Mingshi

Chapter 844

Ma Qingshan came in again from the outside, first filled Luo Xin's teacup with a smile, and then sat down.

At this time, in the imperial palace, a war that could not be seen was going on.

Under the leadership of Xu Jie and Gao Gong, all the officials returned to their respective seats and stood solemnly after shouting "Long Live".Huang Jin raised his voice and shouted:

"Your Majesty has a decree. If you have something to do, you will play it early, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat."

Zhang Juzheng came out and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zou, I have this performance."

"Speak!" Emperor Jiajing spat out a word lightly.

"Observe the decree!" Zhang Juzheng said: "Master Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is very old, especially in the past six months, he has only been on sick leave for two months. Virtuous."

Zhao Zhenji's face turned red. His body is really uncomfortable these days, but after several months of recuperation, he has recovered a lot. He feels that he will be able to recover in a year or so.At this time, Emperor Jiajing looked over and said:
"Zhao Qing is unwell?"

"Yes!" Zhao Zhenji walked out.

"Are you asking for a doctor?"

"Thank you Your Majesty, I have invited you, and the imperial doctor said that I will recover in a short time."

Zhang Juzheng stared at Zhao Zhenji, and Zhao Zhenji felt bitter in his heart.He knew that now he should follow Zhang Juzheng's words, saying that his health was failing, and returning home.Because his son Zhao Dingzhu was arrested for being greedy for ink, if he is willing to resign from his old age and give up his position as Minister of Rites, Xu Jie will let this matter go. If he refuses to give up his seat, Zhang Juzheng will be impeached immediately Zhao Dingzhu.

However, Zhao Zhenji was originally a upright person, and Gao Gong instructed him not to agree to return home immediately, so he gritted his teeth and threw his son aside, saying in the court that he would recover soon.However, when he saw Zhang Juzheng's sharp eyes, his heart was suspended, knowing that Zhang Juzheng was going to impeach his son.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and my whole body and mind felt weak.

Zhang Juzheng saw that although Zhao Zhenji's face turned pale in an instant, but his eyes were full of determination, he knew that Zhao Zhenji had made up his mind, his face turned cold, and he was about to speak again, but at this moment, he saw Yan Na leaving the shift road:

"Your Majesty, I have this report, and I want to impeach Hu Zongxian."

Xu Jie's gaze was fixed. He still doesn't know that Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin have joined forces secretly.Now that Zhang Shijie and the Xu Mansion are joining forces to annex Daming Maritime Trade, this absolutely requires the support of Hu Zongxian. Without Hu Zongxian, it will become very difficult. Once Hu Zongxian is dismissed, he will send another high-ranking person to the southeast to replace Hu Zongxian , then there is no hope.

It is inappropriate to get rid of Zhao Zhenji but lose Hu Zongxian.At least for now, the Xu Party cannot live without Hu Zongxian.When Daming Maritime Trade was annexed, whether Hu Zongxian was dismissed at that time had little effect on Xu Jie.

Of course, even at that time, if you can protect Hu Zongxian, you still have to protect him, otherwise you will be regarded as Xu Jie crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, so who else will follow Xu Jie?
Therefore, Xu Jie quickly made a decision in his mind, to put Zhao Zhenji's matter aside first, and impeach Zhao Zhenji after the Daming Maritime Trade matter is over.Therefore, Xu Jie stepped out of the court decisively and said:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao is rich in experience. Daming needs Mr. Zhao."

Yan Na's expression was stagnant, and he couldn't help looking at Gao Gong, who then shook his head slightly.He didn't want to do something that would hurt both sides.In his view, impeaching Hu Zongxian is far less important than keeping Zhao Zhenji.

Seeing Gao Gong shaking his head, Yan Na stopped speaking. Emperor Jiajing shifted his gaze from Xu Jie to Zhao Zhenji, and said softly:
"Zhao Qing take care of yourself, I need you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhenji relaxed.

Emperor Jiajing looked at Yan Na again, and Yan Na hurriedly picked a few trivial matters to impeach Hu Zongxian, and Emperor Jiajing said indifferently:

"Go back first."

Yan Na retreated, and Xu Jie's heart moved. From the tone of Emperor Jiajing, he felt that Emperor Jiajing had no intention of dealing with Hu Zongxian at all. If he wanted to deal with Hu Zongxian, there were so many impeachments before. The emperor had dealt with it a long time ago, but now he just said it lightly.

"This... seems to be my own miscalculation! Even if I don't give up impeaching Zhao Zhenji, Emperor Jiajing may not deal with Hu Zongxian!"

If he knew at this time that Luo Xin had already protected Hu Zongxian, and Emperor Jiajing agreed not to move Hu Zongxian, Xu Jie would probably vomit blood in anger.

"No!" Xu Jie's heart suddenly moved, and a thought suddenly appeared in the old and cunning Xu Jie's heart at this moment: "The attitude of His Majesty was not clear before, but after Luo Xin returned to Beijing to see His Majesty, His Majesty's attitude seems to have changed. I don't want to touch Hu Zongxian. Could it be that Luo Xin is protecting Hu Zongxian?
but……

Why did Luo Xin protect Hu Zongxian?

Could it be... Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin joined forces secretly? "

Xu Jie immediately broke out in cold sweat. If Hu Zongxian and Luo Xin really joined forces, it would not be a matter of annexing Daming Maritime Trade, and I have to consider whether the southeast side is a dug trap. He Xu Jie jumped down.

At this time, Yuxi Palace was very depressed, because Emperor Jiajing no longer spoke, and no one spoke.Moreover, Emperor Jiajing didn't say he was going to retreat, but just swept them over and over again with cold eyes like a knife.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing was very angry, even a little ashamed.

Xu Jie's party impeached Zhao Zhenji, which is nothing.Gao Gong fought back with one party, and Hu Zongxian with a single core had nothing to do.

Emperor Jiajing was not only not angry, but also very happy in his heart.

As an emperor, what he likes the most is the technique of balance. He likes courtiers to fight, otherwise the courtiers will hug each other, and it will be his turn to be unable to sleep.As long as there is factionalism, he can act as a referee from above.

only……

In today's situation, it is no longer Xu Jie's party and Gao Gong's party fighting, he is the referee.Instead, both sides are playing with him as a referee.

Xu Jie single-minded Zhao Zhenji, and when he saw Gao Gong's impeachment of Hu Zongxian, he immediately retreated. Instead, Xu Jie stood up and said that Daming could not do without Zhao Zhenji.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Do you take me, the emperor, as a fool?

Looking at Gao Gong again, when Xu Jie said he would not impeach Zhao Zhenji, Yan Na immediately picked a few trivial things, isn't this humiliating Emperor Jiajing's IQ?

How could Emperor Jiajing not be angry?
I am the referee!
How come you two don't regard me as a referee at all, and you play match-fixing there, and you still play match-fixing blatantly, how can this be tolerated?
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing was very angry at this time, but he couldn't find a vent, and he didn't want to just leave the court in such a depressed way, so he just sat there coldly.
