Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 410 Viewing Flowers in the Mist (Part [-])
This time Feng Bao came to Zhang Juzheng's University Scholars' Mansion, still accompanied by Xu Jue, but today Zhang Juzheng did not receive Feng Bao in the flower hall, but talked with Feng Mi in the study alone, while You Qi and Xu Jue stayed in the flower hall to chat.

Zhang Juzheng still looks the same as before, at least in terms of mental state, he seems to be the same as before.

But what kind of person is Feng Bao, his eyes are vicious, one can tell Zhang Juzheng's eyes are slightly sunken, and even a thin layer of powder is put on his face to cover up his unhealthy complexion.

Zhang Juzheng has always been a person who cares a lot about his appearance, so it is not surprising that he has such a cover-up behavior, but from such a behavior, it can be seen that he has been under a lot of pressure in recent days.

Of course, he was not small. Originally, he had relied on the superb means of leveraging his strength to push Chen Yiqin away, defeat Zhao Zhenji and Li Chunfang, and become the second assistant of the cabinet, close to the position of chief assistant.

But what happened next gradually exceeded his expectations, especially after Gao Yushi, who was dubbed Xiaoge Lao, returned to Beijing, the situation gradually slipped to the brink of getting out of control.

First, Yin Shidan couldn't hold back, and jumped out to confront Gao Gongfang. As a result, Chen Hong sold Yin Shidan out of nowhere, causing Yin Shidan to be kicked out as soon as he entered the cabinet.As a result, Gao Gong and him were the only two left in the cabinet. Of course, it was a big problem that no one could take advantage of him, because this left him with no room to use his various methods.

However, although something is not right at this time, he still has a way to deal with it, which is nothing more than lying in wait for changes, first pretending that everything is up to Yuanfu, and continuing to disguise himself as Gao Gong's close friend and ally, to keep his own In the second assistant position, Gao Gong is older than him anyway, and the emperor's body is not good. In the end, no matter whether Gao Gong can't handle it or the emperor can't handle it, anyway, it will be Zhang Taiyue's chance to make further progress.

However, what Zhang Juzheng never expected was that Guo Pu was willing to let go of his decades of fame and reputation, obediently obeyed Gao Gong's call, and returned to Beijing to accept his recovery!
If Guo Pu recovers, he must go directly to the cabinet, so there is nothing to say.He was admitted two subjects earlier than Gao Gong, and four subjects and 12 years earlier than Zhang Taiyue.

This man has served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials for two terms, no matter how upright he was before, and how much he valued "gentlemen rather than party", at least those two heavenly officials cannot be done for nothing, let alone the examiner who has repeatedly held talent ceremonies. made.Decades of experience put it here, the courtiers who have received his favor can line up from Yongdingmen all the way to his hometown Anyang, and he is pushed by the court, it is impossible not to pass.

What's more, Guo Pu was an assistant minister before he became an official, which means that this time must be included in the cabinet's seniority ranking.At that time, Guo Pu and Gao Gong entered the cabinet at the same time, and because Guo Pu entered the imperial examination earlier than Gao Gong, his ranking was still ahead of Gao Gong at that time.

Now Gao Gong is the chief assistant, and he is the one who recommends Guo Pu's return. Of course, Guo Pu's ranking cannot be higher than Gao Gong's, but there is no problem in "surpassing" him Zhang Taiyue: on admission, on dismissal, on admission Pavilion, Guo Pu has won all rounds, ranking ahead of you, Zhang Taiyue, a younger generation, who in the world can doubt it?
Even Zhang Juzheng himself never dared to express the resentment in his heart, and even showed his demeanor in front of others. It is my blessing to do a little assisting work under Mr. Guo and learn a lot.

God is sorry to see, every time Zhang Juzheng said these words, although he was smiling and smiling, his heart was so full that he almost bleed!
That is, Zhang Juzheng, under such circumstances, when he met Feng Bao, an ally who is truly sympathetic to each other, he could still show such a calm and composed appearance. If it were another person, he would have started crying and cursing with his nose and tears .

Don't you see, Feng Bao and Feng Dugong, who is also known for his forbearance, have been pale since he entered the gate of the University Scholars' Mansion today?I'm afraid that when she was "castrated" back then, her complexion could only be as bad as this.

There is still a gap.

However, Feng Bao himself didn't have time to reflect on his self-cultivation and the city's government. He sat there with his buttocks chattering for a long time, and suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "It's only a few days, the situation is very bad... Mr. Taiyue can Is there a theory to teach me?"

Zhang Juzheng clasped his hands in his sleeves, and said expressionlessly: "I've thought over and over again, there is something wrong with this matter."

Feng Bao focused his eyes and asked, "What's the problem?"

"It's not like Gao Gaoxuan's handwriting." Zhang Juzheng frowned, and said calmly: "Duke, you and I both know how Gao Gong is. If the cabinet dares to fight against my benefactor Mr. Huating, the fault is that the situation was too tragic later, and if we continue to fight, and even damage the emperor's reputation, I don't think he will insist on resigning and ask himself to resign."

Feng Bao nodded and asked, "So what?"

Zhang Juzheng was not in a hurry to explain, but continued to analyze: "Later, the situation in the cabinet changed, and Li Shilu and Zhao Dazhou joined forces, regardless of Enxiang's intention of recommending me when he left, and treated me as a small official in the cabinet. Being bossy and bossy, I had to try every means to get Gao Gong back, and use his strength to gain a breather. Gao Gong at this time, in fact, has not changed much from when he first entered the cabinet..."

"Oh, really?"

"Duke don't believe it?" Zhang Juzheng snorted and asked back: "Does Du Gong know that Gao Gong has only been in charge of the government for more than a year, how many officials have he dealt with?"

Feng Bao didn't count this, so he reviewed it roughly, and said with uncertainty: "I'm afraid there are twenty or thirty?"

"Twenty or thirty?" Zhang Juzheng sneered, and said, "To tell you the truth, there are 160 or nine people in total. Just for major and important cases, there are three on average in a month." See "Zhangquan Inscription Draft" by Gao Gong. ]
Feng Bao's face suddenly changed.

Seeing that Feng Bao was shocked by him, Zhang Juzheng asked the question again: "So, Gao Gong's temper has not changed at all, but whatever he insists on doing, he will definitely do it, and he will never back down."

Hearing this, Feng Bao felt his neck go cold for some reason, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet, passed through his spine and reached his forehead, and his whole body felt a little chilly.

Zhang Juzheng saw that Feng Bao flinched for a while, fearing that he would lose his courage, he stretched out his index finger, knocked on the armrest of the red sandalwood chair, and added emphatically, "But that's where the problem lies."

Feng Bao was taken aback, and asked, "Problem? Didn't he say that he has always been like this, why is there a problem again?"

Zhang Juzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "He still does not achieve his goals. There is no problem. The problem is that he is not doing things better than before. He always thinks of one step at a time. Didn't the Duke find out that he now knows how to do things step by step, There are layers of traps—Gao Gong is not a three-year-old child, and the habits he has developed over the years cannot be reversed all at once, so there must be someone among them who is doing everything possible to stabilize Gao Gong's pace and not let him go. He took the enemy lightly."

Feng Bao was terrified, the hairs all over his body stood on end, he sat up straight, and forgot to cover up his sharp voice: "Who is it?"

　Thanks to the book friend "TheHugh" for the reward, thank you!
