Zhang Fan now feels that his face is still very thin, and he has not practiced the kind of oil and salt that does not enter, and water and fire do not invade. Since he said that he wanted to collect this "Chagan Suya", many herdsmen would come here to trade with Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan brought a lot of cloth and tea, bricks, salt and other things, and the price to the herdsmen was fair, and the herdsmen flocked to it and even rarely blessed Zhang Fan with a very awkward Chinese "early birth of a noble son", Zhang Fan, who did not understand the voice problem at the beginning, was still very happy, and when he understood, he immediately sent a subordinate to take over the collection of things for himself.

The day after he came to Yijinai, the secret mission given to him by Longqing was almost completed. For the rest of the goods, Zhang Fan took it back for personal gain, exchanged some fine furs and prepared to take them back to make fur clothes for his mother and wife.

The day's bargaining at the Ministry of Rites was over again, and Zhang Fan asked Wang Xilie about the situation. Although they are all playing sloppy, but in the case of a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites, I seem to be a little anxious. Many of the terms of the tribute have been greatly reduced, and it seems that they have also received the news that Hannaji has arrived at the Ming court, and they want to rush to promote a mutual market. Wang Xilie immediately used the word "drag" here, and the anxious I replied frequently to Huang Taiji, and almost didn't directly tell Wang Xilie that he was my answer himself.

When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled indifferently and said: "This Tartar has raised a large army to invade my Ming Frontier many times, and now he knows that he is in a hurry." Lord Wang, you have to hang him slowly! ”

Wang Xilie was also very happy: "That's natural, let him taste the taste of being controlled by others today." But it's not a way to hang him like this, and I don't know what the reaction in the court is. ”

"I estimate that there are some knowledgeable people in the court who should propose to canonize Hannaji, but they don't want to give up and reconcile with me." Zhang Fan analyzed, "If you canonize Hannaji, I will inevitably be lonely, so it will be much easier to bargain with him." But don't force me to answer too tightly, his army of 10,000 will arrive tomorrow, in case he tears his face, we can still think about so much, it would be good to save our lives. ”

Wang Xilie also frowned deeply when he heard Zhang Fan's words, what Zhang Fan said was reasonable, if I really tore my face, although the 1,000 guards outside the city were elite soldiers, they could not defeat the army of 10,000 people.

A few people in the land of Tartary are troubled, but thousands of miles away in the capital, there is a more exciting re-enactment.

It is said that Gao Gong said that he was sick and went home to recuperate because of Xu Jie's relationship, but where could he be convinced. At home, he often contacted Guo Pu, who never showed himself in the cabinet, this high-arched fellow Zhang Fan had never met a few times, and wanted to find an opportunity to return to the cabinet.

This matter was originally urgent, but the arrival of the unexpected event made the two people who were separated from the two places feel that the opportunity had come at the same time. On the day Zhang Fan went north, an incident happened in the palace.

Since Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, he has also seemed quite sacred, but the distorted personality of his father Jiajing has rebounded sharply, and his behavior has become even more absurd. The somewhat perverted pursuit of women dragged down his body, so Zhang Fan got the task that Long Qing asked him to collect **. This is not because of how effective this cistanche is, but because Longqing has eaten too much of other **, and it is not as effective as before. That day, the imperial doctor changed the medicine, and Long Qing felt that it had some effect, so Zhang Fan would collect it.

Therefore, although Longqing has the queen of the main palace, as well as concubines and several other people, he still rapes the palace maid on a large scale. Originally, in the palace, what was not the emperor's, and the ministers below had nothing to argue. It's just that Xu Jie, relying on himself to be a veteran of the two dynasties and a hero of Yan Song, is not the one who often looks for Longqing. At first, Longqing also got a little better, but it began to become bleak again, and Xu Jie seemed to never give up. In this way, Long Qing was disgusted, just to hinder his emperor's face, after all, it was not good for this matter to spread out, but he endured it, but the more he endured it, the more it deepened his Xu Jie's disgust.

