Bailisha said: "Zhang Cong." ”

"Zhang Cong?"

"Yes, Zhang Cong." Bailisha nodded affirmatively and said, "Could it be that Your Majesty forgot that Zhuang Youfu's father is a member of the Donglin Party?" ”

"I heard Zhuang Youfu mention that Shi Sanwei was the leader of his family, and after Shi Sanwei was caught by us, he handed it over to Zhuang Youfu and cut him with a thousand knives."

Bailisha said: "Zhang Cong and Zhuang Youfu are like brothers, and under the influence of Zhuang Youfu, Zhang Cong is also deeply heartbroken by the eunuchs, so it is not surprising that he sympathizes with the Donglin Party." ”

Gao Junshan bowed: "You are right, I ignored it." Zhang never has anything to do with these people, does he? ”

"It's normal to have a relationship," Bailisha reminded, "and it seems that it's not just a matter of having a relationship, they're probably already in a group." ”

Gao Junshan said: "I see." I can't have eunuchs around me, right? ”

Bailisha affirmed: "At least a sympathizer of the eunuchs." ”

"Really?"

"Yes. Liu Lishun is one. ”

"Liu Lishun?"

Bailisha explained: "Liu Lishun has been a minister in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and he has been exposed to various factional disputes in the previous dynasty, and it is inevitable that he will be caught in it. ”

Gao Junshan has his own opinions, he will not be swayed by Bailisha's analysis, Zhang Cong and Liu Lishun are the people he should trust, even if they belong to this faction and that gang, it is only the environment they are in, and Gao Junshan is also willing to see that they have gangs and factions, so it will be more convenient to control them.

The status of the imperial power is unshakable, if anyone dares to violate the imperial power, it will be the crime of falling to the head or even exterminating the nine clans, so their struggle is for their respective interest groups.

Gao Junshan understood that Bailisha's purpose in suppressing this case was to not let the Donglin Party members use this case to seek the interests of a small group.

He thought for a moment and said: "Mao Cheng, it's not a way for you to suppress it like this, won't the Donglin Party people appeal again?" ”

Bailisha said: "Your Majesty, now is the time to employ people, especially Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang are still in Jinling, if we dispose of Feng Quan, what will the two of them think?" We must take into account their feelings, not to mention that Feng Quan is indeed a talent, and we can't ruin Feng Quan because of the grievances between them. ”

Gao Junshan admonished Bailisha: "You, the first assistant, must do their job well and clearly tell them that I will not investigate the matter of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain in the previous dynasty, except for those traitors who are national scum." ”

"Yes!"

"If you have something, you can get busy first!"

"The subordinate retreats."

Gao Junshan had no choice but to use these old men of the former dynasty, but his own party wings were fledgling, and once the disciples of Chongwen grew up, he would let these old men of the former dynasty withdraw from the officialdom.

……

On the morning of the next day, Gao Junshan convened a meeting of the four intelligence leaders of the Criminal Department, Shang Shu Tian Fang, Zhao Shichun, the commander of the Gong Wei Division, Sun Kewang, the deputy commander of the Gong Wei Division, and Feng Shuangli, the deputy commander of the Gong Wei Department and the commander of the General Affairs Bureau.

Gao Junshan took the heart hall to the study, the study room is equipped with a bookcase, and the wall hangs the four big characters of "Heaven rewards diligence" written by Zhang Xu, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty.

A sandalwood embossed banana leaf striped table sits in the center, and a plate of sliced red watermelon slices sits on a mahogany Guangshixin coffee table.

Gao Junshan sat on the chair of the Qinghuali relief plate Lingzhi in front of the table, facing these four cronies and subordinates, Gao Junshan, who was wearing loose civilian clothes, put down the emperor's shelf, and talked to them a lot more easily.

He picked up the watermelon plate, walked over to the four generals who were sitting upright, and greeted with a smile: "You don't have to sit upright in a well-dressed manner, just like at home, just order casually." Come, let's all eat watermelon. ”

Everyone, you and I eat watermelon one by one.

After eating the watermelon, Gao Junshan gave each of them a pu fan, allowing them to talk while fanning the fan, the atmosphere seemed relaxed and cordial, and Gao Junshan entered the topic: "Have you heard about Wu Da's impeachment of Feng Quan?" ”

The four of them said in unison: "I heard about it." ”

Gao Junshan asked, "Do you know that Feng Quan was appointed by me?" ”

"Yes." All four replied at the same time.

Gao Junshan said very dissatisfiedly: "The ministers I have appointed as officials, and their Donglin party members also dare to impeach me above the court, is this contempt for me?" ”

Zhao Shichun said: "This kind of impeachment was common in the previous dynasty, so Your Majesty doesn't have to care too much. ”

Tian Fang also said: "Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, at the beginning of Zhu Youzhen's elimination of the eunuch party, Feng Quan was demoted to the common people for the crime of Wei Zhongxian's party, until Zhu Youzhen hanged himself, he was never used. It is not surprising that you are using him now, and the Donglin Party people are attacking him, it is not that the Donglin Party people despise Your Majesty, but because they hate the Eunuch Party too much. ”

Gao Junshan said: "Ming died in the party struggle, and died in the Donglin Party." ”

Zhao Shichun said: "That being said, they are all courtiers, Your Majesty, you have always been hired based on quantity, regardless of birth, why did you suddenly care about it today?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "It's not that I want to care, although our Huaxia Kingdom has been established, but it has not yet achieved complete reunification, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty are still in the south of the Yangtze River, our primary task is to achieve the unification of the whole country, at such a moment, we are not united internally, always thinking about the nest fight, how to complete the great cause of reunification?" ”

Feng Shuangli said: "Your Majesty, what do you want us to do?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Resolve their contradictions." ”

Zhao Shichun shook his head and said: "They are two factions that are incompatible, and it is impossible to resolve the contradictions between them." ”

Gao Junshan said: "I invited you to come, so that you can keep an eye on them for me, and if they walk and make remarks that hinder the overall situation, report to me immediately." ”

The four of them responded in unison: "Obey!" ”

"That's it for today, you all go back and set it up."

Zhao Shichun, Tian Fang, and Feng Shuangli got up at the same time to retire to Gao Junshan, and Sun Kewang got up and called the maid to clean up the watermelon peel in the study.

When the maid was busy cleaning up, Gao Junshan stood up and stretched, feeling a little hungry, and before the time for the meal came, he asked the maid to go to the imperial dining room of the Qianqing Palace to get some snacks to eat.

The maid had just gone out, and saw Zhang Cong hurriedly breaking in, he was holding a piece of paper in his hand, and he shouted as soon as he saw Gao Junshan:

"Your Majesty, that thing is not good!"

Sun Kewang said: "You are so bold, you can't do a single salute when you see Your Majesty?" ”

Zhang Congcai knelt down and said, "Zhang Cong bows to Your Majesty!" ”

Gao Junshan waved his hand: "Get up!" What did you just say that you just said badly? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that thing is not good!"

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Congdao: "I prepared hundreds of baskets of vegetables, waiting to change the rice, from last night until dawn, and I didn't see a grain of rice come out, but there was such a piece of paper, I don't know what is written on it." ”

Gao Junshan took the piece of paper and opened it to take a look, it turned out to be a letter from the headquarters to him, because it was simplified characters, Zhang Cong, who didn't recognize a few words, of course couldn't understand it.
