The ministers heard that Zhang Juzheng and Qin Lin had answered correctly, and the military ministers who lacked ink in their stomachs naturally didn't understand, and the Wenchens from the two lists were secretly frightened, and the ministers such as Yan Qing and Chen Wei were even more shocked.

What Taishi Zhang just said, from "Mencius. Teng Wen Gongxia" is a record of Confucius's original words, and when it comes out of Zhang Juzheng's mouth, it is implicitly compared to a saint:

Assisting the Son of Heaven, determined to reform, and vigorously promoting the New Deal, who in the world can compare with me, and who can reach the realm of knowing me?

Alone in charge of the dynasty, both inside and outside, densely packed with party henchmen, [***] invincible within the country, who has the confidence to slander me?

Only the history of the Spring and Autumn Period can evaluate my merits and crimes!

Zhang Juzheng said slowly, retracted his gaze looking up at the smoke and clouds of Jinghua, raised his eyebrows slightly, and Danfeng's eyes were bright, and he swept over the faces of Yan Qing and other officials as if nothing had happened.

At a glance of understatement, it seemed to have the power of thunder, even Yan Qing, the secretary of the second-grade criminal department, suddenly felt frightened, and involuntarily lowered his eyelids, not daring to look at Zhang Juzheng.

All the old-fashioned officials who were in the Imperial Palace just now, who did not seconded the Jiangling Party's refusal to allow Zhang Juzheng to serve as the Grand Master, all became frost-beaten eggplants, or dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, or looked lonely, or secretly regretted it.

Wang Guoguang, Zhang Xueyan, Zeng Xingwu, and Pan Jitao, the members of the Jiangling Party who helped the New Deal, had very different expressions, and they were all smiling and laughing.

The courtiers who hesitated for a moment just now and finally stood up to second, the more glad they had made a wise choice.

Zhang Juzheng clearly took advantage of the Jin Dynasty to show the whole world his strong control over the court situation, forced the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to take a clear side, and dealt a heavy blow to the opposition in order to further implement the new policy!

This moment really came very strongly, and the opposition was suddenly silenced, and His Majesty the Emperor was silent.

Qin Lin, who probably knew what was going on after Zhang Juzheng's death, sighed in his heart, but he didn't want his father-in-law to repeat the mistakes of the past in the future, so he ignored the possible risks and resolutely persuaded him: "What Taishi Zhang did, of course, was to forge ahead, but in the eyes of the lower officials, he felt that he was too strong and domineering. ”

What the? The civil and military officials all looked at each other, the Taishi Zhang Xiangye was in charge of the court alone, and he was a very popular minister, Qin Lin actually dared to accuse him of being domineering and domineering in person, this courage was so big that the people next to him were shocked when they heard it!

Yan Qing and Liu Shou were a few but they were overjoyed, and they said that the surname Qin didn't collude with Zhang Juzheng and repeatedly suppressed us, this time he talked nonsense in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and he was sure to offend Zhang Lao'er ruthlessly.

Isn't Qin Lin stubborn? As soon as he finished speaking, he lamented in his heart, feeling that he must be scolded by Zhang Juzheng, this old gentleman has a big temper.

Jin Yingji was mixed with joy, and quietly thought: "Why is the little enemy here? Hehe, it made Zhang Lao'er angry, and as soon as the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed, he was told that he would never see the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and see if he regretted it? ”

I never dreamed that Zhang Juzheng was not angry, but his old face was slightly red, and after being stunned, he waved the sleeves of his robe and said with a smile: "The kid is formless!" The old man has his own opinions, haha, do you want to talk more? ”

Hey, why isn't Zhang Juzheng angry? Not only Liu Shouyou and Yan Qing, but also Zeng Xingwu and Chen Wei, who secretly pinched the sweat for Qin Lin, also felt incredible, and never dreamed that Zhang Xiangye, who had always been tyrannical, could still smile after being accused by Qin Lin in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and even the scolding seemed to be understated and painless.

