The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

After retreating.Gao Gong didn't say anything.There was no expression of dissatisfaction.Instead, he walked up to Li Chunfang and greeted her.But that's all.Then Gao Gong left without looking back.For this matter.None of the officials said anything.Just treat it as an ordinary form of farewell.But it's for others.is a normal thing.Put it on Gao Gong.Can make him so devoid of grievances.It was really a very difficult thing.

After watching Gao Gong leave.Zhang Fan came to Zhang Juzheng's side.Made a gift.Said: "Teacher, now the matter is finally resolved satisfactorily."

"Yes." Zhang Juzheng also sighed.Said helplessly. "But this matter is only over now. What will happen later. Who can predict it."

Zhang Fan naturally understood what Zhang Ju was talking about.obviously.Now through the efforts of many people.Gao Gong's plan to impeach Xu Jie was finally shattered.And then Li Chunfang's official incident was involved.In the end, Gao Gong failed to succeed.Li Chunfang retired peacefully.Moreover, the position of the successor in the cabinet was not given to Gao Gong.Instead, let Zhang Fan find this person who is determined to make further progress in the last period of his official career.Moreover, Gao Yi, who has joined Zhang Fan's side, has already got it.This can be regarded as a big help for Zhang Fan.But Zhang Fan himself was not too persistent.He mainly wanted to help Zhang Juzheng find someone to help him.After all, there are already Gao Gong and Guo Pu in the cabinet.There are two people who basically don't ask questions.Even if Zhang Juzheng's power cannot overwhelm Gao Gong and others.At least it should be evenly matched.

But anyone can see it.Gao Gong did not comment on this today.This may be just his roaring at the court the day before yesterday.It caused Long Qing's dissatisfaction and said it was just a kind of worry.Regardless of who it is for.Add another person from your own side to the cabinet.No one would refuse such a thing.Although Gao Gong has not expressed any dissatisfaction yet.But that doesn't mean he'll just let it go.In the days to come.There must be times when he is in trouble.

Think here.Zhang Fan began to think again whether he should consider the preparations for future situations.only.Now Gao Gong has no action.Things that show no sign.I am afraid that no one can be fully prepared.It is the soldiers who come to block, and the water to cover.Still be prepared.There is no conclusion yet.

After retreating.Li Chunfang was still as usual.back home.It's as if nothing happened to him today.The only difference is.The servants of Li Chunfang's family found him after lunch today.No more going to nap like you used to.Instead, he just sat there.As if waiting for something.

Although Long Qing did not want Li Chunfang to become an official.So he can be regarded as procrastinating on this matter.But that could only be Long Qing delaying for some time.As long as his edict is issued.Those who carry out his orders never delay.

Li Chunfang sat on it for more than an hour.The application time has just passed.The eunuch delivering the decree has arrived.

Some pleasantries.When the decree was officially delivered.Li Chunfang knelt down respectfully.

This time, Long Qing issued the "Decree for the Return of College Student Li Chunfang".Even so.However, Li Chunfang could still hear Long Qing's helplessness and reluctance from the words of Long Qing's edict.Think here.Li Chunfang, who has been in officialdom for decades.Li Chunfang once thought that she was already immune to these avenues of imperial power and life ideals.I don't know what happened at this time.Suddenly seeing also gave birth to a feeling of reluctance on the psychological level.Don't want to leave.But that's how things are now.This was the result of his "begging for nothing" begging Long Qing to let him retire.Although Long Qing disagreed at the time.But I also thought he was soft and hard.Long Qing also agreed.

Now even the edict has come down.At this moment, Li Chunfang thought in her heart that it was too late to regret.But talk about it.It's not a good thing to say.It is always "until the Yellow River, the heart will never die. If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry."But for Li Chunfang at this time.He also knew that he couldn't.I don't want to stay in the big dye vat of the imperial court anymore.Wear a mask.He has been an official for decades in peace.It was only at this time that Li Chunfang felt that she was very tired.But now Li Chunfang is nearly sixty years old.Now is the time for Judi to enjoy his old age peacefully.

"Please tell me, please. Use Suiya's affection" can be regarded as an expression of Longqing's nostalgia for Li Chunfang.And Longqing also specially sent officials to escort him.It can be seen that Li Chunfang, who is usually unknown, has a status in Long Qing's mind. "There are eight people at the age of the division. Six stones are given to the official house every month."

Compare with the cabinet ministers of the Jiajing and Longqing dynasties.Li Chunfang's ending can be described as the best.

After giving thanks.Li Chunfang let out a sigh of relief.It is the relief of being finally unburdened.Still reluctant to give up decades of qualifications.I'm afraid he can't be sure in his own heart.

