As soon as Emperor Longqing ascended to the pole, he rewarded the old ministers of the former dynasty as usual, "Xu Jie and Yang Bo were promoted to the young master and the prince and the prince, and the other was promoted to the young master and the prince and the prince, and they were the top two among the hundred officials." The second is that Gao Gongjin is the prince and the prince, and he is half a level lower than them.

As for Zhang Juzheng, after the New Year, he was promoted to the head of the household, but he was only a second-class person, and his status in the rivers and lakes could not be compared with Yang Bo. is such a small role who relies on the teacher to be promoted several levels in a row, and his housekeeper dares to shout and give way when he knows that he is facing a Tianguan sedan chair!

, but a cabinet minister at the end, he is so rude, and he really thinks of himself as the prime minister? Yang Bo was stunned and repeated this sentence. The heart said that it is indeed necessary to restore the authority of the heavenly officials, "the head of the six ministries who used to fight against the cabinet has been languishing all these years" was thought to be a subordinate of the cabinet by a young man like Zhang Taiyue!

, the tiger is not threatening, thinking it is a sick cat" Yang Bo punched the sedan board, the sedan chair immediately stopped, and the outsider asked; "What do you command?" "Don't be abrasive, go to the cabinet." Yang Bo snorted, and the outsiders knew that the old man was angry, so they hurriedly lowered their heads and hurried away.

Originally, Yang Bo also regretted that because of Lu Guangzu's words, he had some regrets about sending down so many officials at one time, but now he no longer hesitates, "***, don't think that others don't know if you hide deeply, those mad dogs in the Six Science Corridors" all let Zhang Juzheng and the fox fake tiger power pull him over, "He let him bite whoever he wants!" This time, I have to beat a few hard, but I want to see what he can do!

To say that Zhang Juzheng is also unlucky enough, today his housekeeper You Qi did not come for some reason, and changed to the head of another steward to lead the way, and the steward knew that the master liked pomp and circumstance, and paid attention to prestige, so he shouted hard and drank six. It's just that he was blind and didn't recognize that it was Yang Bo's sedan chair, and as a result, he caused a disaster to his master.

But it can't all be said to be an accident, like Shen Mo has already instructed the sedan chair driver, and when he meets Jiuqing's official sedan chair head-on on the road, he must be avoided first, because it is all old-timers, and his upstart suddenly rises, and people are already uncomfortable.

If Zhang Juzheng had been silent and half-low-key self-denial, he would not have offended others today and would still be at a loss.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

Hearing that Yang Bo was coming, Xu Jie hurriedly ordered Li Chunfang and Guo Pu to put down what they were doing and greet them at the door of the cabinet.

"The cabinet must show respect to this venerable celestial official, so as not to provoke criticism."

Seeing the two cabinet members come out to greet him, the depression in Yang Bo's heart decreased slightly, "followed them into the main hall of the cabinet." As soon as they entered, the ministers also got up to greet each other," Yang Bo let go of Fang Cai's unhappiness and greeted them politely.

"Brother Yu Po, please have tea in the living room." , Xu Jie invited Yang Bo to go to the side hall and looked at the cabinet members and said: "You continue to work" paused, only to see Gao Gong staring at himself with big eyes, so as not to make him mad on the spot, he had to sigh secretly and said: "Su Qing" You can come too. Of course, Gao Gong nodded and came up.

The three of them entered the living room, Xu Jie, of course, sat in the main seat, Gao Gong gave up the left head to Yang Bo, and sat on his right head. After taking a few sips of tea, Yang Bo didn't go around the bend and said, "Today is the day of the Jingcha Xunbao, let's bother the two elders." ”

"Where is the ......," Xu Jie said: "With Brother Yupo in charge, we can rest assured." Having said that, he took the newspaper and read it carefully.

While Xu Jie was concentrating on the inspection, Gao Gong looked at Yang Bo for inquiry, and saw him nodding slightly, his head, and then he put his mind at ease, "Look at the nose and the nose, and wait for Lao Xu to finish reading."

&nbā mirror, handed the Xun Bao to Gao Gong, rubbed the dry corners of his eyes, and didn't say anything right away, but it didn't mean that Xu Ge Lao had no opinions, although the people he wanted to protect were basically not on the Xun Bao, but Gao Gong and the silent people were basically not on it, and the only ones who suffered were those who had no sect and no faction, as well as some notorious.

