The sound of the high arch like wind and thunder made the hall buzzing, and also made the officials speechless for a long time.

His "eight evils" were summarized so well. He mercilessly revealed the glamorous and glamorous skins of Confucius and Mencius in the current officialdom. What he revealed was the truth that he was full of abscesses and was ugly. In fact, which officials present did not know? Which one did not know? It just met Hai Rui's words - everyone knows it, but everyone doesn't say it.

Not only did he not speak, but because he exposes too ruthlessly and shows no mercy, he is very disgusted with Gao Gong, thinking that he is pretending to be amazing, but in fact he is just criticizing the monks and criticizing Lord Yuan Fu in front of the new king.

"Is it interesting to say this?" The Censor He Yishang immediately said, "The eight problems you mentioned are true, but first of all, how can you change it? Secondly, since it is accumulating habits, how can you change it just by saying it? Is it difficult to change it in the world? I think what Mr. Gong is best at is just empty talk." Because he participated in the "New Year's Day kneeling door" and squatted in the imperial prison... Although he did not eat the court stick and had a little regret, he still felt that his capital was extremely high; and because they were able to be released from prison and resumed, it was all due to Xu Jie's contribution, so Censor He was very grateful to the kindness of Lord Fu, and immediately raised his head with Gao Gong, and his tone was quite quarrel.

Gao Gong didn't take him seriously and sneered: "What do you know, you hammer, dare to speak like this to me."

"You..." Why is it so frustrating? But according to the rules, he, like the censor, cannot refute the assistant minister in person. If he has any opinions, he must submit it to the Transportation Administration for the State Administration of Transportation in the form of a memorial. In the Yan Song era, this article was strictly implemented, and then the Tongzheng Administration was controlled by Zhao Wenhua, which caused the Tianting to be blocked. After Xu Jie came to power, he learned from Yan Song's lessons of disaster to the country and paid great attention to protecting the way of speech. The censors also gave some sunshine and became brighter and stronger.

Especially after the baptism of the "kneeling incident", their momentum became more strong. Three days before the new king's first court, Hu Yingjia and others, then said: "There was a test for the predecessor's predecessor to attend the court to discuss matters, and the censors must be allowed to enter. The system of the state dynasty ordered the six subjects to take turns to record imperial edicts on the left and right of the palace court, which was also the legacy of the previous dynasty. After that, the court meeting would be ordered to follow the subject. Anyone who reported unfaithful things would listen to their faces and complain about the right of the matter, or retreated to discuss the subject." Xu Jie always attached great importance to the censors, so he decided to say, "Please follow the court. Anyone who is below the second rank can be investigated against the right of the wrong of the second rank, and the above will be retreated to discuss the subjects." In other words, at the court meeting, the censors could impeach third and fourth rank officials who were inappropriate in the court, and if the Grand Secretary and the Nine Ministers made mistakes, they could only go back to write the book and follow the procedure to impeach.

Now Gao Gong blocked them with this, and the censors were really stopped, but Xu Jie spoke over there and said, "Censors, what else can they call me if they can't speak? Since the late emperor allowed Kedao to go to court, they were allowed to speak in the court. Gaoge, we should encourage them to speak freely instead of not letting them speak, do you think?"

Gao Gong snorted and said, "How can the ignorant juniors understand the major affairs of the country?"

"Haha..." Xu Jie said with a slight smile on his face: "But I also thought about this. The eight disadvantages that Gaoge said do exist, but it seems that they are not as serious as you said, right?"

"Just as the official said at the moment, these eight disadvantages are 'there are no traces of the traces, and the changes are endless', which caused the Ming Dynasty to get sick. But I can't understand the consequences when I searched for it casually, and I couldn't understand the consequences. This does not mean that the disadvantages are light, but it is even more worrying." Gao Gong replied calmly: "Because a person is sick, if the disease is tangible, it can be followed by prescriptions; but if it is a terminal disease and it is difficult to talk to others, then the daily life will be normal. If there is no trouble, it will accumulate for a long time and the disease is very deep. Lu Bian was anxious and dared not speak about the doctor, but ordinary people still think it is safe."

