The next day, it was just dawn, and there were a few sparse remaining stars in the north.

Officials gathered in the square in front of the Meridian Gate. As Gao Gong became a thing of the past, the enthusiasm of officials had turned to the Xu Party without realizing it, and was vigorously praising the core personnel of the Xu Party.

In particular, those middle and low-level officials even surrounded Xu Fan, making Xu Fan almost float up, as if he had become Yan Shifan II.

The old master's sedan always comes later. When Lin Weiran got off the sedan, he saw Xu Jie coming down from the sedan and said hello: "Good morning Yuanfu!"

"Haha... Good morning, Mr. Lin!" Xu Jie, wearing a python robe, looked energetic and replied.

Lin Qingran originally wanted to walk to the front with Xu Jie, but noticed that Guo Pu happened to be in the sedan chair behind him, so he stood there waiting for Guo Pu to come.

Guo Pu looked a little haggard, and followed Lin Qingran and nodded slightly. The two of them walked towards the front tacitly.

The two of them fell only a few meters away from Xu Jie, but the officials in front seemed to have only Xu Jie in their eyes. Some officials even ignored them directly, which made Guo Pu sigh: "The warmth and coldness of human feelings!"

Lin Weiran also felt the changes of the officials, and a bitter look appeared on his face.

But he knew that this was the most real situation in the officialdom. When you were in power, you seemed to be surrounded by your people; after you lost power, you would find that you were actually surrounded by your enemies.

The loss of Gao Gong this time is indeed much greater for their small group than expected. First, Gao Gong is the strongest link connecting Longqing, and second, Gao Gong occupies the most valuable Ministry of Personnel.

Shangshu, they were hit hard by two consecutive severe injuries.

The enthusiasm of officials is obviously inclined toward Xu Jie's side, especially Zhang Juzheng is resolutely a darling, and is surrounded by many officials.

Zhang Juzheng knew that he was only one step away from the Minister of Personnel. He faced the deliberate compliments of the people around him. When he responded humbly, he felt like he had drunk wine.

Lin Xuran saw all this, but he complained unintentionally, but followed Xu Jie and others to stand in front, looking up at the city gate in front.

As the bells and drums in Wu Tower rang out, the city gate also slowly opened.

Xu Jie led all the civil and military officials into it, and the team passed through the Jinshui Bridge in an orderly manner, and then came to this magnificent Golden Palace.

With the arrival of the emperor, the officials knelt down and shouted long live.

Long Qing no longer likes the profession of the emperor. He followed the yawning and the world that he had appeared in the past. He sat down on the dragon chaise and raised his hand in a coping manner and said, "Flat!"

"Thank you, my emperor, long live my emperor!" Xu Jie led all the officials to thank him respectfully, then stood up from the ground and carefully examined Emperor Longqing on the dragon throne.

Longqing's attitude was sluggish, but he didn't know which concubine spent the night in the bed last night, or he favored the dancer, and he looked exhausted.

Under the current system of Emperors of Ming Dynasty, if a talented and stubborn emperor appears in this country, it is probably like scratch-off.

Chen Hong stood in a fixed position and sang dutifully: "If you have a book, you will leave the court without a book!"

When the officials heard this, they all looked at the four cabinet masters in front.

Xu Jie's mouth raised slightly, and he put one hand into his sleeve, making a gesture to leave. Lin Qingran noticed Xu Jie's movements, but took the lead.

Huh?

Li Chunfang and Guo Pu both noticed their actions, but found that Lin Junran seemed to be trying to rush forward to Xu Jie, and an accident arose.

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"

But at this moment, a sound suddenly rang.

The officials were surprised to find that the person who stood up first was neither Xu Jie, the chief minister of the cabinet, nor Lin Qinran, the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace, but was resolutely Pan Sheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Pan Sheng was a very low-key official. He entered the officialdom as a Hanlin editor. He worked hard in the Hanlin Academy for fourteen years before being exiled to Nanjing.

Because he had a good official reputation, he was especially the few ci ministers who did not write about Qing Ci's affairs in Jiajing. In addition, there was Gao Gong in the court, Chen Yiqin and others of the same year, and this year he also returned to the court as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

But what surprised everyone was that the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites had ignored the unspoken rules of the morning court and actually surpassed the many bigwigs in front of him to come forward to report the matter.

Longqing's eyes lit up slightly, but he wanted to end this morning court earlier. He immediately raised his hand and said gently: "Pan Aiqing, please report it!"

"I... want to impeach Master Xu!" Pan Sheng hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Long Qing and said loudly.

ah……

As soon as these words came out, the palace was shocked!

But no matter what, he never expected that the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had been very low-key since he returned from Nanjing, pointed the finger at the chief minister of the dynasty. This was simply seeking death and he wanted to return to Nanjing to continue his retirement.

Some officials looked at Pan Sheng's strange behavior and seemed to think of something, but they all looked at Lin Weiran and Guo Pu.

Lin Qingran was also stunned, but turned his head to look at Guo Pu next to him. Guo Pu shook his head gently.

Although he and Pan Sheng were old acquaintances in the Hanlin Academy, he chose to write Qing Ci to seek promotion, but Pan Sheng was like an old stubborn person and never submitted Qing Ci to Jiajing. The two actually had no friendship.

Now that Pan Sheng was hearing that he wanted to impeach Xu Jie, he was also full of doubts.

Longqing was not too surprised. After all, it was a damn time to be quiet, so he spoke directly: "Pan Aiqing, why did you impeach Master Xu?"

"I impeached Mr. Xu to use his power for personal gain! His eldest son, Xu Fan, was appointed as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and now he is in charge of the position of Emperor Shaoqing! However, Mr. Xu sent his son to his house yesterday evening.

He actually asked me to help his son Xu Fan to take the position of the six ministers, which was a personal use of power! I begged the emperor to severely punish such behaviors to correct the rules!" Pan Sheng looked at Longqing with his eyes facing him and accused him with grief and anger.

Huh?

When the officials in the hall heard this, they looked at Xu Fan one after another.

There are some officials who are familiar with the matter. After all, it was not Pan Sheng's family that was walking around, so many officials know that this matter was not slandered by Pan Sheng.

When Lin Weiran and Guo Pu heard this accusation, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Pan Sheng.
Chapter completed!
