As the old saying goes, "There are no tigers in the mountains." The monkey reigns supreme. "There are some scenes like this in the court now. The emperor of Longqing is gone. But as for which monkey can dominate. It's hard to figure out. Actually, let's talk about it. Even before. Longqing, the emperor, was still able to go to court every day. He doesn't really like to be in charge of things very much. And there are many people below who want to be the overlord. It's just that these people are not convinced by each other.

Now Longqing can't take care of things if he wants to. The ministers had nothing to say about it. Of course. Except for a little. That is, although he knew that Longqing was sick now. Those who are sick can't go to court. But these are ministers. I still have to get out of bed every morning. Then he came to the Emperor's Palace in the dark. And they had to wait until the eunuchs in the harem came and told them clearly. There is no morning pilgrimage today. They can leave. This makes many people feel a little unhappy. But that's how it should be. There is no way. After all, who can say for sure what is going on in this world. It would be nice if one day Longqing suddenly came. It's early to come. If anyone doesn't arrive. That's a problem. Besides. Even if Longqing doesn't come. How could those imperial historians who had been eyeing them all day long let them go.

In a word. In the court today. Although there is no Longqing, the emperor is here. But because of this special regime of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that the emperor is the same whether he is in court or not. The political affairs of the DPRK and China did not have any slackness because Longqing did not come to the court. Everything is going according to plan.

Of course. Not everything is going to make you feel comfortable. If it was in the past. The emperor fell ill and retired. This kind of thing happens from time to time. But there is a point. Some excerpts still need to be approved by the emperor himself. But that's no longer the case. At that time, everyone heard the oracle from the eunuch in the Imperial Palace. All the excerpts turned out to be approved by the celebrant of ceremonies.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been a celebrant supervisor. For so many years. Countless people who have entered the cabinet to pay their respects to the prime minister are all very dissatisfied with this. It is believed that the eunuchs of the celebrant have stolen the power. It is long overdue for a ban. But as long as it is a person who has entered the official career. And who doesn't understand. The celebrant is in the end. It is only on behalf of the imperial power to exercise the power of approving red. Ultimately. They were just helping the emperor with government affairs. It's not that this power is usurped. Besides. If the celebrant dares to criticize the red without authorization. The Cabinet also has the power to dismiss. And eunuchs who criticize red without authorization will also be in big trouble. So. Ultimately. The reason why the cabinet hates the celebrant is not that these are not the reasons that are not at all true. The only thing is. The celebrant had the power to conceal some excerpts that some people did not want the emperor to see. Or postpone for a while. That's the point of contention.

But it's different now. It was clearly stated in the oracle that was handed down. All the excerpts during this period were approved by the celebrant and the celebrant of ceremonies. It's simply a piece to make the cabinet. Especially the high arch. A decision that is absolutely unacceptable. But nowadays. This is how things turned out. There's no way around it. Along with Longqing's dictation, there was also a directive. That is, Longqing will not receive any ministers at all. That's it. These ministers can't even get in. It also cut off a path to verification.

Verify what. Of course, it was to verify whether the oracle was true or false. Good to know. Whether it is a written decree. It was also dictated by the emperor and passed down. All of them are recorded in the palace. for future queries. But now there's a problem. It is a backup of these oracles. It's not that easy to see. The Emperor's consent must be obtained.

And so it goes. Now it's stuck in a dead end. The ministers were skeptical of this message. I would like to ask for a certificate. However, verification must be done with Longqing's consent. However. It is now very evident in the oracle. During this time, there will be no meeting with any ministers who have requested an audience. It's a bit of an inconsistency. But it happened anyway. And it happened very naturally.

The rest of the people were fine. After all, not all of them have a deep enemy. You need to find an opportunity to slander him in front of Long Qing every moment. But this makes some people very unhappy. One of the most typical representatives. Naturally, it's a high arch.

High arch is now angry. It's understandable. Long Qing is gone. And the folds are all submitted to the celebrant for approval. Although it is said that the Cabinet of Ministers is dismissed by the powers. But Long Qing was not there. Naturally, the rejected recitals will be returned to the celebrant again. And then. The two sides began a tug-of-war. And. It is recommended by a high arch. Served as the celebrant of the eunuch who held the seal of the eunuch's lunge. It's also because I don't know self-love. And Feng Bao, who had coveted that position for a long time, found an opportunity. Seized that position.

