Chapter 23 The twenty-second round of cooking tea is a real celebrity.Pointing mazes are fake patients

After staying in Tianshou Mountain for two nights, Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing on the third day. Due to the hot weather on the way, Zhang Juzheng suffered from heatstroke.Vomiting and diarrhea, had to lie at home to recuperate.In fact, his illness is not that serious, because the battle between Gao Gong and Feng Bao has reached a fever pitch right now, and he wants to avoid it, so he says he won't be ill.He said it was a thank you, but he just turned away people he didn't want to see. If a confidant official came to report the situation and report the current situation, he would make an appointment to see him as usual.

Let's say that at the end of the morning, Zhang Juzheng was wearing a maroon silk silk square scarf gown for the summer at home, lying on a bamboo recliner in the study, reading a volume of idle books.This idle book is "Qingbo Magazine" written by Zhou Hui of the Song Dynasty.Although Zhou Hui was born in the Zanying family, he has never been an official in his life, but he has read a lot of books and traveled to many places. He is a well-known scholar in Jiangyou.In his later years, he lived under Qingbo's door in Hangzhou and wrote the twelve-volume "Qingbo Magazine".The set of books that Zhang Juzheng is holding is a new engraved edition of Zhulinfang, one of the four major book engraving workshops in Nanjing, with exquisite binding and excellent printing.This set of books was sent by his close friend, Yin Zhang Jiayin of Ying Tianfu, who was recently dismissed by Gao Gong because of his handling of the Anqing rebel incident.Zhang Juzheng has always had deep sympathy for Zhang Jiayin's blow, but he has no choice but to send letters to comfort him.Seeing this letter sent by the old man is idle now, I feel even more uncomfortable.He knew that Zhang Jiayin was using this gift to express his heart: from now on, he never wanted to be a public servant, and only wanted to entertain himself with poetry and wine, wander in the forest, and write some leisure books such as notes.

After flipping through more than a dozen pages, You Qi came over to report when he was falling asleep, "My lord, the bamboo stick has been installed." Oh, go check it out. Zhang Juzheng rubbed his bleary eyes, followed You Qi out of the study, walked through the flower hall to the garden.Zhang Xueshi's mansion has seven levels once it enters, the first level is the gate house, passing through the gate tower is followed by the sedan hall, the hall, and the women's hall. Behind the women's hall is a garden covering about five mu of land.Then there is the upper room with three entrances, which form two courtyards, and then there is another tall and grand courtyard connected by arcades.Separated by the garden, the first half of the Grand Scholars' Mansion is a place for official receptions and banquets, and the second half is where the family members live.There are two study rooms in the University Scholars Mansion, one is on the side of the living room, with three entrances and five couplets, it is a large study room.The other is in the courtyard, connected with his bedroom, is a small study.

But it was said that Zhang Juzheng came out of the big study and went to the garden for the first time, but he felt the sun was shining brightly. Fortunately, the flowers and trees were scattered and shaded the ground, so there was no heat wave.You Qi led him to the right corner of the garden under the gable. Outside the gable is the corridor downstairs in the East Wing. There is a grape trellis with luxuriant vines.There is a stone table and four stone benches on the brick floor under the shelf, which are occasional resting places when visiting the garden.Now leaning against the corner of the wall, a wooden barrel is suspended on a wooden frame. There is a sand filter device at the bottom of the wooden barrel. Spread an inch of thick silver-white fine sand on a large bamboo pan, and these crystal clear water drops filtered by the sand will drip into a blue-and-white porcelain basin with a white background that is clean and shiny.

