Forbidden City, West Garden is worth it.

It is a small, inconspicuous house, especially in the Forbidden City, where there are many palaces, but it was once the seat of the imperial court. During the time of Emperor Jiajing, because of the alchemy in Xiyuan, the duty house became the duty place of the cabinet minister, but now no one uses it.

Since the death of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Longqing went to court again, and the cabinet members returned to Wenyuan Pavilion to do business.

But today, the value of Lu ushered in two old acquaintances.

Gao Gong wiped the dust of the bookcase, shook his head and sighed: "It's only been a few years, the internal officials have been cleaned up in a hurry, and they don't care about the dust on the case, the eunuch is a smart person, and he knows that there is no need here." ”

The other person in the value of the house is much more delicate than Gao Gong, the Shanxi man, is the second assistant Zhang Juzheng, he nodded and sighed: "The value of the house is small, four or five people seem crowded, the east and west are not ventilated, and they have to be exposed to the sun all day long, but the cabinet ministers did not feel sad at that time." ”

"How not to be sad." Gao Gong turned his head in surprise and said, "Did Taiyue forget that Gao Mou returned from day and night?" ”

Zhang Juzheng chuckled and said, "Brother Su Qing moved his family to Xi'anmen, not because he was afraid of the sun, wasn't he busy upside down." ”

"If there was no time when the sun rose and the twilight returned, how could there be a view now?"

Gao Lao Xi Lao came to have a son, and the spring breeze was proud.

If Chen Mu was here, he was afraid that he would stare at him. It turned out that when Gao Gong was a cabinet minister, he not only skipped work, but also skipped class to give birth to a baby, and moved his family to Xihua Gate in order to skip class and give birth to a baby!

I'm afraid that compared with Gao Ge Lao, he General Chen is extremely serious.

"Pavilion Elder took his servants to revisit the house today, why is it?"

After talking and laughing, Zhang Juzheng felt a little relaxed, and then asked Gao Gong, in fact, he knew what was going on in his heart, and he could guess that eight or nine were not far from ten.

Sure enough, when it came to business, Gao Gong immediately solemnized, and said to Zhang Juzheng: "The value is still in the dust, and the old Xu Ge, who has been idle, why should he go out of the mountain to serve as the chief of Wushan, does he understand military affairs?" It's just a constraint on Chen Shuai! ”

Zhang Ju sighed, and suddenly smiled: "There must be a mountain chief in the martial arts hall, Xu Ge Lao is heavy enough, and it is impossible to enter the pavilion again, why should Gao Ge Lao be afraid of him?" ”

"I'm afraid of him! You're afraid of him! ”

"Let me ask you what about Xu Jie's son, where is Xu Fan now? Is it released, he fishes and fleshes the people and harms one party. Gao Laoxi was anxious as soon as he said it, and the palm slapping table case stirred up dust, and his voice was not small, and he said: "Some people say that Zhang Juzheng received 30,000 taels of gold!" ”

"You said you were going to join forces with me to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and now you are the second assistant of the cabinet for gold, and you will help him do things? The first emperor asked me to take care of my life, and you tampered with the edict with Xu Jie; I sentenced Xu Fan to be assigned to the army, and you changed him to be the guard of his hometown; I asked Chen Mujian to talk about martial arts, and you sent a message to him to give way and ask Xu Jie to come out of the mountain! ”

"Your Majesty's dragon body is declining, the cabinet decree is not yet unified, if one day Mount Tai falls, how can the ten-year-old prince govern the world? You and I will assist the prince to become an adult, but how can you let me join hands with you to govern the country! ”

Gao Gong hurriedly pointed at Zhang Juzheng, which can be described as extremely rude, he shouted loudly, Zhang Juzheng kept looking at him, until he said 'Mount Tai tilted', then he hurriedly stopped: "Brother Su Qing said carefully, you have the responsibility of governing the country, why be so anxious!" ”

Gao Gong's anger was like a heavy punch on cotton, and he was angry, and Zhang Juzheng was still flat.

