Since the results of the interrogation came out, it must not be hidden, and for a while, the news that Gao Gong colluded with Chen Hong to assassinate the emperor spread throughout Beijing. Not only was public opinion in an uproar, but also panicked.

Everyone can see this matter clearly, and it is clear that Feng Bao of the East Factory is the blame.

Once it is done, it will be bad, and what Feng Bao and Dongchang did will inevitably implicate a wide range of people. I don't know what will happen at that time, besides, Gao Gong is a former cabinet chief assistant scholar and a teacher of the former emperor.

If even he ended up like this, what about the other officials? Isn't everyone in danger, and who isn't afraid?

Zhang Juzheng got the news as soon as possible, earlier than others, and at this time Zhang Juzheng was sitting in the study with a black face. You Qi was waiting cautiously on the side, his master was angry, and You Qi naturally saw it.

It's just that although Zhang Juzheng was angry and the expression on his face was very serious, he didn't show any radical behavior. Zhang Juzheng is not a high arch, and the more he gets to this time, the calmer Zhang Juzheng becomes.

"Tell Liu Shouyou that Jin Yiwei is staring at Chen Hong over there, don't have a problem."

Zhang Juzheng thought for a while, and added: "Gao Ge Lao, tell Jinyiwei to be careful, don't make a mess, prepare clothes, I want to enter the palace!" ”

This matter is like this, obviously there is no way to clean it up, no matter what, I have to bump into Zhang Juzheng once. If you don't do anything, your prestige will be suppressed in an instant.

Gao Gong's fate today is not his own fate tomorrow? This trend must be suppressed.

"Master, Lord Yang Boyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Yuge, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, ask to see you!" Just as Zhang Ju was about to go out, the steward outside the door suddenly came in to report, and these two people obviously got the news.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Juzheng said, "Let them do their best!" ”

It didn't take long for Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Ge Shouli, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, to walk in from outside. After the two of them saw Zhang Juzheng, they got to the point with a few simple polite words. These two people are one of the scholars of the Ministry of Rites, and the other is the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they are definitely the leaders of the Qing Gossip Officials.

This time, the two of them came to represent not them personally, but officials in the court.

"Elder Zhang Ge, Elder Gao Ge has returned to his hometown, how could he plot to assassinate the emperor, this is nonsense at all!" Ge Shouli opened his mouth and said: "Feng Bao is so framed and has sinister intentions, this is to abuse power!" ”

Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites on the side, also spoke: "Although Gao Ge Lao is a little short-tempered, Zhang Ge Lao should know how he behaves. Elder Zhang Ge, since Elder Gao Ge is gone, why bother to put people to death? Be forgiving and forgiving! ”

"Of course, in the matter of Xu Ge Lao, Gao Gong did do something wrong, but he didn't put Xu Ge Lao to death!"

Ge Shouli's words were nothing, but the words of Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were like knives straight into Zhang Juzheng. Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was not stupid, how could he not understand what Yang Bo meant, and besides, he said it clearly.

I colluded with Feng Bao to get Gao Gong away, from the perspective of political struggle, or from the perspective of profit, this makes sense, the key is that I don't need to kill Gao Gong!

What good is it for yourself to set off a big case, to cleanse the remnants of the high arch? I am a secretary of the ministry, so I need to do this? And only eunuchs and eunuchs would do this. As for avenging his own teacher, it would be even more nonsense.

I just asked Zhang Jiayin to sentence his teacher severely, although there is a rehabilitation, it is only to restore his reputation, and more importantly, he has not done it!

However, Yang Bo's words also made Zhang Juzheng realize one thing, that is, the exclusion and dissatisfaction of civil officials with him. Obviously, they decided that they had colluded with Feng Bao to get Gao Gong away, this was one of them, and this time they wanted to kill Gao Gong by setting up a blame, this was the second one.

If you just get rid of the high arch, it's nothing, but if you collude with Feng Bao to kill the high arch, you will have violated the bottom line.

Unless you want to be Yan Song, it is impossible to really collude with Feng Bao, and if you bow to Feng Bao, you can't be Yan Song at all, you can only be Xu Jie, and Feng Bao is Yan Song. What is your reputation and what will you do with the career you want? What about the ambitions in your own chest?

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhang Juzheng looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "The two adults think that Zhang is doing it at this time? ”

At this time, you can't hide it, Zhang Juzheng simply picked out the words and said it clearly.

Ge Shouli and Yang Bo glanced at each other, neither of them expected Zhang Juzheng to be so direct. But although the two of them didn't explain, that's what it meant. Neither of them spoke, apparently acquiescing.

sighed in his heart, Zhang Juzheng was very helpless, the thing of driving away Gao Gong was too simple and rude, and the sequelae came.

When his teacher was there, Gao Gong was forced to return to his hometown, and later Gao Gong came back, and he was always forced to return to his hometown, and he made a lot of trouble, but there was no such serious sequelae. Zhang Juzheng also knew it in his heart, because Feng Bao was involved.

If the collusion between themselves and Feng Bao can't be washed away, they won't believe in themselves, they never believe in eunuchs.

"Zhang doesn't know why the two of them have such thoughts, Zhang is also a son of a saint, and he was admitted to the three subjects and two rankings, and he also survived the Yan Song era, and he also stayed in the palace of the first emperor, how could he do such a thing?"

"What is the grudge between Zhang and Gao Gong? Why do you have to put him to death, could it be that the two of you think that I Zhang Ju is Yan Song? After saying this, Zhang Juzheng stood up and left directly, throwing the two people directly in the living room.

Zhang Juzheng's words are clear, I am a civil official, I am also a scholar of the imperial examination, everyone is my own person, how can I be in the same stream with the eunuchs.

The subtext is: I will not do things beyond the bottom line of civil officials, and it is wrong for you to doubt me so much.

Ge Shouli and Yang Bo naturally heard it, but the doubts in the hearts of the two of them did not disappear, but there was another doubt, was it really not Zhang Juzheng who did it?

Zhang Juzheng left, You Qi didn't leave, but he knew what to do.

"Two adults, the little one said something that shouldn't be said, if it weren't for the two adults coming to the door, our master would have already entered the palace. When my lord heard about this, he was so anxious that he was about to enter the palace to explain the matter. ”

"Don't hide it from the two adults, that assassin is a subordinate of Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jiliao, and this is what Feng Bao asked first."

Ge Shouli and Yang Bo were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other again, of course they knew that Qi Jiguang was Zhang Juzheng's person, and Feng Baoxian was targeting Qi Jiguang? Doesn't that mean that Feng Bao is targeting Zhang Juzheng?

Did the two of them fall out? Until now, they also did not believe that Zhang Juzheng did not collude with Feng Bao.
