After the retreat from the dynasty. Most of the officials remained in the main hall and did not leave. For everything that happened this morning. Everyone still has an endless aftertaste. Gao Gong, a person who is now very strong, ended up in defeat. This has to be said to be a very interesting thing.

Speaking of interest. In fact, most people are very happy in their hearts. High arch since the beginning of the year. made people impeach Xu Jie. And returned to the court and entered the cabinet. After serving as the first assistant to the cabinet. It's a complete change. The high arch that used to be bold and bold is gone. In exchange for a violent very. All that is thought of is the exclusion of dissenters. Consolidate their position and unscrupulous high arches.

The officials of the court did not take it seriously at first. I felt that this was just a natural reaction of Gao Gong when he was suppressed by Xu Jie for a long time. Let him make a fuss for a while, and it will be over. However, things are not as simple as they think. The high arch is more than half a year. It was like that since he first came back at the beginning of the year. It hasn't stopped until now. And his means. It's also very ruthless. There is no intention of diminishing. It's completely unreasonable. Just take your chance. It was bound to be a fierce attack. Until the other person falls.

Facing this is already like a mad dog. The officials of the DPRK and China dare not speak out. There was no countermeasure. And the higher the arch, the more so. The more these ministers dare not do anything. For fear that he would be angry with him for doing something very unpleasant to look at. Woe to yourself.

And the more so the officials. The more he swallowed his anger and did not speak. The high arch became more and more unscrupulous. The means of retaliation have also become more and more merciless. In the case of this vicious circle. For most of the year. The DPRK and the Central Committee were made into a miasma. Everyone is at risk. And Longqing, who had already known this situation, simply ignored it. Let the high arch toss. There are a few ministers who really can't look at it. Risking death to play Longqing. Hopefully, this situation will be put to rest. But it was learned by the high arch. After that, it was naturally another brutal crackdown. The officials didn't know that it was this fold, and it was not sent to Longqing at all, and it was reported by Meng Chong. Or did Long Qing have seen this excerpt. But he didn't have any plans.

And the people of the high-arched party. For high arches this practice. At first, it seems understandable. After all, Gao Gong has also been aggrieved for so many years. It's also very normal to vent after returning to power. But gradually. These people found. Gao Gong's revenge turned out to be out of control. It's been more than half a year. How many people have been exiled, degraded, raided, or even lost their lives because of the high arch. They don't bother to count them anymore. But it's definitely a frightening number. Even Guo Pu. This high-arched friend meets a dead friend. Nowadays, they all feel that the practice of high arches is a bit too much.

For Guo Pulai. He didn't have too much room for hatred to take to heart. Guo Pu is very upright when he speaks. This can be seen from the fact that he risked his life to rescue Hai Rui from Emperor Jiajing. It shows that he still has such a heart for his family and country. He stood on the same front as Gao Gong because Xu Jie's pressure was too much back then. What's more. At that time, Gao Gong was still dedicated to the imperial court. Guo Pu took a fancy to the high arch. Knowing that he has big ambitions. This will be on the side of the high arch.

Even at the beginning of the year. Gao Gong returned to the court to take power. When the madness of revenge begins. Guo Pu's mind has also been broken. At that time, he always thought that Gao Gong just wanted to vent his frustration for so many years. Wait until all his frustration is gone. Naturally, we will get back on the right track. At that time. Guo Pu will do his best to help Gao Gong govern the Ming Dynasty.

But now. Guo Pu's mind was shaken. More than half a year down. Gao Gong's retaliation did not subside. On the contrary, it has intensified. Frankly. Today's Guo Pu is still very firmly on the side of the high arch. But in his heart. The idea of a high arch has long been shaken. But that's the end of the story. Even if he wavered in his heart, it would be useless. It's come to this point. It was impossible for him to turn back on his own.

After Long Qing said the word retreat. Nor did they wait for the officials to kneel and salute each other. And he walked away on his own. And the scene. Gao Gong saw that he had fought a huge defeat today. But he didn't hang his head. On the contrary, it is extremely unpeaceful in my heart. What you want to vent about. But he raised his eyebrows for a long time. He didn't say a word. looked at Ge Shouli occasionally, then at Zhang Fan, and even stared at Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng for a long time. As if he was trying to say something. But in the end, there was not a word spoken. Snorted coldly. Changed hands and strode out. And one of his henchmen saw that he had left. I don't want to stay here anymore and be treated coldly. All followed the high arch and came out.

