When Emperor Ming muzong died, Gao Gong was deeply saddened, and when the Wanli Emperor was still young, Gao Gong said: "Ten-year-old Tianzi, how to rule the world." There is no problem with this sentence itself, and when it reaches the harem, this sentence becomes "Ten-year-old child, how to be a master." ”
Gao Gong was the first assistant of the cabinet during the Ming Muzong period, a high position of power, and the emperor was also a teacher and friend, the old emperor died, the new emperor was still small, and the most likely problem at this time was that the power was in charge. Ming Muzong once relied heavily on the high arch, but by this time he had died, and in front of orphans and widows, the high arch was a threat.
Feng Bao deliberately distorted Gao Gong's words, and passed them to the ears of Li Guifei and Empress Chen, and the harem intended to dismiss Gao Gong's officials, and finally Gao Gong got the end of returning home and idling. Gao Gong listened to the edict, sweating profusely in shock, and paralyzed on the ground. Behind all this there are two initiators, one is Zhang Juzheng, and the other is the grand eunuch Feng Bao.
A generation of famous courtiers and high arches were so confused and knocked down, of course, Zhang Juzheng did not want to let go of the high arch, but also wanted to die. As his name suggests, Gao Gongren has an extremely stubborn personality, and he knows well what Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao have done, even if they die, he will take revenge.
To this end, before dying, Gao Gong wrote a suicide note, the content of the suicide note is all about the "crime" of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong's idea is very clear, even if he dies, he must pull on several cushions.
The Wang Chancellor incident could not implicate Qi Jiguang
On the nineteenth day of the first month of the first year of the Wanli Calendar, the little emperor of Wanli came out of the Qianqing Palace and saw an internal attendant who was afraid of his head and tail, obviously not like a serious eunuch, so he ordered someone to go to inquire and found that it was an impersonation.
This brother who bravely entered the Qianqing Palace, named Wang Chancellor, whose real name was Wang Zhanglong, shaved off his beard, put on the clothes of an internal attendant, and appeared in the inner courtyard of the palace, the specific purpose of which is unknown.
According to the "Last Words of the Sick Bed", "Ask his name, the king's minister (real name Zhang Long)." Asked He Zilai, he knew that he had come from the general soldier Qi Jiguang. When Zhang Juzheng of the Cabinet heard about it, he urgently dispatched people to secretly call Bao Yue: "Why call Qi Zongbing, forbidden to repeat words, this self-efficacy can be borrowed, in order to curse the Gao clan to extinguish the mouth." ”
Feng Bao was in charge of the East Factory, and naturally the case fell to him, and according to interrogation, Wang Chancellor came from the troops of the general Qi Jiguang and was a deserter. Whether it was a deserter in Qi Jiguang's army, we don't know, but Zhang Juzheng immediately secretly told Feng Bao not to let him mention Qi Jiguang again.
Qi Jiguang is Zhang Juzheng's confidant, and he is a major general in the border pass, and if Qi Jiguang is involved, it is possible to get him on Zhang Juzheng's head, and this must be put an end to.
Zhang Juzheng thought about it for a moment, Gao Gong is now going home to idle, why not take this opportunity to buckle the helmet on Gao Gong's head and kill him. So Zhang Juzheng secretly ordered Feng Bao to investigate the case and take the opportunity to frame Gao Gong.
There are many flaws, and Feng Bao is not doing things well
In fact, since this Wang Chancellor was arrested, his ending has been arranged, if Gao Gong is successfully framed, Wang Chancellor will certainly be killed and killed, and if Gao Gong's counterattack is successful, Wang Chancellor will still be a political victim worthless, or a dead end.
According to the "Last Words of the Sick Bed", "When Wang Chancellor was in prison, he accompanied his confidant Xin Ru to reward him with twenty-two pieces of silver, so that he and Wang Chancellor would live day and night, share his diet, and cause the old envoys of the High Cabinet to carry out assassinations." ”
Feng Bao arranged for someone to get along with Wang Chancellor day and night, and promised that as long as gao gong was framed, he would be able to go to the high-ranking official Houlu. As a result, the confession of the chancellor was changed and became a conspiracy to assassinate the emperor at the behest of gao gong.
Although Gao Gong's personality is relatively arrogant, after all, he has been the first assistant of the cabinet for several years, and there are also some forces in the DPRK, and the old ministers Yang Bo, Yushi Ge Shouli and others help him run in many ways and find ways to rescue him.
Yang Bo and the others thought of a way to let Minister Wang identify the high arch, and since the confession of the minister said that the high arch was directed, then he must have recognized the high arch. So under Yang Bo's arrangement, Gao Gong and some servants stood together, pulled out The Wang Chancellor, and ordered him to point out the High Arch, and the Wang Chancellor had never seen the Gao Gong at all, how could he recognize it.
Therefore, under the pressure of Yang Bo and others, Zhang Juzheng had to let the legal department jointly try the case. Before the trial of the case, Minister Wang was first beaten to the board, and this time Minister Wang stopped doing it and shouted loudly: "Originally, he said that he would do it with my officials and enjoy eternal wealth, how to beat me?" ”
Feng Bao continued to ask, "Who made you come?" Minister Wang's eyes widened and he said, "You made me come, don't you know, but you asked me again?" ”
Feng Bao's face was all blue, and he could only ask again: "You said yesterday that Elder Gao Ge made you come to assassinate the imperial court, why don't you say it today?" Minister Wang replied, "You taught me, how did I ever recognize Elder Gao Ge?" ”
Because Feng Bao's work was not in place, or Yang Bo and Ge Shouli had done too well in their work, Wang Chancellor actually changed his confession again, and Feng Bao had no choice but to suspend the interrogation. In such a field, it is impossible to frame the high arch.
It didn't work, and Gao Gong laughed to the end
Yang Bo once questioned Zhang Juzheng why he wanted to frame Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng of course did not admit it, so Yang Bo asked for a confession from Wang Chancellor. Yang Boke was an old official Shangshu, who had been in charge of personnel affairs for many years, according to the words of Mr. Shan Tianfang, the eyelashes were empty, and when he picked up the confession and looked at it, he immediately found the clue.
On this confession, there are four words "historical evidence", Yang Bo recognized at a glance, this is Zhang Juzheng's pen, Yang Bo took this confession to question Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng was dumbfounded for a while.
The case was handled to such an extent, not only did not frame Gao Gong, but on the contrary, he provoked a commotion, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao could only stop here, in order to prevent Wang Chancellor from "talking nonsense" again, Dongchang poisoned him and dumbed him, so that he could no longer speak.
Then, The Wang Chancellor was executed, and the Wang Chancellor incident was over. From beginning to end, this matter revealed strangeness and strangeness, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao were extremely shrewd, why did a so-called Wang Chancellor take advantage of the loophole and change the confession so easily?
Why did Minister Wang suddenly appear in the palace, and did a parallel universe appear? The mystery has not been fully solved to this day. However, we can be sure that Zhang Juzheng really wants to arch to death, and as for why there is a flaw, it may be that Feng Bao was negligent in his work, or it may really be Yang Bo and others who played a role.
In order to retaliate against Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, before his death, Gao Gong wrote down his last words, which were ostensibly last words, but in fact they were severe accusations against Zhang Juzheng and others. However, this last word was left behind, on the one hand, it had a great relationship with Zhang Juzheng's last tragic encounter, on the other hand, it also once again smeared Zhang Juzheng's glorious image, which can be described as "remarkable effect"!
