Chapter 878: The Storm Returns

Zhang Cai prides himself on being a particular person, and he can harm people who are unhappy with him, but he will definitely do what he promises. Keeping promises, this is a brand carved into the bones of a scholar.

He agreed to help Fu Han get rid of the legacy of the imperial examination case, so he promoted the transfer of the Datong general back to the capital to inquire about the matter.

So far, the case of fraud in the imperial examination is no longer a secret secret, and most people actually understand what is going on. It's just through that layer of window paper, and it will break when you poke it. The difference is nothing more than who will poke it.

Of course, the consequences of this layer of window paper being pierced and erupting are difficult to predict. After all, this is not only about the game of all parties, but also about the emperor's face. What's the matter, once it has anything to do with the royal family, it's never a trivial matter.

So Zhang Cai will not be stupid to charge into battle by himself, he will only hide behind and command remotely. Moreover, just to help Fu Han's stupid bird get rid of the legacy, it doesn't necessarily have to be through such a dangerous way. Diverting attention would be an appropriate approach.

For example, let a controversial figure come to the forefront again......

Looking at who has the most such characteristics at the moment? Director Zhang only pondered for a moment, and then locked on Su Daguan.

The young genius, the son of Yan City, and the cabinet boss Li Dongyang have a deep grudge, and they are jealous of many dragon sons and grandchildren, but they still have a big deal with huge interests in their hands. Heck, the size and length couldn't be more appropriate.

In other words, the legendary big deal, Mr. Zhang is also very greedy. Then, as long as this person is pushed out, there will naturally be many people who will take the initiative to help add fuel to the fire, and they don't need to worry about it at all. When the time comes, all he needs to do is just enjoy this gluttonous meal with him.

And when this happens, it will inevitably set off a wave of greed. Greed is like a giant monster that, once unleashed, is hard to stop. Then, when the heat is almost off, as long as he fiddles with it from behind and points the monster's gaze at Li Guang, then everything will fall into place.

And his original plan almost coincided with Su Mo. That's to make a fuss about that stone, but of course he won't make up any stories about the divine stone, and he can change it to a peerless gem or something.

However, although the plan was good, it couldn't stand up to the waves one after another, so that his plan was almost completely frustrated.

First of all, before he could do it, the rumors of the Divine Stone had already spread first, which not only disrupted his steps, but also reversed the priorities, making him very passive;

Then Zhang Mao suddenly jumped out of a chaotic punch, which completely muddied the water. The words that seemed to be almost a scoundrel seemed to push Su Mo into the abyss, but it was too much, but it completely aroused the emperor's anger.

Zhang Cai has a good understanding of His Majesty's temperament. Emperor Hongzhi seems to be humble and weak on his face, but in fact, he is proud and stubborn in his bones. The greater the external pressure, the more intense the rebound will be.

When the Manchu Dynasty almost unanimously crusaded against Su Mo, he vaguely felt bad. And what surprised him even more was that Emperor Hongzhi valued Su Mo, which was obviously not just a courtier.

Therefore, when the final ending came to an end, he had to admit that most of the previous plans had completely failed so far.

But who wants to be bright, although Su Mo failed in this matter, but in Li Guang's matter, there was a sudden turnaround. Zhang Mao's "nonsense" again made him immediately grasp the key: Su Mo, you have to deal with Li Guang too!

It was a bonus.

To tell the truth, the sharp blade he planned to deal with Li Guang before was Yang Yiqing, who Li Dongyang transferred back in every possible way.

Yang Yiqing has a temperament, and there is no sand in his eyes. His original plan was that after Yang Yiqing was transferred back, he would push Yang Yiqing to operate in the Imperial History Tower. Then when the time comes, there will be him on the side of the ministry, and then he will unite with Yang Yiqing to fight the vanguard, and it will be quite sure to take down a eunuch.

It's just that when the situation is finally out of control, and the plan has changed beyond recognition, he has extinguished this thought. He took the benefit and agreed to Fu Han's request for help, but if he wanted to say that he would put himself in for this, then he would be grateful for it.

But now that he suddenly found out that Su Mo had made a move, if he didn't know how to cooperate, wouldn't he also become a stupid pig?

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word. On the noisy hall, Zhang Caihu, who had made up his mind, took a step forward and said loudly.

It's not that he is willing to go into battle in person, but this situation happened suddenly, and he couldn't fake others at all, and he could only grasp this degree by personally taking the top.

Everyone in the hall was silent and looked at him sideways. Although Zhang Cai is only a master, no one dares to underestimate him.

Tu Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is very old and basically doesn't take care of things. The left and right waiters fought fiercely, and they couldn't hold each other. Then his main business will become hot. It can be said that, to a certain extent, he Zhang Cai can almost represent the wind direction of the officials.

Emperor Hongzhi, who was at the top, also raised his eyes, looked at him in surprise, and nodded: "Oh, what did Zhang Qing say?"

Zhang Caimu did not squint, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although the old prince's proposal is inappropriate, it is not completely undesirable. In other words, it should be that the adults may have misunderstood the old man. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned, and they couldn't help but look at each other. Even the British Duke Zhang Mao showed a strange look on his face, and secretly thought in his heart, could it be that Su Boy asked himself to say this, is there anything else strange in it?

