Huang Jin and others were initially shocked by what Jiajing had expressed, but then they felt relieved.

Lin Weiran showed outstanding military talents during his tenure in Leizhou and served as the Haibei Military Preparation Envoy to pacify the Leizhou Bay and the Tokyo Bay. When he became the governor of Guangzhou, he achieved the most glorious Nanmen Victory in Guangdong's anti-Japanese war.

He also served as the deputy envoy of Guangdong's sea patrol to defend the stability of Guangdong's waters. A few years ago, he temporarily stayed in Tongzhou as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites. The battle of Tongzhou North Gate presided over the defeat of the Mongolian cavalry, thus causing the Mongolian cavalry to leave in a mess.

In the face of the most important military issues of the Northern Barbarians, the "South General and North Transfer" mentioned that it has significantly and effectively solved the problems of the soldiers on the Nine-sided sides' fear of fighting, and has now achieved good results.

In contrast, although Yang Bo has always held an official position in the Ministry of War system and has a deep qualification, he has almost no military achievements.

His greatest achievement was that his position as the Governor of the Nine Borders was able to ensure local stability, but this stability that was not achieved through the bloody battle has been questioned, which is more reflected in the "selling" face to him by the Mongolian cavalry.

Although the many military fortresses built have strengthened the defense system in the north, they have invisibly continuously overdrawn the Ming Dynasty's military expenditure, and the problem of the Northern Barbarians has never been effectively solved.

By comparison, Lin Weiran undoubtedly seems more creative and makes people more likely to feel some expectations. He is likely to be a better Minister of War.

"Your Majesty, it's true that Secretary Lin has military talent, but what the Ming Dynasty needs now is stability! If Lin Junran is the Minister of War, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be young people who are eager to make meritorious contributions. It will definitely intensify the conflict with the Tartars, and may be repeated that year.

The Japanese riots in the southeast are so please think twice!” Xu Jie immediately stood up and spoke out alarmistly, and opposed it with great concern.

Although he spoke sincerely, at the moment, what he considered was not whether Lin Junran was competent as the Minister of War, but rather weighed the gains and losses of interests.

Although Lin Qingran's transition from the Minister of Revenue to the Minister of War was a kind of "exiled", it would thicken Lin Qingran's political capital and would not be subject to the siege of the cabinet.

In addition, he and Yang Bo have an alliance. Once Yang Bo loses the position of Minister of War, he cannot recommend Yang Bo as Minister of Revenue, and Yang Bo naturally loses his position in the court.

That's why he had reason to stand up and oppose Lin Shiran's appointment as Minister of War and prevent Lin Shiran from standing in the court through military affairs.

Although Chen Hong and Feng Bao knew that Xu Jie's opposition was more selfish, they did not dare to interfere in the government affairs, and turned their heads thoughtfully to look at Jiajing.

No matter when, the most important human rights were always controlled by this emperor.

Jiajing's brows frowned slightly. Although he wanted Lin Qiran to give it a try, Xu Jie's concerns hit his pain point.

What he wanted was not a dynasty that achieved great success, but a dynasty that steadily supported him in practicing Taoism. Once Lin Qingran was too radical, he might really make a big fuss in the north, which would affect his great cause of cultivating Xuan.

As soon as he thought of this, he nodded hesitantly and said, "Xu Aiqing, what you are worried about is reasonable. Lin Qingran must be cautious when he becomes the Minister of War!"

"Your Majesty, if you really intend to cultivate him, I think Lin Junran can be the Governor of Xuanda!" Xu Jie was secretly happy, but immediately struck the iron while it was hot and suggested.

this……

When Chen Hong and Feng Bao heard Xu Jie's proposal, they turned their heads and looked at Jiajing with concern.

Once the emperor nodded gently, Lin Qingran would stay away from the court and go to Xuanda to serve, and there would be no voices against Xu Jie in the entire court.

Jiajing's heart sank slightly. He was already aware of Xu Jie's true intention, but he responded lightly: "This dynasty has no precedent for the Minister of Revenue to be the governor of the local area. Since Lin Yanran should not be appointed as the Minister of War, then

Let Lin Xuran continue to stay as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!”

"Yes!" Xu Jie noticed Jiajing's displeasure and knew that he was too hasty just now, so he couldn't help but responded secretly regretfully.

Jiajing was indeed unhappy and warned directly to Xu Jie: "Master Xu, Wushan has gone now, your location is stable! Lin Weiran cannot threaten you, so don't be aggressive!"

But his forty-five years of ruling made him realize that the ministers below cannot control the government by only one person, but that there are multiple forces that check and balance each other.

After losing Wushan, Lin Weiran was already like an eagle with his wings broken, which could not pose a direct threat to Xu Jie, so it is no wonder that he would have the intention of staying away from the court.

But as an emperor who is good at mental skills, he needs Lin Junran to stay in the court, and Lin Junran needs to continue to compete with Xu Jie.

"I dare not, I obey the order!" Xu Jie wanted to slap himself. Knowing that Jiajing was trying to protect Lin Junran to check and balance him, he responded in panic.

This time, it was a mistake and every step. Lin Qingran's so-called attempt to defend the border to the nine sides is clearly a retreat. Everything at the moment is already under Lin Qingran's calculations.

It is this "retreat to advance" practice, coupled with his unknown "preemptive action" that made Lin Shiran win the emperor's "support".

From now on, it may not be easy for him to deal with Lin Weiran again.

Jiajing did not end there, but suddenly asked: "Now Wushan is gone, and the cabinet ministers should fill it, but I don't know who is suitable?"

If it were in the past, there would be no difference between three or four people in the cabinet. It was just that after this storm, he realized that he would hit Xu Jie more, or even cultivate a new force to compete with Xu Jie.

Xu Jie thought Jiajing was old and his mind was no longer in the court, but he underestimated the emperor's desire for power and could only recommend it helplessly: "I think Guo Zhifu is the most suitable!"

The cabinet ministers came from the Ci ministers, which has long been a consensus in the officialdom, and the Ci ministers have already had a clear order.

For example, Guo Pu, the Minister of Rites, was ranked before Lin Yuran, the Minister of Revenue, while Gao Gong, the Left Minister of Personnel, was ranked before Chen Yiqin, the Left Minister of Rites, which had already been clearly divided.

Now that the cabinet is going to increase its staff, there is not much controversy. The most suitable candidate is Guo Pu, Minister of Rites, and Lin Weiran, Minister of Revenue.

Jiajing has always been very polite to Guo Pu. If Guo Pu had not been delayed by filial piety, he would have entered the cabinet long before Yan Ne and Li Chunfang. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then call Guo Pu into the cabinet!
Chapter completed!
