The officialdom in the capital can be said to have caused a thousand waves in one stone.

When the two factions were fighting fiercely, the Xu Party seized the handle of Shanxi Governor Wang Jiluo's fear of the enemy at the time of the battle and finally successfully forced Gao Gong, who recommended Wang Weiluo.

After more than two years, Longqing chose to recall Gao Gong.

Gao Gong did not commit a crime in the end, but made the mistake of improper recommendation. The more than two years of neglecting period was enough to offset the fault. There is not much inappropriate recouping people now.

However, the current situation in the court is no longer as good as that of that time. With Xu Jie's step down, the empress gave birth to the emperor's legitimate son, and Lin Weiran was the only voice in the court.

Once Gao Gong returns, he will naturally seize power from Lin Qingran with his arrogant and blind arrogance.

No matter how good the relationship between the two was, in this kind of power struggle, they would definitely turn against each other, or even face each other with each other.

That's why the peace of the Ming Dynasty, led by Lin Qingran, will be broken, and Lin Qingran and Gao Gong will set off a new chapter in the struggle of the Ming Dynasty, causing the entire capital to become panic immediately.

Some people are happy and some are sad, but many people are happy to see King Gao Gong return.

The Shanxi Guild Hall looks very lively.

After learning that Longqing issued an order to recall Gao Gong back to the cabinet, a sumptuous banquet was prepared here and the "meritorious ministers" were invited to celebrate.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents.

Lin Qingran first cut off the salt wealth of Shanxi merchants through the Gangyan Law, and then used an iron-blooded policy to block the smuggling trade on the border. It can be said that he killed Shanxi merchants' parents twice.

If we talk about the entire Shanxi Gang group, the person they hate the most must be Lin Weiran.

Now that Gao Gong has successfully made a comeback, they wish Gao Gong could arrive in the capital immediately to defeat Lin Weiran, and let the demon who blocked their wealth return to Changlin Village to farm.

"When the clouds clear, the moon is bright. Are you so happy today? Let's cheer together!" Yang Baishi raised his wine glass high with great joy.

Meng Chong was also invited this time. As a great hero in this incident, he was promoted to the seat. He also picked up the wine glass in his hand and responded to Yang Baishi: "Cheers!"

As the drink fell from his throat, thinking about the silver notes in his arms, he felt very excited. He just tried hard, but he actually earned 50,000 taels. How could this be so good in the world

What about the deal?

However, he also knew in his heart that these Shanxi merchants have always been rich and powerful, and a mere 50,000 taels may not be a big deal in their eyes.

"Once Gao Suqing comes back, I think Lin Ruoyu is still arrogant?"

"I heard that Lin Ruoyu has supported the emperor's legitimate son, and the emperor has always been dissatisfied with him!"

"Haha... It's so good. As long as they fight, the emperor will definitely help Gao Shegong!"

...

The entire wine table was dominated by Shanxi merchants, and I was so angry that I gritted my teeth for Lin Qingran. Now that I saw that Lin Qingran was about to get tired of eating, everyone also started to discuss it enthusiastically.

Meng Chong had already seen the passages clearly, and poured his wine glass and said, "As long as Lin Ruoyu fell down and the border trade started, you will definitely make a fortune every day!"

"Thank you the auspicious words of Eunuch Meng!" Yang Baishi and others' eyes lit up slightly, and they raised their glasses without any concealment.

Under Lin Junran's iron-blooded lock-up policy, Altan's prices in the Later Jin Dynasty had already risen, while the prices of precious medicinal materials and leather in the Ming Dynasty continued to rise.

As long as they can open up this smuggling line, the silver will come like a flood, not only can it quickly make up for the losses over the years, but it can also make a fortune directly.

That's why they had to work extra hard to resume border trade with Altan in this operation.

Shao Fang sat at the table and took the initiative to provoke a chorus and said, "Geor Xu is very kind to you. Now that you have encountered such a great disaster, please help me rescue me with all my might!"

Meng Chong unexpectedly looked at the tall knight and found that he really valued friendship.

"Shao Daxia, you can rest assured! In the event of trouble, how can we ignore Mr. Xu? We must help Mr. Xu turn bad luck into good luck!" Yang Baishi immediately expressed his opinion when he heard this.

The court has issued an order to take Xu Ying to the capital. Once Xu Ying's order is truly confirmed, Xu Guangnian will destroy the dike and flood the fields, the Xu family will definitely be destroyed.

However, this matter also has a lot of room for operation. As long as this crime is not established or the relevant witness dies suddenly, Xu Jie's trouble will naturally be solved.

