Liu Yao's sudden act of disrupting the sutra banquet ceremony made Zhang Juzheng and other cabinet ministers and officials present look at him with displeasure.
After all, who would have thought that the first person to be disrupted and disrupted the Jingyan system that had been running smoothly for several years during the Wanli Dynasty was actually the Qingliu civil servant himself who benefited the most from the Jingyan?
However, Liu Yao had no choice. He had to take advantage of the opportunity to see the emperor at the Jingyan to launch a counterattack against Zhang Juzheng who suddenly cleaned up his family.
Otherwise, he didn't know whether he would be taken away by Jin Yiwei because of the confessions of Qin Yao, Li Cai and others.
Liu Yao now just regrets that he did not wait until You Qi sent proof that Zhang Juzheng accepted bribes from the generals in the border town.
Originally, this was something he had agreed with You Qi a long time ago. Once something went wrong and endangered their small group in Zhang's party, You Qi should immediately bring Zhang Juzheng's charges.
This will not only bring down Zhang Juzheng, but also the other generals behind Zhang Juzheng, and this can be regarded as the surrender certificate that You Qi handed over to the Jiangnan gentry behind him.
But Liu Yao waited all night and did not come to You Qi, so he could only impeach Zhang Juzheng at the banquet this morning with the charges against Zhang Juzheng that he had already grasped.
Zhu Yijun also darkened his face.
He knew that by asking Zhang Juzheng to strictly clean up his family, he had really driven many villains and hypocrites into Zhang Juzheng's party.
How could these people let Zhang Juzheng clean up like this?
Naturally, he was going to fight back!
But Zhu Yijun had to admit that these people were indeed very powerful, and they had actually dug up Zhang Juzheng's dark history so early.
Even the evidence of the Minister Wang case six years ago is in his hands.
Obviously, these people have undoubtedly been secretly collecting evidence of Zhang Juzheng's crimes for a long time, preparing to betray Zhang Juzheng Yong or defeat Zhang Juzheng Yong in the future.
Moreover, he also bribed Qi Jiguang's generals and implicated Qi Jiguang.
"Send it over."
Zhu Yijun could only say this at this time.
Wang Guoguang, Shen Li and others all glanced at Zhang Juzheng at this time.
Zhang Juzheng stood there silently, as if nothing was wrong.
Zhang Siwei pursed his lips tightly and looked at Zhu Yijun.
After Zhu Yijun got the evidence of crime provided by Liu Yao, which was the so-called private message from Qi Jiguang in reply to Zhang Juzheng, he started to look at it and was silent for a long time. He only glanced at Liu Yao and then at Zhang Juzheng.
To be honest, the incriminating evidence must be conclusive evidence.
The former Minister Wang case was indeed a stain on Zhang Juzheng.
In order to defeat Gao Gong and gain control of power, Zhang Juzheng did many shameful things behind the backs of the emperor and Feng Bao.
Otherwise, Liu Yao would not impeach his mentor Zhang Juzheng by destroying the Jingyan during the Jingyan.
But the problem is that Zhu Yijun has no intention of obeying the wishes of these people, punishing Zhang Juzheng, and then personally getting rid of such a good teacher and assistant who protects him from wind and rain.
Therefore, Liu Yao and the people behind him posed a problem for Emperor Zhu Yijun, and they also pushed Zhu Yijun to the wall.
These people forced Zhu Yijun to express his position, indicating whether he really wanted to protect Zhang Juzheng at all costs, or whether he was willing to completely side with him and the Jiangnan gentry behind him at this time, and took this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Juzheng and directly clean up Zhang Juzheng. The portal turned into a liquidation of the entire Zhang Party.
In Liu Yao's view, under such circumstances, unless Zhang Juzheng really wanted to rebel, it was impossible for him to really break the table with the emperor at this time.
When the emperor had conclusive evidence to accuse him, he was still forced to confuse right and wrong.
Liu Yao had already opened his mouth slightly, showing a proud look.
It can be said that the people who know Zhang Juzheng best are often his own people.
Liu Yao, as a Qingliu official who entered the Hanlin Academy as the second best student, became Zhang Juzheng's student when he entered the Hanlin Academy, and was one of Zhang Juzheng's most proud students, only behind Shen Shixing, Pan Sheng, and Shen Li. That’s all.
Therefore, Liu Yao knew better than anyone else what kind of person Zhang Juzheng was, and he also knew that Zhang Juzheng was not a real traitor who could harm Gao Gong behind the emperor's back, but he would never really do it when the emperor ordered him to become an official or even ordered him to die. He really wanted to disobey his orders, and even dragged Qi Jiguang and forced the Queen Mother to depose the emperor.
