Chapter 18 Borrowing a knife to kill without blood
The Grand Tutor laughed in praise: "Young Master understands it so quickly, this is the essence!"
Zhu Yijun suddenly had an idea in his mind. He had just traveled through this time. Compared with these extremely smart civil and military ministers, my disadvantages were very obvious and I didn’t understand the actual situation and specific background.
But my disadvantages are also advantages. I have conditions that they do not have. This is because they are restricted in the game and do not recognize the true face of Mount Lu because they are in this mountain. And I am outside the game and can jump out of this circle to see the problem.
You must make good use of this advantage!
Thinking of this, he made up his mind and first said, "Then, please tell me about the current situation of the dilemma."
Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly and stood up: "The current dilemma is the most urgent thing about Concubine Zhang and the Minister of War Dai Cai. They hid in the dark and might use the fifth prince to attack at any time before ascending the throne; the most dangerous thing is Gao Gong. Although he is in the open, he is ambitious and wants to monopolize the power at any time and anywhere, and he is in power at the court and the country."
The young master smiled, stood up, and turned the book to the middle page: "Divine and merge, merge and divide. Analyzing the situation is a combination, seeking a solution is apart. How to solve this dilemma, is there any specific solution?"
Zhang Juzheng frowned: "Young Master hit the nail on the head, this is the most troublesome problem we have at present. To be honest, I have considered many solutions, but they are either too radical or too conservative. I have never come up with any particularly good strategies. At present, I can only wait for the situation to change and take one step at a time. I am disappointed Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yijun walked forward a few steps, turned slowly, stretched out a finger, and pointed to the "Thirty-Six Strategies" he had just turned over: "Please think about it, can we use this most dangerous thing to attack this most urgent thing, and then concentrate our efforts to deal with this most dangerous thing, and can make peace in the world in one fell swoop."
The extremely smart Zhang Juzheng understood the young master's words at once. He hurried to the table where the young master was standing just now, and saw that he turned out on the page, which said "Borrowing a knife to kill someone"!
Yes! Why didn't I expect this move to make this arrogant Gao Gong come forward for the young master and attack the Concubine Zhang and the Fifth Prince who want to turn the tables on the rise. They kill two birds with one stone. First remove a dangerous threat, then concentrate their efforts to isolate Gao Gong and put him to death!
Just like seeing the sun with clouds, Zhang Juzheng felt a strong shock in his heart. He suddenly knelt down in front of the young master: "My lord, my uncle was arrogant just now, and he thought he could teach the young master, but he didn't expect that the young master would actually want to be in front of me!"
Zhu Yijun helped Zhang Juzheng up: "Teacher! Don't say that. I just thought of it outside the room. This is called thinking from the perspective of others."
"Think from the perspective of others?" Zhang Juzheng thought about this "new word" from modern society: "Young master, uncle is going to execute what the young master said about killing people by borrowing a knife. I have been drinking in Gao Gong for two days, and I happened to invite him back today!"
After saying that, I bid farewell to the young master and left quickly.
...
Outside Zhang's mansion, Gao Gong's sedan just stopped.
Gao Gong didn't expect that Zhang Juzheng would be so sincere and would invite him so quickly. Considering that at this critical moment, the unity between the chief assistant and the secondary assistant was very important, he came happily as soon as he received the invitation.
Zhang Juzheng had been waiting at the door, and after a hustle and humble moment, he entered the hall and started drinking directly.
He poured himself a full cup first and held it up with both hands: "Prime Minister! If you have something to do, I must report first. After having a drink in the mansion yesterday, my brother's top-notch Yuzhu actually ran to my mansion privately. I saw that she was also a pitiful person, so I asked her to stay in the opposite courtyard. I called her here later and returned the jade to Zhao!"
Gao Gong smiled and waved his hand: "Uncle! Others are not trustworthy, you are absolutely trustworthy! Let me tell you the truth. Yesterday, the tiger in our family almost didn't eat me because of this top brand. I will leave this Yuzhu to you first. I will feel at 100 with you. When the gust of wind passes, I will find a secluded place to let the Yuzhu stay there and secretly take her. Do you think it is?"
Zhang Juzheng also smiled: "Then I have to take care of my brother, but my sister-in-law and wife want to use this to cause trouble for me, so I can't resist it. Come on! Brother! Uncle! I'll respect you!"
One cup after another!
When we were drinking the third round, Zhang Juzheng knew that it was almost done, so he stood up and sat down next to Gao Gong: "Brother, let's have a heart to share today. What do you think is the biggest difficulty we are facing now? To be honest!"
Gao Gong tilted his head and thought: "The biggest difficulty is that someone wants to make trouble while the young master is not firmly ascended the throne!"
Zhang Juzheng stretched out his thumb: "The chief assistant is the chief assistant. He can see the problem thoroughly and think about it from afar. However, the brothers have a choice for this troublemaker. Why don't we take a bet and write it on each of us to see if it's the same?"
