Chapter 826: Above the Temple

Wang Zhi and Xu Hai both knew that if they didn't fight again, their subordinates would be abolished, but the two of them were indulged in Wang Cuiqiao's gentle township, and the other was old and decrepit, unable to lead his subordinates, and against Daming, they didn't have the courage.

After dealing with Tang Yi, they are like sugar cubes that have fallen into a honey pot, although they are sweet and relaxed, they are constantly dissolving and consuming, and it will not be long before they disappear without a trace.

Sending troops to Luzon is the last chance for the two people, and no matter what, they have to fight hard.

Although the Xiyi were powerful, they came from afar, and their troops were limited, and King Suleiman of Luzon was still leading his troops to fight, and there were tens of thousands of Han Chinese in the local area. The inside and the outside should be combined, and the odds are still not small.

Despite their reluctance, Wang Zhi and Xu Hai were still honest and chose to be a gun for Tang Yi.

However, Tang Yi didn't think that an old Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, who had lost his sharpness, could defeat the Spaniards, so he chose the younger and more vigorous Lin Afeng and made him the nominal commander, and handed over the logistics to Dong Fen, who had been a squire and dealt with tens of thousands of people, which was extremely easy. Tang Yi also explained to Xi Muyun and asked him to be in charge of the intelligence work in Nanyang, gather the athletes, and act as the striker to ensure the success of the first battle.

Just doing this, Tang Yi did not give up, the first time he showed his sword overseas, it must be perfect, and there must be enough shock. The imperial court was not needed to fight a war, but the next development of Luzon and the immigrant trade required the cooperation of the imperial court. Especially after fighting Spain, will they gather people and horses to retaliate, at that time, they must come forward to deter Daming, at least Daming's tiger skin is still very scary.

For this reason, Tang Yi specially wrote a long note, introduced the situation clearly, and sent it to the cabinet with 800 miles of expedited......

On August 17, the regular meeting of the cabinet, this meeting in the past year, was just a formality, the second assistant Tang Shunzhi was sick, Li Chunfang was a person who didn't pay attention, all major and small affairs, all Xu Jie's decision, whether it was opened or not was worthless.

This time it was different, the people in charge of serving the scholars came early and cleaned the conference room, even the corners were not spared, and the furnishings were carefully checked, for fear of making mistakes.

In the end, they respectfully brought in four chairs and displayed them in the middle, yes, four!

There was still a quarter of an hour left, and he saw Li Chunfang hurrying first, he looked around, cautiously, there was no problem, and then he sat down at the left-hand position, closed his eyes and recuperated.

After waiting for a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Li Chunfang hurriedly looked up, and saw two adults walking in one after the other.

The one in front is Guo Pu, the former secretary of the Ministry of Officials, the new prince and the prince Wu Yingdian scholar, followed behind him, and the one who was half a step behind was the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the prince and the prince Fu Wenyuan Pavilion scholar Gao Gong, these two were violent, entering the house, Gao Gong deliberately paused, waiting for Li Chunfang to take the initiative to come over to give a salute, he returned the salute, just like Li Chunfang's boss, but in fact, in terms of seniority, Li Chunfang is the second assistant of the Eight Classics, but this guy is used to being angry, and he has long not known what the word temper is.

The more honest he is, the more Gao Gong looks down on him, as a scholar and a minister, he should show his majesty, report to the king's grace, and reassure the people, save the people from fire and water, and turn the tide in the fall. How can you be submissive, like a little daughter-in-law, to see how the old man became a scholar!

Gao Gong was full of confidence, just ten days ago, the court push was held, and the three people with the highest voice were Yang Bo, Gao Gong and Guo Pu could only be ranked behind.

It was only the day before the court push that Yang Bo suddenly led the troops at the border for a long time, neglected the court etiquette, and took the initiative to withdraw from the court push, but only Gao Gong and Guo Pu participated, and the two passed smoothly and entered the cabinet to pay respects.

No matter how nice it sounds, it can't hide the fact that Yang Bo failed to hit the cabinet for the second time, in fact, taking the initiative to withdraw is just a nice rhetoric, who is willing to admit defeat and retreat, but there is nothing to do.

Due to Ge Shouli's improper handling, the chaos in Suzhou spread throughout the southeast and threatened Caoyun City.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the impeached officials must immediately report to the letter and suspend their posts, and wait until the investigation is over and their innocence is returned before they can re-examine the matter.

Yang Bo is so shrewd, even with his status, he can't shake it in the slightest, as long as the investigation is delayed, it takes two or three months, and there is no result, at that time, the cucumber vegetables are cold, in case Jiajing dies during the period, King Yu ascends the throne, Tang Yi, Chen Yiqin, Tang Ruji, these teachers of King Yu are about to take the throne, there is a high arch in the front, and Tang Yi in the back, and then enter the cabinet as a gas bag, what else is there to taste!

The old guy is really decisive, even if he covets the cabinet chair, he knows that there is no chance.

Since you can't get into the cabinet, you have to adjust the layout.

Yang Bo had a secret meeting with Gao Gong before the court push, and got straight to the point, Yang Bo said to Gao Gong, you are the enlightenment teacher of King Yu, you are like father and son, King Yu is about to ascend the throne, your entry into the cabinet is a matter of course, no one can stop it, Xu Jie's recommendation of you to enter the cabinet at this time is simply a trick, selling fake favors.

