After hearing Zhang Siwei's words, Zhang Juzheng said nothing for a long time.

Through a few days of understanding, he was somewhat confident about some major events that came to Beijing in three months. Among the four ministers, Lu Diaoyang did not enter the cabinet for more than half of the time. The remaining three, Zhang Siwei, Ma Ziqiang and Shen Shixing, although they came to the cabinet to work on time every day, they did not dare to step beyond the line. When encountering a slightly tricky thing, they would either rush to pass the official documents to Jiangling for 600 miles, or temporarily put them in a hurry to wait for him to come back to deal with it.

Although Zhang Juzheng has always been vigilant against other cabinet ministers, after all, he was ahead of him, but he was even more annoyed by their shirk responsibility when encountering problems. He had decided to take the opportunity to beat them up long before returning to Beijing.

"One of the things that the cabinet has really accomplished over the past three months is probably that the left doctor of the Nanjing Ministry of War Zheng Ma Enhui intends to kill the envoy and rob the tribute."

When Zhang Siwei heard the name "Ma Enhui", he jumped and said with a dry smile.

"This is a small matter, the evidence is conclusive, and it is indeed unmatched."

"The evidence is conclusive, but it breaks the court's rules."

Zhang Juzheng's tone became stern.

"Is this a big deal about being a dignified doctor of the Ministry of War trying to kill the envoy to rob the tribute? This is a big deal that concerns the face of the court. Why don't I know in advance, huh?"

Zhang Siwei's face turned red and white.

"This matter is also a cause. Zhao Enhui is already afraid of the crime and pursued it again. It is really a disgrace to the court. The subordinates asked the assistant Lu Ge Lao to come to the nearest to submit the letter to the emperor. He said that since this matter is related to the face of the court, he approved Lu Ge Lao's request and turned the matter into a small matter."

With a sneer, Zhang Juzheng snorted coldly.

"Didn't you say that Mr. Lu is unwilling to take responsibility? Why is this so active again?"

"Prince Lu Ge was probably thinking that this was a small matter."

"What about you, do you think it's a trivial matter?"

"Yes."

Zhang Siwei's voice was very low.

Although he was unhappy about this matter, there were more things that needed to be dealt with urgently for Zhang Juzheng. The reason why he raised this matter was to remind Zhang Siwei. After looking at Zhang Siwei with a nervous face, he said earnestly.

"This matter is big or small. After all, it involves the face of the court. Since Ma Enhui has been sentenced to death, it is also right not to promote it. But is it not considered a little if you just hurriedly ask the tribute envoy to come to Beijing? Let the tribute envoy meet the saint? Have you forgotten that the Fire Master Yasan during the Zhengde period?"

The "Fire A San" mentioned by Zhang Juzheng was that after Portugal annexed Manlacia, he was eager to trade with the Ming Dynasty, so he sent a delegation of Pires Maufen Laga to visit China. Fire A San followed the delegation to meet with Pires. With the recommendation of the powerful minister Jiang Bin, Fire A San was favored by Wuzong and served with him. After Wuzong's death, Fire A San was immediately imprisoned and executed. Although he died strangely, for the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Fire A San was indeed a lesson to be favored by the emperor as a tribute envoy.

"I heard that the tribute envoy seems to be not old, but just a just accumulating life. He is about the age of today. He lives in the palace and is naturally very interested in overseas strange stories. The tribute envoy meets the saint and the power is favored by the emperor. If he comes out and gets the fireman, wouldn't it be our fault?"

Zhang Juzheng's warning made Zhang Siwei stunned. Although he felt that he was a little bit of a big deal, he could only listen. When Zhang Juzheng stopped, he quickly turned his head and said.

"This is a mistake, and it is really a lack of consideration. The words of the assistant just now made the subordinates feel enlightened. Speaking of which, it cannot be entirely blamed by Master Lu, but the subordinates have the responsibility to follow the assistants to do their business. The subordinates always feel powerless."

Zhang Siwei took responsibility in the open, but secretly expressed his loyalty to Zhang Juzheng. In this regard, Zhang Juzheng naturally saw through his trick.