Guo Pu is also very capable, he is not anxious, Hai Rui was able to avoid death back then, and it was also thanks to Guo Pu who said a lot in front of Jiajing. It's just that he has been in officialdom for a long time, and he is the center of the whirlpool of power in the cabinet, so he has to be careful in everything. He also saw that Longqing was a little disgusted with Xu Jie, so he sent a letter to Gao Gong, who was recuperating at home, and the two discussed it and prepared to attack.

That morning, the court discussed the plans of the imperial court for this year, and everyone discussed the matter of the mutual market with me. Long Qing saw that it was almost noon, and the ministers below were all a little tired, and took out a few folds that Feng Bao specially handed to him last night. Everyone knew that there was a good show at a glance, and Long Qing took out several excerpts at once, indicating that the things to be played in these excerpts were the same. But one thing will make so many people play, the most likely is two words - impeachment, it seems that someone is going to be unlucky today, and some sleepy people immediately came to their senses.

"Yesterday, a celebrant handed over a few excerpts, you are not stupid people, and you can probably only get a few points." Long Qing said. He did not let the eunuch read it, but sent the excerpt to the hands of the cabinet and the various ministries, and let them read it on their own.

The expressions of those who are qualified to watch the excerpt are called relish, and those who are not qualified to read it are even more itchy, they are not worried that the excerpt is impeaching themselves, after all, if Longqing does this, the person who is impeached must have a big identity.

It didn't take long for Shoufu Xu Jie to stand up tremblingly, kneel in front of Long Qingming and say, "Your Majesty, this must be a deliberate slander by some villains, Your Majesty wants to be the master of the old minister!" The tone was very angry!

The matter of impeaching Xu Jie on the fold is very simple, Xu Jie was born in Songjiang Mansion, and his family is quite wealthy, not to mention thousands of acres of fertile land, and his influence is still very large. This is nothing, and it is more or less like this for officials in the DPRK and China. It's just that after Xu Jie's ascension, the family was also quite proud, and Xu Jie's was not controlled, and gradually formed a vicious force, plus the Xu family hired a lot of farmers, because Xu Jie's identity did not have to pay taxes, and he made a lot of profits. Impeached the Xu family's bullies and embezzled the land. If it is an ordinary official, or find someone to dredge it up, no one will care; Either it will be sent to Dali Temple for adjudication. It's just that Xu Jie, the head of the cabinet, is different.

This time, Gao Gong and Guo Pu launched a lot of imperial history to impeach him, and it seemed that they wanted to use the same method to retaliate against Xu Jie's actions to him. Although Xu Jie could guess some, he cared more about Longqing's meaning, he knew that Longqing was quite displeased with him, and it was possible to take this opportunity to get rid of his own obstacle, so he immediately stood up and cleared up the relationship.

"Elder Ge doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly." Long Qing said "kindly", "I am also very embarrassed about this matter. If anyone makes a false accusation, I must cure the deceit of that person when I have found out. But most of the excerpts are jointly performed by the imperial historians, which has a great impact, and I should also pay attention to it! ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been an official in the court for decades and has made countless enemies." Xu Jie is also out of the way now, after all, this matter has a lot to do with him, "This matter must have been done by a traitor." ”

"I believe in the words of the elder of the pavilion, but if this is the case, I will not ask again, then where is the prestige of the imperial court, where is my prestige? In the future, I am afraid that these imperial histories will be disheartened. The old god of Longqing said on the ground.

Xu Jie was a little speechless when he heard him say this. Long Qing brought out the big truth, Xu Jie's old face was flushed, but he couldn't speak.

Long Qing didn't want to talk nonsense with him more, and said: "The elder of the pavilion doesn't need to be anxious, at this time, I will hand it over to the Like to Zhang Qi and Dali Temple to verify the matter, and I believe that the elder will be returned to his innocence." Let's retreat. ”

In addition to the six ministries, the Ming Dynasty also set up corresponding six departments, each of which was given to the matter of only a seven-grade official, but it was led to assist the emperor in handling the government, and supervised the six departments, picketed the task of impeaching officials, and even had the right to reject the emperor's pardon, which was not small. In addition, the Ming Dynasty was very tolerant of the officials, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very uneasy about the ministers, and he gave him the rights in the imperial history and the six sections.

