Wenyuan Pavilion looks very deserted here.

With the improvement of the cabinet's status, Wenyuan Pavilion has become the most important place in the Ming Dynasty. Even if the six ministers of the ministers arrive, they must be reported by the cabinet officials before they can enter here.

Although Wenyuan Pavilion has personnel such as the Seilang, the officials and the officers, the protagonists here are four Pavilion Masters. They walk carefully every day and have no sense of existence at all.

Guo Pu and Lin Qing, wearing first-class official uniforms, walked through the quiet courtyard, bathed in the sun, walked up to Wenyuan Pavilion along the steps, and then walked directly into the center room.

The cabinet conference hall is on the left side of the statue of Confucius, and the air here is filled with a tea fragrance.

Xu Jie and Li Chunfang were already sitting here. Seeing the two people coming in from outside, Xu Jie raised his hand like a spring breeze and said, "You sit down first, we four have to have a chat!"

Four people?

Guo Pu and Lin Qingran are both smart people, but knowing that Xu Jie emphasizes the number of people so much, it reveals that he is full of confidence in eliminating Gao Gong and even declares the sovereignty of the cabinet to them.

Once Gao Gong leaves his post, their alliance will no longer have an advantage, and they will lose the best bond with Longqing.

In terms of number of people, although the two sides are two pairs, Xu Jie and Li Chunfang are ranked first and second, and they can completely defeat Guo Pu, who is ranked third and Gao Gong, who is ranked fourth.

In the Holy Family, the four of them had no close relationship with Long Qing, and Xu Jie's Jiajing imperial edict was of great success to possess the dragon, and they were even slightly better.

That's true. After Xu Jie eliminates Gao Gong, he will regain control of the cabinet and become the real chief minister of the cabinet.

Guo Pu and Lin Qiran looked at this disgusting face, and knew that Xu Jie was already proud and said calmly: "Yes!"

Guo Pu sat first on the right, while Lin Qingran came to Li Chunfang. When he was in contact with Li Chunfang, Li Chunfang was still a gentleman, and nodded slightly to Lin Qingran.

Xu Jie picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, but asked Guo Pu: "Master Guo, Mr. Gao Ge is not here to go to court today, do you know why?"

"If you go back to Yuanfu, I don't know about this!" Guo Pu naturally would not tell him truthfully, and he pretended to be confused.

Xu Jie seemed not surprised at all by this answer, but he said with deliberate regret: "Grade Gao is really entrusted to him this time, but he doesn't expect that Wang Jiluo is so rebellious, and he is also involved in Grade Gao!"

this……

Lin Weiran and Li Chunfang couldn't help but exchange a glance, saying that they were going to confirm the mistake of the cabinet.

"Gaoge Lao did make some mistakes in Wang Jiluo, but we must also see the achievements made by Gaoge Lao to rectify the administration!" Guo Pu's brows immediately frowned, but stood up to defend himself.

Although he was once the Minister of Personnel, he was restrained by all parties at that time and was also afraid of personnel and could only turn a blind eye to the promotion of some related households.

On the other hand, since Gao Gong took office, he has really carried out government administration with great strides. He has not forgiven the officials with problems, but has vigorously promoted the capable officials, which has allowed the Ming Dynasty to evolve in a good direction.

Perhaps because he was the Minister of Personnel, he deeply felt Gao Gong's difficulty.

Selecting virtuous people and appointing abilities and punishing corruption and eliminating corruption are two simple words, but how many people can really be achieved in this officialdom? Even Lin Weiran may not be as selfless as Gao Gong and dare to offend him.

Power of any side.

But, several specific pro-party members cultivated by Gao Gong were attacked. Wang Jiluo, especially his own self-discipline, fell into a trap and was labeled as having two big hats of having an affair with Bai Lian and a cowardly enemy.

Xu Jie looked at Guo Pu indifferently, and maintained a gentle smile on his face and said, "Gei Master Guo, I naturally saw that Gaoge Master had made the contribution to rectifying the administration of officials, but we must not act arbitrarily! Although he is the cabinet commander of all officials,

But you must not act arbitrarily, and you must also listen to the opinions of all the officials below!"

What are the opinions of the officials below?

When he heard this remark, Lin Weiran and Guo Pu couldn't help but exchange a glance, but knew that Xu Jie was suggesting that once Gao Gong did not retreat, the censor Ke Dao would definitely attack Gao Gong.

