CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

"Wangzhi County, it's almost the end of the year. You are busy with official duties, and you still come to see me off the boat in person. It's really troublesome for you."

Yueniang stood on the pier and saluted Wang Zhixian who came to see her off.

Wang Zhixian waved his hand with a smile, and several servants carrying big red boxes came forward and got on the boat first.

"Hanzhang asked me to be a matchmaker, but unfortunately he is in the capital and I am in Zhejiang. Due to my responsibilities, I cannot leave my post without permission, so I cannot personally get you married."

He pointed at the servants.

"I have no choice but to let these people follow you all the way there. When you get to the capital, they can help you arrange your wedding on my behalf as a matchmaker."

"Thank you, Magistrate Wang."

Yueniang lowered her head and saluted again.

Her eyes caught a young woman standing on the edge of Wangzhi County.

The woman was wearing cloth clothes and shoes, carrying a baggage, and looked like she was going on a far journey.

"I just don't know who this sister is..."

"Oh, this woman's husband is a righteous citizen who resisted the government's invasion of seedlings and fields. He was falsely accused of having an affair with Japanese pirates. He was pardoned by Haizhi County before, but was arrested and imprisoned by Jin Yiwei. This time she is going to the capital. , who advocated for her husband’s injustice to be overturned.”

Wang Zhixian looked calm.

"They happen to be both women, and they are traveling with you, so I will go with you so that I can be your companion. When we get to the capital, we can also go to Gaofu to help you arrange your wedding."

Tongwa?

Yueniang felt a sudden shiver run down her body.

Currently in southeast Zhejiang, the Ming army is fighting to the death with Japanese pirates.

The imperial court has long issued strict orders that anyone who has anything to do with Japanese pirates will be dealt with severely and their crimes will not be forgiven.

The magistrate of Hairuihai County, who single-handedly revealed the truth about "destroying embankments and flooding fields" and making the national policy of "changing rice into mulberry" exist in name only, was a thorn in the side of the strict party.

He pardoned innocent people, but he was involved in a major Japanese case?

Even serious enough to be directly escorted to the capital and imprisoned in prison?

From the perspective of Yueniang, who already knew a lot of inside information, this was clearly an act of revenge against Qingliu by the Yan Party after they successfully weathered the "anti-strict" trend!

The goal is probably to involve the magistrate of Hairuihai County through this "Japanese" common people.

Then, for the serious crime of treason with the Japanese, this Qingliu general will be killed in one breath!

Qingliu, on the other hand, would not let him go without help.

The wife who defended her husband was the most suitable person to come forward and was undoubtedly a key player in this important case of party dispute.

Such an important person actually wants to go to the capital with him on the same ship?

Apart from borrowing her ultimatum from the Supervisor of Ceremonies as a shield so that she could escape the pursuit of the strict party and safely deliver the person to the capital, she could not think of the second reason!

Yueniang looked at Wang Zhixian's kind smiling face, and the coldness in her heart surged up.

People who can survive official struggles, no matter what party is behind them, are not simple people!

"Time is tight, and Wang did not have time to inform the girl in advance. If there is anything that cannot be arranged, why not just bring it up?"

Seeing Yueniang's hesitant expression, Wang Zhixian asked with a smile.

Yueniang was excited and immediately smiled and spoke.

"No need. I am going to the capital alone and feel lonely. It would be great to have this sister with me!"

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at the servants carrying the big red boxes onto the ship.

Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid I can't escape this vortex!

According to Wang Zhixian's wishes, when she arrived in the capital, this woman would probably stay at Gao Hanzhang's house in the name of helping with the wedding arrangements.

It seems that although Gao Hanzhang has no partisanship in his heart, he lost the post of Hangzhou magistrate and returned to the Hanlin Academy. It seems that he has escaped the whirlpool of party strife.

But people from both factions still didn't let him go.

Trouble still found him.

And this time, he was probably dragged into the water by himself again——

If he hadn't wanted to marry a troubled person like him, if he hadn't thought about it carefully and still decided to marry him...

Yueniang lowered her head slightly, covering the turbulent waves in her eyes.

At this time, she suddenly remembered the three things that Yang Yijin and Eunuch Yang gave her after Shen Sanyue died a few months ago.

The first one is the last guqin left by Shen Sanyue.

The second and third items were placed in a locked rosewood box.

He said that Shen Sanyue asked him to give it to Yueniang as a dowry and asked her to follow Gao Hanzhang.

At that time, Yang Yijin showed the gentlest expression on his face since they had been together for more than 4 years.

"When you go there, you will encounter thousands of mountains, rivers, and ravines. What awaits you may not be all blessings, but also uncountable dangers.

"Old Shen said that the things in this box can save your life, and it can also save Gao Hanzhang's life."

He put the heavy box in Yueniang's hand with an unfathomable look.

"Don't open it. When you really can't get through, break the lock."

Yueniang knelt down, kowtowed three times to him, took the rosewood box, got up and left.

This was the last time she saw Yang Yijin, her godfather.

Later, I heard Lu Fang and Eunuch Lu say that he was crazy.

Later, after returning to Jiangnan, I heard that Lu Fang, Yang Yijin's godfather, was also kicked out of the inner court by the emperor and sent to Nanjing to guard the imperial mausoleum.

There is even less news about whether Yang Yijin is alive or dead.

Yueniang gently covered the baggage she carried on her back.

Now, he has no way out.

I'm afraid Gao Hanzhang's fate has already been linked to hers.

She could only rely on the trump card left to her by Shen Sanyue and Yang Yijin, give it a try, and venture into the capital city again!

……

A few months later.

Zhang Juzheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, entered a restaurant alone, glanced around, and walked into a secret private room.

Before coming here, he had already circled the city several times and sent his confidants to keep a close eye on him for a long time.

It wasn't until he made sure that no one was following him that he came here.

The reason for being so cautious is precisely because the identity of the person meeting him is very sensitive.

"Master Zhang."

In the private room, a handsome man stood up and saluted him.

It was the Hanlin Academy who had just gotten married a few months ago who compiled Gao Hanzhang.

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand.

"Han Zhang, there is no need to be polite. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. After all, we are in a busy city and the Yan family has many eyes and ears, so we can't stay for a long time."

In the past few months, the court has been engaged in a long-running debate over whether the Zhejiang citizen who "tangled with the Japanese" was guilty.

Finally, Emperor Jiajing made the final decision and sentenced the man to death for having liaison with the Japanese pirates, and he would be executed the next day.

In this round, Qingliu was completely defeated.

Yan Dang was very arrogant for a while.

Recently, people are being investigated and arrested everywhere, forcing Qingliu to retreat step by step.

As one of the leaders of Qingliu, Zhang Juzheng was a key figure being followed.

He had already taken a big risk by coming to see Gao Hanzhang at this time.

Gao Hanzhang said quickly.

"The Yan family recently sent people to keep an eye on Beizhong's house. Yesterday, they actually sent someone to send a message, openly threatening Beizhong——

"We must send away our humble wife Yueniang and the women who are staying overnight. Otherwise, we will have the censor impeach her for taking prostitutes as wives and secretly collaborating with Japanese criminals! This is really unreasonable!"

Seeing Gao Hanzhang's face full of grief and anger, Zhang Juzheng's expression remained calm.

"Then what are you going to do when you come to me?"

Gao Hanzhang took a long breath and placed a brocade box on the table.

"I'm sorry to see Mr. Zhang today. I have something important to give to Mr. Zhang, something that can turn things around."
