.Chapter 821: The Blades of the Blades are unlucky (Part 1)

Wenyuan Pavilion, the chief minister’s duty room.

Hearing him putting a high hat on himself, Xu Jie's expression did not relax. He knew that he was just trying to suppress himself. He pursed his lips and listened to Zhu Heng and continued: "It is precisely because of the expectations of the court and the country that you must not be biased..."

"How did I be biased?" Xu Jie took a sip of tea and lowered his eyelids.

"When is it?" Zhao Zhenji suddenly appeared and said, "You are still protecting Zhang Taiyue, is it really your own life?" People are tortured by setbacks and lose their temper, but Zhao Zhenji is the one who is getting older and more fierce, and he becomes more courageous as he gets to the point of not suffering any loss until he dies.

With a 'bang', Xu Jie put the teacup heavily on the table, glared at Zhao Zhenji and said, "You are also known as everyone, why do you learn from the shrew to spread rumors?!"

Seeing that Master Xiangzhen was really angry, Zhao Zhenji could only suppress his temper and said in a muffled voice: "My teacher forgives me, I am also anxious. Now the tide outside has begun, and the calls for severe punishment of the murderer have been louder than the wave, and there is already a huge momentum! If you always cover yourself, you will be in a hurry..."

"Oh, you have a temper. Sooner or later, you have to suffer a loss..." Xu Jie sighed deeply, no longer seeing him.

"As long as the teacher is good, I will suffer a loss, and where can I lose?" In order to convince Xu Jie, Zhao Zhenji refused to hesitate and said, "You are always our pillar and the head of our family, but you must not make any mistakes!" As he said that, he let out a slutty breath and said, "I am not afraid of you talking about it, but today's situation is caused by that kid Zhang Juzheng. You are still protecting him. Let's not talk about others, we will not want to do it now!"

Xu Jie sighed again. The thing he was most worried about has always happened... The people of Xu Party decided to give up Zhang Juzheng regardless of their own wishes. This matter itself is not terrible. What is terrible is the information behind it... People's hearts are dispersed, so you won't listen to your greetings!

What Xu Jie cares more about losing Zhang Juzheng is losing control of his party members. He knew that if he could not convince Zhu Heng and Zhao Zhenji, the people below would act without permission, and the huge force he had worked hard to build would fall apart, which he could not accept.

"I am very moved by your heart." So Xu Jie could only say patiently: "But I have to say, your ideas are too naive."

The two of them didn't say anything, waiting for him to say something childish.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This case is so complicated, but it is simple, just a matter of just one sentence." Xu Jie was not in a hurry and said slowly to them: "If you investigate Wang Tingxiang, you will find Li Chunfang, and Li Chunfang will find Zhang Juzheng... If even Zhang Juzheng was found out, I would not have the face to stand in the court?" He paused: "To be honest, it was my mistake. I thought that if my words suffered some grievances, I could turn this big and small things into pieces." As he said, he sighed helplessly, "Who knew that it would become more and more intense and the trouble would become more and more uncontrollable." Why did the situation Xu Ge Lao would have like that when he heard that Longqing had come to Zuo'anmen that day, it was because he knew that he had made a wrong plan again... This case could not be covered.

When the sacrificial text was released, it was like adding fuel to the fire, causing Xu Ge Lao to completely fall into a passive state. In everyone's eyes, he must immediately cut off his arm.

Zhao Zhenji and Zhu Heng came this time to represent the Xu Party. First, they were asking for advice, and second, they were asking Xu Jie to put the overall situation first and not blindly favoritism.

Hearing Xu Jie exclaimed his hardships, Zhao Zhenji thought to himself: 'If I had known today, why should I have been there in the beginning!" Then he sighed and said, "At that time, I said that the dead were gone, so what if I give Hu Zongxian the supreme honor? I gave up the festival with him, but the minister still couldn't give up."

"This is not a question of whether to hate or not." Xu Jie shook his head and said, "He is not Hanlin, and he cannot give the word 'wen'. Secondly, it is 'zhong' or 'xiang'. I strongly advocated the destruction of his military power. This time I gave him the word 'zhong'. How could I give him the word 'zhongxiang'?" As he said, he was a little depressed: "In fact, it is appropriate to give 'xiangmin'. It's just that someone wants to take advantage of the issue. Even if you give 'zhongxiang', he will do it!"

