Chapter 368: Smooth Progress
"The emperor has arrived," the voice of the little eunuch is still so sonorous and powerful, this emperor has arrived, and the long sound of the word "to" in the back can be described as long, and it has not been exhausted for a long time.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live," the ministers still greeted with such a humble voice, but today's greeting is even more humble.
Although Longqing sings every night, he is actually very sensitive to these things, and the ministers below have weak remarks, which makes him feel strange at the same time, but also very satisfying, because the weak voices of these ministers make him feel as if they respect themselves more, but this kind of self-satisfaction, Longqing did not last long, it didn't take long for him to wake up, he knew why.
"Ladies Aiqing, what's the matter," Longqing asked with a smile in his words with a teasing face, "All Aiqing are all pillars of the imperial court, and I can't govern this Ming dynasty without your Aiqing, but now, how can I look listless, this is not good, if this thing is not done well because of poor energy, if you delay the big thing, it will be worth the loss,"
Hearing Longqing's words, the civil and military officials standing below, including Zhang Fan, all lowered their heads, showing a helpless expression on their faces, but they didn't dare to let Longqing see it, almost all of them were protesting against Longqing in their hearts, speaking of which, yesterday they would go to Zhang Fan's mansion for a banquet, in addition to because Zhang Fan sent them an invitation, there was also a reason that yesterday's Longqing obviously let them go to Zhang Fan's place, although Longqing never did, and it was impossible to say this matter clearly, but everyone present here understands it very well in their hearts, and Long Qing understands that he is helping Zhang Fan build momentum.
Thinking about yesterday's morning court, Longqing was even more silent than when he was the most serious, and he didn't ask about anything at all, and even if a minister stood up to play something, he just said "reconsider" lightly, even if it was dealt with, it was clear that he wanted the early dynasty to end early, so that they could go to Zhang Fan's house as soon as possible, so that he could give him a concubine.
In the eyes of many people, if it weren't for the disagreement with the etiquette law, I'm afraid Longqing would have wanted to go to Zhang Fan's mansion to join in the fun.
Thinking of this, the helpless emotions in the hearts of the officials have now become an angry emotion, in their opinion, it is all because of the emperor Longqing, which will harm them to be in Zhang Fan's house yesterday, drinking alcohol does not know how to measure, so that they are now all mentally sluggish, and they are drowsy on the top of the imperial hall of the early dynasty.
In fact, these people still have no conscience, they just hope to have such an opportunity to get together with colleagues on weekdays, and then drink and talk without scruples, but for many reasons, such as being invited to a group banquet by Longqing in the middle of the court, you have to worry that the imperial history next to you will impeach you for not abiding by etiquette, and if you let loose at home, you are afraid of being watched by the people who monitor you.
Longqing can be regarded as finding an excellent opportunity for them this time, the Jinyi guards commanded the day of the concubines, let them go to congratulate, and more importantly, Zhang Fan, the commander of the Jinyi guards, is the first time in the Ming Dynasty that a scholar is still a champion of the three yuan, which is a little cordial for these officials, and it also makes them not too restrained.
In short, these people had a good time yesterday, and although they didn't taste much of the delicacies, they were not their main purpose in the first place, and the main thing was that they had enough wine and wine yesterday.
And now, they came to blame Longqing, thinking that they would come to Shangzao today with a hazy drunkenness and sleepy-eyed state, all because Longqing let them go to Zhang Fan's mansion to drink yesterday.
Fortunately, this is just a careful thought in their hearts, if it is known by Long Qing, I am afraid that this court will be in chaos.
Hundreds of officials, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows what to do now, and finally had to kneel down collectively, kowtow to Longqing, and said in unison: "The ministers are out of character, and please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime,"
"Okay, okay, don't mention this matter again," Long Qing waved his hand and said, "What else do you want to punish crimes, I see that you are just working together to deceive me, but you should tell me which of you should be punished, just pick out a few of them, then these people will definitely not accept it; Or let you all be punished, then my court will be idle all day,"
......Hearing this, the civil and military officials below didn't know what to say, and they all fell silent.
Seeing that all the officials below stood up, Long Qing didn't want to waste time, and nodded to the little eunuch beside him.
The little eunuch naturally knew what Longqing meant, took a step forward, sank his dantian, and shouted loudly: "There is something to play, nothing to retreat,"
Seeing that Longqing was no longer entangled in his own manners, the officials below were no longer hypocritical, and stood up one by one to say something.
