Chapter 350: The Hate of the High Arch
Now the civil and military officials in the court still remember that at the beginning of the year, Xu Jie was angry with Longqing, and was impeached by Gao Gong, who had been planning and waiting for the opportunity, to impeach and conspire with his henchmen.
This is the so-called feng shui in turn, the so-called luck is very mysterious, everyone wants to have it, but everyone always can't last long.
At that time, although Xu Jie said that he was Zhishi, it was just because Xu Jie's qualifications were too old, his connections in the DPRK and China were too wide, and he had been a cabinet leader for so many years, and even defeated Yan Song's party, and his status could be said to be unparalleled for a while, so even if Xu Jie's did anger Longqing, the emperor, it was impossible for Longqing to just take off his black yarn, take off his official uniform and drive him away.
But no matter what, no matter how beautiful Xu Jie was on the surface when he left, but in the final analysis, he was forced to leave because he made a mistake, so this means that Xu Jie lost his right to speak on some things before leaving.
The current situation is almost exactly the same as at the beginning, Li Chunfang is about to give a minister, but it is a little different, Li Chunfang is the last to resign and get Long Qing's consent, and Xu Jie is not, the follow-up candidate after leaving, since he should give priority to asking about the person who was originally in that position.
At the beginning, Xu Jie didn't have that opportunity, and someone in the court also recommended Gao Gong, and the matter was almost determined, so naturally there was nothing to talk about.
But now, Li Chunfang's normal retirement, it is natural for him to appoint a successor.
Just now, Gao Gong made a polite and respectful farewell greeting in order to seize this opportunity, and even no longer care about the gap between him and Li Chunfang.
Now that Longqing has begun to ask this question, the officials can't help but think that this time Gao Gong will definitely take the lead, and they are all ready to watch a good show.
Gao Gong thought even so, after hearing Long Qing's question, he had been standing there and didn't understand, as if he was waiting for Li Chunfang to "shirk" this responsibility to himself, but after a while, Gao Gong didn't wait for the voice he wanted to hear, doubtful, Gao Gong couldn't help but look at Li Chunfang, this was unbearable, between which Li Chunfang was moving his body and walked towards the center of the hall.
Seeing Li Chunfang coming over, the hundred officials above the court were stunned again, and Gao Gong was even more stunned, looking at Li Chunfang with his mouth slightly open, at this moment, Gao Gong felt as if someone had made a big joke with him.
When Li Chunfang walked to Gao Gong's side and stood still, Gao Gong still looked so surprised, he didn't know what to say at all, and these ministers who were surprised when they saw Li Chunfang standing up also returned to a look of expectation from their surprised expressions again.
Li Chunfang was about to speak, but he looked at Gao Gong, who was standing next to him and posed in surprise, revealing a puzzled expression.
When Long Qing saw a good show staged below, he didn't have any expression on his face, but his heart was already happy, and there was such an interesting situation in the court, which had not been seen for a long time.
Very cooperative, Long Qing also showed a puzzled expression, and said to Gao Gong, who was still standing there: "Gao Aiqing, do you have anything else?"
It seems that because of what happened just now, the impact on Gao Gong was too great, and Long Qing asked him for a long time, but he didn't know how to speak.
"Gao Aiqing," Long Qing saw that Gao Gong didn't answer, and asked again, but there was no unpleasant expression on his face.
“…… Your Majesty," Gao Gong, who came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed to Long Qing and said.
"Is there anything else you need," Long Qing asked again.
"Weichen is fine," Gao Gong said a little gloomily, and walked back slowly, now Gao Gong's figure looks very lonely, as if he has suffered some great grievances and setbacks, but it didn't take long for the loneliness on Gao Gong's face to become a fierce look, as if he had a deep hatred with someone, and he had an expression of wanting to put people to death.
"Li Aiqing," Seeing that Gao Gong had already gone back, Long Qing turned his face to Li Chunfang again and said, "Li Aiqing has a candidate in his heart,"
"Your Majesty," Li Chunfang said, "Wechen has been thinking about his resignation for many days, Wechen understands that as a scholar of the imperial court's cabinet, he has a great responsibility, and Wechen understands that this visit will inevitably make a vacancy in the cabinet, and he also understands that the cabinet is to help His Majesty's auxiliary government, and its responsibilities are extremely important, so naturally there can be no vacancy for a day,"
"Well, what Li Aiqing said is extremely true," Long Qing nodded and said, "In this case, Li Aiqing must already have a candidate,"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's eyes saw Li Chunfang.
