Chapter 124: Danger comes from Huo Guang
To be able to become Zhang Juzheng's henchman, there must be something special, You Qi didn't wait for Zhang Juzheng to ask, he took the initiative to admit his mistake, this was completely out of the correct prediction of the situation, he saw it, the master was very angry, it must have been Lei Chen who told him everything that happened, so he didn't dare to make any quibbles, only dared to carefully remind him of the credit he had followed for many years, in exchange for his tolerance.
Zhang Juzheng's expression was slightly relaxed: "It's good that you can take the initiative to admit your mistakes, but you bend the law for personal gain, forcibly demolish people's houses, and privately arrest officials......
"The old man spares his life, the little one should be damned, please ask the master to spare the little one this time......" Hearing the meaning of Zhang Juzheng's words, You Qi kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged for mercy.
Zhang You watched coldly, Wang's face was pale, and the rest of the people were already frightened like chaff, the porter took the lead, knelt on the ground like a dumpling, and mourned in unison: "Master Kaig, Manager You has already known his mistake, just spare him this time!" ”
Seeing this situation, Wang also interjected: "Master, as the saying goes, knowing mistakes can be changed, and kindness is great......" Zhang Yunxiu and his brothers, who listened, frowned, and said in their hearts that their mother was too kind, and they were not less pickled by this old man on weekdays, and it was rare to have a chance, why did he still ask for his favor? It's a pity that You Qi has accumulated power for too long, and they can only complain about the Wang family in their hearts, but no one dares to come forward and punish You Qi heavily.
You Qi kowtowed, crying bitterly, snot thrown out, but he was a little proud in his heart, everyone in the house begged for mercy for himself, and others didn't care, even the lady came forward, how could the lord have some scruples, right?
Zhang You has never been an open-minded person, seeing Zhang Ju's hesitation, he couldn't help but smile, and said with emotion: "No wonder people say that Mr. Chu Bin can top half of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when I see it today, I really have a good name, admire, admire!" ”
When these words came into his ears, You Qi's crying stopped, and he secretly screamed badly, Zhang You, this kid is going to push himself into the fire pit, his heart twitched, his breathing suddenly stopped, and he peeked at Zhang Juzheng, and saw that his expression changed instantly, and his face was already gloomy as if he was about to drip water, and hurriedly said: "Master, don't listen to Lord Zhang to sow discord, the little one is loyal to you......"
"What is Mr. Chu Bin anxious about? I didn't say you weren't sincere with Motosuke-sama, did you? It is precisely because of your loyalty that adults trust you, and you have the trust of adults, that your name of 'Mr. Chu Bin' is getting louder and louder, otherwise, your eldest brother can be promoted beyond the promotion? Will Jinyiwei buy your account? ”
Wulun Zhang Juzheng is not his father, just for the sake of the future of the empire, Zhang You is also determined to clean up You Qi, so although these words are a joke, their essence is like a blade, and it is fiercely pierced into Zhang Juzheng's heart.
"...... me?" You Qi was asked, he opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he was afraid of angering Zhang Juzheng even more, his face was red and his ears were red, he was sweating profusely, and he wanted to bite Zhang You to death.
Zhang You's words just touched the nerves of Zhang Juzhengmin*, okay, Lao Tzu's dignified first assistant, trembling all day long, walking on thin ice, afraid of falling into the truth, you are good, acting mischief under the banner of Lao Tzu is tolerable, which is unbearable!
"Enough, don't talk about it, Lei Xiao, drag him out for me, take thirty sticks heavily, remember, you must give me a heavy beating!"
Lei Xiao was at the door, and when he heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and rushed into the flower hall with his subordinates and dragged You Qi, who was struggling to beg for mercy, out.
Everyone was silent, lowered their heads, for fear of being killed by the pond fish, but Zhang Yunxiu peeked at Zhang You, and when he swept towards him, he gave him a thumbs up.
Crackling, the egg-thick jujube stick fell on You Qi's fart* strands, and soon his screams like killing pigs were heard.
Zhang Juzheng was angry, listening to this, but his heart was really not good, he got up and walked to the back hall, and when he walked to the back door, he suddenly stopped and beckoned to Zhang You: "You come with me!" Then he stepped out of the back door of the flower hall.
Zhang You followed Zhang Juzheng all the way back, passed through a moon gate, and entered a small courtyard, which was far away from the flower hall at the moment, and You Qi's screams were no longer real.
Zhang Juzheng didn't speak, sat down on a rattan chair under the shade of a tree, pointed to another rattan chair next to him, and motioned for Zhang You to sit too.
Zhang You didn't sit down, standing in front of Zhang Juzheng, condescending, looking at him with a complicated expression.
"I know why you haven't come to see me, and there are some things I don't want to explain, so you'd better not ask!"
Zhang You didn't expect that Zhang Juzheng actually said these words in the first sentence, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, oh, you lifted your pants and didn't admit it, and you didn't even ask? Do you really think Lao Tzu is rare to be your illegitimate child? If it weren't for the empire that couldn't live without you, Lao Tzu wouldn't bother to care if you lived or died!
"My lord thinks left, I don't have any interest in those rumors, and I came here today just to coincide with their meeting."
"That's very good, thank you for giving the official a wake-up call, but it's not right for you to kill people casually, go to Shuntian Mansion by yourself for a while, and the provincial official will be in trouble."
"I don't have to worry about it," Zhang You sat next to Zhang Juzheng with a smile: "I will explain to Your Majesty about the murder, but the Lord should think more about it." ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Zhang Juzheng asked casually.
"Do you know that the Zhang Mansion has reached a critical moment of life and death?" It's not okay to be angry, what needs to be said, always have to be said, after all, compared to the future of the empire, personal grievances seem insignificant.
"Survival? Moment of truth? Zhang Juzheng laughed, glanced at Zhang You, and said: "This official is the cabinet assistant, the official residence is the best, not only Your Majesty, but also the trust of the Queen Mother of the two palaces, the court and the court, don't dare to disobey, you are just a *milk* stinky hair doll, lucky to please Your Majesty, dare to make such shocking words?" Okay, the official asks you, where does the danger come from? ”
In this way, it's not that he is really arrogant and arrogant, but he is just deliberately trying to test Zhang You.
"The danger comes from Huo Guang!"
Zhang You said with a light smile, Zhang Juzheng was originally leaning on the rattan chair, and when he heard this, his heart was shocked, he sat up straight, leaned over to Zhang You, and stared at him intently: "How do you say this?" ”
In order to teach Zhu Yijun a lesson, Empress Dowager Li once showed him "The Biography of Huo Guang", which was seen in the classics, but whether it was true or not, Zhang You did not dare to guarantee it.
However, he can now be sure that looking at Zhang Juzheng's reaction, it should be true.
"It's very simple, Your Majesty is getting older, and you are no longer the child who obeyed adults in everything, just like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, adults have great power, he may have no way to take you, but what if one day, you are gone?"
"This point, the official also thought of it, but I want to go back, but the order is not allowed!" In just a few words, Zhang Juzheng has already agreed with Zhang You's political wisdom, and while he is grateful, he simply speaks openly and honestly.
"Then you still don't want to let go!" Zhang You suddenly had an idea, and suddenly thought of a wonderful solution, but he hesitated a little and hesitated: "Actually, I have a way, but I don't know if it will work......
"It's okay, how do you know if you don't say it?" Zhang Juzheng interrupted Zhang You, but he didn't have much hope, without him, Zhang You was too young, and he had been troubled for many years, what good way could he come up with?