What exactly this device is used for needs to be introduced: around April, Yin Zhengmao, who was still serving as the governor of Jiangxi Province, and the official who entrusted him with escorting the tribute to Beijing, brought Zhang Juzheng a can of Miyunlong tea.This Miyun Long tea is produced in a land of about 20 to 30 mu in Jiaokeng, 35 miles west of Nankang County, Jiangxi Province.Since Song Yuanfeng listed this tea as an exclusive drink for the inner court, this tea has been a royal tribute for hundreds of years, and its reputation has not faded.This tea is made from new neem buds of tea trees around Qingming every year, and made into fine small balls of tea cakes, which are as milky as jade and look like a dried chrysanthemum.Due to the small area of ​​production, the annual output is no more than 100 catties, and the best top-quality Jade Cloud Dragon is only about 5 catties, which has to be tributed to the inner government, making it difficult for foreign ministers to taste it.This year's rain is suitable, and Qingming Miyunlong tea produced two catties more.Yin Zhengmao, who was in charge of the matter, took out a can from it and gave it to Zhang Juzheng.Zhang Juzheng has always been very particular about clothing and diet.After receiving the Miyun Long tea, he immediately boiled a pot of water, drained off the tea milk, and sipped the green tea soup carefully. He felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, but after a long time it turned back to sweetness, but the taste of the tea was ordinary.Later, I asked about the secretary in the imperial tea room who specially made tea for the emperor, and found out that the emperor used the spring water transported from Yuquan Mountain to drink this tea.Tea water Tea water, one is tea, and the other is water. If there is good tea but no good water, the tea soup brewed must not be authentic.Knowing this mystery, Zhang Juzheng still sealed the tin can containing the Miyun dragon, and waited for the opportunity to get the spring water from Yuquan Mountain to taste it. He returned to Tianshou Mountain to inspect the tomb of Emperor Daxing, but he saw Maolin In the depths of the chaotic cliffs, the spring water flowing out of the rock crevices is extraordinarily clear, and it is very sweet to drink with a handful.So I asked the school to find a few big tanks filled with spring water and bring them back.On the night when I got home, I ordered someone to boil a pot of spring water from Tianshou Mountain to make Miyunlong, and taste it with my wife.Still has a bit of a foul smell.The lady said disappointedly: This tea has such a great reputation, why does it taste so ordinary.Zhang Juzheng replied: Miyun Long is the best tea, there is no doubt about it.Why do we brew it twice, but there is no taste.It seems that there is still no way to make tea. Perhaps the spring water of Tianshou Mountain is really not as good as that of Yuquan Mountain.After hearing this, You Qi, who was accompanying him at the side, replied, "My lord, in my opinion, the spring water in Tianshou Mountain must be better than that in Yuquan. Only the top of the big can.The villain has seen that those large pots are all new, and the fire in the kiln has not yet exhausted. No matter how good the spring water is contained in it, it will inevitably be rustic.Well, that makes sense.Zhang Juzheng nodded frequently, and ordered people to pour out the few pots of spring water.You Qi hurriedly interjected again: "My lord, when I read idle books, I remember that the ancients had a method to remove turbidity from spring water. You only need to set up a bamboo sieve and filter it with sand, and the spring water will return to sweetness."After Zhang Juzheng listened, he ordered You Qi to do the same tomorrow.

Now standing beside the bamboo pan, Zhang Juzheng bowed to look at the spring water dripping into the blue and white porcelain basin, his tense face relaxed slightly.At this time, there happened to be two colorful butterflies chasing and flying into the grape trellis. A maid who had been waiting by the bamboo stalk to prevent the flying insects from falling into the pot wanted to drive her away with a fan. Zhang Juzheng stopped her and said, "The colorful butterflies are not dirty things." , let it fly.Then he said to You Qi: I think the water in this porcelain basin is enough for a pot, you order someone to boil it and make another pot of Miyunlong.Remember to use pine charcoal to boil water.The pine charcoal is warm and the fire is slow, and the spring water can be boiled thoroughly.You Qi promised to leave, and Zhang Juzheng walked alone in the garden.

This garden in Zhang Dashi's mansion is quite famous among the scholars in the capital.It's because the former owner of the scholar's mansion, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who returned to his hometown in Suzhou, was himself a master of gardening.The five-acre garden is not that big, but the old servant made it impossible to swim through several towers, and a stream of water was intertwined in chaos.Crossing the water along the corridor, one step at a time, one scene at a time;There are several rockeries in the garden, the trees are clever, and they look dangerous.The accumulation of fist stones is a mountain, and the brine and iron filings as cement are all hidden. This natural Supai stone stacking technique is really amazing.

