Yang Tinghe, the youngest secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion and the Grand Secretary of Zuo Chunfang, was promoted to the Zhanshi Mansion, and was responsible for the imperial edicts in the cabinet!

When such an order was issued in the hot summer, the entire capital was in the middle of ice and fire. Unexpectedly, not only Liu Jin, but also Li Dongyang, and even Yang Ting and the person involved couldn't help but feel incredible. He served Zhu Houzhao from the East Palace. At that time, Zhu Houzhao, who was the crown prince, also liked his teaching methods, and of course he had little trust. Otherwise, what his son had made before would have really been a huge disaster. But Li Dongyang had not even mobilized the ministers' recommendation or the court's public opinion, and the emperor suddenly issued an order to raise him one level. Moreover, the cabinet's special order was clearly regarded as a reserve for the cabinet ministers. How could he not be both worried and happy?

As for this news, Xu Xun, who had always been unloved to drink, ordered someone to burn a pot of wine for the first time, filled Zhang Cai with a smile, and then poured a glass of wine himself, then raised his glass with one hand and touched Zhang Cai gently. After he drank it all, he laughed: "Whether Yang Tinghe or Li Dongyang, even Liu Jin could not understand the emperor's temperament. If it weren't for Yang Shen's letter, Yang Tinghe would have to wait for another one or two years, but since his son had made such a lottery, the emperor even praised him for giving him a reward. Why wouldn't Yang Tinghe have risen? In this way... some people should be anxious! If it weren't for Xilu, you wouldn't have accomplished this big thing!"

Regarding Xu Xun's high praise, Zhang Cai naturally spoke humbly: "If the lord had not grasped the emperor's temperament, this plan would never have been effective! But in this way, Liu Jin would inevitably step up the pace of overthrowing Yang. However, it is difficult for them to do things, not to mention that Jiao Fang, Liu Yu and Cao Yuan have always been Liu Jin's confidant support. Even if they are both high-minded and low-key, they are not peerless talents. But after all, they have high positions. If they want to overthrown Liu, they must start with them first. It will inevitably last for a long time, so I have a good plan!"

"Oh? Xilu, you said it's okay!"

When Xu Xun saw Zhang Cai make a mysterious gesture, he immediately followed her thoughtfully. As he listened, his expression changed. Finally, he couldn't help but shout with a pale face: "You need to say nothing, this plan is absolutely not possible!"

Outside the study, Tao Hong and Abao, who were still there, were taking Jin Hong's knowledge in a random way. When the little guy memorized the poems of Tang, they could not help but snatch a sentence from them. In the end, the two couldn't help but look at each other. Abao couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub Jin Hong's head hard: "I said Yuanbao, why do you have such a good memory? I remember that Brother Tao Hong and I had used it for a long time to memorize 300 poems of Tang, but how many poems have you recited?"

"Mr. Tang also praised me for having a good memory." Jin Hong raised his head happily, and then muttered, "Also, Brother Abao, don't call me Yuanbao in the future. I've stopped calling myself Yuanbao for a long time... My name is Jin Hong, Jin Hong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a bang coming from inside. He was startled and immediately closed his mouth. Not to mention Tao Hong and Abao, they hurriedly stood on both sides and left and right. In just a moment, they heard the door open, followed by Zhang Cai's somewhat familiar voice.

"Sir, since I don't accept my good plan, I can only say goodbye!"

Zhang Cai was the former Xing'an Bo Mansion, and now Xing'an Hou Mansion has the most frequent officials, so Tao Hong, Bao and Jin Hong are naturally familiar with this adult. However, they let people out now. They noticed that Zhang Cai's expression was stiff and his steps were fast and fast, clearly having a quarrel with his own young master. So, Tao Hong and A Bao, you looked at me for a while, and finally left Jin Hong outside. The two tiptoed into the room. But they saw a teacup on the table overturned, and the tea flowed all the way from the table to the ground. It looked obvious that Xu Xun was overturned in anger.

"Young Master..."

"Carry it!"

Seeing Xu Xun say this, he left the study without looking back. Tao Hong and Abao suddenly became more cautious and no one dared to ask more questions. After cleaning up the house, they threw all the wet paper into the trash can, and took it to the outside charcoal basin and burned it clean. Then they started whispering in a low voice, and finally agreed that it was the young master and Zhang Cai who had a dispute. As for how this conflict was so powerful, they could only shrug.

Zhang Cai, who looked unhesitant in the face of the Xing'an Marquis Mansion, and also his expression was not very good after that, then he went straight to Xu Xun, the Minister of Personnel Lin Han. These two situations were naturally reported to Liu Jin. Hearing that Zhang Cai, who he really wanted to recruit, had a dispute with Xu Xun, Liu Jin only felt that he was sleepy but touched the pillow. It was almost impossible to believe that such a coincidence would happen. However, when he observed secretly for several days, he found that although Zhang Cai and Xun were still the same as before, he never went to Xing'an Marquis Mansion again, he gradually believed that there was a real conflict between the two.

