Lunch was eaten in the ward. Pang Xian and other hospital staff took their leave knowingly. Only Mr. Zhao and two old men, Mr. Pan, sat around a small square table eating and chatting.
Of course Pan Budang ate while lying down.
Because of the injury, lunch was mainly light food. Fortunately, Chaoshan cuisine is on the lighter side, and its flavor is quite different from Suzhou cuisine. At least Zhao Hao prefers the former.
He scooped up a bowl of crispy olive lungs, handed it to Pan Zhongzhen first, and then gave another bowl to Pan Jixun.
"Why are you in such a hurry to serve soup? Pour me some wine first." Pan Jixun still didn't appreciate it.
"Butang wasn't so addicted to alcohol before." Zhao Hao poured him a glass of the famous local wine Pearl Red. "Drinking to drown your sorrows?"
"What a worry, I'm not that addicted to officialdom!" Pan Jixun snorted, picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, and said angrily: "I'm just not angry. I'm obviously right, and I've already proven how to use water to wash away sand. It¡¯s doable. Why do those people in the DPRK just turn a blind eye and insist on mobilizing troops and spending ten times to open a river?!"
"You are just stupid. It has been two hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. When will the Yellow River be cured? Isn't it flooded every year and repaired every year!" His second brother criticized mercilessly.
¡°I just don¡¯t believe in evil!¡± Pan Jixun straightened his neck and said.
"You can do what you can, but you still don't believe in evil!" Pan Zhongqi chuckled and said: "When I was in Beijing, I heard why Yan Shifan, the old man of Xiaoge, wanted to take charge of the Ministry of Works? Most of them were directed towards the Yellow River. How much does it cost the court to control the Yellow River every year? Money? You know it better than anyone else. And all the money was thrown into the Yellow River, and there was no way to check the accounts afterwards! If you really cured me, what will those moths eat?"
"" Pan Jixun held it in for a long time after hearing the words. Fang slowly shook his head and said, "No, at least Gao Huzi is not such a person. He doesn't love money, he just wants to be famous in history."
"Humph, I'm the same age as Gao Suqing, don't I know him better than you do?" Pan Zhongzhi chuckled and said, "He just doesn't like money, but he lacks restraint on the people below him. Whether he is corrupt or has bad personal ethics, as long as he can give He gets things done - and Yin Zhengmao is the best example! Gao Suqing has no son to be aloof, but the people below are trying to make money. If you want to cut off their wealth, of course they will cut off your future and send you back to your hometown!"
"Forget it, forget it, it's useless to sort it out now. I'll just stay in peace for a few years. There's a lot to be done in Chaozhou Prefecture." Mr. Zhao smiled and poured Pan Jixun's cup again: "Now my arms can't hold my thighs, so why bother with this?" strength?"
"Hehe, that's true." Pan Jixun nodded and said: "Now that Mr. Li Ge has become an official, Mr. Zhao Ge has also been kicked out by him. The new Mr. Yin Ge also has a straight temper. I'm afraid he will also be kicked out by him. life."
Yes, after Li Chunfang took office, Zhao Zhenji was also eliminated in the pavilion trend in late spring and early summer.
But unlike Li Gancao, who knew he was outmatched, took the initiative to give in, and ended the show with dignity, Zhao Ge Lao, who had always been as violent as fire, dared to draw his sword even though he knew he was outmatched, and staged a vigorous death duel with Gao Gong!
Without Li Chunfang¡¯s protection, Zhao Zhenji was helpless, so Gao Gong completely ignored him. After completing the inspection at the beginning of the new year, Gao Gong immediately issued an order in the name of the emperor to inspect the officials of the Department of Science and Technology! Moreover, all officials who were promoted and left Kedao during their term of office must undergo strict inspection!
In fact, the fifth year of Longqing was not the year of Beijing inspection, and Yan Guan should not be inspected. And as a rule, as long as you leave the Kedao system, you can no longer be inspected by Yan Guan. But Gao Gong was originally full of resentment towards Yan Guan - during the Pavilion Chao, Yan Guan, under the command of Xu Jie, attacked him together. He will never forget it!
