Long Qing agreed to Li Chunfang's invitation.

At this moment, the civil and military officials above the court have a good show, this is not because of Li Chunfang, after all, what happened yesterday, Li Chunfang's departure has almost become inevitable, and there is nothing to talk about.

An hour ago, the main topic of the discussion among the officials was what kind of way Li Chunfang would leave, that is, to return to his hometown in a beautiful manner, with a halo of honor on his head; Or was he impeached by the high-arched party, and finally left with a body of guilt.

Now that the matter has been cleared, because Longqing is very obviously sheltered, let Li Chunfang, who stood up at the same time as Guo Pu and was ready to speak, speak first, which took the lead, and naturally he could occupy the biggest advantage, and Li Chunfang succeeded.

And now, Gao Gong has no way to do this, after all, Longqing has already allowed Li Chunfang to be a scholar, and it is beautiful, what he is saying now is useless, and if Gao Gong stands up and argues about something now, it is obvious that this is a question of imperial power, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be impeached against Li Chunfang, but it will be self-defeating, and then he will get into trouble, as long as it is a normal person who understands the truth, Gao Gong was pulled by Guo Pu's arm and calmed down, how could he not understand.

Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, then the eyes should be looked ahead, and there are other things to consider in the high arch.

At this moment, when the ministers saw Gao Gong standing up again, they all thought that he was unhappy and planned to continue to impeach Li Chunfang, at this time, everyone in the court showed a good look, in the eyes of these people, Gao Gong stood up at this time, and he must have come out and Longqing because he was unhappy about what happened just now, but this time, Guo Pu did not try to stop him.

Today's high arch is indeed very powerful, when the dynasty is the largest, one person under ten thousand people, as long as the hundred officials in the court are not with the high arch to stand in the same camp of the people, more or less take into account today's high arch, but now, the high arch is facing the Longqing Emperor under one person, for such a situation, the hundred officials naturally have a good mood to see the show.

"Gao Aiqing, what do you have to do," Long Qing saw Gao Gong standing up and asked, but obviously Long Qing also thought the same as the civil and military officials standing below, thinking that Gao Gong stood up at this time to find fault, after all, he was the emperor, and no emperor would think it was appropriate to dare to have a minister who put forward a different opinion on the decision he had just made, so when Long Qing asked Gao Gong, his voice was cold, and his face was definitely not good.

When the ministers next to them saw Longqing talking like this, they all had expressions that were really like this, and many people also showed more expectant expressions on their faces, clearly wanting to know how the play between Longqing and Gao Gong would be played below.

Gao Gong looked very calm, unhurried or impatient, as if he didn't notice the threat and unkindness in Long Qing's words just now.

"Your Majesty," Gao Gong said, "Lord Li has been an official in the court for decades, conscientious and conscientious, and now because of his advanced age, His Majesty allows him to return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life, and Wei Chen is very sorry that he can no longer be an official in the same court with Lord Li in the future, but I also want to congratulate Lord Li here,"

Speaking of this, Gao Gong turned to face Li Chunfang, clasped his hands into fists and bowed down and said: "Gao is here to congratulate Lord Li on his successful retirement, decades of ups and downs, for the court, Your Majesty, for the people of the world, diligently, and please Lord Li to accept Gao Gong and bow,"

Above the court, seeing Gao Gong's action, almost everyone was stunned, Long Qing, who was sitting alone on the throne, didn't expect Gao Gong to sit like this, and looked at him with a very wooden expression; The civil and military officials below also didn't expect Gao Gong to be like this, and they were all stunned; And Li Chunfang himself would not have thought that Gao Gong would come out like this now, and he didn't know what to do if he stayed there.

Only a few people present can know the reason why Gao Gong did this and did not show any different expressions, Guo Pu, the follower of Gao Gong, he obviously already knew Gao Gong's intentions, so Gao Gong is doing this now, he has always been indifferent, and for Zhang Fan and Ge Shouli, who have already calculated today, although at the beginning, they were indeed suppressed by Gao Gong's actions, but the two of them did not stand for a long time before returning to their original appearance, They had already figured out Gao Gong's thoughts, although Gao Gong's action just now made them stunned, but it didn't take long for them to figure out Gao Gong's plan.

Li Chunfang was stunned in place, and he didn't move for a long time, and Gao Gong was really polite to the extreme this time, Li Chunfang didn't speak, he kept bending over and bowing there with his fists in his fists, and he didn't move.

