On April 24, the government and the opposition speculated that Emperor Longqing officially issued the will of the old man of Xu Ge.

and gave platinum banknotes, ordered to take official ships, sent pedestrians, brocade guards to escort them back to their hometowns, and so on......

There are also a lot of preferential treatment that should be given to the old man.

But people inevitably want to compare the treatment given by the emperor when he was high. It turned out that the two dynasties were far inferior to the retirement treatment of a cabinet member.

The emperor's intimacy was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

But Longqing has something to say.

~~

The next day, when His Majesty Xu Ge resigned, Emperor Longqing explained apologetically: "The internal treasury and Taicang have been exhausted, and the officials have been in arrears for two months, so it is really not appropriate to reward too much at this time." After the summer tax is released into Taicang, there will be another reward. ”

"Your Majesty said this, and the old minister was ashamed." Xu Ge Lao did not wear his first-class python robe today, nor did he wear a unique folded horn hat.

He wore a green cloth robe, stepped on cloth shoes, and only wore a soap-striped soft towel on his head, and there was no trace of the prime minister's style on his body, and he became an old man in the south who read poetry and books.

The old man sighed and said, "It's the old minister's failure to be a good housekeeper that makes His Majesty always overstretched." ”

"Old Ge is serious." Xu is finally realized that this old man would no longer bother himself, and Emperor Longqing felt that the separation between the two was gone, and said emotionally: "You are due to Sheji, I am really reluctant to be old." ”

But I wanted Master Gao even more, so I had to do this multiple-choice question.

"The so-called generation of talents comes out, and a new generation replaces the old. The old minister, it's time to change the young man to continue to assist the emperor. Xu Jie smiled and said a cliché, and naturally brought out what he wanted to say:

"It's just that when I am leaving, there are a few things that I can't rest assured."

"Yuanfu, please speak, I will definitely agree if I can do it." Long Qing's heart was full of sorrow, and in front of him was the good past of Xu Ge.

"First, after the old minister leaves, the situation in the court is bound to change drastically. In addition, 'it is easy to be in charge of the house if you have money, but it is difficult to be a man if you have no money', and the first assistant who took over will not be able to open up the situation, and I am afraid that he will take the old people in the DPRK and China. I only listened to Xu Ge's bitter words: "At this time, Your Majesty must have his own judgment, who should be used and who should be deposed, all from above, and cannot give full authority to the hands of his courtiers." ”

"I wrote it down." Long Qing nodded, with a serious face.

"Second, please don't be prejudiced against your words." Elder Xu Ge said earnestly:

"It is true that there are people who sell their reputation and have bad intentions, but the vast majority of them are the most honest, the most Gengjie, and the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Lao Chen's words are not selfish, because Lao Chen doesn't like Yanguan either, who wants to coax a group of two hundred and five to play all day long? ”

"Oh?" Emperor Longqing's eyes widened, he still thought that Yanguan was Xu Ge's father.

"But Your Majesty, don't forget, why did Emperor Taizu set up six departments in addition to the Imperial History Tower?" I heard Xu Jie's deep voice: "Because they are used to help His Majesty take care of the family." ”

"The more annoying the six departments, the more the six cabinet ministries and the governors of the provinces dare not mess around. Wise, but Your Majesty, you naturally understand whether it is the chaos of the six departments that is more harmful, or the harm of the six departments that are chaotic, right? ”

"Hmm......" Emperor Longqing heard it in his heart.

"So as long as there are six subjects, the Ming Dynasty will not produce real ministers of chaos, at most it is a power traitor like Liu Jin and Yan Song, and the emperor can take it with one will." Xu Jie raised his voice and said: "If you don't have the six branches, Your Majesty, sooner or later the tragedy of the late Han and Tang dynasties will be repeated!" ”

"Hmm." Long Qing was frightened. The heart said that relatives, feudal towns, and internal prisons seem to be indeed more scary than civil officials......

"Therefore, for the ministers, please Your Majesty must be magnanimous, comfort the six branches once, and return the right to copy the subjects to them."

