Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "With the ability of the Central Xuangong, even if you don't add ministers, you must be able to manage yin and yang, follow the four times, be close to the people, and care for Zhuyi." ”

Feng Bao sneered: "Whether he has such great ability or not, our family doesn't know, our family is just worried about you for Taiyue Xianggong." ”

"Worried about me?" Zhang Ju's face was calm: "I am a late learner, and I can't threaten Zhongxuangong at all, not to mention that whenever he has a decision, I will also support it wholeheartedly, so Zhongxuangong can't tolerate me?" ”

Feng Bao smiled and said slowly: "Does Taiyue Xianggong think that Gao Hu will regard you as his right-hand man, or even the next first assistant after him?" ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Ju Zhengde is shallow and shallow, and he doesn't dare to be restrained." ”

"If Taiyue Xianggong really thinks so...... Feng Bao didn't hear Zhang Juzheng's self-humility, put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Then I'm afraid I will have to answer the old saying: people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." ”

Zhang Ju's face remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh? I have to ask Feng Gong for some advice. ”

"Originally, our family didn't notice it, but someone recently reminded our family." Feng Bao looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "On the day Gao Huzi returned to Beijing, he brought one of his nephews with him, and also brought him into the palace...... Can you remember Taiyue Xianggong? ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "Remember, that child's name is Gao Pragmatic, he is the eldest son of Gao Xuangong's younger brother, he is quite young and old, if he is willing to study hard, he will definitely have something to do in the future." ”

"The problem lies in this high pragmatism." Feng Bao looked at Zhang Juzheng and pouted: "Do you know why Taiyue Xianggong?" ”

"Out of him?" Zhang Juzheng couldn't help frowning, although he had some impression of the highly pragmatic young man, but the two just took a look at each other, naturally they wouldn't have a deep understanding, and said in surprise: "Mr. Feng Gong wouldn't say that Zhong Xuangong hopes that it will be his little nephew who will take over as the first assistant in the future, right?" Hehe, although they are uncles and nephews, they are more than fifty years old, and it is impossible for them to receive them. ”

"That's not what we mean." Feng Bao obviously felt that Zhang Juzheng's answer was completely flattening himself, and frowned: "Gao Beard is the high and pragmatic uncle, but who is the high and pragmatic uncle, can Taiyue Xianggong know?" It's Zhang Fengpan. This level of relationship was almost unnoticed by almost no one in Beijing before, but now no one is paying attention to it...... Taiyue Xianggong didn't want to think about it, why did Gao Huzi come back to Beijing this time, even his own wife came later, but he brought this nephew with him first? What's more, after he recovered, he took charge as a pavilion elder, and in less than a month, he immediately promoted Zhang Fengpan from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Officials as a waiter. ”

Zhang Juzheng was silent.

Feng Bao smiled: "Zhang Siwei's family background is clear to everyone, their Puzhou Zhang family almost monopolizes the Cangzhou Changlu Salt Farm, not to mention the rich world, at least it is also the rich side, right?" However, is the in-law relationship between their Zhang family clear to the princess? ”

Zhang Juzheng frowned and shook his head slightly.

"Our family is also supervising the East Factory, and we still know some of these things." Feng Bao showed a smug smile, but his tone was very cold: "Wang Jianchuan, the governor of Xuanda, is Zhang Siwei's uncle; Young Fu Yang Yupo (Yang Bo, No. Yu Po) and Zhang Siwei are both fellow villagers and marriages, and the two are still friends who have forgotten their years; In addition, the prince washed Ma Ma Qian'an (Ma Ziqiang, called Qian'an) and Zhang Siwei are also in-laws......"

