Nowadays, when the three elders can reach a consensus, it is very, very rare, but here in Xu Wenbi, it is suddenly unified. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Wei and Shen always solved some doubts in their hearts, so they changed the topic, the three of them chatted, and the two deliberately changed the topic, so it was difficult to talk on the previous topic, so Zhao Zhigao also chatted with the two, waiting for Xu Wenbi to come out of the palace.

Don't look at the three of them chatting very happily now, it is absolutely impossible to see such a picture in the past, the relationship between these three elders is really unpredictable.

Don't look at Shen has always been close to Zhao Zhigao, but in his heart, Shen has always looked down on Zhao Zhigao the most, Zhao Zhigao is a typical 'and mud pavilion old' and 'good old man pavilion old', so unless there is something important or important, Shen has always never come to Zhao Zhigao's side, and the temperament and way of doing things between the two are completely bipolar.

Although Zhang Wei didn't look down on Zhao Zhigao this time, the person he despised the most in his heart was Shen Zhengyi, Shen Zhengyi was hypocritical, pretentious, easy to manipulate power, and unauthorized power, these are just that, what he didn't like the most was that Shen Zheng never put him in his eyes this time.

Zhao Zhigao's first assistant, although it is stronger than those people in the history of the 'paper paste three pavilion elders' or something, but some of them are stronger, his ruling policy is to do it if nothing happens, so no matter which department of people it is, if something happens, he will settle his mind, if the two assistants quarrel, he will not pull the shelf, he will only appease at both ends, give benefits hard, and let the two of them stop.

Don't look at Zhao Zhigao is such a personality, in fact, he still attaches great importance to the cultivation of his successor, thinking in his heart, I can't solve the shortcomings of the imperial court, so I count on my successor to solve it, so he has put a lot of effort into the cultivation of the successor, whether it is Zhang Wei or Shen Zhengyi, if there is anything to ask him for advice, he knows everything and says everything.

To be honest, you three elders chatting, no matter how deliberately you avoid some things, you can inadvertently turn the topic back to the topic while chatting.

I don't know who started it, the three of them chatted and chatted about the war in Korea, some time ago Xing Jue sent a good news, the army won more with less in Jishan, and beheaded the enemy with 600 heads.

The three elders were all people who knew how to fight, and they saw too much from this victory, which not only delayed the Japanese offensive, but also bought valuable time for their own reinforcements and several other routes, and the initiative of the war suddenly returned to their own hands, which was a very important turning point.

Since we are talking about the war, it is impossible to avoid domestic ones when we talk about foreign countries, especially Liu Zheng in China, who has such a big light bulb and pestle under my nose, and you can't avoid it if you want to.

But when you talk about Liu Zheng, you can't help but talk about what happened in Linqing recently, as long as you talk about Linqing, then you can't stop talking about the death of eight noble children, and this topic will be spared back all of a sudden.

There are two reasons why Zhang Wei and Shen have always avoided this topic, one is that both of them think that Xu Wenbi is an opponent of the same grade as them, and even slightly higher than them, don't look at the three of them here, but there are more than a dozen people in the outer room, the sound insulation effect inside and outside can't be said to be bad, it can be said that there is no, you talk too much about people here, who knows if there are any people outside who are close to Xu Wenbi, even if they are not close, do you know if anyone secretly went to snitch?

This second reason has a lot to do with the previous reason, if you don't want to speak ill of people behind your back, you have to praise people when you talk about it, but with the pride of both of them, it is absolutely impossible for them to praise a noble in front of so many people.

As soon as the topic came back, the two of them were silent, and they became the first assistant Zhao Zhigao to sing a one-man show, but Zhao Zhigao is also an old man, how can there be nothing to lead these two people to speak?

Zhao Zhigao talked for a while, and felt that the time was almost up, so he smiled and said: "I heard that more than a dozen fast horses entered Beijing last night!" ”

Zhang Wei and Shen were slightly stunned, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes, in this Beijing division, when did not the fast horse enter Beijing? Now that the New Year is approaching, the fast horses entering and leaving Beijing are even more unknown, and there are more than a dozen fast horses entering Beijing, what's so strange?

It's not surprising, but when these words came out of Shousuke's mouth, it had to make people think deeply.

Is something big happening? Did Shousuke get the message? Why didn't they get the message, but Shousuke did?

Zhang Wei and Shen have always been human spirits, even if they don't receive the news, they can guess the truth through some things that happen.

The two of them thought about it for a long time, and Shen Yi was the first to think of something, looked up at Zhao Zhigao and said, "Yuanfu, could it be that something big happened in Linqing?" ”

Hearing Shen Yi say this, a bright light suddenly opened in Zhang Wei's mind, and he suddenly understood something, and said anxiously: "Yuanfu, did the Xungui children send a letter from home?" If it is, then something big must have happened! ”

After the two of them said this, they suddenly stopped talking, because this topic is more taboo than the previous one, they are civil officials, the other party is a noble, the two parties are already very hostile, and you also monitor the correspondence of other people's family letters.

