Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 122 Pigs, dogs and beasts Zhang Juzheng? Gu Xiancheng is extremely arrogant!
"Uncle Gu, didn't you already come to Beijing yesterday? Why did you come so late?"

Zou Yuanbiao sounded reproachful, but he stepped forward early, patted the dead weeds on Gu Xiancheng's robe, and complained again:

"Where did you go to a dirty place? Why do you still smell weird?"

As if he had long been accustomed to such caring voices, Gu Xiancheng laughed, waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"Erzhan, your nose is really good. You can smell this. To be honest, I went to the imperial prison."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned!
There was no time to do the 'long time no see' courtesy. Guo Zhengyu was the first to ask: "Uncle Shi, why did you go to the imperial prison?"

Gu Xiancheng replied naturally: "Of course I want to see Zhang Taiyue's grandson."

"Are you crazy?" Zou Yuanbiao said strangely again: "That kid has been sent to death by the Holy Will, and there are so many lawsuits about him! Even if you want to inquire about something, you can't just go to jail in the open! What if you are imprisoned by the emperor? What should I do if I know!"

Faced with Zou Yuanbiao's worries, Gu Xiancheng didn't care at all, and even smiled and said: "Erzhan, there is no chance now, the emperor already knows!"

Gu Xiancheng's "irregular" appearance made Zou Yuanbiao's teeth so angry.

Shen Li was even more surprised and asked: "Is it possible that Wang Xijue also wants to be the next Yan Song?"

Guo Zhengyu said first: "I know Shen Yiguan's character best. In order to achieve his goal, he doesn't even have to lose his face, so he really dares to 'become the king'!"

However, this is not a rare thing. Ever since the two became acquainted, Zou Yuanbiao would be so angry at Gu Xiancheng from time to time, but he could only do nothing.

Guo Zhengyu glanced at Zou Yuanbiao first, and saw that the other party was not angry because of it, and then he calmly answered:
"Who said Erzhan gave in? Our Erzhan dared to directly go to Shu and call Zhang Taiyue a 'pig, dog, and beast'!"

Gu Xiancheng did not explain, but only asked: "Why don't we let him offend the emperor?"

After all, after Zou Yuanbiao scolded Zhang Juzheng in Shangshu for being a "pig, dog, and beast", the angry Zhang Shoufu immediately ordered Zou Yuanbiao to be beaten with a stick eighty times. Afterwards, Zou Yuanbiao was exiled to the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou, where he ate for six full years. Fungi.

Indeed, Zou Yuanbiao also received a lot of praise for this. Although his momentum was not as good as that of Hai Rui, who carried the coffin to admonish him, he still became famous.

"Okay, let's talk about business." Zou Yuanbiao stopped the topic and asked about business: "Uncle Shi, what did you ask about when you went to the prison?"

In this way, he actually dares to brag about himself as an 'extraordinary' person. In the eyes of the people of the world, Zhang Taiyue's behavior is really a loss of conscience. He is a pig, dog, and beast. Can he be called an extraordinary person? "

Gu Xiancheng shook his head and said: "Although Wang Xijue did not propose the plan of conferring three kings on one, he does support it!"

"Well, the emperor's informants are everywhere in the prison, so we can only talk about this." Gu Xiancheng ended the topic hastily and asked instead:

Seeing that Zou Yuanbiao, who had always been 'tough', compromised like this, Guo Zhengyu, who was just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, laughed loudly and said:

"Yes, no matter what the reason is, these three kings can never be crowned together!" Zou Yuanbiao clapped his fists.

"Oh?" Gu Xiancheng raised his eyebrows and said directly, "Bringing up old things again," "Isn't there another Uncle Zhang?"

However, this was in the Ming Dynasty. Officials of the Ming Dynasty were proud of being punished and proud of being exiled. Naturally, this must be done on the premise of daring to resist power, not on the premise of ransacking homes and committing crimes.

Moreover, you all have mistaken your 'opponent'. Our opponent is not Shen Yiguan, but Wang Xijue! "

After Gu Xiancheng received the letter, he scanned the contents in a few seconds, but he asked in surprise: "Why do you care so much about the simultaneous sealing of these three kings?"

"What were you talking about just now? Why did I see all of you with dark faces when I just came in?"

However, Gu Xiancheng directly broke the story and said: "That's wrong, that is Beizhen Fusi Prison, a royal prison. Now anyone can go in and visit the prison. This just proves that the emperor cares about this matter very much and cares about it all the time." !”

"No." Gu Xiancheng shook his head and said, "Wang Xijue wants to be the next Zhang Juzheng!"

As soon as these words came out, all three of them were shocked!

Such a 'glorious deed' would have been somewhat of a 'black history' at other times.

"That's all. The fact that you were able to enter the imperial prison means that the emperor doesn't care about this matter." Zou Yuanbiao could only console himself.

