    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    The first day of August in the sixth year of Longqing, Pingdan.

    It was just dawn, and official sedan chairs of various sizes and colors were hurriedly carried past on all the streets leading to the imperial city from all over the capital.  The people in the capital, whose dreams were disturbed, knew that today was the day when all the officials came to court.

    By the time the silent official sedan chair landed in front of Zuo'an Gate, hundreds of officials had already arrived.  Today is the new emperor's first grand court after he ascended the throne. As usual, officials from all yamen in Beijing, regardless of their rank, must come to participateOf course, most people can only kowtow to the emperor outside the Meridian Gate, and cannot enter the Forbidden City.

    Seeing that Shen Ge was getting old, the crowd who had been whispering to each other in a slightly weird atmosphere suddenly fell silent.  For a large number of middle and low-level officials, this highly accomplished and powerful current Taibao is really too lofty. In addition, his presence in the court has been a little weak in recent years, so it is inevitable that people will feel strange.  No one dared to greet him, except Tang Ruji, Chu Dashou, Xu Wei and other old acquaintances.

    "I thought you wouldn't come today." Xu Wei was full of complaints about Shen Mo. All these years, he had been living in the Imperial College for his education plan.  Unexpectedly, when the situation is approaching, Mo Mo acts like a tortoise. How can this not chill the hearts of those guys who pinned their hopes on him.

    "Come back naturally when you're done." Mo Mo touched his nose and smiled wryly: "You're already here, can I not come?"

    "I'm here to see the excitement, and you too?" Xu Wei is in his fifties, and he still can't change his vitriolic habit.

    Tang Ruji next to him couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and he said for silence: "It's really weird today. It's all because yesterday, inside and outside the imperial city, Feng Bao, who had been in office for four days, was killed.  For impeachment, those speech officials are colluding everywhere, and they want to unite with all the officials to put pressure on Feng Bao today. There is no official in the yamen who will not allow this matter to disturb his mind."

    Silence nodded, just about to speak.  There was a commotion in the crowd, the official sedan chair of Mr. Shoufu arrived, and Mr. Gao Ge appeared in front of them with a mixed expression of excitement and anxiety.  It goes without saying that the impeachment of Feng Bao is at the right time, place and people are all ready, and it is a great opportunity to complete his achievements in one battle.  As for the anxiety, the main reason is that after the impeachment memorial was sent to the palace, there was no feedback of any news.  After being the prime minister for so many years, Gao Gong naturally had several eyes and ears in the palace, but he had no choice but to hand over the memorial soon after it was banned from the palace.

    So throughout the whole night, the restless Gao Gong never closed his eyes, but he couldn't convey this worry to the soldiers who were preparing to go into battle, so he could only pretend to be relaxed and greet everyone.

    Gong Gong said that in front of all officials, Gao Gong's prestige is indeed much higher than that of Yang Bolai, who has made little achievements in the capital and kept a low profile. The officials all around looked at the sixty-year-old  The chief minister of the cabinet.

    Among these people, Gao Gong saw his disciples, his subordinates, and his cronies.  A large number of people is strength, which made him feel full of the will to win.  Nodding with Shen Mo, Gao Gong was surrounded by a circle of cronies.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Zhang Ju just came here on a whim. It was really embarrassing for him to appear on this occasion. Although Feng Bao was impeached by the officials, who in the court and the field didn't know that the two of them were wearing a pair of trousers?  How could he not be there at such a critical decisive moment?  Although news came from the palace that the winning ticket was already in hand.  But until the dust settles, who dares to say that the victory is guaranteed?  Especially Mo Mo's sudden return to Beijing last night made him feel very uneasy Normally speaking, if Mr. Shen Ge really wanted to avoid right and wrong, he should return to Beijing after the court meeting. No matter which side wins, he will be able to deal with it calmly  way.  But if he is present, no matter who wins or loses, it will be bad for his reputation.

    ¡®Does he want to intervene?  ¡¯Last night, Zhang Juzheng also stayed up all night, and at dawn, the worry in his heart became more and more serious.  But from the beginning to the end, I have always chosen to hide behind the scenes and add fuel to the flames. The advantage of this is that I can get rid of the relationship and deal with the aftermath, but it also has flaws Those actors in front of the stage are not completely under his control, and even many people  , was just coaxed and tricked, and tied to a chariot.

    Now that the storm is complete, everyone has entered their roles, and no one can control the development of the situation, so he must stand on the front line in case of accidents

    As soon as Zhang Juzheng arrived, the Zuo'an Gate opened.  Under the watchful eye of the supervisory censor, thousands of officials entered Chang'an Avenue in a team and walked towards the Meridian Gate in a mighty manner.

