Feng Bao's visit to Zhang Juzheng did not achieve the desired results. Zhang Juzheng was polite and respectful to him, but he did not show any intention of working together to deal with Gao Gong. This made Feng Bao somewhat incomprehensible, so when he returned to the palace,
On the way, Feng Bao kept frowning deeply.
"Xu Jue, what do you think is going on with this Zhang Juzheng?" Feng Bao suddenly turned to Xu Jue and asked: "It stands to reason that Xu Jie's kindness to his disciple is really not small. He went straight from the Hanlin Academy to the Imperial Academy.
He was promoted to the cabinet and rose to heaven in one step! Didn't he feel the slightest gratitude to Xu Jie for his kindness? Seeing that Xu Jie was treated like this, he still refused to break with Gao Gong, so he was not afraid of being scolded by the world's scholars.
ungrateful?"
Xu Jue answered cautiously: "Mr. Zhang Ge may think that Hai Rui is Hai Rui and Gao Gong is Gao Gong. No one knows about Hai Rui yet. He has a brain defect. Gao Gong probably can't persuade him to do what he wants to do."
live……"
"Is that what I mean?" Feng Baowei said angrily: "It's obvious that Gao Huzi is deliberately disgusting Xu Jie. This Hai Rui was recommended by you, Mr. Xu Ge, to be the governor of Yingtian back then. It's none of my business, Mr. Gao.
When Hai Gangfeng went to take office, I, Gao Gong, was still staying in my hometown in Xinzheng! But this was just enough to deceive a child. Now that Hai Rui has made such a big fuss, memorials to impeach him are coming one after another every day.
It was someone else. With Gao Huzi's temperament, he had probably been dismissed directly. Even if he was not dismissed from office, he should at least be transferred, right? But what did Gao Gong do? Apart from saying that Hai Rui was a noble character, he only said
He said he had nothing to do with it!"
Feng Bao sneered and said: "It has nothing to do with it? Yes, it has nothing to do with it. It's all Xu Jie's fault! But no one with a discerning eye can see that as long as Gao Gong is willing, the Songjiang land withdrawal case can be interrupted and withdrawn at any time!
Wouldn't it be fine if Hai Rui masturbated? He is a senior official in the Imperial Palace and is also a heavenly official. With just one vote, Hai Rui will lose his official position! Our family doesn't believe it. Long Live Grandpa will treat this man who made his fortune by scolding his father.
How much affection does Hai Gangfeng have, how can he be reluctant to let go of him! If Zhang Juzheng doesn’t stand up at this time, I think, in the final analysis, he is still afraid of conflict with Gao Gongqi, so he would not hesitate to sell his old favor for this!"
Xu Jue smiled bitterly and said, "But since Mr. Zhang Ge refuses, we don't have any good solution."
Feng Bao took a deep breath and said coldly: "Then let's just wait and see. I want to see if Zhang Taiyue can still roam freely after Zhao Dazhou, Li Shilu and Chen Songgu are all driven away by Gao Gong.
Oh, sit tight on the Diaoyutai."
While Feng Bao was losing his temper, Gao Gong was putting down the letter in his hand in his study room.
The letter was from Gao Pragmatic, and there were two letters in total. Gao Gong held the two letters in his left and right hands, looked at them from left to right, and then started to think.
Not far in front of Gao Gong, there is a middle-aged man in his forties sitting. Although this man is no longer young, he has a handsome appearance and a long beard that reaches his chest. If it were not for the slightly weathered color on his sideburns, he could be a passerby.
It is known as "beautiful face".
This person is not an outsider, but Wu Dui and Wu Junze, the student who was unlucky with Gao Gong two years ago.
He is currently serving as the deputy envoy of military preparation in Jizhou. According to common sense, he should not appear in the capital, but now he is sitting in front of Gao Gong.
Of course Wu Dui was not neglecting his duties. He came to Beijing at this moment on orders. He was ordered by the Ministry of War to report on the situation of newly trained soldiers and horses on Yongping Road - Wu Dui's job was called "Deputy Envoy for Rectification of Yongping Road, Tuntian, Water Conservancy and Coastal Defense."
", because it was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Ji Liao, he was generally called the Deputy Envoy of Jizhou Military Preparation.
Wu Dui knew that Zhang Juzheng was currently in charge of the Ministry of War in the cabinet. The so-called reporting work he was summoned to Beijing was just for show. In fact, Zhang Juzheng's original intention was to give him a chance to meet Gao Gong.
