During the Spring Festival, the capital city is a continuous and clear weather. All households frequently greet New Year's greetings. Children wearing new clothes chase each other on the streets, presenting a festive atmosphere of the New Year.

After being summoned by Longqing, Li Chunfang and the other five stopped family affairs one after another. They first changed into a brand new official robe, and then took a sedan chair to the Forbidden City.

"Mr. Lin, I wish you a prosperous life!"

"Gemaster Zhang, I wish you good luck!"

"Gemaster Guo, I wish you good health!"

...

The five people met in front of the palace gate in tacit understanding. The first one to arrive was Zhang Juzheng, and Chen Yiqin, the farthest away, was the last one to arrive, and they all gave New Year's greetings to each other.

Due to the high status of the five people, they need to deal with a steady stream of guests during the Spring Festival. It takes time and energy to visit New Year, so they adopt the custom of sending famous posts to congratulate each other.

Except for Li Chunfang who had met with the other four cabinet masters, the other four cabinet masters had only met for the first time almost before the New Year. At this time, they were all passionate about each other.

Li Chunfang, wearing a crimson official uniform, looked solemn and said earnestly to the four old masters present: "Everyone, we will see the emperor later, please read more and talk less!"

Each cabinet has its own characteristics. The cabinet in Yan Song's period was made by Yan Song's words, while the cabinet in Xu Jie's period was made by Xu Jie's "foxes pretend to be powerful", while the cabinet in today's cabinet is led by Li Chunfang, Lin Qingran and Guo Pu.

The group laid the tone of the cabinet.

Chen Yiqin was a Jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years, but he was born in Sichuan and lacked the foundation of the village party. He did not preside over the examination and did not have the capital to challenge other cabinet masters.

Zhang Juzheng was a Jinshi in Jiajing for 26 years and had been working hard for most of the time. Fortunately, Xu Jie was promoted in the next few years and reached several levels, but he also had the negative effect of "pulling seedlings to encourage growth".

The most important thing is that the foundation of the Xu Party was uprooted by Lin Qiran, and Zhang Juzheng did not receive the political resources left by Xu Jie, and now his foundation is not even as good as Chen Yiqin.

That's why Chen Yiqin and Zhang Juzheng were not as good as Li Chunfang, Lin Qingran and Guo Pu, so when facing Li Chunfang's advice, they naturally could only nod their heads silently.

Lin Junran and Li Chunfang had already communicated in advance, and they were also clear about Li Chunfang's intentions today. Naturally, they were respecting Li Chunfang's choice, and they nodded silently.

"We all listen to Lord Yuanfu! It's getting late, let's go in!" Guo Pu was the one with the most experienced five people. He first sighed lightly, and then said like a big brother.

The group of five people reached a consensus and walked towards the palace gate of the Forbidden City, but they knew that the face of the Saint was destined to be uneasy this time, and it might even cause strong turmoil in the cabinet.

Compared with the New Year atmosphere in the capital, this majestic Forbidden City seems to be in another world, but it lacks the excitement during the Spring Festival, and even has a bit of goose bumps.

Fortunately, when we arrived at the harem area, there was a little more vitality and festive atmosphere for the Spring Festival.

At the Qianqing Gate, there were red cannon suits with firecrackers remaining in the rock gap in front of the door. There were brand new Spring Festival couplets on both sides, and big red lanterns were hung on the eaves.

After passing the report from the eunuch in front of the door, Zhang Fu quickly walked out of it and then enthusiastically introduced the five people to the Qianqing Gate.

The Ganqing Palace has nine rooms wide, with a double-eaved and puppet roof, decorated with golden dragons and seals, and four double-crossed diamond-shaped windows with fiery red inverted "Fu" characters. The east warm pavilion and the west warm pavilion are divided into two sides.

Zhang Fu did not lead the five people to the main hall of the Ganqing Palace, but led them to the Dongguan Pavilion next to him, while Long Qing, wearing pajamas, was lying on the bed.

But I don’t know if Longqing was indeed sick or if he was “overworked” again last night, Longqing’s face looked bad and showed an unhealthy complexion.

If everyone had known that Longqing was a fraudulent illness earlier, but with the rumors about Longqing's urgent call to the imperial physician several times, and Longqing's face was really bad, now he has to worry about Longqing's health.

