Does Gao Gong want to return to the cabinet? Of course I only dreamed about it.
A few months ago, the news of Xu Jie's resignation reached Xinzheng, almost causing the high-ranking old man to follow in his eldest brother's footsteps.
He thought that he would be able to recover soon and go back to Beijing to kill all those who had hurt, insulted, or offended him!
Gao Gong had even packed his bags and sold another two thousand acres of land to buy a gift for the emperor when he came to Beijing.
Who would have thought that after wearing the red auspicious clothes, I was waiting for the sedan chair that did not come to pick up the bride.
It wasn't until he received Zhang Juzheng's letter that he realized that things had taken another turn - Li Chunfang, who was promoted to the position of first assistant, and Chen Yiqin, the second assistant, worked together to obstruct his return.
They told the emperor that all the princes in the court, especially the ministers of science and education, had opposed him at the beginning, and many of them had been punished.
Now that Xu Ge has left, people are already in panic. Bullying him at this time will most likely lead to trouble If the farce of sealing six subjects and refuting the imperial edict is repeated again, where is the authority of the emperor?
When the time comes, hundreds of officials will also hand in written instructions to advise, and the situation may be out of control.
Emperor Longqing was very cautious to begin with. After killing Xu Jie, the pressure was gone and he was just thinking about living a comfortable life for a few days. After weighing it, he listened to the suggestions of the two pavilion elders and temporarily put aside the idea of ??resurrecting him.
This is really a bucket of cold water pouring on the head, causing the happy Gaoxin Zheng to explode on the spot, but he is far away in his hometown in Henan, beyond his reach, and it is difficult to write a letter to the emperor clearly saying, "Get up and get back to me, I am already going crazy at home."
¡°After all, what he said at the beginning was that he submitted letters to resign several times. How can I slap myself in the face now?
Last year, because the emperor had just visited him once, he returned to work in the cabinet. He was scolded as a pig by the officials and the lesson was very profound. This time, he had to pay more attention to his eating habits.
He is like an animal trapped in a cage, going crazy compared to his elder brother every day at home.
It took him a while to realize that he could not completely let himself go. After all, as long as Emperor Longqing was around, others could stop him for a while, but not for the rest of his life.
This is when I started to cultivate flowers, fish, and cultivate myself. But how could he possibly change his bad temper that had been passed down for three generations?
So every day the flower pots were broken and the fishing rods were broken. If Shao Daxia came a few days later, he would really be like his elder brother.
??~~
In the flower hall.
Looking at Gao Gong who was laughing exaggeratedly, Shao Fang did not laugh, and repeated in a deep voice:
"I asked the Prime Minister again, do you want to return to the cabinet?"
The smile on Gao Gong's face finally gradually faded away. He looked at Shao Fang steadily and said, "It's a mess to talk about what's superficial and what's profound. The hero asked me this kind of question just after we met. How do you expect me to answer?"
"A certain family is too impatient." Shao Fang said expressionlessly: "But that's because time waits for no one Before I set off to Xinzheng, someone had gone to Huating with the same purpose."
He said in his heart, yes, it is right down there.
"Hiss" Gao Gong couldn't help but sucked in a breath of air, and said a little uncontrollably: "Did Xu Jie agree?"
"This is not something I can know." Shao Fang secretly thought, because she didn't reply to me at all. On the face, he analyzed it seriously:
"But Mr. Xu Ge is well known for his unwillingness to retreat in order to advance. It has only been a few months since he returned to his hometown? He requested a reply to his memorial, and he had already flown to the General Affairs Department like snowflakes. Even several ministers in the cabinet, They¡¯ve all submitted a letter.¡±
"Your Majesty will not agree." Gao Gong said with a dark face: "It's so easy to move this mountain, how hard does it take to carry it on your back again?"
"Prime Minister Gao is talking about normal times, but what about extraordinary times? What if Anda and Tuman come back this autumn, and next year the Yellow River overflows, causing a catastrophic disaster When the court needs someone to take charge of this home, it will be filled with people like Li Xinghua and Chen Nanchong. How can Mr. Ge be able to take on such a great responsibility? When all the officials recommend Xu Huating, will your majesty still be able to withstand it?"
"This" Gao Gong had to admit that this person had a very clear understanding of the court situation and the emperor's thoughts. The biggest problem with Emperor Longqing was that he lacked Qian Gang's ability to withstand arbitrary pressure.
¡°If the court really encounters any big trouble, maybe the emperor will panic and let the officials intimidate him
Thinking about it this way, Lao Gao is on pins and needles. But the most amazing thing about him is that his thinking is not affected by emotions. Even if my heart is panicking, or my whole body is furious, my head is still very clear.
"The hero has always been enjoying himself in the world for many years. Why do you suddenly become concerned about my career?"
"The first is to be entrusted by others and to be loyal to others." Shao Fang said with a charming smile: "The second is that Shao is tired of the world and wants to imitate Mao Sui and help others."Lord Pingyuan sent troops to Chu to establish the country. "
"Haha, the hero has already stood out, why should he be humble?" Gao Gong twisted his beard like a steel needle and said with a smile: "It's just that I'm not as rich as Mr. Pingyuan."
"That is the ability of a high-ranking minister to serve as prime minister, which is far better than that of Pingyuan Lord. Therefore, there is no need for three thousand diners. All it takes is one person with a smooth tongue who can go to the capital to lobby for the high-ranking minister."
"Oh hahaha!" Gao Gong was naturally very impressed and couldn't help laughing loudly and said: "No wonder the hero Danyang is famous all over the world, he is indeed a wonderful person."
"I wonder if a certain family has this honor?" Shao Fang asked with a smile.
"My hero, you should answer me first. After all, it is the tax collector who entrusted you." How could Gao Gong let others lead him away?
"This is a letter written by Duke Zhenshan and Duke Qinghui. Prime Minister Gao will understand after reading it." Shao Fang said, taking out two envelopes from his sleeves, flicking them and flying them to the small box next to Gao Gong's hand. on board.
This slightly frivolous action made Lao Gao frown slightly, but the contents of the two letters immediately attracted his attention.
The Duke of Zhenshang is Zhu Heng, the Minister of Punishment of Nanjing, and the Duke of Qing is Liu Tiqian, the former Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry. One of them stood aside, and the other was idle at home. They wrote to Gao Gong and both expressed the same idea, that is, we think that people who have passed away today are like nothing. Xi, only Xinzheng Gong can save him. For this purpose, we have collected tens of thousands of taels of money and asked Shao Daxiao to contact us on our behalf.
"As long as Duke Xinzheng agrees to our mission, we will go through fire and water and do whatever it takes to help him return to the cabinet."
The letter written by the two ministers personally catching the sword can naturally speak to Gao Gong's heart. What makes Lao Gao even more excited is that in addition to these two ministers, there are also Guo Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing, Liu Ziqiang, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and Xu Yangzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, who is already registered as Ding You. Three ministers have also done this. endorsement.
What a powerful force this is? It turns out that they all support me from behind! It's just that because of the pressure from Party Xu, he didn't dare to publicly defend me.
Yes, their situation is already very difficult
¡®Unexpectedly, my popularity is not too bad. ¡¯ Gao Xinzheng fell into self-movement. ¡®The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is not all blind and white-eyed. ¡¯
But if he knew, these people had actually written even more disgusting letters of surrender to Xu Jie, but they were just using him as a backup. Not sure what to think?
ps. The third update. After changing to new lenses, I found that my eyes are much more comfortable. They have just started to feel dry now. I will write another chapter! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