Xu Jie said and knelt down and kowtowed: "The upload and distribution must be separated, otherwise the General Administration Department will become the second Zhongshu Province!" ”

"Oh, okay, I promised Motosuke." Emperor Longqing was really frightened by Xu Jie, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"In this way, the old minister is magnanimous on behalf of His Majesty Liukexie!" Xu Jie also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said to Long Qing: "There is also the recent hot scientific ...... in Beijing."

"What about science?" Long Qing asked hurriedly.

"They deny the sympathy between heaven and man, and wantonly spread fallacies and heresies." Xu Jie secretly hated: "What kind of 'solar system' model is, it's just a matter for others to listen to it." Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you also deny the sympathy between heaven and man? ”

"However, I have seen the moon with my own eyes, and I have also seen the waxing and waning of Venus." Long Qing frowned and said, "And in the past month, I have also seen four stars, which are really revolving around Jupiter as Dr. Zhao said." This is enough to prove that he is not wrong. ”

"If it is really as he said, the way of heaven is permanent, not for Yao, not for ruin. Then it is not the destiny of heaven to win the world! Xu Jie said in a low voice sternly: "How serious is the consequences, has Your Majesty thought about it?" ”

"This ......" Longqing's expression couldn't help but stagnate, but then he said proudly: "The Ming Dynasty is the most righteous country, and the people want it!" ”

"The hearts of the people are like water, and the people are like smoke, Your Majesty!" Xu Ge persuaded bitterly.

"Providence has been unfathomable since ancient times, and people's hearts have always been inexplicable." Long Qing shook his head and said the truth: "What is the sky, what is the sky? What the providence is, it all depends on people's mouths. One day in the future, Da Ming will lose the hearts of the people, and naturally countless heavenly wills will be attached to it, claiming that Da Ming's qi has been exhausted. Since the elder said that people's hearts are unreliable, the providence interpreted by that person is also unreliable. ”

"This ......" It's Xu Ge's turn to be poor in old words.

He didn't expect that he would easily overturn the intention of the three members of the cabinet to set up six sections. But it took a lot of effort to speak, and he couldn't shake Zhao Hao's cognition in the emperor's heart.

It can be seen that using scientific methods to educate is much more solid than simply relying on the knowledge instilled by words.

In this game, Zhao Hao defeated Zhang Idol.

~~

Seeing that he couldn't convince the emperor, Xu Jie gave up persuasion and asked with a wry smile: "Your Majesty will still worship the Temple of Heaven in the future?" ”

"Of course. I will continue to worship the heavens and ancestors, because the country needs it, the people need it, and I need it too. But I don't want anyone to use the will of heaven to make up nonsense to scare me. Long Qing replied simply, obviously this was no longer a problem for him.

"Then the old minister can rest assured a little." After Xu Jie finished speaking, he laughed at himself and said: "People are such bastards when they are old, and they have to be disgusted before leaving." ”

"Guolao, these are all good words." Emperor Longqing smiled disapprerovingly: "What else is there, can you tell it together?" ”

"Business is gone." Xu Jie said softly: "There is also a small private matter. ”

"Speak." Long Qing waved his hand.

"The dog Xu Fan is also ready to resign with the old minister this time, but he is still involved in a case...... Xu Jie said euphemistically: "Please also ask Your Majesty to close the case as soon as possible, so that the father and son of the minister can leave without any obstacles." I don't know if this is too much to ask? ”

"Not too much." Emperor Longqing knew which case Xu Ge Lao was referring to, and he had already made up his mind: "If this case is handed over to the legal department, it will be cheaper for Zhao Shouzheng." In this case, a court meeting will be held in three days, and the ministers will jointly decide what kind of karma should be cured! ”

Xu Jie heard the emperor call Zhao Shouzheng 'karma', and his heart couldn't help but settle down a lot.

He couldn't help but secretly say, it seems that the emperor is also full of bad feelings for that guy. didn't love the house and Wu, because Zhao Shou was the father of the scientific Zhao Hao, so he would favor him.

"Your Majesty, the minister has no opinion!" Elder Xu Ge agreed.
