisted, and showed that for both sides to be able to turn fighting into jade, fewer soldiers can die, and to save some expenses for Daming, the official is willing to bear the shame alone. In the end, the official is willing to bear the shame. After repeated requests, the adults reluctantly agreed to let me come."
"Thank you Master Xia for your trust..." Wang Zhi said embarrassedly, trying to resolve the embarrassment.
However, Xia Zheng waved his hand and said, "In fact, this faculty sympathizes with the adults, and the officials are scolded by them, so why are they also blamed by the people above? Shipowner Wang is a famous overseas man, and now he is willing to return to China. It’s not much worse than Kaijiang’s broken soil. I don’t know how many adults are staring at it. Now that the adults agree to return to China, this good news has been played by the court soon, and the court has also praised it. But who would have thought that the shipowner arrived in China, But he refused to go ashore. Didn't this put all the nobles in the capital out there?"
Xia Zheng said that it was a critical juncture, secretly observing Wang Zhi’s expression, but his mouth did not stop, and he said naturally and smoothly: “I heard that a great figure in Jingli has already sent someone to see what’s going on and why. He agreed to recruit security, but he has been reluctant to go ashore or enter Beijing. It is also because of this that the talents of Hu will become more and more anxious and hope that the adults will land as soon as possible. I also want to prevent the adults from Beijing from coming, Hu and Jiangnan. The faces of all the adults are not good, can't you?"
As soon as Wang Zhi heard that someone from Beijing was coming, he took a halt and asked hurriedly: "Dare to ask Master Xia, which adult is from Jingli?"
"This..." Xia Zheng hesitated, looking hard to say.
Wang Zhi asked again and again. Xia Zhengcai gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He made up his mind and whispered in a low voice, "It's fine. Now that I have said everything, I will explain to the owner of the boat, so that the owner of the boat will not make mistakes... A big man angered him, and everyone will be upset by the time... This is considered confidential, it shouldn't be said... After listening to the shipowner Wang, he can rest assured, but don't say what the official said, but continue to pretend It’s better if you don’t know."
"It must be." Wang Zhi promised, vowing. Ye Zongman and Wang Chao also pricked their ears and listened carefully.
"I don't know if it's true, but I just listened to it by accident." Xia Zhengshen said mysteriously: "I heard that it is the most powerful adult in Jingli, the first confidant of his men."
"The most powerful adult in Beijing?" Wang Zhijiu was overseas. He knew that Lu Bing was great, but he didn't know if he was the best. He wondered if the best was not the emperor
But after listening to Xia Zheng’s tone, Wang Zhi could actually vaguely feel...
Wang Zhi was slightly excited. If that adult is already the best... No, that adult has always been the best!
Sure enough, Xia Zheng saw that Wang Zhi still didn't understand, and he slapped his thigh and said: "The most powerful adult in Beijing is of course the uncle in Jinyiwei who overpowered the "Prime Minister"! Who else is in this world? Power, is there an emperor’s pro-army guards who are powerful?"
