The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Feng Bao finished reading Empress Dowager Li's edict and handed it to Ge Shouli. The two of them behaved very calmly without any disturbances. Even when they were face to face, there was no conflict.

However, this kind of situation already made people feel rather weird, not to mention that the previous entanglements between the two of them had come to an end.

But now, it's not the time to care about these things. Almost all the people present except the two of them were confused by the Queen Mother Li's order, and they were not just confused, there was also this shock, wonder The opposite of the unreasonable and so on is among them.

"Feng Bao," Zhu Yijun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, lost his composure at first, and asked, "What do you mean?" Apparently, Zhu Yijun felt that Feng Bao should be behind this matter. Yes, but this time, he really guessed wrong, it can be said that this matter has nothing to do with Feng Bao.

Sure enough, it is absolutely impossible for Feng Bao to sit idly by when faced with things that are not his own fault. Even if he behaves differently now than in the past, he doesn't pay too much attention to many things, but he absolutely must Disregarding his relationship: "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't understand what His Majesty is talking about. This servant is just passing on an order. If what Your Majesty said is about Mr. Ge, to be honest, this servant didn't know anything before. , probably not even half an hour, before the queen mother asked the servants to pass the decree, the servants didn't know anything, and they never thought that these things would be written in the queen mother's decree. To tell the truth, the servants are also surprised now Really, I never thought that the Queen Mother would issue such an edict."

What Feng Bao said was not particularly contrived, and it doesn't matter whether you tell a lie or not on this kind of matter. Besides, if Feng Bao really did it, come here now. It is definitely not Feng Bao himself who delivered the decree. In order to avoid suspicion, it is absolutely impossible for him to deliver the decree.

In other words, Feng Baohui appeared here with Queen Mother Li's order, which in itself shows that he has nothing to do with this matter.

All of a sudden, everyone present, including Zhang Fan, began to think about it. If Feng Bao did not say this behind his back, then there is only one possibility. If this matter has nothing to do with Feng Bao, Then look for the simplest and most conspicuous reason, and now, the most simple and conspicuous reason is actually placed in front of everyone, and it is the person who issued this edict, the Empress Dowager Li.

Zhang Fan didn't know what other people thought about this matter, but what Zhang Fan was thinking in his heart made him feel that something was wrong. This situation was obviously discussed after discussion, although Zhang Fan did not see Queen Mother Li now. What it looked like, but seeing Ge Shouli's calm and breezy appearance, he didn't panic at all, as if he had already known about it.

However, Zhang Fan couldn't figure out when Ge Shouli told Queen Mother Li that he wanted to become an official. For so many days, Ge Shouli had not entered the palace to see Queen Mother Li, and Zhang Fan had not received Ge Shouli's message from the cabinet. The news of the memorial.

If this is the case, how did Ge Shouli and Empress Dowager Li reach such a consensus?

Suddenly, Zhang Fan thought of a possibility, that was the last time...

Speaking of which, how did Zhang Fan think of Ge Shouli's plan to become an official? In the final analysis, it was not because the last time he was in the court, because of Zhu Yijun's assassination, Empress Dowager Li refused to disclose any news, and Ge Shouli used his share Even though the Empress Dowager Li didn't tell Ge Shouli any important information in the end, Ge Shouli's action of going all out made Zhang Fan understand that he planned to retreat.

That is to say, from that time on, after Zhang Fan talked with Ge Shouli again, Zhang Fan began to pay attention. He not only sent people to inquire about the news in the palace and the cabinet, but even arranged for Ge Shouli. People are watching, but so far no news has come.

As for the fact that Ge's mansion was packing up this morning, I think it was because it was too sudden. Although Zhang Fan's subordinates received the news, they didn't have time to report it to Zhang Fan. There was no way to break in.

However, thinking of this, Zhang Fan suddenly felt that he was very stupid and naive. This kind of thing, especially the attitude between Ge Shouli and Queen Mother Li that morning, which could almost be described as tit for tat, was already very strange. He clearly told Zhang Fan of Ge Shouli's plan. Faced with such a situation, Ge Shouli naturally wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

Zhang Fan can see this situation. It is unreasonable for Empress Dowager Li to not understand it. Perhaps, since that day, Empress Dowager Li has been paying attention to Ge Shouli. If it is heard by Empress Dowager Li, maybe she will start, no, it is very likely that this edict has already been prepared, and as soon as there is news from here, Empress Dowager Li will send someone to come to issue the edict.

