Wenyuan Pavilion, the first auxiliary duty room.

Hearing him put on a high hat for himself, Xu Jie's expression did not relax, he knew that this was just a first yang. Then he pursed his lips and listened to Zhu Heng continue: "It is precisely because of the hope of the government and the opposition that you must not be partial......

"How is the old man partial?" Xu Jie took a sip of tea, lowered his eyelids, and said.

"When is it?" Zhao Zhenji coldly said again: "You are still protecting Zhang Taiyue, could it be that he is really your own child?" "Everyone is tempered by setbacks, but Zhao Zhenji is the older he gets, the more frustrated he is, the more courageous he becomes, and he will not suffer until he dies.

With a 'snap', Xu Jie put the teacup on the table, glared at Zhao Zhenji and said, "You are also known as everyone, how can you learn to spread rumors?!" ”

Seeing that the teacher was really angry, Zhao Zhenji could only suppress his temper and said in a muffled voice: "The teacher forgives the sins, I am also in a hurry." Now that the wind has risen, the cries for severe punishment of the murderers are higher than one làng, and there is already a monstrous trend! If you keep covering it all the time, you're going to set it on fire......"

"Alas, you have such a temper, sooner or later you will have to suffer......" Xu Jie sighed deeply, and he no longer had the same knowledge as him.

"As long as the teacher is good, I will suffer, where can I lose?" In order to persuade Xu Jie, Zhao Zhenji did not hesitate to endure his stomach and said: "You are always our pillar and family, but you must not lose!" Saying that, he spit out a mouthful of turbidity and said: "At my age, I'm not afraid that you will say that I chew my tongue, but today's situation is all caused by Zhang Juzheng's xiǎo, you still blindly protect him, don't talk about others, we don't want to do it first!" ”

Xu Jie sighed again, all along, the thing he was most worried about had appeared...... The fact that the people in the Xu Party demanded to give up Zhang Juzheng despite their own wishes is not terrible in itself, but what is terrible is the information behind it...... People's hearts are scattered, or they don't listen to their own greetings!

Compared with the loss of Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie is more concerned about losing control of the party. He knew that if he couldn't convince Zhu Heng and Zhao Zhenji, the people below would act on their own, and the huge force he had worked so hard to build would fall apart, which he couldn't accept.

"Your heart of fist, the old man is very moved." So Xu Jie could only endure the xìng Zi and said: "But I have to say that your ideas are too naïve. ”

The two of them remained silent, waiting for him to say something that was not naïve.

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

"So far, this case is really complicated to say that it is complicated, but to say it is simple is also a matter of one sentence." Xu Jie was not in a hurry, and said slowly to them: "If you check Wang Tingxiang, you will find Li Chūn Fang, and if you check Li Chūn Fang, you will find Zhang Juzheng...... If even Zhang Juzheng finds out, how can the old man still have the face to stand in the court again? After a pause, he said: "Speaking of which, it was also the old man's mistake, I thought that if I suffered some grievances, I would be able to turn this matter into a big thing." Saying that, he sighed helplessly: "Who knew that it would become more and more intense, and the trouble would become more and more out of control." "Why did I hear that Long Qing was in Zuo'an Mén that day, and the situation of Xu Ge Elder would be like that, because he knew that he had miscalculated again...... I can't cover this case.

As soon as Xu Wei's sacrificial text came out, it was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, making Xu Ge Lao Che completely passive, and in everyone's opinion, he had to break his wrist immediately.

And Zhao Zhenji and Zhu Heng came this time on behalf of the Xu Party, one is to ask about the plan, and the other is to ask Xu Jie to focus on the overall situation and stop blindly favoring it.

Hearing Xu Jie's bitterness, Zhao Zhenji secretly said in his heart: "I knew today, why bother in the first place!" Then he sighed and said: "At that time, I said that the deceased is gone, even if I give Hu Zongxian a supreme honor, what can I do?" I let go of such a big holiday with him, but the teacher still can't let go. ”

"It's not a question of hatred or not." Xu Jie shook his head and said: "He is not Hanlin, he can't give the word 'Wen', followed by 'loyalty' or 'Xiang', the old man advocated cutting his military power back then, and I also approve of taking him into Beijing this time, how can I give him the word 'loyalty'?" Said a little depressed: "Actually, it is appropriate to give a 'Xiangshu', but someone wants to use the topic to play, even if you give a 'Zhongxiang', he will do the same!" ”

"Who wants to play on the topic?" Zhao Zhenji was shocked, and Zhu Heng also looked at Xu Jie nervously.

