Chapter 834 Time Is Not Waiting for Me (Medium)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Gao Gong only rested at home for two days, and then came to the cabinet on the 10th day of the first month to report.

At that time, all the scholars in the cabinet were there, and when they saw this man with a sleek beard and a sharp gaze coming in from outside, they couldn't help but become colorful.

"It's coming......" and "It's early...... the ministers got up one after another, and they extended just the right greetings to him with a posture of not dropping the price as much as possible.

The most embarrassing was Li Chūnfang, who was originally under the high arch and is now a bachelor of the first assistant, looking at the tall beard who nodded to everyone, and didn't know whether it was better to stand up or continue to sit, so in the end he had to welcome him in an embarrassing posture like a half-standing and half-sitting, similar to about to take off.

Fortunately, Gao Gong did not embarrass him, and bowed to him first.

Li Chūn Fang was like a méng amnesty, stood up completely, clasped his fists at him and saluted, and said with a smile on his face: "I thought that Brother Zhongxuan could rest for a few more days." ”

"Time is not coming...... Gao Gong said in a loud voice, "I can't stay for a moment at the thought of having so many things to do." ”

"My generation is a model, my generation is a model." Everyone laughed.

After a simple greeting, it was natural to sit down, under the gaze of everyone's complicated eyes, Gao Gongshen sat down at the end as usual, looked at the empty table in front of him, he smiled, put down the stack of texts that he had brought with him, and began to focus on reading, ignoring the gaze of others.

After watching him for a while, everyone finally turned around and went their own way, but one by one they were absent-minded, worried that he would break out at any time...... It's no wonder, after all, everyone thinks that the treatment of accompanying the last seat is too aggrieved for Gao Gong, who can't stand the grievances.

After waiting worriedly for a long time, seeing that Gao Gong's face still did not change, Li Chūn Fang calmed down for a while, cleared his throat and said, "Let's start." "The daily cabinet meeting began.

At first, because of the concern about the existence of the high arch, Zhao Zhenji was relatively restrictive, but as the meeting unfolded, especially the topic of fiscal and tax reform, he couldn't hold it anymore, and Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Juzheng stood up with each other, and if he couldn't say it, he scolded: "Zhang Zi, this is Xu Ge's policy when he was old, and you, a student, dare to overthrow it?" ”

Zhang Juzheng was speechless for a while, and was about to endure it as before, but heard a bang.

Everyone hurriedly followed the prestige, but saw that it was a high arch and slapped it on the table. Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves, Gao Gong clapped his hands and said casually: "Kill the buzzing mosquito, you continue to ......"

Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts said that it was really fake? But that can't scare him, right? So they continued, talking, and quarreling again, this time it was Zhao Zhenji and Gao Yi, for the sake of the feast.

Although Gao Yi is good-tempered, he can't stand Zhao Zhenji's fingers at him...... The heart said that you have left the Ministry of Rites, what are you doing so wide? But he couldn't say Lao Zhao, so he could only silently listen to him teach himself loudly.

Zhao Zhenji was spitting at the mouth, but he heard a bang again, which made him tremble, and when he followed the sound, he slapped his palm on the table again.

"What, mosquitoes again?" Zhao Zhenji had a dark face and asked the high arch on the other side.

"Yes, big black mosquito." Gao Gong clapped his hands and sneered.

"How can there be so many mosquitoes in the cabinet...... Zhao Zhenji is a fool, and he also knows that this guy is aimed at himself.

"Didn't you?" Gao Gong pretended to be ignorant and said, "Then why do I always hear the annoying hum."

"What did you say?" Zhao Zhenji's eyes were round, since he was in the cabinet, he didn't dare to find someone unhappy with him.

"Do you have to make it so clear?" Gao Gong sneered again: "I'm afraid that some people can't hold their faces." ”

"You ......" Seeing that the smell of fire between the two was getting stronger and stronger, everyone hurriedly persuaded them to stop. It's the first day, and Gao Gong doesn't want to make trouble, so he snorts and pinches his head over.

Zhao Zhenji knew that Lao Gao was not a soft persimmon, and he dared to pinch it casually, so he also snorted and stopped talking.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In an eerie atmosphere, the meeting ended hastily.

After the meeting, it is natural to arrange accommodation for the high arch...... Because of the frequent personnel changes, the accommodation of the cabinet has changed a lot, and to this day, it is Li Chūn Fang and Shen Mo who each live in a single room, and then Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi, Chen Yiqin and Zhao Zhenji live in one room. So either beat everyone up and divide it again, or just go directly to the silence in a room.

