Wanli Xinming

Chapter 321 Starfall ([-])

In the political affairs hall, Zhang Siwei was a little embarrassed because of Wang Guoguang's sudden outburst.Zhang Juzheng had a faint smile on his face, as if he was looking at two urchins who were fighting with red faces.

Zhang Siwei's thoughts changed, and then he realized that he did something bad: it is no secret that Zhang Juzheng is seriously ill. Although Chen Shigong is waiting for him, but not answering directly is an answer in itself.

In this case, you should do things honestly, and don't talk and wait for promotion is the correct way to deal with it, why do you have to perform on the pole!Wang Guoguang entered the pavilion earlier than his own. In terms of seniority, he was Zhang Juzheng's natural successor-even if he had no intention of competing with himself as the prime minister, he couldn't tolerate him seeing him as someone who could talk to him!

Wanting to understand this section, Zhang Siwei was no longer resentful, took a step back and stopped talking.Wang Guoguang secretly said in his heart: "Mr. Zhang has not let go, just slap his nose and face like this, he is really selfish and narrow-minded, but he will bully me, wait for the next life."

Zhang Juzheng didn't seem to hear the little quarrel between the two, and smiled: "Bugu's body is heavy, I'm afraid there will be no time." Seeing a few people open their mouths to comfort him, he hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "The political affairs hall is heavy, After Mr. Gan’an passed away the year before, because the old man wanted to be brave, he never made any supplements.”

"The day before yesterday, the emperor wrote the imperial decree together with me, and ordered to form a cabinet again. I also know very well what the emperor wants, but it is nothing but the worry of the death of the people."

After saying this, Zhang Siwei and Wang Guoguang remained silent.Pan Sheng's lips moved slightly, but he hesitated.Zhang Juzheng had a smile on his face, looked at Pan Sheng and said, "What did Mr. Shui Lian say?"

Pan Sheng said: "Does the emperor have a preference? How many people are there?"

Wang Guoguang interjected: "Sacred Heart's silent Shen Shixing is one, right?" He glanced at Zhang Siwei again: "Or else I can't take it to Saihanba, I don't know about the others."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "The so-called cabinet bachelor, the deputy minister, the emperor said that six to eight people are good, at least it will be too complicated to support; if it is too many, the decision-making will be slow, - now there are four people in the political affairs hall, and two more to be added. Four."

Zhang Siwei's face changed slightly, and he smiled dryly: "Old gentleman can make a decision. Are there still people who are unwilling to enter the cabinet?"

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Even if Bugu can live for a few more years, this body will be begging for bones."

After he finished speaking, his face flushed and said: "Therefore, Fugu discussed with the emperor, each of our current political affairs hall cabinet members proposes two candidates, and after forming a list, please invite the holy judge - now go back to the room and write the name of the person you like. , leave it to me."

"Above the second grade of the imperial court, all of them are recommended - well, there are still a bunch of people in Nanjing, don't forget."

When Zhang Juzheng said it, it was like a shock to the sky, and Zhang Siwei was caught off guard.

Over the years, he has long regarded himself as the prime minister of course. After Zhang Juzheng stepped down as the prime minister, Zhang Ziwei did his part.

However, the current move to elect a new cabinet member in the Political Affairs Hall has become a test question before he takes over: if Zhang Siwei is elected with a public heart, today's events will inevitably become a thorn in the heart of his basic Jin Party; but if he is elected in the Jin Party— -For example, there are Wang Chonggu, Yang Junmin, Zheng Luo and others who are qualified - Zhang Juzheng is still waiting for him "invite the Holy Judge", then stealing chickens will not be a loss of rice. , Pan Sheng and the two are fighting against it!
Zhang Siwei looked at Zhang Juzheng, who was old because of illness and weakness, and thought to himself that this question must come from Zhang Juzheng—the emperor is getting more and more mature, and now as long as he has a decree, he may not be willing to do this old-fashioned act.

In his own signing room, Zhang Siwei wished he could pull his hair off: the so-called "Jin Party" is now centered on Vice Chancellor Zhang Siwei, Wang Chonggu's deputy minister, and Yang Bo's family, including his in-laws and the old days. Governor Sun Guanghu, Governor Gao Guangxian of Jiliao, etc., are not powerful enough to support a prime minister. After reaching the top of the ministers, if there is no response in the political affairs hall, compared with Pan Sheng, it is likely to be difficult to speak alone.