Besides, in the middle of this garden is a lotus pond about an acre in size. At the entrance is a cluster of rockery. First enter the cave and then walk along the stone steps in the mountain. There is a zigzag wooden bridge that leads to the resplendent hexagonal pavilion in the center of the lotus pond.On the pillars on both sides of the entrance of the pavilion, there is a pair of couplets written on the blackboard: Shuang borrows the autumn wind and the moon, moves to watch the flowing water and quietly watches the mountains.This is the handwriting of Xu Jie, Gao Gong's former Chief Assistant.Zhang Juzheng felt that the artistic conception of this couplet was very good, and Xu Jie was his mentor, so it was not easy to change it.The original owner named the pavilion Yishuang Pavilion. After Zhang Juzheng moved in, he changed its name to Xuehe Pavilion.It means that both summer, lotus and winter snow can be enjoyed here.When he is interested, he will invite two or three friends to set up some wine and vegetables in the pavilion on a moonlit night, pass the cups around, appreciate flowers and write poems, and enjoy the fun of idle literati.

Before Zhang Juzheng came to the pavilion this time, his book boy had already arrived and brought a wicker chair.Zhang Juzheng sat on it, and was about to order the book boy to bring the set of "Qingbo Magazine" here to read, when he suddenly heard noises coming from the living room in front. Who is here?Zhang Juzheng frowned and asked the book boy. The book boy was also at a loss, so he could only straighten his neck and look forward.A family member ran over quickly and shouted to the pavilion on the bank of the lotus pond: I want to report to the master, Lord Xuncheng Censor Wang asked to see him, and also sent him a sika deer that was bigger than a pony.

Jiedong, why did you send a deer here? He ordered people to call Wang Zhuan to sit down in the pavilion, Zhang Juzheng asked in puzzlement.Wang Zhuan was wearing a Xiabu official uniform, and he was steaming all over his body.He was about forty years old, fair and clean, with a narrow forehead, a knife-shaped face, and a pair of slightly yellow eyeballs in the shallow eye sockets that were always rolling around.Seeing Zhang Juzheng questioning him now, he put away the shaking black bone fan, and said: "I came to visit yesterday, and I heard from the auxiliary station that my legs are weak and my complexion is not very good."The humble staff thought it was because the auxiliary stage was worried about state affairs some time ago, overworked, and the body was hurt, and heat stroke was just an inducement.I asked Shen Langzhong from Jingdong Pharmacy, this man is very skilled in medicine, and a group of imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital would go to him for consultation if they encountered any difficult and miscellaneous diseases.Shen Langzhong said that when a person reaches the year of destiny, the innate energy is almost exhausted, so that the kidney bank is exhausted.At this time, if you don't pay attention to the maintenance of the day after tomorrow, all kinds of diseases will take advantage of it.The maintenance during this period should be based on filling the essence and strengthening the essence.Dr. Shen also said that fresh deer blood has the most nourishing effect.So Beizhi asked someone to buy a two-year-old buck.