What does this mean? Want to monitor Lao Tzu? What crime did Lao Tzu commit? What didn't you commit a crime? So you monitor Lao Tzu? Come on, let's find a way to make it clear!

This is too taboo, do it like this, the nobles will definitely roll up their sleeves and talk to you about it, that picture is too beautiful to dare to watch!

Zhao Zhigao knew the reason why the two of them kept silent, and he also knew what the two were worried about, these, he Zhao Zhigao put it in the past, and he would not touch this piece, but now it is different, his body is obviously not good, I don't know when he will kick his legs, the opportunity to Zhishi may not be there, and none of his sons are officials in the court, and when he dies, the whole family will go back to his hometown, and when he returns to his hometown, the nobles who are far away in Beijing can't find fault if they want to.

That's what he said, but he couldn't say what he could do at this time, so Zhao Zhigao smiled and said: "That's not the case, but I received a letter from Commander Luo, and some of them were mentioned in the letter!" ”

With this ingenious turn, the nature of the matter changed, and suddenly it changed from a taboo that could not be touched to a topic that could be talked about at will.

Now that they can talk, Zhang Wei and Shen have always put their hearts back in their stomachs.

There was no taboo, his heart was put back, and Shen Yi immediately asked, "Yuanfu, but what is the big thing?" ”

Although Zhang Wei didn't speak, he was also asking with his eyes, Zhao Zhigao did not answer the questions of the two, but stood up and walked out of the inner room and came to the outer room.

When the heads of the six departments outside saw that Shoufu had come out, they hurriedly stood up and bowed their hands and said, "Yuanfu!" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Zhigao nodded and said: "Ministers, if you don't have anything important, go back first, my body is not as good as a day, and in the future, you can ask the second assistant for instructions, and the second assistant will decide!" ”

The faces of the heads of these six departments suddenly became wonderful, the reason why they all came to the cabinet today was not because the nobles were making trouble, nor because Tian Yi, who had no eggs, was beaten to death, and it was not because the half-crazy Marquis Longping froze to death in front of the noon gate.

They came here to wonder, who will be the next Shousuke?

Although the first assistant of the Wanli Dynasty was decided by the Wanli Emperor, before this, there was still a court push, not to mention that the current situation is a bit special.

Special there, special in the first assistant is still in office, but the first assistant is not in good health and can't handle affairs, so during the period when the first assistant is not in charge or kicks his legs, there will be a person who acts as the first assistant to handle cabinet affairs.

If it is the cabinet elder of his own faction who presides over the work, it will create an established fact, if this established fact can be maintained for a year or two years, then when the court pushes, the emperor can also insist on going his own way and ignore this factor.

However, there was originally a provision for this, and the first assistant was not there, and the second assistant was in charge of the affairs of the cabinet.

However, this provision does not have to be implemented, and to implement this regulation, there is a necessary condition, that is, the secondary auxiliary is a very strong secondary auxiliary and can suppress the field.

If the ability of the secondary assistant is not enough to suppress the third or fourth assistant, or the emperor is very, very unkind to see this secondary assistant, then it will be a different matter.

What's the situation today? Today's situation is that because the first assistant is a good man, the second assistant and the third assistant are very strong, and no one is convinced!

What about the emperor? The emperor wants Shen to take over, but he doesn't have much resentment about Zhang Wei, the second assistant, and it is a better situation for Zhang to succeed and Shen to succeed him.

What about the ministers? The ministers are divided into two factions, and the number of people is basically the same! But because of the official positions of the two, there is a very extreme pole among the ministers who support the two, and what is even more strange is that these two extremes will swap identities at certain moments, and even form a situation where they blend with each other.

Zhang Wei is the second assistant, and at the same time he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Heavenly Officials, so the vast majority of people who serve outside the country support Zhang Wei.

Shen has always been the third assistant, and at the same time he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Wealth, so it has led to the support of most of the Beijing officials.

As we said earlier, at a certain time, the identities of the supporters of these two people will be converted to each other, for example, when you want to be promoted, you must be in charge of the ministry, and if you want to start the work with money, you have to be in the household department, so that the supporters of both sides will have an uninteresting situation, that is, I support both sides, and I can support anyone, but this support has a premise, whoever gives me benefits I will support whom, and whoever gives more benefits I will throw myself into the arms of whom.

In this way, the opinion of Shoufu, who is about to retire or kick his legs, has become the top priority, and the good old man Zhao Zhigao has not shown up at home to recuperate, and he has not explained who will preside over the work, so as soon as Zhao Zhigao appeared this time, all the people who cared about this matter were bubbling, thinking that this time Shoufu would come back to work after he was sick, or explain what happened after his death.

