Chapter 610 609 The Enemy of a Lifetime

"What? Uncle was called to the palace by Master Xu?"

At this time, the eunuch who went to the school recording hall had already returned and whispered to Li Fang and Wei Guangde to report the news he heard in the school recording hall.

Wei Guangde just frowned, feeling inappropriate, but he couldn't say it, and Li Fang's reaction was much bigger.

Since Zhang Juzheng was not found, the people in the royal palace no longer sent anyone to find him. Anyway, there are many people in the royal palace now, and there are enough people to give advice.

Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan were older, mainly because they discussed with Li Fang what preparations the royal family should make to avoid being caught off guard when things came. Wei Guangde sat quietly aside, and was happy to hide in leisure.

In a wing room in the backyard of the royal mansion, King Yu sat there blankly, and had been in this position for a long time.

Today, he finally met his father whom he had been thinking about day and night, but it became his last.

At this time, King Yu was still recalling what Emperor Jiajing said to him after he returned to the dragon couch with Emperor Jiajing on his back.

"You are not a competent emperor. Fortunately, with the assistance of wise ministers, no major incident will happen."

Thinking of what his father said to him, King Yu felt a little painful for no reason.

He knew that among the few brothers, he was the stupidest one, and he could not even compare with King Jing.

But in the end, Emperor Jiajing decided to pass the throne to him in an orderly manner according to the orderly manner of the elders and young people. During this period, he tried and stimulated many times, hoping that he could grow up, but in the end the emperor was still disappointed.

Thinking of this, King Yu finally moved.

He took out the only thing that Emperor Jiajing gave him from his arms. A note slowly unfolded, and the names of the three people "Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng" were written in turn.

"When there is no mistake when it is used in sequence."

Emperor Jiajing was not at ease with his only son, and he considered it in all aspects.

However, when King Yu saw the memorial that was taken out with the note, he was angry.

That was the public security in Hai Rui. He was left alone by Emperor Jiajing and would be angry for a while after not watching it.

"No country, no home, no king or father."

King Yu still remembers the comments on Hai Rui when Emperor Jiajing threw the "Public Security Memorial" to him.

Although the whole chapter of "Public Security Memorial" seems to be advising Emperor Jiajing to reform himself, what does he think is written in it?

He is superstitious about witchcraft, lives a luxurious life, ignores the government and ignores the people.

It seems that he is admonishing, but isn't he pointing at his nose and scolding?

He has basically done everything that the foolish monarch should do and what he can do.

From ancient times to the present, no minister dared to use these words to criticize the emperor.

In just over three thousand words, every word was stabbed in the heart of Emperor Jiajing like a knife.

But even so, Emperor Jiajing still asked him to pardon Hai Rui and gather Qingliu's heart.

Regardless of whether Hai Rui is willing or not, whether he is in love or not, Qingliu is now pushing him out to be a signboard.

Such a person is really impossible to kill.

Can't really be killed?

King Yu asked himself in his heart?

For no reason, King Yu thought of Wei Guangde.

Wei Guangde also said similar things: Hai Rui cannot die, at least he cannot die in prison.

"Hai Rui is a knife. You can control him. Whoever you hate and don't want to use, you can let Hai Rui deal with him.

I know their thoughts, but there are also a group of loyal ministers, although they dare not risk their lives to give advice.

Seeing Hai Rui’s memorial expressing their thoughts that they wanted to express but were afraid to express. For them, Hai Rui was a weapon to speak out for them.”

At this moment, King Yu kept thinking about what Emperor Jiajing said to him, and analyzed the inside and outside of the court in detail. Even Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin and others who he trusted simply evaluated it.

Wei Guangde's evaluation is: it is useful, but it cannot be the chief assistant. His relationship with Nanjing is too complicated, and the consequences of being used are difficult to predict.

"The will? When did Your Majesty make the will?"

At this time, in the Ganqing Palace, Xu Jie took out the "Jiajing Decree" drawn up by Zhang Juzheng to show him for the other three cabinet ministers, but Gao Gong had already questioned him loudly without reading it.

Emperor Jiajing would not leave a last edict to himself. If there was an edict, it would only be the "Edict to Pass the Throne".

According to convention, the emperor's will should have been drafted by the cabinet ministers, and Xu Jie should never do this alone.

When they entered the palace just now, they happened to see Zhang Juzheng leaving, but they didn't think much about it at the time. But now, Gao Gong has guessed that Xu Jie must have let Zhang Juzheng participate in the drafting of this will.

When can a young minister of Taichang Temple do what a cabinet minister can do?

Will all the cabinet ministers be removed from office and abdicated to the students who will give up their posts to Xu Jie in the next moment?

When Gao Gong said that, Li Fang and Guo Pu were both not good-looking on their faces and didn't reach out to answer.

