The city of Beijing has not been affected by the change of weather, whether it is the powerful officials or ordinary people, they all live with each other in a step-by-step manner.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and what happened in Xiyuan quickly spread to the outside world.

When they saw Lin Haoran turn the danger into a disaster again, all forces not only re-examined Lin Haoran's wisdom and ability, but also paid more attention to Lin Haoran, the number one person.

In the past, everyone was always accustomed to dividing the Wushan group by the "Wu faction", but now it has quietly become the "Wu Lin faction".

Although Wu Shan was the second assistant of the high power of the dynasty, and he was also the one closest to the throne of the first assistant, the status of Lin Haoran, the head of the household department, was also more and more prominent.

Whether it is his political advocacy or his personal political talent, coupled with the emperor's increasing appreciation of Lin Haoran's financial management ability, Lin Haoran has a pivotal position in the court.

The most important thing is that the biggest political disagreement in the court is the contradiction between the conservatives represented by Xu Jie and the reformers represented by Lin Haoran, and Lin Haoran is the most distinctive figure of the reformers, and he has been promoting the two political propositions of "Diao Minshu" and "Levying Grain to Silver".

Of course, although Lin Haoran's status is becoming more and more prominent, it is not that Lin Haoran wants to "elevate" Wu Shan, but more that Wu Shan is silently supporting Lin Haoran to display his political ambitions behind his back.

Lin Haoran survived the catastrophe safely, which not only shows that the plan to snipe Lin Haoran has failed, but also indicates that Lin Haoran's position in the court is becoming more and more stable.

It is not terrible for a young Tobe Shangshu, but what is terrible is that this Tobe Shangshu has excellent political talents, and more and more officials are joining his command.

Even the Jin Party, headed by Yang Bo, had to adjust its strategy and even make some concessions.

In the past, Yang Bo was proud of his military talent and built the military department into his own fortress. It's just that Lin Haoran's status is becoming more and more prominent, and the "south-to-north transfer" and "south-to-north transfer" proposed by him are undoubtedly more weighty.

Faced with the quiet change in the situation, Yang Bo shouted hard in his heart: "The current Shoufu is still Xu Ge Lao, not his father-in-law Wu Yuejing, let alone him Lin Ruoyu!" ”

In fact, the essence of the current court is still Xu Jie's government, and it is Xu Jie's replacement of Yan Song, the former minister of power, who occupies three of the four in the cabinet.

As long as Yang Bo firmly hugged Xu Jie's thighs, he would be able to offset some of Lin Haoran's pressure, but it would definitely be impossible for the military department to be surnamed Yang as before.

In the evening, the sunset in the west is shrouded in dark clouds, and the gloomy city of Beijing appears to be overcast and windy, and a torrential rain seems to be coming at any moment.

Hour Yongfang, Xufu.

Xu Jie's same year, fellow villagers and protégés visited one after another, which made this house quite lively, and it was a sumptuous banquet that was gathered.

Like his predecessor Yan Song, Xu Jie chose to stay in Xiyuan most of the time, but he would also come out on some fixed days to meet with the core members of the Xu Party.

Tonight's door-to-door visit was Hu Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Qian Bangyan, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, Zhang Shouzhi, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Zhang Juzheng, the secretary of Guozijian, and everyone sat around the table.

Although Lin Haoran survived this difficult time unharmed, there was no substantial loss on their side, and Xu Jie's position in the first assistant was becoming more and more stable.

There has been no major event in the court recently, and this time sitting in this banquet is mainly to enhance the relationship.

Hu Song's beard is white, and several teeth have been lost, but the whole person looks energetic.

He is now in charge of the authority of the ministry, which can be regarded as a great help to Xu Jie, but he is secretly cultivating friends or eliminating dissent, and at the same time implementing key suppression of Wu Shan's protégés.

Although Qian Bangyan, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Shouzhi, the secretary of Dali Temple, were in the third grade, they did not have much authority in their hands, and they seemed a little restrained sitting in front of this banquet at this time.

Xu Jie's amount of alcohol is average, but he doesn't drink too much, and after asking about the status of the three of them, he asked Zhang Juzheng with concern: "Taiyue, how are you doing in Yuwang Mansion recently?" ”

When Hu Song and the others heard this, they turned their heads to look at Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Shouzhi's eyes flashed with jealousy.

With the death of King Jing, the next emperor is already King Yu without the slightest suspense.

Guo Xiyan, an official of the Ministry of Rites who was executed for requesting the establishment of the crown prince, learned from the past, although a great "meritorious service" was in front of him, but no one dared to take this risk.

It's just that all forces are silently moving closer to King Yu, and King Yu's intimacy represents the future distribution of power in the court, and Zhang Juzheng, as the future emperor, is naturally rising.

"Everything is fine with the students in Yuwangfu, but the use of Yuwangfu is quite nervous, but the imperial court also cut Yuwang's Lu rice last year!" Zhang Ju faced Xu Jie's inquiry, and responded respectfully.

"Due to the implementation of Lin Ruoyu's former clan regulations, King Yu's rice will inevitably be reduced, and King Yu has no fiefdom, so this food level must not be nervous!" When Hu Song heard this, he also expressed his opinion.

Qian Bangyan, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Shouzheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, were silent, and they didn't have much say in this banquet, but turned their heads to look at Xu Jie.

"Whether the expenses of Yuwangfu can be reasonably allocated and how to help Yuwangfu alleviate the financial crisis is actually up to Wushan!" When Xu Jie heard this, he said bitterly.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the Yuwang Mansion, and the money is owned by the Ministry of Households, but the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household are all from Wushan.

Zhang Juzheng seemed to be prepared, but said to Xu Jie: "Master, next month is Concubine Du Kang's birthday, can we make this year's birthday more grand with King Yu?" ”

The so-called Concubine Du Kang was the biological mother of King Yu, who entered the palace as a show girl and died in the 33rd year of Jiajing. It's just that in terms of etiquette, Concubine Du Kang no longer has the specifications of the birthday sacrifice, and Hu Song and the others looked at Xu Jie.

"Okay, you mention it to Yuwang! For the full help of the teacher's association, it will definitely make this Du Kangfei's birthday festival impressive! If Xu Jie thinks about it, he is seriously responding to the Tao.

Zhang Ju just entered Yuwang's Mansion last year, and now with Xu Jie's support, he can undoubtedly get closer to Yuwang, so he happily arched his hand and said: "Yuwang knows that the master is so helpful, and he will be very grateful to the teacher!" ”

Xu Jie's desire was exactly this effect, and he couldn't help but smile heartily. With this proud protégé as a link, his relationship with King Yu will only become more and more intimate, and the first assistant of the next dynasty will still be him Xu Huating.
