Zhang Juzheng was silent. After a moment, he stood up and said, "I'll go and ask him."

Xu Jie shook his head slightly, then sighed and said, "It doesn't matter whether you ask or not, it's just that this road is not working. We must come up with a new solution as soon as possible."

Zhang Juzheng nodded, turned around and left. He returned to the duty room and opened the door. He saw Luo Xin sitting there reading the copywriting. He closed the door, sat opposite Luo Xin, and looked at Luo Xin and said:

"No, you did Baochao, right?"

"Are you blaming me?" Luo Xin raised his head and asked faintly.

"If you do this, I will be very passive." Zhang Juzheng was a little angry.

"If you haven't thought about implementing the new treasure money, you will not be passive at all. If you are ready to implement it, do you think I will agree?"

"……………” Zhang Juzheng remained silent.

Luo Xin said seriously: "I will not agree to any measures that are unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty. You cannot be scruples because your status is threatened. You enter the cabinet not to enter the cabinet, but to revive the Ming Dynasty. I hope you will not forget your original intention."

night.

Luo Xin returned to the mansion and was in a bad mood. He always valued and respected Zhang Juzheng very much. But today's incident made Luo Xin feel uncomfortable. Zhang Juzheng's mentality has changed. For his own position, he can do anything, which makes Luo Xin difficult to accept.

"Not a tool!"

As soon as he walked into the gate, he heard Zhang Xun's voice coming from behind. He stopped and waited for a while, and then walked side by side with Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun lowered his voice and said:

"No, guess who did I see just now?"

"who?"

"Zhao Zhenji."

"He's back?" Luo Xin frowned slightly, his expression even worse.

"Yes." Zhang Xun nodded and said, "Does this mean that all the old guys are coming back one after another?"

"Yes. But Zhao Zhenji came too quickly."

Luo Xin's brows gradually became tight, changed the direction to the flower hall, and headed towards the study in the back garden. Entered the study, took off his official uniform, and changed into casual clothes. At this time, a maid had already brought the tea up and then retreated. Luo Xin sat there, still frowned.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xun looked at Luo Xin and said, "Is Zhao Zhenji's return to Beijing for any special purpose?"

"The purpose must be, otherwise you don't need to be so anxious to return to Beijing alone, you can come back together with the flow."

"That's right." Zhang Xun nodded and slowly frowned. He thought while saying, "No, this Zhao Zhenji is Xu Dang?"

"Um!"

m     "Zhao Zhenji is also a great scholar. If Xu Jie had not asked him to go to Beijing, he would not have been so anxious to go to Beijing. It seems that he is an official fan, which is not enough to embarrass him."

The expression on Luo Xin's face suddenly became even more ugly. Zhang Xun was still talking and thinking. He suddenly saw Luo Xin's face becoming ugly, and asked:

"What did you think of?"

Luo Xin nodded and said, "I am currently serving as the Minister of Rites."

Zhang Xun's face changed and said, "Did Xu Jie go to the Minister of Rites?"

"Well, as long as Zhao Zhenji comes back, both public and private, and in terms of emotion and reason, he should take over the Minister of Rites."

Zhang Xun's face also became ugly and said, "Xu Jie's interest in this Minister of Rites is not the Minister of Rites, but the competition for next year."

"Yes!" Luo Xin took a sip of tea with some depression: "The competition work will officially begin in February. Once it starts, there will be no change in the person in charge. So, at that time, as the Minister of Rites, I will naturally be the examiner of the examination. Xu Jie was so anxious to find Zhao Zhenji, probably because he wanted to pick my peaches and prevent me from participating in the competition next year."

"It's so scheming!" Zhang Xun's face turned dark: "This is an excellent opportunity for you to expand your influence without any help. You can't just give up."

"No wonder he calls him Lao Yin, it's really Yin! If you don't have a rank, you can't give up this position. At least this rank cannot be given up. Xu Jie has gathered a group of forces by restoring his old ministers. It can be said that he has the present. If Zhao Zhenji is allowed to become the Minister of Rites and preside over this rank, the Jinshi of this rank will be Zhao Zhenji's students. In this way, all future officials will be under Xu Jie's control. These people will definitely gather around Zhang Juzheng under the arrangement of Xu Jie. It's difficult for you to move forward without a rank."

Zhang Xun looked at Luo Xin with a serious expression and said word by word: "So, no matter what, this time, I can't let you go."

"I know!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "It's just that this matter is very difficult to do. Now I work part-time in the cabinet, which is me and Zhang Juzheng, and the cabinet has unspoken rules, so part-time work is not allowed. So it's hard for me to object to whether it's reasonable."

"That Zhang Juzheng..."

"Zhang Juzheng is eager to resign as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so he can throw away the money shortage. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng cannot talk about the matter."

The two fell into silence.

Sure enough, the next day, Xu Jie reported to Emperor Longqing, asking Zhao Zhenji to restore his post. Emperor Longqing was still thinking about Luo Xin. Even if he was not in tune with the rules, he knew what the year of the Great Pian meant to the Minister of Rites, so he said to Xu Jie:

"Now the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is empty, let Zhao Zhenji go to the Ministry of Revenue."

How could Xu Jie agree to this?

He still left that position for Zhang Juzheng, otherwise why did he keep the Minister of Revenue empty?

Zhang Juzheng's qualifications were too shallow, and he entered the cabinet as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It was not promoted by the court, but the emperor's special order to enter the cabinet. If Zhang Juzheng wants to become the chief minister of the cabinet in the future, he must increase Zhang Juzheng's background little by little to make up for his shortcomings. To enhance Zhang Juzheng as the Minister of Revenue is a measure to increase his background and make up for his shortcomings. Even if Zhang Juzheng is just to be the Minister of Revenue for one year, then resign as the Minister of Revenue and concentrate on the cabinet.

In other words, Xu Jie did not let Zhang Juzheng occupy the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but had to have this process. If Zhao Zhenji was allowed to become Minister of the Ministry of Revenue at this time, what should Zhang Juzheng do?

So Xu Jie immediately said to Emperor Longqing: "Your Majesty, this year's responsibilities for the Ministry of Rites are too heavy. As the Minister of Rites, he must prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the Crown Prince. In the year of the competition, he must preside over the national talent ceremony and prepare for the ceremony of the imperial court. Lord Luo has now entered the cabinet, and the matters in the cabinet are very heavy. This way, Lord Luo runs away from both sides, and he cannot do without a full-time Minister of Rites. Zhao Zhenji was originally the Minister of Rites, and he was familiar with all the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites. He made him concentrate on arresting the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, which could also reduce the burden on Lord Luo. Focus on the cabinet."