This greatly exceeded Xu Jie's expectations. According to Xu Gelao's wishful thinking, "the Shen Party should suffer heavy losses in this Jingchazhong, so that this disobedient student can learn a lesson and weaken his growing strength." But Xu Jie never made it clear to Yang Bo that "because being a teacher calculates students" will make the world look down on people, so Lao Xu can't say this.

However, he felt that it was no different whether he said it or not, "Because of the silence three times and two times with the Jin Party and Yang Bo, he also lost Yang Bo's face." Among them, in fact, there are also factors that Xu Jie deliberately connived at and guided, "I just want to see the two sides become incompatible...... in fact, so Xu Jie thinks that there is no need to say more, and Lao Yang Bo will not let go of this opportunity to be silent in the name of righteousness.

As for the person who sent the high arch, Xu Jie didn't think about it, because although he married his daughter to Zhang Siwei, "but the daughter of the high arch married Wang Chonggu's son earlier." In addition to the son is in-law, Gao and Wang are still friends in the same year, and Wang is Yang Bo's hardcore.

What's more, even if there is no such relationship, "Yang Bo will definitely help Gao Gong, because he is now the strongest in the court, followed by Yang and Gao, "Just as the Three Kingdoms are established, Lian Liu Kangcao is the only choice of Wu State" Yang Bo and Gao Gong have no other choice.

one, one, r, one

, even if you and Gao Gong wear the same pants, why are you merciful to Shen Mo's subordinates? , Xu Jie is like eating a fly, there is a feeling that he fed his daughter to a wolf for nothing, but he won't show it, because the people who can sit here are all determined and calculating, and it is useless to say that those who don't have it, not to mention that this is not said at all......

"What do Yuan Weng and Ge Lao think?" Seeing that Gao Gong had also finished reading, Yang Bo asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe" Xu Jie's smile was a little stiff and said, "What do you think of Su Qing?" "Well, that's good. Gao Gong nodded and said: "It's very fair, especially those who are officials, with a mirror hanging on the back of their heads, only looking at others and not themselves, now check it" There are really a lot of problems. Seeing the names of several enemies on the list, he couldn't tell the joy in his heart.

"The officials are generally very good." Yang Bodao: "It's just that some people who have "bad deeds" don't know how to get into the Six Departments Corridor...... This is also for the sake of purity. ”

"Hmm...... Since you all see it that way. Xu Jie's face barely smiled, and said, "Then that's it, Su Qing, I bother you to send it to the emperor." Yang Bo felt Xu Jie's dissatisfaction, but the two promises of silence are being fulfilled, a large amount of funds of Huilian are being injected into Riyilong in the form of loans, and more importantly, the news of Huilian's full support "has greatly alleviated the concerns about the bankruptcy of Riyilong, so it will not be long before the situation can be stabilized" to end this protracted bankruptcy crisis: and on the side of the Southeast Water Division, Xu Hai and others have also begun to launch "There are a large number of vacancies waiting to be filled by themselves, as long as they can control this water division, Then Jin Shang will be able to straighten his waist and "get a share that is in line with his own status."

Silence can really fulfill his promises, which makes Yang Bo very relieved. At this juncture, not to mention that Xu Jie's daughter is married to Zhang Siwei, even if she marries herself, it will not affect his cooperation with Shen Mo.

Seeing that Yang Bo gritted his teeth and said nothing, Xu Jie became more and more unhappy, "After sitting for a while, he served tea and sent it off" was in stark contrast to Yang Bo's enthusiasm when he came.

Gao Gong hurriedly rescued Yang Bo and said, "I will send Brother Yu Po on behalf of Yuan Weng." "That's very good...... Xu Zhen nodded, and scolded in his heart, "You have to represent me again!"

