July 28, day in. Zhang Juzheng's housekeeper travels to Qifushang.

Zhang Ge Lao regarded this place as his former command post. Since his leave, he came here in You Qi's sedan chair, and he has never taken a step, and all external contacts have been transferred here. Therefore, his university office was particularly deserted, so as to prove afterwards that he was recuperating and did not intervene in the coup d'état.

In order to avoid suspicion, only a few people know where he is, and these people will not swagger to find him, so You Qifu is the same. So much so that when later generations inspected his activities during this period, they only saw a blank space, as if he had not moved at all.

But in fact, Feng Bao had already given Zhang Juzheng the highest authority, he could receive the information of the East Factory as soon as possible, and he could also dispatch the spies of the East Factory at will. This allows him to know everything he needs without leaving his home, and he can do everything he wants to do with just one order.

However, when they saw him at his house without knowing it, his family could only close the door on the grounds that they were sick and could not see people. This style is naturally not a problem for ordinary people, but it will inevitably be embarrassing when encountering visitors who are generous enough and extremely stubborn......

At dusk that day, he was wearing a dark gray cocoon silk scarf robe, sitting in the study room to read information frequently, and thinking hard about how to break the situation. Hearing a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help frowning, when he thought about things, the first thing was to be absolutely quiet, I don't know who was so unruly.

"Master, there is a group of guests at home...... it turned out to be You Qi, and I saw him gasping and saying, "I have to see you." "Didn't you say you wouldn't see any guests?" Zhang Ju's face was cold and hard, but he was in the way of You Qi's house, and he didn't reprimand the master well, so he held back his anger and said: "Let him leave his name and come back another day!" ”

"But the leader is Wei Xuezeng, the secretary of the Criminal Department." You Qi said with a bitter face: "There are more than a dozen Qingliu ministers, and those people are menacing, and they are not something that villains can dismiss." ”

"Wei cannons are all out of the horse......" Hearing this name, Zhang Juzheng's heart sank, and a pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed into a line. As the saying goes, those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. Wei Xuezeng knew that he was sick, and he insisted on visiting, obviously sealing Gao Gong's order and coming to bring a message to himself.

Seeing that he was silent, You Qi wiped his sweat while waiting for him to speak, who knew that after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the master speak, so he had to bite the bullet and whispered: "How should the master reply to them?" ”

"Go tell him" Zhang Juzheng sighed, pinched his eyebrows and said: "Say that I'm really sick, my appearance is unsightly, and I can't help but see guests, so write a post if there is anything." ”

Seven hurried departures. The main entrance of his house and Zhang Juzheng's bachelor's mansion are back to back, the gate is separated by several alleys, but the back door is next to each other. So I came out of the house, walked a few steps in the corridor and entered the back door of the university scholar's house, and then went straight to the front yard.

In the living room of the front yard, Wei Xuezeng and a few people were already waiting impatiently, it was almost dark, neither let each other meet, nor say anything about taking care of the meal, just let us wait for what kind of hospitality? So listening to You Qi, Zhang Juzheng still didn't see them, and he just wrote a note and handed it in if he had something. Immediately, the nose is not a nose, the face is not a face, and there are people who have already held back the fire in their stomachs and did not guard the door, so they said coldly: "What a great official, before he became the first assistant, he first regarded himself as the emperor." ”

"I've been taught, it turns out that Lord Shoufu regards himself as an emperor." You Qi was also full of evil fire, and when he caught the opportunity, he immediately went back: "My master is lying half-dead in the back now, but some people have to force him to see him, which is like a subordinate meeting a superior, I think it looks like an official to arrest a lawbreaker!" ”

In this way, the politeness on the profile of both sides does not exist, and Wei Xuezeng has no face to stay any longer, he snorted coldly: "People say that the seven-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I think the majesty of your housekeeper must be at least the fourth grade." ”

No matter how fat your guts are, you don't dare to talk to the head of the judiciary of a country, and the second-grade criminal department is still guilty, so you can only bow your head and say: "It's the villain who is abrupt." ”