"Who wants to take advantage of the problem?" Zhao Zhenji said in shock, and Zhu Heng also looked at Xu Jie nervously.

"..." Xu Jie fell into silence. In fact, when Zhang Juzheng reminded him that day, he realized that he had been plotted by Shen Mo. It was ridiculous that he thought that Shen Mo took the initiative to suppress the case and did not dare to conflict with him. Unexpectedly, Shen Mo was like Chengzu who was able to stop his horse and sneak after discovering the Mongolian camp and not launch an attack immediately. It was not because he was afraid of the Mongolians, but just hoped to win at the lowest price.

Of course, until now, Xu Jie did not think that Shen Mo would set his goal on him. Because the Ming Dynasty relied on a "constitutional basis" to maintain it, the heaven, earth, king, and teacher must not be violated. Although the territory of the Ming Dynasty was large, there was no place for those who deceived their masters and destroyed their ancestors to establish a cone; no matter how prosperous the holy relatives were, they could not protect a evil beast who looked at the constitution of nothing!

So unless Shen Mo wants to die together, there will never be the idea of ​​bringing down the prime minister. As for his real motive, Xu Jie thought it was because he wanted to force himself to clean up his door and truly establish his position as prime minister. After repeated consideration, Mr. Xu was sure that there would be no mistake. In addition to being cold, he couldn't help but secretly admire that it was really arsenic mixed with garlic, which was poisonous and spicy. This student was already out of his reach!

What made Xu Jie even more helpless was that Shen Mo used completely open conspiracy and put all his skills outside the play... For example, he created momentum for Hu Zongxian in the folk in advance. If there were no operas, storytelling, and sings in the folk all day long, Hu Zongxian's reputation would not have risen sharply and was already comparable to Yu Qian. That thing would not have been as difficult as it is now.

People are sitting in front of their kung fu, and now they are sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, watching the changes in the wind and clouds. But they are unknowingly, how can they not be passive everywhere?

The most annoying thing is that he knew he was making trouble, but he could not fight back. Because, first of all, Shen Mo did not leave any handle, but instead firmly established a image of being wronged and sympathetic. At this time, it would be a problem to hit him. Secondly, he was pushed to the forefront, and anything happens now may become the straw that crushes the camel. At this time, it is only a matter of more things, but it is better to have less things than less things. Everything has to be said after passing this level.

It can be said that although Xu Jie has been known for his turtle magic skills since his debut, he is an expert in treating losses as food, but he has never eaten such a great loss that he can't swallow, can't say, can't play with, and can't handle it!

I could only be nervous. After passing this level, even if I was seriously injured by my energy, I would never be able to turn over forever!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seeing Xu Jie's face full of depression and murderous aura, but he didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Zhenji had to speak out: "Shi Xiang, Shi Xiang..."

Xu Jie then came to his senses and sighed, "Forget it, I won't talk about him." Then he cleared his throat and said seriously: "Go back to the point, the so-called hero cut off his arm may have survived the hero at the beginning; but now, the situation has changed suddenly, and the government and the public are paying attention to this matter more than several times? Whether it is Wang Tingxiang or Li Chunfang, even if they were able to keep secrets for us, it was because 'keep the green mountains and don't worry about burning firewood'. But now once they are caught and not drowned by the spitting stars, they can only find a bent neck tree to hang..." He then said word by word: "Either, they have to keep them all, or they and I die together, do you understand?"

Zhao Zhenji and Zhu Heng looked at each other. After all, they were just outsiders. Although they knew the situation was serious, they did not expect it to be so serious... Xu Jie was right. Once it became a case, how could he, as the chief minister, have no face to keep going? He could only put the bed and go home.

"What should I do?" The two of them finally realized that Mr. Xu was helpless and depressed.

"There are two ways." Xu Jie picked up the teacup and took a sip. He found that it was already cold. He couldn't help but put down the cup and said with a pity.

"Which two?" the two asked in unison.

"Should you go or retreat, endure for a while, and the waves are calm, and take a step back and the sky is wide open." Xu Jie said lightly: "Don't worry, this game of chess is still in my hands. If I don't help, I will retreat. Not only will this case be over, I'm afraid that even those who have ulterior motives will be choked to death by the waves caused!"

