Spring thunder showers, rain falls into rivers.

Listening to his father's words, Xu Fan was taken aback.

"Father think twice! His Majesty and the first emperor are two extremes, and he is too conniving and trusting of the eunuchs. Those eunuchs also relied on His Majesty's favor, not to mention the evil and misdeeds of the king, and tried in vain to seize power! ”

Xiaoge Lao hurriedly persuaded Xu Ge Laodao: In just over a year, Dongchang's eyes and ears have been all over the capital, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor has also begun to regroup. The celebrant also sent eunuchs to harass the locality, and there were already signs of grabbing power. If they really get the power of the army......"

Xu Fan shuddered and said, "I'm afraid I'm really going to repeat the old things of Zhengde......"

Xu Jie nodded, and Xu Senjun analyzed it correctly.

Emperor Longqing is indeed different from the first emperor, he is extremely dependent on the eunuchs around him, and since he ascended the throne for a year, he has repeatedly promoted and indiscriminately awarded the eunuchs of the Qiandi. It can really be said that one person has attained the Tao and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven.

It's not as simple as rewarding a few eunuchs. You must know that there are 24 yamen in the inner court in the north and south of Beijing, plus the town guard eunuchs, weaving eunuchs, and tax eunuchs in various provinces...... In total, there were forty or fifty thousand eunuchs.

Moreover, it is necessary to have power and power - the celebrant supervisor, the soldier to have soldiers - the imperial horse supervisor, and the money to have money - the weaving bureau, so this is a political force that cannot be ignored.

Even in the Zhengde Dynasty, the eunuchs used to control the inside and outside of the court, and the dignified cabinet scholars and the six Shangshu were their lackeys, and their power was overwhelming, as if they had reached the height of the late Han Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, Emperor Zhengde later realized his 'mistake' and took the initiative to kill Liu Jin and exile the Eight Tigers. Later, Emperor Jiajing learned the 'lesson' of the Zhengde Dynasty and severely restricted the power of the eunuchs.

However, the civilian clique has always maintained its vigilance against the eunuch clique, and has always taken it as its duty to prevent them from resurrecting with the help of imperial power.

Well, the safest way is to make the imperial power itself weak and powerless, so that those eunuchs have no way to borrow power......

That's why when he saw the emperor and the eunuchs trying to take back their military power, Xu Fan's reaction was so big.

"You're right, in normal times, my father would definitely stop this." Xu Ge Lao sighed and said: "But now, the old man doesn't want to shelter the people below anymore, so let them all get drenched in the rain and be sober." ”

"Got it!" Xu Fan suddenly realized: "What does my father mean, we plan to pass the vote, and then release the news and let the three of them clean up the mess?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Jie nodded, and said with obvious resentment in his flat tone: "When the time comes, they will know how much the old man, the first assistant, has suffered for them." ”

Elder Xu Ge does have reason to be resentful - are you so well-behaved as soon as Emperor Longqing comes up?

He is in his thirties, at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and has received a good royal education, and has a complete internal and external team.

At the beginning, Longqing was also ambitious and wanted to be a generation of promising masters!

After ascending the throne, he wanted to restore the system of eunuchs guarding the whole country during Zhengde, and wanted to go to Mount Tai to worship, and he also wanted to restore the eunuchs and the army...... One after another, it was Xu Ge Lao who withstood great pressure to extinguish the emperor's thoughts one by one, and at the risk of breaking with the emperor, he killed Gao Gong.

This is how the imperial power was put in a cage...... Oh no, this has created the harmonious situation where the Holy Son of Heaven is ruling now.

But some people actually ignore the knife and the black pot that they are suffering for you, and look forward to me stepping down one by one?

Well, this time the old man doesn't care, you can taste for yourselves, what is it like to be stung by a bee!

"Since that's the case, then just don't do it." Xu Fan took advantage of the situation and proposed: "Add one more article, restore the ancestral system of sending eunuchs to guard the localities!" ”

After speaking, he was a little unsure and said: "But my father knelt in the Qianqing Palace for a whole day in order to cut this article." ”

"It's okay, let them kneel and try it too." Xu Ge Lao looked injured, like a child shouting 'Give me the ball, I want to go home'.

"Then that's it." Xu Fan gritted his teeth, put a pen on the ticket, and wrote down the agreed content.

"If you write a note for your father to call him sick and beggar, you will say that your father is old, exhausted, frail and sickly, and he is not able to take on the heavy responsibilities of the first assistant, please ask Your Majesty for permission to give him." Xu Jie instructed again: "Then send it to Li Xianggong together." ”

"Understood." Xu Fan nodded. The resignation of the first assistant minister said that he was sick, and it has always been a habitual means of retreating as advance, and no one has ever played it off.

However, when Gao Xinzheng resigned, the emperor came back to work after two stays, but Shilin ridiculed him for being an official obsession and hypocrisy......

~~

When the rain stopped, Xu Fan also wrote a begging recital, along with a stack of recitals, and sent them to Li Chunfang's duty room.

Li Chunfang saw Xiao Ge Lao coming over with a concert, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "How can you bother Xiao Ge Lao to run in person?" I'll report back to Motosuke later, and I'll just bring it back myself. ”

"Hey." Xu Fan put the neat stack of pieces on Li Chunfang's desk, and sighed: "In the future, the straight house will be returned to the public, and you have to report to you." ”

"What?" Li Chunfang was so shocked that she got up from the chair, and sure enough, she saw "Chen Xu Jie's Beggar Skeleton" that was placed on top by Xu Fan. couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Absolutely not, why is this so?" ”

"Why is that?" Seeing Li Chunfang's flustered appearance, Xu Fan couldn't help but resentful: "How could the three of them put Yuanfu in their eyes yesterday? My father thought that he had poured out his heart and lungs, but who knew that he was abandoned by the cabinet officials, so he was naturally discouraged and did not sleep all night, so he wrote this resignation this morning, fulfilling the wishes of all the scholars! ”

Saying that, he sighed and said, "The heavy rain earlier, it was heaven and earth crying for Yuanfu......"

Li Chunfang said in his heart, okay, even Elder Xu Ge can sense with the heavens.

"Elder Xiaoge is here for a while, I'll go to Zhang Xiang and Chen Xiang to discuss it together, and see how to persuade Yuanfu to change his mind."

After saying that, he hurriedly picked up the resignation letter with a panicked face and went to report to the other two scholars.

Xu Fan stood in Li Chunfang's duty room, looking at his back in a panic and leaving, and the corners of his mouth crossed a look of sarcasm.

~~

Zhang Juzheng was in the room, in a daze at the newly obtained geometry problem.

This is Zhao Hao, in order to thank him for his help yesterday, specially ordered his disciples to send it - volumes 3 to 7 of "Geometric Originals".

For Zhao Gongzi, who is stingy in knowledge, taking out four volumes in one go, it definitely seems that the face of the idol is sent with great sincerity.

However, in fact, Bugu doesn't like geometry......

It's just because Bugu has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This problem does not allow oneself to give up halfway.

Hey, I've already done part of it, how can I do it if I haven't done the rest?

Let's get it, the family must be neat and tidy to be perfect.

Thinking of this, Bugu's beard wilted a lot.

At this time, Li Chunfang suddenly walked in quickly and said in a low voice: "Yuanfu is about to hand in his resignation." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Juzheng's gaze suddenly shifted from the geometric question to the resignation in Li Chunfang's hand.

Well, there's just a reason not to do it yet......
