?? Spring thunder bursts, and rain falls into rivers.
Xu Fan was shocked after hearing what his father said.
"Father, think twice! Your Majesty and the late emperor are two extremes. He is too indulgent and trusting of the eunuchs. Those eunuchs also rely on your majesty's favor and do whatever they want to do when the emperor is evil, and they even try to seize power!"
Xiao Ge was busy advising Xu Ge's old way: In just over a year, Dongchang's ears have been spread all over the capital, and the Royal Ma Jian has also begun to reorganize the fanfare. The Superintendent of Ceremonies also sent eunuchs to harass the local area, and there were already signs of seizing power. If they really get the military power"
Xu Fan shuddered and said: "I'm afraid the old story of Zhengde will really happen again"
Xu Jie nodded, Xu Canjun¡¯s analysis was correct again.
Emperor Longqing was indeed different from the late emperor. He was extremely dependent on the eunuchs around him. Since he came to the throne for a year, he has repeatedly promoted and given excessive honors to the eunuchs in Qiandi. It can be said that one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
This is not as simple as rewarding a few eunuchs. You must know that there are 24 yamen in the inner court in both the northern and southern capitals, plus the guard eunuchs, weaving eunuchs, tax inspectors and eunuchs in each province in total, there are 40,000 to 50,000 eunuchs.
????????????????? We need power and power ¨C the Supervisor of Ceremonies, we need soldiers and soldiers ¨C the Royal Horse Supervisor, we need money and money ¨C the Weaving Bureau, so this is a political force that absolutely cannot be ignored.
Even during the Zhengde Dynasty, the eunuchs once controlled both inside and outside the court, and the dignified cabinet bachelors and six ministers were all their lackeys. Their power was so great that it seemed to have reached the height of the late Han Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, Emperor Zhengde later realized his 'mistake' and took the initiative to kill Liu Jin and banish the Eight Tigers. Later, Emperor Jiajing learned the "lessons" from the Zhengde Dynasty and severely restricted the power of the eunuchs. In addition to the weaving and tax eunuchs who continued to make money, he eliminated all the ceremonial eunuchs and the royal horse eunuchs. This completely eliminated the arrogance of the eunuchs.
But the civil servant group has always been vigilant against the eunuch group, and it has always been their mission to prevent them from resurrecting with the help of imperial power.
Well, the safest way is to make the imperial power itself weak and powerless, so that those eunuchs have no way to draw on it
That¡¯s why Xu Fan¡¯s reaction was so big when he saw the emperor and eunuchs working hard to take back military power.
"Everything you said is right. Normally, my father would have definitely remonstrated with me about this matter." Mr. Xu Ge sighed and said, "But now, I don't want to protect the people below anymore, so I still let them all get wet. Wake up and wake up.¡±
"Understood!" Xu Fan suddenly realized: "What does father mean, if we pass the vote, then let the news out and let the three of them clean up the mess?"
"Yes." Xu Jie nodded, and said with obvious anger in his calm tone: "When the time comes, they will know how much I, the chief minister, have endured for them."
Mr. Xu Ge indeed has reason to be angry - were you so good when Emperor Longqing came up?
He is in his thirties, in his prime, has received a good royal education, and has a complete internal and external team, the head of the country!
At the beginning, Long Qing was also ambitious and wanted to be a promising leader!
After he ascended the throne, he wanted to restore the system of eunuchs guarding the whole country during the Zhengde period. He also wanted to worship at Mount Tai, and he also wanted to restore the eunuchs to supervise the army The outrageous ideas came one after another. It was Xu Gelao who, under great pressure, put the emperor's He extinguished his thoughts one by one and took the risk of breaking with the emperor to kill Gao Gong.
¡°This is how the imperial power was put into a cage Oh no, this is how we created the harmonious situation where the Holy Emperor rules from the top down.
"But some people actually ignore the truth about the knives and scapegoats you have taken, and are waiting for me to step down one by one?"
