The master and apprentice play chess and never ends happily, because young people always cheat, while the elderly rely on their seniority and don’t know how many troubles they will have.

After the final decision, Yao Guangxiao seemed very unhappy and asked Sha Mi to hand over the tea. The old god said: "I have heard of the affairs of the court. The emperor was also uneasy about Jiaozhi's affairs at this time and it was difficult to make a choice. The cabinet masters in the cabinet were quite firm."

"But..." Yao Guangxiao said lightly: "I have heard some rumors about my master, and it is said that Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi have turned against each other."

Hao Fenglou had heard of this and nodded: "Yes, it was indeed a rebellion. The news that the disciple heard was a little exaggerated, saying that Yang Shiqi refuted Xue Xue in public, which was a big fuss."

Even some ordinary officials in the market are sometimes angry because of a moment, and if there is something dirty, it is common to refute and criticize them in public. However, the cabinet is different. When it reaches their level, it is not fun.

As soon as the news came out, Xie Jin's disciple and old official were immediately filled with righteous indignation. Some of the people Yang Shiqi promoted seemed to be sharpening their knives.

Their words and deeds are attracting attention and are by no means a joke.

For example, yesterday, an accident occurred in Yingtian Mansion. The Minister of the Yingtian Mansion and a Tongzong were very unhappy. The Minister of the Gongzong deliberately found fault and wanted to repair the Tongzong, but the Gongzong was not a good-for-nothing lamp and immediately fought back. The two of them ignored their identities and started fighting in the public housing.

This seems to be just an ordinary quarrel. In the officialdom, there are always people who are infuriated with blood. Although fighting is rare, such things that ignore gentleness and dignity will always occur occasionally.

The layman saw only the beating, but Ming knew clearly that this Shaofu was from Jishui, Jiangxi, and a fellow villager of Xie Jin. He was very kind to Xie Jin. The Shaofu was equivalent to a local magistrate, but because he was in a capital, he was mostly at the top of the prefecture. In Yingtian Prefecture, he was only under the prefecture. The Tongjue was also from Jiangxi. They all came from Ji'an Prefecture, but one was Jishui and the other was Taihe. This Tongjue was always familiar with Yang Shiqi. Shaofu wore shoes for Tongjue. To vent his anger for Xie Xueshu. Naturally, there was a famous place here. He was a Grand Secretary, and he might not be able to curry favor with him. Although he was a fellow villager and received a lot of care, he was just a fellow villager in the eyes of others. Therefore, this trouble was more like a letter of fame, and it was mainly for Xie Xueshu to see him.

But just like the judge, the judge is not convinced and wants to mess with others. Well, there are people behind you, aren't there any behind me? It's just that I have a lower qualification than you. I really think I am a vegetarian. Besides, you are just a Shaofu, with a higher grade than me, but like me, they are all second-level officials. It's not your turn to be in Yingtianfu.

So he disagrees, one deliberately provoked the other, and the other was angry. Everyone was confident, so they started slapping the table in the public room. The Shaofu was so angry that he raised the inkstone on the desk and smashed it over. The judge refused to suffer a loss. While shouting that the Shaofu was hitting someone, he fought back.

This matter was very fierce. Ying Tian Prefecture was so angry that he knew the whole story. He knew that this was not a simple battle of intentions, but a microcosm evolved after a rift between several bachelors in the cabinet. It was better not to get involved in this muddy water. So he chose a very clever way - to mix with the slightest.

In this world, the situation is similar to the situation, not only will it not calm down, but it will make things worse. Sure enough, the Censorate made a fuss that day and wrote letters to impeach, and one after another scolding, criticizing each other, and causing trouble.

There was no movement in the cabinet and no one said anything. If they were willing to say a few words at this time, things might have ended.

But they didn't say a word. No matter whether it was Xie Jin or Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi or Yang Rong, or even the Shangshu of various ministries, no one said anything.

It is not because they are not fair to them, but because they are encouraged to make trouble. This is obviously a struggle between the cabinet. Although no one is standing at the front desk, the disciples and old officials, old officials, fellow villagers, and classmates are all red at this moment, and they fight each other, and no one is willing to take a step back.

Of course, Hao Fenglou knew about these things. The only surprise he was that Yang Shiqi turned against Xie Jin on the Liuguan. However, their turn against him was not a loss for him. When his mentor asked about it, he was very relaxed: "Oh, I heard of it, but my mentor thought it was... "

Yao Guangxiao sneered: "After all, it's just Jiaozhi, it's just you guy. The reason why the cabinet started was just to take the opportunity to attack. Although Xie Jin was extremely smart, he was quite conceited. He took over the affairs of the cabinet, and he also took Huanghuai, Jin Youzi, Hu Yan and others as his followers to cut off the matter of the cabinet. Yang Shiqi is also ambitious, and he is willing to always be inferior to others? Today is not to make trouble for Jiaozhi, but tomorrow they will still find other things. However... Yang Shiqi's attack at this time makes people a little confused. Yang Shiqi is quite calm and will never be aimless."