Due to the increasingly hot weather, many old people in the capital could not stand it. Among the first people to fall ill was Lin Han, who was nearly 80 years old. Although the Minister of Personnel had only mild heatstroke, the diagnosis and treatment of the Imperial Hospital needed to be at peace, so the Ministry of Personnel handed over the acting as a temporary agent. Faced with this natural rule, he originally wanted to invite Zhang Cai to have a conversation and frankly said that he was willing to support him in charge of the examination next year, and was immediately a little difficult to start. As a result, Jiao Fang gave Liu Jin another idea to make him applaud.

"Don't my father-in-law want to deal with Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe? Now that the Ministry of Personnel is controlled by Zhang Cai, and he was born in the Ministry of Personnel, the Wenxuan Department is almost his own, so he asked him to take the lead. On the grounds that the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel was vacant, he said that the court was exhausted for a long time, and Yang Tinghe was the most suitable person, so he asked him to go to the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing to serve as the Left Minister of Personnel! It should be noted that the six ministries in Nanjing have never set up the Left Minister, but only the Right Minister. Zhang Caijiu would never know. If he obeyed the father-in-law's opinion... hehe, then the bento was his letter of favour, and the father-in-law would take the initiative to recruit him. Even if he did not really rely on him in the future, the rift with Xu Xun would be a foregone conclusion!"

Since Liu Jin was rewarded, he naturally made people inform Zhang Cai immediately. What made him excited was that only three days later, Zhang Cai wrote a letter in the name of acting as the Ministry of Personnel to Yang Tinghe, a bachelor of the Zhanshi Mansion and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, to be the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing. Liu Zhong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing. Not only did he happily sent Yang Tinghe to Nanjing, but he also sent Liu Zhong, who had previously criticized the recent fortunes at the lecture. Liu Jin felt that Zhang Cai was very happy to meet his wishes. When he was resting one day, he immediately sent a post to invite Zhang Cai to talk to him.

Since Liu Jin became powerful, whenever he rested, the Liu Mansion in Shajia Hutong was crowded all day long, and many of them were coming to thank him for promotion or release. However, now Liu Jin has become a clique and the rules are much greater than before. Such examples as Zhang Wenmian who can be seen through private visits are naturally no longer possible. No matter whether it is a noble or a civil servant, even if a big boss like Cao Yuan and Liu Yu were not summoned by Liu Jin in advance, he might not have been able to see him for a day. Therefore, when a carriage was parked directly at the door of Liu Mansion on that day, the owner of the carriage did not get off, but came down to hand over a famous post, some officials around who had been waiting since last night could not help but whisper.

"Is he a person who doesn't understand the rules again... Do you think he was still there before? He wanted to see Eunuch Liu with a broken post?"

"That's it. And when the Liu Mansion Gate is what, I don't come down in person and ask a book boy to come forward. I'll tell you, it would be strange if the post is not thrown back!"

"Look at the carriage, the varnished flat head, I don't know which self-righteous scholar is!"

However, amid the discussion, the gatekeeper of the Liu Mansion, who was arrogant and impatient, immediately changed into a diligent expression after hearing the book boy's registration, nodded and said a few words, then ran in with a famous post. After a while, a loud shout came from inside: "Idle people avoid it!"

As a large number of servants ran out of the door to drive out the people. Although a large number of officials waiting to meet Liu Jin were very upset, they had to vacate the large open space at the door. After a while, they saw a person slowly falling down from the carriage parked in front of the door. The man was in his early fifties, with high crowns and bright clothes, white Chen Xiuwei, and awesome, which made people feel ashamed at the sight. Some of them recognized him and couldn't help but shout: "That's Zhang Cai and Zhang Xilu, who is now acting as the Ministry of Personnel. Is he a confidant of the Marquis of Pingbei?"

However, just as a group of people were surprised and puzzled, a scene of eyeballs falling all over the ground appeared again. Liu Jin, who was most arrogant to others, not only personally welcomed him, but after Han Xiao and Zhang Cai met him, he actually took Zhang Cai's hand and welcomed him in. Faced with this incredible situation, countless people opened their mouths and couldn't close them after they opened them.

It has been more than a day or two for Xu Xun to dig his own corner. Liu Jin naturally had a breath in his heart. Although Qian Ning was capable of doing things, his mind was obvious. Therefore, he intended to do this today, just to make things a fait accompli, so that Zhang Cai would regret it and could not change the house. At this moment, he smiled and invited Zhang Cai into the main hall, and invited him to sit down. When the subordinates brought the food and food, he ordered in an unquestionable tone: "No matter who comes to see you again today, as long as it is not the emperor, our family will not see any foreign guests when the sky collapses, and we will only accompany Mr. Xilu here!"

