In the early morning, the morning sun sprinkles on the palace complex of Xiyuan, making it beautiful here.

With the opening of the palace gate, people have come and gone one after another, naturally most of them are palace people, but there will also be some officials. Because the saint is obsessed with cultivating mysteries, most of the people who enter the palace gate are cabinet members or ministers.

But I saw an official following a little yellow man, holding an 800-mile urgent report of the Ministry of War and going straight to the cabinet, and soon this report of the Ministry of War was transmitted to the Wanshou Palace through the eunuch.

Generally speaking, the saint is still lazy in bed at this time. But Jiajing is different from the real faint king, and for major affairs, he has always advocated notifying him as soon as possible.

After learning the news, the entire Wanshou Palace seemed to come to life.

Huang Jin took the palace maid and the little eunuch in and out of the thick curtain, and soon the thick curtain was pulled open, and the three ministers of the cabinet were also summoned.

Except for Yan Song, who lives in the palace all the year round, the other two ministers only entered the palace at the end of the day.

Xu Jie, because he has the name of the secretary of the ministry, happened to have some things in the ministry, but he went to the ministry to get to the cabinet, and he was inexplicably summoned here.

It just made him slightly confused, what kind of good thing it was to let the Holy Lord get up so early. But I don't know which local official has collected auspicious rui again, or who has offered Taoist scriptures, or found some panacea.

Just as he was still making all kinds of speculations, he saw the saint wearing a plain white Taoist robe walk to the front of the case, and laughed heartily: "Okay! Good! What a Lin Ruoyu! It was really a big surprise to me, I actually suppressed 3,000 people, and I really was a good minister of the Ming Dynasty! ”

This......

When Xu Jie heard the news, he was immediately shocked and inexplicable, and even suspected that something was wrong with his ears for a while.

You must know that Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, captured more than 700 people in Chaozhou at the end of last year, which was the biggest victory of Wang Fang since he took office.

And now, Lin Haoran has exterminated 3,000 people, what a great achievement, and the limelight has been overshadowed by Wang Fang.

"This is thanks to the original saint's discernment and insight, and he personally ordered Lin Wenkui! It is the cause of the past that has the fruit of today, and this is the work of the saints! As soon as the words fell, Lu Ben slapped a sycophant.

Lü Ben's official name was actually Li Ben, because Xinchang registered his household registration when he moved to Yuyao, and the local scribe heard "Lü" as "Li", so he was mistakenly naturalized by the surname Lü as the surname Li, and he became Li Ben inexplicably.

Lu Ben was a jinshi in the eleventh year of Jiajing, and was elected as a Shujishi, and entered the cabinet in February of the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, three years earlier than Xu Jie. It's just that Xu Jie, nine years earlier than him, went to the department with Tanhua, and Jiajing preferred Xu Jie's green words, so he gave up the position of second assistant.

It's just that there is never a shortage of fighting in the officialdom, even the officials who were assigned to Nanjing for retirement are bent on returning to the capital, and he is still in the cabinet, so he naturally retains that ambition.

In the same way, he always regarded Xu Jie as his biggest competitor. Although his qualifications and strength are inferior to Xu Jie, if he can get the support of the Yan family, he may not be able to surpass Xu Jie's position to become the new first assistant.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Jie's face immediately became unsightly.

In the past, when Enke took the exam, as the chief reading officer, he did a foolish thing, and even excluded Lin Haoran, who was five yuan in the company, from the candidate for the top prize.

It's just such a coincidence, Zhan Shixue and Yan Shifan of Zhan Shifu had a dispute over a volume, and the two had fist and foot friction, and finally got into trouble with the saint.

As a result, the saint was also curious about what kind of scroll could have such a disagreement, which made the two ministers look at each other with fists and feet, so they asked to come and take a look.

Who would have thought that after the saint saw this volume, he ignored the twelve copies presented, and ordered this volume as the champion volume on the spot, and when he opened the seal and took a look, he immediately stunned everyone.

It was this farce, and it was this coincidence that caused the Holy Father to point out Lin Liuyuan, and Daming was also the first champion who even won six yuan, creating a good story that can be passed down through the ages.

But in this good story, Xu Jie's position is undoubtedly embarrassing, and he has been jokingly called "having eyes but not knowing gold and jade" behind his back. In last year's palace examination, he was directly squeezed by Lu Ben, and the position of chief reading officer was also transferred to Lu Ben.

Now the more beautiful Lin Haoran is, the more prominent his political achievements are, which is undoubtedly a contrast to his lack of eyes.

"Hehe, hand-picking Lin Wenkui's matter is actually the will of heaven!" After Jiajing heard Lu Ben's sycophancy, he was in a good mood.

It's been two years, but it's still fresh in his memory. After unsealing the test paper, and knowing from Huang Jin's mouth that Lin Haoran had won five yuan before, he had a strong sense of joy at that time when he won the big lottery.

Lu Ben's sycophant undoubtedly patted Jiajing's heart, and Jiajing added in a good mood: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things!" That's amazing! ”

Lu Ben looked at the Shengshang's reaction so excitedly, but he couldn't help but glance at Xu Jie next to him with some pride. In the past two years, using Lin Haoran to squeeze Xu Jie, it has been a tried and tested move, and Xu Jie's reputation of "having eyes but no beads" may not be washed away.

Xu Jie was a person who was good at forbearance, and although he was so squeezed by Lu Ben, he stood there silently, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

The trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop.

Lu Ben was already willing to become the vanguard of the Yan Party, but he continued to attack: "Shengshang, although Guangdong has annihilated 3,000 Japanese invaders this time, Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, still has done nothing. It has been more than three years since he took office, but the trouble in Liangguang is becoming more and more serious, and the uprisings in the Liangguang area are endless. ”

"Elder Lu Ge, although the trouble in Guangdong is becoming more and more serious, the matter has already been decided in the court, and it is all because of the fault of the governor of Fujian. What does it mean to veto the outcome of the court meeting today? Xu Jie is not the kind of person who is good at arguing, but it is related to his own interests, and he immediately retorted solemnly.

Lu Ben had already thought of what he said, and immediately said loudly: "The governor of Fujian is responsible, but Wang Fang can't be without fault. If not, why did Wang Fu take charge of the two vast forces and never achieve anything, but Lin Wenkui moved two guards and annihilated him? ”

"Elder Lu Ge, if you really want to be blamed, Yan Rudou, the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Patrol Sea Patrol in charge of maritime affairs, is really incompetent, and his crime is unforgivable for the Japanese to smoothly approach Guangzhou City from the Pearl River!" Xu Jie, however, is attacking and defending the tunnel.

"Now I'm talking to you about whether Wang Fu can be qualified for the post of governor of Liangguang, but you are arguing with Yan Rudou, which is obviously deliberately changing the topic!" Lu Ben did not give in.

Yan Song, who was sitting on the embroidery pier, coughed heavily, but said leisurely: "You two don't say a word!" The Holy One announced that I was waiting to come, not to watch us quarrel! ”

Jiajing's face is really not good-looking, why he is reluctant to go to court, he doesn't like to get up early is a reason, and he hates this kind of endless dispute the most. However, what made him feel relieved was that Yan Song still understood his mind best.

After a pause, he spoke: "Your cabinet will draw up a list of rewards as soon as possible to reward those who have made meritorious contributions!" Also, do you have any suggestions on how to reward Lin Haoran? ”
