Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 413
"As soon as you go up to the high city, you will be sad for thousands of miles. The reeds and willows are like Tingzhou. The clouds rise at the beginning of the stream and the sun sinks, and the mountain rain is about to come. The wind fills the building. The birds are green and the Qinyuan is evening, and the cicadas are singing yellow leaves. The Wei River flows from the east."

Standing on the top floor of the main building of Jianxinzhai, looking at the surrounding fields in the suburbs of Beijing with the approaching spring rain, Gao Yushi chanted softly.

In front of him, Guo Pu was holding a cup of hot tea, without raising his eyelids, he sneered and said, "You kid, why do you pretend to be so emotional, the rain is about to come and the building is full of wind? Ha... ...Isn't it you who stretched out the hand that stirred up the situation? Didn't you plan this mountain rain for a long time?"

Gao Wushi was stunned and said, "Where is it?"

Without saying a word, Guo Pu grabbed the paperweight on the table and made a gesture to hit it.Gao Wushi quickly put away his astonishment, bowed and bowed with a smile on his face, and begged for mercy: "Teacher, please calm down, teacher, please calm down... This Shan Yu, uh, has the students' strength."

"Crack!" Guo Pu smashed the paperweight back on the table, with a look of disdain on his face: "One strength? When you said that, didn't you feel guilty?"

Gao Wushi smiled wryly, and said in a self-deprecating way: "Okay, okay, let's share the effort, and the students will monopolize [-]%, so it's all over, right?"

Guo Pu looked at him carefully, then sighed suddenly, and said softly, "Where did you learn these methods? I didn't teach you these, and Su Qing certainly couldn't teach you these, you..." Speaking of which , sighed again, put the teacup on the table, looking gloomy.

Gao Wushi coughed dryly, and said, "This was not taught by humans, it was all forced out."

Guo Pu glanced at him but didn't make a sound, obviously waiting for his explanation.

Gao Wushi then said: "Teacher, we have already discussed what Mr. Zhang Ge has done these years, so there is no need to go into details. In short, he is definitely not a person who is willing to be inferior to others, and his temperament seems to be calm. But he is extremely impatient, and if he is asked to wait to take the position step by step, he will definitely refuse. Otherwise, how could Feng Bao and him hit it off so quickly?"

"As for Feng Bao, needless to say, he used power for personal gain, arranged for his brother and nephew to be officials, and accepted bribes wantonly. He even sent a letter to Mr. Zhang Ge last time, and Mr. Zhang had to give it to him later. He gave back 5000 taels of silver, which can be described as insatiable greed...Of course, eunuchs are greedy for money, as long as they don't mess with the government, we can tolerate it. But he used public tools indiscriminately, and without the emperor's permission, he sent Dongchang Fanzi to investigate Ministers of the imperial court, nobles from generation to generation, this is tantamount to treason!"

Gao Yushi's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "Now that he has no power yet, he has such guts. In the future... Hey, it's no problem to turn a deer into a horse."

Isn't it true that Gao Gong has been framed in history and has returned to his hometown, and Feng Bao also concocted a case of Minister Wang out of nothing, insisting on putting Gao Gong to death.Isn't that case a typical trickery?Even Zhang Juzheng was almost tricked by his pig teammate—later Zhang Juzheng's students jumped back and broke with Zhang Juzheng one after another, and some of them talked about Zhang Juzheng's improper attitude in the case of Minister Wang.

Guo Pu stopped talking, he knew the meaning of Gao Yushi's words - it was certain that Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng joined forces, so Feng Bao used the power of Dongchang to investigate the "Gao Party" and various nobles. Maybe there is no shadow of Zhang Juzheng. It is not unreasonable for Gao Yushi to say that he was forced to fight back.

In addition, Feng Bao may have even planned to assassinate Gao Yushi, which made Guo Pu even more angry-a mere eunuch, so daring and reckless!

In Guo Pu's eyes, or even in the eyes of any civil servant, Feng Bao's behavior is absolutely intolerable.

If you dare to assassinate Gao Yushi today, you will dare to assassinate Gao Gong tomorrow!How dare you be a rootless slave!

Although he only assassinated Gao Yushi, a non-staff civil servant, in the eyes of the civil officials, this was a direct provocation to the majesty of the entire civil official group!
Therefore, Guo Pu nodded at this time.

