"My lord, as you expected, it seems that the emperor really wants to use this opportunity to hold the actual power of the military in his own hands...", Gao Shi thought about it at this time, and shuddered, "I didn't expect so many people to be convicted, it's terrible..."

"Alas... How I wish my guess was wrong, but unfortunately I was still wrong...", Peng Yue leaned back in his seat a little dejectedly, "But fortunately, in the end, there are still many people who have not been sentenced to death..."

"Yes, Feng Huan was just demoted to a place, Qian Dehong was dismissed from his post and served as a citizen, but the family property was not touched at all, Sun Huai, Sun Ting and others were only exiled, and finally left a life, the most fortunate thing is that the British Gong Zhang Rong, Hui Anbo Zhang Lan, the commander Qian Jiyuan and others were not punished, and they all returned to their original posts...", Gao Shi remembered very clearly, and said to Peng Yue one by one.

"Repatriated?" , Peng Yue smiled, "What's the use of getting this position again, the power has been hollowed out... It's really like the emperor's style, just like the last time, the same sin, and even Guo Xun's mistakes are even greater, but Wang Tingxiang was dismissed from his post and served as a citizen, but Guo Xun was only reprimanded..."

"Do you mean Qian Junmin, Weng Shouhong and others who have died in the edict prison?" , Gao Shi listened to Peng Yue's words, and seemed to understand something.

"Yes, in the eyes of most people, maybe they are all little people who are not worth mentioning, but after all, they are also a human life, they died really unjustly...", Peng Yue sighed lightly and stopped talking.

"They died... It's really a bit wronged, but this is also a helpless thing in the political struggle, and often these little people will be sacrificed in the end...", in fact, Gao Shi was also very puzzled, Peng Yue's methods in the political struggle were also ruthless, but afterwards he often felt compassionate, "In fact, in this impeachment of Guo Xun, if... If it really angers the Holy Lord because of this, then the lower officials will definitely bear the brunt, and the lower officials understand this verse, so once they suffer, they will not have any complaints..."

"You... Alas... This may be helpless...", Peng Yue also knew that what Gao Shi said was indeed the truth, because Gao Shi could be said to be the vanguard of the impeachment of Guo Xun this time, and his official position was not high, if something happened to his side, Gao Shi would definitely be the first to be blamed, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, let's think about the most important thing, what should Guo Xun do?" Why hasn't he been convicted this time, and looking at this trend, it seems that the emperor doesn't plan to condemn him..."

"yes, that's what I've been worried about. It's really embarrassing that the person who shouldn't be convicted has been punished, but the person who should have been convicted has evaded responsibility...", Gao Shi sighed and shook his head, "This time Lord Xia can be regarded as a mistake, the matter is quite big, but the culprit has not been punished because of this..."

"Lord Xia is not a mistake, after all, this time it can be regarded as hitting the emperor's heart... But...", Peng Yue paused, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But we want to use the emperor to get rid of Guo Xun, and the emperor is also thinking about using us to firmly hold the military power, this time is an opportunity, but in the end, the emperor won." He achieved his goal, but we didn't..."

Gao Shi didn't expect Peng Yue to say such "disrespectful" words, and couldn't help but secretly speak, but if you think about it carefully, maybe this is out of extreme trust in yourself, but Gao Shi didn't dare to accept any "big disrespect" words, just said softly, "My lord, let's hurry up and think of a way, you can't let Guo Xun be like the British princess, right?" ”

"Don't worry, Guo Xun won't be like the British princess, he has committed those crimes much more serious than the British princess, if the emperor doesn't punish him heavily and give an explanation, the hundred officials will not give up..."

"My lord, what we want is Guo Xun to die, not to be simply punished...", Gao Shi didn't expect things to come to this point, Peng Yue could still say the kind of "righteous and awe-inspiring" words just now, "If Guo Xun doesn't die, it can be said that all the previous achievements will be wasted, and we will have a hard time in the future..."

