Chapter 91: Arrangements for Zhang Juzheng

Xu Jie looked at Li Chunfang's back. After the gate was closed, Xu Jie said in a little sad tone: "He is blaming me."

Zhang Juzheng said: "The senior brother just didn't figure it out for a while. In fact, the teacher is also good to him. Otherwise, the position of chief minister would not be left to him."

Xu Jie shook his head and said, "You are wrong. He blamed me for being right. I am between you and I am indeed biased towards you."

Zhang Juzheng felt nervous. He didn't know what to say.

Even though Xu Jie said he was going to retreat, Zhang Juzheng did not dare to be negligent about the old man. It was not just Xu Jie's cultivation of him, but Zhang Juzheng's understanding of Xu Jie, and Xu Jie decided not to have no backup plan.

Others may think that Xu Jie's back is his disciples, and Zhang Juzheng is sure, not all of them.

Xu Jie has been in the cabinet for more than ten years and the chief minister has fought Yan Song for so long. He has had black materials for countless people in his hands. He also has the reputation of a wise minister in the world. One day, Xu Jie was forced to pull down most of the people on the stage.

But such a naked threat is definitely not Xu Jie's style. It is naturally hidden and not revealed. It is best to be an eternal secret.

Of course, I know that these people should be tacit.

Xu Jie did not look at Zhang Juzheng's expression, and had some self-explanation. He said, "Actually, I have examined every disciple. In the end, I prefer you and Li Chunfang the most. You and him are the two most suitable. Li Chunfang is in the hands of the top scholar. As long as he can integrate the same year of the 26th year of Jiajing, everything will be done. Unfortunately, he has done it. You are smart and have good plans, and your mind is very correct. I don't even care much about it, as a teacher."

"Teacher, I must not dare." Zhang Juzheng said hurriedly.

Xu Jie said: "You don't need to defend yourself. Can't I see my student clearly? And it's because you have a very upright idea. If you don't follow me, you are the only prime minister under my disciple."

Zhang Juzheng never expected that Xu Jie would breathe heavily here. Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, the difference between politicians and politicians is not the skill, but the aura in their hearts. How much difference is Yan Song than Xu Jie? It's not bad at all. If Yan Song is younger, Xu Jie may not be able to calculate.

But as Xu Jie said, no one can always maintain his peak state, and there will always be a day when the rivers are falling. If you insist on opposing the laws of nature, you will suffer oneself.

Every politician has his own political philosophy. Although he is not ruthless in political struggles, his decision is not entirely for his own selfish interests, but for the realization of his political ambitions.

From this point of view, no matter how powerful Yan Song is, he is also a politician. He is also a politician with a bad mind. Although Xu Jie did not strive for his political ideals to the end, he was also a politician.

Li Chunfang obeyed Xu Jie in everything, did he really have no idea in his heart, and felt that Xu Jie's political ideas were correct? Or was it not convenient to object to Xu Jie's ideas based on his own political interests?

Of course, Xu Jie may not have no depressed intentions. The most outstanding disciple under his disciples are different from his own ideas, just like Xunzi is a Confucian scholar. However, Han Feizi is a Legalist. His mood is probably very complicated.

Xu Jie continued: "Li Chunfang was the chief minister, and he was probably unable to defend himself at that time. And you and I also thought about pulling you into the cabinet before leaving, but finally giving up. Do you know why?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "I don't know, but I believe the teacher must be good to the disciples."

Xu Jie said: "I will leave this kind of favor to Zhou Mengchen. Zhou Mengchen has risen too quickly. He has insufficient talents in his snatch. If he had been operating outside for ten years and had been famous all over the world for more than 20 years, there would probably not be many people in the world who can compete with him. But he is too anxious. In this way, he needs help. I guess he will also expand the cabinet after I leave. At that time, he will bring you into the cabinet and believe you more. After all, your relationship has been so many years.

Zhang Juzheng was in his heart and said, "I am stupid, please give me some advice."

Who doesn't want to be the chief minister?

Including Zhang Juzheng.

