Chapter 983: Thinking Behind Closed Doors
Song Cun and Gao Yong thought so because the people who Dongchang went to arrest were the people Jinyiwei wanted to arrest. That's why they thought that Lord Admiral was trying to avoid suspicion and ordered Ma Yongcheng to do it.
Zhang Zhijie frowned slightly, the two people arrested by Dongchang happened to be the people he heard Song Cun mention in Jinyiwei. These two people were very happy when they impeached and attacked Zhang Zhijie, but now they were arrested by Dongchang.
The question is, why did Dongchang arrest these two people? This Zhang Zhijie didn't understand, no matter what, he had just returned to Beijing, and Dongchang arrested these two people, and he would definitely take the blame.
If he knew that Song Cun and Gao Yong thought that it was he who instructed Dongchang to arrest him in order to avoid suspicion, then he would definitely scoff at it, what suspicion could he avoid? This is called yellow mud falling in the crotch of the pants, not but.
Xu Jiaying saw Zhang Zhijie frowning, and couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat, Zhang Zhijie had just returned to Beijing, and the family had just been reunited, and she really didn't want anything to happen again.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? Xu Jiaying asked.
"There is a big move in the East Factory, and tonight is really lively." Zhang Zhijie shook his head and said.
Xu Jiaying couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhijie when she heard this, and said with a smile: "What does Dongchang have to do with arresting people and us?" She was startled by Zhang Zhijie's frowning, but it turned out that Dongchang was arresting people.
Zhang Zhijie said lightly: "The people arrested in Dongchang are the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and Zhang Wei, a bachelor of Hanlin. ”
Xu Jiaying was a little puzzled at first, but with her intelligence, she immediately understood. At the beginning, these people attacked Zhang Zhijie, how could Xu Jiaying not pay attention?
The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and Zhang Wei, a bachelor of Hanlin, were the most fierce group of people at the beginning, Xu Jiaying couldn't help but persuade: "Second master, the turmoil has just passed, so let Dongchang take people, it will definitely cause the hostility of the entire civil official group!" ”
Zhang Zhijie shook his head when he heard this and said, "I didn't let Dongchang take people!" Jin Yiwei has also collected a lot of the handles of these officials, but I don't mean to liquidate them! ”
Xu Jiaying was really shocked when she heard this, and exclaimed: "Didn't the second master let Dongchang take people?!" Then why did Dongchang arrest people? What would anyone else think? ”
Zhang Zhijie smiled: "I must think that I instructed it!" ”
Xu Jiaying hurriedly said: "Then what should I do?" ”
Zhang Zhijie smiled: "What should I do?" It's okay with me! Dongchang is not Jinyiwei, and it is not under my control, besides, Ma Yongcheng always has his own reason for taking people, right? He wants to arrest the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, it is impossible not to ask the emperor! ”
Xu Jiaying could only be silent, she knew that although Zhang Zhijie said so, as long as Zhang Zhijie spoke, Ma Yongcheng would definitely not listen. But Zhang Zhijie couldn't speak, or he couldn't speak now.
Zhang Zhijie returned to Beijing and didn't care about the previous incident, others would think that he was generous. If Dongchang went to arrest people, but Zhang Zhijie stopped him, then this is not generosity! Others will think he is afraid.
After a night of nothing, Zhang Zhijie went to the Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion the next day, and returned home after a circle. After returning to Beijing, Zhang Zhijie was really low-key, he already had everything he should have, and he didn't care about the struggle for power and profit in the court, and no one could shake him.
His only interest now is to spend time with his family and children, and at the same time hope that the seeds he planted will bear fruit, and that the fleet will return next year to bring him abundant fruits.
But the officials in Beijing didn't think that Zhang Zhijie was low-key, and last night Dongchang broke into the house of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of Hanlin, and arrested the people, which has spread all over the capital today.
After Zhang Zhijie returned to Beijing, he really wouldn't give up, and even instructed Dongchang to arrest people! This Zhang Zhijie is really heavenly, thinking that he can hide from the world by instructing Dongchang to arrest people? Who in this capital doesn't know that Ma Yongcheng is Zhang Zhijie's lackey?
Since Zhang Zhijie is unwilling to give up, then they can't sit still! What do civil servants rely on? It is by two mouths and a pen. Now they can't even see Emperor Zhengde, so they can only show off their pens.
It just so happened that Zhang Zhijie had just returned to Beijing and dropped a handle, and he called the city gate open when the city gate of the capital had been closed.
This is in the pen of the civil official, that is, Zhang Zhijie forcibly broke into the city gate, oppressed the city gate guards with his power, forced them to open the city gate, was rampant and arrogant, and despised the laws of the imperial court.
Although the news of Zhang Zhijie's return to Beijing overnight has spread, no official has written to impeach him because of this matter. But after the arrest of Dongchang happened, these people were wronged for the arrested officials and impeached Ma Yongcheng, and at the same time, they also pointed the finger at Zhang Zhijie.
Because they feel that Zhang Zhijie is the mastermind behind the scenes, the original Beijing was calm, but now Zhang Zhijie has just entered Beijing and began to retaliate!
Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu of the cabinet sat silently opposite each other, they have already met with I don't know how many waves of officials today, they are all the same thing, Dongchang arrested people without authorization!
The time to come finally came, knowing that they were worried about this when Zhang Zhijie entered Beijing, but they still had a fluke mentality in their hearts, but they didn't expect it to happen in the end.
To solve this matter, it still depends on Zhang Zhijie's attitude, and it is time to talk to Zhang Zhijie. In their opinion, there is no need for this at all, although a storm broke out to impeach Zhang Zhijie. But since Zhang Zhijie insisted on going south, he should have been mentally prepared for this, and these impeachments did not have any impact on Zhang Zhijie.
Now that the imperial court has finally calmed down, if Zhang Zhijie still holds on to the original turmoil, he will lose his temperament and reason. After all, Zhang Zhijie provoked a storm again, and he did not get any benefits at all, but completely broke with the civil and official system. So that's not wise.
Even Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu thought that Zhang Zhijie instructed Dongchang to arrest people, and their first thought was not to find Emperor Zhengde, but to find Zhang Zhijie to persuade them.
But they were a little regretful that Zhang Zhijie did not leave the house, which made their plan to meet Zhang Zhijie and persuade them to fail.
Originally, Zhang Zhijie didn't want to move after returning to Beijing, but now that so many people are impeaching him, Zhang Zhijie thought about it, yes, don't go anywhere, let's stay in the house and think about it behind closed doors!
After all, strictly speaking, those civil officials were right to impeach him, he had nothing urgent, and it was indeed inappropriate to call the city gate open when the city gate was closed! Of course, now that the peace has been going on for a long time, this kind of thing can be done with one eye and one eye closed.
So Zhang Zhijie nested in the Hou Mansion with peace of mind and didn't go out, and he didn't defend himself, just stayed at home, declared to the outside world, and thought about it behind closed doors. No matter what others think, anyway, Mrs. and Xu Jiaying are happy to see it, and the impeachment is just a trivial matter, so Zhang Zhijie stayed at home and didn't go out, but they were happy.