Wang Zhuan always talked a lot, and when others said one sentence, he would say ten sentences.Zhang Juzheng criticized him for this problem many times, but he just couldn't change it.But today is a small talk, Zhang Juzheng didn't care about it, he listened patiently to the end of his ramblings, and said with a smile: You are a dignified fourth-rank censor who patrols the city, leading a deer to swagger through the market, how decent it is. Wang Zhuan winked and said with a wink, "Because of this, I asked my subordinates to lead the deer around the street. I came by another road in a sedan chair, and happened to meet me at the entrance of the alley."This deer is full of blood, and cutting a bowl of blood a day will not hurt it.Shen Langzhong instructed that the deer blood should be cut and drunk immediately for the most curative effect.Therefore, the deer can only be brought to the husband's house.Cutting deer blood is also particular, and it is not a job that just anyone can do.I brought the deer cutter, helper, do you want him to cut the blood now, and you can drink a bowl while it's hot? Let's not drink today, Zhang Juzheng shrugged his nose and smelled the lotus fragrance sent by Qingfeng, and said comfortably, later, I invite you to drink Jiaokeng Miyunlong. Miyun Dragon?Wang Zhuan was surprised, he had worked in Beijing for a long time, of course he knew the origin and value of this tea, he couldn't help but licked his lips with his tongue, and asked mysteriously, was it given to Mr. by the emperor? Zhang Juzheng was noncommittal, and turned his head to look at the bamboo sticks under the grape trellis over the lotus pond.Then he asked Wang Zhuan: Do you have any news about what I asked you to inquire about? Yesterday when Zhang Juzheng just came back from Tianshou Mountain, Wang Zhuan came to visit him. Zhang Juzheng was thinking about He Xinyin who suddenly appeared in Tianshou Mountain.So I asked Wang Zhuan to inquire: Is this He Xinyin still in Beijing? If he is in Beijing, what is he doing?After Wang Zhuan received the secret instruction, he immediately asked his subordinates to inquire about it.I came to the scholar's mansion today to report some news I found.It was just because he had brought a deer, so he put the business aside. Seeing that Zhang Juzheng asked about it, he quickly replied: Back to Futai, this He Xinyin is still in Beijing. ah, where? I live in the Jiangxi Guild Hall on Gongyuan Street. What does he live and do there? What to do, bragging.Wang Zhuan smiled contemptuously, shook his head and said, Futai, this He Xinyin is a lunatic. Why do you think so? This person admired Wang Yangming's theory and advocated the unity of all things. He actually set up a gathering hall in his hometown in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, and managed the government of the clan.Not only was the whole family divided into rich and poor, but even the marriage of their children was decided by him. Later, the county officials came to the village where he lived to urge him to pay taxes.Later, he was released from prison only after the local gentry came forward to guarantee him.As a result, he couldn't stay in his hometown anymore, so he traveled around the world and gave lectures everywhere.It is strange to say that there are so many scholars in the world who worship his theory and follow him.He is currently living in the Jiangxi Guild Hall. Every day, there is like a temple fair, and many young scholars go to pay homage to him. As he was talking, Wang Zhuan stopped talking, and he found that the faint smile on Zhang Juzheng's face suddenly disappeared completely.Only then did he suddenly remember that Zhang Juzheng once said that He Xinyin was his old friend.Wang Zhuan couldn't help regretting that he got carried away for a while and forgot the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and He Xinyin.As soon as he turned his head, the tone of the conversation immediately changed: the assistant station, what the officials said was all the street talk heard by the people below, and it was not the humble official's own opinion. What do you personally think?Zhang Juzheng asked a question. Wang Zhuan thought it over, and replied tactfully: This Mr. He is not so much a lunatic as he is a madman. Li Taibai has a poem that I am a madman of Chu. matter, so he is a madman. Are you complimenting or belittling? It is neither a compliment nor a derogation, just a factual comment.Wang Zhuan said something ambiguous, thought for a while, and then said, this He Xinyin, besides talking about learning, also likes to comment on government affairs. Did he comment on me? I heard from the auxiliary station yesterday that I had acquainted with He Xinyin when I went to Beijing for the exam for many years.But He Xinyin himself didn't mention a word about this relationship, he just said that Futai is a man who is full of knowledge and efforts to turn the tide, and he has the order of the prime minister. These are the words of a lunatic, not to be believed.Zhang Juzheng suddenly