.Chapter 834: Time is out (Part 1)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Gao Gong only rested at home for two days, and then came to the cabinet to report on the tenth day of the lunar month.
At that time, all the Grand Secretary in the cabinet were there. When he saw this man with a cool beard and sharp gaze coming in from outside, he couldn't help but become bright.
"Here..." "It's early..." The cabinet ministers stood up one after another and gave him a perfect greeting in an attitude of not losing the price.
The most embarrassing thing was Li Chunfang, the Grand Secretary who was once ranked under Gao Gong and is now the chief minister. Looking at Gao Bei, who nodded to everyone, didn’t know whether to stand up or continue to sit, he had to welcome him in an awkward posture similar to taking off.
Fortunately, Gao Gong did not embarrass him and bowed to him first.
Only then did Li Chunfang stand up completely, hold his fists and return the salute to him, and smiled and said, "I thought Brother Zhongxuan could rest for a few more days."
"I can't wait..." Gao Gong said with a loud voice: "When I think of so many things to do, I can't stay for a moment."
"We are a role model, we are a role model." Everyone laughed.
After a simple greeting, it was natural to sit down. Under the complex gaze of everyone, Gao Gongshen sat in the last place as usual, looking at the empty table in front of him. He smiled casually, then put down the stack of texts he brought with him, began to focus on reading, ignoring the gaze of others at all.
After looking at him for a while, everyone finally turned around and did their own things, but they were all absent-minded, worried that he would get angry at any time... It's no wonder, after all, everyone thinks that the treatment of being accompanies the last seat is really aggrieved for Gao Gong, who can't bear the grievance.
After waiting worriedly for a while, seeing that Gao Gong still did not change his face, Li Chun calmed down and cleared his throat and said, "Let's start." The daily routine cabinet meeting began.
At first, Zhao Zhenji was still quite restrained because he was concerned about Gao Gong's existence, but as the meeting began, especially when the financial and tax reform was underway, he couldn't stop it anymore. He said to Zhang Juzheng, and he couldn't say it, so he cursed: "Zhang Zi, this is the plan that Master Xu has decided at the time. How dare you, a student, overthrow it?"
Zhang Juzheng was speechless for a moment and was about to endure it as before, but he heard a bang.
Everyone hurriedly looked in the sound, but saw Gao Gong slapped his palm on the table. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Gao Gong clapped his hands and said as if nothing had happened: "Kill the buzzing mosquito to death, you can continue..."
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that it was true or false? But he couldn't be scared. So they continued, and as they talked, they started arguing again. This time it was Zhao Zhenji and Gao Yi, who were doing the ceremony for the ceremony.
Although Gao Yi has a good temper, he can't stand Zhao Zhenji's fingers at him... He thought to himself that you have left the Ministry of Rites, why are you so lenient? But he couldn't say that Lao Zhao could only listen to him silently and teach him a lesson.
Zhao Zhenji was spitting like a blow, but he heard a bang again, which scared him so much that he shivered. After seeing the sound, Gao Gong slapped the table with his palm.
"Why, there are mosquitoes again?" Zhao Zhenji asked Gao Gong opposite him with a dark face.
"Yes, what a big black mosquito." Gao Gong clapped his hands and sneered.
"There are not so many mosquitoes in the cabinet..." Zhao Zhenji was a fool and knew that this guy was targeting him.
"No?" Gao Gong pretended to be ignorant: "Then why do I always hear annoying buzzing?
"What did you say?" Zhao Zhenji's eyes widened. Since he stood up in the cabinet, he had not dared to feel unhappy with him.
"Have you ever said so clearly?" Gao Gong sneered again: "I'm afraid some people can't bear to worry about their face."
"You..." Seeing that the fire between the two of them became stronger and stronger, everyone quickly persuaded them. After all, it was the first day, and Gao Gong didn't want to cause trouble, so he snorted and turned his head over.
Zhao Zhenji knew that Lao Gao was not a soft persimmon, so he dared to pinch it casually, so he snorted and stopped saying a word.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a weird atmosphere, the meeting ended in a hurry.
