When Zhang Juzheng temporarily put down all government affairs and closed his door because of his father's death, when almost everyone in the government and the opposition speculated about it constantly, and people were uneasy, and Tianzi Wanli was in a dilemma because of Zhang Juzheng's worrying actions, and it was difficult to make a decision, but Yang Zhen, the initiator of this matter, seemed very quiet and did not express any opinion on it, and even made Jinyiwei extremely low-key, and did not let anyone participate in this change.

Of course, not speaking or expressing his position does not mean that he has no attitude, when the news came that Zhang Juzheng closed his door and no longer had contact with the outside world, Yang Zhen sneered and commented: "It's just a pretentious gesture, waiting for the emperor to make concessions." ”

"Why do you say that?" Hu Ge, who had brought the news, asked a little strangely.

"This is an obvious matter, let me ask you, if, I make an assumption, if something like this happens to you, you need to go back to your hometown to worry, what will you do?" Yang Zhen looked at the other party and asked.

Hu Ge scratched his chin, and then said: "Naturally, I resigned and then returned to my hometown." ”

"That's it, it's such a simple thing, but he Zhang Juzheng has to make it so complicated, and he still comes to such a trick to close the door, isn't this giving the court a chance to keep him? With this alone, I can conclude that he didn't want to leave, but in fact, if it were me, I am afraid that he would not be willing to leave the capital because of this. can have today's status, even if the Son of Heaven is not as powerful as him, how can he leave because of such a little thing? Yang Zhen's inference is really a bit shocking.

Hu Ge has always admired Yang Zhen, and he has almost no doubts about what he said. But this time, he frowned: "My lord, this matter is not a joke, he Zhang Ge will really do such a deceitful thing?" Isn't he afraid of being blamed by the world? ”

"The one who can do big things cares about what others think of him? Although Zhang Juzheng and I are in the same situation, he is a person who is really capable of doing great things, so in his heart, the praise and disapproval of others are nothing at all. The only thing he had to consider was the attitude of the Son of Heaven and what some of the courtiers thought. And this time, he closed the door to retreat, which was a temptation, not only to test the attitude of the Son of Heaven, but also to test the courtiers. But as things stand, it doesn't seem to be good for him. Yang Zhen's smile was still cold.

After Hu Ge pondered for a while, he couldn't help but say again: "Then do you think Your Majesty will keep him?" ”

"According to common sense, he should be kept, after all, Zhang Juzheng is indispensable to preside over today's major affairs of the court. However, ......" Speaking of this, he seemed a little hesitant again, he was still impressed by the eagerness shown by Wanli in the past, and he was not sure if the emperor would take this opportunity to really kick Zhang Juzheng away.

If this is the case, not only Zhang Juzheng, but also himself will be very disappointed. As for Zhang Juzheng, once he leaves the imperial court, the power he has accumulated over the years, his connections, and everything will disappear, let alone three years, even a year later, it will be difficult for him to come back like today. And he, Yang Zhen, this time the purpose is not to drive Zhang Juzheng out of the imperial court, but to have another trick, once he really leaves like this, then the next attack will not be used.

Hugo is still skeptical of his judgment. For people in this era, it is the duty to be filial to their parents, and it is a major event that cannot be violated, and it is really hard to believe that anyone dares to do such an unfilial thing. Moreover, the Son of Heaven will not be so unkind. But these Hugo couldn't say anything, so he could only mumble in his heart.

If Hu Ge is just a question here, then when Yang Zhen returned home and saw his brother Yang Chen, he was greeted with blame.

"Erlang, what you've done this time is too much!" Yang Chen grimaced his brother with a stiff face, and rarely scolded his brother: "Even if you have a conflict with Elder Zhang Ge, you shouldn't do such a thing." When you asked me about the official Ding Worry, I felt a little uneasy, I didn't expect you to really do such a thing, you ...... How could you be so cold-blooded? Could it be that the people of Jinyiwei really have to be so unscrupulous? ”

Faced with his brother's scolding of his head and face, Yang Zhen looked extremely calm: "Big brother, why have you become so broad-minded?" I'm fighting with Zhang Juzheng, and I'm at a disadvantage in all aspects, so why can't I use some means? Being merciful to the enemy will only add trouble to yourself, and the eldest brother won't be ignorant of this, right? ”

"Even so, you're being cruel. That old father has no grudge against you, but just because his son is your enemy, you have done this to an old man, which is really ......."

