It was finally easy for Xu Jie to sit on the Grand Master's chair. The officials returned to their respective positions.

Xu Jie said slowly, "Uncle, I am slow. It's a little late. What you were persuading just now seems to be controversial." Chang Sihao felt in his heart. He thought that he was not in the hall just now. He could hear Zhang Juzheng explain the two of them. Obviously, his ears were quite good. His eyes were fascinated. He pretended to be like this. Zhang Juzheng said, "Return to the Enxiang. I just chatted about the three of us. Li Cifu and Mr. Chen have different views. The students participated in the discussion. There was no dispute."

Xu Jie took off his ear bag and said, "Human life theory. This is a good question. What does Li Cifu say?"

Chen Yiqin said: "Mr. Li just said that our Master Xu was the first to be a senior, but he was able to take up the position of chief assistant. Obviously talent is just a small matter. And luck is indispensable."

Li Chunfang was immediately embarrassed. Although Chen Yiqin just reposted these words and sentences, it changed the flavor after this statement. It seemed that he looked down on Mr. Xu. It seemed that he was saying that he could have what he is today. It was all due to luck.

Xu Jie knew that Li Chunfang had always followed his leader, so he would not speak rashly. He smiled faintly and said, "Why did Mr. Chen sit in the last seat today? Do you think this seat should be arranged in reverse from the end?"

Chang Sihao didn't understand it at first. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the normal seat positions of the four people were from high to low. In turn, Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, Chen Yiqin, and Zhang Juzheng. In the order of the left, right, left, and right, Chen Yiqin proposed to change seats with Zhang Juzheng. Then if Zhang is still counted backwards, Li Chunfang's position became the chief. It turned out that he had changed this position. In fact, he had secretly provoked Xu Jie. Unexpectedly, Xu Jie saw through it on the spot. He was nailed to death and became a humiliation. He secretly observed it at Chen Yiqin. He was indeed a little embarrassed.

Xu Jie smiled and said, "From my perspective, I'm right. The fortune is invisible and intangible. But it's real. Many people are stubborn and think that people can overcome nature. They often rely on their own courage and work hard. In the end, they can only spend time. I can go all the way to this day. In addition to the grace of the emperor and the help of all the masters, more than half of them are indeed based on luck."

Zhang Juzheng said: "What kindness is said is very true. Numerology is inherently all-encompassing. Luck is indispensable. However, the kindness and virtue are beyond the reach of talent. We are even more talented." After hearing this, the officials nodded in response. There was a sound of chanting in the hall. Chang Sihao looked around. These officials who were affiliated with him accounted for at least 70%. His heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy. Qi Jiguang was sitting diagonally across the aisle. At this moment, he was looking left and right. His eyes were flickering. Obviously, he was very uneasy. But there was a man beside him with a picture-like eyebrows and a heroic spirit. His leisurely expression was in sharp contrast with him. When he looked carefully, it was Guo Shuronghua.

"when.."

The bell rang and suddenly brightened.

The music sounds rise. The two teams of musicians embrace the silk and bamboo sheng Xiao followed. They move on both sides during the performance. The music sounds and the atmosphere is extremely magnificent.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs Li Fang and Feng Bao, Longqing walked in slowly from behind. The ministers hurriedly knelt on the ground and waited for him to take his seat.

Longqing has changed his Tiantian crown when he was worshiping the Kitchen God. At this moment, he is wearing a rectangular golden crown with colorful jade bead curtains hanging from front and back. He is black and yellow robe and embroidered with sun, moon and dragon patterns. It is extremely gorgeous.

He climbed to Zichentai from the side steps and sat down slowly on the throne. The people behind him lined up in two hatches, and the sound of the song stopped.

Long Qing waved his hand and Li Fang passed on a message: "The emperor has an order. All the ministers are calm. Please sit down."

The ministers praised Xie Song's kindness and had just returned to the seat after performing the bowing ceremony. The inner court has changed a lot recently. Now Li Fang has been promoted to the eunuch in charge of the seal of the ritual supervisor. Feng Bao was on the side but said quietly. In contrast, the situation was even more obvious. The officials nodded in their hearts.

