The relatively stable prefecture was not broken in the next period of time, but the atmosphere in Beijing was becoming more and more depressing. After all, the Beijing Cha was as uneasy as the sword of Damox hanging above his head.

However, Gao Gong became more and more arrogant and arrogant, and sometimes even wrote a ticket in the cabinet, Xu Jie... In Qian Yuan's words, the level of pretending to be a grandson is already a great trick, which is amazing.

Of course, Gao Gong also has this qualification. More and more followers gathered around him, and Emperor Longqing's trust in him has never changed.

On February 21, Gao Gong successfully advanced to the cabinet, passed Sun and became the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, became the Grand Secretary of the Prince, and was still in charge of the Minister of Rites.

"I don't know if it's His Majesty's intention or Gao Xinzheng's intention." Xu Wei sneered and commented: "This is a trick to be absent!"

Sun Jian lowered his head and thought for a while, "Lin Tingji, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Chunfang, the right assistant minister..."

Lin Tingji was Li Mo's mansion and took the most orthodox line of prime ministers, including Hanlin, Zhanshi Mansion, Imperial College Priest, and Minister of Rites. Li Chunfang was favored by Qing Ci in her early years, and the Later Party was affiliated with Xu Jie. Although she had not been to Zhanshi Mansion, she was specially awarded a Hanlin Bachelor by the late emperor. Both of them were qualified to be promoted to Minister of Rites.

But both of these two people were incompatible with Gao Gong... Xu Wei and Sun Yan both speculated that Gao Gong intended to occupy the position of Minister of Rites.

The reason is very simple. When entering the cabinet, you usually enter the cabinet from the position of the Minister of Rites. It is unlikely that the other five ministers will enter the cabinet... Over the years, Zhang Cong, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Lu Ben, Wu Shan, Li Mo, Sun Sheng, and Gao Gong himself, all of them have been like this.

If you are stuck as the Minister of Rites, you will be stuck in the way to enter the cabinet.

However, Qian Zheng, who had been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, had different views and said firmly: "It was not done by Gao Xinzheng. Although he is generous and generous, he is not a weak lord. How can his power and blessing be controlled by his ministers?"

After looking at Xu Wei, Qian Zheng added: "It must be what Your Majesty meant."

"Yes, it should be what Your Majesty meant." Qian Yuan also agreed: "Your Majesty is waiting for someone."

Xu Wei understood, "Yin Shidan, Uncle Zhang, Lin Zhenheng?"

"There is also Chen Yiqin who is Ding You." Qian Yuan nodded and said, "All the old ministers of Qiandi, and they can all become ministers of the Ministry of Rites and even the Minister of Rites in one step."

Qian Zheng added: "If Ding You had not been filial to you, Yi Fu should have taken over as the Grand Priest at this time."

Indeed, Chen Yiqin was a Jinshi in the 20th year of Jiajing and was one of the first lecturers to enter the Prince Yu's Mansion at the same time as Gao Gong. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he was promoted to the Minister of Taichang Temple and the Imperial College, and also a bachelor of Hanlin Seizure. He was the most qualified candidate to take over as the Minister of Rites.

The other three, Yin Shidan, Zhang Juzheng, and Lin Feng, were all Jinshis of Jiajing for 26 years, and their qualifications were really shallow.

After a pause, Qian Yuan smiled, "Gao Xinzheng took the blame this time."

Sun Yan and Xu Wei couldn't help laughing. Gao Gong had to dominate the position of Minister of Rites when he entered the cabinet. Although there were no doubts about it because of the many followers, there were a lot of scoldings on the side of the censor Kedao.

Those censors of the Taoist censors, who are tempted by the sky, the earth and the air. In the past few years, even Emperor Jiajing dares to fight against you, Gao Xinzheng?

It is estimated that Gao Gong is full of thought. Among the colleagues in Prince Yu's mansion, except for Zhang Juzheng who can only be devoted to the heart, everyone else regards himself as an enemy... Especially Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan, they still have to take the blame for them now.

While chatting, Wu Dui suddenly rushed in with a solemn expression, "Mr. Fengquan is seriously ill."

Xu Wei and Sun Yan's eyes immediately focused on Qian Yuan, who looked speechless. The so-called Fengquan Gong was Wang Bangrui, who was then the Minister of War, Gao Gong's fellow townsman, and also the Gao family's in-laws.

