When night falls, thousands of lights come on.

After Lin Haoran sent Yang Futian and the others away, he returned to the study to have tea, Sun Jixiang and Wang Zhideng soon came here, and a secret discussion began.

After knowing the more detailed experience of the Wanshou Palace today, Wang Zhideng said happily: "Dong Weng, it is really a wise move for you to pull the table today, and now we can plan the position of the first assistant for Wu Ge Lao!" ”

"Mr. Wang, I don't know what to think?" The corners of Lin Haoran's mouth rose slightly, and he asked calmly.

Sun Jixiang knew that Wang Zhideng would not be untargeted, and he turned his head to look at Wang Zhideng curiously.

Wang Zhideng took a sip of tea and said eloquently: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes at the time, but your accusation of Xu Jie's inaction has already hit Xu Jie's 'seven inches', and the emperor is afraid that the emperor has moved the mind of letting you two sons-in-law replace Xu Jie!" After a pause, he continued: "Xu Jie is indeed a top master of power arts, and in the four years that he has served as the first assistant, Yan Dang has been purged by him. Now his friends Yan Ne and Li Chunfang have entered the cabinet, and Hu Song has also been pushed to the position of the secretary of the ministry, and he has attracted Yang Bo, Huang Guangsheng and Zhang Shouzhi and other forces, Xu Huating can be said to be friends all over the government and the opposition. It's just that during the four years he was in power, the imperial court not only did not launch any major measures beneficial to the people's livelihood, but also adopted a negative attitude in the face of the Wanyangshan rebellion in Jiangxi, the Wei Taiqing rebellion in Shaanxi, and the Fengjizu rebellion in Yunnan. For example, Yunnan Feng Jizu is just an ordinary barbarian force, but as a result, the imperial court only sent a small number of troops to clean it up, and there was no result in the battle for more than three years, which made us and others ashamed. Over the years, it was the eldest lady who rebelled against Wei Yinbao in Guangxi, otherwise Wei Yinbao is still a disaster for the people in the Gutian area today, threatening the capital of Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty. Such a first assistant said that he was concerned about the overall situation, sympathetic to the people's feelings and unwilling to raise a military incident, but he was also too weak. Dong Weng openly accused Xu Jie's inaction this time, as long as he continued to exert his strength on the point of 'inaction', not to mention that the emperor would definitely let Wu Ge Lao replace him, he Xu Huating was probably shameless in the court. ”

"Huh...... Bo Gu, you said that Xu Huating was shameless and stood in the court, then you really underestimated his face! When Sun Jixiang heard this conclusion, he responded with a smile.

Lin Haoran's face also showed a wry smile, knowing that Xu Jie would definitely not leave the scene angrily because of shame, how could such a mature and insidious politician make such a childish move.

However, he knew that Wang Zhideng's analysis was very correct, and this "inaction" would definitely continue to make a fuss, so he asked Wang Zhideng: "Mr. Wang, then what should we do next?" ”

"Dong Weng will go all out to promote the imperial court to implement the 'Diao Min Register'!" Wang Zhideng pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the tea lightly, and responded as if he had already made up his mind.

Sun Jixiang immediately asked suspiciously: "Why must it be Diao Minji?" ”

"It is true that the gentry in the world attach importance to money, but they cherish their fame even more, and this Jin merchant Zhang Siwei became the head of the Jin merchant in one fell swoop. We are all scholars, and our parents have done everything so that we can pass the imperial examination and enter the government, so how can they risk the future of themselves and their children and grandchildren because they are greedy for some small profits? As long as the imperial court promulgates this Diao people's book? The summer tax is at least 30% more? It's enough to let the emperor and the world know the gap between you and Xu Jie! Wang Zhideng gently put down the teacup and responded very firmly.

Although the Diao Min Book has not yet been implemented? But out of knowledge of the situation? Coupled with what he saw and heard, he knew that Diao Minshu must be a good recipe to save the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Jixiang heard this analysis? He also nodded lightly and said, "Hehe...... This can be said to be a conspiracy! ”

Xu Jie's inaction is already a fact, if they "do something" here? So not to mention how the emperor will choose? More and more officials will turn to Lin Haoran's side.