"You must not think about this until you have no way out." The two of them calmed down by Xu Jie's determination and hurriedly said: "The Ming Dynasty cannot live without Yuan Weng, and we cannot live without Yuan Weng!"

"There is no one who cannot leave, no one will change when they leave." Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will not retreat unless I have to." Although he kept the word "retreat" all day long, Xu Jie knew that the gap between the court and the wilderness was so big, just like wearing a sharp-stricken and bare-handed fist against bare hands. Although he might not necessarily lose, it was too difficult.

So as long as there is a possibility, he will not retreat...

"If you don't want to retreat, then you will only have a last name." Zhu Heng asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, you don't have to endure it for long," Xu Jie said, "There are eight days left for the New Year. As long as you endure these eight days, the wind and waves will be quiet."

"Why?" Zhu Heng said.

"Because this year is the year of the big competition." The answer was Zhao Zhenji. As the Minister of Rites, he was naturally more sensitive to these things, saying: "Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the creditors did not collect debts and the yamen did not open. After the New Year, there was less than a month before the spring examination. During this period, scholars were the most honest and did not dare to speak loudly, for fear that they would be taken advantage of and could not get the exam.

"Yes, the main thing is that the scholars are making trouble, but they really dare not make trouble for the big things for life." Xu Jie nodded and said, "After the exam, they still have to be honest. As long as they spend the last moment before the ranking is released, it will be another month. The Chinese people are forgetful and have not known what new things they have paid attention to in nearly three months."

"So, just a few days before the New Year?" Zhu Heng asked in a deep voice: "It's not difficult. At the end of the year, the court has a lot of things to do."

Zhao Zhenji also realized Xu Jie's skill and thought to himself that he was better than a move without any moves, and he was really worthy of being the head of the Turtle Sect. He laughed dryly and said, "So we are in vain..."

"You are right to be anxious." Xu Jie said slowly, "It's not that I won't deal with those people, but I have to wait until the storm is over and I'll talk about it again. Now I can only bear it hard." After that, I looked at the two of them and said, "The clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old. At the critical moment, I have to rely on you old friends to resist." Faced with an unprecedented crisis, Xu Jie knew that it was useless to just rely on his mouth to say something practical, so he said, "I used to prefer young people, and felt that the Yangtze River pushed the old waves, and the facts proved that this was wrong... The court still had to rely on the elders to stabilize."

As he said that, he said to Zhao Zhenji first: "After the New Year, I will arrange for you to enter the cabinet. You need to start preparing."

Even though Zhao Zhenji is not fame and fortune, joining the cabinet is a huge temptation for him. What he can do is to keep his face tight and nod, so as not to lose face.

Xu Jie turned to Zhu Heng again and said, "Facts have proved that the Censorate cannot do without you. This time, there is no restraint from Wang Ting. You have to take the burden back."

Zhu Heng was not interested in the Censorate. He prefers to engage in water conservancy, but he also knew that this was considered a matter of being ordered in the face of danger and could not be shirked. So he also thanked him lightly.

Seeing their calm appearance, Xu Jie felt tired. This is why he doesn't like to use the old guys. He puts on the noses and pretends to be like a person! He is not very obedient.

After saying everything he should have explained, he didn't want to see the two of them again, so he said to the guest: "Many people are still worried. Don't be here to guard me, and tell those who haven't come, don't be afraid, don't move around, just celebrate the New Year with peace of mind."

The two nodded and said yes, then stood up and said goodbye.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as they left, Xu Jie's strong energy suddenly burst out. He leaned on the back of the chair dejectedly and said tiredly to the old servant: "Help me..." and he refused to say more.

Fortunately, the old servant served him for many years and knew what Xu Jie meant, so he helped him move to the recliner, adjusted his comfortable position, and then covered him with a blanket.

When he moved to the least effortless position, Xu Jie finally wanted to speak again, and said to the old servant in a hoarse voice: "I'm so tired... Others are enjoying their grandchildren at my age and enjoying their youth. What do you think I'm trying to do?"

The old servant smiled honestly and said, "For the emperor and the people, for our Ming Dynasty..."

"Haha..." After hearing his answer, Xu Jie smiled tiredly, and said in a vague voice: "Yes, not..." and then he entered his dream deeply.
