Chapter 3 Return of the King (Part [-])
Mr. Gao Ge's return to Beijing this time gave many officials in Beijing the feeling that it was as if the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building, and it was like black clouds pressing down on the city to destroy it.Therefore, most of the officials in the capital, regardless of their previous performance, at least chose to come to greet them today. After all, politeness is never as bad as rudeness.

Perhaps because he heard the commotion of people in front of him, Gao Yushi quietly raised the corner of the car curtain and took a sneak peek. , there are a lot of red-robed officials here!" Regardless of Gao Gong's answer, he poked his head out of the car curtain and glanced, and added: "Oh, there are also a group of people in green robes and green robes."

Gao Gong sat still, just smiled slightly, and said: "Those who wear red robes are my colleagues and subordinates who are above the fourth rank; those who wear green robes are only eight or nine ranks, presumably they are the nobles of the Hanlin Academy." , and my subordinates when I was in the Imperial College; as for those wearing green robes, they are of the fifth, sixth, or seventh rank, and most of them are probably the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate... Hey! They also came to welcome me? Let's take a look at the direction of the wind, and don't think about the situation I was in more than a year ago, and it's all thanks to them!"

Gao Gong's words were not aimless. Thinking back to how miserable his situation was at the beginning, it could be said that he was betrayed and his reputation was ruined.But at that time, the trend of the Qi Kang case was completely out of control, and further entanglement with the rumors would not help the matter, it would only implicate more, and even the emperor who protected himself would suffer damage to his reputation.So Gao Gong had to go to the university for the last time, and he did not make any excuses for the various crimes he was accused of, but only claimed that he was seriously ill and asked to resign.

At that time, the emperor was very panicked after seeing the ignorance, and asked several times: "Is Mr. Gao really sick?" The people who served on the left and right replied: "Very sick." At the risk of going to visit in person, I had to say: "Please ask the imperial doctor to treat the husband." It was not enough to send the imperial doctor, and sent someone to reward him, hoping to comfort and retain Gao Gong.

But this time Gao Gong was determined not to suffer any more, and insisted on going.Only then did the emperor realize that it was irreversible, and he approved it in despair. He was in such a bad mood that day that he even avoided the harem—for His Majesty, who was nicknamed "Little Bee" by the outside world, this was a very sad expression.Gao Gong's mood at that time may have really felt "relieved". For this resignation, Gao Gong submitted as many as twelve resignations, which shows how stalemate the tug-of-war between Xu Gao and the two parties was.

Gao Wushi knew the tragic situation when Gao Gong left Beijing that day from the history books, so he had a rough guess about Gao Gong's mood when he returned to Beijing today, just like a child who was always looked down upon in his hometown when he was young, he always hopes that one day when he grows up The mentality of returning home and elated is similar.

In fact, Gao Gong left Beijing that day in a gloomy state, he was really in a state of desperation, almost all the old and new disciples dared not send him off because of fear.There was only one student named Wu Dui who sent him to the boat on the Lu River, weeping and saying goodbye.Moreover, after this incident reached Xu Jie's ears, Xu Jie still held a grudge against Wu Dui (historical records say: "deeply hated"), and frozen him in his original position for a long time without being promoted.In addition, Gao Gong passed through a certain county on his way. The magistrate knew that he had left the field because he offended Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the court, so he deliberately despised him. Literally stayed for two days.Left and right asked why, the official replied with a sneer: "This gentleman has offended the court. Is there any reason for me to be polite to him?"

The majestic emperor and cabinet minister, after suffering such a great grievance, was finally able to stage "The Return of the King" today. Gao Wushi felt that with Gao Gong's upright and fiery temper, he could still make up his mind and choose "doing things" in his heart. It's rare.However, this does not mean that he will not give some people some embarrassment today, but this is something that Gao Pragmatic thinks it is best not to do it.

