The atmosphere of the Beijing officialdom in the second year of Longqing can be summed up in a word, that is, 'shocking, incredible, unbelievable'!

The prestige of the two dynasties, the prestige of the two dynasties, the old minister who held high the "Jiajing Edict", and the old Xu Ge, who was almost invincible in the world, actually fell because of an impeachment in the matter.

Of course, the official statement is Zhishi. However, the so-called washing hands of the golden basin and retreating bravely from the rapids only exists in the history books, which is the beautification of the political struggle by historians. Even the people of the capital who were in the teahouse set up a dragon mén formation knew that Xu Ge Lao actually didn't want to leave, but actually wanted to stay...... It's just that I don't know what happened in one day, which made the emperor's attitude change suddenly, and he changed from earnest to resigned to resigned, but the common people had no way of knowing.

In fact, not only the people, but also the officialdom are looking at flowers in the fog and there are different opinions. It's just that the officials know more after all, and they can always touch the edge of the truth. There are probably three more reliable ones, one is that the emperor is really tired of Xu Jie, and he has long wanted to let this old man shine as far as he wants, and the so-called act of retention is just a gesture. There are also some people who say that Xu Jie's Zhishi is closely related to the case of last year, Hu Zongxian's death, the scandal in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the assembly in front of Zuo'an, the bizarre suicide of Wang Tingxiang, and the emperor's attitude constantly add pressure to Xu Ge's old man, making the old man tired, exhausted, and old, so he is naturally resolute.

There is also a more bizarre saying that Zhang Juzheng felt that Xu Jie was blocking his position, so he took the initiative to persuade Xu Jie to go to the throne, but passed the news to the emperor through the eunuch. In this way, Longqing was relieved to approve Xu Ge's invitation...... Although this kind is spread to have a nose and eyes, everyone does not believe it, how can the emperor have this level; Second, Xu Ge is like Zhang Juzheng's father, what good is his father when he is gone?

No matter how much speculation there is, no matter how unbelievable it is, there is no change in the results - on the twenty-second day of the first month of the second year of Longqing, the General Administration Department forwarded to all the officials a copy of Xu Ge's resignation, with the holy decree of Longqing - 'Permission to Zhishi, give platinum banknotes, order to take the official ship, send brocade guards to escort him back to his hometown, etc....... Someone who cares compares the emperor's reward with Xu Jie's income when he was high arch before, and finds that the latter is far less than the former.

Of course, at that time, the officials of the various government offices were immersed in shock, and no one had yet noticed these details...... Those officials who were attached to Xu Jie, the self-confidence and pride of the past poured out, and at this time they all hung their heads, their faces were defeated, frightened and dazed, and they didn't know what fate the future would be.

Each of the yamén was shrouded in an atmosphere of sadness and fear, with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments Corridor being the most ......

In the Imperial Procuratorate, the imperial historians who were already worried about their fate heard that the biggest backer collapsed, and the sadness in their hearts was beyond measure, I don't know who was the first to cry loudly, and then everyone cried loudly, many people cried to the ground, and touched their heads to the wall in pain, saying that they could not describe their sadness if they were mourned.

The people in the Six Science Corridor were also panicked, just half a month ago, Xu Ge Lao also held a meeting for them, asking them to unite as one to maintain stability. After the meeting, they also went to the book one after another, asking the emperor not to embarrass Xu Ge Lao anymore and quickly end the Luàn Bureau. Only a year later, their leader, mentor, and protector were impeached by one of them.

The fear of the future turned into incomparable anger, and the section chiefs and staff of the Sixth Science Corridor were eager to eat that damn Zhang Qi. However, Zhang Qi had expected such an end, and after the New Year, he said that he was sick at home and did not come to find excitement. But today, it was useless for him to hide, and the angry officials rushed to his house, dragged him out of the room and beat him, still unable to understand his hatred, and wrote on the wall outside his house 'Dog's leg home, stench for 10,000 years' eight big characters. Then they came to Xiangfu Hutong together and asked to meet Xu Gelao, hoping that he would change his mind.

In fact, the section chiefs knew that this was impossible, because after they saw the edict, they detained it first, and prepared to exercise the right to refute it and reject the holy decree; He hurriedly sent a representative to Xu Jie's house to inform. However, Xu Jie told them that it was his own idea, and that the emperor was just respecting his choice.

