Chapter 785: The Battle of the Master of Ceremonies

The day after Feng Bao was overthrown, the atmosphere at the court meeting was very different from before, the civil and military officials were waiting outside the emperor's gate, Qin Lin noticed that there were several old slippery heads of officialdom who had been sick for a long time, and now they were also rushing to the court, and the looks on the faces of the courtiers were either sincerely panicked or suffering from gains and losses.

Back then, the little emperor who succeeded to the throne at the age of ten, relying on Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the emperor's teacher, and Feng Bao, the eunuch of the inner court, sat on a disproportionately wide throne, talking to the civil and military ministers in a milky voice, Zhang Taishi stood at the head of the class with a sinister face, and Feng Dugong stood beside the throne with a sinister smile, and the fate of the courtiers was only decided by the will of the two of them.

Once upon a time, Zhang Taishi drove the crane to the west, Feng Dugong was demoted to Nanjing, the original little emperor finally grew up, from now on, I am afraid that the government will really depend on the mind of this young son of heaven...... Feng Bangning, Xu Jue, Chen Yingfeng and other Feng Party cadres have been sent to prison, but there are still many officials in the court who have been very close to Feng Bao, and now their situation is very embarrassing.

The two heroes who overthrew Feng Bao, Qin Lin and Liu Shouyou became hot, and many courtiers rushed to talk to them, perhaps because Qin Lin was younger and didn't look as deep as Liu Shou, so there were more courtiers around him.

"Qin Shao's fidelity is the dry city of the country!" Chengguo Gong Zhu Yingzhen boasted with his eyebrows fluttering, and gave his thumb up: "How arrogant Feng Dugong was before, he was actually knocked down by Qin Shaobao in one fell swoop, it is really unbelievable, but I have to believe it, this is an immortal honor." ”

Xu Wenbi and Xu Tingfu also smiled and were honored, his father and son were cunning, and this time they bet on the right treasure.

Those officials who have a good relationship with Qin Lin are very happy for him, like Wu Dui, the right capital imperial history, who is more old-fashioned and serious, just smiling, and Zhang Gongyu, the imperial history of the capital, is a solid person, so he grins and laughs.

But Qin Lin himself just perfunctory Zhu Yingzhen on his face, and answered him correctly a sentence or two from time to time, but his eyes looked at the head of Wenchen's class, and all his attention was cast over there.

Xu Wenbi pulled his son and said in a low voice: "Look at where Aunt Qin looks, hehe, son, are you convinced now?" When you were as old as him, you still drilled into the Teaching Workshop Division and Goolan Courtyard all day long, where did you want to get these! ”

"Convinced, I'm really convinced, this little aunt really has a ** heart!" Xu Tingfu sighed in admiration, and secretly warned himself not to be deceived by Qin Lin's young face, this guy is definitely a belly of intrigues.

Isn't it, in the direction that Qin Lin is looking at, there is a push that will not be noticed by outsiders.

Pan Sheng, the first assistant of the scholar of the Ministry of Rites, lowered his voice and sincerely persuaded Zhang Siwei: "Brother Fengpan, this Wenchen is the head of the class, you should come and stand!" ”

Now the most embarrassing thing is not those civil and military officials who attach Feng Bao, after all, they gave gifts to Feng Mansion and didn't shout that the whole capital knew about it, if they didn't turn Feng Bao's sky-high account out, God knows who had bribed Feng Bao? As long as he doesn't engrave the word Feng on his face clearly like Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng, others can only guess based on what he usually does, and there is no real evidence in the end.

However, Pan Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, just entered the cabinet yesterday to pay homage to the prime minister, and was extremely glorious for a while, and was preparing to go home to the next court to hold a banquet.

Because yesterday at this court meeting, in front of Wanli and the civil and military officials, Feng Bao personally said: "Pan Shangshu is an old man with far-reaching wisdom, unlike some people who have narrow visions and are listed as auxiliary ministers and have a vegetarian diet...... The old slave sponsored Pan Shangshu with his full family name and succeeded him as the first assistant of the cabinet! ”

Obviously, Pan Sheng is the backbone of the Jiangling Party, Zhang Juzheng's teacher, and is supported by the Jiangling Party to become the first assistant, but because of Feng Bao's words, can he stand in the position of the first assistant with a cheeky face and pretend that nothing happened? He has already given birth to the meaning of words.

Zhang Siwei's eyes flashed with joy, but his face was extremely stunned, and he said in a dumb voice: "Why did Brother Pan say this?" The foolish brother has been personally dismissed by the Holy Lord to serve as a university scholar, although the holy decree has not yet come down, after all, the king has no jokes, how can he stand at the head of the Wenchen class with a shy face? ”

"Brother Feng Pan is too straightforward!" Pan Sheng sighed, how sincere and honest Zhang Siwei was, he even felt very guilty because he had invisibly taken away the other party's opportunity to get the position of first assistant some time ago.

In fact, the real upright person is precisely Pan Chen himself.

Wang Zhen, the servant of the ministry, had a good relationship with Pan Sheng, and also helped to persuade: "Now Brother Pan must resign in order to avoid the melon field and Li Xia." Mr. Feng Pan, you have been impeached by the Feng Party, and since Your Majesty has been expelled from the eunuchs, you will definitely turn your case over, not only will you not be dismissed, but it is reasonable to go further. ”

Zhang Siwei is already the second assistant, and even further that is the first assistant, a high position above 10,000 people under one person.

