The threshold for the Xu Mansion is even higher.

This is the opinion of many officials in Beijing. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and many officials think of going around the Xu Mansion, slim their faces, and getting closer. At that time, there will be any good things to promote or lack of money. The Prime Minister can also think of himself first. Unfortunately, Xu Jie refused such contacts on the grounds of official business, so that many people have no way to visit.

Most of them were turned away.

However, as a disciple Xu Jie valued, Zhang Juzheng knocked on the door of the Xu Mansion without any twists and turns.

If he didn't pay attention to it, Xu Jie would not recommend Zhang Juzheng as the lecturer of King Yu.

"Students pay homage to my mentor." As soon as he saw Xu Jie in Xu Jie's study, Zhang Juzheng respectfully saluted Xu Jie.

Zhang Juzheng was grateful to Xu Jie from the bottom of his heart. Of course, at least he was very grateful now. If it weren't for Xu Jie's recommendation, Youchunfang Youyude would definitely not be the turn of him.

Xu Jie was not very interested and didn't have to be polite to his students. He waved his hand and said, "Uncle is here, let's sit down."

"Thank you."

Zhang Juzheng was not polite, and sat down at the bottom. In order to show respect for his mentors, he sat down with a sign with half of his butt exposed.

"Mr. Are you still troubled by that incident?" Zhang Juzheng sat down and said in a low voice.

After more than ten years of endurance, Xu Jie can be said to have ended his hardships. As he wished, he eliminated Yan Song, took the position of chief minister in the cabinet, and took the position of chief minister. This is a very powerful minister. It is logical that he can rest assured, but the smart Zhang Juzheng knew that his mentor had always been upset about one thing, and there was someone with Yan Song in this matter.

There were only Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng in the study. Xu Jie did not hide much from his student because when he defeated Yan Song, his student also made great efforts behind his back and was sitting in the same boat.

"If you don't die, there will be future troubles. The emperor is still too serious about old love." Xu Jie sighed.

"Yes, this old thief is cheaper." Zhang Juzheng agreed.

Although Yan Song fell, he was not dead yet. This powerful minister was good at writing green poems and scheming the meaning of the holy, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Jiajing. The king and his ministers had been together for more than 20 years, and Yan Song had been in the fortunate for more than 20 years. During these 20 years, the king and his ministers had established deep feelings, and the truth was revealed. But until now, Yan Song still lived well.

He tried every means to capture Yan Song's most capable assistant, his son Yan Shifan, into the capital. However, this young master Yan, known as the young prime minister, broke free from the shackles as soon as he arrived in the capital, openly accepted banquets from some officials, and swaggered in the capital, while the officials of the court turned a blind eye to it.

How arrogant he is.

This was a slap to Xu Jie in the face, but Xu Jie couldn't find a good solution for the moment, and he didn't dare to launch it rashly, because he knew that he had only one chance. If a fatal blow did not work, there would be endless troubles. Even after Yan Song fell, Xu Jie pretended to send someone to Yan Song's hometown to greet him, and his attitude was very low.

In Jiajing's mind, expelling Yan Song was enough. If the emperor decided to kill him, it was far from enough to rely on some evidence in his hands. Yan Song had been in the court for many years and had a full wings, so he could not cut them all at once.

The worst point is that Jiajing has recently had the idea of ​​recalling Yan Song. This is a dangerous signal. Once Yan Song gains power again, Xu Jie's status will become very dangerous.

Zhang Juzheng lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Yan Song is just a rough man in the mountains. Besides, he is old and has threats, but it is not enough to be afraid. He beats the snake and hits the seven inches. As long as we hit his seven inches, we will be sure to win."

"you mean?"

"Yan Shifan" Zhang Juzheng said with a serious look: "Yan Song is terrible, but as long as he defeats Yan Yan Shifan, whom he trusts and relies on the most, then a big thing will be accomplished. This person is the pillar of the Yan Party. As long as he dies, Yan Song will not be troubled."

Xu Jie responded, and then said helplessly: "I have thought about this, but Yan Shifan is too cunning and cannot touch him for ordinary crimes, so he is very distressed."

Zhang Juzheng thought for a while, and soon had an idea, and lowered his voice and said, "Yan Song and his son served the emperor for many years. They can be demoted or dismissed, but they cannot be killed. The emperor is also a person who values ​​love. If you want to touch him, it will be a crime of rebellion."

Seeing Xu Jie not speaking, Zhang Juzheng did not dare to suck Xu Jie's appetite and continued: "Yan Shifan should have been exiled, but he fled home halfway, and he was guilty and still unscrupulously opened a mansion in his hometown. He was caught because he injured people. However, being a deserter would definitely not be punished for his death. However, the house could do some work, for example, the land in that house was a Feng Shui treasure land, with dragon energy. Yan Song and his son controlled the court for many years, and they had robbed many people's money and ointments. Maybe these were stolen goods colluded with Japanese pirates..."

"Miao, wonderful!" Xu Jie stood up excitedly, touched his beard and said, "When Uncle said this, Yan Zhe is not far from his death day, hahaha."

