Among the several auxiliary ministers of the cabinet at that time, there was an elder Zhang Ge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Ge Lao has been poor since he was a child, and he can study by relying on the support of his family and his own diligence, but Rao is like this, Zhang Ge Lao still suffered a lot when he was a teenager, hanging beams and piercing strands, chiseling walls and stealing light, these are widely used to motivate people to work hard, Zhang Ge did the same when he was young.

It is also God's way to reward hard work, hard work pays off, Zhang Ge Lao overcame all the obstacles all the way to the Jinshi and completed the achievements that men in this era dream of.

Glory to the ancestors.

But it doesn't mean that if you pass the Jinshi exam, you will definitely be able to have a smooth career.

Zhang Ge was just a poor man, he didn't have any support in the capital, and he didn't want to be subservient in order to be prosperous, and he stumbled in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and only then did he win the appreciation of Emperor Yuanchang and enter the cabinet.

Xu suffered from poverty when he was a teenager, and Zhang Ge didn't think about how to deal with the government after entering the cabinet, but he did one thing to the extreme.

Fishing for money.

Zhang Ge Lao is not confused, and he is also comfortable in handling the government, but he will never let go of the silver that can be fished, and he is even privately evaluated by many people as "too ugly to eat".

Zhang Ge loves money, many people know this, but firstly, Emperor Yuanchang needs such a person in the court at this time, and secondly, for those who need to ask for some things, there is such a person who can be bought with silver, isn't it much easier to do things?

Therefore, although Zhang Ge has made a lot of money, he has been in the cabinet for nearly three years.

Qin Lang naturally had considerations when he found Zhang Gelao.

Zhang Ge Lao was able to enter the pavilion because he was appreciated by Emperor Yuanchang, in front of Emperor Yuanchang, Zhang Ge Lao's words were also relatively weighty, plus Gu Jinchun's matter was maliciously bitten, at that time, Emperor Yuanchang had not yet decided how to deal with Gu Jinchun's matter, as long as someone could persuade him, even if he was just worried about whether the Gu family and other clans would make a big move for Gu Jinchun, Emperor Yuanchang was also very likely to expose this matter.

So, Gu Qingwei concealed that Ning Zhiyuan took out his pressure box money and sent it to Zhang Ge Lao, and Zhang Ge Lao promised to complete the matter when he got the silver.

It's just that if Emperor Yuanchang said a few words in front of him, there were tens of thousands of taels of silver to take, which may be the easiest silver that Zhang Ge Lao took after entering the cabinet.

With Zhang Gelao's promise, both Gu Qingwei and the Qin family brothers were relieved and just waited for Gu Jinchun to return safely.

But I don't want to, the world is unpredictable.

Before Zhang Ge Lao could enter the palace to lobby Emperor Yuanchang, he had an accident first.

Because he was too ruthless in making money, Zhang Ge was sued by a stunned young imperial historian who had just entered the officialdom to the front of the palace.

It's not that there is no imperial history to participate in Zhang Ge Lao before, but the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not so unclear about what they want, knowing that Emperor Yuanchang intends to keep Zhang Ge Lao, even if they participate, it is just a little painless.

But Chen Yushi, who has just entered the officialdom, is different.

Chen Yushi was born in a family of poetry and books with very strict etiquette, and the education he received since he was a child was etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith, and he entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate with the responsibility of admonishing the emperor and supervising the officials of the imperial court.

Therefore, since he was eyeing Zhang Ge Lao, Chen Yushi has been secretly collecting evidence to prepare for a complaint, and the fold submitted to the palace even counted more than a dozen crimes of Zhang Ge Lao, and listed him as a traitor who caused chaos in the government.

When the excerpt came to Emperor Yuanchang, Emperor Yuanchang needed Zhang Ge Lao to make some sounds, at least he would not touch Zhang Ge Lao when he could use him, so he didn't care, just thinking that he was the best attitude to be an emperor and not expressing his position, and this Chen Yushi should be able to understand it.

But Emperor Yuanchang miscalculated this time.

If you are an old oilman who has been rolling in officialdom for decades, he naturally knows what to do next, but Chen Yushi is not only new to officialdom, but he is a loyal character.

After waiting for several days and not waiting for Emperor Yuanchang to make any moves, Chen Yushi actually followed the example of his predecessors on the Jinluan Palace and slammed his head into the pillar.

Although he was rescued by the imperial doctor and saved his life, since there was such a scene, Emperor Yuanchang could no longer ignore Zhang Ge's affairs.

As soon as Emperor Yuanchang gave an order, Ning Zhiyuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, personally investigated the matter of Zhang Gelao.

Subsequently, the things that Zhang Ge Lao had done were completely clear and clear in the eyes of Emperor Yuanchang.

If before this, Emperor Yuanchang still had a bit of protection for Zhang Ge Lao, then after seeing what a big number Zhang Ge Lao made, Emperor Yuan Chang also had murderous intentions.

The Chu clan also suffered a lot when they fought the world, and Emperor Yuanchang also followed his father in the army for a long time when he was young.

The power in the hands of the official was given by him, the emperor, and using the power to make a profit was not using the right he gave him to steal his money?

Zhang Ge Lao did not show his dedication to money before his career, although there were some rumors about Zhang Ge Lao's greed after entering the cabinet to the ears of Emperor Yuanchang, but after all, this is a courtier who he is optimistic about and promoted, and Zhang Ge Lao is indeed a sharp blade in the hands of Emperor Yuanchang, clearing a lot of people for him, so Emperor Yuanchang has been holding on to it.

Emperor Yuanchang just didn't expect that Zhang Gelao's appetite would be so big.

Therefore, knowing how much money Zhang Ge Lao had made, Emperor Yuanchang felt that he had been deceived by his courtiers, and perhaps he was angry that he had connived at such a moth before, and the next thing was naturally the fury of thunder.

So, less than three years after entering the cabinet, Zhang Ge Lao was thrown to the end and sent to the edict of Jinyiwei.

Ants are still stealing their lives, let alone people, and they are people like Zhang Gelao, who once almost stood at the pinnacle of power.

In order to survive, Zhang Ge Lao didn't use anyone to interrogate, he told all the things he had done, he knew very well that there might be a glimmer of life if he confessed honestly, if he still wanted to hide it at this time, let alone him, I am afraid that even his relatives would not be able to please him.

Even, he also focused on the fact that the Gu family took a large amount of silver and asked him to bite out the good words of Gu Jinchun in front of Emperor Yuanchang.

Zhang Ge Lao prides himself on being good at figuring out the holy will, Emperor Yuanchang is already in his throat about the existence of several major clans, he threw Gu Jinchun out, with Emperor Yuanchang's desire to wipe out all the clans, even if he knows that he is maliciously biting, I am afraid that he will not easily expose this matter, right?

If Emperor Yuanchang was a little angry about Gu Jinchun, was it possible that he would be gently let go by Emperor Yuanchang with his noble hand?

But this time, Zhang Ge Lao miscalculated. (To be continued.) )
