Shen Shixing hurriedly walked to the inner room where Zhang Juzheng was resting and said respectfully: "Duke Taiyue, Commander Liu has something important to do. ”

After a while, Zhang Juzheng opened the door.

"Didn't Taiyue Gong sleep?"

Shen Shixing was surprised.

"The old man just squinted for a while, and then he woke up."

Zhang Juzheng's voice was full of exhaustion. He was indeed too tired. Although there are three people in the cabinet, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing are still young after all, and he is mostly up to him to decide.

The burden of a thousand jun is on a person's shoulders, and this person has to be pressed down even if he is an iron man.

"Siyun is here too."

Zhang Juzheng turned to Liu Shouyou again and nodded in harmony.

Liu Shouyou was single-handedly promoted by him, as a native of Macheng, Huguang, he is half of Zhang Juzheng's fellow countryman, and Zhang Juzheng is at ease to use.

But it is precisely because of this that the political opponents in the DPRK attacked Zhang Juzheng and formed a party, causing the Chu party to control the government.

Zhang Ju scoffed at this.

He is dedicated to justice and has a clear conscience. How could it be that because of the attack of a few clowns who jumped off the beam, they would change their ways.

What's more, there have been friends in all dynasties. At first glance, the term may sound derogatory, but when you think about it, how can you do it without friends?

In the cabinet, within the six ministries, the government and the opposition are all officials from all over the world?

It's not that the chicken and the duck are in trouble, and it is difficult to discuss the reason?

In Zhang Juzheng's view, if you want to be efficient in administration, you must maintain a one-word hall.

Forming friends is sometimes helpless. If none of the people around him are his own people, I am afraid that few people will listen to what Zhang Juzheng says.

Therefore, he united with Feng Bao internally and reused Chutang talents externally. Although he carried a lot of black pots because of this, he did not regret it.

Even if there is no Chu Party, will the Ming Dynasty have no friends?

Inexistent.

Without the Chu Party, there will be the Jin Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Fujian Party. It's just a different name.

"Tai Yue Gong. It is really a crime to disturb the rest of Taiyue Gong and deserve death, but there is indeed an important matter to play Taiyue Gong. ”

"Oh, you name it."

Zhang Juzheng didn't like Liu Shou's restrained attitude very much, so he waved his hand and motioned for him to get to the point directly.

"The King of Liao committed suicide in Jinyi Wei Prison."

"What!"

Zhang Juzheng exclaimed: "You said that the King of Liao committed suicide in fear of sin? ”

Zhang Juzheng is really not acting, he really doesn't know.

This matter was directly ordered by the Son of Heaven to Feng Bao, and then Liu Shouyou, who was notified by Feng Bao. From beginning to end, I didn't pass through Zhang Juzheng.

It makes sense for the Son of Heaven to do this. In his opinion, it was just a matter of dealing with a family affair and cleaning up the portal.

Such a trivial matter should not alarm Mr. Motosuke. After all, there are too many things in the court that need Mr. Yuanfu to decide, and his old man is too busy.

Liu Shouyou is actually not sure whether Zhang Juzheng knows.

Therefore, he came to the cabinet to report to Zhang Juzheng, and secondly, to probe Zhang Juzheng's tone.

But at the moment, I am afraid that I can't detect it. Shen Shixing, this fool is next to him, and Taiyue Gong has to pretend not to know even if he really knows.

"Good manner, how could he kill himself? What do you Jinyi Wei do? Has the blade on his body been scavenged? ”

Liu Shouyou smiled bitterly: "Taiyue's words are serious. The Brocade Guards searched every prisoner in the Imperial Prison to ensure that they did not enter the prison with a sharp blade. Not to mention the knife and dagger, even the hairpin on the head of the King of Liao was pulled down by the lower officials. But the King of Liao untied his trouser belt and hanged himself, and the lower officials couldn't ask someone to strip the King of Liao naked and put him in prison, right? The lieutenants were sleeping, and when they woke up, they found that the King of Liao was already dead. ”

Liu Shou's ability to observe words and emotions is first-class, and after some observation, he found that Zhang Juzheng seemed to be really surprised. Could it be that Taiyue Gong really doesn't know?

In this case, it is really not appropriate for him to take the initiative to mention the hint again.

After all, His Majesty is preaching an oral message, and revealing His Majesty's oral message without authorization is a capital crime.

Although Zhang Juzheng has the grace to promote him, Liu Shouyou also has to think about himself.

If Zhang Juzheng already knew about it, then there was nothing to worry about.

He has already informed Zhang Juzheng of the information that the King of Liao "committed suicide in fear of crime", and his responsibility has been fulfilled.

Pretending to be confused in officialdom is also a science. Liu Shouyou was "rarely confused" once.

Zhang Juzheng paced a few steps with his hands behind his back, frowned, and said, "Have you told Your Majesty about this matter?" ”

Liu Shouyou listened to the waterfall sweat. This is what His Majesty meant, on the way to the cabinet, I just went to play a ceremony, do you still need to run twice?

"Well, the lower officials haven't played your majesty yet."

"Confused, confused!"

Zhang Juzheng pointed at Liu Shouyou and reprimanded him severely.

"Siyun, you're really confused about this. You are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and you should be directly responsible to Your Majesty. Now that the King of Liao is committing suicide in the edict, you don't go to report to Your Majesty as soon as possible but you come to the cabinet, what do you think about Your Majesty, and what do you think about the hundred officials? ”

Hearing this, Liu Shouyou was in a cold sweat.

He really didn't expect so much, Zhang Juzheng was really a little scared at such a point.

Whether Zhang Juzheng knew it or not, he should not have come to the cabinet in the first place.

Isn't this a confirmation that he is the Chu Party and the Zhang Party?

He not only pushed himself to the cusp, but also made it difficult for Zhang Ge to do it.

Seeing Liu Shou's frightened look, Zhang Juzheng sighed and said, "That's it, you should quickly follow the old man into the palace now to ask Your Majesty for guilt!" ”

"The subordinate obeys."

Liu Shouyou still dares to say a word now. Naturally, what Zhang Juzheng says is what it is.

Zhang Juzheng turned around again and said to Shen Shixing: "Please leave it to Rumo here." ”

Shen Shixing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Duke Taiyue, the officials will do their best." ”

The words "do your best" are very ingenious.

In Zhang Juzheng's absence, the affairs of the cabinet must be handled by someone. Shen Shixing can't be completely inactive.

But those Shen Shixing, who had important matters, would definitely not dare to make a decision, and he would definitely wait for Zhang Juzheng to come back to make a decision.

He also made it very clear. I'll do my best, but there are some things that I don't want to do, but because I don't have the ability to do them.

The art of officialdom is vividly embodied in these four short words.

Zhang Juzheng nodded with satisfaction, and paced out of the cabinet with Liu Shouyou one after another.

Compared with Zhang Siwei, he admires Shen Shixing more.

Although Zhang Siwei was respectful to him on the face, Zhang Juzheng always felt that he was not convinced by himself in his bones.

Especially in the handling of some things, Zhang Siwei's propositions are too extreme.

It's not that extreme is a bad thing, but governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and sometimes the food added to the fire is too hot and burned.

After all, the Son of Heaven is young, and he has to count on the cabinet for many things. Zhang Juzheng can't allow an extreme person to assist the Son of Heaven.

In comparison, Shen Shixing is more able to handle things calmly and is a good successor.
