Chapter 871: Secret Fight (I)
In fact, that Hu Divine Doctor was the bureau arranged by Feng Bao. Although Meng He has no roots and no foundation in the palace, he is the master of the ceremony after all, and in order to tie up with the emperor, he is willing to do anything, so he is deeply favored by Longqing. In addition, the outer court also has the support of Gao Gong, so the general small mistakes and small sins can't move him.
However, this is not difficult for Feng Bao, as the governor of Dongchang, framing is a compulsory course. He grabbed the queen and the concubine to worship the Buddha, and must have been extremely disgusted by the loss of conscience, so he found a doctor for Meng He and abducted him to the evil road...... Of course, Meng He also died by himself, no one forced him, and he was not worthy of pity.
"Godfather, Meng and the gang in the outer house are already in the hands of the children, and they can do it at any time." Xu Jue Mu lΓΉ fierce light road.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute...... Feng Bao shook his head and said with a cold face: "It's not time yet, if Meng He's stupid thing is finished, who will do what needs to be done for me?" β
Hearing this, Rao knew that there was no one around, Xu Jue still trembled, and didn't dare to say a word more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No one could be quiet this night, and when Feng Bao was busy visiting the chessboard alley and the shamao alley, Gao Ge Lao's mansion also ushered in an uninvited guest, Lu Guanglu Daxia.
After listening to Gao Fu's report, Gao Gong was a little surprised. He had seen this Lu Guang, although the other party was Xu Jie's doorman, but Gao Gong had a good impression of him, because the other party was the kind of 'chivalrous person' that Yan Zhao Nan'er admired very much...... He asked people to investigate, this Lu Guang, when he was young, he had killed people because of his friend's revenge, and after being rescued by his friend, he changed his mind and changed his face, although he was unable to participate in the field for life because he had broken the law, but he was still determined to study hard, and finally became a famous scholar in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
This person's father was a Qing guest under Xu Jie's door, and later Xu Jie's family was destroyed by Cai Guoxi's whole family, and even the house was burned, and he fled overnight, and when there was nowhere to go, it was he who took the former Shoufu home to live in which everyone avoided. This allowed Xu Jie not to repeat Yan Song's tragedy.
In order to help Xu Jie's escape from this catastrophe, Lu Guang brought Xu Jie's letter into Beijing, and he first went to Zhang Juzheng's mansion to ask him for help, who knew that this matter was soon known by Gao Gong, and questioned Zhang Juzheng with this. Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng dealt with it calmly, saying that people wanted to find out that I would help meet you, although Gao Gong had an opinion on Zhang Juzheng, but the other party's words were spoken, and he also knew that he agreed to meet.
Lu Guang was able to pay homage to Gao Gong, and that day he fell to the ground in the high arch mansion and cried bitterly, extremely sad, just like Shen Baoxu crying in the Qin court, and the Gao Gong lady in the inner house cried so much that she softened her heart and shed tears with her. Gao Gong was moved by his loyalty, and more importantly, Lord Shoufu also felt the pressure of public opinion, so he voted for Cai Guoxi's plan to punish the three sons of the Xu family to approve 'too heavy' and ask him to change the verdict. He also wrote letters to Guoxi himself and Su Song in succession, expressing the hope that for the sake of Xu Jie's senior and auxiliary ministers, he would try his best to be lenient in judging the case, so as to preserve his dignity and prevent him from suffering humiliation and hardship when he was dying. He personally sent three letters to Xu Jie, stating that he had no intention of retaliating, and informed the magistrate that the original proposed heavy sentence had been rejected, and asked Xu Jie to be relieved.
It is said that after reading Gao Gong's reply, Cai Guoxi suddenly changed and shouted: "Gao Gong betrayed me!" made me complain in vain, but he himself came to be a good person! "But in any case, Gao Gong has clearly put Xu Jie's horse, I don't know why this Lu Daxia is here?
Although full of suspicion, Gao Gong still met with Lu Guang.
After seeing Lord Shoufu, Lu Guang first apologized and said that there were many people during the day, and he was afraid of causing trouble to Lord Shoufu, so he would come at night.
Gao Gong waved his hand and said, "Come in the daytime, you won't see me." "I must admit that Lu Guang is dignified, upright, and very good at observing words and observations, talking about people when he sees people, and talking about ghosts when he sees ghosts, so that people can't help but get close. Otherwise, Shousuke-sama would not have seen him again.
After a few words of greeting, Gao Gong asked him what he meant. Lu Guang said that he first came to thank him on behalf of Xu Ge, and thanked Lord Shoufu for his help.