If it were Wang Jiluo's case alone, Gao Gong could actually survive, but unfortunately, Gao Gong was previously revealed by Xu Jie to "fashion the master's power" action.

"The officials are not necessarily fair!" Although Guo Pu knew that Gao Gong was doomed, he still replied coldly.

Although Gao Gong had acted as a "stylist" in "stylist", Gao Gong was a person who really wanted to do things for this dynasty, and was a hundred times stronger than the chief minister who was in charge of the corpse.

In essence, everyone here made the mistake of "stylisting the master and plotting power", but Gao Gong was accidentally "exposed" this time, and they all just didn't give anyone a handle.

No one was born to know how to write Qing Ci. The big men of the Jiajing Dynasty racked their brains to please Jiajing, and then stood out from many competitors, undoubtedly following Gao Gong as a charming master.

However, this is a rule of the game in the officialdom. No matter how you seek power in your heart, what dirty things you have done. As long as you are not exposed, you can become a "virtuous prime minister" like Xu Jie.

Even if he faces other people's doubts without evidence, as long as he can find a grand excuse, he can still be safe and sound. For example, Xu Jie also became the chief minister by writing Qing Ci, but he put forward the guise of "loyalty to the emperor".

But this person is really not a loyal official who is charming the master, but a loyal official? If he were such a loyal minister, Xu Jie would not have written such a Jiajing decree and turned all the responsibility on Emperor Jiajing.

However, he continues to have a good image of a "virtuous prime minister".

Xu Jie knew that this was Guo Pu's angry words, but he changed the subject and said: "Let's not matter whether the officials are fair or not, Dali Temple has already tried Wang Jiluo's case clearly. Let's discuss how to sentence it!"

In the morning court just now, Long Qing had handed over Wang Jiluo's case to the cabinet for discussion, so this is a topic that the cabinet meeting cannot avoid.

Lin Xuran was not in a hurry to speak, but turned his eyes to Guo Pu, but Guo Pu had a sudden inspiration and said, "Geor Li is the second assistant, so he should talk first!"

This move is undoubtedly very beautiful, but it allows the other party to express their opinions first and thus gain the initiative.

Xu Jie was already confident about this matter, so he looked at Li Chunfang gently.

Li Chunfang knew Xu Jie's thoughts and expressed his opinions: "Wang Jiluo's concubine Li is a disciple of Bai Lian. Whether Wang Jiluo knows this or not, we should treat it as an affair with Bai Lian!"

"Gei Master Lin, I wonder if you think it's right?" Xu Jie walked around Guo Pu, but smiled at Lin Weiran with a smile.

Lin Xu Ran didn't want to see Xu Jie's annoying face, but he still had to bend and stretch his mind when he was in the officialdom.

Even if he hates Xu Jie's face, he can only ignore it, but maintains his usual peaceful life until he can step on the other side.

Lin Qingran looked at Guo Pu who was frowning and immediately gave a view: "Master Yuan Fu, the so-called "those who do not know are not guilty, we should be cautious!"

"Yes, Wang Weiluo and his concubine Li Xiao have known each other for only a few months, so they are inevitably neglecting to prevent this. This matter is mostly a detailed work by the White Lotus Sect deliberately placed by him!" Guo Pu also stood up and said authentically.

"Old Lin Ge, several Shanxi merchants in Shanxi are just selling some goods to smuggling merchants. You can determine that they are all possessed. But now, Wang Jiluo's concubine Li is already a member of the White Lotus Sect. How can you say that Wang Jiluo does not acquaintance with Bai Lian?

What about teaching?" Xu Jie was slightly displeased, but he said to Lin Qiran.

Lin Qingran looked at Xu Jie lightly and retorted lightly: "Shanxi merchants are just a group of profit-oriented people who sell their country for a little money. How can these people be compared with the fourth-rank official of the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty!

Shang pretended to be confused for profit, but Wang Jiluo was suspected of being framed, but he could not just because Wang Jiluo's concubine Li, whom Wang Jiluo had been recruited for several months, was a White Lotus Sect. He arbitrarily believed that Wang Jiluo had an affair with Bai Lian!"

"Gemaster Lin, do you think Wang Jiluo is not considered dead, right?" Xu Jie didn't expect Lin Junran to defend Wang Jiluo so clearly, but he said with anger and smiled.

"Since Dali Temple has found out that Wang Jiluo was bewitched by his concubine and did not lead troops to fight, Wang Jiluo has already been guilty of being unable to fight, so he is naturally dead!" Lin Junran also gave the answer with a clear attitude.

