The emperor quickly rejected his resignation. In this way, Xu Ge felt better. But he couldn't go back to work right away. Don't forget that when those officials impeached Gao Gong, there was one of the charges "one yù retention, that is, a comeback to see things", which in the eyes of the world, is a hypocritical manifestation of too much power.

So Xu Jie is still staying at home and has already handed in his second resignation letter. And is writing the third one. Wait for that one to be rejected, and then hand it in. to show that he is not greedy for power, which is also the proper meaning of the question.

And in the palace, Emperor Longqing was overreacted because of the hundred words. And deep anger and fear. This was just a temptation of his own, and he actually provoked the hundred officials in Beijing and the six departments and Jiuqing to go up together, asking to keep Xu Jie, and to say that Zhang Qi was a great evil and a heinous person. It refers to the meaning of Sang scolding Huai, and the emperor can feel it no matter how dull he is.

Although he was forced to transfer Zhang Qi out, "but in Long Qing's heart, he felt more and more that he said that people in the world only know that there is a rank, but they don't know that there is a majesty." That's right. It's just that in the face of the turbulence of the crowd, he almost wanted to boycott the dynasty en masse, especially Yang Bo, who was left to him by the first emperor to protect the country, joined it, so he didn't dare to risk this big disapproval. can only keep Xu Jie against his will, but the emperor is depressed in his heart. is no worse than Xu Jie.

For a while, the wind in the Qianqing Palace was loud, and the palace people all shrank their hearts, and they didn't even dare to speak loudly, lest they would resentful of the emperor and eat a stick for nothing.

At this time, Chen Hong naturally had to stay on the emperor's side. Long Qing retreated left and right, looked at him fixedly, and said, "Could it be that I, the emperor, can't do anything about Xu Jie?" ”

Although Chen Hong is indeed entrusted by others, in his heart, "this emperor who grew up watching from xiǎo is the first." What he did before. It's mostly for Longqing's considerations, "Now is no exception." replied truthfully: "Now it seems that his prestige in the government and the opposition is too high, and if the emperor forcibly removes him, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable." He lowered his voice and said: "The Sixth Branch Corridor has the right to refute, if the edict is rejected. The emperor's face will not look good. Unless ......", the emperor was just about to be disappointed. But when he heard Chen Hong's words, he changed his mind and said, "If he wants to leave by himself." Naturally, the ministers had nothing to say. ”

"Can he go on his own?" The emperor pointed to Xu Jie's self-defense and said: "You have also read this, and the whole article is calling for hitting the sky" There is no more fake resignation than this. ”

"Yes......", Chen Hong nodded and said in a low voice: "The old slave has a way, maybe it can be done." ”

"Speak."

"You can ask Master Zhang to ask" What is Elder Xu Ge's thoughts. Chen Hong said in a low voice. is worthy of being an old eunuch who has practiced the Aoi Huā Treasure Book. The move is yīn and poisonous.

"Let Master Zhang ask?" The emperor was stunned for a moment, and pondered for a while. I couldn't help but shake my head and said, "This is too inappropriate, right?" Actually, I should say, "That's shameless."

After someone resigned, you sent someone to ask. Do you really want to go, or do you want to go? How do you say that people still answer? Isn't it, I'm teasing you?

Elder Xu Ge could only say, "I really want to leave." But that's secondary. The key is to let Xu Jie thoroughly understand the emperor's attitude, but to see if he will pretend to be stupid and stunned, and lose his face. The stinky and high point of the doctor is so-called, the soldier can be killed, not humiliated. How can Xu Jie still have the face to stay any longer?

There are only two words to describe this method, and that is "scoundrel". It is worthy of the eunuch who came up with it.

However, the emperor himself is the number one scoundrel in the world. So Longqing is right on this method. There is no sense of resistance. The only thing that feels wrong is his, Master Zhang." If you treat the teacher like this, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.

"Your Majesty, the old slave knows that you love Master Zhang" Chen Hong knew Longqing's thoughts, so he said in a deep voice: "But the old slave thinks that if you really love him, you should let him go this way." ”

"Why?" Long Qing asked with a frown.

"One comes. Take a look at it. Whether his heart is going to the emperor or not. Chen Hong said: "Second, after Hu Zongxian's case" Although Master Zhang was not implicated, there was always some gossip, and you gave him trust at this time. Let him accomplish this mission. No one dares to make irresponsible remarks anymore. ”

"Well, there's some truth." Long Qing couldn't help but lead the way.