After understanding the situation, without waiting for the arrangement, Gao Gong said to Li Chūnfang: "Don't toss, I'll be in the same house with Jiangnan." After making a decision last night, I remembered to ask: "Jiangnan, do you have no opinion?" ”

"I can't ask for it." Shen Mo smiled sincerely and clenched his hand and said: "Xixin Zheng Gong is useful, he is always in the same heart, and the world is still okay!" Gao Gong smiled when he heard this.

Because Gao Gong has been absent for a long time, he naturally has to be familiar with government affairs first, so there is no specific errand on the first day, just reading the chapter, observing the meeting of the rest of the people, and then when Zhao Zhenji is furious, he suppresses his momentum. At the end of the day, Lao Zhao, who has always been invincible, was very unhappy.

For all this, everyone smiled in their eyes and said secretly: "Now Zhao Bawang has an opponent." ’

Unknowingly, when it came to Shenshi, because there were too many meetings today, there were two stacks of recitals that had not been read, so I silently asked people to tell their families that they would not go back tonight...... The cabinet ministers are self-denying and diligent, and they have long been accustomed to this.

Before dinner, Shen Mo asked the scribe to carry the remaining notebook back to the duty room, and when he was done with dinner, he returned to the first duty room in the east to continue his unfinished work...... In fact, silence generally does not work overtime, let alone bring work back to the duty room, and I don't know why I made an exception today.

After opening it for a quarter of an hour, Mén was pushed away, and when he looked up silently, Gao Gong had really returned, so he put down his pen and said, "I didn't see you when I was eating, and I thought you were going home." ”

"Well, I'm home, but I'm back." Gao Gong washed his face in the basin and said, "My wife is sick, don't worry." ”

"It doesn't matter what you're going to do when you come back." He smiled silently.

"I can't wait," Gao Gong pulled a máo towel from the basin stand to wipe his face. Shen Mo wanted to say that it was my máo towel, but he couldn't help but say nothing. I listened to Gao Gong continue: "I watched coldly for a day today, and found that the current situation of the cabinet is not optimistic. ”

"Oh?" Silently closed the notebook, put it in hand, and waited for Gao Gong to continue.

"Prevarication, inefficiency, old-fashioned, and out of place." Gao Gong summed up sixteen words: "We can't go on like this, we have to change!" ”

"yes." Shen Mo nodded slightly, his face was a little mysterious under the light, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Before we discuss this," Gao Gong said leisurely, "I want to confirm one thing with you first. ”

"Yes." Shen Mo said lightly.

"Do you know Shao Daxia?" Gao Gong stared at Shen Mo and said.

"Shao Daxia?" The silent gaze was blank for a while, but quickly nodded and said, "I hit Jiāo Dao once...... When the Nanjing Zhenwu battalion mutinied, he sent a boatload of silver to relieve me. Having said that, there was no feeling on Shen Mo's face: "This is a famous broker, and there are many shadows of big families behind him, so I owe this favor, and I am still uneasy in my heart." ”

Listening to Shen Mo's very frank words, Gao Gong lost that certainty, and míhuò said: "So, he's not your person anymore?" ”

"It's not." Shen Mo shook his head slowly.

"......" Gao Gong fell into silence, his feelings for Shao Daxia were very complicated, first, of course, it was a feeling, and Zhi'en Tubao was his own sè. Second, it is not difficult to understand that there is no lack of vigilance and vigilance...... A person in the rivers and lakes can actually get in touch with the palace and influence the departure and stay of the cabinet scholars. Behind the absurd story, I don't know how many secrets are hidden, and I don't know what kind of threat it will pose to my future.

After a long time, Gao Gong exhaled a breath of turbidity and said, "So, I don't need to accept your affection?" ”

"You don't need to be affectionate from anyone." Shen Mo nodded and said, "Because you, Gao Xinzheng, are the one who is destined to be in charge of Qiankun in Longqing." ”

The hidden information behind his words made Gao Gong sigh in his heart, and secretly exclaimed: "He is really the mastermind behind the scenes!" 'For Shen Mo is unwilling to admit it, Gao Gong can also understand, because first, his coming to power is premised on Xu Jie's resignation, and doing so is a bit of a taste of bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors; Second, instructing people in the rivers and lakes to conspire with the eunuchs in the palace is really not a glorious means, and silence will not admit it.

Although Shen Mo didn't intend to take credit, Gao Gong still accepted his feelings, stood up for the first time, and waved silently.

