In the following two months, Zhang Jia carefully mobilized credible personnel, and finally said that all the suspects were taken down and sent to the torture room. But the results came out and everyone was taken by surprise!

In Emperor Wanli's bedroom, Liu Haojia's eyes widened, and Emperor Wanli, who knew the news earlier, wanted to laugh, and even his tense heart was much more relaxed!

Liu Haojia was surprised because he had just heard a strange news: those people had confessed, except for some nobles and people installed by civil officials, the rest of them belonged to an organization or gang called the Juggernaut Society!

He had never heard of what this Juggernaut Society was, but the eunuchs who were on trial clearly explained that many people knew about the existence of the Juggernaut Society, which was already a semi-public organization, but low-level officials didn't know about it! This name has long been known among the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty!

After listening to Zhang Jia's confession, Emperor Wanli said: "Although I have heard it once, I still think it is impossible! How could such a big club have no news at all, Jinyiwei has never reported it, and the officials at all levels have not found out. Maybe these prisoners are talking nonsense in order to get rid of their crimes! ”

Originally, Liu Haojia was also at a loss and had no clue, but when Emperor Wanli mentioned the government, he was reminded of the government and inspired! He immediately said to Zhang Jia: "Father-in-law Zhang, you immediately send someone to ask again, is this What Masters Association is all organized by civil officials?" ”

Although Emperor Wanli was stunned by Liu Haojia's train of thought, he still urged Zhang Jia to go back quickly. And he was very patient, and he didn't ask Liu Haojia what he thought.

Soon Zhang Jia and Li Song rushed back, and Li Song said with a little admiration: "Lord Liu is really like a god!" Gonggong Zhang has already asked clearly, this juggernaut meeting was organized by civil officials! However, these palace people don't know much, they are either trained and inserted since childhood, or they have a handle or their family members are in the hands of others, so they don't know much about the affairs of the Juggernaut Society, and some people even only know a name. However, based on their statements, it seems that the Juggernaut Society is not an organization that wants to rebel, which is a bit strange! ”

Liu Haojia had fully understood at this time, and he said to Emperor Wanli: "Long live Lord, I can't complain about others in this matter, only ourselves!" ”

Emperor Wanli said in surprise: "Why do you say that? ”

Liu Haojia said: "Long live you, Lord Lord, you have been in the palace all day, and the information you have received is limited. Kechen's grade is too low to touch anything. In addition, it was targeted by civilian officials, so it is difficult to know some news that can only be circulated in officialdom! And in the opinion of the ministers, this juggernaut does not want to rebel, they only want to limit the power of the emperor and maintain the status of civil officials, so this can also explain why this semi-public organization has not been targeted! Because this organization is beneficial to the civilian officials, they naturally turn a blind eye and close an eye! As for where Xungui is, either he doesn't know, or the person who knows has been bribed or blackmailed, and he deliberately pretends not to know! As for Jinyiwei, Liu Shouyou is already a civil official at all, so it is even more impossible for him to mention this matter to His Majesty! ”

When Emperor Wanli heard Liu Haojia's explanation, he vaguely felt that he was right, and immediately gritted his teeth and scolded loudly: "Liu Shou has this dog thief!" ”

After he vented, he calmed down and said, "What about this matter?" Now we can't get our hands on those clerks! And Liu Shouyou is not obedient at all, it is better to let them do it than let Dongchang do it! ”

Liu Haojia thought about it and said: "The minister thinks that he still can't do it now, it's too much involved!" It's better to talk to Zhang Xiangye! ”

Emperor Wanli said angrily: "If it is really like these spies explained, everyone in the civil and high-level officials knows about the Juggernaut Society, but he does not say a word to me, does he still have me as a student in his eyes?" Is there still an emperor like me? And I don't believe that Liu Shou didn't grasp the news of the Juggernaut Society because of that dog, and it must be his instruction to conceal it and not report it! ”

Liu Haojia persuaded and said: "Long live the lord, the minister thinks that this matter must be spread out with Zhang Xiangye!" If the spies confess the truth, then Zhang Xiangye must also know about the Juggernaut Society. But he sits in the position of the first assistant, and he has to think about the whole world. He will definitely let go of an organization like this, which is itself a civilian official and has no intention of rebellion, but he will never ignore it! After all, he is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally has no good impression of this kind of club! If the Lord of Banzai opens up and talks to him, maybe it will have a miraculous effect! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Haojia talked and said: "There are not many people available to Long Live Lord now, and the civil officials who have taken refuge in us are not of high grade, and there are still very few people, so we don't know many things!" Otherwise, this news would not have been known through an old palace man who could not serve! It can be seen that Long Live Lord still has to think more about civil officials! ”

Emperor Wanli was also deflated when he heard this, but he still resolutely refused to compromise with Zhang Juzheng! Liu Haojia couldn't be comforted many times, and had to say: "Long live Lord, this is a big trick of Zhang Xiangye!" Not to mention anything else, not reporting it is his dereliction of duty as the first assistant, and if he uses it well, he may be able to let the Lord Banzai grasp some rights in advance! And there is another point, don't forget, our Ming Dynasty prohibits secret associations, this is a crime to be executed, if Zhang Xiangye cherishes those civil officials, he will make concessions! Even if he doesn't back down, let him deal with the Juggernaut Council, and it will also make him lose support among the civil officials, and when the time comes, in order to sit firmly in the phase, maybe he will need the support of the Long Live Lord! ”

When Emperor Wanli heard this, he immediately became energetic and began to ponder Liu Haojia's suggestion. However, he completely abandoned Liu Haojia's first half of the suggestion and said, "Can we deal with them like the White Lotus Sect?" ”

Liu Haojia didn't let go when he saw that Emperor Wanli was dead, so he could only say: "It's not impossible, it's just that the time hasn't come yet!" An organization like this must have big roots and deep roots, and if you don't die if you fight a snake, you will inevitably suffer from it! So fighting for Zhang Xiangye is the top priority! ”

In the following period of time, Liu Haojia kept persuading Emperor Wanli to cooperate with Zhang Juzheng. But what he didn't know was that Emperor Wanli, who had just been stimulated by Zhang Juzheng recently, was resolutely opposed to this opinion!

In the end, he was annoyed by Liu Haojia's words, and said directly: "I want to discuss this matter with the queen mother, you should retreat first!" ”
