At this time, Xu Jie smiled and talked about today's affairs. Since joining forces with Gao Gong, Xu Jie, who had only returned home after dusk for more than ten years, seemed much more relaxed. Now it is still February, and it is not dark, so Xu Jie has already arrived home and has finished his meal.

The first persons to sit were Feng Tianyu, the Minister of Justice, Zhang Yongming, the Censor of the Left Censor, Lin Run, the Censor of the Censorate, and Hu Yingjia, the Doctor of the Ministry of Revenue.

Before the New Year, when Wang Bengu took office as the inspector of Zhejiang, Hu Yingjia jumped from the censor to the Ministry of Revenue to serve as a doctor. It was from then on that, Xu Jie regarded Hu Yingjia as his direct confidant and would call him to participate in the matter.

"Indeed, Yang Wei had a general and it was natural to be appointed as the Ministry of War." Xu Jie said with a smile: "Gao Xinzheng is really arrogant now."

Hu Yingjia echoed: "The master of the army retreated and gained the three flavors of military tactics."

Xu Jie couldn't help but point at Hu Yingjia and cursed: "Kerou, your mouth... It is said that he was still arguing with his colleagues and almost took action?"

"For the public, not for the private," Hu Yingjia said seriously: "Chen Younian, the doctor of the Qing Lishu Department of Ningbo, has unclear accounts, so students naturally have to speak impartially."

Well, Qian Yuan mentioned once that you have to do a full set of acting. Just as you entered the Ministry of Revenue, it was the nail that Xu Jie put in the Ministry of Revenue. It would be abnormal if he didn't criticize Chen Younian.

Zhang Yongming, who was standing beside him, looked at Feng Tianyu in confusion, and the latter nodded slightly, "A Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing, followed the people in the garden."

"Kerou has been admitted to six departments in succession, so he should naturally speak impartially." Xu Jie smiled and said, "But in a few days, I will hold back a little."

Seeing Hu Yingjia's confused expression, Xu Jie explained: "The day before yesterday, Fang Zhongmin, the Minister of Revenue, went to Xiyuan to meet, and recommended Nanjing's Minister of Rites Lu Shusheng to be appointed as the Minister of Revenue, and the author will be issued tomorrow."

"Lu Pingquan?" Feng Tianyu was a little surprised.

Lu Shusheng took the route of the prime minister, from the Hanlin Academy to the Imperial College, then to the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, and returned to Beijing to serve as Minister of Revenue. This was not a promotion, and it was not even a transfer.

Feng Tianyu and Zhang Yongming were unclear, but Hu Yingjia could guess it was probably the secret trick of Fang Du, the Minister of Revenue, and Lu Shusheng was Qian Yuan's teacher.

"This matter has nothing to do with the overall situation, but Ke Rou is better to be careful." Xu Jie smiled and said, "Although Lu Pingquan is indifferent to fame and fortune, he is harsh in dealing with things. He used to be the Imperial College Priest, and personally planned to learn twelve chapters of rules and teachings. All the students in charge were trembling."

Hu Yingjia hurriedly responded that he had heard Lu Yipeng from Huating's native place mention that Lu Shusheng taught Qian Zhancai to put on the small stick together.

The followers dispersed one by one, and Xu Jie sat alone in the study, sneering in his mind about what Gao Gong had done during this period. He was so domineering, even more domineering than Yan Shifan and Li Shiyan back then!

Yang Bo was ordered to serve as the Minister of Personnel and the Ministry of War, and he also occupied the Minister of Rites. Gao Gong wanted to swallow the meat in one bite, so he would not even let others drink the soup!

Xu Jie has always been indifferent to his emotions, but today he is talking and laughing with his disciples and his followers. Naturally, there are special reasons.

In fact, Wang Bangrui has been seriously ill for more than a day or two, but in these days, Gao Gong still occupies the position of Minister of Rites after entering the cabinet, and also wrote a letter to recommend Yang Bo to act as the Ministry of War.

Xu Jie searched for news through various channels, guessing that this was probably an agreement reached between Gao Gong and Emperor Longqing. This agreement could not be raised in public or even said, but it actually exists.

