In the capital. The work of the imperial court now seems to be in order. The pacification of the affairs in the north made Longqing a dragon's face and a great joy. In addition to being happy, he spoiled a few more concubines. It's just that Longqing's body is getting worse now. Becoming more and more inseparable from drug dependence. And. Every time Longqing is satisfied. I always think of the thousand catties of medicinal materials that Zhang Fan brought back for him. If this is known to Zhang Fan. I guess it's going to be a little laughing and crying.

The courtiers below have long known about Longqing's arrogance and lasciviousness. Just like today's calm. It's quite smooth weather. There was no trouble in the north for the time being. If there was Xu Jie's book on the book before, Longqing discouraged this kind of luxury. It's just that everyone can see Xu Jie's fate. Where do people dare to manage it now? in the Cabinet. Zhang Juzheng and even Longqing are the source of this character. Naturally, I don't bother; Li Chunfang is a good person. There is only one belief that this champion-born cabinet university scholar can be an official. That is, no one can be offended; Gao Gong is now eager for Longqing to indulge in harem pleasures. lest they hinder their own plan to seize power. Naturally, they will not bother with such "idle matters"; And Guo Pu and Gao Gong are the ones who wear a pair of pants. Of course, it won't get in the way of the high arch.

Zhang Juzheng has been in the cabinet since he entered the cabinet. There are always worries on the body. I think when he was just promoted to the cabinet by his teacher Xu Jie. Xu Jiezheng is not in harmony with the high arch. As Xu Jie's proud protégé. Zhang Juzheng naturally stands on the united front with his teacher. Resist the high arch together. The time when the high arch lost ground. Zhang Juzheng saw the shortcomings of the government. I want to change the law. But it was opposed by Xu Jie. took it and made the master and apprentice turn against each other. Now the mentor Xu Jiejie has become a teacher. And the high arch was promoted by himself. Although the two of them now seem to be free. But where is the gap between the two of them so easy to eliminate before. In addition, now Gao Gong continues to fight Xu Jie's family for a large number of fields under the name of Xu Jie's family. Zhang Ju is mindful of the love between master and apprentice. Again had to help. So these days come. Zhang Juzheng was very annoyed.

Zhang Fan is Zhang Juzheng's protégé. This is something that Zhang Juzheng is quite proud of. It's not just because Zhang Fan caught up with the good time when the new emperor of Longqing ascended the throne and wanted to change the court team. It is also because of Zhang Fan's unique vision and forward-looking vision for future political affairs. and Zhang Fan's kind of young age can understand the truth that many people can only understand when they are not confused. These are the reasons why Zhang Juzheng greatly admires Zhang Fan. And Zhang Fan did not disappoint Xu Jie. At a young age, he won the favor of Longqing. coupled with the current prince Zhu Yijun's love for Zhang Fan. The advanced has already added the title of prince and princess. He also commands the brocade guard. In the future, Zhang Fan can be described as limitless. Zhang Juzheng handed over the trouble of his mentor Xu Jie to Zhang Fan. It's also a good idea to see these.

It's just that a letter from Zhang Juzheng's house came from Yangzhou late last night, which made his already relieved heart hang again. Zhang Juzheng really didn't expect it. Gao Gong, a person who was once so bold and upright, would do such a down-to-earth thing to his mentor Xu Jie. But Zhang Juzheng thought about it and felt that it was understandable. Although the teacher is now a priest. But as a veteran of the two dynasties, Xu Jie. Even if it's at home. His energy is still immense. Long Qing approved his resignation at that time, but he was just tired of Xu Jie's chatter. If it is a step, it is difficult to set up some difficulties for the high arch. It's still very easy. It's no wonder that the high arch is high. Zhang Juzheng also felt that his mentor was too harsh on Gao Gong when he was in office.

Although Zhang Fan's letter did not clearly point out that those men in black must be the people sent by Gao Gong. But through the sentences in Zhang Fan's letter. How could Zhang Juzheng not distinguish and perceive it. However, trouble also followed. Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong are now at peace. If you go to the door immediately to find the high arch theory. No one knows if it will cause trouble again. Zhang Juzheng really didn't want to make waves again in the DPRK and China, which is rarely calm now. But although the teacher is now in Zhang Fan's place. Relatively safe. However, the teacher's family is still in danger. This made Zhang Juzheng also very uncomfortable.

Think again. Zhang Juzheng still decided to go to the Gaogong Mansion to explore the wind.

"Brother Xian. How can you come to my house in a few days? The high-arched housekeeper welcomed Zhang Juzheng into the mansion. Gao Gong received him very warmly.

"Brother Su Qing." Zhang Juzheng greeted. Said. "Now everything in the DPRK and China is calm. The younger brother is also idle all day. I can't help but want to catch up with Brother Su Qing. ”

"Haha. So much better. I feel the tightness of the whole day leisurely. It just so happened that the virtuous brother came to my house. Today, I want to play a good game with my brother. Gao Gong said very heartily.

"That's nature." Zhang Juzheng readily agreed.

Above the chessboard is the best way to see a person's nature. is like Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, who are playing against each other now. Zhang Juzheng is in charge of Baizi. Offense and defense are measured. There is always room before the child falls. This is not because Zhang Juzheng is difficult to decide. It's that he always leaves room for maneuver every time he makes a shot. The high arch is different. The offensive is wide open and close. Violently very. It's a very difficult way to get around. However, if you can't hit it in one hit. And leave a breath of air to the enemy. It is very likely that the opponent will get back the disadvantage.

