Wenyuan Pavilion.

Gao Gong's face was slightly angry, looking at the team of official documents in his hand, he snorted lightly, and said angrily: "Your Majesty really doesn't even ask about the government now......

There were only two people in the pavilion, and the other handsome man with a mustache had been writing something at the desk, and when he heard this, he just smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty is not a lazy person...... There are probably other reasons. ”

Gao Gong snorted lightly and said angrily: "What is the reason, it is nothing more than because of that demon girl...... Chen Hong did this very well, and now he will be fascinated by His Majesty. ”

"Gao Ge Lao still pays attention to some ......" The handsome man couldn't help frowning, and said softly: "However, Gonggong Chen also has some problems, but the origin of the martial girl is worth scrutinizing." ”

Gao Gong wanted to be angry, but when he heard the other party's words, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Taiyue's words are reasonable...... wanted to use Chen Hong's means, but he couldn't find this woman. ”

The so-called Taiyue is the word of Zhang Juzheng, a cabinet scholar, and now in the cabinet, except for him, he is still looked at by Gao Gong, and most of the people around him have been pushed out of the cabinet, but the cabinet is not very prosperous for a while.

Hearing Gao Gong's words at this time, Zhang Juzheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Then who does Gao Ge think has this means?" ”

Gao Gong frowned suddenly, from the prince of the year to the current cabinet chief, even Xu Jie, who is known for his power and scheming, is not Gao Gong's opponent, but he can show the strength of the other party.

When Shen Wuyan was in the capital, he was calculated by Gao Gong, and until now Shen Wuyan has to stay in Liaodong and must not cross that situation.

After a while, Gao Gong muttered softly: "But there are not many people in the court who have a heart...... Feng Bao...... This eunuch has always had a reason with me, could it be him? ”

Feng Bao has not advanced half a step for many years since Gao Gong entered the cabinet, and has always existed in the master of ceremonies Bingbi, and it was because of Gao Gong's intervention that Chen Hong replaced his palm print position, so the two of them had a deep disagreement.

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said lightly: "How can Feng Bao have this kung fu...... What's more, Feng Bao and Chen Hong have always been at odds, could Feng Bao still give this credit to Chen Hong? ”

Gao Gong nodded, and suddenly said, "That...... Who else in the court had such thoughts? ”

Zhang Juzheng chuckled, then rolled up the scroll, and said indifferently: "Why doesn't Elder Ge believe that this matter is Chen Hong's own initiative?" …… With Gonggong Chen's talent and understanding of His Majesty, these things are naturally easy to ......"

Gao Gong was stunned on the spot for a while, looking at the man in the brocade robe in the distance, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

This Mr. Zhang's talent is far from being as simple as he seems, the other party has been holding back all these years, but Gao Gong knows very well that the other party's strength is by no means comparable to these sour and rotten Confucian students in the court.

Now listening to the other party's words, I suddenly felt a little unhappy in my heart, but after thinking about it, I felt more and more that what the other party said was reasonable, so I suddenly felt disgusted with the father-in-law who had been loyal to him.

"Okay, you're Chen Hong...... If the old man can hold you, he will be able to step you down......"

……

On West Chang'an Street.

After Zhang Juzheng walked out of the palace, he was not in a hurry to go home, but turned to the Yueyun Restaurant on the street.

I haven't been here for a few years, and the last time I came, I was invited by the young man, but now I have all kinds of feelings here, after all, things are people, and I still feel sad when I think about it.

Stepping into the building, under the guidance of the guy, into a small pavilion.

Simple food and wine had already been prepared in the room, and the old man in front of him, who was almost white, seemed to have not noticed that someone was coming in, and he still drank and ate meat by himself.

Zhang Juzheng smiled, then sat down opposite the old man, and said, "Mr. He's body is still so healthy...... But I don't know what I came to the capital this time......"

This Mr. He Xinyin He was idle at home in his early years, but now he is unofficial and unemployed, but those who know him know that such an idle old man has never been so simple.

When Yan Song was there, it was the old man's simple advice, coupled with the young man's intrigue and trickery, and Xu Jie's pandering, which finally eradicated the powerful Yan Party.

After Xu Jie was in the court, he probably disobeyed the wishes of Mr. He, the successor of Xinxue, so he secretly instructed the disciples to impeach Xu Jie, although it did not have a real effect, but it also made Xu Jie worry for a while.

Since Xu Jiezhishi, He Xinyin has not been to the capital for several years, probably since Mr. Shen left, he has no intention of coming, presumably he has been at home to focus on writing. Which Cheng thought, and now he has come to the capital again.

Looking at this old man with a remarkable background and extremely powerful, Zhang Juzheng slowly took a sip of wine.

He Xinyin's face was as usual, and he ate a few more bites of food, and then said, "But it's not a big deal...... It's just that seeing His Majesty fall like this now, I am quite sad in my heart. ”

Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your Majesty does not participate in the government, which is probably a good thing, after all, the elder Gao Ge and the ministers have never been in power, the people live in peace, and there are no strong foreign enemies in state affairs...... Why not. ”

"But there are all kinds of things that cannot be ......" He Xinyin suddenly snorted lightly and said: "Although Gao Gong has some knowledge, it is far from what Mr. Zhang wants to compare...... Now, although the imperial court has recovered slightly, it is obviously full of shortcomings...... Hard work is always different from skilled work. ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Gao Ge Lao appointed Wang Chonggu and Mongolia to pay tribute, Pan Ji tamed the water, and Yin Zhengmao quelled the rebellion, could it be that these Mr. He can't see it...... I have read a few books, but I don't dare to compare with Gao Ge Lao. ”

He Xinyin chuckled and said, "I'm afraid it's not that I dare not compare...... But I'm afraid that compared to it, the old man will be angry again......"

