Chapter 41 Abandoning the Pawn to Protect the Car

In the warm Chungyi Hall, Liu Shouyou was already sweating. www.biquge.info He didn't have to look at this recital at all, and with the wisdom of Jinyiwei's ears and eyes, he naturally knew this recital that had a great relationship with himself at the first time. But at this time, he still picked up the music from in front of him and looked at it carefully.

Feng Bao's cold voice sounded from above his head again: "Liu Dudu, what are you Jinyi Wei going to do with me, you might as well speak it out and listen to it?" ”

"Bang bang...... The only thing Liu Shouyou could do at this time was to kowtow heavily, although there was a thick carpet on the ground, but judging from the sound, he was really hard. While kowtowing, he whispered and defended: "Shuanglin Gong, even if you have a heavenly courage for Shouyou, Shouyou will not dare to do such a heart-wrenching thing." ”

After seeing that he had kowtowed seventeen or eighteen heads, and even his forehead was red and swollen, Feng Baocai exhaled lightly and said, "Stop, get up and talk back." ”

"Xie Shuanglin Gong." Liu Shouyou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and slowly stood up after picking up the note. He was really frightened just now, in the past few years of working with Feng Bao, he was quite afraid of this young literary eunuch, this person seems to be gentle, but once he turns his face, he is a ruthless character who will beat people into the eighteenth layer of hell. Feng Bao's words just now didn't look too heavy, but the threat contained in them was several times heavier than being reprimanded a few times.

Feng Bao stared at Liu Shou for a while before continuing to return to the topic just now: "Did Jin Yiwei really receive that secret report?" ”

Liu Shou nodded: "I did receive it, and the lower official also brought it." After saying that, he took out a thick stack of papers from his sleeve and respectfully placed it on the desk.

Feng Bao took it, and then lowered his head and looked at it casually. The more he looked at it, the more unkind his expression became, and finally he looked up and asked, "Since you have this, why didn't you report me earlier?" ”

"Shuanglin Gongrong, the lower officials are thinking that this matter is really not good for Lord Shoufu, and he thinks that only our Jinyiwei has found out the problem, so he thinks that as long as he ignores it, he can ignore it. Behold...... Those people down there are so bold as to make such a big deal out of their own initiative. ”

"Confused!" Feng Bao reprimanded. But in fact, he also knew in his heart why Liu Shouyou did this, and the other party was also worried that he would be hung up if he sent the secret report. He is the commander of Jinyiwei, and he is naturally responsible for all the things of Jinyiwei, especially for provoking the powerful of the court like this, he dare not take responsibility. So the best way is to press the matter, as if there is no secret report.

But Feng Bao still wants to say that he is confused, didn't Liu Shouyou think that the other party would have a backhand if he dared to make such a secret report? It is precisely because of his confusion that Zhang Juzheng and himself are very passive now, which is why Feng Bao was so angry at the beginning. Of course, he believed that Liu Shouyou was afraid and loyal to himself, and knew that he would not dare to do this kind of thing behind his back, but there was still a necessary beating.

Seeing Feng Bao scolding himself for being confused, Liu Shouyou's heart was completely put back in its original place. Only for his own people, Shuanglin Gong would scold such words in such a tone.

"If you had reported this earlier, whether it was me or Mr. Zhang, we would have already taken countermeasures, how could we be as passive as this time. Now, even if most of what is written in it is false, people will think it is true. In the eyes of others, it was clear that I instructed Jinyiwei to withhold the secret report, in order to help Mr. Zhang. And Mr. Zhang just wanted to defend himself at this time, but it was difficult for anyone to believe it. Do you know how much trouble you have caused just because you suppressed this secret report? Feng Bao knocked on the desk and said unhappily.

Liu Shouyou lowered his head, but he only said yes. In fact, he knew very well that if there was no later recital, if he dared to send this secret report before, it would still be difficult to escape reprimand, and even make Feng Bao feel that he could not control Jinyiwei, and he might be replaced in the end.

Feng Bao sighed again: "Now this matter can only be remedied slowly." You Jinyiwei also came forward to clarify, and said that you were careless for a while, so you ignored this secret report. Although I can't hide it from someone who cares, it's also an explanation, isn't it? ”

"Yes, that's how the lower official will go back." Liu Shouyou hurriedly responded, this little thing is not a problem, Jinyiwei's reputation is not good, and he can't feel it more.

"What are you going to do next?" Feng Bao remembered something and asked.

"Next...... Shuanglin Gong refers to those people in Huguang? The lower officials will definitely transfer them back to the capital as soon as possible and dispose of them again! Liu Shouyou said hatefully, now he really has the heart to kill these troublemakers.

"Can you use your brain in doing things, don't just think about fighting and killing all day long. Now that you bring people back, everyone knows that there is a problem. And from the bright side, they are meritorious, so what do you rely on to rectify them? Feng Bao shook his head again and again, as if he was very dissatisfied with him.

