He asked: "Then what did Lu Shangshu say in front of Empress Dowager Li?"

If he were in Cining Palace, he would know even if a fly crows a few times, not to mention what they talked about.

However, Zhu Xizhong, as a minister of the foreign court, could not meet him in the palace, so he ran to Qianqing Palace.

There are people from the Jin Yiwei over there. If Zhu Xizhong's secrets can't be guarded, then being the commander of the Jin Yiwei will be in vain.

So, until now, he still doesn't know what happened yesterday.

Lu Tiaoyang glanced at Feng Bao and said calmly: "Yesterday, Empress Dowager Li asked me why Yan Guan was impeached and what the ancestral law was."

"Zhu Xizhong is on the sidelines, so I can only answer truthfully."

Answering truthfully would be detrimental to Feng Bao.

The two of them knew this well.

After hearing this, Feng Bao dismissed the two eunuchs holding lamps and asked them to guard outside the house and not let anyone get close.

Then he said to Lu Tiaoyang: "Then what happened to Li Jin?"

Lu Tiaoyang told the truth: "The father-in-law and Duke Cheng will be here when I go."

"Li Jin was also recommended by Duke Cheng. Whether he has a tacit understanding with the father of the kingdom is unknown."

From an outsider's perspective.

As soon as there were rumors of impeachment of Feng Bao in the outer court, the head of state took Zhu Xizhong to find the Queen Mother.

Then it happened that Zhu Xizhong recommended someone from Empress Dowager Li's mother's clan.

Whether there is any connection between them is really hard to say.

As for whether the emperor suddenly pulled him to meet the Queen Mother, whether it was a whim or a tacit understanding, Lu Tiaoyang did not dare to think deeply.

Seeing Feng Bao's ugly face, he could only comfort him and said: "Feng Dajue, Li Jin is a relative after all. After Gao Gong becomes an official, we can find another excuse to impeach the relative for interfering in politics."

Whether this kind of distant relative is a foreign relative or not depends entirely on the whim of the court official.

It is in line with the etiquette system. Someone Lu said it, but it does not represent the attitude of the officials anyway.

After Feng Bao heard this, he didn't feel better at all.

Instead, he was full of emotions: "Waiting for Gao Gong to become an official!? I'm afraid I'll die in his hands first!"

Lu Tiaoyang's expression changed, and he understood the meaning of his words.

He quickly asked: "What does this mean? And what did Feng Dajue say just now that Gao Gong was waiting for?"

Feng Bao snorted coldly.

His posturing was just to take the lead in the conversation, and was not really an attempt to hold him accountable.

Cooperation would benefit both sides, and he naturally knows what anger should be endured.

Feng Bao took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to Lu Tiaoyang: "I copied this from the cabinet lobby. Lu Shangshu might as well read it slowly."

Lu Tiaoyang's expression changed: "How dare you go to the cabinet to steal books!"

Even if the target was Gao Gong, Lu Tiaoyang would never be able to bear it.

Today he could go to the cabinet and secretly copy memorials, but tomorrow he wouldn't even dare to think of anything he could do.

Feng Bao said nothing.

Lu Tiaoyang took a deep look at Feng Bao and could only say that he was indeed Feng Bao. Even if the Dongchang was gone, his importance should not be underestimated.

He also understood that this was not the time to care.

I felt disgusted in my heart, but I still accepted the memorial.

The words on the cover are crooked, obviously due to being too hasty.

Lu Tiaoyang didn't take it seriously at first. He flipped through two pages and his expression changed wildly.

He was shocked and lost his voice: "How dare Gao Gongan!?"

…

Gao Gong took a seat on the guest seats on both sides and fiddled with his robes casually.

It's rather willful and natural.

Although he has a bad temper, he is calm when facing big events.

He motioned Ge Shouli to sit down as well: "Don't worry about who comes out to oppose me, let's just do our thing step by step."

Ge Shouli took the opportunity to sit down, but he didn't understand what he meant: "But the palace has repeatedly pressed you, and coupled with Yang Bo's impeachment, they are forcing you to submit a letter to become an official. How can you do anything?"

Gao Gong handed over the official memorial he had just written: "You are here just in time."

"This is my petition for dismissal. I will send it to the General Affairs Department early tomorrow morning."

Ge Shouli suddenly stood up.

"Yuansuke..."

Gao Gong stretched out his hand to hold him down: "Don't be impatient for a moment."

Ge Shouli said in a very anxious tone: "Yuan Fu really wants to become an official?"

Gao Gong looked into Ge Shouli's eyes and suddenly became very serious: "Yu Li, I said, you remember."

Ge Shouli immediately sat upright.

Gao Gong slowly said: "After I submit my report, the Secretary of General Affairs will not send him to the palace immediately. He will drag me for most of the day."

"Tomorrow's court meeting, you will submit another memorial on my behalf."

He took out a memorial from his sleeve and signaled to Ge Shouli.

Ge Shouli was confused: "Won't Yuan Fu go to the court for discussion?"

Listening to this meaning, both memorials were submitted on his behalf, but what about himself?

Gao Gong shook his head: "I have other important matters."

Seeing that he didn't know what to say, Ge Shouli could only nod helplessly and took the memorial from Gao Gong.

There are only a few big characters written on the face, with dragons and phoenixes dancing, which are "Five Urgent Matters of the New Deal".

Ge Shouli didn't know the details, so he opened two pages.

He murmured: "When the royal family listens to the government, all government affairs must be handled according to the old rules of the ancestors and answered by Yuyin personally, so as to see that the government orders come from the master, and the ministers dare not intervene..."

His complexion changed drastically, and his heart felt like thunder and lightning!

What is Yuyin’s personal answer!

That is, when the cabinet has something to report, the emperor personally answers whether it is acceptable or not.

Originally, the cabinet submitted it to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and then the two palaces and the emperor intervened.

Now that Yuyin has to answer it in person, how can he have anything to do with the Supervisor of Ceremonies!?

This is to essentially abolish the ceremonial supervisor!

And this memorial is Gao Gong's memorial to seize the power of Supervisor of Ceremonies!

He looked down a few more times and felt his heart pounding.

"If there is something that has not been drafted yet and is approved internally, it can only be implemented after the ministers and other officials understand it."

Internal batching is the goal.

If the central decree still needs to be understood by the cabinet, what else is it called the central decree?

This clearly means that the central decree cannot be implemented without the approval of the cabinet vote!

Ge Shouli almost no longer dared to look down.

"The original words of officials and people should be carried out and stopped. There is no reason to leave them unpublished... I hope that all the original words of officials and people will be issued as soon as possible."

This poem is a memorial. What does it mean to keep something in mind but not express it?

That is to say, the emperor cannot leave any memorials unpublished.

This means that even the emperor’s privilege of staying in China must be restricted!

He was so horrified that he finally didn't dare to look anymore and closed the door suddenly: "Yuan Fu..."

Gao Gong was in agreement with him regarding the matter of the power of reality.

But he didn’t expect the high arch to reach this level!

No wonder!

No wonder Gao Gong said that even if he, Ge Shouli, betrayed him, he would not be surprised.

At first glance, he seemed to be trembling, almost ready to leave first.

Gao Gong shook his head: "Do your best and obey fate."
