Chapter 180: Character Determines Destiny (Part 2)
Why is Xu Jie said to be a conspiracy?
Because just last night, I was in urgent need of a letter to Beijing, not to say whether anyone else knew it, but Gao Gong and Xu Jie must be insiders.
The Yellow River did not retreat in autumn, and heavy rains continued. Many river embankments in Shandong collapsed and poured back into newly built river channels. The four counties became a country of water and water. Tens of thousands of disaster victims were wailing, and countless people destroyed their families. Shandong governors and censors wrote letters to impeach Pan Jixun, who was the governor of the river.
When the Beijing Inspection Bureau was just beginning, Wu Shan closed his door to thank the guests because of illness. Only Gao Gong and Xu Jie were left in the cabinet, and Gao Gong monopolized the power... In this case, what would Xu Jie do?
Of course, it's a quit.
The man from Gao Jiao robbed the ticket and the right to approve the prize. I, the chief minister of the cabinet, just took on a false reputation, and had a narrow shoulders and could not bear anything.
Besides, last year, Zhang Juzheng recommended Pan Jixun, who was then Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to be the governor of Hedao. No matter from any perspective, Pan Jixun was regarded as a member of Gao Gong.
Moreover, Gao Gong knew that Shandong governors and inspectors had contact with Xu Jie, and maybe Xu Jie would suppress the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works and poke the hole a little bigger.
In this case, if something big happens in Shandong, the iron pot is high.
If you are a little darker, aren’t you proud of your spirit and taking it as your responsibility to support the country?
Now that the Yellow River is flooding and the people are suffering from disaster, do you still have to hide at home?
If it was Zhang Juzheng, he would definitely shrink his neck and carry it over first. If it was Qian Yuan, he would find another way to bypass Xu Jie, but Gao Gong chose to return to Xiyuan Zhilu to manage the government.
Therefore, character determines destiny.
Watching Gao Gong leave, Zhang Juzheng slowly sat on the stone steps in the yard, his hands in his sleeves trembling slightly, and he didn't dare to think about his possible outcome.
I am different from Qian Yuan. I have almost everything I have relied on Xu Jie before, but now I rely on Gao Gong. I have no Suiyuan, no like-minded friends, and no powerful enough to make Xu Jie and Gao Gong afraid of it.
Suiyuan's strength is there, and he is trusted by His Majesty. He is alone. It can be imagined that once Gao Gong is defeated, who will Xu Jie's first target be...
At this time, Zhang Juzheng was desperate. Although he didn't know what Xu Jie would do next, he no longer had hope for Gao Gong.
Walking out of the back door alley, Zhang Juzheng wandered in the irregular alley for a long time until he saw the southeast-style wall from afar. He was confused and suddenly saw countless deep-burned scenes flashing through his mind.
I wanted to go to Zhoushan, but was stopped in Ningbo. I had exchanged letters for several years, and I had a happy reunion after the Beijing reunion, and the playful play in Suiyuan...
Later, perhaps because he became famous in the capital, perhaps because his light was too dazzling, gradually moving away and farther away...
Afterwards, what flashed through Zhang Juzheng's mind was the bright moon that night, and the helplessness and determination that he was forced to go to Liangshan.
"Uncle Brother?"
Zhang Juzheng turned around and saw Sun Jian, and reluctantly smiled, "Where did you come from the article?"
"The Hanlin Academy is also in chaos, so I just stole a free time to relax." Sun Yan smiled, "Brother Uncle is spying on Suiyuan?"
This question... Zhang Juzheng coughed twice, "Mr. Zhongxuan has entered the West Garden."
Sun Jian was silent for a moment and shook his head and said, "It's not a wise move."
Zhang Juzheng nodded with a bitter smile, "The Yellow River is flooding, Shandong cannot be in chaos anymore..."
Sun Yan hesitated for a while and whispered: "The news has spread. I just heard in the Hanlin Academy... the rice price has risen."
The rise in rice prices was of course due to the autumn spread of the Yellow River, which caused the waste transportation to be cut off. Although there was a large area of land around Northern Zhili, the food and salary of the capital and border troops mainly relied on the water transportation.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Suiyuan, then looked at Sun Jing who was about to leave, and finally asked: "In the article... Southeast trade has resumed. When will Zhancai return to Beijing?"
Sun Yan turned around and looked at Zhang Juzheng with his eyes narrowed, and then whispered after a long time: "If someone else asked, Sun would say that he would naturally be in line with the will of the saint. Today, uncle and brother asked... When will Zhan Cai return to Beijing, he will also look at when Xuan Gong will visit."
Stop visiting Zhang Juzheng, Sun Jian quickly stepped into Suiyuan and saw Xu Wei lying on a rattan chair to cool off. It was almost October, and Beijing was still a tiger in autumn.
After hearing Sun Jian say a few words, Xu Wei smiled and said, "Zhan Cai attached great importance to Uncle Zhang back then, and he was indeed a little capable."
"The capital is so big, I just wander around and walk around the edge of Suiyuan..." Sun Jian also shook his head and said, "It's impossible that it's a coincidence, my nose is so smart..."
During this period, the Beijing has changed and Gao Gong was scolded as a turtle with his head-shrinking memorial. The memorial of Ouyang Yijing asked Xu Jie to come to invite him in person... Many officials outside were angry or envious or envious, jealous and hated Emperor Longqing's trust in Gao Gong. Only a very small number of people could affirm that the climax had not officially come yet.
Before the climax came, Zhang Juzheng appeared outside Suiyuan, waited for a long time to catch Sun Yan, and asked Qian Yuan about his return date.
This shows that Zhang Juzheng was able to confirm Gao Gong's defeat in the future and also found the right path from the chaotic situation.
Only Suiyuan is qualified to stand up and face Xu Jie, only Suiyuan has the courage to face Xu Jie, and only Suiyuan has to stand up and face Xu Jie.
Once Gao Gong is expelled and Xu Jie takes control of the power, not only will Qian Yuan’s efforts over the years be gone, but it is also likely that he will make wedding clothes for others. Can Qian Yuan bear it?
Yan Shifan was robbed and killed on his way back home. I still don’t know where the body is. Are you not afraid of Qian Yuan?
After Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, Zhang Juzheng never had any contact with Suiyuan in private, but today he had to come, and he had to come.
Zhang Juzheng believed that even if Qian Yuan was not in Beijing, Sun Jing and Xu Wei could see the situation clearly. Moreover, he believed that Qian Yuan refused to return to Beijing until now because of the party struggle in Beijing. It did not mean that he would not participate... That was a restless guy and would never sit there to watch the show honestly.
"Let him go." Xu Wei stood up and picked up the teacup, "Zhan Cai is too dangerous... he is used to taking a different approach."
"Zhancai never thought..." Sun Jian said with a wry smile: "Whoever wants Gao Gong to be so unwise, I don't know what Huating will do next."
"We all know that Zhancai has a complete plan, but whether it can work... is hard to say." Xu Wei sighed: "In fact, Gao Gong is narrow-minded and greedy..."
"Brother Wen!" Sun Yan shouted solemnly, "Zhan Cai is a national economy. Although Gao Xinzheng is a narrow-minded and hostile to Suiyuan, he is the best choice for the government."
