Chapter 109: Smoke and clouds overwhelm the city

The flickering candlelight reflected the whole room, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao sat side by side at the head of the hall on the left and right, and Wang Siming and Song Qingyang sat opposite the bottom head.

After two years of blessings in the position of the ambassador of the Ministry of Industry, Song Qingyang's body did not become blessed but even more emaciated, with two big eyes on his emaciated face, and the whole person looked even more gloomy. In the past two years, he has been thinking about the day when he can take revenge, and every day under the soak of hatred, it is a blessing in misfortune that he has not become a ghost.

On the other hand, Wang Siming's superior and comfortable life has already made him change from the naïve young man in his early years to a fat big fat man today, with fat on his belly squeezed together, and his fat official robes are all round.

"Master Zhang, our family likes to go straight, and things have come to such a point that it will make people laugh if they are hiding it, so don't be surprised if our family has anything to say today." Feng Bao said with a sharp voice. During these days, Zhang Juzheng pulled him, and his arrogant nature was revealed.

This evening, the news came that Lei Leopard had killed the rebellious Zhu Yiluan, and his tail was even more upturned to the sky, and he couldn't wait to tell the good news to the world in person.

Zhang Juzheng smiled, still the kind of smiling command in the past, but the momentum between gestures and gestures became more and more sufficient. "My father-in-law is quick to talk, how does the official know how to meet the stranger, and it doesn't hurt to have something to say."

Feng Bao nodded and said triumphantly: "This time, we got together in order to drive Gao Gong and Shen Chongming, the two masters and apprentices, out of the court. According to the meaning of our family, it is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots forever, and not leave the slightest chance for the two to turn around. This time Lei Leopard killed Zhu Yiluan and turned into a hero who infiltrated the enemy camp, this hand has helped us a lot, our family thinks that if we don't do two things, it is better to let Lei Leopard impeach Shen Chongming, just say that he and Zhu Yiluan's thief have collusion, but we will each make a concerted effort, and we will be able to convict him of fornication and rebellion, and then it is reasonable to implicate Gao Gong, and it is difficult for the two to survive. ”

"What my father-in-law said is very true, the so-called snake fight does not die but suffers from it, since we have made a move, we can't leave them the slightest chance to breathe, if you don't kill these two people, it's difficult to sleep peacefully." Before Zhang Juzheng could speak, Song Qingyang on the side interjected. For Shen Chongming and Gao Gong, he can't wait to crush the two of them!

As for Wang Siming, he didn't have any opinion on this point, all he wanted was the position of the governor of the maritime yamen, and as for Shen Chongming's life and death, he would do whatever others said.

Looking at the expressions of the three of them, Zhang Juzheng laughed softly: "What the two of you said is very true, and this official also thinks the same way. ”

But before Feng Bao had time to be happy, Zhang Juzheng's tone changed and said: "However, there is a problem that is worth considering." ”

"Oh. Please tell me about it. Feng Bao asked with great interest, he really couldn't think of anything else that could stop his plan to get rid of the two.

"Father-in-law, do you think in the emperor's mind, is it your high status or Gao Gong's high status?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Feng Bao with burning eyes and asked.

Feng Bao looked stunned, "This ......" For a while, he didn't know how to answer the question raised by Zhang Juzheng, who had a high status, and he had to say it at two ends.

In terms of personal emotion, I thought that I and Gao Gong could be described as half a catty, but when it came to national affairs, I was far inferior to the Gao Emperor Shi.

Under Zhang Juzheng's scorching gaze, Feng Bao was embarrassed to lie and put gold on his face, so he could only say: "Compared with Gao Gong, our family is still worse, otherwise he would not have been pressed by him for the past few years." Speaking of this, Feng Bao's killing intent was even stronger in his heart, these are all bitter tears, how much he has eaten under his high arch over the years!

Zhang Juzheng smiled, and then asked: "Then what do you think is the status of Shen Chongming in the emperor's mind?" ”

Saying this, everyone present immediately fell silent, which everyone couldn't say clearly. However, in recent years, the entire Ming Dynasty has been under the care of Shen Chongming, and it can be said that the country is rich and strong, and this alone is enough to establish his position in the heart of Emperor Longqing.

And most of the time, this person is more like a traitorous minister in front of Emperor Longqing, slapping the emperor all day long, seducing the emperor to do something that is not tolerated by the world but is fresh and exciting, making the emperor happy.

As soon as these two things are added up, Shen Chongming's status in Emperor Longqing's mind will be revealed, such a person, in the emperor's heart, I am afraid that he is more popular than his mentor Gao Gong!

"Since you don't say it, it's a tacit acquiescence over there." Zhang Juzheng's eyes showed a sense of resentment, but his tone was still flat. I have to say, this girl is a scheming conspirator!