The two walked out of the cabinet" Yang Bo smiled bitterly and whispered: "Choke Xu Ge enough." ”

"We were surprised, too." , Gao Gong said hesitantly: "But it's really good, I just want to see him sulking." As he spoke, he snorted: "Thinking about calculating his students all day long, how can there be such a teacher in the world?" ”

"Hehe," Yang Bo said in a low voice, "Isn't it also for another student." ”

"That can't go mad!" Gao Gong snorted and said: "I have found out, after being in that seat for a long time, I feel that everyone has to listen to his arrangement, and I really think that I am the only one in heaven and earth!" Yang Bo sighed lightly, "Isn't that what happened?" He personally experienced Yang Ting and the subsequent first assistants "from Zhang Xuan to Xia Yan to Xu Jie", all of them were like this, and they were "cautious" and kind to others before they ascended the phase, but once they sat firmly in their seats, they gradually became dominant. Although Xu Ge Lao is not as obvious as the first two, looking at his suppression of his students, it is enough to see that there is no difference.

Xu Jie's suppression of silence, if many people couldn't see it last year, this year is obvious to all. As soon as he came back after the New Year, he asked Zhao Zhenji to be reinstated. Emperor Longqing was unwilling, saying that the household department and the military department were empty, so why did he have to go to the Ministry of Rites? Xu Jie said that because the errand of the Ministry of Rites this year is too heavy, it is necessary to not only manage the country's talent ceremony, but also to prepare for the crown prince's canonization ceremony, and also to prepare for the feast. And Zhao Zhenji was originally the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so that he could specifically arrest the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and he could also reduce the burden on Shen Mo, so that he did not have to run at both ends and could concentrate on cabinet affairs.

In front of these old foxes, Emperor Longqing was as coaxing as a little white rabbit, so he believed it and asked people to ask if it was okay to be silent.

Can silence say no? Isn't that equivalent to a slap in the face? I had to take the initiative to ask for a resignation from the Ministry of Rites, saying that I couldn't do it......

Shen Mo always thought that there were teachers and students there, and although Xu Jie was biased towards Zhang Juzheng, he would not be too ruthless. After all, although he also calculated Xu Jie, it was just to defend what he deserved, and he never calculated anything that was not divided, let alone directly calculated Xu Jie. He once naively thought that as long as he entered the cabinet before Zhang Juzheng and the seats were set in a row, Xu Jie would no longer think about letting Zhang Juzheng surpass him, and at least a bowl of water would be flat in the future.

Facts have proved that he underestimated Xu Jie's persistence, a veteran politician who can persist for twenty years and finally kill Yan Song will not easily change his original intention In fact, Xu Jie did not think about changing people, but his choice of successor was more than ten years ago. Over the years, "his planning and arrangement in personnel have basically revolved around Zhang Juzheng" The huge size of the cloth eyebrows and the long time it took made the old man have no courage to tear it down and start over.

But because Zhang Juzheng was born at the wrong time, Xu Ge was under the suppression of the strict party, in order to protect this, the world's genius", in the process of falling strict, Xu Jie's task was to save himself. But he didn't expect that the strict party's hundred-legged insect would not be broken, "the two sides fought repeatedly and protracted, far beyond Xu Jie's expectations", as a result, Xiao Zhang's classmates had a dozen soy sauces for more than ten years, which seriously delayed progress.

When Yan Dang was finally brought down and finally sat down in his seat, Xu Jie suddenly found that another of his not very obedient students had "advanced by leaps and bounds", leaving Zhang Juzheng far behind. What's worse is that "I haven't had time yet, and I have invested enough emotionally in Shen Mo, so that teachers and students are always separated from each other, which is also no way, when the first emperor was there, he deliberately let Shen Mo be a lonely tool, and he couldn't PS too close to him." By the time the first emperor went, Shen Mo had already grown up, and he had a good opportunity to ask for the city's favor.

This further strengthened Xu Jie's implementation of the original plan to let Zhang Juzheng take the position. For those who can threaten Zhang Juzheng, "he is not worried about others, only silent, if he does not take advantage of his presence on the stage to complete the exchange of strength and weakness between the two, then Zhang Juzheng will never come out." Therefore, Xu Jie thinks that he must seize the time to take a two-pronged approach to "increase Zhang Juzheng's chips on the one hand, so as soon as the New Year passes", he will correct him in the household department; While suppressing the silence as much as possible, he made it stop and wait for Zhang Juzheng.

This hand is a great game. As long as Xu Jie doesn't give him a chance, then he will no longer have the affairs he is responsible for, and he can only do some auxiliary work.

If you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, I'm afraid that after this Jingcha, "the gap between the two is not so big...... Xu Jie thought so.

