Chapter 225 of Xiaoge Lao’s main text: The front party Chongwenmen Street, the unique courtyard of the Sanjin Guild Hall.

It is already March, and the flowers are blooming in the yard, magnolias and begonias attract bees and butterflies, lilac roses, fighting for beauty, the faint fragrance floats, which is intoxicating.

In such a season, Yang Bo, Wang Guoguang, Wang Jiaping, Yang Si and a few old Xier would naturally not stay in the room with poor lighting and eat noodles. Wouldn't that waste this great spring scenery?

So they changed to eating noodles in the yard.

There are still knife-cut noodles, hand-rolled noodles, ramen, fried noodles... more than a dozen types of noodles. Old vinegar, rice vinegar, laba vinegar, balsamic vinegar, white vinegar... more than a dozen bottles of vinegar, and a braided garlic.

Yang Bo threw the peeled garlic into a bowl, then poured half a bottle of old vinegar ton, and started to slither happily.

Wang Guoguang and the other two also buried their heads in eating noodles, sweating profusely, and none of them made a sound.

Shanxi people do not speak when eating noodles, because they are cherishing food, and because they are afraid of choking the noodles into their nostrils.

After a while, a large bowl of soup and noodles was dried up, and Yang Bo picked up the handkerchief on the table to wipe his sweat. "Ironing..."

"Uncle, Brother Botong means to ask Mr. Shu'an to bring a message to Mr. Zhang..." Yang Sihe also finished eating the noodles and could finally continue talking. "So that Mr. Zhang can make up his mind."

"Yeah." Yang Bo nodded and looked at Wang Guoguang and said, "Don't go directly, it's too fake. It's better to go around in circles."

"Yes." Wang Guoguang nodded, chewing the garlic, "Well, let's talk to Li Yihe."

Botong is Han Ji's name. Han Ji is from Puzhou, Shanxi. He is a fellow villager of Yang Bo, Zhang Siwei, Wang Chonggu, and a strong Shanxi gang. He was a regular noodle party in the Sanjin Guild Hall. Although Gao Gong was restored, he was not over, but his heart was still jealous.

Shu'an was the title of Wang Guoguang. In the second year of Longqing, he became the Governor of the Governor Cangchang. After a round trip, he is still the official. Because he is a student of Mr. Xu, he impeached Gao Gong in the tide of the Pavilion. Gao Beard seemed rough and generous, but in fact he held grudges. Although he did not retaliate specifically because of his identity as a member of the party, he was still inevitable.

Moreover, Wang Guoguang and Zhang Juzheng are friends who have been asking each other for many years, and have been actively moving towards him over the years. Although Zhang Juzheng has not established a clan, he has regarded him as his own.

Old Xier does not talk about right and wrong when doing things, but only depends on interests. For Shanxi businessmen with big family and big business, only by betting on both sides can hedge risks well, so that they will not lose if they get on the wrong ship.

When Wang Guoguang was asked to impeach Gao Gong, it was Yang Bo's bet for Xu Dang Daxing. Of course, he also placed the bet on Gao Gong, and Han Ji was like this. No matter who wins, there will always be old Xier on the side of the winner.

In that game, Gao Gong lost first and then won. Wang Guoguang had been on the bench for more than two years. Yang Bo threw him to Zhang Juzheng again, which became a bet on Zhang Dang. Still, no matter who wins, Lao Xier is the winner.

What is a win-win situation? It means that Shanxi people win twice!

Of course, in addition to betting on both sides, Lao Xier also has core demands. After monopolizing the trade with the Mongolians, they turned their attention to the sea. Seeing that the Jiangnan Group had opened up all the links of sea trade, they also wanted to go into the sea to get a share.

Unexpectedly, that guy Zhao Hao didn't even give Gao Ge Lao's face. This matter took more than two years, making the old Xier so anxious that he relapsed from his intestines. He ate several heads of garlic before he suppressed it.

But they would not easily make this point because Zhao Hao dared not provoke Gao Gong, but it means he did not dare to deal with the Shanxi Gang. The Jiangnan Group, which concentrated the Hui merchants and the Dongting merchants, had a hundred ways to crack down on the business of Shanxi merchants. For example, Jiangnan Bank seized the lifeblood of Xinlong Money Bank... Oh yes, the Xinlong number of the old Xi'er seems to be changing to Shanxi Bank. But no matter what the name is, as long as Jiangnan Bank takes ruthless action, they will be hurt.

So this time, the Shanxi Gang has been hiding behind, only allowing Han Ji and others to constantly instigate Gao Gong to build the shipping yamen.

Gao Gong’s biggest problem is that he has no one in his hands, and all his disciples have too little experience, so the shipping yamen has to rely on Shanxi to help him manage it.

Therefore, this wave of Gao Gong always keeps his eyes on Zhao Hao, which is definitely related to Han Ji and others fanning the flames.

This time, Han Ji was ordered by Yang Bo to incite Gao Gong to kill Zhang Juzheng. They also saw that once Zhang Juzheng stepped down, the Jiangnan Group would lose its protective umbrella, and the matter of the shipping yamen would be like taking a piece of food.

While eating noodles at the Sanjin Guild Hall, Zhang Xianggong also returned to Dashamao Hutong to have dinner with his son-in-law.

The most basic thing is that there are many scholarly families like the Zhang family, and it is not easy to sleep or eat or speak.

So after dinner, my father-in-law and son-in-law moved to the study and started talking.

"How is Xiaojing okay? Are you going back to Beijing with you?" Zhang Juzheng said while combing his body with a small comb, while concealing his longing for his daughter.

