Now Gao Gong is also strong on the top, he took other people's money, if he really can't do it, it's not easy to speak, although what he said last night is this, as long as Gao Gong has a fold, the rest is for the Empress Dowager Li to do, but Gao Gong still wants to make Emperor Muzong give in to the court

Facing the momentum of Gao Gong's aggressive 'force' people, Mu Zong was not in a hurry, but smiled indifferently and said: "Lord Gao, I won't say this in advance, and I will go to the Qianqing Palace with you after retreating."

Gao Gong saw that the emperor replied like this, and it was not good to ask again, so he had to thank him and said: "The old minister obeys the order", and then entered the class

After the short contest in the court, several ministers went up a few folds, and then Emperor Muzong saw that there was no major event, so he ordered to retreat from the court, returned to the Qianqing Palace, and the high arch did not come, he had to go to the cabinet first to deal with a few pieces of music, and then go to ask for instructions

In front of the wide dragon case, Mu Zong sat on a chair and asked Chen Jiu, who was standing beside him, with a dark face: "Chen Jiu, what you said is the truth."

"Long live the minion, this is a real minion, and the slave has been with the long-lived master for so many years, and the slave will not deceive the long-lived master."

"Well, I believe you're just what happened to your interrogation?"

"The interrogation is still intensifying, there is no problem with the few eunuchs in our palace, that is, the shopkeeper on the first floor committed suicide in fear of crime, and now he is interrogating those cooks and men, mainly the scene on the first floor has been destroyed by Uncle Guo, and now I can't find any evidence, this case is not easy to investigate."

The guys on the first floor were also Chen Jiu, hinting that people were 'killed', they knew that these people had no motive for committing the crime, in order to complicate the case, so Chen Jiu 'killed' the shopkeeper, and now the shopkeeper is dead, saying that he can commit any crime, which leaves a good excuse for closing the case in the future, saying that it was instigated by Uncle Li Guo, or it can be said that the shopkeeper did it without permission, anyway, the scene was destroyed, even if Shuntianfu took over, there would be no result

"Then you will continue to strictly investigate for me, and you can't relax the people who are following Uncle Li, I will see how many tricks he still has available," Emperor Muzong did not have much affection for Uncle Li, these imperial relatives relied on their identities to run rampant outside, and it would not be good to be cured

After a while, Gao Gong came to the Qianqing Palace, the emperor did not sit on this groundbreak, usually Gao Gong asked to see or the emperor summoned him to sit, and when he saw that the emperor did not give him to sit on Gao Gong this time, his heart began to play drums up and down

"Your Majesty, did you summon the old minister to Qianqing Palace, is it still for the first floor of the case?"

"Yes, Lord Gao, why didn't I tell you in the court about this, the main thing is that I am thinking about your face, according to the spies from Dongchang, it was Uncle Li who went to visit you last night, what did you talk about, then what benefits did Uncle Li give you and let you speak for him in the early dynasty?"

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, Gao Gong knelt on the ground and pounced, he didn't expect this to be known by the emperor, but what kind of person Gao Gong was, he was also a very smart person, and immediately retorted: "The emperor's old minister met that Uncle Li, but that Uncle Li went to me to say that Dongchang overstepped his authority and arrested their people, and the old minister was the first assistant, and it was reasonable for Uncle Li to go to find the old minister, and the old minister didn't do anything with Uncle Li Guo, and asked the emperor to find out."

"Master Gao, no matter what you and Uncle Li say, what you do, there are gods in your head, you and I are masters and apprentices, you and I still have to stand up and be upright, Uncle Li made mistakes first, what you said makes sense, it should be under the jurisdiction of the Shuntian Mansion, but what you don't know is that it is the procurement in the palace that died on the first floor, and you also understand what it means to procure, it is my personal safety, and it is my meaning to 'hand' over to Dongchang for investigation, and it is not Chen Jiu's own opinion, so you don't want to be entangled in this matter in the future."

Emperor Mu Zong's words are all heart-wrenching words, Gao Gong listened to it in his ears, it hurt in his heart, he and Emperor Mu Zong's love for many years was bought by this Uncle Li's money, and now Gao Gong only asks the emperor not to know that they can still have room for redemption behind their backs

"The emperor's ministers shouldn't see Uncle Li, but the spies of Dongchang spy on the old ministers, which makes the ministers feel cold, the old ministers have followed the emperor for many years, and they are at ease in the Yuwang Mansion, which is the emperor's master, how can the old ministers do the things that are sorry for the emperor, they are all Dongchang to sow discord and damage the relationship between our master and apprentice, and the old ministers ask for severe punishment for Chen Jiu."

