Seeing that Xu Jie and Gao Gong were silent, Emperor Longqing's face was gloomy and said: "If you can't do this little thing, the first and second assistants of this cabinet will be too incompetent." ”

"Obey the order!"

"What else is the matter?"

"Your Majesty!" Ma Fang said in a deep voice: "Now that three months have passed early, the minister has no way to solve the money shortage, and the first assistant has made a rule, if I and Lord Zhang can't solve the problem of money shortage, the minister will automatically be demoted by one, and Lord Zhang will not be able to manage the government, and can only study in the cabinet for three years."

Now that the minister has automatically descended to Lord Yan, he also asks His Majesty to issue an order to let Lord Zhang study for three years. ”

In fact, Ma Fang was holding a breath in his heart, Xu Jie and Gao Gong went home, they should have been the temporary leading big brother of the cabinet, but Emperor Longqing let Yan Na be the leading big brother.

All right!

This is even a punishment for not solving the problem of money shortage, but why was Zhang Juzheng not punished?

Why?

Just because he is a student of Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet?

As soon as he thought of this, he complained to Gao Gong.

It's really a soldier, and it will be a nest of bears.

Gao Gong, the boss, is too powerful, Xu Jie can keep Zhang Juzheng, you Gao Gong can't protect me?

Can't keep your little brother, what kind of boss are you going to be?

So, today Ma Fang broke the jar and broke it. And this can be regarded as a letter of submission to Luo Xin. So, after he had finished saying this, he continued:

"And Your Majesty said that if Lord Luo really solves the war in the south and the city division this time, he will raise Lord Luo to a rank, and I am willing to rank behind Lord Luo."

Gao Gong was happy in his heart and threw an appreciative look at Ma Fang. He didn't expect that Ma Fang had secretly defected to Luo Xin, but he thought that Ma Fang was leaving Zhang Juzheng idle for three years and risking himself. Once Zhang Juzheng loses the right to speak in the cabinet for three years, he and Xu Jie's fight will have a lot of confidence.

"What a man!"

"In order to help me fight Xu Jie, I actually put myself on the line."

He didn't take into account Luo Xin's promotion by one place, but he was ranked fourth in the cabinet. And with Yan Na, that good old man, Luo Xin surpasses Yan Na, will the day of sitting in the third place be far away?

He was left happy now, once Emperor Longqing agreed to block Zhang Juzheng, he would be much easier in the cabinet.

However, Zhang Juzheng's heart sank, and his heart was full of anger.

This anger is against Ma Fang and Xu Jie!

Yes!

It's anger against Xu Jie!

In his opinion, Xu Jie grabbed a whip this time to attack Gao Gong, and he didn't consider him as a student at all. Completely treated him as a victim.

At this time, Xu Jie's face was also sinking like water, he had Zhang Juzheng shot, but he didn't want to seal the gun in the warehouse. Once Zhang Juzheng was banned for three years, wouldn't it be in vain for him to work hard to get Zhang Juzheng into the cabinet?

However, he knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and in the case of Ma Fang's hard work, everything was meaningless.

Sure enough, after listening to Ma Fang's words, Emperor Longqing nodded without hesitation and said:

"Zhang Juzheng will study for another three years!"

Zhang Juzheng's eyes turned red all of a sudden, after many years of struggle, he entered the cabinet, but he got this result and became a joke in the court, does he have a future in the future?

Or is it a mistake to enter the cabinet with a special purpose?

Ma Fang is now ranked fourth in the cabinet, down one place, and the news that Zhang Juzheng has been unable to govern for three years soon spread to the court, and the court fell silent all of a sudden. The impeachment also subsided. Because both Xu Jie and Gao Gong realized the seriousness of the problem. If this impeachment continues, I'm afraid both of them will leave the cabinet.

The most important thing is that now everyone is waiting for news from Luo Xin's side.

The situation is reversed.

If Luo Xin fails, the whip will be invalidated immediately, because it means that the war is approaching, and there is a problem with the Ming finances. At that time, everything had to be prepared for war, everything was based on stability, and a whip would be enough.

If Luo Xin succeeds, there is still a glimmer of hope for that whip. After all, almost half of the financial problems are solved.

Not bad!

Nowadays, the revenue of the city department accounts for nearly half of the Ming Dynasty's financial share, and the remaining half is the source of the original Ming Dynasty's finance, such as the traditional land tax, plus the northern mutual market.

Now the traditional fiscal revenue has not been affected, this year from the current point of view, there is no natural disaster in the Ming Dynasty, so there should be no problem with the traditional taxation, as long as Luo Xin solves the southern problem, even if the northern problem is not solved, it will suddenly make the Ming Dynasty militarily will not suffer from the enemy, a lot better. More importantly, the problem of the city division has been solved, so that Daming's finances will improve all of a sudden, and there will be absolutely no problem in balancing revenue and expenditure.

This makes everything possible in Daming.

However, this does not mean that the Xu Party will let go of a whip. Because this is a heavyweight shell that hits a high arch. It is also a sharp aspect of cracking down on Luo Xin.

Now Luo Xin is not impeached, it is because Luo Xin went to the south to do things for everyone.

Not bad!

In their opinion, Luo Xin did not work for the royal family, but for them. Because too many official families are deeply involved in the city. As long as Luo Xin solves the problem of the city, it means that a lot of money will flow into their family. If Luo Xin can't solve it, their losses will be too great.

That's why no official has impeached Roxin.

In the same way, this is also the reason why Xu Jie and Gao Gong obediently listened to Emperor Longqing's reprimand, returned to the cabinet, and suppressed the impeachment of their respective subordinates.

You can follow the trend, but you can't go against the trend.

How could the two big guys, Xu Jie, and Gao Gong, not understand this truth?

Therefore, the court was rarely quiet, and all eyes were looking to the southeast, and they waited again, waiting for Luo Xin's news. Whether Luo Xin fails or succeeds, the Xu Party will launch a fierce attack. At that time, the attack was not only against Gao Gong, but also at Luo Xin.

Because if Luo Xin succeeds, they don't need Luo Xin, unload the mill and kill the donkey! You're out of use, and it's time to kick you out of the cabinet. If Luo Xin fails, let alone that, there must always be a pouring point for full anger, and it also needs a black pot, Gao Gong and Luo Xin are not bad.

Who made a whip the two of you initiate?

However, Xu Jie and Gao Gong, the two elders, returned to the cabinet, their faces were very ugly, although the two of them forced a smile, but even if they were fools, they could see that the mood of the two people was extremely bad.
