Although he has not been officially hired, Zhang Juzheng is already unimpeded in the Xu Mansion, and the subordinates are also respectful to him, although there are occasional rumors that this person has lost his wife and wants to cling to the Xu family, but after the two mouthy maids were beaten to pieces, no one rapped.

Under the guidance of the maid, Zhang Juzheng first went to the backyard to visit Zhang, and then went to the small courtyard with Xu Fan.

"How?" Zhang repelled his subordinates and beckoned to his daughter behind the screen.

Miss Xu Si's expression didn't change much, frowning and not knowing what she was thinking, she didn't react for a while.

Zhang's sighed, knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, of course she knew that her daughter was comparing the two in her heart, after all, Qian Yuan has long been famous all over the world, even in the court, it has a lot of weight, and Zhang Juzheng's ass sitting on a cold bench in Hanlin Academy is now calloused.

"I look pretty young, not like I'm in my early thirties." Zhang persuaded: "The long ones are also upright, and there is nothing wrong with their speech and demeanor." ”

Zhang Juzheng is handsome, which is recorded in the notes of the Ming people and the history of the wild, and the night sleeping dragon bed is not only because he is in power, but also because he is handsome.

Well, of course, in Miss Xu Si's opinion, Qian Yuan, who retains the habits of his previous life in many places, seems to be a maverick, which can attract her attention even more.

"Although I have only been studying in Hanlin so far, the master will definitely make a leap in the future, and you don't need to worry about the future." Zhang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Since you don't want to pick an honest life, it's only him...... Besides, the master has set it, and it won't hurt if you don't let go. ”

Seeing his daughter's stubborn appearance, Zhang simply added fire, "Zhang Juzheng and that person are close friends, he once said in front of the master that Uncle Zhang has a great talent. ”

"You also know that person seems to be easy-going, but in fact he is arrogant, and everyone in the garden is amazing, and he can value Zhang Juzheng so much......"

"Alright." Miss Xu Si gritted her teeth and squinted, "It's him." ”

Zhang's breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let the former Qingke go to discuss the next hire and other matters, and after another year, her daughter will become an old girl.

In the study, Xu Jie had just come back from Xiyuan, Xu Fan and the old housekeeper were waiting, silver dust charcoal stove, soup woman, hot towel, and a bowl of white porridge that had been prepared a long time ago.

After a long while, Xu Jie waved his hand and asked the old butler to call someone.

Most of the literati in this era paid attention to the imperial examination, although there were also masters and staff, but they were generally foreign officials, and there were few staff members in the Beijing official mansion, and many Qing guests.

Therefore, although top bureaucrats such as Xia Yan, Yan Song, and Xu Jie have gathered power, there are not many real core members, and most of them are extremely close relationships, such as in-laws, teachers and students, and even simply sons.

Yan Song's son Yan Shifan is the most typical example, although Xu Jie hated Xu Fan and was not angry, but he also let him enter this circle.

In addition to Xu Fan and Xu She, Zhang Juzheng, a student and future son-in-law who has been under the sect, is naturally also a member, and there is also Lu Guangzu, who is highly valued by Xu Jie, and is also a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing.

Everyone sat down in the study, and Xu Fan began to talk at length about the imperial court's strict ban on the sea, the extermination of the Japanese invaders, and the hunting and killing of maritime merchants, but someone actually openly set up a city in Ningbo Mansion to trade, colluded with the Japanese invaders, and regarded the imperial court decrees as if they were nothing......

Xu Jie lay on the thick recliner and closed his eyes to recuperate, the other three looked at each other, all indifferent, obviously, Xu Fan didn't have the courage to take the initiative to stir up trouble, it should be Xu Jie's acquiescence.

Zhang Juzheng secretly slandered in his heart, scolding his son-in-law like this, isn't it because people look down on you, maybe they blame him for not giving you dividends.

Lu Guangzu's face was quite different, he was deeply trusted by Xu Jie, but he never knew that there was such a gap between Qian Yuan and Xu Jie, who were the in-laws of the Xu family.

After a while, Xu Fan, who was happy to speak, asked cautiously: "Father, do you want Qingliu to write a book for impeachment?" ”

Xu Jie opened his eyes and reprimanded: "Nonsense! ”

Xu Fan blinked blankly, didn't you always let me catch that kid and talk about it ruthlessly?