"You kid! You're not happy that I'm trying to make up for you, are you?" Zou Yuanbiao was so angry that he wanted to hit Gu Xiancheng. This 'troll' with extremely 'harmful' power was now made angry by Gu Xiancheng. Hummed:
"When I looked at you, Uncle Gu, you were sent by God to make me angry on purpose!"

Gu Xiancheng put away his unserious smile, but only replied: "I didn't ask anything, so I just chatted with that guy about the idea of ​​opening an academy."

Guo Zhengyu also asked: "So Uncle Shi, how can we make these three kings jointly seal the throne? Can't they continue to seal it?"

Zou Yuanbiao does not think that his "black history" is indecent, but feels that it is extremely glorious.

"My fault, my fault." Gu Xiancheng admitted his mistake with a smile: "Erzhan, don't be angry again. If you are really angry, just beat me. I promise not to fight back."

"Wang Xijue?" Guo Zhengyu was puzzled: "Why Wang Xijue? The plan of conferring three kings into one was not proposed by Wang Xijue."

"Hahaha! Well done! Well done!" Gu Xiancheng laughed several times, seemingly very happy. After the joke was over, he said with unclear meaning: "Well done..."

"Ah?" Guo Zhengyu was even more puzzled: "He is already the chief minister of the cabinet now. There is no need to offend hundreds of officials because of this nonsense that everyone is shouting about, right?"

"Let me think about it..." Guo Zhengyu said with a thoughtful look on his face:
"Er Zhan said that only those who abide by the five moral ethics of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust can be called human beings. However, Zhang Taiyue failed to fulfill his filial piety when his parents were alive, and even did not go to the funeral when his parents died.

"The only person in this world who can make Zou Erzhan surrender is probably you, Uncle Gu, hahaha!"

"First there are extraordinary people in the world, and then they can do extraordinary things." Gu Xiancheng suddenly asked: "Zhang Shuda said this back then, why did Erzhan scold him?"

If Shen Yiguan succeeds in this 'three kings' conferment, then there will be no place for us in this court. "

"Oh, it's not that three kings." Zou Yuanbiao sighed, handed the 'threatening letter' sent by Luo Sigong to Gu Xiancheng, and said:
"Now the merger of the three kings is imminent, and Yu Shenxing has left again, leaving Shen Yiguan alone in the Ministry of Rites.

Shen Li also added: "The merger of the three kings is originally Zhang Chonghui and the people behind him. In order to support Shen Guanyin, they will do anything to achieve their goals, even if it means becoming the next Yan Song!"

Seeing the nervous and serious expressions of the three of them, Gu Xiancheng smiled nonchalantly and said:
"You are exaggerating. The simultaneous sealing of the three kings is not a problem at all. We don't need to care about it at all.

Zou Yuanbiao was also helpless by Gu Xiancheng's 'rascal', so he had to compromise again and sighed: "Oh, there is really nothing I can do against you."

As soon as these words came out, thunder sounded like thunder on the ground, and the three of them were shocked into silence!
Gu Xiancheng folded the 'threat letter' neatly and said:

"Ah?" Zou Yuanbiao frowned: "What kind of academy can you open? You went to prison just to talk to that kid about this?"

"It is impossible to seal the three kings at the same time. Even if Shen Yiguan is so mad and dares to go all out to seal it, he will be used as a spearman by Wang Xijue.

By then, Shen Yiguan not only suffered infamy from all over the world, but also offended the emperor's eldest son. Soon, he had to get out of the court.

And by that time, Wang Xijue, the chief minister of the cabinet, will not only be out of touch, but also firmly occupy the position of chief minister of the cabinet. "

By this time, Gu Xiancheng had already folded the letter and handed it back to Shen Li. At the same time, he said seriously:

"So, our enemy is not Shen Yiguan, but Wang Xijue! Once he secures his position as chief assistant, he will definitely make big moves! It is not impossible to pass the imperial examination and return to the court by then!"

Shen Li was stunned. After receiving the letter suddenly, he asked: "So, what should we do?"

Gu Xiancheng smiled and said quietly: "Then the blame for proposing the 'simultaneous sealing of three kings' trick will be placed on Wang Xijue, the chief minister of the cabinet!"

Shen Li understood immediately and said hurriedly: "I will contact our people right away and let this matter go!"

Seeing that Shen Li was about to start working in a hurry, Gu Xiancheng stopped him and said:

"Zhonghua, don't be anxious. I have already contacted you in advance. Now not only the court officials on the Shuntian side know about this matter, but also 'Ye Jinqing' on the Yingtian side and their impeachment memorial against Wang Xijue will soon be handed over to the cabinet. ”

As soon as this statement came out, the three of them were all shocked!