Zhang Fan returned home.Mentally I don't know how.It is also extremely melancholy.After much deliberation.He still decided to visit Li Chunfang's residence.

When Zhang Fan arrived at the door of Li Chunfang's house.Just in time, the little eunuch who delivered the decree just came out of the gate of Li Mansion.Li Chunfang also followed.

Li Chunfang needless to say.Then how could the little eunuch who came to pass the decree not know Zhang Fan, the big celebrity in front of Emperor Longqing.Naturally, there was another very eager conversation.

The eunuch who delivered the decree was sent away.Li Chunfang took Zhang Fan into his home.

sit down.Zhang Fan, who was about to speak just now, saw the bright yellow imperial edict stacked on the table beside him.Suddenly, I didn't know what to say.

Li Chunfang saw Zhang Fan's silence.He naturally understood what he was thinking in his heart.Can't help but smile.He said to Zhang Fan, "Why. Didn't Yuande come to celebrate for the old man?"

Hear what Li Chunfang said.Zhang Fan raised his head suspiciously.Some couldn't understand Li Chunfang's words.

Li Chunfang kept smiling.Continued: "Yuande doesn't have to put on an unhappy face. After all, this matter is really to be celebrated for the old man. The old man's life has been very smooth. Except when he was in the exam. The old man did not In addition to getting the first place. The subsequent Jinshi or palace examinations are all first. Although they failed to surpass the two sages Huang Guan and Shang Ren back then. But I also know that you were caught up by Yuande last year. But the old man did not It's a pity. If the future generations can't surpass the predecessors, wouldn't Ming be going backwards.

"The number one scholar is an official. Most of them can catch up to the position of a first-rank official smoothly. However, there are not many people who can enter the cabinet as a prime minister. This old man has done it. Although there is nothing to brag about. But The old man has no complacent thoughts in his heart.

"For so many years, the old man was in court because he was afraid of getting into trouble. Back then, Xia Yan fought with Yan Song. The old man just wanted to avoid disaster. He didn't say a single word; and when Yan Song fought with Xu Ge, old man. Old man Still afraid of getting into trouble. Still haven’t spoken. At that time, the old man always thought. But after Yan Song’s chaos passed, the court could be calmed down. Who knows. There was another fight with Gao Gong.

"From that time on, the old man has already begun to think about quitting. The ridiculous thing is that people's hearts are unpredictable. The old man still can't let go of the glory brought by the official uniform. After calculations, the decades of the old man in the court can be regarded as I didn’t make any achievements. I didn’t make any effort for the court. I didn’t say a word just to avoid disasters. At that time, I thought it was quite normal. But now the old man has let go of his worries and looked back. I feel that I am too selfish A little. At that time. Perhaps as long as the old man can stand up and say a word, maybe a few people can be saved from the catastrophe of ransacking their homes. But the old man didn’t. Now I think about it. I’m really ashamed. Psychologically, I always feel that I read it myself Books are considered to have entered the dog's belly.

"Until the day before yesterday. Gao Gong still didn't want to let go of Mr. Xu Ge, who had already retired. The old man felt that he couldn't just sit back and watch. It was ridiculous to say. It was the first time in his life to stand up and refute other people's words. The old man was nervous. It's very true. But I didn't expect it. As soon as I said this, I felt very comfortable in my heart.

"It's ridiculous. The old man found out too late. I'm afraid there will be no such opportunities in the future."

Zhang Fan calmly listened to Li Chunfang's narration.No interruptions.He understood very well.Li Chunfang's words were just a sense of comfort that suddenly erupted because he had suppressed it for too long.This is probably a great irony.Whenever just found a perfect one.Ways to make yourself feel good.But it was too late to find out.Never felt this way again.

"What are Master Li's plans after returning to his hometown?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I still remember the old man impeached by Gao Gong. They said I didn't know how to be filial." Li Chunfang said. "Actually, what Gao Gong said is true. My parents are still in good health. But because I refuse to leave home, I can't be filial. This time, after I return to my hometown, it is natural to be filial to my parents."

Zhang Fan and Li Chunfang talked for a long time.It was not until night that he refused Li Chunfang's request to stay.Leaving the Li Mansion.Thinking of Li Chunfang's words.Although Zhang Fan can't say that he has too many feelings.But it also made him deeply understand the difficulty of being an official in the court.for him.All this came too easily.I don't know the difficulties of others.

On the way home, Zhang Fan was still sighing.At this time, he didn't know that Yingyue was also troubled at this time.
