Chapter 833: The Eunuch Arena is Like a Market (I)
Chapter 833 The Eunuch Yard is Like a Market (I)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Although Gao Gong was gloomy in the last year because he was defeated by Xu Jie's Yanguan Army, he was in the rivers and lakes and had Wei Que in his heart. In addition to teaching and educating people every day in Gaojiazhuang, he is reflecting on the lessons of his own failures...... The reason why people reflect after defeat is naturally to draw strength from failure, so that when they have the opportunity to return to the court and return to the emperor, they will not make the same mistake again.
Yes, Gao Gong didn't believe that he would completely withdraw from the stage of history, he knew his status in the emperor's heart, especially now that Xu Jie's obstacle was gone, his thoughts about returning to the court were as strong as day by day. This time the angel came and preached the decree, and it was when the person was sick that he met Langzhong. But after all, the high arch has gone through ups and downs, and it is no longer as blindly confident as it was at the beginning, and I know that no matter how urgent the mood is to get up after falling, I can't respond immediately.
So he pretended to say thank you, and then the emperor summoned again, and then thanked him, and only then did he 'reluctantly agree', all in order to increase his weight, so as not to really become the last cabinet elder after he came back...... This is because according to the usual practice, after the resigned cabinet ministers are reinstated, no matter what their original position was, after returning to the cabinet, they can only be ranked at the bottom of the list and re-ranked.
If he doesn't want to be boiled to death by the young man in front of him, he must use some means to improve his status. This is a kind of sadness for the high-minded and arrogant Gao Gong individual, but for a politician, it is a must.
However, when the time comes, it can't be stopped, just when he was still suffering from gains and losses because he could only become the last pavilion elder, and he walked very heavily along the way, God invited Yang Bo's old lady to go, the person who made Gao Gong the most jealous and helpless, so he had to give up his position of power and go home to keep filial piety.
Then Longqing, who always felt that he couldn't stand him, gave him this position.
The official of the Ministry of Justice, the highest position among the six chiefs, is commonly known as 'Dazai', and controls the fate of all officials. Shoufu nòng is not good, he can't control him. Like Yang Bo, the secretary of the ministry, Xu Jie couldn't control it, and when he arrived at Li Chūnfang, he was even more stabilized by him. Gao Gong didn't believe that he lost to Xu Jie, and he couldn't play Li Chūn Fang?
And the reaction of the hundred officials to the return of the high arch, the reason why from the initial surprise, to the later shock, is actually to be a scholar and in charge of the ministry, which is an exception in this dynasty, very rare. Because in this way, the major policies of the imperial court and personnel evaluation, appointment and dismissal, this person can all grasp in his hands, if the country is subverted, the emperor may not know it.
But Longqing just believed him 100%. Make it clear to tell the world, I will use him like this, this is my henchman!
Jun is like the sea, it is not a lie in his place, Gao Gong naturally feels jī tears, so he completely put aside his worries and fears, and he can't return to the court immediately, reconcile Ding Nai for the emperor, take a trip in the water and fire, and make a great career in this life. Therefore, I didn't stop along the way, day and night, and arrived at the suburbs of Beijing in less than a day.
At noon, the sun was shining, and he simply ordered someone to remove the roof of the sedan car, and the mén curtains and curtains were also taken, in line with the meaning of the wind and food. People don't sit in the car, but stand by the wheel. The carriage is galloping, the wind is blowing, the clothes are fluttering, there is really a sense of grandeur, and a man should feel like this.
However, what Gao Gong thought in his heart was how to break the situation and grasp the power as soon as possible after returning to Beijing and facing the court that was still full of mountains and factions...... He is fifty-five years old this year, and time is too precious for him. We can't wait any longer, we have to seize the day!
But although the future is bright, the road is still tortuous, and he still has a long way to go if he wants to take power and show his strength......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The team galloped like this, and the high arch was also bumpy and the god was outside, until he suddenly felt that the car had slowed down and his clothes were no longer floating, so he raised his eyes and looked at it, and it turned out that there was a post station not far in front of him, which looked very familiar.
Then the leader of the shì guard stepped forward and reported: "Pavilion Lao, the front is Jingnanyi, do you want to enter the city after the sharpening?" ”
It turned out to be here...... Gao Gong couldn't help but lose his mind a little again, he was bī out of Beijing last year, wasn't he also beaten here? Thinking about how hasty and desolate he was that time, except for Shen Mo and Zhang Juzheng, no one dared to send them off, presumably at that time, everyone thought they were completely finished.
"Coming, coming, coming...... was thinking, the post house suddenly became noisy, and I saw a group of familiar faces pouring out of it, with their own old subordinates, Wei Xuezeng, the general political envoy, Wang Xilie, the right shì lang of the criminal department, and more than a dozen irons such as mén sheng Han Yi, and so on.