"It's good to know." Wei Xuezeng didn't even look at him and said, "Since Zhang Ge has a life, then we have to do what we do." Prepare pen and paper! "Hanmo, paper, and inkstones are all ready-made, and they will be served in front of Wei Butang in a moment. Wei Xuezeng brushed down a few words, put the pen aside, and said coldly: "It's a pity that I didn't see Zhang Ge Lao today, I really regret it, I want to say hello for me, I hope he must pay attention to his body, he must cherish it!" After saying that, he said to the people: "1 Let's go!" ”

In the back house of Youfu, since he knew about Wei Xuezeng's arrival, Zhang Juzheng was anxious and could no longer look at those redundant information. He felt depressed, so he walked to the yard to breathe, only to find that at some point, the west wind had risen, the weather had turned cold, and on this early autumn evening, the summer clothes on his body were quite unbearable.

Tightening his clothes, Zhang Juzheng sighed secretly, since this summer, although he has been careful not to be careful, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world? The relationship between the two is almost known to the officials in the capital, but there is no evidence, and everyone may not dare to believe it, and they will all be suspicious and want to talk about it...... The reality of the investigation of the East Factory, this topic has become a topic of conversation after dinner.

But this kind of thing is just as simple as talking about it, and the ancestral law has a clear text, which absolutely prohibits foreign ministers from making friends with internal servants! The collusion between a dignified scholar and a lieutenant official is not a violation of the law of the country, but will also be regarded by the scholars as a common man, and become a typical example of betraying conscience and personality in everyone's mind. This is how people at that time saw it, and so did people in later generations.

However, if you want to play according to the card theory, then he will never win! The current situation is like the Three Kingdoms, Sun and Liu can join forces to resist Cao, if there is no Feng Bao, he is alone, and he can only roll up the way home. What's more, there is also Mu Young's round of silence in front, and he can't survive his qualifications normally.

Of course, you can choose to protect yourself, but if you don't serve as the first assistant, you won't be able to take revenge for life.

The husband walks in the world, if he is not comfortable and ends up depressed, it is better to be ruined and ruined! So he can only find another way, take a risk, and make a big bet on his life and political future!

He chose to form an alliance with a eunuch who everyone hated, and he did not regret it at all. But in the face of his own no need to lie, the reason why he said that he was sick and hid in the housekeeper's house and did not see the guests was to avoid suspicion, in fact, he was also a little afraid of his colleagues, not only the tall beard, but also anyone he was usually familiar with. The occasional disdainful glances from his subordinates and colleagues stung him deeply in the city. Recently, he has often thought that if he was himself twenty years ago, Uncle Zhang, who was upright and couldn't rub sand in his eyes, would see his current self, and he would probably take a sip of it......

Returning to the study, holding on to the armrests, and slowly sitting down on the chair, Zhang Juzheng felt deeply tired and tired, he realized that it was no longer possible to drag it out, and he must fight quickly, otherwise it will be a war without a winner......

was looking out the window at the Hua tree, and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded again. Without looking at it, you knew that You Qi was back: "What do you say?" Zhang Juzheng's voice was full of exhaustion.

"Master, Wei Xuezeng was very unhappy, and after placing a cannon indiscriminately, he left this note and left. You Qi's voice was extremely quiet.

Juzheng didn't open his eyes.

"This, 1 Bu people are difficult to say, or you can see for yourself." You Qi said, trembling and handed over the piece of paper in his hand.

"............" Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time before reaching out to take it. Slowly opened his eyes, only to see the silver hook and iron on the ground written: 1 Outsiders are all talking about the conspiration of the public and the eunuch, and everything is the same. Today's events should be guarded against by the public, and it is not appropriate to protect this eunuch. I am afraid that it will become a big thing, and I will be angry with the public" means, I heard rumors that you and Feng Bao colluded" The so-called edict was also written by you, which is not right and not good! I hope you pay attention. Now everyone is demanding that Feng Bao be punished, and I hope you don't protect Feng, a eunuch. Otherwise, if something big happens, you won't be able to escape the blame! ”

This is completely torn face, and Zhang Juzheng is not even left with a little face. Who can be willing to suffer such insults?

