Chapter 701: Be careful

After some conspiracy, Lu Guangzu left, and Zhang Juzheng accompanied Xu Jie to the backyard. Today, his wife Xu took her daughter back home.

"It's really a storm that is about to come and the wind fills the building." Xu Jie sighed, "Ouyang passed away, Yan Donglou refused to leave Beijing, and Li Shiyan colluded with all directions and was about to recover."

Zhang Juzheng sighed: "Today's in the Imperial College... Gao Xinzheng also has the intention."

"The Minister of Taichang Temple has been in charge of the Imperial College for four years, but he has been in charge of the Imperial College for less than a year." Xu Jie frowned and said, "According to the rules, he can only be transferred to the Minister of Rites. Gao Xinzheng is so impatient?"

Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly. In his opinion, Gao Gong was really taking it for granted. Unless Emperor Jiajing was seriously ill, Gao Gong would rather be promoted to the Minister of Rites... It would be too difficult. You should know that Gao Gong was the teacher of King Yu, so it was unlikely that he would be transferred to the other five ministers. After he became the Minister of Rites, he would definitely enter the cabinet.

Xu Jie was also very concerned about Gao Gong. Knowing that this person was arrogant, he asked in a low voice: "What do you say about Gao Xinzheng?"

"I'm afraid there's a lot of trouble in the Yan Mansion. Now there are three candidates." Zhang Juzheng felt that he had a good grasp of this time. "Gao Xinzheng mentioned that Sun Wenfeng visited him in private and recommended Pan Siming, while His Highness Yu mentioned that Zhu Duanfu, who was about to be removed from the condolences, was about to be reincarnated."

"There are two officials in Prince Yu's Mansion, and he still wants to take all of them in Suiyuan?" Xu Jie sneered: "Look at the people he uses, they are from Shaoxing, and you are not afraid of losing their tails!"

Indeed, the first group of Suiyuan people, except Qian Yuan himself, were mostly from Shaoxing people. Pan Sheng and others who later joined the online group were also from Shaoxing people.

Zhang Juzheng knew who his father-in-law was referring to, and chuckled and said, "Although Zhan Cai was young, he was good at controlling the people. He was very talented in the garden. Zhan Cai had not entered the capital for three years. Seeing Chen Dengzhi this time, Lu Zizhi went south, and was still as if he was sent by his arm."

Anyway, since the soldiers surrounded the governor's yamen at the beginning of last year and kicked Zhao Zhenji away, Qian Yuan and Xu Jie have already broken up... Well, since then, once Qian Yuan is mentioned, Zhang Ju always says something good about Qian Yuan in front of Xu Jie, and it is hard to figure out.

No matter why Zhang Juzheng did this, every time something similar happened, Xu Jie's emotions would fluctuate a lot.

For example, this time, Xu Jie stopped and asked with a sinister face: "How about Yuan Han?"

The original Han refers to Dong Chuance, a Jinshi in the 29th year of Jiajing, a native of Huating in Songjiang Prefecture. Zhang Juzheng hadn't heard of this name for a long time. He was a little puzzled, "Is it still necessary now?"

Looking at Xu Jie's cold look, Zhang Juzheng lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Chen Dengzhi went south for several months last year and was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. It is said that after the examination, he may be promoted to the position of the Ministry of Revenue and take charge of the Ningbo Qing Literature Department.

Tao Yuchen seems calm but is actually strong. He is also buried in his writings and proofreads. He knows little about political affairs. The Yuan Han has a deep relationship with him and has discussed it in detail several times. Today, Suiyuan went to Yan's house to pay homage at noon, but Tao Yuchen has not arrived."

From the end of the 34th year of Jiajing to the beginning of the 35th year of Jiajing, although Suiyuan had not become famous, it was also well-known in the capital. In addition to the candidates for examination, many scholars who had already become officials came to visit. At that time, two people who were closest to Suiyuan were Zhang Juzheng and the other was Dong Chuance.

After Zhang Juzheng chose to part ways with Qian Yuan, Dong Chuance still maintained a good relationship with the scholars of Suiyuan. He was a Jinshi in the 29th year of Jiajing and was not considered a student of Xu Jie. Because his father and Qian Zheng had classmates and ages, he often went to Suiyuan.

Chen Younian, Tao Dalin, Yang Quan, Lu Yipeng and Pan Yunduan in the Suiyuan were all very close to Dong Chuance. This was also the reason why Zhang Juzheng chose Dong Chuance. Chen Younian and Tao Dalin were selected from the others.

