Zhao Zhenji's affair, which happened shortly after Gao Zhengshi left Beijing, was due to Ye Mengxiong and other imperial historians to obstruct the tribute, and the emperor was angry and proposed that this year's Jingcha should also inspect the science and road, but because of a little mistake, it caused Zhao Zhenji's dissatisfaction and finally made a big fuss.

At that time, Zhao Zhenji impeached Gao Gong, saying that he insisted on inspecting Kedao to retaliate for the resignation of Longqing in the first year.

When the investigation was completed, Han Ji couldn't help it, and he talked about Zhao Zhenji Yongheng, please stop. Zhao Zhenji argued, saying that Han Ji was a high-arched private party and attacked dissidents.

At that time, Zhao Zhenji learned that he was impeached by Han Ji, and he was furious, and Shang Shuli argued: "If a person is mediocre, he can't be horizontal, and he can't be a mediocre minister." To the special order, the ministers were also in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Court, so the ministers did not dare to speak, and the emperor took office as a cabinet minister and was also in charge of the ministry. Although there is no name of prime minister, there is both a general truth, that is, the ancient prime minister is not a past. This holy ancestor is a deep precept, and the one who prescribes it. The emperor appointed his ministers to suppress the division with discipline and stand side by side, didn't he want to divide his power and save his power? Now and October, this is only the case with this investigation. Other bad and disorderly election methods, indulge in great evil, and are obvious to the ears and eyes of people, and they are still forbidden to speak a word. There is a negative envoy like this, and the minister is really mediocre.

If the arch, it can be said that it is horizontal. The husband is a person who betrays the public and private parties, and the protégé of the arch has wings in his heart. He helped to become a minister, so that the sky broke the sea and could not be controlled, and then he was happy, and he saw his end here...... Because please return to the cabinet, do not pre-order the ministry again. ”

Zhao Zhenji is impeaching Gao Gong for violating the ancestral system by being a scholar and in charge of affairs in his self-defense, so Gao Gong has to defend himself, so Shang Shu said:

"The husband investigates the science and the way, and the holy oracle is also, and there must be a unique opinion on the top. Could it be that the emperor decreed for this, so the fake ministers took revenge? How dare the power of the ministers ask the beggar emperor to take revenge on him for this? What is clear about this Sacred Heart, and what is the prescribing of the minister? In addition, after a long time of investigation, whether or not there has been revenge is a matter of fact, not only known to people in the court, but also known to people from all over the world, and the ministers have no argument. As for the minister's 'bad and chaotic election law, indulge in great evil', I don't know what the minister has done badly, what is the wanton thing? As such, the country has its own constitution, and the crime escaped from it? If not, the world has its own public opinion, and Encore is false? There is no argument in the minister...... Today, with Han Ji's play, he retorted against the minister. The husband is a minister, so Zhang Lu and Wei Huaming in the previous matter, Wang Youxian and Su Shirun of the imperial history have all impeached Zhenji, what does it matter? The reason is self-evident, and the minister has no argument.

The minister 'should return to the cabinet, and he should not be in power for a long time'. The husband has a heavy responsibility, and the minister is very afraid. The reason why the minister is worried about it day and night is that he is afraid that it will violate the holy trust and dare not say it. Now Zhenji is a minister, so he will be saved from danger. But the ministers are inferior, and they should be retired, and they should not be able to stop with the right to seek relief, and they are willing to be dismissed. ”

The argument of the high arch is very powerful, to the effect that:

It is the emperor's will to investigate the science and road, could it be that the emperor made a special decree in order to give me a chance to "take revenge"? As for you saying that I am bad at the law and indulgent, please provide evidence, if I really did it, I will naturally be punished by the country, and if I have not done it, the people of the world will have their own opinions. You impeached you because Han Ji was my protégé, and you slandered me in turn, so I would like to ask Zhang Lu, Wei Huaming, Yushi Wang Youxian, Su Shirun and others who have impeached you for this, are they also my protégés?

As for being in charge of the ministry, I don't want to be in charge of the department, I really can't resign, and since I have been impeached again, then I will continue to resign. Moreover, since you think that I have too much power, and even "the sky is uncontrollable" is so serious, I simply quit with the university scholar and go home to retire, this is always okay, right?