In fact, since Wang Bangrui resumed the Minister of War at the beginning of last year, he has only been to the yamen once every three or five days, and most of the time he does not take matters. Many things in the Ministry of War are handled privately by former Minister of War Yang Bo.

This is also the reason why Qian Yuan paid the price to reach a deal with the Shanxi merchants behind Yang Bo. Yang Bo has the ability to influence the transfer of the participating generals and the above-level generals.

Now that the transaction has been reached, Qi Jiguang is preparing to go north to serve as the general of Jimen, but Wang Bangrui is seriously ill.

Once the position of Minister of War changes hands, can Yang Bo still influence the Ministry of War?

Before, Yang Bo was able to influence the Ministry of War, on the one hand, he was the former Minister of War, and on the other hand, he was Gao Gong's wings, while Wang Bangrui was almost Gao Gong's white gloves.

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Wu Dui took a sip of tea before continuing: "Hao Xin Zheng Yanwei's appointment is a general, and Your Majesty ordered Yang Wei to make an appointment and take charge of the Ministry of War."

After a moment of quietness, Qian Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Now Brother Junze is so kind..."

For Suiyuan, Yang Bo's agency of the Ministry of War has only advantages but no disadvantages. The transactions reached before were originally possible, but now there is no possibility of any problems.

Although Yang Bo has a high position and power, he does not act like Gao Gong and Xu Jie can make the decision completely by himself. The Shanxi merchants behind him have a great influence on him... at least in the Southeast business matters.

Yang Bo had no choice. The Yang family, Wang family, and Zhang family each had one official, two or three were in the imperial examinations, and the rest were all doing business and were the leading figures of Shanxi merchants.

After coming back to his senses, Sun Jian couldn't help but smack his tongue, "Your Majesty is so trusting in Gao Xinzheng..."

The most important part of the six ministries is the Ministry of Personnel. The Minister of Personnel is called "Heavenly Official" and is the only person in the foreign court who can be on par with the cabinet ministers.

The second is the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Justice. However, in terms of rights and responsibilities, the etiquette part is not heavy, mainly for entering the cabinet, and the rights and responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue... Influenced by the financial system of the Ming Dynasty, it is not considered a matter of law, and the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue also divided a lot of power.

So, in fact, from the perspective of power and responsibility, the Ministry of Personnel is the Ministry of War, and Yang Bo can hold two departments, so Gao Gong recommended by him is indeed trusted by Emperor Longqing.

In fact, in history, after Gao Gong made a comeback, he joined the cabinet as a Grand Secretary and was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. Later, he handed over the Ministry of Personnel to Yang Bo. Later, the Minister of War was vacant. Gao Gong asked Emperor Longqing to issue an order, and ordered Yang Bo to take charge of the Ministry of War as the Minister of Personnel.

"Since Yang Wei asked to write a letter to ask the Beijing Office to be kept by His Majesty and refused to issue it. There are many rumors in the capital, and the heavenly officials are unstable." Qian Zheng lowered his head and said, "It seems that they are all false now."

"It's just nonsense." Qian Yuan shook his head, feeling a little anxious. Should he go to the West Garden to see him?... But this kind of rash test may lead to a loss of rice.

After everyone dispersed, Xu Wei was about to go home from the side door. He looked at the other person next to him and whispered: "Zhancai, do not stick to any major things."

"Um?"

"No matter Fujian and Guangdong, the two Zhejiang areas are too quiet." Xu Wei's eyes were bright.

Qian Yuan paused and looked at the middle-aged official in front of him with a brand new look. The meaning of this sentence was too obvious. To put it nicely, it was to show Suiyuan's status in the southeast, and to put it bluntly, it was to raise the thief to be respectful.

Xu Wei avoided Qian Yuan's sight and added: "If you want to be unsuitable, you may be able to help others."

Let the eunuch get involved?

This is not a good thing. Not to mention the eunuch's greed, it will at least cause disgust from the civil service system.

But from another perspective, if the eunuch can participate, Suiyuan may be able to participate in the opening of the sea ban at a deep level.

Qian Yuan sighed and angrily pissed Xu Wei away with one sentence.