"She is very good, but because Mingyue and the others are not very convenient for running around, she stayed to take care of her." Zhao Hao explained with a smile.

"Oh, you mean..." Zhang Juzheng understood as soon as he heard it. "And how many people are together?"

"Three." Zhao Hao couldn't help but show off to his father-in-law.

"What? Are you biased in the three without Xiaojing?!" Unexpectedly, his father-in-law said furiously: "Is Bugu's daughter so unrestrained?"

"Don't calm down." Mr. Zhao said with a smile and tears: "The son-in-law is not allowed to do this. I love Xiaojing is definitely the biggest one, but my luck is just a little worse."

"Hmph, just have a clear idea." Zhang Juzheng's expression cleared a little, and then he said the serious matter: "After the prince came out of school today, I heard You Qi say that you are here, so I sent the prince back... The palace, and informed the two empresses that the two miracle doctors had arrived. Unexpectedly, Meng Chong came out and said that Gaoge Lao also invited miracle doctors from all over the world, and arrived in the capital in the past two or three days. The meaning of the two palaces is that in order to avoid repeated disturbances to the holy carriage, it is better to wait for them to come to the palace to consult together."

"Isn't this a hurry?" Zhao Hao said speechlessly.

"First, the emperor's condition has been stable in the past few days. Second, the two empresses are not people with ideas." Zhang Juzheng sighed helplessly. He could guess what was going on. "But this is good. The disease cannot be cured in the Imperial Hospital, and the two miracle doctors may not be able to have a solution. When we consult together, they will be less stressed."

"This is not going to move bricks. There are too many people and not necessarily great power." Mr. Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Oh..." Zhang Juzheng suddenly sighed and said, "In fact, the Imperial Hospital has diagnosed it with bayberry sores. But for the sake of the emperor's reputation, it was said to the public that it had a stroke."

"Good guy..." Mr. Zhao finally realized that Emperor Longqing had played with the reason why he was playing with him at a young age. He was really playing too much.

Since Portuguese sailors brought this disease into the Ming Dynasty 50 years ago, it has gradually spread from Guangdong. Fortunately, the transportation in this era was inconvenient and the maritime ban was strictly enforced, which made this Class B infectious disease take decades to spread throughout the country.

This is also the reason why Zhao Hao ordered his sailors and officers and soldiers to wear raincoats when visiting the kiln...

Unfortunately, I didn't offer the Danluo card condom to the emperor with just a moment of thought. Who would have thought that three thousand pinks on the buzz were not enough, and I had to pick wild flowers?

Now, I'll be hit...

Zhao Hao put away his mixed thoughts and shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it after the two miracle doctors are diagnosed."

"Yes." Zhang Juzheng nodded, looked at Zhao Hao with bright eyes and said, "We must let the two miraculous doctors cure the emperor at all costs..."

After a pause, he whispered again: "You must not lose to them."

Zhao Hao understood what his father-in-law meant. Perhaps both sides had good intentions, but there was no doubt that it had evolved into a contest now.

Whichever side cures the emperor will add a lot of points in the emperor's heart. Maybe the father-in-law can compete with the old man at once...

Zhang Juzheng told Zhao Hao again that Eunuch Feng has been urging him recently to do something while Si Lijian is in charge, but he has never made up his mind.

Because in the struggle, the one who has the advantage is qualified to constantly harass the disadvantaged, so as to make a mess, lead the snake out of the hole, and then kill it with one shot.

Mr. Zhang is now a poor man, so it is very dangerous to act rashly...

The father-in-law and son-in-law were talking, and You Qi reported outside that Li Yihe was coming.

"Yihe" is the name of Li Youzi. He was Zhang Juzheng's fellow townsman in the same year. He was humorous and strategic, and was one of Zhang Juzheng's best friends.

However, the bells in the corner of the wall were already pointing at eight o'clock. This person was visiting late at night, so he must not be visiting him. Zhao Hao stood up and said goodbye with tactfulness.

Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment and waved his hand and said, "Yihe is not an outsider, you don't have to avoid it, just leave a meeting."

"Yes, father-in-law." Zhao Hao responded respectfully, and was a little excited. This shows that his father-in-law has included himself in his core circle, and no longer just paying attention to it... This is called 'It is better to marry well than to do a good job'!

Hey, it seems something is wrong.

After a while, a big round and fat man squeezed into the study from outside the door.

In this era, it is really hard to see such a rich person. He had two beards, a smile, and a bit of alcohol... If he took another whisk and showed his grandmother, he would be like a Taiyi real person.

"This is Li Yihe, who is a father and his hometown in the same year. You should call him Uncle Shi." Zhang Juzheng also smiled and introduced to Zhao Hao.

"My nephew greets Uncle Shi." Zhao Hao hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Hahaha, Uncle Shi doesn't dare to be a fool, Mr. Zhao just call me Li Sanhu." Li Youzi smiled with the fat man's unique affinity: "You can't you not hear the nickname of me, right?"

"I've heard of it," Zhao Hao asked with a curious look: "I wonder which three pots are there?"

"This guy is a drunkard, and every meal cannot be separated from wine. Once, his wife complained to me that my master had to drink every meal. He immediately pulled down his face and farted! I drink when I don't eat!" Zhang Juzheng couldn't help laughing: "So he can't live without a wine pot."

"But drinking can make a mistake. After drinking, you have to drink strong tea to relieve your wine, so he can't live without a teapot." Zhang Juzheng couldn't help laughing and said, "This is wine and tea that keeps pouring it into his stomach, of course, it can't live without a urinal. Wherever he goes, these three pots are inseparable, so he gets such a nickname!"