From a very early stage, the Shanxi Gang and Xu Jie had formed an interest alliance. Not to mention the interests of Huai Yan, the Xu family also gained a lot of benefits from the smuggling trade with Altan.

Xu Jie has had rich political resources for decades of running the officialdom. For example, the current chief assistant Li Chunfang was promoted by Xu Jie, while Zhang Juzheng, a great minister of Wenyuan Pavilion, was Xu Jie's disciple.

That's true. Whether it is the business interests of both parties or the political resources of Xu Jie, it is necessary to lend a helping hand to Xu Jie to maintain this intimate alliance.

"Yes, Wang Huailang is in charge of the Ministry of Justice. Lin Qingran dares not to reverse right and wrong!" Wang Shi was one of the leaders of the Shanxi merchants, but he pushed Wang Chonggu out.

Although the Shanxi Gang was constantly being cleaned by Lin Weiran, and there were no more Shanxi officials in the Ministry of War system today, Wang Chonggu was also successfully transferred from the local governor back to the capital to serve as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Facing Shao Fang's expectant gaze, Wang Chonggu smiled and said, "Shao Daxia, Master Xu has been kind to me back then, so I will not stand by and watch."

"Haha... With Mr. Wang's words, Mr. Xu is worry-free. I wish Mr. Wang a step-by-step success!" Shao Fang saw Wang Chonggu nodding in public, and immediately raised his glass and said excitedly.

Wang Chonggu smiled and raised his glass to respond, with a smug smile on his lips.

As the drink flowed from his throat, he also looked forward to Gao Gong returning to the capital to drive Lin Weiran away, and he could return to the Ministry of War system instead of staying in the most promising Ministry of Justice.

Lingshi Hutong, Lin Mansion.

Although this is not the residence of the chief minister of the dynasty, its dignity is even better than that of Li Chunfang. Now all officials in the capital know about it.

Lin Weiran, wearing black-clad home clothes, was as usual. After taking a shower, he would go to the study to read information from the thirteen provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and then discuss some things with Sun Jixiang, Wang Zhideng and Jiang Ronghua.

After completing his revenge, Jiang Ronghua also went to Beijing to help Lin Qingran and helped Lin Qingran build a more complete intelligence network to control the movements of all parties.

Lin Qingran walked out of the inner room and raised his hand to the three people present and said gently: "Sir, don't need to be very polite, please sit down!"

Sun Jixiang and others respectfully returned the greeting, but the superiority and inferiority had already penetrated into the bones, but they would sit down again after Lin Junran took a seat.

Lin Qingran took the teacup given by Lin Jinyuan and sighed inwardly: "The emperor ordered the Ministry of Revenue to purchase two-year silver for two years to buy treasures such as cat eyes, emeralds, etc. Chen Wude submitted a memorial to stop it and angered the emperor.

Today, he was ordered to be imprisoned by the Emperor and awaiting trial. How do you think about this matter?"

Sun Jixiang and Wang Zhideng also noticed this matter today. It was not that Long Qing liked to speak loudly to the Ministry of Revenue, but that this matter had already affected Lin Weiran.

After all, Chen Wude is Lin Shiran's disciple. If the Ministry of Justice really convicted Chen Wude, who submitted a memorial and direct advice, then Lin Shiran's teacher is undoubtedly "a teaching student incompetence."

"As far as I know, this matter was adopted by the emperor because the eunuch Cui Min made an offer to buy beads. When things were blocked, Meng Chong was fanning the flames. This matter had nothing to do with the internal officials!" Jiang Ronghua was responsible for intelligence work, so

It is added next to it.

Lin Qingran held the tea lid and poured hot tea water lightly, but quietly listened to the opinions of the three of them.

Sun Jixiang and Wang Zhideng exchanged glances, secretly surprised, but they didn't expect that Jiang Ronghua knew the situation in the palace.

The two had already exchanged views on the matter in advance and reached an agreement. Sun Jixiang expressed his opinion and said, "Dongweng, according to my opinion, it is not advisable to confront the emperor because of Chen Wude alone, but you can take a step back temporarily.

Chen Wude punished him!”

As Lin Xuran slowly grasped the court, no wonder he was afraid of Longqing. Therefore, for a while, they have tried to reduce friction with Longqing.

Now Chen Wude’s memorial is a matter of reason, but if Longqing is not allowed to make such disgust, it may affect the relationship between Longqing and Lin Qingran’s monarch and ministers.

Lin Qingran nodded without comment, then took a sip of tea and looked up at Jiang Ronghua.

