"Uh..." The two old masters Pan were stunned, and then understood, and laughed at the table: "What a spotless white lotus, isn't it the state of our Prime Minister at this time?"

To describe Gao Beizi with such sharp words, it is obvious that this kid has accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with Gao Gong.

"What a pity, Mr. Zhao gave up his life and did not pull Gao Bei off his horse. He did not hesitate to reveal himself that the emperor allowed to retire and 'remained him back'." Pan Jixun naturally sympathized with Zhao Zhenji, who had similar experiences to him. He sighed:

"When Mr. Zhao saw that he devoted everything, he could not compare to Gao Gong's finger. He was completely disappointed and could only thank him sadly, boarded the bus arranged by the emperor and went back to his hometown to hold his grandson."

"But the emperor kept Gao Gong warmly and refused to agree to his resignation. Not only did he ask him to continue to be the chief minister, but he also asked him to continue to take charge of the Ministry of Personnel!" Looking at the "Memorial on Resignation of Heaven and the Memorial of the All Ministers", Emperor Longqing's Zhu criticized: "You are loyal and diligent in the administration and are in charge of justice. How can I beg for resignation if I am in charge of my relatives? You should leave immediately and serve with peace of mind and not resign."

Pan Jixun couldn't help but say angrily: "I really don't understand. Gao Gong put some medicine on the emperor, but the Holy Family was so fond of this!"

"What's wrong with this?" Zhao Hao said lightly: "Is the world calm now? Is the world peaceful? Do the people have to eat? How full is the national treasury?"

After hearing Mr. Zhao’s four soul questions, the two old men understood immediately.

Not to mention the hardships he felt when he was in the residence, just talk about the more than a year after Gao Shegong regained his revenge, he did more than ten years than his predecessor. Whoever became the emperor would not be willing to give up such a loyal and invincible minister?

What's more, it's far from the time when a rabbit dies and a dog cooks it.

Moreover, the top-level design of the Ming Dynasty perfectly avoided the emergence of powerful ministers like Yi Yin and Huo Guang who could do the decree and establish a decree. The trick is to not give any force the opportunity to be independent of the imperial power. No vassal kings, military generals, nobles, and even civil officials are like this.

No matter how powerful the chief minister of the cabinet is, he is exercising his authority in the name of the emperor. The emperor can remain silent for many years, but a handwritten edict can make him retire. Yan Song and Xu Jie were all ended in this way. Therefore, Longqing was not worried that Gao Gong would not lose his head, and Gao Gong was so arrogant and made countless enemies, which made the emperor more at ease.

Even if he was too conspiracy theory, who knew whether Gao Gong was deliberately protecting himself in this way after summing up the lesson that Yan Song and Xu Jieshi formed a clique and were afraid of the emperor?

Zhao Hao originally thought that it was not like Gao Gong's style, but after hearing his self-dispute, he suddenly realized that he had just thought Gao Gong simple. Whether it was rough, straightforward or the Virgin White Lotus, they were just one of the faces that Gao Gong had put on as needed.

Maybe in the future, I will see more of his face.

It seems that people who play tactics are all dirty in their hearts. Those who can become the chief assistant will be even dirty in their hearts.

"Now, I, the same year as the chief assistant and the heavenly official, have a huge power. I can be said to be the first person in the dynasty in 200 years!" Pan Zhongqi also said a little sourly. Everyone passed the Jinshi in the same year and entered the Hanlin Academy together. His ranking was higher than that of Lao Gao, but now his situation is far different, so why don't people sigh?

"Yes, if you can't mess with him, we won't mess with him for now." Zhao Hao said cowardly. Anyway, he didn't dare to mess with tall beards.

"This situation of breaking the rules should not be too long." Pan Jixun took a sip of wine and said, "I heard that Yang Bo is about to come out."

After Li Chunfang retired, Gao Gong took over as the chief minister. According to the rule that the chief minister could not serve as the Tianguan, he asked several orders to let Yang Bo take charge of the Ministry of Personnel. Especially after being attacked by Zhao Zhenji, he firmly stated that he must give up the Ministry of Personnel.

Emperor Longqing also issued an order to restore Yang Bo as he wished. However, Old Man Yang had just retired for more than a year, so how could he have the courage to respond with one move? That would be too indecent. Of course, he had to do a good job of making three remarks and three reassurances before he could get the order back to Beijing with "helpless".

After all, the entire process is completed, and it will be almost June and July.

In everyone's opinion, the day when Yang Bo returned to the capital was the time to re-take the Ministry of Personnel. Therefore, including Zhang Juzheng, all officials were temporarily patient with Gao Gong's current extraordinary power allocation.

However, Zhao Hao knew that after Yang Bo returned to Beijing, he would unexpectedly firmly express his willingness to go to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel should also be under the jurisdiction of Gaoge Lao, otherwise it would affect the good situation of Longqing's new policy.

As for the rule that the chief minister cannot serve as the Minister of Personnel, it is very simple. Yang Bo, the old slip-on, said that he can be the Minister of Personnel - not the title of Minister of Personnel like Zhang Juzheng, but a real Minister of Personnel, and temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of Personnel will be temporarily taken over by the Chief Auxiliary. This will not break the rules that cannot be held on the part-time basis, but will also allow the senior Gaoge to continue to manage the Ministry of Personnel.

Long Qing agreed happily, so in the end, the Gaogongdu cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel took the lead and was in an unparalleled state.

