.After noon on the 29th, after the grand dinner, the yamen in the capital were closed one after another, and officials began to enjoy the longest holiday of the year. They would not return to the yamen to open the seal after the fifteenth of the next year.

There are exceptions. The cabinet, as the head of the various departments, will persist until New Year's Eve. First, prepare a last memorial from the yamen, and finally make a final self-conciliation. Second, prepare for government affairs at the beginning of the next year; third, it is also to show the cabinet's conscientious duties.

It would be very stressful for the people below to go up the peak. It would be easy to say that those yamen outside the palace would not meet each other, so it would be okay to have a day off first. However, the Six-Charge Gallery, which was opposite the cabinet, dared not withdraw first. Every time they had to wait until the seal was posted on the Huiji Gate, the section chiefs and clerks could scatter all over the place.

In the past, every year on New Year's Eve, the people on Liu Doulian were bored and had nothing to do, just waiting for the people from the cabinet to come out. Therefore, in the past, the seriousness of the staff members would rarely make it easy to joke, chat, or even play a few horses. Over the years, this has been the case every year, and a routine has been formed.

However, this New Year's Eve in the first year of Longqing seems particularly different.

The six department officials, led by their respective section chiefs, sat upright in the hall of the department corridor. Each face was covered with seriousness in the festival atmosphere. No one spoke, and the hall was quiet, and only the Western bell in the corner of the wall, the hand was rotating.

Until the pointer pointed to eight:3, the officials and ministers Xin Zixi, put on a warm hat and stood up and said, "Let's go." So the other five section chiefs and dozens of clerks followed him out of the hall, lined up from Guijimen to Huijimen to attend the special meeting held by the cabinet.

According to the convention passed down by the previous dynasty, on the first day of each month and twice in the fifteenth day of each month, the six ministers had to go to the cabinet to meet with the assistant ministers, which was called.

Bow,．

It was a regular meeting that communicated with voices. But today's meeting was inconsistent. First, the time was wrong. It was the first meeting on New Year's Eve. Second, the cabinet's second assistant Li Chunfang and cabinet member Chen Yiqin were not in the cabinet. The former occasionally felt the cold, while the latter took leave and went home for the New Year. Only the chief assistant Xu Jie and cabinet member Zhang Juzheng attended.

Xin Zixiu and his fellow staff sat in the cabinet's courtroom, and then they realized that neither Li Chunfang nor Chen Yiqin would attend. They were even more certain that this bowing meeting would never be as simple as a regular meeting. It should be as some people said privately, it was.

Mobilization meeting,,, oath-taking meeting,!

Everyone couldn't help but feel the inkstones in their hearts. They often talked about those topics these days:

．

This time the political tide is raging, and it seems that it is difficult for the public to make people's opinion, but in fact, someone is pushing the hand behind the scenes and trying to force Mr. Xu to his palace.

"It's just someone who is making a big fuss about Hu Zongxian's death and wants to welcome the Gao's surname back. "The remnants of the Gao party, the thief is still undead, and this is to take revenge on Mr. Xu! Revenge on our department at the intersection of the department, finally, the buzzing sound gradually rose in the room, and the officers were tragic in their faces and in a low voice but excited manner:

"This time it will probably be even bigger than the time at the beginning of the year, so Mr. Xu can't take it lightly!"

"Gei Lao Xu has always taken good care of us, and the government and the people have long regarded us as Mr. Xu's people! Once the Gao surname is about to come back, we will be miserable!"

"The chief executive of the Censorate has broken down. If we don't fight back, who will defend Mr. Xu?!"

All of this was seen by Zhang Juzheng, who was standing behind the screen. Seeing that the staff were indeed disturbed by the rumors they had spread, they were very uneasy, but they did not lose their fighting spirit. Baidu's latest chapter: Gu couldn't help but nodded secretly and quietly withdrew from the court room.

He followed the corridor and came to the prefectural guard's room, knocking gently on the door: "Shi Xiang, everyone is here."

Xu Jie in the room did not respond immediately, but finished the complete paragraph of the resignation book. Then he started writing gently, blowing the ink marks, retracted it back into the drawer, and buckled it with a delicate small lock. Then he said in a deep voice: "Here you come."

"The Yuan Weng arrived!" Si Zhilang at the door said with a loud voice.