After he resurrected, he held his nose and promised to his officials that he would forget about the past just to calm people's hearts and stabilize his position. Who would have thought that instead of wanting to repay the favor, this group of paw troopers were ungrateful and reverted to their old ways. When I responded to the tribute issue, under the instigation of Zhao Zhenji, they attacked me in groups!
For the sake of the overall situation, Gao Gong endured it again until this year. He had been patient until Li Chunfang got out, and when he became the chief minister and heavenly official, and his position was completely unshakable, he finally wanted to settle old and new scores together!
Zhao Zhenji also served as the censor of Zuodu and was regarded as a leader by the leaders of Kedao. Therefore, when Gao Beard's butcher knife came, he had to stand up to protect Yan Guan even though he knew he was losing. So Mr. Zhao and his son took the lead in the memorial and said:
¡®Not long ago, the imperial censor Ye Mengxiong offended His Majesty because of his improper discussion. His Majesty gave strict instructions on the assessment of public officials, and even the ministers who had been promoted during their term of office were not spared. At this time, there were nearly 200 people who were subject to the special inspection. Rumors were flying around, and people were panicked. Our ancestors set up lecturing officials, whose job it was to admonish, criticize, seal and refute, and to bring peace to the people. Therefore, the vast majority of those selected were those who were loyal to the country and dared to speak out. ¡¯
¡°Now the imperial court wants to examine them all as unruly and treacherous people. The ministers are really worried that some officials will use official weapons for personal use and wantonly attack loyal ministers. This will block the flow of speechYes, it is really not a blessing to the country! ¡¯
Zhao Zhenji and his officials are indeed professionals. They brought out the story of Ye Mengxiong, the former disciple of Gao Gong, who impeached his own seat. They not only slapped Gao Gong in the face, but also emphasized his arrogance and domineering, making even his own students see it. Can't go down anymore.
Being impeached by a disciple is a treatment that not even the traitor Yan Song has enjoyed!
¡°Moreover, Zhao Zhenji also pointed out that Gao Gong was actually attacking Zhongliang, hoping that the emperor could prevent him from using public weapons for private purposes and avenge his private vengeance. He also gave a very sinister hint that Gao Gong, as the chief minister of the cabinet and also the official of heaven, has already blocked the sky with one hand and shaken the country!
"If it were Emperor Jiajing, he would probably break out in a cold sweat, and then straighten his tall beard. Unfortunately, Emperor Longqing is now on the throne. His Majesty laughed off the accusation and did not doubt his Master Gao's motives at all.
As a result, the inspection started as scheduled. Gao Gong swept away all the officials who had offended him in the past and present like autumn leaves, leaving no one behind.
Seeing that he could not stop Gao Gong, Zhao Zhenji simply went on a killing spree. Inspecting officials is the common responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Naturally, Mr. Zhao Ge can also take action against officials who have taken refuge with Gao Gong. As a result, the remaining Yan Guan was cut off again.
It turns out that double losses mean the meaning of the Kodao official loser twice
Gao Gong is okay. For him, the fewer officials he talks about, the better. It would be better for them all to get out. But his close disciple, number one Ma Zai, and chief of the civil service department, Han Ji, quit. Because the people Zhao Zhenji cut off were all the subordinates that Section Chief Han had worked so hard to win over and cultivate. How could he be so arrogant when he became the polished commander Oh no, how could he serve the teacher better?
So Han Ji personally went into battle to impeach Old Master Zhao for being mediocre and tyrannical, and avenged private revenge during the inspection.