And Feng Bao. First. He is standing on the opposite side of the high arch. the people on Zhang Juzheng's side; Second. There is a gap between Feng Bao and the high arch itself. And it's not small. In this way. Originally, because he did not win a vacant seat in the cabinet. And let Gao Yi, who had just been pulled into Zhang Juzheng's side, seize that position. Gone are the advantages that the high arch used to occupy in the cabinet. How can this situation not make Gao Gong a little crazy.

But a high arch is a high arch after all. will always carry his very special personality from ordinary people. If an ordinary person stands in a high arch position. This kind of thing happened. Then needless to say. During this time, he will inevitably be a man with his tail between his legs. Less trouble. Wait until you've spent this time.

However, the high arch is different. Even at such times as being extremely unfavorable for it. He still has to fight for everything he does. Now every time. In the Cabinet. For things that you identify with. But it is not recognized by others. The high arch will definitely jump out and make its point. If anyone dares to disagree. He'd reason with the man. It's just that his theories almost always turn into a big fight.

Merely. No one is going to provoke the high arch too much these days. Everybody knows. Today's Korea. Zhang Juzheng has an absolute advantage. There is no doubt about that. The high arch is now no matter how much it is messing around. In the end, there is no way. After all, there are six cabinet ministers in the cabinet. There are two people on Zhang Juzheng's side. There are two people on the high arch side. The remaining two are in a neutral zone. But comparatively. The two of them are still closer to Zhang Juzheng. They can't stand Gao Gong's temperament.

Zhang Fan naturally knew about these situations in the DPRK and China today. However, he never publicly expressed any opinion on this. He believes. In the middle of the court. Same with him. There are definitely not a few people who treat today's high arch as a clown jumping beam.

Zhang Fan has been proud of the spring breeze recently. Although the word spring breeze has long been applied to him by the ministers of the court. But the recent Zhang Fan is. It's a little more proud.

Why. Because he is now. The only one who has free access to the palace. After all, he has the waist card given by Long Qingqin. He also has the responsibility of teaching the prince. And. The other ministers also wanted the eunuchs in the inner palace to pay bribes during this time. Inquire about Ouchi's situation. Of course. The main thing is to find out about Longqing's situation. But. Almost every time. They could all hear Zhang Fan's name. Longqing is now recuperating. But he will also summon Zhang Fan to meet him from time to time. This is in this special period. It's a huge honor.

Because of this thing. Zhang Fan's value has risen a few points recently. It's not what he is worth in Longqing's eyes. That's already high. It's what he is worth in the minds of these ministers.

Recently, there have been more people who have started to go to Zhang Fan's mansion. And all of them found out whether Zhang Fan was at home and then went. And these people all came with things. This minister paid bribes to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was in charge of supervising the hundred officials. It's nothing new. But if you want to imagine Zhang Fan's situation. That's too little. And it's just that. Zhang Fan, the commander, is still very fair. At least for the past few days since he took office. Hardly any of them have been arrested. And Zhang Fan has been in charge of Jinyiwei for a long time. A record also appeared. That's the person who was caught by the brocade guard. And it is a person who has clearly committed many things. There will still be or come out. This is at an all-time high. It's almost impossible.

In a word. Now there are more people who are starting to go to Zhang Fan's house again. Naturally, these people understand. Zhang Fan doesn't need it. I don't bother to take their stuff either. So these people even came up with a clever trick. The people who went to Zhang Fan's house. Something sent. It's not for Zhang Fan's mother, Zhao. It was given to Zhang Fan's two children. Moreover. These people are even more advanced. The gift was never a priceless ornament. Most of them are not very expensive. However, most of them are practical products that can be used in daily life.

This made Zhang Fan a little embarrassed. If it's to give something valuable. He could still scare the men back with a glance. But when I send these things. It's not a bribe at all. It's just a giveaway for friends to visit each other. If not. Zhang Fan had to be. This would make you look too pretentious. It's even a little unkind. But if you accept it. Something is insignificant. It's not worth any more. That's a gift, too. It's also a piece of heart. It's also a favor. This favor has come out. Zhang Fan is naturally a little unable to save face.

But it was impossible for him to tell the real situation in the palace. In case let the high arch know. I don't know what's going to happen. Simply. Longqing is really good during this time. Although the body is empty. But the complexion looked much better. Every time someone comes to ask. Zhang Fan told him exactly what he saw. Never say anything else.