"Bastard!" Zhang Juzheng's seven tricks of smoke "tore the paper into destruction, one stood up and jumped up, viciously throwing out a series of Jingzhou township scolding" A handsome face that has always paid attention to the collapse of Mount Tai in front and does not change color, made purple-red" The hideous face is something You Qi has never seen. Frightened, he quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

In fact, Wei Xuezeng messed things up, and Gao Gong asked him to come here, not to stimulate Zhang Juzheng. In other words, it is necessary to fight for it on the one hand and warn him on the other, the purpose is to prevent him from continuing to give advice to Feng Bao, and it can be regarded as remembering the comradeship for many years and giving him a way out.

However, Wei Xuezeng was angry, and the character of the cannon barrel broke out, where do you know what it means to be polite? It's hard to hear! A scholar is also called a decent person, that is, a person who values face more than the sky. Your humiliation is worse for him than for killing his entire family. Zhang Juzheng was furious and had the biggest fire in his life! destroyed all the altars and jars that could be smashed in the book, but he still felt ashamed and indignant, immediately trembled his right hand, and wrote a reply to Wei Xuezeng immediately: 1 The servant also sent someone to visit this matter, and the outside world did not say this. "I have specially sent someone to investigate these rumors, but there is no such statement outside, and now that you have said so, I understand, the rumors are made by you."

Aren't you trying to oust me from power by spreading rumors like this? Okay, I'm going to say retire and obey your orders, okay?!

Still angry, he said to You Qi: "Until now, I have only done it to protect myself, and I have not added the heart of a high prince." It's ridiculous that I'm still stuck with my old friendships, but now you can see that they've completely torn their faces. Once Feng Bao is finished, I will follow it! ”

"That's what the lord said." You Qi hated and said: "Those Qingliu can't wait to rush into the back house and pull you out, which is the attitude towards colleagues, it is clear that we have been sent by Wei Xuezeng as an enemy, it is clearly a war book!" ”

"In that case, let's fight!" There was no trace of weakness on Zhang Ju's front, and he was as hard as a knife and said: "Let's see if you die or I live!" "As long as you win this game, not only can you get rid of the high arch, but you can also form an iron triangle with the queen mother and the eunuch with the friendship of fighting side by side, and you are afraid of silence when the time comes?

"Find Lu Daxia!" He gave the first military order.

It was because Zhang Juzheng had already had a plan to get rid of the high arch, and he didn't come up with it himself, but he felt that this trick was too vicious, so he kept pressing it and didn't let it go. But now I can't care so much, the king is the king and the loser, the victory or defeat is above all else!

After the sky was completely dark, Lu Guang appeared in front of Zhang Juzheng. No one knows how this hero got in, but that's how he presented it.

"Have you finally made up your mind?" Lu Guang looked at Zhang Juzheng, who was as cold as iron.

"Gao Gong deceived me too much! How can I lead the neck and kill me! Zhang Juzheng's voice was also extremely tough: "1 Since his heart to kill me is not dead, then he can't blame me for unscrupulous means!" ”

"It's long overdue!" Lu Guang was overjoyed and said: "I have been in the capital for so long, just for today. ”

"It's just that it doesn't matter if it's success or failure" Zhang Juzheng looked at Lu Guang's arrogant face, and sighed softly: "From now on, you will die in the world." ”

"This Taiyue brother doesn't need to worry, before I entered Beijing, everything was already placed!" Lu Guanghun said indifferently: "I often read historical records, and I can't help but be born in a world of age, and when I see Jing Kegao, I gradually leave." The master treats my whole family like a mountain, and now is the time to repay it! ”

"Hey, every time you slaughter dogs, most of them are scholars." Zhang Juzheng personally poured a glass of wine, presented it to Lu Guang and said: "I am not the prince Dan, and I don't say those words that are bleak and easy to be cold, because I don't want you to die, as long as you do things well, and then change your name, the world is so big, you can come and go." ”

"Thank you!" Lu Guang nodded, took it and drank it all, threw the cup on the ground, and disappeared into the night.

After sending Lu Guang away, Zhang Juzheng returned to the book, opened the detective book of Dongchang, and his eyes fell on a passage that he had scratched with his fingernails: 1 On the 25th, after the ascension ceremony, Gao Gong was in the first auxiliary value of the room, and said to his protégés Han Ji, Sui Zun, and Song: 1 The emperor is only ten years old, how to dissolve the world, it is not what others say what is ......, @