raised his voice, and said seriously, Jiedong, you have to say hello to He Xinyin, don't let him talk nonsense. After receiving this instruction, Wang Zhuan knew in his heart that Zhang Juzheng didn't like He Xinyin who was acquainted with him, so he spoke boldly, and immediately flattered him and said: "There is an auxiliary station, and the humble job knows how to do it. Simply, I ordered my subordinates to find someone." For the first time, drive this lunatic out of Beijing. There is no need to do this, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, and said in a deep thought, although He Xinyin and I have no acquaintances of eight worships, after all, we also have a relationship of acquaintance.If I do this, won't the students all over the world laugh at me, Zhang Juzheng, for being unfeeling and unjust?However, at a time when the political situation is confusing and uncertain, He Xinyin is really not suitable to stay in Beijing.How about this, later I will ask You Qi to take a hundred taels of silver, and you will give it to He Xinyin on my behalf, which is regarded as Sichuan capital to support him, and persuade him to leave the capital with good words. What if Mr. He refuses to leave? Could it be that Jiedong, a majestic patrolling city censor, can't even do this little thing properly? Zhang Juzheng asked such a rhetorical question, which made Wang Zhuan look embarrassed, he laughed dryly, and said: Although He Xinyin has no fame, he is a figure admired by all the students in the world. Zhang Juzheng nodded, and after a long while, he said slowly: You send him a few words, just say that I said it, if you want a heron to enter the white clouds, you have to leave the capital. Wang Zhuan memorized it twice, and asked puzzledly: "Assistant Taiwan, excuse me for taking the liberty of being humble, what's the meaning of these two jingles?" Don't worry about this much, just pass it on. yes. Wang Zhuan was confused but didn't dare to ask any more questions, and was about to get up to leave when he saw You Qi carrying a pot of boiling water, followed by a waitress about fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a tea box to the outside of the Liujiao Pavilion . Is the water ready?Zhang Juzheng asked. Yes, the tea sets are also brought.You Qi answered. Let's brew here, Zhang Juzheng pointed to the carved low wooden table in the hexagonal pavilion, and then said to Wang Zhuan, Jiedong, drink a cup of Miyunlong before leaving. While speaking, the maid had entered the pavilion to open the tea box, and took out a tea set, refreshments and the Miyunlong tea in an exquisite tin can.You Qi personally handles the brewing, ordering soup, dividing the milk, refilling the water, warming the cup, and serving the tea, all of which are done meticulously and conscientiously.The tea was poured, and there were half cups of green tea soup in each of the two white pear cups.At this moment, You Qi took a step back and stood up. The maid stepped forward lightly, squatted down with a blessing, and said softly: Master, please have some tea. Zhang Juzheng, who had been paying close attention to the whole brewing process, stretched out his hand to invite Wang Zhuan, then picked up a pear flower cup, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it, then turned around and said to You Qi who was standing behind him: The scent is much more elegant. You Qi lowered his hand and said respectfully, "Master, please try the tea soup again." Zhang Juzheng took a small sip, moistened it in his mouth for a while, then swallowed it slowly, with a smile on his face, and said: "After the spring water is filtered, it is really sweet. This should be the taste of Miyunlong. Jiedong, what do you think?" ? Wang Zhuan had already tasted the second cup. He smacked his lips and echoed, "This tea is soft and soft in the mouth, and when swallowed, there is a refreshing aroma floating up. It is the best tribute tea for hundreds of years. Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved. Good tea also needs good water. As Zhang Juzheng spoke, he recounted the origin of the spring water. Wang Zhuan listened, thinking in his heart: the vice-minister in front of him is really strict with matters, ranging from government affairs to tea tasting. serious.After thinking about it like this, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly put down the teacup, and said: Oh, I almost forgot a big thing. What's the matter?Zhang Juzheng asked. Before the humble official came here, the Ministry of Criminal Justice sent a message to my yamen, asking me to go to Dongchang to negotiate with the member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wai Lang, and hand over the demon king Jiusi to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for custody.I would like to ask Taifu for instructions, how should this matter be handled? Zhang Juzheng didn't answer right away, but ordered You Qi to take the maid to the backyard to make Miyunlong tea for his wife. After watching the two of them walk across the winding