"Prince, please rest assured. I have secretly contacted more than 40% of the court officials, and less than 40% of the Gao Party members who are loyal to the Chief Supervisor Gao Gong!"

In the deep palace, in front of the desk in Li Wandi's study, Li Fangchun was very excited, and his tone was even more sure of victory. He talked freely: "Although the remaining 20% ​​of the court officials have not made any statements, they must be loyal to the emperor! Therefore, if the chief minister Gao Gong is greedy for power this time, he will definitely keep the emperor in charge of power and will not let the powerful minister Gao Gong succeed!"

Zhu Yanjun was overjoyed when he heard this and laughed and praised: "I really know people with keen eyes! Li Aiqing's methods do indeed live up to my expectations! With such a plan and a plan, I think I can rest assured to hand over the great underworld country to Li Aiqing and the assistant Li Shougong in the future!"

After hearing this, Li Fangchun's old face was radiant and energetic, but she did not forget to say with a reserved attitude: "I am grateful to the emperor for his kindness, and I am so treacherous! I would like to rest assured that I will devote my whole life to this country and country, and I will die until I die! I will not let down the holy grace!"

When Li Fangchun left, he was full of confidence and planned the beautiful scenery of the future in his heart. However, he didn't know that behind him, the little emperor Zhu Yanjun, who he didn't care about, had a sneer on his "pretending to be majestic" face and watched his old back leave.

Until the door was closed, Li Fangchun's figure was gone, he sneered at the old eunuch beside him: "It's all birds of a feather! I really rely on them, my great underworld has long been destroyed! A scholar has not been able to do things for ten years. If he wants to accomplish this, he still has to rely on my backup..."

He glanced at the old eunuch whose eyes suddenly appeared and said indifferently: "Give an order, and the battle will be fought together! It is just right to calculate the time when the news was sent back to the capital!"

"Yes!" The old eunuch smiled flatteringly and said flatteringly: "It's still wise! The family will definitely live up to their entrustion and do the things that the emperor has assigned beautifully! Your Majesty, please be optimistic!"

On the second day, the morning is dim, the clouds are light, and the sun rises in the east, which is a great solar term. However, this long-definite day for Emperor Li Wan and Guan was delayed.

It is said that Japan should not be in the early court today, but Wang Qing, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, raised questions, saying that he was looking up the rules of the ancient dynasty, and dating back to the time when the prefecture dynasty ten thousand years ago, there was also an incident where the emperor became emperor when he was young. However, the ceremony of the prefecture dynasty was not sixteen, but twenty years old.

For the Daming Dynasty, who was polite and honest, his proposal caused an uproar among all parties, and the government and the country were full of discussions and disputes. Because of the dispute, the matter of Guan Renquan, which had already agreed four years ago, was put on hold, saying that he could only wait until the ministers discussed a charter before they could discuss it again.

Although the Daming Dynasty's etiquette and law were always in strict accordance with the ancient system, when this matter was in trouble, people with discerning eyes knew it well. It was obviously a means of Gao Gong, the "Emperor of Xiang", to defend power.

Although Wang Qing, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was also of a high position and power, in this battle between the power of the monarch and the minister, he was just a spark, or even a small puppet that could not help but cross the line, and was not the person playing chess behind him.

In people's opinion, the young emperor was young and sixteen-year-old boy, who was not the opponent of Gao Gong, the mature and cunning "Emperor of the Xiang Dynasty". Therefore, from the beginning of this game, he should have shown a one-sided momentum, and the final outcome was just Gao Gong's natural rule and legitimate control of the government again, but the facts were beyond the expectations of too many people.

The old fox who often works as a peacemaker in daily life, this old fox, who has been a high-ranking insect for more than ten years, has stood on the side of the little emperor.

Of course, at the beginning, it was not the two big men, the assistant and the chief assistant, who were bare-handed, and they were still fighting in their own hands. The court officials of each side, who had low rank, jumped out of the formation to take the call. Compared with Wang Qing, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Zhiyuan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was the first to question it. In terms of their respective identities, the two were also a match.

Zhang Zhiyuan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, found another ancient book and found an extremely powerful rebuttal. He only said that during the dynasty of the state, the man was 20 years old. It was because the emperor, King Wen of Zhou, who was the emperor, would take power after 20 years. However, since the Tang Dynasty, which was 6,300 years ago, the man was changed to 16, and has been continued to this day. Therefore, the emperor of the current dynasty should have taken power immediately with 16,000 yuan.

Both sides are ancient, and they seem to have the words "Li" and "Li". It is so clear that they are very quarrels and disputes. Moreover, this matter is of great importance, so they are not willing to give in any side.

If the high party wins, the powerful power will last for another four years. With these four years of buffering and arrangement, it is expected that even if Emperor Li Wan really lets the ruler, the court will be united at that time, and even the emperor's power will have to obediently submit to the power of the ministers.

If the assistant Li Fangchun wins that time and the young emperor ascends the throne immediately, it will disrupt the arrangements that the Gao Party has not yet achieved perfection in recent years. If the young emperor has a lot of scheming and means to fight for the power of ministers, it will gradually collapse and fall under the power of the emperor again. The only benefit that is the second assistant Li Fangchun, who obviously surrenders to the young emperor, can only be the first minister for a few years.

The high-ranking party members naturally despise and curse Li Fangchun, and often mock him, saying that he is short-sighted, selfish, or even a treacherous villain, and has no intention of the overall situation. He only makes small profits for his own flies. He is actually the number one treacherous minister in the world!