Then Gao Gong waited at home for the holy judgment according to the Ming custom, and did not go to the cabinet and the ministry to observe things.

Things have come to this point, which is equivalent to Gao Gong resigning to show his attitude, and the emperor must make a choice.

So, Longqing's edict came down, and he gave Gao Gong a high, saying: "Qing is loyal and diligent, and he is fair, and I rely on him, how can I be suspicious and ask for retreat?" It is advisable to work with peace of mind immediately and not to resign. ”

The other is to Zhao Zhenji, "Make Zhenji return" - you resign and go home to retire.

Emperor Longqing is not the kind of little emperor with a low political level, a stupid emperor, he has his own account in his heart. When Longqing returned to Beijing in the fourth year of Gao Gongqi, he resigned from "being in charge of the affairs of the officials" and said: "The officials control the hundreds of bureaucrats, and they are the average four seas for the Son of Heaven." …… How can he be like a minister? ”

The emperor replied: "Qing Fu Bi is an old minister, and he is known for his virtue, and he is specially used to praise him as a vice-minister; Quan affairs are temporarily managed, and they have already made a fate, and they are not allowed to resign. In this way, Gao Gong took office as a cabinet minister and in charge of affairs.

Therefore, Zhao Zhenji said that Gao Gong is a close minister of the cabinet and the head of the ministry, and he is "not to enter the secret, the foreign lord is selected, and the power is too heavy", "this holy ancestor is deeply precepted, and the person who is in charge of the discipline".

But when Zhao Zhenji said this, he was actually not only accusing Gao Gong, but also accusing him as the emperor.

Moreover, taking a step back, Mr. Gao is in charge, since he violated the ancestral teachings of the ancestral system, you Zhao Zhenji should have admonished me at that time and revoked his power to be in charge of the ministry, so why wait until ten months later? However, you, Zhao Zhenji, did not suggest to me at that time, but instead joined forces with Li Chunfang to take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Oh, Mr. Gao's use of a scholar and head of the ministry violates the ancestral teachings of the ancestral system, doesn't you, Zhao Zhenji, violate the ancestral teachings of the ancestral system as a scholar and the head of the Imperial Procuratorate?

Since I pinched my nose and promised to let you take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I just don't want you to talk about Mr. Gao and the head of the department, you are good now, you have to be cheap and behaved, you have to hold on to this matter, right?

Is it really that this emperor is muddy!

The emperor may not have a good way to deal with the entire civil bureaucracy, but for a specific official, there is a way. Therefore, Zhao Zhenji's accusation against Gao Gong this time, because he accidentally injured the emperor, the emperor decided that he couldn't bear it anymore, and sent Zhao Zhenji home straightforwardly.

At this point, Li Chunfang knew that something was wrong, and finally learned the news through the eunuch of the inner court, and knew the real reason for the emperor's sudden anger, and immediately sat on the wax.

The matter of Zhao Zhenji also being in charge of the Imperial Procuratorate was indeed mentioned by him to the emperor in person after he discussed it with Zhao Zhenji. At that time, because Gao Gong had just recovered and held such a heavy power, the emperor did not want too much opposition in the court, and the emperor welcomed Zhao Zhenji's move of actually sharing the firepower faced by Gao Gong, and immediately agreed.

However, Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji misjudged the situation, thinking that the emperor himself felt that Gao Gong's power was too heavy and that someone needed to check and balance it, so they elated and felt that the plan was successful, so they didn't think much about it. Now it seems that it is simply ridiculous - in the eyes of the emperor, I am afraid that everyone in the world will betray him, and Gao Gong will not fail him.

Therefore, Li Chunfang immediately resigned, but because Longqing still asked him to carry a cauldron that might appear, he refused to approve it until now.

Gao pragmatic looked at the information in his hand, calculated the time when he had completed all the tributes, and knew that Li Chunfang's departure was close at hand.

At this time, Gao Jue suddenly hurriedly came over, saying that Gao Ge had a letter from the elder, and specially explained that it was not the imperial court post road, but Gao Gong sent it day and night through Gao Shishi's riders who stayed in Beijing instead of changing horses.

Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to slack off, checked the fire paint, and immediately took it apart to see.