Gao Gong's old face was slightly red and said: "This matter, the people below have really done too much, the old man is in Beijing, it is difficult to know for a while, if you didn't come to me to cry, maybe I am still in the dark by now." Feeling that he was getting darker and darker, Gao Gong hurriedly coughed and said, "Listening to your tone, it seems that there is something else?" β
"The latter thing is that the villain is arrogant." Lu Guangdao: "Originally, the villain was going to leave Beijing, but I heard that because of me, Yuan Weng misunderstood Zhang Gelao, and as a result, Zhang Gelao couldn't sleep well, and wanted to apologize to you in person, but he couldn't pull his face." If I want to say, 'You have to tie the bell to the bell', that would be too much for me. But the two of them are the heads of the country, and the Ming Dynasty is on your shoulders, so I can't do it, and I have to give it a try to help the two of you eliminate misunderstandings. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and said, "So the villain found him and asked him to write a letter and dare to send it to you." β
Gao Gong looked at Lu Guang and was reluctant to accept the letter, because he felt that Lu Guang was not qualified to do anything at all.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Lu Guang knelt in front of him and held up the letter. The two sides held each other for a while, and finally Gao Gong's heart softened, took it and tore open the seal, took out the letter paper and unfolded it, and sure enough, it was Zhang Juzheng's handwriting...... In fact, he was also curious about what Zhang Taiyue could give to him
In the letter, he first praised Gao Gong, saying that Shoufu was highly respected and attracted the attention of the world, and he could not look at it, let alone dare to think about it. The Ming Dynasty is also inseparable from the unity of the ministers, he sincerely asked Gao Gong to resolve the misunderstanding between each other, work together to assist the emperor, and said that in the future, only his horse will be the first to look forward, and will not make his own opinions...... The words in the letter are humble, and the words are full of respect for Gao Gong, and at the same time imply that Zhang Juzheng has no intention of being the head and assistant of Gao Gong. Zhang Juzheng also explained to Gao Gong that he didn't mean to go against him, it was all a misunderstanding. When Liu Fenyong and Cao Dayu were impeached, they didn't know, so they didn't stop it in time to make a fuss, and they were really sorry for Gao Gong and asked him to forgive his sins.
Zhang Juzheng also mentioned in the letter: "In a few days, you will be 60 years old." Only those who can shoulder the responsibility of governing the world will receive a long life from God. He also praised Gao Gong and said that his merits could be compared to Yi Yin and Zhou Gong, and these words made Gao Gong very comfortable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After reading Zhang Juzheng's letter, Gao Gong's mood was much better, as if he had been constipated for many days and was happy for a while. But it was impossible for people to say what he believed, so he said to Lu Guang: "Zhang Taiyue said in his letter that Cao Dayu's impeachment of me is in his own hands, but Cao has already admitted to me in person, saying that he was instructed by others. β
"It's true that he was instructed by someone, but it's not Zhang Taiyue." Lu Guang was obviously prepared and said: "Taiyue told me that Cao Dayu is from Zhao Zhenji's township, and he heard that Zhenji did it...... But there is no evidence for this and cannot be included in the letter. After a pause, he said: "He also said that Zhao Zhenji took advantage of his lectures to spread rumors about the north and the south, and said bad things about you everywhere, and many young people who didn't know the truth were deceived and became his thugs." Now there are indeed people in Beijing who impeach you, and if there are people in Nanjing who impeach you, it will be undoubtedly he who instigated you. β
"Zhao Zhenji?!" When Gao Gong heard this name, he immediately remembered the old rival who never died, so he sighed and said to Lu Guang: "The old man has always been sincere to Taiyue, and he is not expected to be so negative, it turns out that Zhao Zhenji is making trouble inside." β
"The misunderstanding has finally been resolved," Lu Guang said with great joy: "It is really a blessing for the country." β
Gao Gong's hostility towards Zhang Juzheng was originally based on Han Ji's reasoning, and now Zhang Juzheng has raised the suspect Zhao Zhenji, and he said a lot more than Han Ji. At this time, Gao Gong couldn't be sure if this matter was Zhang Juzheng's mastermind, not to mention, even if it was to paralyze Zhang Juzheng, he wouldn't say that he didn't believe it.
Picking up the teacup and blowing away the heat, Gao Gong's mood gradually calmed down, he raised his head and said to Lu Guang: "The matter has passed, and I will not pursue it anymore." You go back and tell Zhang Taiyue, if the old man hadn't stopped it in time, I don't know how many people would have impeached him! So don't worry about what will happen to the old man, and it is the right thing to do for the public. β
Lü Guang was very good at observing words and observing sè, and when he saw that the fire was coming, he said to Gao Gong that Zhang Juzheng would definitely remember his great kindness, and his words were full of words, and Zhang Juzheng knew that someone was preparing to impeach him, and expressed great worries.
