The announcement of the Wenhua Hall on the afternoon of July in the sixth year of Longqing must be a major event worthy of being recorded in the history books. Because it not only represents the downfall of a celebrant and a cabinet minister, but also the emergence of a new system of power.

From the perspective of the outer court, it seems that there is just one less auxiliary minister at the bottom of the ranking, but the auxiliary and secondary auxiliary are both, especially because Gao Gong himself is an energetic workaholic, so the imperial court can still run in an orderly manner and will not be seriously affected.

But from the perspective of the inner court, the situation is very different, and it is very worth dating.

First of all, the power system on the surface of the inner court changed again, and it can be seen from the candidates who announced that after Feng Bao's sudden downfall, Chen Hong, as the celebrant Xi Bingbi, took over the post of the celebrant supervisor in order Huang Mengyu, the governor of the East Factory, is finally "normal", and Zhang Hong, who became Xi Bingbi, did not appear on the agenda of this summons, in fact, there was no accident, the reason why he did not appear was because he was sent to raid Feng Bao's house, and he also rose a rank in order, and took over the imperial eunuch and other inner court yamen Chen Ju seems to have not changed. It's just that he has moved up a rank, but it can be seen from the fact that he is standing next to the emperor that he has become the new "big companion".

The above is just a change on the surface, and the internal change also has Huang Mengyu clearly standing by the side of Empress Chen, which means that he appears as the representative of Empress Chen in the inner court, that is to say, Empress Chen abandoned the original intention of being a "transparent person" in history, and began to really walk to the front of the stage in accordance with the saying of "two palaces and respect" of the high arch, and influence the government as the "queen mother"!

Li Guifei, who lost her hardcore confidant Feng Bao, not only lost a lot of face in this incident, but also had no one available at hand for a while, so she had to take Chen Hong under her command, but because Chen Hong served as the master of ceremonies, Li Guifei's influence on the government was still not too inferior.

The biggest "benefit" that the little emperor Zhu Yijun got was to cut off the eyes of his mother concubine beside him, although he still didn't have a part in government affairs, but at least he could live a less depressing life.

Gao Pragmatism is very concerned about this point, because Gao Pragmatism has always believed that the reason why Emperor Wanli in history seemed to have otaku autism in the later period, and he would rather die than meet the courtiers, in addition to those reasons that everyone knows, it is very likely that his mental depression before the government caused psychological distortion.

It is true that Wanli did not go to the court and handled political affairs well, and won the complete victory of Wanli's three major campaigns, but the serious confrontation between monarchs and ministers and mutual internal friction still greatly depleted the vitality of the Ming Dynasty and accumulated grievances from all sides. If Wanli hadn't had the psychological shadow of his childhood, wouldn't the situation be better?

No one can guarantee it, not Gao Pragmatism, but he thinks it's at least worth a try.

These are "internal", but there are actually more "internal", or in other words, the deepest hidden changes.

That is the influence of high pragmatism.

No matter what kind of mentality Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju had in order to get on the thief ship of Gao Pragmatic, at least after this incident, the two of them have been completely convinced by Gao Pragmatic's methods, and they know more inside stories that others don't know.

For example, Empress Chen seems to be fair, but in fact, everything is done according to the high and pragmatic points, and it may be a little disrespectful to call her a marionette, but I am afraid that this is indeed the case.

For example, the little emperor Zhu Yijun, in his eyes, the closest person is neither the queen mother, the mother concubine, nor the eldest companion Feng Bao or the new companion Chen Ju, but his companion Gao Pragmatic!

The influence of high pragmatism on Zhu Yijun is almost all-round!

But it's strange to think about it, Zhu Yijun is the same age as Gao Pragmatic, and they are together every day, discussing history, and watching politics, the people Zhu Yijun sees the most in his life, except for the little eunuchs around him, only Gao Pragmatic is left, and the little eunuchs are just his house slaves, how can there be any common language with him?

