Feng Bao was sent to Nanjing Xiaolingwei to grow vegetables, and this punishment was more severe than the wave at the end of the tenth year of Wanli in the original history, when Emperor Wanli drove Feng Bao away, but at least allowed Feng Bao to live in a new house in Nanjing. This time is different, it is almost a stroke to the end, becoming the lowest-level little eunuch, and with severe punishment on his back, Feng Qian's palm print days are only afraid that it will not be wonderful.

Zhang Ju was implicated, but in the eyes of the two palaces and the emperor, this was an accomplice. It's just that in order to take care of Li Guifei's face, they can't fully disclose their incriminating evidence, so they have to allocate part of the charges to bribery.

Zhang Ju is such a character, he can hear the cattiness. Originally, when he heard "insulting the heavenly family", he was already mentally prepared for the whole family to join the army, but the will came to "think about it", and finally dismissed the official and returned to his hometown to live idle.

This was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Juzheng, but at the same time, it also made him more aware in his heart that his "criminal evidence" in the two palaces and the emperor must be very sensitive, so that he had to play some tricks in the edict.

It is not difficult to debunk the trick, as long as Zhang Juzheng shouts out the injustice and forcibly turns the matter to the corruption case, he can make the three legal divisions involved in the case, then the truth behind the edict will definitely be exposed. Although Ge Shouli, the imperial history of the left capital, has always been a hardcore high-ranking party, he is a person who enforces the law very strictly, and he is about to be seventy years old, and he belongs to the category of old ministers who are "about to arrive", and he has relatively few concerns.

But Zhang Juzheng will definitely not do this, otherwise it will not be a matter that can be ended by returning to his hometown and staying idle.

After the two palaces and the emperor gave the order, they didn't stay long, and soon left with a gloomy face. Gao Gong and Guo Pu sighed and accompanied Zhang Juzheng out, Zhang Juzheng still straightened his waist, as if he was unwilling to show any weakness, but the depression in his eyes couldn't be concealed after all.

It is true that Gao Gong is a straight man, but the friendship between him and Zhang Juzheng is too deep after all, and he can't help but feel a little sentimental when he sees this, sighs, and says, "The emperor wants you to leave today, but you have been dismissed from the official position, and you can't use the post station, and I'm afraid that the family will not arrange for me to go to the cabinet to draw up a letter to the emperor, and ask him to allow you to use the post station." ”

Guo Pu and Zhang Juzheng didn't have much friendship, but at this time they said, "Although it is a pity that Taiyue is here, there is also an advantage, you can discipline your family well, and don't do evil in your hometown." ”

Gao Gong frowned a little when he heard this, of course he knew what Guo Pu said, the reputation of the Zhang family in his hometown was very bad, especially Zhang Juzheng's old father Zhang Wenming, who had done too many things to bully people, but Zhang Juzheng's sons who stayed in his hometown behaved a little more peacefully. But at this time, it's a bit out of place to say this, a bit of a pot that doesn't open and which pot to mention.

Who knew that Zhang Juzheng was not dissatisfied, nodded his head, and said, "Guo Gong's teachings, Juzheng will keep it in mind, and he will be strictly controlled after returning to his hometown." Then he didn't say much, and arched his hand at the two of them, "The two of you are busy, Juzheng will not delay and leave." ”

Zhang Juzheng went out of the palace and returned to the house, but now that his house had been surrounded by a large number of brocade guards, he couldn't help but be surprised, but he was immediately relieved that he had reached this point, what else could not be let go?

But when he got closer, a brocade-clothed guard saw it and immediately came over to salute "Zhang Ge Lao"

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and interrupted, "No need to be polite, I'm no longer an old man." However, the edict I received didn't say that I was going to be raided, so what are you doing? ”

Of course, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu knew that Zhang Juzheng was no longer a cabinet elder, but the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were very magical, and losing their official posts did not mean that they would never be used, and even if they were never used, their Jinshi status was not deprived, and the prestige of Shilin was not related to the official position, and it was still not something that a small fish and shrimp like him could afford to offend, where did he dare not put others in his eyes?

What's more, people like Zhang Juzheng, who have been in the center for a long time and have served as examiners many times, don't know how many protégés and old officials there are, but if one of them looks at his little shrimp unpleasantly, he can't eat it and walks away.

"Master Zhang, we don't know what the edict wrote, but there is also an edict from the saint, saying that there is something wrong with the origin of your house, so Zhu Dudu sent someone to seal it. Zhu Dudu can't help it, please forgive me. ”

Zhang Juzheng was shocked, and secretly said that it has been seven or eight years since the affairs of this house, and the emperor can actually find out? No, this is definitely not checked by the emperor, it must be highly pragmatic.

But this dumb loss, Zhang Juzheng can only settle down, and he doesn't bother to worry about this brocade guard at the moment, and returns home directly. The people in the house already knew that something had happened to the master, and many people were like mourning, and when they saw Zhang Juzheng, they wiped their tears.

Zhang Juzheng was depressed in his heart, but he really didn't want to say anything, looking at the Jinyi guards who were seized everywhere, he only said for a while, "Clean up the softness, let's go." You Qi, you check the account room, and then go and hire a few carriages, ox carts or something, we have to leave today. ”

Who knew that You Qi had a strange face, and stepped forward and said, "Master, the car has been prepared, ten carriages, twenty ox carts, although there are many people in the house, they can also set off at one time." ”

Zhang Juzheng was a little surprised: "So many cars, hired so quickly?" ”

You Qi shook his head and said, "Master, these cars are not hired by small ones, they were brought over early in the morning and parked outside the mansion to wait." ”

Zhang Juzheng's face changed: "Early in the morning? ”

You Qi sighed, "It's that after the master went out, these cars came, and the little one saw that they were a little blocked by the road, so he wanted to drive them away, but the person in the lead said that they were from the Jinghua caravan and were sent by Gao Guanzheng, and said that these cars would be useful in our house today." In addition, Gao Guanzheng also left a letter for the little one to hand over to the master after he returned home. Xiao thought that Gao Guanzheng should not be like this for no reason, and it was not good to damage the relationship with Gao Ge's hometown, so he let them stop. ”

Of course, he now understands what Gao pragmatic means when he says, "It will be useful today", but the letter still has to be forwarded, and he immediately took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng's eyes wandered for a while, and finally took the letter, opened it, and read it.

The letter didn't seem to be long, and Zhang Juzheng read it quickly, but after reading the letter, he didn't move for a long time and didn't speak. After a long while, Zhang Juzheng said slowly, "Since it is difficult to be gracious, let's use his car." You Qi, explain, the movements are faster. ”

When the people around him dispersed, Zhang Jianxiu stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what happened today?" ”

My lord, it is the meaning of the father.

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a while, and said slowly, "It's just defeated." ”

Zhang Jian wanted to ask again, but Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, "For my father's life, even if it ends here, if any of your brothers can read in the future, take the Jinshi examination, and come out to be an official, you must remember one thing." ”

Zhang Jianxiu had no choice but to ask, "Please show me, father." ”

"Don't be the enemy of high pragmatism."