In addition to these die-hard loyalists, there are many more former mén ...... Such as Hubu left and right shì lang, Xu Yangzheng and Liu Tiqian, these people used to come and go to his mansion from time to time, and they were willing to be his minions. It's just that in that political cháo of 'lifting the arch', they all made grass on the wall, and when they saw that the defeat of the high arch was decided, they took themselves out one after another, and even fell into the ground...... We all know that the high arch must be repaid. Now seeing him return, these people are naturally uneasy, but there is still a trace of luck in their hearts, so they also come to greet him and see if they can come back......
Looking at the faces that were either moving or flattering, Gao Gong was a little drunk, all because he was back!
What is the most wonderful thing in the world that is too 'homecoming'?
But now he no longer put joy and dislike on his face, just nodded with everyone, and got out of the car under the scramble, and was surrounded into the post house......
Gao Gong went to the back hall to wash and change clothes, and the officials who came to greet him waited in the front hall, because they were divided into diehards and surrender factions at the beginning, so at this moment the two sides are clearly distinguished, although the number of diehards is small, but they look at those 'traitors' with a proud face. Although the traitors were numerous, they were each with their own thoughts, hesitated, and seemed very depressed.
After waiting like this for a while, Wei Xuezeng and Wang Xilie were about to get up and ask Gao Gong to move to the banquet, but they were stopped and said, "Brother Qiguan and Brother Ruding, let's let the two of us go this way." ”
There is no need to look, the two of them also know that it is Xu Yangzheng and Liu Tiqian who are speaking, these two people who have lost face...... These two people, the former one is Gao Gong's classmate, and the latter is his fellow villager, and both of them usually have a close relationship with Gao Gong. However, seeing that other officials of the government had led the impeachment of Gao Gong, about to be the result of his collapse, he was also ready to pick up the sloppy, hoping to use this as a petition for self-preservation.
But they are just shìlang, and there is a Zhengyin hall official on it. The two wanted to pry up Ge Shouli, who was their Shangshu at the time, to lead the denunciation of Gao Gong's recital. However, Ge Shouli did not want to be involved in such a degraded personal attack, so he refused to be named. But Xu Yangzheng and Liu Tiqian still had a ridiculous 'white-headed sparse'...... They left the Shangshu at the head blank, and finally expressed their position on behalf of the household. As a result, it has become a long-term laughing stock in officialdom. Not only did the people in the Gao Party hate them to the core, but even the Xu Party looked down on them, although they barely kept their official positions, they were inevitably discouraged, and they became more and more miserable.
Now seeing the two of them speak, those high-ranking party diehards all showed disdainful expressions, but the two of them turned a blind eye and pleaded again: "Elder Ge is angry when he sees us, if he doesn't let him lose his anger, this meal will not be good." ”
Wei Xuezeng was upright, known as 'Wei Cannon', and sneered in his heart: "If you want the elder to eat a good meal, then you guys get out!" But because Xu Yang was his Chinese-style house master, he was forced to hold back.
Wang Xilie is a scheming person, looking at the poor two, he can't help but sink up. Shaoqingfang nodded and said, "So there are two Laos," and looked at Wei Xuezeng as he said: "How about Brother Qiguan?" Wei Xuezeng snorted and didn't say anything.
Seeing that the two agreed, the two were overjoyed, so they bowed deeply with a smile on their faces, and quickly stepped into the inner hall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gao Gong is a person who does not pay much attention to appearance, and the washing time is several times faster than that of ordinary officials. A cup of tea, has been renewed, take a máo towel to wipe the face.
At this time, Gao Fu came in and reported: "Master, Lord Xu and Lord Liu are here to invite." ”
Hearing these two names, Gao Gong's movements obviously stagnated, and then his face sank, his hands tightly twisted the máo scarf, and his knuckles turned white...... Apparently he remembered the unpleasant memories that had brought him shame on himself.
Seeing the old man like this, Gao Fu said tentatively: "Then the old man knows, please let them go first, right?" ”
"Hum ......" Gao Gong snorted, threw the máo towel that had been twisted into a hemp huā on the basin stand, and then returned to his seat and sat down, where a sulk rose.
Seeing that the old man didn't give a reply, Gao Fu had to wait there, and after a long time, he heard Gao Gong squeeze out a few words from his throat: "Let them in......"
Failure is a valuable asset for someone who can get back on their feet again. For example, Gao Gong, he learned from it, what is 'xiǎo 不endure then luàn 大mou'. knows that although it is coming back today, compared with the deep-rooted Shanxi Gang, the leafy Southeast Gang still seems to be alone. And Xu Yangzheng and Liu Tiqian, regardless of their character, are well-known and capable officials. Such a person, although he can't be regarded as a confidant, has no problem using him as a minion.
However, although I don't intend to keep them out, the high arch is still the same high arch, how can I give up with them?
So when the two of them came in, they saw the face as black as the bottom of the pot and as cold as ice.
Partition -
I came back in the evening, and I wanted to write it right away, but I was tired from running bō these days, so I could only crook a few xiǎo hours first, and then get up and give everyone a chapter. Rest early, tomorrow two watches......
