The next morning, Chen Si returned to the cabinet. He thought he was early enough, but he didn't expect Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were both there. Gao Gong sat behind the huge mahogany desk table, and Zhang Juzheng stood by and said something. Seeing Chen Si coming in, the two of them shut up at the same time. Zhang Juzheng nodded to Chen Si, and Gao Gong smiled and said, "Jiangnan, did you sleep peacefully last night?"

"The first night I got home, I lost insomnia." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly. Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's eyes were all black and Gao Gong's eyes were covered with bloodshot, he smiled and said, "You two don't seem to have good sleep."

"The strings were too tight a few days ago and hadn't adjusted for a while." Zhang Juzheng smiled and sat back on his seat.

"Yes," Gao Gong also smiled, "I'm old and can't help but have things, and I'll never be as stormy as I used to be."

When I was silent, I realized something was wrong... People's words and deeds are inertia, especially this unintentional gossip, which can reveal the atmosphere they were talking before. If the two were arguing or the conversation was unpleasant, they would never answer themselves in such a consistent manner.

He sat back in his seat with suspicion and looked at Zhang Siwei silently. He saw that the other party still looked down and his eyes were still looking excited on his face... Because just yesterday, Yang Bo came back, which at least means that Ziwei could no longer be ignored, because his voice would represent the attitude of another person.

However, Yang Bo's return was not good news for Chen Mo and Gao Gong, because before Ding You, the old man's official position was the Minister of Personnel and Minister of War. According to the rules, he would have to be restored after he was reinstated, or at least one on both ends. The position of Tianguan had been occupied by Gao Gong for four years. During this period, many ministers impeached him for autocracy and overstepped the power, but he just did not withdraw because this was the basis for his revision. Although Chen Mo was not the Minister of War, the current super-major who owned the "Eighteen Doctors of the Two Shangshus" was his people from top to bottom. Even if he was not in the capital for a few years, no one could mix sand for him.

In short, the Ministry of Personnel is Gao Gong's power foundation, and the Ministry of War is the foundation of silent power. How can others sleep on the side of the bed? If it were others, they would not dare to rob them, but that was Yang Bo, the only remaining genius in the world in the Jiajing Dynasty, the real boss of the Shanxi Gang, and one of the masterminds of Xu Jie who was at the peak of his life. This time, he returned with a strong return by the imperial edict, and he would definitely be able to eat meat.

Should he return to the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of War? This is a question, a question that lies between Gao Gong and silence. Who will make this sacrifice? Or sacrifice together?

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

The cabinet meeting was held in a delicate atmosphere. After discussing several matters of the Ministry of Revenue, Gao Gong turned the topic to the Ministry of War and said to Chen Si: "You will be responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of War, so that the emperor can rest assured..." After a pause, he brought the words to the main topic: "In recent years, you have not been in charge of the ministry, and some generals have made it very unreasonable. We have to rectify it well." As he said, he pointed to the memorial on the desk and sent it to Chen Si: "Look, Du Huazhong is making trouble again. This time, you have also participated in your beloved generals."

He took the memorial silently and looked on ten times a day. He saw that it was the case that the Fujian inspector Du Huazhong impeached Ji Liao General Qi Jiguang for personal gain and fraud to open up the joints of his former subordinates. The cause of the incident was at the end of last year. Du Huazhong submitted a memorial to impeach Jin Ke, who had served as the Fujian general, and Zhu Yu, two generals and officials, who were once the Fujian general, seriously embezzled. However, the Ministry of War ordered the Fujian Governor to interrogate the case. The Fujian Governor also ruled the case to the Du Commander Office, rather than the judicial inspector Office. As a result, the two were not dealt with, but were transferred to Hetao for the matter.

This is obvious protection from officials. Du Huazhong was certainly unhappy, so he came to the public to impeach him again. He said why the Ministry of War handed over this case to the governor? Why didn't the governor hand it over to a special judicial organ and hand it over to an institution that had nothing to do with it? These are not allowed in the system! The evidence of the two people's corruption was obvious, but they were only transferred to the north to suspend use... All of this shows that someone must be colluding to cover up the criminals.

