Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao in surprise. Didn't they say that he was colluding with Zhang Juzheng?
Why was he fighting with Zhang Juzheng now?
The political struggles during the reign of Emperor Chong Zhen liked to talk about Liaodong. Every fight started with the situation in Liaodong. In the Jiajing Dynasty, the main battlefield was the resistance against the Japanese in the southeast.
Yan Song and Xu Jie were badly mutilated, and Hu Zongxian was talking about coming on stage.
Was Feng Bao going to start with Qi Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of Jiliao?
Wasn't this a bit too much?
For a moment, Zhu Yijun couldn't guess what Feng Bao was going to do, so he simply stopped thinking about it. This time, Zhu Yijun decided to watch from the side.
It was rare to see a fight between high-level players, so he had to watch and learn!
Queen Dowager Li looked at Feng Bao. This seemed to be a big deal!
However, this was an assassination of her son, so she couldn't let it go. So Queen Dowager Li said seriously, "Investigate. No matter who is involved, no matter what is involved, you must find out the truth."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Old Slave won't let you down."
After leaving the Palace of Cining, Feng Bao returned to his room. He took the wet towel from the eunuch and wiped his face. Glancing at Xu Jue, who had been waiting for a long time, Feng Bao said, "Go and send the news to You Chi in a moment."
Xu Jue was stunned. Why would I send the news to You Chi? This was not the right way!
Feng Bao glanced at Xu Jue. His adopted son was good in every way, except that he was a little stupid.
But it was good that he was stupid, so he wouldn't have thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Looking at Xu Jue, Feng Bao said directly, "I told you to go, so go."
"Yes, godfather!" Xu Jue naturally didn't dare to say anything more. He turned around and ran out to find You Chi to inform him.
Zhang Juzheng was also in urgent need of news from the palace. When You Chi heard that Xu Jue wanted to meet him, he immediately ran to the restaurant they had agreed on.
After entering the single room, You Chi asked directly, "What's going on?"
"An assassin entered the palace, and a dagger was found on his waist."
He told You Chi everything in detail. At last, Xu Jue said carefully, "We've interrogated them in Dongchang, and we've found some information. The assassin is called Minister Of The Crown, and he works for Qi Jiguang, the Commander-In-Chief of Ji Liao."
Worked for Qi Jiguang, the Commander-In-Chief of Ji Liao?
You Chi frowned when he heard this. How could this be? How did Qi Jiguang, the Commander-In-Chief of Ji Liao, get involved?
How could You Chi not know the relationship between Qi Jiguang, the Commander-In-Chief of Ji Liao, and his master?
Taking a deep look at Xu Jue, You Chi didn't ask any more questions, but said directly, "Okay, I'll go back and tell my master right away."
When You Chi returned to the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Juzheng had already finished packing.
No matter what news You Chi brought back, Zhang Juzheng had to go to the palace.
As the First Assistant Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Zhang Juzheng had to go to the palace when the Emperor was assassinated.
Moreover, Zhang Juzheng was the Emperor's teacher. From the perspective of caring for his student, he had to go to the palace.
"Master, Xu Jue said that the people in Dongchang have been interrogated. This man is called Wang Zhichen, the Commander-In-Chief of Ji Liao, Qi Jiguang's man."
You Chi was in such a hurry that he was a little out of breath when he spoke. But he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly said it out loud.
The Commander-In-Chief of Ji Liao, Qi Jiguang's man?
Zhang Juzheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Qi Jiguang would be involved in this matter.
This was called an undeserved disaster.
Even so, Zhang Juzheng's expression didn't change. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "What a cheap trick. But Feng Bao knows his limits. But I'm afraid I can't let you get what you want this time!"
Hearing this, You Chi was in a daze. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
"Don't think about it. Feng Bao is creating a favor." Zhang Juzheng didn't let You Chi think too much. He spoke first.
After getting the news, Zhang Juzheng was no longer in a hurry to go to the palace. He sat down and took a sip of tea. Then Zhang Juzheng said with a smile, "I'm afraid Feng Bao is waiting for me to beg him now!"
You Chi's expression changed. "Feng Bao is so arrogant that he wants Master to beg him?"
"Using Qi Jiguang as a hostage, why wouldn't Feng Bao dare to do it? This is called attacking the enemy's weakness."
Zhang Juzheng put down his teacup and said with a smile, "It's not that simple. He's threatening me."
"Feng Bao knows how important Qi Jiguang is and how much I value Qi Jiguang. He won't let Qi Jiguang get involved in such a case."
"Whether this is ordered or planned by Qi Jiguang or not, as long as the assassin is confirmed to be Qi Jiguang's man, Qi Jiguang won't be able to bear the consequences.
How could I watch Qi Jiguang get dragged into this?
Of course not. "
"Now that I'm in charge, peace in Guanhe is what I want. If the commander of Liao and Ji is involved, there won't be peace at the border!"
Hearing his grandfather's words, You Chi said directly, "This Feng Bao is so hateful. He should be killed!"
Glancing at You Chi, Zhang Juzheng said seriously, "Don't say such things in the future!"
When You Chi nodded, Zhang Juzheng said, "Besides, didn't Feng Bao send someone here to inform me?"
"Feng Bao is telling me that he doesn't want to fall out with me. He wants me to beg him and owe him a favor."
"His purpose is very simple. He wants me not to get involved in this matter and to stand by.
Since Qi Jiguang is involved, it might be a warning for me not to get involved. Otherwise, he will get my people involved. "
Looking at his master, You Chi really admired him. In such a short time, he had figured out Feng Bao's thoughts so thoroughly. You, Feng Bao, still want to go against my master? Dream on.
"Since Feng Bao wants to get involved, let's fight!" Zhang Juzheng reached out and slapped the table. "Let's go to the palace!"
In fact, there was one thing that Zhang Juzheng didn't say. There was another meaning behind Feng Bao's actions, but it was very vague. He wanted to reach out to the outer court.
This was also Feng Bao's way of telling him that he had the ability to involve the officials of the outer court.
However, Zhang Juzheng was not afraid. He had walked step by step and grown up through struggles. If he couldn't even figure out Feng Bao, how could he be the Grand Secretary?
When he was an official, it was the era when Yan Song was running amok. He learned thoroughly from his teacher, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng.
Later, there was the struggle between Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji, and the struggle between Gao Gong and Yin Shizhan. He had experienced all of them.
Compared to Yan Song and his teacher, Xu Jie, Feng Bao was nothing.
In the past, he had always been behind the scenes. Now that he was the Grand Secretary, he naturally had to step onto the stage.
Moreover, he didn't have enough prestige now. It was a good opportunity to use Feng Bao as a stepping stone. This was called killing the chicken to warn the monkey. If Feng Bao came knocking on his door, he couldn't blame him for being impolite.
