Chapter 1520 Cabinet
"Do you want me to resist the order?" Zhang Juzheng's tone was a little embarrassed and angry.
"You can find a reason." Luo Xin whispered: "I missed this time. Even if those old guys come back, with your mentor here, it will be a matter of time before I can help you."
Luo Xin really thought about Zhang Juzheng that the wrong procedure for joining the cabinet would have a great impact on Zhang Juzheng's future. He did not want Zhang Juzheng, a member of the Ming Dynasty, to have many uncertainties due to his own reasons. Zhang Juzheng turned his head and looked at Luo Xin. Seeing Luo Xin's sincere expression, his sharp eyes finally showed a hint of bitterness, but then he became firm:
"I think that based on my ability, I deserve that position."
"Okay!" Luo Xin stopped persuading each other.
Zhang Juzheng clenched his fists and said, "I believe that after I enter the cabinet, as long as I do a few things, only people will remember that I, Zhang Juzheng, is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and no one will remember how I became a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet."
Luo Xin looked at Zhang Juzheng. He felt that Zhang Juzheng was in a very unstable mood at this time, so he nodded and said:
"It's good enough that Taiyue is mentally prepared, say goodbye!"
Zhang Juzheng stopped and watched Luo Xin enter the car sedan, gradually moving away, and thought to himself: "The Ming Dynasty has no regulations. If you enter the cabinet, you must be pushed shorter than the court. After entering the cabinet, everyone will compete with their abilities. As long as I am strong enough, I will definitely be able to reach the peak."
In the evening, Zhang Xun and others naturally came to Luo Mansion again. Luo Xin finally entered the cabinet and became a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He was solemn and entered the cabinet after being promoted to the court. Now he has become a first-rank official. This is worth celebrating. This is not Luo Xin's victory alone, but the victory of the entire Fuxing Society.
During the meal, he naturally looked back on the past and looked forward to the future. Hai Zheng said with a smile:
"No, you are just passing through the court and entering the cabinet. The seat must be before Zhang Juzheng. This is worth mentioning."
"A big white!"
Everyone clinked a cup, and Tao Xingyan said in a silence: "Zhang Juzheng is not a person who can easily admit defeat. This time, this special order was promoted to the cabinet. I thought he would refuse, but I didn't expect that he would accept it. I guess he was also holding back his heart and wanted to do some beautiful things in the cabinet, fight a turnaround, and surpass it."
Yun Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Juzheng is not a person in the pool. It is normal to have this idea, and he has Xu Jie's support. However, Gao Gong's support for Luo Xin is far from enough, because we and Gao Gong are only in an alliance state, and without entering the cabinet, they can be said to be dangerous step by step."
Luo Xin shook his head and smiled, "There is no way Zhang Juzheng has done so. Those old ministers who have recovered will come back. If he refuses to accept the order this time, when those old ministers come back, at least within ten years, Zhang Juzheng will have no chance to enter the cabinet, even if Xu Jie is there.
As for Zhang Juzheng holding a mind that surpasses me, it is naturally very normal. I still hold the position of the chief assistant."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed loudly today. Everyone was happy and had a passionate chat. However, thinking that Luo Xin was going to the cabinet tomorrow, everyone said goodbye and left without talking too late.
The next morning.
Luo Xin and Luo Yu and his son practiced martial arts and had breakfast. Luo Xinbian took a car sedan to Dong'anmen. At this time, a trace of whiteness appeared in the sky.
Luo Xin got out of the car and walked inside. He had just walked a few steps before he heard the sound of a car sedan behind him. He stopped and looked back. When he saw a car sedan stop, Zhang Juzheng walked down from inside.
"Mr. Luo came early!" Zhang Juzheng got off the car sedan and saw Luo Xin and greeted him with a smile.
Luo Xin also walked towards Zhang Juzheng and bowed: "I just arrived, Lord Zhang, let's go together."
Zhang Juzheng and Luo Xin were familiar with each other, so he did not formally perform the rituals. However, he still knew that his rank was not as good as Luo Xin, and although he was unwilling to admit that the person who entered the cabinet was not as good as Luo Xin who entered the cabinet through the court. Therefore, although the two of them were walking side by side, Luo Xin was walking on the left, while Zhang Juzheng was on the right. He was a little behind and highlighted Luo Xin. This is the rule in the officialdom. Even if Zhang Juzheng felt uncomfortable at this time, he had to endure it. He could not make any mistakes in etiquette, otherwise he would be seen by those who were interested and would not know etiquette and would be very harmful to his future career.
Today is the first time Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng have entered the cabinet. As the boss of the cabinet, Xu Jie naturally wants to hold a welcome ceremony. Although it will not be grand, it also gives Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng a sense of importance.
The two of them came to the Meridian Gate and took out the value card, the ivory value card. As soon as the value card was taken out, the gatekeeper knew that these two were newly promoted Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. And even if there was no value card, they knew Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng. These two people had often gone to the cabinet before. Checking the value card was just a certain procedure.
The soldiers even congratulated Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng, and several eunuchs also ran out and paid homage to the two of them with great sincerity, and expressed their guidance for the two of them.
Luo Xin originally wanted to reward some broken silver later, but Yu Guang saw that Zhang Juzheng had no intention at all. After giving this, Zhang Juzheng was not prepared, and it was not good. So he nodded, ignored the soldiers and eunuchs, and walked towards the cabinet.
"Hu..." Luo Xin let out a sigh of relief, Zhang Juzheng turned his head and asked, "What?"
"Nothing." Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I just remembered that I was going to come here before, and I still need to inform Si Shilang."
"Yes!" Zhang Juzheng raised his eyebrows: "Now we can finally go in directly."
At this time, Zhang Juzheng didn't care about the special order entering the cabinet at all. Being able to enter the cabinet is just a skill. Do you care how I got in?
When the two of them arrived at the Huiji Sect, they saw Gao Gong. Ma Fang and Yan Na were already waiting there. There were more than a dozen people behind them, all of whom were Si Shilang. Among those people, Luo Xin also saw Wang Xijue, but at this time, Luo Xin could only give a valiant tribute. Wang Xijue's eyes were full of envy.
Luo Xin took the lead and saluted Gao Gong, Ma Fang and Yan Na. Gao Gong and the other three also politely returned the salutation. Then a dozen sermons stepped forward to pay tribute to Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng, and Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng returned the salutation politely. After this, Gao Gong led everyone into the Huiji Sect.
Gao Gong led Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng into the same way, saying:
"Buqi, Taiyue, you two are familiar with each other, so I won't introduce them one by one."
