The sky over the city of Beijing is already covered with dark clouds, and in the occasional electric thunder, the eye can clearly see the rolling clouds, and a torrential rain is already brewing.

The majestic palace complex of Xiyuan also looks small in front of this celestial phenomenon, and it is also terrifying, after all, the three major halls of the Forbidden City were burned by thunder.

Originally, tonight was scheduled for Zhang Guolao's Jiao Zhai activity, but seeing that the sky was not right, and Jiajing's body was unwell, he decided to postpone this Jiao Zhai activity for one day.

The cabinet minister who stayed in Xiyuan tonight was Yan Ne, who had already changed into a grand attire, with a jade belt wrapped around his waist. only learned that this Jiao Zhai activity was canceled, and he also came to the house where Xu Jie lived.

Xu Jie seemed to have guessed that the Jiao Zhai activity would be canceled, and he had been wearing a set of home clothes, and was sipping tea leisurely in the room, and when he saw Yan Ne who came in, he greeted gently: "Minqing, here!" ”

"Excuse me, Gensuke-sama!" Yan Ne's career has always been supported and supported by Xu Jie, otherwise he would have already been released with his pockmarked face, and he respectfully bowed his hand.

Xu Jie said polite words such as okay in his mouth, personally poured a cup of tea for Yan Ne, looked up and saw Yan Ne's preoccupied appearance, and said with a smile: "Minqing, but are you still worried about what happened in Wanshou Palace today?" ”

In today's contest, they and the Wu Lin Party can be described as-for-tat. With the news of Lin Normal's settlement of the Zhenwu camp, the emperor's attitude changed 180 degrees, and they were completely defeated.

Especially Yan Ne acted as a "pawn" this time, which can be said to be the first to bear the brunt.

"The emperor is afraid that he will have a bad heart for us this time! After the emperor sent us away, he actually awarded Lin Ruoyu the title of prince and princess, and I am afraid that the next step is to summon that kid into the cabinet! Yan Ne nodded lightly, and reached out to pick up the teacup and said worriedly.

Today's events originally made him feel depressed, but when he learned that Lin Haoran was actually crowned by the emperor as the crown prince of the first rank, he felt even more worried in his heart.

I thought that when I was fasting tonight, I would win back some goodwill from the emperor, but the heavens were not beautiful. Now that I came to Xu Jie, I also wanted to vent my bitterness to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie didn't seem to be worried about these things at all, and said with wisdom: "The emperor awarded Lin Ruoyu the title of crown prince this time, that is, he really attaches more importance to Lin Ruoyu, but this time...... It's not a shame for the two of us! ”

"What do you mean?" Yan Ne didn't care about drinking tea, and asked with a slight light in his eyes.

Although he has been with the emperor for many years, when it comes to figuring out the thoughts of today's saints, no one can compare with Xu Jie, and he is less than one-tenth of Xu Jie.

Xu Jie took a sip of the teacup, and then analyzed with a smile: "Our emperor focuses on cultivating the Xuan, and it has always been better to have more than one thing, and the most secure solution we provide is actually the most sacred." If there was no news about Lin Ping's suppression of the Zhenwu camp, the emperor would still adopt our opinion this time, and it would even be very likely that Lin Ruoyu would be severely punished. It's just that Lin Ruoyu's luck this time is really good, and the emperor can't help but be happy when he gets the military information from Nanjing, and he also rewards Lin Haoran. The emperor's reward for Lin Haoran and how he views us is actually ...... Different. In my judgment, the emperor will not only blame us, but will also continue to reuse us, and even continue to value our opinions in the future! After a pause, he reminded in a suppressed voice: "Today, the thief is a set of thieves, is the master famous?" Do you have more than enough to eat? Is success a must? ”

When encountering a monarch who is working hard, the courtiers naturally judge the hero by their talent. It's just that today's saint is a king who focuses on cultivating the mysteries, and what he wants is a courtier who can help him mend the pot, a courtier who doesn't make trouble for him.

Xu Jie understood this, when the news came that Guangxi Wei Yinbao had robbed silver and killed officials and invaded his relatives in Guilin City, he did not choose to dispatch Wei Yinbao to suppress it, but adopted a cold treatment method.

Although they lost points this time, the emperor is still the emperor who focuses on cultivation, and they only need to be a courtier to maintain the status quo for the emperor.

A flash of lightning flashed not far away, illuminating the tumbling clouds more clearly.

"Thank you Motosuke for your advice!" Yan Ne is also a very smart politician, and he put down the teacup in a trance, and respectfully bowed to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie seemed to be in a state of limbo, and added: "Minqing, what the emperor wants is a courtier who can give him a peace with the status quo, not a courtier who always wants to show his ambitions!" Today, Yin Taishang resigned, but not only was he impeached, I am afraid that he also understood that he was not the Ministry of Rites that the emperor wanted! ”

At the end of the day, he felt a little sorry in his heart. Although Yin Tai's resignation is the result he wants, leaving in this way is not the result he wants to see.

"Yin Chongji's green words are written in a mess, but he always likes to put on that face of worrying about the country and the people, and he is also interested in resigning!" Yan Ne has never been interested in Yin Tai, and seems to be happy to see it.

Xu Jie nodded noncommittally, and asked seriously: "Yin Tai's resignation is handed over, the emperor should not stop it, but I don't know who you think is suitable?" ”

"It should still be a high arch!" Although Yan Ne was reluctant in his heart, he still said the name of this same year.

Xu Jie smiled and said gently: "That's what I mean!" ”

It has become a foregone conclusion that King Yu will continue to unify, and the status of the high arch can be regarded as a rising tide. Although he had arranged for his protégé Zhang Juzheng to enter the Yuwang Mansion, he also hoped to have a good relationship with Gao Gong and be fully prepared for his future.

"Lord Yuanfu, according to the information I have received, Lin Haoran visited Hu Zongxian in the prison of the Criminal Department today!" Yan Ne knew that there was no suspense about the position of the Ministry of Rites, but he suddenly mentioned another matter.

"He has never been a peaceful person, if he didn't happen to preside over the examination this year, I'm afraid he would have intervened in Yan Shifan's affairs!" Xu Jie silently took a sip of tea, and his face became serious.

Throughout the entire court, the person he has always regarded as the biggest threat is not Wu Shan, but this demonic Lin Wenkui. On the contrary, today he also won the favor of the emperor for Lin Wenkui, and even won the title of prince from the first product.

Yan Ne was also jealous of Lin Haoran in his heart, and asked worriedly: "Lord Yuanfu, what should I do?" ”

"I've already made arrangements for this! Ay...... If there are no surprises, things should have a good outcome! Xu Jie turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window, looking a little clinging to the authentic.

Yan Ne turned his head thoughtfully and looked out, and found that this seemed to be the direction where the yamen of the Criminal Department was located.

Bang......

In the night sky, a bolt of lightning once again streaked across the sky, and a mighty autumn rain suddenly fell, crashing wildly on the rooftops and the courtyard outside.
