Xu Jie's Mansion.

"My lord, Gao Gong has been a grasshopper after the autumn for a few days, this time the army has a meritorious service in fighting Annan, and this Gao Gong's disciple Shen Chongming is also meritorious as a prison army. The so-called snake fight will not die will have consequences, Xia Guan thought that since we knocked down Gao Gong, he, a disciple, should not let go, it is best to catch them all. Ouyang Jing said with a humble face.

Xu Jie raised his eyebrows, and then remembered Shen Chongming, just thinking about dealing with Gao Gong, but he forgot about his student, if he didn't curb some of his abilities as soon as possible, he was afraid that it would be a big disaster in the future.

"Well, you can do it yourself." Xu Jie pretended to be indifferent and said, Ouyang Jingzhi was in a hurry, sneering in his heart, feng shui takes turns, the old man wants to see what tricks you Shen Chongming can play without Gao Gong behind his back.

"By the way, is the excerpt for the impeachment of Guo Pu ready?" Gao Gong and Guo Pu teamed up to boycott themselves in the cabinet, which made Xu Jie very angry, since they did it, neither of them could let go.

"Ready, the children of the Guo family have been rampant in the countryside for a long time, and the evidence of the crime has been collected almost in these days, and tomorrow the officials will organize people to start impeachment." Ouyang Jingzhi said with a smile, Xu Ge Lao is Xu Ge Lao, and he is also a big man, and he wants to take down all the two cabinet ministers in one go, which is much more powerful than Yan Ge Lao back then.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's take advantage of tomorrow's court meeting to settle the matter at one time, I heard Gonggong Feng in the palace say that the emperor already has the intention of letting Gao Gong resign and return to his hometown." Saying this, Xu Jie couldn't help but smile, arching and making enemies on all sides, how could he compete with himself.

"Yes, then the lower official will go back and prepare." Ouyang Jingzhi was even more happy, he had been in the position of the imperial envoy of the Imperial Court for nearly ten years, and this time the officialdom was shaken, and it was time to move.

The army returned to the division in victory, Annan came to pay tribute, no matter what is a major event, today's court meeting, all officials in Beijing with a rank of four or more need to participate, the main hall can not stand, just stay outside.

Shen Chongming, as a meritorious minister, although his title was not enough, he was also qualified to come, and he had been closely following Gao Gong, enduring the strange and contemptuous gazes around him.

Today is different from the past, even those neutral people dodge the high arch Guo Pu who fell behind in the party struggle, for fear that he would be remembered by Xu Ge Lao if he walked too close, and he was also classified into the high arch ** to be disposed of.

"Chongming, you know everything?" Seeing that Shen Chongming hadn't asked any questions, Gao Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was impossible for him not to feel strange in such a situation, and he hadn't asked himself the reason until now, he must have known what happened.

"Yes, the students know it." Shen Chongming's voice was a little low, although he had found a way to protect himself, but looking at the teacher where he could be comfortable in such a field now, you must know that Gao Gong has a lot of ambitions, and now he is just ready to deal with this devastated country when he encounters such a thing, where can he feel good in his heart.

"Hehe, do you think that you didn't think about it when you entered the old man's door at the beginning, this time it will definitely affect you." Gao Gong's face was bitter, and he had no possibility of winning the battle with Xu Jie, and now the only one who felt indebted was this student, and his good career was all ruined.

"Teachers, students have never regretted it. If it weren't for your care, the student would be just a penniless fool, and maybe he would still be living in the country. Shen Chongming looked at Gao Gong and smiled, without the slightest hint of contrivedness on his face.

Seeing him like this, Gao Gong was also happy in his heart, this disciple did not harvest in vain. "Hehe, it's very good that you can think like this for the teacher, you can rest assured, the teacher has already agreed with Master Guo, let him take care of you more in the future. When I leave Beijing, I will see the emperor again, and I will also intercede for you. Gao Gong looked at Shen Chongming kindly, Xu Jie is old after all, as long as Chongming can keep his official position, sooner or later he will soar into the sky.

"Hehe, the teacher can rest assured that if your student only knows how to sit still, then he is not worthy of being your student. The student had already thought of a way out, and Xu Ge couldn't do anything even if he wanted to do anything to the student. Shen Chongming said with a smile.

Gao Gong was stunned, couldn't help but show joy on his face, and said in a low voice: "Tell me, what is the way out?" "Cheng Guogong has already promised to recommend students to the Shenji Battalion to serve as admirals, even if those people have long arms, they are not capable of reaching out to the emperor's pro-army."

"Hehe, well done. It seems that the teacher is worried about it, there is Chengguo Gong to help you, and few people in the Ming Dynasty dare to do anything to you. Gao Gong patted Shen Chongming's shoulder and smiled.

Although he felt a little puzzled, Shen Chongming didn't ask in detail when he arrived, and said that it was Gao Gong and that the old man had deep qualifications in the army.

Three whips sounded, and all the qualified officials lined up and walked into the main hall, and Shen Chongming, the five-rank official, could only wait outside the hall to be summoned.

First of all, the Annan envoys came to see him, and it took half an hour, and Shen Chongming, who was outside after what happened during the period, did not know, but just watched the Annan envoys walk out with a happy face, and knew that it must be a good thing, and it is very likely that Emperor Longqing was defeated again and rewarded the subject country with the property.

"The emperor has an order, the Xuandu Procuratorate is the chief of the political department, and Shen Chongming will be sent to supervise the military affairs of the southern army!" With a high chant, Shen Chongming ran briskly towards the steps.

