Chapter 13: The Decisive Battle of Gao Feng

Now Gao Gong feels that while the emperor is young, orphans and widows, he doesn't even need to support people, and wants to directly take the power of the inner court into his own hands, and his desire is difficult to fill, or it has reached the point where there is no one in his eyes, and his ambitions are really cultivated.

Zhu Yijun has studied Zhang Juzheng's life, in the first few years of his rule, he did not have any arrogant remarks and behaviors, but after he won the love, Zhang Juzheng changed, or broke the jar. After the love incident, Zhang Juzheng's reputation also stinked, so he simply didn't want to be famous, and Zhang Juzheng became unscrupulous. After there is no fear, people are easy to change and become arrogant.

Obviously, whether it is Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, none of them have been able to escape this law, Zhu Yijun reminded himself in his heart that he could not relax and learn from them!

Looking up at his mother, and then looking down at Feng Bao who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Yijun sighed, he knew that it was the best choice for him to remain silent.

The Gao Feng controversy is now something that cannot be stopped.

At night, the first rain after Zhu Yijun's rebirth fell from the sky, and the dripping raindrops eased the hot weather in the past few days. Zhu Zhu Yijun stood at the door of the main hall, watching the raindrops hitting the ground with an expressionless face. The raindrops on the eaves hit the ground louder, and Zhu Yijun seemed to be very interested, staring at the raindrops and not speaking.

The emperor didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't dare to speak, and they didn't even breathe, for fear of interrupting the emperor's contemplation, Feng Bao stood behind Zhu Yijun respectfully, smiling.

Zhu Yijun is very familiar with Feng Bao's expression, and since he crossed over, Zhu Yijun has seen it countless times. However, Zhu Yijun didn't like Feng Bao's smile, although he couldn't see anything wrong, but it was a stylized smile. It's like a flight attendant in a previous life, smiling at you, it's very sweet, it's good-looking, but it's not real, when you smile at you, maybe I'm scolding you in my heart.

Feng Bao is the same, besides, Feng Bao is not a beautiful flight attendant, he is an old eunuch, Zhu Yijun naturally doesn't like to watch it.

"Your Majesty, it's cold on a rainy day, let's go into the palace!" Feng Bao saw that Zhu Yijun seemed to come back to his senses, and hurriedly spoke. If the emperor catches a cold and falls ill, it means that Feng Bao has not served well and will offend the Li family. At this critical moment, Feng Bao didn't want to offend the Li family, he still had to rely on the Li family to turn over. In other words, in this palace, the Li family can give him everything and deprive him of everything.

After all, there are so many eunuchs in the palace, and how many people are staring at their positions, not to mention others, just Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale, these two people are looking forward to their downfall all the time, especially at this time. In the past few days, Feng Bao has also received a secret report from Sandezi, and he is not in these days, but Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale are courteous to the emperor. This is also the reason why Feng Bao hurried back, of course, because when it came to the decisive battle, Feng Bao needed the support of the palace, and he didn't dare to let it go.

Once Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale said that they moved the Li family, they would be finished.

Glancing at Feng Bao, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Then listen to the big companion!" ”

In the capital, Zhang Juzheng's mansion, at this time, Zhang Juzheng was also looking at the rain outside the window, and the expression on his face was very solemn. Behind Zhang Juzheng, You Qi also stood with a bowed body, his expression a little tangled. After a while, You Qi still opened his mouth and said, "Master, are we still not doing anything?" ”

"Do what?" Zhang Juzheng looked at You Qi and said lightly: "I have done a lot, I have made a lot of mistakes, and I don't do it well!" ”

As Xu Jie's chosen successor, Zhang Juzheng can be said to have watched how the teacher defeated Yan Song, not to mention anything else, just forbearance, his teacher Xu Jie, has definitely reached the point of reaching the peak. married his granddaughter to Yan Shifan as a concubine, pretended to be deaf and dumb in the cabinet, and in the end his teacher survived Yan Song, and finally brought Yan Song down. After Yan Song fell, Xu Jie's eldest son wanted to keep his eldest daughter, but Xu Jie disagreed, and the last cup of poisoned wine was given to his granddaughter.

Xu Jie's forbearance and Xu Jie's ruthlessness, Zhang Juzheng can see it, and naturally understands that political struggles have always been life-and-death.

It's just that Xu Jie and Gao Gong have a grudge, and after Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, he wanted to welcome back Gao Gong, but Xu Jie pretended to be stupid and was finally disgusted by Emperor Longqing. In the second year of Longqing, Xu Jie returned to his hometown, Zhang Juzheng and the eunuch Li Fang welcomed back Gao Gong, and Gao Gong became the first assistant.

Zhang Juzheng sincerely welcomes back the high arch? Don't be kidding, if it weren't for Emperor Longqing's desire to welcome back Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng wouldn't have done that. Xu Jie returned to his hometown, and if Gao Gong didn't come back, Zhang Juzheng would be able to be the first assistant of the cabinet. Who can't be tempted by the phase? Wenchen's highest ideal is to become a Zaifu and a gentleman. Countless people have lost their lives for this position, and they are so old that they can't walk.

Not to mention Zaifu, a township chief in later generations, or even a village cadre, can break his head, and the head of the cabinet is equivalent to the ***** of later generations.

Now that he has such an opportunity, Zhang Juzheng doesn't want to have a high arch behind him, of course he wants to, but Zhang Juzheng knows that safety is the first place.

He knew Gao Gong's plan, but he didn't know if it was successful, but in Zhang Juzheng's opinion, even if Gao Gong was not successful, he would not fall because of this matter, so what was the benefit of his own involvement? Once discovered by Gao Gong, wouldn't he be targeted by Gao Gong? Now Gao Gong is Yan Song, and he is the teacher Xu Jie, planning and then acting is the king, and it is impossible to die.

"Look!" Zhang Juzheng looked at You Qi and said with a smile: "No matter what the final result is, it is a good thing for us. ”

The so-called Weng Mussel fights, the fisherman profits, Zhang Juzheng feels that he is the fisherman, no matter who wins Gao Gong or Feng Bao, it is good for himself, there is no harm.

Gao Gong won and took back the power of the celebrant Zhu Pi, then the power of the cabinet would be greatly strengthened, and as the second assistant of the cabinet, he would naturally have a lot of benefits. Limiting the power of eunuchs, which Wenchen doesn't want to do it? Now there are only three cabinet elders in the cabinet, Gao Gong himself and Lu Tiaoyang, this Lu Tiaoyang is basically an echo worm, which is inferior to the "paper paste three pavilion elders" and "clay sculpture six books". Zhang Juzheng really hopes that Gao Gong can succeed, Gao Gong is sixty years old, how long can he stay in power?

His teacher Xu Jie, who has survived for so many years, is still young, what can't he stay up with? If it is really made by Gao Gong, after he succeeds as the first assistant, he will be in power, and his own reform plan will be implemented.

If Gao Gong fails, Feng Bao wins, it will be a big blow to Gao Gong's prestige, Gao Gong's pavilion is afraid that it will not be long in coming, just wait to pick peaches, no matter who wins or loses on both sides, he can take advantage of the fisherman, and now he is mixed in, but there is no benefit at all, Zhang Ju is determined to sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.