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but smile bitterly. After saying so much, he didn't say anything. He pondered for a moment and said, "Master, the strangest thing is that this scholar Jie. His intention is actually known to everyone by Sima Zhao. He must maintain this official system, but why does it take a break from this critical moment? If I were him, I would have to calm down and deal with my disciples with all my strength. The disciples can't understand it."

Yao Guangxiao narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "The dispute between the liberated officials and chieftains is nothing more than a dispute on the first day of next month. We must first settle the foreign countries. If the civil and military officials in the court cannot agree, then the court will discuss what should we do. Besides, Yang Shiqi touched his tiger beard, and if he did not respond, how could he convince the public? The root of the problem is ultimately the Prince's body. His Royal Highness has now begun to participate in politics. To put it bluntly, this is indeed what the Prince is good at, and there are only two reasons for the Prince to participate in national affairs. One is to share the worries of the Emperor. The second is to achieve some political achievements based on this.

Of course, it is easy to make political achievements. As long as all officials are willing to cover up for him and serve him, they make mistakes. If they make mistakes, they will definitely be the fault of the lower ministers. If they make achievements, the crown prince’s achievements are the key here. This time, Yang Shiqi suddenly attacked, which inevitably makes people think a lot. Who knows whether he is targeting Xie Jin or His Highness this time. If he does not give some color at this moment, it is difficult for him to make trouble in the future. What Xie Jin does or even makes things difficult for you. In fact, in his heart, it is all for the crown prince. If he wants to follow the dragon, he must clear obstacles for His Highness. What happened here will be difficult for a while. After all, Xie Jin is actually a little similar to his master. He is now a very powerful minister and a wealthy person. But he may not care about this. Just like when he was an instigation of the emperor to recuperate, it is nothing more than just trying to do a career."

Hao Fenglou couldn't help but smile bitterly. After thinking about it carefully, he could understand that in life, wealth and honor are ultimately passing clouds. Who wouldn't want to do something that would shock the world and make his name go down in history? This is the case with his mentor, and so is Xie Jin. Perhaps one day, when he reaches the point of knowing Jin, perhaps the same is true.

Hao Fenglou smiled: "Then my teacher thinks that the disciples are competing for the chieftain system, but is there any way?"

Yao Guangxiao pursed his lips and closed his eyes: "I only ask you, are you fighting for chieftains, whether you are for the good of the court, or for your Hao family..."

Hao Fenglou's old face turned red and he said guiltily: "This... is Yu Gong."

Yao Guangxiao sneered: "Well, since it is Yu Gong, what does it have to do with fighting or not? This court is not yours, why are you fighting for? The emperor is not anxious about the eunuchs, you are not even an internal official, so why are you anxious about?"

Hao Fenglou was speechless and could only say, "Of course, I also have some selfish thoughts, this Jiaozhi..."

Before Hao Fenglou finished speaking, Yao Guangxiao smiled: "This is right. People are not sages, so how can they not have selfishness? The King of Yan back then achieved great things because of his greed. As for Zhang Yu, Zhu Nengren, etc., he was willing to be a hero in Jingnan, and he was willing to sacrifice himself and have selfish desires. There is nothing wrong with it. As long as the court approves the chieftain system, the Jiaozhi Mountains and the others will be truly owned by your Hao family. Don't you know these things?"

Hao Fenglou smiled embarrassedly and said, "Shame, ashamed, your teacher should not say this. The disciple is dull, but I don't know how to give me some tips?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled again: "You are just being dishonest. It is obvious that you have already made arrangements. Otherwise, in the Imperial College, where did the so-called Zhou Li's remarks come from?"

Yao Guangxiao pursed his lips and said angrily: "Since you have made a great move, why bother to ask me about it? Why do you have to do this for nothing?"

Hao Fenglou was stunned: "Master knows it too?"

Yao Guangxiao said lightly: "If a scholar does not go out, he will know the world's affairs. A monk is not a scholar, but he is not a deaf and blind man. But don't worry, not many people know about this. The reason why the teacher knows it is because he has expected that you will take advantage of the troubled waters. He just asked someone to inquire with a targeted approach. But he didn't expect that you are really playing this trick. The so-called master is better than a master. If your little scruples are still in the dark, then I, as a master, don't do it."