Because the Jin Party is based on benefits and is linked by in-laws and fellow villagers, it has a huge disadvantage compared with the "Chu Party" that controls the court today: Although the Chu Party is called "Chu", its main members are inclusive, such as Liang Menglong and Ling Yunyi. , Yin Zhengmao, Qi Jiguang and others were all promoted by Zhang Juzheng, and people's hearts have long been condensed; other people such as Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping, Shen Li, Yu Youding, etc., are the so-called "master" disciples, the prefectures of the world, in a broad sense The Chu Party is half of them—and this suffocating force, after Zhang Juzheng's death, is likely to fall into the hands of Pan Sheng in the political affairs hall!
Ma Ziqiang this sick bastard!Zhang Siwei cursed secretly.In the sixth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng quoted Ma Ziqiang and Pan Sheng to join the cabinet. Pan Sheng was definitely "Zhang Dang", while Ma Ziqiang was Zhang Siwei's in-law - Zhang Juzheng consciously stood in the perspective of reassuring the emperor to do this. The matter is very open and bright. Anyway, whether it is Ma Ziqiang or Niu Ziqiang, the old gentleman can hold it down.

Regrettably, Ma Ziqiang began to linger on the bed after two years of work, and then he fell ill, and Zhang Siwei lost a lot of help.Nowadays, the second-rank officials in the dynasties who are expected to enter the cabinet are all Zhang Dang: Shen Shixing, the Minister of Rites, needless to say, it should not be a coincidence that Ling Yunyi returned to Beijing to report his duties; , as well as Liu Yingjie, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Wang Zongmu, who abolished the canal to the sea, and Pan Jixun, who was in charge of the world's water conservancy.
This list can be drawn very long, including Wang Jiaping, who is far away in Europa, who is also called the "Master" of the old gentleman in the next room. When he returns, it is also expected that the minister of promotion will finally enter the political affairs hall.

Wang Guoguang, this idiot!He clearly belonged to Jin, and his father was also a great man, but he has not been linked with Yang, Wang, and Zhang since he stepped into the officialdom, and even Wang Chonggu couldn't understand what was going on with this fellow.If Wang Guoguang and the Jin Party are in the same spirit, is it worth fighting over the style issues he committed?
Zhang Siwei thought bitterly that this guy has caught up with the master of the Ming Dynasty - the emperor's reforms just need financial technocrats.Otherwise, Wang Guoguang wouldn't even think about joining the pavilion in his life, let alone standing in front of him.

And who is this guy?Wang Chonggu is getting old, and Yang Bo's eldest son, Yang Junmin, has just entered the second rank - it is too ugly to enter the pavilion to eat in a hurry, and it is easy to be slapped in the face by Zhang Juzheng before leaving.And Wang Chonggu is his uncle. If he is allowed to enter the cabinet, who will listen to the other?

In recent years, Zheng Luo, the minister of military affairs and the minister stationed in Monan Mongolia, has cited Zhang Siwei as the aid of the DPRK and the Central Olympics, which echoes the Jin Party. Great achievements, Zheng Luo and others must completely pluck the fruit of victory. This belongs to the emperor to feed to his mouth. If Zhang Siwei is lost, he does not need to be the prime minister. It is better to find a piece of tofu and kill him.

When his fingers were about to be broken, Zhang Siwei realized that the three words "Zhang Juzheng" represented what an astonishing behemoth. Compared with him, he was like a firefly and a bright moon!
And such a mountain is about to collapse. The scary thing is that I am not ready before this mountain collapses!
At this moment, Zhang Siwei wanted to slap himself: what have he been doing all these years? !Uncle is not idle, but this list is coming soon, so I can't send someone to ask, do I still want my face?

Zhang Siwei was once highly regarded by Gao Gong for being "suave, intelligent, and well-versed in practical matters". However, in the year Gao Gong was expelled, he ran back to Shanxi to "recuperate", resulting in the "Henan Party" left by Gao Gong without a leader. Later, almost all surrendered to Zhang Juzheng.

Now that I think about it, this is exactly what the emperor said about "destiny by nature". The "Jin Party" is not big because it has a small structure, no ideas, and no political platform. However, it is a group that naturally formed to keep warm under the situation of the "Chu Party".After all, if the core circle of the Chu Party cannot enter, the political resources allocated to the periphery are limited, and it is better to form a faction of its own.

Thinking of this, Zhang Siwei suddenly had an inspiration.Where did the Korean Central Party come from?The so-called Chu Party, Jin Party, Scholar Party, Colonial Party, Reform Party, and Conservative Party are not all "born from the heart"?And where does the "heart" belong?

Holy Family!It turned out that after thinking about it for a long time, I was thinking blindly, no matter whether you are a civilian party, a privy party, a eunuch party or a regional party, can you be worthy of a blow from the emperor?

And who is the so-called "Chu Party", which will soon be headless, who can be favored by the saints?Pan Sheng or Shen Shixing?If the two saints are not as good as you or the two of them are equally equal - what is your fear?
Zhang Siwei solemnly picked up a note and wrote down two names, as if he had been empowered.Well, the two tigers are fighting - how is the Three Kingdoms confronting each other?
