Chapter 89                                  

When Li Yunzhen heard this, he was a little anxious at that time. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Mengchen grabbed Li Yunzhen's hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this on a happy day. Come on, let me see my Tunan."

Li Yunzhen felt an unknown amount of anger in her heart, but when Zhou Mengchen pulled her hands, she immediately left seven or eight out of ten. Zhou Mengchen had already picked up the three-year-old Zhou Tunan, and the flesh-like Zhou Tunan tried to maintain her face in front of the legendary father, but the person in front of her was too strange. He finally couldn't stop and cried loudly. He shouted: "Mom, mom-----"

Li Yunzhen immediately stepped forward and brought the child over. The family's family's family happiness. Zhou Mengchen only enjoyed it for a while.

The family just had a meal.

I heard from the people below that Zhang Juzheng was here.

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen paused slightly in his heart and couldn't help but sigh.

He was in a complicated mood for Zhang Juzheng.

Years of friendship, historical status, political differences, positions and contradictions. In addition, Zhou Mengchen has been out all year round, and he has less contact. What does this kind of relationship look like now?

Zhou Mengchen himself didn't know.

What should I say? Although friendship is still there, reality pushes them toward hostility.

The emperor could not make things happy, let alone Zhou Mengchen. He knew who it was and how many people were behind him were supported by him, and he could not compromise. He could not give in because of Zhang Juzheng. But he could not let Zhang Juzheng give up his political life and serve him.

The hardest thing to get along with in your career is not others, but friends.

It is precisely because Zhang Juzheng and Zhou Mengchen are friends that Zhou Mengchen cannot just regard Zhang Juzheng as a simple political figure. This is why he is in a dilemma.

Li Yunzhen held Zhou Mengchen's hand and said, "Is it okay?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "It's okay. I'll come when I go."

In the same study, when Zhang Juzheng was waiting for Zhou Mengchen, he would casually pull out a book from the bookshelf to read, and even read it happily, and would take it away for a few days. Zhou Mengchen never cared about it. And so did Zhou Mengchen.

Now Zhang Juzheng is sitting in the guest seat and is savoring the tea carefully.

Be kind of a little lonely.

Zhou Mengchen came over and the two exchanged greetings. Zhou Mengchen opened his mouth, but didn't know what the two should say.

Both of them are from the officialdom. Political life is almost all of them. After meeting people like them, the best topic is the political situation. But the problem is that Zhou Mengchen is not easy to ask Zhang Juzheng.

Of course he knew that Zhang Ju was an important position in Xu Jie's camp.

Zhou Mengchen wanted to know many things about Xu Jie.

However, Zhou Mengchen was not easy to ask. Before Zhang Juzheng and Zhou Mengchen's relationship, Zhou Mengchen also knew that there was certainly a friendship between the two. However, there was Xu Jie's tacit approval because Xu Jie wanted to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

But as the relationship between the two sides broke down.

The contact between the two parties becomes embarrassing.

Zhou Mengchen asked Zhang Juzheng some topics about the political situation, and was afraid that Zhang Juzheng would be embarrassed. He didn't know if he should talk about it or not. If he talked about it, he might offend Xu Jie, and even betrayed Xu Jie. He was also afraid that Zhang Juzheng would be ordered to come, and there was something in his words, and there was a falsehood in the truth, so he would mislead himself.

Finally, Zhang Juzheng spoke first and said, "Feixiong, you still remember what you did in Wuchang and the Chu Palace scared me. I never thought you would be involved in that kind of thing."

Zhou Mengchen said: "Yes, I never thought that it was a thrust, and I never thought that I could do this back then."

Zhou Mengchen remembered the shocking night in the Chu Palace. Now I think about it, it’s all memories of youth.

Zhang Juzheng also laughed.

When talking about the old story in Wuchang, the two seemed to have endless things to say. They talked for half an hour.

Zhang Juzheng suddenly changed his voice and said, "Feixiong, do you want to go back to Wuchang?"

Zhou Mengchen was a little melancholy in his language. He shook his head slightly and said, "When you go home, you and I are all travelers. I am afraid that only by letting go of all this in front of you can go home. At that time, your hair is gray and your teeth are shaken, and you will want to beg for bones again."

