On April 24, amid speculations from the court and the public, Emperor Longqing officially issued an order to approve Mr. Xu's resignation.

He also gave him platinum coins, ordered him to take an official boat, sent pedestrians, Jinyiwei escorts back to his hometown, etc.

There are not many preferential treatments that the cabinet elder should have when he retires.

But people inevitably have to compare the treatment given by the emperor when Gao Gong retired. As a result, they found that the two dynasties Yuanfu were far inferior to the retirement benefits of a cabinet member.

The emperor's closeness and alienation are undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

But Longqing has something to say.

The next day, when Master Xu Ge said goodbye, Emperor Longqing apologized: "The treasury and Taicang have been sold out, and the officials' salaries have been owed for two months. It is really not appropriate to reward Taifeng at this time. After the summer tax is transferred to Taicang, there will be another reward."

"Your Majesty said this, the old minister will be ashamed." Mr. Xu did not wear his first-rate python robe today, nor did he wear a unique folded head.

He wore a blue cloth robe, a black cloth shoes, and only a soap bar and soft scarf on his head. He had no trace of the prime minister's temperament on his body, and he became an old man from the south who was well-read in poetry and books.

The old man sighed, "It was the old minister who was not good at being the housekeeper, which made His Majesty always have difficulty."

"Ge Lao is so serious." Perhaps he finally realized that the old man would never bother him again. Emperor Longqing felt that the gap between the two was gone, and said emotionally: "You have made contributions to the country, and I really can't bear to part with you."

But I want Master Gao even more and have to do this multiple-choice question.

"The so-called talented people come out in generations, and a new generation replaces old people. The old minister is old, and it is time to change young people to continue to assist the emperor." Xu Jie smiled and said a cliché, naturally bringing out what he wanted to say:

"It's just that when we part, there are still a few things that we can't rest assured."

"Please speak Yuan Fu, I will agree if I can do it." Long Qing's heart was filled with sorrow of parting, and his eyes were filled with the good things about Mr. Xu's past.

"First, after the old minister left, the situation in the court will inevitably change drastically. In addition, 'If you have money, you can be the leader, but if you don't have money, you will be a good person.' The chief minister who took over cannot open up the situation, and he will be afraid that he will be attacked by the old people in the court." Xu Ge Lao said bitterly: "At this time, Your Majesty must have his own judgment. Who should use it and who should be dismissed, all of them should be out of the superiors, and the power cannot be given to the hands of his ministers."

"I've recorded it." Long Qing nodded with a serious face.

"Second, please do not be prejudiced by Yan Lu." Mr. Xu said earnestly:

"Authentic, there are people who are famous for their reputation and are not upright in their minds, but most of them are the most honest, honest, and loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The old ministers have no selfish intentions because they don't like censors either. Who would be willing to coax a group of 25 people all day long?"

"Oh?" Emperor Longqing widened his eyes. He thought the censor was Mr. Xu's father.

"But your Majesty must not forget why Emperor Taizu sets up six disciplines outside the Censorate?" Then Xu Jie said in a deep voice: "Because they are used to help His Majesty guard the house."

"The more annoying the six departments, the less the six departments in the cabinet and the governors of various provinces dare to do things randomly. His Majesty is just wise, so naturally he understands that the six departments are harmful or the six departments are harmful, right?"

"Well..." Emperor Longqing felt in his heart when he heard this.

"So as long as there are six subjects, the Ming Dynasty will not produce a real minister who chaotic the country. At most, they are power traitors like Liu Jin and Yan Song. The emperor can take it down with one order." Xu Jie mentioned his tone and said, "If there are six subjects, your majesty, the Ming Dynasty will sooner or later repeat the tragedy of the late Han and Tang dynasties!"

"Yeah." Long Qing was scared. He thought to himself that his relatives, vassal states, and internal magistrates seemed to be scarier than civil servants...

"So, please be magnanimous, please leave the six subjects once, and return the right to copy the subjects to them."