Li Chunfang, who came back to his senses, saw that Gao Gong was still like this, and he couldn't be indifferent, so he hurriedly walked in front of Gao Gong, helped him up, and said: "Gao Daren please get up quickly, although Li has been in the court for decades, he is extremely mediocre, and he has not made any achievements on weekdays, how can he afford Gao Da to be like this, get up quickly,"

Gao Gong was not hypocritical, and stood up like this with the false support of Li Chunfang's hands, but after standing up, everyone found that Gao Gong had an expression of disbelief, and said: "Why should Lord Li be arrogant, not to mention Lord Li's achievements over the years, just by virtue of Lord Li's decades of time, there has never been a mistake, this is really my role model,"

He didn't mention what Li Chunfang had done right, but he specifically said that Li Chunfang had never done anything wrong, which is simply to say that Li Chunfang has been an official for decades is simply a mediocre and mediocre official, although he has no merits, but he is not at fault, he is not bad, but he is not good, I am afraid that no one wants to hear this kind of evaluation.

However, whether it was Li Chunfang or other ministers, although they knew that Gao Gong's words were sarcastic words to Li Chunfang, no one had such thoughts.

Since there was a dynasty, a ruler, and a courtier, there have always been officials in the world who are not greedy for ink, not the party and the masses, and not power, and there are many in every dynasty and every generation, but even if there are people who are so honest and honest, and have clean sleeves, they will soon be swallowed up by the general trend, and there will be no residue left, and in the end there is only such a road as being forgotten.

Today, like Li Chunfang, there are definitely no longer a few people who are silent on weekdays and recuperate to avoid disasters.

It stands to reason that this kind of official, this kind of official who has no achievements, cannot win the favor and trust of the emperor and thus get a high position, but if all the officials are greedy today, the bad ones are everywhere, and the good ones are hard to find with lanterns, Li Chunfang, a person who has no achievements but no faults, has become a model for officials in the world.

In a way, Gao Gong's words are not wrong at all.

"Master Gao has an overreputation," Li Chunfang didn't intend to refute this time, but admitted it according to Gao Gong's words.

When Gao Gong turned his face to Longqing again, Li Chunfang stood back again.

Seeing that Gao Gong was about to speak again, Zhang Fan and Ge Shouli looked at Li Chunfang, and they were quite aware in their hearts, and Li Chunfang also nodded slightly to the two, indicating that he understood.

Gao Gong's actions, it seems to be a grudge, for Li Chunfang, who has decided to go home and no longer be able to threaten him, Li Chunfang put down his grievances and reconciled as before, but Zhang Fan They understand very psychologically, maybe the previous Gao Gong, to be precise, ten years ago Gao Gong would be such a character, but now Gao Gong, now this Gao Gong who has revenge and revenge must be ruthless will never do this, he will be like this now, it must have its purpose.

As for what kind of purpose Gao Gong has, although Zhang Fan and they are not sure, they are very different when they think about it.

In the confrontation between Gao Gong and Li Chunfang just now, because of Longqing's favoritism, he had already lost the opportunity, and now, Gao Gong did this in order to take the lead in his own hands again.

Gao Gong's first opportunity is not as simple as impeaching Li Chunfang, impeaching Li Chunfang regardless of whether he succeeds or not, except that he can feel happy for a while, and then let others know that no matter who provokes him, Gao Gong will not have a good end, and there is no substantial benefit to himself, and the opportunity that Gao Gong really wants to seize is the opportunity to promote officials to enter the cabinet that will have vacancies.

"Your Majesty, although it seems a little unreasonable to mention this matter now, but things in the DPRK and China are very busy, and some things still need to be planned in advance," Gao Gong said, "Now that Lord Li is about to leave his post, there will also be a vacant position in this cabinet, the cabinet is His Majesty's auxiliary government, and its responsibilities are very important, and it must not be vacant for another day, this candidate must still make plans early,"

Gao Gong's words came out, and the civil and military officials below all understood, knowing what Gao Gong's kindness to Li Chunfang was for, his calculation was to sell Li Chunfang a favor, if Long Qing asked about the personal election, the first person to ask was Li Chunfang, who was about to leave, and the candidate Li Chunfang said was also the most likely to become the person who replaced him.

In the eyes of others, Gao Gong's plan has almost succeeded, Li Chunfang has always been a good talker, Gao Gong was so polite just now, it seems that Li Chunfang is probably going to hand over the first hand of this recommended candidate to Gao Gong.

"That's right," Sure enough, Long Qing agreed with Gao Gong's words, turned his head to Li Chunfang and asked, "Li Aiqing, who do you see can replace you?"

When the officials heard Longqing's culture, they all turned their eyes to Li Chunfang, waiting for him to speak, and at this time, the high arch who was standing in the center of the hall walked away, and he even had a smile on his face.