wooden bridge and landed on the shore, Zhang Juzheng said: "Last time you and Qin Yongxi and Qin Yongxi went to Wang Zhenren's mansion to fight to catch the demons, but they were all in vain, and Feng Bao's Dongchang took the lead.It must be Elder Gao Ge's idea to let the two of you go to Dongchang to ask for someone again this time. I thought so too, Wang Zhuan moved his chair towards Zhang Juzheng, and said in a low voice, "The Three Judges arrested Wang Jiusi, and I, the City Censor, can help or not.Now that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has transferred the text of the Eight Classics and asked me to participate, this is the first time.Everyone outside knows about my relationship with Futai. Mr. Gao Ge did this because he wanted to drag Futai into the battle between him and Eunuch Feng.After thinking about it, I will go back to the yamen and find a reason to prevaricate, so I won't go to Dongchang with Qin Yongxi to embarrass me. Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, and replied: Even if you go, you may not be able to get someone out. Wang Zhuan didn't know the details, so he still said worriedly, "I heard that the Ministry of Punishment's note, the emperor has already sent it to the cabinet for drafting." I know this, Zhang Juzheng glanced at Wang Zhuan, and said, the cabinet drafts a bill, the emperor can approve it or not. Wang Zhuan was taken aback, and said suspiciously, the emperor had just approved Gao Ge's "Chen Wu Shi Shu" and agreed to approve Zhu according to the vote, so it must not be changed so quickly. If the court ticket is not satisfactory, it can be returned and redrawn. Zhang Juzheng's tone of answer was very casual. Wang Zhuan was originally a character who was good at observing words and expressions. He realized something from Zhang Juzheng's casualness. I just came over from the Sixth Section Corridor. Today, the Sixth Section handed in three manuscripts to impeach Feng Bao through the Huangji Gate. The courage of these young speech officials is really commendable, fearing that the papers would not be handed in, Qi Qier ran outside the gate of Huangji and beat the Dengwen drum fiercely, it is said that the emperor was alarmed. Does the auxiliary station know? After breakfast, Yao Kuang came to deliver the newspaper to the mansion, and told me about the important event that happened today. It seems that this time Gao Gong and Feng Bao either died or the net was broken.Master Futai just sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight. Zhang Juzheng remained calm, thought for a while, and said solemnly: You go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice now, and together with Qin Yongxi, you go to Dongchang to ask for someone. still go?Wang Zhuan asked puzzledly. Go, this cutscene must go.Zhang Juzheng stared at Wang Zhuan, and said without taking his eyes off, but, I guess, this Wang Jiusi is 80% dead, even if he is not dead, he will not live for three days. oh?Wang Zhuan was shocked, how could he die? It is necessary to satisfy the imperial concubine and concubine, but not hand over the person to the Sanfa Division. Jiedong, if you were Mr. Feng, what would you do? Wang Zhuan came to his senses after Zhang Juzheng made such a gesture, and said: Mr. Feng has gone through three dynasties, and he has newly ascended the position of Si Li's palm seal. I am afraid that this kind of thunderbolt method will not be lacking. As soon as Wang Zhuan left, Xu Jue hurried to Zhang Xueshi's mansion like a law.He specially sent Cheng Wen, Luo Zun and Lu Shude three memorials to impeach Feng Bao for Zhang Juzheng to read.Among the three memorials, Cheng Wen's was the most important, with more than two thousand words, and listed Feng Bao's ten crimes in total.The first one is that Feng Bao made obscenity instruments on a daily basis to destabilize the sacred heart, and privately imported evil and dry medicines to damage the sacred body.The first emperor died because of illness; the second article exposed Feng Bao's coercive edict, falsely preaching the imperial decree and stealing the post of eunuch in charge of the official seal; Feng Bao ascended directly to the throne and stood with the emperor, and was worshiped by civil and military officials. Although Wang Mang and Cao Cao did not dare to do it, there are still private villas, and when buying land, all valuable materials are taken from the imperial prison, the official prison and the supply warehouse.Zhai Tingyu, the eunuch in charge, seldom disobeyed, and Chen Yingfeng, who accompanied the school, Chen Yingfeng, etc., gave Tingyule a daughter, and then Tingyu died, etc. They all accused Feng Bao of consuming the country and being unkind, stealing famous treasures, corrupting the law, and neglecting human life.None of these are sins that cannot be pardoned and must be punished.Finally, Cheng Wen wrote: The first emperor and the emperor came to the top, but Bao still dared to do so, and the situation is in the year of His Majesty.Fortunately, if you steal the palm