Chapter 317: The Valley of Self-Confidence

Tu Zemin's proposition made Gao Gong very moved, and he strongly persuaded Emperor Longqing to open the sea to lift the ban.

Unexpectedly, it was strongly opposed by the Kedao Yanguan and many conservative officials, and Gao Gong quarreled with them in the dark, but he was still defeated in the court meeting.

The process of the Ming Dynasty's major court discussions, ministers' court pushes, and the prison court is very similar, and in the end, it depends on which side supports the most people. The six section chiefs and thirteen imperial histories can participate, and they like to hold together, so they have a great influence on the major affairs of the imperial court.

Baikedao spared no effort to delay his efforts, and in the end only opened a port, and strictly limited the amount of trade, making the so-called opening of the sea a joke.

Behind those officials of science and technology stood a huge southeast smuggling interest group.

Gao Gong saw through this point and set the opening site in Yuegang, dividing the Fujian maritime merchants from the Jiangnan maritime merchants. Then he instructed Lin Run, who he had arranged earlier in Jiangnan, to secretly deal with the Nine Families, in order to dismantle the Southeast Smuggling Group.

Later, when Gao Gong went into the wilderness, Lin Run's situation was very dangerous, but he never gave up his mission and persistently attacked the wealthy families in Jiangnan, but he suffered a fire in Shanghai, which made Longqing not think about it?

"The emperor doesn't think this is an accident?" Zhang Juzheng sighed in his heart, he didn't expect Lin Run to have another special mission, it seems that the struggle in Jiangnan is far more cruel than he expected.

From this point of view, it would be useless for the two elders to withhold the confession.

"Of course I hope it was just an accident." Long Qing said with a solemn expression: "But as long as you have a relationship with those people in the southeast, there are too many accidents." ”

"Back then, Emperor Wu Zongyi made a southern tour and accidentally fell into the water in Qingjiangpu, although he was quickly rescued, he couldn't afford to fall ill, and died a few months later." The emperor's eyes were slightly red, and he hurriedly picked up a disgusting porcelain to play with it and calmed down and said:

"The Renyin Palace change encountered by the first emperor Shizongsu Emperor is also unbelievable and mysterious, and in the end it can only be attributed to an accident. Then I have to ask, why does it happen that the southeast gang will have an accident in their favor, this is too coincidental, right? ”

"There are so many coincidences, it's not an accident!" As he spoke, Long Qing became furious and slammed the teacup on the table.

I only heard a click, and the fine porcelain, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, cracked.

"Oops......" can make Emperor Longqing feel distressed, this is a set! If you break one, you're not complete!

So he became even more angry, and said loudly to Zhang Juzheng: "There are basically some people who are lawless and lawless!" ”

Zhang Juzheng hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is angry, the ministers and others will definitely investigate this case thoroughly, no matter who is involved, how high the official position is, and how powerful the power is, he will definitely be brought to justice!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's attitude was still quite upright, Long Qing said with a slightly gloomy expression: "Of course I can trust Master Zhang." ”

"I'm ashamed, it's hard to be a lonely minister, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet Your Majesty's expectations." Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity to suggest: "Your Majesty, if Gao Suqing doesn't come out, the charm and the spirit will not be able to be suppressed." ”

"Hmm......" Long Qing nodded and sat down slowly. Chen Hong was busy, and he changed to a tired porcelain to play.

After a while, the emperor stabilized his mind again and said, "Of course, I have been dreaming that Master Gao is back. But in the past six months, he has been elected as a scholar of Tingtui University three times, and he has all failed. I fought back three times, and I had already offended the three ministers by Master Gao, and I didn't dare to make enemies for him anymore. ”

The emperor naturally has the right of veto on the results of the court push, but in this way, the people are naturally angry, thinking that the emperor goes against the consensus and insists on going his own way. The rejected officials will be even more resentful, they will not dare to do anything to the emperor, but they will direct their anger at the person who caused all this.

Gao Gong's popularity is not good, and it is even less popular now.

Zhang Juzheng nodded, the university Shiting Tui is involved in the science and road, with the current situation, it is not difficult for Gao Gong to take this road to the sky.

"I have also made a will, Master Jian Gao will return to Beijing." Long Qing sighed again: "However, his old man refused. ”

Of course, the emperor can also directly appoint officials outside the court. This is called 'special Jane', just like Zhang Cong and Gui Cao were specially simplified by Emperor Jiajing as cabinet ministers.

However, such a bachelor violates political conventions, is deeply resisted by hundreds of bureaucrats, and is constrained everywhere in his work, and if he makes a mistake, he will be attacked by the masses. Therefore, Zhang Conggui didn't work for a few years, and after completing the historical mission, he went home.

Gao Gong obviously didn't want to repeat the tragic fate of Zhang Gui and the others......

"It's understandable," Zhang Juzheng said softly: "If Tejian enters the cabinet, Gao Xiang's situation will be very difficult." ”

"What is Master Zhang's plan?" Emperor Longqing is out of line.

"I thought the minister was foolish, and now there is a good opportunity to take a detour." I only heard Zhang Juzheng say in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty may appoint the Prime Minister as the envoy of the southeastern patrol of the Qincha. This position has no grade or rank, it is just a dispatch, and naturally it does not need to be pushed by the court. When Gao Xiang calms down the chaos in the southeast, it is logical to return to the dynasty after the matter is over. Who will stop him from re-entering the cabinet when the time comes? ”

"Ahh What a great idea! Long Qing's eyes lit up, and he patted his thigh and said, "Why didn't I think that I would use this method to let Master Gao go out of the mountain first, wouldn't it be easy to do it when he came out?" ”

"When is the right time to make the order?" Long Qing asked again.

He is willing to exchange a full set of "Golden Vase Plum" for his master Gao. Well, this is the sincere feelings that surpass the master and apprentice of the monarch and the minister!

"No hurry, Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng said calmly: "Gao Xiang is the second assistant of Zhishi, how can the country's heavy weapon be moved?" You have to let people take the lead before you can make a decent debut. ”

"What does Master Zhang mean......" Long Qing touched the porcelain with his hand, and his face was suddenly full of doubts. What is this twist and turn about?

"To be a minister means to wait for a while. Let the successor Governor Ying Tian investigate the case. Then there are only two results, either there is no evidence, and the big thing is small; Either it's a mess and out of control. No matter which one appears, it can be justifiably reinstated. ”

"The latter one understands, but can big things be turned into small ones?" Long Qing smacked his lips puzzled, feeling that the donkey intestine sashimi was not fragrant.

"Since Your Majesty is convinced that there is something else hidden, if the governor dares to make a big matter small, it is to deceive the Holy Hearing, and Your Majesty will directly make a decree to dismiss him and investigate him, and then reinstate his high appearance in anger, who dares to oppose it again?" I heard Zhang Juzheng say coldly: "Whoever opposes it is a traitor party, and all the officials are dismissed!" ”

"Hiss......" Emperor Longqing tasted it and couldn't help nodding. can take the opportunity to clean up those ill-intentioned officials, and will not make enemies for Master Gao. This method is very medium.

It's just that he thought of another possibility, and couldn't help asking, "What if the Qin Cha completes this case?" ”

"Hehe......" Bugu smiled confidently, and his beautiful hair swayed on his chest. It's impossible, Jiangnan has been suffering from shortcomings for a long time, and no one can handle it except Gao Xiang. ”