Although Zhang Juzheng and Zhou Mengchen had an appointment first, Zhang Juzheng also had his own constitution in his heart. His ideas could not be completely consistent with Zhou Mengchen. Now Zhou Mengchen takes the lead. Doesn’t Zhang Juzheng want to catch up again?

Xu Jie said, "Do you really want to hear it?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Of course I want to listen to the teacher's teachings."

Xu Jie said: "The cabinet of this dynasty is not much different from the Political Affairs Hall. The chief minister of the cabinet is the prime minister. Have you ever seen the prime minister for twenty or thirty years in the world?"

Zhang Juzheng immediately found the key point.

Zhou Mengchen is only less than forty years old now. If he retires at the age of 60, he will have twenty years. Although the prime minister has no term, looking at all dynasties, there are not many prime ministers who have served for more than ten years. Almost all are unspoken rules. It is particularly obvious in the Song Dynasty. Ministers who have been in politics for a long time in the Song Dynasty usually served for a few years, go out for a few years, and then transfer them back.

Few people work directly for more than ten years. Even if there are, they are unimportant positions.

Now the cabinet is in great power, such as Yan Song who worked for more than ten years at once, which is not normal, and Yan Song has also proved this with his own life. What will happen if he doesn't want to be in a favorable position?

Zhou Mengchen could not escape this rule.

While others were still worried about what was happening, Xu Jie had seen it for ten years, more than ten years later.

Xu Jie said: "There are only you and me here, so I will explain it clearly. I don't know how many years our Majesty has been, but if Zhou Mengchen does not take the initiative to retreat after ten years of office, he will be imagined. But the government will not be abolished when the country dies. I don't know much about Zhou Mengchen's new policy. But you understand it. In the future, it is most appropriate for you to replace Zhou Mengchen."

"So, from today on, you will forget me. You will be dedicated to doing things for Zhou Mengchen. Even if you are ten years later, you will not be old. Don't be as impatient as Zhou Mengchen. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. This road in life is very long."

"A lot of things have to be taken slowly. However, what I worry most is that you know how to advance but not retreat. You know how to plan for the country, but you don't know how to plan for your own life."

Zhang Juzheng understood whether Xu Jie's advice was indeed certain. Xu Jie's words relieved Zhang Juzheng's psychological burden. Xu Jie also put his future efforts on Zhang Juzheng.

No one has attracted attention at this moment about the changes that have occurred within the Xu Party.

Abandoning Zhou Mengchen.

However, He Xinyin's information cannot reach the core of the Xu Party. Zhou Mengchen didn't know what was wrong with the core of the Xu Party. He was not interested in the matter of the Xu Party at this moment. Because Zhou Mengchen wanted to enter the cabinet as a Grand Secretary of the Dongge.

Ranked third in the cabinet. It is the top priority to gain a firm foothold in the cabinet.

It was only after Zhou Mengchen came to the cabinet that he realized that it was not easy to gain a foothold in the cabinet. In Zhou Mengchen's opinion, the cabinet system was not perfect, so why do you say it?

Because the rights difference between the cabinet chief and the cabinet elder is too big.

As long as the cabinet chief minister wants, he can control all the rights of the cabinet. The so-called other cabinet members can be demoted to the assistant of the cabinet chief minister, rather than his colleagues, which is very, very cold-hearted.

Zhou Mengchen, a senior secretary from the East Pavilion, came to the cabinet for the first time and had almost no contact with any serious government affairs. The person who Xu Jie had to leave did not have the spare time to find trouble for Zhou Mengchen, and the person who was asking for trouble for Zhou Mengchen was not someone else. It was Li Chunfang.

When Li Chunfang knew what Xu Jie was going to leave, she had already taken all the power of the cabinet into her hands. It was also for the preparations for the post-Xu Jie era, so she was very exaggerated to Zhou Mengchen.

The people who were also excluded were newly promoted to the Zhongshu Shei, the new Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing and Zhou Mengchen's students. These students were all served with delicious food and drink when they arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, and others were busy. These people were so idle that they felt sore.

Zhou Mengchen can still accept the cold treatment of Li Chunfang. After all, there are many storms and waves. Li Chunfang's method is a trick among the tricks.
