On the 20th, Xinke Jinshi entered the palace again, expressed his gratitude, and accepted the imperial uniform, crown and belt and Jinshi treasure notes awarded by the court.
And this day is also the day when Xianggong Zhang invites Zhao Hao to his house as a guest.
On this day, Zhao Hao got up early. With the help of Secretary Ma, he put on his most handsome clothes, combed his hair meticulously, and tied a silver crown on his head.
"How are you? Are you handsome?" Mr. Zhao asked Ma Xianglan, who was arranging his blue silk ribbon, while looking back and forth in the mirror.
"Of course the young master is the most handsome." Ma Xianglan carefully smoothed the blue silk ribbon around his waist and said with a smile: "I didn't know, I thought you were going to an appointment with a beautiful lady."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang is much more important than a beautiful woman." Zhao Hao's eyes calmed down and he sighed softly: "I need him to give me strength."
Ma Xianglan stopped talking. She straightened up and looked at him carefully and said, "You can go out now."
Then she handed over Zhao Hao's famous assassination and some elegant gifts to Zhang Juzheng to Zhao Shizhen, who was acting as a book boy.
It¡¯s just that Sister Xianglan is inevitably a little disappointed. She is a real book boy, okay?

On the carriage going to the Grand Scholar's Mansion, Zhao Hao asked Zhao Shizhen to roll up the curtains and looked at the lively scene of the Imperial Capital outside the window, but he was strangely silent.
¡°If Zhang Juzheng had invited someone a few days in advance, he would have been left with Silly Music now.
But the shocking conversation with the old man that day made Zhao Hao no longer able to simply be a fan.
Because behind that conversation was Zhao Hao¡¯s decision on his future path¡ª¡ª
Since the moment Wang Zhi was beheaded eight years ago, the old man has lost all confidence in the Ming Dynasty, which was kidnapped by the bureaucracy.
So he hoped that his grandson could go back with him and try to use Jiang Xueying and the golden seal to fill the gap left by the Lu family during the chaos.
Then go all out to fight on the sea, like Wang Zhi, have his own fleet and overseas territories.
If this distant goal can be achieved, no matter what happens to the Ming Dynasty in the future, at least the descendants of the Zhao family will no longer have to worry about overthrow.
¡°But if you follow the old man¡¯s arrangements, it means that Zhao Hao¡¯s future life trajectory will circle around the southeast and overseas.
Just like those wealthy families in the southeast, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning in Beijing have nothing to do with him.
Even though Liaodong has been occupied by the N¨¹zhi, even though the peasant army has rushed out of the mountains and Shaanxi, they are still intoxicated with the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River and ignore the weapons outside the Great Wall
How is this possible?
Absolutely not!
As early as on the glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple in Jinling, Zhao Hao had already sensed his mission.
That means risking everything you have to keep China¡¯s reputation!
You can change dynasties as you please, but you cannot let foreign barbarians taint our China!
Although Zhao Hao is greedy for life and afraid of death, even if he has a thorn in his hand, he will scream for a long time, but he has already had the consciousness to put everything aside and risk his life for this
Of course he knows that this is impossible, but fortunately, I am not alone, and there are people who are also trying their best to save this damn Ming Dynasty.
That is his idol Zhang Juzheng.
Therefore, Zhao Hao regarded this visit as a ceremony.
Just like people often like to go to the temple to worship before making important decisions.
Zhao Hao also wanted to pay homage to Zhang Juzheng, strengthen his faith, and go back to talk to his grandfather again.
See if you can convince the old man to give the Ming Dynasty another chance.

When the carriage arrived at Dashamao Hutong, Zhao Hao had completely calmed down.
Gao Wu stopped the carriage and opened the curtain. Zhao Hao held his shoulders and landed firmly on the ground.
Seeing that he was a prison guard, the guards on duty immediately came over to drive him away.
Zhao Shizhen rushed up to greet him and took out Zhang Juzheng's invitation and Zhao Hao's famous assassin.
The Jin Yiwei then let the three of them come under the plaque of 'Zhang's Mansion'.
A servant in green clothes and a small hat took the invitation from Zhao Shizhen and explained apologetically:
"A guest has just arrived, and the concierge has just gone in to report. Please wait for a moment in the concierge."
The rules of the Zhang Mansion are strict and there are usually few guests, so only the concierge can enter the inner house to report.
Zhao Hao and the other three followed the servant into the concierge, and saw a middle-aged man with a broad face and a bronze complexion already sitting upright.Headed up.
Hearing someone come in, the man glanced over with a hawk-like gaze.
With just one glance, Zhao Hao felt as if the blood in his body had solidified.
Gao Wu fell to his knees on the ground, his mouth open and unable to speak, but tears fell first.
The man was surprised at first when he saw this, then he showed a look of surprise, stood up and laughed loudly: "Gaowu!"
"Big, handsome!" Gao Wu kowtowed heavily to him, and then shouted excitedly. "You remember the little one."
"Hahaha, of course I remember." The Marshal finally stood up. Although he was wearing a scribe's robe, he still couldn't hide his broad shoulders and broad back, and his majestic appearance. His whole body exuded a strong and vigorous aura from the inside out.
"With your irritating talk, no one will forget you!"
The Marshal stepped forward, pulled up Gao Wu, hammered his chest, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Kung Fu has not been lost."
"Hey, hey." Gao Wu only touched his head and smiled stupidly, like a child who was carried away by happiness. It took him a while to remember his current identity, and he quickly wanted to introduce it to Zhao Hao.
But the more anxious he became, the more speechless he became.
"Who is this?" The commander simply asked himself.
"Zhao Hao, a late student and late student, pays homage to Marshal Qi!"
Zhao Hao bowed deeply and saluted the other party respectfully.
Even Hai Rui has never been treated like this.
"I have admired his name for a long time and admire him greatly! I am lucky to meet you today!"
In fact, Zhao Hao wanted to bow three times or kowtow, but that would be ridiculous, so he had to bow for a long time to express his admiration.
¡°In this world, there is only one man who can make a tall brother as stable as Mount Tai and such a handsome man lose his temper, and that is Qi Jiguang!
Although Zhao Hao has known for a long time that Qi Jiguang is in Beijing now, he has never been able to meet him. He did not expect to meet him at Zhang Juzheng's residence today. Happiness came so suddenly
¡°Well, even if you kowtow a hundred times to the national hero, Mr. Zhao will have no problem with it.
Just as he was immersed in the narcissism of paying tribute to the hero, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Qi Jiguang paying him the same gift.
"It turns out that he is Mr. Zhao, a fifth-level scholar of science. Yuan Jing was really rude just now, Wan Wang Haihan!"
"Commander, don't try to kill me." Zhao Hao was so frightened that he hurried away.
"The title of Marshal is the only way to kill Yuan Jing. If you don't mind, Young Master, just call me cousin." Qi Jiguang was still respectful and polite.
It¡¯s as if all his unparalleled achievements don¡¯t exist.
It seems that he is not an upright first-class governor.
It seems that he doesn¡¯t realize that he is old enough to be the other party¡¯s father
Zhao Hao felt a pang in his heart. He knew why the dignified Qi Jiguang was so cautious and humble
