Chapter 12 The conditions for joining the party are exceptionally generous
After dinner, Zhu Yijun told the Empress Dowager Li everything about what happened at the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, and only concealed what he had said to Feng Bao.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces are very young, they are somewhat at a loss when facing the group of old monsters in the outer court, why should they worry?

"How did the emperor think of letting Zhang Hong impersonate Feng Daban?" Empress Dowager Li's eyes became brighter the more she listened, her child seemed to be a little precocious. Without Wang Zhanglong admitting the wrong person, how could Feng Bao get rid of the suspicion so easily, I'm afraid it will be more trouble.

Zhu Yijun flashed his innocent big eyes, and said as a matter of course: "Feng Daban is the big peng in the palace, a villain and a servant, how can I see him? Even if it was really done by Feng Bao, how could Feng Bao show up in person? Then The villain, Wang Zhanglong, insisted that it was Feng Daban who instructed him, so there must be a lie."

"Okay, okay, the emperor is smart, I am gratified for my mother, and you can smile even if you want to come to your father." The Queen Mother Li was a little moved, her eyes were a little moist, and she was actually not afraid of anything when her husband left. Skill, can't keep this foundation.

It's all right now, after this ordeal, the little emperor finally showed some changes, even if it was insignificant, but it was enough to make Queen Mother Li feel relieved.

Zhu Yijun picked up the lamp and watched "Four Books Straight Explanation" under the lamp. After reading for half an hour, he rubbed his eyes and planned to rest. Go to bed early and get up early to be healthy.

Zhang Hong waited on the emperor to wash, he hesitated to speak, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak.

Zhu Yijun handed the scarf to Zhang Hong and asked, "Just say what you want, why bother?"

"Your Majesty, it shouldn't be Gao Gong." Zhang Hong finally expressed his doubts in his heart. When Feng Bao asked His Majesty if he would send troops to capture Gao Gong, His Majesty said wait a moment. Gao Gong might die after waiting for this night. no.

Zhang Hong thought it wasn't Gao Gong, because Zhang Hong lived in Langxia's house and knew that the people who came to Langxia's house were not so capable, so he sent them to Qianqing Palace.

Chen Hong couldn't do it, and neither could Gao Gong, because they had already lost their power.

"It doesn't matter if it's Gao Gong or not." Zhu Yijun looked at the dim crescent moon outside the window, and said calmly: "It depends on tomorrow, how much profit can be exchanged for this matter."

Zhang Hong put down the bed curtain for the little emperor, and then he bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, leave."

The eunuch of the Ming Dynasty had to leave the Qianqing Palace after the time passed, and he would not be able to return until the fifth watch. During the reign of Chongzhen, an eunuch Chen Derun entered the Qianqing Palace a quarter of an hour earlier, and was directly demoted from the palace. The charge was Trespassing in the palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at the sandalwood-carved dragon bed, carefully summed up the events of the day and a half, and then fell into a drowsy sleep.

The waning moon was in the sky, the sky was full of stars, and there were only lights in twos and threes in the entire capital. At this time, the Quanchu Guild Hall on the south side of the east entrance of Luoma City in Xicheng was brilliantly lit.

Where is Quan Chu Guild Hall?

It is also the private residence of Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

In front of the door are two majestic and lifelike stone lions. Under the palace lanterns at night, they are majestic and majestic. It has passed the curfew time, but in front of the Quanchu Guild Hall, there are still two people who handed greeting cards.

It's just a curfew, and those are the rules that only ordinary people need to abide by. The captain of Wucheng Bingma Division dared not stop these two people.

Not long after, the concierge came out and said respectfully: "My master said, just pay a visit, and don't need any gifts."

The concierge motioned for the two to put down the presents they were carrying before leading them into the gate.

Zhang Juzheng collects money, but he doesn't accept money from everyone, he accepts everything. He can't accept the case of assassinating the king. If he accepts it, the officials will impeach him tomorrow, and the queen mother will question him the day after tomorrow.

Quanchu Guild Hall, the entrance is Zhaobi, with the four characters of Sufen Ziyuan written on it. Behind the Zhaobi is a corridor and arches. After a few steps, it is a stone bridge. The bridge is made of white marble. In the small lake, several willow trees hang down on the water surface. When the spring breeze blows, the moonlight, starlight and lights on the lake are completely scattered, which is picturesque.

After crossing the Jiuzhe Bridge, you will find Meridian Well, with the theater building on the left, Wenchang Pavilion on the right, and Chuwan Hall directly in front, with an area of ​​[-] acres.

This is just the front hall, and there are more than 30 acres in the back house. The Quanchu Guild Hall covers an area of ​​more than [-] acres, which is about the size of seven football fields.

The capital with every inch of land and gold, and a private house of [-] acres, are really extravagant.

The concierge informed the two guests again before introducing the two guests into the Wenchang Pavilion with five rooms and nine shelves. This is Zhang Juzheng's study room, all of which are made of hardwood furniture. Waiting and waiting for people to enter the door before greeting each other.

