To tell the truth, Peng Yue was still very unhappy when he saw Yang Jisheng's opposition to border trade, because he thought that Yang Jisheng was more pedantic in this matter, and opening border trade was beneficial, but because Yang Jisheng's image of a tough guy and loyal minister had always been deeply engraved in Peng Yue's heart, Peng Yue didn't say anything.

But Qiu Luan's reaction was more intense: he finally opened the border market trade, and he achieved such a big effect, what kind of trouble are you kid here to make? Could it be that he really asked Lao Tzu to go and have a hard time with me? Do you know how difficult it is to negotiate once...

So Qiu Luan soothed Chen Yang Jisheng's ignorance of soldiers and was too short-sighted, and then slandered him. The result is obvious, that is, Yang Jisheng is unlucky, a small military official, how can he confront General Qiu's words?

So Peng Yue didn't even have time to stop him, and Zhu Houxi demoted Yang Jisheng to the history of Di Daodian. At this point, the horse market was opened, and the border was peaceful for a while, and the voices of dissent naturally died down.

Of course, it is not only Qiu Luan who is living smoothly at this time, but also Xu Jie. Since the last time I had a rebellion in the capital, Xu Jie's treatment has gradually improved, who made him perform so well in the cabinet meeting at that time?

So although Xu Jie did not enter the cabinet, he has always enjoyed the treatment of cabinet members, and was called into the palace by Zhu Houyu from time to time, drinking tea and chatting with Zhu Houyi, which formed a stark contrast to Yan Song, who was treated coldly.

Of course, in this process, Xu Jie also sacrificed a lot, for example, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he actually agreed to Zhu Houxi's decision to invite the dead Empress Xiaolie into the temple. Because he was reprimanded for sticking to his principles at the beginning, he stopped insisting on it, these empty things, what do you like, I don't care.

Peng Yue's life was not bad, because he didn't want to get involved in the political disputes anymore, so he concentrated on his own reforms and rectified the economic work of the Ming Empire.

At this time, the Ordnance Institute researched a new weapon, which made Peng Yue much happier than seeing Yan Song's bad luck. After returning home, accompanied by a beautiful wife and concubine, why do you say Peng Yue is uncomfortable?

As for Yan Song, if he doesn't rectify him, there will naturally be others, such as Qiu Luan. Anyway, now Peng Yue didn't have any handle on Yan Song, so he didn't want to follow Qiu Luan to bite indiscriminately, he just wanted to live a comfortable life for a few days with peace of mind.

Of course, it is impossible for Yan Song to stay at home in peace, he has been looking for an opportunity to fight back, and at the same time, he is also reflecting on his own problems.

He knew that he was indeed a little inferior when he was in the capital of the rebellion, so it was not unreasonable for Zhu Houxi to be close to Xu Jie now.

And he didn't restrain himself, at that time, he brought down Shen Lian, and he also relied on Zhu Houxi's favor and trust in him before, but he knew that Zhu Houyu couldn't help but make a little wave in his heart when he saw Shen Lian's impeachment of himself.

Of course, he did not stop later, Xu Xueshi in Langzhong of the Criminal Department, Wang Zongmao and others in Nanjing Yushi impeached themselves one after another, but they still planned to let them either reduce their status or demote their officials.

The result of this is to make Zhu Houyu more and more jealous of himself and more and more alienated from himself, so Yan Song learned to be obedient, and he was silent for a long time, just to slowly change Zhu Houxi's impression of himself.

The hard work paid off, and Yan Song's efforts finally paid off, because Zhu Houxi's attitude towards Yan Song slowly got better.

For example, today Zhu Houxi summoned Yan Song alone and chatted with him in Xiyuan. At first, it was a casual chatter intentionally or unintentionally, and then it was about Xu Jie.

However, Yan Song was uncharacteristically this time, and he was full of praise for Xu Jie, who was diligent in political affairs, humble, from character to official character, he did not hesitate to praise him, and even the excellent writing of green words became a reason for praise.

Hearing this, Zhu Houyu nodded again and again, obviously, now Zhu Houyu is also very satisfied with Xu Jie. However, Yan Song would never wear a high hat for Xu Jie for no reason, and the next sentence revealed his intentions, "Xu Shangshu is good, but a little more second-hearted!" ”

Praise first and then scold, praise and scold in one, maybe this is the highest state of scolding, right? That's all you have to say, go for yourself. Of course, Zhu Houxi understood what Yan Song meant, but he saw that his face suddenly became gloomy, and at the same time he nodded again.

What is Yan Song's referencing? It turned out that not long ago, Xu Jie, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had gone to Zhu Houxi and asked for the early establishment of the prince.

This is both a duty and a practical need. To say that Zhu Houxi is alchemy and taking medicine every day, and his health is not very good, if you hang up one day, who will take over the throne? You are not a son, and you will inevitably have a big drama when the time comes, which is harmful to the country.

Xu Jie's suggestion is indeed very reasonable, but it also touches on one of the most sensitive places of the emperor: the establishment of an heir.

Most emperors have always been very shy about this kind of thing, and they are even more reluctant to involve their ministers in this kind of thing, the most famous of which is the Nine Dragons of the Qing Dynasty during the Kangxi period, which was extremely fierce at that time.

So Zhu Houxi was very angry when he heard Xu Jie's mention of this, but Xu Jie's classmate behaved very well at that time, and it was inconvenient for him to lose his temper, but he didn't agree, of course, Xu Jie's was also very smart and didn't entangle anymore.

At this time, Yan Song mentioned this matter again, and he couldn't help but ponder about Zhu Houxi. Yes, two hearts, two hearts! Yan Song suddenly said what Zhu Houxi cared about the most: the reason why the minister wanted the emperor to quickly appoint the crown prince was to make it clear that the camp was standing in line and planning for his future.

Of course, it would be a lie for Xu Jie's classmate to say that he didn't have any thoughts in this regard, so Xu Jie's beautiful image suddenly collapsed in Zhu Houxi's heart: I'm not dead yet, you want to start anew?

So in the following days, Zhu Houxi's attitude towards Xu Jie was obviously cold, and he didn't ask him to go into the palace to drink tea and chat.

Xu Jie could naturally understand Zhu Houxi's estrangement, and looking at Yan Song, who often went in and out of Xiyuan, he knew who was the troublemaker.

Xu Jie didn't complain, he just thought about how to save the situation. Slowly, he became silent, and no longer casually talked about the government, for Yan Song, Xu Jie also intended to be close, and everyone praised him a lot, and at the same time worked hard to write more green words, and did a good job in literary creation, so as to win Zhu Houxi's favor.

He even bought off Zhu Houxi's close attendants, so Zhu Houyu could often hear the inconspicuous people around him who served him and said something to praise Xu Jie.

In modern society, it is often said that you must have a good relationship with the boss's secretary, driver, and nanny, and it makes sense. Therefore, with Xu Jie's continuous efforts, Zhu Houxi's attitude towards Xu Jie's attitude slowly changed for the better, but Xu Jie's no longer dared to act rashly.

At this time, the government seemed to be slowly regaining calm, and a delicate but stable relationship was maintained between Xu Jie and Yan Song.

However, there was a problem in Qiu Luan, to be precise, there was a problem in the northwest, and more precisely, there was a problem in the border trade... (To be continued.) )