Emperor Hongzhi really came to be interested, sat up slightly, and said warmly: "How do you say this?"

Zhang Cai smiled, first made a gesture at Xie Qian, who was glaring angrily over there, and said with a smile: "Master Xie is a little restless, and it's not too late to scold after listening to the official." ”

Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, then snorted, and had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

Zhang Cai bowed to Emperor Hongzhi again, straightened up, turned to face the ministers, and said with his fists in his fists: "Colleagues, what everyone is arguing about is nothing more than the old prince wants to ask for it from the people, right?" ”

All the courtiers glanced at each other, and they all nodded subconsciously.

Zhang Cai smiled, shook his head again, and said, "Actually, Xia Guan thinks that you may really have some misunderstandings. ”

Speaking of this, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he suddenly turned to the British Duke Zhang Mao, hugged his fists and said: "Old Guogong, if the lower officials guess well, what the old Guogong wants to do should have a specific goal, and he is not really facing the people of the whole world." I don't know what the subordinate said, is there a mistake?"

Everyone was stunned, why is there something else strange in this?

Zhang Mao was also surprised, he was just looking for an opportunity to throw this topic out at Su Mo's request. As for why, what is hidden in it, it is really completely impossible to slaughter sheep.

But at this moment, seeing Xie Qian's posture of "You are a traitor, and a certain will fight with you to the end", and then let him go down, he would be called an old scoundrel in vain. There are jujubes and no jujubes to hit two poles, and if there is nothing to do, take yourself out first, this has always been the old man's first code of conduct.

Now that there is such a ladder that has taken the initiative to send it to his feet, how can he not go downhill with the trend? It's just that there must be a charter for him now, but he can't sneak to the bottom as soon as he comes out, and then he will be completely exposed.

"Well...... Ahem, hmm...... Uh-huh, cough ......" He tugged at his beard with both hands, his eyes fluttering, and he made a series of muffled sounds of unknown meaning.

Ministers, this is boring, can we talk well? You are coughing and coughing, are you still it? What the hell is that hum?

Xie Qian was preconceived, and he had always been uninterested in Zhang Cai, so it was not good to attack Zhang Mao directly at this old man, so he turned his anger to Zhang Cai's head, and said angrily: "Zhang Shangzhen, if you know something, you can say it directly, so secretive, spitting and spitting, vainly being a saint disciple, what a villain!"

Zhang Cai was furious, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, but then he hid it deeply. After all, Xie Qian's identity is there, but it is not something that he, a small official in charge, can compete with. It's just that this grudge is buried, and I secretly grit my teeth in my heart, and wait, until a certain family ascends the throne one day, and sooner or later I will slaughter your old dog!

"Hehe, Master Xie is really anxious. Pressing the evil thought in his heart, he had to make a helpless look on his face, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Immediately, he didn't wait for Zhang Mao to answer, and said to himself: "There was a strange thing in Beijing that the Tao was born with an immortal treasure divine stone. Not only can it bless the shade of the door, but it can even take away the artificiality of others, as well as ...... Luck!, I think everyone has heard of this. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers were suffocated, and then there was an uproar. Of course I know that, but who doesn't know. Even many people don't know how long they have been secretly inquiring, but after all, it involves something that is not easy for people to know.

But now, Zhang Cai has been put on the bright side so grandiosely, what are you doing here?

Everyone hated and was anxious and couldn't attack for a while, so they could only hum and cough one by one, and barely nodded their heads to finish.

Zhang Cai grinned evilly, no longer paid attention to everyone, suddenly turned around and rushed to Emperor Shouhongzhi with a fist, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that such an auspicious stone as a divine stone is really not suitable for the people. It is not enough to be blessed with the shade, but the theory of luck should not be ignored. Although this is just a rumor, the so-called groundless wind may not be without cause. It is not too much to attach importance to the country's social affairs! The old man of the country is very serious, and it must be difficult to say it clearly, so this is the excuse for the birthday of the empress dowager, and this is expected to be the case. ”

The original buzzing discussion in the main hall suddenly stopped with these words, and there was an eerie silence. Everyone's faces were shocked, and they subconsciously closed their mouths tightly, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

How can this kind of thing be said so openly, and he is not afraid of being accused of being accused of bewitching the public? It's just that this matter has been raised to the level of the state and society, and no one dares to speak at will.

He Zhang Cai will not be unlucky because of this and don't say, but if anyone dares to jump out and open his mouth casually, one is not good, and the emperor misunderstands and has distracting thoughts, then it will be a big disaster for the clan in the blink of an eye.

Xie Qian was also shocked, he couldn't have imagined that Zhang Cai would be able to climb things to such an extent. This made him feel terrified, and it was not good to veto it. But if he is silent, it is really not in his temperament. Under the entanglement and depression in his heart, he finally had a flash of inspiration, and reluctantly thought of a reason:

"You...... You've said it yourself, it's just a rumor, so how can you know that...... Whose hand is that divine stone? Could it be that the whole city cannot be sued for this?"

Hearing this, an inexplicable luster suddenly flashed in Zhang Cai's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Mao violently, and said in a dark voice: "Hey, the officials naturally don't know about this." However, there must always be someone who knows. Is what the lower official said right, old man?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Mao.