The only one who can have a common language with him is Gao Pragmatism! In other words, in Zhu Yijun's heart, Gao Pragmatic is not only his companion, but also a classmate and friend! Zhu Yijun is not only with him, discussing history and politics, but also often relying on high pragmatism to cover him in front of Li Guifei, what is the nature of this? This is a comrade-in-arms, it's no different to carry a gun together!

Together through the window, together with the gun, together oh forget the rest of this, it is estimated that there is no play.

Anyway, in a word, even if Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju are eunuchs, they don't dare to compare their status in the eyes of the little emperor with Gao Pragmatic.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatism's influence in the inner court can almost be said to have reached its peak, if it weren't for Li Guifei and catching a Chen Hong in his hand, Gao Pragmatism can even be said to be equivalent to an "internal minister" now!

Of course, only those who are in it will know about these situations, and those who have not entered the circle of the inner court have no way of knowing at all, just like when the civil officials of the outer court learned that Zhang Juzheng was dismissed from the Feng Bao case, they all focused on the matter of "Gu Ming's auxiliary ministers were dismissed", rather than the deep-seated changes in the inner court.

Although the friends were stunned, someone still stood up to speak for Zhang Juzheng.

Listed is the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Ge Shouli, a hardcore high-ranking party, since he is a hardcore high-ranking party, of course, he is not for the rescue of Zhang Juzheng, but for the "national system".

He stood out solemnly, bowed his hand, and said loudly, "The ministers of the left capital are all royal Shi Ge Shou Li, and there is a performance." ”

Although Zhu Yijun has participated in a large ceremony, he is all a marionette, acting and speaking according to the arrangements of the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, in fact, he has never officially answered with the ministers!

So after Ge Shouli, a righteous and thin old man, stood up and said this, Zhu Yijun was a little flustered, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to subconsciously glance at the two palaces.

But how could the two houses talk back? In fact, the appearance of the two houses here today is already a bit out of place!

You must know that their most accurate identity now is the widow of Emperor Daxing, who has not even removed filial piety, which means that they are not the queen mother and concubine!

Theoretically, they are now not allowed to meet with the courtiers. Zhu Yijun doesn't know, they know! They came here today, just to "sit" here, so as not to make too much movement for the emperor and be frightened by the courtiers.

But that's the end of it, it's not okay to help the emperor answer the courtiers, before the queen mother's honorific title, they can't actually speak on behalf of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, just let him say it."

At the critical moment, Gao Shishi, who was still standing beside the emperor, quietly reminded him.

Zhu Yijun seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said, "You say." ”

Ge Shouli was not polite, and said loudly, "Thank you, Emperor." The minister wants to ask first, is the evidence found by Dongchang and Jinyiwei enough to confirm that the auxiliary minister Zhang Juzheng is involved in the case? ”

Zhu Yijun glanced to the side, Gao pragmatic nodded gently, and Zhu Yijun immediately said loudly, "That's natural!" ”

Ge Shouli seemed to guess this answer, and said, "Zhang Juzheng was an old minister of the Emperor's Qiandi, and now he is an auxiliary minister who cares about his life, and he is deeply favored by three generations of emperors, and he should be loyal to serve him. However, Zhang Juzheng is not only an assistant minister, but his case also involves bribery, and should be investigated and interrogated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department. ”

Zhu Yijun glanced at the two palaces first, and saw that the two palaces frowned deeply, especially his mother, who was even more implicitly angry, so frightened that he quickly took his gaze back, and hurriedly looked at Gao Shi on his side.

Gao Shishi's face was expressionless, and his lips moved slightly, "Insulting the heavenly family, I have my own judgment, and I don't need to ask the law department." ”

Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly, "The general constitution doesn't know, that Zhang Juzheng is insulting the heavenly family, I have my own judgment on this matter, and I don't need to ask the law department!" ”

Ge Shouli was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced up at the emperor, and secretly said in his heart, Your Majesty is so wise and decisive?

But no matter how young the emperor is, he is also the emperor, he said that "he has his own judgment", Ge Shouli has no way, not to mention that Zhang Juzheng's crime is still "insulting the heavenly family", this crime Ge Shouli does not want to interfere, so he has to bow his hand. ”
