Chief Player of Film and Television World

After Zhang Jin and Ding Baiying reached an agreement, the two sides stopped attacking each other.

Ding Baiying asked his soldiers to silence the shopkeeper, waiters, and cooks of Jinling Tower, while Zhang Jin ordered the flames to set the entire Jinling Tower on fire.

"This way there won't be any evidence left." Ding Baiying looked at the Jinling Tower swallowed up by the blazing fire, turned around and walked away, "If you want to see Mr. Ming, come with me."

Zhang Jin grabbed the reluctant Guo Zhen and followed her. The other dead soldiers had dispersed. There were few pedestrians on the road, everyone was in a hurry, and no one noticed the three of them.

Even though he was walking on the street like this and met several patrol guards and imperial guards on the way, Guo Zhen did not dare to ask for help. After all, after seeing Zhang Jin's extraordinary methods, he did not think that relying on these soldiers on the street alone would

What role can Wei play?

What's more, there is Ding Baiying in front of him. He is afraid that as soon as he calls out the word "help", he will be cut down by the other party!

Therefore, the three of them arrived at a secluded large house in the southwest corner of the capital. Facing the river, there were no people living around. It was so quiet at night that it was easy to feel panicked, not to mention that it was the Ghost Festival tonight.

Zhang Jin looked around and found that the place where Shen Lian and Zhu Youjian met in the film was indeed hidden enough.

Ding Baiying left for a while, then returned to the room and said to them: "I have arranged for someone to notify Mr. Ming, please wait here."

"Master Laoding is here." Zhang Jin smiled and nodded, then found an empty chair and sat down.

Guo Zhen came to him with a worried look on his face: "Aren't you afraid that they will cause trouble? What if they arrange someone to besiege us?"

"Don't worry, no matter what method they use, I can protect your life." Zhang Jin didn't take it seriously and comforted casually.

"That's good, that's good." After hearing what he said, Guo Zhen couldn't say anything more. After all, he didn't make the decision himself.

Ding Baiying did not come back after leaving, but she sent someone to bring them tea, water and cakes, fearing that they would be hungry.

Guo Zhen was frightened all night and had not eaten much. Although he had no appetite at this time, he could not stand the Wu Zang Temple's constant shouting. However, he did not dare to eat the tea and cakes that were brought to him, so he could only watch helplessly.

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Jin couldn't help laughing and said: "Eunuch Guo, if you're hungry, just eat. If you keep staring, you'll be full?"

Guo Zhen pointed to the tea and cakes and said worriedly: "What if Ding Baiying poisons us here and wants to poison us?"

"We're all here. I don't think Master Ding is so mean and dirty." Zhang Jin smelled the tea and cakes, identified the components of the smell, and after making sure it was safe, he said, "It's not poisoned, so you can eat without worry."

"Really?" Guo Zhen looked at him dubiously.

"Don't believe me? Then forget it, I'm not the one who's hungry anyway." Zhang Jin said nonchalantly.

"It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just not that hungry suddenly." Guo Zhen hesitated again and again, but in the end he didn't reach for the refreshments.

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Jin sneered in his heart. If it were Zhou Miaotong or Miaoxuan, two beauties, he might taste these refreshments himself to show his safety. But Guo Zhen is a big eunuch, so he doesn't bother to care about it. He likes to eat

Don't eat.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Guo Zhen asked, "When will your father-in-law come back?"

"I don't care, just wait. I'll be back sooner or later." After Zhang Jin finished speaking, he closed his eyes to rest.

Instead of chatting with the eunuch Guo Zhen, it is better to replay interesting movies and TV series in the memory treasure house in my mind.

Guo Zhen said a few more words, trying to bring up the topic between the two, but seeing that Zhang Jin kept his eyes closed, he had no choice but to shut up.

At this time, in another room in the same courtyard.

King Xin Zhu Youjian sat on the couch, blowing on the hot tea he had just brewed in his hand, and looked up at Ding Baiying below: "How are Guo Zhen and the others doing over there?"

Ding Baiyinghui reported: "I just sent someone to take a sneak peek. There was no movement. The tea and pastries have not been touched."

"Where is Zhang Jin? What did he do?"

"No, he is still sitting in the chair and sleeping with his eyes closed as before."

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but smile: "He is quite calm. He is really impressed after three days apart!"

Lu Wenzhao on the side couldn't help but spoke again: "Your Highness, this person is so calm, he must be well prepared. I suggest sending a team directly to destroy them. It is not appropriate to use firearms here, but strong bows and crossbows

It’s enough to turn them into hedgehogs.”