一凵一"一"一"

Just when Long Qing and his henchmen and eunuchs were secretly discussing the steps, an uninvited guest from Xu Jie's mansion, Wang Xiang Wang Dongya.

Hearing that Wang Xiang had arrived, Xu Jie actually greeted him in person and took him to the main hall to serve tea. With Xu Ge's current identity, unless the emperor comes. Otherwise, the DPRK and China have not yet, and they need him to receive them so ceremoniously. But not in the DPRK. It doesn't mean that there are no people in the opposition, although this old Mr. Wang is cloth, but Xu Jie doesn't dare to slack off a little, because he is the head of the Taizhou School, and he is also the one who unified Wang Xue back then. Fully support the people of Xu Jie's upper position.

It stands to reason that Xu Jie still has to call him uncle, but his status is now valuable. So the two are commensurate with each other.

"I didn't expect to say goodbye to Lingji Palace, and I saw Mr. Dongya again today." At this year's lecture at Lingji Palace, Wang Xiang was also invited to participate. He and Xu Jie have met a few times. Originally, Wang Xiang said that he would leave on the fifteenth, but Xu Jie had already practiced it for him in advance, and now he was the eighteenth son of the first month, so he said this.

"It was meant to go." Although he is ten years younger than Xu Jie. But because of the long-term running to lecture, Wang Xiang, who seemed to be the same age as him, said: "But I heard that Cunzhai Gong was in some trouble, so I stayed for a few more days." ”

"It made Dongya cào's heart." Xu Jie said casually. But he muttered secretly in his heart. The Taizhou School has never interfered in his political affairs, but only asked him to contribute to the development of psychology. So the relationship between the two sides has always been harmonious, and Xu Jie didn't feel that there was an emperor above his head.

But now, it's clear that the other side isn't just coming from a string.

Sure enough, I heard Wang Xiang say: "Cào doesn't care, but he is a little worried." ”

Xu Jie knew that Wang Xiang was straightforward, and he had always said something. So I didn't go around in circles with him and said, "I don't know what Dongya has to say?" ”

"Originally, there were some things that we savages should not say." Wang Xiang said: "But the servant has been with Cunzhai for twenty years, and I can't watch you take this wrong step." It's out of control. ”

"You and I are not rebellious, there are no outsiders here", Xu Jie stroked his beard and said quietly: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

"On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I saw a copy of the impeachment issued by the General Administration Department at a disciple's place, which impeached Cunzhai Gong." Wang Xiang said softly.

"Yes" is the thing. Xu Jie nodded.

"I also heard that the first time Cunzhai Gong resigned, it was rejected by the emperor, and you went to the second time, Wang Xiang asked.

"Yes." Xu Jie still nodded and said, "The old man's self-defense, I don't know if Dongya has seen it?" ”

"That's what happened."

"How?" Xu Jie asked.

"IMHO. Big inappropriate. Wang Xiang said in a deep voice.

"I want to hear about it." Xu Jie said silently. But my heart is quite unhappy.

"Cunzhai is benevolent and righteous, and has given great virtue to the world, and all the people in the world are also grateful to Dade, and they all hope that you can always be illustrious and glorious, govern everything well, and enjoy the best of your life." Wang Xiang came up and patted the ass first, and then changed the conversation and said: "However, the ancients are cloudy, the middle of the day is moving, and the moon is lacking" Now you are a very popular minister, and your power even exceeds that of Yan Song at the beginning, and according to the legend of the government and the opposition, your wealth in your hometown. also surpassed Yan Song, saying that you are in the middle of the day. It is not an exaggeration at all, so at this time, Cunzhai Gong should learn the lesson of Yan Ge Lao. Avoid the tragedy of the lack of the sun and the moon. ”

"You're saying that my self-defense will lead to disaster?" Xu Jie said slowly: "The old man can go to the emperor to ask for his resignation." ”

"If you really want to resign, then you should be honest about your mistakes in the resignation letter, and really give your fate to the emperor." Wang Xiang hit the nail on the head and said: "You are trying your best to defend yourself in the performance. Since I think I'm not wrong. And why resign? If the emperor agrees to your resignation, won't he become a faint king? I said that the big mistake is here, the smell of coercion is too strong. ”

"The old man is indeed a little inappropriate." Xu Jiemian changed slightly: "But Dongya doesn't have to worry too much, being impeached and resigned" is the proper meaning of the question, and it is harmless. ”

"If Cunzhai Gong thinks like this, I'm afraid it's dangerous." Wang Xiangzheng said: "You have been in the court for decades, and how many times have you seen the impeachment of the first assistant of the court? ”

"Not much ......", Xu Jie's expression was solemn now.

