Chapter 173: The spare tire is turned positive

Does Gao Gong want to go back to the cabinet? Of course, he dreamed of it.

A few months ago, the news of Xu Jie's retirement reached Xinzheng, which almost made the grandpa happy to follow his elder brother's footsteps.

He thought that he would be able to recover immediately and return to Beijing to kill all those who had hurt, insulted, and offended him!

Gao Gong even had someone put on his luggage and sold another 2,000 acres of land to buy gifts given to the emperor when he entered Beijing.

Unexpectedly, the big red auspicious clothes were all put on, but I couldn't wait to pick up the sedan chair.

It was not until he received Zhang Juzheng's letter that he realized that things had been upside down again - Li Chunfang, who was promoted to prime minister, and Chen Yiqin, joined forces to interfere, secretly obstructing him from his return.

They told the emperor that now all the officials in the court, especially the censors of the Kedao, had opposed him at the beginning, and many of them even had the bullet stamp.

Now that Ge Lao Xu left, people are already in panic. At this time, bullying him is probably going to cause trouble... If the farce of the Six Chronicles refuting the imperial edict again, where is the emperor's authority?

At that time, all officials will submit a letter to advise, and the situation will be out of control.

Emperor Longqing was very cautious and took all the pressure to kill Xu Jie. He was thinking of a few days of comfort. After weighing the pros and cons, he listened to the advice of the two cabinet masters and temporarily put his thoughts on restoring him.

This was really a pot of cold water topping, which made the joyful Gaoxinzheng explode in the spot, but he was far away from his hometown in Henan and was out of reach. It was hard to say it openly when he wrote a letter to the emperor, "Get up and get back to me quickly, I'm almost going crazy at home."

After all, no matter what he said at the beginning, he wrote a letter to resign several times. How could he slap himself in the face now?

Last year, because the emperor had just left him once, he returned to work in the cabinet. The lesson of being scolded by the censors as a pig's head was very profound. This time, he had to pay attention to his appearance.

He was like a trapped beast in a cage, competing with 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 is here, others can stop him for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Then he started to grow flowers and fish, and cultivate his body and character. But how could he change his temper with three generations of ancestors?

So the flower pots were broken day by day and the fishing rod was broken. If the Xia Shao came a few days later, he would 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 Gao Xiang again, do you want to go back to the cabinet?"

The smile on Gao Gong's face finally faded away. He looked at Shao Fang with a calm mind and said, "It's a mess. The hero asked me such a question as soon as he met. How do you expect me to answer?"

"I'm too impatient." Shao Fang said with a blank expression: "But that's because time doesn't wait for anyone... Before I set out for Xinzheng, someone had been to Huating with the same purpose."

He thought to himself, it's right, it's right.

"Hiss..." Gao Gong couldn't help but sucked in the air, and said in a slight sense: "Did Xu Jie agree?"

"This is not something I can know." Shao Fang said intimately, because he didn't reply to me at all. He analyzed seriously:

"But it is well known that Mr. Xu is unwilling to retreat as he advances. It has only been a few months since he returned to his hometown? He asked for his memorial to be resumed and flew to the Tongzhengsi Department like snowflakes. Even the cabinet ministers have written to the letter."

"Your Majesty will not agree." Gao Gong said with a dark face: "It's so easy to move away from this mountain. I have to be too lazy to think about it before I can carry it back again?"

"Gao Xiang talks about the usual period, but what about the extraordinary period? What if Altan and Tuman make a comeback this autumn, the Yellow River will flood next year, and the world will be in great disasters... When the imperial court needs someone to be this family, how can the cabinet master like Li Xinghua and Chen Nanchong take on this great task? At that time, all officials recommend Xu Huating, can Your Majesty still withstand it?"

"This..." Gao Gong had to admit that this villain had a very clear view of the court and the emperor's mind. Emperor Longqing's biggest problem was that he lacked the arbitrary ability to withstand pressure.

If the court really encounters any big trouble, maybe the emperor will be coerced by all officials...

If you think about it, Lao Gao is feeling uncomfortable. But what makes him most powerful is that his thinking is not affected by emotions. Even if he is panicked or furious, his head is still very clear.

"The hero has been in the world for many years, why did he suddenly care about my career?"

"One is to be entrusted by others and be loyal to others." Shao Fangcan smiled and said, "The second is that Shao is also tired of the world and wants to imitate Mao Sui to help Pingyuan lord Chu and establish the country."

"Haha, the hero has already stood out, why should he be modest?" Gao Gong smiled with his beard like a steel needle, "But I am not as rich as Pingyuan Jun."

"That is the ability to be a high-level person, far exceeding that of Pingyuan Jun, so there is no need for three thousand diners. You only need to have someone who is just like a Mao Sui, who is not bad at all, and you can go to Beijing to be a high-level person to lobby."

"Oh hahaha!" Gao Gong was naturally very helpful, and couldn't help laughing loudly and said, "No wonder the hero of Danyang is famous all over the world, he is indeed a wonderful person."

"I wonder if a family has this honor?" Shao Fang asked with a smile.

"The hero should answer first, I'm asking me if it's the tax collector." How could Gao Gong let someone lead the nose?

"There are handwritten letters from Duke Zhenshan and Duke Qingyang. Gao Xiang will understand after reading them." Shao Fang said as he took out two envelopes from his sleeve, bounced his fingers, and flew to the small plane next to Gao Gongshou.

This slightly frivolous action made Lao Gao frown slightly, but the content of the two letters suddenly attracted his attention.

Duke Zhenshan is Zhu Heng, the Minister of Justice of Nanjing, and Duke Huang of Qing was Liu Tigan, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. These two were standing aside and the other was unemployed at home. They both expressed their meaning when they wrote to Gao Gong, that is, we believe that the death of today is like a monk and a scattered person, and only Duke Xinzheng can come out of the mountain to save him. For this reason, we raised tens of thousands of taels of money and asked Shao Daxiao to contact him.

As long as Duke Xinzheng agrees that we can go through fire and water, and will never refuse, and will help Duke return to the cabinet.

The letter from the two ministries who personally caught the knife can naturally be expressed in Gao Gong's heart. What made Lao Gao even more moved was that in addition to these two ministries, there were also Nanjing Minister of Revenue Guo Gan, Nanjing Minister of War Liu Ziqiang, and Nanjing Minister of Works Xu Yangzheng, who was already in charge of Dingyou. The three ministries who also endorsed the letter.

What a powerful force this is? It turns out that they support me behind my back! They just don’t dare to openly show their opinions for me under the pressure of Xu Party.

Yet, their situation is already very difficult...

‘I didn’t expect that my popularity was not too bad.’ Gao Xinzheng was moved by himself. ‘The Ming Dynasty officialdom is not all blind and ungrateful.’

But if he knew that these people actually wrote more stingy letters to Xu Jie, but they just treated him as a spare tire. I wonder what they should think?
