What will Suiyuan do?

The same problem circled in Xu Jie's mind, but for a moment, he stopped thinking about it. The reason was very simple. He joined forces with Gao Gong, and even though Qian Yuan was full of tricks, he could only get some cheaper from other places at most.

The overall situation has been decided.

The atmosphere in the study was the most active in the past two years. Feng Tianyu, Minister of Justice, Li Chunfang, Minister of Rites, Guo Pu, Minister of Justice, Department of Personnel, Lu Guangzu, Department of Personnel, Censors Wang Bengu, Lin Run, Hu Yingjia, and Zou Yinglong are all listed, chatting and laughing without any quarrels, and are full of confidence in tomorrow's court promotion.

"Xu Wenchang is a sarcastic and sarcastic master, and he was promoted. It is said that he had had a good relationship with Yan Donglou..." Feng Tianyu smiled with a hint of chill mixed in his laughter.

The study immediately became quiet. Xu Wei's identity as a master of calligraphy and painting has no status in the court, and Qing Ci is now even more useless. The main impression he left on the officials in the court was... the second in command of Suiyuan.

After hearing this, Lu Guangzu lowered his head slightly. He was from Pinghu, Jiaxing Prefecture, and was from the southeast. He had heard from his friend many years ago that Xu Wei wanted to re-string his strings, but when he heard that the woman's surname was Yan, he refused.

"Jiajing has been ranked second in 35 years, but in just four years, it has been a Hanlin bachelor's degree. It is unheard of for promotion!" Zou Yinglong responded.

Guo Pu also smiled and said, "Zi Shi was a Hanlin Bachelor's degree in ten years, and Wen Chang was promoted to the bachelor's degree in the third year. Tsk tsk."

Li Chunfang smiled and said nothing. Like Xu Wei, he was favored by Qing Ci, and was also a Jinshi. However, he was not promoted to Hanlin Bachelor from the 26th year of Jiajing until the 36th year of Jiajing. Compared with Xu Wei, he was faster.

Hearing the discussions around him, Hu Yingjia, who had been silent, complained in his heart... A group of bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, Xu Wei stabbed Feng Tianyu in his heart that day, but everyone knew Qian Yuan behind Xu Wei.

I didn’t dare to argue with Qian Yuan behind my back, but I only dared to talk to Xu Wei. It was really embarrassing!

Xu Jie's smile slowly faded from his face, "No matter whether it's Suiyuan."

Everyone bowed and said that the meaning of this sentence was very obvious. Let’s not stab the hornet’s nest for the time being... Xu Jie guessed in his heart, who would Qian Yuan ask for trouble after the hornet’s nest was stabbed in two days?

Anyway, the Qian family and the Xu family have already broken up. Will Qian Yuan go to trouble Gao Gong?

After a long talk overnight, everyone stood up and said goodbye. Xu Jie sat behind the table without moving, and a long-lost smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Now in the court, who is more proficient in understanding the checks and balances of power than Xu Jie?

Just changing his position and just changing his identity, Xu Jie cleverly took back the initiative.

On that night half a year ago, Xu Jie secretly sent Feng Bao out of the palace. Although Feng Bao inexplicably committed suicide by hanging himself, it was certain that he left the palace and went to Prince Yu's mansion. Xu Jie barely retained the position of chief minister of the cabinet.

The biggest advantage of Xu Jie's choice to join Gao Gong this time is undoubtedly that he can temporarily establish a foothold. Except for a few positions, he is willing to give up to Gao Gong... He is more shameless, and he is willing to give the right to vote to Gao Gong.

When Gao Gong was full of wings, he waited for Gao Gong to take over the power... At that time, in the cabinet, Li Mo, who was already 68 years old this year, should have retired, Wu Shan was also 67 years old this year. Lu Ben and Sun Sheng submitted many memorials in the past six months to request retirement.

