Mingshi

Chapter 1540
But Yan Na was under much less pressure, and Luo Xin was not in the capital, so all the pressure was mainly concentrated on Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

And Xu Jie originally disagreed with a whip method, so he kept silent most of the time, so most of the pressure was on Gao Gong's body, and after only one day, Gao Gong's mouth was full of blisters.

Moreover, a single whip is not a panacea, and it naturally has its flaws. It is entirely reasonable for those officials to seize those flaws and impeach them with accuracy, and the momentum of impeachment is getting bigger and bigger.Because many officials observed for a few days and found that Xu Jie's attitude did not seem to support a whipping method, so he was even more merciless, and the impeachment was like snowflakes.Zhang Juzheng, who was in charge of the south, and Ma Fang, who was in charge of the north, were brought to the forefront.Although Zhang Juzheng and Ma Fang also wrote to defend, but under the general situation, their voices were too weak and were completely drowned by the big waves.

Ma Fang is fine, after all, he was from the Ministry of Veterans. Even if he was violently impeached, he still has control over the Ministry of War.Even Xu Jie's man, Wang Guoguang, is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but because of Wang Chonggu's lack of cooperation, Wang Guoguang's control over the Ministry of War is very weak.

However, Zhang Juzheng's household department is different!
Ge Shouli was originally dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng sitting on his head as a young man, but because of Xu Jie's face, he had no choice but to do so.Now he doesn't care about Zhang Juzheng even more, Zhang Juzheng has almost lost control of the household department.

Zhang Juzheng is very distressed now, and he finds that no one can tell his distress.Can't help but think of Luo Xin.Strange to say, he and Luo Xin belong to two camps, and they are in direct competition.But he just felt that Luo Xin was the only one he could confide in.It's just that Luo Xin is not in the capital now.

Zhang Juzheng was sitting in his small courtyard at this moment, holding a jug in his hand, and there was only one cold dish on the table. He ate half of it, his eyes were dimmed, he took a sip of wine, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, sighed, and said to himself Saying:
"No, you avoided the vortex. You are right. What others give you is not yours. If others can give it to you, they can take it away. Just like my mentor, he is silent now, and those who impeached me are even more so. There are too many. You are still right, only what you control belongs to you. Today I finally understand this truth."

Suzhou.

Luo Xin stood in front of the window, holding a piece of paper in his hand, which was the detailed news of the capital sent by Wang Cuiqiao through a secret channel.Luo Xin put the piece of paper into his arms, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and whispered to himself:
"I'm afraid Taiyue and Xu Jie are feeling dirty now. Hehe..."

Beijing.

The corners of Zhang Juzheng's mouth curled up, revealing a self-deprecating smile, with a breath of alcohol in his mouth, he said:
"No, do you think I'm too impulsive? Should I learn from Yan Na? Be an honest and good gentleman in the cabinet? But... I don't want to..."

Zhang Juzheng's voice suddenly increased: "I don't want to be mediocre. I worked hard to get into the cabinet, not for that position, but to do something real. I don't want to be like Yan Na."

Suzhou.

"Brother Tai Yue!" Luo Xin stood in front of the window and whispered leisurely: "Now there are six members in the cabinet, only Yan Na has been impeached the least, do you hold Yan Na in contempt?
But... well..."

Luo Xin sighed softly and said: "The best kindness is like water! Yan Na has grasped the essence! How do you know that he has no ideals? How do you know that he is not waiting for the fisherman to gain? Wait until he takes control of the cabinet Time to realize your ideal?

You and I are still young and hot-tempered, so we are getting a little irritated!
If you don’t have the background, if you want to rely on others to do something big, it’s a dream after all. When others don’t let you rely on it, we will fall down at any time. This is the result of relying on it.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others! "

Inside Zhang Xun's study.

Zhang Xun, Tao Xingyan, Yun Zhiqiu and Haizheng gathered together.

"It seems that the strategy we set up at the beginning has succeeded. Joining forces with Zhang Juzheng has caused a rift between Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie." Yun Zhiqiu said cheerfully.

"Yes!" Tao Xingyan also nodded happily and said, "It is estimated that Zhang Juzheng is full of complaints about Xu Jie at this moment, and the master and apprentice will not be of the same mind in the future!"

"In this way, Xu Jie's control over the cabinet has weakened a bit." Haizheng said happily.

"It's just..." Zhang Xun said solemnly: "Nowadays, hundreds of officials are impeaching the cabinet more and more fiercely. Although Zhang Juzheng and Ma Fang have written to defend themselves several times, they are drowned in the sea like waves. Xu Jie and Gao Gong are silent No words, this makes those officials more motivated to impeach. If this continues, Buqi will definitely be implicated after returning to Beijing."

"In this matter, Xu Jie and Gao Gong must speak up." Haizheng frowned and said, "The two of them, one is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the other is the second assistant of the cabinet. They are both like donkeys. What do they mean?" ?”

"Xu Jie won't speak up!" Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "If Zhang Juzheng proposed a whip, Xu Jie might not stand up to support Zhang Juzheng, because Xu Jie didn't agree with a whip in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't force him to do so." Zhang Juzheng let Buqi suggest.

In fact, from that moment on, Zhang Juzheng had a rift with Xu Jie. Xu Jie wanted to train a successor, but he wanted an obedient successor.Now that the impeachment happened, Xu Jie just took this opportunity to beat Zhang Juzheng.Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Xu Jie will not stand up. "

"What about Gao Gong?"

There was silence in the study.

After a while, Zhang Xun said softly: "Gao Gong's situation is very bad!"

"How?" Haizheng asked.

"I don't think this matter is that simple." Zhang Xun thought about it and said, "A whip is not recommended."

Speaking of this, he looked at several people and said: "At least on the surface, it is not suggested by the weapon."

Tao Xingyan and the others couldn't help nodding their heads.

"But..." Zhang Xunning said: "The final leader is Gao Gong, that is to say, the impeachment center of this matter is not Buqi, but Gao Gong. And it happens that Buqi is not in the capital. With the war in the south and the affairs of the Shibosi, at this critical moment, all officials have scruples about impeaching Buqi. Once Buqi is impeached, who will handle the southern affairs?"

"That's right!" Tao Xingyan nodded and said, "Six members of the cabinet, Yan Na was the least impeached. It stands to reason that the impeachment should be the second most, second only to Gao Gong. But now, it is only a little more than Yan Na. Son. From this point of view, Baiguan has scruples about not using weapons."

"So Gao Gong is in danger?" Yun Zhiqiu asked while thinking.