Gao Wushi thought to himself: "Historical books say that Gao Gong has a bad temper, and he has never cared much about others' feelings when he speaks. I have turned on the mode of 'selling abductions' all the way. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, the ministers of the same palace should not be too rigid. But now, listening to his tone, shouldn’t he take the opportunity to exude a domineering aura and shake the prestige of the emperor? This is not a good thing My idea is that this aura is already frightening to death, so don't force this group of people who obviously want to wait and see to go directly to Liangshan."

But the trouble is that Gao Wushi is only a six or seven-year-old kid now, and many words are obviously worthless, so he can only influence Gao Gong from the sidelines, making him realize that it is not necessary to "give them a blow" and it is very likely that he will Bad things, so that I will not be able to "do things" in the future.After all, although Gao Gong has a bad temper, he has strong principles. If he is aware of this, I believe he will not mess around.

With this in mind, Gao Yushi didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly laughed: "Look at the direction of the wind, it means that they may be subdued! Isn't this the way you hoped, Sanbo, to have the opportunity to lead them into the right path? Let me see, after you get off the car, Sanbo, why don't you let them see what a prime minister's demeanor is - no matter what they did at the beginning, you don't care about them at all now! You know, these people may be very powerful on weekdays Now, what is it to you now? If you don’t care about them, others will only say that you are generous and noble. Who can be stupid enough to think that you can’t cure these people? But if you don’t care about them, Not only can it make them feel at ease and be grateful to you, but in the future when you do things, they will not jump out to make trouble; and you can also get a good name by the way, isn't it the best of both worlds, and everyone is happy?"

Gao Gong was slightly astonished, shook his head and laughed and scolded: "I am not a person who is greedy for fame!" As he spoke, he subconsciously stroked his iconic beard, and said proudly: "But you are right to think so, right now I am naturally I won't care about those old things with them. Hey, on the way, I heard this little eunuch named Chen Ju say that Hai Gangfeng did a great job in Yingtian. Xu Huating has a terrible headache for this impeccable Hai Qingtian , I think there is still singing in this big drama of Yingtianfu! At this time, I don't have time to fight with these people in front of me. To be practical, these people who talk about the way are talking and talking, that's a shame, but if you really want them If you want to do something, I'm afraid most of them can only get in the way. So, these people are like knives, they can hurt others, and they can hurt themselves. If one day, you are also an official in power, then Always remember: the knife is dangerous, it is only for you to hold it, and you have to make sure you hold it steady. Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "I probably understand a little bit."

"Well, it's good to know a little bit. I'll tell you about this matter later when I have time." Gao Gong nodded in satisfaction.

Without waiting for Gao Wushi to say anything else, Gao Gong's smile suddenly faded away, and the aura of uncle's love for his nephew suddenly disappeared, and the dignified and dignified air of ruling the world quickly returned to him.

It turned out that the carriage had stopped.

Soon, the eunuch Chen Ju's respectful voice came into the carriage: "Mr. Gao Ge, we are here! Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Zhang Ge, Mr. Chen Ge and the princes of all ministries have come to greet you in person. Look... "

"Understood." Gao Gong's tone was extremely calm, and after answering, he said to Gao Yushi: "Be pragmatic, accompany me down to meet these princes who control the power of the world."

"Yes, Uncle San." Gao Wushi said, but his heart suddenly felt like something was wrong.It's not because of stage fright, afraid of meeting so many court ministers, but because Gao Gong's return to Beijing this time has such a big impact, but now there is one less Zhao Zhenji among the four cabinet scholars, what does this mean?
It is said that Zhao Zhenji is from Xu Jie. If he is not coming now, does it mean that the Xu party still has strong hostility towards Gao Gong?If this is the case, I am afraid that Sanbo may not be able to do things with peace of mind after returning to the cabinet.Is it possible that the mutual strife before will continue?But...Zhang Juzheng is supposed to be Xu Dang, why didn't he advance and retreat with Zhao Zhenji?