The hot faces of the section chiefs stick to a cold ass. Since Xu Jie had clearly informed him that this was from his original intention, there was naturally no reason to refute it, so he was transferred to the General Administration Division...... Since there was a chance to refuse, Xu Ge gave up, and of course it was impossible to resist after the edict was announced.

Sure enough, Xu Jie politely invited the officials into the house, and explained to them kindly that no one was retiring, he was old and tired, and it was time to retire, it was that simple.

No matter how the officials persuaded each other, Xu Jie repeated that argument and resolutely did not waver. Seeing that Xu Ge had made up his mind to grow old, the officials couldn't help crying loudly, causing Xu Jie to shed tears with them......

The officials cried: "You encouraged us to speak up and protect us from retaliation, but now you have left us alone, and those whom we have offended will surely seek revenge on us!" ”

Xu Jie wept when he heard this: "The old man is ashamed of you." The old man originally planned to let Zhang Taiyue continue to protect you after I left, but the world is unpredictable, and my sudden departure has flashed you. "The old man doesn't want to be good! The previous sentence also said that it was voluntary, and although the next sentence did not hit himself, there was a sense of grievance in and out of the words...... It's not that I don't want to protect you, it's someone bī me, I have to go wow.

Let him cry and complain, and the emotions of the officials changed from 'worrying about the future' to 'hating xiǎo people'......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the end, under the persuasion of Xu Gelao, he didn't give the people in the matter, but just vented his anger on the tracking of the people behind the scenes. Soon, they investigated the details of Zhang Qi, a former colleague and today's sworn enemy, and also came up with a reason why Zhang Qi framed Xu Jie.

Then, five members of the Criminal Department jointly issued a letter to the incident to expose Zhang Qi's crimes, saying that his impeachment of Xu Jie was a deliberate revenge. Shuzhong said: "When Zhang Qi was ordered to reward the army on the front line of Xuanda, there was a salt merchant named Yang Sihe, who was a good friend of his father Zhang Neem, and bribed Zhang Neem with thousands of gold. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Qi came back, he spoke for the interests of salt merchants, suggesting what 'sympathy for border merchants, opening up and opening up the middle, and eliminating the method of residual salt' and so on. However, the side affairs are complicated, and most of these things are difficult to implement, so they are placed in the bed of Xu Ge. Seeing that the matter could not be done, Yang Sihe, a salt merchant, asked Zhang Qi's father for a bribe, but the money had been squandered by Zhang's father and son in a few years and could not be returned. ’

Song Shuzhong also said: "Yang Sihe and other salt merchants, because they were dissatisfied with Xu Ge's side policy, had long had the intention of ousting him from power. took this as a threat and ordered Zhang Qi to write a letter to attack Xu Gelao. Zhang Qi was afraid that the matter would be exposed and he would be questioned by the imperial court, so he would launch an impeachment against Xu Gelao. Zhang Qi and the salt merchants should be held accountable and the law should be corrected. The emperor immediately ordered Jinyiwei to arrest Zhang Qi and his son and other people involved in the case, and put them in prison for strict interrogation.

In fact, the reason why Longqing agreed to the arrest so quickly was only because Xu Jie went into the wilderness happily and did not cause trouble, but made the emperor feel guilty...... Even from self-doubt, the previous judgment of Xu Jie. Of course, it was easy to ask this god away, and he had no intention of repenting. I just want to appease those Xu Jiezhishi, and the Xu Party officials who have been hit hard can be regarded as giving Xu Ge Lao a correct name.

However, he never imagined that this move would involve a big case...... When Yang Sihe was raided his home, it was found that many of his correspondence involved Jin merchants smuggling prohibited materials to the Mongols, which were unscrupulous and undisguised. Naturally, the businessmen mentioned in the letter are also named and surnamed, and they are also unabashed. As long as you follow this line, although you can't completely destroy the smuggling system of the Jin merchants, it is still possible to greatly damage their vitality.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This incident alarmed Yang Tianguan in Beimei Hutong, and in the face of those old folks who begged for mén, Yang Bo could only take it all. turned back to Yang Mu and said, "I'll just say that they can't let our family make money alone, find a way to get in touch and talk about the conditions." ”

As the only one of the three heroes in the world, Yang Bo, who is still famous before Xu Jie, is indeed an unfathomable master, and he is also proficient in playing yīn Mouyang Moulai, without the slightest ingenuity. From beginning to end, he was not deeply involved in the reversal, but only pushed on some key points and completed the seemingly impossible task.

