Every time the old man thinks about all this, he is very frightened, and he secretly feels afraid for a while! I always thought that I looked up to Lin Shuanzi, but I didn't want him to be able to do this, and no one noticed it from last year to now, so he pushed his father-in-law to the Ministry of Justice, which is really ...... It's terrifying! Xu Jie's eyes flashed with a touch of sorrow, and he also sighed.

Yan Ne raised his head violently and asked Xu Jie, "Lord Yuanfu, do you think Lin Wenkui is laying out all this?" ”

Xu Fan's face was very calm, and he didn't have the slightest doubt about his father's judgment, and said in his heart: It turns out that this kid Lin Ruoyu is playing behind his back, which is really hateful.

As for what Daddy said was terrible, he didn't think it was terrible at all, and Daddy deliberately exaggerated it here. Lin Wenkui is only the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the third grade, and the father is the high-ranking Shoufu, who is afraid of the Shuntianfu Yin in this world?

"Wu Yuejing can be a scholar, and it is okay to be a model official with good conduct, but he definitely can't think of this kind of conspiracy, and he won't sneak around his back to do so many small actions!" Xu Jie reasoned confidently.

In fact, there is another thing he didn't say, this matter requires the full cooperation of local officials and businessmen in Guangdong, and the person with this influence is naturally Lin Haoran.

Yan Ne nodded lightly, believing Xu Jie's judgment, but frowned and said: "Lin Ruoyu is the emperor's hand-picked Ming Wenkui, this person is not easy to deal with!" ”

When faced with a tricky figure in a hostile position, the first thought is naturally to get rid of it quickly.

"I couldn't release him before, but now that Wu Yuejing is the secretary of the ministry, I'm afraid I don't have this opportunity!" Xu Jie picked up the teacup and shook his head gently, but soon commented: "Lin Ruoyu is indeed a genius, but he has the common problem of being a teenager, and he seems to be too impatient in the officialdom!" ”

Yan Ne immediately asked puzzledly: "How can you see it?" ”

"Lin Ruoyu's most suitable place to stay is the Hanlin Academy, where he honestly boils his qualifications, and he can enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in a maximum of twenty years. He may have been exiled at first because he couldn't help himself, but now that he has returned to the capital, he has not thought about returning to the Hanlin Academy, but has been thinking about climbing up step by step, and now he is thinking about the position of the six squires of the Shuntian Mansion Yin Renman! Xu Jie pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the tea lightly, looking a little regretful.

"Isn't that great, Dad?" Xu Fan wanted to climb up all the time, and when he heard the words, he asked suspiciously.

Xu Jie took a sip of tea and explained seriously: "If he honestly boils his qualifications, everyone will have to make way for him, but he just wants to surpass Gao Gong, Yin Shidan, Zhang Juzheng and others. Just one mistake is enough to break him to pieces. ”

In the past 40 years in officialdom, I have seen the ups and downs of many big people, and the biggest feeling is the tragic end after the defeat of the political war. Now Lin Haoran has to take an unusual path, undoubtedly digging his own grave.

Xu Fan's brows furrowed slightly, but he was seriously thinking about his father's words.

Yan Ne nodded lightly, and said approvingly: "He should indeed take the initiative to lower his rank and seek a chance to return to the Hanlin Academy, instead of thinking about the six squires!" ”

"The topic is far away, and the future is unknown!" Xu Jie put down the teacup and shook his head gently.

Yan Ne knew that the current situation was not good, so he returned to the previous topic, and asked for advice seriously: "Lord Yuanfu, now that the emperor is afraid that he is suspicious of us, what should we do?" ”

Guangdong Salt implemented the ticket salt law, and it was implemented very smoothly. On the contrary, he clearly supported Huaishang last year, which undoubtedly aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction and suspicion of them.

His pockmarked face originally cut off his career, and he was able to step by step to the position of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, thanks to the emperor's favor.

Once he loses the emperor's favor, even if his power is like Yan Song, with the emperor's holy decree, his power will come to naught, which he does not want to see.

Xu Jie looked very calm, and said seriously: "The emperor asked Wu Shan to serve as the secretary of the ministry, I'm afraid he is dissatisfied with the two of us, but now the matter can't be defined, and it can't be determined who is right and who is wrong!" After a pause, he continued: "We are still loyal courtiers, and everything is done according to the emperor's wishes!" If the emperor wants to rectify the salt policy of Lianghuai, we still support it as we did last year; If the emperor wants to do the law of ticket salt, then we will not object to it either! ”

"Are we going to help Wu Shan?" Xu Fan looked surprised.

Yan Ne nodded understandingly, and explained to Xu Fan: "Lord Yuanfu has made it very clear just now, we are acting according to the emperor's wishes!" ”

"If Wu Shan implements the ticket salt law in Lianghuai, how should we explain to Chen Boren and them?" Xu Fan turned his head to look at his father, and asked worriedly.

Yan Ne glanced at the indifferent Xu Jie, and replied firmly: "The law of ticket salt cannot be implemented in Huainan!" ”

"Why is that?" Xu Fan looked at Yan Ne in confusion.

Yan Ne picked up the teacup and gave an answer confidently: "No one will subscribe!" ”

"Enough!"

Xu Fan wanted to continue to ask, but was interrupted by Xu Jie, who glared at his son with hatred.

The essence of the ticket salt law is to reduce the rental space, interrupt the monopoly of large salt merchants, and allow small and medium-sized salt merchants to directly participate.

The cake of Guangdong salt is not too much, and the interest group that fixes Guangdong salt is very weak, so with Lin Haoran's influence, he can implement the ticket salt law. But in the face of Huainan's interest groups, this difficulty will be directly magnified a hundredfold.

Why he was able to replace Yan Song, although it was related to Yan Song's age, and he had done a lot of things behind his back, it was not the consequence of Yan Song's touching the interests of the two Huai salt merchants and the people behind them.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Yan Ne asked seriously: "Lord Yuanfu, who is the right person to send this time?" ”

"The matter of selection is still left to Wu Shan!" Xu Jie thought about it for a while, and then made a decision.

Yan Ne knew that Xu Jie's move was to alleviate the emperor's suspicions, so he asked again: "Who will Wu Shan send?" ”

"It doesn't matter! Who will resist the sugar-coated cannonballs of the dead salt merchants, and who will not hesitate to offend the Huai Salt Merchants and the people behind them for the sake of Wu Shan, there is not a single one in the entire court! Xu Jie confidently analyzed.

He has already seen through this court, and the officials here are either chasing power or money, even if the Qingliu who think highly of themselves is just chasing fame.

At present, the officials who can climb to the third rank are basically through Panyan to get up, and Wu Shan is simply unsent.
