"I...change it!"

When all the civil and military officials of the dynasty heard this answer, many people's faces immediately showed a look of astonishment.

If this had happened before, Emperor Jiajing would have immediately ordered Hu Yingjia to be dragged out of the palace and beheaded directly, instead of "I changed it" as it is now.

But now it seems that the earlier rumors that Emperor Longqing was tolerant and humble were not groundless.

This Emperor Longqing is indeed very different from the tyrannical Emperor Jiajing. At least the current Emperor Longqing is definitely not a tyrant, and may even be a wise emperor.

Of course, Mingjun was the view of some elderly officials, and Longqing's actions were like a little sheep in the eyes of the Kedao Yanguan, a weak emperor who could let them naturally develop their talents.

The corner of Hu Yingjia's mouth raised slightly, but he continued to admonish in pursuit of victory: "Your Majesty, the so-called king has no jokes! I will always supervise the emperor, and I also ask the emperor to learn from this in private, and never do this again.

Wrong!"

Huh?

Many officials looked sideways and realized that Hu Yingjia's words had gone too far. Emperor Longqing had just said that he wanted to change things, but he was still so entangled and had become aggressive.

Although Gao Gong was fearless, he was not unreasonable in this matter. He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and threatened: "Chief Hu, please don't go too far!"

"Mr. Gao Ge, I'm just fulfilling my responsibilities as a scholar. I don't know where I went too far?" Hu Yingjia finally got this stage where he could give full play to his talents. He looked at Gao Gong and said loudly, as if he was killing everyone.

At this moment, he felt that the new dynasty was born for him, Hu Yingjia. Whether it was the current emperor or this high-ranking elder, they were just stepping stones for him.

Gao Gong's words were directly pushed back, and he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Originally, he wanted to directly use force to suppress others, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips. This situation was not suitable for this move.

"Your Majesty, if you can adopt my suggestion, I will die with no regrets!" Hu Yingjia had already made up his mind to gain a good reputation here, but he knelt down and begged.

Zhongji Hall is the smallest of the three halls. Although Hu Yingjia stood behind him, he could still hear his words clearly and even reverberated in the hall.

Long Qing was caught off guard. At the same time, he noticed Gao Gong's angry face, but he didn't know whether to respond to Hu Yingjia's request. He was immediately at a loss.

Lin Haoran saw this scene in his eyes, and naturally knew Hu Yingjia's little thoughts, but his brows frowned slightly.

Regardless of whether it is Emperor Longqing or civil and military officials like them, they actually have to go through a process of mutual friction in order to find their precise position.

Hu Yingjia's approach was actually very unwise. Although his move could certainly gain him a good reputation, the current Emperor Longqing was as docile as a sheep. After all, he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The current Emperor Longqing just had not yet grown out of his role as King Yu.

It's just a complete transformation.

In the original history, why Xu Jie, who had a firm grip on the court, chose to resign and leave was not because Li Chunfang did something behind the scenes, but because he knew that the emperor Longqing could not tolerate him.

That's right, no matter how docile Long Qing is now, once things go too far, when Long Qing becomes a real emperor, he will probably have to settle accounts after the fall.

Lin Haoran originally wanted to keep a low profile, but when he saw things develop to this point, especially when his allies were in trouble, he stood up and scolded sternly: "Chief Hu, how long are you going to keep messing around here!"

As soon as these words came out, the officials present looked at Lin Haoran in astonishment.

Although it was not surprising that Lin Haoran helped Gao Gong, it was not appropriate to reprimand Hu Yingjia so bluntly. After all, the court had weakened the hierarchy of official positions and wanted to talk about a rationale.

Xu Jie also didn't expect that Lin Haoran would be so out of character, so he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart, and turned to look at Lin Haoran with gloating.

Hu Yingjia thought he had cheated. Even though he was kneeling on the ground at this time, he responded with full force: "Mr. Lin Ge, are you trying to use your power to suppress others? Why should I correct the emperor's mistakes here?

Are you here to cause trouble?"

Huang Guangsheng and other officials also looked at Lin Haoran, but they didn't know which song Lin Haoran was singing.

Lin Haoran ignored the gazes of everyone, but solemnly raised his hands to Long Qing and said: "I have Lin Haoran, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of the Ministry of War, who has this memorial!"

Huh?

