Emperor Longqing did not agree immediately, but looked at Gao Gong. Gao Gong agreed to Xu Jie without any hesitation. On this point, the chief assistant and the second assistant had a very tacit understanding.

In fact, Gao Gong was also very afraid of Luo Xin. After Luo Xin entered the cabinet, no matter whether it was cabinet affairs or Ministry of Rites, there was no mistake. Moreover, he presided over the Ministry of Personnel's assessment a few years ago and was fair, which really made Luo Xin famous. Luo Xin's strength in the capital has increased considerably. If Luo Xin was allowed to preside over the talent ceremony, become the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and become the new Jinshi, Luo Xin's strength would have a leap in a very short time.

Let’s look at him and Xu Jie again.

Zhang Juzheng, who Xu Jie tried his best to get in, is now in the chaos of money shortage caused by a whip. In his Gao Gong's camp, Ma Fang is also in this trouble. The most important thing is that neither Xu Jie nor Gao Gong have come up with a solution to the money shortage so far. This trouble is intensifying and intensifying.

In this way, Luo Xin became the master of the Jinshi exam, and once Zhang Juzheng and Ma Fang could not solve the money shortage, Luo Xin would definitely advance one time after another.

The best results for ranking at that time were: Xu Jie, Yan Na, Ma Fang, Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng.

Ma Fang just retreated one and strictly accepted one. Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng did not advance or retreat, and remained in place. However, this was a big blow to Gao Gong and Xu Jie.

Let’s talk about Zhang Juzheng first. It is impossible for Ma Fang to retreat one person, but Zhang Juzheng didn’t deal with it at all.

how?

Have you made any contribution to the rear of the crane?

Just because you can handle it at the end of the crane?

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng must be dealt with. Just as Xu Jie promised before, observe and study for three years first. Don’t manage cabinet chores within three years.

This will be a big blow to Zhang Juzheng. When you enter the cabinet, you cannot manage affairs, you can only observe and learn. What is the difference between this and a Si Shilang?

This has had a great blow to Zhang Juzheng's reputation. Even if he was able to take charge of the cabinet in three years, he would have no prestige. The officials from all the ministries below dared to speak in person.

Moreover, if such a thing happens, it will be a great blow to Xu Jie. Even if you can't protect your disciples, can you still protect the people who follow you?

What about the blow to Ma Fang?

One step back in the cabinet ranking is a blow. In the cabinet, seniority, it is difficult to further the difficulties. Now that I have taken a step back, I will never be the chief minister of the cabinet in my life. Moreover, this prestige will also be greatly reduced. When you are not moved, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is just a decoration.

Ma Fang is Gao Gong's man. If Ma Fang falls down, Gao Gong's strength will definitely be hit. He also faces the embarrassment of someone who cannot protect himself.

This is still a good result, but what if it is a bad result?

That is, the ranking of the cabinet Luo Xin has changed.

Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Yan Na, Luo Xin, Ma Fang, and Zhang Juzheng.

If there is punishment, there is reward!

Ma Fang and Zhang Juzheng made mistakes and were punished, while Luo Xin had made meritorious services and was rewarded!

This result was something that Xu Jie and Gao Gong didn't want to see. Needless to say, Gao Gong was a alliance Luo Xin, but it did not mean that he wanted to see Luo Xin gradually become stronger and eventually threatened Gao Gong.

Just like the Three Kingdoms, Shu and Wu jointly fought against Wei, but weren’t Shu and Wu also fighting?

The ideal situation is that Gao Gong and Luo Xin jointly fought against Xu Jie, but Gao Gong was able to defeat Luo Xin and occupy an advantage. After completely defeating Xu Jie, Gao Gong could continue to gain an advantage over Luo Xin, and then turn this advantage into a victory, and eventually defeat Luo Xin completely, turning the cabinet into Gao Gong's one-man show.

If you want to do this, you must have the power to limit Luo Xin when you unite with Luo Xin. Luo Xin cannot develop too quickly. Therefore, Gao Gong supported Xu Jie without hesitation, preventing Luo Xin from continuing to serve as the Minister of Rites, and preventing him from becoming a postmaster of the Jinshi.

Gao Gong was not afraid that Luo Xin would become enemies with him. The situation in the cabinet was very obvious. If Gao Gong did not join forces with Luo Xin, he would definitely be suppressed by Xu Jie. Luo Xin would also be suppressed by Xu Jie. Moreover, Luo Xin could not join forces with Xu Jie. Therefore, he believed that Luo Xin could only accept it with his nose and dare not be dirty with him, and he had to continue to join.

Luo Xin listened on the side, his face did not change, but he cursed Gao Gong in his heart.

Politically, there are really no friends I have, only eternal interests!

When Emperor Longqing saw Gao Gong say this, he hesitated a little. His IQ could not have imagined so many twists and turns. Since even Gao Gong says this, is Luo Xin really too tired?

It’s not that Luo Xin is too tired. So he asked Luo Xin if he wants to.

Luo Xin was really unable to complain about Emperor Longqing's IQ. Even if Luo Xin was unwilling, on the surface, could he say he was unwilling?

Both the chief and secondary assistant of the cabinet proposed that, and as the cabinet, we must focus on the cabinet affairs and should not work part-time as a ministry. This is true for Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Ma Fang and Yan Na.

how?

When you arrive at your Luo Xin, you will take over the position?

Luo Xin could not have left such a reputation. Therefore, he could only express his willingness and had to submit a letter to resign from the Minister of Rites.

When Luo Xin returned to the mansion, he had actually thought of this situation in his mind. Since he learned that Zhao Zhenji had returned, he had thought about it in the study for a night and then calculated the situation. Moreover, he did not have any arrangements, but he was a little depressed.

It would be fine if Xu Jie did it to himself, but Gao Gong also took action. Although Luo Xin speculated about this situation, he did not want Gao Gong in his heart. This is the basic quality of a politician, and he would take action when it should. He just felt depressed.

He was depressed here, but actually Xu Jie was also depressed. Looking back on the past, what was Luo Xin?

Like an ant, not to mention Xu Jie, they are all an ant compared to Zhang Juzheng. However, in just over ten years, Luo Xin made rapid progress, not only leaving Zhang Juzheng, whom he was dedicated to training, far behind, but also being very close to him, Xu Jie.

Therefore, Xu Jie had to suppress Luo Xin regardless of everything and clear the obstacles for Zhang Juzheng.

good!

He believed that Luo Xin was the real obstacle for Zhang Juzheng. Gao Gong, Ma Fang and Yan Na were all older. When he abdicated, the three would be almost the same. Therefore, when he was still in the position of chief minister of the cabinet, he had to make Zhang Juzheng stronger and Luo Xin weaker. He wanted Zhang Juzheng to surpass Luo Xin and to throw Luo Xin away.
