Shi Xing raised his head and looked at the cabinet in front of him, feeling a little bitter and helpless. This was the fourth time he had stepped into the cabinet in two days. To be more specific, this is the fourth time in two days that he has come to the cabinet to cause trouble!
To be honest, if there is still a way, Shi Xing definitely doesn¡¯t want to come to the cabinet to cause trouble. He is no longer the frivolous scholar he was twenty years ago who did things without thinking and was reckless just because of his passion. After entering the court for the third time as an official, he has already had enough experience in society to understand that many things cannot be solved by just having a hot head.
¡°To work for the country and the people requires not only passion, but also strategy. This is what Shi Xing summed up from the stumbling first half of his life. When he entered the court for the third time as an official, he almost never offended the powerful dignitaries and was very particular about methods, so his official career was smooth and he was re-elected as three ministers without falling.
However, since I learned about the seriousness of the situation from Zhu Changluo a few days ago, what else can I do to protect myself? They can only act according to Zhu Changluo's plan. In fact, things have reached this point. Seeing that your life is in danger, why do you still care about strategy? It doesn't matter whether he offends the cabinet or not, let's make trouble! As Zhu Changluo said, the bigger the noise, the better. It is best to let the whole world know that your peace talks are just an introduction for a larger goal, and it will be safer.
With a wry smile, Shi Xing rolled down his sleeves and strode into the cabinet.
"Chief Assistant, Master Shi, the Minister of War, is here again. I just saw him entering the lobby of the cabinet."
Chief Assistant Zhao Zhigao frowned and put down the memorial in his hand, glanced at the subordinates who hurried in to report, and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Shi Xing is here again?"
"Yes, Chief Assistant. I saw with my own eyes that Master Shi has arrived at the cabinet."
Zhao Zhigao suddenly stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, stretched out his hand and said: "Go, stop it, just say that I am not in the cabinet and have gone out." He was already a little bored and really didn't want to argue with Shi Xing. That guy Just come to the cabinet to cause trouble!
"Yes!" The official saluted, then reluctantly went out. Let yourself stop the Crown Prince's Taibao and the Minister of War, Shi Xing? It¡¯s really a bit overwhelming! I hope Shi Xing can believe the lies about the absence of the chief assistant.
Zhao Zhigao was not in the mood to deal with government affairs at this time. He paced in the duty room for a while, then approached the door to hear what was going on outside. However, before he walked into the door, he saw Shi Xing striding in.
"Hehe, it turns out that the first assistant is on duty? I still thought that the first assistant was not on duty, so I have to wait here for a while!" Shi Xing was startled, and cupped his hands at Zhao Zhigao, who almost bumped into him, with a fair tone. polite.
However, to Zhao Zhigao's ears, Shi Xing's words were like being exposed in person. Fortunately, he had been an official for many years and his face did not turn red because of it, but he was still a little embarrassed. He hummed a few words, glared hard at the subordinate who followed him with an innocent expression on his face, and waved his hand vigorously, telling the subordinate to get out of here!
"Haha, actually I just have something to do. I just finished giving instructions to the people below and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Master Shi came in." Zhao Zhigao reacted quickly and picked up a few copies from the desk. He told Shi Xing that he had something to do and asked Shi Xing to get out of here quickly.
Shi Xing seemed to have not seen Zhao Zhigao's hint: "Haha, in this way, it is a coincidence that the servant came. It really complied with that sentence. It is better to come early than to come by chance! Does the chief minister think so?"
"Bullshit!" Zhao Zhigao cursed secretly in his heart and said haha: "Haha, what a coincidence. I just have something urgent to deal with, Mr. Shi"
Since Shi Xing pretended not to see him leaving, Zhao Zhigao simply made it clear that I have something to do, so please do it yourself.
"That's such a coincidence. These matters of the servant are also very urgent! Chief Assistant, do you think you should handle these matters of the Ministry of War as soon as possible? It only requires a cabinet document, which will not delay the Chief Assistant much time, so that the Chief Assistant can hurry up Go deal with your urgent matter." Shi Xing blocked the door of the duty room with a smile on his face and said lightly.