Of course, Gao Gong was the instigator of this matter, but he still defended Lu Guang and said: "Ming people don't do dark things, and the old man won't make trouble behind his back!" β
Through this contact, Lu Guang had already cleared Gao Gong's psychology, so he changed his words and said with a sincere face: "That must be the trouble of the officials, and now that the Holy Body is healing, it will make people uneasy if it makes trouble again, and it will also affect the emperor's recuperation." β
This sentence hit the key point of Gao Gong, because the emperor is the pillar of his power, and once something happens to Longqing, it will be difficult to guarantee his power, which is what he is most afraid of. So Gao Gong asked Lu Guang to tell Zhang Juzheng, saying that at this time, everyone must take into account the overall situation and assist the emperor, saying that he would come forward to stop the officials from dredging up the clouds.
Sent Lu Guang away, Gao Gong returned to the study and fell into deep thought, although he said that he had let Zhang Juzheng go, but this kind of promise could not be made at all. If he feels that it is necessary, he can cut Zhang Juzheng off the horse at any time.
The real reason is that now that the emperor has recovered, the biggest crisis has been lifted, and Zhang Juzheng is no longer the one who directly threatens him...... Between the two, there is now a Shen Jiangnan who is younger than Zhang Juzheng and more powerful than him, and the rational choice seems to be to unite with Zhang Juzheng to form a suppression of Shen Mo.
Of course, the premise is that Zhang Ju is sincerely attached...... And this treatment of the silence who had just formed an alliance was really normal for a politician, but Gao Gong still felt ashamed and undecided.
Tonight is destined to be sleepless.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's not just the high arch that is sleepless.
The chessboard alley is already late at night. Shen Mo stayed in Rou Niang's room tonight, but until the middle of the night, he still tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep, so he had to get up quietly, but he still alarmed Rou Niang, opened his eyes and asked him what he was doing.
Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, motioning for her to continue sleeping, Rou Niang saw that he had something on his mind, so she didn't say more, just got up and put on a robe for him, and said softly: "Deeper, it's better to go back early." β
Shen Mo's heart warmed, and he pulled his forehead hair for her, and turned to go out.
It was late at night, only the insects in the courtyard were chirping, the moon was like a hook, sprinkled with silver frost on the ground, silently behind his back, strolling on the cross road under the trees among the flowers, a face full of contemplation.
The reason why he is like this is not just because of Feng Bao's visit, because he believes in Shen Mingchen's ability, as long as this old man wants to get through the relationship, there is no record of missing it so far. But he is not as optimistic about this matter as Wang Yin...... After Feng Bao left, Wang Yin congratulated him with a smile: "Since then, I have been invincible!" β
Shen Mo naturally knew what the meaning of Feng Bao was in the inner knot, but he didn't feel the slightest excitement, but his heart seemed to be filled with firewood and grass, and it was too much to block...... It's going backwards! It has been difficult for him to break off his relationship with the eunuchs in the palace over the years, but now he has to take the eunuch route again, so that even if he wins in the future, it will be just an old-fashioned victory. And as long as it is an old-style victory, it will not escape the tragic fate of 'the king will rise and die'.
Because the power of the eunuchs is actually a mutation and branch of the imperial power, if you want to conspire with them, you must boost their arrogance, which is the opposite of your own direction.
Of course, he would not complain about Wang Yin and Shen Mingchen's self-assertion, after all, from the eyes of the two of them, this was the best choice for himself.
But is it really the best? Shen Mo knew that their views were all based on the deep-rooted concept of 'the invincibility of imperial power'...... Although Wang Yin passed through heaven and earth, and Shen Mingchen was bold, the two were traditional literati who grew up in the 200-year-old Zhu Ming Dynasty. Although they understand that their pursuit is to limit the imperial power and solve the dead knot of the death of the people, they regard this goal more as an ideal on the clouds, and there are no taboos when they talk about it, but when they really want to do it in a down-to-earth manner, they unconsciously avoid the challenge to the imperial power and find a compromise solution.
They are not to blame for their silence, because after living in this era for more than 20 years, although their strength is getting stronger and stronger, their confidence in challenging the imperial power is getting smaller and smaller...... From the original 'newborn calves are not afraid of tigers', to the current helplessness of being afraid of wolves and tigers, what is reflected is not a person's cowardice, but the invincibility of the imperial power in this era.
The ignorant are fearless, and the more you understand, the more you can appreciate its horror......
But do you really want to bury your ideals and be a powerful minister who is no different from Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng? Shen Mo looked up at the starry sky and remembered Kant's words.