Moreover, Du Huazhong insisted that it was gold. Zhu Er general bribed Qi Jiguang, the current general of Ji Liao, and then Qi Jiguang helped them to establish the relationship between the Ministry of War to avoid punishment. Du Huazhong asked the court to severely punish this and to correct its authority!

After reading it, Chen Shi realized that Qi Jiguang might have caused a big disaster. Because Du Huazhong dared to make such a convincing statement, he must have obtained some inside information. He also knew that Qi Jiguang was a person who liked to form cliques and resolved problems by giving gifts and giving relationships. But now he could not express his opinion, and he only said calmly: "I will send a letter to the person who was intercepted today to verify this matter."

"..." It's not obvious that you are so arrogant just by the emperor. Once the emperor dies, you will definitely not be able to beat the Chen surname! So you have to take advantage of the emperor's presence and quickly take action? Although this is the reason, it is really harsh to Gao Gong, who is very esteemed. He frowned for a long time and could not think of a refutation, so he had to change the topic: "By the way, look at this letter." Then he took out the letter Zhang Juzheng received yesterday.

Han Ji looked at the letter and was secretly surprised. He could not have thought that Zhang Juzheng, the prime minister, could seek peace with Gao Gong in such a humble tone. In addition, the letter mentioned Gao Gong's 60th birthday. A few days ago, he discussed with a few people in Gao Gong's mansion in the same year, and wanted to make a good fun in the capital and make a living in the capital and show his reputation. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Gao Gong decided not to disturb his colleagues and congratulate him only between relatives and disciples. In this way, the preparations for Gao Gong's birthday banquet were carried out secretly according to his wishes. Therefore, not many officials knew about Gao Gong's birthday. But now Zhang Juzheng wrote to him to celebrate his birthday first. Gao Gong's disciple would not tell Zhang Juzheng about his birthday. Of course, Zhang Juzheng had remembered Gao Gong's birthday before, and this carefulness was even scary...

After Han Ji read the letter, Gao Gong told him what happened this morning... It turned out that at dawn today, Gao Gong's sedan chair had just arrived at Zuo'anmen and met Zhang Juzheng who had been waiting there. Because yesterday's letter was used as a prelude, Gao Gong did not ignore him as usual. Instead, he got off the sedan chair and walked on Chang'an Street instead of walking on Chang'an Street to see what he had to say.

Zhang Juzheng said silly again and finally spoke in a low voice: "I don't know anything about Cao Daye, and I dare not say that, but I really didn't expect Zhao Dazhou to do that. Now that things are like this, nothing can be said to recover the damage to Yuan Fu. I only hope that the public will forgive his servant's sins."

Gao Gong was silent when he heard this, and then said angrily: "The spirit of the ancestors of ghosts and gods in heaven and earth is above. How do I treat you well on weekdays, but you have bad intentions to me. Why are you so unfaithful?"

"Why will I refuse for this?" Zhang Juzheng said with a panic: "I hope that Yuan Weng will forgive my sins, and I will punish myself and correct myself. If I dare to be unfaithful again, I have six sons and will die one day!"

This sentence seemed to open the floodgate, and Gao Gong squirted his saliva angrily, cursing from Chang'an Street to Huijimen, all the bad words came out. Zhang Juzheng was secretly happy. It was not that he was a humble person, but that Gao Gong had this temper. If he treated you as an enemy, he would not say much nonsense. Only when he thought that the two people were in conflicts among the people and you were a saved target would he be as merciless as scolding. But as long as he cursed, his anger would disappear and he would treat you as his own person again.

Zhang Juzheng's actions seemed to be very repentant. But Han Ji was still worried and said: "Although he was very docile everywhere, there was probably something deceitful about it, so he must not relax his vigilance."

"Haha..." Gao Gong said dismissively: "Zhang Zi is very smart. He knows who his real enemy is. With me, he can still protect him. If I leave, he will have to follow the bedding and get out of here."

"It's better to be cautious." Han Ji thought for a while, and gave Gao Gong an idea, "It's better to do this. Didn't Zhang Juzheng write a letter to celebrate his birthday and ask himself what he can do? You might as well ask him to give a birthday preface for the teacher, and use his writing and evaluation to guess what he really thinks."

Gao Gong also thought this was a good idea, so he happily asked Han Ji to find Zhang Juzheng.