After the meeting, we naturally had to arrange accommodation for Gao Gong... Due to frequent personnel changes, the accommodation in the cabinet has undergone great changes. So far, Li Chunfang and Shen Mo each live in a single room, and then Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi, Chen Yiqin and Zhao Zhenji are in the same room. So we either beat everyone up and divide them, or we just have the same room as Shen Mo.
After understanding the situation, Gao Gong said to Li Chunfang, "Stop messing around, Jiangnan and I will be in the same room." After making a decision last night, he remembered to ask, "Jiangnan, do you have no objection?"
"I can't ask for it." Shen Mo smiled and held his hand tightly and said, "Xi Xin Zheng Gong has always been united, and things in the world can still be done!" Gao Gong smiled at the sight of him.
Because Gao Gong had been violating for a long time, he naturally had to be familiar with government affairs first, so there was no specific job on the first day. He just read the memorials and listened to the other people's meetings. Then, when Zhao Zhenji was angry, he suppressed his momentum. After a day, Lao Zhao, who had always been invincible, was very upset.
Everyone saw all this and smiled in their hearts, and said to himself: "Now Zhao Bawang has an opponent."
Before I knew it, it was Shen Shi. Because there were too many meetings today, there were two stacks of memos that had not finished reading. Therefore, Shen Mo asked someone to tell his family that he would not go back tonight... The officials in the cabinet were diligent and had long been accustomed to this.
Before dinner, Shen Mo asked the clerk to move the remaining memorials back to the pay room. After dinner, he returned to the first pay room in the east and continued his unfinished work... In fact, Shen Mo usually does not work overtime, and will not bring his work back to the pay room. I don’t know why he made an exception today.
After marking it for a quarter of an hour, Mén was pushed away. Shen Mo looked up and Gao Gong was back. He put down his pen and said, "I didn't see you when I was having dinner. I thought you were home."
"Well, I'm going home, but I'm back." Gao Gong washed his face in the basin and said, "The old woman is sick, so I'm not at ease."
"Then what else to do when you come back is nothing important." Shen Mo said with a smile.
"I can't stand it," Gao Gong pulled a towel from the basin rack to wipe his face. Shen Mo wanted to say that it was my towel, but he held back and said nothing. He then heard Gao Gong continue, "I watched coldly for a day today and found that the current situation of the cabinet is not optimistic."
"Oh?" Chen Si closed the memorial book, put it in hand, and waited for Gao Gong to continue talking.
"It's too low to be shirked, it's conservative and inappropriate." Gao Gong summed up sixteen words and said: "You can't continue like this, you need to change!"
"Yes." Chen Si nodded slightly, his face had a bit of mysterious color under the light, and said, "What are you going to do?"
"Before discussing this issue," Gao Gong said, "I want to confirm something with you first."
"Yes." Silent said lightly.
"Do you know Daxia Shao?" Gao Gong stared at the silent.
"Shao Daxia?" The silent eyes were confused for a moment, but nodded quickly and said, "I beat him once and said... During the Nanjing Zhenwu Camp mutiny, he sent a ship of silver to free me." Having said, there was no feeling in the face of silence: "This is a famous broker. There are many shadows of a big family behind him, which makes me owe this favor, and I am still uneasy."
Hearing Chen Si's words, Gao Gong lost his confidence instead, and said, "So, he is not yours anymore?"
"No." Chen Silence shook his head slowly.
"..." Gao Gong fell into silence. His feelings for Daxia Shao were very complicated. First of all, of course he was grateful. Repaying kindness was his foundation. Secondly, he was not lacking in vigilance and alertness. This is not difficult to understand... A person from the martial arts world can actually contact the palace, and the stay and leave of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Behind the ridiculous story, there are many unknown secrets hidden, and they do not know what threat they will pose to their future.
After a long time, Gao Gong let out a sip of turbid air and said, "So, I don't need to accept your affection?"
"You don't need to receive anyone's affection." Silently nodded, "Because you, Gao Xinzheng, are the one who is destined to take charge of the universe in Longqing."
The information hidden behind his words made Gao Gong feel a little slap in his heart, and he secretly shouted: "He is indeed the mastermind behind the scenes!" Gao Gong could understand that he was unwilling to admit Chen Si, because on the one hand, Xu Jie stepped down, and doing so would have a bit of a lie to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors; on the other hand, instructing people from the world to conspire with the eunuchs in the palace is not a glorious means, and Chen Si will not admit it.
