Chapter 69                                                                                                                             �

How could Jiajing not keep knowing that there was such a sensation in the palace?

Xu Jie's secret exposure also came to Jiajing.

Jiajing had a smile on his face, an unpredictable expression, and suddenly asked, "Huang Daban, what do you think you should do this?"

Huang Jin said: "How can I know about it? Your Majesty is wise and wise."

Jiajing said: "I will make everything arbitrary. What's the use of asking you?"

Huang Jin immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die."

Jiajing said lightly: "Get up."

Huang Jin then slowly stood up, and there was already a little sweat on his back.

Since Lu Bing's death, Huang Jin has always felt that he was having a hard time. Because Lu Bing's death has made Huang Jin's sense of insecurity worsen. And it is very heavy.

Huang Jin is the only person with a high sense of trust in Jiajing. But because of this, Jiajing's suspicion of Huang Jin has even more.

Is this contradictory? Not at all.

Before, Jiajing could trust Lu Bing and Huang Jin, and Lu Bing and Huang Jin were both together, and they also restrained each other. But now Lu Bing is no longer there. The person who restrained Huang Jin is no longer there. Even Jiajing could not find someone who replaced Lu Bing. He had handed the Jinyiwei to Zhu Xilie, who was also from the Duke Cheng Mansion. Logically speaking, Jiajing could also trust him.

Otherwise, he was too deeply involved with the nobles.

As for the civil servants who were in charge of the Jinyiwei, Jiajing was not kicked in the head by a donkey. He also looked for relatives of the foreigners. Jiajing did not trust the foreigners.

It can be said that if Huang Jin and Zhu Xilie had different opinions on the same thing, Jiajing would believe Huang Jin.

In this way, Huang Jin's status is also unique. But deep down in Jiajing's heart, it is impossible to believe anyone. The more he cannot live without Huang Jin, the more he is worried about Huang Jin's betrayal. The more he is worried about Huang Jin's betrayal, the more he wants to test it like this.

This is Jiajing's suspicion.

Jiajing tossed Huang Jin for a while, then took back his mind to this matter. Jiajing said lightly: "Interesting. Interesting."

Huang Jin stood beside him, not daring to say a word. It was like a statue, so naturally he didn't dare to ask what Jiajing was interesting.

Jiajing is happy to see the current situation.

Although Zhou, Gao and Yang formed a loose alliance, in the overall situation, the Xu Party is still the only one. The importance of the Ming Dynasty lies in the cabinet. In the cabinet, Xu Jie covered the sky with one hand, and the three of them joined forces to shake the situation.

Jiajing was not particularly disgusted with Xu Jie, nor was he particularly favored Zhou Mengchen. What he wanted was balance. Before reaching balance, Jiajing's choice could be imagined.

However, Jiajing prefers Zhou Mengchen and will not end up in person. But he will not stand on Xu Jie's side.

Jiajing threw the secret aside and said, "Tell the outside world that I have been practicing with Zhenren Sun to a critical moment and cannot see anyone, otherwise I will fail. In the future, I will not see all officials, including the cabinet."

Jiajing had never seen all officials, and the only ones who could see Jiajing were just a few people in the cabinet. This is the reason why the cabinet has a particularly powerful power.

What Jiajing emphasized now is that there is no cabinet.

Huang Jin was slightly shocked, but he didn't dare to say anything. He immediately agreed and asked a little eunuch to pass the order.

When Xu Jie received this oral order in the cabinet, he immediately understood Jiajing's intention.

Xu Jie's research on Jiajing was more than Jiajing's research on Xu Jie. Not to mention anything else, Xu Jie knew about Jiajing's practice of Zhenren Sun. What he knew even more was that the Quanzhen Sect did not teach any mysterious things, but were just some things that strengthened the body. He did not say that he wanted to practice in seclusion.

However, it was just an excuse for Jiajing.

For a moment, Xu Jie couldn't help but reflect on himself and said to himself: "Are you too much?"

Xu Jie knew what Jiajing meant from the beginning. It was just that who could reject the temptation of power. Of course, Xu Jie wanted power not just for self-interest. The first thing every politician wanted to do was to take over power. Without power, it was impossible to do things.

