Chapter 20 Meeting Zhang Juzheng

"Leave here? Where to go?" Fakong asked hurriedly when he heard that Yang Ning was about to leave.

"Oh! It has been more than a year since I left home. Now that the flood has passed, I want to go home and see!" Yang Ning had a look of "homesickness" on his face.

Yang Ning did not tell Fakong that she was actually going to be a "eunuch" in the palace. Otherwise, the old monk would have thought that she was going to practice the "Broken Jade Book" even if she had no children or grandchildren. It would even make the old monk think that she was deliberately plotting to rob him.

His Ice Jade Chess is not good!

"Amitabha, this is human nature!" Fa Kong declared the Buddha's name.

Seeing that Fang Kong was a little depressed, Yang Ning smiled and said: "Looking at you like that, you are a great monk, so I can't stand it!"

Fakong glared and said, "Lao Nak has never said that he is a 'high-minded monk'. Have you ever seen such a 'high-ranking monk' who drinks alcohol and eats meat? Alas! It's a sin!"

This old monk had just flaunted himself as a "good monk", but he refused to admit it so quickly!

"Come on, after the wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha will stay in his heart! Come on, come on, drink!" Yang Ning picked up the wine bowl and said.

"Drink!" Just after reciting "sin", the old monk still picked up the wine bowl, and Yang Ning couldn't help but secretly laugh.

After finishing the wine in the bowl, Fakong said: "Then will you return to the capital in the future?"

"Uh-sure!"

Fakong looked happy and said: "Then you must come back to see me when you come back. Then we can play chess and drink together!"

Seeing Fakong's reluctant look, Yang Ning couldn't help but be moved, and agreed: "Definitely!" But in her heart, she thought: After entering the deep palace, it is difficult to imagine being so free now!

Fakong looked solemn and said: "I won't say much more, but there is only one thing. You must keep this "Broken Jade Book" well. Once the news of this unique secret book is leaked, it will definitely be

There is a bloody storm in the world. I am afraid that your life is not guaranteed. It is best for you to destroy it directly. You can't practice it anyway. This kung fu is too overbearing and harmful to the world. Once it falls into Xiao Xiao's hands, the consequences will be

Unthinkable!”

"Okay, I'll burn it later!" Yang Ning agreed.

When Yang Ning returned to Po Tao Temple, Zhang Cheng and Xiao Lezi had already rested. After nearly a month of recuperation, their injuries were almost healed, and their daily activities had returned to normal. This was largely thanks to

Yang Ning took good care of her.

In the morning of the next day, Yang Ning, Zhang Cheng, and Xiao Lezi simply packed up their things and prepared for entering the palace tomorrow. In the afternoon, Yang Ning went to Fakong's vegetable garden again.

Before entering the door, Yang Ning heard Fa Kong's loud laughter, which was as loud as a bell. It seemed that the old monk had a guest.

Entering the vegetable garden, Yang Ning saw a man sitting under a tree playing chess with an old monk from a distance.

"Boy, come here quickly and meet this good friend of mine!" Fakong greeted Yang Ning happily when he saw him.

It turned out that this man was a good friend of the old monk! Yang Ning walked closer and saw the man's appearance clearly.

This man is in his forties, dressed as a scholar, with a tall figure, three long beards, a handsome face, and a rather elegant demeanor, but inadvertently he reveals the aura of someone who has been in a position of power for a long time.

"Uncle, come on, let me introduce to you. This is Yang Ning, my new friend whom I mentioned to you. Not only is he a good chess player, he is also a master at couplets! He is very close to me.

What a hit!" Fakong introduced Yang Ning to the man.

Uncle? Why does it sound so familiar? Yang Ning's heart moved.

Fakong then said to Yang Ning: "Boy, this is the good friend I told you about. His surname is Zhang, his name is Juzheng, but...!"

"Zhang Juzheng!"

Yang Ning exclaimed. His surprise was extraordinary. The old monk's friend, the elegant and easy-going scribe in front of him, turned out to be the greatest politician and reformer Zhang Juzheng in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and even in the history of China! No wonder

Just now, I heard the old monk call this person "Uncle", which sounds familiar. This "Uncle" is Zhang Juzheng's nickname!

Although he had known that Zhang Juzheng lived in this era, Yang Ning never thought that he would be lucky enough to meet him. How could he not be shocked when a famous figure in history suddenly appeared in front of him alive?

Zhang Juzheng was not angry at Yang Ning's slight rudeness, but said in surprise: "This little friend seems to have heard of Benfu's name?"

Fakong also said to Yang Ning strangely: "Do you know him?"

"Ah - no, I don't know him, I've just admired him for a long time! I have always admired Mr. Zhang Ge for his political opinions and foresight!"

Yang Ning was telling the truth. When he was a student, he admired Zhang Juzheng's bold reform and ability and courage to turn the tide in the dark and decadent environment of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhang Juzheng smiled calmly and said: "My dear friend, I'm so flattered! I heard Master Fakong praising my dear friend's chess skills!"

The polite element in Zhang Juzheng's words was very obvious, and Yang Ning was not surprised. He was a minister of the current cabinet, a first-class official, and he was just an unknown boy. If someone could be polite to him, he would probably look at it.

Monk Fakong’s face!

"Amitabha! Uncle, if you don't accept it, do you dare to play a game with Yang Ning?" Fakong encouraged from the side. It seems that he must have been depressed by Zhang Juzheng when he played chess in the past, and he wished that someone could help him "revenge"

.If Yang Ning can win by chance, of course he will be happy. Even if he loses, he will be happy too. In his opinion, Yang Ning is not a good bird, and he has beaten him many times!

"That's what I mean, I wonder if little friend Yang is so elegant?" Zhang Juzheng immediately agreed, with a clear desire to fight in his eyes.

Yang Ning didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to be so fond of playing chess. Hearing Fakong say that he was "the best player in the capital" at chess, he wanted to see it for himself!

"The elder Ge has a destiny, so of course I will accompany him!"

The two sat opposite each other, with Fakong watching the battle. After placing the chess pieces, Zhang Juzheng suddenly said: "Little friend, do you want to give up the chess pieces?"

"What?" Yang Ning was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"I am asking, my friend, should I ask you to give in?" Zhang Juzheng repeated!

Yang Ning understood this time! Zhang Juzheng didn’t take himself seriously! Yang Ning was already angry. No wonder Fakong pointed out that Zhang Juzheng was strong in some aspects, and it showed here.

What’s up!

"No need!" Yang Ning said coldly. He knew that Zhang Juzheng would definitely not go first, so he said "boy Yiyue" and stepped forward to "pawn" to take the lead!

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, and in his first step he made a "top gun" move. This is an offensive move in chess, and Fakong also likes to move like this!

Since Zhang Juzheng, the general of the French Air Force, was very powerful, Yang Ning did not dare to be careless. He then flew the "elephant" and fought the "soldier"... and adopted a strategy of first defense.

After more than ten moves, Yang Ning's expression became solemn. Zhang Juzheng's chess skills were indeed great, and they were definitely not comparable to those of France and Kong. His overall view was very good. Although there were some flaws in defense, his offense was very sharp, and his moves were very sharp.

Pressing forward step by step, Yang Ning was forced to defend and had no chance to counterattack!
Chapter completed!
