The emperor is the era of feudal monarchy, and the person who rules a country naturally has supreme rights, of course, although many people want to be the emperor, but there can only be one emperor.

Since there can only be one emperor, then we have to let those who have the right to inherit the throne fight for a head and bloodshed, and other people, if you want to get ahead, there are only two ways to study and join the army, but when it comes to joining the army, if you are illiterate, no matter how brave you fight, you can only be a soldier forever, but you can't be a general, so in general, if you want to get ahead, you have to study.

As the highest official who assists the emperor in handling government affairs, the post of prime minister is the highest official position that a civil official can do.

Of course, now there will be no more such an official position as the prime minister, when Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Mongols, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he abolished the Zhongshu Province, and the emperor himself directly led the six departments, and stipulated that the imperial court should not set up a prime minister from now on.

However, things are always not too disappointing, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he found that he Lao Tzu abolished the prime minister, so that the emperor's power was more concentrated, good is good, but in this way, the emperor alone has to personally intervene in almost all the big and small things in the court, such a huge empire, such a large population, a lot of things happen every day, if all these things are done by the emperor alone, either the emperor will be tired to death, or the country will be defeated by him.

So Zhu Di used his brains and thought of a good way, he found a few ministers who could help him deal with government affairs into Wenyuan Pavilion, specially used to help him deal with political affairs, to the generation of Emperor Jiajing, he changed the Huagai Hall to the Intermediate Palace, the Jinshen Hall to the Jianji Palace, and arranged the positions of the scholars in the early dynasties, and placed them in front of the six Shangshu, and the status can be said to have been greatly improved.

In the Ming Dynasty, although the cabinet did not have the name of the prime minister, its power was comparable to that of the prime minister, and even surpassed the prime minister in many places.

Therefore, for the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, the pursuit of this supreme right has become their goal, and only those who have already been promoted to it will care about the title of prime minister.

Looking at the present, Zhang Fan clearly said to Gao Yi that he hoped that he could enter the cabinet to replace Li Chunfang's position, how could Gao Yi not be happy, you know, Gao Yi wanted to enter the cabinet for a long time, especially when he met Zhang Fan in the market that day, after the two talked to each other, Gao Yi's thoughts were even more inflated.

After that, during the days when Zhang Fan went to Jiangnan, the struggle between the DPRK and China never stopped, but there was no Gao Yi in it, he did not express any opinions on anything or on any occasion, I have to say that Gao Yi will also be very hidden, not involved in anything, which means that no trouble can be found on him, if he wants to do something in the future, even if others want to oppose the thorn, they will not be able to find him any topics.

But now even if Zhang Fan said it so bluntly, Gao Yi did smile very brightly, but he was just laughing, and he didn't mean anything else.

"Lord Zhang is not saying that Gao Mou is not successful," Gao Yi looked surprised and amused, and said, "Lord Zhang still don't joke, in terms of qualifications, there are many people who are more suitable than Gao in the court, and in terms of intelligence, Gao is also very mediocre, not the first choice,"

"Lord Gao's words are wrong," Zhang Fan disagreed with his words, waved his hand and said, "If you really want to talk about qualifications or talents, I'm afraid that the ministers in this court who can stand in the hall every morning are all qualified, or rather, those who are already in the cabinet now are also people who should abdicate and make way for Xian, besides, Zhang doesn't dare to agree with Lord Gao's words, when it comes to qualifications and intelligence, what is not qualified?"

Regarding Zhang Fan's words, after Gao Yi heard this, he did not express any opinions, but he did not mean to refute again, just smiled.

"However, I still have a question to ask Lord Zhang," Gao Yi said, "The various parties and factions in the DPRK and China are clearly distinguished, and among them, the Gao Gong Party is now the most powerful, and if Master Li really wants to go home, Gao Gong will inevitably do his best to pull his own henchmen into the cabinet, and when the time comes, the other party members of the Gao Gong Party will also be bound to help Gao Gong in the court, so that with the help of such an important official, Gao Gong will inevitably achieve his wish to dominate the cabinet. And why does Lord Zhang think that contemptible people can win over high arches?

"Hehe, it's not that I'm holding it up, but I think Master Gao will definitely be able to win," Zhang Fan said with a smile, "Because behind Lord Gao, there are more powerful people than the Gao Gong Party to help,"

"Oh," Gao Yi was also interested when he heard Zhang Fan say this, he thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Zhang is talking about Master Zhang'......"

