The big guys sit in a high position, but there are very few who don't ask for concubines, who are willing to guard the chaff after they are rich, so many beautiful women are willing to enter the door, and no one can bear it.

Shen Shixing, a scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, is a special case, he is in the top five in the Ming Li and actually ranking among the scholars, and he is already the top person in the world, but he has always been quite self-disciplined in this regard.

Shen Shixing's wife was engaged to him when he was a child, and after getting married, he had three sons and two daughters, and the husband and wife were very affectionate.

This kind of behavior is quite unusual among the big guys, and everyone is so jealous that they can't say it, but when they see such a thing in the house of such an old-fashioned person, everyone feels gloating.

Everything is decided by Lord Zhang and Gonggong Feng of the inner court, and small matters are under the jurisdiction of Zhang Siwei and Zhang Daxue, and the rest of you are very idle, and after this leisure, your demeanor is much weaker.

As Zhang Juzheng's party member, although Shen Shixing fell into a bad place, after all, he was a cabinet scholar, and the scholars who did not enter the cabinet and the members of the various yamen did not know how much they were red, and seeing him make a fool of himself, although he didn't say it, he had some schadenfreude.

Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, cleared his throat and nodded with a smile, which is already an obvious statement for these bigwigs who are about observing words and feelings.

Everyone didn't dare to continue to discuss, but they were adjusting their judgment in their hearts, saying that Zhang Siwei and Shen Shi were not in harmony with each other, but looking at Zhang Siwei's maintenance attitude at this time, it seemed that this was not necessarily possible.

In the imperial city, in the Wenyuan Pavilion, this is the center of the world, and the great politics of the Ming Empire and the thirteen provinces are decided here, and everyone who can be here is a human spirit, a look, a small change in look, everyone will analyze and judge.

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing are Zhang Juzheng's disciples, and they are loyal to the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, but their relationship with each other has always been very weak, which is also a normal situation.

Zhang Siwei, Zhang Han, Li Youzi, and Shen Shixing all obeyed Zhang Juzheng's words and supported Zhang Juzheng's decrees, but they had no connection with each other.

Everyone is in such a high position, if they are closely connected with each other, others are so jealous that it is okay to say, I am afraid that the first assistant Zhang Ge himself will be suspicious.

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing either relied on luck or relied on their wrists, they both walked into the cabinet, and their relationship with each other became more and more estranged.

Don't say it's idle talk, it's like a passer-by, as long as it is not proposed by Zhang Juzheng in the cabinet, one person proposes it, and the other person will inevitably keep silent.

However, Zhang Juzheng has never said anything about the relationship between the following two people, maybe only such a relationship will reassure him.

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing can understand this matter, and the other bigwigs can also understand it, so Zhang Siwei made such a maintenance intention today, which made many people wonder in their hearts, and some people even thought that Shen Shixing said that he was sick today, would there be anything else.

In the middle of the court, you must think of the things you can think of, and you must think of the things you can't think of, otherwise you will miss one step, and you may never recover.

Originally, during the time of waiting for Zhang Juzheng, it was also customary for courtiers to talk about some things that had nothing to do with political affairs, but after the one just now, everyone sat upright, but the hints in each other's eyes were inevitable.

With the spread of the word, Shoufu Zhang Juzheng walked into the house, and everyone stood up violently, in addition to saying hello, they also wanted to shout and warm up to the elder of the pavilion all the way, and express their condolences to the elder of the pavilion for his hard work.

In the past few months, Zhang Juzheng has traveled back and forth from north to south, walking the provinces like the Son of Heaven going out on patrol, majestic in all directions, so what is the hard work at all, but no one will mention it.

When a few people were greeting each other, they also looked at Zhang Siwei's side and found that Zhang Siwei was as usual, respectful and polite, without any slackness.

Zhang Juzheng didn't sit in his seat for too long, and there was a general message outside that "the emperor has arrived", and everyone had to stand up to greet him.

"I haven't seen Mr. Zhang for a few months, I miss it very much, this journey is hard, Mr. Zhang has also lost a lot of money, you love Qing's body"

As soon as Emperor Wanli entered the house, he first walked to Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, helped him up, and asked for warmth, this move made everyone sigh in their hearts, Lord Shoufu is Lord Shoufu, and no one can compare with the status in His Majesty's heart!

"Your Majesty is worried about the ministers, and the ministers are afraid."

Zhang Juzheng thanked him a few words, Feng Bao, who was following the emperor, looked up at Emperor Wanli, he felt that something was wrong, although Emperor Wanli's attitude towards Zhang Juzheng was kind, it made people feel a little alienated, if it was before, Emperor Wanli would never have a smile on his face.

He is so disgusted with every course, he would rather be strict with Zhang Juzheng to come back a few days later, and now he comes back, which means that his life is not so free, how can he be happy, and because Zhang Juzheng is not an outsider, Emperor Wanli will not hide his feelings.

But now, the little emperor of Wanli said it properly, and his attitude was kind, but Feng Bao always felt that the meaning inside was not so intimate.