print, the tiger will add its wings, and it will be a misfortune.If it is not as early as this morning, in the future, His Majesty will be bullied by him, His Majesty's government orders will be corrupted and he will not be free.When it comes to fruition, it will inevitably endanger the country, how can your majesty control it?At the beginning of Liu Jin's use of things, the evil had not yet been realized, and everyone knew that he would be wrong.Emperor Wu didn't believe in the impeachment of Jiuqing, Kedao, and Zhang, and it caused a big quarrel, which endangered the country. Fang was shocked and punished him, and the world began to be safe.However, Emperor Wu was already ten or five years old at that time, and he still had such a conspiracy. Besides, when His Majesty was ten years old, he was more witty than Liu Jin, so he would not be chilled by it.The emperor Fu Qi accepted his post and wished, ordered the three jurisprudence officials to ask Feng Bao urgently, and issued a canonical punishment.If there is a coincidence and heresy, the song is a savior, and I hope the sage will see it clearly.It can not only eliminate the evil on the side of the king, but also serve as a warning for future generations.The country is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate.The grades are too high to be filled with fervor and supplication. Luo Zun’s memorial also mentioned two things. The first one was about Feng Bao’s standing on the throne, so that the civil and military officials didn’t know whether they were worshiping the emperor or Feng Bao; the second one was based on information provided by Cheng Wen. He said that Feng Bao lived in Mengchong for ten stones per month, and ten people per year were abusing the ancestral system, acting as a blessing in private, betraying the kindness of the former emperor, and flirting with the emperor's law.In the end, it was Fu Wang's general Feng Baofu's judicial officer, who was charged with the crime of arrogance, and should not be tolerated.There is nothing new in Lu Shude's memorandum. It is nothing more than a detailed analysis of Feng Baoli's position on the throne, and then accuses Feng Bao of being ambiguous and unknown. If this person does not go, he will be prevented from staying The disadvantages are unavoidable. Zhang Juzheng, who was still sitting in the Xuehe Pavilion, tasting tea and admiring the lotus, after reading these three memorials, knew that the situation was grim.In order to bring down Feng Bao, Gao Gong really made a big effort.First of all, "Chen Wushishu" was published to take the power back to the cabinet, and this step was a victory.The second step is to go to the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites for two public complaints, the purpose of which is to please Concubine Li Gui; Asking for bribes aroused Li Guifei's anger again.The handbook was transferred from the Secretary of General Administration to the inner palace, but there was no response. Gao Gong believed that Feng Bao was obstructive, but it could not be ruled out that Concubine Li Gui was in an indestructible conflict between the two, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot and mobilize the six subjects Even though Feng Bao is a veteran of the three dynasties, Feng Bao must be difficult to parry against the common enemy of all the speech officials in the world.According to the usual practice, the memorials given by foreign ministers to the emperor must never be taken out of the palace without permission.Now that Feng Bao is willing to take great risks to let Xu Jue secretly take out these three memorials for him to read, one can imagine the anxiety of the new inner minister. Have the imperial concubine and the emperor read these three memorials?Zhang Juzheng asked. Not yet, Xu Jue said anxiously, the imperial concubine had to copy the "Heart Sutra" after breakfast every day, and the emperor had to review it for an hour.Eunuch Feng took this chance and asked me to send the booklet to Mr. Zhang, wanting to ask for an idea, and this time can't be delayed too long.Cheng Wen and his gang beat the Dengwen drum, and everyone in the palace knew about it. It's not the whole palace, but the whole capital city.Zhang Juzheng stretched out his hand to feel the breeze passing through the pavilion, frowned and said, it is midsummer in June, and the huge capital city is already sweltering like a steamer.In this way, the heat is even more unbearable. Xu Jue knew that Zhang Ju was expressing his feelings, but he was worried for his master, eager to get to the point as soon as possible, so he begged: Mr. Zhang, please give our master an idea. Seeing how anxious you are, things haven't gone bad yet!Although Zhang Juzheng comforted Xu Jue in this way, he was not very confident.At this juncture, if there is any carelessness and improper handling, the situation will get out of hand. All kinds of joints flashed through his mind in an instant, and he figured out a clue, and then asked, the Ministry of punishment and etiquette made two decisions, the