The next day.

Gao Gong didn't go to work, not pretending to be sick, but really sick.

From almost controlling the cabinet and leaning towards the government and the opposition, to losing grace and authority in an instant. This made the unwilling Gao Gong sick.

As a result, the cabinet returned to Xu Jie's hands. The officials who had left were cheeky and came back. Surrounded by Xu Jie. And not only that, some officials in Gao Gong and Luo Xin's camp also switched to Xu Jie's camp. There are even quite a few officials who are wavering and watching.

High-arched bedrooms.

Listening to Wang Xijue's reports to him, Gao Gong, who was lying on the bed, was so angry that his chest rose and fell. Cold Voice:

"The old man is not dead yet!"

"Take care, sir!" Wang Xijue said softly.

Gao Gong waved his hand irritably, pondered for a moment, and said: "Go, inform me to go down, let me press down on the state capitals and military camps in various places that ask for money, and ask the court for money every day." The more serious the matter, the better, I want to see where Xu Jie got the money to rebuild the Yuxi Palace? If he can't rebuild the Yuxi Palace on time, it will be up to him to explain to His Majesty. ”

"Yes!" Wang Xijue nodded lightly and said, "My lord, there is one more thing, now that the palace examination has ended, you are the chief examiner of this subject, and you are the seat teacher of those jinshi." In the next few days, your students will come to see you. ”

Gao Gong doesn't care about waving his hand, these new Kejin scholars don't pay attention to Gao Gong at all. Of the thousands of officials in the capital, which one is not from a Jinshi?

What's more, ninety percent of these jinshi are going to leave the capital and go to the local government as officials, how many people can return to the capital as officials in this life? is no longer an official in the capital, is it necessary for Gao Gong to pay attention to them?

Even if you stay in the capital and enter the Hanlin Academy to study, a few years later, you will be a Hanlin official. There is no power, that is, an idle person, and even a lifetime of leisure until retirement, this is the so-called poor Beijing official. Only a very small number of people will seize the few opportunities to fight their way out of the single-plank bridge and become a member of the DPRK and China. But that's something that won't happen until a long time in the future.

Now these people who have just become Jinshi, not to mention in the eyes of cabinet assistants like Gao Gong, even in the eyes of ordinary Beijing officials, are not even fart.

Therefore, Gao Gong just said lightly: "Let's just say that the old man is sick in bed, and after accepting the gift, his face is gone." ”

Wang Xijue's lips moved, and it should be in the end. His expression was seen by Gao Gong, and he couldn't help frowning slightly and said:

"What else do you have to say?"

"My lord, the champion of this department, Bangyan and Tanhua are all disciples of Luo Xin."

Gao Gong's gaze moved, and at this time, his heart began to pay attention to Luo Xin again. Before, he thought that he was already in power, and Xu Jie was no longer an opponent. was jealous of Luo Xin, so he thought about breaking off relations with Luo Xin. The situation of Xu Jie and Luo Xin losing both sides is the result he is most happy to see.

However, now he has turned over. He Gao Gong needs Luo Xin's ally again.

It's just that now Luo Xin is in prison. But Luo Xin was not deprived of his official position, which is intriguing. In other words, Emperor Jiajing did not have the idea of beating Luo Xin to death with a stick, and Luo Xin was very likely to make a comeback.

Of course, even if Luo Xin comes back, he is just a fourth-grade Janese Mansion Zuo Zi, if you only look at this official position, it is of no great use, but Luo Xin's influence is not much worse than that of him, the cabinet subordinate, and Gao Gong has to admire Luo Xin's officialdom wisdom.

Suddenly, Gao Gong's heart jumped.

Now that the capital is turbulent, Luo Xin is staying in the prison at this time, which is the safest place. Far from the whirlpool of strife, it seems dangerous, but it is extremely safe.

"This can't be Luo Xin's intention, right?"

Gao Gong's complicated heart gradually became clearer, and since then, it is necessary to be more friendly to Fan Yingji, Li Zihua and Chen Dong.

The goodwill towards them is not that Gao Gong values them more, but to give Luo Xin face and form a good relationship with Luo Xin. In this way, the relationship with Luo Xin will be severed, and when Luo Xin is released from prison, the two of them can continue to be firm allies. Thinking of this, Gao Gong slowly spoke:

"When a few of Luo Xin's students come, leave them behind, and the old man entertains them for a meal."

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei.

Fan Yingzhi, Li Zihua and Chen Dong came to the gate of Jinyiwei at this time. At this time, there were only three of them, standing quietly at the gate.

After a while, a Jinyi guard came out, took the three of them into the gate of the Jinyi guard, and came to a single courtyard, and saw Luo Xin standing at the door with his hands in his hands, looking at the three of them with a smile. When the three of them saw Luo Xin, they hurriedly walked a few steps, came to Luo Xin, and said:

"The students have seen their teachers."

Luo Xin looked at the three proud protégés in front of him with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Come in." ”

in the room.

Four people sat around. Fan Ying looked forward to Luo Xin, and said with a look of concern on his face: "Teacher, are you okay?" ”

Luo Xin smiled and said, "Do you think I look like something is wrong?" ”

The three of them laughed together, but then they became solemn again. Li Zihua looked at Luo Xin and said:

"Teacher, Your Majesty, he, you"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Test the three of you for the teacher." ”

The three of them immediately sat upright and looked at Luo Xin solemnly. They knew that in the past, Luo Xin handed them all scientific research articles, and from this moment on, I am afraid that what they have to teach is the way to be an official.

"Do you think the current situation of the teacher is not good?"

The three of them pondered, and half-loudly, the jumping Chen Dong suddenly spoke: "Teacher, but because in the southeast, you have rectified the Xu family, and it seems that you have won a big victory, but you have pushed yourself to the cusp, are you trying to recuperate?" ”

"Amazing!" Luo Xin looked at Chen Dong appreciatively, and Chen Dong smiled embarrassedly.

Li Zihua groaned and said: "Now because of the fire in Yuxi Palace, it seems that Xu Jie's grace has been regained, and Gao Gong has a tendency to be abandoned by His Majesty. In the next step, Gao Gong and Xu Jie will definitely fight more and more fiercely. Teacher, is this to stay away from the whirlpool of strife? ”

Luo Xin nodded with a smile and looked at Fan Yingqi again. Fan Yingqi said softly: "These days, students have heard in the capital that many of Gao Gong and his mentor have switched to Xu Jie, and there are many people who are hesitant to wait and see. Does the teacher want to be a cold sidewitness and sweep the sand? ”

"Not bad! You guys are very good! Luo Xin gave him a slight high-five.

Fan Yingqi's eyes were full of excitement, which showed that Luo Xin had passed the assessment of the three of them.

"Teacher, what should we do next?"
