Chapter 525: The Temptation Plan
To be honest, Zhang Fan is a little uncomfortable now.
That day, Ge Shouli came to discuss things with him, but now they only knew that Feng Bao was trying to deal with Gao Gong, who had long been unable to threaten him, and now although the matter had not yet appeared, no matter from any aspect, they could also see this sign.
Therefore, this time Ge Shouli was even more anxious than Zhang Fan, and he also found Zhang Fan first.
Ge Shouli had something to worry about, he understood that this time, Feng Bao would most likely not use the gentle way before, besides, nothing had happened now that could make Feng Bao hold the high arch.
Ge Shouli's conjecture is indeed correct, and not only has there been nothing recently, but there seems to be no reason for Feng Bao to create something, so in Ge Shouli's opinion, I am afraid that Feng Bao will strike head-on this time, although it is said to be positive, but it is absolutely impossible to put it on the bright side.
However, Ge Shouli was a little puzzled by this, although Feng Bao had been in charge of the East Factory for many years, his methods were very spicy, and he was also good at taking trouble, but no matter what, whether it made sense or not, he still had to find a reason, so Feng Bao had never used this kind of action that didn't ask why, and didn't need any reason to act immediately.
This also made Ge Shouli a little confused, and he really couldn't figure out what Feng Bao planned to do for a while.
In fact, it stands to reason that at this time, what Feng Bao should do most is to send someone to assassinate Gao Gong, although Gao Gong is no longer in the court, but after all, he has served as the head of the cabinet in the court, no matter who it is, even now Zhang Juzheng sees Gao Gong and has to call him Gao Ge Lao, if Gao Gong dies because he is killed, no matter what, the court will not sit idly by, and must send someone to investigate.
And Feng Bao, who is closest to the Empress Dowager Li, is naturally able to get close to the water and get the moon first, and the East Factory has more power than the Jinyi Guard, and he doesn't care about the means, of course, it is okay to let the Criminal Department send someone to investigate, but now it is the Empress Dowager Li who is in charge, and she has the final say on who to send.
And if Feng Bao is in charge, when the time comes, he will go to Gao Gong's house to investigate, then I don't know what will be found, perhaps, there will be some Gao Gong although he was expelled, but he is not thinking about it, and he is still exchanging letters with some people in the court, and at that time, Gao Gong is already dead, and there is no proof of death, and it is not fabricated by Feng Baolai.
This is not delusional, after all, there are a lot of people who were with Gao Gong in the court back then, although it is said that after Gao Gong lost power, some of these people were rectified by Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, and some were turtles with shrunken heads, and they were silent on weekdays, but this does not mean that Feng Bao will forget their existence.
It can be said that the reason why Feng Bao will mention Gao Gong, a person who has no threat to him at all now, this time is just to get rid of these people.
This is what Ge Shouli is most worried about, although Feng Bao has already cleaned up a large number of people at that time, and only a few people remain, but it depends on how domineering and powerful Gao Gong was at that time, and how many people were willing or unwilling to act according to Gao Gong's meaning.
Therefore, although only a small number of people have flowed down now, there are still a lot of them, not to mention local officials, even in the capital, there are now hundreds of people with different official positions, that is, Feng Bao's so-called "remnants of high thieves".
If Gao Gong died, and Feng Bao came to fabricate evidence, who knows what Feng Bao would come up with, last year's case of Minister Wang, although it was closed in a short period of time, but Minister Wang's matter was not resolved, and it meant that there was no result.
Now, if Feng Bao succeeds, whether this matter will be brought up again by Feng Bao is very suspenseful.
Ge Shouli naturally couldn't watch so many heads fall to the ground in the court, he had to find a way to stop Feng Bao, but Ge Shouli was faced with a guess that Feng Bao had never done before, although he didn't like Feng Bao's senseless revenge, but he also felt that Feng Bao was not a person who was incorrigible in the cholera dynasty, so now Ge Shouli was not sure whether Feng Bao would directly let people kill Gao Gong.
If this matter was changed to Zhang Fan, then he didn't have to think about it at all, the Feng Bao he knew was much more understanding than Ge Shouli, if it was Feng Bao, Zhang Fan knew that he would definitely be able to do this kind of thing.
However, Ge Shouli didn't mention this matter to Zhang Fan, so Zhang Fan had no way of knowing.
I also want to mention here that the reason why Ge Shouli didn't mention his guess to Zhang Fan was originally what Ge Shouli wanted to say, but after he saw Zhang Fan's expression of feeling a little guilty because he didn't stand up and say anything last time, Ge Shouli changed his mind, he had already made plans this time, and wanted to confront Feng Bao alone and from the front.