Shen Mo sighed softly, and went around to the desk to help him up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two sat down on the row of pineapple chairs, looked at each other and smiled, knowing that each other was the only person who had seen the same level in their lives, but who smelled the same. There is no need to say anything more, Shen Mo asked Gao Gong to go out of the mountain in order to govern the country, if there is any sī heart, why bother to move this fierce enemy out of the mountain?

"You and I can be said to be in charge of Bao Zhijiāo." This time, Shen Mo spoke first, and said with a smile: "I hope you, Guan Zhong, don't disappoint my old Bao." ”

Seeing that the great reformer Guan Zhong compared himself, a heavy confidant appeared on Gao Gong's face and said: "Today, Ziji is destined to be secret, who is with Cheng Wangxian?" The faith of the two of us is not under the call of Zhou and Zhao. Today's national affairs are in danger, like a scorpion, and it is necessary for you and my brothers to work together and help each other in the same boat, looking forward to the friendship of Zhou and Zhaojiafu, so as to achieve an unprecedented great cause! ”

Shen Mo was stunned by him at first, and the "Preface to the Book of Jun Zheng" said: 'Zhou Gong is the teacher, the Zhao Gong is the protector, the king is the left and right, and the Zhao Gong is displeased', that is to say, when there is no grace to accommodate people, or there is the idea of monopolizing power, there is a person with political ambitions in the right place, and he does not have a prominent position, which can envelop everything, which will inevitably cause political unrest.

But seeing that Gao Gong only had sincerity on his face, he knew that he was too careful, so he also nodded solemnly and said: "I am willing to assist the new Zheng Gong and achieve this great cause!" ”

He is the second assistant, and when he said the words of 'assistant', Gao Gong, who was indispensable, also felt a little hot on his face, and said with a smile: "If you have the ambition to go hand in hand, go hand in hand, and assist each other." ”

"A bird can't fly without a head, and a beast can't fly without a head." Shen Mo shook his head and said, "It's better to take Xin Zheng Gong as the mainstay, and I will be the auxiliary." "Gao Gong can accept anyone calmly, but he can't be silent, and he is grateful again and again. But he was silently shouted: "I am not for the sake of fulfilling your personal position, purely for the sake of the country." Why are you pushing and procrastinating, do you still have a sī heart? ”

Being silently said this, Gao Gong was no longer modest, and arched his hand at him solemnly: "Then you should not let it go!" ”

"That's exactly how it should be!" Silence got up and went down to the hall, and said deeply to Gao Gong: "I hope that the public will never fall into this ambition with the national court as his mind!" ”

The high arch of "Jiangnan ......" was moved. He remembered that when the two were still in the country, they encouraged each other with the ambition of the world, and today, ten years later, it is finally time to realize their ideals.

Silence also moved into tears, and the two shook hands tightly, which was considered to have concluded an alliance, and then returned to their respective seats to discuss the next move.

"Now it's full of holes and sores," Gao Gong asked, "I don't know where Jiangnan thinks, where to start?" ”

"Establish authority first, and then clear the officials!" Shen Mo was not polite, and said in a deep voice: "Only by doing these two things well can we talk about specific reforms, otherwise it will be ......" said with a wry smile: "Just like the military reform I carried out, Zhang Taiyue's fiscal and tax reform is difficult, and it is frustrating to get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Yes, that's what I think." Gao Gong asked in a deep voice, "Then how do you do it?" ”

"To establish authority, we must first sweep away the residual prestige of our predecessors, and in the process, establish our own authority." Shen looked ahead, his eyes seemed to look through the wall, looking into the distant future, and said: "If you are a Qing official, you are a secretary of the ministry......

Gao Gong nodded slowly, and Shen Yín said for a moment: "Zhao Zhenji, what do you think?" ”

"This public is anxious and righteous, xiōng has the talent of warp and weft, and has the ambition to serve the country, which is a very rare person." Unexpectedly, Shen Mo's evaluation of Zhao Zhenji was very high.

This made Gao Gong's smile a little frozen, and his voice became heavy: "So, I can't touch him?" ”

"Gotta move." Shen Mo shook his head, and said with some sadness: "Zhang Taiyue is right, at this time of crisis, it is necessary to discuss and re-edict, and there is no room for so many voices. He sighed lightly and said: "Let this old man go to the locality, and any of the big people can have the best of both worlds." ”

Gao Gong nodded, "Not bad." ”——

Dizzy, writing and writing, fell asleep on the sofa, and it was dawn when I slept, and I couldn't tell it, Sarui Sarui.
