Chapter 522 I Am the High Party
"This Liweier... you want to exercise authority?"

When Guo Pu asked this question, Gao Wushi laughed and shook his head, "What is the teacher talking about? The student is just a new imperial examination candidate, so where does he have any authority?"

When Gao Wushi said this, his face suddenly turned serious: "This is the authority of the 'Gao Party'."

Guo Pu looked at him, did not speak for a while, and finally sighed: "You are criticizing the old man for Su Qing... But, you must know, the old man is not Su Qing after all. The so-called 'high party' is his It was built by kneading together, so when he was there, he could manipulate the 'Gao Dang' like his arms, but the old man couldn't, and it is already very rare to be able to maintain the current situation."

"Uncle, the students will go to communicate with him, so the teacher doesn't have to worry." Gao Wushi said confidently.

Guo Pu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You don't think that the reason why Zhang Fengpan has formed a different faction in the Gao Party is simply because he wants to grab the class and seize power?"

"Although the students are dull, they are not so superficial." Gao Yushi laughed dumbly, and said, "My uncle is certainly a person with great ambitions, but he is also a smart enough person, so he won't fail to see what Sanbo was like back then. Arrangements and intentions. He knows that he must be the next generation leader of Gaodang, and he doesn't need to fight for this point at all, Sanbo has already made arrangements."

"Well... then, in your opinion, what is the situation with Zhang Fengpan now? Do you know that Ling Yunyi's original arrangement was to be Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing? Served as Minister of the Ministry of War in Beijing? This is your uncle Zhang Fengpan's idea."

This is somewhat unexpected. Although Zhang Siwei is one of the big bosses of the Gao Party and is known to everyone as "Gao Gong's successor", his foundation is different from Gao Gong's. There are three main points: one is the absolute support of the palace (in the early days of Longqing, later the two palaces and Zhu Yijun); A large group of students were stuffed into the science path to grasp the commanding heights of public opinion; the third is that he concurrently served as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and saw the third level of the official university.

But Zhang Siwei's foundation is different. He was originally a rising star of the Jin Party. After Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu, the Jin Party is based on him, so his foundation is actually the Jin Party.

As for Gao Gong's original foundation, most of them are temporarily under Guo Pu's banner.Of course, part of it was due to the close relationship between Gao Gong and Guo Pu, and the other part was temporarily invested because of Gao Yushi's support for the teacher-in the eyes of these people, Guo Pu was actually only the temporary leader of the Gao Party High pragmatism is the real high arch successor.

So in this case, Zhang Siwei's approach is a bit strange. Ling Yunyi is a typical Xu and Zhang lineage, neither the direct line of the Gao Party nor the Jin Party. Zhang Siwei advocated that he be transferred to the capital, which is totally unreasonable.

Gao Wushi frowned and thought for a while before asking: "Teacher, since the death of Ma Gan'an Gong (Ma Ziqiang) last year, has the cabinet not added ministers?"

Guo Pu didn't know why Gao Wushi's thinking jumped again for a while, because this question didn't seem to be directly related to Zhang Siwei's transfer of Ling Yunyi as his soldier, but Guo Pu still nodded: "The old man once asked the emperor to add cabinet ministers, but The emperor believes that the three cabinet ministers are enough for now, and there is no need to add more."

The current three cabinet ministers are the chief assistant Guo Pu, the second assistant Zhang Siwei, and the group assistant Shen Shixing.

Gao Wushi nodded, and said: "Students speculate that my uncle may want to add cabinet ministers, but the person he wants to add to the cabinet is also a so-called Gaodang, but this person's qualifications may not be enough... so, I Uncle promotes Ling Yunyi first, this is to appease the Xinxue faction."

Guo Pu frowned, and pondered: "But he didn't mention this matter to the old man." This matter naturally refers to Zhang Siwei's desire to recommend someone to join the cabinet—theoretically speaking, it is not the first time to recommend someone to join the cabinet The power of the assistant, but only the first assistant can do it.

Gao Wushi said indifferently: "Perhaps my uncle thinks that recommending this person to join the cabinet will not embarrass the teacher. He may think that if he asks the teacher when the time comes, the teacher will agree."

Guo Pu frowned even deeper: "Really? Can you guess who he wants to recommend for the cabinet?"

Gao Wushi actually thought of a person's name, but in the end he shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but the students plan to visit uncle tomorrow, so just ask him then."

Guo Pu nodded, and asked again: "Since you think that Ling Yunyi's transfer to the army is Zhang Fengpan's method to appease Xinxue, and the purpose is to induce someone to join the cabinet, do you still insist on forcing Ling Yunyi to retreat now? "

Gao Wushi smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his words: "That's right, this Shangshu, we can't let him do it."

Guo Pu frowned: "Just because of today's incident, are you so persistent? Or is there an explanation from the Queen Mother and the Emperor?"

"The emperor is indeed very dissatisfied with Ling Benbing, but what the emperor said is not very clear, and it may not necessarily mean that he should be dismissed or something." Gao Wushi told the truth, but added: "Forcing him to serve is the student's own idea. .”

"The old man still said that, why?" Guo Pu frowned deeply: "Didn't you embarrass your uncle by doing this?"

"No." Gao Wushi said indifferently: "Ling Yunyi's own death is righteous, and he can't blame others. As for whether the Xinxue branch will cause a fight because of this, don't worry, the students have their own ways to appease them."

Gao Wushi's words obviously had two meanings, and Guo Pu understood it all at once.

"So you still have to exercise authority." Guo Pu sighed: "You want people to know that the Gao Party is very united, and whoever offends the Gao Party will have to pay the price—and offending you is offending the Gao Party."

Gao Wushi smiled and said nothing.

Guo Pu said again: "If the old man's guess is correct, your way to appease him is to wait until after Ling Yunyi is forced to retire... Well, even after Zhang Fengpan recommends a new minister to join the cabinet, then recommend a Xinxue Will the ministers of the veins join the cabinet?"

Gao Wushi laughed: "The teacher is still amazing, and the students' thoughts can't be hidden from the teacher at all."

Guo Pu sighed: "You are the best at doing business, but now you exchange the position of a cabinet minister for a Minister of the Ministry of War. Is this a good deal?"

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "If you just look at it this way, it's a loss. But this kind of thing can't just depend on the position, but also on who the person sitting in the position is."

Guo Pu focused his eyes and asked, "Then who do you want this new cabinet minister of the Heart School to be?"
