From the head of the cabinet who holds the power of life and death, to the old minister of Zhishi, Xu Jie can still be stable on the surface, but he has long been resentful in his heart, and he can't wait to pull out a few enemies and cut them one by one, Tang Yi is naturally second to none. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, I can only think about it in my heart, but it does not prevent Lao Xu Jie's from leaving a few nails, first, it can disgust Tang Yi, and secondly, it can ensure his safety after going into the wild, Zhang Juzheng is the most important chess piece among them.

"Tang Yi's son is calculating deeply and his methods are clever, and the old man has never met such a strong junior in decades. Take the traffic line as an example, more than ten years ago, he was not yet 20 years old, he founded the traffic line, and now the southeast half of the wall, the circulation of wealth, all in the palm of his hand, there are hundreds of thousands of villagers, when it comes to the background, Tang Yi is not weaker than the Jin Party, and the momentum is even more rapid. ”

Zhang Juzheng listened humbly, in fact, he was already familiar with these things, knew himself and his opponent, and was invincible in a hundred battles, five years of hard work, in addition to governing Leizhou, was to ponder the opponent, and the Zhang family was a big family in Huguang, and the business was very good, and he had some understanding of Tang Yi's strength.

However, Zhang Juzheng has long learned not to shake the little wit easily, not to mention that Lao Xu's words have a taste of trusting orphans, an old-timer who has been an official longer than his own life, he definitely has something extraordinary, and it is worth listening carefully.

"Alas, it's a shame to say, the old man should have started early, but Tang Yi and the gentry in the southeast, as well as the heart and learning are tied together, you have me, I have you, the old man didn't start for a long time, but he suffered from it, Taiyue, don't you learn to be a teacher!"

Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly: "Master, now that Tang Yi has become a general trend, the prestige of the saint is far above the disciple, I am afraid that the disciple should be careful, I am afraid that he will not be able to tolerate me." ”

"Wrong!" Xu Jie shook his head, "Taiyue, you are the teacher of today's saint, Tang Yi wants to deal with you, it is not so easy, not to mention that the old man's men will still help you, Zhu Heng, Yang Jisheng, Li Youzi, Ma Sen, Zhao Bingran, etc., these people will also help you, as long as you form a group, no one can move you!" ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded, but he was still full of worries, he came back this time, and he really intended to swallow the Xu Party, but he never imagined that the prestige Xu Ge Lao would be so fast, and he was caught off guard, he didn't have time to digest many forces.

Besides, Xu Jie's in Japan, these people are loyal, Xu Jie's retreat, they also have to find a way for themselves, will they be single-minded and assist Zhang Juzheng, it is really a huge question mark!

Don't talk about others, Yang Jisheng and the Tang family's father and son are very close, and there is a life-saving grace, he is thinking of the friendship between teachers and students, so he stands on the side of Xu Gelao, Zhang Juzheng and him only have the same year, can they beat others?

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was in low spirits, he hesitated.

Xu Jie's face sank, "Taiyue, the teacher has high hopes for you, but you are so depressed, how can the teacher rest assured!" ”

Zhang Juzheng's face turned red, and he said helplessly: "The master taught the disciple to keep it in mind, but the time and place are favorable, and they are all in Tang Yi's hands, he wants to get rid of the disciple, and between the palms, the disciple is really ......."

"You still haven't figured it out!" Xu Jie shook his head and lamented: "Taiyue, do you know why the old man was defeated? ”

This question is not easy to answer, Zhang Juzheng was stunned, but Xu Jie gave the answer himself.

"Because of the Holy Family! Alas, it's not clear that the teacher is not clear, and if you connive at the official, you will offend Your Majesty, but these people have followed the teacher for many years, respecting the old man with the courtesy of the teacher, and they can't help but protect it, and as a result, they will be annoyed by Your Majesty. The position of Shoufu seems to be the heaviest authority, but in fact she is just a daughter-in-law, she has to take care of her in-laws upwards, and downward, she has to take care of her children and grandchildren, difficult, difficult! ”

Zhang Juzheng is so smart, from Xu Jie's words, he quickly tasted the taste.

"Senior Minister, are you saying that Tang Yi will also confront His Majesty? But he's cunning and long-sleeved, so I'm afraid he won't be stupid! ”

"Sitting in that position, is it up to him?" Xu Jie smiled contemptuously, not without mockery, "Tang Yi has accumulated so many forces, but in front of the imperial power, it is useless at all!" At present, it is far from the end of the world, the imperial power is above, and it is unattainable! As long as Taiyue can firmly grasp His Majesty and let His Majesty do not do without you, Tang Yi will not be able to move you, and you must not only catch the Saint, but also the Prince, so that you can be stable. When you have a firm foothold, you might as well learn Tang Yi's methods, come to a similar concoction, and push him to conflict with His Majesty. ”

"And what if he doesn't go?"

Xu Jie raised his head and suddenly smiled, "Then he only has to learn strictly, or a dead end!" ”

Zhang Juzheng was shocked, seeing him change his face and color, Xu Jie was finally relieved, silly boy, not stupid!

"When the great grandfather abolished the prime minister, I thought that the world's major affairs would be controlled in the hands of the emperor, but who knew that the prime minister would be reborn through the cabinet, and it would be more powerful than before. As the first assistant, shouldering the hope of the world, he must take care of the emperor's lackeys and manage his minions well, so as not to overflow the imperial power. Everyone in the world says that Yan Fenyi and Xu Huating are the same dog, and they are both insatiable and despicable villains. Some of them may be right, but the old man and Yan Song are definitely different! ”

Xu Jie's beard was all at once, and he said sharply: "Yan Song has forgotten the duty of the first assistant, and he is bent on flattering, like a slave of the first emperor." As the first assistant, although the old man inevitably caters to the emperor, he strictly abides by his duties, suppresses the eunuchs, advises the king, and does not dare to have the slightest neglect, and asks himself, Tang Yi may not be as good as the old man! ”

People say that Xu Jie's yin is heavy, if it weren't for the sudden Zhishi, he would never say such excessive words.