After all, there are officials in this officialdom who Xu Jie can woo, but there are more officials that Xu Jie can't woo, and they will even spontaneously become a member of Xu.

Lin Haoran picked up the teacup? But he said bitterly: "Diao Minshu has the best effect? But he has the most resistance, and although it can be pushed to the court, the odds of winning are slim. ”

They can see the huge potential hidden in Diao Minshu, and Xu Jie's side can also see it, so Xu Jie will definitely do everything possible to prevent him from implementing this plan.

"Dong Weng? Now you have to try your best to win over the officials of the Northern Department and win their full support! "Wang Zhideng is well aware of the resistance? But he said it seriously.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea, but shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yang Bo and Zhang Shouzhi are almost wearing the same pants as Xu Jie?" Guo Pu was forced by my father-in-law to help us in the New Year! ”

"I don't mean these three!" Wang Zhideng seemed to mean something else.

Lin Haoran pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the tea lightly, and said with a slight movement in his heart: "You mean high arch?" ”

"Gao Gong is Yuwang's most senior teacher? Now his status can be described as rising! Although he is second to Guo Pu? But Guo Pu has almost no possibility of serving as the first assistant? Now many officials in the northern department have switched to the command of Gao Gong! Gao Gong is different from Xu Jie, he is an official who wants to do something, and he is not close to Xu Jie! Wang Zhideng said seriously.

Sun Jixiang listened to this analysis, but shook his head lightly and said, "Bo Gu, I'm afraid you're too optimistic!" I have also studied Gao Gong, although Gao Gong has innovative ideas, but he is arrogant and arrogant, but I hope that he will take charge of the overall situation. Either he will personally implement the Diao Minshu, or he will serve as the first assistant and then promulgate this policy, and he will not want to implement it now! In my opinion, the high arch will probably not be our help, and may even become our resistance! ”

For viewing people, Sun Jixiang is already beyond the reach of the dust, and his eyes have almost never missed.

Wang Zhideng frowned slightly, and said with a look of disappointment: "So so! I'm afraid there is no hope of winning over the northern officials through the high arch, and it is impossible for Huang Guangsheng of Fujian to win them over, so only the Zhejiang and Jiangxi departments are left! ”

Although they very much hope to bring down Xu Jie, they have to face the fact that although Xu Jie, who is not as "independent" as Yan Song, Xu Jie, has already won over most of the forces through "decentralization" and other means, and his overall strength is not weaker than Yan Song back then.

Lin Haoran saw that the two of them were depressed, so he took a sip of tea and said: "Whether it is a cabinet meeting or a real court meeting, the real decision power is still in the hands of the emperor!" It is difficult for us to fight against Xu Jie, but our emperor probably also knows this, as long as things make a fuss, we still have a chance to implement the Diao Minshu! ”

Xu Jie and Wang Zhideng listened to Lin Haoran's analysis, their eyes lit up slightly, but they gave a salute with sincerity.

As they came into contact with Lin Haoran more and more, they felt more and more that Lin Haoran was terrible and could often find another way to solve things. Now that he can say that, then Lin Haoran may still be able to plan this matter, and it is even possible to achieve a final victory.

Lin Haoran glanced up at the moonlight outside the courtyard, but suddenly remembered another thing and said: "Elder Xu Ge tried his best to stop Emperor Nan Xingyingtian today, I think this matter is a little strange, it is estimated that there is a lot of article in the Chengtian Palace!"

"Didn't we send someone to check earlier?" Sun Jixiang asked suspiciously.

Wang Zhideng knew that Lin Haoran had a very keen sense of politics, and turned his head to look at Lin Haoran with a solemn face.

Lin Haoran put down the teacup, shook his head lightly and said, "The last inspection should not have been thorough enough, and we didn't pay enough attention to it!" Mr. Wang, it's up to you to handle this matter, check if there's anything we have overlooked! ”

"Good!" Wang Zhideng nodded solemnly.

On this night, the biggest political confrontation in recent years is brewing, all parties are secretly plotting, and a fierce clash between the courts seems to be staged at any time.
