With Zhang Juzheng's strength, he is only the fifth-ranked elder, even if he kills Tang Yi, he will not be able to get him to the top position, not to mention that Tang Yi is so easy to deal with?

Even if Zhang Juzheng makes some moves, it will not make such a big wave.

Obviously, someone wants to use the matter of King Liao and his own hands to eradicate Zhang Juzheng, is Taiyue so hateful? Not to mention, the acres of land he promoted, and the officials and gentry who came immediately after the integration of grain, have shaken the foundation of most of the gentry bureaucrats and families. Fortunately, behind Zhang Juzheng, there is still Tang Yi, standing the huge Tang Party, it is Tang Yi who escorts him behind him, and Zhang Juzheng can charge forward in front and look at him.

If two people work together, they will benefit both, and if they fight, they will lose both.

Tang Yi quickly figured out the key to it, and the whole situation was clear.

The gentry of the family were unable to confront the national policy of the imperial court head-on, so they could only use the affairs of the clan to stir up a pool of troubled waters, lure the cabinet into chaos, and lure the conflict between the clan and the cabinet to alleviate their situation.

Previously, so many children of the clan came to the capital to make trouble, and they also smashed the Ministry of Rites and beat the elders. Tang Yi initially thought that it was the madness of the clan and he didn't measure himself.

But at this time, it seems that someone may be instigating it behind the scenes.

It is said that they are emperors and nobles, and they are the sons and daughters of the sect, but in fact, they are not chess players at all, and they have been used by all parties from beginning to end, which is really pitiful.

Tang Yi was very angry, he had always regarded himself as the biggest boss, but he didn't expect that this time someone was hiding behind him and calculated him, which was unbearable!

Not many things are coincidental, and during this time, they have been interlocking and calculating deeply. There are not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who can have such skills.

The first thing that made Tang Yi suspicious was Xu Jie, although the old guy was defeated by the Nine Successes, but after all, he was the leader of the Xu Party, and among the gentry in the southeast, he had a very strong appeal, and he was dying and counterattacking, and it was indeed possible to do this.

It's just that Tang Yi thought of the acting king of Shanxi again, he rebelled with the king of Liao, and the strength of Xu Jie, even if it was in its heyday, it could not reach the nine sides, and the acting king rebelled, was it a coincidence, or was there someone else?

Those who can toss things on the nine sides, in addition to themselves, are the Jin Party!

Do you want to say that the Jin Party did it?

But why did they encourage the king to rebel? It's their lair, and if something happens, the fire might burn on them.

What's more, I went to Yang Bo before, and the two sides have reached an agreement, but I threw such a big piece of fat!

The old guys are not satisfied, do they want to eat more, or are they ready to turn themselves upside down, they want to take control of the cabinet?

Tang Yi thought about it and didn't have a clue.

In addition to Xu Jie and Yang Bo, the salt merchants of Lianghuai who can also stir up the wind and the rain are also the salt merchants of Lianghuai, the Zhang family is involved in salt, and it is also possible for the salt merchants to calculate Zhang Juzheng out of resentment-wait, there is also a possibility, that is, within the Tang Party!

is the so-called black under the lamp, I have worked hard for many years, and my strength is unfathomable, but the Tang Party is ironclad?

Obviously, he can't do it, especially since he became the first assistant, he has made extensive use of talents from all walks of life, although he has given the Tang Party a lot of sweetness, but some people can't guarantee that they won't want to get more.

Zhang Juzheng is in charge of financial power, what a big piece of fat is that, who can't swallow it? Will someone carry their backs and do it in the dark......

said that it was two hours, and when Tang Yi reappeared in the conference room, it was already time to hold the lamp, and the three pavilion elders were still sitting upright, and none of them moved.

Tang Yi hurriedly clenched his fists, "It's rude, please forgive me." ”

Zhao Zhenji said with a dark face: "Yuanfu is cautious, it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer, but now Huguang is already in chaos, the governor is imprisoned, according to the inspection envoy, the political envoy to senate, the study, the patrol, and Zhang Juzheng are not the same tone, if you don't send someone over immediately, I'm afraid that Huguang will be in chaos!" ”

Gao Gong's face was very dark, all the signs were unfavorable to Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Gong couldn't protect him, Zhao Zhenji put on a posture that refused to give up, and really let the old master go south, but he was afraid that the situation created by Zhang Juzheng would fall apart in an instant.

"Yuanfu, let's do it, let the old man go south, and I'll go to investigate the matter of Huguang."

"Not necessarily!" Tang Yi waved his hand to block.

Gao Gong's heart trembled, and he asked in surprise, "Yuanfu, who are you going to send?" ”

"No one will send it, I'll go there myself!"

"What!"

Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji both stood up, "Yuanfu, at this time, the internal and external difficulties are difficult, and the capital is inseparable from you!" ”

"Hahaha!" Tang Yi smiled confidently, "Gao Ge Lao, Zhao Ge Lao, you are too worried, the acting king has raised a lot of dead soldiers, many of whom are Mongols, and it is indeed a little difficult to deal with him, but Tan Lun is ready, Ma Fang is a famous general who has been a great enemy for a long time, and the destruction is just around the corner, and the rest of the King Yi and the King of Liao have been pacified." These three vassal kings will be defeated when they rebel, and no one will follow up, as for the "Statute of the Clan", the implementation can be suspended, in addition, other affairs, the three of you discuss and solve them together, if they can't be solved, they will be temporarily pressed down, waiting for me to come back, this time to Huguang, at most a month or two, will not delay too much time. ”

When it comes to this, neither Zhao Zhenji nor Gao Gong is against it.

