boom!
As a white light flashed, making Zhu Yijun's face extremely clear, a Xia Lei exploded outside the window.
Zhu Yijun did not turn around and said: "Then get rid of him!"
Zhang Jing knew Zhu Yijun's intentions, and when another ray of light suddenly appeared, he glanced at Zhu Yijun and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. If you defeat Feng Dang, you cannot defeat Mr. Zhang!"
"This is different from your words in the past. I remember that before Sun Hai went to Nanjing, you said that if you want to get rid of Feng Bao, you can't do it without getting rid of Mr. Zhang."
Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Zhang Jing said: "I didn't understand the emperor's thoughts at that time. In the current situation, Mr. Zhang still needs to carry the banner of restructuring. Some things can only be done by Mr. Zhang, not to mention that the emperor can take it lightly."
"Good slave, just understand."
Zhu Yijun replied.
Zhang Jing added: "In this case, as a slave, I cannot directly order Feng Bao to go to Nanjing to live leisurely with a handwritten decree from the inner court. It would be better to order the foreign court officials to impeach Feng Bao and then have the ceremonial supervisor approve him." , this will make the outside world think that this is not the intention of the emperor, but the intention of Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang, and that Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang and the Inner Court Chief of Ceremonies Xin Bingbi conspired to overthrow Feng!"
Zhu Yijun turned to look at Zhang Jing and said nothing for a while.
Suddenly, Zhu Yijun entered the back room and said: "I allow you to secretly contact the civil servants of other dynasties and discuss the matter of overthrowing Feng in secret! Since the banquet, when I listened to the lectures, I always studied hard; when I watched the dynasty, I also accepted everything. Words. Presumably, it should make those who are experts in Eguan not want the government to be controlled by an eunuch."
"As the emperor said, now the outer court has not lost its intention to Feng Bao because Feng Bao framed Gao Xinzheng is far away. Because the emperor is becoming more and more like a wise king, on the contrary, the intention to go to Feng Bao is getting stronger and stronger, just like Mr. Lu Ge Although I am willing to live under Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang, I am not willing to be a follower of Feng Bao. But now, because the matter of passing the legal examination is blocked, even Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang is beginning to be dissatisfied with Feng Bao."
Zhang Jing turned around and looked at Zhu Yijun's back, then said: "The real time is almost ripe, everything is waiting for His Majesty's decision!"
"Who do you plan to let impeach Feng Bao?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
"Hai Rui! The late emperor once said that this person is the emperor's sharp sword. Therefore, it is not this person who is not enough to make the empress dowagers of the two palaces willing to believe in Feng Bao's evil!"
Zhang Jing then added: "This must be the reason why the emperor insists on using this person."
Zhu Yijun smiled faintly and did not answer Zhang Jing: "Very good, just Hai Rui!"
…
"Hai Rui?"
Just because Zhang Juzheng was obedient and did not refuse his request to bribe people to join the cabinet and obtain an official position for him, Feng Bao just approved the entrance examination law presided over by Zhang Juzheng and sent it to the cabinet with his confidant Zhang Damou, the eunuch of the clerk's office. Xu Jue came to Feng Bao and told Feng Bao that Xu Fan wanted Feng Bao to help him get rid of Hai Rui.
"That's right!"
"This Hai Rui has offended the Xu family too much. Father-in-law, you know that."
"According to the Xu family's intention, appointing Hai Rui means letting the world know that the Xu family's power is not as powerful as it used to be. Not even one Hai Rui can suppress it. So the Xu family cannot sit back and watch Hai Rui be resurrected."
"What the Xu family means is that as long as my father-in-law cooperates in deposing Hai Rui, the Xu family will donate half of this year's profits from sea trade to your father-in-law."
Xu Jue said with a flattering smile.
"Is this Mr. Xu's idea or his, Xu Fan's?"
Feng Bao suddenly asked.
Xu Jue said: "It must be Mr. Xu's idea?"
"Nonsense! Would Mr. Xu be so reckless? Does he really think that our family will continue to work for his family after receiving some benefits from his family?"
