Chapter 303: Coincidence and Coincidentality

The so-called "coincidence" has always had its force majeure, and things that can generally be called coincidences basically happen naturally, not because they are thought to be manipulated.

Of course, this is just the meaning of the word, but when it comes to society, or in the shopping mall, not in the court, almost no one will believe in the word "coincidence", and they will never believe in coincidences when it comes to those who have experienced strong winds and waves, but only believe that there must be a reason behind everything.

Gao Gong is such a person, he still remembers that when he first stepped into the official career, his heart was the same as many people, with the idea of serving the court and the emperor wholeheartedly and benefiting the people, plus his character was also very bold, and his thoughts at that time were also a little naïve.

But now if you ask Gao Gong about this question, he will tell you that there is absolutely no such thing as "planning things in people, success in heaven", anything in the current Gao Gong view, as long as you are fully prepared in advance, taking into account all aspects of the problem, then naturally there is no problem, and if there is really something that must be done according to the will of God, he will tell you, to you forcibly tamper with the will of God, the current Gao Gong is so simple and straightforward.

In fact, to put it simply, his temperament was also brought out by Xu Jie, before him, until Jiajing sat on the throne, although because of many years of officialdom, he became lazy, but at that time Gao Gong was still more casual, until that time, the moment Xu Jie impeached him for dereliction of duty, Gao Gong can be regarded as having tasted the most difficult days in his life, and therefore made his originally bold character become what it is now, the appearance has not changed, but the heart is more Shencheng state, This, in fact, is the most dangerous person.

Today's morning dynasty, Gao Gong got up very early and began to prepare, for today's morning court, he went to bed early last night, which also made his family feel very weird, although Gao Gong did not have to deal with affairs every day until late at night, but he would not rest so early.

Gao Gong's plan is to impeach Zhang Fan and Qi Jiguang in today's early court, and the content of his impeachment is naturally that the two of them face more than 10,000 Fusang enemy troops occupying Suzhou City, holding more powerful firearms than the enemy army, but they have no intention of attacking.

After all, according to the current form of the DPRK, if nothing else, the person who will cause trouble to him in the future is Zhang Fan, he is really not afraid that Zhang Juzheng can do anything, after all, he is the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet at this moment, and there is also Guo Pu by his side to help, and Zhang Juzheng is just a person, his voice alone is not very loud, and the rest of Li Chunfang, when there is nothing to do, he can still say a few words; If something trivial happens, then he will say "um" a few times at most, and he will never say anything; And if something big happens that requires an opinion, Li Chunfang will definitely not make any sound, unless the emperor asks him directly, otherwise he will always be too empty.

And the only person Gao Gong is worried about is Zhang Fan, of course, he is worried about Zhang Fan's reason is also very sufficient, first, this Zhang Fan is his Gao Gong's rival Zhang Juzheng's student, and now Zhang Fan is deeply favored by Longqing, and is the current prince Zhu Yijun's concubine, the relationship is also very good, in Gao Gong's view, this will of course hinder him.

Second, Zhang Fan's current identity, now Zhang Fan is in charge of Jinyiwei, although he is a champion and the identity of Lianzhong Sanyuan, but he is a literati after all, let a literati be in charge of Jinyiwei, it is not that there is nothing in the history before the Ming Dynasty, but those people can't do it for long, and Zhang Fan is a little different, he has now almost been favored by the current and next generations of emperors, and it is probably very rare to want him to be removed from his official position, and a few days ago, The news that Zhang Fan had cracked a difficult and extraordinarily large corruption case had been announced by Longqing, and seeing Longqing's excitement at that time, Gao Gong knew that Zhang Fan was going to stay in this position of real power for a long time in the command of Jinyi Weidu.

And this matter is not what he is most worried about, what he is worried about is that as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhang Fan has the right to meet Longqing alone, which can be said to be the right that all courtiers dream of, to meet the emperor alone, to express his thoughts to the emperor, but there is no enemy next to him to disturb and oppose, this kind of thing is really good.

And Zhang Fan worries Gao Gong not knowing this, another person, another person who has the right to meet the emperor alone, the current factory governor of the East Factory, Feng Bao, the relationship between him and Zhang Fan is also good, and now Feng Bao is not very old, you know, the factory governor of the East Factory, either did something that the emperor did not allow to be replaced, or it was his own reasons, old or dead or something, otherwise he would almost not replace this person.

