Chapter 056: Looking at the Moon in the Water
Facing Feng Bao, who was nervous, Zhang Juzheng shook his head and sighed: "If I knew who it was, it would be easy to do." β
Isn't it easy to do, in fact, it's not necessarily, but at least it's better than now, after all, you have to pay attention to a pertinence with a plan, and now the other party is hidden in the dark, and you don't even have a goal, how to use the plan?
Feng Bao was disappointed, sat back with a slump of his buttocks, and said weakly: "Could it be Guo Pu?" Don't look at this person who is famous for his integrity, just looking at his ability to serve two terms as a heavenly official, he will never be a fuel-efficient lamp. β
"I also doubted that it was Guo Zhifu's ghost, but ......" Zhang Juzheng frowned and shook his head: "The time is not right, although the situation has changed suddenly in the past few days, it seems that it may be Guo Zhifu's ghost, but in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you can find that the change in the high arch did not suddenly appear in the past few days." His actions have changed since his restart, but it is only because he has forced the rest of the cabinet out one by one, or brought them down, as I expected, that he has not been brought to my attention. But this also shows that his change is not because of Guo Zhifu. β
Feng Bao sat down on the side, suddenly excited, sat up straight, and asked a little nervously: "Could it be high pragmatism?" β
"High pragmatism?" Zhang Juzheng frowned, waved his hand and said: "How old is he, even if he is really a prodigy, it is already rare to read well, but he can't even have such a ruthless personality, right?" Besides, just a ten-year-old boy, he can have such a big influence, and even change Gao Suqing's style of acting? β
Feng Bao listened to it, and felt that it made sense at first, but after thinking about it carefully, wasn't he severely scolded by Gao Pragmatic last time by grabbing the language loophole? In this case, doesn't it matter whether he is old or young and whether he has a ruthless personality or not?
Feng Bao hurriedly told his suspicions, and even didn't care about face, and told him about his previous sin.
After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but fall into silence, frowning and thinking for a long time, before hesitating: "If it is as the governor said, then this kid may really be the mastermind behind the scenes...... It's just that why do I always think this thing sounds so out of tune? β
Feng Bao became firm and said, "No matter what, this kid is by no means comparable to an ordinary ignorant boy, even if these things are not manipulated by him behind his back, he can't be underestimated." β
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Feng Bao with a little surprise, but finally nodded and said, "What the Duke said is also reasonable, this son is ruthless and vicious, and he is definitely not a personality like Gao Gong, so we have to be careful." After a pause, he asked, "This son seems to be quite wealthy...... The Governor holds the East Factory, can he consider starting from this aspect, find some reasons for him, and teach him some lessons? β
Feng Bao laughed: "This is what the hero sees, of course Feng has thought about this stubble, but ...... I have to say that although this son is good at money, his means are very subtle, and it is a little difficult to find his illegal behavior. β
Zhang Juzheng frowned: "No matter how big or small, you can't find any problems?" β
"Don't hide it from Taiyue Xianggong, Feng has checked him for more than half a year, but it's a pity that ...... There's really nothing wrong with him himself. Feng Bao sighed first, and then said, "But there is one point, if it can be used well, it may also be of some use." β
"Which point?" Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed.
"Civil officials and nobles." Feng Bao's eyes lit up, and he said hatefully: "This son has dealings with various nobles, and even the Jinghua Soap Factory where he entered the gold that day seems to have the shadows of various nobles......"
Zhang Juzheng frowned: "What is a shadow?" Governor, please make it clear. β
Feng Baodao: "That is to say, all the nobles seem to be able to take dry shares from the Jinghua Soap Factory. β
Zhang Juzheng immediately became excited and sat up straight: "Is there conclusive evidence?" How do they trade? β
"But there is no evidence." Feng Bao said with annoyance: "Gao Pragmatic is very slippery, if Taiyue Xianggong wants to ask if he can get it in black and white, then Feng can only apologize." β
Zhang Juzheng really looked disappointed, but asked again: "Then how did they trade?" Did he directly trade with several grandfathers and marquis? β
Feng Bao opened his mouth, but in the end, he only let out a long sigh: "The trouble is hereβthe people who traded with him were all little grandfathers and little marquises." β
Zhang Juzheng slapped the table angrily: "Shaft, insidious!" Then he reluctantly asked, "There is no other evidence of guilt?" I've heard that he's buying land everywhere, and there's nothing like buying and selling? β
Feng Bao smiled bitterly: "Yes, there are some, but at least from the face, it is really not his people who came forward to do it, it is all those little grandfathers and little marquis who sent people to do it, if you want to plant a blame on his head, unless Gao Gong is gone, I am only afraid of ...... Hard. β
Zhang Juzheng's heart was on fire: What nonsense! If Gao Gong is gone, we still need to discuss a fart!
