Gao Gong really wants to go home now.

In fact, logically speaking, Gao Gong's homecoming, for the people in the court today, as long as Gao Gong is not in the same party, it is a happy thing.

However, in fact, now Gao Gong has been determined to be expelled from the capital, but Feng Bao is actually the only one who can laugh three times to express his happiness, and the others, whether they are neutrals who don't pay much attention to Gao Gong, or those who have gaps with Gao Gong, or even those who have suffered a lot at Gao Gong's hands, are actually not particularly happy.

Perhaps, Gao Gong's current encounter seems to let them see their future selves.

In fact, think about it from another angle, if one of these people sits in a high arch position, what will happen, the cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty is not easy to do, and the people who sit in that position, there are a few who are not hated, and a few will not use means to rectify others.

The reason why Gao Gong will push the wall down now, is that Gao Gong's actions are too extreme, but in fact, from the point of view, Gao Gong is no different from other people, and it can even be said that Gao Gong is so clear that he wants to let whoever he wants to go, although it is too arrogant, but all the actions of Gao Gong attacking others are all on the surface, never concealed, in other words, Gao Gong wants you to die, and you want to die clearly.

But when Xu Jie was in power, he didn't play such a set, these things of Gao Gong, in Xu Jie's era, were all pediatrics, Xu Jie's work was calm, and he was also very tolerant as an official.

But Xu Jie's forbearance has developed into a conspiracy after that, if you are targeted by Xu Jie, when he starts to yin you, you will not be able to notice it at all, and even in the end, you have lost your position, I am afraid that you may not be able to know that it was Xu Jie's harm to you, Xu Jie's smile will talk to you, expressing regret, and you don't know the reason at all.

It's just that later, Xu Jie's actions began to gradually become domineering, and his set of things has long been familiar to everyone, although the ministers still don't know what tricks Xu Jie's tricks are, but as long as they see Xu Jie's smile at themselves, they should definitely be vigilant.

In short, now that Gao Gong has been expelled home, this can be said to be a good thing for both the court and the Ming Dynasty, of course, this is just the right thing and not the right person.

Because what Zhu Yijun said was to leave Beijing on the same day, Gao Gong, who had unloaded his official position, was not allowed to stay in the capital for more, but because he was expelled from the capital, not to return to his hometown, the treatment on the way back was naturally different.

At the beginning, Xu Jiezhishi returned to his hometown, and there were chariots and horses to accompany him in the court, but now, the situation of Gao Gong is much worse.

Later records, said that when Gao Gong left Beijing, it was "the firewood car is the road", but in fact it is not the case, anyway, Gao Gong is a bachelor who was once the first assistant of the cabinet, although the people who were expelled from the capital are treated much worse, and there will be no escort to accompany them, but a carriage or something is naturally wanted, but this situation compared to others, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gao Gong is "the firewood car is the road".

Although he was expelled, there are still many people who come to say goodbye to Gao Gong today.

Guo Pu is one, although he also expressed his intention to the Empress Dowager Li on the spot on the top of the main hall yesterday, and the Empress Dowager Li also agreed, but he is a normal retirement, and the work is naturally to be handed over, so it is impossible for him to leave with Gao Gong, who has the emperor's order, today.

However, Guo Pu did not have any sadness, first, he and Gao Gong were fellow villagers, and now although one of the two was expelled, one was Zhishi, but the same thing is that both of them are fine, and after Guo Pu goes back, the two can still meet and reminisce.

Second, to be honest, Guo Pu thinks that the two of them are now so ended, it's not bad, with Guo Pu being an official for decades, he didn't have to be with Gao Gong, after Gao Gong left, he could continue to stay in Beijing as an official, but Guo Pu didn't want that, he was also a person of affection, although Gao Gong had done a lot of improper and unbright things in the past two years, but who called the two of them like-minded at the beginning, since they stood together, they had to advance and retreat together.

Moreover, in Guo Pu's opinion, it is quite good to get rid of such a thing, this court is too capable of making people change, just look at Gao Gong's current temperament and fate can be understood, and Guo Pu is afraid that he will become like that.

Other people are more miscellaneous, people with any official positions, but most of them are people who have a bad relationship with the high arch, but those who were once attached to the high arch of the door, now there is no one, now the high arch has fallen after all, these people who are just pursuing temporary profits, naturally will not come to rely on the high arch This has fallen down the big tree, from now on it can be seen that the human affection is warm and cold, and, it is estimated that even if these people want to come now, they can't come, the high arch has fallen, These people who have helped Gao Gong do so many hurtful things are worried about whether someone will punish them at the moment, first of all, Feng Bao will not let them go easily, and now they are already worried about their future fate, how can they still come here to see off Gao Gong.

And there are others, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan, the master and apprentice.

But Gao Gong is completely different from Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Fan, the master and apprentice.

Logically speaking, yesterday in the imperial court, Zhang Juzheng did not speak, nor did he stand up to impeach Gao Gong for anything, after Zhu Yijun announced Gao Gong's "death sentence", but Zhang Juzheng stepped forward to help Gao Gong, who could no longer stand up.