"......" Xu Jie fell silent, in fact, that day, as soon as Zhang Juzheng reminded him, he realized that he was silently calculated. It's ridiculous that I thought that Shen Mo took the initiative to suppress the case, which was a sign that he didn't dare to conflict with himself. Who knows that Shen Mo is like Chengzu expedition to the grassland, who was able to sneak after discovering the ancient camp of Méng, and did not attack immediately, not because he was afraid of the Méng ancients, but just hoped to win at the most Xiǎo price.

Of course, until now, Xu Jie didn't think that Shen Mo would set his goal on himself. Because the Ming Dynasty is maintained by a 'Gangchang', the prince of heaven and earth must not be violated. Although the territory of the Ming Dynasty is large, there is no place for those who deceive teachers and destroy ancestors; No matter how long the Holy Relatives are, it is impossible to protect a wicked animal that is always regarded as nothing!

So unless you want to die together, you will never have the idea of bringing down your own first assistant. As for his real motive, Xu Jie believes that he wants to clean up the mén household by himself and truly establish his position as the first assistant. After repeated scrutiny, Xu Ge Lao was sure that there would be no mistake, and in addition to the cold teeth, he couldn't help but secretly admire, it was really arsenic mixed with garlic, poisonous and spicy, this student was already blue!

What made Xu Jie even more helpless was that Shen Mo used all the yang scheme, and all the effort was done outside the play...... For example, if there were no operas, storytelling, and scripts for Hu Zongxian in advance, if there were no operas, storytelling, and scripts, which were repeatedly sung among the people all day long, Hu Zongxian's reputation would not have risen to the top, and he would have been on a par with Yu Qian. It's nowhere near as tricky as it is now.

Everyone else's kung fu is sitting in front, and now they are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and watching the changes in the situation. But I don't know it, how can I not be passive everywhere?

The most breathtaking thing is that he knows that he is making trouble, but he can't fight back. Because as soon as he came, Shen Mo didn't leave any handle, but firmly established an image of being wronged and sympathetic, and at this time, something was going to happen to him. Second, he was pushed to the top of the wind, and now if something happens, it may become the straw that crushes the camel. In this eventful season, it is better to have more than one thing, and one less thing is better than nothing, and everything has to wait until this level is passed.

It can be said that since Xu Jie's debut, although he is famous for his turtle magic skills and is an expert in eating losses, he has never eaten this kind of big loss that he can't swallow, can't speak, can't play, and can't handle!

can only be secretly ruthless, and when he passes this level, even if he is desperately injured, he must let this criminal never turn over!

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

Seeing that Xu Jie's face was full of depression and murderous for a while, but he didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Zhenji had no choice but to say loudly: "Teacher, teacher......"

Xu Jie came back to his senses at this time, and said with a long sigh: "That's it, don't talk about him." Then he cleared his throat and said: "To get back to the point, the so-called strong man broke his wrist, and it was possible that a strong man lived at the beginning; But now, the situation has changed abruptly, and the degree of attention of the government and the opposition to this matter is several times higher? Whether it is Wang Tingxiang or Li Chūnfang, even if he could keep a secret for us at the beginning, it was because 'I can stay in the green mountains and am not afraid of no firewood'. But now once they are found out, if they are not drowned by the foaming stars, they can only find a bent-necked tree and hang themselves......" I heard him say word by word: "Either they have to be saved, or they will die with the old man, understand?" ”

Zhao Zhenji and Zhu Heng glanced at each other, after all, they were just outsiders, although they knew that the situation was serious. I didn't expect it to be so serious...... Xu Jie is right, once it becomes a nest case, how can he, the first assistant, have the face to mix it up again? I had to roll up and go home.

"So what to do?" The two finally realized that Xu Ge Lao was helpless.

"There are two ways." Xu Jie picked up the teacup, took a sip, and found that it was already cold, so he couldn't help but put down the cup with some pity.

"Which two?" The two asked in unison.

