In the western suburbs of Beijing, Xu Jue rode his horse and galloped, and the dozen or so horsemen behind him couldn't imagine that this ugly-looking steward like a humanoid toad actually had such superb riding skills.

Xu Jue didn't have time to think about the feelings of his entourage, he was just anxious now, and he was in a hurry to send Zhang Ge Lao's reply back to Jingshi quickly, so that his master would know what the real danger was at the moment.

When he was ordered to see Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao didn't know that he had been appointed with a palm print, and Feng Bao at that time was stimulated by Li Wenjin, and in a fit of anger, he asked Chu Zhiyuan to design and frame Gao Pragmatic.

Xu Jue knew that the situation was only here, but he rushed to Tianshou Mountain to tell Zhang Juzheng about the situation, and Zhang Ge, who has always been calm and calm on weekdays, actually broke out of the fire directly, "ridiculous", "naïve", "no city" and so on, and scolded Xu Jue, who was not Zhang Ge's old subordinate at all.

It was easy to wait for Zhang Juzheng to get tired of scolding, and Xu Jue asked him tremblingly why he was so angry. Zhang Juzheng had just been deflated, but now he was angry again, and while scolding, he gave Xu Jue a simple analysis of the situation.

The scolding words are too inconsistent with Zhang Gelao's tone, so I won't go into details, but mainly talk about Zhang Juzheng's point of view.

Zhang Juzheng believes that now is the key point of the transfer of power, no matter how favored and trusted Gao Gong was back then, and even before Longqing died, he handed over the first committee of the national affairs to Gao Gong to decide, but after all, the current emperor is already Zhu Yijun, and Li Guifei is the emperor's biological mother, who has complete influence or control over the emperor who is only ten years old and has not been in power.

At this time, unless there is a huge scandal in Li Guifei herself, which is so big that Gao Gong can use it to depose Li Guifei, Li Guifei is equal to imperial power!

What scandal can Li Guifei have? Then can you still touch a man in the palace and can't get along with her? When the two palaces even met with the courtiers of the outer court, there had to be a large number of eunuchs and palace maids waiting by their side!

Still? Unless the male mosquito is also considered a man.

So the only possibility is gone. In other words, Gao Gong was no threat to Concubine Li.

Since Li Guifei is not in danger, as long as Feng Bao insists on obeying her orders in everything, it is equivalent to being invincible, whether to do this palm print or not is just a nominal problem, and as long as he is not in a hurry, this palm print will be his sooner or later.

Zhang Juzheng sighed and taught Xu Jue, "You should have heard some of the conversations between the cabinet department and your master, haven't you understood some of the meanings?" In the case of your master, as long as An An waits, the palm print will be his. I know that he has a deep hatred for the uncle and nephew of the Gao family, but if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan, and now it is they who should be anxious, what is your master in a hurry? As long as your master is not in a hurry and sits firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and does not move, they must move! And when they move, there will be flaws, and it will be convenient for your master to make a move and defeat the enemy with one blow! ”

Xu Jue may be a little clever, but in this kind of overall national situation and high-level competition, he only has a place to bow down in front of Zhang Juzheng, and when he heard this, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should my master do now?" ”

"What should I do?" Zhang Juzheng sighed, "You go back as soon as possible to see if you can stop it in time, if you can, that's the best, your master just needs to stay quietly, no matter how the uncle and nephew of the Gao family move, he doesn't respond, just wait for the concubine." ”

Then he paused, and said, "If it's too late, you have to deal with it decisively." ”

"How to deal with it decisively?" Xu Jue asked again.

Zhang Juzheng's anger came up again, and he said coldly, "Whoever is involved, kill them first!" As long as your master is okay, there is still room for things to turn around. ”

Xu Jue didn't dare to ask this question again, so he only promised a few times, turned the conversation around, and asked about another thing that Feng Bao was worried about, "My master still has something to ask when will you be able to return to Beijing?" ”

Zhang Juzheng said, "Let's go two days, there will be no fault in such a thing as the emperor's mountain mausoleum." ”

Xu Jue answered, and was about to leave, not wanting someone from outside to report, saying that Meng Chong, the new eunuch of Changping Town and the mausoleum worker, asked to see him.

Zhang Juzheng was surprised: "Meng Chong? Which Meng Chong? ”

It was reported that "it was the former chief eunuch Meng Gong, who was the former celebrant and the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, and it was rumored that he had asked to resign from the post of the celebrant and the eunuch to promote the mausoleum for Emperor Daxing." ”

Zhang Juzheng was taken aback and asked, "Who is the palm print of the celebrant now?" ”

The person who came didn't know Xu Jue's identity, and simply replied, "It's Feng Gong, the former commander of Dongchang." ”

Zhang Juzheng's face changed greatly, he glanced at Xu Jue, and said with a calm face, "Jingli is only afraid that something will happen, and Meng Chong is only afraid that it may not be as simple as promoting the mausoleum workers." ”

Xu Jue was also anxious, and said, "Elder Ge, why don't you go through the back door first?" ”

"You wait a minute." Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Don't be in a hurry, at this moment, and wait for me to test Meng Chong's tone, and then it's not too late to make a decision." ”

As a result, Zhang Juzheng felt that something was wrong.

Of course, Meng Chong would not tell Zhang Juzheng, saying that he knew that Concubine Li Guifei had Feng Bao as the palm seal, so he was promoted to the mausoleum under the persuasion of Gao Pragmatic, but he also knew that with his own ability, he was afraid that it would be self-defeating to deceive Zhang Juzheng with lies, so he simply briefly described the things on the surface.

After listening to this, Zhang Juzheng immediately sensitively felt that there was something wrong with the matter. The palm print of the master of ceremonies is something that Feng Bao has in mind and has never been able to get, why did Meng Chong give up the palm seal in a good manner? Standing behind him was Gao Gong, if Gao Gong didn't nod, would Meng Chong resign?

But why did Gao Gong nod? This is completely counterintuitive. If Gao Gong was willing to let Feng Bao do the palm print, he would have recommended him to do it a long time ago, so why wait until now? In this case, even if Gao Gong personally jumped out to recommend Feng Bao, I am afraid that it will be the same as Xu Jie's recommendation of Gao Gong to enter the cabinet back then, the latter does not buy it at all, and I can do it without you!

There must be a problem here, although the specific situation, due to limited information, it is still difficult to judge, but Zhang Juzheng insists that there is a high arch in retreat!

Meng Chong didn't care about these things, he briefly recounted these things, and began to grasp the matter of the mausoleum and talk endlessly, from the terrain feng shui to the five elements of yin and yang, from the climate and solar terms to spring drought and autumn floods, in a word, he attached great importance to the mausoleum of the Daxing Emperor, and insisted on taking Zhang Juzheng to investigate and investigate in detail

Zhang Juzheng was so entangled by him that he couldn't do it, and it was hard to say that he was too eager, so he seemed to ignore the mausoleum work, so he had to say that he would take a bath, change his clothes and accompany Meng Gongqin down the mountain. Meng Chong got this, and then went to the flower hall to wait for him satisfied.

As soon as Zhang Juzheng waited for Meng Chong to leave, he immediately called Xu Jue out, explained to Xu Jue very seriously, and then sighed, "Meng Chong is here, he must still have a mission, and the cabinet department has already guessed what it is." ”

Xu Jue was very surprised, but he didn't see it at all, so he had to ask, "I don't know what the mission is?" ”

Zhang Juzheng looked helpless and sighed, "Hold me back and don't let me go back to Beijing." ”
