Gao Gong called the emperor, but after a long time, there was no movement. It turned out that Zhu Zai'an had already taken Feng Bao to escape from the back door. Gao Gong only came back, shook his head repeatedly, and said, "If you don't make a weapon, you won't make a weapon!"

There was no one around at the corner, and Li Yanzhi said softly: "If you are too good at it, I'm afraid that your life will be difficult for Suqing."

Gao Gong said seriously: "Your Majesty does not have to rule the world by himself, but as an example of the people, you should not act too casually!"

Li Yanzhi said: "The emperor is also a human being. You are too tight to suppress him, and you are afraid that something will happen. People always use moral dictates to tighten him, and live like a puppet. Who can bear it? So when you should relax, I think he should be an ordinary person."

Gao Gong glanced at Li Yan and said unabashedly: "Don't Li like this, is it necessary to keep Your Majesty in captivity?"

"This word is used unpleasantly." Li Yanzhi frowned slightly and said, "Emperor Zhu is just an ordinary person. I just hope to help him live the life of an ordinary person as much as possible. This is a good thing for him and the country."

Gao Gong said seriously: "The king is wise and respectful to the ministers. This is the blessing of the country. If the superiors are obscene, how can they control the world?"

After all, he was a famous official. Although he took advantage of Li Yanzhi's Qingfeng to the throne, he was a great minister of the cabinet and stood firm, unlike the way he was as flattered as he was in Shanghai.

Li Yanzhi was slightly stunned, as if he was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything else.

Therefore, the place was a secret residence, so the two of them did not stay much, but came to the cabinet first. On the way, Li Yanzhi asked about the situation in the capital, and Gao Gong said, "The governor made great contributions outside the capital, and our status in the capital naturally became more and more stable. In the past six months, the villains didn't dare to stand out. As for those fence-bearing people, they had already fallen over and no one spoke for the kings. As for the Supreme Emperor, he was very at peace in Tianjin and had no other things to do."

Li Yanzhi was led by the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, and he was also a cabinet minister. He did not need to be approved by others to enter and exit the cabinet. When Xu Jie saw him, he was stunned: "Yanzhi, why did you come so quickly? Are you still in Tongzhou?"

Li Yanzhi smiled and said, "The students rushed to see Master Xu, so they avoided the meaningless people on the road."

Xu Jie also laughed: "I think you want to see what the capital is like."

The teacher and student laughed loudly. Xu Jie turned around and looked at the walking several times. The walking people were very clever and immediately stepped out. Even Gao Gong also took the excuse to leave something for them. When he was outside, he met Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng asked, "Is Li Youxi here?"

Gao Gong nodded and said, "Your news is fast."

Zhang Juzheng looked at the situation where Gao Gong and the crowd walked out one after another, but did not go in, just sat outside, chatting with Gao Gong, and suddenly said, "From Suqing, will the overall situation of the world change when Li Youxi enters Beijing this time?"

Gao Gong said, "The door will open later, won't we know?"

When Xu Jie and Li Yanzhi were left in the room, Xu Jie shook Li Yanzhi's hand and said, "Yanzhi, we haven't seen each other for several years. Although we have been writing letters, we are worse than meeting each other." Seeing that Li Yanzhi's eyes were slightly wrinkled, but his skin was still smooth, he stroked his beard and sighed, "Yanzhi, you are in your prime, it's okay to work for another thirty years, but I'm old..."

This sentence is just a sigh that time flies, but in fact it contains mystery: Li Yanzhi is now the most respected person, but Xu Jie is only one shoulder, but the weight of real power is better than Xu Jie! Once Xu Jie leaves office, no one can suppress him, let alone power, even in his fame. Li Yanzhi is too young and serves as the country to rule at an early age of thirty years. As Xu Jie said, even if he works for another thirty years, it is completely fine. With the weakening of the monarchy, the powerful minister who has made great contributions and has no trouble in the country for thirty years. Therefore, Xu Jie's words actually secretly reveal his own hidden worries, and it is also a temptation.

Li Yanzhi smiled softly and said, "I don't want to work for another thirty years? I don't want to be so tired. At most, I will go back to Fujian to 'picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely see the southern mountain'."

Xu Jie raised his eyelids and said, "Ten years? Are you willing to bear it?"

Li Yanzhi said, "There is nothing to be willing to give up, but ten years are enough."

"What enough to do?"

Li Yan counted in a brief manner and said, "First, it is to cultivate rising talents and make the court in the army have pillars. In this way, we will have no worries after we travel around the countryside."

Xu Jie nodded slightly: "Yeah, it's not bad."

Li Yanzhi bent his index finger again: "The second is to reform the imperial examination..."

Xu Jie was slightly surprised: "Reform the imperial examination?"

"Yes," Li Yan said straight: "Our court has opened a vocational school to obtain scholars, so that civilians can break through the limits of wealth and poverty, and be able to advance to the official career. However, only the eight-part scholars have been misleading all the scholars. Students dare not say that the people selected for the eight-part scholar essay have no real talent or knowledge..." He said this and smiled, pointed at Xu Jie and pointed at himself: "Mr. Xu and I have also experienced this, but, if the law of recruiting scholars is more reasonable, so that the scholars in the world can read useful books, and the imperial examinations can obtain more useful talents, wouldn't that be better?"