"Big brother, it seems that you really don't remember something." Hearing him say this, Yang Zhen's expression suddenly turned cold, stared at his brother's eyes and said, "Have you forgotten how you came to this world?" ”

If outsiders heard what he said, they would definitely feel inexplicable and not know what he was trying to express. But Yang Chen was stunned, and then he remembered some things that he had forgotten long ago - he was not a person from this era, but a time-traveler like Yang Zhen. And the reason why he possessed Yang Chen's body was precisely because the original Yang Chen was killed by the Zhang family, imprisoned, and seriously ill......

Yang Zhen saw that he was obviously stunned, so he continued to say in a cold voice: "On that day, it was because this civilized old thief took a fancy to the ancestral tomb of my Yang family, and my brother refused to give it to their Zhang family, that he was killed in the government prison and became seriously ill. And now, I'm just taking revenge back then, he's an old man who is dying, and it's been earned until this time that he fought for my brother! ”

Speaking of which, Yang Chen naturally had nothing to say. After all, no matter what you say, you are all thanks to Yang Chen's accident, and if you get the identity of the other party, you have the responsibility to avenge the original owner of the body!

Seeing the other party's somewhat helpless and hesitant appearance, Yang Zhen's tone also softened: "Of course, big brother, I didn't mean to blame you for this, you just happened to take this opportunity to be reborn, and my brother didn't die because of you." But for me, the Zhang family is my brother-killing enemy, and they first used three indiscriminate means to harm us, so now when I have the ability to take revenge, they can only suffer by any means, which is called evil retribution! ”

"Okay...... Yang Chen sighed lightly: "Since you have made up your mind, I will no longer persuade you." I only hope that the decision you made is really good for Daming. After serving as an official in the capital for a few years, he has gradually seen a lot of things, and it is clearer - Zhang Juzheng is extremely important to the current Ming Dynasty, without him, this government really does not know what will become of it, and this country is likely to be more unbearable than the Ming Dynasty in the history he is familiar with.

But he may be able to say this kind of thing about the overall situation, but he can't say it to Yang Zhen. The mere fact that he replaced the original Yang Chen made it impossible for him to stand on an equal footing with Yang Zhen in this matter. Moreover, Yang Zhen, as a traveler, has his own value standards, and the weight of the national court is far less important to him than in the hearts of others.

If we know that it is futile to say more, then why should we be unhappy? So after groaning, he could only ask with a wry smile: "Then what are you going to do next, do you really want to take this opportunity to drive Zhang Ge Lao away from the capital?" ”

"I don't have this ability, and I don't think this incident can make him resign from office. All I want is to make him lose his reputation and set up more enemies for him in the court. Of course, it's hard to say all this now, everything depends on what the emperor has planned. "This is called planning in man, and success in heaven.

Yang Chen was silent again, and finally shook his head and said, "I hope Your Majesty can focus on the overall situation, and don't make a decision that will make me Ming continue to have internal strife from now on." ”

Even Yang Zhen himself didn't expect it, just when he felt that he could no longer control the next development of this matter, an opportunity came to him again.

The next day, not long after he went to the Zhenfu Division, someone from the palace came to pass the word, asking him to enter the palace after the early dynasty, saying that the emperor had something important to discuss.

Regarding the emperor's summoning, Yang Zhen naturally didn't dare to be sloppy, and seeing that the time was almost up, he rushed to the palace in full dress.

But this time, he was still late. Because of the absence of Zhang Juzheng, today's early dynasty is very simple, and after only a few symbolic words, it ended hastily. So when Yang Zhen entered the palace, the emperor was already waiting for him in the side hall.

In this regard, Yang Zhen naturally wanted to express his fear. But before he could finish speaking, Wanli had already waved his hand: "That's it, I didn't set a time to call you in, it's not your fault." After a pause, he said in a somewhat embarrassed and hesitant tone: "I called you in today to ask you for some opinions. What do you think about Master Zhang? ”

Yang Zhen was even more happy when he saw that it was really for this, but his face did not show any light, but he just said: "Everything should be judged by Your Majesty." Whether it is to go or stay, I think Zhang Ge Lao will not dare to disobey. ”

"You also think about this matter too simply......" Wanli smiled bitterly, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't use this to prevaricate me, I want to listen to what is in your heart, and you think I should make a choice." Don't be afraid of offending anyone, it's just me and you here, you won't even be able to trust me. ”

"I don't dare." Yang Zhen hurriedly denied it: "But the minister is worried about what he said, Your Majesty, you may not be willing to listen to it." ”

"Whatever you say, I won't blame you." Wanli can only make a guarantee in advance.

"In that case, the minister told the truth. The minister thought that His Majesty should leave Zhang Ge Lao, which was a move that would be of great benefit to the court and His Majesty! Yang Zhen said.
