Chapter 381: Internal and external conspiracy
"Gonggong Feng is polite, if you have something, you can speak, it is all for the imperial court. Medium"
"That's the case, Lord Zhang, the Queen Mother is also very concerned about Uncle Guo's case, but you also know this kind of thing, the harem can't interfere in politics, so it's not easy for the Queen Mother to come forward to ask, so let me ask Lord Zhang to see how Uncle Guo's case is handled."
Zhang Juzheng looked left and right, and there were two little eunuchs waiting there, but they didn't speak, Feng Bao understood that he was afraid of being heard, so Feng Bao sent the two eunuchs out. Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth and said: "Gonggong Feng, you have also heard about the emperor's attitude in the court today, Gao Gong was reprimanded by the emperor for this matter, and he was there in the afternoon this afternoon, and I don't know how this Gao Gong was involved with Uncle Li. ”
"I've heard about it, but the Queen Mother is also anxious about this matter, nominally she doesn't care, but she still doesn't feel at ease in her heart, and Chen Jiu doesn't deal with me, so I can't come forward, I think this matter can only be done if you come forward, Master Zhang, you see if there is any way to understand this case and let the Queen Mother feel at ease."
"Gonggong Feng, in my guess, the emperor did not mean to deal with Uncle Guo, that is, to kill the 'chicken' to show the monkey, let these imperial relatives and relatives restrain themselves, Uncle Guo hit the muzzle of the gun. The initiative in this case is in Chen Jiu's hands, as long as Chen Jiu tells the emperor that the case is fine, the emperor will not take care of it. If you want Chen Jiu not to investigate strictly and close the case quickly, there is only one person who can find Chen Jiu. "Zhang Juzheng gradually brought the topic to me, and this is our purpose, to expand my influence.
"Master Zhang, who can let Chen Jiu let Uncle Li go, just tell me, you and I have been for so many years, and you also know that I am also thinking about the Queen Mother."
"Gonggong Feng, if you want Chen Jiu to let go, only my disciple Lan Yunjie can, his relationship with Chen Jiu is not ordinary, you also know it." Zhang Juzheng finally told me.
"Lord Lan has a good relationship with Chen Jiu, I know, but you also know that I am not easy to come forward, or Lord Zhang, you are Lord Lan's master, you can tell me how it is."
"Father-in-law Feng, you and I can't 'interfere' in this matter, you still need to tie the bell to unlock the bell, it's better for Uncle Li Guo to come forward, Father-in-law Feng, what do you say."
"Okay, it's still Lord Zhang who is right, it's not good for you and me to come forward, let's go to Uncle Li, hurry up and solve this case, and let the Queen Mother and the old man feel at ease as soon as possible, these royal relatives are not fuel-efficient masters, they can really cause trouble."
"Gonggong Feng, you still have to send someone to Uncle Li's mansion and give him a message, let him go to Lord Lan's mansion, as for how he goes, that's his business, you and I don't want to get involved."
The two of them discussed certainly, Feng
Bao said mysteriously: "I have already investigated and dealt with some eyebrows, whether Gao Gong is contacting businessmen from other places, or about commercial taxes, and how to 'operate' specifically, I don't know yet, and when I find out the news, I will inform you." ”
Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao have been paying attention to Gao Gong and want to find an opportunity to bring down Gao Gong, so Zhang Juzheng sent someone to secretly monitor him, Gao Gong wanted to do this, but also out of dissatisfaction with the emperor's implementation of commercial taxes, but the failure of the capital made him think of starting from below.
"No wonder the high arch looked very quiet during this period, I thought it was a big move brewing in the capital, it turned out that he had shifted his target and went to other places, did Gonggong Feng know his specific plan?"
"This is still being investigated, I am not from Dongchang now, and I have no right to check him, but I secretly used the previous relationship in Jinyiwei, according to them, Gao Gong's housekeeper went to Jinling, and there were two family members, one went to Quanzhou, and the other went to Luoyang, it seems that he wants to contact the businessmen over there, he thinks that the emperor is far away, and we can't cure him."
"Yes, Gao Gong's move is a must, wait for the capital to know, there is already a big trouble over there, and it will be troublesome to clean up the mess, it seems that you have to be on guard early."
"Now I am not in his position, and it will be a matter of Chen Jiu in the future, and I will take care of it less." Feng Bao's mood was obviously dissatisfied with the emperor.
"Gonggong Feng, this matter can't be ignored, this is a good opportunity to bring down Gao Gong, we will control their families when they make trouble, and strive to drive Gao Gong away at once, and we can't raise tigers for trouble."
"Yes, then I'll continue to monitor, Master Zhang, you also go and give a message to your disciple, let him help understand this case quickly, and we can free up our hands to deal with Gao Gong."
"Okay, then I'll take my leave."
Feng Bao sent Zhang Juzheng away, hurried to the palace of the Empress Dowager Li, and told the Empress Dowager Li about the conversation with Zhang Juzheng, of course, he only said 2 in front, and the back was the secret of the two of them, no one knew.
Empress Dowager Li hurriedly wrote a letter and 'handed it over' to Feng Bao, and Feng Bao must find a eunuch who is considerate of himself to send it, so as not to leak the news, Empress Dowager Li is only so cautious, just afraid of being infamous for interfering in politics.