"The party struggles of the past dynasties, presumably several adults are well aware, although the victory or defeat of each other depends on many factors, but in the final analysis, it is the emperor's personal preference. If we blatantly encourage the emperor to behead the two like this, I am afraid that it will backfire. Therefore, this official thinks that for the sake of safety, we should act conservatively, and at present, we only need to hold Shen Chongming to a high position, as long as he leaves the court, with you and me, I don't want to turn over. As for the high arch, there is nothing to be afraid of when it is already drooping and decaying, as long as it is hollowed out, it is difficult to do anything. Zhang Juzheng was a little excited, after all, the future is bright, as long as this thing is successful, then his ambitions can be fully realized.

Zhang Juzheng's words, Feng Bao was speechless, what Master Zhang said was very reasonable.

"Lord Zhang, letting the two of them live is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. Once he gains power, he will have endless troubles. Song Qingyang said with an anxious face, he was still waiting for an errand to beg a prison officer.

As he spoke, Song Qingyang raised his head and glanced at Wang Siming. The two said this in the same year, although the contradictions were very deep in the past few years, but now they are partners on the same front, and when it comes to the friendship of the same year, it is a further relationship.

Wang Siming knew that Song Qingyang wanted to help him, thinking that the two of them would have to come up with it for many years in the future, and this face would still have to be given.

"Lord Zhang, what Lord Song said is very true, you had better think about this matter clearly, the threat of these two people is too great, once they are given a chance to turn the tables, our fate will be ......" Wang Siming was alarmist, and he had learned this skill in the past few years.

Zhang Juzheng smiled, and did not refute the words of the two, "What the two adults said is very true, but this is all later, the most important thing at present is that we have complete confidence to bring down Shen Chongming and raise a high arch in the air." As long as you do these two things, the other things are easy to do, and the two who have lost their momentum at that time are not at their kneading for us, hehehe. ”

Song Qingyang suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, because he was too impatient. "My lord is high, but the lower officials are stupid."

"Hehehe, Master Zhang, you are still smart. You scholars, you are really good at harming others, and our family is really envious. Feng Bao said with a sneer.

These words are a bit shabby, but Zhang Juzheng is too lazy to care, everyone is a good partner now, and it is nothing to talk too much. "Hehe, my father-in-law has been promoted, and the official is just talking about things, it's nothing."

"In that case, let's do what we said today. Early tomorrow morning, you and I will each contact the officials who are familiar with the court, and we will kill Shen Chongming alive! Feng Baoxing said happily. Let yourself knead it, but you will definitely let Gao Gong Shen Chongming, the master and apprentice, live worse than death, and you must not cheapen the two of them!

"Okay, the hour is not early, and the official will not leave three people for supper." Zhang Juzheng got up and said with a smile, in order to plan this matter, he hadn't slept well for a while.

The three of them got up and said goodbye, except for the gate of Zhang's mansion, they went straight to Feng Bao's mansion outside the palace, the big things have been decided, and some small things still have to be discussed.

"Father-in-law, although Lei Leopard has made meritorious deeds this time, this person cannot be reused in the future, what are you going to do with him?" As soon as he sat down, Song Qingyang brought up the matter. has sharpened himself from the position of the eighth grade, but his power ** is even stronger, and this thunder leopard is the second fire to be burned after his comeback. He wants to tell everyone clearly that he, Song Qingyang, can not only use the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to rectify the people who offend him, but also meddle in the affairs of Dongchang, such a power, see who dares to offend himself!

When it comes to Lei Leopard, Feng Bao is a love-hate relationship. This dead thing, he trusted him so much, but he almost hurt himself, if he hadn't made a meritorious service this time, he would never have forgiven him in his life.

"This ...... Although he made a big mistake, but after all, he also made a great contribution this time, how do you think it can be counted as a merit and a demerit? Feng Bao didn't know what to do with this matter for a while, he must be his favorite general.

Song Qingyang shook his head, "Father-in-law, you are too kind to our subordinates. However, since Lei Leopard can betray you once, it will be difficult to say what will happen in the future, and his subordinates think that it is better to idle him for safety, so that he can live the rest of his life in peace. ”

Feng Bao couldn't help but nod his head, "What you said makes sense, but this time he has made a great contribution after all, which cannot be erased." ”

"Hehe, father-in-law, Lei Leopard infiltrated the enemy camp to kill the rebellious Zhu Yiluan, this was all planned by you, and today's work is naturally yours. As for him, he is just a pawn who does what he is told, and it would be nice to give him some reward at will. Song Qingyang smiled very treacherously, he was so happy to play tricks on people.

"Makes sense, it makes sense, hahaha." Feng Bao laughed when he heard this. Yes, this was planned by himself, for this matter, how many grievances he has suffered these days, how can this earth-shattering achievement be given to a subordinate!