"In my opinion, we should fight for this matter. We can protect Chen Wude to help the emperor bewitched by the internal officials and punish loyal ministers!" Jiang Ronghua faced Lin Junran's eyes, but expressed a completely different viewpoint.

Wang Zhideng knew that Jiang Ronghua had extraordinary wisdom, but he frowned and asked: "Mr. Jiang, the gains and losses of this move are obvious. Why did you break this balance for Chen Wude alone?"

"Because now is the time to fight. If Chen Wude is successfully protected, it can also increase Dongwen's prestige in the court!" Jiang Ronghua said sincerely in the face of Wang Zhideng's doubts.

Huh?

Sun Jixiang and Wang Zhideng looked at each other, but they couldn't understand Jiang Ronghua's words. Now the court is calm, and Gao Gong is about to return to the court. Where did the opportunity come from?

Lin Xuran heard Jiang Ronghua’s implication, so he nodded gently and said, “Even, I will protect Chen Wude this time!”

this……

Sun Jixiang and Wang Zhideng couldn't help but glared, but they didn't expect that Lin Junran, who had always paid attention to avoiding Long Qing's edge, actually chose to face the challenge. This action was much beyond their expectations.

Next, the four people expressed their own different views on the situation of the southwest chieftains. When the discussion was almost done, they dispersed one after another.

Lin Weiran chose to spend the night in Hua Yingrong's room. Faced with Hua Yingrong's concern about Gao Gong's comeback, he spoke directly: "Will Gao Gong make a comeback?"

"Why?" When Hua Yingrong heard this, she immediately supported herself and said, regardless of the spring light.

Lin Weiran's eyes became deep, and he said the truth: "When Gao Suqing left, he had already said that with me and Mr. Guo, he would not need to come back again, and the comeback would destroy his Gao family.

Incense. Last year, Xu Jie left office, and Guo Pu and I wrote a letter to Gao Suqing, but Gao Suqing refused our kindness. How could it be impossible for us to really accept the olive branch of his great enemy Xu Jie this time!"

"Then why did the emperor issue this order?" Hua Yingrong frowned and said in confusion.

Lin Weiran did not answer her doubts, or she no longer had to talk more, but instead pressed Hua Yingrong under her and started doing the serious business.

The night is just right, and the full moon hangs high in the sky.

At the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall, the banquet continued, and there were also women's urging to drink.

Liu Fushan, a doctor from the Ministry of Justice, came in with a group of yamen runners, but surrounded the people present directly, while taking care of everyone present with a dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing?" Yang Baishi looked at the official rushing in and immediately asked Liu Fushan angrily.

Liu Fushan snorted coldly and said with a calm face: "Official Yang, I have just received a report that your Shanxi Merchants and Chamber of Commerce intends to make friends with palace servants and knights to plot against the emperor. Please go back with me to the Housing!"

"Don't want to swear blood here, and you can also look at it with wide eyes. Who is sitting at the table now?" President Yang denied it silently, but snorted coldly.

Liu Fushan directly noticed that his superior Wang Chonggu, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, and bowed to Wang Chonggu, "Goodbye to Wang Chonggu!"

"There is no traitor you mentioned here. Take people back!" Wang Chonggu looked at the official with contempt, but sent him with a calm face.

Seeing this, all the officials of the yamen couldn't help but look at Liu Fushan.

Liu Fushan did not mean to retreat, but said seriously: "Mr. Wang and his subordinates were also ordered to take the job. They will take them back tonight no matter what!"

"You dare! I am your superior. Who gave you the courage to fight against me?" Wang Chonggu was furious and scolded Liu Fushan angrily.

Liu Fushan's eyes were not afraid at all, but said lightly: "This time is the order of the cabinet! If Mr. Wang thinks it is inappropriate, he can question the cabinet tomorrow!"

cabinet?

When Yang Baishi and others heard this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes. The cabinet is now stronger than ever. Not to mention Wang Chonggu, a small right minister of the Ministry of Justice, even the Minister of Justice, did not have the confidence to challenge the cabinet.

this……

Wang Chonggu didn't take Liu Fushan seriously, but faced the five giants, but felt like he was being pressed by the five mountains and could not breathe.

"I'm still standing there and locking the person away!" Liu Fushan's face turned cold and he waved his hand immediately.

As the order was issued, I knew that this was the Cabinet's order, so I no longer politely locked these people directly and picked them up.

"It's over!" Shao Fang looked at the wolf-like yamen who rushed towards Suo and took her, and finally realized that she was in trouble, and couldn't help but look up sadly and said.
Chapter completed!