Liu Shouyou hurriedly said: "It's the lower official who is in a hurry and loses his sense of proportion...... In fact, he doesn't know the severity, he just shows his loyalty in front of Feng Bao.

"By the way, who is the Tang Feng mentioned above?"

"He's a hundred. Because Qianhu Zhai Qu, who was originally in charge of Huguang, was seriously ill, he was in charge of Huguang for the past two years. It's also that the lower officials didn't check for a while, so they ......"

"Well, I don't need to talk about these things anymore. This Tang Feng, you will promote him to deputy Qianhu, how can you say that people can be regarded as meritorious. and this captain named Yang Zhen, who dared to go to the yamen to complain, also had to be promoted. Feng Bao suddenly nodded two copies of the book with his fingers.

"Huh?" Liu Shouyou is really a little strange this time, why do these two initiators have to be promoted?

"Promote them, and send them somewhere else in a few days, so that no one else can say anything. In Huguang's place, they must not be kept. Feng Bao pointed out the intention, which made Liu Shouyou suddenly understand.

After a few more words of exhortation to him, Feng Bao waved him away. This time, I called him to get rid of the secret report to see what was wrong, just to beat him up. Now that both goals have been achieved, there is no need to keep him.

Liu Shouyou kowtowed to Feng Bao again and turned around to leave, but heard Feng Bao suddenly say again: "Slow." Who gave you this secret message? ”

"This ...... It is the commander of the same knowledge of the punishment of Jiuru. ”

"Then look at him, this person is just afraid that it is not ordinary."

When leaving Dongchang, Liu Shouyou not only had an extra red envelope on his head, but also had one more thing in his heart, was this Xing Jiuru his enemy in the end?

The city of Beijing had already fallen silent, and the north wind was blowing tighter.

But in a study room that is more magnificent than Zhongyi Hall, it is still warm like spring. Feng Baozheng, who had changed his clothes, sat side by side with Zhang Juzheng, who was wearing a loose robe, and the latter was squinting at the contents of those secret reports, and sighed after a long time: "What is written on this is roughly accurate." And the other party is powerful at this point, they don't need to make up anything at all, these alone are enough to make Hu Lin and other officials lose their official positions, not to mention, or even ruin their reputation! And because of the sudden attack on both sides, we can't fight back even if we want to. ”、

Feng Bao also looked solemn at the moment: "Then what is Mr. Zhang going to do?" ”

Zhang Juzheng didn't answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "Yongting, do you know what this pavilion has been busy with recently?" ”

"I heard that because of the various shortcomings of my Ming officialdom, Mr. has been trying his best to rectify the rule of officials in the past few months."

"Yes, but it's not a few months, it's a few years, and even the old man has always had such a wish since he became an official, and he has been thinking about what to do. And this time, I am going to make a move to the Son of Heaven called the test method, maybe I can improve the chaotic officialdom now. ”

"Is there such a thing? If Mr. Zhang can really do this, it will be a great merit to my Ming Dynasty. Feng Bao happily bowed his hand and said: "Then I have to thank Mr. on behalf of the emperor and the queen mother." ”

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly waved his hand and said that he didn't dare to be. Then he sank his face again: "But at this juncture, such a thing happened." Even if it weren't for these two attacks, in order for me to implement the method of passing the test, I couldn't guarantee Hu Lin and others. What's more, now that they are interested in involving my Jiangling Zhang family, then I just can't avoid suspicion. ”

"What Mr. Zhang means ......" Feng Bao seemed to have guessed his mind, but still asked.

"If you are willing to give, you will have to give. In order to pass the test, you can only sacrifice Hu Lin and others. No matter which official is involved in the Huguang corruption case, we will never tolerate it and will investigate it to the end. Yongting, this incident must be settled as soon as possible, and I must not delay my major governance. As for what to do, I think you know better than I do, and you are better suited to do it. ”

"Feng Bao understands." Feng Bao nodded and said, "But Mr. Zhang can only rest assured, I will definitely not let the Jiangling Zhang family get involved in this case." However, judging from the current evidence, there must be a DPRK-China force behind this matter, has the gentleman thought about how to deal with it? ”

"It's just some villains who hide in the dark and only use intrigues, I still have big things to do, so let's make them proud for a few days." Zhang Juzheng said disapprerovitically. He has this strength and confidence, and he doesn't take anyone who does it in the shadows in his eyes, because he is the first assistant of the dynasty and the first person in the world, Zhang Taiyue.

In just three days, when the people in the court were still making all kinds of speculations about the sudden Huguang incident, the above suddenly made a decision with a quick knife to cut through the mess, and sent Lang Jiang Daoxing, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and Wang Kuiqi, the secretary of the Jinyi Guard, to Wuchang to investigate the case in detail. No matter who is involved in this case, it will not be tolerated.

This time, for the sake of his political ideals, Zhang Juzheng planned to abandon his pawn to protect the car, and abandoned Hu Lin and other Huguang officials and his base in Huguang's hometown, but to protect his family and the smooth implementation of the upcoming examination law.