In addition, Gao Gong also understood very well in his heart, the Meng Chong who recommended the position of the eunuch in the palm seal of his boss was not that material at all, and it was estimated that he did not have much time, but by that time, Gao Gong would no longer be able to find a eunuch who could compete with Feng Bao to recommend, in that case, the position of the eunuch in the palm seal belonged to Feng Bao, so that there were two people who could meet the emperor alone, and one of them, Zhang Fan, his teacher Zhang Juzheng had a gap with himself; And the two outsiders, Feng Bao directly has a grudge against himself, how can this not make Gao Gong worry.

Therefore, Gao Gong has planned for so long, if the Jiangnan side has not attacked Suzhou for a long time, he will impeach Zhang Fan and Qi Jiguang for delaying the fighter; And if Qi Jiguang orders a strong attack, there will definitely be many deaths and injuries, in his opinion, Qi Jiguang will never agree, and even then, he can impeach the two of them for using troops indiscriminately, and the deaths will be countless.

Moreover, he has considered the reaction of the court, he knows that Longqing will definitely oppose it, and he has already thought about it, using the great cause of his ancestors to suppress Longqing, so even Longqing, in the face of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, there is no way to protect Zhang Fan, and he must make some punishments for Zhang Fan, and about those punishments, Gao Gong has also made a plan to insert a few sentences, he knows that Longqing will definitely show mercy to his subordinates, and he will never allow such a thing to happen.

It's just that what he has to deal with is just Zhang Fan, Qi Jiguang is just a victim, after all, if he impeaches one alone, his intentions are too obvious, even if people can see it, Gao Gong still has to "hide people's eyes", so as to show that he is "selfless", this, in fact, anyone who is an official can do it, and everyone has done it.

All in all, Mei Zizi's high arch took the sedan chair to go to the court.

The early dynasties of the Ming Dynasty were actually quite distinctive, or the courtiers argued with each other, like a shocking war; Either it's dull to the extreme, dozens of people plus the emperor, not even a fart, and even sometimes, the emperor won't be there.

And since Longqing ascended the throne, in the past few years, the ministers have gradually understood the emperor's thoughts, although Longqing is very lustful, and his daily use is also very extravagant, but to put it simply, Longqing has always wanted to become a generation of Ming monarchs in his heart, and the courtiers below naturally want to cater to the emperor's thoughts.

It sounds ridiculous, and it's a little weird, but this matter is very simple, that is, in the early dynasty, no matter what trivial things there were, all of them were taken out and said, so that Longqing could come up with ideas and satisfy his kind of thoughts, but after four years of baptism, the ministers also mastered Longqing's character, and most of the things they said were trivial things that were related to national affairs, and they were all harmless things that were harmless whatever Longqing decided.

Today's early dynasty is no exception, at the beginning, someone reported that what happened in the country recently, like agriculture and the like, there is no problem, and then it is naturally abroad, the situation in the north is now stable, of course, stability is for the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars are now a melee, I replied with the help of the Ming Dynasty, a little bit of a big killing.

"By the way, there is news from Jiangnan, how is it over there now," Long Qing suddenly remembered this matter and asked.

Although it was a war, because there had been no news about it for several days, everyone had forgotten about it.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play," Gao Gong saw that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly stood out.

"Aiqing has something to do," Long Qing asked, his voice calm, he didn't expect Gao Gong to say anything shocking.

"The minister impeached Zhang Fan and Qi Jiguang, stood still, delayed the fighter plane, and sat back and watched the enemy occupy our Suzhou," Gao Gong said sonorously and forcefully.

At this moment, the ministers below exploded in an instant, and discussions began one after another, Gao Gong's impeachment this time came too suddenly, although what he said made some sense, but the ministers never thought that he would use this matter to impeach Zhang Fan, and the people present were not stupid, they also understood very well in their hearts, Qi Jiguang was just a victim.

"This ......" Long Qing heard him say this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty......" Gao Gong knew that the time for him to play had come again, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted by a shout outside the palace.

"Report ......" With this shout from far and near, a palace guard walked in.

On the spot, Gao Gong was upset when he interrupted his speech, and when he was about to shout and ask, the man spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the Jiangnan battle report is coming," the guard knelt in front of Long Qing and said.

"Say it quickly," Long Qing said hurriedly.

"In the great victory in Jiangnan, General Qi only lost less than 100 people, so he annihilated 6,000 enemies and captured more than 1,000 enemies," the guard also said with excitement on his face.

At this moment, the discussion in the court became louder, and more people looked at Gao Gong with the eyes of a joke, and Gao Gong, a face became even more iron-blue.
