Chapter 1511 Before joining the cabinet
"Mu Xiu Yu Lin Feng will destroy it!" Luo Xin said flatly: "So I will not participate in the nationwide promotion."

Zhang Juzheng said with bitterness on his face: "You can escape leisurely, but I can't. I need these credits."

"Then do it."

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Luo Dao with emotion: "You will hand over the promotion to Gao Gong, right?"

"Hehe..." Luo Xin laughed twice and remained silent.

Zhang Juzheng gave Luo Xin a thumbs up and said, "You are making Rang Gao Gong owe you a favor again."

Luo Xin straightened up, looked at Zhang Juzheng seriously, and said, "Taiyue, today I want to talk to you from the bottom of my heart."

Zhang Juzheng also became serious and said, "Please tell me."

"As long as everyone has the same goal, I think it's better to share the interests equally. As the saying goes, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together."

Zhang Juzheng pondered for a while and said, "Just like you and me?"

"That's right!" Luo Xin nodded seriously: "Your mentor is Xu Jie, and you are very familiar with the grievances between Xu Jie and I. But we still cooperate. As long as the purpose of this cooperation is beneficial to Daming. As for who got it this time If you have more, then you will get less next time, it is all negotiable."

Zhang Juzheng left with thoughts, and as soon as Zhang Juzheng left, Tao Xingyan and Chen Yiqin entered Luo Xin's room one after another.Now that Chen Yiqin has also handed in the nomination certificate, although Luo Xin can't trust him like he trusts Tao Xingyan, but everyone has come, can they still be kicked out?Therefore, it is also a warm hospitality.With Chen Yiqin around, Tao Xingyan and Luo Xin couldn't say anything, so they just discussed some things about the Ministry of Rites.After discussing for a while, while everyone was drinking tea, Chen Yiqin suddenly said:

"My lord, you have no problem joining the cabinet, right?"

When Chen Yiqin opened his mouth, Tao Xingyan, who originally didn't want to talk about it, couldn't help becoming serious, and looked at Luo Dao:
"No, how sure are you that you will pass Ting Tui?"

Luo Xin thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem."

Chen Yiqin said worriedly: "What if Xu Jie's people don't vote for you?"

"Probably not!" Luo Xin shook his head slightly.

"Why?" This time it was Chen Yiqin and Tao Xingyan who asked together. Given the relationship between Luo Xin and Xu Jie, it was justified not to vote for Luo Xin. How could Luo Xin have the confidence?

"Because..." Luo Xin was also a little uncertain: "Xu Jie wants Zhang Juzheng to enter the cabinet, so he must let me enter the cabinet."

Tao Xingyan and Chen Yiqin nodded. In their opinion, Zhang Juzheng's qualifications to enter the cabinet were much worse than Luo Xin's. If Zhang Juzheng was allowed to enter the cabinet but Luo Xin was not, it would be a joke.

"But even so, Zhang Juzheng may not be able to enter the cabinet." Chen Yiqin frowned and said: "Xu Jie can push you into the cabinet, but what about Zhang Juzheng? Will Gao Gong choose him? If Xu Jie just pushes you into the cabinet In the end, Zhang Juzheng didn't join the cabinet, isn't he busy? Unless Xu Jie, your lord, and Mr. Gao Ge have made a deal."

Luo Xin shook his head slowly and said, "There is no deal."

"So, Xu Jie is going to go another way," Tao Xingyan said, frowning.

"You mean special order?" Luo Xin also reacted, and his brows were also tightly furrowed.

When Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng entered the cabinet, they did not become cabinet elders. Their qualifications were not enough. The two of them entered the cabinet to become cabinet bachelors.There are two ways to become a cabinet bachelor.One way is to push the court, and the other way is for the emperor to bypass the ministers and order the appointment of a scholar without the court.

However, it is rare for the emperor to make an order. It is not that the emperor does not want to make an appointment, but that the ministers do not want it in their hearts.

To become a cabinet scholar through Ting Tuo will be regarded as upright, walking on the right path, and will be respected by all officials.And special purpose to become a bachelor will be considered not the right way, it is a gain of flattery, and being despised by all officials will become a stain on an official's life, so some officials would rather not be promoted than accept the emperor's special order.

Luo Xin understood now that Xu Jie didn't want to let himself and Zhang Juzheng pass through the court push, and become a cabinet scholar, but wanted to pull himself into the water, and like Zhang Juzheng, he couldn't pass the court push, and then he was trying to be a good person , to ask Emperor Longqing to issue a special decree to let himself and Zhang Juzheng enter the cabinet together and become a bachelor.

Luo Xin's mood immediately became bad. This kind of special promotion really has many hidden dangers. After thinking about Zhang Juzheng's temperament, he asked:

"Do you think Zhang Juzheng can accept this result?"

"He has no choice!" Chen Yiqin said, "Except that he is a little older than adults, his other qualifications are far from those of adults. If he misses this opportunity, those veterans who have recovered will come back. I'm afraid he will never be able to do it again." Opportunities will be wasted for a lifetime. Therefore, even though this road has a bad reputation, he has to go. It's just that he will be despised if he drags adults along."

"This Xu Jie... Hey..."

Luo Xin really felt the power of Xu Jie. If he really took the road of joining the cabinet with a special purpose, he would have many hidden dangers if he wanted to take the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet in the future.

"My lord..." The faces of Tao Xingyan and Chen Yiqin were also full of worry.

Luo Xin waved his hand and said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover them with earth. If you can't enter the cabinet in an upright manner, then I won't enter."

What attracts the most attention in Beijing today, and what is the most talked about thing?

Ting pushed.

Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the cabinet, recommended Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Gong, the second assistant of the cabinet, recommended Luo Xin.

Who will join the cabinet of these two people?

In other words, whether two people can enter the cabinet together will attract the attention of all officials.

Luo Xin went to the palace, and walked around the imperial garden with Emperor Longqing. During the walk, the guards and eunuchs followed at a distance, so no one knew what Luo Xin and Emperor Longqing were talking about.

Luo Xin's move attracted the attention of all officials, but he couldn't say anything, because everyone knew the relationship between Luo Xin and Emperor Longqing. Luo Xin went to the palace to see Emperor Longqing, and the two walked around the imperial garden. Can say no.But now, before the court pushes, people have to pay attention.

The court push finally started, and the final result was as expected by Luo Xin and the others. Neither he nor Zhang Juzheng had more than half of the votes, and Zhang Juzheng had two more votes than Luo Xin.

The results of the court push were sent to the palace, and soon Feng Bao came out to inform that His Majesty would discuss the court push with the ministers tomorrow morning.

Xu Jie was not calm anymore, he knew the tricks here better than anyone else, that was to suppress Luo Xin, bring Luo Xin to the same level as Zhang Juzheng, and then ask Emperor Longqing to issue a special decree to promote Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng to the cabinet.Entering the cabinet with such a special status, Luo Xin was inherently weaker, and it would be much easier to suppress him in the cabinet in the future.