Everyone sent Longqing away and gradually retreated. Xu Jie stood there, but his heart was about to be cold. What kind of person is Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi and Xu Jie have grievances, and they simply hate Xu Jie. Back then, Xu Jie led the title of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Qi was an official of the Ministry of Rites, just because Xu Jie didn't like Zhang Qi, no matter how great the ability of this person was, he just didn't let him show it. Over the years, Zhang Qi has become a member of the Like Department with his qualifications and personality, although he has a lot of power, but after all, he is only a seventh-grade official, which is a shame for him who has been in the dynasty for decades. This time, if Zhang Qi is asked to cooperate with Dali Temple to investigate the case, he will not kill Xu Jie!

Zhang Juzheng looked at the back of his mentor and found that he was really old for the first time. Although he has different political views, he is his mentor after all, not to mention anything else, even this grace is also good. But Zhang Juzheng couldn't step forward to comfort him, Xu Jie's heart was arrogant, if Zhang Juzheng went to say some comforting words, it would be considered a kind of boring sympathy.

Xu Jie turned around, and with an old face, he saw Zhang Juzheng standing there. He came to Zhang Juzheng and said, "You don't have to worry about being a teacher. I am afraid that the teacher will be difficult to save this time, but he will not have to worry about his life, and he still has some weight in the eyes of His Majesty. ”

"Teacher, I'm ......" Zhang Juzheng was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xu Jie.

"You have a different opinion from the teacher, after the teacher goes into the wilderness, the only thing left in the court that can compete with you is the old thing Gao Gong, and he must be very proud at home now." Xu Jie said, "You don't have to be sad for being a teacher, you have been a teacher and an official for decades, you haven't gone through any storms, and you haven't seen any ups and downs." At that time, Yan Song's power was very strong, but he didn't let the teacher drive him down. One thing you have to remember is that you should never be grabbed by anyone. ”

Zhang Juzheng listened to his words and was very moved, after all, the relationship between teachers and students is difficult to erase. Zhang Juzheng straightened his clothes and saluted Xu Jie, but Xu Jie didn't look at him, turned around and left the hall, and his figure was quite chic.

A few days later, news came out from the imperial court that Xu Jie asked Longqing for his resignation, and Longqing did not investigate Xu Jie's problem anymore and allowed him to go home to recuperate. Xu Jiezhishi's news swept through the capital like a violent wind, and spread outward at a very fast speed. The first assistant of the Ming Dynasty is because of the old Zhishi, everyone knows that this is just a trust, but now is not the time to discuss these. The vacancy of the position of the first assistant of Xu Jie, the power vacuum in the cabinet will bring about huge changes, and the officials of the states and provinces will have to re-elect the owners. Zhang Juzheng is favored as the best choice, Longqing also admires him, and even Zhu Yijun's biological mother Li Guifei and Bingbi eunuch Feng Bao often speak well for Zhang Juzheng. However, what no one expected was that Zhang Juzheng took the initiative to propose a candidate to Longqing, asking Longqing to reactivate the high arch who was recuperating at home.

The whole court and even Longqing himself were surprised, now Gao Gong's reinstatement of the cabinet is certain, but he may not be able to take over the post of first assistant, Zhang Juzheng is now in the middle of his reputation, why would he resign, but instead promoted Gao Gong, who has a gap with himself. Zhang Juzheng said to the outside world that it was because of his mentor Xu Jiezhishi, he was depressed and could not be qualified for the position of first assistant, but where would anyone believe this, and Zhang Juzheng did not explain much, leaving it to everyone to speculate.

At this time, Zhang Fan, who was far away in the north, was worrying about the problem of Tatar with Wang Xilie and others, and he did not know anything about the great changes in the capital. He didn't know that his biggest obstacle had been removed so easily. Sometimes history is so simple that chance and necessity complement each other and are difficult to grasp. It's just that now Zhang Fan has no time to sigh even if he knows the news in the capital, he has encountered a tricky thing, and he has seen a figure that should not be seen in this northern land!
