Yuan Wei, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, felt surprised and looked up at Lin Haoran in confusion.

Although Lin Haoran has done an outstanding job in the position of Shuntian Prefecture, and has won the support of the people of Beijing and the recognition of many officials, the emperor may not know all this.

The reason why the status of the cabinet ministers in this dynasty has suddenly increased is because the emperor refuses to communicate directly with the officials, and concentrates on practicing mystical science every day, and the way of speech is almost controlled by the cabinet ministers.

If the situation is allowed to develop, with Xu Jie fanning the flames at the right time, Lin Haoran may not be able to avoid the fate of being exiled. With the current situation of the court, once he is exiled and leaves the capital, it may be difficult to return to the court.

Lin Haoran's tea had already been delivered. He seemed to take a sip of tea in a leisurely manner. Then he raised his head and said seriously: "Mr. Yuan Ge, why do you think my father-in-law went to court to resign?"

Although Yuan Wei rose to a high position with the grace of the Holy Spirit, he was not completely devoid of political wisdom. He immediately asked seriously: "You mean: Xu Jie and Guo Pu are... based on your future."

Blackmail?"

At the beginning of the matter, he had this kind of speculation.

After all, Wu Shan has not yet reached the age of retiring and returning to his hometown, and he has always been the person with the highest voice in the court to join the cabinet. Suddenly he resigned, which must have been a major change in the situation, so he chose to "surrender".

Of course, this may also be a strategy of retreating to advance. If Wu Shan resigns at this time, he will inevitably be persuaded by the Council of Officials, and even the emperor will come forward to persuade him to stay, so that he can give Xu Jie and Guo Pu some credit.

pressure.

However, when Lin Haoran asked this question, the former was definitely more likely. Wu Shan believed in the other party's character and wanted his disciple to receive a higher evaluation, so he chose this time to resign.

For this reason, if Wu Shan is willing to choose self-sacrifice, then Lin Haoran does not need to worry about being released, nor does he need to come to him for help for this matter.

Lin Haoran did not answer Guo Pu's question directly, but gently put the tea cup on the table and asked seriously: "Mr. Yuan Ge, my father-in-law has now submitted his resignation. If he really resigns and returns to his hometown, how dare he

Ask Yuan Ge how will he deal with himself in the future?"

"When you came here to look for me this time, you actually wanted me to protect Wu Yuejing?" Yuan Wei's heart moved slightly, and he said as if he had come to his senses.

Lin Haoran shook his head gently, looked seriously into Yuan Wei's eyes and said seriously: "No, I came here this time to help Mr. Yuan Ge protect himself!"

The struggle in the officialdom is not only to unite the parties and defeat those who are different, but also to constantly win over others.

Xu Jie was undoubtedly the master here, but he continued to win over all forces, thus overthrowing Yan Song, who had dominated the court for twenty years, and formed an interest group centered on him.

Now he basically doesn't need to show up much, he just pulls Guo Pu over, so he can easily force Wu Shanshu to resign.

But once Wu Shan resigns, the situation of Yuan Wei, who is the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, will become worse. If Xu Jie can join forces with Guo Pu to deal with Wu Shan, he may also join forces to deal with Yuan Wei, and then he may have to face the crushing of the two giants.

pressure.

That's why Lin Haoran came to see Yuan Wei this time, not only to find help, but also to draw Yuan Wei to his side, or to form an alliance between the two parties.

The setting sun only showed half of its head in the Western Mountains, and its afterglow could only be cast on the clouds in the sky. Although the city of Beijing still looked bright and bright, it was slowly turning into a light ink color.

They seemed to know that there were important things to discuss here, but neither Lin Fu nor the Yuan Mansion's domestic slaves stayed away.

Yuan Wei was well aware of the stakes involved, so he remained silent. However, after only half a moment, he shook his head firmly and said: "I will not get involved in the battle in the court!"

Obviously, he wanted to refuse. He did not intend to form an alliance with Wu Shan's side, but he still wanted to be a pavilion elder like a wandering cloud and a wild crane.

"Xu Jie and Guo Pu have formed an alliance. Once my father-in-law resigns, you will become Guo Pu's roadblock, and you will naturally be their next target!" Lin Haoran didn't know whether the other party was aware of this, but

Analyze it carefully.

Yuan Wei picked up the tea cup on the table, obviously knowing this clearly, and said very confidently: "No one can touch me, not even Xu Jie has this ability!"

This is not a numb self-confidence, but Yuan Wei does have the confidence.

Not to mention the love between monarch and minister that he has accumulated over the years, his eloquence alone is enough to make him invincible.

Why among the four figures of Qing Ci, he is the only one who can enter the cabinet, and even directly surpass Wu Shan to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister? It is precisely because his skill of Qing Ci has already surpassed Xu Jie, Guo Pu and others.

At the moment, as long as he is not caught by his political opponents, as long as he can continue to write exquisite Qing Ci for the emperor, then he cannot be easily overthrown, even Xu Jie does not have this ability.

Just like this, even if Xu Jie and Guo Pu wanted to target him, there was nothing they could do.

"Mr. Yuan Ge, you are right! But if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. If they are allowed to be so partisan now, the entire court will belong to them. Even if you take over Xu Jie's position in the future,

Then you can't sit still!" Lin Haoran said with certainty.

Although Guo Pu was deeply favored by the emperor, compared to Wu Shan, who had many disciples, and Guo Pu, who established his team through the Minister of Civil Affairs, he seemed to have no foundation at all.

Although he can be happy as a cabinet minister now, once he takes the position of chief minister, he will inevitably become the target of public criticism. It will be difficult for him to secure the position of chief minister with his team.

This is his biggest shortcoming, and it is also a shortcoming that he has always wanted to make up for.

Lin Haoran saw that Yuan Wei was interested, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Mr. Yuan Ge, now Xu Jie and Guo Pu have joined forces. Not only do they want to work together to fight against dissidents, but they also want to complete the transfer of power in the future. Whether it is to eliminate the Ming Dynasty.

rape, return

It is for the future of the Ming Dynasty. You cannot sit idly by now. As long as you can help us escape from danger and are willing to support the Ming Dynasty in continuing to open the sea in the future, my father-in-law and I will definitely help you with all our strength, and even help you replace Xu Jie!

"

"I can't help you at all costs!" Yuan Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally said calmly.

Lin Haoran heard Yuan Wei relax, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

This is sometimes the case in officialdom. There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Yuan Wei naturally does not lack the emperor's favor, but he lacks a team and a group of officials to support him. If he gets support from Wu Shan, his possibility of seeking the chief minister will greatly increase.

Although his official reputation is a bit low, and he does not have a real team, he is just in the officialdom. Who can really be indifferent to fame and fortune, and naturally he has no thoughts about the position of chief minister.

Now that Lin Haoran has analyzed the situation in the court, and even put forward these conditions, it is a bait that cannot be underestimated.

No one knew what Lin Haoran discussed in detail with Yuan Wei next, but some changes had already taken place in the court, and there was suddenly no further information about Lin Haoran's release.
