Chapter 40: Zhang Juzheng's Methods
In the palace, Zhu Yijun sat in front of the table, holding his chin and pondering Feng Bao's purpose. It is not easy for Zhang Juzheng not to get involved in the matter of Qi Jiguang, but aren't the two of them allies?
When he was thinking wildly, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of the Taizu of later generations, or a sentence of Taizu: If you seek unity through struggle, you will survive in unity, and if you seek unity by retreating, you will die in unity!
If you look at it from this aspect, then you can see that although it is an ally, an ally is not the same as an ally. Even if it's an ally, there will be a struggle for dominance. The Cold War of the world in the future is not a struggle for dominance in the world, and there are allies on every side.
Allies belong to allies, but the leaders are the US imperialism and the Soviet Union, and Britain can only follow behind the ass of the US imperialists, don't they want to dominate? Of course not, who doesn't want to be in the lead, you can see the essence of things from here.
Zhu Yijun touched his chin and muttered to himself: "This is the battle for dominance!" ”
Zhang Juzheng wanted to confine Feng Bao to the palace, and even put his hand in the palace, but Feng Bao was unwilling, he wanted to stretch out his hand and occupy a dominant position in the alliance. This is a bit like the later generations of Taizu and Jiang Guangtou, who are consistent externally, but internally they seek unity through struggle. ”
Thinking about this, many things suddenly became clear, and it turned out to be like this.
Feng Bao didn't want to turn his face with Zhang Juzheng, but wanted to use this matter to get hold of Zhang Juzheng, and Qi Jiguang was a point for Zhang Juzheng. Even Feng Bao involved Zhang Juzheng, it was just to scare Zhang Juzheng.
No, this is not a simple scare, but a warning, and it is also paving the way for what will happen to him.
With a sigh of relief, Zhu Yijun stood up, with a touch of relaxation and playfulness on his face. At this point, things seem to be very interesting. I have to say that Feng Bao is really smart.
The assassin incident shifted the direction of the palace, restored favor, expanded authority, established prestige, and cracked down on dissidents. One thing was used by Feng Bao from the inside out, and this is just the beginning, there must be tricks in the future!
"Your Majesty, Master Zhang has entered the palace!" Zhang Cheng, the eunuch who followed Zhu Yijun, said in a low voice.
Zhu Yijun was stunned, Zhang Juzheng is here? came really quickly, without hesitation, Zhu Yijun said directly: "Let's go, let's go to Cining Palace." ”
As for how Zhang Juzheng responded and how to fight back, Zhu Yijun was very curious. As an idealistic politician, how could Zhang Juzheng give up the dominance of the alliance, and it turned out that it was Zhang Juzheng who won in the end.
Zhang Juzheng has been in power for so many years, Feng Bao has been pressed, obviously he can't fight Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng's methods must be studied hard.
When Zhu Yijun came to Cining Palace, Zhu Yijun found that Zhang Juzheng was already chatting with his mother.
But before he got to the point, after the ceremony, Zhu Yijun sat down beside his mother, ready to see how Zhang Juzheng did things.
"The Queen Mother, Jinyiwei is in charge of the palace garrison, and this time he actually let the assassins into the palace, which shows Jinyiwei's dereliction of duty." Zhang Juzheng said with a look of righteous indignation: "The minister impeached Jinyi Weidu and commanded Liu Shouyou to do nothing. ”
Listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Zhu Yijun was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to start with Jinyiwei.
No, no, this thing is not right, who doesn't know that Jinyiwei and Dongchang don't deal with each other. Although Feng Bao is prestigious, Feng Bao's control over Jinyiwei is not so great. After all, not long after the powerful Jinyi Wei commanded Lu Bing's death, when Lu Bing was there, the Jinyi Wei was so pressed that Dongchang couldn't raise his head.
What's more, at that time, Yan Song and Xu Jie's reign, where was the turn to get the Dongchang stab.
After his father took the throne, Gao Gong's power leaned towards the opposition, and Dongchang also looked at Gao Gong's face, after all, whether it was Chen Hong or Meng Chong, they were all recommended by Gao Gong. Although Feng Bao became the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch of the seal, and supervised the East Factory, Feng Bao could not accept the Jinyi Guard.
Jinyiwei and Dongchang are not all the way, and helping Dongchang suppress Jinyiwei is definitely not what Zhang Juzheng should do.
Supporting Jinyiwei and Dongchang dog-eat-dog, this is what Zhang Juzheng should do, that is to say, Zhang Juzheng has something to say.
"Then what does Master Zhang think should be done with this matter?" Empress Dowager Li listened to Zhang Juzheng's words, and she greatly agreed. You were guarding the palace, and the assassins who were guarding it ended up in the palace, isn't that a dereliction of duty?
"The minister thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to thoroughly investigate the assassination case, and although Liu Shouyou is derelict in his duties, compared to the investigation of the assassination case, the dereliction of duty can be put back."
Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard, frowned and said: "The minister thinks that it is better to let Jinyi Weidu command Liu Shouyou to make meritorious service, if he can find out the assassination case, then he will be exempted from criminal responsibility." If it is not clear, then the two crimes will be punished concurrently, and the punishment will be severe. ”
Empress Dowager Li nodded, feeling that Zhang Juzheng's statement was still good, and it was a solid matter.
Zhu Yijun sighed secretly, sure enough, as he thought, Zhang Juzheng was also fighting back!
First of all, he participated in the Jinyi Guard and commanded Liu Shouyou, and then he protected him to prevent anyone from attacking Liu Shouyou with this matter in the future, to put it bluntly, it was to prevent Feng Bao from reaching out to Jinyiwei, this move is high!
Let Liu Shouyou make meritorious contributions, in fact, Jin Yiwei has the right to investigate the case.
Originally, this right belonged to Feng Bao, Feng Bao was there to handle Zhang Juzheng, and now let Jinyiwei get involved, Feng Bao naturally couldn't concoct the case unscrupulously. Zhang Juzheng's counterattack was sharp and crisp, like an antelope hanging its horns and nowhere to be found.
It looks like nothing has been done at all, but everything has been done.
"Since that's the case, then let the Jinyi Guards command Liu Shouyou to check it too!" Empress Dowager Li didn't think there was anything, anyway, it might be faster for Dongchang and Jinyiwei to check together.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Sandezi who was following him, and shook his head helplessly.
Feng Bao was careless, or his ability was not good, he was not here at this time, and he went to stir up his big case. If he's there, maybe he can stop it. However, Zhu Yijun thinks that the possibility is really unlikely, Zhang Juzheng is not wrong at all!
From participating in the merit to the meritorious service of the back, there is no trace of the beginning and the end, and it is a model of absolute single-mindedness!
Zhang Juzheng left, Zhu Yijun was still pondering this matter on his face, he felt that this was a beginning, or that the two sides were testing each other. Whether it was Zhang Juzheng or Feng Bao, none of them let go of their hands and feet.
Feng Bao tested Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng gave a counterattack, as long as Feng Bao stopped, then Zhang Juzheng would not make any more moves.
But will Feng Bao give up? Of course it can't be, so anticlimactic, where will Feng Bao's prestige go? Something starts, and there's no way to stop.
