Chapter 700: Nowhere to Start

This not big, but not small, turmoil finally ended with Qin Gang being dismissed on charges of dereliction of duty and adding a sentence never to be used. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoFrom now on, this young official with a lot of talent and ambition will completely say goodbye to officialdom.

In this regard, the officials in the capital are still quite emotional. For Qin Gang's ability, as long as the officials who have been in contact with him will feel admired. It's just that I didn't expect that such a talented person, and Zhang Juzheng was protected by such a big backer, and he was actually expelled from Beijing in embarrassment because of the Jinyi Guard. This made the officials have a deeper understanding of Jin Yiwei and Yang Zhen, and they were even more afraid of them.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people who don't know much about the inside story, Jinyiwei has gained a big bargain. Although they didn't know why Qin Gang suddenly overstepped his authority and asked the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division to investigate the Zhenfu Division, after the result of not finding the slightest problem, but completely putting his future into it, it meant that they had the upper hand again in the battle between Jinyiwei and Zhang Juzheng's party.

And for those who know the inside story, they are even more convinced that this time the Jinyi Guards will have to celebrate with the crown. When Zhang Ge Lao's subordinates wanted to check their details, the people of Jinyi Wei actually calculated it, but instead calculated Zhang Ge Lao's henchmen to lose their official positions, and this is just a feat that no one has been able to make for so many years. And Yang Zhen, as the mastermind and mastermind behind this incident, will inevitably be proud, right?

But the truth is obviously a little different from what everyone thinks. When Xia Kai and the other brothers learned the exact news of Qin Gang's departure from Beijing, they reported to Yang Zhen with a smug smile on their faces, but they found that their lord's face was covered with a layer of clouds, and they didn't look happy at all.

"My lord, not only did we not suffer a loss this time, but we yin each other, you should be happy, why are you still preoccupied?" Song Guang asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, my lord, a few of my subordinates didn't see your arrangement and plans before, and they did seem a little impatient. But this time we can do it very beautifully, not only to eliminate the suspicion of outsiders, but also to calculate Qin Gang, Zhang Qian, these guys who have a lot to do with Zhang Juzheng, and ruthlessly lose his face, no matter what, it has to be regarded as a complete victory, why are you unhappy? Xia Kai also asked curiously.

Yang Zhen glanced at these henchmen, and then sighed and asked, "Let me ask you, once Qin Gang goes, will Zhang Juzheng be unable to do anything?" ”

"That's naturally impossible, there are several people in the cabinet." Yu Yao said busily.

"Or is it that Zhang Qian was taken away, can it hurt Zhang Juzheng's heart?" Yang Zhen asked again.

Several people immediately shook their heads, Zhang Qian was just Zhang Juzheng's nephew, how could he be sad because of such a personal matter?

"Yes, without Zhang Qian, there will still be many young juniors in the Zhang family to follow him to do things; After Qin Gang is gone, there will also be a second and third right-hand man to help him deal with cabinet affairs. Although it may seem that he has suffered a lot of losses at the moment, in fact, the damage we have done to him is negligible. When Yang Zhen said this, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "If we just do something, I'm sure that even if it is another ten years, it will be difficult for us to shake him Zhang Juzheng." On the contrary, once we miss once and he seizes the opportunity, what awaits us will only be a catastrophe.

"This time, relying on the early warning of the royal governor and the impatience of the opponent, we took the lead, and then calculated them against the guest. But what about the next time? Even if we can still stay awake and deal with their endless attacks at all times, we will lose if we hold on for a long time, and there will always be a trick! ”

After hearing his words, the subordinates who were still full of pride and joy also turned solemn. Shen Yan also nodded and agreed: "My lord is very worried, the comparison of strength between us and him Zhang Juzheng is too great, and we always respond passively, which is bound to be extremely unfavorable to us." There is an old saying that only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. If we were always worried that he would calculate us, then we wouldn't have to do a lot of things. ”

Everyone's expressions became even more gloomy at this time, and the joy that Qin Gang had been driven out of the capital quickly dissipated, and they looked at each other with a sad face, hoping that someone would come up with a proper solution.

But this time, even Shen Yan couldn't say any other way except to point out the problems he was facing, so he could only accompany everyone to be silent.

