Chapter 35 Zhang Juzheng's Trouble
When I didn’t see Zhang Hong, Empress Dowager Li didn’t feel anything. Now when I saw Zhang Hong, Empress Dowager Li still felt a lot of emotion, and most of the time I thought of her own Emperor Longqing. If I had heard of Zhang Hong, I would never have seen such a short life.
Empress Dowager Li still remembers that Zhang Hong tried hard to advise her husband, hoping that he would not be addicted to women, but she still didn't listen and sent Zhang Hong to Nanjing as a Jingjun. She sighed deeply, and Empress Dowager Li sighed a lot.
Zhu Yijun sat next to Empress Dowager Li, looked at Zhang Hong, and then glanced at Feng Bao.
Although Feng Bao had a smile on his face at this time, the distance was close, and Zhu Yijun could clearly see the twitching expression on Feng Bao's face.
The return of Zhang Hong is good news for Zhu Yijun, and a loyal person will use it in the future, but for Feng Bao, this is definitely bad news. Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing have dealt with him. If you add Feng Bao, it will be troublesome.
But Feng Bao didn't know that Zhang Hong never thought about fighting for power and profit, nor did he think about fighting Feng Bao. After all, he was different from Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng also wanted to join forces with Zhang Hong to deal with Feng Bao, but Zhang Hong refused.
Zhu Yijun understood that Zhang Hong had experienced storms and was very clear about the difficulties of eunuchs. He probably felt that Feng Bao was "Why do eunuchs make things difficult for eunuchs?" But Feng Bao didn't know at this time, and he was very careful about Zhang Hong.
"Since I'm back, then I'll be in the Sili Supervisor first!" Empress Dowager Li came to her senses from the entanglement and asked to arrange an errand for Zhang Hong.
In the palace, the most popular yamen is naturally the Silijian. In addition to the Silijian, the rest is the Imperial Horse Prison. Now the admiral is Zhang Jing, who holds military power. Although he is not as powerful as Feng Bao, he is still in a high position and powerful position.
In the Silijian, the status of eunuchs in Bingbi is naturally not low, but in the Silijian, the ordinary eunuchs in Bingbi are not very powerful. Zhang Cheng is like this, otherwise he would not have recognized people, but he would not have been round and flat.
The number one in Silijian is naturally the eunuch who is in charge of seals. Not only is it ranked first, but it also has very great power. He was the one who built the jade seal for the emperor.
The rest is the eunuch of Silijian, the Silijian of the East Factory, who is the second-ranked person in Silijian.
The three eunuchs in the inner court should be the eunuchs in charge of the seals of the Sili Supervisor, the eunuchs in charge of the pens of the Sili Supervisor were ordered to be the East Factory, and the eunuchs in charge of the pens of the Sili Supervisor were ordered to be the Imperial Horse Supervisor. However, Feng Bao now occupies two positions, the eunuchs in charge of the seals of the Sili Supervisor and the eunuchs in charge of the seals of the Sili Supervisor and the eunuchs in charge of the East Factory.
In Zhu Yijun's opinion, no wonder Feng Bao eats alone like this, no wonder everyone regards him as a thorn in his side. He is so greedy.
Some people say that he revised the will, but it was not obvious that it was groundless. Maybe it was true.
When Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing were disappointed when they heard that Empress Dowager Li just asked Zhang Hong to join the Secretariat Supervisor, they were relieved. Feng Bao was really worried that Zhang Hong would steal the seal of his Secret Supervisor, or to be ordered to supervise the East Factory.
No matter which of these two positions is gone, Feng Bao can't be arrogant anymore.
Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng were hated in their hearts. Feng Bao really liked Empress Dowager Li!
"I thank the Empress Dowager!" Zhang Hong hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, his eyes a little red. He was not like this because he was transferred back to the capital to reuse, but because of Empress Dowager Li's understanding of him, which proved that he did not do anything wrong back then.
After Zhang Hong came back, he seemed to throw a stone in the peaceful capital, and he was concerned about this matter from inside to outside.
The ministers were afraid that the eunuchs' fights would affect the outer court. After all, Gao Gong's incident had just passed, and everything was sensitive at this time!
Zhang Juzheng naturally knew about Zhang Hong's return, but Zhang Juzheng was not in the mood to take care of this now. He encountered a troublesome thing, one that would affect the whole body. If this matter cannot be solved well, let alone any reform plan, he would be bothered by whether he should be the chief minister of the cabinet or not.
"Master, news is coming from Nanjing!" You Qi handed a letter to Zhang Juzheng and said.
A few days ago, Yingtian Governor Zhang Jiayin submitted a resignation note, which directly alarmed the entire capital's officialdom. Now that Zhang Hong is back, there seems to be changes in the inner court. The two things are combined, and the entire capital's officialdom can be described as panic.
Although Governor Yingtian is important, it is not so important. The key is that Zhang Jiayin is not only Governor Yingtian, but also Gao Gong's student.
As Gao Gong's student, he wrote a resignation note at this time, which was nothing more than two reasons. One was forced by Zhang Juzheng, and the outside world was spreading this way, and the other was to speak up for the teacher Gao Gong.
Although there are many people who support this reason later, everyone is in the officialdom and knows that this is unlikely.
After all, Gao Gong is just Zhang Jiayin's teacher, not his preacher, and the relationship between the two is not necessarily so behind. Although the relationship between master and apprentice is very important in the officialdom and mutual promotion and support is common, it is unlikely that they will resign for the sake of the other party.
Zhang Jiayin's official position is not small anymore. Governor Yingtian, can an official be abandoned?
Zhang Juzheng also saw this, so he asked someone to check it out to see if someone forced Zhang Jiayin to resign under his own banner. If Zhang Jiayin really resigned and forced Gao Gong to settle his reputation, it would be confirmed.
At that time, everyone will be in danger of the high-ranking officials, and the court will definitely be in chaos.
This kind of chaos is definitely not what Zhang Juzheng wants to see. If he wants to be a powerful minister, he will naturally have to form Feng Bao internally, clean Gao Gong's men and arrange his own followers. But Zhang Juzheng does not want to be a powerful minister, he has ideals and ambitions.
The party dispute will be too great and last for a long time. These people who have been dismissed from office will definitely be very resentful. When they reform, these people will be all obstacles. After they are dismissed from office and return to their hometown, they will become local tyrants.
Anyway, Gao Gong left and couldn't come back. He should reasonably accept Gao Gong's staff. This is what he should do.
Once a party dispute starts, I don’t know when the quarrel will go. This is not what Zhang Juzheng wants, nor is it what Empress Dowager Li wants.
After opening the letter and looking at it, Zhang Juzheng's eyes suddenly became sharp. He slapped the letter paper on the table. Zhang Juzheng said angrily: "I'm really not angry, I'm making trouble, what's there to make trouble!"
This letter explains the reason why Zhang Jiayin resigned. It turns out that someone forced Zhang Jiayin, and this person was no one else, but the third son of his teacher Xu Jie. However, Zhang Juzheng would not look at the problem like this. It would be strange if he did not have the work of his teacher Xu Jie.