Maybe he couldn't even get used to it, and he felt that all the good things couldn't be taken over by Zhang Juzheng, so he let him collide with Yang Bo outside.

....... "......" ...... "...... "......, one"...... One, one"...... 1. "......" ...... "......"...... 1. "......", ......", "............, and "............ I. I. "...... One...... 凵一、

Xu Jie thinks that he has the fetters of the status of teacher and student, even if he has done a little "silence, he can only be angry in his heart, it's not a big deal." But just like Gao Gong said, "He has been sitting on the first assistant seat for a long time", thinking that the world revolves around him. As everyone knows, he has been silently enduring him for a long time, "and enduring it in the end is ...... There is no need to endure it.

And his suppression of silence "has affected our own image." Like Yang Bo, many officials think that he is now rigid and domineering, and he is no longer the old Xu Ge who humbly said that he wanted to return this and that when he first came to power. Of course, on the cusp of Jingcha, "except for a big bull like Gao Gong Yang Bo, no one dares to talk about Shoufu's dominance." The result affected Xu Jie's judgment, "I thought" that everyone didn't react. But in his seat "it is impossible to hear any real voices...... If the people on the side don't want him to hear.

In fact, he forgot that Shen Mo was the only one in this batch of court pushes into the cabinet, that is, among the three new cabinet ministers, he is the only one who has been recognized by high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, and Zhang Juzheng is in everyone's hearts, which is obviously not enough to scale. The same is true among the hundred officials. Now Xu Ge Lao is openly suppressing the candidates recognized by everyone and promoting the candidates he has chosen, although he said that the following 10,000 sentences are not as good as the leader's sentence "But the leader can't control the hearts of the people, the more he is like this, the more everyone is disgusted with Zhang Juzheng" The more sympathetic and silent......

For example, Zhu Heng, the imperial history of the left capital, if he insisted on sending Shen Mo's same year and protégé, Shen Mo would suffer heavy losses. But he felt that Xu Ge had gone too far, and he was unwilling to add salt to Shen Mo's wounds. Seeing the attitude of Lord Zongxian, the two deputy constitutions, Lin Runhe and Bu Yinglong, were naturally happy...... Bu Yinglong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was silent in the same year, and he was good friends with Zhang Juzheng, in fact, he was biased towards the Xu Party, and now there is Lao Zhu of the pure Xu Party, and he doesn't have to be a person inside and out.

Saion lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing or not, and Shen Mo exchanged his bad luck for the unlucky members of the Shen Party, and it can be regarded as not being miserable.

Gao Gong and Yang Bo sighed for a while, and the latter sighed and said: "Don't just worry about others, this time I will depose a few of them" They don't dare to do anything to me, and eighty percent will retaliate against you. ”

"Hehe" Gao Gong stroked his beard disapprerovantly and said: "What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it!" Are you still afraid of a few jumping clowns? Seeing that he was full of confidence, Yang Boxin said that it was also, with the relationship between him and the emperor like father and son, who could move him? But he still kindly reminded: "You also have to restrain your temperament, I don't think you can fight Xu Jie." ”

"I know, I know......" Gao Gong felt the bitterness in his throat and said: "No one can move him now, he is like Yan Song back then, but I don't have the perseverance he had back then,"

"Speaking of perseverance, you have to learn from Shen Mo", Yang Bo shouldn't have said so much to him, but he was really worried that Gao Gong would be bombarded home by Xu Jie, so he could only say a few words against his temperament: "I saw him today, he was wronged so much, he should laugh and laugh, he should do it, I think he has more respect for Xu Ge Lao than before." ”

"I can't learn it if I suffocate it, we just have this straight temper." Gao Gong shook his head and suddenly sneered: "Xu Jie is really blind" I didn't know that this student was carved out of the same mold as him, I think Xu Jie will have to be planted in his hands in the future. ”

"Hmm." Yang Bo also agreed: "Silence is so scheming and calculating" is something I have only seen in my life, and I am so young...... Have you ever seen "a thirty-year-old pavilion elder?" That's why I put up with him again and again, but it's a pity that Xu Jie's eyes can't see Mount Tai, and he always feels that he can suppress him for a lifetime. ”

"We'll see." Gao Gong laughed.