"I know... I won't let Guo Xun get out of prison, and I don't want him to come out of prison...", Peng Yue changed his serious look, "I guess this time the emperor has shown extrajudicial favor to Guo Xun, firstly, because he has already answered the goal, there is no need to kill Xun Qi and fall into the hands of others, and secondly... I'm afraid I still have the gratitude of the big discussion ceremony back then, the emperor is indeed a person who misses the old love..."

"I think it's more than that...", Gao Shi looked at Peng Yue, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "My lord may have underestimated the power of Guo Xun's party, you must know that Guo Xun has a deep foundation for so many years, and how many people are attached to him can be described as his sworn friend." Once Guo Xun falls, it will be equivalent to a catastrophe for them, so they will definitely do their best to protect Guo Xun, this force cannot be ignored..."

"Oh... Yes, I almost forgot this...", Peng Yue nodded, "Although it is said that the tree is falling and scattered, there will always be some monkeys who can't get rid of the tree and can't run, so they can only make a desperate bet, aren't there some officials secretly helping Guo Xun these days?" ”

"Yes, if those low-level officials who have no family background and no foundation want to gain a foothold in the DPRK, it is definitely a shortcut to find a powerful person to shelter them...", Gao Shi had a smile on his face at this time, and he didn't know whether he was glad that he chose the right team or for some other reason, "There are too many things that officialdom can't help themselves, and it's not appropriate to have no one to protect them, but choosing the wrong object is a matter of delaying life..."

Listening to Gao Shi's leisurely narration, Peng Yue felt a little familiar in a trance, as if he had heard it somewhere...

"Why did Yan Shifan become your benefactor?"

"My lord, if we are dusty women, if we want to seek a preservation in this, as soon as we rely on fame, with fame, we will be able to have a wide range of contacts, get acquainted with a high-ranking official and noble, and make friends with them, so that others will not dare to do that thing that forcibly breaks flowers and branches. Second, relying on protection, find a powerful person to be a benefactor, and others naturally dare not covet it..."

"Then why are you... Don't go the first way? ”

"My lord, do you think those dignitaries are so easy to make friends? They are all sanctimonious gentlemen, and they don't know how dirty they are behind their backs. If you don't give them some benefits, they will be willing to protect you with all their hearts? To put it bluntly, it's not as good as the second way! After all... That's just one person..."

"Now that you have arrived at this Lishui Courtyard, what else can you ask for? If you don't find a big tree to climb, don't say it's other guests, you won't even be able to pass the bustard's mother..."

……

"There are too many things in the world that can't help themselves, not to mention this officialdom...", thinking of the past, Peng Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"Uh... Fang Cai I'm too emotional...", Gao Shi didn't know that Peng Yue was thinking about Xue Qi's words just now, so seeing Peng Yue's emotional look, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "My lord, the top priority is to think about how to solve Guo Xun's matter..."

"Oh... Right... Solve Guo Xun...", Peng Yue also came back to his senses a little, "Yes, this is the top priority..."

"My lord, is there anything you can do now?" , Gao Shi asked softly, and he suddenly found that Peng Yue at this time seemed to be a little wrong.

"Uh... Maybe there is... But I don't know if it's going to work...", Peng Yue frowned, "In this matter, I need someone's help..."

"Who?"

"Jin Yiwei commands Lu Bing." , Peng Yue looked at Gao Shi and said softly.

"Lu Bing...", Gao Shi frowned, as if he was thinking about something, "Master Peng, is it possible that you want to use Guo Xun's uncle..."

"Yes, I just want to make a fuss about Guo Xun's uncle Guo Xian...", Peng Yue said with a smile, "Guo Xian has been serving as Jinyi Wei Qianhu all these years, although his official position is not too high, but with Guo Xun's power, he has a lot of work against Lu Bing, so he also has a certain amount of his own power in Jinyiwei..."

