The second assistant's duty room was not luxurious, only a small bed of Hu wood, a table of pear wood, a few chairs were placed at random, a small stove was burning, and a copper kettle was placed on it, and white gas came out of the spout. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just looking at the decorations, he is almost a hard-working scholar, in fact, Gao Gong has indeed been like an ascetic over the years, he recognizes Tang Yi's words, we must first correct ourselves and then correct people, especially in charge of the government, the promotion and punishment of hundreds of officials are in one thought, and if you ask others to do it, you must do it first, so that you can speak hard.

Since the southern tour of Longqing, the burden of thousands of catties is pressed on Gao Gong's shoulders, he will not sleep for more than two hours a day, his body is getting thinner and thinner, but Gao Hu does not rub sand in his eyes, even if it is a little mistake, it can't hide his eyes, the hundred officials in Beijing are under the control of Gao Gong, trembling, Linyuan is thin, and he does not dare to slack off.

Gao Gong stuffed his head and drafted more than 20 official documents, thirsty, got up and grabbed the copper kettle, and made himself a cup of tea, not a good tea, it is ordinary flower tea, a silver dollar twenty catties of big road goods, Gao Gong has no heart to taste, can quench his thirst.

was pouring water, and there was a rush of footsteps outside.

"Zhongxuan Gong, the little brother asks to see!"

As soon as the door was pushed, Zhang Juzheng walked in from the outside.

Gao arch's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly returned to his seat with a contemptuous smile.

"Dare to love Zhang Dage is old, it's not easy, it's rare that you still have an old man in your eyes!"

Zhang Juzheng chuckled in his heart, and said with a smile: "Zhongxuangong is joking, you were ordered to stay in the capital, and you are the backbone of the hundred officials, and the younger brother must obey the assignment of Zhongzhong Xuangong in everything." ”

"Not necessarily!" Gao Gong grabbed the teacup, poured a sip, and said sarcastically: "The private meeting is castrated, plotting in the dark room, blocking the palace, and arresting the prime minister......" Gao Gong became more and more angry the more he spoke, and slapped the table fiercely, "You are so majestic, I'm afraid that Lord Yuanfu is not as good as you." It's better for me to give you the chair with a high arch, this Ming Dynasty is all listening to you alone, how about it? ”

The tall beard and beard are all at once, and the voice is like a bell, saying that it is not scary, it is nonsense, and Zhang Juzheng's back is damp. He barely managed to hold his nerve and bowed deeply.

"Zhongxuan Gong, the younger brother came here this time to confess to your old man that something big did happen in the palace." Seeing that Gao Gong still looked disapplieving, Zhang Juzheng took a few steps closer and lowered his voice: "Feng Bao and Li Fang are infighting!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Gong's stiff face finally softened a little.

Gao Gong is the second assistant, for the country for many years, that is also deaf and clear, last night Feng Bao and Concubine Li suddenly launched, took Li Fang down, although in the middle of the night, Gao Gong could not get the news, but someone told him before dawn, and even Gao Gong knew a little earlier than Zhang Juzheng.

But the tall beard didn't move, why?

First of all, Gao Gong thinks that the situation is unclear, the affairs of the inner court, the outer court is not easy to interfere, and then Longqing is not there, as the emperor, at this time, he broke into the inner palace, and there is a taste of relying on the strong and bullying the weak, and he can't explain to Longqing.

Secondly, Gao Gong doesn't care, with the strength of the civil official group now, he is not afraid of what tricks they play, Gao Gong has enough confidence to turn the tide, even if he can't do it, there is Tang Yi in the southeast, fortunately, he will take a good look at the monkey show.

However, to Gao Gong's surprise, Zhang Juzheng actually ran to the palace and discussed for a long time, and the anger in Gao Gongzi's heart sprung up.

In the past, Zhang Juzheng had a lot of dealings with eunuchs, as a slaughterer, he couldn't cherish his feathers, and he cut it with those pickled and filthy eunuchs, and it was inevitable that he would lose his body, and Gao Gong was quite dissatisfied.

"Zhang Taiyue, the rules in the palace are as big as the sky, Li Fang is the palm seal of the master of ceremonies, Feng Bao is just a pen, why did he take Li Fang and commit the following crimes, is such a thing infighting? I think it's a rebellion! Feng Bao must be arrested immediately, tortured and interrogated, and will not be tolerated! ”

Gao Gong said angrily: "Your Majesty's southern tour, the first assistant entrusted, the old man has already made a military order, no matter what, we must maintain the overall situation of the DPRK and China, and we will definitely not allow things that break the rules!" ”

The tall beard really had a torch in his eyes, and he caught the key point at once. Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath, "Zhongxuan Gong, please let Junior Brother Rong report the matter to the elder pavilion." The arrest of Li Fang was not done by Feng Bao alone, and also, there is also Li Guifei! ”

"The old man already knew that without her order, he wouldn't dare to forgive Feng Bao, but if he wanted to use a Concubine Li to scare the old man, it was also wishful thinking, and when His Majesty came back, the first thing the old man wanted to impeach was Concubine Li! Although the seal of the celebrant is a royal slave, he shoulders the responsibility of approving the red and holds the power together with the cabinet, which is related to the safety of the imperial court system. She is a woman, and she is not even a queen, so she dares to dismiss an internal minister at will, who gave her the guts? Do you have to do it in the harem? ”

Zhang Juzheng's heart is dripping blood, Li's family, Li's family, you stupid, how big a basket you stabbed, do you know?

If he was an ordinary person, he had long been frightened by the high arch with his beard, but Zhang Juzheng was not ordinary after all, and he gave gifts again and again.