This was very elegant, but he still did not shy away from asking the questioner into the line of "Automatic, Ordinary People", which made Xu Jie's wrinkles that had just stretched out tight again. Lei Li sneered: "So, Gaoge Lao is better than Bian Que, can he live dead people, medicine white bones?"

"Doctors have a prescription to cleanse the stomach," Gao Gong said confidently: "Which those who are good at treating evil and criticizing evil are skilled in Gao, but he knows that although the 'eight evils' are serious, there is still something to do about major events. The key is whether the person in charge can make up his mind to do it." It can be seen that Gao Ge is also well aware of the art of speech, always grasping the topic, and no one can escape.

"Then you tell me?" Lei Li said a little annoyed when he saw that he didn't take him back.

"Actually there is nothing mysterious," Gao Gong said loudly: "There is no mercy in the dance of writing, so one law is obeyed and greedy, so it is cleansing and vulgarity." He paused, and his voice became louder: "If you respect loyalty and kindness, the mean will be eliminated; if you reward public and upright, the jealousy will be eliminated; if you use the courses, the shirk will be eliminated; if you use the party to eliminate the party, the common people will be eliminated; if you review the merits and crimes, the misfortune will be eliminated; if you review the facts, the words will be ignored." He said as he bowed deeply to Emperor Longqing, and his voice was like a muffled thunder: "Your Majesty, I have already suggested in the memorial: 'If you can implement these eight methods, if you can stand up and get rid of old habits, you must reward and advance and still practice, you must punish and retreat to make people turn their minds and do not dare to have any traitors, and the eight evils can be eliminated."

"This is the way to cure the eight evils." Gao Gong turned to Xu Jie and the officials, and his innocent feelings were beyond words: "As long as we can follow this path, remove the big worms on the patient of the Ming Dynasty, and then slowly recuperate, we will gradually cure the eight evils. Then, we can take everything ourselves and restore the Ming Dynasty to its strength."

His self-confidence was overflowing in the Huangji Palace, deeply infecting many people. They are old ministers who have been through the officialdom for a long time. They would not be easily moved by others' bold words. However, Gao Gong's long-term discussions have a solid and powerful analysis of the situation. They point out the serious and chronic diseases and propose correction methods in a very targeted manner, which makes many people admire this seemingly rough and generous tall bearded man - this person seems to be of great talent to save the times.

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

Shen Mo is one of them. He originally wanted to make this person secretly, but he just came from power. But now, he must re-know this person, because if Gao Gong can truly integrate knowledge and action, even if only half of his bold words become reality, it will be enough to form a good complement to himself ().

Shen Mo has a clear understanding of himself. His strength lies in his power schemes, his way of dealing with people, and his clear and profound understanding of the contradictions in reality. This is the advantage he brought to serve as an official in two lifetimes. But he also has a common problem with old bureaucrats - just like Xu Jie, he only wants to be kind and does not want to make grudges with others.

In this life, he has been in office for more than ten years. The most serious thing is not about opening up the maritime ban or encouraging industry and commerce, but seizing every opportunity to make friends. To give the most obvious example, when he was seventeen years old, he was ordered to inspect the coastal defense and had a lot of friends. Among these people were rough people like Tang Kekuan, corrupt officials like Zhao Wenhua, Confucian generals like Tan Lun, and high-ranking officials like Zhang Jing. What's even more incredible is that there are some of them who look down on each other and even enemies of each other, but without exception, they all regard him as friends. When they mention the clumsy words, they can't say the word "no".

In fact, his secret is very simple, it is just "a face full of spring breeze, and harmony makes money", "save others by oneself and give their preferences", "I would rather suffer losses than make grudges", "I forgive others when I have more friends", "I can do things better" and some essential philosophy of life in the officialdom, but there are not many that can really be practiced.