Feng Bao said sternly, then questioned Xu Jue, and said, "It must be that Zhang Juzheng refused to take care of his family, so he came to pay homage to our family's lintel!"
As he said this, Feng Bao laughed: "I didn't expect that the Xu family would ask our family for help today."
Xu Jue asked tremblingly: "What do you mean, father-in-law?"
"This Hai Rui has always been a nuisance. Zhang Juzheng used him to reform the system and save him from offending others. If we don't use him now, it will also prevent him from offending our family in the future. It's hard for our family to be that evil person. Now that the Xu family is willing to bear this evil, it is naturally a good thing."
"Tell him Xu Fan that for Mr. Xu's sake, our family will reluctantly accept 10% of the benefit from his family's overseas trip this year."
Feng Bao replied.
"Isn't it half?"
Xu Jue opened his mouth to speak, but still didn't ask, just said yes.
Feng Bao sighed here: "This Xu Huating is really clueless in teaching his son!"
"That's what my father-in-law said."
Xu Jue smiled and said, "I have one more thing to tell you. There is a rich man named Liang Guozhu. His son is very sick. A famous doctor said that he is afraid that he will not be saved in the future, but he intends to find a princess when he is old. The marriage is not only for happiness, but also for the opportunity to enhance the family's status. I originally offered one hundred thousand silver to her, but I hope that your father-in-law will not give this opportunity to others in the future."
Feng Bao nodded: "This is easy. Just remind us when the time comes."
"yes!"
Xu Jue agreed and said: "In addition, the money sold by the weavers of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau to the Xu family has arrived and has been sent to the father-in-law's house. The account is still recorded in the treasury."
Feng Bao nodded and said nothing.
Xu Jue also retreated.
…
It was midsummer in the first year of Wanli, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the cicadas were chirping. The lanes made of high walls also emitted dazzling light from the dense leaves inside the walls.
Hai Rui, who was holding the watermelon, wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the lights with a smile. Then he glanced at the watermelon in his hand. Just as he was about to walk out of the alley, he heard a familiar voice appear behind him.
"Brother Gomine!"
Hai Rui was overjoyed and turned around to see Wang Yongji walking towards him carrying a strip of pork belly.
Hai Rui immediately frowned and asked, "Brother Runlian, why are you lifting the meat?"
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to curry favor with you, the Vice-President of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I am here to respect the Madam. I heard that the Madam has arrived in Beijing, so I came here to say hello."
As Wang Yongji spoke, he asked, "Brother, you won't turn away gifts from elders, right?"
"please!"
Hai Rui hugged the watermelon with one hand and made a gesture of invitation.
The two of them walked side by side to the small courtyard where Hai Rui rented, talking about official news and laughing from time to time.
"How is my soldier's health?"
"You've gotten a lot better since the last time I saw you."
Suddenly, when the two of them were talking about Tan Lun, they saw a strong man in black single clothes, straw sandals, and a bamboo hat standing outside the door of the small courtyard where Hai Rui lived. He was carrying a bag and standing with a knife outside the door.
"Mr. Gomine, sir?"
Before Hai Rui could ask, the big man asked him first.
Hai Rui saw the four words "Beizhen Fusi" clearly engraved on the waist badge of this big man.
"I, Zhu Qi, have issued an order to hand this thing over to you, and you can only go back and deliver it after you have seen it."
"It turns out to be Master Qi."
As he spoke, the big man named Zhu Qi opened a bundle and handed over a stack of evidence related to Feng Bao.
Hai Rui hurriedly handed the watermelon to Wang Yongji.
Wang Yongji lowered his hands and caught the watermelon.
Hai Rui had already received the evidence and started reading it.
"That's unreasonable!"
"How on earth can these wealthy gentry be so satisfied?!"
“First we seized people’s land, and now we steal the country’s profits!”
"During the late emperor's time, the purpose of opening up the sea for trade was not to allow them to seize the imperial court's weaving profits and enrich themselves, but to strengthen the world's military without imposing levies on the people!"
Hai Rui shook his mouth and asked in a scolding voice.
