Gao Gong's face darkened and said, "So, do you agree that those eunuchs will control the military power?"

"Of course not!" Gao Gong suddenly raised his voice and said, "I have been in charge of troops for many years. Those eunuchs know how to lead troops. If they hadn't been taking power in the army, how could the Ming army be so decayed?"

Gao Gong's face slowed down and he looked at Yan Na and Zhang Juzheng. Yan Na still looked like a good man, but he followed Luo Xin's words:

"Should you decide everything."

Gao Gong was a little depressed. He was still a little famous in the literary world, especially this time, successfully driving Xu Jie away, which made his reputation in the literary world a leap forward. However, he really had no fame in the army. In the Ming Dynasty and the cabinet, two of the three famous people in the army sat in front of him, one was Luo Xin and the other was Ma Fang.

In terms of major issues, Gao Gong was able to give up the suppression and exclusion of Luo Xin in his heart. However, when he saw Luo Xin performing an indifferent expression, he sighed in his heart, knowing that he was suppressing and excluding Luo Xin, which was a kind of resistance and counterattack. But he still tried his best and said:

"This unhealthy trend must be banned, and we cannot let the Zhengde Rebellion reappear."

Luo Xin felt Gao Gong's eyes look over, but he still drooped his eyelids and pretended not to see it at all. Gao Gong sighed in his heart, knowing that this matter was not forcibly pressed on Luo Xin's head. Luo Xin was in charge of the Ministry of Works, and the affairs of the Ministry of War belonged to Ma Fang, and he was the chief minister and the general manager. Luo Xin had sufficient reasons to refuse, and he and Ma Fang would gain a reputation for incompetence. He then looked at Ma Fang and said:

"Mr. Ma, you are in charge of military affairs, so let me leave this matter to you."

Ma Fang's face showed bitterness and said, "If it was simply a matter of the military, no matter how difficult it was, I could handle it properly. But this is related to the inner court. You also know that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been forced to pretend to be sick at home by the eunuchs, and the Minister of the Ministry of Works has been forced to almost retire and return home by the eunuchs."

Speaking of this, Ma Fang sighed and said, "This is not something that can be handled at all, but His Majesty protects the eunuchs without any reason. What do you want me to deal with?"

Gao Gong felt helpless and mixed with anger at Ma Fang, saying, "Do you, the Minister of War, just watch the military power fall into the hands of the eunuch?"

Ma Fang pondered for a moment with a bitter face and said, "Old Master Ge, I can't handle this alone, so you might as well ask someone to help me."

"Who are you invited?" Gao Gong's eyes lit up: "As long as you can solve the problem in the military, I will ask you if you ask."

Gao Gong knew very well in his heart that no matter who Ma Fang invited or what conditions that person needed, he would agree. As long as he did not let him rush forward and had a conflict with His Majesty directly.

"Mr. Luo!" said Ma Fang.

Gao Gong's face changed slightly, but before he could speak, Luo Xin spoke first:

"Mr. Ma, this is your business. Didn't you harm me? It's legitimate to be in charge of the Ministry of War and intervene in the Fifth Military Camp. But the Ministry of Works in charge of me asked me to intervene in the military. Isn't this causing trouble for me?

You also know how terrible those eunuchs are. Even if I am His Majesty’s teacher, I can’t resist the eunuchs talking about my right and wrong in front of His Majesty every day. Have you heard of three people becoming tigers, right?"

Gao Gong was a little hesitant at first. He knew that if he insisted on Luo Xin's participation, Luo Xin might not not participate, but he would definitely put forward conditions. But now Gao Gong can't care about these things now. He is not afraid of Luo Xin's requirements, but he is afraid that Luo Xin will not care about it.

As Ma Fang said, Luo Xin had a higher influence in the army than Ma Fang, and Luo Xin had a close relationship with Emperor Longqing, so he said:

"Mr. Luo, although you are in charge of the Ministry of Works, you are also an important official in the cabinet. This matter still needs Master Luo to stand up."

Luo Xin shook his head and said with a sad face: "Gei Master, you also know that I am now carrying out the Ministry of Works reform..."

"I'll give you 500,000 taels of silver."

Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said, "Gei Master, this reform!"

"One million taels, no more."

Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Give me a piece of land, I want to build a college."

"You want to build a college?" Gao Gong was surprised.

"Well, but it's not the academy in the Ming Dynasty today, it's not mainly for the imperial examinations, but for the science and technology."

"Just teach those strange tricks and tricks?"

"You... say so, just do you." Luo Xin's face showed helplessness. The scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were all despised by the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Gong's eyes turned around. Luo Xin wanted to play big things and wanted to build a college for those strange tricks. I'm afraid he would be sweared to death by Shilin. Haha... This is my chance to drive Luo Xin out of the cabinet. I immediately made a decision:

"Okay, but there is no land in the city, only outside the city. I'll find it for you. What will be solved for you today?"

"Thank you, Master," Luo Xin said with a smile on his face: "I will assist Lord Ma."

"You are the main thing in this matter, after all, you are the second auxiliary to the cabinet." Gao Gongning said in a voice.

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "I am the master of the matter, it is not right. Master Ma is in charge of the Ministry of War. Don't worry, Master. If you don't have any tools, you must do your best."

"Okay!" Gao Gong finally agreed.

After the meeting, Luo Xin went to Ma Fang's duty room and studied with Ma Fang for a whole morning. In the afternoon, Luo Xin came to the Ministry of Works. When Luo Xin heard that Luo Xin came, the Minister of Works Lin Yuntong welcomed him. The two entered Lin Yuntong's duty room. Luo Xin asked Lin Yuntong to call Zhou Yu. After the three of them sat down, Luo Xin said:

"Mr. Lin, I have always advocated the reform of the Ministry of Works. I know you oppose it, but this reform must be implemented."

Lin Yuntong looked down on craftsmen, especially those who came from a magistrate like him. But now he is the Minister of Works and wants to do something. Otherwise, he would not have defected to Xu Jie. Now Xu Jie is retiring and returning home. Before leaving, he lets them keep a low profile, and wait for Gao Gong and Luo Xin to fight, and they will benefit and support Zhang Juzheng.

However, Lin Yuntong, Ge Shouli, Wang Guoguang and others are really different. The difference is that he has always been an imperial envoy. After he was restored, he served as the Minister of Works. Therefore, the imperial envoy has very strong traces, which means he has a strong reputation and morale. To put it bluntly, it means that he is very idealized. Besides, he is a very vulgar, and that is, he is a very middle school second-year patient with a very high grade.

Therefore, he also disliked Xu Jie in his heart. Although he was grateful for Xu Jie's resurgence, it would definitely not work if he wanted to be Xu Jie's lackey. In this way, he was not so angry with Luo Xin and Gao Gong. Instead, he still had some appreciation for Gao Gong and Luo Xin.