Although he had just clarified his relationship with Bai Lian for Wang Jiluo, he did not think that Wang Jiluo could escape the death penalty.

Even if Wang Jiluo was really bewitched by the White Lotus Sect, it is also a fact that he did not send troops in time. This is a crime of being cowardly and defeated, so he naturally has to be punished according to the law.

this……

When Li Chunfang heard that Lin Weiran was not blindly defending Wang Jiluo, but wanted to make things more reasonable, and also turned his head silently to look at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie's brows frowned, and according to his intention, he put a hat of affair with the white lotus on Wang Jiluo, which made Gao Gong also dyed the cause and effect of the white lotus.

But just as this guy saw through this, he was so strongly opposed that it was already difficult to pass the charge.

"Mr. Lin Ge is right! If Dali Temple thinks that Wang Jiluo has an affair with Bai Lian, then it will provide enough evidence instead of just relying on the fact that Wang Jiluo has an affair with Bai Lian, the newly acquired concubine is a member of the White Lotus Sect, then it is believed that Wang Jiluo has an affair with Bai Lian." Guo Pu

He also realized that Xu Jie had bad intentions and immediately stood up to support Lin Qinran and said.

"Okay, this matter will be left to Dali Temple for further review!" Xu Jie hesitated for a moment and compromised.

At this point, a conclusion was already made. The cabinet kicked the case back to Daliqing and asked Dali Temple to review it again before reporting it.

Li Chunfang knew that this matter might be their concessions in the end. Not to mention that Zou Yinglong could not provide new evidence, he did not believe that Wang Jiluo had an affair with Bai Lian.

That's why Wang Jiluo was also pushed to the guillotine, the charge was not for affair with Bai Lian, but because he was afraid of the enemy and did not fight.

Forbidden City, in a palace in the harem.

A group of young girls were dancing gracefully in the hall, while the beautiful women in the head frequently sent a secret wave of autumn to Longqing above, like a scene of a king who was destroyed.

Emperor Longqing, wearing a dragon robe, changed his image of yawning in the Golden Palace. Now he seems to have changed his body, looking at the dancer with his legs exposed in the hall with a glass of wine.

Longqing grew up in an environment lacking fatherly and maternal love. Because he was not outstanding, especially his brain was not flexible enough, he lived cautiously in Prince Yu's Mansion.

For a long time, Longqing didn't even dare to go out, and resolutely was a fat man.

In order not to find fault with his father and officials, he carefully maintained a humble image and deliberately created an image of a "virtuous king".

But now, Longqing has finally been liberated, but he no longer has to worry about whether he will be impeached or blamed by his father. A good era for him is coming quietly.

It is inevitable that some of Longqing’s problems will inevitably be exposed.

Although he has read a lot of books of sages, he has inherited his father's selfishness and does not take the people to heart. His greatest preference is pleasure and women, and now he plans to live such a comfortable life.

.

Just when Longqing was in full swing, Teng Xiang, the chief of the Sili Supervisor, and Chen Hong, the Chief of the Sili Supervisor, came hurriedly. Teng Xiang seemed to shout softly, "Emperor!"

"What's the matter? Don't always disturb me with such things. Everything is planned to be implemented according to the cabinet's ticket!" Long Qing glanced at Teng Xiang and said impatiently.

He knew that he did not have the ability to handle government affairs, and he was even more unwilling to waste time on these boring government affairs, and he did not dare to trust the eunuchs criticized by civil servants too much.

That's why he chose a simple and crude method: the memorials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces were based on the cabinet's votes, and the Sili Supervisor approved the rewards, and he enjoyed his daily life.

Of course, in order to avoid becoming a foolish monarch, he also asked the people from the Silijian to check, but intercepted those really ruthless votes.

But so far, the cabinet's plan has not shown any tyrannical behavior. This matter has been working very well, and he has had plenty of time to enjoy himself.

"Your Majesty, this matter is about Mr. Gao, and you have to make a decision!" Teng Xiang looked at Jiaqing, who was staring at the dancer's long legs, but he bit the bullet and reminded him.

"What's wrong with Master Gao?" Long Qing's eyes were still wandering on the dancer in the hall, but he asked disapprovingly.

Teng Xiang swallowed and spitted, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Mr. Gao has just handed over the letter!"

"Why did Master Gao resign?" Long Qing finally turned his head and said incredibly surprised.