    For a senior official like Shen Mo, he is free before entering the Meridian Gate, but he is unwilling to break the rules and wants to line up to enter, but he is stopped by an old voice: "Jiangnan, help the old man.All the civil and military officials knelt down in unison.  The sun happened to rise at this time, shining on the glazed tiles of the Huangji Hall, which symbolized the supremacy of imperial power, reflecting a dazzling light.  The kneeling officials couldn't see anything clearly for a while, they could only hear the footsteps of 'Du, Du, Du', and a figure appeared on the altar.

    Everyone squinted their eyes with difficulty, and they saw a senior eunuch wearing a scarlet boa and a fork hat.  Few people got it. It was Zhao Cheng, the chief pen-writer of the Supervisor of Rituals, but everyone recognized the bright yellow scroll in his hand, which was the decree of the Emperor of Heaven.

    "The emperor is coming early today, so he ordered his servants to deliver the decree." Zhao Cheng glanced at the officials kneeling on the ground and said expressionlessly.

    "Eunuch Zhao, why didn't the emperor come to court?" Gao Gong asked suspiciously.

    Zhao Cheng gave Gao Gong a strange look, and then said with a straight face: "Stop talking too much, our family is going to announce the decree!"

    At this time, the person who received the order should naturally be the prime minister.  Gao Gong didn't care to be angry at his disrespect, and habitually said loudly: "I will accept the order"

    "It's not for you!" There was a trace of cruel sarcasm on the corner of Zhao Cheng's mouth, his eyes passed him, and he looked at Shen Mo and said: "Mr. Shen, please accept the order!"

    Gao Gong blushed with embarrassment, moved his body backwards clumsily, the surprise in his heart couldn't be overstated, what kind of game is this?  Didn't you slap yourself in the face in public?  There was a strong sense of ominousness in my heart.

    All the officials were also in an uproar. The first decree of the new king after ascending to the throne was to bypass the chief minister and give it to the second minister. What does this mean?  What exactly does it mean?

    "Silence!" Zhao Cheng yelled in a shrill voice, and said silently with one finger: "Mr. Shen, please come forward to receive the order."

    Mo Mo had no choice but to step forward and said in his mouth: "I accept the order in Mo Mo."

    The square, which had been buzzing and whispering just now, suddenly fell silent, and the officials held their breath, lest they hear a word.

    Zhao Cheng unfolded the imperial decree of the yellow silk scroll, and read it aloud:

    "The queen's decree, the imperial concubine's decree: said to the ministers of the five houses and six ministries of the cabinet, Daxing Emperor Bin Tianxian, summoned the cabinet ministers in front of the imperial couch, and my mother and son to accept the will, saying: "Young in the East Palace, Lai  Er counseling. "Gao Gong, a scholar of the university, is taking power and arbitrarily governing, seizing the power of the imperial court and self-discipline. If the emperor is not allowed to be in charge, my mother and son are terrified day and night. Gao Gong is now ordered to return to his hometown and stay idle. You and other ministers are under the authority of the state.  En, you should try your best to repay the lord. How can you be a vassal and despise the young lord? From now on, cleanse your mind and do things with your heart. If there is another person like this, you will be punished. I hereby¡ª"

    All the officials thought it was an imperial decree to expel Feng Bao, but the more they heard it, the more something went wrong. It was not Feng Bao who dismissed the coquettish edict, but the chief minister of Gu Ming, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Gao Gong, the teacher of two generations of emperors.  No room, no mercy, get out immediately, don't stay!

    The air in the square stagnated, and all the officials could feel that their breathing was getting heavier and heavier.  And Gao Gong, the person who was expelled, was already ashen-faced, sweating like rain, unable to get up on the ground A generation of powerful ministers was defeated in the hands of eunuchs who had no means of opening and closing.

    After Zhao Cheng finished reading the imperial decree, he walked down Danchi and handed the yellow silk scroll to Shen Mo's hand.  Only then did they realize that the two generations of emperors, Gao Ge, and elders with power over the government and the public had suddenly fallen from the pinnacle of power where one person was under one person and over ten thousand people This change came so suddenly that all officials panicked  , do not know what to do.  Zhao Cheng had finished his errands and was about to leave, but there was still a deathly silence inside and outside the Huangji Gate.

    Everyone knew that Gao Gong was wronged, and that this imperial decree was out-and-out chaos, but under the pressure of the emperor's authority, which was as sacred and inviolable as the Emperor's Palace, under the pressure of the thunderbolt means of the inner court and the harem.  Suddenly, everyone was deeply shocked, they shuddered, they were dumbfounded, and no one dared to speak.

    Except for the person who does not belong to this era¡ª¡ªZhao Chenggang was about to leave, but someone grabbed the corner of his clothes. He looked back in surprise, and it was Mr. Shen Ge who was still holding the imperial edict in his hand.
