Zhang Juzheng took a look at the clerk who was shaking his head and talking about the difference between 'Lanyeji' and 'Huantouji', and had no choice but to follow Eunuch Feng into the hut.
"I just heard that Gao Huzi has gone home?" Feng Bao asked impatiently.
"Of course." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said in a low voice: "At this moment, the bullets have been sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. You can present them to the imperial audience when you get back. By the way, how is your Majesty's Holy Eucharist today?"
"It's not as comfortable as yesterday, but generally it's fine. I also played with the newly fired porcelain for a while." After Feng Bao finished speaking, he said with great expectation: "I hope this time I can have the final say! Let Gao Huzi pack up and go back to Gaojiazhuang!"
Most of the ten major crimes listed on Cao Daye's bullet came from the black materials collected by Dongchang. It wasn't that Feng Bao hated Gao Gong so much. Even if he had been staring at Mr. Gao Ge with a magnifying glass this year, he wouldn't have been able to write such a highly destructive article.
Zhang Juzheng was not as optimistic as he was. He slowly shook his head and said, "It's not entirely true to say that His Majesty didn't know anything about the things mentioned in the bullet, right?"
"Hey, that's right" Feng Bao nodded. He would always find ways to speak ill of Mr. Gaoge to the emperor in a roundabout way. As a result, he shot himself in the foot, which did not sway Gao Huzi, but made Long Qing alienate himself even more.
"So, you must say one more thing. It's best if you don't read this memorial!" Zhang Juzheng said solemnly: "Otherwise, you might get burned!"
"Hey, I remember." Feng Bao wiped his sweat. If it wasn't for Zhang Xianggong's reminder, he would have planned to complain about his beard. "It's just that if this happens, the situation will become difficult to control."
"It doesn't matter. When the emperor's decree comes out, you can ask Bugu to tell him, and he will come up with a solution." Zhang Juzheng said calmly: "In addition, these East Palace lecturers are all senior people. We should not talk in the Wenhua Palace in the future. . It was finally possible to clear up our relationship, and we can¡¯t let Mr. Gaoge doubt us anymore.¡±
"Oh, okay." Feng Bao naturally followed Xianggong Zhang's instructions, but he always felt panicked when he thought about not being able to talk to him the next day. Then he asked in a low voice: "Is Gao Beard safe and sound?"
"It's certain that he will pass this test." Zhang Juzheng put his hands in his sleeves and said with a wry smile: "He said that he would go back and wait for his fate. His disciples will definitely go to all the yamen and force all the officials to petition to retain him. Even Bu Gu has to pay the bills as soon as possible, otherwise the target of the blame will be on me."
As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Baodao and said, "Do you think the emperor will ignore the officials' attempts to stay and agree to the appointment of the old man in the high cabinet?"
"Of course not, it's more like the other way around" Feng Bao also figured it out, and sighed sadly: "Oh, what a waste of happiness."
"Don't worry, your work won't be in vain." Zhang Juzheng said quietly: "Have you ever seen quarrying? How to cut a whole hard boulder? You need to drill holes first, then wedge the nails in, and then hammer them. , suddenly all of a sudden, the whole thing cracked."
¡°What do you mean, sir, are we drilling holes and wedge nails now?¡± Feng Bao said suddenly.
"Yes, so the first thing is to be patient, and the second thing is to protect yourself." Zhang Juzheng said softly: "This way we can have the opportunity to wedge in the second and third nails"
"Understood, the first nail has been driven in. We have to take a breath and wait for the wind to pass before driving in the second nail." Eunuch Feng nodded suddenly, there was a bright light to guide the way and he was not confused.
"Not bad." Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly.
In fact, this routine is not new. This was what Xu Ge did when he fought against Yan Ge. It is natural for an apprentice to learn from his master and there is no shame in it!

Emperor Longqing's reaction was even worse than Mr. Zhang had expected. He got furious after hearing the bullet halfway and shouted on the spot: "Cao Daye is trying to trap the auxiliary ministers, so he will be demoted and transferred to another position!"
The eunuch Du Mao who read the memorial to the emperor quickly memorized it silently. After exiting the Jujing Pavilion, he did not immediately follow the emperor's oral instructions to approve the memorial, but reported it to Eunuch Feng first.
Feng Bao asked him to go down first, and then called his confidant eunuch Zhang Damou, asking him to knock on the door of Zhang Xianggong's house overnight and inform him of the emperor's oral order.
The Cabinet Minister's Zhiluthat is, the dormitory, is behind Wenyuan Pavilion. Gao Gong lived in the original small courtyard of Yan Song.
Zhang Juzheng lived in Xu Jie¡¯s original residence, which was just a small apartment and didn¡¯t even have a yard. And it's a West House. It's very uncomfortable to live in it because it's hot in summer and cold in winter.
The shabby residence of a dignified first-class official in the palace is simply unimaginable. However, it is something that officials all over the world are eager to live in.
Zhang Juzheng was not asleep yet, and was reading the memorial in his clothes. Yao Kuang sneaked in with Zhang Damou, and then he raised his head and asked: "No one saw it, right?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Dongchang is doing things." Zhang Damou smiled confidently and hurriedly told the emperor to listen to the memorial.All show, no sharpness at all.
No one expected that Cao Daye¡¯s bulletin would have such a big impact on him!
In fact, Gao Ge Lao was not too worried about the emperor's opinion. In his opinion, he has a deep relationship with Longqing and cannot be provoked.
What really hurt him were the ten major crimes listed in the bullet. Gao Gong knew very well that some of the accusations were groundless and some were exaggerated, but some of them he could not deny.
¡°For example, at the birthday party last year, for example, I swept all my political opponents into the garbage dump
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of mind when he was doing these things, when he was pointed out afterwards and compared to Yan Song, it was a huge blow to Mr. Gao Ge. He had to reflect, could he really follow the old path of Mr. Yan Ge?
He was even more frightened because he didn¡¯t know how many people in the government and the public viewed him in this way. Could it be that in the hearts of officials and people, I am not as virtuous as those around me, a wise man who has not been seen in a century?