"Senior brother, you forgot that I said that Zhang Jin can master fire control. If he is..."

"Junior sister, are you taking this trick seriously?" Lu Wenzhao interrupted Ding Baiying, clasped his fists and saluted Zhu Youjian, "Your Highness, as long as you give the order, I will take down Guo Zhen and Zhang Jin in one fell swoop. I will never do it."

Let the secret out!"

Zhu Youjian took a sip of the cool tea, put down the tea cup, and said slowly: "No, I'm going to see them now."

"Your Highness, you must not do this!" Lu Wenzhao quickly dissuaded him, "Be careful of fraud!"

Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "Master Lu and Master Ding are here, right? I believe you can protect me."

After saying that, he ignored Lu Wenzhao who was about to speak, and said to Ding Baiying, "Master Ding, please lead the way."

"Your Highness, please come this way." Ding Baiying glanced at his senior brother, then turned and walked towards the door.

Lu Wenzhao shook his head secretly and followed suit.

squeak--

The door was pushed open, and Guo Zhen, who had been bored all this time, immediately turned to look at the door. When he saw Ding Baiying and the young man who came in behind her, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously stood up and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Xin

!”

"Eunuch Guo." Zhu Youjian nodded, and his eyes quickly fell on Zhang Jin, who was still sitting beside him.

Guo Zhen followed his gaze and turned around to look at him. He quickly stepped over and pushed Zhang Jin: "Master Baihu, wake up quickly. Your Highness, Prince Xin, is here. Why don't you get up quickly to greet me!"

Zhang Jin heard the footsteps outside the door before Zhu Youjian entered. The main reason why he did this was to establish an unusual persona for himself and pave the way for the subsequent conversation.

Now that Guo Zhen woke him up, he opened his eyes and stood up to salute Zhu Youjian: "His Royal Highness King Xin!"

Zhu Youjian smiled faintly, waved his hands, walked to the front desk and sat down, looked at Zhang Jin with interest and said: "Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin's son, you were also my companion when I was young. I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for several years.

You actually became a member of the Imperial Guard, so why don’t you continue studying to gain fame?”

Zhang Jin said casually: "I'll stop reading if I can't continue. Besides, fame is of no use to the country or oneself."

"Who says that fame is of no use? If you obtain it, you can serve the court as an official and show your personal ambitions," Zhu Youjian said.

"That was in the past. Now that the country is about to perish, what's the use of being an official?" Zhang Jin said disapprovingly.

"How brave! How dare you say such treasonous words!" Lu Wenzhao yelled loudly, "Your Highness, this person must have ulterior motives. Why not let the villain capture him and take him back to prison for interrogation? His conspiracy will be revealed!

"

"Master Lu, please don't get excited." Zhu Youjian reassured, "Zhang Jin, why did you say that the country is about to perish? If you can give me a reason that convinces me, I can spare you this time."

When Guo Zhen heard this conversation, he felt even more uneasy. He didn't expect that Zhang Baihu looked like a normal person, but acted and spoke like a madman. This was simply sending him to death!

Zhang Jin looked calm. The purpose of his words was to elicit Zhu Youjian's question, so that he could follow the topic to what he wanted to say.

He took two steps forward to the brazier, took out the "Minutes of Treasure Ship Construction Supervision" from his arms and threw it to Zhu Youjian, and then said: "Your Highness also knows the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not

To do something like this."

Zhu Youjian flipped through the booklet and smiled but did not answer.

Zhang Jin did not expect him to answer, but continued to speak, briefly explaining the late Ming Dynasty issues based on the information collected and organized in the real world recorded in the memory palace in his mind.

The dilemma of the late Ming Dynasty has been studied many times by later generations, and the situation has become very clear, mainly for the following reasons.

First of all, the vassal kings and bureaucrats in various places are greedy, the people are impoverished, and the court is in financial deficit. The most important point is the serious problem of land annexation. In addition, we have encountered natural disasters such as the "Little Ice Age", the climate has become colder, and rainfall has

The scarcity caused long-term drought across the country, a significant reduction in grain harvests, the outbreak of large-scale famine, and led to peasant uprisings.

Secondly, the Jurchen tribe in the Northeast rose up and peered into the pass. Several counterattacks by the Ming Dynasty ended in failure, consuming the human, financial and material resources that the court had finally gathered; while the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast repeatedly invaded, and they could not be suppressed and destroyed.

Absolutely, the court was tired of dealing with it.

In the end, there were serious party disputes, corruption and chaos within the imperial court. The battle between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party almost paralyzed half of the imperial departments. Capable people who did not form factions or pursue selfish interests encountered too many constraints and were unable to do practical things at all.