"Zhongxuan Gong is high, but after all, Li Guifei is the prince's biological mother, it is very important, it doesn't matter if she is moved, His Royal Highness the prince is just ten years old, and he is still in his prime, and everything in the palace is dominated by Li Guifei, as a courtier, His Majesty is not in the capital, we can't act at will."

Gao Gong snorted and didn't speak, if he hadn't been able to hold it, Gao Beard would have led people to surround the palace.

At present, Longqing is not there, although Gao Gong is in power, but he must be more cautious, once he acts casually, he will be said to be plotting to usurp the throne and plot against him.

The tall beard is also bitter and self-aware.

"Elder Zhang Ge, the old man has no way to take Concubine Li, but Your Majesty has it, or in a few days, Your Majesty will return to Beijing, and you will naturally see the difference. How many heads does she Li Guifei have, can she give an account to His Majesty? ”

Zhang Juzheng sighed, "Zhongxuangong, in the opinion of the younger brother, Li Niangniang also has difficulties. ”

"What?" Gao Gong's eyes widened, like an angry bull, "Elder Zhang Ge, you helped Concubine Li to say something, did you have anything to do when you entered the palace?" ”

Zhang Juzheng was so frightened that he immediately stood up, no matter what, he couldn't admit it, he raised his arm high and pointed to the sky, "Gao Ge Lao, this kind of joke can't be made, if the lower official really has an outrageous behavior, the lower official is willing to thunder and split the sky!" ”

Seeing him swearing, he was very sincere, and Gao Gong couldn't help but believe three points.

"Zhang Taiyue, what's going on, you and the old man should make it clear!"

Zhang Juzheng secretly wiped a handful of sweat, sat down again, and said with a bitter face: "Zhongxuangong, it's like this, something big happened in the palace. ”

"What's the big deal?"

"Didn't the Chilagut Ministry present ten beautiful pictures a few years ago? Those exotic women did not abide by the rules of the court, and His Majesty was away from Beijing for a few months, and they couldn't stand the loneliness, and they actually ......"

"How?" The high arch is raised by an octave.

"He actually fornicated with outside the palace, let a man pretend to be a palace maid, defile the court, and insult the holy reputation!"

Gao arched his head flickered, and almost fainted.

He has long been greedy for women in Longqing, he is cold and unjealous, he has a lot of complaints, and he has advised him many times. Longqing was humbly taught every time, but he never corrected it, and made Gao Gong have no temper at all.

"Who is it that let outsiders into the palace? Those ten exotic women have no foundation at all, and without anyone to help, they will definitely not be able to do it! ”

Gao Gong quickly found the loophole in his words, Zhang Juzheng already had a case in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Zhongxuan Gong, this person is Li Fang, the master of ceremonies!" ”

"Him!"

Gao Gong hesitated for a while, then shook his head again and again, "I don't believe it, Li Fang is still clear about being an old man, he is loyal and very measured, how can he come nonsense?" ”

"Gao Ge Lao, the younger brother also sees it this way." Zhang Juzheng sighed and said: "So the younger brother said at the beginning that Feng Bao and Li Fang had an internal conflict, in the opinion of the younger brother, Li Fang may not be so innocent, he has just been transferred from the southeast, and his butt is not stable, so he can only count on the holy family." He helped ten beauties hook up with wild men, and from then on, these ten people could only listen to him, and His Majesty liked these ten people so much, so he would naturally look at Li Fang differently. ”

Gao Gong's face was solemn, he was not a gullible person, his character was good, Li Fang did not look like a bold and reckless person. But then again, within the ninefold, no one is simple.

Without evidence, it is difficult for him to say that Li Fang is innocent.

Gao Gong turned around twice on the ground, and said in a muffled voice: "Elder Zhang Ge, since Li Fang has done something rebellious, why did Li Guifei call you to the palace, why is it not an old man?" ”

Good guy, Gao Gong's suspicion fell on classmate Zhang.

"Zhongxuan Gong, it just so happened that the younger brother was going to give a lecture to the prince today, and the prince lived at the back of Zhongcui Palace and caught up with this matter. In fact, Li Guifei also said that she invited Zhongxuan Gong to come over. ”

"Why not?" Gao Gong roared.

"It's the little brother who won't let me!" Zhang Juzheng straightened his chest.

Gao Gong was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he rushed to Zhang Juzheng, word by word, "For!" Miscellaneous! What!? ”

"For Your Majesty!"

Zhang Juzheng was not to be outdone, "Zhongxuan Gong is jealous and hateful, and he knows everything, if you know about this matter, you will definitely investigate it to the end and never tolerate it." Things in the palace have always been the most talked about by the people, and there is no story to make up a story, the example of Wan Guifei is needless to say, Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the virtuous king, also made a farce of changing the tanuki for the prince! It's obviously fake, but it's long-lasting and spreads far and wide. As His Majesty's courtier, the younger brother categorically can't let His Majesty become a laughing stock in some people's mouths!

These words really hit Gao Gong's sore spot, no one can care more about Longqing than him, Gao Gong had no children in his early years, Longqing has a father is equal to no father, they are like fathers and sons more than monarchs.

If it weren't for the fear of causing chaos in the palace and the royal family's facelessness, how could Gao Gong have the leisure to play nonsense with Zhang Juzheng.

"Your Majesty's reputation is important, but as courtiers, we can't watch Your Majesty being deceived and remain silent. Who is disturbing the palace, you must have an explanation to Your Majesty! ”

Gao Gong pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Elder Zhang Ge, don't bother the two masters, since you have taken it, I will leave it to you to dispose of." ”

"Little brother takes the order!"

Zhang Juzheng bowed down, with a hint of joy on his face, who knew that he only smiled halfway, and Gao Gong added, "Let Tang Ge Lao cooperate in handling the case, and you can go and investigate together." (To be continued.) )
