The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Xu Jie hurriedly resigned and went to look for Zhang Bi and Shen Shixing overnight.

Gao Gong frowned slightly.

When the prince saw it, he thought that Gao Gong was afraid that Xu Jie would make too many contributions, so he comforted him: "Master Gao, you are the most trusted and valued master of the lonely king, and you must be the chief assistant in the future."

..............

Gao Gong smiled bitterly and said, "Prince, am I, Gao Gong, a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable and can't tolerate others? I'm just worried that Xu Jie will be cheated by Yan Song again?"

The crown prince disapproved and said: "Master Xu Jie is also a dragon among men, absolutely extraordinary. How could he fall into Yan Song's trick again?"

He yawned: "It's late at night, the lonely king is going to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng resigned.

……

……

Xu Jie first went to Shen Shi's house.

Although Shen Shixing is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he does not seek refuge with anyone in the court, and forms a hidden faction. Because of his outstanding ability, he is extremely trusted by Jiajing.

Although it was already night at this time, the butler knew that Xu Jie and Master Shen Shixing were from the same village, and they knew each other informally, so he brought Xu Jie to the study.

When Xu Jie saw Shen Shixing, he congratulated him first of all, and he will be pushed by the court tomorrow. It is a certainty that he, the Minister of Rites, will enter the cabinet.

Shen Shixing was noncommittal, smiled and shook his head.

Xu Jie then told him exactly why he came and the prince's intention to recruit him, and then began to talk all the time, encouraging Shen Shixing to bring down Yan Song together.

"You are going to join the cabinet soon. You probably know the rules of my Ming cabinet," Xu Jie said in a low voice.

"Know a thing or two." Shen Shixing said flatly.

Chapter 417 Winning over Shen Shixing and Zhang Bi [Chapter 7! 】

"Then I will speak directly!" Xu Jie said: "My cabinet of the Ming Dynasty is divided into three types based on the time and qualifications of the cabinet, the first assistant, the second assistant and the cabinet member. Although you are the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, after entering the cabinet, you can only Ranked fourth! After the first assistant Yan Song, the second assistant Zhang Bi, and Xu Zan, he is named Ge Lao and is actually Yan Song's errand."

Shen Shixing nodded: "So what?"

Xu Jie said viciously: "If Yan Song doesn't fall, you, the fourth elder, will survive the year of the monkey to be the chief assistant? Why don't you join the crown prince this time and overthrow Yan Song?"

The cabinet is a place where seniority is judged. As long as the people in the front don't leave, the positions will not be vacant.

Xu Jie said eloquently: "Since ancient times, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach "[-]"! If Yan Song's chief assistant did not die on the beach, even if you entered the cabinet, you would not be able to be the chief assistant. "

He persuaded again: "If you are willing to stand on the prince's side, you will overthrow Yan Song, Xu Zan and Zhang Bi are old, the prince will make you the chief assistant sooner or later!"

Shen Shixing was silent for a while, and said calmly: "Gentlemen are party members but not groups, small crowds are not party members, why?"

Xu Jie looked at his book on the Ministry of Rites, and when there was no one around in the middle of the night, he still had to be serious. He dropped the book bag, and said with a dumbfounded smile, "Are you still playing with me?"

Shen Shixing shook his head and said solemnly: "You are the official of Ming Dynasty, I am Minister of Rites, and we are important ministers of the Ming court, so we must be cautious about our independence and words."

Xu Jie also had no choice but to become serious, shaking his head and saying: "The so-called gentlemen are party but not group, it is said that gentlemen gather together because of their like-mindedness, but it is not because of interests. Aspirations of the same heart."

He earnestly and kindly said: "But we are here to assist the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty and bravely fight against the treacherous minister Yan Song. Isn't this just a party of gentlemen and not a group? We are not trying to pull you into a party for personal gain, but to trip up treacherous ministers and reorganize Daming!" "

Shen Shixing stared at Xu Jie for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "Only this once!"

Xu Jie was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shixing was moved by him and agreed to join hands with the prince.

As a minister of the Ministry of Rites, his influence is not just one vote.

The Book of the Ministry of Rites is also in charge of the Hanlin Academy, Guozijian Jijiu, and the Minister of Honglu Temple in the Lower Jiuqing Middle School. Together, it is actually three votes.

Xu Jie said affectionately: "You helped the prince with this favor, you will enter the cabinet in the future, you tripped Yan Song, Zhang Bi Xu Zan was stupid, and you will definitely become the chief assistant in the future."

Anyway, it was the prince's business, so Xu Jie simply wrote a bad check and made a wish by sealing the official.

Watching Xu Jie's back disappear into the night, Shen Shixing stood with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy expression, making it difficult to see clearly.

What he thinks in his heart, only he knows.

Perhaps, he was laughing that Xu Jie was blind, and Shen Shixing belonged to Master Yan Song.

……

Xu Jie persuaded Shen Shixing, and went straight to Zhang Bi's house without stopping.

Zhang Bi was indeed an old fox. At first, the housekeeper asked him to excuse him by saying that he was not at home, and that he was not feeling well, so he had already fallen asleep.

But Xu Jie knew the weakness of this bi.

He was careless, went straight to the back hall, and shouted: "Zhang Bi, don't you want to be the chief assistant?"

Zhang Bi could only smile wryly, pointing at Xu Jie and cursing with a smile: "You stinky mouth, I will let you die sooner or later!"

Xu Jie pulled Zhang Bi to sit down, and smiled: "What I said is the truth. You, the assistant, need to change your position!"

Xu Jie knew people's hearts well, and knew that for old foxes like Zhang Bi and Shen Shixing, it was useless to say anything morally false, the only thing to do was to be true!

Since ancient times, true feelings can't be kept, only power can move people's hearts!