And these people were present. See the appearance of the high arch. Especially those that don't deal with high arches. People who have been suppressed by excessive arches. All had a smile on their faces. Some are victorious, some are joyful.

And as the dominant side of today's victory. Zhang Fan, Ge Shouli and Li Chunfang. Although there is joy on his face. But there was not the slightest expression of victory. For them. Originally, I didn't want to use such a method to force Gao Gong. But the behavior of the high arch today. It's already unbearable. If he let a major power of the court be put into his hands. That would definitely be a disaster for the court. This situation. No matter whether there is a gap with the high arch or not, people don't want to see it.

Arguably. Today's counterattack organized by Zhang Fan yesterday. It's a bit of a long-awaited taste. This is no exaggeration.

"Lord Ge." Zhang Juzheng walked up to Ge Shouli and said hello. It's just that there seems to be some gratitude in his expression.

"Lord Zhang doesn't need to be so polite." Ge Shouli hurriedly said. "Today's thing. I am also entrusted by others. And. If you say thank you. Don't mention it again. Ge is not for anything else. It's not for Lord Zhang. It's just that I don't want to continue to be so chaotic in the court. ”

"I understand." Zhang Juzheng nodded with deep understanding. Said. "It's just that Master Ge did help in the next favor today. Words of thanks for that. Be sure to say it below. ”

"If Lord Zhang really wants to thank you. Again, thank another person. Ge Shouli said this. His eyes couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan on the side. "Ge just made some modest efforts. I don't know how to mention it. After saying that. Ge Shouli said goodbye to Zhang Juzheng. Walk towards the outside of the main hall. It's just that before he leaves the door. He also looked back at Zhang Fan. And nodded. Didn't say anything.

watched Ge Shouli leave. Zhang Juzheng came to Zhang Fan. opened his mouth and said: "Yuande." I really didn't expect that. It's ...... you."

"Teacher. None of these words need to be said again. Zhang Fan said. If you really talk about it. I have to thank Master Li for that. Master Li spoke out to help the elder get out of danger. Now it's time to say it. He was almost impeached by Gao Gong just now. Master Lee took such a risk. I really deserve a good thank you. ”

"That's right." Zhang Juzheng agrees with this sentence very much. and Zhang Fan came to Li Chunfang.

"Stop, two. I can't afford it. Li Chunfang stopped the two of them before they could speak.

After some politeness. The three of them left the main hall. Walk towards the outside of the palace gate.

On the way, Zhang Juzheng suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Fan and asked, "Yuande." Today, when Lord Ge stood up and spoke. I felt that there must be a reason for you. What the hell did you say about moving him? Zhang Juzheng asked the question in his heart.

"Teacher. Actually, this matter is coming. The students didn't do much. Zhang Fan said modestly. It's just that this humility is also true. "Yesterday the students heard what happened in the DPRK. I immediately had a plan in mind. Hurriedly asked people to find Gao Yi Gao to come and discuss. After talking to Mr. Gao. The student immediately went to Lord Ge's house. Would like to ask for their help.

Master Ge was unequivocal. Just asked me a few words. I agreed. At that time, the students also had some doubts in their hearts. I couldn't help but ask why. It's just an answer. It's really embarrassing to make the students' hearts a little embarrassed. ”

"Oh. What did Master Ge say? Zhang Juzheng was immediately interested in Zhang Fan's words. Hurriedly asked. Li Chunfang on the side also turned his head to look at him.

Zhang Fan thought about it. There is no intention to hide anything. opened his mouth and said, "The reason why Lord Ge is willing to help. In fact, he had already told the teacher the reason just now. He just didn't want to see the DPRK and China go on in such chaos. What's more, the high arch has already put everyone in danger. He didn't want to add to the chaos.

He added. He helped the students the day before yesterday. It is for this reason that it is also possible. He didn't want to be a trivial matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver. And make up the dispute between the students and the high arch. But...... Teacher. Master Ge still has a few words for the students to convey. ”

"Oh. What he said. Zhang Juzheng asked suspiciously.

Master Ge said......" Zhang Fan paused. It seems to be deliberate. But I decided to speak. He meant to ask the teacher to do what he wanted. This time, he was not used to seeing the high arch and high power, but he didn't know the importance of it, so he would speak out to help. But one day. Teacher, you say the same. He'll stand up and speak again. ”

Hear Zhang Fan's words. Zhang Juzheng was suddenly a little speechless. It's not because the meaning of Ge Shouli conveyed by Zhang Fan is too rude or anything. It's in Zhang Juzheng's heart. That's exactly what I had in mind.