"Not much. It's very little. Wang Xiang said: "Because the first assistant is the teacher of a hundred officials." He also holds state affairs for the emperor, and the emperor should love it. For unfounded impeachment, "most of them are left unresolved...... on this. Surely you know better than I am. ”

Xu Jie nodded slowly and said, "Not bad." ”

"Nowadays, he is a rare gentle lord", Wang Xiang said: "He is now openly issuing this bullet stamp, what is its meaning, I believe that Cunzhai Gong will not not understand." ”

Xu Jie nodded lightly and said, "This is a manifestation of dissatisfaction with me." ”

However, the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government openly went to the capital. asked the emperor to retain the Duke of Zhai and severely punish the official Zhang Qi, I heard that within one day. More than 200 copies were handed over. Wang Xiang said: "Of course, this reflects your prestige, but I see that the ministers of the court and the central government are down." Rising up to support Cunzhai Gong, how will Emperor Yu feel? This does not confirm Zhang Qi's sentence, people in the world only know that there is a first assistant. I don't know if Your Majesty has been around for a long time? ”

"It's the old man's, it's not ......," Xu Jie's face began to turn white and said, "You shouldn't let hundreds of officials go to the book." He was angry for a while, and he also had the heart to be angry with the emperor. Well, I want Longqing to see the people's hearts, so I heard that hundreds of officials are in the book. It was not stopped.

, Since last year, the old man has been arrogant, slow to react, and has frequent faint moves" Xu Jie couldn't help but secretly hurt himself: , It seems that he is really ......old, one "one" one, one "one "one" one, one "one" one, one "one", one "one"

"Then, how should the old man deal with it?" Xu Jie asked with a heavy heart.

"Since ancient times. And the monarch jiāo evil minister, the power of the power of the stack, even if he himself is spared. It will also bring disaster to future generations. Wang Xiang said: "Yang Xindu, Xia Guixi, and Yan Fenyi, these three have all served as your prime ministers, and the first two and the monarch Jiāo are evil and do not know it." The latter was the old tyrant and refused to go", and as a result, he annoyed the monarch. Different means to the same end. As a result, his reputation will be ruined, and his descendants will be brought to life. To this day, it has not been rehabilitated. ”

This is the so-called person who can stretch but cannot bend, and can go further and cannot retreat. Even if such a person is not evil with the emperor, there is no one who is soft and charming in the world. But woe will also befall you? Wang Xiang continued: "Even if you have never seen gambling, you should have heard of it. People who gamble "want to bet big in order to win outright, and some want to get a share of the win." Now that you are the first assistant of two generations and the elder of the country, because the "Edict" has won the hearts of the people all over the world, and the cabinet is full of your students, your prestige has reached the extreme, and your merits have also reached the peak. ”

"When the moon is full, it is lacking, and when the water is full, it overflows. It's time for someone else to take your advantage! If you don't retreat bravely at this time. It is inevitable that we will follow in the footsteps. Why not retreat from the rapids. At this time, Jiāo came out of the seal of the Prime Minister's country. What about giving up the phase to the meritocracy? There is a way to "take a step back and open the sky", the situation you are facing will be very different, and the people of the world will be deeply moved by your lack of credit and love. You will be praised for being as incorruptible as Boyi, and your children and grandchildren will prosper and prosper for generations to come. If we compare these with the final tragedy, which one does Cunzhai think is better? ”

Xu Jie silently listened to Wang Leng's tirade, nodded slowly, and said, "What you said is very reasonable, can I ask a question?" ”

"Please." Wang Xiang took a sip of tea.

"It's your personal opinion." Xu Jie's eyebrows lowered and said, "It's still a request made on behalf of Wang Mén." ”

"This ......" Wang Leng was a little embarrassed to be exposed. The rhetoric prepared by Jīng, in front of an old bureaucrat like Xu Jie, who has seen through the world, "is still easily seen through the essence." But think about it. How can a generation of heroes be fooled by their own country wildman? So he raised his head and said calmly: "This is the consensus reached by several schools of thought after discussion. Think you're holding on, and you're going to be a mén. None of them are good. Saying that, he took a deep breath and said: "Cun Zhai Gong, the Yangtze River is behind the Yangtze River and pushed the front làng." A new generation of people changes the old look. It's time for the jiāo class. ”

"The old man has already said it." Xu Jie said slowly: "Give up the position of leader of Wang Xue." ”

"We believe that the integration of politics and science," Wang replied, "is more in line with the long-term development of my studies." ”

"Understood......" ......" Xu Jie slowly closed his eyes.