This is the fate of becoming an official in ancient times. Only after retirement can you return to your hometown.

Zhang Juzheng said, "I'm going back to my hometown."

Zhou Mengchen seemed not to hear it and said in surprise: "What did you say?"

Zhang Juzheng has now made his mark in the capital. Gao Gong represents the prince's line and has slowly emerged. Zhang Juzheng is also Gao Gong's assistant at this moment. Under Xu Jie's arrangement, he is walking towards the front desk little by little. When he has a bright future, he suddenly said he is going back to his hometown.

This made Zhou Mengchen unable to believe it.

Zhang Juzheng said in a steady and gentle tone: "I have already taken leave. I will take a year off first. There is no way. My father has some things because of my son. But he has to go home to deal with it."

Of course, Zhou Mengchen knew that Zhang Juzheng's father could not be considered a good person.

Zhang Juzheng's father had Zhang Juzheng's son, and he violated the law and discipline by borrowing Zhang Juzheng's name. Zhou Mengchen had many people from Huguang under his command, and Zhou Mengchen also knew about some news about his hometown.

At that time, Zhou Mengchen was laughing secretly, thinking that Zhang Juzheng also had his own housework to deal with.

In fact, Zhou Mengchen didn't know that many things happened to Zhang Juzheng were accused of Zhang Juzheng. Of course, that was also the fact that Zhang Juzheng wanted to add a crime. Of course, this did not hinder Zhang's father from using his son's power in his hometown to act as a mighty person.

But, is this a matter?

It's not a matter at all. Xu Pan's work in his hometown is much more important than Zhang's father's work. But Zhou Mengchen could only treat it as if he hadn't seen it because he could not have a large-scale conflict with Xu Jie.

Fortunately, Zhou Mengchen's Zhou family was poor. There was only one Zhou mother, and the rest of the relationship was far away. Although he could get some benefits from Zhou Mengchen, he did not dare to do anything wrong by using Zhou Mengchen's name.

But then again, this little thing is not worth Zhang Juzheng giving up his bright future and going back for a year of vacation. The political loss was too great.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng decided that it was impossible for Zhang's father to do it.

So what's the matter?

Zhou Mengchen's heart moved, looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Brother Uncle, you are-----"

Zhang Juzheng said, "This is what I mean, and the teacher agreed. In fact, if I hadn't heard that you were coming, I would have left long ago. I stayed for a few days just to see you."

Zhou Mengchen already had countless speculations in his mind.

The reason why Zhang Juzheng did this was to avoid conflicts with him. But why did Xu Jie do this? Zhou Mengchen thought that the future storm was dangerous. Xu Jie foresaw a big storm.

What was the situation like this big storm? Xu Jie was not sure about the result. So he sent his favorite disciple to his hometown to avoid the limelight. It would not be too late to come back after the limelight.

Only Xu Jie is here and Zhang Ju is delaying his family for a while, which is nothing.

Zhou Mengchen's breathing was a little rapid. This just confirmed Zhou Mengchen's guess. Yan Shifan must have done something. Xu Jie grabbed the pain in his foot, but what was the point? Zhou Mengchen could not guess it.

Zhou Mengchen opened his mouth and wanted to ask Zhou Mengchen. But the words came to his mouth and suddenly stopped. Zhang Juzheng could do this. Although it was not pure, there was no pure in politics. It is already valuable to be able to do this.

He should no longer find out what happened to Xu Jie through Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng seemed to see Zhou Mengchen's doubts and said, "I don't believe that the teacher would allow me to do this. I think you won't come to Beijing for no reason this time. I'm much more stable here. But you are in a bad situation in the world, so you should take care of yourself."

Zhou Mengchen was silent for a while and said, "The Han River has a lot of autumn wind, so I will blow you to Jingzhou. Take care."

Zhang Juzheng said, "I know you will be very busy. You don't need to send me it. I hope you will be in the capital when I return to Beijing."

Zhou Mengchen sent Zhang Juzheng out of the house and took a deep breath. Although he moved Zhang Juzheng's feelings for him, he had to admit Zhang Juzheng's political wisdom.