As an emperor, the most feared thing is that others rob him of his country. Jiajing is a believer. Even to the point of poisoning, he not only tried medicine with his body, but also took pills for decades. Because of the theory that the two dragons did not meet, he had to separate himself from his flesh and blood for decades and ignored his son. Yan Shifan set up a mansion in a place with dragon energy, which was a sign of rebellion. If there was evidence of collusion with Japanese pirates, he would definitely die.

The master and apprentice conspired in the study for a long time before they turned into another topic.

Xu Jie drank a cup of tea, then slowly said in a simplicity: "Uncle, has the appointment of the imperial court arrived?"

"It's here, thank your teacher for training." Zhang Juzheng stood up suddenly and saluted Xu Jie respectfully while saying.

"No need to be polite." Xu Jie waved his hand and said seriously: "I recommend you not because you are my student, but because you are interested in your character and talent. I believe you can teach King Yu a good lesson and teach the future crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, the wise and the bright ministers, and the Ming Dynasty can prosper and become strong. This move is for the country and country of the Ming Dynasty, not for selfishness."

After saying that, he said with a serious expression: "Uncle, this is a serious responsibility. You must provide careful guidance and do not be careless. If you do not teach well, I will not leave you any sympathy."

"Thank you for your teacher's teachings, and students will devote themselves to their efforts until they die."

Xu Jieman nodded and said, "Very good, uncle, sit down and talk."

"Thank you."

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng was like an obedient little brother, respectful and did not dare to let him go at all.

After Zhang Juzheng sat down, Xu Jie said, "Uncle, you have been in the Yu Prince's Mansion as Youchunfang Youzhongyun for almost four years, right?"

"My teacher is very memorable. The student was appointed Youchunfang Youzhongyun in the spring of 39th. It has been almost four years since he calculated."

"Well, four years, it's not long, it's not short. Uncle, what do you think of His Highness Yu?"

The comment behind the scenes is that a prince who is about to become an emperor is also a little hesitant: "Mr., this..."

Xu Jie knew his concerns and said with a smile: "There are only you and my master and apprentice in this study. Uncle has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

With Xu Jie's words, Zhang Juzheng was relieved and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness Yu is generous to others, but unfortunately he lacks opinion on his work and has no enterprising spirit. Being a benevolent monarch is enough, but being a wise monarch still needs to be tempered."

He hesitated for a moment and continued to whisper: "King Yu is greedy for the joy of bed, which is a bit too much. This also damages the dragon body. The students have also advised him many times. Unfortunately, King Yu goes in his left ear and goes out his right ear, which makes the students very distressed."

When Xu Jie heard this, he was also a little helpless.

In the Yu Palace, he has served as a lecturer, including Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shizhan, and the upcoming Zhang Juzheng, etc. Xu Jie also served as a lecturer for Yu Palace. He knew that this special student's personality was to like beauties. His degree of liking beauties is probably comparable to his spirit of refining alchemy.

The master and apprentice seemed to look at each other in a sympathetic manner, and they looked speechless.

The Zhu family has many talents, including those who play crickets, carpenters, elixirs, women, and all kinds of emperors, but those who are ministers have to protect them in every way.

Xu Jie sighed and said, "Uncle, the emperor's dragon body is not good now, and King Yu still needs to grow. According to your opinion, what are the good strategies?"

Jiajing's health is getting worse, but as the heir, King Yu, did not yet have the temperament of a wise king, which made Xu Jie very anxious. This is also the reason why he recommended his student Zhang Juzheng as Youchunfang Youyude.

On the one hand, he believed in his abilities, and on the other hand, he was his own people, and he tried his best to establish a good relationship with the future emperor. This was also a way to stabilize his position. In particular, Xu Jie found that Gao Gong was not as obedient as he imagined.

"Change, Wang Jiefu (Wang Anshi) said: If you are poor, you think about change; if you change, you will be open, and if you are open, you will be profitable." Zhang Juzheng said without hesitation.

"Oh, why do you need to change?"

Zhang Juzheng said with a serious expression: "The situation of King Yu is a bit special. Because the two dragons do not meet each other, they do not wait for the emperor to like him today, and have not yet established a prince. On the contrary, King Jing is more favored and lives a trembling day every day, decades have been the same. Gao Suqing (Gao Gong) has also protected King Yu too well and hid in Prince Yu's mansion. Although there is less danger, it also lacks tempering. Therefore, King Yu needs some changes."

“How to change?”

"Students believe that it is better to set up some companionship readers around King Yu, and these readers are best from the people, so that King Yu can better understand the sufferings of the people, have a broader vision, have a more comprehensive mind, and have a more cheerful temperament. He teaches King Yu in a silent and subtle way."

Xu Jie frowned and said, "The best man and the clerk should come from the people? Isn't it good to choose from young talents from the Imperial College or the wealthy families? I'm afraid that those talented people from the people who are vulgar and do not understand the rules will make them misleading King Yu."

"Not good," Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Young young men like the Imperial College or the wealthy families are good, but most of them have been polished to have no edges and become more utilitarian. King Yu, the most important thing is the rules. As for the candidates, we can strictly control our character and talent."
