Zhao Zhenji would jump out and ask questions. Gao Pragmatic had already guessed this when he entered Jiyi Hall. After all, among the people in this hall, except Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, Zhao Zhenji was the least happy to see the uncle and nephew of the Gao family continue.
Be favored.
However, Zhang Juzheng's character is not the type to get angry in person. Even if he wants to take action, he will probably do it secretly and will not jump out in front of so many people. What's more, he is the kind of person who either doesn't take action or does it with one blow.
A fatal style. In his opinion, this matter may not have reached that point yet.
After all, this matter was handled pragmatically by Gao Gong. Even if he was really held accountable, Gao Gong could still argue that he didn't know about it. Judging from Long Qing's attitude towards Gao Gong, even if he took the initiative to resign, he would at best end up with nothing.
If he is allowed to resign from his position as Minister of Civil Affairs, his position as cabinet minister will definitely not be changed. This will not shake his foundation at all.
What's more, although the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong has begun to be estranged, with Chen Yiqin's appointment, the cabinet happens to be composed of Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji's faction against him and Gao Gong, with a two-to-two draw. If he really takes Gao Gong at this time,
If he got rid of it, wouldn't it lead to isolation? Then he tried every means to create conditions for the restoration of the high arch, wouldn't it be because he was full?
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng not only remained silent, but even frowned slightly. He was worried in his heart that Gao Pragmatic was not fastidious in his work. If Gao Gong was implicated, although his foundation was still there, his current position as the head of the cabinet would be greatly affected.
influence.
As for Feng Bao, he certainly hopes that Gao Pragmatic will suffer. As a minister, his attitude towards the problem is certainly different from that of Zhang Juzheng. He does not need to care about whether the cabinet is balanced. His purpose is very simple, that is, Gao Gong steps down and leaves. As long as Gao Gong leaves.
Once Gong left, he believed that with his ability, it would not be difficult to get rid of Meng Chong. When the time comes, the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies will definitely not escape his grasp.
But the problem is that since Feng Bao suffered a big loss from Gao Jingshi last time, he no longer dares to underestimate him. What's more, Gao Jingshi has successfully made Li Guifei favor him by relying on the special soap.
Concubine Li secretly gave Li Wei 3% of the profits from the capital soap - this was what was left after negotiating with the nobles at the time - so Concubine Li often heard about it from her brother Li Wenjin who came to the palace to take care of her.
All kinds of good words about Gao Pragmatism have made Feng Bao herself a little worried. In the long run, does she prefer Gao Pragmatism or herself?
Of course, Li Chunfang had reason to hope that Gao Pragmatic would make mistakes, but after all, he was a clay Buddha with no temper. When Hai Rui scolded the public for saying that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were women, Li Chunfang, as the first assistant, not only did not dare to reply, but instead took pleasure in saying so.
"Then it seems that I must be an old woman." Gao Pingjing, who was so weak-tempered, never thought that she would jump out and look for trouble. The fact was just as Gao Pingjing expected, Li Chunfang showed no reaction like an old monk in trance.
As for the three brothers Zhu Xizhong and Zhang Rong... it's such a trivial matter. What's the fuss? Should we share the money together? You know, if this matter is really revealed, can the border army smuggling matter be covered?
Although these two princes are in charge of the capital camp, they are also the governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Although the governors do not have any real power in these days, no matter how little real power they have, the local guards still have to listen to the governor's office.
If the border troops, a group of guardsmen who could rarely fight at all, were offended, what kind of governor would they be?
Zhu Xixiao has always been in agreement with his brother. In addition, the Jinyiwei has supervised the border troops for many years and has never paid attention to the smuggling of the border troops. There is always a reason. If this layer of window paper was pierced during his tenure, , who knows what will happen? As an official, one more thing is worse than one less thing, so naturally you can turn a blind eye and just let it go.
Besides, these three people have another reason in mind: the frontier army did not lack their filial piety...
After such calculations, Gao Pingshi knew of course that the only one who could jump out and cause trouble for him was Zhao Zhenji. After all, Zhao Zhenji, whether you say he has a bad temper or he puts on a name and sells himself, after all, he is also a person with his own persistence.
, not to mention that now he is in the same boat as Gao Gongzhi and is still in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If he doesn’t jump out, who will?
It's a pity that Gao Jingshi and Meng Chong had already "rehearsed" this question of his, and now they were just repeating what they just said. So the reason why Cao Gan appeared in the Anda Khan Court became dominated by Gao Jingshi
, a detailed espionage incident with the knowledge and acquiescence of the border troops and Jin Yiwei.
After hearing this, Long Qing smiled and said to Zhao Zhenji: "Well, since this matter is a counter-intentional plan jointly planned by all of you, Mr. Zhao doesn't need to worry too much. Let's continue the discussion."
But Zhao Zhenji intuitively felt that there was still a problem here, and still refused to let it go. He asked Zhu Xixiao again: "Director Zhu, do you really know about this? Are Jin Yiwei even cooperating with this?"
Zhu Xixiao smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Zhao Ge, this matter was reported to me in secret as early as... well, more than three months ago, Gao Shidu. Not only that, Gao Shidu also considered that even if
We want to take this opportunity to penetrate into Anda, but we cannot increase Anda's power significantly because of trade. Therefore, Gao Shidu suggested that most of the materials sold to Anda in Bailixia should be made of precious silk.
Other items are mainly used, and all kinds of iron items are strictly prohibited..."
"What's the evidence?" Zhao Zhenji interrupted with a gloomy look.
"There are account books as evidence." Zhu Xixiao's smile remained unchanged and he said: "Gao Shidu will record the records, values, and exchanged goods of each Bailixia shipment. Every shipment will be sent to Beizhen Fusi.
For the last report, Beizhen Fusi will also send people to check at the border. If Mr. Zhao Ge doesn’t believe it... As long as His Majesty allows it, I can immediately order someone to send the accounts."
Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate was very arrogant, the Imperial Guards were the emperor's personal soldiers and were not supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Therefore, Zhu Xixiao clearly added "As long as His Majesty allows it."
Of course His Majesty would not allow it, but he would not say it directly either. He just said expressionlessly: "Now that you have the accounts, just give them to me for review another day."
Zhao Zhenji frowned more and more, thinking, "What's wrong with you, Zhu Xixiao? Are you determined to fall in love with the Gao family?"
Zhu Xixiao may have seen the unwillingness on his face, so he couldn't help but smile again and continued: "Not only that, the materials exchanged by Gao Shidu through Cao Gan's hands are extremely beneficial to our Ming Dynasty."
Zhao Zhenji asked in a deep voice: "How can it be beneficial?"
Zhu Xixiao bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that when the late Emperor was the late emperor, I, the Ming Dynasty, showed kindness to me and asked me to open the horse market?" He said that he was "kindness", but everyone present knew that he was actually forced to do so.
Yes, so he just mentioned it and continued immediately: "But at that time, I was not willing to sell good horses to our Ming Dynasty. I could only buy some geldings every year, and the number would not exceed five hundred at most.
However, do you know how many horses Gao Shidu, this servant, has brought from Tumochuan to our border troops in Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi towns in the past six months?"
