"No, just say it. Even if you don't help me, I'll be wronged in this cabinet. I can't think of a way to solve the money shortage, and there is no way to do it with the high arch. The point is that I think that with the high arch, I will continue to be wronged in the future.

However, you are different.

Throughout your inaccessibility to the court, all those who follow you, not only do you not rob them of their credit, but also share your credit. Your character is really made, even the people of Xu Jiejie and Gao Gong admire your character. ”

"But......" Luo Xin said with a somewhat tangled expression: "You really have to suffer some grievances this time." ”

"I'm not afraid!" Gao Gong patted his chest.

"This is the first time I have wronged the people who follow me, and I feel a little difficult in my heart." Luo Xin's expression was still entangled.

Ma Fang Zhengse said: "No, you are the one who will become the first assistant of the cabinet in the future, you can't be so soft-hearted." Let his subordinates be wronged for a while, and give him a better future in the future, this is the quality that every superior must have. Look at Xu Jie, Gao Gong, which of their subordinates has not been wronged?

Today you don't have to be polite to your brother, you can do whatever you want. ”

"Good!" Luo Xin seemed to have finally made up his mind and said, "I can't be the head of a whip. On the one hand, the head of the cabinet is Xu Jie, which I can't grab. The most important thing is that if I become the general person in charge of a whip, I will not only solve the problems you encountered, but also solve the problems encountered by Zhang Juzheng. If a whip is successful, I have merit, you and Zhang Juzheng also have merit, and I will become useless. ”

"What do you mean......" Ma Fang reacted a little: "You want to make Zhang Juzheng make a mistake!" ”

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "So I can't help you for the time being, so after you and Zhang Juzheng can't solve the problem of money shortage, I will find a way to solve it."

Xu Jie has already said that in three months, if you and Zhang Juzheng can't solve the problem of money shortage, the two of you will be punished. Brother, you are going to be wronged, and you are going to drop one place in the ranking, and you sit behind Yan Na. However, Zhang Juzheng was unable to govern for three years, and even lost the right to vote in the cabinet, and could only be equivalent to a secretary.

In this way, although I am still ranked fifth and have not distanced myself from Zhang Juzheng's position, three years of not being able to govern is enough for me to do a lot of things. ”

"No problem!" Ma Fang immediately nodded and said, "It's just a drop of one seat, it doesn't matter." As long as you don't think about your brother more in the future. ”

Luo Xin naturally understood what Ma Fang meant, and Ma Fang had no problem dropping one place this time, because Luo Xin didn't help him, and he couldn't solve the problem of money shortage, so he would definitely drop one place. But now, although he has slipped one place, he has won Luo Xin's trust, as long as Luo Xin does not let him continue to decline in the future.

"Don't worry!" Luo Xin said with a serious expression: "I won't fail you." ”

"I am naturally relieved, and the people who follow you are relieved." Ma Fang smiled and sent a sycophant. In fact, it reminded Luo Xin that he would have to cover me well in the future.

Luo Xin nodded with a smile and said, "The military department ......"

"Don't worry!" Ma Fang patted his chest and said: "I also used to be in charge of the military department, and those people in the army, my brother still has some prestige. Wang Guoguang is not to be worried. ”

"That's good!"

Luo Xin's face showed joy, Xu Jie's criminal department, now he can't intervene, and the high-arched official department can be operated more or less, after all, the previous six-year big exam was in charge of the official department. It's just that although it can be operated, it is also very difficult, and it can only secretly cultivate some teams, but it is impossible to compete with Gao Gong in the official department. However, this is also stronger than the criminal department mastered by Xu Jie!

In the Ministry of Rites, Luo Xin's capital is still very strong. The left and right attendants are their own people, although Xu Jie forcibly separated Luo Xin and the Ministry of Rites in form, but this is not a division if he wants to. It can be said that for now, at least Luo Xin also has half of the right to speak in the Ministry of Rites. If Tao Xingyan and Chen Yiqin can further elevate Zhao Zhenji, the Ministry of Rites will return to Luo Xin's hands. On the surface, the household department has nothing to do with Luo Xin, but is Luo Xin's local business really in vain over the years?

The household department is in charge of money and food.

But, look at what Luo Xin has done all these years?

Establish a southern city and a mutual market in the north. There is also the recovery of Tuntian. Many of the officials in charge of agriculture and commerce are now Luo Xin's subordinates, although the officials are not big, although they are no longer in the capital, they are in the locality. However, they stuck Tobe's neck. They are the source of blood for the household, and if they don't send money to the household, what will happen to the household?

will encounter huge trouble, and all the ministries and yamen in the capital will step on the threshold of the household department, and they will all go to ask for money. If you don't have money, the impeachment will be like snowflakes. Therefore, Luo Xin has the killer weapon to crack down on the household. It can be said that Luo Xin has mastered the source of the household department. The last Ministry of Industry is in charge of Luo Xin, and Luo Xin is confident that he will take this Ministry of Industry into his own hands.

In this way, the household department, the ritual department, the engineering department, the official department, and the military department. Although none of the six parts are now in Luo Xin's hands, Luo Xin can find the gap between the needles, and it is not impervious.

Especially today's defection of Ma Fang, it can be said that he has basically put the soldiers into his pocket. If Luo Xin takes down the Ministry of Industry again, Tao Xingyan and Chen Yiqin will empty the kingdom again. Luo Xin was in full control of the three departments. It's better than Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

Luo Xin looked at Ma Fang and said, "Brother, I don't think you should show your side with me." ”

"You mean to let me continue to be a mole in the high-arch camp?"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary, it's just that we are weak at the moment." You also know that Xu Jie and I are incompatible. So I can only choose to be in league with the high arch. At this time, if you abandon Gao Gong and go to me, what do you think Gao Gong will do? ”

Ma Fang's face changed, and then he smiled bitterly: "The entire Ming Dynasty knows that Gao Gong's heart is not broad-minded. If he knew that I had abandoned him, he would have gone madly to take revenge on me and against you. even did not hesitate to join forces with Xu Jie. ”

"Yes, and we're really weak now. The cabinet is now a two-man meeting, and it is Gao Gong and Xu Jie. We are still too weak to grow into a three-legged situation. Therefore, we must avoid trouble, survive and grow in the cracks of the battle between the two heroes. And we also need an alliance with the high arch.

Brother, you don't need to be a traitor, that's an insult to my brother. You just keep doing it with the high arch. There is basically no conflict between us and Gao Gong, after all, we and Gao Gong are in a situation where we are joining forces to deal with Xu Jie. ”