Facing the word "Mr.", Zhang Cai couldn't help but feel slightly moved, but then said with nothing, "How dare the lower-ranking officials be called Mr.

"It's right." Liu Jin smiled and poured a cup for Zhang Cai himself, then smiled, "This late emperor can even call Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, "What can't we do if we call you Mr. Xilu? Mr. Xilu, our family has been looking for you for a long time. If you hadn't helped you this time, how could you break Li Dongyang's arm?"

When Liu Jin actually called Li Dongyang's name, a trace of brightness flashed between Zhang Cai's eyebrows, and then he said with a smile: "My father-in-law is so serious. Yang Shizhai was originally only in the fifth rank, but he was able to become a third rank after the emperor ascended the throne. But after all, he had never had the experience of serving as a real person in the outside world and the department. Now this external transfer is what should be used before. Even if Yuan Fu and Yang Shizhai have some friendship, they can't find any mistakes."

"Yes, yes, it's this truth, it's this truth!" Liu Jin felt happy and nodded repeatedly, "With Mr. Xilu's words, even if anyone has a few words in the future, our family can refute him speechless."

"This is the method of selecting officials by the Ministry of Personnel, and of course no one can let others point fingers."

Zhang Cai said this seriously again. When Liu Jin was diligently urging him to drink again, he didn't even drag it down. He drank directly openly and talked with Liu Jin again, talking and being free and ease. Before he knew it, Liu Jin made up his mind to take the people under his command - even if he turned against Xu Xun immediately, he would do whatever he could.

Therefore, when Zhang Cai suggested that officials who did not take office due to illness would be immediately resigned to the people, and the inspection officials should be stricter. To cure corruption, severe punishments and other items, Liu Jin agreed to it, he finally stood up and bowed deeply and said, "It is precisely because of these items that the Chen was denounced by the Marquis of Pingbei. If the father-in-law really could use these items, the official must do his best!"

Xu Xun was really confused. What are these? Even if there are ten or one hundred, he will definitely agree!

Liu Jin sneered secretly, immediately stood up and helped Zhang Cai up with both hands: "Mr. Xilu are all good strategies for governing the country. Our family is already in line with you, so we will definitely adopt it! Come on, let's give you a cup!"

When Liu Jin was holding a pot to toast Zhang Cai in his private house, Lin Han, who was recovering from heatstroke, was lying on the Xiangfei bamboo couch with a soft towel that had been thrust with well water on his forehead. Seeing Xu Xun sitting there thoughtfully, he finally couldn't help but lift the thing and turned over and sat up, shouting angrily, "Do you know Shizhen, this is the reputation of a corrupt person!"

"Did Lord Lin think I didn't object?" Xu Xun smiled bitterly. Seeing that Lin Han was still furious, he simply stepped forward and helped him lie down. He picked up a soft towel and twisted it into the basin to apply it to the forehead. Then he said helplessly, "I might as well tell Lord Lin that the dispute in the study that day had arisen because of this. As a result, Zhang Xilu left. Then everyone knew that I had a quarrel with him, so that Liu Jin took advantage of the situation."

"This Zhang Xilu...this Zhang Xilu!"

Lin Han muttered several times, and finally sighed: "With this method of serving the thief, he really doesn't want his reputation... You asked me and Gongshi if they were willing to leave their reputation in the capital to turn the tide, we still hesitated, and once thought that even if I endured humiliation, I would have to bear the burden of humiliation, but unexpectedly, there were people who could endure humiliation more than the two old men... Zhang Xilu, a young and strong man, dared to do this, let alone us? Lin Zhiyong, I personally studied a book and asked my boss to invite him personally. If he still refused to come out of the mountain, I would even drag the old bones to go and say that he would make a comeback! This is the overall situation, and he would not allow him to give up!"

Xu Xun looked at Lin Han who was haggard, hesitated for a moment and said, "I have asked the imperial physician about his illness. He is old and weak and needs rest. The Ministry of Personnel is busy. If he continues to work hard, it may hurt his health even more... Lord Lin, please don't glar at me first, and listen to me. Now that things are here, it's better..."

After Lin Han heard Xu Xun's humble words, he lay down again for a while. After a long time, he said firmly: "Okay, I'll follow your plan!"

ps: The group of people who were classified as Liu Jin's party members for several months have suffered, and they have found that there are many people who are wronged. Kang Hai will not say that the unlucky Zhenxin helps people, but the most regrettable Zhenxin is Zhang Cai, a great man...
