Chapter 35: Zhang Juzheng's Troubles
When I didn't see Zhang Hong, Empress Dowager Li didn't feel anything, but now that I saw Zhang Hong, Empress Dowager Li still felt a lot of emotion, and the most I thought of my Emperor Longqing. If you listen to Zhang Hong, you will never see such a short life.
Empress Dowager Li still remembers that Zhang Hong tried hard to persuade her husband, hoping that he would not indulge in women's sex, but he still didn't listen, and sent Zhang Hongfa to Nanjing as a clean army. With a deep sigh, Empress Dowager Li felt a lot of emotion.
Zhu Yijun sat beside Empress Dowager Li, looked at Zhang Hong, and then glanced at Feng Bao.
Although Feng Bao had a smile on his face at this time, the distance was so close that Zhu Yijun could clearly see the twitching expression on Feng Bao's face.
Zhang Hong's return is good news for Zhu Yijun, and there will be a loyal person to use it in the future, but for Feng Bao, this is definitely bad news. Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale have dealt with it themselves, and if they add a Feng Bao, it will be troublesome.
It's just that Feng Bao doesn't know that Zhang Hong has never thought of fighting for power and profit, nor has he thought of defeating Feng Bao, he is different from Zhang Whale's generation after all.
Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng also wanted to join forces with Zhang Hong to deal with Feng Bao, but Zhang Hong refused.
Zhu Yijun understands that Zhang Hong has also experienced ups and downs, and he is very clear about the difficulties of eunuchs, and his feelings for Feng Bao are estimated to be "why embarrass eunuchs". It's just that Feng Bao didn't know at this time that he was very wary of Zhang Hong.
"Since you're back, let's go to the celebrant first!" Empress Dowager Li came back to her senses from the entanglement and opened her mouth to arrange an errand for Zhang Hong.
In the palace, the most popular yamen is naturally the celebrant eunuch, in addition to the celebrant eunuch, the rest is the imperial horse eunuch. Now it is Zhang Whale who is the commander of the Imperial Horse Prison, and he holds military power, although he is not as good as Feng Bao, but he is also a high power.
Among the celebrant eunuchs, the status of the eunuchs is naturally not low, but the ranking of the eunuchs, the power of ordinary eunuchs is not large, Zhang Cheng is like this, otherwise he would not recognize people and pinch them flat.
The first place in the celebrity eunuch is naturally the palm seal eunuch, not only ranked first, but also has a very great power, which is to cover the jade seal for the emperor.
The rest is the eunuch Bingbi of the Celebrant of the Admiral Dongchang, and this position is the number two person of the Celebrant Eunuch.
The three major eunuchs in the inner court should be the eunuch of the celebrant palm seal, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi was ordered to supervise the Dongchang, and the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi was ordered to supervise the imperial horse eunuch. It's just that Feng Bao now occupies two positions, the eunuch who is in charge of the seal and the eunuch who is ordered to supervise the East Factory.
In Zhu Yijun's opinion, Feng Bao eats alone like this, no wonder everyone regards him as a thorn in his side, he is too greedy.
Some people say that he revised the edict, but it is not necessarily groundless, maybe it is really true.
Hearing that Empress Dowager Li just let Zhang Hong enter the ceremonial supervisor Bingpen, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale were disappointed, and Feng Bao was relieved. Feng Bao was really worried that Zhang Hong had snatched the palm seal of his master of ceremonies, or was ordered to supervise the East Factory.
No matter which of these two positions is gone, Feng Bao can't be arrogant.
Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng hated in their hearts, this Feng Bao really liked the Empress Dowager Li!
"Old slave Xie Empress Dowager!" Zhang Hong hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, his eyes were a little red, he was not so because he was retransferred back to the capital for reuse, but because of Empress Dowager Li's recognition and understanding of him, which proved that he did nothing wrong back then.
After Zhang Hong came back, he seemed to have thrown a stone in the calm capital, and he was concerned about this matter both inside and out.
The ministers were afraid that the battle between the eunuchs would spread to the outer courts, after all, the matter of Gao Gong had just passed, and everything was sensitive at this time!
Zhang Juzheng naturally knew the news of Zhang Hong's return, but Zhang Juzheng was in no mood to take care of this now, he encountered a troublesome thing, a troublesome thing that affected the whole body. If this matter is not resolved well, let alone any major reform plans, it is impossible to say whether he can do it or not as the head of the cabinet.
"Master, there's news from Nanjing!" You Qi handed a letter to Zhang Juzheng and spoke.
A few days ago, Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Yingtian, resigned from the official position, which directly alarmed the officialdom of the entire capital. Now that Zhang Hong is back, there seems to be a change in the inner court, and the two things together, the entire Beijing officialdom can be described as panicked.
Although Governor Ying Tian is important, it is not important to this extent, the key is that Zhang Jiayin is not only Governor Ying Tian, but also a student of Gao Gong.
As a student of Gao Gong, at this time, he had a resignation excerpt, which was nothing more than two reasons, one was forced by Zhang Juzheng, and the other was to complain about the teacher Gao Gong.
Although there are many people who support this latter reason, everyone is in the officialdom and knows that this is unlikely.
After all, Gao Gong is only Zhang Jiayin's teacher, not his preacher, and the relationship between the two people is not necessarily so behind. Although the mentor-apprentice relationship is very important in officialdom, and mutual promotion and support are common, it is unlikely that they will resign for the sake of each other.
Zhang Jiayin's official is not small, he should be the governor of heaven, can he give up as an official?
Zhang Juzheng also saw it this way, so he asked people to check it to see if someone was forcing Zhang Jiayin to resign under his banner. If Zhang Jiayin really resigned, and he forced the liquidation of Gao Gong's reputation, it would be solid.
At that time, everyone in the high-ranking officials will inevitably be in danger, and the court will definitely be in chaos.
This kind of chaos is definitely not what Zhang Juzheng wants to see, if he wants to be a powerful minister, at this time, he naturally wants to make Feng Bao inside, clean Gao Gong's hands externally, and install his own henchmen. But Zhang Juzheng doesn't want to be a minister, he has ideals and ambitions.
The party struggle is too big and will last for a long time, and these people who have been dismissed must be very resentful in their hearts, and when it comes time for their own reforms, these people are all resistance. After the dismissal and return to their hometowns, they became local snakes.
Anyway, Gao Gong is gone, and he can't come back, and he reasonably accepts Gao Gong's hands, which is what he should do.
Once the party struggle is set off, I don't know when the trouble will go, this is not what Zhang Juzheng wants, nor what Empress Dowager Li wants.
opened the letter and looked at it, Zhang Juzheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he slapped the letter on the table fiercely, Zhang Juzheng said angrily: "It's really not really angry, trouble, what's there to make trouble!" ”
This letter explains the reason for Zhang Jiayin's resignation, and sure enough, someone forced Zhang Jiayin, and this person is none other than the third son of his teacher Xu Jie. But Zhang Juzheng won't look at the problem this way, if there is no handwriting from his teacher Xu Jie, it would be strange.
His own teacher, a resigned Shousuke, a convicted Shousuke, and a discredited Shousuke, what ability does he have to do this, it's not because of himself, because his students have done it.
