The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Now the civil and military officials in the imperial court still remember that at the beginning of the year, because Xu Jie offended Long Qing, Gao Gong, who had been planning and waiting for the opportunity, asked a group of his party members to carry out impeachment plots. As a result, Xu Jie resigned from office sadly. However, Gao Gong returned to the imperial court and the cabinet again, and he came back in a glorious manner, assuming the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet.

This is the so-called feng shui rotation, the so-called luck is very mysterious, everyone wants to have it, but everyone can't last long.

At that time, although Xu Jie said that he was going to be an official, it was only because Xu Jie was too old and had too many contacts in the court. In addition, he had been the cabinet minister for so many years, and he even defeated Yan Song's party. , its status can be said to be the same for a while, so even if Xu Jie really offended the emperor Long Qing, it is impossible for Long Qing to just take off his black veil and official uniform and drive him away. In the end, It was still a serious note to let Xu Jie become an official.

But in any case, no matter how beautiful Xu Jie was on the surface when he left, in the final analysis, he was forced to leave because he made a mistake, so this means that Xu Jie was involved in certain things before he left. Lost the right to speak.

The current situation is almost the same as before. Li Chunfang is about to retire, but there is another difference. Li Chunfang resigned at the top and got Long Qing's consent, but Xu Jie is not. The follow-up candidate after leaving should be the priority to ask about the original people in that position.

Xu Jie didn't have that chance back then, and someone in the court recommended Gao Gong, the matter was almost settled, so naturally there was nothing to discuss.

But now, with Li Chunfang's normal retirement, it is understandable for him to designate a successor.

Just now, Gao Gong made a polite and respectful farewell greeting in order to seize this opportunity, and even to stop caring about the gap between him and Li Chunfang.

Now that Long Qing had already started to ask this question, the officials couldn't help but think that this time Gao Gong would definitely have the upper hand, and everyone was ready to watch a good show.

Gao Gong thought so even more. After hearing Long Qing's question, he just stood there and didn't understand, as if he was waiting for Li Chunfang to "shirk" this responsibility to himself, but after a while, Gao Gong didn't When he heard the voice he wanted to hear, Gao Gong couldn't help but look towards Li Chunfang under suspicion. This time, Li Chunfang moved his body and walked towards the center of the hall.

Seeing Li Chunfang approaching, the officials above the court were stunned again, and Gao Gong was even more stunned, looking at Li Chunfang with his mouth slightly open. At this moment, Gao Gong felt as if someone followed him. He made a big joke.

When Li Chunfang walked up to Gao Gong and stood still, Gao Gong still looked so surprised, he didn't know what to say, and the ministers who were surprised to see Li Chunfang standing out were also surprised. His expression returned to a look of anticipation once again.

Li Chunfang was about to speak, but she looked at Gao Gong who was standing next to him in surprise, showing a puzzled expression.

Long Qing didn't show any expression when he saw a good show going on below, but he was already happy in his heart. It's been a long time since such an interesting situation happened in the hall.

Very cooperative, Long Qing also showed a puzzled expression, and said to Gao Gong who was still standing there: "Gao Aiqing, do you have anything else to do?"

It seems that because what happened just now had a great impact on Gao Gong, Long Qing asked him for a long time, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Gao Aiqing," Long Qing asked again seeing that Gao Gong didn't answer, but there was no unpleasant expression on his face.

"...Your Majesty," Gao Gong who came back to his senses hastily said, bowing to Long Qing.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Long Qing asked again.

"Weichen is fine," Gao Gong said sadly, and walked back slowly. Now Gao Gong's figure looks very lonely, as if he has suffered some great grievances and setbacks, but he has not After a while, the loneliness on Gao Gong's face turned into a fierce look, as if he had a deep hatred with someone, with an expression of wanting to kill someone.

"Li Aiqing," seeing that Gao Gong had gone back, Long Qing turned his face to Li Chunfang again and said, "Li Aiqing has a replacement in mind."

"Your Majesty," Li Chunfang said, "this resignation has been considered for many days. I understand that as a scholar of the imperial court and cabinet, I have a heavy responsibility. Let there be vacancies in the cabinet, and understand that the cabinet is to help His Majesty assist the government, and its duties are extremely important, so naturally there cannot be a day of vacancies."