There was a little doubt in his heart, but seeing that Emperor Wanli helped Zhang Juzheng up, he had been talking with a smile on his face, Feng Bao also felt that he was too careful, the emperor was not a child, he was growing up, and his behavior was becoming more and more mature.

With a smile on his face, the little emperor of Wanli said that a banquet would be set up in the palace at noon to wash the dust for Zhang Shoufu, and then Zhang Juzheng would thank him again.

Li Chengliang, the chief military officer of Liaozhen, asked the imperial court to allocate food and salary, prepare for military training, and prepare to launch another attack on the Tatar Taining Department at the turn of autumn and winter, so as to completely wipe out this thief who had been harassing the border for many years. Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Jizhen Town, requested that the people be recruited in Yongping Mansion and Hejian Mansion to repair the border walls and fortresses of Jizhen Town.

This is all under the jurisdiction of Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, one by one, after speaking, Zhang Juzheng was silent at first, and then turned to Ma Ziqiang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and asked:

"Is there plenty of money and food in the treasury?"

When asked about this, the Tobe Shangshu Ma, who is also a university scholar, replied loudly:

"There are still four million taels of silver in the treasury, which are all the work of Your Majesty Shengming, the old pavilion and the old Qing Zhang, and the treasury will never be worry-free!!"

He is about to be sixty years old, but he is full of anger when he speaks, Ma Ziqiang said that the treasury is secondary, and the heavy flattery of Zhang Juzheng is the point.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, only this Ma Ziqiang has entered the cabinet in Guanzhong, and it seems that he can get to this position also has his reason, the official dialect of the Guanzhong accent was spoken aloud, and everyone in the room was stunned, and then everyone echoed a few words, nothing more than praising His Majesty Shengming, the old man of the pavilion is wise.

Zhang Juzheng showed a slight smile on his face, turned his head and said to Zhang Siwei:

"Your Majesty, Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang are both generals, they are doing things safely, and the Taining Department is already at the end of the road, and the Ministry of Answers is against the peace and discussion, and it is also necessary to deal with it, Your Majesty, can Ziwei take the lead in this matter, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households will check it together, calculate the number, and then put the silver down?"

Although he was consulting Emperor Wanli's opinion, he had already made up his mind about everything, and Emperor Wanli nodded with a smile and said:

"What Mr. Zhang thinks about is that after the cabinet vote is drafted, Feng Daban's side will approve it!"

Feng Bao, who was standing on the side, answered, and Zhang Siwei took out another fold there, and said:

"Ling Yunyi, the governor of Guangdong, wrote a letter, saying that he didn't know whether it was appropriate to be negligent in this matter, and asked the ministers to discuss the matter in the court, and if there was any permission to believe him, he would be negligent."

Emperor Wanli nodded, but Zhang Siwei still saw Zhang Juzheng's chin nodding, so he stepped forward and said:

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Dong'an Counselor General Chen Lan mentioned many times that the Francophile rented the land of Macao in the Ming Dynasty, but he did not feel at ease in Macao, but built a wall, accumulated firearms, and colluded with Fujian pirates to do many illegal things, although the number is less than 20,000, but it is not my race, and there should be precautions, but the ships of the Guangdong Navy Division are old and unbearable for the war, so I asked the imperial court to allocate silver to repair the ships and prepare the sailors."

Zhang Juzheng groaned, stroked his long beard with his hand, and said:

"Chen Luan, Tan Zili has talked about it many times, saying that this person is proficient in the art of war, especially good at naval warfare, and he should have a reason to talk about this matter, what do you think?"

Having said that, that is, Zhang Juzheng didn't have an idea, and wanted to ask everyone's opinions, several people looked at each other, and Ma Ziqiang said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the ministers of Macao have also heard, saying that the truth is only thousands, of which the young and strong are three thousand, this point is mostly traders and sailors, what can be done, Fujian and Guangdong soldiers and horses more than 200,000, and hundreds of warships, really have to do something, it can be leveled in an instant, although the treasury is abundant, but also to live within your means, the border town is an important place, the harbor is not a small trouble, you can rectify the sailors, build warships, there is no million taels where can be, although the trouble of the Japanese has been calmed, but there are many warships built at that time, and the sailors and soldiers and horses are all elites who have been on the battlefield, Why bother to put up a house on the house, this Chen Shen will inevitably have a heavier mind to seek merit, according to the minister's view, Guangdong and Fujian provinces are careful and vigilant, that is. ”

Everyone nodded, why bother to have more rights and wrongs, Guangdong Province and Macao are poor and evil places, and the Francophone people rent it, and it is up to him, this Chen Lan's Dong'an Counselor is in charge of land, and has nothing to do with maritime affairs, and he asked Ling Yunyi, the governor of Guangdong, to write this letter, thinking that it is to ask for merit in war, it is really an ignorant martial artist, don't you know, don't you know that you have to die if you use a knife, and it is needless to say that the court spends money.

"Your Majesty, why don't you make a decree to let Guangdong be vigilant and not slacken, what does Your Majesty mean?"

"What Mr. Zhang said makes sense, so let's do it."

"Your Majesty, the recital and excerpts of the official have been submitted to the Chief of Ceremonies, I don't know what Your Majesty's holy will is?"
