Chapter 1517 Before entering the cabinet

"The wood is so beautiful that the wind will destroy it!" Luo Xin said lightly: "So I won't participate in the national promotion."

Zhang Juzheng said bitterly, "You can get out of here leisurely, but I can't. I need these credits."

“Then do it.”

Zhang Juzheng looked at Luo Xin with emotion and said, "Will you hand over the promotion to Gao Gong's people?"

"Haha..." Luo Xin laughed and said nothing.

Zhang Juzheng gave Luo Xin a thumbs up and said, "You let Gao Gong owe you a favor again."

Luo Xin stood up straight, looked at Zhang Juzheng seriously and said, "Taiyue, let me say a few heartfelt words to you today."

Zhang Juzheng also became serious and said, "Please speak."

"As long as everyone has the same goals, I think it is better to share the benefits equally. As the saying goes, it is better to enjoy everyone than to enjoy it alone."

Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment and said, "Just like you and me?"

"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded seriously and said, "Your mentor is Xu Jie. You also know the grudges between Xu Jie and me. But we cooperate the same way. As long as the purpose of this cooperation is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, who gets more this time, and who will get less next time, can be negotiated."

Zhang Juzheng left with thoughts. As soon as Zhang Juzheng left, Tao Xingyan and Chen Yiqin entered Luo Xin's room one after another. Now Chen Yiqin also made a letter of fame. Although Luo Xin could not trust him as much as Tao Xingyan, he could still drive him out after he came. Therefore, he was also warmly entertained. With Chen Yiqin, Tao Xingyan and Luo Xin could not say something, so he just discussed some matters of the Ministry of Rites. After discussing for a while, while everyone was drinking tea, he did not expect Chen Yiqin to suddenly speak:

"Sir, you have no problem entering the cabinet, right?"

When Chen Yiqin spoke, Tao Xingyan, who had not wanted to talk about it, couldn't help but get serious and looked at Luo Xin and said:

"No, how sure are you to pass the court?"

Luo Xin thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem."

Chen Yiqin said worriedly: "What if Xu Jie's people don't vote for you?"

"It shouldn't be!" Luo Xin shook his head slightly.

"Why?" This time, Chen Yiqin and Tao Xingyan asked together. It is justified that the relationship between Luo Xin and Xu Jie is not voting for Luo Xin. Where does Luo Xin get confidence?

"Because..." Luo Xin was also a little uncertain: "If Xu Jie wants Zhang Juzheng to enter the cabinet, he must let me enter the cabinet."

Tao Xingyan and Chen Yiqin nodded. In their opinion, Zhang Juzheng's qualification to enter the cabinet is much worse than Luo Xin. If Zhang Juzheng is allowed to enter the cabinet without Luo Xin entering, this court push would be a joke.

"But even so, Zhang Juzheng may not be able to enter the cabinet." Chen Yiqin frowned and said, "Xu Jie can push you into the cabinet, but what about Zhang Juzheng? Will Gao Gong's people elect him? If Xu Jie just pushes you into the cabinet, and Zhang Juzheng in the end, he will not enter the cabinet. Isn't he busy? Unless Xu Jie and you, you, Gao Ge, have made a deal."

Luo Xin shook his head slowly and said, "There is no transaction."

"In this way, Xu Jie is preparing to take another path," Tao Xingyan said with a frown.

"Are you talking about a special order?" Luo Xin also reacted and his brows frowned.

Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng entered the cabinet, but did not become cabinet elders. Their qualifications were not enough. They entered the cabinet and became cabinet grandsons. There were two ways to become cabinet grandsons. One way was to promote the court, and the other way was to the emperor bypass the ministers, without having to promote the court, and issued an order to appoint the grandsons.

However, it is rare for the emperor to issue an order. It is not that the emperor does not want to issue an order, but that the ministers do not want it from the bottom of their hearts.

Becoming a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet through court will be considered as upright, and taking the right path, and being respected by all officials. Being a Grand Secretary of the Special Order will be considered as not the Right Path, but the gain of being a charmer. Being despised by all officials will become a stain on an official's life. Therefore, some officials would rather not be promoted than accept the emperor's special order.

Luo Xin now understood a little. Xu Jie did not want to directly pass himself and Zhang Juzheng to become a cabinet grandson in the court, but wanted to pull himself into the water. Like Zhang Juzheng, he could not pass the court grandson. Then he was a good person and asked Emperor Longqing to issue a special order to allow himself and Zhang Juzheng to enter the cabinet and become a university grandson.

Luo Xin was in a bad mood immediately. This kind of special promotion was really full of hidden dangers. After thinking about Zhang Juzheng's temperament, he asked:

"Do you think Zhang Juzheng can accept this result?"

"He has no choice!" Chen Yiqin said: "Besides he is a little older than his adults, his remaining qualifications are a thousand miles apart from those of his adults. After missing this opportunity, the old ministers who have recovered will come back. I am afraid he will never have the chance to waste his whole life. Therefore, although this road is not well-known, he has to go. He just wants to take the adults and be despised."

"This Xu Jie...hey..."

Luo Xin really felt Xu Jie's power. If he really embarked on the road to entering the cabinet, he would have many hidden dangers if he wanted to become the chief minister of the cabinet in the future.

"Sir..." Tao Xingyan and Chen Yiqin's faces were also full of worries.

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "If the soldiers come and generals come and block the water and soil, if they cannot enter the pavilion upright, then I will not enter."

What is the most attractive thing in Beijing now and what is the most talked about?

Tingtui.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie, recommended by Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin, recommended by Gao Gong, the second assistant of the cabinet.

Who would join the cabinet of these two people?

Or, whether two people can join the cabinet together will be the focus of all officials.

Luo Xin went to the palace and walked around the imperial garden with Emperor Longqing. During the walk, the guards and eunuchs were at a distance, so no one knew what Luo Xin and Emperor Longqing were talking about.

Luo Xin's actions attracted the attention of all officials, but they couldn't say anything, because everyone knew the relationship between Luo Xin and Emperor Longqing. Luo Xin went to the palace to see Emperor Longqing. The two of them were walking around the Imperial Garden, and no one could say that they could not. However, before the court recommended, people could not avoid attention.

Tingtui finally began, and the final result was as expected by Luo Xin and the others. Neither he nor Zhang Juzheng had half of the votes, and Zhang Juzheng's votes were two higher than Luo Xin.

The result of the Tingtui was sent to the palace, and soon Feng Bao came out to inform him that the Majesty of the Dingtui would discuss with the ministers tomorrow morning.

Xu Jie was not calm, and he knew the tricks about it better than anyone else. He was to suppress Luo Xin and pull Luo Xin to the same level as Zhang Juzheng, and then asked Emperor Longqing to issue a special order to promote Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng into the cabinet. Entering the cabinet with this special order, Luo Xin was inherently weak, and it would be much easier to suppress him in the cabinet in the future.
