"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. Our family was shocked when we first heard about the reports from the kids below, and 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 his 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 matter of selecting 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 we were closely related to her attendants? 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's palm print was Chen Hong. 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 chief eunuch of the ceremonial censor's palm, 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 has not got rid of the authority of the two palaces and acts independently. It is no wonder that Zhu Yijun, the king of Lu, wants to go to the country next year. Zhu Yijun has to do something big despite the pressure of hundreds of officials.
It seems that it was not actually Zhu Yijun who had to spend such a large sum of money on Prince Lu, but that he did not dare to disobey the Queen Mother's wishes - the fact that Queen Mother Li doted on her young son was known to both the government and the public. 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. This is clear evidence.
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 refused to go back - but after all, it was a thorn in Zhu Yijun's heart, and such a major event, 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 method, but the problem lies in the lack of timeliness. In other words, before the Kingdom of King Lu, he was still afraid of the two palaces. If the two palaces wanted to do What, he would probably have no choice but to give in.
Gao pragmatic sighed and thought to himself: Zhu Yijun's inheritance is really interesting. He is quite smart, not inferior to his imperial grandfather Emperor Jiajing, but his temperament is greatly influenced by his father, Emperor Longqing, and sometimes he seems not tough enough.
In the original history, Zhu Yijun's performance also proved this. He knew how to control the civil service group, but he could not be as "completely shameless" as Jiajing, which led to the "cold war" that he did not go to court for so many years.
Taking control of the civil service group is nothing more than letting you say whatever you want, I will just go my own way, and at the same time, I will choose a "smart" chief minister to stand in front of the stage and take the blame for myself. From Shen Shixing to Zhao Zhigao, to Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao and even Fang Congzhe, they all actually embody Zhu Yijun's idea.
I don’t need you as the Chief Assistant to be very capable. I just need you to give me less trouble. If you can block the saliva of the civil servant group for me, I can let you stay as the Chief 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 been awarded posthumous titles were generally not liquidated.
Gao pragmatism has three major backers: the emperor, the practical school party, and the richest people in the world. The most useful thing at ordinary times 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, 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 crawl 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 the end is like that of Yan Song, it would be disrespectful - I am not a person without an heir. 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 ghost?" Gao Pingshi 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 nonchalant manner: "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 wouldn't be able to handle it?" 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 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 - he came to inform him, which obviously gave him the decision-making power, and he just wanted to follow Behind oneself, if there is an advantage, take advantage. If there is no advantage... then it is the end of benevolence and justice.
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 open the door 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."

I seem to be ill. I feel a little dizzy today and feel extremely sleepy. Fortunately, I had already thought up this plot a year ago...