"I am paying homage to the emperor, long live my emperor!" Li Chunfang and the other five looked at Longqing lying on the head of the bed, and also respectfully bowed.

cough……

Long Qing first coughed, then raised his hand and said lightly: "My dear friends, please calm down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Chunfang and the other five took the opportunity to look at Long Qing's obviously unhealthy face again, and said with a regular thank you.

Lin Qingran knew the situation in the palace best. Long Qing's body had indeed shown signs several times, but it was not as good as having to sleep all day long, so it was the calmest one.

Longqing pretended to cough again, and then said in a miserable way: "I have been suffering from the fire of the heart and liver meridians. I have been in trouble for nearly half a year, and it has improved by the end of the year. Unexpectedly, Li Tao submitted a memorial to slander me, and now I am going to make a memorial. The content leaked and the city was filled with wind and rain, causing my liver fire to relapse. Now I call on all the ministers to come, hoping to relieve my worries!”

Zhang Fu and Feng Bao stood in front of Long Qing's bed, but curiously turned their heads to look at the five cabinet masters present.

The tone now has been set, and because of Li Tao's slander, the emperor's liver fire has relapsed. Now the emperor does not intend to calm down the situation, but rather deals with Li Tao, who was the first to become the Ningbo.

When Lin Qingran and the other four heard Long Qing's argument, they remembered Li Chunfang's advice in front of the palace gate "Look more and less" and couldn't help but turn their heads silently and look at Li Chunfang.

Li Chunfang frowned slightly, and then stood up and responded: "Report to the emperor, your loyal words are unpleasant. Although Li Tao's memorials are exaggerated, they also have the character of Hai Rui back then. Please listen to one or two!"

this……

Standing on his body, Zhang Fu and Feng Bao couldn't help but exchanged glances secretly when they heard Li Chunfang's argument.

Longqing was so angry that he lit up Wanshou Palace last night. How could he hear Li Tao's personal attacks now? At this time, he might even want to tear Li Tao into pieces.

But now, this dignified cabinet chief Li Chunfang actually wanted Longqing to adopt some of Li Tao's suggestions, and he really wanted to touch the tiger's butt.

Lin Junran and Guo Pu knew about Li Chunfang’s choice in advance, but they couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, knowing that Li Chunfang was indeed going to directly advise Yu Longqing this time.

Chen Yiqin and Zhang Juzheng exchanged a glance, but they knew what kind of emperor Longqing was, so they couldn't help but silently lower their heads.

Longqing originally hoped that these five cabinet ministers would help him deal with Li Tao, but after hearing Li Chunfang's argument, his face turned gloomy: "I have been sick for half a year. If Li Tao doesn't pray for me to recover soon, then he will stop. Now that I am still slandering me for being exposed to wine, sex and wealth, how can I tolerate this unfaithful minister!"

An unfaithful minister?

Lin Qingran couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard the hat Longqing had put on Li Tao, but he knew that Longqing was not a wise ruler after all, and he didn't even have Jiajing's cunning and vision.

Although Li Tao's memorial was heartbreaking, the content was not entirely fabricated. In particular, the logic of "now the joy of Aoshan is that you must drink and indulge in the sound and color" is not very bad.

Longqing was anxious to punish Yu Li Tao this time, but it exposed the "deficiency of energy" that Li Tao accused of, and even confirmed that what Li Tao said was true.

Of course, this is also a common problem for emperors throughout the ages.

Although many emperors said they wanted Wei Zheng to advise ministers like Wei Zheng, when Wei Zheng really appeared, it was a copy of Ye Gong's good dragon, and he wanted to tear Wei Zheng and others apart.

"Emperor, Li Tao is my disciple, and I know very well about Li Tao. Li Tao's move was loyal to the emperor, so he took this risk and submitted a memorial and direct advice. Although the words in the memorial were inappropriate, I still asked the emperor to ask him to do so.

Can listen to Li Tao's advice and lust! I learned from the Imperial Doctor that the emperor has been ill for a long time and is trying to cure and calm down. However, the emperor has been in power recently, so the disease has been delayed in recovering! From this, Li Tao

It can also be said that he is unpleasant to speak out, so he asked the emperor to reflect on himself and punish Li Tao for his crimes lightly!" Li Chunfang bowed to Longqing, but chose to protect Li Tao.

Reflect on one's own?

Zhang Juzheng and others listened to Li Chunfang's attributes that maintained Li Tao and defined things like this. Seeing that Longqing and Li Chunfang had formed a confrontation, they couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly.