Gao Gong is not stupid, of course he knows it, but the problem is that Gao Gong also has a full stomach of calculations.

He is a guy who is not willing to be left behind, if he can enter the cabinet in the Jiajing Dynasty, he will be the elder of the two dynasties, the chief minister, and in terms of qualifications, although he can't compare to Xu Jie and Yang Bo, he can suppress Tang Yi.

Otherwise, if Tang Yi enters the cabinet with him, the relationship between the two and King Yu is on par, Tang Yi has huge power and outstanding achievements, and Gao Gong really has no advantage except for his poor qualifications.

Therefore, he must enter the cabinet as soon as possible, but if he wants to enter the cabinet, through the court push, he will have to nod his head to Xu Jie, and he will owe Xu Jie's favors.

Gao Gong is very awkward, very angry, Yang Bo patted his chest and told him, brother, don't worry, although I, Yang Bo, have no chance to enter the cabinet, I can push you, let you and Guo Pu pass the high vote, and everyone will be expected, so you don't have to worry about owing Xu Jie's favor.

In exchange, Yang Bo asked to be transferred from the military department to the official department.

After a few words, the shrewdness and reality of Shanxi people are all shown.

Since he can't enter the cabinet, he must seize the top of the ministry and hold the power of personnel, no matter who is the first assistant, he must let Yang Bo score three points, and he will be invincible first.

Gao Gong also understood Yang Bo's plan, of course he didn't like the actions of the Jin Party, but any politician never made decisions based on preferences. Gao Gong knew in his heart that Xu Jieshu had deep roots, Tang Yi was strong, if he wanted Gao Gong to make a difference, he must have strong strength, and if he couldn't make a difference, he would have to unite with the strong, there is no doubt that the Jin Party is the only choice......

Finally, after a complicated exchange, Gao Gong and Guo Pu both entered the cabinet with high votes, Yang Bo took over as the secretary of the ministry, and the secretary of the military department he left did not fall into the hands of Wang Chonggu, but by Guo Gan, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, who was born in Shaanxi, took over as the military department.

In any case, Gao Gong got his wish and became a university scholar.

At the first cabinet meeting, he put on a strong attitude, "Elder Xu Ge, the Ministry of Rites has just received a letter from King Suleiman of Luzon asking for help. Xiyi invaded our subject country, killed my people, cut off our trade routes, and invaded our maritime frontiers. What I mean is that the imperial court must immediately make an order and take action to defend the dignity of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Xu Jie was full of greasy, he didn't care about Luzon and Xiyi, in Xu Ge Lao's heart, these places were all wild places, and the people on them were no different from monkeys. What made him upset was his high-arched attitude, thinking that at the beginning, he was studying in the first half of the cabinet for half a year, even after five or six years, he was still respectful to Yan Song, and he didn't dare to express his opinions casually.

Gao Gong is good, and as soon as he entered the cabinet, he pointed out where to put him, the first assistant!

"Gao Ge Lao, as far as the old man knows, Luzon has not come to pay tribute for many years, and it is called a subject country, but in fact, it has long been not owned by the Ming Dynasty. And why do you want to offend my sea frontier theory? Moreover, crossing the ocean, for the sake of Luzon, vainly mobilized soldiers, once defeated, the court would lose face, not to mention, the household was empty, and he couldn't take out a little silver, and the old man was also powerless. At present, it is still important to focus on the court situation and the Ming Dynasty, and don't mention irrelevant things. ”

Gao Gong's brows are furrowed, Xu Jie thinks Gao Jie is domineering, and Gao Gong still thinks that Xu Jie is domineering!

Aren't you flaunting three and swearing an oath? He also said that if you speak widely, you will be public if you are the same thing, and if you are public, you will be private, and if you are private, you will be harmful. Why did you shut up as soon as I spoke, what do you mean?

Gao Gong rolled up his sleeves, and was about to have a seizure, Guo Pu saw it in his eyes, and quickly made a look, and then smiled: "What Yuan Weng said is extremely true, but the servant thinks that your worries are unfair." Luzon was originally a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, and before the 35th year of Jiajing, due to the sea ban, people did not come to pay tribute, which should also be, in recent years, even if they have the heart, the country is in war, and they can't come. As for what Yuan Weng said, it has nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty, the servant doesn't think so, don't say anything else, the city shipping department transports tens of millions of goods every year, do you want to pass through Luzon, our merchant fleet, do you want to repair and replenish in Luzon? According to the Tang Dynasty's note, thousands of Han people have been killed outside the city of Manila, and they are not abandoned people, but heroes who opened the sea for the imperial court. ”

"That's right, Yuan Weng's hometown is in Songjiang, why don't we two northerners care about maritime business?" Gao Gong took the opportunity to tease again, and Xu Jie was like eating a fly, his old face was blue.

Guo Pu quickly diverted the conversation and said: "Yuan Weng, you are worried that there will be a lot of money, once you fail, it will be out of control, in fact, it is not, Lin Afeng is willing to send people out of the field, and the businessmen and gentry in the southeast are willing to subscribe for bonds, according to the preliminary estimate of Lord Tang, you can sell three million taels of bonds, of which two million taels are used as military expenses, take out one million taels, and present them to the imperial court, in exchange for an edict from the Ming Dynasty, a dragon flag, Yuan Weng, such a cost-effective business, how can the imperial court refuse?"