Li Fang and Longqing looked at each other. They took two steps forward, shook the whisk in their hands, and carried it on their arms. They whispered loudly to everyone with a smile: "The emperor has an order: family, country, country, country, and country. Today, this state banquet is also a family banquet. The emperor loves the people. The ministers love the king. Everyone, the king and the ministers, enjoy together. Let's work together. Don't talk about government affairs. Just be happy."

The ministers looked at each other and all turned their eyes to Mr. Xu.

Xu Jie bowed and said, "The emperor is wise and wise. I am obeying the order." All the officials bowed and replied. Suddenly, one of them stood up and said, "I have reported to you that the emperor. I have a state affairs." His voice was extremely bright. Everyone's eyes gathered. The man came from the seat of the official. It was Wenlin Lang Zhan Yangbi.

When Longqing saw it, he felt annoyed. The faction among the censors was chaotic. They did not do serious business all day long. They either impeached this or impeached that. But no matter what, they were a dispute between ministers. This person was just unable to get along with himself. When he was free, he would ask about trivial matters in the palace. He would make a lot of mistakes and make mistakes. He would make a mistake out of nothing. The purpose was to imitate Hai Rui and want to gain the reputation of a loyal minister. Now he wanted to speak. If he didn't let him say it, he would block the way of speaking and not be loyal to advice. If he listened, he might still be able to say something. Whether it was a stolen or a random suspicion, he was missing the topic. After following you started to discuss it one by one. That would be a mess.

Li Fang also served the emperor for a long time. He understood Longqing's intentions at a glance. Zhan Yangbi was just a dispersed official. He didn't take it seriously. He said immediately: "Zhan Yangbi. Today is a family dinner for the New Year. It is mainly entertainment. I don't talk about government affairs. Didn't you hear what the emperor said just now?"

"I didn't hear it."

The shouting sounded so loud that the hall echoed. The officials were trembling all over when they heard it. The timid ones had already peed their pants.

Li Fang said in surprise: "You...you are so brave."

Zhan Yangbi said, "You were talking just now. The emperor made no noise. You were deliberately confused and acted presumptuously in public. If you want to be brave, Zhan believed that he was really not young. But I am afraid he was not as big as your Eunuch Li."

The palace was silent. Li Fang's eyes widened and could not speak. The whisk in the bend of his arms was shaking. Feng Bao looked coldly on his side, and his face was expressionless.

Longqing slowly spoke and said, "What Zhan Aiqing and Li Fang said are all my words. Just say whatever you have."

Although his voice was not loud, he was on the high platform. The sound waves dropped and scattered, stirring back and forth between the giant pillars, expanding several times, and naturally seemed magnificent and intimidating.

This was the first time that many of the officials heard the emperor speak, and their bodies were lowered.

Zhan Yangpi said with no fear. He said proudly: "Report to the emperor. Since the last court meeting, I have not seen the emperor again for more than half a year. I dared to ask the previous question. The emperor is in a deep palace. What are they doing?"

The censor Zhang Qi suddenly stood up and said, "Zhan Yangpi. You dare to speak like this to the emperor. This is very disrespectful."

Zhan Yangbi turned his head and his eyes widened. His voice was even higher than him: "The emperor has a wise ruler. Zhan asked him bluntly. What's wrong with it?"

Zhang Qi said angrily: "The emperor asked you to speak, not to let you roar."

Zhan Yangbi turned his face and looked at him with his hands behind his back. He said, "Zhan was born with a bright voice. It was because of his righteousness. Those treacherous villains were guilty of being thief and could not listen to the thunder sound. It was not Zhan's fault."

Longqing looked at the situation quietly. He knew that whenever his father was angry, he would pull the censor down to the court. He had personally experienced their power since he ascended the throne. The last time he impeached Gao Gong was still scared now. The more he was beaten, the better his reputation was. If he did it, he would be criticized for harming the wise. He immediately handed his eyes to the seats of the four cabinet ministers.

