Xu Jie gently put down the teacup, turned his head and looked at the direction of Wanshou Palace and said leisurely: "Lin Ruoyu is probably unwilling to admit defeat. This time he wants to break the current situation in the court!"

"Dad, does he want to deal with you?" Xu Fan frowned slightly and asked with a warning.

Xu Jie shook his head gently and responded confidently: "Then you respect him too much! He can't deal with me, and it's even more impossible for him to take over me!"

The reason why I chose to attack Wu Shan was to see the weaknesses of Wu Lin's party.

On the surface, Lin Qiran seemed more aggressive, but it was Wu Shan who posed a direct threat to him. Once he lost Wu Shan, Lin Qiran's age and qualifications could limit him and let him be honest and settled in the position of Minister of Revenue.

several years.

"Dad, who do that kid wants to deal with?" Xu Fan had been hit by the plan between the court and seemed to be humbly asking for advice.

Xu Jie stretched his waist, looked towards the door, and judged with wisdom: "He is not going to deal with anyone this time, he should take this opportunity to remind the emperor to balance all parties, and he is probably going to promote the increase of the cabinet.

It's a staff member!"

With Wu Shan's death, he was the only one left in the cabinet, Yan Ne and Li Chunfang, and this cabinet was already controlled by him. Even in the Yan Song era, there would not be three Jiangxi masters.

That's right. Although there are not many three cabinet ministers now, considering his intimate relationship with Yan Ne and Li Chunfang, there is indeed a reason to propose to the emperor that one or two cabinet ministers will be added.

But this matter obviously has little impact on him. Even if the cabinet really increases its staff, the cabinet is still up to him, the chief minister, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Dad, Lin Ruoyu is still so young. He can't just want to join the cabinet now, right?" Xu Fan frowned slightly, and asked with confusion on his face.

Zhang Siwei had been waiting outside for a while, but only heard Xu Jie and his son talking about important things, but he seemed to be in a dilemma, but his ears couldn't help but listen to the conversation between the father and son.

He also saw the current court. Now that he heard that Lin Shiran had planned to enter the cabinet, he couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly. This was really sensational.

However, thinking of Lin Shiran's identity and status, coupled with the achievements he has made over the years, if he really picks two people into the cabinet, one is Guo Pu, the Minister of Rites, and the other should be Lin Shiran, the Minister of Revenue who leads the Prince Taibao, who is indeed the Minister of Revenue, Lin Shiran, the Minister of Revenue, who is the leader of the Prince Taibao,

.

I just thought that he, a Jinshi from the 32nd year of Jiajing, was still serving tea and water here, and that junior was about to enter the cabinet to worship the minister, but he felt quite uncomfortable.

Xu Jie also saw Zhang Siwei, a proud disciple standing at the door, but was not in a hurry to answer his son's question, but raised his tone and said, "Ziwei, come in!"

"Master, I'm here to bring you tea!" Zhang Siwei walked in with the tea, showing his authentic intention of coming respectfully.

Due to Huai Yan's interests and the alliance between Yang Bo and Xu Jie, his teacher-student relationship with Xu Jie seemed very close. Especially after Chen Jin's death, he was already the most popular among the Jinshi in Jiajing in the 32nd year of Jiajing.

The disciple who valued it.

Xu Jie seemed quite satisfied with Zhang Siwei, and nodded with a smile and said, "Ziwei, I'm working hard!"

Although this student who came from the Salt Merchants Family was not smart enough, he was the best at respecting his teachers and respecting his principles, and he was undoubtedly a person worthy of training.

Given the defeat of Xia Yan, Yan Song and others, he knew that if he wanted to be an evergreen tree in politics, he not only had to know how to endure, but also cultivate some students who could protect him.

"This is the duty of the disciple!" Zhang Siwei knew that their Jin officials had a weak foundation, and if the Cichen route was smooth, then he had to hold the thigh of the master, and he would appear to be regular.

responded.

Xu Jie took a sip of hot tea with satisfaction, then answered his son's question: "Lin Ruoyu is too young and the current court is stable, so there is little chance that he will enter the cabinet!"

"Dad, what's he trying to do with such a big disturbance?" Xu Fan was immediately confused and couldn't help but look at Xu Jie in confusion.

Zhang Siwei also stood aside and looked at the teacher in confusion.

Xu Jie picked up the teacup, but said lightly: "Didn't you say it earlier? When Guo Pu came to Wu Mansion to lay down, Lin Ruoyu and Guo Pu talked for a long time. I'm afraid he would help Guo Pu enter the pavilion this time.

!”

"Dad, Lin Ruoyu and Guo Zhifu joined forces?" Xu Fan realized the seriousness of the problem and found that the court was not his Xu family who covered the sky with only one hand, so he couldn't help but seek to prove it in shock.

Zhang Siwei swallowed secretly and turned his head carefully to look at Xu Jie. Because he was of the same Northern Division, although he was close to Xu Jie, he had always had a relatively close relationship with Guo Pu.

Xu Jie held the tea lid and splashed the tea stem floating on it, but shook his head gently and said, "To be more precise, Lin Ruoyu has joined forces with Guo and Gao!"

Due to his youth and qualifications, Lin Qinran could not pose a direct threat to himself, but the terrible thing about Lin Qinran is that his mind is more flexible than anyone else.

In the current court, if the person who can directly threaten himself is already two officials from the Henan Group.

Guo Pu is one of the emperor's favorite officials. If it were not for the filial piety, he would have stood before Yan Ne and become the Ming Dynasty's secondary assistant in the current court.

As for Gao Gong, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, although he was only a third-rank official, he was the most trusted teacher of King Yu. Once King Yu became a treasure, Gao Gong could directly threaten him as the chief minister.

"What does this have to do with Gao Gong?" Xu Fan frowned and asked in confusion.

Zhang Siwei found that Xu Jie looked at him with a smile, and knew that Xu Jie was interested in evaluating him. He first organized the language and then replied seriously: "If Guo Pu enters the pavilion, then Gao Gong can replace Guo Pu.

Location, Lin Xuran's move can actually be sold directly to these two people with great benefits!"

Xu Fan originally wanted to mention Chen Yiqin, but when Gao Gong became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Yiqin was still in the Imperial College, so he silently vomited back.

"Master Master, what should we do?" Zhang Siwei couldn't help but ask worriedly when he saw Lin Weiran regrouping again so quickly.

Xu Jie took a sip of hot tea, but said confidently: "The overall layout of this court is relatively stable! Not to mention whether Guo Zhifu can successfully enter the cabinet, even if Guo Zhifu can enter the cabinet, it will still be ranked first.

Four!"

He now has the cabinet, and the most important Minister of Personnel is the person he arranged. Even if Lin Qingran had an alliance with Guo and Gao, he still had the final say in this court.
Chapter completed!