What's more, Liu Yao also knew that Zhang Juzheng couldn't do it.
After all, he knew that most of Zhang Juzheng's employees were gentlemen who put state affairs first, and not all those who were willing to follow him were really willing to listen to him unconditionally.
Many important members of Zhang Juzheng's party listened to Zhang Juzheng's words only because Zhang Juzheng's governing philosophy was the same as theirs. It was just because everyone wanted to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but they were not really willing to let Zhang Juzheng suppress the emperor and even change dynasties.
Zhu Yijun was indeed in a dilemma now, and he was also angered by Liu Yao's villainous face that could not be concealed.
Liu Yao saw the emperor's hesitation at a glance, but he just thought that the emperor was cowardly and did not dare to suddenly break up with Zhang Juzheng at this time. Just to cheer up the emperor, he decided to continue to drag Gao Gong into the water, and said :
"Your Majesty, not to mention that Taifu Gao was framed by Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao, Qi Jiguang and others in the past. According to rumors, Taifu Gao never said that the ten-year-old emperor An Neng would decide the matter. It was just Feng Bao who advanced behind the Queen Mother. The slander has framed the Taifu!"
"The actual words of the Taifu were: 'How can a ten-year-old emperor be able to decide political affairs?' rather than 'A ten-year-old emperor can decide affairs.' Although there is only a few words difference between these two sentences, they have a great meaning. Because of the difference, the former was just that Emperor Gao suspected that Feng Bao was going behind His Majesty's back to decide political affairs, and thought that His Majesty was young at the time and could not decide political affairs alone. The latter sentence, after Feng Bao deliberately cut out a few words, turned into The Tutor has doubts that Your Majesty is too young to do what the Emperor wants, this is obviously a frame-up!"
"If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can call the master and ask him carefully!"
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "Summon Gao Gong!"
Zhu Yijun had long expected that Liu Yao and other villains would raise their heads and dive into the water when they were forced by Zhang Juzheng, who was cleaning up his family.
Otherwise, he would not have gone to Gao Gong after he and Zhang Juzheng decided to let Zhang Juzheng clean up the house.
Because the Manchu Dynasty had the strength to replace Zhang Juzheng and had conflicts with Zhang Juzheng, only Gao Gong was willing to overthrow Zhang Juzheng.
It all started when Gao Gong was the chief assistant and in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and carried out a reform to select the governor-general.
According to Gao Gong's original words, "the reserve of our own troops should start from the subordinates of the Ministry of War, and at the same time, when there are more troops from abroad, the side materials will be abundant." That is to say, the minister of the Ministry of War will be appointed as the governor, and at the same time, central officials will be transferred to the border towns for training. It is the choice of the Governor of the Army, and then serves as the reserve of the future army, the Minister of War.
Therefore, many governors at the beginning of Longqing and Wanli were actually trained by Gao Gong.
Gao Gong also had the kindness to train and recommend them.
Not to mention people like Wang Chonggu and Wu Baipeng, the current Minister of War, Fang Fengfeng, was able to participate in Anda and Gong when he was governor of Datong because of Gao Gong's training and promotion.
Therefore, if Gao Gong replaced Zhang Juzheng, people like Fang Fengshi would be convinced and would not dare to say anything.
It's just that Gao Gong is crazier and harder to get along with than Zhang Juzheng, so many ministers are still more willing to follow Zhang Juzheng.
But if the emperor insists on letting Gao Gong replace Zhang Juzheng, they are willing to accept it.
Liu Yao doesn't like Gao Gong now either.
But he was also driven into panic and had to forcefully pull the high arch into the water.
But now that Zhu Yijun summoned Gao Gong, he was naturally happy and thought that the counterattack would be successful.
Not long after, Gao Gong arrived in front of the emperor.
Zhu Yijun then asked Gao Gong: "Master, Liu Aiqing just defended you. The case of Minister Yan Wang was actually a conspiracy designed by Mr. Feng Bao to frame you. Besides, you never said that An had a ten-year-old emperor to decide the matter." What did you say? Please answer me, did you say that?"
"Your Majesty, what I said was, 'How can a ten-year-old emperor be able to decide political affairs?'"
"But Your Majesty! These words indeed seem to be looking at Your Majesty as a child!"
"So, even if Feng Bao deliberately deleted it to frame me, I was still suspected of being a child and despising His Majesty. I was dismissed from office that day. It is indeed my own fault!"
Gao Gong replied at this time.
After hearing this, Liu Yao looked at Gao Gong in surprise: "Master, how can you admit that you once despised the emperor as a child?!"
