Moreover, he knew very well that with Luo Xin's upward momentum, as long as Xu Jie was not pulled out of the capital, he would definitely surpass him. It was just a matter of time. So, he said to Luo Xin peacefully:

"Mr. Luo, as long as you can solve the problems of the Southern War and Maritime Affairs Bureau in both worlds, I will voluntarily sit at your lower head."

"Mr. Yan, you..."

"It's settled!" Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said, "Master Luo, I'll leave this matter to you. When will you set off?"

"Ah?" Luo Xin grew up with his mouth in surprise.

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

"If you can't solve it, you and Master Gao will find a solution for me, otherwise what if I want you two chief assistants and secondary assistants?" Emperor Longqing said angrily.

Xu Jie's old face turned red, but his skin had already been trained. He insisted on speaking:

"Your Majesty, if you have merits, you will be rewarded, and if you have been punished, this is fair. The old minister suggested that if Luo Xin cannot perfectly solve the southern problem, his position in the cabinet would be reduced by one."

"Haha..." Luo Xin smiled twice and said, "I think the current seat is very good. Why should Lord Xu go to the south? Or Lord Zhang go?"

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

Go, can the problem be solved?

So, he looked depressed. However, he still insisted: "Fairness and justice are the foundation of governing the country."

Emperor Longqing's face was as deep as water. Luo Xin looked at Emperor Longqing and felt that the temperature was almost the same, so he spoke:

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

Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Luo Xin really has a way?

"Master Luo, I did not read you wrong, you really have a way."

"Where is there any way?" Luo Xin said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are driving the duck to the shelves. I can only think hard."

"As long as you think, there must be a way." Emperor Longqing said with a smile on his face: "Is three days enough? In three days, you will set out to the south?"

"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded.

Emperor Longqing glanced over everyone and said, "Since Mr. Luo has begun to resolve the wars in the south and the Maritime Bureau, the remaining wars in the north and the trading matters, and the shortage of money, you will come up with a solution."

After the words came, Emperor Longqing stood up and left.

The cabinet meeting continued until noon. No feasible solution was come up. Xu Jie disbanded the meeting and asked everyone to go back and think about it carefully, and continue to hold the meeting tomorrow.

This time, Zhang Juzheng did not go with Xu Jie, but returned to the duty room with Luo Xin. The two sat opposite each other without going to read the copywriting. They each held a cup of tea and looked a little lost.

Both of them looked not very good. In fact, from outsiders, Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin were both young people. At this age, they had already entered the cabinet and became a Grand Secretary. It was really a blessing. However, both of them knew their own affairs and were both in a quagmire distress.

After a while, Zhang Juzheng raised his head and spoke first: "Mr. Luo, do you really have the best of both worlds?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "The situation is ever-changing, where is there a perfect way? You can only take one step at a time. But..."

Luo Xin looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Taiyue, your mood is not as peaceful as before, and you are a little bit āo."

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

“Many things are not something I can control.”

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

Looking at Luo Xin's disapproval, Zhang Juzheng said: "I admit that I'm a little nervous. However, you were the Ting Tui and you also served as the Minister of Rites. I was a special order to enter the cabinet. Before, I was just a left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I... just wanted to not be dumped by you."

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

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

"I want to!" Luo Xin answered neatly.

When Zhang Juzheng heard Luo Xin's answer so straightforward, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he started to laugh, laughing harder and harder. Finally, he laughed so hard that his whole body twitched and his tears burst out.

Luo Xin also laughed, and the two laughed at each other. The smile seemed to have laughed out loud. When the laughter fell, Zhang Juzheng wiped his tears, picked up the teacup and said:

"Take tea instead of wine, and toast you."

"Together!"

The two of them clinked a cup and then drank it all. Put down the teacup, and the relationship between them seemed to have returned to the past. Zhang Juzheng asked without seeing him:

"How is your work department doing?"

Luo Xin smiled bitterly and said, "I have never done anything in the Ministry of Works and I don't understand at all. It is precisely because I have never done something in the Ministry of Works that I almost don't know the officials of the Ministry of Works, and..."

Luo Xin looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "You understand, so I am a bit like a dog biting a hedgehog now and have no idea how to get it."

"Yes! The iron-clad yamen and the flowing officials. If you don't move the personnel of the Ministry of Works, you will always be outside the circle of the Ministry of Works."

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Then why don't you move in the Ministry of Revenue? That's right. You were originally the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Ge Shouli was also your own person. There is no need to move."

"It's just my own! " Zhang Juzheng said angrily, "I'm not much better than you."

"How could it be?" Luo Xin said without faith: "Xu Jie, you, Ge Shouli, are clearly the relationship between three people wearing a pair of pants."

"You are only three of you wearing a pair of pants." Zhang Juzheng laughed and scolded: "I... just a decoration. I have a mentor on top and Ge Shouli on bottom. Who is Ge Shouli?

That was a person from the same era as his mentor, and in his heart, after he recovered, he was very aggrieved. According to his idea, he should have entered the cabinet, and I served as the Minister of Revenue.

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

You said, I'm not a decoration, what's it?"

Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Taiyue, things are not as simple as you think on the surface. Ge Shouli was as old as his master, and he was restored by your mentor. It is impossible to ignore you for no reason."

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

"A whip!" Luo Xin said in a narrow voice: "Whether it is Xu Jie or Ge Shouli. They are all conservatives and like to be safe and stable. But your whip is a radical method. Xu Jie disagreed at the beginning, because he was forced by Gao Gong and I.

You and Ge Shouli have political disagreements."