Xu Jie broke the rules this time, and Li Chunfang, as a good man, was also very dissatisfied.

However, Li Chunfang only thought that Xu Jie's purpose of doing this was to demonstrate his chief assistant's rights, and did not think too much about it.

"I am the chief minister and I was entrusted by the former emperor to draft a will. What's wrong with it?"

When Xu Jie saw the attitude of the three of them, he said dissatisfied.

Although he was dissatisfied on the surface, he enjoyed it very much in his heart. It was not because he had the advantage, but because he knew from Gao Gong's words that he had achieved his goal.

In the side hall, the arguments between several cabinet ministers were of course carried by others on their backs. The eunuchs who were originally serving in the house were driven far away.

If the eunuchs and eunuchs were present at this time, they would definitely find it very interesting. Only the old eunuchs who had been in the palace for a long time knew that such quarrels were actually not uncommon in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

The will was the emperor who reviewed the governance achievements during his reign and reviewed the mistakes. At the same time, he also declared that he was terminally ill and was about to die. At the same time, he declared his heirs, and tried his best to continue his efforts to tell the ministers to assist the new emperor with all their hearts, as well as to request funerals and appease the vassal kings and local powerful ministers.

For the emperor, he is almost dead. Not to mention the achievements he had during his reign, even if he is really angry with both humans and gods, and what he is doing is not human affairs, there is no need to scold himself.

Then this job is obvious. It cannot be written by the emperor himself, but by the actual organizer, that is, the ministers of the current dynasty, especially the cabinet ministers, who are the specific drafters of the will.

The formulation of the will is obviously a best time to summarize all the faults of the previous dynasty, whitewash their own mistakes, and attack political enemies. Therefore, the formulation of the will is naturally a key area that the court officials in the Ming Dynasty must fight for. Whoever controls the will will have the initiative in the court in the future.

Participating in the will actually mean you can enter the cabinet.

Xu Jie asked Zhang Juzheng to participate in the drafting of the will, but in fact he wanted to carry Zhang Juzheng into the cabinet.

It was Zhang Juzheng that Xu Jie brought it into the cabinet, which would inevitably arouse Gao Gong's dissatisfaction with Zhang Juzheng.

The relationship between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng is very complicated. The two of them have many common topics when they get together. Although their political ideas are biased, their general direction is consistent.

This made Xu Jie very alert, worried that Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong would stand together, which would be too unfavorable for him.

Zhang Juzheng is his optimistic successor and is also the basis for his Xu family to continue to be rich.

If Zhang Juzheng really turned to Gao Gong, with his relationship with Gao Gong, Xu Jie could predict what the Xu family would be like after he retired.

Zhang Juzheng participated in drafting the Jiajing imperial edict, so Gao Gong would definitely treat him as a lifelong hostility and would not have the intention to win over him again.

Because Gao Gong's personality is so domineering.

He will not weigh the pros and cons, and he will completely judge right or wrong according to his personal subjective consciousness.

A person like him is not a qualified politician, and this is also destined to be vulnerable to the face of real politicians.

Of course, such a thing would never happen during the reign of King Yu.

"Several adults, should we issue a will and announce this matter? We can't just drag it all the time."

I don’t know how long it took, Huang Jin, who had been staying in the bedroom, was a little impatient and could not wait for news from the cabinet ministers. He could not hide the news from His Majesty’s great cause.

Finally, Huang Jin came to the side hall and opened the door and asked.

Now he is the only one in the palace who has this prestige and can barely have an equal dialogue with these cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Gao Gong, who was urging by Huang Jin, had been arguing with Xu Jie about re-preparing the will. He temporarily shut up because Li Chunfang and Guo Pu had read the will just now and were not dissatisfied with the content.

In fact, it doesn’t matter to Li Chunfang what the will looks like, but he is not interested in Xu Jie’s unauthorized drafting.

Xu Jie actually grasped this point, so he dared to take action privately.

As for Gao Gong and Guo Pu, Xu Jie did not take it seriously. He did not plan for each other and was not a member of the same place.

Xu Jie cherishes the hard-won position of chief minister very much. Gao Gong covets it, so let him wait.

Seeing that the atmosphere inside was not good, Huang Jin looked at Xu Jie, then Gao Gong, and finally fell on the second auxiliary Li Chunfang.

"Mr. Li, what do you say?"

Li Chunfang was asked about it by Huang Jin at this time, but she didn't know how to express her opinion.

But in the end, he was still weak in character and there was no big problem with the content of the will. He nodded, "I don't have any objection."

The chief assistant and the second assistant reached an agreement. For Guo Pu and Gao Gong, even if they had any opinions, they could only hold them back.

Xu Jie finally ended up laughing in this battle.

"Okay, then let's take care of Mo Yi."
