Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 419
The emperor woke up, and he was able to hold Yuanfu and talk for a long time. This was the curative effect of several imperial doctors in the imperial hospital who were busy working for a long time.

In fact, the imperial physicians also discussed with each other for a long time before they were convinced that the emperor's life would not be in danger and allowed the emperor to talk to the three elders, but they did not expect that the emperor would talk endlessly with Gao Gong. They were not happy, and insisted that the emperor and Yuanfu talked for too long, and if this continued, it would definitely affect the emperor's condition.So under the reminder of the imperial physician and eunuchs, Gao Gong and the other three assistant ministers left.

Zhang Juzheng's Zhang Dashi's mansion was alone on one side, and Gao Gong and Guo Pu went on a different path, so they left the palace gate first, leaving Gao and Guo to accompany them.

Gao Gong had been preoccupied since he bid farewell to the emperor in the palace, he was in a daze all the way, even Zhang Juzheng just turned his head when he said goodbye to him, nodded indifferently, and didn't even say a polite word.

When Zhang Juzheng's green nun's sedan chair went away, Guo Pu finally couldn't help asking: "Suqing, why are you so lost? What did the emperor say to you just now?"

Gao Gong's eyes finally got focus, he glanced at Guo Pu, sighed before he could speak, and then said: "Brother Zhifu, it's getting late today, the city gate has already been locked, you can't go back Seeing Xin Zhai, let's go to my house for a night, just happen to have some things we need to discuss."

Guo Pu's heart sank, he took a deep look at him, nodded, forced a smile again, and said: "It seems that the matter is very unexpected, and it is not small."

Gao Gong smiled wryly, but didn't say anything more.

There was no words all the way, two big green sedan chairs stopped at the gate of the high-arched university scholar's mansion, and the first and second assistants of the court came in hand in hand.

Because Gao Gong hadn't returned, the stewards of the mansion didn't dare to sleep in the middle of the night. Now that Yuan Fu came back, he quickly woke up a few servants to come and serve him.

Being able to work in the prime minister's mansion naturally gave him some winks. The steward saw that Mr. Guo Ge had also come, and knew that the two elders would have important matters to discuss tonight, so he ordered his servants to make refreshment tea while Quietly send someone to inform Madam and Eldest Young Master.

Informing the wife is telling the wife that the master probably won't sleep tonight; telling the young master is simply telling the young master, because the young master has made this explanation when he came today.

Gao Wushi doesn't live here in Gaogong these days, but lives with Guo Pu in Jianxinzhai outside the northwest of the capital. After all, he not only has the job of serving as a student, but also has to take care of his own studies.Jianxinzhai is located outside the northwest corner of the capital, not too far from the capital, but after all, you have to get up early every morning to catch up with time.

The situation is different today, the emperor passed out in the Wenhua Palace, because the Wenhua Palace was originally the place where the prince studied and observed politics, so Gao Pragmatic was one of the first people to get the news.

He was worried about any accidents, so he didn't dare to go out of the city to see Xin Zhai, so he went straight to the Gaogong mansion after he came out of the palace, and told the steward of the mansion that as soon as Sanbo came back or sent a message, he must be notified as soon as possible .

This is actually a routine operation. After all, the emperor fell into a coma again, and the situation was obviously more serious than last time. However, all the ministers with a little political awareness probably will not be able to sleep well tonight, and Gao Yushi is definitely not the only one.

To put it bluntly, Gao Yushi is probably the lowest among these insomniacs—of course, this lowest only refers to serious official positions.

Gao Gong and Guo Pu did not intend to go to bed separately, but went to Gao Gong's study together.

After the two elders sat down, Gao Gong asked the steward to send all the servants away, and the two began to talk.

Gao Gong didn't beat around the bush, and directly conveyed the emperor's meaning to Guo Pu, and then sighed: "Actually, the idea of ​​the emperor coincides with my earlier idea, but... earlier, I didn't I know Zhang Taiyue is such a person."

