Mingshi

Chapter 1526 Minister of Rites
Emperor Longqing didn't agree immediately, but looked at Gao Gong.Gao Gong agreed with Xu Jie without any hesitation.On this point, the first assistant and the second assistant are very in harmony.

In fact, Gao Gong is also very afraid of Luo Xin.After Luo Xin entered the cabinet, no matter whether it was the affairs of the cabinet or the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, there had been no mistakes up to now.Moreover, he presided over the assessment of the Ministry of Officials years ago and achieved fairness, which really gave Luo Xin a good reputation.Let Luo Xin's strength in the capital get a lot of growth.If Luo Xin is allowed to preside over the Talent Ceremony, become the chief examiner of the examination, and become the teacher of the newly promoted Jinshi, Luo Xin's strength will make a leap in a very short period of time.

Look at him and Xu Jie again.

Zhang Juzheng, who Xu Jie worked so hard to get in, is now in the chaos of money shortage caused by a whip.In his high-arch camp, Ma Fang is also in this trouble.The most important thing is that neither Xu Jie nor Gao Gong has come up with a solution to the money shortage so far.And this problem is getting bigger and bigger.

In this way, Luo Xin became the master of Jinshi examinations, and once Zhang Juzheng and Ma Fang could not solve the money shortage, Luo Xin would surely advance one place after another.

The rankings at that time, the best results were: Xu Jie, Yan Na, Ma Fang, Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng.

Ma Fang just retreated one, Yan Najin one, Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng did not advance or retreat, and remained in their original positions.However, this was already a moderate blow to Gao Gong and Xu Jie.

Let's talk about Zhang Juzheng first, it is impossible for Ma Fang to retire one, but Zhang Juzheng didn't deal with it at all.

how?

Do you still have power at the end of the crane?

Just because you are at the end of the crane, can you not deal with it at all?
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng must be dealt with, just as Xu Jie promised before, let's observe and study for three years first.Don't manage cabinet errands for three years.

This dealt a great blow to Zhang Juzheng. When he entered the cabinet, he could not manage affairs, but could only observe and learn.What's the difference between this and a secretary?
This dealt a great blow to Zhang Juzheng's reputation. Even after three years, he would be able to take charge of the cabinet affairs, but he would have no prestige at all.The officials of the ministries below dare to twist their mouths in person.

Moreover, when such a thing happened, it would deal a great blow to Xu Jie.Even if you, a teacher, can't protect your own disciples, can you still protect those who follow you?
What about the blow to Ma Fang?

Taking a step back in the cabinet ranking is a blow. In the cabinet, it is very difficult to go further in terms of seniority. Now that you take a step back, you will never want to be the chief assistant of the cabinet in this life.And this prestige will also drop a lot. When you are not attractive, the cabinet bachelor is just a display.

Ma Fang is Gao Gong's person, if Ma Fang falls, Gao Gong's strength must also be hit.He also faces the embarrassment of people who can't protect him.

This is still a good result, so what if it is a bad result?
That is, the ranking of the cabinet Luo Xin has changed.

Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Yan Na, Luo Xin, Ma Fang, Zhang Juzheng.

Where there is punishment, there is reward!
Ma Fang and Zhang Juzheng made mistakes and had to be punished, while Luo Xin had made meritorious deeds and had to be rewarded!

This result was something neither Xu Jie nor Gao Gong wanted to see.Needless to say, Xu Jie, Gao Gong is an alliance with Luo Xin, but it doesn't mean that he wants to see Luo Xin gradually become stronger, and finally threaten Gao Gong.

Just like the Three Kingdoms, Shu and Wu jointly fought against Wei, but aren't Shu and Wu also fighting?
The most ideal situation is that Gao Gong and Luo Xin jointly fight against Xu Jie, but Gao Gong has always been able to overwhelm Luo Xin.occupy a dominant position.When Xu Jie was completely defeated, Gao Gong was able to continue to have an advantage over Luo Xin, and then turned this advantage into a victory, and finally defeated Luo Xin completely, turning the cabinet into Gao Gong's one-spoken government.

If you want to do this, you must have the power to limit Luo Xin when you unite with Luo Xin.Luo Xin cannot be allowed to develop too fast.Therefore, Gao Gong supported Xu Jie without hesitation, and prevented Luo Xin from continuing to be the Minister of Rites, so as to prevent him from becoming the teacher of Jinshi.

Gao Gong is not afraid that Luo Xin will turn against him, the situation in the cabinet is very obvious, if Gao Gong does not unite with Luo Xin, he will be suppressed by Xu Jie, and if Luo Xin unites with Gao Gong, he will also be suppressed by Xu Jie.Moreover, it is impossible for Luo Xin to form an alliance with Xu Jie.Therefore, he thinks that Luo Xin can only hold his nose and admit it, not daring to have trouble with himself, and has to continue the alliance.

Luo Xin was listening, his expression didn't change, but he scolded Gao Gong in his heart.

In politics, there are really no friends you have, only eternal interests!

Seeing that Gao Gong said the same thing, Emperor Longqing hesitated a little.His IQ did not think of so many twists and turns. Since even Gao Gong said that, is Luo Xin really too tired?
Don't make Luo Xin too tired.So he asked Luo Xin if he would like to.

Luo Xin is really powerless to complain about Emperor Longqing's IQ, even if Luo Xin is unwilling, but on the surface, can he say he is unwilling?

Both the chief assistant and the second assistant of the cabinet have been raised, and as a cabinet, it is true that you must concentrate on cabinet affairs, and it is not appropriate to work part-time as a minister.This is true for Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Ma Fang and Yan Na.

how?

When you come to Luo Xin, you want to occupy the position?

It is impossible for Luo Xin to leave such a reputation.Therefore, I can only express my willingness, and I have to submit a form to resign from the Ministry of Rites.

When Luo Xin returned to the mansion, in fact he had already thought of this situation in his heart. Since he knew that Zhao Zhenji had returned, he had thought about it all night in the study, and then calculated this situation. It was not that he had no arrangements, but there was something in his heart. depressed.

It was fine for Xu Jie to act against himself, and Gao Gong also acted, although Luo Xin speculated about this situation, and he didn't want Gao Gong in his heart. This is the basic quality of a politician, and he will act when it is time to act.Just feel depressed.

He was depressed here, in fact Xu Jie was also depressed in his heart.Back then, what was Luo Xin?
He is like an ant, let alone compared with Xu Jie, even compared with Zhang Juzheng, he is an ant.However, it has only been a little over ten years, and Luo Xin has made rapid progress, not only leaving Zhang Juzheng, whom he has devoted himself to cultivating, far behind, but also getting very close to him, Xu Jie.

Therefore, Xu Jie must recklessly suppress Luo Xin and clear the obstacles for Zhang Juzheng.

Not bad!

He thinks that Luo Xin is the real obstacle for Zhang Juzheng.Gao Gong, Ma Fang and Yan Na are all old.When he abdicates, those three are almost the same.Therefore, he had to make Zhang Juzheng stronger and Luo Xin weaker while he was still sitting in the position of chief assistant in the cabinet.Let Zhang Juzheng overtake Luo Xin and leave Luo Xin far behind.
