After the yamen was released that day, Zhang Juzheng was too lazy to go home, so he found a tavern to sit down, ordered a few plates of side dishes, and poured them on his own.

He didn't care about the chaotic court situation now, nor did he care about Yang Bo's silence. In fact, the latter thing would be beneficial to him.

Yang Bo cannot enter the cabinet. He was a Jinshi from the Three-Famous, not Hanlin or Shuji. The possibility of becoming the Minister of Rites is close to nothing. The key is that Your Majesty is not an emperor who is brave enough to break the rules like the late emperor, not to mention that there are Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan and others waiting in Baba.

Zhang Siwei took the route of prime minister, but among the old ministers in Qiandi, he was only slightly more experienced than Zhu Dashou. However, although Zhu Dashou entered the Yu Palace later, he taught for King Yu many years ago and was also the top scholar.

Therefore, Yang Bo, Zhang Siwei and Gao Gong did not compete. They did not have a strong influence on Emperor Longqing like Qian Yuan.

But at the same time, Yang Bo, Zhang Siwei and Ningxia Governor Wang Chonggu are village parties and even in-laws. They are obviously forming party members within the party and forming their own factions. They and Gao Gong can only be considered an alliance...

Zhang Juzheng drank all the wine in his glass with a wry smile. How could he compare to himself who was already desperate and could only be willing to drive Gao Gong?

"Shopkeeper, come again to make a pot of wine!" Zhang Juzheng shouted at the top of his throat, "Come on the plate of peanuts again!"

After a moment, the shopkeeper came over with a bitter face, "Zhang Hanlin, where can there be a fruit in the small shop..."

"What kind of immortal fruit is peanuts!"

"Only Qian's restaurant can have it...why should a villain buy a plate?"

Zhang Juzheng stared at the shopkeeper silently, his eyes faintly red. After a while, he waved, "Where is the wine?"

"Yes, yes, go get it."

Qian Yuan brought chili peppers for the first time when he entered Beijing. After that, sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn were successively spread to the north. At the end of last year, Qian Zheng found peanuts called "Eternal Fruit" by the Chinese in Southeast Asia. Qian Yuan felt like he had a treasure and tried it in Beijing and Shandong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but scold Qian Yuan again. If it weren't for this guy, he might have already become the Minister of Rites at this time... Li Chunfang's position should have been mine, and with the old ministers in the secret residence, they might have all been able to enter the cabinet!

Gao Gong was still angry and cursing Qian Yuan, while Zhang Juzheng was drunk and scolding Qian Yuan in his heart.

In Suiyuan, Qian Yuan was playing with his son, while his nephew and cousin were eager to encourage Togo who was trying to stand up.

But in Xu Jie's study, there was a peaceful atmosphere.

"It's really Suiyuan?" Zuodu Censor Zhang Yongming said, "I didn't expect that they also wanted to steal the Ningbo Prefect. They were really... domineering and not allowing Gao Xinzheng."

Feng Tianyu, the Minister of Justice, smiled and said, "Suiyuan has always been like this, but this time he did a good thing. Yuan Fu was a little patient and would have a good opportunity."

Xu Jie's face, which had been gloomy for several years, also showed a smile. He endured himself for a year and Gao Gong was domineering for a year, and the form gradually became clearer.

Xu Jie's strategy is simple, it's just a sign of weakness. Gao Gong is eager to get up, gathers his followers, and joins forces with Xu Jie to suppress Sui Yuan. Now he is so domineering... Although Emperor Longqing is not a strong monarch, he may not be able to bear it.

The most important thing is that in many cases, whether Gao Gong can rise to power is not entirely determined by the emperor... If the reputation is broken, the pressure of public opinion alone can make Gao Gong unable to raise his head. In the final analysis, in the eyes of outsiders, if Gao Gong is good, you are not worthy of your position.

Xu Jie thought in his mind whether to continue to endure for a while or take advantage of this opportunity to take action...

Faced with such great public pressure now, Gao Gong is still a strong-willed person and still arbitrary in the cabinet. Perhaps it is more appropriate to wait?

Perhaps Beijing inspection is the best opportunity?

"Master, please see you."

"Haha, Kerou finally can't sit still?" Zhang Yongming smiled at Hu Yingjia who entered the door and said, "Xian Bomao's impeachment is without evidence, and there is no need to pay attention to it."

"Da Fengxian's idea is not bad." Feng Tianyu also smiled, "Ke Rou, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, is just right for him to be the prefect of Ningbo."

Xu Jie looked at Hu Yingjia with great interest. This is indeed the case. From the official rank, it is very suitable, and from the Ministry of Revenue where he is in charge, it is also very suitable. Considering that Hu Yingjia had gone south to Zhenhai County as a minister, he had been in Zhenhai County for several months, and Xu Jie could not find a more suitable candidate than him.

"I wish to take charge of the business affairs of the Southeast for Yuanfu, so that the court can be useless."

Hu Yingjia kept talking, but was cursing in his heart... No wonder last year, the man asked him to withdraw from the Zhejiang Inspector's dispute and asked him to volunteer to join the Six Divisions as a doctor, but he was afraid that he would be today.

Well, Qian Yuan did think so, but it was not for today. He could not have expected Tang Shunzhi's sudden death.

...

West Garden.

After the first worry-free year of his life, Emperor Longqing, who had been diligent for half a year, his lazy temperament began to appear undoubtedly.

Anyway, the three main halls of the palace have not been completed yet, so I can't go to court now... When I ascended the throne last year, Emperor Longqing was a little reluctant. After all, Emperor Jiajing has lived here for decades.

But now... I am so happy.

As for Nangong... that place was too taboo. As for the fact that the court used Hu Zongxian once, Emperor Longqing said that he forgot it at that time.

The beauty was leaning against the couch, listening lazily to the report of Chen Hong, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, and Emperor Longqing said casually: "Master Gao is too anxious. His nephew has been in office for less than three years."

Chen Hong did not dare to speak, but just lowered his head to wait. Although he was already the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, there was Huang Jinzhuyu who had escaped without permission, and the other hand, Gao Xinzheng was very strict in the internal affairs.

Tsk tsk, he is so domineering that he is the eunuch in charge of the seal. He is not the chief minister of the cabinet yet... Well, the chief minister of the cabinet cannot control it. The eunuch in charge of the seal is commonly known as the "internal minister".

"That Lu..."

"Lu Huang, a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing, joined the pedestrian department and was transferred to the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue." Chen Hong whispered: "Gao Ge Lao's student in Henan back then."

"It's the same year that Zhan Cai has never left Beijing..." Emperor Longqing was a little dissatisfied and thought for a while and asked, "Zhan Cai hasn't arrived yet?"

"Waiting outside the hall."

"You killer, don't let him in." Emperor Longqing glanced at the beauty beside him, "No need to avoid it, Zhan Cai is not Master Gao."

Emperor Longqing felt that getting along with Qian Yuan was much more comfortable than getting along with Master Gao... at least he didn't have to drive away the beauties around him.

"My minister Qian Yuan pays homage to Your Majesty."

"Get up quickly." Emperor Longqing smiled and pointed at the chessboard on the table, "Zhancai sees that this is the chess record I have finally collected."

"Your Majesty is... deliberately humiliating me?" Qian Yuan looked unswerving, "It's okay to say chess, go... Your Majesty clearly knows that I can't understand."

"Hahaha..." Emperor Longqing couldn't help laughing, "There are so lively in the capital these days, and Suiyuan has also gotten involved?"