And Zhang Fan was the first person to stand up and shoot at Gao Gong in the main hall yesterday, and the impeachment of Gao Gong was a big event, a big event that was enough to make Gao Gong go home, and it was because of Zhang Fan's beginning yesterday that those who were still hesitating to speak rose up and stood up to impeach Gao Gong.

Therefore, according to this, today's Gao Gong should leave the smiling face to Zhang Juzheng, and then speak ill of Zhang Fan, but in fact, Gao Gong's attitude towards the two is completely reversed.

Coming here to see him off today, Zhang Juzheng originally wanted to go up and say a few words to Gao Gong, but he didn't expect that as soon as he stood in front of Gao Gong, Gao Gong immediately looked at him with a pair of disdainful eyes, snorted coldly, and then turned around without waiting for Zhang Juzheng to speak.

Gao Gong did this, which made Zhang Juzheng very embarrassed, but Zhang Juzheng obediently stepped aside and stopped talking.

Subsequently, Zhang Fan stood in front of Gao Gong.

Facing Zhang Fan, Gao Gong not only didn't say anything bad, but also didn't snort coldly and turned around to ignore him, but was a little speechless.

Although Gao Gong faced Zhang Fan, his eyes were a little chaotic, but Zhang Fan was looking at Gao Gong, but overnight, Gao Gong seemed to be ten years old, Gao Gong before yesterday, although he was nearly sixty years old, but he was full of energy, whether he wanted to rectify people, or after showing any talent, he was completely middle-aged.

However, today's high arch looks like a seventy-year-old child, except that the back has not been bent, it is completely an old dragon clock.

"Master Gao, why are you so spiritless," Zhang Fan said, "The contemptible person is here now," After speaking, Zhang Fan stood for a long time, as if waiting for something.

"You ......" Gao Gong looked at Zhang Fan, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Seeing Gao Gong like this, Zhang Fan was a little puzzled: "What, doesn't Lord Gao scold me?"

"The old man doesn't dare to be an adult," although Gao Gong still looked unforgiving, but between Zhang Fan's words, the tone became stable, "Scold you, scold you, scold you for saving the old man's life,"

"What are these words, Lord Gao," Zhang Fan still called Gao Gong like this, "Zhang Fan understands in his heart that Lord Gao doesn't want to see me, not to mention that yesterday, it was Zhang Fan who impeached the Lord at the beginning, and how could he say that he saved the adult's life,"

"Hmph," Gao Gong looked at Zhang Fan with disdain, and said, "Although the old man has been expelled from the capital now, the old man has been an official in the capital for dozens of years.

"Hehe," hearing Gao Gong's words, Zhang Fan touched his nose a little embarrassed and laughed.

"However, the old man didn't understand it until just now, when he saw you and Zhang Juzheng's house coming together," Gao Gong continued, admitting that he had only thought about it soon, this was not like Gao Gong's previous style, "Being expelled from the capital, to be honest, the old man was also very disappointed, but last night the old man figured it out, this is an inevitable situation, Feng Bao is still of great use to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, but it is me, a rampant old man, I am afraid that it has become an eyesore in the eyes of many people, the old man understands in his heart, this is the old man's own doing, Sooner or later, it will be like this, and I can't blame others.

"But speaking of you, to be honest, until just now, I thought that you would be the first to stand up and impeach the old man yesterday, in fact, to make Zhang Juzheng's guy cause less trouble, after all, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the impeachment of the people is what you have to do, but just now, when the old man saw you and Zhang Juzheng's guy together, he suddenly thought in his mind, you did that yesterday, you wanted to make sure that Zhang Juzheng's guy was fake, and it was true that you wanted to save the old man,"

"I don't know where Master Gao got such an absurd truth, Zhang Fan is going to listen to it," Zhang Fan saw that Gao Gong had debunked the trick he played yesterday, and he was not embarrassed, but looked curious and taught.

"Before the old man says, the old man wants to ask you," Gao Gong said, "You knew in advance what would happen yesterday,"

In this regard, Zhang Fan did not deny it and nodded.

"I'll ask you again," Gao Gong continued, "Originally, what fault should the old man have made?"

When Gao Gong asked this, Zhang Fan was a little difficult to answer, after all, Feng Bao's impeachment of Feng Bao to Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Yijun the day before yesterday was too exciting.

Seeing Zhang Fan's embarrassed appearance, Gao Gong knew that it would not be good, but he still said: "There is no need to be like this, no matter what, the old man is already like this now, what do you have to say, but it doesn't matter, the old man doesn't want to hear lies in the future," Gao Gong's words were very calm, but the sentence "I don't want to hear lies in the future" contains too much.

