Chapter Eighty-Eight: Be Nice to Your Cousin (Happy New Year)

Xie Jin's statement made Xu Jingchang very satisfied, and even a little unexpectedly happy...... He really hated the complicated government affairs of the General Administration, but he didn't want to give up the authority that was so easy to obtain.

It seems to be a very contradictory thing, but with Xie Jin's salted fish turning over, Xu Jingchang saw the perfect solution.

Supporting Xie Jin to take over as the political envoy, he has the ability and talent to be promoted to this position.

But he is arrogant and arrogant, and his foundation is shallow, so he must rely on Xu Jingchang's strength to secure the position of political envoy. In this way, Xu Jingchang can retreat into the background and control the situation remotely.

The benefits belong to me, and the risks are yours.

It was just perfect!

By the way, how is this operation a little familiar?

Yao Guangxiao, the old thief bald encouraged Xu Jingchang to come out to connect with the political envoy last year, isn't this what he had in mind?

But it's a pity that Xu Jingchang is even more deceitful than he imagined, and he has not become the puppet of the old monk, on the contrary, he is now actively arranged, and he has the potential to withdraw and regress and evolve into a great demon king.

"Xu Tongzheng, take the liberty of asking, if you come down, who else will take over as the envoy?" Xie Jin's heart was in his throat, if a stronger character came out, his chances were too slim.

The time for him to re-enter the court is too short, and it is not long for him to be promoted to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he has no qualifications, he has no prestige, and there are few people in the court who can really respect him.

How could such an important position as a political envoy fall on his head?

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Bachelor Xie, if you want me to say, I really can't find a more suitable candidate, you just have to rest assured." ”

Xie Jin was surprised, no matter how he measured it, he couldn't do it, why did Xu Jingchang swear again? He couldn't figure it out for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask more.

I'm afraid that I won't ask this great thing.

In this way, Xie Jin was worried and uneasy, even when he was in the office, he often wandered, and the big guy thought he was sick, Yang Pu and Huang Huai asked privately, do you need to rest for a few days?

Xie Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, if I go home now, wouldn't the political envoy fly?

Xie Jin had no choice but to force his composure, "I'm really not feeling well, but there are only a few of us left in the cabinet, and it's not good for me to hide at home." Only gritted teeth to hold on. Now that there are so many government affairs, I also heard that the Jingcha of the Ministry of Officials has also reached a critical moment, in case I am given an inferior evaluation, I am afraid that the career of this life will be over. ”

mentioned Jingcha, Yang Pu got some news.

"I heard that Jian Tianguan and the Inspectorate are together to assess hundreds of officials, and the yamen of each ministry are not bad...... It's hard to say who will be angry in the end. ”

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this Jingcha and Xu Jingchang were going to resign, and there was a slight relationship, and he couldn't help but be curious: "How to assess hundreds of officials, there are already rules, just do it according to the rules, what's the difficulty?" ”

Yang Pu smiled: "It's a little funny to talk about this...... This is not the time for the Chinese New Year, Xu Tongzheng is in the prison, forcing the various yamen to hand in the annual strategy, which can be regarded as a military order...... Up to now, the treasury income has risen by three percent, the Ministry of Industry has also repaired the construction of the main hall, the Criminal Department has punished corrupt officials, the Ministry of Officials has recommended talents, and even the Ministry of Rites has presided over the imperial examination, providing many talents to the imperial court. After all the calculations, only the General Administration Department has not made any achievements, if you have to take out a high-ranking official, it can only be Xu Tongzheng. ”

Xie Jin almost laughed, "Let's stop joking, okay?" Xu Tongzheng: He has not made achievements? At present, the General Secretary is so fierce and has authority, isn't it his credit? Also, Xu Tongzheng collapsed the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, rectified finance and taxation, and increased treasury revenue, including the recent fall of Li Zhigang, didn't he also do it? If you want me to say, the six parts combined, none of them can be tossed by him. ”

At this time, Huang Huai also came in and said with a smile: "This is true, but it is not in his position to seek his own government, and punishing corrupt officials can only be regarded as Xu Tongzheng's own credit, but not the credit of the General Administration." As for the collection of commercial taxes, Xu Tongzheng's credit is really not much, because when it comes to enriching the treasury, it actually relies on treasure money, and the treasure money bureau is hung in the household department, and this credit must be counted on Xia Shangshu's head...... Counting it, Xu Tongzheng made a wedding dress for others! ”

When Xie Jin heard this, he also felt ridiculous...... Xu Jingchang, who has done the most things, was taken down in Jingcha because of his inaction, how to listen to this thing, how ridiculous.

But to a large extent, it will become a reality again.

And he doesn't seem to be able to succeed Xu Jingchang, maybe he can really succeed in becoming a political envoy.

Isn't it ridiculous?

But it seems that this is the court situation!

Xie Jin sighed secretly, but he could only restrain his edge and be honest, for fear that something would go wrong.

There has never been a secret in the court, the undercurrent of Jingcha is surging, and Hu Yan also got the news, he was shocked when he heard that Xu Jingchang might be taken.

Because he knows it well. Zhu Gaochi's ability to successfully become the prince is inseparable from Xu Jingchang's contribution.

Now there are six ministries and nine qing, and the only person the prince can rely on is Xu Jingchang.

At this time, Xu Tongzheng, who has great magical powers, knows what will happen?

He hurriedly came to see Zhu Gaochi and told Zhu Gaochi the news.