"In that case, let's just stop doing one and stop doing the other." Xu Fan took advantage of the situation and suggested: "Add one more thing, restore the ancestral system of sending eunuchs to guard local areas!"
After saying that, he was a little unsure and said: "But my father had to kneel in the Qianqing Palace for a whole day to get rid of this issue."
"It doesn't matter, let them kneel down and try it too." Mr. Xu Ge looked hurt, like a child shouting, "Give me the ball, I want to go home."
"Then let's draw up the votes like this." Xu Fan gritted his teeth, picked up a pen and wrote down the agreed content on the votes.
"If you write another memorandum for my father to plead for illness, say that my father is old, exhausted, frail and sick, and cannot bear the heavy responsibility of being the chief minister. I ask for your majesty's permission to serve." Xu Jie then ordered: "Then together Send it to Mr. Li."
"Understood." Xu Fan nodded. The first and most important ministers, claiming illness and resigning, have always been a common tactic of retreating in order to advance, and no one has ever been able to get away with it.
On the other hand, when Gao Xinzheng resigned during the pavilion crisis last year, the emperor persuaded him to stay.He came back to work twice and continued to work. As a result, he was ridiculed by Shilin for being an official obsessed, hypocritical and shameless

When the rain stopped, Xu Fan also wrote a memorial to beg for leave, and sent a stack of memorials to Li Chunfang's room.
When Li Chunfang saw Mr. Xiaoge coming with the memorial in his arms, he quickly stood up to greet him: "How can I bother Mr. Xiaoge to go there in person? I can just bring it back when I report to Yuan Fu later."
"Hey." Xu Fan neatly stacked the pile of memorials on Li Chunfang's table, and sighed: "The straight house in the back will belong to the husband. You have to ask others to report to you."
"What?" Li Chunfang stood up from the chair in shock, and she saw "The Skeleton of the Minister Xu Jie Begging" placed at the top by Xu Fan. He couldn't help but turned pale and said: "It's absolutely impossible, why do you do this?"
"Why is this so?" Seeing Li Chunfang's panic, Xu Fan couldn't help but said resentfully: "Yesterday, why did the three of you pay attention to Yuan Fu? My father thought that he was heartbroken, but he didn't know that he was abandoned by the cabinet ministers, so he was naturally discouraged. , stayed up all night, and wrote this resignation letter this morning, fulfilling the wishes of all the great bachelors!"
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh and said: "The heavy rain earlier was the heaven and earth crying for Yuan Fu"
Li Chunfang said to her heart, okay, even Mr. Xu Ge can communicate with God.
"Mr. Xiao Ge, wait here for a moment. I'll go find Prime Minister Zhang and Prime Minister Chen to discuss how to persuade Yuan Fu to change his mind."
After saying that, he hurriedly picked up the resignation letter with a panic look on his face and went to report it to the other two bachelors.
Xu Fan stood in Li Chunfang's duty room, looking at his back as he left in a panic, with a sarcastic look on his lips.

Zhang Juzheng was in the check-in room, staring blankly at the newly obtained geometry problem.
This is what Zhao Hao specially ordered his disciples to send to him in order to express his gratitude for yesterday¡¯s helping hand - volumes three to seven of "Elements of Geometry".
For Mr. Zhao, who is stingy with knowledge, taking out four volumes in one breath is definitely a sign of sincerity in the face of his idol.
Of course, Bu Gu actually doesn¡¯t like geometry
It¡¯s just because Bu Gu has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This problem does not allow you to give up halfway.
Hey, part of it has been done, how can it be done if the rest is not done?
Let¡¯s do it, a family must be in order to be perfect.
Thinking of this, Bu Gu¡¯s beard became a lot wilted.
At this time, Li Chunfang suddenly walked in quickly and whispered: "Yuan Fu is about to submit his resignation."
"Oh?" Zhang Juzheng's eyes suddenly shifted from the geometry problem to the resignation letter in Li Chunfang's hand.
Well, that¡¯s a good reason not to do the questions now¡
