Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 161 Walking in the Inner Court (Part [-])
Gao Wushi also showed a smile, bowed and said: "His Royal Highness is so encouraging, I should work hard to make progress. If I can't be named on the gold list in the future, wouldn't I be worthy of the kindness of the emperor, the prince and the noble concubine?"

"Okay!" Zhu Yijun was overjoyed, stood up and said: "When you become a Jinshi in the future, I will definitely ask Father to use you again."

Long Qing saw his son's excited appearance over there, and also showed a happy smile. He felt that he had expended so much effort, and it was not in vain. , That is really a rare story of a monarch and his ministers in a thousand years.

Thinking of this, I felt a little excited in my heart, and immediately said loudly: "Okay, Gao Aiqing, you have to remember what the prince said, and I won't take it as a joke. As long as your name is on the gold list in the future, I will use it!"

Gao Yushi, who is used to beating snakes and sticks, will naturally not miss this opportunity, and immediately knelt down to thank: "I thank your majesty for your kindness, and thank you for your appreciation."

At this time, Meng Chong rushed in and shouted from a distance: "Grandpa Long Live, the news from the cabinet is here!"

Long Qing was startled, and subconsciously asked, "What news?"

Meng Chong hastily saluted, and replied: "It's about your majesty's new appointment of the prince's companion, and the appointment of Gao Yushi as the prince's companion, and the false bachelor's decree. The cabinet has just discussed urgently. The elders have their own opinions..."

"Who agrees in the end, and who opposes?" Long Qing urged immediately, "Stop talking nonsense, tell me the result!"

Meng Chong probably trotted all the way back, wiped off his sweat, shook his sleeves and said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen agreed, while Mr. Gao and Mr. Zhao objected."

"Phew..." Long Qing breathed out a foul breath, and said, "Mr. Gao's objection is just unavoidable, and the other three elders agree."

Gao Yushi keenly discovered that Long Qing had directly ignored Zhao Zhenji in this sentence.

Why is that?He had expected that Zhao Zhenji would object?

But why does he feel that way?Because he felt that as long as it was beneficial to Gao Gong, Zhao Zhenji would definitely oppose it?

If this is the case, does it mean that Long Qing's impression of Zhao Zhenji is not good at the moment?
Generally speaking, the high-practical thinking is not a big problem, but there are actually more direct reasons for Long Qing's judgment.

In Longqing's view, this matter is clearly beneficial to Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng has always been Gao Gong's ally in his mind, so Zhang Juzheng will definitely agree; Chen Yiqin is a neutral, but his character is upright, and his son Chen Yu Bi was just now one of the lecturers who participated in the selection of articles by the children of various families. It is impossible for Chen Yiqin to not understand the level of his son, so this proves that the high practical knowledge should indeed be the best among these children, so he will do this It is natural for the crown prince to accompany him, and Chen Yiqin will naturally agree; Li Chunfang's attitude is actually what Long Qing cares about the most, because he is both the chief assistant and the number one scholar, so he has a great say in such matters. If he clearly expresses his disapproval, This matter is more difficult to handle, but Long Qing feels that considering Li Chunfang's character, it is really unlikely that he will object.

The result of the final cabinet did not exceed Long Qing's expectations, three votes to two votes, especially one of the three votes came from the chief assistant.

So this central purpose was passed, and the cabinet did not refute it.

Long Qing really breathed a sigh of relief, you know, if the cabinet really sealed this decree back, he really didn't dare to force it.

Of course he has the ability to be tough, but then the cabinet ministers who disagreed must be dismissed, and the impact would be too great-in order to appoint a low-ranking official, he actually dismissed the cabinet ministers, as long as the news If it gets out, the outer court will immediately fry the pot!

What's the matter, is this Gao Yushi not Gao Gong's nephew, but the illegitimate son of your Emperor?In the mind of your emperor, is the status even more important than the cabinet ministers?I'm afraid you don't care about Sheji in this world at all, do you?

Therefore, Long Qing, who heard Meng Chong's words clearly, really felt that a big stone had fallen from his heart.

As for Zhao Zhenji... In fact, Long Qing used Zhao Zhenji in the first place for the purpose of dividing the forces of Xu Jie's remaining party. Now Xu Jie's remaining party has indeed been divided and absorbed. Zhang Juzheng persuaded Gao Gong to tide over the difficulties, so Zhao Zhenji's role at the moment is not great.

But having said that, Zhao Zhenji has been in the cabinet for less than half a year, and he was single-handedly brought him into the cabinet. If he just got into trouble with Gao Gong, it would be a bit inappropriate to drive him away, so Long Qing Going to take another look.

As for the conflict between Zhao Zhenji and Gao Gong, Long Qing actually knew a little more than Gao Yushi.

In the second half of last year, Alta Khan invaded Shanxi, and Zhao Ke, the commander-in-chief of Datong, failed to rescue him. However, Chen Qixue, the governor of Xuanda at the time, because Zhao Ke's actions were actually following his orders, so he succeeded instead, saying that Alda retreated on his own. He was driven away, but was impeached by Yushi Yanruhuan.

Zhao Zhenji's temper is not as slippery and treacherous as portrayed in a famous historical drama. In fact, his personality has always been upright, even a little arrogant. Hearing this news, he wanted to punish Chen Qixue, Zhao Ke and others severely.

However, Huo Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, believed that heavy punishment should not be imposed. He believed that Chen Qixue and Zhao Ke had no serious problems in this matter, because the reason why Chen, Zhao and others did not rescue in time was indeed because they were worried that the imperial tomb would be invaded, so they only discussed demote.

Zhao Zhenji was furious because of this, and said: "The frontier commander has lost the law, and the ancestors have the law. Now the person involved bends the law to favor others, what is the public opinion? The minister is old, and he has no skills in loyalty. Please beg for it."

As soon as he took office, he begged for his return. Of course, the emperor didn't allow it. Instead, he added the prince and Taibao.

Recently, Zhao Zhenji used the forbidden army of the previous dynasty to form three battalions, and each battalion had a commander. Today, one person is in charge of the three battalions, and the weight is difficult to control.Therefore, it is extremely harmful, please divide into five battalions, each with a general, and restore the old days of the ancestors.The emperor felt that there seemed to be some truth, so he ordered the Ministry of War to discuss it with his courtiers.

Unexpectedly, Huo Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, disagreed with Zhao Zhenji's views because of the last incident, and he was quite disapproving. He said that the first thing to strengthen the army is to choose generals, not reform, and give examples of Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang and others.So Huo Ji and others went up and said that the three camps should remain the same.However, one person is the governor, and the power is too heavy. It is advisable to have a general in each of the three battalions, and the governor should be dismissed, and the civil servants should be the prime ministers.The emperor thought it made sense, so he did it temporarily.

In this way, the matter is very clear: Huo Ji and Chen Qixue's political stance is in favor of Gao Gong, and Zhao Ke is even more Gao Gong, "the little running dog Zhao under the door". As soon as you Zhao Zhenji comes to power, you will get Gao Gong Someone cuts the knife, but why did I, Huo, offend you, and you cut it on the head of my military department the first time?Am I that easy to bully?

As a result, Gao Gong didn't have any clear reaction, but Huo Ji went up against Zhao Zhenji first.
