In recent years, although there are always many officials or scholars waiting to see him in front of Zhang Gelao's mansion, there will always be gathered there, watching the traffic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut in fact, the order here has always been very orderly, not to mention that there are many contradictions because of people, even quarrels and other things have never happened, and sometimes it is even quieter here, not at all like waiting for a lot of people.

But this phenomenon has completely disappeared in the past few days, many Qingliu officials and people living in the capital have always gathered in front of the door of Zhang's Mansion for several days, shouting at the inside, even if the sound is separated by several portals, it can be transmitted into the courtyard, making the people of Zhang's Mansion inside angry, but helpless.

In the next period of time, no matter what happens outside the house, whether someone scolds or slams the door, the people in the house are not allowed to go out for half a step, otherwise they will be expelled from the house immediately.

In this regard, a housekeeper like Zhang Shoulian and Zhang Juzheng's henchmen naturally understand the master's painstaking efforts, and know that in such a situation, they can only keep a low profile and forbear, otherwise they will only cause more trouble. But at the same time, he is also unhappy for the master, why does no one think about the master, why is he burdened with such a name? Is he just for his own position?

It's a pity that he can't talk to those people who keep scolding outside, so he can only look at the old man sitting in a daze on the chair next to the lotus pond in the inner courtyard with some concern, I don't know how uncomfortable he is now.

Although it was only a few days of work, Zhang Juzheng's appearance seemed to be more than ten years old. Especially now that he looks like this, even the long hair that has always been the most diligent in grooming is a little unkempt, and with the half of the black and white hair, it looks a little droopy.

Zhang Juzheng stared at the lotus pond for a long time, which had no scenery, and seemed to think a lot in his head, but he didn't seem to think about anything. He was well aware of the outside world's perception, in fact, he knew that this would be the result as early as when he made this decision.

The death of his father was indeed a source of grief for him, but his life's desires were above the current court, and he really didn't want to leave anywhere. Leaving means complete failure, and he can see this better than anyone else. Because he knows very well how many people's interests have been touched by his new policies, and when he is in his position, there are many people who are secretly acting against him, let alone once he leaves this position. At that time, those guys will definitely destroy all the new laws they have established as quickly as possible.

And this is only the beginning, next, how will they deal with him Zhang Juzheng? Zhang Juzheng can also vaguely guess this. Because at the beginning, after driving away the former Shoufu Gao Gong, he also made a move to completely get rid of Gao Gong.

It was only later, because some things kept happening, and some people came to the rescue, that Gao Gong was sure to be safe. He Zhang Juzheng doesn't want Gao Suqing's ending to fall on his head, his pride does not allow his life and death to be in the hands of others, he wants to control everything!

Racing in his mind, Zhang Juzheng thought of the attitude of the Son of Heaven again this time. Although the Son of Heaven has been on his side since the incident, and he is trying his best to keep him and want him to win his affection, but the ups and downs of the political arena for many years still made Zhang Juzheng see some problems inside, and what he is doing now does not seem like what he will do at all.

What kind of person is Wanli, Zhang Juzheng thinks that no one in the world knows him better than himself. After all, he is a student who has been carefully cultivated since he was a child, what decision will he make, because of what he made this decision, Zhang Juzheng can still guess a rough idea.

In his opinion, Wanli is certainly dependent on himself, but he is also hostile. In the early years, he was even more wary of himself because of some accidental things, and even had the intention of getting rid of himself. It was only as I grew older that I hid this thought.

Yes, it is hidden rather than dispelled. Although Wanli has always been well hidden, and seems to have a lot of respect for himself, he is still hostile to himself in his heart. This can be clearly felt from some of the eyes with the emperor.

Originally, because of this view, Zhang Juzheng was still a little worried that the emperor would agree to his invitation because of a momentary anger. But in fact, it seems that the little emperor has indeed matured a lot, at least he has a clear sense of priorities, and knows that the court is indispensable to himself.

But then the emperor's various practices made Zhang Juzheng even more uneasy. He actually protected himself when the ministers attacked him, and even scolded the ministers at the court meeting. This kind of practice is really completely different from the Son of Heaven in Zhang Juzheng's judgment. In his mind, the other party categorically refused to oppose himself and the courtiers.

A wry smile came out from the corners of Zhang Juzheng's mouth, of course he knew that in fact, even if the emperor did this, the officials would not feel that the emperor was wrong, but would put greater hatred on themselves. In his mind, the emperor shouldn't have seen this, but he didn't expect that he would actually do it, and he did it so decisively!

