。

The person who prompted Zhang Juzheng to raise this idea was Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was imprisoned in a small courtyard in Ming Shifang - in fact, just like the political prisoners of later generations, since he was not executed at that time, it was definitely impossible to be imprisoned in an ordinary prison - he was already a man of eighty, and now the Xu family is a dead copy, even if he runs away, he can't set off much of a storm, Zhu Yijun is naturally happy to have a good reputation of magnanimity and remembering the old love.

Naturally, such a character cannot be seen at the same time as anyone wants to see.

But Zhang Juzheng is different, as a retired Taifu, his son is Zhang You, who is in the ascendant of the day, under the banner of a disciple visiting the teacher, no one dares to gossip.

The two met and chatted for a long time, and they didn't mention anything about Jiangnan, just like the teachers and students they hadn't seen for many years.

This is not surprising, they are all old fritters who have worked hard in officialdom for many years, and joy and anger are the most basic political qualities. Things have happened, it's useless to say anything, Xu Jie's words are obviously self-exposed. Zhang Juzheng is not suitable to mention it, no matter how tactful his tone is, he is also suspected of revealing people's scars.

So no one mentioned it at all.

However, Xu Jie must be unconvinced in his heart, so when he was leaving, he suddenly said a very strange sentence: "Taiyue has raised a good son, and he is really similar to her mother." ”

This sentence seemed to be emotional, but it shocked Zhang Juzheng in a cold sweat.

What does it mean to be really similar to his mother, doesn't it mean that it is not like his father?

Originally, this was nothing, and it was not that father and son were not like each other.

But I can't stand Zhang Juzheng's own knowing, Zhang You was originally the dragon species of the first emperor, and it is strange that he is really like himself.

Back then, Mu Zong and King Jing seized the throne, Mu Zong actually had the upper hand, or the idea of Gao Gong, who was the prince and who took the lead, but Mu Zong was very lustful, broke too early, and lost the kidney yuan, although he fooled around with the concubines and palace maids all day long, he was born and did not make other people's stomachs.

However, at that time, I didn't know if it was Mu Zong's fault, or his Zhang Juzheng's idea, to enter more beauties, broadcast rain and dew, and Li Kun was sent to Mu Wangfu at this time.

It's just that half a year later, no one is pregnant, and now the Empress Dowager Li is in a hurry, so she asks Feng Bao to discuss with him and prepares to borrow seeds. Since the fewer people who knew about it, the better, and in the end the burden naturally fell on his head.

Then, for more than two months, almost every day or two, two palace maids from King Mu's mansion were secretly sent to his mansion, until the news of Li Kun's pregnancy came.

But he remembered clearly that the night with Li Kun, because he was too tired, he didn't wait until the last moment to die, and it was impossible for Li Kun to get pregnant.

If it weren't for him, the father of the child in Li Kun's womb would only be Mu Zong.

He only told Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao about this, and then Empress Dowager Li was also pregnant. Then, Li Kun had a miscarriage. Then, the palace maids who slept with him disappeared one by one.

He knew that Feng Bao did all these things, and although Empress Dowager Li was quite ambitious, she was actually a kind woman in her bones.

There are really not many people who know about this matter, including Mu Zong, who was kept in the dark, how did Xu Jie know

Or, like Zhang Hong at the beginning, he just vaguely guessed something, and the reason why he asked like this was just a temptation

Or, Zhang Hong already knew, and then told Xu Jie-he never knew whether Empress Dowager Chen knew about it, that woman was very shrewd, even if she didn't know the specifics, she must have guessed something.

He has been hesitating for two days, this matter is too important, Rao is he has been in the sea for a long time, and he still can't make up his mind: assuming that Xu Jie is just a temptation, then rashly telling Zhang You the news, will it boost his ambition The price of rebellion is too great, and if it succeeds, it is better to say, if it fails, the Zhang family will definitely be greatly affected, and this is the last thing he wants to see.

But assuming that Xu Jie knew that he would take 10,000 steps back, even if he was just guessing, he only needed to relay this guess to Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yijun would still trust Zhang Youmo as much as he does now, but he was a dragon with the same royal blood as him, and he had made many meritorious deeds and was famous all over the world.

Zhang You fell out of favor, and those who were waiting for the Zhang family definitely had no good fruit to eat.

"Father, why don't you speak" After waiting for a long time, Zhang You couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted by my father." Zhang Juzheng suddenly came back to his senses: "Actually, I don't have anything to order, I just heard that the king of Shunyi has passed away, and I want to inquire with you about the situation." ”

In an instant, he made a decision, he resolutely could not confess to Zhang You, but he must not let Xu Jie take this eye medicine in front of Zhu Yijun.

Fortunately, Xu Jie is really in his last years, and he has suffered such a big blow, even if he gets up tomorrow morning and is found to have died suddenly in that small courtyard, it is estimated that no one will suspect other aspects.

As for whether this trip will condemn the conscience, jokes, whoever can do his part, who is not stained with blood on his hands

Conscience is something, as long as it can make the Ming Dynasty strong and the people rich, even if he goes to hell after death, he doesn't care.

Zhang Juzheng finally made up his mind here, in the small courtyard where Ming Shifang "detained" Xu Jie, Xu Ge Lao was not easy at all.

That day, he couldn't control his words to Zhang Juzheng, according to his understanding of himself as a student, he must have guessed that he had known the secret of Zhang You's life experience, this Zhang Juzheng was above board on the surface, but in fact he was a ruthless person, and killing himself was almost a sure thing.

So he didn't dare to close his eyes when he slept in the past two days, and when he was eating, he had to call the person in charge of guarding him in to accompany him, but fortunately, although he was a criminal, the food treatment was very good, and the guards only thought he was approachable, but no one doubted him.

He has been trying his best to find a way to meet Zhu Yijun, the matter involves Zhang You's identity, and the relationship is very important, so he has to tell Zhu Yijun in person in order to play the best role in sowing discord.

It's a pity that he is now a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and he asked for it several times, but Zhu Yijun didn't give him a chance to meet at all.

Zhang Siwei is the same guy, when he was in power in the past, he desperately stammered, but now it's good, he didn't even dare to come over and take a look, as if he was a plague god.

There was something in his heart, he put down his chopsticks after eating two bites of dinner, and was about to go to the small courtyard to go around, when a guard suddenly ran in: "Old Pavilion Elder, the official of the Ministry of Officials, Yan Butang, has come to see you, you hurry up and prepare." ”

He was overjoyed, and when he went out, he almost tripped over the threshold, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said as he walked out: "Yan Butang is here, I have to go out to greet him." ”

A few guards stared at each other with big eyes, the day before yesterday, Lord Taifu came over and didn't see Lao Ge Lao so happy, could it be that he still expected Lord Shoufu to come to the rescue of the Governor of Dadu, but he said that according to Lao Ge Lao's crimes, it is light to cut off his head, and it is a blessing to survive, so I want to dream of a comeback.
