- "Ah, oh" Zhang Juzheng composed himself and motioned to his attendants to go out and close the door.
Taking advantage of this little time, his mind was spinning rapidly, and countless thoughts drifted through his mind. Naturally, this also includes whether or not to change course.
But he gave up the idea in a blink of an eye. A person like him cannot be a wallflower
After the door to the duty room closed silently, Zhang Juzheng asked in a deep voice: "Brother Dazhou, where did these two letters come from?"
"Do you believe me when I say I don't know?" Zhao Zhenji smiled bitterly. He is an honest gentleman and will not lie. "I also interrogated Cao Daye. He said that someone stuffed it into the crack of his door yesterday. After seeing it, he was filled with righteous indignation and wrote a bullet in the night."
"Stuffed into the crack of the door?" Zhang Juzheng's mouth twitched, unable to believe this ridiculous statement.
He knew that Cao Daye was Zhao Zhenji¡¯s fellow Sichuan fellow, and that Zhao Zhenji was inextricably related to the Taizhou School. As for the Taizhou School since Wang Xinzhai, most of its disciples are those who fight dragons and snakes with bare hands, and its followers are spread across all three religions and nine streams.
He guessed that there were probably disciples and grandsons of Yan Shannong among the soldiers at the express delivery shop, who privately opened the letters between Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu He learned from the contents of these two letters that in just one month, Xiao Wei I have written eight letters and sent them to my uncle. With such a high frequency, it is difficult not to attract attention.
"Well, it must be like this" Zhang Juzheng was secretly convinced. He took a deep look at Zhao Zhenji and said to himself that it is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. This Sichuan Yaozi actually hid such a fatal killing move.
"I can't help you if you don't believe me, but Cao Daye comes from a family of officials for generations. There is no need to make up lies and falsely accuse the current government in order to get ahead." Zhao Zhenji spread his hands and said.
"Not bad." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said to himself: I didn't say this letter was fake, I just asked you how you got it!
Seeing that Ding Mao couldn¡¯t answer the question, he changed the subject and said, ¡°What is Brother Dazhou going to do?¡±
"They handed the bullets to the cabinet, so of course I'll take care of business." Zhao Zhenji also stared at him and said: "I also saw that you and Mr. Gao Ge were getting too close, and I was afraid that it would harm Chi Yu, so I just came here to ventilate with you first. "
"Thank you, Brother Dazhou, for your kind words." Zhang Juzheng cupped his fists and thanked him: "This is a serious matter, so please think twice."
"What else are you thinking about?" Zhao Zhenji flicked his sleeves and said: "Don't think I can't see it. You are also very aggrieved under the old men in the high court. That tall beard is domineering and has no eyes left. Although he still thinks highly of you, it is just I treat you like a tool What's the point of being a tool? Not to mention suffering and suffering, once you lose your use value, you will be discarded like a pair of worn-out shoes!"
"Alas" Zhang Juzheng blushed at the words. Sure enough, bystanders could tell, but he didn't expect that he would be so ridiculous in the eyes of others.
"Don't go into detail, let's just say that the last victory at Xifengkou was due to his tall beard? No, it was you, Zhang Taiyue, who chose Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang against all opinions, and you have spared no effort to support them in their vigorous military development for three years. Only those who don't sing can make a big splash!" Zhao Zhenji continued to separate while the iron was hot: "But at the end of the day, all the credit was taken away by him. As a result, everyone from top to bottom is praising Mr. Gao Ge for being extremely wise. Where is Mr. Zhang Ge? None of the 'wiser' ones got along."
¡°As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Juzheng, chuckled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t mean to stir up trouble, but Gao Huzi picked peaches and didn¡¯t say a fair word for you. I definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to bear it.¡±
"Well, as long as we can expel the Tartars and defend the capital, it doesn't matter whose credit it is?" Zhang Juzheng smiled sarcastically, but looking at his smiling face, it seemed that Zhao Zhenji had really touched the thorn in his heart.
"Okay, even if you, Zhang Taiyue, are upright and upright, the tribute paid to me this time is different from the one at Xifengkou. This time, I tolerated adultery and brought harm to the country and the people! Do you want to join in and be stained with this eternal infamy?" Zhao Zhenji asked in a raised voice.
"Brother Dazhou is exaggerating." Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly.
"I have been a convict for decades, and my hands are stained with the blood of my Ming people. From Yumen Pass to Shanhaiguan, his evil deeds are known to everyone! If we make peace with this great enemy today, it will be like the Han Dynasty making peace and the Song Dynasty professing vassalage. Losing power and humiliating the country!" Zhao Zhenji said indignantly: "And this example is equivalent to announcing to the world that it doesn't matter if you rebel. As long as you surrender in the end, the charges will be wiped off. You can still be a high-ranking official and enjoy a generous salary! Who dare not rebel in the future? I am the Ming Dynasty. The country¡¯s subjugation is just around the corner!¡±
"Brother Dazhou is overly worried." Zhang Juzheng slowly shook his head and said: "Whether it's a marriage or paying tribute, it's because the enemy is strong and we are weak and we can't beat them, so we seek peace. The initiative lies with the other party. Now that we, the Ming Dynasty, are relying on the power of new victory, it is not We cannot defeat the Mongols. It is the Mongols who want to surrender to us, and the initiative is on our side, which is not the same thing at all."
"Why are they not the same thing?" Zhao Zhenji hummed.He said: "If I pay tribute today, what if I betray you tomorrow? Can you guarantee that by making him a prince, you can ensure long-term peace on the border?"
"No." Zhang Juzheng shook his head.
"Then you still support" Zhao Zhenji had an expression of 'you are so confused'.