He knew very well that after repeated smears by himself and Shen Mo, Xu Jie's image was no longer as pure as the White Lotus Holy Mother, especially in the emperor, he was not a human, a ghost, and he didn't want to see him again.

However, it is still impossible to remove Xu Jie openly and directly. Lord Yang, who is good at reverse thinking, has adopted the method of cutting off the back road...... He thought that as long as Xu Jieshang resigned and the emperor approved it again, Lao Xu's career would be over, it was that simple.

As for how to get Xu Jie to resign, of course, there is an opportunity...... Because according to the custom, generally speaking, the person who has been impeached, or who has a conflict with someone, and who he believes is no longer trusted by the emperor, such as what suggestions he has put forward have not been adopted, will voluntarily ask for resignation. Of course, it is also customary, and he will be comforted. That said, it's generally just an innocuous procedure.

There are so many of these things that everyone is used to it, and I don't think there will be any surprises. For example, when he fought with Gao Gong the year before, Xu Jie had eight resignations in a row! As a result, Gao Gong left, but he didn't leave.

Yang Bo saw such an opportunity, he asked Xu Jie to inadvertently go through the procedure again, and then as long as the emperor did not keep him, he could turn the procedure into a reality!

As for how to get the emperor to approve Xu Jie's resignation, it was his third step - from the moment Xu Jie's impeachment, he did everything he could, began to avenge Xu Jie's grievances, and secretly mobilized hundreds of officials to petition the emperor to keep Xu Ge Lao.

Let the emperor see that the higher Xu Jie's prestige, the more lethal the words in Zhang Qi's chapter will be. No emperor can stand it, and in the eyes of the hundred officials, only the prime minister has no himself, so Longqing finally made up his mind to expel Xu Jie, although there are some accidental factors in it, but it is also an inevitable result.

With three simple moves, the endgame left by Shen Mo was solved, and Xu Jie was completely checkmated, saying that Yang Bo had become a great success was a bit exaggerated, but the assessment of great wisdom and foolishness was affordable.

It's just that his opponent is Xu Jie, and it is impossible to be beaten in vain. After coming back to his senses, Xu Gelao decisively retreated to advance, completely reversed the unfavorable public opinion, and then grabbed the opponent's 'bird' through Zhang Qi, the leading bird, and reversed the situation in one fell swoop.

The steadiness and ruthlessness of his attack are by no means under Yang Bo.

Yang Bo knew very well that Xu Jie just wanted to get back to the field and gather the hearts of the people who were about to disperse, and he didn't really want to break the net with himself...... At this time, any desperate struggle will make people profit.

Yang Bo has already made a lot of money, and he knows that if he wants to do business for a long time, he has to let everyone have to make money, at least not to lose money. Therefore, he did not take countermeasures and intensify the contradictions, but took the initiative to ask Xu Jie for peace and made a silent offer...... Others don't know his relationship with Jin Yiwei, but Yang Bo knows it clearly...... That Xiǎo Zi must have blamed himself for using Zou Yinglong to give his political enemies an excuse, so he instructed Jinyiwei to fully cooperate with Xu Jie's orders.

So the representatives of the three parties began a fierce and difficult tug-of-war to redivide the sphere of influence before Gao Gong returned...... This is also the practice after every fierce struggle.

Why are people messing with you? It's just because you can mix well and mix well, otherwise who will rarely touch your stinky feet? Do you think it's a three-inch golden lotus of the beautiful NV?

At this time, if you look at the few people sitting at the negotiating table, you will find that it is still the three largest parties in the DPRK and China before the battle begins. It can be seen that all political events are essentially power struggles, and those who can really control their own destiny are still the few people who provoked this struggle.

For the beginning and the end, the only difference is that I only wanted to mix it up, but now I want to mix it better; And the original hope to mix well, can only seek to mix first, keep this useful body, and wait for the future to turn around.
