Xu's study, there is only a dim oil lamp, reflecting an old face, compared to a few days ago, Xu Jie seems to be five years old, and his high heart has also been knocked down, the whole person looks like an ordinary old man, between his eyebrows, with an inextricable sorrow.

Defeated, a battle that was sure of nine out of ten, he failed.

The court push was a tie, Xu Jie immediately felt bad, he also wanted to launch a second round of voting, or re-nominate personnel, but it was a pity that Yan Song's father and son did not give him a chance, Yan Ge Lao immediately proposed that En go up and respectfully ask for the holy referee.

Although Xu Jie was worried, how could he say in front of hundreds of officials that he would let Jiajing get out, and Lao Tzu would have the final say. He had no choice but to compromise, and the results of Tingtui were sent up, and two days later, Jiajing finally circled Ouyang Bijin and drew a cross on Guo Pu's name.

The official department was missing, and Xu Jie couldn't help but think of Tang Yi's words that day, if the official tribe was in the hands of the Yan Party, he would cut off his own power with the help of Waicha and Jingcha. At that time, the Yan Party will really dominate the court.

Even if Yan Song died, Yan Shifan could still remotely control Yan Dang and completely set him up. After more than ten years of hard work and forbearance, it turned out to be such a result, Xu Jie's sadness and loss can be imagined.

He will not show his most down-and-out and humiliating side to Tang Yi, and the only thing that can make Xu Jie's heart is his confidant Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng was also sad and angry at the teacher, but he was not discouraged.

"Prime Minister, this time you and Yan Ge Lao each have eighteen votes, that is to say, the two sides have a tie, as long as you add a little more effort, Yan Song will be finished, you have already let the righteous people in the world see hope, why bother to be arrogant."

The words were happy, and Xu Jie barely squeezed out a wry smile. "Uncle, the account can't be calculated like this, Ouyang Bijin got the official book, which is equivalent to holding the power of life and death, and the strict party will definitely cut off the wings of the division. This time it was His Majesty who appointed Ouyang Bijin, which showed that His Majesty was still partial to the Yan Party. Those ****** will fall to Yan Song again. ”

People's hearts are so mysterious, Xu Jie's victory is in his hands, and all parties are optimistic about him, but the result has not yet been won. It is a huge blow to the Xu Party and neutral officials. These people will inevitably look down on him Xu Jie, thinking that he will never have the ability to beat Yan Song. When the next court pushes, Xu Jie can maintain more than ten votes, it will already be good, and he wants to fight against Yan Song. Wish for the moon.

"Alas, Prime Minister, it would be nice if Guo Pu was not promoted, he is still too weak compared to Ouyang Bijin." Zhang Juzheng said sadly.

Xu Jie glanced at him, feeling bitter in his heart, silly boy, it's not all for you!

Guo Pu is a native of Henan. It is a fellow villager of Gao Gong, and the two have a close relationship. Xu Jie once thought about pushing Tang Shunzhi again, with Tang Shunzhi's fame and the saint's family, there was still hope for Ouyang Bijin.

But once Tang Shunzhi took charge of the ministry, he had the power of personnel, plus Tang Yi's ability to turn the clouds and rain. This pair of masters and apprentices join forces, and no one can stop them.

Xu Jie didn't want to defeat the Yan family's father and son, and then cultivate the Tang family's master and apprentice.

Don't look at Tang Yi also calling him a teacher, and Zhang Juzheng's "teacher" is not at the same level at all. And Tang Yi also knows what to do. Didn't take the initiative to fight for it.

Xu Jie calculated that pushing Guo Pu to replace the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu was equivalent to grabbing half of the Yuwang Party, and then the layout was calm.

Who knows, the abacus was clanging, and it turned the tables at the last moment, why Jiajing chose Ouyang Bijin, it's really incomprehensible......

Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng secretly discussed, in a small courtyard in the capital, there were two people sitting opposite each other, four side dishes and a pot of wine, drinking and chatting, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than Xu Jie's.

"Okay, Elder Xu Ge must be very disappointed, right?"

Tang Yi shrugged, "How do I know that people won't shed tears in front of me if they have them." ”

The red-faced man on the opposite side grabbed his long beard and frowned, "I just can't figure it out, why didn't Xu Jie train you to be your successor?" I'm not flattering you, when it comes to your means and behavior, it's much better than that Zhang Juzheng. Isn't it just as rumored outside, Zhang Ju is Xu Jie's illegitimate son? Not to mention, the facial features of the two of them are quite similar."

Burst!

A sip of wine almost squirted out, what a deal!

Just one leader, Zhang Juzheng, is a head taller than Xu Jie, and he can see that they are father and son, how blind they should be!

"I said Lu Taibao, how can you learn how to chew the tongue roots! Who knows more about the secrets in the world than your brocade guards? ”

The big man on the opposite side turned out to be Jinyi Wei Taibao Lu Binglu Wenming!

After drinking the wine in the cup, Tang Yi filled Lu Bing with it.

"Alas, brother Xingzhi, if you say something from your heart, my knowledge is also limited, don't say anything else, just take the Jiuyang Association as an example, I will plant a big heel!"

Seeing that Lu Bing finally mentioned the topic, Tang Yi put down his chopsticks and asked in a low voice: "Lu Taibao, you didn't let me check the Jiuyang Society last time, could it be that you Jinyi Wei ......?"

"Ball!"

