() The old man didn't seem to care about the middle-aged man behind him, nor did he take him seriously. He gently took the carp off the hook and slowly put it into the fish basket beside him.It wasn't until he threw the hook out again that the old man turned his head to look at the middle-aged man behind him, and said calmly, "Is there any news from the capital?"

"Back to the teacher, not yet. The emperor suppressed the matter in the early court last time. I don't know what will happen this time! But with our current power, the teacher is planning a strategy again. I believe there will be no problems." The middle-aged man Looking at the old man respectfully, his eyes were full of awe, and his speech was also unusually respectful.

As if he didn't hear the flattery in the middle-aged man's words, the old man just nodded noncommittally, and said flatly: "This matter happened in a hurry. After all, no one thought of the death of the late emperor. The old man is not in the capital. It's a bit late for the news to come here, but the arrangement in just a few months, I think it can't be hidden from those people."

"Even if you can't hide it, it's okay. He knows that he has to retire. That position belongs to the teacher." The middle-aged man was full of confidence and didn't care at all, and said with a smile.

The old man nodded noncommittally, and did not speak, but set his eyes on the water again, as if wondering if the next one would be a big fish?

In the morning three days later, in the western suburbs of the capital.

At this time, the broad street can be described as a sea of ​​people. Countless officials' entourages, countless scholars and gentry all gathered here.These people have only one purpose, and that is to see off Fang Congzhe when he was a cabinet university student, this old man who is still a holy family even though he has retired from office.

Standing at the front of this group of people was an old eunuch, no one here dared to underestimate this eunuch, even those so-called clean gossip officers, because this was Chen Hong and Eunuch Chen who was beside Emperor Tianqi.What people dare not underestimate is that this father-in-law came on behalf of Emperor Tianqi, and sent Fang Congzhe off on behalf of the emperor.

"Fang Taibao, our family is here to send you off according to His Majesty's order, and the things in the carriage over there are given to you by His Majesty." Chen Hong pointed to a carriage not far away, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty once told our family to bring His Majesty to offer Fang Taibao a glass of wine and give Fang Taibao a word."

Taking a jug of wine next to him, Chen Hong poured a glass slowly and brought it to Fang Congzhe.

Looking at this glass of water and wine, Fang Congzhe felt a lot of emotion in his heart. The trace of grievance has long since vanished, and he really has no regrets in his life to be an official.Kneeling slowly on the ground, he gently took the glass of wine and drank it down.

"I'll give this pot of wine to Fang Taibao. His Majesty specially left it for you at dinner last night. Your Majesty took it to drink on the way! In addition, Your Majesty asked our family to tell Fang Taibao, don't worry about ignorance in the future, no one in the world I don’t know you.” When Chen Hong said these words, Fang Congzhe was already in tears.

"It is the honor of this old minister for three lifetimes to meet His Majesty in my lifetime. I wish Your Majesty a long life and a prosperous Ming Dynasty. Long live my emperor."

Fang Congzhe left, perhaps a little regretful, but more pleased and grateful.At this time, there was no hesitation in his heart, no regrets, he knew that Daming had such an emperor, even if he died, he would have no regrets.

Following Fang Congzhe's departure, there was an uproar in the city of Beijing. Whether it was the scholar-official circles or the common people, they all praised Tianqi Emperor di duo unanimously.Everyone is also pinning their hopes on this young emperor, hoping that he can work harder and rejuvenate Daming.

The second day after Fang Congzhe left was the morning court, and all the ministers were beaming at this time.Fang Congzhe's treatment made these people see hope, so everyone's face was filled with longing smiles.

Every official has his own little plan in his heart. At this time, the Donglin party members were extremely excited. Fang Congzhe left, and they were bound to win the vacant cabinet bachelor.

"The emperor is here." With the shout of the eunuch, all the officials knelt down and saluted, everything was the same as usual, without any difference.

"My dear friends, Fang Aiqing's departure makes me very sad. The departure of such a veteran of the three dynasties is a loss to Ming Dynasty." Emperor Tianqi's voice was very deep, and after a little pondering, Emperor Tianqi continued: " The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the cabinet cannot be without a head and assistant university scholars for a day. Today, all the lovers will choose one!"

Sure enough, it did not exceed the expectations of the ministers. Emperor Tianqi raised this matter as soon as he came to the court. Although the ministers did not speak, they kept exchanging glances.

"I have a candidate." Sun Shenxing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't wait at this time. It was time to pick the fruit of victory, and he absolutely could not allow others to pick this fruit away.And he believed that there was no one in this court who dared to speak against the Donglin Party.

"Since Aiqing is selected, let's talk about it!" Emperor Tianqi seemed very happy that Sun Shenxing could stand up, and said with a smile.

"Ye Xianggao, a former cabinet scholar, is honest and honest, has great talent, and has experience in running the cabinet. He is the best candidate." Sun Shenxing smiled slightly and recommended the candidate in his heart.

This Ye Xianggao was a Shoufu University scholar in the last years of Wanli, and later retired because he was unable to mediate and resist the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties.But he has another identity, that is, the leader of the Donglin Party at this time, or the leader of the party.If he came back to take charge of the cabinet, the entire imperial court would really fall into the hands of the Donglin Party.

"Minister, reconsider."

"Minister, reconsider."

As soon as Sun Shenxing's words fell to the ground, the Donglin Party members quickly stood up and agreed with his words. As long as Ye Xianggao came back, what they did this time would not be in vain.

Looking at the ministers kneeling below, Emperor Tianqi smiled slightly, but did not speak. At this moment, a person stood out again in the hall.

"The minister has his own play." Hearing this man's words, all the ministers focused their eyes on him, but this man did not change his face and stood there as before. This man is the Zuodu Yushi Yang He.

The appearance of this person surprised everyone. This inspector censor Yang He was one of the few people in the court who did not form a party.Because of his clean government, ability to handle affairs and never participating in party struggles, no one cares about him.Unexpectedly, at this time, the Zuodu Yushi suddenly stood up.Seeing Yang He, the anger on Sun Shenxing's face flashed away. He didn't expect that this person who usually didn't care about him would stand up at this time.

"Yang Aiqing, just tell me if you have anything to say!" Emperor Tianqi smiled slightly and said calmly.

There was a power outage at home today, and I haven't come here until now. I ran half a city to find a network with electricity!I coded a chapter and uploaded it. If there is a call at night, I will upload it again. Thank you everyone.

I just took a look at the book review area. I consider myself a very hardworking author, but there are still many shortcomings.A reader said that I don’t know the history of the Ming Dynasty, but dare to write novels about the Ming Dynasty. What I want to say is that if I know the history of the Ming Dynasty, then I will write the history of the Ming Dynasty.Everyone reads this kind of novel because it is different from history. If it is the same, then read history, okay?

I want to say that I am just a newcomer author, and I am immature in many places. I hope that everyone can give me more opinions.I am not conceited that everyone likes my book, even if I am a master, I probably can't do it.

So those book friends who can't stand it, please leave quietly.I thank you, really, those book friends who support me, I also thank you.Thank you I love Shaojia book friends and Dang Han book friends for their rewards.
