Tu Zemin's proposal made Gao Gong very moved and he urged Emperor Longqing to open the sea to lift the ban.

Unexpectedly, he was strongly opposed by censor Kedao and many conservative officials. Gao Gong quarreled with them in a dim manner, but he was defeated in the court's discussion.

The court was discussed in the Ming Dynasty, the ministers recommended it, and the courts were promoted by the courts, and the courts were ordered by the courts. The process was very different. In the end, it depends on which side supported it. The heads of the six sections and thirteen censors could participate, and they like to join in groups, so they had a great influence on the major affairs of the court.

Bykodao spared no effort to drag his feet, he finally opened only one port, and strictly limited the trade volume, making the so-called opening of the sea a joke.

Behind those censors, there is a huge Southeast smuggling interest group.

It was precisely because Gao Gong saw through this that he set up the opening site in Yuegang, which divided Fujian maritime merchants and Jiangnan maritime merchants. Then he instructed Lin Run, who had arranged in Jiangnan, to secretly deal with the nine masters in order to disintegrate the Southeast smuggling group.

Later, when Gao Gong stepped down, Lin Run's situation became very dangerous, but he never gave up his mission and persisted in attacking the Jiangnan rich people, but encountered a fire in Shanghai. How could Longqing not think too much?

"The emperor thinks this is not an accident?" Zhang Juzheng's heart skipped a beat. Unexpectedly, Lin Run had another special mission. It seems that the struggle in Jiangnan was much crueler than he had expected.

In this way, it seems that the two cabinet masters detained the confession to no avail.

"Of course I hope it's just an accident." Long Qing said with a serious look on his face: "But as long as you get in touch with the people in the Southeast, there will be too many accidents."

"At that time, Emperor Wu Zongyi was in the south tour and fell into the water by chance in Qingjiangpu. Although he was rescued soon, he was not ill and died a few months later." The emperor's eyes were slightly red, and he hurriedly picked up a Yansheng porcelain and played with it to calm down and said:

"The Renyin Palace Change that the late emperor Emperor Shizong Su encountered was also incredible, with many mysteries, and in the end it can only be attributed to accidents. Then I have to ask, why have the people in the southeast been attacking, which will happen in their favor? Isn't this a coincidence?"

"If there are so many coincidences, it is not an accident!" Long Qing said, furious and put the teacup heavily on the table.

With a click, the fine porcelain as thin as a cicada's wings immediately cracked the crack.

"Oh..." Emperor Longqing felt so distressed. This is a set of things! If you break one, it will be incomplete!

So he became even more angry and shouted at Zhang Juzheng: "Some people are simply obscene and lawless!"

Zhang Juzheng quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will investigate this case thoroughly. No matter who you are involved, how high your official position or how powerful you are, you will definitely bring him to justice!"

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's attitude was quite right, Long Qing said with a look of a glare: "Of course I can trust Master Zhang."

"Shame, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach Your Majesty's expectations." Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity to make a suggestion: "Your Majesty, if Gao Suqing doesn't come out, the ghosts and monsters cannot be suppressed."

"Um..." Longqing nodded and sat down slowly. Chen Hong hurriedly changed to Yansheng Ci to play with him.

After a while, the emperor calmed down and said, "Of course I dreamed that Master Gao was coming back. But in the past six months, he was all defeated by the Grand Secretary. I fought back three times, and he had already made Master Gao offend three ministers and dared not make enemies for him."

The emperor naturally had the power to reject the court's recommendation, but in this way, the people were naturally angry and believed that the emperor was against the public opinion and insisted on his own. The rejected official would be full of resentment. They did not dare to do anything to the emperor, but they would point their anger at the person who caused all this.

Gao Gong is not popular at all, and now he is even less popular.

Zhang Juzheng nodded. The Grand Secretary Tingtui was involved in the participation of Kedao. Judging from the current situation, it is undoubtedly difficult for Gao Gong to take this route.

"I have also issued an order, and Master Jian Gao returned to Beijing." Long Qing sighed again: "But he refused."

Of course, the emperor could also directly issue an order to appoint officials besides the court recommendation. This is called "special Jian", just like Zhang Cong and Gui E were specially scribbled as a cabinet minister by Emperor Jiajing.

However, the Grand Secretary who came up in this way violated political conventions and was deeply opposed by all officials. He was hindered from his work everywhere. Once he made a mistake, he would be attacked by a group of people. Therefore, Zhang Gong and Gui'e had not worked for a few years, and he finished his historical mission and then left home.

Gao Gong obviously doesn't want to repeat the tragic fate of Zhang Gui and the others...

"It's understandable," Zhang Juzheng said softly: "If you enter the cabinet, Gao Xiang's situation will be very difficult."

"What's the trick of Master Zhang?" Emperor Longqing had no choice.

"I think I am stupid, and there is a good opportunity to detour right now." Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty can appoint Gao Xiang as the imperial envoy to inspect the southeast. This position is not of no rank and is just an institution, so naturally it does not need to be promoted by the court. When Gao Xiang calms down the chaos in the southeast, it will be natural to go to court after the matter is finished. Who can stop him from reentering the cabinet?"

"Ah! A good idea!" Long Qing's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Why didn't I expect to use this method to let Master Gao come out first. Wouldn't it be easier to do it after he comes out?"

"When will the order be issued?" Long Qing asked again.

He is willing to exchange the full set of "Jin Ping Mei" Yan Sheng porcelain for his master Gao. Well, this is the sincere relationship that transcends the monarch, minister, and disciple!

"I can't be anxious, Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng said calmly: "Gao Xiang is the second assistant to retire. How can the country's important weapons be moved lightly? You have to have someone to take the lead first before you can make a legitimate appearance."

"Master Zhang means..." Long Qing touched Yansheng Ci with his hand, and his face suddenly appeared, but he was actually full of doubts. What is the twists and turns that are going to make trouble?

"What a minister means to wait a moment first. Let the successor Governor Ying Tian investigate the case. Then there are only two results: either there is no evidence to investigate and make big things small; or it will be a mess and out of control. No matter which one appears, you can just get back on the high court."

"I understand the latter one, can it be fine if you make a big deal?" Long Qing smacked his lips in confusion, feeling that the donkey intestines is no longer fragrant.

"Since Your Majesty is sure that there is another hidden truth, if the governor dares to turn a big matter into a small matter, he will be deceived by the saint. Your Majesty will directly dismiss him from office and investigate him. In anger, he will be reinstated. Who dares to object again?" Then Zhang Juzheng said coldly: "Whoever opposes is a traitor, and all of them will be dismissed!"

"Hiss..." Emperor Longqing tasted it and nodded. He could take the opportunity to deal with those bad-minded censors without making enemies for Master Gao. This method is very impressive.

But he thought of another possibility and couldn't help asking: "What if the imperial envoy handled the case?"

"Haha..." Bugu smiled confidently, his beautiful beard swaying on his chest. "It's impossible. Jiangnan has been ill for a long time and is terminally ill. No one can do it except Gao Xiang."
