But fortunately, Emperor Wanli has also matured a lot, and at this time, he has suppressed his anger and raised his head, laughed twice before saying, "Grandma, nothing has happened to this courtier, let's discuss plotting to seize the courtier's family property, isn't it okay?"

But the old lady said eloquently, "How can this be a conspiracy to rob the courtier's property? Let's just help him watch it temporarily, otherwise those properties will be divided by others, and it won't be cheaper for outsiders! Besides, it's not like we won't pay him back! When the officials of the court no longer pursue him, it should be his property or his!"

Emperor Wanli was almost scolding in his heart at this time! But he also knew that his mother wouldn't be on his side anymore! Because he knows that in the eyes of Empress Dowager Li, the most important thing in the world is that his son can sit on the dragon chair of Daming! As for the courtiers, it doesn't matter if they sacrifice it!

So when he looked at the Empress Dowager Li, he found that although the Empress Dowager Li did not speak, her eyes flickered, obviously hesitating! So he felt that he couldn't give Empress Dowager Li a chance to speak! Once Empress Dowager Li spoke, she had no chance to refute!

So he immediately got up and said, "Grandma, uncle, things haven't come to this point yet, it's a little too early to arrange it now! We'll talk about it later!"

After speaking, he turned back to the Empress Dowager Li and said, "Queen Mother, I still have some things there, go back and deal with them first!" I'm quitting first!"

After saying that, he gave a quick salute to a few people and turned to leave. And standing next to him, he didn't dare to speak, and he also knew Emperor Wanli's thoughts, so he immediately went over and grabbed his arm to help him walk out quickly.

When Emperor Wanli left, the old lady sat down and complained to Empress Dowager Li and said, "You too, why don't you help talk? As long as you open your mouth, there is no possibility of refusal!"

Empress Dowager Li thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about this matter first, let's see the situation tomorrow first!" Maybe it's not here yet." ap.

Li Wenquan sneered at this time and said, "Sister, you don't know the scene outside in the deep palace! The person I sent to inquire about the news reported that the people who delivered the news outside were running back and forth on the streets almost unabashedly, and many people were gathering to discuss countermeasures, but I was afraid that tomorrow's small pilgrimage meeting would become a big pilgrimage meeting!"

Empress Dowager Li was silent after hearing this! She's really worried that there will be a problem in tomorrow's court! In fact, Emperor Wanli and Liu Haojia both received feedback from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the situation outside is indeed as Li Wenquan said.

The civil officials are busy in tandem, especially those behind the salt merchants, who are even encouraging the officials who have a relationship with them to make a rebellion tomorrow morning! But the most interesting thing is that the core of the entire storm, that is, the current situation of those dozens of scholars, was ignored at all, and no one went to Gu Ninghou's Mansion to ask for or protect those scholars, just let them fend for themselves! In the eyes of those in high positions, they are just an introduction to the court dispute, and it doesn't matter whether they live or die!

Also receiving the news was Zhang Juzheng. He returned home and changed into casual clothes at home, and was listening to You Qi's report on the news outside.

After You Qi finished his report, he finally said, "Master, now it seems that Tianjin's salt works can be said to be very important! If the master can hold it in his hands, maybe he can really reduce the price of the entire Daming salt, what kind of feat? It's already light to say that it will go down in history!"

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "The old man will naturally go down in history, so why do you need a small salt farm! But what I didn't expect was that he was able to do things to this point as a nobleman, which was indeed unexpected!"

You Qi said: "But according to the old slave, he can only go so far, and it is not good whether he can keep the title of Wu Ninghou tomorrow!" As far as the old slave knows, there are already a large number of civil officials gathering, and I am afraid that tomorrow we will have a collective attack!"

You Qi said this and said in a low voice, "Not only that, but the old slave received the news that it was said that Wu Ninghou killed two scholars and was buried in a mass grave outside the city! With this matter alone, his title of Wu Ninghou will not be stable!"

Zhang Juzheng almost didn't pull off a few of his beards when he heard this! He thought about it carefully, put down his hand and said, "What's going on? Let's hear more about it!"

You Qi immediately said, "Just now

The person in front told me that a car came out of the back door of Gu Ninghou's mansion and went straight out of the city. Many of the people who were staring at the Hou Mansion followed them out of the city! said that after waiting for Wu Ninghou's people to leave, the bodies of the two scholars were dug up in the mass grave, and they were all beaten to a disfigured level! However, we didn't send anyone to keep an eye on Gu Ninghoufu, so the news was heard by someone else! But I can't go wrong! It seems that some of those dozens of soldiers were killed by Wu Ninghou!"

At this time, Zhang Juzheng had already figured it out, he stroked his beard vigorously and laughed and said, "The old man feels that something is not quite right about this matter! That Wu Ninghou has always been meticulous in his work, how could there suddenly be a matter of imprisoning dozens of scholars!"

You Qi was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Is there anything else that can't be said in this?"

Zhang Juzheng said proudly: "If he doesn't bury people in the mass grave, the old man is really not sure whether the matter is true or false! Now that he has come up with this, it shows that those scholars are safe and sound! I just don't know who he's going to pit again? Well, send a message to our people and tell them not to mess around tomorrow and let others take the lead!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng said solemnly: "The old man knows that many of us are very jealous of Tianjin's business! That's a business like a sea of gold and silver! But the more this happens, the more you can't move! Tell them not to get involved in this incident! If you get involved, don't blame the old man for not being emotional!"

You Qi has always been convinced of Zhang Juzheng, and he also knows that his master has always had no last resort, so he immediately decided that there was a problem in this matter. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, this time Zhang Ge Lao's activities are very powerful, I'm afraid that he will be against Wu Ninghou!" I just don't know if he'll see it!"

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time before he said, "This Father Liu doesn't know either! However, Feng Pan has always been a little stubborn, if he is blinded by the Liu family's industry again, this is really hard to say!"

You Qi naturally knew that Zhang Juzheng was careful, and he wished that Zhang Siwei would make a mistake, so he immediately smiled and said, "Then I hope Wu Ninghou's family foundation is a little thicker!" That's what makes it appealing!"

Zhang Juzheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "You old man chews your tongue here! Get on to work!"