Guo Pu also felt a little embarrassed, frowned and said: "The emperor personally negotiated peace, which is a bit tricky."

"Who says it's not?" Gao Gong patted the table with some annoyance, and said, "Zhang Taiyue's ability is not bad, even if he is a little impatient and aggressive, it's not a big problem, as long as I keep pressing him for the next few years." So, firstly, he can't break big things, and secondly, he can also polish the edges and corners, and when I beg for bones in the future, he should have experienced it."

Guo Pu said: "When I returned to Beijing to recover, I was originally just helping you, so that Zhang Taiyue would not have any thoughts that he shouldn't have. If he is willing to behave, it will be the best for the court and himself. It's a pity, I didn't know until I came here that he had made too many mistakes, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."

Gao Gong sighed, showing a little disappointment, and said slowly: "Two faces and three swords, one thing in person, one thing behind the other. Many people were promoted by me because of their practical ability, but Zhang Taiyue always wrote letters to others in private. , Said that he said good things for them here, such as Yin Zhengmao this time, if it weren't for... I was almost kept in the dark."

Hearing this, Guo Pu asked curiously: "What's going on with Yin Zhengmao? He didn't write a letter to thank you for using him when he took office. Why did he write a letter suddenly after Wei Yinbao was put down?" Come here, and let me tell you about Zhang Taiyue's bragging about his 'recommendation achievements'?"

Gao Gong smiled wryly: "It's a bit of a coincidence, do you remember Li Tingzhu?"

"Li Jundai, Marquis of Linhuai (Character Li Tingzhu)? I remember, after Xu Pengju's accident, he became an honorable minister of Nanjing's defense." Guo Pu replied.

Gao Gong said: "Li Tingzhu's eldest grandson, Li Zongcheng, has a good relationship with Pragmatism. After Li Tingzhu became a Nanjing garrison minister, according to regulations, he was Yin Zhengmao's official supervisor (Note: The five military governors' office in Beijing is theoretically in charge of the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi.) , I don’t know what’s going on, he and Yin Zhengmao passed a letter, and the letter mentioned that Yin Zhengmao’s transfer was my insistence on the decision, so Yin Zhengmao knew the inside story.”

"Oh..." Guo Pu thought for a while, and said, "I don't think this is a coincidence, I'm afraid it's your good nephew's handwriting."

Gao Gong smiled, and replied noncommittally: "Maybe, this kid is doing something, in case others don't know."

"It's always for your own good, so be content." Guo Pu laughed, and after a few laughs, his face sank again, and said, "It's all right for Zhang Taiyue to do these two-faced things, but what about corruption and bribery? You know that his University Scholars’ Office is not in the right place. You also know about Xu Huating’s sum of money back then, not to mention that he was in charge of the Ministry of War. The benefits he received were not only donated by Qi Jiguang’s family. Those things...you run the Ministry of Officials, don't you always hate these things?"

Gao Gong sighed: "I not only hate it, but also regret it! But brother Zhifu, you have seen the current situation of the emperor today, it is already like this, and he even took my hand and asked me to let Zhang Taiyue go, and wanted to let Zhang Taiyue go. He will continue to assist the crown prince in the future, tell me, I am a minister, what should I do? Throw me a mouse."

Guo Pu opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "According to what you mean, are you going to endure it? Even, including the matter of Wang Wenhui this time?"

Gao Gong said: "Wang Wenhui's matter is just a tentative move by Zhang Taiyue. I have transferred Wang Wenhui outside. Presumably Zhang Taiyue is also waiting for my successor. I will press the matter now and stop worrying about it. Let's see if he will." Stop it."

Guo Pu originally wanted to say, "It's inevitable to show weakness, I'm afraid Zhang Taiyue will get lucky." Unexpectedly, a high-practical voice sounded outside the door: "San Bo, Mr. Zhang Ge will not stop here."