Now this first assistant suddenly opened his mouth and said, let the second assistant Zhang preside over the work, can these people's faces not be exciting?

The heads and brains of the six ministries who usually pretend to be like masters, at this moment, the joys and sorrows are all written on their faces, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites are all very happy to support Zhang Wei, and the Ministry of Household and Criminal Affairs have always wilted all of a sudden, and the Ministry of War has no good relationship with the three people in charge of the cabinet because the boss is in Liaodong, and the three people in charge of the Ministry of War have a bad relationship with the cabinet.

Now that you have the answer you want, there is no need to stay here anymore, and the first assistant has opened his mouth to drive people away, so let's hurry up, and everyone has saluted the first assistant with their fists, said some auspicious words and left.

After these people left, Zhao Zhigao returned to the inner room, and the expressions of these two people in the inner room were exactly the same as those outside, Zhang Wei was happy, although Shen had always been calm, but the disappointment, incomprehension and anger on his face could not be hidden.

The expressions of the two, Zhao Zhigao was in full view, judging from the light reflected in his eyes, he was extremely disappointed in the performance of these two people, but disappointment can only be disappointment, there is no good solution, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, I wanted to talk about Linqing, but now that the two of them are like this, how can they talk about it, and after saying a few words casually, Zhao Zhigao got up and said: "The old man is really old, and he is riddled with diseases, sitting here for such a short time, it will not work, the old man will go back first, and the cabinet of Ming Cheng and Ziwei will be handed over to the two of you!" ”

As soon as the two heard this, they hurriedly got up and wanted to say something, but saw Zhao Zhigao wave his hand and leave on their own.

As soon as Zhao Zhigao left, the eyes of the two people in the inner room collided with sparks.

One said with his eyes: "What if you Shen has always been close to Zhao Zhigao, and in the end, the position of Shoufu is not going to fall on Lao Tzu's head?" ”

One said with his eyes: "Don't be complacent, the matter is far from over, who will sit in the seat of the first assistant, the emperor has the final say, let's see!" ”

……

Zhang Wei and Shen Yi were staring at each other, and the emperor and Xu Wenbi were also staring at each other in the warm pavilion in the palace.

It took a long time for Wanli to break the silence between the two and said, "Wenbi, you disappointed me too much this time!" ”

If you put this on someone else, you will be scared into a cold sweat 100%, but on Xu Wenbi, let alone sweat, you can't even make Xu Wenbi nervous.

Xu Wenbi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, what you say, the minister can't understand it!" ”

Wanli snorted, and said with a smile: "Haha, who are you Xu Wenbi?" You won't understand? What did you think of me? ”

Xu Wenbi was not afraid at all, and said with a light smile: "Naturally, Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and Your Majesty will always be the heaven of the minister!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the anger in Wanli's heart decreased a lot, and he snorted softly: "Don't just talk about it, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, what kind of person is the minister, do you still know?"

"That's why I know that!"

"Then Your Majesty can unjustly kill the minister!"

Seeing that Xu Wenbi was going to play a scoundrel, Wanli suddenly felt impatient, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't come with me like this, tell me directly, what are you going to do?" ”

Xu Wenbi hurriedly got up from his seat, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't plan to do anything, the minister just wants Your Majesty to give them the credit that those who died fighting for the country deserve!" ”

Wanli's eyes shrank, and he was puzzled in his heart, these nobles have been making trouble for so long for a long time, just for a deserved?

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Just deserve it?" ”

Xu Wenbi bowed again and saluted: "I just deserve it!" ”

Don't look at what Xu Wenbi said firmly, but Wanli still doesn't believe it in his heart, these people made such a big fuss and beat Tian Yi to death, just for what he deserved? When I'm a fool?

With a slap on the dragon chair, Wanli stood up and pointed at Xu Wenbi and roared: "Xu Wenbi, do you really think I am a fool?" The Xungui of the Manjing Division ran to Fuque outside the noon gate, and beat Tian Yi to death, and finally let Longping Hou run to the outside of the noon gate to freeze to death, just for what he deserved? ”

Xu Wenbi was not frightened by Wanli's roar, stared straight into Wanli's eyes and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers waited until they waited outside the noon gate to Fu Que really just for the ministers deserved, and killed Tian Yi because Tian Yi was greedy for His Majesty's compensity to those who died, and the ministers knew that although the ministers were reasonable, it was not right to kill Tian Yi after all, the ministers were all rough people, but the ministers and other rough people also knew that killing people would pay for their lives, Tian Yi was instigated by the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Longping to kill people, and the Marquis of Longping just used his life to die!" ”

Wanli stopped talking for a while.