"Well, what Li Aiqing said is very true," Long Qing nodded and said, "In this case, Li Aiqing must already have a candidate."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone's eyes were on Li Chunfang.

"That's right," Li Chunfang replied calmly as usual, not caring about other people's gazes.

Hearing Li Chunfang's definite answer, all the civil and military officials suddenly showed a look of enlightenment. Just now, they didn't understand why Li Chunfang was so persistent today, and even though he had accepted Gao Gong's love, he didn't act like usual. , very courteous, but outspoken, and of course not giving way, which is not bad for other people, but for Li Chunfang, this is definitely a very weird thing.

Today's Li Chunfang has no intention of giving in at all. When Long Qing asked him something, he would answer bluntly. Even someone as strong as Gao Gong has already shown his favor to Li Chunfang in a low voice, but Li Chunfang still has no backing down. Thoughts, it's still the same.

For today's Li Chunfang, all his actions have subverted the previous understanding of him. It seems so weird, but after Li Chunfang said those words just now, all the officials understood the past. Why did this happen? They have already understood that Li Chunfang must have had a plan in her heart, so she dared to fight Gao Gongming so boldly.

But at this point, these officials couldn't help but start to worry about Li Chunfang in their hearts. Gao Gong is a person who must report his flaws. I don't see why Li Chunfang was forced to resign from his post and return to his hometown. Xu Jie.

As for Gao Gong, even Xu Jie, who had already retired and returned home and could no longer pose any threat to him, unexpectedly wanted to add insult to injury and put him to death.

But now, Li Chunfang doesn't give Gao Gong face so much, in the eyes of all the officials, Li Chunfang's life will never be easy after he becomes an official, Gao Gong will definitely do everything possible to trouble him, maybe Gao Gong will find another one who can Li Chunfang was impeached for things that put people to death.

It's just that now Gao Gong is impeaching Xu Jie, Zhang Fan, and Zhang Juzheng are waiting for a group of people to help him, and when Gao Gong attacks Li Chunfang again, I don't know who among the officials in the court will take the risk. At the risk of offending Gao Gong, he stepped forward to help Li Chunfang. After all, Li Chunfang was very silent during the dozens of years in the court. He had no enemies, but also had no friends who could speak for him.

As for Gao Gong who heard Li Chunfang's answer, although he still stood there without moving, and lowered his head, he couldn't let others see what his face looks like now, but Guo Pu who was closest to him could clearly see that Gao Gong Gong's body was trembling slightly. As for whether it was out of anger, Guo Pu didn't know, and he didn't want to know. If someone could see the expression on Gao Gong's face now, they would definitely be shocked. Today's The arch is high, the brows are all wrinkled together, the eyebrows are vertical, and the teeth are tightly connected together, giving people the feeling that they always want to eat their flesh raw. As for who the target is, it is self-evident.

"Then I don't know who Aiqing recommends." Long Qing didn't think about these things, he had already started asking Gao Gong.

"Recommended by Wei Chen, today's East Palace lectures, Mr. Gao Yigao," Li Chunfang said in her unique flat voice.

The people below, when they heard the name Gao Yi, including Gao Gong, were puzzled. In their opinion, since Li Chunfang would be so persistent in recommending his successor, in their opinion, this must be a Li Chunfang was entrusted by someone to do this, and the person he recommended must be a representative of a certain force, but they never thought that it would be someone like Gao Yi, Gao Yi and the others did not know, At that time, Tai Changqing of Yingtianfu Hanlin Academy was also a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he was the owner of the house that caught fire but had no money to repair it. How could he not know, but in their opinion, the biggest characteristic of this Gaoyi is that he shrinks , no special features, could it be... Even if Li Chunfang left, she still wanted to find someone with a similar personality to be his class.

"Gao Yi," Long Qing became confused when he heard the name. It's not that Long Qing didn't know Gao Yi. I also don't understand why Li Chunfang would recommend this person.

It's just that in Long Qing's view, although Gao Yi is not the best candidate, he can still take the job. After all, he has been a Tai Changqing and a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Whether it is qualifications or knowledge, it is difficult for him to be a bachelor to join the cabinet. It is more than enough.

With a plan in mind, Long Qing almost agreed to Li Chunfang's proposal, but he still had to ask the officials below.

However, before Long Qing could say this, someone shouted, "I object,"

Hearing this voice, everyone in the hall turned their gazes to the same place again, only to see Gao Gong walking out,