"The border defense military cannot slack off for a day. How can the Ming Dynasty's national defense be entrusted to whether the Mongols abide by the contract? Even brothers and sisters cannot guarantee that they will not betray their hearts. How can I guarantee that the Mongols will not be betrayed? Will you keep your promise?" But Zhang Juzheng said seriously:
"Furthermore, the two sides have been at war for two hundred years. What does it have to do with whether they pay tribute or not, and whether they betray or not? If you can pay tribute now and reduce the war for a few years, you will make money. Even if the Tatars betray again in the future, Could it be more harmful than continuing to fight? At least we have the opportunity to recuperate and strengthen our troops, right?"
Zhang Juzheng¡¯s words were upright and clear, making Zhao Zhenji irrefutable. If he goes on to say this, it seems as if he is a intolerant man who is motivated by personal grudges rather than abandoning his official duties.
Zhao Zhenji suppressed his chaotic mood and asked with a dark face: "So, you are going to follow him all the way to the dark side?" "
"Bu Gu is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, not anyone's retainer. I will support anything that is beneficial to the country, and I will oppose anything that is harmful to the country!" Zhang Juzheng said righteously.
"Okay, it seems that we have different views and no longer want to conspire with each other!" Zhao Zhenji waved his hand to signal the other party to stop talking. He came to Zhang Juzheng because he was also Emperor Longqing's teacher, and there were things he could say to him that would be a hundred times more effective than saying them himself.
On the other hand, if Zhang Juzheng is also brought over, the four-person cabinet will be three to one. In addition, Mr. Chen Ge was forced to leave by Gao Gong before. Even if Emperor Longqing loved his Master Gao, he knew what to choose.
"It's a pity that Zhang Juzheng still persisted in his obsession even though he had already shown his trump card.
This time, I have revealed my trump card in advance
After thinking about this, Zhao Zhenji picked up the bullets and stationery on the table in a bad mood and walked straight out of his check-in room.
"Brother Dazhou." Zhang Juzheng called from behind.
"" Zhao Zhenji stopped, feeling a little lucky again.
"Let's forget it, okay? Everyone, including Zhang Ziwei, is doing it for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." But Zhang Juzheng advised: "There's no need to end up in a desperate situation, right?"
Zhao Zhenji was silent for a while, then turned around and said seriously: "I have also said that negotiating peace is an act of subjugation to the country. This is not directed at him, the senior high official. Even if it were someone else who advocated this matter, I would still fight to the end!"
After saying that, he let out a loud roar and resolutely closed the door and went out.
??~~
Zhang Juzheng stood blankly for a moment, pinched himself hard, forced himself to calm down, and then walked around the check-in room to think of countermeasures.
This matter is undoubtedly a big crisis. If the tribute is not paid, it will be yellow, and even the high arch will be overturned. So how to resolve this crisis, and more importantly, what will I lose and what will I gain?
After drinking tea, Zhang Juzheng stopped suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he realized that at least for himself, this was not a bad thing!
Having made up his mind, Bu Gu¡¯s long beard became soft again. He solemnly ordered his chief attendant: ¡°Please invite Eunuch Feng to meet you at the old place tonight.¡±
After saying this, Zhang Juzheng went out and went upstairs to see Gao Gong again.
"Hey, uncle, why are you here again?" Seeing him go and come back, Gao Gong took off his dagger and asked jokingly: "What, you haven't figured it out yet?"
"Brother Suqing, something happened!" Zhang Juzheng looked gloomily and asked Shen Yingkui to go out, close the door, and tell Gao Gong exactly what happened just now.
Gao Gong was stunned for a long time after listening. After a long time, he picked up the white jade pen holder on the table and smashed it into pieces.
"Eh! What a fool!" He angrily burst out in Henan dialect and roared: "Dad is a fool, Zhang Siwei, this scumbag kid, patted his chest and told me that his communication channel for Shanxi merchants It¡¯s very safe, but people saw it naked!¡±
"The content of the vote was really seen from Mr. Ge's point of view?" Zhang Juzheng asked in a deep voice.
"He hasn't come in the past two days. How can I send someone to give it to him?" Gao Gong said very depressedly: "But it's hard to say whether Ai Chen has revealed it to him."
"Oh, I have long advised Brother Su Qing not to let these ignorant people in the world know the secrets. They are too frivolous!" How could Zhang Juzheng let go of this opportunity to sow discord.
"Well, I'm just guessing, don't jump to conclusions yet." Although Gao Gong still spoke harshly, his expression showed obvious frustration. He rubbed his temples, forced himself to cheer up and said, "Let's think about how to get through this level first."
"Yes." Zhang Juzheng nodded.
"Uncle, what do you think?" Gao Gong asked.
"When things have reached this point, we can no longer cover them up." Zhang Juzheng said solemnly: "Even if we keep this bullet in the target, they can still spread it everywhere, and then we will be even more passive!"
¡°Especially the content of those two letters, if it involves the cabinet, not only will the tribute proposal be compromised, but we will also have nothing to say to argue!¡±
"Yes" How smart is Gao Gong? After Zhang Juzheng made this move, he immediately thought clearly about the pros and cons, and heard his implication clearly - at this time, he could only save himself by passing the blame. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?Get past this level. "
"Yes." Zhang Juzheng nodded.
"Uncle, what do you think?" Gao Gong asked.
"When things have reached this point, we can no longer cover them up." Zhang Juzheng said solemnly: "Even if we keep this bullet in the target, they can still spread it everywhere, and then we will be even more passive!"
¡°Especially the content of those two letters, if it involves the cabinet, not only will the tribute proposal be compromised, but we will also have nothing to say to argue!¡±