Then he remembered one more thing and asked, "By the way, there is one thing that I forgot to ask you before—whose idea was it to let the Ministry of War investigate Qi Jiguang by itself? You, or Su Qing?"

Gao Wushi didn't hesitate, and replied directly: "Sanbo also agrees with the student's idea."

Guo Pu frowned: "You should know that Qi Jiguang is Zhang Juzheng's most trusted military official. If you ask the Ministry of War to investigate him, can Zhang Juzheng not protect him?"

Gao Wushi smiled and asked: "The teacher thinks the students are unnecessary?" He paused, but without waiting for Guo Pu's answer, he continued: "Let the students guess: the teacher may think that for Qi Jiguang, we either Just don’t move him at all so that Zhang Ge won’t be nervous; or just beat him to death with a stick so that he won’t be more determined to circle around Zhang Ge?”

Guo Pu didn't speak, but judging from his expression, it was obvious that Gao Yushi's guess was right.

Gao Wushi showed a little bit of embarrassment, and thought for a while before saying, "Qi Jiguang is...very contradictory."

"Oh?" Guo Pu is actually not very interested in Qi Jiguang, but he is very interested in Gao Yushi's expression. This student who he evaluates as "excessively calculating" seldom appears embarrassed—he is real The calculation is too much, and he does not let go of any possibility when calculating, and prepares the plan as carefully as possible for each possibility, so he rarely has such "difficulties".

Gao Wushi said: "Actually, the students didn't send anyone to investigate Qi Jiguang's collection of money, but it's probably true."

Guo Pu said without hesitation: "Then arrest, what is admonition?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said seriously: "But the money he collected did not fall into his pocket."

Guo Pu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is it all for Zhang Juzheng?"

"That's not true." Gao Wushi explained: "He must often give gifts to Mr. Zhang Ge, needless to say, but that's not all, and it doesn't even account for his 'accepting bribes' and 'fake military pay'. most."

"How to say?"

Gao Wushi scratched his head and said: "The students heard that Qi Jiguang once recruited 2000 people when he was in Zhejiang, but he reported to the imperial court that he received 500 military salaries—actually took 500 military salaries."

Guo Pu's face sank, and he asked seriously: "Is there such a thing? Has no one impeached it?"

"It's not easy to impeach." Gao Wushi spread his hands, "Here, he 'falsely claimed' the military pay of 500 soldiers. He didn't keep a cent of it himself, and all of them were raised by soldiers."

Guo Pu was stunned: "For the military pay of 500 people, he only supported 2000 people? Does that mean that the people under him were corrupt and deceived him? This guy can't even account for this?"

Gao Wushi chuckled and waved his hands again and again: "Teacher misunderstood, this has nothing to do with arithmetic, but it's really so expensive for him to raise soldiers."

At the moment, Gao Wushi gave Guo Pu a general account of Qi Jiguang's training and raising soldiers and even building ordnance, etc. After hearing this, Guo Pu suddenly realized: "So that's it. Immediately asked again: "But this does not explain your approach."

Gao Wushi sighed: "Qi Jiguang is still capable, and Qi Jiguang is irreplaceable in terms of military training. Since he did not do these things for personal gain, it is understandable. Intention, in fact, it was intentional."

"On purpose?" Guo Pu frowned: "You deliberately let Zhang Juzheng know that you are going to touch him?"

Gao Wushi spread his hands again: "Even if you don't do this, can't Mr. Zhang Ge see it? The students just let him be more sure."

Guo Pu's brows furrowed deeper, and he said in a deep voice: "What you said is not untrue. With Zhang Juzheng's strategy, you can naturally see how dangerous you are, but what is the significance of what you do? ? Let him make sure...huh? Wait!"

Guo Pu's complexion changed, his eyes rolled continuously, and he suddenly said, "Sounds like this?"

Gao Wushi laughed: "Teacher's eyes are like a torch, and he can see thousands of miles clearly."

　Huh... It seems that I really can't speed up recently. Today, I even looked back at the chapter four hours ago to clear my mind.I really don't want to make the protagonist's opponent stupid, there has to be a back and forth to be interesting.The two sides have been fighting for so long, and there is Emperor Longqing watching coldly. I feel that if I ignore it, I am afraid that I will be dazzled by their various small thoughts.
