The torrential rain continued, and the rainwater that fell in the courtyard poured towards the outlet, and due to the heavy rain, water gradually appeared, and some sludge and fallen leaves blocked the outlet.

Lin Jinyuan is a very competent housekeeper, who has already regarded this house as his own house, and after finding that the fallen leaves are blocked, he personally braved the rain to clean up the fallen leaves.

Lin Haoran saw all this in his eyes, but his attention was on the conversation with Zhang Wei, so he replied seriously: "Let's put Xu Ge Lao aside first, keep an eye on his sons Xu Fan and Xu Kun, and strive to collect evidence that is enough to kill him with one blow!" ”

When he realized that he couldn't get rid of Yan Song, Xu Jie also set his eyes on Yan Shifan, and finally showed Yan Shifan's various bad behaviors, thus forcing Yan Song to return to his hometown in one fell swoop.

Now Xu Jie is also almost invincible, starting from him is undoubtedly half the effort, it is better to follow Xu Jie's method of dealing with Yan Song, start from his two sons, and finally achieve the goal of defeating Xu Jie.

Zhang Wei nodded lightly, especially knowing that Xu Fan was actually very greedy for money, but he said worriedly: "Senior brother, what if you can't find such evidence?" ”

If you can find it, everyone will be happy, but if you can't find it, the problem will still not be solved.

Lin Haoran looked at the rain curtain in front of him and said eloquently: "The reason why Xu Jie is so fearless in delegating power is because Guo Pu, Yan Ne and others have no protégés, and Xu Jie has not only served as a teacher in the Hanlin Academy for many years, but also presided over the 32nd annual examination of Jiajing. When Jingcha next year, Jiajing's thirty-two years of protégés had just finished the nine years of the exam, and many of his protégés were able to directly serve as the members of the Sixth Division, or even hold important positions in the Sixth Division, so that Xu Jie would have enough strength to suppress either side. ”

It seems that Xu Jie's power is being delegated, but in essence, Xu Jie's has seen this chessboard clearly. As long as these people don't unite to resist him, as long as they pass next year's Jingcha smoothly, he Xu Jie, he will be the biggest beneficiary.

If it was at that time, although Xu Jie did not have the strong control of Yan Song, with his group of protégés occupying important positions, no one could shake his position.

"You're going to stop this from happening?" Zhang Wei immediately asked with some understanding.

"Not bad! Xu Jie wants to use Jingcha to clean us up, but if we can disturb Guo Pu, we can not only protect ourselves, but also prevent the Xu Party from taking the opportunity to grow! Lin Haoran nodded lightly and said his intentions.

Kyocha is a double-edged sword, it can hurt yourself, but it can also hurt others.

"Senior brother, if we want to win over Guo Pu, I'm afraid this matter will not be easy!" Zhang Wei sighed lightly and said worriedly.

In particular, he had already learned one step ahead that Xu Jie obviously had the intention of wooing Guo Pu, and gave two important positions to Guo Pu's people.

"It's even more difficult to topple Yan Song, but Xu Dang has done it, and many things are man-made!" Lin Haoran nodded lightly, but turned his head to look at Zhang Wei to show his determination.

According to the previous rules, the official secretary presided over the affairs of the Beijing inspection, and important positions such as the six departments of Langzhong and the member of the foreign department were arranged by the secretary of the ministry and finally handed over to the cabinet and the emperor for decision.

If Guo Pu can be brought over, as long as Jingcha's proposal is not rejected by then, then their gang will not only be able to survive the catastrophe safely, but also take this opportunity to reach a higher level.

Zhang Wei knew that this was already the best way, and this battle was always a dangerous victory, so he nodded lightly and said: "Zuodu Yu Shi Paine is the core of Xu Jie's iron, but his son Fan Yunduan obviously only won the top three jinshi, but he was arranged by the Ministry of Officials to be the head of the Criminal Department, this matter has been discussed by many people in private, should we encourage it!" ”

"Wait a minute, find a suitable time to make a move!" Lin Haoran thought for a while, but shook his head bitterly and said: "Judging from the current situation, even if Zuodu Yushi is replaced, I'm afraid he won't breathe out of the same nostrils as us!" ”

When Zhang Wei heard the last sentence, he also sighed lightly, knowing that this was indeed the case. In the current court, they are essentially a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

The rainstorm finally stopped at dusk, but the raindrops continued to drip from the eaves.

Yang Futian and the others will go to the government tomorrow, but they are worried that there will be another rainstorm, so they say goodbye to Lin Haoran and return home one after another.

Although Zhang Wei was an official to the right senator of the General Political Department, he still maintained a clean and honest style, and he did not even go to the carriage shop to rent a carriage, but came by the carriage of Zhou Youqing, the head of the ministry.

Yang Futian and Ning Jiang tacitly stayed until the end, and Lin Haoran told the two of them about the conversation with Zhang Wei just now.

One of them is the director of the Ministry of Works and the other is the head of the Ministry of War, and if it is a Beijing inspection, they can be said to be the first to bear the brunt. At the moment, Lin Haoran had already taken precautions and said that he would plan for next year's Jingcha, and they naturally agreed with both hands.

"Walk slowly!"

Lin Haoran personally sent the two to the door and said goodbye to the two.

watched the two of them board the carriage and leave, until the carriage disappeared at the turn of the alley, then turned around and returned to the house.

He knew very well that the party struggle and the power struggle between the monarch and the minister had caused great internal friction, which led to the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and finally forced the people to raise the banner of anti-Ming high.

It's just that he is in the whirlpool of this capital officialdom, if he doesn't fight hard to participate in the battle, let alone realize his life ambition to make Daming rich and powerful, I'm afraid he will be swallowed up by the whirlpool early.

Yin Tai is a good example, in the face of Yan Fu's solicitation, he actually chose to refuse; Faced with a great opportunity for promotion, he gave it directly to his colleagues.

As a result of Yin Tai's failure to participate in this battle game, he was naturally swallowed by the whirlpool of the capital, and was transferred to Nanjing early to retire, and his return to the capital is still far away.

If he didn't fight with Yin Tai like this, then his fate would not be so good either.

Like now, he and Xu Jie have become political enemies, if they choose to blindly tolerate it, thinking that they will be able to return to the court after three or five years of exile, this is undoubtedly a very immature idea.

Not to mention whether he can return to the court after he is released, I am afraid that in three or five years, this court has already been divided by various forces, and he can only obediently sit on the cold bench when he comes back.

Lin Haoran has never handed over his fate to others easily, especially Xu Jie, who has a knife hidden in his smile. Now only by participating in this game of battle can he survive and have a chance to realize his ambitions in life.

When people are in the court, they can't help themselves.