The censors immediately fell silent, stood up in silence, and saluted to the door together. They saw that Xu Ge Lao, who was not tall and had a white face, had a slightly sad face, slowly walked into the court room accompanied by Zhang Ge Lao who was in the wind in Yu Village.

Xu Jie waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and he also sat in the empty master seat. The censors took a look and saw that the usually amiable Mr. Xu had no smile on his face at this moment, and the crow's feet with dense spider webs and the two profound decrees surrounding his mouth were all filled with solemn worries.

．

．

．

This also confirms their speculation.

Zhang Juzheng also sat down beside Xu Jie, stroking his neatly maintained beard, and said in the opening remark:

"Just heard it in the corridor just now, how come we became silent as soon as we came?"

Xin Zixiu was the leader of the six subjects. He heard this and bowed his body and replied respectfully, "Secretary, wait, just now," "Oh..." This time it was Mr. Xu who spoke, and he looked at Xin Zixiu and said, "You have to listen to Chief Xin's high opinions."

"Yuan Weng should not pretend to be relaxed!" Xin Zixiu was actually just a child caregiver. Hearing this, he said with a sigh: "Now the storm of the government and the country is dangerous, and his intention is even more sinister. He wants to ruin your reputation!

I feel the same about your situation, students, etc., and I wish I could kill all those who were in secret to turmoil to relieve my worries! "He is a Jinshi in Bingchen, so he can be called this.

Xu Jie was a little unhappy when he heard this. Although he had to say this, the effect would be much worse without any preparation. However, he was obviously worried. The rumors spread by Zhang Juzheng were very effective. When he heard that Gao Gong was secretly making trouble, the censors did not need to mobilize them. Even if he fought his life, he could not let Gao Suqing come back!

"Yes, Yuan Weng, we are deeply grateful to the emperor and take charge of the Tianxian! When the government is defeated and the people who form gangs and cause chaos must slap the table and make direct suggestions. This is not only a responsibility, but also morality. Otherwise, it will make people all over the world laugh! "Wang Yue, another minister, said loudly, and many censors also shouted.

Seeing that morale was available, Xu Jie was very relieved, raised his hands to suppress the restless censors, and calmed down, and then slowly said: "You are so anxious and righteous, and I am very moved..." As he said with emotion, "The Six Corridors are all good. Over the past two hundred years, I have been very grateful to the ministers, to maintain the rules of the court, to help the king Yao and Shun, and to the morality of heaven and earth!

He was dismissed from office, sentenced, sceptered, and even killed.

It is no exaggeration to say that you are the backbone of the court and the conscience of the Ming Dynasty!”

Being hit by Xu Jie like this made the crew even more excited. At this time, they would not hesitate to die.

"Yuan Weng is right... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the strict party would still be rampant now. Those traitors who are loyal and loyal would steal high positions and harm the people. The new policy of Longqing of the Ming Dynasty would have no way to start. "Zhang Shuzheng took the conversation and continued to lay out the materials: "Chief Xin said it well just now. Ink was in the court and the country, with high winds and waves, which seemed to be the will of the people. But in fact, there were some people with ulterior motives who fanned the cold wind and lit ghost fires there, fearing that the world would not be in chaos!" As he spoke, he became excited and said, "This is a countercurrent of trying to fight the chaos, defeat the cabinet, and force Yuan Weng to step down! You are all the mainstays of my Ming Dynasty. Ink was in the court, the cabinet needed you, and Yuan Weng needed you, and you all want to fight again to destroy this court food!"

His passionate speech made the censors completely excited, and they couldn't help but get up and said, ": Kong Richeng, Meng Ri takes righteousness, we will give orders to Jin Pingyuanweng!"

"It's easy to deal with..." Xu Jie was also infected by them, and his emotions became obviously high, "I came to you today to discuss this matter. In fact, before, Chief Xin and others told me that I wanted to write a book. I considered the situation at that time and let them wait and see for a few days. In the opinion of Yan, if I don't take action, it will be a big deal... Everyone, for the stability of the court and for the smooth implementation of the new policy of Longqing, I will have to worry you again. " "We will write to impeach the old thief Gao Gong, and we will not let him succeed!" The staff members said one after another.

"You have misunderstood. If you impeach, you must be as proof as a mountain of iron." Zhang Ju said in a straight face: "Gao Suqing, a villager from the capital, is far away from the capital. Without conclusive evidence, it is impossible for the emperor to believe the government and the people to believe it."

"Then how should we do it?" the censors asked:

"You have to have a goal."