Tang Yi invited Gao Beard to his duty room again, and chatted for more than half an hour, after Tang Yi left, Gao Gong temporarily took charge of the cabinet, and the top priority was to unite the courtiers, not to cause civil strife, and then pay attention to Longqing's attitude, and never let the villain have a chance.

"Zhong Xuangong, the little brother dares to suggest, you must restrain your temperament, forbear each other for the country, this hurdle, we want to go over together!"

Gao Gong grabbed his beard and said with a smile: "Okay, my brother is not a three-year-old child, don't worry, even if Zhao Dazhou makes trouble, I won't pay attention to him." ”

"It's not just Zhao Ge Lao, but also be careful-Yang Bo!"

Tang Yi's voice was very low, and in Gao Gong's ears, it was no less than a thunderbolt.

"Why, they're getting involved?" Gao Gong asked.

"I don't have any evidence in my hand, but don't forget, Zhongxuangong, I took Zhang Taiyue, the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu in the southeast, I'm afraid it won't be implemented!"

The drum does not need a heavy hammer, and under the high-arched and rugged appearance, there is a delicate heart.

He instantly understood, sure enough, Huguang's affairs were not so simple, no wonder Tang Yi wanted to run in person!

The tall beard finally put away his plans and bowed deeply.

"Don't worry, Yuanfu, I will be the first to be stable in everything and never cause more trouble."

After the explanation, the day turned around, Tang Yi only took twenty guards, left the capital early in the morning, and went straight to Huguang.

……

The prison of Jingzhou Mansion is dark and damp, it has not seen the light of day for decades, the smell is pungent, and when you take a breath, it makes people dizzy and dizzy, and the world is spinning.

Zhang Juzheng resisted the urge to pass out and walked to the front of a cell. Looking up, it was the Liao King Zhu Xianxiao (the words can't be displayed, temporary), and it was less than half a month after he was locked in, and His Royal Highness the King of Liao's huge body shrunk a circle, and the flesh on his face drooped down, like a Shar Pei dog.

His hair was unkempt, his beard was long, and there were patches of bloody scabs on his neck and chest, which were the result of not taking a bath for a long time, itching on his body, and scratching hard.

When the blood comes out, it attracts flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches and mice, crawls on the body and bites, the wound gets bigger and bigger, it flows with pus, and it smells foul.

The King of Liao was about to go crazy when he saw someone coming.

He suddenly pounced, clasped the wooden fence with both hands, and shouted, "Kill me, kill me, give me a good time, I don't want to live anymore!" ”

Zhang Juzheng watched silently, more than 30 years ago, his beloved grandfather died in the hands of the King of Liao, so many years have passed, and the King of Liao has become his own prisoner.

I really want to give an order, cut off his head, destroy the Liao King's lineage, and avenge my grandfather!

Zhang Juzheng has had this idea more than once.

The King of Liao rebelled, the evidence is conclusive, there is no excuse, what else is there to hesitate, have you forgotten the blood feud?

No, I didn't forget!

Zhang Juzheng clenched his fists hard, he knew in his heart that he had already captured a king of Yi, plus a king of Liao, and the cabinet could bear two, uh no, is it the consequence of the three vassal kings being destroyed together?

Entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister is to realize the ideal in his chest, to govern the country and the world, and finally have the best opportunity, but because of his own selfishness, will he be ruined in a flash? No, grandpa, don't blame your grandson for being in the spirit of the sky, I am a university scholar, one of the prime ministers of the Ming Dynasty, I want to have the overall situation in mind, didn't you teach your grandson to take the world as your own responsibility?

Zhang Juzheng let tears flow from the corners of his eyes, and his clenched fist slowly loosened.

"His Royal Highness the King of Liao, what's it like to die, it's better to live, you don't want to see your dozens of wives and concubines again, and more than a dozen children?"

King Liao was stunned for a moment, he stared at Zhang Ju for a while, and suddenly laughed wildly.

"You don't need to be rhetorical, I know, you are Zhang Cheng's grandson, he died in our Liao Palace, and now you are in the cabinet to avenge your grandfather. This king can't fight you, there is only a dead end, you don't have to deceive me anymore. ”

"Hahaha, Your Highness is right, we are indeed enemies who do not share the sky, but there are so many enemies of my Zhang, what are you King Liao?"

"You?" Zhu Xian was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and his eyes erupted with fire, but Zhang Juzheng was so calm, indeed, since Tang Yi took power, the status of the cabinet has been improving day by day, even if he is the last cabinet elder, he also overpowers Jiuqing, not to mention the foreign vassal who is respected but has no power, and is noble and powerless.

"Let's make it clear, I really want to dispose of you, but I don't want to be a tool in the hands of others, I think His Royal Highness the King of Liao, I am afraid and I don't want to be someone else's pawn, right?"

Zhu Xianxiao had a calm black face and said angrily: "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's very simple, with your ability, you can't gather tens of thousands of rebels, and you can't occupy Jiangling for a month, this pavilion has already checked, half a month before your rebellion, there were two pieces of silver, a total of 350,000 taels, sent to your mansion, as long as you recruit who handed it over to you, I will spare you from death!"

Zhu Xianxiao gritted his teeth, "Really? ”

"Do you still have a choice?" Zhang Juzheng smiled, full of contempt. (To be continued.) )
