Chapter 28 According to Panhu, the drama begins(1/3)

Gaoyi's instinct was inappropriate and he couldn't speak clearly, so he frowned and said: "Yuan Fu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."

Zhang Ju was looking directly at Shanling, and there was already one person missing from the cabinet.

In these troubled times, with heavy official duties, Gao Gong actually wanted him to take a leave of absence. Everyone could tell that something was wrong.

Naturally, Gao Gong would not be easily tricked into telling the truth. He said in a serious tone: "Zixiang, I have to take some action in the next few days, for fear of affecting you and your uncle."

Gao Yi was startled: "Something done!? Yuan Fu, what are you going to do?"

He was immediately alert. As the chief assistant, Gao Gong had taken many actions, but he had never acted so seriously.

Moreover, it will not affect colleagues.

Now that I have said this, I am afraid that there is more noise than before!

Gao Gong said in a deep voice: "I have a deep grudge with Feng Bao. If I keep him, he will definitely become my enemy and obstruct the great government."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand, clenched it weakly, and his words almost came out from between his teeth: "I want to strike first!"

These words are false and true.

What he wants to do is not just as simple as removing Feng Bao!

Not only Feng Bao, but the entire Supervisor of Ceremonies no longer needs to exist.

But this cannot be said to Gaoyi.

Zhang Siwei's words that day convinced him.

The people under his command did not trust these two ministers, and he did not want them to be involved in this whirlpool, so he said what he said today.

Gao Gong's indomitable look made Gao Yi suddenly see the domineering chief minister who expelled Li Chunfang and Yin Shizhan.

I believed it immediately.

Besides, civil servants had never had a good impression of eunuchs like Feng Bao. After hearing Gao Gong's words, Gao Yi didn't think there was anything wrong.

If the cabinet does not suppress the ceremonial supervisors, is it going to let the eunuchs ride on the heads of the scholar-bureaucrats?

Instead, it aroused the same hatred: "In this case, Zuo Kui and I should be allowed to assist Yuan Fu."

Gao Gong shook his head: "Feng Baoshen has Li's trust. If I act like this, I will definitely hate her."

"If all cabinet ministers are involved, it will inevitably lead to suspicion both internally and externally."

"It's better for me to be a villain and you stay out of it, so as to ease the relationship with Mr. Li."

"I heard that Zi Xiang is very close to the new king, so it is even more important to keep his innocence and reconcile the inside and outside."

These words are reasonable and reasonable, Gaoyi thought about it and it is indeed the same.

If the cabinet wants to do things, it cannot always be on bad terms with the two houses.

This arrangement is also like Gao Gong's style - he has never been afraid of being a villain.

Thinking of this, Gaoyi was mostly convinced and only asked with concern: "Are you sure?"

The situation was now sensitive, and he was afraid that Gao Gong's defeat would affect the situation of the DPRK.

Gao Gong laughed, looking very heroic. He patted Gao Yi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Zi Xiang. A mere half-month-long appointment as Chief of Ceremonies, how does it compare to Xu Jie, who has been an assistant minister for more than ten years?"

"Even if it's Yan Song, how can I ever be defeated?"

"The position of Feng Bao's palm seal has never been explicitly stated. I have tolerated it for the sake of the country before and did not challenge it. As soon as the new king ascends the throne, it will be time."

"Liuke, Taijian, and Liubu are all my people. I don't believe Li can stop them."

Gao Yi felt relieved after hearing this.

After all, this is not like a grand ceremony, with countless courtiers waving flags and cheering for Sejong.

The cabinet wants to take action against the eunuch. How can any civil servant dare to risk the disapproval of the world and stand on the side of the eunuch?

Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death in the main hall like Ma Shun?

Gao Yi didn't feel there was anything wrong, so he nodded: "Then Yuan Fu is more careful. I'll take a leave of absence for a few days."

Gao Gong laughed: "Recuperate well for a few days. When you come back, the new king will have a sutra feast. You will be very busy by then."

The two of them chatted for a while.

Gao Gong then sent Gao Yi out, and then said: "By the way, don't tell your uncle about this matter. The Supervisor of Ceremonies will also send someone to inspect the mountain mausoleum. If you know too much, the news will easily leak out."

