Wanli 1592

Chapter 439 Xiao Ruxun Shangshu

When Xiao Ruxun sent this note, he asked Matteo Ricci to be responsible for the translation. Matteo Ricci saw that other places were fine, but when he saw the request for compensation in the note, he was shocked. He realized that this is not a condition for peace negotiations at all, it is a condition for sending troops to fight!

It's fine if you want 30 taels of silver, but you still want half of the spice business?Why don't you grab it?

Oh, he just planned to snatch it...

Isn't that right?Didn't it say that wars are not allowed without the emperor's order?You... are you going to start a war?How can you go to war without the emperor's order?

What Matteo Ricci didn't know was that Xiao Ruxun had already sent out the war memorial for a month. Calculated the time, it was about time to arrive in Beijing, and it was about time for the big bosses in the cabinet to have a look, take a look, and remind myself by the way The presence.

Xiao Ruxun's estimate was good, and when Matteo Ricci came to Xiao Ruxun for confirmation with the note, his invitation to battle memorial had already been handed over to the cabinet boss's desk.

Zhao Zhigao is now the chief assistant in the cabinet. Wang Xijue had abdicated three years ago. After dealing with the final crisis, Wang Xijue abdicated exhaustedly. Zhao Zhigao became the new chief assistant of the cabinet according to his seniority.

This time it was not acting as the first assistant, but the real first assistant. This good old man who had been hiding for a long time finally showed his not-so-good old style.

Still the same sentence, who can get into the cabinet, who is a good bird?
Everyone is a master of thick and dark schemes, and a thousand-year-old fox. Don't treat anyone as a little white rabbit. That's how Xia Yan was killed by Yan Song back then, and Yan Song was killed by Xu Jie precisely because of this, so no matter what Whether it is the first assistant, the second assistant or the group assistant, no one should take each other too simply.

When Wang Xijue was still alive, Zhao Zhigao knew that he could not show any sharpness. Even when facing Zhang Wei, who was jumping up and down, he acted like a good gentleman, blindly being friendly, even Sitting on a vegetarian diet, doing nothing, even when acting as the chief assistant.

When Wang Xijue came back, Zhao Zhigao calmly retreated to the position of the second assistant, and he was not retaliated by Wang Xijue. On the contrary, Wang Xijue still admired Zhao Zhigao's calmness. Interesting, that's why Wang Xijue didn't like Zhang Wei very much. Before leaving, he recommended Zhao Zhigao to take over as chief assistant.

Zhu Yijun did not compete with Wang Xijue on this issue, but asked Zhao Zhigao to be the official first assistant according to Wang Xijue's recommendation. Now, Zhao Zhigao knew that he had no competitors and could stand in the position of mastering the real power of the Ming Dynasty Do things on the Internet that you have always wanted to do but haven't done.

At the beginning, Zhang Wei only resented Wang Xijue, but he didn't really regard Zhao Zhigao as an opponent. He thought that Zhao Zhigao was just pretending to be a vegetarian, and he could still control the power of the cabinet. auxiliary position.

However, although Zhao Zhigao in the eyes of outsiders is a soft, uninitiated and easy to bully old man, they all forget that Xu Jie, who was under Yan Song at that time, was also like this. Zhao Zhigao compared himself to Xu Jie, waiting for what he could do. The day that happened, and that day finally came.

The so-called silence is nothing but a blockbuster. After Zhao Zhigao became the chief assistant, he took active actions to eradicate bad government and severely punish corrupt officials. The courtiers were shocked by his vigorous and resolute methods. Zhang Wei was also stupid for a long time before he realized that Zhao Zhigao, an old fox, had been They are all hiding their clumsiness, the image of a good old man in the past is gone forever, Zhang Wei dare not look directly at the majesty of the chief assistant.

However, Zhao Zhigao forgot that the premise for Xu Jie to become a blockbuster was that he once controlled the group of speech officials. Zhang Juzheng Bingguo suppressed the group of speech officials so much that he didn't even dare to say a word, and the same was true of his predecessors Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue.

In Daming, Yanguan is the least provocative group of people. They are a group of people who are more fierce and eager to fight than the current keyboard warrior professional trolls. Fighting with words and fighting with real names.

Zhao Zhigao is more than 70 years old, has always been feminine, and gives people the impression that he is easy to bully. Once he rises up, the officials are not afraid of him. They think that he will retire in a few years at most, and they are not afraid of him. They all involved the relationship between heaven and man, saying it was Zhao Zhigao's fault, and told Zhao Zhigao to get out!

Zhang Wei also woke up from the initial shock, realized Zhao Zhigao's external strength and lack of stamina, and kept secretly encouraging officials to attack Zhao Zhigao and prevent him from governing normally. Zhu Yijun wrote to resign, Zhu Yijun rejected all without exception, and issued an edict to reprimand the officials more than once.

Zhu Yijun has learned that all cabinet members who are dissatisfied with speech officials are his friends, and all cabinet members who are supported by speech officials are his enemies. He will support whoever the speech officials oppose. On the one hand, he uses it as a shield. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to achieve some of my own goals, split the cabinet, cause a split in the court, and reap the benefits of being a fisherman?
Sun Quan did this at the beginning, and he will do the same. Now he doesn't care about anything else, he has no right to panic, and those big trolls are really outrageous, just like a mad dog, bullying an old man in his 70s.

Taking this as a reason, Zhu Yijun denounced a group of speech officials on the charge of disrespecting the elderly, which was considered to be a little support for Zhao Zhigao, and it also allowed Zhao Zhigao to calm down and regain his right to speak little by little.

If so, after more than three years, Zhao Zhigao is also exhausted, the little bit of ambition at the beginning has been worn out a little bit, all he thinks about is abdicating the throne, returning to his hometown to live a comfortable life, and his body is getting worse day by day , continue squatting in this crater, what good can I do?
And just when Zhao Zhigao decided to submit his resignation form again, Xiao Ruxun's memorial to the war was delivered, and it was delivered to him through the Secretary of General Administration.

Xiao Ruxun is not an ordinary general, but the prince of Yongzhen Burma. He is not close to the Mu family in Yunnan, but his status is not low. This hot potato was thrown to the cabinet, and Zhao Zhigao saw it.

Zhao Zhigao opened the memorial and saw that it was a request for war, "Please Conquer Luzon Franji Yishu".