"Xu Ge is always my teacher, could it be that one day Gao Ge Lao did something wrong, and Governor Wu would be able to kill you? In today's world, Zhengde and Jiajing have left over from the internal and external difficulties that need to be reformed, and the teacher is more conservative than innovative, and he is driven out of the cabinet by servant activities, and his sons and nephews have done wrong things and servants must do it, so let Hai Rui go to Songjiang; But how many people did the teacher offend during his reign, and the elder asked Xu Fan to send the army to the frontier, that is, to borrow a knife to kill people and cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

"Chen Shuai's elbow is so wide, Xu Ge Lao can't touch his elbow. He is too young, you and I can suppress more than a dozen letters of impeachment in the cabinet in January, and then make him the head of the mountain, wouldn't it be to erect him as a target for people to beat, and the old acquaintances in the high cabinet make good use of it, do you want to watch the fire pit and make him jump in......"

"He's a fart!"

When Zhang Juzheng talked about Xu Jie's family affairs, Gao Gongchang blushed and didn't speak, and he couldn't speak, because he really wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but when Zhang Juzheng talked about Chen Mu, Gao Laoxi could finally speak!

"The court officials are all blind, and what else do they say Chen Zhenshuo used to buy people's hearts and minds, and set up another martial arts plot to misbehave, they know a fart! That's a passer-by in Northern Xinjiang, and all he thinks about all day long is to fill the holes in Northern Xinjiang and jump into the sea, will he jump into the fire pit? ”

"Jump...... Jumping into the sea? ”

Rao is Zhang Juzheng is extremely smart, and he was stunned when he heard this, so he said that Gao Gong is not normal today.

"Brother Su Qing, Chen Zhenshuo, what are you doing again?"

Gao Gong's heart and eyes are not big, he can't be called a broad-minded person, his eyes are not big, and there are not many people who can be seen by him, but there is no doubt that for Zhang Juzheng, he is both broad-minded and can look at it highly, roared and felt happy in his heart, and waved his hand: "What else, do you know that Chen Zhenshuo has saved hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver?" ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded, this is not new news, Chen Mu is rich and recognized by the cabinet. On this point, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong agreed that people who can get things done are not a problem even if they are greedy for some money, not to mention that Chen Mu just tried to find a way to give the court money while not forgetting himself.

It doesn't hurt.

"Then you know, what is he saving money for not buying land?"

Gao Gong sneered, took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Juzheng, gathered his sleeves and said angrily: "He is going to the sea to open up territory for Daming, this is a person like you!" ”

What else could be on the letter? It is a letter from Wu Dui, which is deafening to read.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, even across the sea, it is also the king's land.

How stubborn and silly a child?

But soon, Zhang Juzheng suddenly raised his head, holding the letter and looked at Gao Gong in disbelief, Gao Gong knew what he was surprised about, smiled bitterly, Shanxi Dahan raised his index finger and shook it, and said: "He said that he wanted to save one million taels of silver for the imperial court, and the southern expedition did not cost the imperial court one or two silver, and also said that sending Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan to the sea could transport back 500,000 taels a year and return to the capital in two years." ”

Naive!

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, turned his head to look at the dazzling sunlight at the end of summer outside the house, it was only 500,000 million taels, and he hoped to impress the imperial court to march south, what should he say about Chen Zhenshuo?

Chen Mu is a good way to make money, but he didn't think about the deeper things, the mobilization of at least 50,000 soldiers in the southern expedition, the transportation and transportation capacity for them, the shock of the people brought by the opening of the sea, a series of deductions and the risks that need to arise.

Is it a million taels of useless silver that can make up for it?

Gao Gong said: "He is right, the imperial court needs this money." ”

Zhang Juzheng was noncommittal, and said: "The whole world is not the king of the land is said well, he can jump into the sea if he wants to, but he can't jump with Daming." ”

"Just what I want."

Gao Gong smiled, this time, he and Zhang Juzheng reached an agreement.