Gao Gong knew that the emperor was a monarch who valued affection and righteousness, and began to play the bitter card, not to mention that this card was playing in the emperor's heart, Emperor Muzong remembered that when he was in the palace, the friendship between himself and Gao Gong between teachers and students suddenly disappeared a lot

Mu Zong was not loved by Emperor Shizong in his early years, just turned 16 years old, Zhu Zaiyuan was driven out of the palace by King Shizong, and began to live independently on the vassal Yu Wangwang, prematurely left his parents, lived in Yu Wang's mansion for 13 years, Gao Gong was his teacher, Zhang Ju Zhengfu Gao Gong took Mu Zong out of the palace, more contact with all aspects of social life, and learned about the various contradictions and crises of the Ming Dynasty, especially the dictatorship of Yan Song, the decadence of the dynasty, the officials, the trouble of "the south and the north", the suffering of the people, internal and external troubles, so that he was more concerned about the court situation

Originally, he could have been his prince without so many troubles, but fate was always unpredictable, his two eldest brothers died early, he became the prince, and finally became the emperor, as a prince, he was able to understand more about the people's sufferings than ordinary people and people in the palace, and had a clearer understanding of Yan Song's 'chaos' outside the government, and his internal problems had a great impact on his actions after he ascended the throne

In these most difficult days, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng accompanied him, so that he learned a lot from them, and he was very clear about Gao Gong's personality, so he rarely doubted him, but now that Uncle Li Guo went to him, if there was no benefit, Gao Gong would not have done that in the early dynasty today, Mu Zong would rather guess wrong than see his most trusted teacher do something sorry for the court and himself

"Teacher, you are wrong to blame Dongchang and Chen Jiu, they are tracking Li Guo because of the case, Uncle Li didn't mean to spy on you at all, you are misunderstood, you are my teacher, I don't dare to spy on you if I borrow his three guts, besides, the teacher's personality who doesn't know the head of the honest and honest hundred officials, I believe that the teacher is not that kind of person"

When Gao Gong heard it, it was not to spy on him, but that Uncle Li Guo's heart stabilized, and it seemed that he still couldn't do it, but he didn't expect that Uncle Li Guo was in the limelight now, how could Dongchang not monitor him, it was really careless, Jingzhou was smart and confused for a while

"The old minister is wrong, long live the lord, and the old minister didn't expect that he shouldn't be mixed up with that Uncle Li, but today's old minister in the court really doesn't have any 'selfish' thoughts, and is dedicated to the court and His Majesty."

"Okay, teacher, I know that you are dedicated to the public, you don't have a 'selfish' heart, now there is no misunderstanding, there are still a lot of official affairs to deal with in the imperial court, the teacher will go down first."

Sent Gao Gong away, Mu Zong asked Chen Jiu: "Chen Jiu, what did you say to Uncle Li Guo?"

"The emperor's servant doesn't know, and we don't dare to send someone into the Gao Mansion."

"You have sent someone to secretly stare at Master Gao these days to see what he is doing, but if you are discovered, I will not admit that I did it, and you will have to bear all the consequences."

Mu Zong's words are very clear, that is, he will not say that he sent someone to monitor Gao Gong, there is something to do, only Chen Jiu can be a scapegoat, but Chen Jiu is not a fool, he will also find a scapegoat to bear this crime, the crime of monitoring the minister is not light, it can offend the world's scholars, and then Gao Gong is still the emperor's master, if he knows that the emperor sent someone to spy on his teacher, it will be even more shameful

After arranging the task of monitoring Gao Gong, Chen Jiu immediately went to do it, for Uncle Li Mu Zong has his own plans, Empress Dowager Li is kind to herself, for his younger brother, she can't do too much, and besides, it is all done by the family, and it has nothing to do with Uncle Li

Gao Gong left the Qianqing Palace and returned to the cabinet, although the emperor said that he was sincere, and it didn't look like he was still doubting himself, but his heart was still unstable, and it seemed that this silver should not be taken back, no, send the document back to others, but when he thought of so many white 'flowers' and 'flowers' of silver, he couldn't bear to be reluctant to get the silver so easily

After thinking about it, I didn't have any intention to look at him like this, and others didn't bother him, as long as Zhang Juzheng understood in his heart, then Uncle Li Guo went to his house, and he told Chen Jiu through me, so that he was caught off guard

Seeing Gao Gong's unruly appearance, Zhang Juzheng was also wondering what kind of dirty thing this Gao Gong had with Uncle Li, if there was nothing to do, it would not be so gaffe, Zhang Juzheng's relationship with Feng Bao was not ordinary, then Empress Dowager Li was Feng Bao's backstage, and she couldn't do it too much, and she could just have a favor at a critical time

Just when there was still an hour before the next duty, a little eunuch came over to ask Zhang Juzheng, saying that it was Feng Bao who invited Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng didn't know what Feng Bao was doing when he invited him over, usually they met in secret, and this meeting with great fanfare was a bit unusual

followed the little eunuch to the living room of the celebrant Feng Bao, Feng Bao saw Zhang Juzheng coming, stood up and said, "Lord Zhang, I took the liberty to ask you to come and go to Lord Zhang, Haihan delayed your business."

In front of outsiders, both of them pretended to be very restrained, and the things behind them were not something that these little eunuchs could know