Zhang Juzheng heard He Xin's sarcasm, but he didn't want to say more about it, this person's nature is like this, if he is willing to say this, it is in vain to argue.

After a moment of silence, He Xinyin said again: "Gao Gong is indeed talented, but he is too greedy for power...... Now His Majesty is not engaged in political affairs, but let Gao Gong pick up the cheap, ranking first and second, but he is in charge of the ministry, and what is the surname of the Ming Dynasty is a problem. ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head lightly and said bitterly: "If Mr. He talks nonsense like this again, he will have to leave next......"

He Xinyin didn't pay attention to Zhang Juzheng's words, but suddenly asked, "Are you familiar with the way of the sages...... With the world in mind, we want to serve the country and the people. ”

Most of the Ming scholars have this mind, for the sake of the saints to continue learning, for the eternal peace, but those who can do it are a few, but once they are officials, no matter how big or small, they can also be conscientious.

At this time, after He Xinyin asked, Zhang Juzheng did not hesitate and said: "The sage's instructions dare not be forgotten...... I am willing to take the people of the world as my own responsibility, and it is natural to serve the country and the people. ”

He Xinyin nodded slightly, and said with a light smile: "In that case, why doesn't Your Excellency take the position of high arch and replace it...... If the Ming Dynasty goes down like this, it will eventually perish. ”

The Ming Dynasty has had shortcomings for a long time, and Jiajing once exposed this disadvantage, resulting in the trouble of the southern and northern captives, and the treasury was empty when Longqing, and the annual income could not make ends meet, but there was a tendency to destroy the country.

Without waiting for Zhang Juzheng to speak, He Xinyin continued: "Daming now needs a person who will help the building to fall...... Why don't you want to take on this great responsibility? ”

For a while, Zhang Juzheng was speechless, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gao's words must be remembered in my heart, but Mr. Gao ...... That's it, don't talk about it again. ”

Seeing Zhang Juzheng in this state, He Xinyin suddenly laughed, and immediately ate and drank wine, until he was full of wine and food, and then suddenly said: "Liaodong is going to change a lot now...... I'm afraid I'm going to fight with a sword. ”

Zhang Juzheng had also expected this matter, muttered for a while, and said busily: "That person is in Liaodong, so I don't worry...... But I am afraid that His Majesty will not be good for that man. ”

"The sky is high and the birds are flying, Your Majesty and Gao Gong put Mr. Shen in the vast sky of Liaodong, and if you want to contain it, there is no way......" He Xinyin sighed.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "But it can't be regarded as letting it fly...... There are always relatives in Jiangsu and Zhejiang...... Shen Gongzi probably couldn't fly high. ”

"Once Liaodong has sword soldiers, only Mr. Shen can stop the disaster at that time, and he will no longer be afraid of the imperial court...... I have to say that this Mr. Shen is really exhausted. He Xinyin looked at the north from afar, and after a long time, he chuckled.

Although these words are quite accusatory, they make people sound envious and appreciative in any case.

Zhang Juzheng suddenly said curiously: "No matter how bad Liaodong is, there is still Li Chengliang...... Does this have to be so difficult? ”

He Xinyin understood what he meant, and with Li Chengliang's Liaodong Iron Cavalry, it was enough to sweep the invincible opponents in Liaodong.

"Liaodong Iron Cavalry is strong, but it also needs military salaries...... The imperial court is now very short of silver, and most of the officials in the capital have also scraped together the silver in the past few months...... It's too much money to fight......"

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Juzheng was suddenly shocked, the treasury was short of silver, not many people knew about this, and after this half a year of adjustment, he would be able to make up for the shortfall.

But he didn't have time to ask the other party how to know about these court affairs, after all, the other party's disciples are all over the capital, and it is not an exaggeration to know this, and the military situation in Liaodong is particularly important, so he couldn't help but ask repeatedly: "How can Mr. Shen solve this matter?" ”

He Xinyin shook his head and said with a smile: "This is naturally to ask Mr. Shen...... But it was as if silver had never been a problem for him. ”

"That's true." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Back then, he threw hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the imperial court, but Mr. Shen was willing to give it to the court, and later sold the shop to give the silver to the military department...... Xu Wei is still in prison in the Criminal Department. ”

The words changed suddenly, He Xinyin's face changed slightly, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Wen Chang killed his wife by mistake...... But he committed a capital crime, if it weren't for Li Chunfang's care, I am afraid that he would have been beheaded a long time ago. ”

Zhang Juzheng didn't say much, but continued to drink, and after a while, he said, "When does Mr. He plan to leave the capital......

"I probably have to wait for Mr. Shen to come back......" He Xin looked out the window and sighed slightly: "When he comes back, I can rest assured...... But if Mr. Zhang has always been so willing to bow his hands, I will ...... too"

"If you leave early, it will not be easy for the imperial court to be calm for a few years." Zhang Juzheng got up slowly, then turned to leave.