Merely. Zhang Juzheng found out. Since Gao Gong has returned to the capital here, this place where dragons and snakes are mixed. His state of mind has changed a little like his current chess move. It's a smile though. But Zhang Juzheng can still feel it. It was a clear and very decisive offensive with a bit of intrigue and intriguery. This discovery made Zhang Juzheng sigh a little in his heart.

Play three sets. Zhang Juzheng won only one game.

"Brother Xian. In the past, you weren't so easily defeated by your brother. Gao Gong said. With a smile on his face at the same time. But there is also a bit of vigilance.

"It seems that Brother Su Qing's chess strength is now higher than that of his younger brother. The younger brother is no longer Brother Su Qing's opponent. Zhang Juzheng said very modestly.

"Virtuous brother doesn't have to be presumptuous." Gao Gong said. "After all, I've been through something for my brother. And people don't always stay the same. There was a bit of loneliness between the words.

Zhang Juzheng looked at him. Tentatively asked, "Brother Su Qing doesn't know what truth he has realized. ”

"Brother Wei was too bold before. That's a good thing. But for those who are rolling in this officialdom. Not necessarily a good thing. Gao Gong said. For so many years. Especially during that year of recuperation at home. For my brother, I also understood. People still have to be sleek. Those who are in power have to play some tricks. If not. It will be shattered. I don't blink an eyelid. ”

"Brother Su Qing means, little brother understands." Zhang Juzheng also sighed. Said. "But there really has to be no room for it. If you don't give a living, you can't make a living. ”

Gao Gong listened to Zhang Juzheng's words. Looking at his countenance, he thought about it for a while. said: "Brother Xian came here for the sake of the teacher. ”

Zhang Juzheng saw him speak. There will be no more sloppy eyes. Straight to the point, he said, "Not bad. The younger brother came to the teacher's family for the sake of the matter. ”

"Now that the words have been made clear. We don't have to go around in circles. Brother Xian, let's say it clearly. Gao Gong said.

"Brother Su Qing. Why do things so badly. Zhang Juzheng sighed. When the teacher was in office, he deliberately treated Brother Su Qing. However, those are only differences due to political differences. Today, the teacher is still returning to his hometown to retire. And Brother Su Qing is also willing to get it. There are still grievances that cannot be let go. ”

"Brother Xian. Now I still call you a good brother. Gao Gong looked at Zhang Juzheng quite seriously and said. I think my brother knows it. The commander once had the grace of bringing Gao Gong into the cabinet. This point will never be forgotten. But how did the commander deal with the high arch after that. Presumably, the virtuous brother also saw it. The high arch was once cornered. He was even on the verge of being killed. These are also given by the Gurus. Gao Gong is a person who can't hide his thoughts. is a person with clear grievances. The Commander's damage to Gao Gong has long since outweighed his favor. How could Gao Gong endure this breath. "Speaking of which. The high arch was already a little hysterical.

"But. The old man is now very old. No matter what he's done before. It's all behind you now. And why bother with each other? Zhang Juzheng argued. Brother Su Qing asked Hai Rui to thoroughly investigate the occupation of land by Jiangnan Haoqiang. There is nothing wrong with this. No complaints. However, why should Brother Su Qing fall into the ground. Then send people to harass the teacher's family. The grievances are clear. Back then, it was just a mentor who was really to Brother Su Qing. But he didn't implicate the family. How did Brother Su Qing do it? ”

"How do you know I'm sending someone to ...... again," Gao Gong was a little surprised. Speaking in general. But there was no continuation. He thought of it. The relationship between Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng. thought of where Zhang Fan is now. It also understands why Zhang Juzheng's news came so quickly.

"Zhang Xian's nephew is very generous. I want to make it difficult for him to do so. Now he really doesn't care. You can still help. Gao asked himself if he couldn't be so free. Admire. Admire. Gao Gong said with a laugh. It's just that there is a hint of admiration between the words.

"Fan'er is not such a generous person." Zhang Juzheng said. It's just that he understands that there is room for everything. There was no big grudge between the commander and him. And why leave no room for it. ”

"That's your teacher's style. What does it have to do with my high arch? Gao Gong shouted. The words are very sharp. But it also has a sense of sarcasm. "Gao has repaid his kindness. Grumbling and complaining. It's just that today's Gao understands some strategies. This is all the credit of the Lingshi. ”

"Is there really no room for this?" Zhang Juzheng finally asked.

"Gao is now just thinking about the country's social welfare. The Lingshi's family owns a large amount of land in their name. But he doesn't have to pay taxes because of his status. It does not benefit the country and the people at all. Gao Gong said. Gao Mou was all executed in accordance with the laws of the imperial court. There is no hint of favoritism. Those people. Who knows who sent the Commander to trouble? Maybe Ling Shi has been an official for decades. It is impossible to offend anyone again. ”

Zhang Juzheng listened to him. I know that it would be in vain to say anything more. I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh in my heart.

"Brother Xian's intention is clear today. also got a reply from Gao. "Gao Gong gave an eviction order." Now Gao is also older. I can't stand such exertion. It's time to rest. Come on. Send the second lord out of the house. "Finished. Gao Gong no longer paid attention to Zhang Juzheng. Turn around and walk towards the inner hall.

Looking at the figure of Gao Gong leaving. Zhang Juzheng really had mixed feelings in his heart. I don't know what to say to keep the high arch. Just watched him go. Back to Fuchu. Zhang Juzheng thought about it repeatedly. Gao Gong is now in a clear posture to deal with his teacher. And he was also worried about the tearing between Zhang Fan and Gao Gong. It's just that Xu Jie is his mentor. Zhang Juzheng has no reason not to ask.

Think about it. Zhang Juzheng still wrote a letter to Zhang Fan.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the letter written in his hand. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "What a wrong." Now everything is only up to providence. ”