Huang Guangsheng and other officials suddenly discovered that Xu Jie and Gao Gong seemed to have missed their official positions and names just now.

"Lin Aiqing, please tell me!" Although Long Qing didn't know which song Lin Haoran sang, he always had a good impression of Lin Haoran and he raised his hand and said politely.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yuanfu just proposed to pardon the loyal Hai Rui. This move can appease all the officials. Mr. Gaoge is even more forward-looking. His Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, and the top priority is to stabilize the world! I sincerely request that the title of Prince Zheng be restored immediately. Here

Lift

It can not only correct Emperor Daxing's mistake in handling King Zheng's remonstrance, but also calm the hearts of hundreds of thousands of clan members and demonstrate the emperor's reputation of caring for the clan!" After Lin Haoran praised Xu Jie and Gao Gong, he was about to propose his proposal.

Throw it out.

During the reign of Jiajing, in addition to hundreds of officials admonishing Jiajing for practicing Taoism and refining elixirs, in the 29th year of Jiajing, King Zheng Zhu Hounan went to admonish Jiajing for practicing Xuan, and was demoted to a commoner.

If Xu Jie's request for amnesty to Hai Rui was to gain fame and clear away his mistakes, then Lin Haoran's proposal to restore Prince Zheng's title is undoubtedly more public-spirited and is indeed conducive to stabilizing the world.

Although Long Qing was the only legal heir to Jiajing, he did not have the status of a prince. Once the local vassal king took advantage of this, it would undoubtedly be a great disadvantage to Long Qing's throne.

If the mistakes committed by Jiajing back then were corrected now, it would not only comfort the loyal Zheng Wang family, but also allow other side families to see Long Qing's tolerant side.

Of course, these are actually just nice words. The clan of the Ming Dynasty was completely unable to shake Long Qing's position. Although they occupied great righteousness, they had no great effect.

"What Mr. Lin Ge said is reasonable. Please restore the title of Prince Zheng immediately!" Gao Gong also realized the beauty and necessity of this move and immediately agreed.

"I second the proposal!" Lei Li and others were all old men in the officialdom. After realizing that restoring the title of King Zheng could indeed arrange the clan, they also made requests to Long Qing.

Long Qing didn't know much about King Han's affairs. Out of his trust in Gao Gong and the fact that all the officials asked him for help, he obeyed and said: "Okay, I will give it to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Haoran was not surprised by this result and led the officials in saluting.

However, after this small episode, which undoubtedly diluted the previous conflict, Hu Yingjia still knelt on the ground and glared, but he did not want Lin Haoran to directly bypass him, the official, to explain the matter.

After everyone calmed down, he immediately asked Lin Haoran relentlessly: "Mr. Lin Ge, you have to explain to me why I am so stubborn."

this……

The officials present couldn't help but look at each other, Hu Yingjia was going to bite Lin Haoran today.

But this is the scary thing about Kedao's officials. Although they are only seventh-grade officials, they have the power to speak out and dare to bite anyone.

Zhu Heng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, had experienced Hu Yingjia's terror and couldn't help but look at Lin Haoran worriedly.

Lin Haoran was naturally not afraid of this. When he saw Hu Yingjia biting his pants like a mad dog, he asked calmly: "Chief Hu, do you know what day it is today?"

"Today is the day when the emperor ascends the throne, but since I am a scholar, I naturally have the obligation to correct the emperor's mistakes in the court. How can I let the emperor make mistakes again and again!" Hu Yingjia frowned slightly, but said with a strong attitude.

Only then did Huang Guangsheng and other officials realize that although Hu Yingjia's move was right, the date chosen was indeed open to question. After all, today was the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, and it was indeed not suitable for such unyielding behavior.

"Chief Hu, you have made two major mistakes!" Lin Haoran immediately concluded, then raised two fingers and said eloquently: "First, today is the day when the emperor ascends the throne, so direct admonishment is suspected of inviting fame.

Secondly, the Emperor is currently conducting a special meeting of Longen. Mr. Yuanfu and Mr. Gao Ge are giving advice to the Emperor on how to stabilize the world. Beware of Xiaoxiao taking advantage of the instability of the new dynasty to cause chaos. Do you really not know which is more serious and which is less?"

this……

Huang Guangsheng and other officials did not expect that the always low-key Mr. Lin Ge would be such a domineering person, but they had to admit that his words made sense.