"What?" Guo Zhengyu was already stunned: "No, Ying Tian knew it and didn't say anything. Even the memorial to impeach Wang Xijue has been written? Is it about to be handed over to the cabinet?"

"Yeah." Gu Xiancheng nodded.

Guo Zhengyu asked again in shock: "Although Ye Jinqing is the same age as me, he has always been in the Yingtian Kingdom Sub-Prisoner. When did you meet him? He has always been an eccentric person who goes his own way. Can he be trusted?"

Gu Xiancheng only replied: "It doesn't matter whether he is reliable or not. What matters is that he doesn't want to stay in Yingtian Mansion. He really wants to go back to Shuntian Mansion."

Guo Zhengyu didn't ask any more about 'Ye Xianggao', who was of the same year, but to be honest, although he and Ye Xianggao were both Jinshi in the 11th year of Wanli, he didn't like Ye Xianggao.

At the same time, Zou Yuanbiao also asked in surprise: "Uncle Shi, you have been away from home all the time. The issue of the merger of the three kings has only been fermented in these days. How on earth did you predict the unknown?" Gu Xiancheng did not give a detailed explanation. , just said: "There is no such thing as foretelling, it's just planning first and then taking action, planning earlier."

"Isn't it too early for you to plan?" Guo Zhengyu couldn't help but ask again.

"Ha, it's getting late." Gu Xiancheng smiled lightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile:

"Those who cannot plan for the eternity cannot plan for the moment. If you plan for the moment, sometimes it is to plan for the eternity."

Zou Yuanbiao couldn't help but pat Gu Xiancheng's shoulder and praised: "It must be your Uncle Gu!"

"Then what?" Shen Li asked: "Don't you need to worry about Zhang Chonghui? What should we do with this letter sent by Luo Sigong?"

Faced with Shen Li's question, Gu Xiancheng did not answer. Instead, he looked at the other party with a scrutinizing gaze and asked:

"Zhonghua, what else did Zhang Chonghui say to you? What is his real purpose?"

Shen Li suddenly became speechless...

Looking at Gu Xiancheng's scrutinizing eyes, Shen Li could only 'tell the truth' in the end, and said rather helplessly:
"It's not that I want to hide it from you, it's just Zhang Chonghui's big words, it's too much nonsense.

When he came to me to borrow money, in addition to telling me that Shen Guanguan would soon 'join the ministry', he also asked me if I wanted to join the cabinet.

He said that if I want to join the cabinet, then...help his grandfather Zhang Juzheng...rehabilitate..."

"What? Rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng?" Guo Zhengyu was the first to express surprise:
"I think Zhang Chonghui is really crazy! How dare he even think about such a thing? Doesn't he want us to slap the emperor in the face?
What is his purpose? Who is the person behind him? Is it Shen Shixing? What do they want to do? "

Guo Zhengyu's extremely excited series of questions confused Shen Li and Zou Yuanbiao.

Gu Xiancheng was silent for a moment, and soon he said: "It's not Shen Shixing, this is not in line with his temperament."

Zou Yuanbiao's face didn't look good, but he gave a soft "hmm".

It can be seen that Zou Yuanbiao has very complicated feelings for the teacher Shen Shixing. After all, he once did the same thing as Yu Shenxing, who stabbed the teacher in the back...

"It's not Shen Shixing? Who else could it be? Yu Shenxing? But behind Yu Shenxing is also Shen Shixing!" Guo Zhengyu asked excitedly again.

Facing the excited Guo Zhengyu, Gu Xiancheng only asked slowly: "Why does there have to be someone behind Zhang Chonghui? Can't it be him?"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Zhengyu became even more excited, and retorted quite normally: "How is that possible! He is only thirteen years old, and he is still just a child!"

This time, Gu Xiancheng didn't explain anything. He ignored Guo Zhengyu's refutation and turned to Shen Li:

"Zhong Hua, you should immediately go to Emperor Shu to impeach Zhang Jianxiu, a descendant of the Zhang family, for his recent frequent 'harassment' of ministers in the capital, and submit this threatening letter to the Emperor."

Although Shen Li didn't quite understand why he did this, he nodded and said, "Okay."

"So..." Guo Zhengyu asked, "We won't save Zhang Chonghui?"

"No." Gu Xiancheng shook his head: "We are saving him by doing this!"

Zou Yuanbiao raised doubts and said: "We don't seem to need to save this Zhang Chonghui, right? What if Shen Shixing is behind him? Shen Shixing has already fallen. Not to mention Wang Xijue, he and the Zhang family have always been incompatible. Let's do this , didn’t you offend Wang Xijue in disguise?”

Gu Xiancheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Erzhan, you take things too simply. Zhang Chonghui is about to die now. If he can't come out, all of us will be dragged into the water by him."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zou Yuanbiao frowned: "It's just a thirteen-year-old kid, what a big deal it can be!"