"In the eyes of the world, you, Zhang Siwei, are also a capable minister, who is not as good as you can? You shouldn't have it. Your main problem is that you are worried about gains and losses, and you have too many little thoughts in your heart. I'm just saying this, it's a big deal."

"Not heavy, no heavy."

Zhang Siwei answered repeatedly.

"I am really sorry for the trust of the assistant minister after I failed the matter."

"This matter is not a problem, it's just a lack of consideration."

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Zhang Juzheng did not continue to beat him, but said with a turn of words.

"Since the will to let him enter Beijing has been issued, let him enter Beijing, but there is no need for this holy person."

"What the auxiliary said is very true."

Zhang Siwei just breathed a sigh of relief and heard Zhang Juzheng say again.

"I heard that the treasures that the tribute envoys paid tribute are extremely rare, right?"

"That's right, just as I was about to report, the top of the book said that this treasure is very rare and can be said to be unique to the world. It is worth no less than tens of thousands of silver. We were worried about this before. After all, according to the rules, the tribute envoys come to the court and have to be lenient. This reward of silver must be 100,000. No matter how it is, the reward cannot be less than one hundred thousand. Now the cost of the inner court is tight, so I guess I have to ask the Taipu Temple to borrow this silver..."

He returned to asking about borrowing money from Taipu Temple. Looking at Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei said in a compliment.

"Now, the assistant is back. With the assistant, we will have the backbone."

Holding the teacup, Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Didn't the Nanjing memorial say that the Xuanwei Office of the Old Port has occupied the barbarians for a hundred years?"

"That's true. Even though he lost his land, he did not forget to pay tribute. This man is loyal and righteous."

"What kind of loyalty is just to ask for help from the Heavenly Kingdom, otherwise, I wouldn't have given such a rare treasure."

"Supplementary High Sense."

Zhang Siwei said as he looked at Zhang Juzheng. Seeing his serious expression, after talking, Zhang Siwei was already sweating all over his back. He felt that he had never been so nervous even when he saw him, but he still cautiously praised him again.

"We really didn't pay attention to his thoughts. To supplement it, how should we deal with this matter?"

“Disposition…”

Putting down the teacup, Zhang Juzheng said casually.

"The tribute envoy of the Xuanwei Department of the Old Port lost his territory but did not forget his tribute. His heart was in the Heavenly Kingdom, and his heart could be seen. His ancestors were from the Heavenly Kingdom. Although he had lived overseas for a long time, his heart was still unchanged for hundreds of years. Since this is the case, I would like to give him a dismissal position and stay in the Heavenly Kingdom."

Hum? This is... Just as Zhang Siwei was confused, he heard Zhang Juzheng say again.

"As for rewarding tribute envoys, the inner court has a tight fee, and the silver from the court is also a carrot and a pit. As for the silver from the Taipu Temple, it cannot be easily moved. Then, let the tribute envoy stay in the Heavenly Dynasty, so I would like to give him a farmland for him to settle down in the capital."

Zhang Juzheng answered lightly, but Zhang Siwei was shocked and asked the emperor to take out his imperial farm to reward the tribute envoy. Isn’t this annoyance to the emperor? Shi Zhi, he understood what Zhang Juzheng meant. In this way, he would lose a farmland for nothing, and the emperor was naturally angry with the tribute envoy, so he would not be able to summon the tribute envoy, and he would not be able to favor him...

Just as Zhang Siwei was surprised by Zhang Juzheng's wrist, he heard Zhang Juzheng say casually again.

"Well, there is another thing. Xu Weixin, the nephew of Duke of Wei, asked me to comment on his articles a while ago. He was somewhat literary. If he was interested in the imperial examination, he would not stop him from stopping him. I wonder what Ziwei thought?"

"Our dynasty never forbids the other ministers from participating in the imperial examinations, but sometimes local people make things difficult for them, and they are also troubled by this matter. It is really a mess in the local people."

Zhang Siwei couldn't help but feel curious. How could Duke Wei come forward to find a support for his nephew? If Duke Wei had not come forward, how could Xu Weixin ask Fu to comment on his article? Although he had doubts, he still nodded and said,