"Now I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark. The military strategy is cloudy. First stand in an invincible place, then fight and win. "Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "We will not attack anyone for the time being, but we will call for an end to the chaos and stabilize the court."

"End the chaos and stabilize the bureau?" said the censors.

"Yes, if the other party wants to take advantage of the situation, we must clear the original source!" Zhang Juzheng hit with both hands: "As long as the chaos is over as soon as possible and let the water in the pond fall, those priests will have nowhere to hide and become the target of public critics!"

It turned out that it was not a playboy. The Yan Palace was disappointed when they heard this, and then they felt very relaxed. After all, the New Year is not a waste of life. They put some high-sounding memorials, which are both calm and gold, so why not just be a little bit "Don't take it lightly." Zhang Juzheng earnestly said: "This kind of memorial is not easy to write, and it must be a momentum of inseparable between good and evil. Let the people of the world know that whoever dares to destroy the stable situation and who dares to conspire to rebel is the public enemy of the court, and everyone will attack it together!"

"We must let them see that we unite and unite against the enemy, and never let any effort be given, destroying the hard-earned good situation! "Xin Zixiu stood up and said, "Sixun said: 61 The congratulatory form for the emperor has not been sent yet, so we will go back and rewrite it!"

"There is no need to be anxious." Mr. Xu finally smiled and said, "It's New Year's Eve today, so let's not make things difficult for the emperor." "To the king Yao and Shun, it's urgent!" The staff member said with great fighting spirit: "What's more, it's not troublesome to change!"

"You should pay attention to your tone." Xu Jie reminded:

"If it's a bit too much during the New Year, let's leave it to the end after the New Year."

"Ru..." The staff members responded in unison and went back to the yamen to revise the book.

After the meeting, the central government of the staff was exposed. Xu Jie showed a tired look again. Zhang Lai was pouring tea for him and said softly: "Sir, in addition to these staff, I have also contacted dozens of officials at all levels. So many people wrote to me together, and they will definitely form a limelight that suppressed them."

"I hope to see this..." Xu Jie nodded and said slowly: "While no one wants to see Wang Tingxiang's death, at least he helped us to relieve the siege." As soon as Wang Yanxiang died, he created a chance to close the case immediately. Although he could not close the case as soon as he died, the emperor had long been tired of this long torture and was eager to end it all.

Xu Jie had already passed down the words. All procedures must be settled in the first month of the next year and ended this speechless immortal case. He continued: "The old chaos and grace are what everyone hopes for. At this time, all officials wrote a letter to ask for stability and no trouble. I believe the emperor would agree..." He said: "As soon as I come back next year, I will resign."

"Master's name..." Zhang Juzheng said in surprise.

"Don't worry." Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "I'm not at the time to get out yet, I just want to shout pain to the emperor and apply some pressure." As he said that, he rubbed his temples:

"In this way, this period will almost be over."

"Is Chen Hong reliable?" Zhang Juzheng immediately realized that if Xu Jie plays with retreat, the old eunuch will be a key figure.

"There is no big problem..." Xu Jie said with some uncertainty:

"I tried to do it twice, and the results were both good." He said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, even if he doesn't speak for me, the emperor will not move as his teacher!"

"Try not to play with fire..." Zhang Juzheng became extremely cautious as if he had changed his personalities.

Xu Jie only thought that he was afraid of being fooled, nodded indifferently, and stopped talking.

Every New Year's Day, officials in Beijing have to present congratulatory letters to the emperor, and this year will be no exception.

However, this year's congratulations were delivered late enough. Until it was dark, the cabinet staff pushed a small cart to deliver the congratulations to the Silijian.

The eunuch Silijian naturally had no good face and said, "Why are you so late? You've started to whip this!"

"What can I do if I send it late?" Si Zhilang said helplessly. In fact, he was also depressed. All the congratulatory forms were checked one by one, which made him feel disgusted and wanted to vomit. It was a miracle that he could deliver them now.

During the Chinese New Year, the eunuch didn't want to cause trouble. He muttered a few words, then accepted the congratulations and thrust the car into it.

The Silijian, the Silijian, was also anxious and urged, "When is this? Let's send it to the emperor." The eunuchs quickly packed the congratulatory forms in a pallet with yellow cloth. The eunuchs also came up to take care of it, and it was dark and no one saw it. He secretly put a memorial book hidden in the grapefruit on the pallet.