After a while, Cai Yingyang, who had always been accustomed to silence in this situation, spoke: "What is this?" Since we can't be beaten passively, let's just take the initiative to attack. Second brother, what do you tell us to do, that is, you want us to go to Zhang Juzheng's house, and we won't frown! ”

Several other fierce men were encouraged by him, and they also shouted: "Yes, our Jinyiwei has always been used to bullying people, how can we be ridden on the head?" It's a big deal, just go head-to-head with them! ”

Seeing their appearance of shouting and shouting and killing, Yang Zhen, who was still gloomy, couldn't help laughing: "You guys, we are the official yamen, and we are not gangsters on the street, don't say this kind of stupid talk anymore." ”

But after a pause, he said: "But there is one thing you said right, in this situation, it is absolutely impossible to be passively beaten, and we should also take the initiative." Before, Zhang Juzheng and he put us in two ways in a row, first trying to cheat and trying to trap me in - whether it was from his instructions or not, anyway, he pulled me in - and then mixed sand into our pacification department. Although we have defused it twice, these moves are too passive, and we must defend and attack. It's just that how to attack is the most critical. ”

"It's natural to come hard." Hu Ge also frowned and said: "After all, this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he is the first assistant of the dynasty, and the strength of our Jinyi Guard is obviously not able to deal with him." ”

"Then come soft. Isn't he trying to find our flaws? Then we can also look for his mistakes! Those spies under us don't eat dry food, is he Zhang Juzheng really a saint, can he not make any mistakes? As long as we take some of his handles and make some fuss, it will be enough for him to drink a pot! Xia Kai already had an idea at this time, so he hurriedly mentioned it.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. "Song Guang, as a secret agent, naturally has the most say in this kind of thing.

"How so? Can't even our people find out about him? Xia Kai asked in disbelief.

"Of course, there are problems, and I have several cases of him accepting bribes." After glancing at Yang Zhen, Song Guang said: "But when I proposed to do this before, I was rejected by adults. ”

"Ah......" Everyone was stunned, they didn't understand why Yang Zhen made such a decision, and they couldn't help but look at their own adults. Only Shen Yan was slightly stunned, revealing a look of understanding.

His reaction was also seen by Yang Zhen, so he gave the other party a look and motioned for him to explain on his behalf. Shen Yan nodded at Yang Zhen and said, "It's not wrong for adults to do this, because these little things alone can't hurt Zhang Juzheng's fur at all." Not to mention that the officials of the central and Thai semi-imperial historians have to look up to him, and they don't dare to impeach him Zhang Gelao, even if there is really that iron-faced and selfless person who is impeached, the effect will not be too good. Could it be that a cabinet chief would have been convicted for such a thing? Moreover, everyone knows what the situation is in the court now, and no one's fart is clean, so these are not sinful at all. ”

Everyone was stunned. In the past, the officials they had to deal with were not of high status, so as long as they produced such evidence, it was enough to put them to death. But the Zhang Juzheng he faced today is much heavier than those people in terms of magnitude, so these used moves in the past have no effect.

After listening to the other party's words, Yang Zhen added: "Another point, Zhang Juzheng's reputation in the government and the opposition is extremely loud, no matter what the crime, it may be regarded as slandering him, which is the key to what we really have to do with him." ”

Indeed, with the reputation that Zhang Juzheng enjoys in the government and the opposition now, even if someone finds any substantial evidence, I am afraid that it will not cause much damage to him. Moreover, once he is relieved, the counterattack will definitely be extremely violent. This is precisely the key to the fact that those officials in the DPRK and China who actually do not agree with his reform ideas can only complain in secret, but do not dare to fight with them openly. At least at this time, Zhang Ju is an invincible existence.

Perhaps, only when the Son of Heaven is getting older and collecting some of the imperial power can Zhang Juzheng's power be suppressed. But when it really comes to that time, Yang Zhen and the others are afraid that they will have been cleaned up by Zhang Ge Lao.

Thinking carefully about Zhang Juzheng's helpless reputation and power, everyone suddenly lost their voices, and they all looked sad, but they couldn't say anything about how to deal with it.

Yang Zhen also knew that this matter was really difficult to do, and he had no intention of torturing everyone, so he waved his hand: "You all disperse first, this problem has also bothered me for many days, and I haven't had a clue all the time." ”

"Yes......" The brothers agreed helplessly, their tones full of unwillingness.

At this moment, Hu Ge, who had been thinking about it for a long time, suddenly raised his head and said: "My lord, as the saying goes, things must be opposed, will his strongest point also become his biggest weakness?" ”

"The strongest point will be his weakness?" When Yang Zhen heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and a hazy thought flashed out from the depths of his heart......