"Wechen knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Ten steps into the hall, Shen Chongming lifted up his shirt and knelt on the ground.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Shen Chongming, who supervised military affairs, made many military exploits in the war to conquer the south, was loyal to the country, and was specially promoted to the rank of fourth-grade guerrilla general, transferred to the post of commander of the Shenji Battalion, and gave another war horse and a pair of treasure armor, Qin this!" Since the death of Emperor Jiajing, although he is still the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the seal of the seal, but without the favor of the new emperor, it is all declining, and people have become old and decrepit.

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen." Shen Chongming breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect his old man to be so efficient, so he got his own things done overnight.

He was relieved, but Xu Jie, Ouyang Jingzhi and the others were stunned for a moment, and they actually went to serve in the Shenji Battalion, so it would not be easy to catch the evidence of his crime or to frame the blame, and it would be even more difficult for others in the Shenji Battalion, who couldn't even interfere with Jinyiwei.

But he is just a small person, the main purpose of this great court meeting Xu Jie's main purpose is to take the high arch, as long as the high arch is dismissed and returned to his hometown, then no one in the entire court can compete with him.

Thinking about it, he glanced sideways at Ouyang Jingzhi who was diagonally behind, and the old man Ouyang immediately understood, and walked out of the column without thinking.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music." As soon as he saw Ouyang Jingzhi like this, Emperor Longqing felt that one head and two were big, this matter had been tossed for almost two months, and it was really annoying to listen to them quarrel every day.

But as a monarch who wanted to make a difference, Emperor Longqing couldn't directly drink him back, but waved his hand with a displeased face and said, "Speak." ”

Ouyang Jingzhi didn't care about the emperor's face, and opened his mouth and said: "Weichen impeached the cabinet minister, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Gao Gong. Gao Gong is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the etiquette law should be an example for the people of the world, but Gao Gong not only did not do this, but he went home for the night many times when the cabinet was on duty, even when the first emperor was seriously ill and could not deal with the government affairs. This kind of action is a big rebellion, and it is really a negative for the first emperor to promote and reuse. ”

This is a repeat of the same old tune, Emperor Longqing just sat there and looked up at the roof of the main hall. Tsk, this group of dog minions, there is so much dust, they don't even know how to clean it properly, it seems that they will have to be reprimanded when they go down later.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Ouyang Jingzhi didn't care, and continued: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, Gao Gong has relied on the holy favor and the power in his hands to cronyism, and the subordinate division of the Ministry of Rites, Bingzheng Wang Siming, and others have been promoted several times. At the same time, we have repeatedly slandered our inspector officials, and so far we have belittled seven people, four of whom have been demoted and retained, and three have been deprived of their official posts and assigned to the frontier! Speaking of this, Ouyang Jingzhi hated it so much, and one of the people who was degraded was his right-hand man Hu Yingjia, and the poor child took the lead in impeaching Gao Gong on the third day when he was deprived of his official position by the Ministry of Officials on the charge of accepting bribes, and he was sent to the Liaoning garrison in one go, but I am afraid that he is still suffering on the road.

"So, do you have incriminating evidence? If you say nothing, don't blame me for your sin of sitting back! "I have to say that Emperor Longqing is very dependent on Gao Gong, although some let him go home to avoid the limelight, but when he heard Ouyang Jingzhi say this, he was still angry.

"This ......" Where can Ouyang Jingzhi have evidence of guilt, officialdom accepting bribes is an open secret, no one's butt is clean, it is nothing for everyone to be safe and sound in normal times, once they get into a fight, they will be checked accurately. Hu Yingjia was annoyed by Gao Gong because of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he became the chicken that Gao Gong killed the chicken to show the monkey, and it was found that he accepted bribes of nearly 3,000 taels of silver, which is also a large amount, and he could sit in three clans in a row during the Taizu period.

"Your Majesty, Weichen can testify. Gao Gong Guo Pu and the two have a close relationship, and the current Qing official Shi Lang is Guo Pu's student. "Boss Xu Jie, when he stepped out, all the officials saw the direction of the wind and immediately seconded it, and the court became a one-sided situation.

As a party concerned, Gao Gong has never spoken to refute, and at this time, he just looked at Guo Pu with the same expression next to him with a surprised face, and this fire actually burned on him!

Guo Pu's face was full of helplessness, although he couldn't get used to Xu Jie, but Gao Gong and Xu Jie's struggle never came forward to participate, at most he only secretly helped the foil. It's just that I didn't expect Xu Jie to be so ruthless, and now he actually wants to defeat himself together.

Guo Pu is very self-aware, although he entered the cabinet earlier than Gao Gong. But when he was born at the wrong time, first the Yan family and his son monopolized the power, and then the Xu Jie family was dominant. Although he carries the name of a cabinet minister, he is actually not as powerful as the six books. And Gao Gong is different, the current emperor of King Yu is his student, a veritable emperor, such an identity and relationship with the emperor are not far behind Xu Jie. The reason why he lost to Xu Jie this time was just that his qualifications were still shallow, and if he waited for a few years, Xu Jie would not be his opponent.

Now that the high-arched building is about to fall, Xu Jie pointed the finger at himself again, and he has no power to fight back, so he can only let it be slaughtered.

Sighing helplessly, Guo Pu smiled bitterly at Gao Gong, this time this fellow is really good, and he can return to his hometown together.
