The food in the kitchen was very good, no less than a big restaurant. Six people sat around, ate and chatted. They were busy all morning and then relaxed.

Luo Xin silently observed the people present, but Zhang Juzheng didn't have to observe them. They were newcomers like him. What he wanted to observe were Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Ma Fang and Yan Na.

He rarely speaks strictly, which is in line with his neutral duty. No matter who speaks, he can simply fit a few words. Even if Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng occasionally speak, even if they don't, they can give him a smile.

Ma Fang obviously followed Gao Gong, which means that at this table, there were actually two heroes. Luo Xin was too weak here and could not be considered a hero. One of these two heroes was Xu Jie and the other was Gao Gong.

Maybe it was Xu Jie's personality, maybe it was Xu Jie who was already sitting in the prime minister. Xu Jie was much silent compared to Gao Gong, who was talking nonsense. He just said a few words occasionally and spent most of his time attentively eating. He finished his meal in less than a quarter of an hour and got up and left.

Looking at Xu Jie's departure back, Gao Gong's face showed an excited smile, and he did not hide his complacentness. Everyone present knew what was going on and thought to himself that Gao Gong should be proud.

Emperor Longqing returned to meet the six pavilions and praised his former teachers, Gao Gong, Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng, but he did not call him the teacher. Is it necessary to say that this high ground is far and near?

How could this make Xu Jie, the chief minister of the cabinet, feel?

Emperor Longqing almost pointed at his nose and told everyone that this is a traitor and I no longer recognize him as my teacher.

"It seems that Emperor Longqing also has the intention to drive Xu Jie out of the cabinet!"

Sure enough, Gao Gong seemed to have also understood Emperor Longqing's thoughts. Since then, when facing Xu Jie, he has often become rude, and sometimes he has not even even had the surface politeness.

How can such a situation not cause a fierce conflict?

So, in less than a month, a fierce conflict finally broke out.

Because Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng successfully piloted the One Whip, the One Whip has now begun to be implemented nationwide. Luo Xin was very tactfully allowed the position of the person who was promoted nationwide, saying that he had just entered the cabinet and was still in the learning stage and was not responsible for specific matters.

Gao Gong and Xu Jie just met for a while and decided to still divide the north and south. As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie was naturally responsible for the general. This point is that even the proud Gao Gong cannot compete for now. The position of the chief assistant must be the general responsible. Then there is the question of who will be responsible for the north and south.

Because the pilot project that Zhang Juzheng was in charge of was in the south, Xu Jie proposed to hand over the south to Zhang Juzheng and hand over the north to Gao Gong.

Gao Gong was very unhappy and asked himself and Zhang Juzheng to be responsible for one side and one side. Wouldn't this bring himself and Zhang Juzheng to the same level?

Isn’t this humiliating me?

However, he could not disagree. Could it be that he would give all the credit to Xu Jie?

To whom?

In theory, it is most appropriate to hand it over to Luo Xin.

Luo Xin did the original Northern pilot project, and it was very successful. Moreover, Luo Xin's status in the cabinet was equal to that of Zhang Juzheng.

However, Gao Gong didn't want to.

Although Gao Gong and Luo Xin are in the alliance state, it is also this alliance state that makes Gao Gong very dissatisfied. If Luo Xin expresses his complete resignation to Gao Gong and becomes a member of Gao Gong's camp, there will definitely be no problem and it will be left to Luo Xin to take responsibility.

But, it's a pity that's not!

This is what we need to be wary of Luo Xin getting bigger.

He knew very well that the political enemy in front of him was Xu Jie, and the future political enemy was likely Luo Xin. Therefore, the relationship between him and Luo Xin was very delicate. He could cooperate with Luo Xin and, when necessary, he could also give Luo Xin a hand. For example, elect Luo Xin to the cabinet. However, he should also be advised at any time to suppress Luo Xin and not allow him to grow too fast. Moreover, Luo Xin also said that he did not want to be responsible for a whip, and said that he should calm down and study hard in the cabinet. At this time, he would still hand him a whip, which would mean that no one would use it?

It's not possible to be strict.

Yan Na has always expressed that he is neutral. Who knows if he is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight and ultimately wants to start his own business?

After thinking about it, I had to leave it to Ma Fang.

But, can Ma Fang do it?

Anyway, if you can't go into battle yourself, you're really in the same position as Zhang Juzheng. So, in the end, Gao Gong handed over a whip to Ma Fang to take charge of the north.

He also reminded Ma Fang that if you have any unknown things, you can discuss them with him at any time. He thought so. Ma Fang was just the representative of his withdrawal, and he was the one who finally grasped the matter.

But, something happened in the end.

However, this incident not only occurred in the south, but also in the north.

The person who discovered this problem was Yan Na. Yesterday, Yan Na received a memorial from the Tongzheng Department to impeach governors from all over the country.

good!

It is the governor of Where, covering almost all state prefectures.

This matter is serious and serious. So Yan Na, who is responsible for the review, immediately reported to Xu Jie.

"Mr. Xu, these memorials have been received in two days, and there have been sixteen copies. Those who impeached are all governors from all over the country. The matter is very important. I would like to ask the Prime Minister to discuss the ruling of them with all the cabinet masters."

Zhang Juzheng's face changed, but Luo Xin looked calm. After entering the cabinet, he gave up a whip and lost any specific responsibility. Xu Jie's words were to let him and Zhang Juzheng get out of specific affairs and learn the overall view of dealing with problems as soon as possible. So what they had to do was learn.

As for Zhang Juzheng being responsible for the specific affairs of a whip, Luo Xin is not responsible, it is because you, Luo Xin, gave in.

"Why impeachment?" Xu Jie looked up at Yan Na.

"Isn't this a whip that needs to convert all taxes, taxes, labor, etc. into money and hand over. But almost all the money submitted in various places is Baochao. The government will naturally not collect it, but only copper coins. The chief minister should know, where did there be so many copper coins in the Ming Dynasty? Moreover, since the treasure money was issued by the imperial court, the court should admit it. This rejection further caused the money shortage and the depreciation of Baochao."

The room couldn't help but feel silent. After a while, Gao Gong said: "This treasure banknote should have been abolished."

"That's the case." Yan Na smiled bitterly: "But before a whip, the court did not announce the abolition of the treasure banknotes, and it is not appropriate to refuse to accept it now."

Ma Fang said on the side: "Even if the treasure banknote is abolished, the Ming Dynasty did not have so many copper coins. The promotion of a whip now seems to cause a shortage of money."

Xu Jie looked at Luo Xin and said, "Luo Xin, you are an advocate of a whip. What are the solutions to the money shortage?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it yet. I didn't encounter this problem during the pilot."