Zhu Da Fat, who got the news, was also frightened, what are you kidding, there is no one in the court, and Xu Jingchang can't be gone!

He hurried over, but found that Xu Jingchang was still by the fish pond, taking a fishing rod, and the old god was there.

"I said, cousin, have you heard of it? Someone wants to take the position of political envoy? ”

Xu Jingchang laughed, "What His Highness knows, how could I not know." ”

"So, then what can you do about it?"

"How? What's the solution? There is no place to stay here. It's a big deal. I just happened to listen to music and fishing, and I was a rich idler, isn't it good? ”

Zhu Gaochi's face changed suddenly, and he was stunned for a long time, and then he came to Xu Jingchang, reached out and grabbed Xu Jingchang's wrist, but did not speak, tears welled up.

"Brother Xian, my good brother, you have helped me so much these days, so that I can sit on the throne of the crown prince, if you come down from the position of the political envoy, who will shelter me from the wind and rain? Brother Xian, no matter what, you can't give up this position. Even if it's for our Ming Dynasty, I beg you. ”

Xu Jingchang was given goosebumps by these words, "I said Your Highness, I am terrified when you talk like this." Instead of worrying about no one to shelter you from the elements, you should worry about your body...... How's it going, have you eaten less in the past two days? ”

"Nope." Zhu Gaochi said simply: "Brother Xian, you don't know, it's been so long, I've gotten used to it, if you don't eat good things, that's a crime!" ”

Xu Jingchang looked at him, and then reached out and slapped Zhu Gaochi twice on the back of the neck, all of which were fat, and they all bulged up huge rich bags.

"Okay, just as I'm going to get out, from today onwards, I'll lead you to lose weight...... Within a year, fifty pounds of weight must be lost. ”

"Fifty pounds? Isn't it too much? Brother Xian, you must know that these fat men are loyal, and they have followed me for so many years, even their wives and children are not loyal to them, so how can you bear to abandon them? ”

Xu Jingchang snorted coldly at him, "What nonsense, hurry up around the fish pond and run for me." ”

Xu Jingchang picked up the purple bamboo fishing rod, stopped fishing, and turned into a whip that whipped Zhu Gaochi...... He followed behind, and Zhu Da Fat ran in front, a little slower, and the big fat man's ass was hit for a while.

"Brother Xian, I'm also the prince of the Ming Dynasty, can you give me some face?"

Xu Jingchang smiled: "You want face? Do you want a satoko? A fat body, how can you dominate the world? Stop talking nonsense, run for me! ”

Xu Jingchang urged behind him, forcing Zhu Gaochi to run for half an hour, he was panting, sweating, and rumbling in his stomach.

It was almost noon, and Xu Jingchang finally showed kindness and asked Zhu Gaochi to stop.

"Your Highness, it's time to eat."

"Eat?" Zhu Gaochi looked up to the sky and sighed, "These two words are so kind, they are closer than their own father and mother...... Hurry up, I'm going to eat sweet and sour carp, crab roe lion head, by the way, especially lion head, get me twenty! ”

Xu Jingchang doesn't care what Zhu Gaochi shouts, he still wants to eat a lion's head? Dream on!

A moment later, all that was placed in front of Zhu Gaochi was a bowl of brown rice, a bowl of wild vegetable soup, and a plate of steamed yams.

Seeing these things, Zhu Gaochi walked directly outside.

"I want to go back to the East Palace, you are bullying me! A meal, not even a little oil and water, you can bear it? If you treat a big fat man like this, you will go to eighteen layers of hell. ”

Facing Zhu Gaochi's curse, Xu Jingchang turned around and took a jar of small grinding sesame oil.

I saw Xu Jingchang take out another copper coin, tie it with a thin silk thread, and sink it into the jar.

When he lifted the copper coin, dipped it in a little sesame oil, and then put in the wild vegetable soup, and finally, on top of the vegetable soup, a few drops of sesame oil were floated.

"It's okay, Your Highness, eat quickly."

Zhu Gaochi stared at the pitiful drops of sesame oil, and his eyes were about to fall out.

"Xu Jingchang, I kind of understand, no wonder so many people want to kick you out of the court, you are so hateful!" Zhu Da Fat Man sighed.

Xu Jingchang laughed happily, "Thanks to the praise, I will continue to work hard." ”

Zhu Gaochi wailed, so he could only bury his head and take revenge.

When people are hungry, everything is delicious.

Brown rice, wild vegetable soup, and a plate of steamed yam all stuffed Zhu Gaochi into his stomach.

It's just that this little thing is less than half of the usual.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Xu Jingchang pitifully, "Brother Xian, can you give a little more, I beg you, okay?" ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, turned around and brought an empty basin from outside.

"Your Highness, this is full of the northwest wind that has just been in full bloom, please enjoy it."

Zhu Gaochi stared at the empty basin and suddenly let out a wail.

"Xu Jingchang, you will go to the eighteenth layer of hell!"

At this moment, someone suddenly coughed outside the door, "Prince, what did you say?" I didn't hear it. ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly raised his head, only to see the old lady Queen Xu walking in from outside, still holding Zhu Zhanji in her hand. Zhu Gaochi was suddenly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Queen Mother, the child didn't say anything, didn't say anything!"

Empress Xu had a cold face, "Forgive me and don't dare, listen to me, be nice to your cousin, or I'll slap you in the mouth." ”

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