Zhang Juzheng sneered and blew his beard: Hmph, Qin kid thinks that the old man agrees to entitle the Xu family, just to set a precedent for Zixuan, and to give in to you, kid? Get carried away, the old man doesn't let Zixuan get married, it's "domineering", and I want you to persuade the old man to "turn around", it's really, really arrogant! The old man doesn't want you to be proud!

Don't blame Taishi Zhang for being completely wrong, who told Qin Lin to always joke with this extremely talented first assistant emperor with a hippie smile? In addition, Zhang Juzheng did have a little selfishness in front of Xu Xinyi, which is good, but by mistake, Qin Lin's rare words were completely crooked by him.

Wang Guoguang, Zhang Xueyan and other Jiangling Party generals, the stars hugged Zhang Taishi like the moon and walked down the Dan Majesty, everyone looked at Qin Lin a few more times, and unabashedly expressed goodwill: In the past ten years, the people who dare to blame the first auxiliary emperor have either been degraded or exiled and confiscated into the army, Xiang Ye once said, "Anyone who obstructs the new policy and slanders the true appearance, even if the virtue is like Zhilan, I will also get rid of it", but when it comes to Qin Lin, it is completely the opposite, it can be seen that the old gentleman really looks at him differently.

In fact, like all the courtiers, Qin Lin himself was confused, and said in his heart that the future old man is not so easy to talk to, when did he become so amiable? After thinking about it, he slowed down his tone again: "The lower official is offensive, and the Taishi forgives the sin, but it is really out of sincerity, and I hope that the Taishi will think about it carefully after returning home." ”

Now you know what to ask me? Thinking about the well-behaved and smart only daughter, Taishi Zhang softened his heart again: Come on, the old man will spare you kid...... Speaking of such a thing as a marriage proposal, why should you come and ask me, right? The old man didn't refuse three or five times and then agreed, where would he put his face when the court master? Since you say sincerity, you have to take action, the kid is talking nonsense, and he wants to ask the old man to open his mouth to marry Zixuan and let Zixuan marry, is it so easy? Dream!

Thinking about it, Zhang Juzheng walked far, imagining that Qin Lin had come to the mansion again and again to ask to marry Zixuan, and he would have to refuse him a few times when the time came, and put the old Taishan's shelf to a full end, and the master couldn't help but smile.

The scene of His Majesty Dan soon reached Wanli's ears, and the young emperor almost burst into tears: Loyal ministers, loyal ministers, Qin Aiqing is brave and loyal, regardless of personal gains and losses, he accuses Mr. Zhang, who is arbitrary and arbitrary, and controls the government, is really my minister!

That night, in the Shamao Hutong outside the entrance of the lamp market, the golden plaque of the Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion has been changed from the Taifu Mansion to the Taishi Mansion.

Taishi Taifu Taibao is called the Three Princes, in ancient times, the Son of Heaven saw the Three Princes to stand up and salute, the Taishi is the head of the Three Princes, "Taishi, the Son of Heaven is also the teacher", King Wu of Zhou has Jiang Ziya called Shang's father, Zhou Chengwang is Zhou Gongdan, Dong Zhuo when Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Li Shanchang, the prime minister at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, has been awarded this official, all of them are extremely ministers.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not have a prime minister, but the authority of the cabinet was increased, to the extremely clever Zhang Juzheng, who was a regent, and now he was crowned the Taishi, and finally reached the peak of the power leaning towards the government and the opposition.

The three brothers, Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Sixiu, and Zhang Maoxiu, all wore official uniforms and stood at the door to greet the guests, inheriting their father's appearance.

The superintendent Yu Shi Qiu Hu carried two pieces of gold lacquer couplets to give gifts, because the last gift was very popular with Mr. Zhang, and this time the porter made an exception and did not ask him for a door bag.

The main hall was full of friends, the first and second grades of the big people gathered together, and there were many vassal tribute envoys who came to Beijing.