"The Quanchu Guild Hall is really rich, and this going around almost confused me." Yang Bo, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, looked around and praised.

Zhang Juzheng said quite calmly: "I am praised by my fellow villagers. I live here in secret. No matter how rich the Quanchu Guild Hall is, it is not as rich as Yang Tianguan's Quanjin Guild Hall. Please take a seat."

Quanchu Guild Hall is Zhang Juzheng's private house, but it is not in his name. It was built with funds raised by Huguang students. Whenever he came to Enke, Zhang Juzheng would open the private house for Huguang students who came to Beijing to stay in Chuwan Hall.

Zhang Juzheng is now the leader of the Chu Party, but most of Zhang Juzheng's followers are not from Huguang.

For example, Lu Tiaoyang, the second assistant, is from Guangxi, Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Jiliao, is from Shandong, the right servant of the Ministry of War, Liang Menglong, the military affairs governor of Jiliao, is from Zhending of Beizhili, and Chen Rui, the left governor of Huguang, is from Fujian, etc.

At this time, the Chu Party still had no regional cliques.

After Yang Bo and Zhang Juzheng exchanged simple greetings tonight, the sun was shining and they said, "This time, the main reason for coming here is Wang Zhanglong's case."

Ge Shouli, chief constable of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said quite accurately: "It's not Gao Gong's handwriting at all, and the three law divisions have already falsified it. If Dongchang's fan makes a lot of noise, it's an usurping artifact. Someone must have framed it!"

"Yuanfu knows best, Mr. Gao has always been upright, he is a virtuous person, he will be punished even if he hates him, he will be unworthy, and he will be reprimanded even if he is a relative! He has offended many people, and now the tree has fallen and the monkeys are scattered. Give me a few days, and I will definitely get rid of this The thief was caught."

Seeing Ge Shouli's righteous indignation, Yang Bo exhaled, and said with a smile, "President Ge, why don't you go to the courtyard to enjoy the scenery first? This Quanchu Guild Hall has always been elegant."

Handwriting is not important at all, what is important is Zhang Juzheng's attitude.

"I'm not in the mood to enjoy the scenery now." Ge Shouli wanted to say something else, but seeing Zhang Juzheng and Yang Bo both holding tea cups, he could only sneer and went to the courtyard to enjoy the scenery.

The adults have something to say, and the children are playing.

Zhang Juzheng put down the teacup, thought it over and said: "Yang Dazai is a minister of great virtue, and Dazai also has a contract with a certain person. Who wrote the handwriting that Chen Hong offered, Yang Dazai naturally knows, otherwise he would not Will come to my Quanchu Guild Hall."

Yang Bo said quite confidently: "That eunuch Feng Bao may not be able to see it."

Feng Bao was very smart, but he was still not smart enough. There were many twists and turns in this truth. After the Emperor Longqing made his fortune, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty and the eunuchs headed by Feng Bao had gone through a few tricks, so Feng Bao had nothing to worry about.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "What if I see it?"

Zhang Juzheng didn't care whether Feng Bao could see that he was refusing, refusing Yang Bo's coquettish solicitation, refusing Yang Bo's proposed Xiao Gui Cao Sui, refusing to take away the power of the supervisor of ceremonies, and refusing to usurp the artifacts of civil servants.

Xiao Gui, who Gao Gong seized the power of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Zhang Juzheng didn't plan on Cao Sui. The emperor was too young and his power was weak, so he couldn't stand against civil servants at all. If the teeth are knocked out again, the Ming Dynasty will no longer exist.

Zhang Juzheng is well versed in the system of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the design of this system, it was impossible to operate without the emperor.

Yang Bo was silent for a long time, rubbing the middle joint of his index finger with his thumb unconsciously, and said: "During the Song Dynasty, the party was in the sky, and for the sake of the law of the ancestors, we still reformed the old and reformed the old. You fought to the death, and finally gave up half of the country to the Jin people." , it stopped.”

Zhang Juzheng smiled, and immediately replied: "I understand Yang Dazai's meaning, the party's tyranny is a sign of the country's subjugation, it's better to let the Tiqis investigate first, if they find evidence, they will do it, if they can't find evidence, they won't do it, we There is no enmity with Gao Gongsu, so how can there be the theory of being imprisoned by the party? Let's speak with the facts, what does Yang Dazai think?"

Yang Bo shook his head and said, "Tiqi is under the control of the governor of the East Factory. Feng Bao instructed Ti Shuai to forge a few evidences. In a few days, this case will be closed, and the charge will be placed on Gao Gong's head." Come on, the day before yesterday was Yan Song, yesterday was Xu Jie, today is Gao Gong, and tomorrow it will be you Zhang Jiangling."

"Feng Bao didn't do his job well. Letting the villain enter the palace is a capital crime. Now that he is so rampant, we should report to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to get rid of him."

What does the Jin party want to do?The Jin Party wanted Feng Bao's life.

Knock out the weakest link in the iron triangle of Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng.