"That's right," Li Chunfang didn't care about the other people's eyes, and replied calmly as usual.
Hearing Li Chunfang's definite answer, the civil and military officials suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, just now they didn't understand why Li Chunfang was so persistent today, and even if he had already accepted the love of Gao Gong, he was not as polite as usual, but was outspoken, and of course he did not let it, which is not bad for others, but for Li Chunfang, this is definitely a strange and very strange thing.
And today's Li Chunfang didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, Long Qing asked him anything, and he answered bluntly, and even such a strong person as Gao Gong has now shown favor to Li Chunfang in a low voice, but Li Chunfang still has no intention of backing down, or so.
For today's Li Chunfang, what he did is to subvert the previous understanding of him, and it looks so weird, but after Li Chunfang said what he said just now, the officials understood why it was like this, and they already understood that Li Chunfang must have had a plan in his heart for a long time, so he would be so bold and clear with Gao Gong.
But at this point, these officials couldn't help but start worrying about Li Chunfang in their hearts, Gao Gong is a person who must report flaws, don't you see why Li Chunfang was forced to resign and return to his hometown, it was for Xu Jie.
And Gao Gong even Xu Jie, a person who had already gone home and could no longer pose any threat to him, still had to fall into the well like this and put him to death.
And now, Li Chunfang does not give Gao Gong face, in the eyes of the officials, Li Chunfang's life after becoming a master will definitely not be easy, Gao Gong will definitely do everything possible to find him trouble, maybe Gao Gong will find a thing that can kill people to impeach Li Chunfang.
It's just that now Gao Gong has impeached Xu Jie, as well as Zhang Fan, and Zhang Juzheng and a group of people are waiting for him to help him, and when Gao Gong attacks Li Chunfang again, I don't know who among the hundred officials in the court will risk offending Gao Gong and come forward to help Li Chunfang, after all, Li Chunfang has been in the court for decades, and he is very silent, and he has no enemies, but he also has no friends who can help him speak.
And Gao Gong, who heard Li Chunfang's answer, although he still stood in place and did not move, and he couldn't let others see what his face looked like now when he lowered his head, but Guo Pu, who was closest to him, could clearly see that Gao Gong's body was trembling slightly, as for whether it was out of anger, Guo Pu didn't know, and he didn't want to know, if anyone could see the expression on Gao Gong's face now, he would definitely be frightened. The teeth are also tightly pressed together, giving people the feeling that they have always wanted to eat their flesh, and it is self-evident who the object is.
"Then I don't know who Aiqing recommends," Long Qing didn't think about these things, he had already begun to ask Gao Gong.
"Wei Chen recommends, today's East Palace lectures, Gao Yi Gao," Li Chunfang said in his own unique flat voice.
The people below, hearing the name Gao Yi, including Gao Gong, were puzzled, in their opinion, since Li Chunfang would be so persistent in wanting to recommend his successor, in their opinion, this must be Li Chunfang entrusted by someone to do this, and the person he recommended must also be a representative of a certain force, but they never thought that it would be such a figure as Gao Yi, Gao Yi They didn't know that Tai Changqing, who was the Hanlin Academy of Yingtianfu, also did the Ministry of Rites. Or the master who has no money to repair the fire in his home, how can he not know, but in their opinion, the biggest characteristic of this Grohe is that he is cowering and has no characteristics, is it...... Li Chunfang is leaving, and he wants to find someone with a similar personality to him to be his class.
"Gao Yi," Hearing this name, Long Qing was puzzled, Long Qing didn't know Gao Yi this person, after all, he was now a lecturer in the East Palace, Long Qing naturally knew it, and he could see him on weekdays, but Long Qing didn't understand why Li Chunfang recommended this person for a while.
It's just that in Longqing's view, although Gao Yi is not the best candidate, he can also be the best candidate, after all, he is a person who has been a Taichangqing and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, whether it is qualifications or knowledge, it is more than enough for him to be a university scholar and enter the cabinet.
With a plan in mind, Long Qing had almost agreed to Li Chunfang's proposal, but he still had to ask the ministers below.
It's just that before Long Qing could ask what he said, someone had already shouted: "Weichen is against it,"
Hearing this voice, the eyes of everyone in the hall turned to the same place again, only to see Gao Gong walking out,