Seeing Gao Gong say this, Zhang Fan no longer hesitated, looked around, and whispered to Gao Gong: "According to Feng Bao, Lord Gao, you are dissatisfied with the new emperor, and you intend to abolish the new emperor and support the king of Henan Zhou, and Lord Gao, you will also get the title of the prince of the country,"

Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Gao Gong was not surprised, but sneered again and again: "Feng Bao's eunuch really looks up to the old man,"

"It's just that yesterday, the edict came down, but it was replaced by turning over old accounts," Zhang Fan said this, thought about it, and continued, "I'm afraid that even the Queen Mother also thinks that it is too false to put that kind of thing on the head of the tall man,"

"However, Feng Bao's eunuch always wanted to kill the old man," Gao Gong said, "It's just that he never thought that he would kill you so much, no, I'm afraid he won't feel that you saved me yesterday,"

"Zhang Fan still doesn't understand, why is Master Gao so sure that Zhang Fan saved you," Zhang Fan still refused to admit it.

"You ......" Gao Gong looked at Zhang Fan and said, "Yesterday, the things mentioned in the edict are nothing more than things like the old man's corruption and cronyism, and the biggest thing is that sentence that is not good to His Majesty, so yesterday, if the people in the hall wanted to impeach the old man, they could only follow the edict, and they would definitely not go outside."

"And you are the first to stand up and speak, and the first two things are almost the most important things that the old man has done in the past two years, you say these things, let the other people who stand up say anything, the people who are made down by the old man, although the old man's means are disgraceful, but the court has already recognized it, and what the old man did before, most of them are trivial things, and in the end, whether it is the queen mother, especially the young majesty, will feel that the old man in addition to the few things you said, It's not a big deal.

"Moreover, no matter how the Queen Mother and Feng Bao's eunuch discuss, the last person to speak must be Your Majesty, but you were the crown prince back then, and now you are the prince, Your Majesty's thoughts are the clearest, I'm afraid these have already been calculated,"

"Master Gao is really wise," was completely recognized by Gao Gong's plan, Zhang Fan did not show embarrassment, but instead praised Gao Gong, "I didn't expect this to be seen through by Lord Gao,"

"Hmph, little child's mind, how can the old man not know," Gao Gong said quite proudly, "Playing with the old man, you are still very bad,"

"But ......" Immediately, Gao Gong showed a worried look again, looked at Zhang Juzheng, who was talking to others in the distance, and said, "You are not afraid that Zhang Juzheng will see it,"

"If it is on weekdays, Zhang Fan is naturally worried," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "But for today's teacher, Zhang Fan is not worried at all, now that the tall man has left, the position of the first assistant of the cabinet is vacant, I think it will be taken over by the teacher, and there will be a lot of things to do at that time, I am afraid that when the teacher is idle, this matter will have been forgotten long ago."

"And Feng Bao doesn't have to worry about it, now he's probably busy dealing with those people under the tall man,"

"Those people are just people who tend to be inflammatory, they can use it if they can use it, and the old man is not worried about what will happen, except for one person in this court, the rest of the people The old man doesn't pay attention to it at all," Speaking of this, Gao Gong turned his head to look at Guo Pu on the side, "But now, there is nothing to worry about the old man,"

"But then again," Gao Gong turned his head to Zhang Fan again, "Why do you want to save the old man,"

"This ...... The reason is still in the teacher," Zhang Fan mentioned Zhang Juzheng, "Although now, the teacher still looks the same as before, but I think the teacher has changed a lot now, maybe I'm blindly worried, but anyway, the gap between the tall man and me is not big,"

"You ......" After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Gao Gong stared at Zhang Fan for a long time, then nodded, and said to Zhang Fan slowly and quietly, "The first emperor really didn't look at the wrong person, what you think is not bad at all, your teacher is indeed talented, and he is also dedicated to the country and the people, but although the old man doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart, the old man can see that even if Zhang Juzheng has made any achievements in the future, or if he really does something great for the court and the world, he doesn't think he is using any good means,"

"This ...... This won't be," Zhang Fan was a little afraid to agree with Gao Gong's words.

"Could it be, I can't see it now," Gao Gong said with a confident look, "but in the future, you think you can find that the old man's words are right now,"

In the face of Gao Gong's words, Zhang Fan didn't know what to say at all, so he could only stand in a daze.

"Also, you plan to keep Feng Bao like this," Gao Gong continued, "The old man also has people in the palace, and he also knows what is happening in the palace.

"Now Gao Gong's eunuch can still be proud, after all, there is the edict of the first emperor, and more importantly, now there is the queen mother behind his back to support him, but you look at it, at most ten years, after all, Your Majesty will always have a day when he will be pro-government, and when that day comes, it will be time for Feng Bao to be unlucky,"

"What does Master Gao mean......" Zhang Fan already knew what Gao Gong wanted to say.

"You have a good relationship with Your Majesty," Gao Gong said, "but don't fall too deep, when the time comes, when the time comes, you will be broken, don't hesitate, otherwise, it won't be the end of the old man like this,"

After saying this, the time was up, Gao Gong was not polite to Zhang Fan, turned around and walked towards the extremely shabby carriage.

Leaving Zhang Fan alone, he stood in place and pondered for a long time,