This political alliance seems to be unbreakable. On major issues, advancing and retreating together can easily harm the core interests of the Jin Party.

However, Feng Bao still appeared in the Wenhua Palace after the case of assassinating the king and killing the driver, and participated in the court meeting. At this time, he should stop the loss immediately. If it continues, it will be extremely detrimental to the Jin Party.

Just as Zhang Juzheng was about to speak, Yang Bo stretched out his hand and said again: "Bai Gui, I'm old. I've been guarding the frontier all the year round. I've suffered from old injuries. Recently, my old illnesses have occurred frequently. The end of my life is approaching. If I leave, I'll leave too. But our Ming Dynasty is in decline, when the Taizu Thirteenth Northern Expedition to Mongolia and Emperor Chengzu Wen's five expeditions to Mobei, the northern captives kept a distance of thousands of miles and did not dare to spy on them, yet today they are going to make peace with the northern captives."

"Don't mention everyone talking about Xiaojia, you have seen that Ge Shouli is simple and straightforward, Wang Chonggu is irritable, Wang Guoguang is cautious, Zhang Siwei... has two ends of a snake and a rat, and is not a minister. If I leave, you, the Quanchu Guild Hall and me Wouldn't it be beautiful to combine the Quanjin Guild Hall into one place?"

"Jishi, if you want to govern, why do you need to do everything possible?"

Yang Bo threw out the conditions for recruiting. After his death, the leader of the Jin Party can be handed over to Zhang Juzheng, and the Jin and Chu merge. At that time, let alone the ambitions in his heart, it is Wang Mang's business, which is not a problem.

There are only orphans and widows in the palace, and Feng Bao is just a slightly stronger dog, what kind of waves can he make?

If Feng Bao could not be knocked out, Zhang Juzheng would be dug out and Zhang Juzheng would be turned into a fellow traveler. Feng Bao and Empress Dowager Li could only take care of the affairs of the palace.

As for the little emperor?Just a ten-year-old little emperor.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Yang Bo and shook his head and said: "My heart is not that big, the Quanchu Guild Hall is big enough, I am not from Shanxi, Yang Dazai fell in love with me wrongly."

"I also have a daughter who has not left the court. She is twenty years old this year. She is waiting for her in her boudoir. She is beautiful and promised to Bai Gui. Bai Gui is also my son-in-law in Shanxi, right?" Yang Bo seemed to have thought that Zhang Juzheng would be like this It is said that Yang Bo does not have a daughter who has not left the cabinet, but he has a lot of family members, and it is enough to choose one of them to be the heir.

If there is no daughter, can't a daughter be created?

In-laws are a kind of relationship between relatives and friends, mainly for this relationship.

Zhang Juzheng also formed a party, but his party was neither obviously regional nor related by marriage.

Yang Boxai doesn't care whether the chief assistant is Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, as long as he supports the Jin Party, he is a good chief assistant. Gao Gong is still from Henan, so why don't he wear the same pair of pants as Wang Chonggu?
With such a generous condition, Zhang Juzheng was still unmoved and said: "Yang Dazai's talk is too far away, let's talk about Wang Zhanglong's case."

Zhang Juzheng refused. He has been an official for 26 years, and he knows exactly that if he accepts Yang Bo's conditions, he can only join forces with the Jin Party and give benefits to the Jin Party.

Governance ambitions?All lies.

This is not the first time that Yang Bo has wooed Zhang Juzheng. Since Gao Gong collapsed last June, Yang Bo has been wooing him.

Yang Bo was sincere, and the conditions he put forward were more and more gracious each time, but Zhang Juzheng was somewhat ignorant of flattery.

Yang Bo looked at Zhang Juzheng, who was not getting in, and said, "I can give in if I pass the test."

Finally got to the point, if you surrender, you surrender. If you don't exchange some core interests, do you want to settle down?

Zhang Juzheng weighed it a bit and shook his head and said: "It's better to let Tiqi go to Xinzheng tomorrow and pass Gao Gong to the capital. It's more appropriate to ask about it. Gaoge's old reputation should not be taken lightly."

Pursuing and killing Gao Gong is equivalent to hunting down the Jin Party supported by Gao Gong. This benefit is not enough.

Yang Bo stood up, looked at Zhang Juzheng and then sighed and said: "The capital will first take the test to become a law. After this matter is over, I will retire and return to my hometown. When I am old, I should go and stay in the court. People hate dogs and hate them."

"The affairs of the bureaucracy depend on Bai Gui."

Zhang Juzheng finally moved, stood up and said, "Let me think about it, and I will give Yang Dazai an answer tomorrow."

Yang Bo walked to the door, stood still and looked at Zhang Juzheng, who was less than fifty in front of him, and said very sincerely: "Bai Gui, I am really sick and old, just like ours, half buried in the west mountain. It's in the dirt, why don't Bai Gui take over the Quanjin Guild Hall?"

"Send Yang Dazai off." Zhang Juzheng didn't answer but just saw off the guests.

 It is very important to follow up, please support me, (づ ̄ 3 ̄)づ