Zhao Zhigao's face suddenly dropped, and he cursed the "traitor" Shi Xing bloody in his heart. This guy was fine a few days ago, sincerely supporting the work of the cabinet, understanding the plight of Ming Dynasty, and always wanted to negotiate peace with Japan. But I don¡¯t know if he took the wrong medicine in the past two days, but yesterday he went to the cabinet three times in one day, just to get the cabinet to approve his so-called one-stop plan for preparing for war!
Bullshit! What a bastard! Damn it, when did Shi Xing become a god of iron words? Did he even allow the Japanese to invade North Korea for the second time? He also said nonsense that the peace talks were just part of his plan, and that he wanted the cabinet to support his huge plan!
Damn it, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has no idea about the situation on the Korean battlefield. He doesn't want to think about it. If the food and grass can keep up,, can the Ming Dynasty seek peace talks with the little Japanese country while taking the initiative? Why are you packing so much garlic! Why are you pretending that everyone is drunk and I am alone? This guy just needs a shot! That fight in the first year of Longqing's reign, why didn't you beat this idiot to death!
"Master Shi, I have told you so many times that it is not that the cabinet does not agree with the request of the Ministry of War, but that the plan of the Ministry of War is somewhat unreasonable! Let's do this, as long as the Ministry of War can raise its own funds, I can make the decision and agree to the recruitment, training and training of the Ministry of War. Plans to make artillery and warships. As for the plan to let North Korea organize young military training, Mr. Shi does not need to worry about this. North Korea has their king, that is their business!" Zhao Zhigao suppressed his anger and remained expressionless. said.
"What are these words!" Shi Xing's tone suddenly increased without any warning, almost allowing the entire cabinet to hear it, which shocked Zhao Zhigao in front of him, and he almost threw out several memorials in his hand. .
"As the chief assistant, how can you talk and act like this? I think it is very likely that Japan will invade North Korea again. In order to be prepared, it requires the deployment, recruitment and training of troops, and by the way, it equips and builds a batch of artillery and warships. This What is not for the Ming Dynasty? What is not fulfilling my responsibility as the Minister of War? It would be better for you to let the Ministry of War raise money to do these things! Is there anything more irresponsible than what you say? I have said it before, with The Japanese peace talks are just for delay, a delaying tactic, and an attempt to eliminate the power of the Japanese to the maximum extent, so that the Ming Dynasty will no longer have Japanese troubles for hundreds of years! Am I wrong? "
Shi Xing didn¡¯t care if he offended Zhao Zhigao because of this. Anyway, he already offended him yesterday, so he had no scruples in speaking, especially when he almost shouted to emphasize his purpose, for fear that others would not hear or spread.
Zhao Zhigao was over seventy years old, a little older than Shi Xing, and obviously not as powerful as Shi Xing: "YouShi Xing, don't mess around! It's too presumptuous! You don't know about the situation in Ming Dynasty, don't you think I still have it?" Can you deliberately embarrass your Ministry of War? You yourself have been the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and you should know the situation in the warehouse better than I do. Tell yourself, if you can come up with money, will I support your recruitment and training of troops? Shi Xing! You Don¡¯t be too ignorant!¡±
Many ministers and officials in the cabinet heard the quarrel and rushed over. However, when they saw that Shi Xing, the Minister of War, was arguing with the chief minister, many people put aside their original intention of teaching the "crazy" a lesson and stopped automatically. In the past, he had been the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and now he was the powerful Minister of the Ministry of War, Shi Xing, whom they could not afford to offend. Only the other three bachelors of the cabinet, Zhang Wei, Chen Yubi and Shen Guanyi, came over.
After rounds of persuasion, Shi Xing finally restrained himself under the spit of several cabinet bachelors, but he still shouted about his views on the future form of North Korea and went back "unwillingly". Before leaving, he loudly said that he would definitely impeach Zhao Zhigao and that the cabinet must give the Ministry of War an explanation.
Chief Assistant Zhao Zhigao was so angry with Shi Xing that his gray beard trembled. He pointed at Shi Xing's back and his chest heaved violently: "Shi Xing, wait, I will definitely impeach you, you you I will definitely Impeach you! common man!"