He stretched out his hand, put his hand on his forehead, shook his head, and said, "If that's the case, it's not going to be easy...... How old are those little grandfathers? Not even an adult, saying that a group of their children colluded with Gao Pragmatic and had bad intentions? The emperor is only afraid that he will suspect that the two of us have lost our minds and gone crazy. β
Feng Bao himself was also angry in his heart, but he suddenly remembered the intention of coming tonight, and couldn't help asking: "Let's not mention this first, Feng Mou's mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect himself at the moment, Dongchang and Yuma Supervisor, I'm afraid that I will have to lose one of them, can Taiyue Xianggong have a clever plan to teach me?" β
Zhang Juzheng knew that he came to him tonight, mainly for this matter, but ...... It's really not easy to do.
With Zhang Juzheng's level, he asked him to find some reason to help Feng Bao speak, saying that it was necessary for the chief bingbi to serve as the East Factory and the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but there was actually no problem with this.
The real problem is that Gao Gong is actually doing this to disperse the power of several great eunuchs, which is relatively equivalent to improving the status of civil officials. This is a thing that the officials of the world will applaud when they see it, if he Zhang Juzheng jumps out and sings against Gao Gong on this matter, he will be standing on the opposite side of the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
I, Zhang Taiyue, don't plan to live well, what's wrong?
"Duke, your arms can't reach your thighs, you don't have to think about it, you can't stop it." Zhang Juzheng did not hesitate and said decisively: "For today's plan, the governor can only think about it, the East Factory is important, or the Imperial Horse Supervisor is important, these two places must be kept in one place, and they must not be lost." β
Feng Bao was hit hard just now, and at this time he knew in his heart that it was impossible to protect both, and he had to make a choice, it was better to keep one than not to keep the other, so he asked in a low mood: "Which one does Taiyue Xianggong think it is better to stay?" β
This choice seems to be indeed difficult to choose, a supervisory power, a military power, neither of which is a joke, they are all great powers.
But Zhang Juzheng was very decisive, and he didn't even hesitate for a moment, and said directly: "Keep the East Factory!" β
Feng Bao was stunned by his decisiveness, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" β
Zhang Juzheng's tone was very anxious, and he even hated the anger that iron could not become steel, and said, "Why? I said, Duke, what's the point of keeping the military power of the Imperial Horse Supervisor at this moment? Could it be that under the pressure of the high arch step by step, you actually want to rebel? β
Feng Bao was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again: "Zhang Ge Lao Mo wants to talk nonsense, Feng Baoyan dares to do such a rebellious act?" β
Nonsense, the military system of the Beijing camp has just been adjusted back by Gao Gong again, and now it is still the noble military minister for the prime minister Rong Zheng (nominal), and the military department squire Lang is the assistant Rong Zheng (real palm), and he, the imperial horse supervisor, is just exercising a supervisory power on behalf of the emperor and rebelling? Do you make it out of your head? I can't even do it in my dreams!
"Since you don't dare, is it any different if you don't have this military power in your hands?" Zhang Juzheng said ruthlessly: "But Dongchang is different, as long as Dongchang is in hand, the governor will still have a chance to turn over the book - as long as you find tangible evidence that the uncle and nephew of the Gao family colluded with the nobles, no matter how proud they are now, it will be a dead end at that time, no matter how much the emperor favors him, he has to make serious punishments!" Not to mention ......"
Feng Bao immediately asked, "What's more?" β
"What's more......" Zhang Juzheng smiled, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes: "In case the mountain collapses and the new monarch ascends the throne, it must be the regent of the two palaces - can Concubine Li allow the first assistant and important ministers to collude with the nobles in Beijing?" Duke, there is a risk that the mountains and rivers will change color. β
Feng Bao's eyes lit up.