However, Chen Younian was later transferred to the head of the Ministry of Revenue and went south to inspect last year. He got too close to Qian Yuan, so Tao Dalin became the only candidate.

But the problem is, just like what Zhang Juzheng asked, is there still necessary?

This plan originated at the end of the 35th year of Jiajing. At that time, Qian Yuan turned the tide in Jiaxing Prefecture and returned to Beijing to snatch Zhejiang inspectors from Wang Bengu. Xu Jie could not bear Qian Yuan's arbitrary behavior, nor could he bear the back and forth between Qian Yuan and Hu Zongxian...

Therefore, the purpose of Xu Jie's plan was to make Qian Yuan stop looking back in desperation, break with the Yan Party, and get back on track. At that time, Xu Jie didn't feel that the meat buns he threw out were fed to the dog.

But on February 2nd, Qian Yuan's army surrounded the Zhejiang Governor's Office, snatched Wang Zhi, ruined Xu Jie's major affairs, and even kicked Zhao Zhenji away... In this way, he had already parted ways, but this time he completely tore his face.

Although I still don’t know why, why that young man chose to break up so resolutely... but Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng both knew very well that Qian Yuan would not look back. Judging from the attitude of many scholars in Suiyuan, this was not just Qian Yuan’s choice, but the choice of the entire Suiyuan political group.

The butler in front was waiting silently not far away with the lantern in his hand. Zhang Juzheng stood respectfully and looked at the unwilling expression on Xu Jie's face secretly... Perhaps it was because he was bullied by Yan Song and Yan Shifan for too long, and Xu Jie could not bear Qian Yuan's betrayal...at least in his opinion, it was betrayal.

"Yuan Han is also from Huating. My uncle can travel more when he is free." Xu Jie dropped this sentence and walked forward.

A simple sentence made Zhang Juzheng feel a little cold. He bowed and followed slowly.

In Zhang Juzheng's opinion, this was not a wise choice. The next period of time may be the most tragic political struggle after Xia Guixi was abandoned, just like the incident of Li Mo three years ago.

In this case, it may not be a good thing to mix Suiyuan with a complex background... although this time it was Qian Yuan's provocation.

After slowly entering the backyard, Zhang Juzheng saluted to his mother-in-law Zhang with a spring breeze on his face, and was gentle to his wife. He picked up his daughter and looked loving. He greeted him for a long time before leaving... Xu always stayed for two or three days after returning to his parents' home, but this person was quite generous. The two handsome maids he brought over to Zhang Juzheng for a room.

Looking back at the brightly lit backyard of Xu Mansion, Zhang Juzheng got into the sedan chair, stamped his feet, "Go around and stop at the entrance of Tongzi Alley."

Zhang Juzheng had no right to refuse. He rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly in his heart. Zhancai was thousands of miles away. With a little trick, he could stir up the storm in the capital. It was so difficult to make trouble.

Unlike Xu Jie, and Zhang Taiyue in the original time and space, Zhang Ju in this life met Qian Yuan in the southeast. In Hangzhou, he had a long talk with him several times. He could vaguely guess why Qian Yuan chose to break with Xu Jie.

A long time ago, Qian Yuan said this in front of Zhang Juzheng, "Since ancient times, there has been no dynasty for three hundred years, why?"

Of course, Zhang Juzheng knew that this was due to the sharp increase in population and the consequences of land annexation.

Qian Yuan pointed to the southeast at that time... Zhang Juzheng guessed that this was Qian Yuan's choice. Why did the troops surrounded the Zhejiang Governor's Office and snatch Wang Zhi out of it? It was simply because Zhao Zhenji touched Qian Yuan's bottom line.

Zhang Juzheng lamented in his heart, three father-in-laws in the past and behind... Just count this person who is the most difficult to serve now. To put it bluntly, this is called being petty.

He still remembers drinking with Qian Yuan in Suiyuan many years ago. At that time, he had not yet joined Xu Jie's disciple. Qian Yuan sneered and mocked him. People say that Qian is vengeful, and Qian and Xu Huating?

The sedan chair fell gently, and You Qi carefully lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, "Master, go into the third house?"

Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly, "Wait."

At such a curfew moment, Zhang Juzheng also carefully avoided being discovered. He slowly got out of the sedan chair and watched You Qi call the door. He thought about how to persuade Dong Chuance.