"Now that Yan's party is powerful, although Yan Fenyi is old, Yan Donglou is presiding over the voting in the cabinet." Lu Guangzu shook his head and said, "Don't move lightly." ”

Xu Jie glanced at his son, disappointed in his heart, he mentioned it this morning, but he didn't figure it out for a day, and others only listened to a cup of tea to understand.

Where did Qian Yuan dare to rashly set up a city in Ningbo Mansion to trade, there is a good chance that His Majesty knows about this matter, and King Yu knows it in his heart, Xu Jie's current enemy is Yan Song, how can he poke this hornet's nest.

This hornet's nest is poked, it's hard to say what advantage he can take advantage of, but it will definitely make His Majesty and King Yu unhappy, and maybe Qian Yuan will be driven to Yan Song's side...... Xu Jie didn't believe that his in-laws could contain Qian Yuan at all.

Therefore, the person discussed today should be Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang.

And Lu Guangzu said that "don't move lightly" is aimed at Hu Zongxian, and it is also aimed at Yan Song and Yan Shifan behind Hu Zongxian.

Zhang Juzheng's mind changed sharply, how could Hu Zongxian be involved in the establishment of a market and trade...... Quite simply, alone.

Wang Zhi.

Sure enough, Xu Jie's next sentence was, "Hu Ruzhen is quite strategic, but unfortunately he is so happy, Wang Zhi and his ilk are just bandits, how can they be honest, they will inevitably rebel in the future, and there will be no peace in the southeast." ”

Zhang Juzheng shuddered, these words were an understatement, but in fact, they were secretly murderous, you must know that it was Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, who appeased Wang Zhi, and Qian Yuan did not have this power.

It has been nearly half a year since Wang Zhi was appeased, and the situation in Zhejiang, Susong and other places has rapidly improved, and there are rumors of victories in suppressing the Japanese, unlike other Beijing officials, Zhang Juzheng once went to the southeast, and once wanted to go to Ligang, and also discussed with Qian Yuan and Xu Wei in Suiyuan about the southeast Japanese rebellion.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng knew very well that if Wang was in chaos, trade would inevitably be cut off, and the rebellion would inevitably arise again.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Juzheng said: "Hu Ruzhen is so happy, but Wang Zhi has set up a city to trade with Ligang and Hou Taoshan, and there are few lootings. ”

Lu Guangzu nodded slightly, "Prime minister, if you impeach Hu Ruzhen on the grounds of rashly appeasing Wang Zhi or even colluding with the Japanese Invaders, the trade route will be cut off, and I am afraid that the two Zhejiang and Zhejiang will be in trouble again." ”

Lu Guangzu is a native of Pinghu, Jiaxing Prefecture, and is no stranger to maritime trade, and knows that if the trade route is cut off, chaos will inevitably break out.

Xu Fan, who finally understood, said angrily: "Father said that bandits and others have integrity, there will be troubles, Hu Zongxian and Qian Yuan rashly appeased, it is really a failure!" ”

After a pause, Xu Fan said the most critical sentence, "Hu Zongxian is a member of the Yan Party, if he has merit in appeasing Wang Zhi, when will he be able to set things right?!" ”

"Now that it's late autumn and near winter, it's like it's about to die, but when it starts spring next year, it's in good spirits again, how many years has it been?!"

"Do you want my father to survive until he dies?!"

Lu Guangzu and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other and were silent, they were both famous ministers in the history of the Ming Dynasty, both in terms of ability and vision, they were first-class, and they naturally knew that their teachers were not the kind of people with belly like Nie Bao.

Nie Bao was imprisoned by Xia Yan that year, and then Xia Yan was framed and imprisoned by Yan Song.

This kind of thing would never happen to Xu Jie...... Zhang Juzheng remembered that Qian Yuan once commented in a disdainful tone, Xu Huating was even more ruthless than Yan Donglou.

In the eyes of many people, Xu Jie, the 10,000-year-old turtle king, wanted to survive Yan Song, but everyone in the house knew that there was only a glimmer of possibility, and Xu Jie didn't want Yan Song to die.

In this case, taking Hu Zongxian is the top priority, Hu Zongxian is backed by the Yan Party, but in turn, the Yan Party also uses Hu Zongxian as the pillar.

It is precisely because of the chaos in the southeast that Hu Zongxian became the governor of Zhejiang, so that several provinces in the southeast were promoted, soldiers and horses in the six provinces were in charge, and countless resources were tilted towards the southeast and Hu Zongxian, and the power of the Yan Party in the court swelled to this point.
