"Don't worry. Everything will be fine!"
Tian Sheng said with a smile, "Our men are all here. They are all experienced people. Don't worry about them!"
Mr. Shao nodded. He also knew that Tian Sheng was telling the truth, but it was a serious matter this time. He couldn't help saying, "We still have to be careful. The Imperial Bodyguard is everywhere. If we are not careful, we will all be killed."
"By the way, do you have any news about those people last time?" Mr. Shao thought for a while and found it was a problem.
Tian Sheng shook his head and said with a serious face, "No, those people are very mysterious and difficult to deal with. We lost several men last time, but we still couldn't find them."
"Who are they?" Mr. Shao said hesitantly, "They don't look like Dongchang or Imperial Bodyguard."
"I don't know."
Tian Sheng said with a smile, "Maybe it's just a coincidence. We blocked their way last time and didn't provoke them. I don't think they will chase after us. Besides, we are not easy to deal with."
"If they really chase after us, it will be better. We don't have to look for them everywhere."
They didn't continue to talk about other things. After a simple conversation, they left Pear Garden together.
In the backyard of Pear Garden, a man was also sitting in a room drinking tea. There was sandalwood incense burning on the square table next to him. Behind him, there was a little maid who was gently massaging his shoulders.
Judging from his clothes, this man should be a rich man. After all, ordinary people couldn't afford a suit of superior Su embroidery.
Seeing someone coming in, the man put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "Have they left?"
"Yes, they have left!"
The man nodded respectfully and said, "Our men have already ambushed them. They can be taken down just now. Why don't we go after them now?"
Before the man finished his words, Da Jingdou waved his hand and interrupted him, "These people must have come to the capital to plan something. I'm very curious about what they are here for. Don't disturb them for now.
If we can dig something out this time, we will make a great contribution. "
"Zhao Sihai, arrange someone to keep an eye on them. I'd like to see what they're up to," the Big Dinger instructed with a serious expression.
Zhao Sihai quickly said, "Yes, big shot!" After that, he walked out quickly.
After Zhao Sihai left, another person came in. He was dressed in a scholarly robe and looked like a scholar. He was about forty years old and had a fair face without a beard. This person was none other than Xu De, who had been appointed by Zhu Yijun to be the eunuch in charge of the internal affairs.
As soon as Xu De walked in, Xu Ren, who was known as the Big Stud Head, hurried to greet him.
"Big Brother!" Xu Ren respectfully stood beside Xu De and said with a smile, "Are you done watching the show?"
Xu De nodded and turned to look at Zhao Sihai, who left in a hurry, and asked, "What happened?"
"Just a small matter!"
Xu Ren waved his hand and denied it. Seeing that his big brother was staring at him, he quickly added, "It's those people who were in the south last time. This time, they came to the capital. I asked someone to keep an eye on them to see what they're up to."
Xu De nodded. He didn't take it to heart and just signaled to his brother that he knew.
"The capital has been very chaotic recently. There must be a lot of thieves and rascals. Keep an eye on them and find out what's going on."
Xu De looked at Xu Ren and said seriously, "You know your big brother's situation. If we're not careful, our whole family will be finished."
Xu Ren quickly nodded and said, "Yes, big brother, I understand!"
"Also send someone to keep an eye on Dongchang. Don't let anything happen in Dongchang. We still don't know anything after the investigation in Dongchang." Xu De said again and then said, "Okay, I'm leaving!"
That night, many sneaky people appeared in the streets and alleys of the capital. They were basically in groups of two.
One was carrying a wooden bucket, and the other was holding a stack of paper. They walked to the place and quickly pasted the paper, then quickly left.
These people moved very quickly. It was obvious that they had been prepared in advance.
The next day, when the people of the capital woke up, they found this thing.
To put it bluntly, it was a notice. It was written on a large piece of white paper, and the content was very simple. In fact, it was about Zhang Juzheng's abuse of power, and it said that Zhang Juzheng was reluctant to go home after his father died.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Yijun received the news when he was still eating breakfast.
Now, a notice was placed in front of Zhu Yijun. After glancing at it, Zhu Yijun continued to lower his head and eat his porridge, as if he didn't care about it at all.
After a while, he raised his head and asked Zhang Jing, "Can you find out who did it?"
"It's very difficult to get back to the Imperial Majesty!"
Zhang Jing quickly said, "The paper is a common toilet paper on the market, and the ink is also a common thing. It can be seen everywhere on the street."
"But these people must have ulterior motives. These notices are all hand-copied. It takes a lot of people a long time to prepare for it."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile, "They even played with the big-character posters. It seems that the consciousness of the ancient people is also quite advanced."
Then, Zhu Yijun told Zhang Jing, "Check it. It's best if you can find it, but it's okay if you can't."
"Yes, Imperial Majesty!" Zhang Jing said respectfully. At the same time, he made up his mind to let Dongchang check it carefully.