And the facts also proved his judgment, sure enough, after the emperor's words, there were more people scolding outside the palace than before, and I heard that the number of people who impeached him was several times more than before.

"Your Majesty, where are you going to put my old bones on the fire and roast them...... I'm afraid that after this time, my reputation in the court will inevitably plummet, is this what you mean? Zhang Juzheng said in a voice that only he could hear: "If this is the case, you have indeed grown up a lot." And if this is what someone has taught you, then this person must be a great enemy who hates me to the bone and wants to put me to death! Thinking of this, his eyes sank again, and he thought of a news from the palace a few days ago - the day after his resignation, the Son of Heaven summoned Yang Zhen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to talk secretly for a long time!

Now that I think about it carefully, it is really possible that this happened under Yang Zhen's guidance. In other words, it was after listening to Yang Zhen's suggestion that Wanli decisively fought with the courtiers for his own sake. And its purpose is to put itself in opposition to the courtiers.

This Yang Zhen, who had failed to clean him up several times before, put it aside for the time being. Now it seems that this is indeed an extremely dangerous person. And with Zhang Juzheng's understanding of him, this person has always acted ruthlessly, I'm afraid these are not the real killer moves of the other party to deal with him, I'm afraid that there will be more difficult troubles to deal with next.

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng's body, who had been sitting still, trembled, and a very bad premonition rose from the depths of his heart. I just thought about it carefully, but I couldn't grasp the reason.

In the Calm Division, Yang Zhen, who was contemplating and thinking, seemed to have a feeling, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. At the right time, there was a sudden knock on the half-covered door, and Xia Kai called outside: "Your Excellency, ......"

"Come in." Yang Zhen pulled out of his thoughts at this time, and when he saw this subordinate coming to him, he smiled and asked, "How is it, but someone in front of the Zhang Mansion came back with news?" ”

"Your Excellency, it's really a god." Xia Kai smiled and slapped the other party's ass: "It is true that the brother over there sent a message back, saying that there are more people around the door of his mansion today, and the Zhang mansion is still closed, and he doesn't even dare to respond." If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that it won't be long before Zhang Juzheng can only leave the capital in a gloomy manner. ”

"You're taking it too simply. How could Zhang Juzheng be such an easy person to give up? If he had really wanted to go, he wouldn't have waited until today; And since he plans to stay, even if there are many people's criticism and criticism, he will not take it seriously. Yang Zhen shook his head decisively.

"But...... Judging from the current situation, even if he has the cheekiness to stay, his prestige in the court has been lost, how can he lead the ministers? I'm afraid that even people's hearts won't obey him, right? ”

"The human heart? What's that? Yang Zhen pursed his lips disdainfully: "For those officials, interests are the most important, if Zhang Juzheng still holds their power to promote and promote, even their fortunes are determined by Zhang Gelao's words, do they dare to disobey their dispatch?" Don't look at them shouting fiercely now, when the time comes, they will still obey their orders. ”

"But ......" Xia Kai said in disbelief: "It's all like this, will he Zhang Juzheng really stay?" Even if the Son of Heaven keeps it again and again, but with the attitude of the ministers, he can't force him to stay, right? ”

"Yes, this incident is indeed a bit big, and it is really not a way to go on like this. You have to help him......" Yang Zhen touched his chin and said with a smile.

"Help him?" Xia Kai thought he had misheard and looked at his boss in surprise.

"Since the matter is not small, then I will help them add more firewood, make it bigger, and burn it so that everyone will not dare to participate in this matter anymore, and things will be much easier." Yang Zhen's eyes flickered and said: "Moreover, I have already instructed Hu Ge to do this matter, presumably at this time, others should come back." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Ge's voice came from outside the door: "Your Excellency......"

"Come in." Yang Zhen smiled even more, looked at Xia Kai who was surprised, and said, "How about it, have the things of those two people been arranged?" ”

"Back to my lord, the Hanlin Academy edited Wu Zhongxing, and reviewed Zhao Yongxian, we have already made arrangements, presumably in the next two days, the two of them will do something according to our wishes." Hugo replied with a smile.

Ignoring Xia Kai, who looked dazed, Yang Zhen nodded at Hu Ge with satisfaction: "Yes, next, the big drama is about to be staged, we just need to keep our eyes open and watch carefully." ”
