In fact, the most important reason why the first assistant Liu Yijing and other Donglin party members opposed Gao Jie's marquis was that they had long learned from their children and grandchildren that Gao Jie had a close relationship with Wei Zhongxian's nephew, and if he was made a marquis, he would definitely become the most dazzling among the young people of the Ming Dynasty, which would not only overshadow Sun Qianguang and Zhao Yilang, the "double pride of the capital", but also affect the prestige of the Donglin party in the government and the opposition. In other words, if Gao Jie is a nephew or a close friend of one of them, then there is no problem, maybe Liu Yijing and others will sing praises and make some credit for Gao Jie, so that he deserves more fame.

Seeing that so many ministers were opposed, the Emperor of the Apocalypse turned pale, pursed his lips and did not speak for a long time.

The Mongol envoys, led by Zhentu, sat quietly on the sidelines and watched the excitement with great interest. In Mongolia, Lin Dan Khan has not been able to unify the various tribes under his command, and this kind of court disputes also occur from time to time, but those are some tribal leaders with the same status as Lin Dan Khan, unlike the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's conferral was repeatedly issued by a cadre of ministers. It can be seen that the young emperor of the Apocalypse has not really sat on the throne, and his prestige is still insufficient.

At the time of the stalemate, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, couldn't stand it anymore, and walked up to His Majesty with difficulty, and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Jie is the righteous brother recognized by His Royal Highness King Xin, and he should belong to the imperial family; and in today's bow competition, he defeated many strong opponents, including the Mongolian envoy team, and won the crown, which is also a great achievement! Not to mention that the archery skills he displayed when shooting willows are really rare among my Ming teenagers, and they can be described as having a bright future, and the ministers approve of Your Majesty's bestowal title!"

Zhu Youzhen was young, and he was a little frightened by the momentum of the ministers on the field just now, but now when he saw that the emperor's uncle took the lead in agreeing to the emperor's brother's award, he immediately jumped up and stood side by side with Zhu Changxun, expressing his seconding of the blessing of the king.

Seeing this, the other relatives of the emperor present also stood on the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, instead of other officials of the Donglin Party, who had been squeezed out by these Donglin people who controlled the government in the court, and chose to support the emperor and make their position clear. So in the Taihe Palace, the ministers formed two camps with a clear pattern, and it can be seen that the situation in the court of the Ming Dynasty today is very complicated, and it is quite a bit of a "monarch is not a king, and the minister is not a minister". The current situation is mainly because Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong and Zhu Youxiao, the father and son of Emperor Tianqi, were able to ascend the throne as emperors, and the Donglin Party can be said to have made great contributions. It is precisely because of this that the Donglin Party, which was weakening during the Wanli Emperor's period, was later deeply valued by Guangzong and Emperor Tianqi, and soon occupied most of the important positions in the cabinet and the six ministries, and controlled the government in their hands. Emperor Tianqi has just been on the throne for two years, and he is basically illiterate, although these literati who read poetry and books in the Donglin Party support his ascendancy, it does not mean that they really put this little emperor who "does not understand the government" in their eyes, that is to say, supporting the Apocalypse is just for the political purpose of Donglin people to be able to control the government.

In the two years that Emperor Zhu Youxiao became the emperor, because he had little study, was young, and was not familiar with the government and politics, he could only let Liu Yijing, Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing and other Donglin people have the final say.

Now that he has finally received the support of King Fu and others, Zhu Youxiao has become emboldened, slapped a heavy slap on the case, and shouted: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss this matter again!"

Liu Yijing and the others had never seen the Emperor of the Apocalypse so tough, and they were a little stunned, although they were in the position of high-ranking officials and had some inflated ambitions, they didn't dare to really argue with the emperor, so they had to retreat. Who knew that Yang Lian, the "cannon barrel", still did not give up, and continued to play: "Your Majesty, if you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, it will be dark, which is the truth upheld by the emperor Ming Jun since ancient times.

Among the Donglin Party members, the most tough, bold, and active are not Liu Yijing and other high-ranking officials, it is precisely Yang Lian who is in this district of the seven products, and I don't know if he is really not afraid of death, or if he has another purpose, anyway, he will become the vanguard of the Donglin Party people charging into battle every time.