If this were the court in the future, it wouldn't be a big deal for Hu Yingjia to gain fame by exploiting the emperor's faults. But today was the day he ascended the throne, and the emperor was especially favored to discuss matters. As a result, Hu Yingjia had to challenge several cabinet elders who proposed important matters.

thing.

It can be seen from this that Lin Haoran just stood up and accused Hu Yingjia of "being messy", and he was really not wrong at all. Hu Yingjia should indeed be told to shut up.

Xu Jie had already seen Lin Haoran's eloquence in debating, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh when he saw how easily the situation was reversed by him in just a few words.

He knew that although Hu Yingjia was a spokesman for Ke Dao, he could not be the opponent of this young man who did not respect martial ethics. In this tolerant Long Qing Dynasty, although Ke Dao Yan Guan could give full play to his talents, the most dazzling one was probably

This monster.

Hu Yingjia saw the horror of Lin Haoran, but did not intend to admit defeat: "State affairs are important, but as a scholar, I should always dare to directly remonstrate with the emperor and correct the emperor's mistakes. This is the way to be loyal to the emperor."

!”

"Haha... I dare to ask Section Chief Hu when he entered the science department!" Lin Haoran pretended to laugh, and then asked lightly.

Hu Yingjia initially served as the magistrate of Yichun County in Jiangxi Province, but after being promoted by Xu Jie, he took up the post of Like within three years. He immediately seemed a little smug and said: "I have been in the Like since the 37th year of Jiajing, and now I have moved to

Everything is in order!"

"Based on this, it has been nine years since you entered the Kedao!" Lin Haoran simply counted the days, and immediately changed the subject and asked: "Chief Guo, since you are so dedicated to your duties, you don't know that when Emperor Daxing is fasting,

Can you say something? When Emperor Daxing built the Taoist palace, could you say something? Emperor Daxing did not establish a heir, so what can you say?"

this……

When Huang Guangsheng and other officials heard this question, they couldn't help but look at each other. Hu Yingjia's so-called devotion to duty was really untenable. It was clearly self-deception.

"Mr. Lin Ge, then you didn't either..." Hu Yingjia saw that Lin Haoran was about to expose this matter, and even wanted to lift Lin Haoran into the water, but suddenly there was a cough next to him, and he had to spit it to his mouth.

The words were swallowed back.

Although he could also blame Lin Haoran for not going to court to directly remonstrate with him, he would undoubtedly offend a large group of court bosses and even directly affect his status as the chief minister of the court.

After all, he is not a truly dedicated official, and his actions just now were just for fame.

Xu Jie's face darkened, and he looked at Lin Haoran warily, but he didn't know whether Lin Haoran was just attacking Hu Yingjia, or was trying to draw fire to an old man like him.

Hu Yingjia also realized the problem, so he changed his words and said: "I have no choice but to be a low-ranking official, but now I am loyal to my duty and I have not made any mistakes!"

"Chief Hu, you are right after all. You are not the one who has the final say in this matter!" Lin Haoran said lightly, and then solemnly raised his hands to Long Qing and said: "Your Majesty, if you follow the imperial edict, you will inevitably have some upright scientific principles.

The official was reinstated. Therefore, I asked the Beijing Inspectorate to focus on inspecting the Department of Science and Technology next year. This can not only screen out some incompetent officials, but also make room for the reinstatement of the Department of Science and Technology officials!"

this……

Zhang Shouzhi and other officials seemed to be getting to know Mr. Lin Ge all over again. They did not expect that he was so tough and dared to point the finger at the most untouchable department.

It's just that Lin Haoran's reasons seem very sufficient, not to mention that these Ke Dao officials were originally "incompetent", and now they naturally have to make way for Ke Dao who dares to speak out.

Many officials knew that this was not a trivial matter, and had even smelled the smell of gunpowder, but they all raised their heads and looked at Xu Jie, the chief minister of the dynasty, who was standing at the front.

Among the current Ke Dao speakers, Xu Dang is actually the majority. Ke Taoists such as Hu Yingjia, Ouyang Yijing and Zhang Xianchen are all Xu Jie’s minions. In Nanjing, there are Lu Fengyi, Luo Jingbin and other Ke Dao who used to be excepted.