This is more direct than the last time, and it can provoke Feng Bao more, and Ge Shouli doesn't want Zhang Fan to get involved, he understands that if he can succeed, then he alone is enough; But if he couldn't stop Feng Bao, adding one more Zhang Fan would not help.
However, for the time being, Ge Shouli had not found a way to fight against Feng Bao.
This time the matter could not be started from Zhang Juzheng like the last time, although he held some things about Zhang Juzheng from Yang Bo in his hands, but this does not mean that Ge Shouli can endlessly threaten Zhang Juzheng to help him with these things, everything has a limit, and it is not good to exceed that limit.
Besides, this time it was not Zhang Juzheng who was the first to make trouble, Ge Shouli actually did not object to Zhang Juzheng's way of not asking whether the process was right or wrong as long as he could achieve his goal, his friend Yang Bo was a supporter of this point of view, and even Ge Shouli himself did not object to this way of doing things.
After going back, Ge Shouli thought about it all night, but he couldn't think of any way at all.
However, this did not mean that Ge Shouli would give up, after all, he had already made up his mind.
Therefore, in the morning of the next day, when Zhang Juzheng raised the name of Gao Gong again, and Feng Bao also agreed, just as the double reed performance of the two was in full swing, Ge Shouli stood up and spoke.
However, this time Ge Shouli's opening was a little different, which also made Zhang Fan, who was standing on top of the main hall, a little confused.
If it had been before, if Ge Shouli had stood up against this kind of thing, it would have been fierce in words and firm in thought.
However, this time, Ge Shouli stood up and spoke, but it was very different, although the thoughts in his heart did not change a little, and he was still very firmly against the words of the two, but Ge Shouli's words were not as sharp and unforgiving as before, and they became a little soft.
What Ge Shouli said surprised the courtiers, including Zhang Fan, after all, Ge Shouli would stand up and speak, which was something that any of them could have imagined, but Ge Shouli would speak like this, and to be honest, no one thought of it.
And Zhang Fan changed very quickly, after all, he only talked to Ge Shouli yesterday, and after Ge Shouli left yesterday, Zhang Fan also thought about it for a long time, and now that Ge Shouli's words have just been finished, Zhang Fan has also figured it out in his heart.
Like Zhang Fan, there are also Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng came back to his senses faster, almost just the moment Ge Shouli spoke, Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a while, and then immediately returned to his usual expression, and he had already thought of the reason in his heart.
And Feng Bao, who was standing next to the dragon chair, was also surprised at Ge Shouli's words at first, but knew that in the end, Feng Bao's face did not show an angry expression, but a smile and a happy look.
And seeing Feng Bao's appearance, Ge Shouli was also relieved, obviously he knew that his words had worked.
The reason why Ge Shouli did this was precisely because he couldn't see what Feng Bao was planning at all this time, so when he said this now, he showed that he was extremely against Feng Bao in his heart, but what he said made people feel that it was not without a little room for negotiation.
And the reason why Feng Bao was happy was the same, originally, this matter only needed to be conspired, but he discussed it with Zhang Juzheng, if he did it without saying anything, I am afraid that it will not be very easy to talk in the future, so they will mention Gao Gong in the morning court in the past two days, the purpose is to remind people first, so that it will be convenient for them to act in the future.
But they also understand that as soon as things are said, then everyone will know in advance.
In Feng Bao's opinion, it is nothing for others to know about this matter, but the only thing he is worried about is Ge Shouli, the last time it was Ge Shouli who made him yellow, so this time Feng Bao was full of confidence, but he was also a little worried in his heart.
And now, Ge Shouli's words came out, although they were against himself, but in Feng Bao's view, things had already taken a turn for the better, and Ge Shouli's words were no longer as aggressive as before, and there seemed to be some room for negotiation.
To be honest, Feng Bao didn't know how to put Ge Shouli in order before, but now that Ge Shouli spoke first, in his opinion, it was much easier.
Coercion, inducement, Feng Bao doesn't know what specific method should be used, but Feng Bao has been a eunuch of Dongchang for so many years, he understands one thing, that is, no matter what things are said to anyone, it is another bargaining chip, of course, it is impossible for the other party to tell you his bottom line, which requires you to dig it yourself.
Ge Shouli is indeed loyal and honest, but Ge Shouli is just an ordinary person, and Feng Bao believes that he will have a way to defeat him.
It's just that Feng Bao was proud, but he was a little forgetful, he didn't think that maybe this was Ge Shouli calculating him, maybe he couldn't say,