Only after Gao Yi was completely coaxed away did Gao Gong feel relieved.

After watching Gao Yi leave, he returned to the desk with an inexplicable expression, stunned.

What he wants to do next is naturally much more intense than what he told Gao Yi.

Not only Feng Bao, but the entire ceremonial supervisor, the entire inner court eunuchs, and even the Li family, as well as the minions of the imperial power, will all be his opponents!

He knew that if he took this step, he would either be doomed and his reputation as a man of intimidation to his lord would be recorded in history, or he would reorganize the government and restore the central phase that had been missing for two hundred years.

Taizu's generation dared to abolish the prime minister system that spanned nearly two thousand years of history and treat courtiers as retainers. It really stinks!

Look at the emperors of the Zhu family. How many of them are decent?

The current situation is ruined, and these people must bear half of the responsibility!

What is the situation like when the emperor has no restraint? Are they messing around in the leopard room? Seeking truth and cultivating Taoism? Indulging in female sex?

He has long been out of sight with his high arch!

Emperor, you are inherited by blood, and your talents are not certain.

It's enough to be wise, but what if you are mediocre? How great the harm to the world will be caused by the mediocre people who have no one to restrain them!

Now that the world has reached this level, the people of Emperor Shizong and Jiajing cannot escape the blame! It's a pity that no one can restrain it.

Song Yingzong misbehaved, and Fu Bi dared to say openly, "I can do anything about Yihuo." How dare the current cabinet ministers dare to say this?

If the cabinet had Fu Bi's status, would Sejong An dare to do this?

Because of this, Gao Gong often lay awake all night, tossing and turning.

I think Liu Chan is nothing more than a middle-aged man. If he had not been assisted by Zhuge Wuhou, how could he have left his name in history?

If the emperors of the former Song Dynasty had not ruled together with the scholar-bureaucrats, how could the world have been so prosperous?

Therefore, the emperor must have at least a few prime ministers who are sent to the states and counties to assist him, so that he can assist the virtuous king, supervise the unworthy, and cheer up the country!

It is really ridiculous that Taizu abandoned the two thousand years of being a prime minister.

Fortunately, Gao Gong finally saw this opportunity.

During the two hundred years of the country's reign, no one had brought order to the chaos, and now it was up to him to do so.

The world is seriously ill and the emperor cannot save it, so why not let "Zhuge Wuhou" who has been fighting for a long time give it a try!

Even if it fails, it can still leave a good story.

Gao Gong thought of this and strengthened his confidence again.

He called the official on duty and ordered: "Let Ge Shouli, the censor of Zuodu, come to see me."

When it comes to major government affairs, the person who takes the lead must be Yan Guan.

Zuodu Yushi was the chief official of the Duchayuan and one of the nine ministers, and Ge Shouli was Gao Gong's mouthpiece.

The new king will take the throne soon, so it's time for him to take action.



Early morning on the ninth day of June.

Zhu Yijun did not visit the court as usual.

Because today is the day before his enthronement, for tomorrow's ceremony, he has to "rehearse" with the Ministry of Etiquette in advance.

Zhu Yijun held a long scroll of sacrificial inscriptions and read until his mouth went dry.

He did a rough calculation and found that there were 4,349 words, and he had not read a single word!

I don’t know who is ignorant and doesn’t know how to understand the leadership.

He secretly made up his mind that when he could influence the Ministry of Rites, the first thing he would do was to popularize punctuation marks.

My eyes are almost going blind!

Zhu Yijun went through the cutscenes in Fengxian Hall, Hongxiao Hall, and Shenxiao Hall.

Apart from having more words, there is no other difficulty.

On the other hand, in the following week, both palaces were not available today, so he was left to memorize the lyrics alone.

When there was a break, Zhu Yijun had time to call Zhang Hong and asked, "What did the two palaces do today?"

Although the rehearsal is just a formality, the two palaces have nothing more important and cannot be absent.

Zhang Hong replied: "The imperial concubine and the empress left the palace early this morning."

Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully: "Have you left the palace?"

Zhang Hong lowered his voice: "Last night, Deping Bo Li Ming passed away."
