Mingshi

Chapter 1538
And he knew very well in his heart that with Luo Xin's rising momentum, as long as Xu Jie didn't get him out of the capital, he would surely overtake him, it was only a matter of time.Therefore, he calmly said to Luo Xin:
"Lord Luo, as long as you can solve the problems of the southern war and the Shibo Division, I will willingly sit at your subordinate's head."

"Master Yan, you..."

"That's it!" Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said, "Master Luo, I will leave this matter to you. When will you leave?"

"Huh?" Luo Xin opened his mouth in surprise.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie said, "What if Master Luo can't solve it?"

"If it can't be solved, you and Gao Shi will find a solution for me, otherwise, what's the use of you two first and second assistants?" Emperor Longqing said angrily.

Xu Jie's old face was flushed, but his cheeks had already been practiced.Insist on opening the mouth and saying:

"Your Majesty, if you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. If you have done something wrong, you will be punished. This is only fair. The old minister suggested that if Luo Xin cannot solve the southern problem perfectly, his position in the cabinet will be lowered."

"Hehe..." Luo Xin laughed twice and said, "I think the current seat is very good. Why don't Master Xu go to the south? Or Master Zhang?"

Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng really wanted to say "I will go", but this is not a question of attitude, but a question of ability.

Go, can you solve the problem?
So, he was depressed.However, he still insisted: "Fairness and justice are the foundation of governing the country."

Emperor Longqing's face sank like water, Luo Xin looked at Emperor Longqing and felt that the heat was almost ready, so he said:

"Okay, if I can't solve the problem in the south, I will change seats with Taiyue."

Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat, could Luo Xin really have a solution?
"Master Luo, I didn't misread you, you really have a way."

"Is there any way?" Luo Xin said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are trying to drive ducks to the shelves. I can only think hard."

"As long as you think about it, there must be a way." Emperor Longqing said with a smile on his face, "Is three days enough? Are you going to leave for the south after three days?"

"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded.

Emperor Longqing glanced at the crowd and said: "Since Master Luo has already started to solve the southern war and the shipping affairs, the remaining northern war and mutual market affairs, as well as the money shortage, are up to you to come up with a solution."

After the words fell, Emperor Longqing got up and left.

Cabinet meetings continued until noon.Haven't come up with a workable solution either.Xu Jie dismissed the meeting and asked everyone to go back and think about it, and continue the meeting tomorrow.

This time Zhang Juzheng did not go with Xu Jie, but returned to the guard room with Luo Xin, the two sat opposite each other, neither of them looked at the copywriting.Holding a cup of tea each, they looked a little absent-minded there.

The faces of the two people are not very good-looking. In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin are both young people. At such an age, they have already entered the cabinet and become a bachelor. It is really proud of themselves.However, both of them knew their own affairs, and both fell into a quagmire of distress.

After a while, Zhang Juzheng raised his head and spoke first, "Lord Luo, do you really have a way to get the best of both worlds?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "The situation is ever-changing, how can there be a perfect solution? We can only take one step at a time. But..."

Luo Xin glanced at Zhang Juzheng and said: "Taiyue, your mood is not as calm as before, and you are a little worried."

Zhang Juzheng picked up his teacup and took a sip, trying to hide his emotions, but in the end he said dejectedly:

"Many things are beyond my control."

Luo Xin shook his head with a smile, a hint of disapproval appeared in his eyes.

Looking at Luo Xin's slight disapproval, Zhang Juzheng said: "I admit that I am a little concerned. However, you were promoted by Ting to enter the cabinet, and you also served as Minister of the Ministry of Rites, while I entered the cabinet specially. Zuo Shilang, I... just want not to be thrown off by you."

Luo Xin smiled and said, "Are you thinking about that seat?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Don't you want to?"

"I think!" Luo Xin answered neatly.

Hearing Luo Xin's straightforward answer, Zhang Juzheng was obviously taken aback for a moment, then he started laughing, the laughter became more and more intense, and finally his whole body twitched, and tears came out of his eyes.

Luo Xin also laughed, and the two laughed at each other, this smile seemed to rid their hearts of depression.After the laughter died down, Zhang Juzheng wiped away his tears, picked up his teacup and said:

"Tea instead of wine, I propose a toast to you."

"Same respect!"

The two clinked a glass and drank it down.Putting down the teacup, the relationship between the two seems to have returned to the past. Zhang Juzheng asked out of nowhere:

"How's your errand in the Ministry of Industry going?"

Luo Xin gave a wry smile and said, "I've never worked in the Ministry of Industry, so I don't understand it at all. It's also because I haven't worked in the Ministry of Industry, that I hardly know the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and..."

Luo Xin glanced at Zhang Juzheng and said, "You understand, so now I'm a bit like a dog biting a hedgehog, I can't say anything."

"That's right! Iron-clad yamen, fast-moving officials. If you don't engage in the personnel affairs of the Ministry of Industry, you will always be outside the circle of the Ministry of Industry."

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Then why don't you stay in the household department? That's right, you were originally the servant of the household department, and Ge Shouli is also your own. There is no need to move."

"Fuck you!" Zhang Juzheng said with anger on his face, "I'm not much better than you."

"How could it be?" Luo Xin didn't believe it: "Xu Jie, you and Ge Shouli are clearly the relationship between the three wearing a pair of pants."

"There are only three of you wearing a pair of trousers." Zhang Juzheng scolded with a smile: "I...is just a decoration. I have a mentor above me, and Ge Shouli below me. Who is Ge Shouli?

He was from the same era as his mentor, and in his heart, he was very wronged to serve as Minister of the Household Department after recovery. According to his thinking, he should be in the cabinet, and I should be Minister of the Household Department.

I'm not a small-minded person, but Ge Shouli always put on the airs of a senior and ignored me at all.When I look for him, he always hums and hahas. Once there is something wrong, he doesn't look for me at all, but directly goes past me to find my mentor.

What do you say, I am not a decoration? "

Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Taiyue, things are not as simple as you seem on the surface. Ge Shouli is so old, and he was rehabilitated by your benefactor, it is impossible for him to ignore you without reason."

"Then what did I do wrong?" Zhang Juzheng said angrily.

"A whip!" Luo Xin said calmly: "Whether it's Xu Jie or Ge Shouli. They are all conservative people who like to be safe and sound. But your whip is a radical method. Xu Jie didn't do it back then. Agreed, it was forced by Gao Gong and I.

You and Ge Shouli have a political disagreement. "
