. After giving the house deed to Chen Si, Gao Gong waved his hand to let Gao Fu go out, and then asked Chen Si to enter the study and handed over government affairs with him one by one. Gao Gong said in detail each one, not only explaining the cause, but also telling Chen Si about his handling ideas. Fearing that he had any objections, the old man also explained specifically: "I know you have your own ideas, (Baidu Official Residence First-Class). But these matters that have already started should be settled and follow the original path. Changing the course will not only cause chaos, but also cause unnecessary waste."

"Yes..." Nodded silently, "You don't have to worry. You will always be my teacher in governing the country. The policies you promote will not change, your ideas will not be discounted, and you will need more guidance in the future."

"It's wrong to say this," Gao Gong thought he was comforting himself, and smiled indifferently, "If I were all right, how could I end up like this?" Before he could speak silently, he smiled first, "Actually, you don't need to say that, I know where I was defeated. I am too rude and too slanderous."

"Hehe..." Chen Si shook his head and smiled: "You always stick to principles and would rather break than bend."

"Look, the same words come from my own words, which is so ugly. As soon as you say it, it will be much more satisfying." Gao Gong laughed: "These days, I calmed down to review myself. I found that I was indeed defeated. I kept saying that I should keep pace with the times and communicate with the power and change. But after the death of the late emperor, (Baidu official first-rank official) I actually had no backer, but I didn't consider making changes. I always thought that evil could not defeat justice. As long as justice and truth were in hand, I would definitely win: As a result, I went all the way and fell into the big pit dug by others under my eyelids!"

"The problem is that you know which path someone else has dug a trap," Chen Si sighed, "But I just think that this path is the right path. I have to follow the right path and jump in. At worst, I just die! It's so regretful to be hit by the villain's plan."

"Yes, didn't you say it? Character determines destiny." Gao Gong stroked his gray beard with a slouching look and said, "My temper is not a political cause. When the late emperor was there, I relied on his protection to rush around and fight invincible. I really thought I was invincible in the world." He said, "I always thought that it was me who protected the late emperor, and I realized that it was the opposite."

"Yuan Weng, you are good at planning a country, and you are not good at planning a body," said silently and emotionally: "But now, you no longer need to be able to build a body, so why not stay and continue to take charge of the Ming Dynasty! With my escort, you don't have to worry about those ghosts and monsters..."

"Haha..." Gao Gong smiled with relief and said, "I believe you are the truth. But I have no face left anymore..."

"You don't have to consider those rumors..." said silent.

"Zheng said, "I'm 60 years old. I'm 60 years old this year, so I don't care about nonsense." Gao Gong smiled proudly and said bitterly: "Of course you can also be in the cabinet with a thick face. But that is not good for you. There are many fools in this world, but those who can make a fortune are not fools. Everyone knows that although the imperial edict was classified as a forgery, the meaning of the prefecture was to stop the prefecture was the meaning of the two palaces. Otherwise, why did the two empress dowagers not give a decree to comfort me until now?"

"Yes." Silently nodded and said bitterly: "Mrs. Li wants to find the place, so he naturally refuses to issue an imperial decree."

"So, it's different from the second year of Longqing. At that time, I could shelter you from the wind and rain, but now I can only bring you wind and rain." Gao Gong sighed and said, "If you want to do some unprecedented feats, you will have to come to the front stage to express your thoughts. If your reputation is not upright, your words will not go well, and if your words are not upright, things will not be successful. This is the ultimate truth."

"Yeah." Silently nodded, and smiled heartily: "Yes, I always thought that I should not get into the position of the chief minister, because it is like climbing up. Once I reach the top, there is no way to go up, and I can only go downhill."

"And once you sit in this seat, you will become the target of public criticism." Gao Gong smiled and said, "How many people are always staring at you, waiting for you to make mistakes, and spread rumors to you if you don't make mistakes. You will find enemies everywhere, and you can't kill them. It's understandable to become a lunatic like me..." The two laughed for a while, and he said seriously: "But you still have to be on the ground, and you must be good. How many people in the Ming Dynasty can have the opportunity to have this thousand miles of country and make a blank paper and let your pen run away? If you can do one or two things, you will never live in vain in your life."