Emperor Apocalypse didn't expect that he even slapped the table, but he still couldn't suppress this Yang Lian, and he was suddenly at a loss again. Emperor Tianqi was deeply impressed by this Yang Lian, that is, he took Liu Yijing, Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin party members to snatch him back from his father's favorite concubine Xili Li Xuanzhi and supported him as the emperor, and it was also this Yang Lian who took the lead in attacking Xili and forced him to move from the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lived to Renshou Palace, where the concubines were old, so that Zhu Youxiao really got rid of the control of Xili Li Xuanzhi, which is also the famous "palace transfer case". So how to deal with Yang Lian, Emperor Tianqi was really a little at a loss.

"Who said that the high-ranking students are inferior? It's just nonsense!" A loud angry shout came from the door of the main hall, everyone looked back, only to see an old man wearing a high crown, wearing a black robe, and an old man in a yellow suit embroidered with flying fish groups striding into the Taihe Palace, his hair and beard were all gray, nearly seventy years old, but he was tiger and tiger in his actions, and he came to the front of His Majesty in a moment, knelt down and worshipped: "Chen Luo Sigong has seen Your Majesty, may my emperor live long live!"

When Emperor Tianqi saw that Luo Sigong, one of the most favored ministers of Emperor Wanli and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was here, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and said, "Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly!"

Luo Sigong is a friend that Emperor Wanli has made since he was a child, and he is also his most favored right-hand man, so he was named the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

After Luo Sigong thanked him, he stood up, looked at Yang Lian coldly and shouted: "In your little gift, you are rude to the saint, and you have been entangled again and again, and it is clear that you have no king, so don't hurry up and retreat!"

Don't really say it, this Yang Lian is really a freak, if he were someone else, he would have promised to retreat a long time ago, but this guy looked at Luo Sigong and did not back down, and said with a stalk around his neck: "Although my Yang Lian's official position is humble, since I have done it, I should fulfill my responsibility as an official, and I should fight for things that are inappropriate, Lord Luo just reprimanded me for talking nonsense, but what is the reason?!"

Gao Jie has been kneeling, silent, but has been observing the people and things happening in the hall, of course he was happy to see the sudden arrival of the uncle, but the most impressive is this bold Yang Lian.

Luo Sigong didn't expect this little thing to be so hard-hearted, and snorted coldly: "Do you think that I just came back from other places, and I don't know the situation, and I am reprimanding you indiscriminately?

As soon as Luo Sigong's words came out, not only were all civil and military officials stunned, but even Emperor Tianqi, King Xin, King Fu and Wei Zhongxian were deeply surprised. Luo Sigong can be regarded as the number one master in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone does not know the origin of his master, but he must be a top faction, Gao Jie is not only his nephew, but he is not only an extraordinary person, but he is afraid that martial arts are not general.

Although Yang Lian was still not convinced at the moment, he could only bow his head and be speechless, quickly thinking about what to do.

Luo Sigong raised his feet and walked to his side, and said softly: "Don't think about finding excuses like Gao Jie's lack of success, today's ability to beat the Mongolian envoy in the bow competition, and strengthen my great reputation, isn't it a great achievement?!

Yang Lian looked at Luo Sigong blankly, was silent for a moment, then nodded, knelt down, and said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Weichen knows that he is wrong, please punish the saint!"

Emperor Apocalypse loved and hated this Yang Lian, sighed secretly in his heart, waved his hand and said: "It is also the duty of the official to speak, so you can step down!"

Since then, Gao Jie's marquis has been officially settled and has come to an end.

Luo Sigong and Gao Jie in Puzhou after a farewell, there rushed to other places in Shanxi to continue the inspection, just returned to the capital at noon today, I listened to his son Luo Yangxing reported the matter of shooting the willow, after hearing about Gao Jie's performance, the old man was naturally happy, even the mansion did not return, directly rushed to the Taihe Palace, just happened to meet Gao Jie's dispute over the marquis.

Emperor Apocalypse asked Wei Zhongxian to arrange a seat for Luo Sigong and ordered the banquet to continue.
