Gao Gong stood there, watching Huang Jin's back disappear into the door, and a fear suddenly rose in his heart. Since he took control of the government, he has made drastic moves to rectify the rule of officials, and Emperor Jiajing has also praised it a lot, and when he wants to see Emperor Jiajing, he can see it when he can. Even if there was a conflict with Emperor Jiajing later because of the construction of Yuxi Palace, every time I came, I was able to meet Emperor Jiajing smoothly. Who knew that he would suddenly not see Emperor Jiajing.

Why?

Gao Gong stood there pondering, and gradually his vest was soaked with cold sweat.

He got it!

Emperor Jiajing was not because of the rebuilding of the Yuxi Palace, and even the matter of making him rebuild the Yuxi Palace was deliberate. This is Emperor Jiajing releasing his dissatisfaction with his high arch.

Why was Emperor Jiajing dissatisfied with Gao Gong?

Because of his drastic moves, he was too hasty in the reform of the court, and it was at the time of the Ming Dynasty, which began with Emperor Jiajing asking Xu Jiejie to build the Yuxi Palace. Therefore, at this time, Emperor Jiajing's prestige was declining from both the government and the opposition. However, his high arch rose at this time, and in a short period of time, he had a very high prestige, which touched Jiajing's authority.

At this time, he suddenly woke up, who is Emperor Jiajing?

What kind of character is Emperor Jiajing?

That's definitely a strong emperor, and no one is allowed to touch his authority. In other words, anyone can become the head of the cabinet, and anyone can replace Emperor Jiajing to govern the Ming Dynasty.

However, you have to remember that that's just in place.

No matter how long you have been the head of the cabinet, and it doesn't matter if you are loyal or traitorous, as long as Emperor Jiajing wants you to sit in that position, you can sit, and if Emperor Jiajing doesn't want you to sit, you can't sit.

For example, Yan Song!

He has accompanied Emperor Jiajing for more than 40 years, but it's here!

Another example is Xu Jie, now that he is able to suppress Xu Jie, is he better than Xu Jie?

No!

It was Xu Jie who lost the favor of Emperor Jiajing.

At this time, a trace of realization rose in Gao Gong's heart, and the construction of Yuxi Palace was simply Emperor Jiajing's deliberate embarrassment for him, because he touched the authority of Emperor Jiajing.

Wasn't Xu Jie's reputation ruined because of the construction of the Yuxi Palace?

Now I want to see how you arch high?

Gao Gong returned home and sighed for a while, but the matter still had to be dealt with. I prepared detailed information, how much money does the household department have now, and how much does Daming need?

The war in the north needs money, the disaster relief continues, it also needs money, and there are small groups of rogue bandits that have not been exterminated, which also needs money. The villages and counties destroyed by the rogues need to be built, which also requires money, and so on and so forth.

The next day.

Gao Gong went to see Emperor Jiajing again.

This time, Emperor Jiajing saw him, and when he finished reading the high arch recital, his face became gloomy. As long as you finish reading the high arch movement, you know that Da Ming is now unable to make ends meet. Where is the money to build the Yuxi Palace?

In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, there are only two words:

"Faint King!"

Emperor Jiajing's heart became angry, and he threw the piece and said, "What are you doing with me?" If I have to take care of everything, what else do you want you to do? ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Jiajing was still puzzled, and snorted coldly: "It's also about rectifying corrupt officials and corrupt officials, why is Luo Xin able to get a whole amount of money, but you don't get anything?" ”

Gao Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seemed that Emperor Jiajing was really dissatisfied with him for not getting the silver.

But......

He really doesn't want to be like Luo Xin, killing people's heads! So he just dismissed those officials, and didn't even punish them and put them in prison, so where did he get to raid his home, and if he didn't raid his house, where did he get the money?

If the head was killed at the beginning and a batch of silver was stolen, the construction of Yuxi Palace would not be a big deal.

However, if you do that, I am afraid that your reputation will be ruined. Attacking Shilin is undoubtedly excluding himself from Shilin, and he will establish the image of an executioner, will Shilin follow him in the future?

When the time comes, Xu Jie will push behind his back, and I am afraid that he will be isolated in the future. This is also what he is afraid of, so although the reform is drastic, he is actually merciful.

Now Emperor Jiajing is forcing the high arch to build the Yuxi Palace.

It was through this incident that, on the one hand, expressed Emperor Jiajing's dissatisfaction. On the other hand, it is to suppress Xu Jie through this matter. Otherwise, you will resign from the cabinet and return to your hometown. This is obviously a high arch refusal. Otherwise, you will honestly build the Yuxi Palace for Emperor Jiajing, no matter where your money comes from, but it will inevitably destroy the image that Gao Gong originally established. At such a difficult time in the Ming Dynasty, but to build the Yuxi Palace for Emperor Jiajing, your high arch is just a flattering minister. Gao Gong's prestige is bound to be greatly reduced, and when Emperor Jiajing gives Xu Jie, the cabinet will become balanced again, and Gao Gong wants to monopolize the government again, which is impossible.

Gao Gong returned to the cabinet, and without Gao Gong summoning, hundreds of officials came one after another, all listening to Gao Gong take a look, and he couldn't sit in the house, so he stood in the courtyard. The high-arched rooms are overcrowded. Xu Jie sat in his duty room, and there were a few people around him, but there was silence in the duty room, and several people looked at Xu Jie from time to time, Xu Jie was holding a book, looking at the book, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the high-arched duty room, there was a commotion, and the sound was so loud that it reached Xu Jie's duty room.

"My lord, you can't let Your Majesty build the Yuxi Palace! Daming is now not recovering its vitality, and the northern border is fighting, the south is eyeing the Japanese and eyeing the tiger, Daming is in a hundred ruins to be rebuilt, at this time His Majesty is greedy for comfort and enjoyment, spent a huge amount of money to build Yuxi Palace, Daming Mansion will fall! ”

"Yes, sir! Before, Xu Ge Lao made the world chaotic because of the construction of Yuxi Palace, and the people were not able to make a living, and the wanderers were everywhere. We can't go wrong like that anymore. ”

In Xu Jie's room, the officials looked at Xu Jie, and Wang Xijue said softly: "Your Excellency, ......"

Xu Jie glanced up at a few people, and said with a smile: "Yes, the previous Ming Rebellion was due to the factors of the official building the Yuxi Palace, although it only accounted for a small part of the reason, but the official recognized it." Now the official wants to see what about the high arch? ”

When several officials heard this, their hearts sank. Thinking of Xu Jie's actions these days, this is a deliberate attempt to hold up the high arch. Holding the high arch too high, Emperor Jiajing was jealous in his heart, and the construction of the Yuxi Palace was definitely Emperor Jiajing's deliberate problem for the high arch. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on everyone's faces, and they looked gloating.

"Ahem......" At this time, Gao Gong's coughing sound came out, and the people in Xu Jie's room pricked up their ears to listen, and then heard Gao Gong's voice ringing.