"Endure or retreat, endure for a while, take a step back and open the sky." Xu Jie said lightly: "Don't worry, this game of chess is still in my hands, and I will retreat if it doesn't work, not only is this case over, I'm afraid that even those with ulterior motives will have to be choked to death by the làng!" ”

"Don't think about it until there's no way out." The two of them calmed Xu Jie's decision, and hurriedly said: "Daming can't do without Yuan Weng, and we can't do without Yuan Weng!" ”

"There is no one who is inseparable, and no one can turn the same when they leave." Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't give up until I have to." Although he talked about the word retreat all day long, Xu Jie knew that the gap between the court and the opposition was so big that it was like being stubborn against his bare hands, although he might not necessarily lose, it was too difficult and too difficult.

So as long as there is one possibility, he will not retreat......

"If you don't say goodbye, then there is only one forbearance left." Zhu Heng asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, you don't have to endure it for long," Xu Jie said leisurely: "There are still eight days for the New Year, as long as you endure these eight days, the wind will be quiet." ”

"Why?" Zhu Heng said.

"Because this year is the year of Dabi." It was Zhao Zhenji who answered him, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so he was naturally more sensitive to these things, and said: "Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the creditor does not collect debts, and the government does not open the debt. After the New Year, there is less than a month left, and it is chūn 闱. During this time, the scholar was the most honest, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of being taken advantage of and not being able to take the test brand. ”

"Yes, the main thing is that those scholars are making trouble, but if it is really a lifelong event, I don't dare to make trouble." Xu Jie's head said: "After the exam, when the list is released, they still have to be honest." As long as it takes until the last minute to release the list, it will be another month. Chinese people are forgetful, and for nearly three months, they don't know what to pay attention to. ”

"So, as long as you spend the last few days of the year?" Zhu Heng asked in a deep voice: "This is not difficult, under the root of the year, the imperial court already has a lot of things." ”

Zhao Zhenji also realized Xu Jie's old spiciness, and said in his heart, what a trick without a trick is really worthy of being the head of the turtle faction. He smiled dryly: "It turns out that we are in a hurry......

"You're right to be anxious." Xu Jie said slowly: "I don't deal with those people, I just have to wait until the wind has passed and it cools down, and now I can only barely carry it." After that, he looked at the two of them and said: "The clothes are not as good as new, the people are not as good as the old, and at the critical moment, you old guys have to fight up." In the face of an unprecedented crisis, Xu Jie knew that it was useless to just talk about it, and he had to come up with something practical, so he said: "The old man used to favor young people, and he felt that the Yangtze River was pushing the front làng, which proved to be wrong...... The imperial court still has to rely on the elders to be stable. ”

Saying that, he first said to Zhao Zhenji: "After the New Year, I will arrange for you to enter the cabinet, and you have to start preparing." ”

Rao is Zhao Zhenji is pessimistic about fame and fortune, but entering the cabinet is also a huge yòuhuò for him. What can be done is to keep your face and nod your head, so as not to lose face.

Xu Jie turned to Zhu Heng again and said: "It turns out that the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't do without you, this time there is no Wang Tingxiang to hinder you, you have to pick up this burden again." ”

Zhu Heng is not interested in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he prefers to engage in water conservancy, but he also knows that this is an order to be ordered in danger, and he cannot shirk it. So he also thanked him lightly.

Seeing the calm appearance of the two of them, Xu Jie felt tired, this is why he doesn't like to use old guys, one by one, nose chaff, pretending to be an elephant! I don't really listen to the call.

After saying everything that should be done, he didn't want to see the two of them again, so he sent the guest away: "Many people are still worried about it." Don't guard me here, go and tell those who haven't come, don't be afraid, don't move, just celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. ”

The two nodded yes and got up to take their leave.

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

As soon as they left, Xu Jie's strong jīng spirit was all vented at once. Leaned back in the chair dejectedly, and said to the old servant tiredly: "Help me ......" and refused to say a word.

Fortunately, the old servant had served him for many years, and he knew what Xu Jie meant, so he helped him move to the recliner and lie down, adjust his comfortable position, and then take a blanket to cover him.

Changing to the most effortless posture, Xu Jie finally wanted to speak again, and said to the old servant in a hoarse voice: "I'm really tired...... At my age, others are all in the middle of my age, and they are all raising their children for a long time, what do you say I am trying to do? ”

The old servant smiled honestly: "For the emperor, for the people, for our Ming Dynasty......"

"Hehe......" Hearing his answer, Xu Jie laughed tiredly, and said in a vague voice: "Yes, it's not ......" and sank into the dream-