"Especially your term is a big scene that has not been seen in a thousand years." Gao Gong said in admiration: "I just can't stand this temptation, so I hurriedly released "Chen Wushi Shu" first, and then wanted to win Feng Bao. It was to unify the power of the affairs and not be restricted." He said, glaring at him and silently: "I didn't expect you to be a naughty child for nothing!"

"I'll take it as my best." Talking to Gao Gong is like drinking strong wine. How could he feel so happy? He smiled silently and said, "I wonder what Mr. Xuan taught me?"

"It depends on what you want to do..." Gao Gong said suddenly and stared at the silence.

Under Gao Gong's sharp scrutiny, he asked slowly: "What is the purpose that Xuan Gong wants to achieve when he was published in "Chen Wushi Memorial"?"

"I said to take the power of affairs back to the cabinet and let the eunuchs go cool."

"You actually received the right to approve the bonus from the Silijian," said silently, "The power of a country to make decisions is nothing more than to vote for the bid. You let the cabinet take over it. Even the prime minister of the previous dynasty does not have such great power." He said with a faint smile and said, "Where is the emperor?"

"The emperor will naturally concentrate on his studies," Gao Gong said: "Preparing to become a wise wise king."

"The emperor will always grow up one day," said silently: "When the time comes, will you hand over the power back?"

"That's it..." Gao Gong felt a little embarrassed. After all, some words could only be explained.

But after all, he was the silence that he forced to force first, so he no longer concealed: "Of course not. The so-called saint emperor ruled with his pride, but in fact, all officials performed their duties and were responsible to the cabinet, and then the cabinet was responsible to the emperor. In this way, the emperor could maintain his always wise and correct image."

Under Shen Mo's bright eyes, he had to surrender and tell the truth: "Okay, in fact, two hundred years after the founding of the country, the administrative system of the court, that is, the civil servant system, has matured. Even if no emperor cares about political affairs, it can maintain the operation of the country well. Therefore, what the Ming Dynasty needs now is not a wise monarch like the Second Patriarch, who is arbitrary, and that will inevitably lead to chaos because of the monarch and his ministers' struggle for power. What the Ming Dynasty needs now is Xiaozong, the ruler like the late emperor, who only needs to be destined to be the destiny of heaven. Representatives, just make a final ruling on military and national affairs that ministers cannot decide (Baidu official first-rank bar) without having to work hard on daily trivial matters. Hongzhi Zhongxing and Longqing New Deals have proved that this distribution of power is perfect, but unwritten things are fragile after all. Anyone who has a dictatorial emperor like Shizong will break this balance and make the country mess. So what I want to do is to distribute this power to the culture, and then even the emperor cannot return it in time."

"I think so too." Silent smiled.

"Just be foolish with me!" Gao Gong laughed and cursed, "So what are you going to do next?"

"Set rules," said silent with a frank look: "Just you said, set all kinds of rules, and then force them to be implemented for ten years, and see who can still go back!"

"This is not that simple," Gao Gong said seriously: "Don't learn from Wang Anshi. Be respectful of the ancestors' methods. If you study them carefully, you will find that ancestors are actually quite cute."

"I feel the same way, too." Silent nodded with a smile.

"Jiangnan..." Gao Gong sighed deeply: "I was prepared to cut into pieces and make a name for the ages, and decided to take this road. Now, I escaped halfway, but the burden was pressed on your shoulders." He expressed deep concern and said: "No one has walked on this road. There was a darkness in front and there was a cliff on both sides. If you were not careful, you would be a place where you would die without a burial."

"Why did Mr. Xuan teach me?" He looked at him silently and said.

"When it comes to seeking profit and avoiding harm, I am not as good as you." Gao Gong said word by word: "But I believe that when you walk on this road, you will not be able to have any selfishness. Only by standing up to be blameless can you stand firm and go far. At the very least, like Wang Jingchuan Gong, even if you lose, you will not be defeated."

"Yes." Silence emphasizes the key point, indicating that you can remember it in your heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gao Gong was always quick and easy to act. After the delivery was completed, he did not linger like other retired officials, but set off the next day without stopping... The return date set by the court for him was two days later. This was to avoid sending him to all officials.