Xu Jie said, knelt down and kowtowed, "The upload and the delivery must be separated, otherwise the Tongzhengsi will become the second Session of the Secretariat!"

"Oh, okay, I promise Yuan Fu." Emperor Longqing was indeed frightened by Xu Jie and nodded quickly to agree.

"In this way, the old minister has been magnanimous in behalf of the Sixth Century!" Xu Jie also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said to Longqing: "There is also the science that has been popular recently in Beijing..."

"What's wrong with science?" Long Qing asked hurriedly.

"They deny the sympathy of heaven and man, and spread the fallacies and evil sayings indiscriminately." Xu Jie said intimidly: "That is the model of the 'solar system', it's fine if others listen to it. Your Majesty is the Emperor, how can you deny the sympathy of heaven and man?"

"But, I saw the moon with my own eyes and the profit and loss of Venus." Long Qing frowned and said, "And I have seen four stars this month, which are really revolving around Jupiter as Dr. Zhao said. These are enough to prove that he was right."

"If it is true as he said, the way of heaven is normal, and it is not for Yao to survive or for Jie to perish. Then the Ming Dynasty won the world, it would be a destiny!" Xu Jie whispered and sternly: "How serious are the consequences? Have your Majesty ever thought about it?"

"This..." Long Qing couldn't help but stagnate, but then he said with great pride: "The Ming Dynasty has the most righteous country, and the people's will!"

"The people's hearts are like water, and the people's movements are like smoke, Your Majesty!" Mr. Xu advised.

"God's will has been unpredictable since ancient times, and people's hearts have always been inexplicable." Long Qing shook his head and said the truth: "What is the heaven saying? What is the heaven saying? What is the will of heaven? It depends entirely on people's mouth to talk about it. One day in the future, if the Ming Dynasty loses the will of the people, then there will naturally be countless wills that will be attached to it, claiming that the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted. Since the Pavilion Master said that human hearts are unreliable, the will of heaven that the man interprets is also unreliable."

"This..." It's now that it's Mr. Xu's turn to be exhausted.

He didn't expect that he could easily overturn the intention of the three cabinet members to cover up the Six Cases. However, he tried his best to shake Zhao Hao's perception in the emperor's mind.

It can be seen that using scientific methods to educate is much stronger than simply instilling cognition.

In this game, Zhao Hao defeated Zhang Idol.

Seeing that the emperor could not be convinced, Xu Jie gave up his persuasion and asked with a wry smile: "Will your Majesty still worship the Temple of Heaven in the future?"

"Of course. I will continue to respect the ancestors of heaven and law, because the country needs it and the people need it, and I also need it. But I don't want anyone to use the will of heaven to make up lies and scare me." Long Qing simply replied, obviously this was no longer a problem for him.

"The old minister can still feel a little relieved." After Xu Jie finished speaking, he laughed and said with a self-deprecating smile: "It's like this when people get old, and they'll be annoying when they leave."

"The elder of the country is all good words." Emperor Longqing smiled dismissively and said, "What else can I say it together?"

"There is nothing." Xu Jie whispered: "There is another small private matter."

"Tell me." Long Qing waved his hand.

"The son Xu Fan is also preparing to resign with the old minister this time, but he is also involved in a case..." Xu Jie said tactfully: "Your Majesty also asks you to close the case as soon as possible so that your father and son will leave without any worries. I wonder if this request is not too much?"

"It's not an exaggeration." Emperor Longqing knew which case Xu Ge Lao was referring to, so he had already made a decision: "If this case is handed over to the court, it would be a good deal for Zhao Shouzheng. Let's do this. A court meeting will be held in three days, and the ministers will jointly decide what crime should be punished!"

Xu Jie couldn't help but feel much more at ease when he heard the emperor call Zhao Shouzheng "karma".

He couldn't help but think that the emperor was also full of disgust towards that guy. He didn't love the house, because Zhao Shouzheng was the father of science Zhao Hao, so he would favor him.

"Thank you, you have no objection!" Master Xu agreed.