But Xu Jie knew that, like Jiajing, different arguments were disturbed and the two sides fought and balanced. Jiajing could rest assured. But the entire center could not do anything. If the world was peaceful and Jiajing did this, the world could still withstand the toss and struggles. But what would the world look like in the Ming Dynasty?

There are many problems between Xu Jie and Zhou Mengchen, and to a large extent, these problems are derived from the different views of the two.

But there is one thing that the two people have the same view.

That is, the world cannot continue like this in the Ming Dynasty. However, Xu Jie wanted to use warmth and carefully clean up the situation, while Zhou Mengchen thought about it as a drastic reorganization.

Therefore, Xu Jie did not want the cabinet to continue fighting. Of course, Xu Jie's own power was also in trouble. Within three years, he had a dispute with Jiajing openly and secretly, and wanted to maintain the dominance of the cabinet. Now, many of Jiajing's methods are already very explicit.

This made Xu Jie reflect on his previous actions in his heart.

Immediately, Xu Jie packed up these ideas, because nothing was useful to think about at this time. Xu Jie had to find a way to solve the problem in front of him.

But Xu Jie couldn't think of any way for a moment.

In Xu Jie's view, there are three ways to solve this problem. First, kill Zhou Mengchen and let Zhou Mengchen go. Of course, nothing happened.

But is it possible?

It is impossible, let alone what Jiajing thought. Just because Zhou Mengchen finally gained a foothold in the court and could still let Xu Jie throw it out, he decided not to look at it. Zhou Mengchen's full-time mission to fight in the north and the whole country in recent years was not in vain. It is not easy to say that his family members are all over the world, but at least half of the world is spread.

Although the storm caused by taking Zhou Mengchen is not as good as winning Yan Song, it is definitely not small, and it involves many things that the Ming court did.

Xu Jie couldn't do it.

Secondly, it is to control the situation, lower the heat, and flood the matter little by little, drag big things down, and small things down.

This is also a skill that bureaucrats are very familiar with. Even in later generations, they are often taken out of the toolbox.

But Xu Jie couldn't do it either, because of the abnormality of newspapers. Xu Jie had not yet figured out the public opinion of newspapers. Moreover, Zhou Mengchen was in charge of the management of newspapers. Xu Jie even felt that one of the important tasks of the Minister of Rites in the future was the imperial examination, and the second was probably the newspaper.

Even if Xu Jie wanted to use politics to interfere in newspapers, it would not be more than Zhou Mengchen.

Therefore, it is impossible to overwhelm things.

The last solution is to talk to Zhou Mengchen.

Politics is the art of compromise.

Xu Jie had something to ask for, but he didn't believe that Zhou Mengchen had nothing to ask for. At worst, Dui Zi was caught off guard. Xu Jie didn't have any countermeasures. He didn't believe that Zhou Mengchen refused to talk.

So, Zhou Mengchen was called to the cabinet.

In the cabinet's duty room, two cups of hot tea were promoted to wisps of water vapor. Zhou Mengchen and Xu Jie looked at each other through the water vapor, as if the other's eyes were a little blurred.

Xu Jie said, "Mr. Zhou, don't talk nonsense. Tell me, why are you willing to stop?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "I don't know what the Prime Minister means? National affairs are what the people want. Where can I stop and stop?"

Xu Jie said lightly: "Okay, how about talking about something else. The war in Bozhou in Southwest is about to begin. People below have no confidence and think that it is better to send a general. I think Yun Zhongbo is good."

Zhou Mengchen smiled softly and said, "Okay. I always feel that I, a disciple, can be named a marquis if I lack some credit. I also thanked the chief minister for his success."

The war in the southwest is never difficult to fight, not because the southwest chieftains are so powerful, but because the war in the southwest is simply a job of hiking mountains and valleys. The army cannot be set aside. No matter what kind of official position you have, in the southwest terrain, you can control thousands of people at most, and you can't use any generals at all.

Not to mention. Among the military achievements of the Ming Dynasty, beheadings in the southwest direction were also quite valuable.

The fight is hard and the contribution is small. It even takes several years to delay. It is normal for such a war to be regarded as a daunting path in the Ming army.
