Chapter 462: It's a foregone conclusion

"Zhang Aiqing, do you have anything else to say," Empress Dowager Li saw that Zhang Fan had finished breaking the news, but she didn't go back, she still stood still, and couldn't help asking.

And at this moment, Gao Gong's face was already like ashes, and his whole body was trembling like chaff, looking at him like that, even if he was kneeling there with his hands on the ground now, it seemed as if he might faint at any moment.

"Exactly," Zhang Fan said without changing his face and heartbeat, "Weichen still wants to impeach Gao Gong, take revenge without authority, reject disagreement, and nepotism,"

As soon as Zhang Fan's words came out, there was a little commotion again, Zhang Fan is good, in the past two years, in addition to going to Jiangnan, he personally took down a greedy eunuch Liu Shan, I am afraid that it is because of Feng Bao, and indirectly pulled down the incompetent Meng Chong, who was sitting in the position of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the celebrant at that time, basically, Zhang Fan has never impeached any ministers, which is simply unimaginable for a person in charge of the Jinyi Guard, But Zhang Fan did it

At the beginning, many people felt that this was because Zhang Fan was timid, after all, Zhang Fan had not been in the office for a long time, and he didn't dare to offend people everywhere, but later, people found out that this was not the case, Zhang Fan was not a person who would be afraid of anything casually, Zhang Fan, who was scarred from Mobei and only had one breath left, let them understand, and after that, when Zhang Fan was in Qingyang Mansion before, he went out with the army and completed the task that was almost considered to be sent to death, and no one dared to underestimate Zhang Fan anymore.

What's more, since Zhang Fan entered Jinyiwei, there is no need to be afraid of anyone at all, the reason why he lost being an ordinary minister is because of the disagreement between Xu Jie's and Zhang Juzheng, and it involved Zhang Fan, who had just entered the officialdom, but then, Longqing's performance of favoring Zhang Fan was undisguised, which naturally doubled Zhang Fan's value.

In the future, the relationship between Zhang Fan and Zhu Yijun is not a secret in the government and the opposition, which makes Zhang Fan a rising heart in the political arena.

Many people are very honest officials, some because they are really very honest, and some are although they have that dishonest heart, but because of many reasons forced him to become honest, the most typical is that when Longqing was in power before, many people who were trusted by Longqing, but in fact, people with selfish interests in their hearts, did not dare to make a big move, the reason is that Mingzhe protects himself, who knows when the emperor will die, and when the new emperor comes to power, there will inevitably be personnel changes in the court, these people don't want to be at that time, what will happen to them, So now it is natural to be a man and an official with his tail between his legs.

But Zhang Fan doesn't need to care about these at all, whether it is Longqing continuing to reign or Zhu Yijun ascending the throne as the emperor, he Zhang Fan can swim in the court like a fish in water, and he doesn't need to care about anything at all.

However, Zhang Fan, who has such convenience, did not do this, this is obviously not that Zhang Fan wants to pretend to be a gesture, but he really doesn't have that intention.

But now, Gao Gong's trouble is coming, and Zhang Fan is the first person to stand up and impeach Gao Gong in response to the call of Empress Dowager Li, and Zhang Fan either doesn't say it, or he just can't finish it, which makes the ministers a little puzzled.

However, Zhang Juzheng figured it out, he could vaguely know Zhang Fan's intentions, Zhang Fan did this, not just to make Zhang Juzheng cause less trouble in the future, but also to ......

"Oh, I didn't expect our senior scholars to have these things," Empress Dowager Li said with a smile, but anyone could see that her smile contained coldness, "Zhang Aiqing, quickly speaking,"

"Yes," Zhang Fan responded, and continued, "The position of imperial history is designed to supervise, not only to supervise the words and deeds of hundreds of officials, but also to supervise the government and politics.

"Also this year, in April, His Majesty is still recuperating, the imperial history Wang Wenhui on the sparse, the rhetoric is quite sarcastic of current affairs, this matter is not inappropriate, but only because Wang Wenhui's recital, the words involve Gao Gong, at that time His Majesty did not court, the ministers played the recital are by the cabinet after the eye, sent to the celebrant for approval, Gao Gong saw this recital, immediately summoned Wang Wenhui, in front of other officials, scolded him, after that, Gao Gong with his own rights, Wang Wenhui was released in Ningxia to do business.