Zhang Ju's face was a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm not familiar with Ma Qian'an, but Yang Yupo and Wang Jianchuan are the second dukes...... They are all old friends of Zhongxuan Gong for many years. ”

Feng Bao smiled: "Now Xianggong Taiyue should know that if Zhao Dazhou, Li Shilu and Chen Songgu all go, once the cabinet pushes to add cabinet ministers, who will be added, right?" ”

Zhang Juzheng thought about it, but said: "But Zhongxuangong and I have always known each other, and in the current cabinet, there is no conflict between me and him in public or private, and Zhang Fengpan and I are still close." Besides, Feng Gong should not forget that Zhong Xuangong is the twelfth in the second class of the Xin Chou branch in the 20th year of Jiajing, I am the ninth in the second class of Ding Weike in the 26th year of Jiajing, and Zhang Fengpan is the 86th in the second class of the Jiajing 32nd year...... I have two subjects with Zhongxuan, and Zhang Fengpan has two subjects with me. ”

Zhang Juzheng's implication is that Gao Gong is his predecessor, and it is normal to rank above him; But he is Zhang Siwei's predecessor, even if Zhang Siwei enters the cabinet, he is also a junior, and the ranking will inevitably be below him. Besides, Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything, when Jiajing was in the thirty-second year of the Gui Chou Section, Zhang Juzheng was one of the same examiners, but Zhang Siwei's paper was not selected by him.

In the Ming Dynasty, civil officials talked about qualifications, the first thing to see was which year you were a jinshi, and the jinshi of the earlier subject was the senior, and if you were a jinshi in the same department, you would see the ranking. If you enter the cabinet in the future, you will have to look at the order of entering the cabinet, and those who enter the cabinet first will naturally have older qualifications.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng is Zhang Siwei's predecessor in every aspect, so he is not worried that Zhang Siwei can replace his position.

Who knew that Feng Bao sneered: "Taiyue Xianggong is really a righteous gentleman, Li Shilu, Chen Songgu, Zhao Dazhou, here are three cabinet ministers, if the bearded man is interested, he has someone on hand to make up for it." Guo Pu, who was at about the same time as him last time, was a long-time friend of the tall beard; Yang Bo was impeached for the Jingcha incident last time, and then his resignation was not approved by His Majesty. The body of the 'sick' hung the title of Taifu and stayed in Beijing and never gave a minister; Gao Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the same year as the tall beard, and the high beard was in charge of the two Beijing Hanlin Academy, and it was also an old friendship for many years, not to mention that he was still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites or the high beard was recommended to take over when he entered the cabinet with the Ministry of Rites; in addition, there was the older Ge Shouli, this duke in the previous Manchu Dynasty inverted arch to protect the high beard, after the high beard stepped down, he also angrily resigned, it can be seen that he has a close relationship with the high beard, this prince is also in his hometown now, it seems that the forest is leisurely, but presumably the high beard will not forget him。 ”

"Hmph, there are a lot of people with tall beards." Feng Bao Yin smiled: "The others don't count, just these few, which one is not the 'senior' of Taiyue Xianggong?" Does Taiyue Xianggong still think that he is as stable as Mount Tai? ”

Zhang Juzheng's face became ugly this time.

When Feng Bao said this, he also found that his position was not as stable as he imagined, especially one more point, although Feng Bao did not say it explicitly, he knew it himself...... Back then, he was recommended by his teacher Xu Jie, and he entered the cabinet directly! In other words, theoretically speaking, he has no actual experience in governance, and he ascended to the sky as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet from Hanlin Qinggui. It's not a big deal in normal times, but it's a critical moment...... It's hard to say.

This kind of one-step ascension, on the one hand, is certainly a strong embodiment of Xu Jie's strength in the imperial court back then, but it is also a major concern for Zhang Juzheng: Xu Jie's promotion of students is so fast, how can there be no gossip outside? If Xu Jie is still in power, this gossip certainly has nothing to do with the overall situation, but the problem is that Xu Jie has retired now!

Not only did he retreat, but now he is in a lawsuit by that Hai Rui!

Feng Bao can mix with the second-in-command of the inner court in the Longqing Dynasty as Li Guifei and the former celebrity, how clever is his ability to observe words and colors, seeing Zhang Juzheng's expression, he immediately made up for it: "Besides, Taiyue Xianggong is the master of Huating Gong, this matter is well known to everyone in the world, and now Huating Gong's situation is not very good......