By then, facing Gao Gong, who was full of wings, in charge of power and domineering, in the past, Li Mo's Gao Gong, except Xu Jie, who would Emperor Longqing choose to balance Gao Gong?

The decades of ups and downs in the officialdom made Xu Jie very clear about this truth. As long as he is an emperor or even a superior, he always has to understand the art of checking and balance of power... If he doesn't understand, his fate will be very miserable.

Although I am young and not skilled, I understand this principle.

Xu Jie picked up the teacup and took a sip of the strong tea, thinking with a smile... His Majesty tried to balance Gao Gong with Suiyuan, but unfortunately it was impossible, at least in a short period of time.

Your Majesty is too young and thinks too simple. After ascending the throne, he frequently expressed kindness to the old ministers of Qiandi, but the scholars in Suiyuan were not well experienced, so he promoted the officials outside Suiyuan such as Pan Sheng and Gao Yi, and asked Sun Yan and Sun Ying's father Sun Sheng to enter the pavilion. How could Gao Gong not be afraid?

Of course, the most critical reason lies in the Southeast.

Since the 36th year of Jiajing, the southeast has successively selected Zhenhai and Ninghai to set up cities to trade, and taxes and silver have come to solve the embarrassment of insufficient expenditure in the court. Now, more than three years have passed, and everyone knows what trading means to the court.

It can be said that whoever controls the trade tax and silver can largely determine the person's status and actual power in the court.

Qian Yuan has only held a free position in the Zhanshi Mansion. He has a low position and no power. He has such a weight in the court. The power gathered with the garden and the great trust of Emperor Longqing are all the reasons, but the most important thing is that he controlled the most important three Ningshaotai prefectures.

Think about it, from Tang Shunzhi, Song Jizu, Zhao Dahe, Sun Ying, to Lu Yipeng, who is now engaged in trading in Fujian, Sun Piyang... Can Gao Gong bear it?

Gao Gong had the ambition to support the country, but he also had an extreme desire for power. He could tolerate that Southeast Tong's business was temporarily controlled by Xu Jie, because Xu Jie was here and would definitely be replaced by himself in the future, but he could not tolerate these being controlled by Qian Yuan, the most likely rival in the future.

Gao Gong and Xu Jie have a common judgment. If the Southeast Commercial Bureau can be taken away, Suiyuan's power will inevitably decline, and Qian Yuan's position in the court will greatly reduce his weight in the minds of Emperor Longqing.

When I opened the window, it was already autumn. It was late at night again, and a cold air came to my face. Xu Jie was shocked and he thought carefully in his heart.

Although Gao Gong has been in Prince Yu's Mansion for so many years, his status in His Majesty's mind may not be higher than Qian Yuan... If things go well, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will join the Suiyuan.

But no matter how much you give me favor, Suiyuan's strength is inevitable.

Let’s do it step by step, starting with tomorrow’s court push.

Xu Jie put on a casual dress and sneered and looked up at the bent moon. If Qian Zhan couldn't help but cry to His Majesty, then there would be a fun view.

Since the night in Xiyuan more than half a year ago, Xu Jie has been swaying between Qian Yuan and Zhang Juzheng, not sure which one he hates even more...

Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I feel even more hated by Zhang Juzheng. If this guy hadn't told me secretly, how could I be in such a situation!

But when the yamen was released at night, Xu Jie felt even more hated Qian Yuan. He dug many pits for him. Even that night, if there was no Suiyuan, he would not have the possibility of backhanding.

During the past ten years of suppression by Yan Song, Xu Jie shrank his head as a turtle, but was also looking for various talents to act as wings.

Over the past decade, Xu Jie has chosen many people, but we have to admit that the two best ones are Zhang Juzheng and the other are Qian Yuan.

Close the window and prepare to go back to the backyard to rest. Xu Jie thought to himself that he was cheated so badly by his son-in-law and grandson-in-law, so Gao Gong should be able to trust his promise to retire after taking revenge?