Gao Gong laughed: "Okay, okay! This is good! Bet a thousand taels, if you write the same thing, you will win. If you write differently, even if I win!"
Zhang Juzheng ordered the paper and pen to be taken. Both of them turned around and quickly wrote a few strokes, covering the table, and then opened them together to see one with "Zhang, Zhao" and the other with "Zhao, Zhang".
"Hahaha!" The two of them looked at each other and laughed, Gao Gong grinned and laughed: "I lost, I lost!"
Zhang Juzheng filled another cup of respect Gao Gong: "Brother! We bet on winning or losing is just a joke, but it seems that this is the most obvious thing. They want to support the fifth prince Zhu Cunxiao and become independent. If they succeed, I, the prince's tutor, and you, the late emperor, will not be able to escape! I may be a little better. At most, I will be removed from my position and let me go back to a private school to teach, but you, the chief minister, will definitely not let you go, and I will have to skin you!"
Gao Gong threw the wine cup to the ground and broke it. The wine in the cup spilled all over the floor: "They dare!"
Zhang Juzheng hurried over and pulled him and told him to whisper.
But he climbed on Zhang Juzheng's shoulder and whispered: "Uncle! Actually, I have already had their handle in my hand. Do you believe it, Uncle?"
Zhang Juzheng said in his heart, but said, "Brother! You are amazing, do you have any tips to tell me?"
"Haha, uncle, let me tell you, but it's a long story. I'll tell you that tomorrow morning, I want them to look good! Hahaha!"
After Gao Gong said this, his tongue was already too big, and the butler Zhang Wenjin had to come and support him.
Zhang Juzheng gave a thumbs up: "The chief assistant is the chief assistant, then I'll wait for the show tomorrow!"
...
For the whole day, Zhu Yijun stayed quietly in the study, and even asked Feng Bao to send lunch to the study to eat.
Concubine Li came to the East Palace and heard Feng Bao say that the young master kept locking him in the study, and nodding with joy.
Parents always hope that their children will be motivated and always worry that they are not mature enough.
Standing outside the study and looking for a while, she decided not to go in and disturb her son. She secretly went to see Liu Yiming, the "anti-espionage" who had been instigated. With the treatment of the imperial physician Wang Jishi, he recovered very quickly.
Another good news. After a simple walk, she went back happily.
Zhu Yijun was recorded by the historian all morning, and he felt a little dizzy when he saw traditional Chinese characters.
After lunch, he sniffed on the table for a while, and in a daze, he touched the book on the table to the ground, making a "bang" sound, and he was awakened suddenly.
Zhu Yijun opened his eyes and gradually woke up. When he picked up the book and put it back on the bookshelf, he accidentally touched the handle of a drawer.
The drawer was touched a crack, revealing the yellow paper page inside.
What is this? He pulled open the drawer and took out the pages inside, and immediately became interested.
This is actually a secret note from various officials who participated in others.
You are involved in me, I am involved in him, and he is involved in you, forming a cycle.
The only one who has not been involved in this is the Emperor.
But the emperor can see them attacking each other and criticizing each other.
At this moment, he understood a word, "check and balance".
With these materials for reference, the emperor can master the life of each minister and use their mutual relationship to create a balance among the ministers.
This is the art of the emperor!
As I looked at it, I couldn't help but forget the time. What makes people feel strange is that there are more participating Zhang Juzheng and Secret Leaves than Gao Gong, and there are many participating Feng Bao.
It seems that Gao Gong has been wary of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao joining forces to rely on him.
Moreover, he is obviously at the top of the secret battles in the court, and even uses his tough skills to influence other ministers.
I have to find a way to break this situation!
Just when he was fascinated by the sight, Feng Bao coughed outside, alarmed him. Opening the door, Feng Bao handed over a small bamboo tube: "Young Master, Taifu Zhang Juzheng's secret note."
Open it and look at it, "The Master! The knife has been borrowed. Gao Gong will kill Concubine Zhang and Dai Cai in the court tomorrow!"
Zhu Yijun smiled, stretched, and followed Feng Bao to the yard.
"Feng Bao, teach me a few tricks to practice your body!"
Feng Bao thought the young master was having fun while talking, but he refused a few times and found that he couldn't push it off. He really wanted to learn martial arts. He couldn't help but smile and taught him the simplest horse stance, but he didn't expect that he would learn it well.
Zhu Yijun signaled Feng Bao to push himself and try it.
Feng Bao smiled and gently pushed him disapprovingly. However, he didn't push!
Feng Bao was shocked, his fingers were closed together, and he exerted his strength secretly. The young master didn't stop and took several steps back. Just when he was about to fall, Feng Baoyi reached out to hold him and showed him a demonstration. The knee bend was flush within the range of his toes, and then pointed to his stomach.
The young master quickly understood, and told him to sink his qi into the dantian! It was even more so when he squatted down according to the key points of this movement. Even Feng Bao nodded constantly with appreciation...
Chapter completed!