The civil servant group not only resisted the eunuchs, but also defied the imperial power.

It can be said that these topics lasted for three days and three nights, but Zhang Jin did not intend to discuss them in detail. Firstly, there was not enough time to prepare for the reality, so he did not remember so many key contents. Secondly, the content was too detailed.

It will arouse Zhu Youjian's suspicion, because it is difficult for him as a prince to know these things. How can a little Jin Yiwei Baihu know everything!?

"Your Highness King Xin, you must also know what I just said. Such a situation has not only changed, but in less than twenty years, our Ming Dynasty will be completely finished." Zhang Jin finally concluded.

What he said made everyone present thoughtful, and they all fell into thinking.

Zhu Youjian pondered for a long time, finally let out a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhang Jin with a different look: "Did you come up with this by yourself, or did someone teach you to say it behind the scenes?"

"My father said that." Zhang Jin asked someone to come out to support him. Anyway, the person was dead and there was nothing the other party could do to verify it.

Zhu Youjian suddenly nodded and said with emotion: "It turned out to be what Zhang Xueshi said. No wonder. I said that at your age and knowledge, how could you have such a profound analysis. It's a pity that Zhang Xueshi died of illness early, otherwise he would have done a great job to me."

The court has done something."

Having said this, he suddenly asked, "Zhang Jin, has your father, Bachelor Zhang, ever said anything about how to solve the problems inside and outside the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang Jin nodded and said: "Yes, my father once wrote a policy to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. It not only elaborated on the shortcomings and problems of our dynasty, but also deduced the future direction of the Ming Dynasty based on intelligence information, and what he wanted to do to revitalize the Ming Dynasty.

Changes must be made.”

"Oh? Can you still find this brilliant plan?" Zhu Youjian asked quickly.

"My father burned it after he finished writing it."

"Burned! Why is this?" The expectation on Zhu Youjian's face suddenly turned into astonishment.

Zhang Jin said: "Because my father said that this bright policy is only an ideal move, but in fact it is impossible to achieve it. Many of the changes mentioned in it can only be achieved by a wise king with great courage and skill. But even if there is a wise man,

Your efforts also depend on whether God will give Daming a chance. If God doesn't give a chance, everything will be in vain."

Zhu Youjian was silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying: "What a pity, what a pity! I can't be lucky enough to see Zhang Xueshi's brilliant strategy in person, otherwise I would like to try the above method to see if I am

Can this sage and wise king turn the tide and revive the Ming Dynasty?"

There was silence in the room, except for his sigh.

Suddenly, Zhang Jin said: "Your Highness, you really want to see it?"

Zhu Youjian quickly looked at him: "Of course I do, you have a way? Isn't that Xing Ming Ce actually not burned down?"

"Of course not. Xing Mingce has indeed been burned, but I read the contents before burning them. Although I dare not say that I have copied them all, there is a probability of 10 to 10. If Your Highness really wants to read it, I can copy it.

"Zhang Jin said.

"Quick! Write it down quickly! I really want to see what Xuejie Zhang has to offer!" Zhu Youjian looked surprised.

Zhang Jin said: "It's okay for His Highness to ask me to write it, but I hope His Highness can promise me three things."

Zhu Youjian stopped smiling, and his face returned to its original state, like a flat lake: "Oh? What are the three things? Let's talk about them."

Zhang Jin was not polite and said: "The first thing is to spare Eunuch Guo's life. I know that they are all flaws to His Highness, but although it is human nature to hide the bird behind the bow, it will harm the moral destiny. In the future,

I’m afraid it will affect the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.”

Binding this matter with the good fortune of the country not only made Zhu Youjian scrupulous, but also gave the other party a step forward.

The reason why he must save Guo Zhen is actually to indirectly save Lu Wenzhao and others from the protagonist group.

Zhu Youjian did not answer immediately, but asked: "What about the other two things?"

Zhang Jin added: "The second thing is, I hope that His Highness can give me Miss Beizhai, and at the same time help me pardon Zhou Miaotong, a female musician from Nuanxiang Pavilion of the Jiaofang Si, from slavery and regain her freedom."

As soon as these words came out, the other four people's eyes became a little strange.

Guo Zhen looked shocked. He didn't expect such an important opportunity to be used for his children's affair.

Lu Wenzhao, on the other hand, had an expression that said everyone was a man, and he suddenly felt that Baihu was too young, and what a good opportunity he had wasted.

Ding Baiying looked on with disdain and looked on coldly.