Of course, Zhang Juzheng was not free to please Gao Gong, he did this for a purpose. He was quite unhappy that Zhao Zhenji was looking for trouble this time and proposed the restructuring of the Beijing camp, but similar to Gao Gong's idea, he did not intend to directly marry him
Xiu Xiu went to confront Zhao Zhenji, but he hoped that the Minister of War would come forward first, while he would work hard from behind.
However, both Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng actually estimated in their hearts that the Ministry of War might not be able to defeat Zhao Zhenji in the end - not only his seniority, he had not been in the cabinet for a long time, but he finally went out to do something personally. It is unlikely that the emperor would not give him face, so the Ministry of War
They will most likely have to make sacrifices. Huo Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, is not the same person as Zhao Zhenji, and they have always been a bit difficult to deal with. This time, Huo Ji will most likely have to stand up. As a result, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are both
Not optimistic.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng raised it with Gao Gong in private, asking whether Tan Lun could be considered for the post of Minister of War if Huo Ji resigned. Gao Gong did not express his position at the time, only saying that based on his qualifications and achievements, Tan Lun
It can be considered, but the position of Shangshu is quite important. There are people who can compare with Tan Lun among the governors of Jiubian, so it needs to be considered.
Gao Gong's suggestions to Zhang Juzheng were usually very face-saving. The reason why he didn't agree immediately this time was actually not because the Minister of War was really that important, but because Gao Jingming happened to give him a message before leaving Beijing.
He made a conversation and talked about the meaning expressed by his uncle at Zhang Siwei’s house that day.
Gao Gong thinks that idea is not bad - Wang Chonggu has a close relationship with Yang Bo, and Yang Bo has a very good relationship with Gao Gong. If Wang Chonggu is transferred to the Ministry of War, he must be his fellow traveler. But one thing must be clear, that is Governor Xuanda
The position must belong to one's own people, and one must be one's own people who are truly capable and knowledgeable about border affairs.
Xuanda is the gateway to the capital. Ma Fang, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and Zhao Ke, the commander-in-chief of Datong, are all people who listen to Gao Gong's greetings honestly. If suddenly there is someone who is not on good terms with Gao Gong or does not understand border affairs.
Governor, then they will suffer the consequences.
However, although Huo Ji is dissatisfied with Zhao Zhenji at the moment, after all, it has not reached the worst point yet, so Gao Gong still has time to think about it slowly and not be too anxious.
After Wu Dui arrived at Gao Gong's house, he first talked about official business and told Gao Gong about Qi Jiguang's military training. Then he said in a formal manner that Tan Lun was familiar with military affairs and knew how to be an official.
During the time that I was under his command, my life was not too difficult.
"Junze, what is Qi Yuanjing's ability in military training? You should have some understanding?" Gao Gong finally put down the two letters in his hand and turned around to ask.
Wu Dui said: "The orders are followed and the orders are prohibited. The orders are consistent."
Gao Gong said: "You are talking about strict military orders. What about other aspects?"
Wu Dui shook his head and said: "Teacher, please forgive me, these soldiers are just used for practice. The students have not seen what they look like in battle with their own eyes, so I really don't dare to draw conclusions easily. But the students think that as far as the frontier soldiers that the students have seen with their own eyes, there are no
No one can do a better job than Qi Yuanjing in giving strict orders."
"Uncle, you have recruited a good talent." Gao Gong smiled and was about to speak again when he was suddenly interrupted by the steward pushing the door open.
The steward held a letter in his hand and said: "Master, Mr. Taiyue sent someone to deliver a letter. According to the master's habit, I didn't dare to neglect, so I sent it immediately."
Gao Gong looked at the hourglass and wondered: "What happened? He sent me a letter so late. I didn't see him at the cabinet in the morning. He has something urgent to tell me." But he still waved and asked the steward to hand it over.
.
When I took out the letter, the content was quite brief, but Gao Gong glanced at it a few times and frowned.
Wu Dui was Gao Gong's real close confidant, so he was not surprised when he saw this situation and asked: "Teacher, what did Mr. Zhang Ge say?"
Gao Gong put down the letter with a slightly gloomy look on his face: "Uncle also came to beg me to let me take charge of Hai Rui, and expressed the hope that Hai Rui could at least be transferred and leave Yingtian."