However, Xu Jie also named one of the most important issues.

The Ming Dynasty has experienced two hundred years, and the imperial power has derived a huge group, including the clan, the inner court eunuch, the brocade guard, the nobles, and the relatives; And the vassal power also evolved into the gentry merchant group, which was also strong.

The distribution of resources between the two sides to the imperial court was almost irreconcilable.

There are only two kinds of Shoufu, one is like Yan Song, who sits in the arms of the imperial power, acts as the emperor's slave and lackey, and is finally spurned by the gentry group.

The second is that Xu Jie, who adopts various means to confront the emperor and safeguard the interests of the gentry group, and the result is that he is rejected by the imperial power.

Either way, it doesn't look like it's going to turn out very well.

According to Xu Jie's design, it is nothing more than forcing Tang Yi to embark on one of these paths, and then pushing him hard, so that he can also taste failure.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng thinks a little more, if he achieves the position of the first assistant, what should he do, can he avoid these two results?

After a slight shake of his head, Xu Jie sighed again.

"Taiyue, the old man has taught you everything he can teach you, with your talent, you are ten times better than the old man, you can rest assured. It's just that after the old man goes, it's hard to guarantee that someone will attack the old man's family, those boys are really unscrupulous! ”

"Rest assured!" Zhang Juzheng did not hesitate, patted his chest and said: "As long as the disciples are three inches of energy, they will definitely protect a few senior brothers." ”

Xu Jie nodded with satisfaction, "Since that's the case, thank you Taiyue!" ”

Saying that, Xu Jie bowed deeply, and Zhang Juzheng was so startled that he hurriedly knelt down and burst into tears.

"The teacher's kindness is like a mountain and the sea, and the disciple's liver and brain are all over the ground, and he can't repay the teacher!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed three more times, and the master and apprentice hugged each other and cried loudly.

……

The taste of power is so wonderful, and the loss of power is so painful.

Even if it is as deep as Xu Steps, it cannot be calm.

It's just that there is no way to undo everything, on the sixteenth day of the first month, the first will of the New Year of Longqing, is to approve Xu Jie's resignation, in order to avoid a long night, Longqing summoned Xu Jie, rewarded the treasure of grace, and sent a brocade guard to escort south.

After meeting Longqing, Xu Jie didn't say much about his stay or stay, but only suggested to His Majesty the Emperor that Li Chunfang was not the first assistant, and the cabinet was not a blessing for the country, and asked His Majesty to immediately increase the number of cabinet members and supplement manpower to prevent state chaos.

Frankly speaking, Xu Jie's statement is very eye-catching, which not only reflects his concern for the country and the people, but also expresses his indifference to fame and fortune and does not care about personal gains and losses.

In an instant, Long Qing even wanted to keep the old man and let him continue to carry the burden of Da Ming, but in a flash, Long Qing gave up the idea, and finally drove the old man away, how could he be stupid!

Long Qing immediately accepted Xu Jie's suggestion, and gave him a young master and a young master to return to his hometown from a first-class master.

Xu Jie's forty-five years of Huan Hai career has finally come to an end. Although the ministers tried their best to keep it, Longqing had made up his mind, Xu Jie was tired of fighting, and the old and the new were alternated, and it was inevitable that it would come.

"Alas, Xu Ge is really a master!" Wang Yin sighed, "He retreated beautifully, without the slightest drag, so the adults are in a disadvantageous position." ”

"How come, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the prince of the imperial court, it is logical for the lord to enter the cabinet, who can stop the lord?"

"Neither nor not!"

Wang Yin shook his head, "Juzhang, if you use your brains more, even if Xu Jie is here, you can't stop the adult." The pass is a huge Xu Party, who should have the final say! Zhang Juzheng forced Xu Jie, and proposed to investigate the Dao, won the emperor's heart, if he and the adult into the cabinet together, in the eyes of the world, he has the strength to compete with the adult, those Xu Party people will be attached to Zhang Juzheng's door. ”

"Zhang Juzheng's talent is not weak, he takes the lead, and Xu Jie is remotely controlled behind his back, which is equivalent to expelling Xu Jie in vain and doing useless work."

Mao Kun said with a calm face: "It's not just that, the Jin Party moves frequently, according to my estimate, Yang Bo wants to fish in troubled waters and push Zhang Siwei in." ”

"Zhang Siwei? He is just a Jinshi in the thirty-second year of Jiajing, what qualifications does he have to enter the cabinet? Shen Mingchen asked unconvinced.

"Which subject are we?"

In a word, Shen Mingchen is speechless, Tang Yi is one subject later than Zhang Siwei, although he became famous early and has a big official position, but his qualifications are shallow, this is a fact that no one can change.

If you enter the cabinet with Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei and others, invisibly, Tang Yi's status will be pulled down, and then the high arch will be operated back, and the second Zhang promised to abdicate and make way for Xian, what can Tang Yi do, everyone enters the cabinet in one day, you are shallower than others! The high arch crosses the crowd and goes straight to the first assistant, and it becomes logical.

is worthy of Xu Jie, even if he retreats, he will still leave Tang Yi with a difficult game, how to break it? (To be continued.) )