Xu Jie's eyelids were not raised, silent. Li Chunfang smiled and said kindly: "Don't argue with you. Lord Zhan. Your loyalty is commendable. Everyone understands the meaning. Although the emperor does not come to court, he dares to forget the great affairs of the world. Many things are not something that must be solved by going to court. As long as you are loyal to your duties and do your own things well. Everyone performs their duties, unite the top and the bottom, and be united in one heart and virtue. Naturally, it will make my Ming Dynasty happy and prosperous, and the country and the people are safe."

Zhan Yangbi bowed and said, "What Master Li said is very good. Yangbi is convinced."

Chang Sihao was stunned. Unexpectedly, he was thundering loudly. He heard Li Chunfang's mouth shrank. However, the officials in the hall smiled strangely. He understood that he had another fake shot. He would definitely have a backup plan.

Sure enough, Zhan Yangpi Xu said: "Since that's the case, Yangpi will talk about something within the scope of his duties. This matter is a state affairs. But since 'the country is the family, the family is the country', then family affairs are state affairs. State affairs are family affairs. When talking about family affairs at family banquets, it is not considered to be against the emperor's will."

Longqing also understood his trick. He knew that he would not let him say that he would definitely bring out the ancestral teachings and sages again. He made it endlessly. He said lightly: "Tell me."

Zhan Yangbi said: "The emperor. This year's case of Xu Gao (gǎo) greed for ink was impeached by Eunuch Li. At that time, I thought it was strange, so I launched an investigation. Recently, I finally clarified the truth. Xu Gao was responsible for the construction of Lugou Bridge. It was true that the greed for ink was false. It was also true that he was impeached by Eunuch Li. However, the reason why he was impeached by Eunuch Li was related to the uneven distribution of the spoils. When the construction of the Yongshou Palace in Xiyuan was built, Eunuch Li colluded with Xu Gao and shared the benefits from it."

The officials were upset when they heard this.

Li Fang said with her finger: "What evidence do you have?" His voice was already slender. At this moment, it sounded cramped and even more weird.

Zhan Yangbi said: "It's not easy to get evidence. The affairs of the Ministry of Works are not reported by the Ministry of Works themselves. It's not that the censors found out the head. How did Eunuch Li know in the deep palace? I have handed over all the secret documents and secret accounts of your exchanges to the cabinet. At this moment, they are all in the hands of Master Chen. You want to see it. You can go and see it yourself."

Li Fang was so furious that hundreds of court officials were watching. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, there is no such thing. Please give the emperor the master of the slave."

Longqing's eyes swept down. Chen Yiqin immediately stood up as soon as he saw it: "Report to the emperor, the old minister had already seen all the evidence half a month ago. After someone checked it, it was generally true."

Longqing knew that he added the four words "half a month ago". It seemed that he had passed by. In fact, there was a lot of articles. If he knew about this, he should report it up. He did not receive the memorial. Obviously, there was something wrong in the middle. Li Fang was recommended to the position many times by Xu Jie. Then Chen Yiqin's words naturally had the hint of "Xu Jie suppressing this matter in the cabinet." Thinking of this, his eyes swept to his right.

Xu Jie raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Chen Yiqin, and glanced at the side of Emperor Zichentai. He knew that he had never had such documents at all. There was no problem of suppressing them. This matter would not come early or late, but broke out publicly at the New Year banquet. Obviously, it was planned for a long time. And with Zhan Yangbi's ability to talk, it was impossible to catch Li Fang's handle. If there was really evidence in the other party's hands, it would be Feng Bao, who was also in the big room, who was secretly slandered.

He glanced at Li Fang, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over his body, exhaled slowly and closed his eyes again.

Abandoned son.

Seeing his expression like this, Longqing understood in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "Come." The warrior on the side of the palace responded and left. Longqing: "Please put Li Fang in jail and investigate carefully." The warrior responded with a loud bang. He stepped forward and raised Li Fang and dragged him down.
