Qi Yu looked at Zhang Wei, who bowed his head respectfully, thinking of his "brave and loyal" confession, and sneered in his heart.

Although he didn't like Zhang Gui's abuse of power, Zhang Gui had at least done practical things in power, and it did make Daqi gradually prosperous, and Zhang Wei actually wanted to rely on a few words to provoke, so he turned against Zhang Gui, which was too naïve and underestimated him.

Even if Huang Yi'an hadn't been informed earlier, he would not have been easily instigated and agitated by Zhang Wei, let alone now that he knew the relationship between Zhang Wei and Gao Heng and Zhang Gui.

Qi Yu folded his hands, frowned and asked, "Is Zhang Aiqing's words true?" Motosuke has always been loyal and sincere, even if he disagrees with me, but no matter what, I will not believe that Motosuke would actually plant eyeliner next to me?

"What's more, Feng Daban lives in the inner court, when did he collude with Yuan Fu inside and outside?"

The tone was full of suspicion.

Zhang Wei thought to himself, Your Majesty, just pretend, do you really think that a welcome in the suburbs can cover up all the contradictions and conflicts in the past?

But the emperor asked, but Zhang Wei couldn't help but answer respectfully.

"The minister is also loyal to His Majesty, and he can show the sun and the moon, and he will never dare to spread rumors to slander Lord Shoufu and deceive His Majesty." Zhang Wei replied with an arched hand.

"Zhang Aiqing is loyal to me, and I know this." Qi Yu praised Zhang Wei first, and then asked again, "However, I can't believe that Yuan Fu would do such a thing." Why don't I order someone to invite Yuanfu over, how about the two of them confronting each other? ”

As soon as Zhang Wei heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground with a "plop", and confessed with tears: "Your Majesty, if the minister has half a word of deception, he will definitely make the minister die a good death!" ”

Qi Yu sank his face, snorted coldly, and said, "Since you are not deceiving, why don't you dare to confront you?" Also, Feng Yongting's case is clear, his crime should be punished, you are assisting in this matter, why do you need to make credit for the crime?

"Zhang Aiqing is serving Yuanfu carefully, but on the other hand, he is telling me, do you want to meet the source left and right, or use my hand to avenge Gao Ge Lao?"

Zhang Wei heard Qi Yu ask for guilt in a cold voice, cold sweat couldn't help but dripping on his forehead, and when he heard the last sentence, he was even more frightened and pleaded guilty, not daring to refute.

How could the emperor know about his relationship with Gao Heng?

For so many years, even Jang Gyu didn't find out!

Qi Yu's accountability was so unexpected that he, a veteran who was used to greeting him, didn't know how to respond for a while.

Qi Yu didn't urge him, returned to the imperial case and sat down, waiting for Zhang Wei's answer.

In front of Zhang Wei, there is only one way left to do fine work for him by Zhang Gui's side, Qi Yu believes that as long as Zhang Wei is not stupid, he will not disagree.

……

At sunset, Zhang Wei left the palace.

However, as soon as he left the palace gate, he was blocked by Zhang Gui's long entourage.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Shoufu, please." I bow down for a long time, and please do it.

Zhang Wei looked around, and no one was there, but this person was able to stop him in time, which showed that he had been waiting here for a long time.

That's right, Zhang Gui was already suspicious of him because of Feng Yongting's case, and now that he sees him seeing the emperor in the back of the court, he will definitely not be at ease to summon him to ask him clearly.

Zhang Wei bowed slightly, boarded the car with the elder, and left all the way to Zhang's mansion.

On the way, Zhang Wei thought about all the things that Zhang Gui might ask, and thought of ways to deal with them.

Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as he arrived at the study outside Zhang's mansion, after seeing the ceremony, Zhang Gui sent everyone back and asked bluntly: "After the dynasty dispersed this morning, you went to find Your Majesty, what is the matter?" ”

Zhang Wei replied: "It's to investigate the matter of garrisoning troops and tuntian in various places a few days ago. ”

Zhang Gui frowned and asked, "Has Your Majesty already made a move?" ”

Zhang Wei mentioned this matter once in a letter before, saying that the guards in various places wrote to urge them to pay, and the household department found that there were errors in the number of people and fields when calculating, so Qi Yu moved the idea of investigating the soldiers and tuntian in various guards, so as not to prevent people from making false reports and concealing reports, embezzling food and salaries, and enriching their own pockets.

Zhang Gui felt that it was necessary to implement the new policy in the army, and it was necessary to make preparations in advance to investigate the matters such as the garrison and the tuntian, so he only replied with the sentence "I know, and I will discuss it in detail after returning to Beijing" and then exposed the matter.

He thought that with such a big move, Qi Yu would definitely discuss it with him before taking action.

Zhang Wei arched his hand and replied: "Not yet." His Majesty's intention is to wait for Lord Shoufu to return to Beijing to discuss before making a decision. Therefore, after going down to court today, the lower officials went to ask His Majesty to show him. ”

Zhang Gui nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

Qi Yu finally remembered that he, the head of the cabinet, had never made decisions indiscriminately.

Thinking about the reason why Feng Yongting was driven out of the capital, in addition to the incidents of Feng Lin and Feng Xi one after another, Qi Yu became suspicious of him, but I am afraid that most of them will blame Feng Yongting for being too arrogant, forging the queen's handwriting, deceiving the emperor, and vainly trying to influence the affairs of the harem, which is a big taboo.

"And what did Your Majesty say?" Jang Gyu asked.

Zhang Wei replied respectfully: "Your Majesty means that it is already late September, and there have been two snowstorms early, the weather is very cold, and foreign enemies are watching and deliberately disturbing the border frequently.

"Therefore, His Majesty intends to first allocate the rations and salaries according to the number of people reported by the guards, but he must send officials to personally go to the guards to supervise the distribution, and take the opportunity to find out the number of troops in the garrison and other matters.

"However, Your Majesty said that this matter is very important, and it is necessary for Lord Shoufu to come up with a detailed charter and elect a suitable candidate, so as not to act hastily and not achieve results, but to cause the morale of the army to be shaken and ruin a big thing."

After hearing this, Zhang Gui became more and more satisfied, and nodded and smiled: "That's how it should be." Thank you for your trust, and this official will handle this matter properly. ”

Zhang Wei praised him, but he thought in his heart, the emperor handed over such a heavy task to Zhang Gui, did he trust Zhang Gui, or did he want to dump the blame on Zhang Gui?

You must know that false reports and concealment of reports have always been common in the army, and many generals have also taken advantage of this to be greedy for fat brains and fertile land. At this time, it is necessary to investigate the garrison and tuntian of various guards, which will inevitably arouse their opposition.

At this time, whoever comes forward to do this will inevitably bear the corresponding infamy and resentment.

The emperor pretended to be obedient and pushed Zhang Gui to the front at this time, which not only dispelled Zhang Gui's suspicions due to Feng Yongting's case to a certain extent, but also allowed Zhang Gui to block the arrow for himself, which is really killing two birds with one stone!

Zhang Gui probably couldn't have imagined that the imperial mental techniques he taught the emperor would one day be used on himself.

For the first time, Zhang Wei felt that the young son of heaven sitting on the throne, under the appearance of gentleness and weakness, was actually a fierce tiger, as long as the time was right, he immediately showed his claws and fangs, and wanted to kill the other party.

It's chilling.

The original fantasy of Zhang Gui's sole power after the abdication, Zhang Wei felt that it would be difficult to achieve.