emperor Have you seen it? Eunuch Feng read it to the emperor and Concubine Li Gui. What is the will of the Holy Spirit? When the imperial concubine heard the scriptures for the first time, she still felt that Gao Huzi looked like a minister who cared about his fate. It was not until Eunuch Feng told Mr. Zhang's analysis that the imperial concubine woke up like a dream, and then she saw Gao Beard's sinister intentions. Xu Jue then gave a general account of what happened that day in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.Zhang Juzheng listened, nodded slightly, and said: As long as the imperial concubine is determined and thinks that Eunuch Feng is a decent inner minister and an indispensable companion for the current emperor, don't talk about making irresponsible remarks, just thirty and fifty Dao, it's just a mayfly shaking a tree. This point, my master is also clear from the bottom of his heart, he is just worried, these three books, especially Cheng Wen's meeting with the imperial concubine, in case the imperial concubine gets angry, how should my master deal with it? Now that the matter has reached this point, it is impossible to cover it up.I think it may be more convenient to solve the problem simply by making things big and turning him upside down. According to Mr. Zhang, how to make this matter a big deal? Xu Jue looked at Zhang Juzheng eagerly, hoping to see some tricks from his face.Zhang Juzheng asked: Eunuch Feng has been in the palace for many years, so he must be very popular. Of course, our master is in the palace, so it can be said that everyone responds to it. Let them come forward and intercede with Concubine Li Gui. Ah, Xu Jue thought for a while and asked, is this useful? I heard that Concubine Li Gui has a lot of feelings on weekdays, this trick may be useful. OK, this one is easy to organize. Also, Zhang Juzheng signaled Xu Jue to come closer, and continued, Qin Yongxi of the Criminal Department was going to Dongchang to negotiate the arrest and interrogation of Wang Jiusi, and he was probably on his way now, and there was still work to be done on this matter. Wang Jiusi?Xu Jue shook his head to see that there was no one around, and said in a low voice, my master wanted to get rid of him tonight. An imperceptible and cruel smile flashed across Zhang Juzheng's face, and he said calmly: I already guessed that Mr. Feng would do this, if you haven't done it yet, it might as well The next words turned into whispers.Just after finishing speaking, You Qi ran into the pavilion with a nervous expression, and said: Master, a group of people are blocking the gate, they want to come in. Who are they? I'm afraid there are more than a dozen officials from various yamen. The leader is Wei Dapao, the left servant of the official department, clamoring to see you. It's him?Zhang Juzheng shivered in the hot weather, thinking that those who come are not good, and those who are kind will not come.Then I asked Xu Jue, how did you come here? horse riding. Where are the horses? Tied to the horse stake outside the gate, Xu Jue wept and said anxiously, since Wei Dapao is leading the team, they must be Gao Huzi's confidantes, maybe they are here to block me, I can't get out now, but I missed a big deal . When the incident happened suddenly, Zhang Juzheng was also worried about an accident, so he hurriedly asked: "You didn't bring any entourage?" No, that horse was also caught temporarily. It doesn't matter.Zhang Juzheng breathed a sigh of relief, there is a back door in the mansion, you ask You Qi to lead you through the back door. yes. Xu Jue put away the three memorials and hid them, and followed You Qi to the backyard in a hurry.After a while, You Qi returned to Xuehe Pavilion and asked Zhang Juzheng: Master, how do we get rid of Wei Dapao and his gang? Go and tell him that I'm sick and can't see guests, so I'll write a post if I have something to do. yes. You Qi hurried into the front yard again.A gust of wind blew a pond of lotus swaying wildly, and the sound of frogs in the pond suddenly resounded.Zhang Juzheng, who was in a restless mood, felt a little tired, so he went back to the study with heavy steps.Lie on the bamboo reclining chair cushioned with apricot-yellow soft satin, close your eyes and meditate.In the haze, he felt a person standing in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, it was You Qi again. Why are you here again?Zhang Juzheng was a little angry. Master, Wei Shilang left this post.As You Qi said, he handed over the paper in his hand respectfully. Zhang Juzheng took it, and saw that the post read: Outsiders all say that the public and eunuchs are conspiring together, everything is connected, and today's events should be prevented by the public.It is inappropriate to guard this eunuch, as it may become a major event, which is not conducive to the public. Damn! Zhang Juzheng threw away the post, stood up from the reclining chair, and cursed viciously.You Qi was so scared that he retreated to the door of the study, neither leaving nor staying.