After that, things were even worse, Shang Baoqing and Liu Fenyong played a sloppy role, not to impeach Gao Gong, but to correct his mistakes; In the matter, Cao Daye was because of the impeachment of Gao Gong for cronyism, not only using his protégés, but also using his relatives in the township, as well as Gao Gong's own bribes, etc., as a result, the two adults were sunk in the sea, and not long after, the two adults were also deposed from Beijing,"

"The mourning family has never heard of this matter at all," Empress Dowager Li couldn't help frowning when she heard Zhang Fan's words, and then asked Feng Bao, "Feng Bao, as the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the seal, all the ministers have to pass through you, do you know about this matter?"

"Empress Dowager Qi," Feng Bao immediately replied respectfully, "The slave doesn't know about this,"

"How can this be," Empress Dowager Li was puzzled, Empress Dowager Li is a principled person, even if she wants to bring down a person, she must rely on real evidence, if what Zhang Fan said is not true, she will naturally not be counted on the head of Gao Gong, so for things she doesn't know, she must ask clearly.

"Back to the Queen Mother," Feng Bao naturally will not let go of this opportunity, what Zhang Fan said is true, and Feng Bao also knows this, but at that time, for many reasons, Feng Bao did not say anything, and now that Zhang Fan has mentioned it, of course he has to buckle another basin on the high arch, "Although the celebrant is responsible for collecting the recitals of the ministers for His Majesty's approval, someone must also hand over the recitals to the slaves,"

"What do you mean......" Empress Dowager Li already knew what Zhang Fan was going to say.

Not only Empress Dowager Li, but also the officials below have also understood, and it seems that Zhang Fan's words will have a more severe blow to Gao Gong.

"Empress Dowager Shengming," Feng Bao patted Empress Dowager Li on the back and said, "The officials in the court must hand over the folds to the cabinet before handing them over to the celebrants of the slaves, and the cabinet scholars will review them.

"Gao Gong, you are such a thief," Empress Dowager Li suddenly became angry and shouted at Gao Gong.

Although there is no explicit rule in the Ming Dynasty, there is an unwritten rule, the impeachment of the official, no matter who has no right to stay, although it is unwritten, want to break this rule, there is no law to bind, and it may not be known, but once the news spreads, it will naturally make people understand that the person who deducts the recital must have a problem, otherwise you don't deduct the excerpt, but why do you deduct the impeachment of the official, the door is that person collects money, Either that, it is he who is impeached in the folds.

"This ......" at the moment, the high arch at the moment, can't say a word at all.

If it was before, no matter in front of anyone, even if it was Longqing, he would have to stand up and refute it, because Gao Gong knew that the reason why Long Qing still didn't do anything to him after he did so many things was because Long Qing cherished Gao Gong's talent.

However, now, Longqing has died, Zhu Yijun has sat on the throne, but the real power is held by the Empress Dowager Li, the Empress Dowager Li is much more capable than Longqing, but it will not be obvious before, the Empress Dowager Li is not the kind of person, because you have talent, so you can do something that others can't do, and you will not be punished.

The so-called "ten thousand merits are not worth one time", no matter how many good things you have done, how much contribution you have made to the court and the Ming Dynasty, as long as you make a big mistake, all those credits will be gone, and knowing the law and breaking the law, the responsibility will be greater.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhang Fan stopped saying anything, turned around and walked back to where he should be standing, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Beside him, Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Fan with a look full of meaning, and Zhang Fan also gave him a look, indicating that what he wanted to do had been done now, and also showed a pleading look.

And after Zhang Juzheng saw Zhang Fan's eyes, he thought about it for a while, and finally nodded slowly and agreed to Zhang Fan's request.

The thing Zhang Fan asked for was very simple, that is, to ask Zhang Juzheng not to go out to fall into the well of Gao Gong again, just now, what Zhang Fan said is enough to make Gao Gong no longer an obstacle, if Zhang Juzheng goes out to say anything again, it will not have any effect, but will make people feel that he is a little too much.

What's more, now that Zhang Fan has started this head, the situation is very different from before, most of the ministers present have some grievances with Gao Gong, don't say just now that they don't dare, after all, they have been bullied by Gao Gong for two years, and some fear is certain.

And Zhang Fan's words just now dispelled the fear in the hearts of these people.

"The minister impeached Gao Gong,"

"Impeachment,"

"Minister......

“……”

The sound of impeachment can be said to be one after another, endless, and some people have never spoken since they arrogantly stood in this imperial palace, and now they are also enthusiastic, which shows that the high arch is really too unpopular.

However, the things they impeached Gao Gong were not all major crimes to kill his head, many things were not big, but for Gao Gong to get out, these were enough.

Gao Gong, who understood that the general trend had gone, lay on the ground, and was already unable to get up,