Because people always have to go through a process of being full of energy, rather than being bent, to mature and worldly, and to be in a state of mind, they often think that they are outstanding when they are young, but they bow their heads in front of reality when they are old, but they have wasted their great time and have no capital to succeed.

But silence is not the case. He is a person of the second life and walks his life again. Although he has been separated by five hundred years in two lives, he is both a career, so naturally he is not different. It is precisely because he has understood the way of dealing with people and always implemented it that he can improve in the officialdom and be proud of his youth...

If he is only satisfied with being a successful bureaucrat, then he is really perfect, but he is not an official for the sake of being an official. He was tired of the intrigue and deceitful officialdom in his previous life. Life is short, dullness is real. If it weren't for that damn sense of mission, he would choose to study and do business, wander around the mountains and forests, do nothing, but live his life happily.

But he knew that at this great turning point in history, which nation could take the right path, it would leap into heaven until five hundred years later, and still enjoy this glory; if anyone falls in this competition, he will gradually fall into hell until five hundred years later, and still pay the price for it - so he had to place himself as a sacrifice on the altar of history. From then on, he could only put his own things in his heart, and climb, climb in this dirty and hypocritical officialdom for the unattainable goal...

The process of reaching the top is not taught by people, and the instinct of a bureaucrat is enough to deal with it.

The question is what to do after reaching the top? Should we continue to implement the original standards of life? But if that is the case, it is probably the second place for Mr. Xu to reach the limit... Although Chen Si has a lot of opinions about this teacher, he deeply thought that Weng was the best official in the entire Ming Dynasty and even the most important official in the past thousand years, and there were so many things worth learning from.

But the silence is also clear. Even if Xu Jie is the leader in political struggles, it does not mean that he is the suitable leader of this great power. Although he has reached a high position below one person, in the official system of **, those who climb to a high position and control state authority are not necessarily the best politicians. It is even very likely that he is just a master of power or even a mediocre bureaucrat.

Being able to sit in this position is two different things and being competent - how to coordinate the country's economy, people's livelihood, and military? Where does the system's intact originate? How to remove the ** to boost the weak and weak? The best politicians must be aware of all this, have the best steps to plan and achieve it in a reasonable way.

Administrative bureaucrats only know how to strengthen favors, how to snatch trustees, how to form cliques, how to fight openly and secretly, are naturally good players, but unfortunately, this is also their full ability. If a great country is led by such administrative bureaucrats, the result is certainly stable, but like the Ming Dynasty, a large ship like the Ming Dynasty, which is poor and weak, with internal and external troubles, and is rife in the long river of history covered with reefs and forks, means it will gradually sink, which means it may hit the reef, and may more likely to enter the forks of history.

This is exactly the anxiety of silence, because he has not yet left the scope of administrative bureaucracy and does not know how to complete this crucial transformation. Now seeing Gao Gong, he suddenly feels hope. Observe this person carefully and learn from him humbly, and there will definitely be results.

For the first time, Chen Si put away his prejudice against Gao Gong's lack of fighting skills and began to respect this bearded man...

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

The morning court was particularly long. At noon, the ministers were still excited one after another, but Emperor Longqing could no longer hold on. He was already hungry and his back was sore. At some point, his upper body was leaning against the back of the chair, as if he was slumped on the imperial couch. The emperor looked at the following ones with his eyes. He was old enough to be his father, but still energetic and quarreling, and said in his heart: "No wonder my father has not been to court for decades, it turns out that it is such a torment..."

When Mr. Xu saw that Emperor Yuan Mo was speechless and seemed very tired, he said, "Your Majesty is tired, so let's go here first. I haven't had time to write a notebook. I will collect it and send it to the emperor later."

The ministers were still unsatisfied, but when they saw that the emperor could not hold on, they handed over the report in their hands, and then, under the command of the officials of the Honglu Temple, they respectfully sent the emperor to retreat to the court.