Xu Jie sighed: "This... is afraid it's very difficult!" Although he also came from the imperial examination, he knew very well about the disadvantages of the eight-legged essay and hated him very much. However, he knew even more that if he wanted to reform the imperial examination, he would encounter such a terrible pressure. In recent years, he and Li Yanzhi undermined the emperor, a king who was a real general and a prime minister. What he encountered was the conservative forces of the royalists, but if he wanted to take the imperial examination, he might offend the entire Shilin class. This was definitely not something that the central government could solve by establishing a law.

"Of course it's difficult." Li Yan said straight and said, "If it's not difficult, why spend ten years? This battle is long and the students will fight slowly."

Xu Jie sighed and said, "Yanzhi, if you can really accomplish these two things, you will be the number one hero since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can defeat you."

Li Yan smiled and said, "I don't care about the first hero, but these two things alone are not enough. I also hope to take advantage of my youth and work hard for a few years to leave a good foundation for the court, so that this country has no worries about overturning and wealth available inside."

Xu Jie pondered: "Are you going to launch troops against Japan?"

Li Yanzhi didn't answer directly, but said, "Suqing and Uncle are outside. Why don't you ask them to come in and discuss, how about it?"

Xu Jie pondered for a moment, but said, "Since you want to discuss, you might as well invite the Grand Secretary of the Qi Cabinet and the Minister of War..." He paused and said, "There is also the Emperor, everyone will discuss and discuss."

Li Yan said straight: "Master? Is it necessary?"

Xu Jie said: "The Emperor Tiansheng is smart and has been diligent in recent years. He has a unique understanding of national affairs. As long as he has not lost his moral virtue, we should not do it too much."

Li Yanzhi's eyes flashed, and after a while, he said, "Okay, let's decide for a while, let's discuss together with the monarch and minister."

Xu Jie asked: "Do you want to meet the Japanese envoy first?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "How to deal with Japan's affairs? The right lies with me - what do they do when they see them!"

When the pavilion door opened, not only Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng outside the door, but Ouyang De and Feng Qi also came. Li Yan raised his hand to say goodbye to them. Gao Gong looked at Xu and Li's faces, and thought to himself.

Ouyang De came in and saw that Gao Gong was still outside, and asked in a low voice: "Donald Zhenhai..."

Xu Jie closed his eyes and shook his head in a very small way.

Zhang Juzheng sent Li Yanzhi out and asked before leaving: "Mr. Li, I just saw you and Master Xu, and it seemed that there was something unhappy."

Li Yanzhi smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, we are average, we are the same age again. You have entered the cabinet now and have similar status. When you meet, you won't call me a man. You can call me a character."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and shouted again: "Brother Yanzhi."

Li Yanzhi said again: "Master Xu, he has been in Beijing for a long time and is a little confused. Hehe! It's okay, the country's fortune is booming now, and some small problems are not going to get in the way."

So he said goodbye to the sedan chair and returned to his Zhenhai Gong mansion. Feng Qi and Jiang Yifan asked, "Is it a conflict with Mr. Xu when he entered the pavilion today?"

Li Yanzhi told the situation in the cabinet, and Jiang Yifan said in surprise: "Geor Xu will not be here today, and he still has the plan to return the government to the king, right?"

"It shouldn't be so." Feng Qi said: "What Master Xu has done with us is that he can live a life and whip the body when he dies! He has been in the temple for decades, so he can't even see through this, right?"

"Maybe he is really confused." Li Yan said straight: "Or maybe, he was afraid that I would take charge of the court, so he wanted to move out the emperor to check and balance me. Humph!"

Li Yanzhi was both a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Navy Governor's Office. He entered the court and controlled the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty. He was really a "general and prime minister" - especially when the power of the general and prime minister is weak, it is naturally arguing that such a person who combines military power and regimes is arguing.

Feng Qi thought repeatedly in his heart and said, "The emperor is a tiger. It is easy to release a tiger and difficult to block a tiger! Master Xu will not understand this principle. I think he is just making a gesture, taking the key to gesture at the tiger cage door, and he has no intention of really unlocking the lock. In fact, he is still worried that Sanshe you will dominate. If Sanshe you can take a step back, I think Mr. Xu will definitely have a statement."

Jiang Yifan said: "Are you talking about compromising with him?"

"Yes," Feng Qi said: "We have worked with Mr. Xu for so many years and have been very smooth. There is really no need to have a breakup when it is about to happen. Besides, Sanshe and Mr. Xu have a teacher-student friendship, and it would be unbeautiful if there is a gap."

When Jiang Yifan heard this, he wanted to speak but stopped.

Li Yanzhi had no expression on his face. This expression lasted for a cup of tea before he sneered and said, "Teachers and students...Teachers and students... Humph! What teachers and students should I talk about before the national event!" (To be continued.
