However, Yan Na was under much less pressure, and Luo Xin was not in the capital, so all the pressure was mainly concentrated on Xu Jie and Gao Gong.

And Xu Jie originally didn't agree with a whip method, so he kept silent most of the time, so most of the pressure was on Gao Gong's body, just a day's work, Gao Gong's mouth was full of bubbles.

Moreover, a whip law is not omnipotent, it naturally has its flaws, and those officials grasp those flaws and impeach, one by one, it is completely reasonable, and the momentum of impeachment is getting bigger and bigger. Because many officials observed for a few days, they found that Xu Jie's attitude did not seem to support a whipping law, so it was even more merciless, and the impeachment was like snowflakes. Zhang Juzheng, who was in charge of the south, and Ma Fang, who was in charge of the north, were pushed to the forefront. Although Zhang Juzheng and Ma Fang also wrote to defend themselves, under the general trend, the two of them were too weak and were completely drowned out by the waves.

Ma Fang is okay, after all, he is from the veteran military department, even if he is violently impeached, he still has control over the military department. Even Xu Jie's person Wang Guoguang is the secretary of the Ministry of War, but because of Wang Chonggu's non-cooperation, Wang Guoguang's control over the Ministry of War is very weak.

However, Zhang Juzheng's household department is different!

Ge Shouli was originally dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng sitting on his head at a young age, but he had no choice but to do it because of Xu Jie's face. Now he doesn't care about Zhang Juzheng anymore, Zhang Juzheng has almost lost control of the household department.

Zhang Juzheng is very distressed now, and he finds that he has no one to talk about his distress. I couldn't help but think of Luo Xin. Strange to say, he and Luo Xin belong to two camps, and they are in direct competition. But he felt that Luo Xin was the only person he confided in. It's just that Luo Xin is not in the capital now.

Zhang Juzheng was sitting in his small courtyard at this time, holding a wine jug in his hand, there was only one cold dish on the table, he ate half of it, his eyes were drunk, he took a sip of wine, looked up at the moon in the sky, sighed, and said to himself:

"No, you've dodged the whirlpool. You're right, what others give you is not your own, and if someone else can give it to you, you can take it. Just like the teacher, he is silent now, and there are more people who impeach me. Or are you right, only what you master belongs to you. Today I finally understood this truth. ”

Suzhou.

Luo Xin stood in front of the window, holding a piece of paper in his hand, which was the detailed news of the capital sent by Wang Cuiqiao through secret channels. Luo Xin took the piece of paper into his arms, looked up at the moon in the sky, and whispered to himself:

"Now Taiyue and Xu Jie, I'm afraid they're feeling dirty. Hehe......"

Capital.

The corners of Zhang Juzheng's mouth curved upward, revealing a self-deprecating smile, and he said with wine in his mouth:

"No, do you think I'm too impulsive? Shouldn't we learn to be strict? Be honest and be a good gentleman in the cabinet? But...... I don't want to ......"

Zhang Juzheng's voice suddenly raised: "I don't want to do nothing, I hollowed out my mind to enter the cabinet, not for that position, but to really do something." I don't want to mess around like Yan Na. ”

Suzhou.

"Brother Taiyue!" Luo Xin stood in front of the window and whispered leisurely: "Now that there are six cabinet members, only Yan Na has been impeached the least, do you have contempt for Yan Na?"

But...... Alas......"

Luo Xin sighed softly and said, "Good as water!" Yan Na has mastered the essence! How do you know that he doesn't have ideals? How do you know he's not waiting for the fisherman to make a profit? Wait until he takes control of the cabinet and then realize his ideals?

You and I are still young and irritable, and I am a little!

I have no background, and I want to rely on others to do something big, after all, it is a mirror, when others don't let you rely on it, we will fall down at any time, this is the result of dependence.

It's better to rely on others than on yourself! ”

In Zhang Xun's study.

Zhang Xun, Tao Xingyan, Yun Zhiqiu and Hai Zheng got together.

"It seems that the strategy we set at the beginning was successful, and we joined forces with Zhang Juzheng, which caused a rift between Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie." Yun Zhiqiu said happily.

"yes!" Tao Xingyan also nodded happily and said: "It is estimated that Zhang Juzheng is full of complaints about Xu Jie at this time, and the two masters and apprentices will not have the same heart in the future!" ”

"In this way, Xu Jie's control over the cabinet is a little weaker." Haizheng said happily.

"It's just ......" Zhang Xun said with a solemn expression: "Now that the impeachment of the cabinet by hundreds of officials is getting more and more serious, although Zhang Juzheng and Ma Fang have written several times to defend themselves, they are like waves drowning in the sea. And Xu Jie and Gao Gong were silent, which made the impeachment of those officials even more energetic. If this continues, if you don't return to Beijing, you will inevitably be implicated. ”

"In this matter, Xu Jie and Gao Gong must stand up and speak." Hai Zheng frowned and said: "The two of them, one is the first assistant of the cabinet and the other is the second assistant of the cabinet, they are like stuffy donkeys, what do they mean?" ”

"Xu Jie won't come out to speak!" Zhang Xun shook his head and said: "If a whip is proposed by Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie may not stand up to support Zhang Juzheng, because Xu Jie originally disagreed with a whip law, otherwise he would not force Zhang Juzheng to give way to the initiative."

In fact, from that moment on, Zhang Juzheng had already had a dislike with Xu Jie, Xu Jie wanted to cultivate a successor, but he wanted an obedient successor. Now that the impeachment has happened, Xu Jie just took this opportunity to knock Zhang Juzheng. Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, Xu Jie will not stand up. ”

"What about the high arch?"

There was silence in the study.

Halfway, Zhang Xun said softly: "The situation of Gao Gong is very bad!" ”

"How?" Haizheng asked.

"I don't think it's that simple." Zhang Xun thought about it and said: "A whip is not an initiative. ”

Speaking of which, looking at a few humanitarians: "At least on the surface, it is not an initiative." ”

Tao Xingyan couldn't help but nod his head.

"But ......" Zhang Xun said in a condensed voice: "The final leader is Gao Gong, that is to say, the center of impeachment in this matter is not a bad weapon, but Gao Gong." And just because Buqi is not in the capital, at this time Buqi is responsible for the war in the south and the affairs of the city, and at this critical time, all officials have scruples about impeachment. Once the impeachment is removed, who will handle the affairs of the South? ”

"Not bad!" Tao Xingyan nodded and said: "Of the six people in the cabinet, the one who has been impeached the least is Yan Na, and it stands to reason that the one who has not been impeached should be the second most, second only to Gao Gong." However, now it is only a little more than Yan Na. From this point of view, the officials have scruples about not using weapons. ”

"So, the high arch is dangerous?" Yun Zhiqiu asked while thinking.