Zhu Yijun naturally knew that this was the most difficult thing to find out. Since they had premeditated it, how could it be so easy to find out?
Ordering Zhang Jing like this, Zhu Yijun didn't want him to make a mess.
After all, the capital was chaotic enough now. Everyone's attention was on Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng's mansion.
Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Yijun were also having breakfast. The housekeeper, You Chi, also handed over the big-character posters. Zhang Juzheng didn't say a word after reading it.
His face instantly darkened, and he put down the bowl in his hand.
"Let the Imperial Bodyguard check it!" Zhang Juzheng glanced at You Chi and only said this.
You Chi went to find the Imperial Bodyguard. Someone came to deliver a message. Zhang Juzheng's student, Wu Zhonghang, was outside asking to see him.
Now Zhang Juzheng was very tired of the word "student". The previous Liu Tai case had already caused him to be disgraced.
In the two hundred years since Daming's establishment, there had never been a student impeaching a teacher. It could be said that Zhang Juzheng had set such a precedent.
As the First Secretary of Daming's Cabinet, Zhang Juzheng had been a child prodigy since he was young. He was also proud of his talent.
Although he didn't consider himself as a "role model" in the officialdom, he still had the arrogance that he should have.
How could Zhang Juzheng not be angry when Daming's student impeached a teacher?
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Juzheng still decided to meet him. He thought about it and ordered his family, "Bring him to the back hall!"
The back hall was also called the small hall or the second hall. It was a relatively small private place for receiving guests. It was more intimate than the front hall.
When Zhang Juzheng came to the back hall in white mourning clothes, Wu Zhonghang was already waiting there.
When he saw Zhang Juzheng, Wu Zhonghang hurriedly bowed. "Student Wu Zhonghang greets teacher!"
Zhang Juzheng nodded. He sat on the chair and looked at Wu Zhonghang. He directly asked, "Why are you here today?"
Wu Zhong Xing didn't talk nonsense. He directly took out a memorial from his sleeve and respectfully handed it up, "Teacher, this is the memorial written by your student. Please have a look!" After that, he handed the memorial to his family member who was waiting on the side, and then returned it.
Zhang Juzheng took the memorial and opened it for a long time. His expression didn't change. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "Has this memorial been handed over?"
"It hasn't been handed over. This student doesn't dare to show it to teacher!" Wu Zhonghang said righteously.
In fact, what Wu Zhonghang said made sense. It was a taboo to show the Grand Secretary before handing over the memorial.
However, this wasn't an ordinary matter. Zhang Juzheng and Wu Zhonghang didn't have a superior and subordinate relationship. They had a teacher-student relationship!
After fiercely throwing Wu Zhonghang's memorial to the ground, Zhang Juzheng turned around and walked towards the back hall.
Wu Zhonghang didn't look at the memorial on the ground. Instead, he bowed to Zhang Juzheng's back. Then, he turned around and walked outside. His steps looked very determined. The expression on his face was also abnormally determined.
Wu Zhonghang's memorial caused quite a stir. After all, Wu Zhonghang was Zhang Juzheng's student.
In front of him was Liu Tai, and behind him was Wu Zhonghang. For a moment, Zhang Juzheng actually felt that he was deserted by everyone.
However, the matter wasn't over yet. Another student of Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Yongxian, also submitted a memorial the next day. He also objected to Zhang Juzheng stealing his love.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
In front of Zhu Yijun, there were two more memorials. They were from Wu Zhonghang and Zhao Yongxian.
Looking at these two memorials, Zhu Yijun sighed. He reckoned that his teacher was probably feeling bad.
The ones who were impeaching him were all his students. What was this!
Perhaps you didn't agree with your teacher's methods, but if you kept your mouth shut and didn't say anything, it wouldn't be a big deal at this time. No one would say anything about this matter. After all, relatives hid each other's secrets, let alone a teacher.
Zhu Yijun felt that Zhang Juzheng didn't collapse under the pressure. He didn't turn into someone like Yan Song or Wei Zhongxian. This was all because of Zhang Juzheng's unswerving character.
Zhu Yijun didn't have any impression of others, but this Zhao Yongxian and Wu Zhonghang, Zhu Yijun had a very strong impression.
However, this impression wasn't from this life, but from his previous life.
Perhaps many people hadn't heard of these two, but they were one of the founding figures of the Donglin Party.
In this time's Love Stealing incident, the famous Five Gentlemen were born.
The three most famous were Wu Zhonghang, Zhao Yongxian, and Zou Yuanbiao. With these three as the foundation, they united a large number of people. They opposed the reform and learned to make rules. They learned that those who followed them lived, and those who didn't died.
Apart from Wu Zhonghang and Zhao Yongxian, there was also Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi. These four were the four founding members of the Donglin Party. After them, there was Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Nanxing, Gu Xiancheng, and Gao Panlong. The Donglin Party eventually became a great power that controlled the world.