Xu Jie could also guess that Gao Gong occupied the position of Minister of Rites, probably because of Emperor Longqing's intention, but for the old ministers behind him, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shidan, Zhang Juzheng, Lin Xuan, and even Gao Yi.

Gao Gong took the blame and made a request to let Yang Bo also take office as the Ministry of War.

Although it is impossible to determine, Xu Jie found out that Emperor Longqing was not in a good mood these days, and he frequently summoned old ministers such as Zhu Dashou, Lin Feng, Yin Shidan, and Hu Zhengmeng. However, as Gao Gong's confidant Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei was not summoned.

Xu Jie knew that his guess was at least six or seven out of ten. Gao Gong's strength and domineeringness obviously laid a nail in His Majesty's heart.

I have to say that if you look at people's hearts carefully, Xu Jie does have this level.

In history, from the 31st year of Jiajing to the 45th year of Jiajing, a full fourteen years of company made Emperor Longqing’s trust in Master Gao unreliable.

But in this life, Qian Yuan went to and from Prince Yu's Mansion in the 35th year of Jiajing, which directly led to Gao Gong's decline in the minds of Emperor Longqing. Whether in terms of personal relationships or helping Emperor Longqing, Qian Yuan was not inferior to Gao Gong.

Gao Gong in this life did not enter the cabinet to gather his party members before Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, and Gao Gong was even more domineering than in the original time and space. How could he not make Emperor Longqing feel unhappy?

The worst thing is that this is a transaction, a transaction between ministers and emperors... Similar transactions will appear in every dynasty, but for the relationship between Gao Gong and Emperor Longqing, this transaction undoubtedly sets a gap between them that is not deep but not shallow.

Li Mo is ill, Sun Sheng, Lu Ben is about to retire, Wushan mediocre people... Xu Jie thought to himself that Chen Yiqin, who is Dingyou, will have two years to recover, Yin Shidan and Gao Yi will not be able to enter the cabinet in the short term. If Your Majesty does not use my Xu Huating to check and balance, who else can you use?

During this period, the changes in the situation in the court were within Xu Jie's calculations. He stood up and walked a few steps to pull out a book on the bookshelf. He took a look at it. Xu Jie's face changed slightly. There was an old piece of paper in the book, with two poems on it.

Xu Jie recalled at the first time that it was the first month of the 35th year of Jiajing, and Zhang Juzheng came to visit and officially joined the Xu Mansion.

Xu Jie stuffed the book back in trouble. Although he still had an extreme desire for power, he was still a person who was nearly 60 years old and could not ignore his affairs after all... Of course, he did not want to live in history as if he had been more than ten thousand years. Zhang Juzheng died before him.

The four brothers of Xu Jie, except for himself, were only Xu She passed the imperial examination and had no outstanding one in the next generation. Until now, he still had no fame and honor as a scholar.

He chose Qian Yuan and Zhang Juzheng one after another, on the one hand because of the government affairs, and on the other hand, Xu Jie also had the idea of ​​asking them to take care of the descendants of the Xu family... It was indeed successful in history. Hai Rui dismissed from office for this and created a "stop the prime minister of the family and can expel the style of the court."

In this life, Qian Yuan would not say that Zhang Juzheng was forced to Liangshan and break up with Xu Jie by the former... Although it has been nearly a year, whenever he thinks of him, Xu Jie grits his teeth.

From those two poems to Zhang Juzheng, from Zhang Juzheng to Qian Yuan... Xu Jie sighed quietly. Deep in his heart, he always felt that the young man was the same as himself.

He seems to be aggressive, but in fact he can tolerate it. Once he gets angry, he will not let Yan Donglou be more beautiful than before.

I will be sixty years old next year, and the one who is not yet thirty years old this year, and no one in the Xu family can hold up the big beam after he retires... Xu Jie opened the window, felt the chill of early spring, and thought how much better his fate would be than Yan Song?

After thinking for a long time, Xu Jie walked back to the desk, spread paper and picked up a pen, and wrote a letter.

Carefully put it on and closed his mouth himself. Xu Jie pulled the rope and said to the old housekeeper who entered the house: "Let's leave early tomorrow morning and urgently hand it to the prince of Zhejiang."