Zeng Shengwu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Guoguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Youzi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and other important ministers of the Jiangling Party did not speak, in their opinion, Pan Sheng is old and senior, and even Zhang Juzheng's teacher, even if he has no great ability, at least everyone is still convinced when they see that he is old.

But Zhang Siwei's qualifications, he used to be a nominal secondary assistant in the cabinet, but he actually ran errands for Zhang Juzheng, so it was okay, to achieve the position of the first assistant and lead the entire Jiangling Party, everyone was not very happy in their hearts.

Especially Zeng Xingwu, he is the youngest among all the scholars, he is a member of the Jiangling Party charging into battle, and his surname is the most obedient, as early as Zhang Juzheng's death, he noticed a few clues from Zhang Siwei, and at this time, when he saw Pan Sheng's concession, he was faintly uneasy.

Zhang Siwei glanced at his colleagues and said very modestly: "Siwei is not qualified enough, and there is no strategy to help the world. ”

Different from his partners who are good at scheming, Wang Zhan is indeed a righteous gentleman, seeing that Zhang Siwei pushed hard, he became more and more anxious, and persuaded in a hurried voice: "Now that the Taishi has returned to heaven, Feng Bao has been expelled, Yan Qing and others are about to move, and the wind direction of the government and the opposition may change, only Brother Feng Pan can take advantage of the situation to stabilize the overall situation and continue to implement the unfinished business of the Taishi's new policy, not to mention that there is Brother Ru Mo in the cabinet, let's put Yu Youding into the cabinet again, it's really not good, and I am willing to enter the cabinet to help Brother Feng Pan......"

Wang Zhan talked about this, and Mr. Shen Shixing naturally nodded again and again: "What else does Mr. Feng Pan hesitate about?" You are on top of the position of the first assistant, and Shen will only look forward to you in the future! ”

Wang Guoguang, Zeng Xingwu, and Li Youzi looked at each other, and the current situation can only push Zhang Siwei to the position of first assistant in order to stabilize the situation, curb the opposition's covetousness, and continue to implement the great cause of the new policy.

Even the important ministers of the Jiangling Party, who were not very interested in Zhang Siwei, also reached a consensus.

Zhang Siwei seemed to be chasing ducks to the shelves, and "reluctantly" was pushed to the position of the head of Wenchen's class, and Pan Sheng consciously lagged behind one position.

Seeing this, Qin Lin's heart chuckled, and his expression changed greatly.

After a long time, Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli, came very late, and there was no longer Feng Bao Feng Dugong with a gloomy face and hanging eyebrows around him, but Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale, two upstarts, although the two Zhang tried their best to control their expressions and wanted to show themselves a majestic and solemn demeanor, but the uncontrollable joy finally came out from the corners of their eyes and eyebrows.

Zhu Yijun paced slowly, several times slower than before, and slowly walked towards the throne, his majestic gaze swept down, and he said that the important ministers and old ministers who were looking at him with a straight body and a smile all lowered their heads, and even looked away in a panic.

Power, majesty, and supreme imperial authority stirred up a storm in Zhu Yijun's heart, and the huge sweetness brought by holding power with his own hands almost made him intoxicated...... Just a few steps to the throne, as if a century was so long, finally Zhu Yijun sat down, three pure whip bells and drums sounded in unison, and the ministers went down to worship the mountain and dance.

Qin Lin also bowed down, but his heart was not a taste, through Feng Bao's experience, he had already found out that this emperor's surname was narrow-minded, rigid and self-serving, and he was mean and unkind, and he was really a companion like a tiger, but unfortunately now the Jiangling Party doesn't know it...... "Yes~" Zhang Whale shouted at the top of his voice.

"Yes~" At the same time, Zhang Cheng also shouted.

Then the two father-in-law Zhang closed their mouths, looked at each other, and then shouted at the same time: "If there is something to do, play early, and if there is nothing to retreat!" ”

The ministers were secretly amused in their hearts, and their faces naturally did not show at all, it seems that the two Zhang Gonggongs have not yet decided the winner, Feng retained the position of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, which Zhang Gonggong will do it?

Qin Lin Dong is watching the fire, the contradiction between the two is by no means a matter of one or two days, in the past, when Feng Bao was there, in order to deal with the common enemy, the two of them could still cooperate sincerely, but now that Feng Bao has been overthrown, it is time to reap the fruits of victory, and the battle between the two of them will inevitably become white-hot.

Liu Shouyou also looked at Qin Lin with hostility, he formed an alliance with Zhang Whale, Qin Lin and Zhang Cheng joined hands, who will win and who will lose in this new round of dragon fight?

On this day, there was no substantive content of the surname, Wanli reigned in the world as a victor, and announced the crimes of Feng Dang to the civil and military officials, and also to the subjects of the world, showing how wise and powerful he was to overthrow Feng Bao since he was in power.

As for who will take over these things, the Jiuqing court has not been convened for the time being, after all, the changes are big enough, and a temporary delay is also a buffer for the imperial court.

However, Wanli personally announced that Zhang Siwei was framed by Feng Bao and rehabilitated Zhaoxue for him.
