"The tuberculosis ghost?" Gao Jingshi stood up in shock: "How could the tuberculosis ghost be chosen as the consort?"
Although he felt that he had no "love" for Princess Yongning, she was a pretty good girl even regardless of her status as a princess. It was unacceptable to watch her marry a consumptive man.
Huang Mengyu's face was very serious, and he didn't look like he was joking at all: "It is indeed tuberculosis. When our family first heard about the reports from the little boys below, our jaws dropped, and we immediately sent someone to confirm again. Dongchang
The fans searched for medical clinics and doctors, and even sent people to sneak into his house to understand the situation. They also sent people to dig through the garbage sent from his house and found the residue of the drug to treat tuberculosis, thus determining that this person must be
He is suffering from tuberculosis! Not only that, judging from the condition of the drug residue, his condition is even very serious!"
Gao Jingshi's scalp was numb, he took a breath, and asked: "This matter...I mean the selection of the consort, who is in charge of it in the palace? Isn't it you or Chen Ju?"
"It's not the two of us..." Huang Mengyu looked a little self-deprecating, but also a little stern: "How could it be our turn in this matter? How could the Empress Dowager Ci Sheng be willing to hand over this matter to me when she knew that the two of us were closely related to the attendant?
The two of us... Chen Zhangyin took care of this matter."
When talking about "Chen Palm Seal", Gao Pingshi clearly felt a little chill in Huang Mengyu's eyes.
Chen Hong was the one who held the seal of Chen. After Feng Bao's downfall, Chen Hong was able to replace Feng Bao as Empress Dowager Li's confidant. Not only did he become the Grand Eunuch of the Clerk of Ceremonies, but his position was also stable.
Overpowering Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju, he became the "top leader" of the inner court.
To this day, even though Zhu Yijun has taken charge, Chen Hong's throne as Chief of Ceremonies is still firmly seated. Of course, this also reflects from the side that Zhu Yijun still does not get rid of the authority of the two palaces and acts independently. No wonder Zhu Yijun, the king of Lu, will be elected next year
Zhu Yijun had to deal with the matter of the country despite the pressure from hundreds of officials.
It seems that it was not actually Zhu Yijun who insisted on spending such a large sum of money for Prince Lu, but that he did not dare to disobey the Queen Mother's wishes - it was known to both the government and the public that Queen Mother Li doted on her young son. When Zhu Yijun was
That time when he was punished by kneeling, Empress Dowager Li even dared to threaten him by deposing the emperor and replacing him with King Lu, which is clear proof.
Of course, the sentence itself was just a threat, and the Empress Dowager might not be able to obtain the approval of the cabinet if she wanted to abolish Li Li. At that time, Guo Pu resisted but it was a thorn in Zhu Yijun's heart, and such a major matter,
Presumably he doesn't dare to make mistakes easily.
Gao Pragmatic estimated that Zhu Yijun's idea was probably to drag him to the Kingdom of King Lu until his position was stable. By that time, the two palaces would naturally lose their authority to interfere in government affairs.
This idea cannot be said to be bad, it can even be said to be the safest way, but the problem is that it is not timely enough. In other words, before the Kingdom of King Lu, he is still afraid of the two palaces. If the two palaces want to do
What, he would probably have no choice but to give in.
Gao pragmatic sighed and thought to himself: The inheritance Zhu Yijun received is really interesting. He is quite smart, not inferior to his imperial grandfather Emperor Jiajing, but his temperament was greatly influenced by his father, Emperor Longqing, and sometimes he seemed not tough enough.
In the original history, Zhu Yijun's performance also proved this point. He knew how to control the civil service group, but he could not be as "completely shameless" as Jiajing, so that he created the "Cold War" where he did not go to court for so many years.
.
Controlling the civil service group is nothing more than letting you say whatever you want, I just go my own way, and at the same time choose a "smart" chief minister to stand in front of the stage and take the blame for myself. From Shen Shixing to Zhao Zhigao, then to Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao and even Fang Congzhe
, actually embody Zhu Yijun’s idea.
I don’t need you as the first assistant to have much ability or to be able to handle the world. I just need you to give me less trouble and stop me from being criticized by the civil service group. Then I can keep you here as the first assistant for a long time.
In terms of position, he is prominent in front of others.
Perhaps, this was caused by the psychological trauma that Zhang Juzheng left for Zhu Yijun in history - Zhang Juzheng was certainly capable, but while he made strict demands on Zhu Yijun, he was also corrupt and enjoying himself, which ultimately subverted Zhu Yijun's three views and made him
I felt that I was being manipulated by a teacher whom I trusted a lot, until I lost my mind. After Zhang Juzheng's death, he insisted on liquidating the matter to the end - according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, ministers who had already been awarded a good posthumous title were generally not liquidated.
Gao pragmatism has three major backers: the emperor, the Pragmatic Party, and the wealthiest person in the world. The most useful thing in daily life is money, followed by official connections, and finally the emperor's favor - because this is not used until critical moments.
But Gao Pragmatic knew in his heart that the emperor's favor was actually the most powerful.
Because the Ming Dynasty's system is here, and with the emperor's favor and trust, even if the world is in turmoil like Yan Song did back then, as long as Jiajing himself does not want to touch Yan Song, the government and the public will have no choice but to prostrate themselves under Yan Song's lustful power.
Speaking of which, Zhu Yijun in history might also have wanted a Yan Song, but it was a pity that the few chief assistants he could use did not dare to be Yan Song.
After all, to a certain extent, Yan Song is just a person who does dirty work for Jiajing, but if you do too much dirty work, if one day the emperor feels that you are no longer useful and wants to restore your reputation, then Yan Song will end up like this
Learn from your own mistakes.
No one is stupid. It would be great to serve the country for ten or twenty years, but if it ends up like Yan Song, then I would be sorry - I am not a person without descendants. Who doesn’t have a family and no descendants?
If he behaves like Yan Song, the whole family's future will be ruined.
"How did Chen Hong do this? Didn't he find out about the tuberculosis?" Gao pragmatically slapped the table and his eyes turned cold: "Or is it that he accepted people's dirty money and even dared to sell the princess?"
Huang Mengyu lowered his eyes and said in a serious tone: "Your Excellency, we don't dare to talk nonsense about this."
"Hmph..." Gao Pingshi had a cold look in his eyes and asked, "Does the Emperor know?"
"We didn't come to tell the attendant the news. How dare we tell the emperor casually? What if... the emperor would be in trouble?" Huang Mengyu said in a low voice.
Gao Pingshi's heart was clear. Huang Mengyu obviously had his own little plan in this matter, and he also planned to use his own strength.
However, this is also human nature.
Although he and Huang Mengyu have been friends for many years, they are not clearly superiors and subordinates after all, and he is not Huang Mengyu's "favor". At most, he helped him in the beginning, and he actually returned a lot of favors.
.
Besides, although Huang Mengyu has his own little calculations, fundamentally speaking, he is still obviously on his side - when he comes to inform him, he obviously gives the decision-making power to himself, and he just wants to follow up.
Behind one's back, if you have an advantage, take advantage. If you don't have an advantage... that's the end of your benevolence.
So Gao Jingshi didn't blame him, but after thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Your worries are not unreasonable, but now that I have learned about this matter, I can't ignore it... Gao Mo!"
Gao Mo pushed the door open and walked in, cupping his hands and saying, "What are your orders, sir?"
"Prepare your horses, I want to enter the city and the palace."