"It has nothing to do with the teacher," Zhang Fan shook his head and denied Gao Yi's speculation, and said, "Although the teacher is not in agreement with Gao Gong now, the people behind the teacher who support him are not as many as the Gao Gong faction, so powerful, and second, the people around the teacher are also self-proclaimed gentlemen, and they disdain to do these things,"

"What does Master Zhang mean," Gao Yi couldn't help but wonder when he heard that it was not.

"I don't know if Master Gao knows," Zhang Fan suddenly asked, "In addition to the two factions of Gao Gong and Enshi, there is also a faction of people in the court, these people are not too high-level, but they all have real power, the most important thing is that they are numerous, once they speak, no one can ignore the loud voice,"

"What does Master Zhang mean ......" Gao Yi already roughly knew what Zhang Fan was talking about after listening to Zhang Fan's words, what Zhang Fan said was the faction of people who claimed to be neutral, saying that it was neutral, but in fact, it was just because they had nothing to do with the DPRK and could not find a backer, so they would be united and form a faction, in the final analysis, this is just the mutual shelter sought by a group of frustrated people who are sympathetic to each other.

It's just that their current momentum is so huge, which no one thought at the beginning, at the beginning, they just sought refuge from each other, in order to survive well in the court, and if something happens in the future, they will also have a response, at that time, no one regarded them as the same thing at all, even they themselves, and the evaluation of them was a small fight, not a climate.

Gradually, however, more and more ministers in the DPRK and China could not find power to rely on, and all of them joined the camp of the neutral side without exception, and those who were powerful did not express any opinion on this, and in their eyes it was only the weak who wanted to seek refuge, but the difference was that the weak were getting more and more.

As a result, this faction, which has not been very optimistic since its establishment, and is indeed a very weak faction, has gradually grown up in such a relatively calm situation and no one else disturbs them.

Today, there are a large number of neutral factions, although there are many people who just mix in to eat idle food, but there are also many department officials who are in charge of small power, but who really have the right to use, and their top ranks are gradually rising, although up to now, none of them can stand in the cabinet to worship the prime minister, but their status is not low, just like Na Ge Shouli, who has achieved the position of the six books.

This faction is now very powerful, but because they have never said anything about anything, neither the emperor nor the people of other factions have ever cared, and even most of the time, people can't remember them.

Thinking of this, Gao Yi suddenly felt that the possibility of entering the cabinet became very huge, especially yesterday, after Zhang Fan returned, Longqing invited almost all the courtiers in the palace, Gao Yi was also present at that time, he saw with his own eyes the scene when Ge Shouli took the initiative to show favor to Zhang Fan, how could he not understand what it meant.

"If so...... If Zhang Fan can really say what those people can say......" At this time, Gao Yi couldn't help but think in his heart, "Even if it is a person who is not qualified, it is estimated that he can enter, let alone a person with the right conditions like me,"

"And I have a way," Mr. Zhang said.

"Oh," Gao Yi was once again intrigued by Zhang Fan, who could talk to the neutral people to help him speak, which was enough for him, and Zhang Fan actually said now that there was a way.

"Can Master Gao guess why Ge Shouli showed me goodwill yesterday," Zhang Fan asked.

"Why...... It's not because ......" Gao Yi was about to say it, but he stopped, he originally wanted to say that those people wanted to take refuge in him, but after thinking about it, Gao Yi understood why Zhang Fan said this, and the reason why Ge Shouli would show favor to Zhang Fan was not because Zhang Fan was now a saint.

Seeing Gao Yi's appearance, Zhang Fan knew that he had understood, not to mention that Zhang Fan was now deeply trusted by Longqing, and most importantly, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he had the right to meet Longqing alone, if he wanted to deliver a message, send a message or something, wouldn't it be too convenient.

Zhang Fan knew that he had roughly solved the problem on Gao Yi's side, but in fact, this was not a solution, it could only be said that it strengthened Gao Yi's decision to enter the cabinet, and the conditions that he would help Zhang Fan speak after he entered the cabinet.

Now, what Zhang Fan has to do is to meet Ge Shouli and determine his situation.