The squad walked out of the Huangji Palace, and the eunuch Meng, who was secretly living, rushed over and walked to Gao Gong first and said, "Gaoge stays at your fingertips, the emperor is welcome." Then he walked to the silent face and said, "Master Chen, you are welcome too." The two of them responded quickly and left the team. In the eyes of the officials' envious and jealousy, they came to the Western Nuan Pavilion next to the Ganqing Palace.

When I arrived at the door of the warmer, I stood silently because it was prohibited. According to the rules, foreign ministers are not allowed to enter without permission. At least I have to wait until Meng Chongtong reported it before talking...

Gao Gong was about to step in, but when he saw him stop, he had to stop. Meng Chong invited them in, but he smiled silently and said, "Don't bother, please report it."

"Then, okay..." Although Meng Chong responded, he felt that he had done this in his heart.

When the eunuch walked away, Gao Gong suddenly whispered: "Jiangnan is really cautious."

Silent chuckled and said in a slight voice: "Where is this? How many eyes are staring at? Does the old master want to provide shells for his opponent?"

The sentence of silence is obviously not just about the matter, but also a warning. Gao Gong is such a smart person. He felt nervous when he heard this, and he felt ashamed: "Thank you, Jiangnan, I really can't help but think that last month the late emperor was seriously ill, and he went to Xiyuan every day to do something about Teng's concubine, and took the personal belongings in the room home, which attracted Hu Yingjia's deathly attack. Gao Gong used to think that Xu Jie didn't like him, so he just ordered people to frame him deeply, but now it seems that he was obviously showing his flaws first. Flies do not bite eggs without cracks. If he is blameless, Hu Yingjia has nowhere to talk even if he wants to frame him.

Although it is just a simple conversation or two, the relationship between the two is much closer invisibly.

After a while, Meng Chong came out to invite him in again. Then the two followed him into the East Nuan Pavilion. As soon as they entered, they saw a large blackboard mud gold plaque hanging high on the wall facing him, with four thin and elegant words "Small clothes and food" written on it, which were obviously written by the late emperor.

There are long rows of large bookshelfs under the plaque, with books on them all in a large number of volumes. No one has ever flipped them in thirty years. It was a good day a few days ago, and I had just cleaned and sunlighted carefully, waiting for the new owner to come and read.

There were several huge cases in front of the bookshelf, but Emperor Longqing did not sit behind the case, but lay on a golden-wire rocking chair with bright yellow cushion. Seeing the two of them coming in, the emperor smiled tiredly, "The two gentlemen are here. I am exhausted and I really have no strength to get up."

The two of them said 'till fear', and the emperor pointed at the two cases and said, "This morning court is really a slaughtering bone marrow. Both gentlemen are hungry, let's talk while eating."

The two of them thanked again, and then walked to the two pieces, and sat down with a bright and bright look.

After sitting down, Gao Gong comforted the emperor and said, "The ministers have been holding on for decades, and they are inevitably a little excited. It is not the norm. Don't worry ()."

Long Qing looked at his Master Gao with some amusement, and thought to himself that you always talked the most. Of course, he would not embarrass the teacher, so he nodded with a smile and said, "I understand..."

Two palace maids helped Long Qing sit up, and two others put cushions behind him, making the emperor sit comfortably. Then the four eunuchs held a long case and placed them firmly in front of the emperor. The palace maids who served the food delivered various exquisite imperial dishes like butterflies.

The same meal was placed in front of Shen Mo and Gao Gong. After a while, the two were filled with long and long dishes. Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, the two of them were a little dizzy. It’s not that they had never seen the world... Needless to say, Shen Mo, Gao Gong is also the son of the Shixian. Even if he works, no matter how big the show is, he will not make a fuss.

What made the two of them unacceptable was that when Longqing was in Yu's residence, even though the reserve position was stable and there was no shortage of expenses, he always insisted on four dishes and one soup for each meal. Even during the holidays, he only added a few meat dishes. He was never willing to waste it, so he always gave the outside world the impression that King Yu liked to be frugal.