In his opinion, it is not a glorious thing to step down in this cowardly manner. What did the officials look like? So he and his wife, sitting in a ox cart, wearing a cloth clothes, and wearing a hat, without any worries, and leaving the country. The autumn wind and the yellow dust of thousands of miles. Who knows you? When the officials bid farewell, they found that Gao had already left the ground in the capital. They could only feel disappointed in the sky. They seemed to hear a heroic voice of Yan Zhao, singing loudly: "Weiwu Jingwen shines the sun and the moon, cross the Qiandi for nine years. The resolutely and the reign of the great responsibility, and the capital court will enter Huanyaozhang again. The five winds and ten rains are swept away, and the seaguards still say that the Silk Road is long. If you get the great energy to spread the clouds, you will borrow the blue sky for another five hundred years!'

Gao Gong left, and Silence automatically replaced him as the chief minister. The top scholar of Jiajing for 35 years took only seventeen years to ascend to the throne of the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty and become the actual ruler of the empire. This year, he was only 36 years old...

In addition to the wise and powerful official career of the Ge, Chen Ge, and a very important reason, is that he is in an era of extremely fierce struggle. Since the early years of Jiajing, the cabinet has become a stage. Those who serve as the chief assistant only include Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, Mao Ji, Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Cong, Zhai Luan, Fang Xianfu, Li Shi, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, Gao Gong and other 24 people. If Yan Song deducted his fifteen years as the country, the average term of office for each chief assistant would be only one and a half years. (Baidu Official Representatives First-Class) The change of cabinet members under the rank of the first rank of Baidu) is even more intense. How many talents in the world have not fulfilled their ambitions, and how many geniuses have all been spent in intrigue?

It must be admitted that it is precisely because of the dazzling change of personnel that silence can take the position of prime minister at such an age, which is his luck alone. But at the same time, such frequent alternations of governance have made the country's policies uncontinued, and the orders have become commonplace every day, and the inconsistencies have greatly reduced the authority of the prime minister... Officials have no idea how long you will be the prime minister and step down. Naturally, they are justified and perfunctory, just waiting to see your jokes.

Gao Gong reversed most of this phenomenon because he let all officials know that as long as Emperor Longqing is in one day, he would be invincible. He also served as the Minister of Personnel. If anyone is not obedient, he can only leave the bed and get out of bed. Therefore, the trend will change in just a few years. However, the late emperor died suddenly, and Gao Ge Lao also fell, which made the officials see the opportunity to cheat and cheat again. The trend that was finally reversed was about to take a sharp turn.

Therefore, the most important thing for silence is to immediately calm down the impetuous people and let them recognize the situation. Although the prime minister has been replaced, he can't think of going back to the past. This point was done with almost no effort. Because everyone's eyes were bright - as the prime minister, he had unprecedented power in his hands, even the prime minister in the Han and Tang dynasties could not compare with it.

Gao Gong left, and Zhang Juzheng also began to get sick for a long time, and there was no longer any complaints in the cabinet. He voted to deal with the big and small matters of the court. After the approval, he sent it to the Silijian to copy and stamp it... After Feng Bao's affairs, the Silijian's right to criticize the dividend and the right to stay in the middle have been completely deprived of; and the emperor is still young and can basically be ignored. The "Female Commandment" written by Empress Dowager Li himself has been published nationwide, so he is naturally embarrassed to interfere in politics. So what he wants to do is all up to him.

At this time, as long as the ministers get some benefits, don’t let them think that you want to be dictatorial, basically no one dares to make trouble. So the Chief Aunt formally informed the various yamen by the court, saying that my teacher’s “three returns” is really good, and it will be my ruling strategy in the future.

The so-called three return - to return the master with his power and blessings, to return the government affairs to the various departments, and to return the public to the public with punishment and rewards!

This is clearly a matter of asking everyone to make a fortune together, and all officials are very happy. But many people are also worried whether he would abandon Gao Gong's style and return to the era of Xu Ge Lao. This worry didn't last long and disappeared because the focus of the work of the sunken cabinet was on implementing the government orders that were not implemented during the Gao Gong period.