Lu Bing slapped the table angrily, "Speaking of which, it has been more than ten years, once the brother of Jinyiwei fell in love with a fat sheep on an errand, and as a result, a group of grandsons took the lead. In a fit of rage, I had people track down the stronghold of the Jiuyang Society and arrested dozens of them. ”

Tang Yi's face was black, and he said in his heart Where is Jinyiwei, the whole bandit mountain king.

Not to mention, before meeting Tang Yi, the way for Jinyi Wei to get money was to kidnap tickets, and they all figured out the bottom of the other party before they acted.

The ransom is guaranteed to be paid and not in trouble. Back then, because of the kidnapping, Lu Bing fell into the hands of Xia Yan and was reprimanded by the old Shoufu.

Xia Yan was kind to a woman for a while, let Lu Bing go, and turned around, Lu Bing and Yan Song teamed up to hack Xia Yan......

"Lu Taibao, since you discovered the Jiuyang Society more than ten years ago, why don't you cut the grass and eradicate the roots and let them develop and grow?"

"Alas, I would have slept on the sieve if I knew the urine kang." Lu Bing said with annoyance: "Back then, I caught an altar master of the Jiuyang Society, but someone in the palace found me, saying that he was begging me for extrajudicial mercy, and the people below had a hard time. Then Yan Shifan also found me and interceded for a while. Okay, tell me, the little Jiuyang Club is involved in the palace and the Yan Party, do I dare to investigate? ”

Tang Yi pouted slightly, if it was put on his body, he would definitely have to investigate, not only to investigate, but also to get to the bottom of it.

What does Jinyiwei do, that is, to kill people and make whole people, eat fasting and recite Buddha, is that still the living king of Hades that everyone hears about?

Lu Bing noticed Tang Yi's disdain, and he had nothing to say, they all said that character determines fate, and Lu Bing just lacked a sense of decisiveness and ruthlessness.

In fact, now that I think about it, if I had really investigated it drastically ten years ago, I wouldn't have the trouble I have today.

The relics of raising tigers are all found by myself!

Lu Bing slammed the table, "Okay, do you know why Your Majesty didn't participate in the court push?" ”

"This ...... I heard that it was to ask for rain, and it came down without rain, and it was still Your Majesty's sincerity! Tang Yi looked admiring, as if Jiajing could really call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers. Just the two of us, don't pretend to be garlic, Your Majesty is not begging for rain, but dealing with the people around you? ”

"Who?" Tang Yi asked in surprise, there were a lot of people around Jiajing, and he couldn't help but hang his heart.

Lu Bing smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry, it's not a bad thing for you, it's a good thing." Lu Bing said the matter randomly.

It turned out that since the case of the Jiuyang Society was detonated, a large number of account documents were first searched in the Tianwang Temple, which recorded the correspondence with the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital.

Tang Yi knew that this was a landmine, he had already stepped on it in Quanzhou, this time he would never touch it, and directly sealed it and handed it to Huang Guangsheng.

Huang Guangsheng shouldered Xu Jie's order, and if he didn't check, he would check, and after he counted, he found that many people came here and gave some incense money to Tianwang Temple, some people invited the old Buddha to worship, and some people got some strange pills to go back.

There was only one group of people who made him feel horrified, that is, the eunuchs in the palace, the number of them was beyond Huang Guangsheng's expectations, there were imperial horse supervisors, there were needlework bureaus, there were direct palace supervisors, and there were royal eunuchs......

Although it is not a very high position, it is very wide-ranging. Huang Guangsheng didn't dare to decide on his own, so he could only ask Xu Jie, and Xu Jie's list was directly sent to Jiajing.

Jiajing has been seriously insecure since he entered the palace, and when he knew that there were people around him who would have something to do with Jiuyang, his anger could be imagined. Of course, Jiajing cherishes face and will not let the foreign court interfere, so he can only hand over the matter to his most trusted brother Lu Bing.

"Okay, these days, a total of more than 30 eunuchs who worship Lao Buddha in the palace have been arrested, and two Taoist priests around His Majesty have also been found. As a result, His Majesty was furious, except for Basket Daoxing, as well as several apprentices of Tao Tianshi, who were innocent and honest, the others were expelled from Xiyuan. It's just that he is temporarily imprisoned in Jinyiwei, so as not to cause people's hearts to fluctuate, but the things in this palace have always been hidden, and rumors will be spread these days......"

Lu Bing wanted to continue, but found that Tang Yi's face changed color, grabbed the wine glass and took two sips, his eyelids rolled up, the corners of his mouth foamed, and he said vaguely: "No, this wine is so strong, why am I drunk!" With that, Tang Yi got up, staggered, and walked outside.

Lu Bingke is angry, you kid still want to run!

He stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed Tang Yi's neck, and pressed him to the seat at once.

Tang Yi was full of regret, of course he knew that Jiuyang would be implicated in the palace, don't look at what Lu Bing said easily, but Tang Yi knew how much it was involved. Knowing this, he shouldn't have asked Lu Bing to inquire about Ouyang Bijin's news!

Tang Yi couldn't regret it, but Lu Bing smiled proudly: "Brother Xingzhi, in a word, if you get on the thief ship, don't think about running away." ”

Seeing Tang Yi with his eyes closed and looking like he had been killed, Lu Bing stomped his feet.

"Okay brother, count me begging you, as long as you help me get through this hurdle, I will listen to you for everything."

Tang Yi was still unmoved, and Lu Bing was really anxious.

"Even if you have the ability, let me tell you how Ouyang Bijin became the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and it was Yan Ge Lao who wrote a secret letter to His Majesty." (To be continued.) )