Gu Xiancheng did not explain, but looked at Shen Li again and asked, "Zhong Hua, what do you think?"

At this time, Shen Li had already noticed something was wrong. When Gu Xiancheng asked him this question while he was thinking, his eyes suddenly flashed and he remembered something!
Almost as if he had been 'scalded', Shen Li subconsciously threw the 'threatening letter' in his hand to the ground!

"Luo Sigong..." Shen Li said with fear on his face: "Luo Sigong is a guard... This letter was sent by him personally..."

"What's wrong?" Guo Zhengyu didn't understand why Shen Li was suddenly so excited. He was about to reach out to pick up the 'threatening letter', but when he was bending down, he suddenly reacted!

At the same time, Zou Yuanbiao also reacted!

The three of them stared at the letter on the ground in panic. A terrible fact was "naked" in front of them!

"Have you come to your senses?" Gu Xiancheng looked at the three stunned 'accomplices', bent down to pick up the letter on the ground, and said with a smile:

"In this so-called 'threatening letter', who is threatening Luo Sigong? What he is threatening is us!

Zhang Taiyue's fourth son has visited the homes of all the courtiers in the capital. This matter has long been known to everyone.

Now Luo Sigong has sent us a letter. If we act according to this letter and make no comment, how will 'they' treat us?

What will the emperor think of us? How will Shen Guanguan impeach us then? "

"Of course..." Zou Yuanbiao said solemnly: "Of course it's to impeach us for covering up the Zhang family's crimes and slander us as members of the Zhang Party..."

"But I don't understand." Guo Zhengyu wondered: "If we impeach Zhang Taiyue's fourth son like this, how can this help save Zhang Chonghui? Isn't this adding chaos?"

"Stupid." Gu Xiancheng scolded Guo Zhengyu with a smile and said, "My good life, I have really become a lot stupider after not seeing you for a few years. You can't just look at things on the surface, but on their essence. You only saw Zhang Jianxiu coming to bribe and harass the ministers in the capital. On this surface, have you ever thought about why Zhang Jianxiu wanted to bribe them? What is the purpose? "

"What's the purpose?" Guo Zhengyu no longer cares about being scolded as stupid, he just wants to get the answer quickly.

Gu Xiancheng said: "Zhang Chonghui, the only one in the Zhang family's eldest family, is sentenced to death because of the demon book. What do you think Zhang Chonghui's uncle wants to do by bribing the ministers?"

"Do you want to... cause a big incident and use the power of public opinion to force the emperor to release Zhang Chonghui?" Guo Zhengyu asked.

Gu Xiancheng nodded, but then shook his head and said, "Yes, but it's definitely more than that."

"What else is there?" Guo Zhengyu asked again.

This time, Gu Xiancheng, who seemed to know everything, frowned and said in confusion: "I don't know either."

"Ah...ah?" Guo Zhengyu didn't expect this answer. After all, he was still angry. Guo Zhengyu couldn't help but blame: "Uncle Shi, you don't even know it yourself, but you have the nerve to call me stupid? I think you are the stupid one!"

Gu Xiancheng was not angry at all. Instead, he admitted with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm stupid."

With such a shameless behavior, Guo Zhengyu could only be speechless...

Shen Li didn't dwell on this matter. He just wanted to do what he needed to do quickly, so he asked, "Uncle Shi, is there anything else we need to do now?"

"Of course." Gu Xiancheng responded immediately, recalling the words he had 'discussed' with Zhang Chonghui in prison not long ago, and he revealed his next plan:
"We still want to go to Emperor Shu! Please let the eldest son of the emperor come out of the cabinet! Study!"

"Going out of the pavilion to study? This..." Shen Li was embarrassed: "Letting the emperor's eldest son go out of the pavilion to study, but doesn't leaving the pavilion to study means that he has to register first? We..."

"That's right." Gu Xiancheng's tone was unquestionable, and he directly helped Shen Li say the words that were "hard to say" and said:
"We are forcing the emperor to establish the throne first! We are forcing our emperor and father to establish the crown prince!"

When Gu Xiancheng said this, his eyes were full of determination to win!
In fact, this person still has an "arrogant statement" in his heart that he has yet to say——

——"Your Majesty, it's time for you to obey!"

……

Imprisonment.

Zhang Chonghui no longer knew how many people this was who came to visit the prison.

The Fusi Prison in Beizhen, which had always been strictly disciplined and surrounded like an iron barrel, had recently become like a brothel with its doors open to 'receive guests', and anyone could come and see Zhang Chonghui.

Emperor Wanli seemed to want this thirteen-year-old 'boy' to starve to death in front of everyone in such a humiliating way so that he could be at ease.

"Excuse me, do I know you?"

Looking at the 'new' stranger who came to visit the prison, Zhang Chonghui asked questions.
