Gao Pingshi also smiled, bowed and said: "His Royal Highness is so inspiring, I should work hard to make progress. If I can't be on the gold list in the future, will I be worthy of the kindness I have shown to the emperor, the prince and the noble concubine?"
"Okay!" Zhu Yijun was overjoyed and stood up and said: "When you become a Jinshi in the future, I will definitely ask my father to use you more."
Long Qing saw his son's excitement over there and smiled happily. He felt that all the effort he had put in was not in vain. He also felt that he and Mr. Gao had a chance encounter. If his son and Gao Pragmatic could do the same in the future, , that is really a rare story about a monarch and his ministers that is rare in a thousand years.
Thinking of this, I felt a little excited in my heart, and immediately said loudly: "Okay, Gao Aiqing, you must remember what the prince said. I won't treat it as a joke. As long as you are on the gold list in the future, I will be of great use to you!"
Gao Pragmatic, a person who is accustomed to hitting snakes and following the stick, naturally would not miss this opportunity. He immediately knelt down to express his gratitude: "I thank your Majesty for your grace and your Highness for your appreciation."
At this time, Meng Chong hurried in and shouted from a distance: "Long live Grandpa, news from the cabinet has arrived!"
Long Qing was startled and asked subconsciously: "What news?"
Meng Chong hurriedly saluted and replied: "As for your Majesty's new appointment of the crown prince's companion, and the appointment of Gao Pangshi as the crown prince's companion and fake bachelor's degree, the cabinet has just discussed it urgently. Several The elders each have their own opinions..."
"Who agrees and who opposes in the end?" Long Qing immediately urged: "Don't talk nonsense, tell me the result quickly!"
Meng Chong must have jogged all the way back. He wiped his sweat, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Zhang Ge and Mr. Chen Ge agreed, while Mr. Gao Ge and Mr. Zhao Ge objected."
"Huh..." Long Qing let out a long breath and said: "Mr. Gao's objection is just necessary, and the other three elders agree."
Gao pragmatic keenly discovered that Long Qing directly ignored Zhao Zhenji in this sentence.
why is that? Did he expect that Zhao Zhenji would object?
But why does he think so? Because he felt that Zhao Zhenji would definitely oppose anything that was beneficial to Gao Gong?
If this is the case, does it mean that Long Qing's impression of Zhao Zhenji is no longer very good at this moment?
The highly pragmatic idea is generally not a big problem, but there is actually a more direct reason why Long Qing made such a judgment.
In Long Qing's view, this matter is clearly beneficial to Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng has always been Gao Gong's ally in his mind, so Zhang Juzheng will definitely agree; Chen Yiqin is a neutral, but has an upright character, and his son Chen Yu Bi was just one of the lecturers who participated in the selection of articles by the children of each family. Chen Yiqin cannot be ignorant of his son's level. This also proves that Gao Pragmatic Knowledge should indeed be the best among these children, so he does this It is natural for the prince to accompany him to study, and Chen Yiqin will naturally agree; Li Chunfang's attitude is actually what Long Qing is most concerned about, because he is both the first assistant and the number one scholar, and he has a strong say in such matters. If he clearly expresses his disagreement, This matter is more difficult to handle, but Long Qing feels that given Li Chunfang's character, the possibility of him speaking out against it is indeed unlikely.
The final result of the cabinet did not go beyond Long Qing's expectation, with three votes to two, especially since one of the three votes came from the chief minister.
So the decree was passed and the cabinet refused to refute it.
Long Qing was indeed relieved. You should know that if the cabinet really returned this decree, he really wouldn't dare to force it.
Of course he has the ability to impose force, but then he must remove the cabinet ministers who hold objections. The impact will be too great - in order to appoint a low-ranking official, he actually removed the ministers. The news is only If word gets out, the outer court will immediately explode!
What's the matter? Could it be that this Gao Pragmatic is not Gao Gong's nephew, but the illegitimate son of your Majesty the Emperor? In the mind of your Majesty the Emperor, is your status actually more important than that of your cabinet ministers? I'm afraid you don't care about this world, right?
Therefore, when Long Qing heard Meng Chong's words clearly, he really felt that a big stone fell in his heart.
As for Zhao Zhenji... In fact, Longqing originally hired Zhao Zhenji for the purpose of dividing the forces of Xu Jie's remaining party. Now Xu Jie's remaining party has indeed been divided and absorbed. Even Xu Jie himself was beaten up by Hai Rui, and he actually wanted to rely on him. Zhang Juzheng persuaded Gao Gong to overcome the difficulties, so Zhao Zhenji's role is not big now.
But having said that, Zhao Zhenji had only been in the cabinet for less than half a year, and he had brought him into the cabinet by himself. If he had some problems with Gao Gong now, it would be inappropriate to drive him away, so Long Qing Plan to take a look again.
As for the conflict between Zhao Zhenji and Gao Gong, Long Qing actually knew more than Gao Pragmatic.
In the second half of last year, Anda Khan invaded Shanxi, and the Datong general Zhao Ke failed to rescue him. However, Chen Qixue, the governor of Xuanda University at the time, because Zhao Ke's actions were actually based on his orders, so he was victorious and regarded Anda's voluntary retreat as being punished. He was driven away, but was impeached by Yan Ruhuan, the censor.
Zhao Zhenji's temper was not as slippery and cunning as portrayed in a famous historical drama. In fact, his personality had always been very upright, even a little arrogant. After hearing the news, he wanted to severely punish Chen Qixue, Zhao Ke and others.
However, Huo Ji, Minister of War, believed that there should be no heavy punishment. He believed that Chen Qixue and Zhao Ke had no big problem in this matter, because the reason why Chen, Zhao and others did not rescue them in time was indeed because they were worried that the imperial mausoleum would be invaded, so they only discussed Demotion.
Zhao Zhenji was furious because of this, and Shangshu said: "The frontier commander has lost his discipline, and the ancestral dharma tools are still there. The person in charge is bending the law and favoring others. What is the public opinion? I am old and have no skills in loyalty. I just beg for gifts."
He begged to return home as soon as he took office. Of course, the emperor would not allow it, and instead appointed the crown prince as his security guard.
Recently, Zhao Zhenji organized the Imperial Guards of the previous dynasty into three battalions, each with its own commander. Now, one person is in charge of the three battalions, making it difficult to control the weight. Therefore, in order to express its disadvantages, please divide it into five camps, each led by a general, to restore the old style of the ancestors. The emperor felt that it seemed to make sense, so he ordered the Ministry of War to discuss it with the court officials.
Unexpectedly, Huo Ji, the Minister of War, was at odds with Zhao Zhenji's views because of the last incident. He quite disagreed with it and said that strengthening the army first lies in selecting generals, not in reform, and gave examples of Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang and others. So Huo Ji and others went to the throne and said that the three camps should remain as before. However, the power of one person as the governor is too heavy. It is better to have a general in each of the three battalions, remove the governor, and use a civil servant as the prime minister. The emperor thought it made sense, so he followed this for the time being.
In this way, things become very clear: Huo Ji and Chen Qixue's political stance is in favor of Gao Gong, and Zhao Ke is Gao Gong's "little lackey Zhao". You, Zhao Zhenji, will take advantage of Gao Gong as soon as you come to power. You have a knife, but why did I, Mr. Huo, offend you? The first time you slashed at my soldier's head? Am I that easy to bully?
As a result, Gao Gong didn't have any clear reaction, and Huo Ji started to confront Zhao Zhenji.