Feng Bao took the letter from the Empress Dowager Li, returned to the celebrant eunuch, sent the little eunuch beside him, and went out of the palace to deliver the letter to Uncle Li's mansion.
The eunuch took the letter, went out of the palace and came to Uncle Li's mansion, and the one who looked at the 'door' saw that it was a eunuch from the palace, how dare he slack off, so he quickly let the little eunuch go to the ear room, bake the fire first, and ran to the study to inform Uncle Li.
Uncle Li Guo in the study
At this time, like ants on a hot pot, fidgeting, walking around the study, waiting for the good news of the high arch. Last night, I couldn't bear to cut my love, let go of the shares and gave up thirty percent, and came back without sleeping well all night, which was the silver of the white 'flower' and 'flower', so I gave it to others.
Such a thing happened in the restaurant, and I also learned through the guests who went to eat that day that most of the guests had diarrhea, and finally the procurement died, and he was sure that he was hacked, but he rarely offended people, who would provoke himself, he was the brother of the Empress Dowager Li, and even several bigwigs in the cabinet did not dare to mess with him.
Uncle Li doesn't know until now, it's his own family, who is bullying others outside with the power of Empress Dowager Li, which offended me. Even the one who doesn't want a silver ticket, wants cash, is also the shopkeeper's own assertion, Uncle Li Guo doesn't know these things at all, it's just that the shopkeeper is his own relative, so he let him do it, and the shopkeeper is also a guy who doesn't know the times and looks down on others. even lost his 'life', and made Uncle Li so miserable.
The 'door' came to the study, knocked on the 'door' to ask for a meeting, and Uncle Li Guo inside scolded impatiently: "What's the matter, I don't know if Lao Tzu is very annoyed now, if you have something to go to the housekeeper." ”
"Master Hou, there is a father-in-law in the palace outside who asks to see me, I think I am afraid that the queen is looking for you to be old, so I came directly to the study."
"Please, hurry up."
When Uncle Li heard that it was the eunuch in the palace, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly changed his clothes and prepared to meet the little eunuch. Now the situation is different, whoever comes from the palace is his own lifesaver.
After a while, the little eunuch was taken to the study by the 'door', and Uncle Li Guo at this time also calmed down, pretending to sit calmly on the chair and asked, "Was this father-in-law sent by the Queen Mother?" ”
"Master Qiqi, I was sent by Gonggong Feng, the master of ceremonies."
Uncle Li asked a little disappointed: "Then what is the matter with Father-in-law Feng sending Father-in-law here?" ”
"Gonggong Feng sent me to deliver a letter to Uncle Guo." After the little eunuch finished speaking, he took out the letter written by the Queen Mother from his arms and handed it to Uncle Li. Uncle Li opened the letter and saw that it was written by the Empress Dowager Li, and after reading it, although he did not handle the case well, he still pointed out a clear way for himself.
Uncle Li Guo's mood was much better than just now, after all, the queen mother still cared about herself, rewarded the ten taels of silver for sending the letter, and sent the little eunuch away. Uncle Li asked his family to call the housekeeper over.
The housekeeper entered the 'door' and saw that Uncle Li Guo had lost his irritability during the day, and knew that the case had taken a turn and asked
said: "Master Hou, is there good news from Lord Gao's side?" ”
"There is no information from the high arch so far, it is the queen who has believed it, you can take a look."
After reading the Queen Mother's letter, the housekeeper said: "Congratulations to Master Hou, it seems that the Queen Mother still cares about Lord Hou, but there is no news from Lord Gao now, and we are not familiar with this Lan Yunjie, so it is a bit inappropriate to go rashly, in my opinion, it is better to wait for Lord Gao's news later." ”
"But, butler, you see this is what the Queen Mother meant, if we don't go to find that Lan Yunjie, I'm afraid that it will delay things, and what if the Queen Mother blames it?"
"Master Hou, the Queen Mother doesn't know that we have found Lord Gao, Lord Gao is the first assistant, I haven't heard of anything about Lan Yunjie, he can be compared with Lord Gao, if we go to find Lan Yunjie, Lord Gao will definitely be unhappy if he knows, so I still suggest waiting for Lord Gao's information to come over and talk about it?"
"Okay, you go to Gaofu early and wait, then Master Gao comes back, you go and ask immediately, no, I'll find Lan Yunjie as soon as possible."
The housekeeper also obeyed Uncle Li's arrangement and went to the Gaogong Mansion to wait, and when the Gaogong returned to the house, the 'door' went up and said: "My lord, the housekeeper in the Uncle Guo's Mansion has already come to wait, do you want to meet you." ”
"Okay, you call him to the living room."
The housekeeper followed the 'door' to the living room, first saluted Gao Gong, and then said, "Lord Gao, Uncle Guo asked me to come and ask Lord Gao how things are going today." ”
"Is this, today I went to tell the Long Live Lord, and I also argued with the Long Live Lord in the Golden Palace, there is no conclusion today, you go back and tell the Uncle Guo, let him stabilize, don't worry, the old man will continue to find the emperor tomorrow and handle this matter for him."
Gao Gong's mind is like this, the shares on the first floor don't want to spit out, but this matter, I can't do it myself, what I said last night is to hand over the fold by myself, as for the future affairs, there is Empress Dowager Li's 'intervention', so Gao Gong also sent away Uncle Li's housekeeper with confidence.