Zhang Fan stood there and didn't move, he didn't have anything to play, plus he was really tired yesterday, and he felt a little drowsy at this time, but he still secretly forced himself to be awake.
It stands to reason that it doesn't matter if he comes today or not, the reason why he wants to come today is for Li Chunfang's affairs, yesterday, Feng Bao went to his house very early to say goodbye, and when no one else came, he told Zhang Fan that Longqing had already written a holy decree for Li Chunfang to be a minister, and it was very likely that it would be released today, and Zhang Fan would wake up early this morning to prepare for the court.
Moreover, today, there is a figure in the Imperial Palace, Gao Yi, Zhang Fan is more sure that Li Chunfang's matter will be understood today, although the candidate to succeed Li Chunfang into the cabinet is almost already Gao Yi, and Gao Yi is also surprised to be familiar with the daily affairs of the cabinet these days, but after all, he has not officially entered the cabinet, although he is the minister of the East Palace, the prince's guest is also the official position of Zheng Sanpin, and the qualifications to come to the court are not nothing, but now he will appear here, Zhang Fan is sure, This will definitely not be what he wants to come, even if he thinks very much in his heart, but he will definitely not do this kind of too obvious utilitarian behavior, then he will come today, I'm afraid it's not Longqing, or Li Chunfang asked him to come, so wait a while, even if Longqing wants to delay the matter of Li Chunfang's Zhishi, I'm afraid Li Chunfang himself will stand up and speak.
Zhang Fan will come here in fact to prevent some accidents that may occur, of course, this accident refers to Gao Gong, although the possibility of Gao Gong will make something more today can be regarded as very small, but Zhang Fan will not relax his vigilance, after all, for Gao Gong this person, anything is possible, even the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, absolutely no one will feel that Gao Gong and Li Chunfang talked freely in Zhang Fan's mansion yesterday, I wouldn't have stabbed him in the back today.
As time passed, the number of ministers in the hall gradually decreased, and finally, no one stood up to speak anymore.
Long Qing saw that no one stood up below, and his face showed an unprecedentedly disappointed expression, and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, who else has something to play,"
Still no one moved, seeing this scene, when Long Qing was about to speak again, a person stood up, seeing this person, Long Qing's brows furrowed faintly, this person is none other than Li Chunfang himself, it seems that sure enough, those who should come must come, and they can't hide.
"Minister Li Chunfang has something to play," Li Chunfang stood up and said.
"Li Aiqing, please say," Long Qing looked very reluctant when he said these words.
"The day before yesterday, Your Majesty has approved the return of the minister, and let Master Gao Yi enter the cabinet to replace the minister," Li Chunfang said in a calm tone, calmly and calmly, "Now that Lord Gao has become familiar with all the matters in the cabinet, the minister hereby asks Your Majesty to play,"
When Long Qing heard his words, he sighed helplessly, and the hundred officials below were not surprised, after all, this matter was already a sure thing, there was nothing to be surprised about, and at this time, many people's attention was on Gao Gong, it seemed that many people had the same idea as Zhang Fan, and felt that Gao Gong would stand up and disrupt the situation at this time.
And Gao Gong was surprisingly didn't make any movement, or as before, he stood calmly in place and didn't move, which made the officials a little surprised, but it wasn't too long, after all, Gao Gong had made Longqing very angry because of this matter a few days ago, and now it was normal for him to stop standing up and talking.
"In that case," Long Qing said with some reluctance, "Gao Yi, the minister of the East Palace, has been added as a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and he will be appointed to the cabinet council from now on,"
When Long Qing said this, he paused, as if he didn't want to say the following words, and the hundred officials took advantage of this gap to look at the untouched Gao Gong who was still standing there, and most of them showed a clear expression, it seems that Gao Gong really doesn't want to go up and care about anything now.
"As for Li Aiqing, ......" Long Qing looked at Li Chunfang and said, "I have already written the edict, and I will have someone upload it to your house later,"
"Your Majesty," Li Chunfang knelt down respectfully and bowed.
In the face of these, Long Qing didn't seem to want to see it much, waved his hand with no interest, stood up from the dragon chair and walked to the back.
The little eunuch on the side also stood up again and shouted: "Retreat,"