Unfortunately, Wushuang’s biggest problem is that it is short time or that it will last for a long time like Zhang’s idol…

Of course this is a later story.

Oh yes, there is another later saying. It is precisely because of Yang Bo's decision that Tan Lun did not become the Minister of War. Yu Dayou's self-recommendation was naturally ruined. He had no choice but to be the chief general of Fujian.

"In a word, let's do our own things first." Zhao Hao had enough food and drink, and said excitedly: "Chaozhou is an important part of our plan to rebuild the Maritime Silk Road. This time I came to Chaozhou, I felt the vitality and strength of this place that was not poisoned by the weak energy of Jiangnan. I became more convinced that the Ming Dynasty needed the Lingnan people who still maintained the Tang style and Han bones to awaken the sleeping bloodline!"

"Oh?" The two old masters Pan couldn't help but be surprised that Zhao Hao raised the people of Lingnan so high. But then he thought about it, he should have done so.

This Chaozhou defense battle is the best proof. Even if Mr. Zhao leads the way, his subordinates will be in good command and coordinate well. If the people of Chaozhou themselves are not brave enough to fight and fearless, they will never be able to stop Zeng Yiben's army.

The reasons are: First, the court is out of reach and is "ineffective" in the domestication of the people of Lingnan; second, Lingnan has many people and few lands, and the living conditions of the people are harsh. In order to protect the living space of their own tribe, fighting has become commonplace. This has allowed them to develop a character of fearlessness.

However, the style of the Han and Tang dynasties not only blindly being brave and fierce, but also having the pioneering spirit of daring to seek titles from thousands of miles away!

But what Lingnan people lack the most is this spirit of adventure. Just look at the origins of those sea owners, pirates, and sea merchants, and you will know that what you say is true.

What is even more shocking is that in addition to those desperate people, even ordinary people generally have the courage to face the ocean that is more dangerous than the desert.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, they began to go to the South China Sea to discuss and settle down on a small scale. Although the seven dynasty voyages to the West had limited impact on the north of Lingnan, it became the beginning of the large-scale voyages to the South China Sea for the people of Fujian and Guangdong!

The Chinese who had settled in Luzon, Borneo, Sumatra, Cham, Malacca and even the east coast of India in their early years took advantage of the power exerted by the Zheng He fleet to quickly get along with the local rulers and gained a high status and various privileges.

Some people even directly took advantage of the position of the Celestial Empire and became local rulers. For example, the Luzon Governor's Office and the Old Port Xuanwei Office during the Yongle period were established by Fujianese and Guangdong people who went to Southeast Asia.

When these people were in a high position and even ruled one area, they began to recruit fellow countrymen and villages to share wealth and honor together... or to maintain this wealth and honor together. So the people of the Ming Dynasty began to go to Southeast Asia on a large scale, or even the Western Asia!

It was only when Zheng He died in the fifth year of Xuande that the huge fleet was disbanded on the spot and the court stopped voyage to the West forever, the Han regime in the South China Sea lost its support, and finally collapsed one by one under the counterattack of the indigenous regimes, and the Ming Dynasty's territory expansion in the South China Sea also came to an abrupt end.

However, the pace of the people of Fujian and Guangdong traveling to Southeast Asia was not affected. They tasted the sweetness in Southeast Asia, where the resources are abundant, the land is fertile, the land is vast and unowned, and the natives generally have low IQs. How could they give up this hot land?

Therefore, for two hundred years, the people's spontaneous voyage to Southeast Asia has never stopped.

"A goose in the sky,

My brother married my brother A.

My brother is called uncle.

Uncle listened to helplessly.

Packing up your bags is ancient Siam…”

Almost all Chaozhou people listened to this lullaby of going to the South China Sea to grow up from babies, and then a considerable number of them were packed and wrapped up in the South China Sea as sang in the song.

Moreover, after two hundred years and generations of unremitting efforts, the people of Fujian and Guangdong are no longer as simple as life forces. They are a way of struggle for men to advance and make a name for themselves.

Just like when Huizhou people grow up, they will go to all parts of the country to do business, when Chaozhou people grow up, they will go to Nanyang to make a fortune. Then they feed the wealth they earn to China, build large-scale projects in their hometowns, purchase industries, and wait for their old age to return to their roots.

Therefore, Chaozhou, a poor place, has so many luxury houses and courtyards that are as magnificent as the imperial palace. The local limited natural economy and weak commodity economy are far from being supported by it.

"I heard that almost every household in Chaozhou has children going to Southeast Asia." Pan Zhongqin, as a senior executive of the group, naturally understood where Mr. Zhao's eyes were. He said incrediblely: "Then Parliament Shu Tong told me, although Chaozhou Prefecture has a total of less than one million household registrations, the Chaozhou people overseas have exceeded one million. It is said that Zhangzhou is similar. It is really the world's biggest and all kinds of strange things."

"There is nothing to make a fuss!" Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "A thousand years ago, we built the very mature Guangdong Tonghaiyi Road! That is the origin of what I call the 'Maritime Silk Road'. Our ancestors have long proved that it is not difficult to drive a boat to the West, and it is not a fool to get wealth from the South and the West. The Grand Historian said, 'The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit.' Therefore, the behavior of the people of Fujian and Guangdong going to the South China Sea is normal, but it is not normal for us to make a fuss!"

As he said that, he emphasized with a heartache, "It's ridiculous, shameful, sad!"