It should, no, it must be.

Suddenly, Zhang Fan felt a sense of pity, but also a sense of joy. The pity was naturally a pity for Ge Shouli, but it was also a pity that even if he abandoned what he had held on to for decades to ask Queen Mother Li about the reason for something, it was a pity. She still didn't get the answer, but fortunately, she finally chased it out and told Ge Shouli the answer. Although the meaning was a little different, Ge Shouli finally knew the answer. In this way, Zhang Fan felt at ease. Quite a lot.

"Then..." Zhu Yijun, who was sitting on it, didn't know this, he had deep doubts on his face, "The empress's edict now means..."

"That's right," Feng Bao nodded at Zhu Yijun, and said, "From now on, Ge Shouli will step down from his duties in the court, and he will decide when he will retire and return to his hometown. If Ge Shouli wants to live in the capital, Queen Mother Li will naturally welcome him." As far as that goes, if Ge Shouli wants to go back to his hometown to live in peace, it’s not a problem even if he leaves today.”

It turned out that this was the case, and it turned out that this was why Ge Shouli only requested to become an official this morning, but Ge's mansion had already started to pack things long before that.

"This...isn't it too fast?" Although Zhu Yijun no longer had the previous desire to delay Ge Shouli for a while, what Feng Bao said still made him feel very surprised "There is no such thing as the day when I became an official, so I packed up my things and left," Zhu Yijun didn't complete his words. What he wanted to say next was that this was not like being an official at all, but more like being expelled.

Speaking of which, Gao Gong, as the prime minister, was a scholar of the first minister of the cabinet, and was expelled from the court. It was really miserable. It was almost a matter that was settled that day, and Gao Gong was forced to leave immediately. Yes, although many people came to see him off, Gao Gong's lonely and desolate look before his departure still lingers in the hearts of many people.

In other words, Zhu Yijun didn't know this, he just knew that even Gao Gong, who was the chief minister of the cabinet, was expelled from the court, even if Gao Gong was in an important position at that time, he had a lot of work in his hands, and his appearance These are all very important things, but when Gao Gong was ordered to be expelled, he didn't have any reason to procrastinate and left almost immediately.

And this time...

"How can you say that Ge Aiqing is also the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate," Zhu Yijun said, "he has important duties, so I don't need to remind you, you all understand that such an important position, even if I now agree to Ge Aiqing's resignation , It doesn’t mean that you can leave immediately, you have to do something, such as the handover of duties, the choice of succession, etc. These, at least, will take four or five days.”

"Your Majesty," Ge Shouli said at this time, "Your Majesty naturally does not need to worry about these things. Although I am indeed a little eager to return these things, I will never dare to be sloppy about these things. In fact, before In a few days, I have already prepared all the things that His Majesty said, and I have sorted out all the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Professionals can do it too.

"As for the person who will take over the position of the minister, the minister has plans in mind, but the minister does not know, His Majesty may plan to let the minister nominate him."

"Naturally," Zhu Yijun nodded hastily and said, "It's always been like this when people in the court take over. It's always been like this. Who can Mr. Ge choose, but it doesn't matter. I can make the decision." In fact, Zhu Yijun's words meant that He is very courageous, but he is not sure. After all, this kind of thing actually depends on what Queen Mother Li plans.

So when he said these words, Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao who was standing below, but Feng Bao didn't say anything. In this way, Zhu Yijun understood that his mother also entrusted him with this matter. up.

Seeing this scene, the officials present also understood, and at the same time, they all sighed in their hearts. It seems that the matter between Empress Dowager Li and Ge Shouli is only the two of them, and there is no other people involved. Otherwise, such an important role as Zuodu Yushi would never be left to Zhu Yijun to decide.

"Recommended by my minister," Ge Shouli said, "The Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who will assist in the affairs of the court, Liu Sijie will take over the post of Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

In the face of Ge Shouli's natural recommendation, Zhu Yijun didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Zu Zuo,"