When Zhao Zhenji saw Gao Dang¡¯s thieves shouting to catch the thieves, he was furious. While resigning as usual, Shangshu defended himself and said:
¡®Han Ji impeached his ministers for their mediocrity, but this is self-contradictory. Because a mediocre minister cannot be tyrannical, and tyranny is beyond the power of a minister! For example, a high arch is really horizontal! And with the wings of minions like Han Ji, he will be uncontrollable in the future! ¡¯
Then he asked the emperor, "After I am released, I will still be in the cabinet, so I won't be able to stay in power for a long time and cultivate many parties!" So that later treacherous ministers who want to steal authority for their own selfish purposes will not be able to use this as an example. ¡¯
It¡¯s okay to let Gao Gong continue to be the chief minister, but he can¡¯t be allowed to also be in charge of the official department. Otherwise, once this bad start is made, treacherous ministers will surely follow suit in the future!
Old Master Zhao¡¯s counterattack was not unpowerful, and it was always against the throne. And he was very self-aware He knew that his weight in the emperor's heart was far inferior to that of Gao Gong. It was unrealistic to think of raising his beard and dying together, so he had a humble desire to destroy Gao Gong's official minister and cut him off. One arm will do.
The power of a pavilion elder's self-destruction is really terrifying, so Gao Gong naturally had to go to court to resign
??~~
In the ward, Pan Zhongzhen took the latest newspaper and read the confession of Mr. Gao Ge:
"Since I entered the court, every time I saw the Jin gentry talking about Zhenji, he would often express fear of hardship, and I would look sideways. Every time I would try to explain it, I would say, Zhenji is upright and generous, and he is also simple in his use, so it is not appropriate for you to attack him rashly. The old friend rarely stops talking, but Zhenji also considers his ministers as his own."
The ministers have been suffering from Zhao Zhenji for a long time. It was Lao Gao who said good things for him and suppressed the criticism. At that time, Zhao Zhenji also regarded me as a confidant, didn't he?
"Now Han Ji's memorial has been used to slander the ministers. The husband made Ji's memorial result as a minister, and Zhang Lu, the imperial censor Wang Youxian, etc. all said it in the previous year, so why? The reason is self-evident, and so do the ministers. There is no need to argue.'
¡°As a result, because Han Ji impeached him, he suspected that I was the instigator. Before that, when I was away, many people impeached him. Could it be that it was also my instigation? Han Ji is the head of the Sixth Section, and his duty is to supervise and impeach officials. He will impeach those who should be impeached without anyone's instructions. This principle is very simple and there is no need to argue for it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao and Pan Jixun still looked normal. It was time to eat and drink soup.
But what happened next shocked the two of them to the point of spitting out their food.
"Du Nianchen and Zhenji have served together in the Imperial Academy for more than thirty years, and they are now in the cabinet together. They have been appointed to the same cabinet, and they are in charge of the affairs of the court. They are with each other day and night. It is sincerity that cannot be touched by Zhenji's heart. Once he is angry like this, he will Isn't it true that the ministers have little virtue? The cabinet praises the emperor, and the officials are in charge of all the posts. Even if they are virtuous, they will still be forgiven. How much more can they be allowed to live with extremely weak virtues?'
"But I think that Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji have been together in the Imperial Academy for thirty years, and have joined the cabinet together, and have been in charge of state affairs together. We have been facing each other day and night, but we still can't influence his heart. It shows that I have failed as a human being. For such important positions as the cabinet and the civil service, virtue is not enough for me. What¡¯s more, I don¡¯t have virtue, so how can I have the nerve to continue to stay?
So I have to resign to prove my innocence.
"You bastard, why does this smell so strong?" Pan Jixun laughed so much that he slapped his hands and feet on the hospital bed, like an old turtle paddling water and said: "Are you sure Xu Gelao didn't write it for him?!"
"Mr. Xu Ge and Mr. Zhao Ge are from the same school. It's not like that, it's not like that." Zhao Hao also laughed and wiped away tears and said: "It's so impressive to see each other after three days apart. I didn't expect that Mr. Gao Ge is such an upright person with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The old boy has finally lived up to what he hates the most, turning into a white lotus like Mr. Xu Ge!"