In the court, Gao Gong and Li Fangchun, the two big men who had already had a fierce battle, had a calm expression, as if they were not surprised by their favors and disgraces, or they were not concerned about their own affairs, and they both kept silent and let their subordinates make trouble. However, what they were thinking about was unknown to others.

This dispute lasted for a whole month, and it was not a solution for the two sides to stand up. Finally, the court debate was initiated.

The court decided that the court decided to decide the victory or defeat based on the number of votes. In fact, it was just to let the ministers hold a red bean and a mung bean. The eunuch held up a golden can and flowed between the ministers, so that the ministers could put a bean in it. But don’t underestimate this seemingly hilarious move. Many measures of the Daming Dynasty were decided by this. This is also when meeting each other. If there are many ministers who have won over, they should be able to see the score at this time and determine the outcome.

When the court was discussing, the young emperor Zhu Yanjun was above and looked at his ministers coldly. He couldn't participate in the matter even though he was clearly concerned about him. This feeling can be imagined. Therefore, when he looked at Li Fangchun quietly, he showed his desire and inquiries. When Li Fangchun's eyes were silent, he showed his confidence and confidence, which made Zhu Yanjun "relieve" and showed gratitude.

Li Fangchun was in a state of excitement at this moment, but she had been so excited that she could not sleep all night. She always estimated the number of votes she held, so that she could feel that she would definitely win this time and feel at ease.

He stared at the golden pot and wandered around the ministers, and his ministers secretly wooed each other to cheer him up. He even looked at him with provocation, his eyes full of pride and ostentatiousness.

But when the two eunuchs announced the bean numbers, Li Fangchun's face became paler and paler, and his eyes finally became incredible and unbelievable.

"Slow down! Slow down!"

Li Fangchun was a little panicked and said hurriedly: "I suggest this time is not counted! Some ministers must be careless, just remember to make a mistake! This red bean is twenty-sixth crown, and the mung bean is sixteenth crown! Sir, please remember it! Don't make any mistakes again!"

It turned out that a total of 38 second-rank officials participated in the court discussion, but the results of the announcement were that the red beans had twenty-six, and the mung beans that supported Li Fangchun were only a few twelve, which was very different from Li Fangchun's expectations.

It was because he had already won over 19 second-rank officials and should have been invincible. However, the total number of senior high-ranking officials he found was only 13. Now that he lacked the support of seven ministers under his command, the Gao Party, who seemed to be defeated, had somehow produced thirteen red beans, which was doubled as he expected. This was beyond his expectations, and he caught him off guard and could not believe it.

He could only attribute it to some of the senior officials under his command who were careless by nature. At this critical moment, he could only find this reason to make him feel at ease. However, he did not pay attention to the passing of sarcasm and the sneer on the face of the senior officials, as if he was watching a clown playing tricks.

Zhu Yanjun was also calm, as if to the eyes of the ministers, he seemed to be pretending to be calm, and said with a "ruthless" smile: "Li Aiqing said that it was wrong for the court's discussion, and suggested doing it again. What should Gao Aiqing think about it?"

Gao Gong bowed his hand and leaned over with a little respectful attitude, "Since Lord Li questioned, the old minister has no objection, so let's go to court to discuss it!"

The result of throwing beans again made Li Fangchun’s hands and feet cold and lost. In a daze, he suddenly said, “Ah!” and fell to the ground with a "thump" and became unconscious.

It turned out that there were twelve green beans, but the court agreed not to increase but decrease, with only five left. The red beans that supported Emperor Li Wan's 20 and crowns increased to thirty-three, and it was a great victory. All the people who could become second-rank officials were extremely smart, and there were a few who didn't know the general trend. When the result of the first court talk came out, they knew the victory and the outcome were vaguely known. They naturally changed their minds, secretly turned around and immediately joined Gao Gong's command.

After the court meeting ended, Emperor Li Wan took Longluan back to the book pavilion, and his expression was not too disappointed. He seemed to have expected this ending, so he closed his eyes all the way. He was about to arrive in front of the book pavilion, and then shook his head and mouth, exclaimed: "This Gao Gong is indeed a better skill. Li Fangchun, who is ineffective, is indeed not his opponent!"

"But Gao Gong is also vicious enough. He had previously released a message saying that I had to wait for the wedding and get married and have a queen to take charge of the rule! Calculate the time, I only need to wait until I find a suitable candidate. If my hands and feet are faster, I can only delay for one or two years. It seems that this news is just a trick to confuse me! Now in this situation, I will seize power for another four years! Four years... It turns out that good means! What a scheming! So greedy!"

"Fortunately, I have never put all my confidence on Li Fangchun, otherwise I would have really hit his plan! How could Li Fangchun, this trash, be his opponent? This time, he showed his minions and ambitions. I am afraid that he will fall into the wild within a few days and be uprooted by Gao Gong?"

Zhu Yanjun sneered twice, turned his head and said to the old eunuch: "Eunuch Li, what you ordered you to do is done?"

"Back to the emperor!"

The old eunuch winked and laughed in a low voice: "Things are done smoothly. Calculate the time, and the news will reach the capital tonight. Your Majesty, please wait and see the show!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yanjun praised, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, and said shuffled: "He Gao Gong is cruel enough, don't blame me for being ruthless! I think Lord Gao and his minions should be celebrating this great victory. I wonder if this gift is enough to surprise him?"
