Chapter 1843 - Step by Step

Syllable!

Like a crisp sound, a slap slapped heavily on Xu Jie's face.

Yan Ne has already become a pig teammate, not only failed to help Xu Jie's accusation of "inaction", but made Xu Jie's embarrassment even more.

This......

Wu Shan looked at his son-in-law with a complicated look, and he was already impressed again.

On Xu Jie's side, he wanted to use Hai Rui's matter to hold his son-in-law accountable, but the son-in-law not only defended himself reasonably, but also directly counterattacked Xu Jie with Hai Rui's matter, forcing Xu Jie to retreat.

With this mind alone, the son-in-law already has political wisdom that is not weaker than Xu Jie, and is even above Xu Jie, a political genius who is good at judging the situation and sizing up the situation.

"The old man didn't protect the gentry in the southeast, nor did he protect anyone, he only had the current saint in his heart!" Xu Jie tried his best to clear himself, and said loyally to Jiajing.

In terms of loyalty, he did indeed do an impeccable job, otherwise he would not have succeeded in replacing Yan Song as the first assistant, and the Wanshou Palace where he was currently located was also the result of Xu Jie's efforts.

Although Huang Jin, who was standing next to the red lacquer pillar, had no political talent, he looked at Lin Haoran with interest when he saw Xu Jie's easy way to bring back the disadvantage.

Lin Haoran's face looked solemn, but after all, he was a talent who had experienced the cultivation of logical thinking in later generations, and he had a great advantage in debating, so he accused: "Lord Yuanfu, if you really pretend to be the emperor in your heart, then you won't let the emperor misunderstand the world so deeply." Our courtiers naturally want to be loyal to the emperor, but we must also eliminate the misunderstanding of the people in the world about the emperor, this is the real loyalty! ”

When Xu Jie's emphasis on loyalty, Lin Haoran directly redefined loyalty, and already stabbed the spearhead at Xu Jie's inaction in the past four years.

Many things are obvious. Xu Jie's tenure as the first assistant has been nearly four years, but he has not introduced any major measures, even if it is just a slogan.

Although many people say that Xu Jie is a "virtuous minister", this is because Xu Jie is completely different from Yan Song's "solitary phase" style, he chose to "return government affairs to the ministers", so as to win the support of Yang Bo and other forces, rather than what he did to benefit the people's livelihood.

His biggest move in recent years was to purge many core members of the Yan Party from the court, single-handedly directed Yan Shifan Fufa and Hu Zongxian to commit suicide in prison, and forced out the most dangerous Yuan Wei, and strengthened the Xu Party through Yan Ne and Li Chunfang into the cabinet.

It's just that Lin Haoran is like tearing apart Hai Rui in the "Jiajing Prosperous Era" today, and he also tore off the true face of Xu Jie's "virtuous appearance", pointing out that his inaction is the "culprit" that caused the people to misunderstand the emperor.

This......

Huang Jin secretly swallowed and spit, following Lin Haoran's train of thought, Xu Jie really didn't have the "loyalty" he imagined. Of course, this is to be obedient to the emperor, but it is true that the world must be governed well, and this is the real loyal minister.

Jiajing, who was watching the fire from the other side, frowned slightly, looked at Xu Jie thoughtfully, and found that Xu Jie really couldn't be regarded as the most ideal first assistant.

"Lin Shangshu, you keep saying that all the people in the world misunderstand the emperor, don't you, the head of the household, have no responsibility?" Xu Jie felt Jiajing's gaze, but decided to drag Lin Haoran into the water.

Yes, if Xu Ge Lao does not act, then your kid may not be able to escape the blame as the head of the household.

Yan Ne's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Lin Haoran gloatingly.

This...... You won't shoot yourself in the leg, will you?

When Huang Jin saw Xu Jie's accusation, he also looked at Lin Haoran worriedly.

Faced with this accusation, Lin Haoran looked up at Jiajing and said: "Your Majesty, since the minister joined the office, he has always pursued the way of loyal ministers of 'using it to do it, and giving it up to hide it'. The emperor asked the ministers to govern the place, and the ministers were exhausted; The emperor asked his ministers to preside over the opening of the maritime affairs in Guangdong, and the ministers went all out; The emperor asked his ministers to rectify the salt administration, and the ministers were also loyal to their duties. It's just that today Rong Chen is offended, and Wei Chen implores the emperor to allow the implementation of the 'Diao Min' and 'Grain to Silver' to improve people's livelihood and resolve the misunderstanding of the emperor by all the people in the world! ”

The subtext in these words is: he, the head of the household, no longer shirks his responsibilities, chooses to change when he knows his mistakes, does things for the court seriously, and dissolves the misunderstanding of the emperor by all the people in the world.

This...... It's really a three-step calculation!

Li Chunfang couldn't help but glare slightly when she heard these words.

From accusing Xu Jie's inaction, to redefining loyalty, and then to his desire to "act", and finally throwing out his two major measures of "Diao Min's Book" and "Levying Grain to Silver", it can be said that it is step by step.

In this dispute, the question has come to the two major measures of whether to implement the "Diao Min" and "Levy grain to silver".

It's just that Xu Jie has already publicly expressed his opposition, and if these two measures are promulgated, it will undoubtedly slap Xu Jie's face in the face.

If these two measures achieve good results, not only can they not be regarded as a merit of Xu Jie, but they will also be a political black spot for Xu Jie.

On the other hand, Wu Shan and Lin Haoran will be able to gain a lot through this matter, not only to get the support of more officials, but also to win a high reputation.

Under this situation, Xu Jie's throne must be crumbling, and the voice of forcing this old chief assistant to "let Xian" will only get louder and louder, and will eventually be replaced by Wu Shan.

"Your Majesty, Diao Min's register and the requisition of grain to silver are too radical, and they must not be implemented!" Yan Ne knew that he couldn't let Lin Haoran succeed, so he even dissuaded him.

Wu Shan turned his head and glanced at Xu Jie, but he saw that Xu Jie's face was already sinking like water, and this Shousuke, who had always laughed at Mimi, was already unprecedentedly dignified.

Huang Jin, who was standing next to the red lacquer pillar, also realized that this was Lin Haoran's plan, so he turned his head to look at Jiajing curiously.

Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, but his heart was wavering. Although Lin Haoran said that made his heart move, Yan Ne was also reasonable, worried that this step was a bit big.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Jie and asked, "Elder Xu Ge, what do you think?" ”

Hey?

Li Chunfang and the others turned their heads to look at Xu Jie, and their mouths suddenly opened slightly.

Xu Jie actually took off the black gauze hat on his head, put the black gauze hat on the ground, and said sadly to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, the old minister has always been loyal to the emperor, and what he does is also for the sake of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty. If the emperor also thinks that the old minister has done something wrong, then the old minister is willing to resign as the first assistant! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

But no one thought that this seemingly ordinary thing would make trouble to the point of the resignation of the head of the court.