"Yes, that's how it should be!" , Gao Shi seemed very excited, "Guo Xian has relied on the power in his hands to create unjust prisons and seek benefits over the years, but because of Guo Xun, this has been hidden." Now it's okay, the new accounts and the old accounts are counted together... I forgot about that last time I played a fold! ”

"Actually, this is all a transaction, this kind of crime, you are not suitable, and I am not suitable, you should let Lu Bing find someone to report secretly in Jinyiwei...", Peng Yue sighed, "Lu Bing is a smart person, the result is not clear, he will not move, but this time I want him to take the lead." Let him make a not-so-cost-effective deal with me, get rid of Guo Xian, and Jinyiwei will be completely his world in the future..."

"It's a good deal for him...", Gao Shi looked at Peng Yue with some puzzlement, "Why does the Lord still say that Lord Lu is unwilling to make this deal?" ”

"Because even if Lu Bing doesn't do anything, if Guo Xun falls, Guo Xian's power will still be cleared, do you think it's cost-effective for him to do this business?" , Peng Yue's tone was also a little helpless, "Lu Bing is a shrewd person, but I still have a favor with him..."

"But... My lord, do you think this alone will do? Gao Shi's tone also looked a little embarrassed, "Last time, Lord Hu had already impeached Guo Xun on this matter, but... It didn't have much effect..."

"This alone will definitely not work...", Peng Yue shook his head, "As I said last time, severe illness still needs strong medicine, and if you want to eliminate Guo Xun's forces, you must also cure from the root..."

"Heal at the root...", Gao Shi rolled his eyes, pondering the deep meaning of Peng Yue's words, "Could it be that adults want to... Eradicate Guo Xun's remnants of the party in the DPRK? ”

"No, no, no... This is called healing from the root...", Peng Yue hurriedly waved his hand, "I have always thought that the emperor's kindness to Guo Xun is because of Guo Xun's merits in the Great Discussion Ceremony, so I have to find a way to destroy Guo Xun's status in the emperor's mind..."

"Oh... So that's the case...", Gao Shi nodded thoughtfully, "Then what are you going to do now?" ”

"This... I thought about it before...", Peng Yue paused, his eyes were also a little hesitant, "But later, considering that the strains are very wide, I didn't mention it again, but now, I have to use this strategy..."

"How many people are implicated?" When Gao Shi saw Peng Yue say this, he also hesitated a little.

"This depends on the emperor's mood, but the key point is Zhang Yanling in prison...", Peng Yue looked at Gao Shi and said word by word.

"Zhang Yanling?" , Gao Shi's eyes widened, "Could it be that Lord Fei wants to accuse Guo Xun of fornicating with Zhang Yanling..."

"Yes, both of them are relatives, they have been very close, and a lot of good deeds should be found during the Zhengde years, although it was Guo Xun who wanted to tie up Zhang Yanling at that time, but now these are no longer important...", Peng Yue squinted his eyes, "Zhang Yanling's forces should have been convicted, so in this way, there should not be too many people involved, just pulling Guo Xun into the water..."

"There is a point that is very suitable for playing...", Gao Shi's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something important, "Before Zhang Yanling was imprisoned, all the stores were transferred to Guo Xun at a low price... Therefore, we can use this to play to the emperor, Guo Xun traffic repeat offender Zhang Yanling, acting as a housekeeper shop, harboring evil intentions..."

"Well, this is very important...", Peng Yue nodded approvingly, and at the same time admired Gao Shi's methods, "The emperor's spearhead was directly pointed at the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the Empress Dowager Zhang is now gone, so the blame will naturally be borne by her younger brother Zhang Yanling, who is still alive." Guo Xun helped the emperor in the big discussion ceremony, but now he has a personal relationship with Zhang Yanling, so the credit for the big discussion ceremony... The emperor shouldn't remember it, right? Haha..."

"And Zhang Yanling was arrested and imprisoned for treason, and he has been imprisoned for so many years, Guo Xun is stained with him, I'm afraid this body can't be washed off...", Gao Shi said with a smile, "Who let him covet Zhang Yanling's store at that time, this time the matter has finally come to an end..."