Qiu Huan unveiled the red silk covering the gift, and read aloud: "The moon is bright, and all nations worship the Son of Tomorrow; The hills and mountains are the mountains, and the Quartet is a prince of Taiyue! ”

This couplet is well done, not only to write the weather of all countries to come to the dynasty and the four Yi to give up, which can be said to be in time for the occasion, and the left and right moon are spelled together is a bright word, and the upper hill and the lower mountain are a Yue word, just right.

"Good, good," Zhang Juzheng stroked his palm and smiled, and ordered the couplet to be hung up left and right.

Qiu Ju smiled very happily, he also embedded his surname at the beginning of the next couplet, and Zhang Juzheng will remember when he looks at it in the future, oh, this couplet was given by someone Qiu.

Someone with a heart looked around and noticed that Qin Lin did not appear among the guests of Daohe, hey, it turns out that Qin still annoyed Taishi Zhang, most of them were turned away, he suffered by himself, why bother?

For example, Liu Shouyou, he was one of the first guests to notice that Qin Lin was not there, and immediately talked and laughed, and even asked the third son of the Zhang family who had a good relationship in private: "Brother Shi, didn't someone Qin come today?" ”

"No, I won't see him tonight," Zhang Maoxiu replied with great certainty.

Liu Shou's heart is full of joy, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are much more vivid.

Zhang Maoxiu walked away, and said secretly in his heart: Cut, will I tell you that Qin Lin's house had already turned into the mansion through the back door and was staying with my sister?

Zhang Sangongzi was not worried that Qin Lin and his sister would do something, so he became the eldest brother in advance, because in addition to Qin Lin, there was also a big light bulb to accompany Yingzhou to comfort General Jin Yingji Jin.

In the garden, a new agreement has been reached between the two beauties on the face of hundreds of thousands of commercial taxes every year, the livelihood of many people along the coast, and the maritime trade circles of the Ming Dynasty and the South China Sea vassals.

The connection with Wufeng Maritime Merchants has always been made by Zhang Zixuan on behalf of Zhang Juzheng, after all, Jin Yingji is a woman, Zhang Juzheng is reluctant to talk to her directly because of his identity, Zhang Zixuan is different, you come and go and kill the world, and the smell of gunpowder is stronger than ever - the reason, the three people here know it.

Chief Qin Linqin, who is usually smooth-tongued, is more honest than anyone else at this time, sitting next to him like a good baby, and keeps stuffing cloud cake and melon seeds into his mouth.

Play stupid when you should be stupid, don't plug your mouth, and if something leaks, then woo hoo and mourn!

Finally, the negotiation full of gunpowder was over, and Qin Lin let out a long breath: "Two, two young ladies, tonight the bright moon and clear breeze, let's talk about the wind and snow, okay?" ”

"Okay, little sister will stroke the qin and wash Brother Qin's ears", Zhang Zixuan, who looked like a fairy, pursed her lips and smiled, but her deep and charming eyes stared at Jin Yingji.

Chief Jin smiled coquettishly, refusing to show weakness at all: "Zixuan strokes the qin, and Yingji blows the flute, how about our piano and flute ensemble?" ”

The sound of the piano is dingdong, Zhang Zixuan's slender jade fingers are caressing the Jiuxiao Huanpeiqin, and the sound is like mountains and flowing water; The sound of the flute is melodious, and Jin Yingji brings the jade flute to her red lips, and the music seems to carry the waves of the East China Sea.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the beauty is like jade, the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, and a good piano and flute ensemble.

At the end of the song, Zhang Zixuan gently stroked the strings: "Jin Xuanwei is really powerful, the sound of the flute implies that the waves are extinguished, and there is a faint ambition to clear the East China Sea!" ”

Jin Yingji also gave a rare modest: "Thanks to the praise, Miss Zixuan's piano sound is high and empty, as if the poem 'There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and readable', it is really rare!" ”

After that, the two beauties looked at Qin Lin to see how he tasted it.

What's this...... Qin Lin scratched his head and looked at Jin Yingji's slightly upturned cherry mouth: "Let me say it, I still prefer." ”

Bang! Jin Sakurahime's jade flute struck him directly on the head.

Zhang Zixuan was already laughing and lying on the yaoqin, and the flowers and branches trembled.