Although Chen Si did not intend to take credit, Gao Gong still accepted his feelings and stood up for the first time and bowed silently toward him.
Chen Silent sighed softly, and walked around to the desk and helped him up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two sat in the row of pineapple wood back chairs, looking at each other and smiling. They both knew that the other party was a person who only saw equal matches in their lives but also had similar scents. There was no need to say anything more. Silently asking Gao Gong to come out of the mountain is for the purpose of governing the country. If you have any si-hearts, why bother to move this strong enemy out of the mountain?
"You and I can be said to be Guan Bao." This time, the silence was first spoken and said with a smile: "I hope you, Guan Zhong, don't let me down."
Seeing Guan Zhong, a great reformer, complimenting himself, Gao Gong's face showed a strong confidant, "Today, Ziji's destiny is a secret, who will be the king of kings and wise? I believe in my close friends, but I am not under Zhou, but under the summons. Now the national affairs are in danger, like a sage, and I need you and my brothers to work together and work together to work together, and hope to summon the friendship between the two of them to achieve great achievements that have never been seen before!"
Silence was stunned by his first words. "Shu Junshi Preface" says: "Duke Zhou is his teacher, Duke Zhao is the protector, and King Zhao is the right to join the king, and Duke Zhao is unhappy." In other words, when there is no elegance tolerant or the idea of ​​monopolizing power, there is a person with political ambitions on the left, and he does not have an outstanding position, which can cover everything, which will inevitably cause political uneasiness.
But seeing that Gao Gong had only sincere feelings on his face, he knew that he was too heartless, so he also said, "I hope to assist Mr. Xin Zheng to achieve this great cause!"
He was the second assistant, and said the words of "assistant", which made Gao Gong feel a little hot on his face, and laughed and said, "If you have the ambitions, go hand in hand and help each other."
"Birds fly without heads, and beasts cannot do without heads." Chen Si shook his head and said, "It's better to take Xin Zheng as the main and I'll be the auxiliary." Gao Gong could accept it calmly to anyone, but he couldn't do it, and thanked him again and again. However, he was shouted by Chen Si: "I'm not trying to fulfill your personal reputation, but purely for the country. Why do you push and delay? Is there still a sense of si?"
After being silent, Gao Gong no longer modestly and bowed to him seriously, "Then let it be yourselves!"
"It should be like this!" Chen Ji stood up and went down to the hall, bowed deeply to Gao Gong and said, "I hope that the public will never lose this ambition with the country and court!"
"Jiangnan..." Gao Gong was so moved. He remembered that when the two were still in the Imperial College, they encouraged each other with the will of the world. Ten years later, it was finally time to realize their ideals.
The silence was filled with tears in his eyes. The two of them shook hands tightly, forming an alliance, and then they returned to their respective seats and discussed the next moves.
"Now there are many holes and many things," Gao Gong asked, "I don't know where Jiangnan thinks should start?"
"First establish authority, then clear the administration!" Chen Si was not polite, and said in a deep voice: "Only by doing these two things well can we talk about specific reforms, otherwise..." He 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 half the result with twice the effort, which is frustrating."
"Yes, I think so too." Gao Gong asked in a deep voice: "So how should I do it?"
"To establish authority, you must first eliminate the remaining power of your ex. In this process, establish your own authority." Looking ahead silently, your eyes seemed to look through the wall, looking at the distant future and said: "If you want to be the Qing officials, you are the Minister of Personnel..."
Gao Gong nodded slowly, Shen Yin said for a moment: "What do you think of Zhao Zhenji?"
"This man is eager to be righteous, has the talent of morality, and has the ambition to serve the country, which is a very rare person." Unexpectedly, Chen Si's evaluation of Zhao Zhenji was very high.
This made Gao Gong's smile a little frozen, and his voice became heavy: "So, can't I touch him?"
"It must be moved." Chen Si shook his head and said sadly: "Zhang Taiyue is right. At this time of crisis, he must discuss and pay tribute, and cannot tolerate so many voices." He sighed and said: "Let this old man go to the local area, and any senior official can have the best of both worlds."
Gao Gong nodded and said, "Not bad."
