On the one hand, Xu Jie reacted a little now, and Emperor Longqing was just a lazy person, so lazy that he was forgetful.

You think about it!

Emperor Longqing was too lazy to forget even Xu Jie's betrayal of him. Zhang Juzheng became the crown prince. Emperor Longqing must have been very happy at first, remembering Zhang Juzheng's goodness. But he would soon be too lazy to forget.

Moreover, Luo Xin consciously spread some words, which reduced Zhang Juzheng's contribution.

Another result is that Gao Gong has a great sense of crisis. Such a sense of crisis will definitely cause Gao Gong to deepen his relationship with Ma Fang and Luo Xin. Moreover, Ma Fang and Luo Xin will also have this sense of crisis, which has led to the closer relationship between the three of them.

The most important thing is that Emperor Longqing was too lazy, and Xu Jie was able to foresee the future. Emperor Longqing would not be able to manage the government, and he would not be able to judge the holy rule. Everything would be fought for in the cabinet through struggle.

"Grade Gao, Your Majesty's body?" Luo Xin's face showed a deep anxiety.

Gao Gong naturally knew what Emperor Longqing was doing when he didn't go to court every day. Xu Jie had secret spies in the palace, and he also had them. So, his face also showed concern:

"Yes, but what can I do? Now only those who are ministers have worked harder. By the way, you have to enter the cabinet quickly. Only when you get the position can you contribute more to Your Majesty."

Luo Xin was silent and remembered that Emperor Longqing promised him to be the Minister of Rites. But... it seemed that Emperor Longqing had forgotten...

Go to court.

Emperor Longqing sat on the dragon throne, his face full of fatigue. Luo Xin and Gao Gong looked at each other and sighed silently.

Gao Gong and Luo Xin were worried, but all the officials were in high spirits.

I've been to court again!

You can quarrel again!

"Report to Your Majesty..."

Now, someone started the report immediately.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice, and the Inspectorate also reported that in accordance with the will of the late emperor and the eternal edict of Your Majesty, the three departments have begun to rehabilitate unjust and wrong cases, and have preliminarily formulated a list..."

After talking a lot, Emperor Longqing just said lazyly, "Check it."

"Report to Your Majesty."

You just finished singing and I made my debut.

"Now the Northern Mutual Market, the Southern Mutual Market is prosperous and prosperous, and merchants from various prefectures flocked to it. Thirty-one taxes are no longer suitable. Moreover, the Maritime Market and Northern Mutual Market had tried 15 taxes. I believe that this is far from enough, and it should be 10 taxes. And it should not be limited to the Northern Mutual Market and the Southern Mutual Market, but should be promoted nationwide."

"Absurd, how can we compete with the people for profit?" This is the voice of opponents.

"You are absurd. You take it from the people and use it for the people. Do you understand?"

"You are truly absurd. The Ming Dynasty emphasizes agriculture over commerce, and merchants are pursuing profits. Once the commercial tax is increased, there is no doubt that the status of merchants will be improved. If the merchants have status, wouldn't the entire Ming Dynasty start to pursuing profits?

This is a shake of the country's foundation!"

“…………”

In just an instant, the Qianqing Palace became a vegetable market, and the debate was unprecedented. Luo Xin watched coldly and saw Xu Jie and Gao Gong not speaking, as if he was watching from the wall.

But Luo Xin knew very well that Gao Gong proposed to increase the commercial tax, because the person who reported the report was Gao Gong's person. Later, those who jumped out to support him were Gao Gong's people.

However, the people who oppose it are not just Xu Jie's.

Let me put it this way, except for Gao Gong's people who support it, the rest of the people who are opposing Xu Jie, the centrists, and the so-called people who are fiercely opposing this proposal.

This is normal!

The horses are not fat without night grass. Now, those officials who are standing in the Ganqing Palace do not do business?

It's just that they don't show up. This increases the business tax and is to pay money from their pockets. Gao Gong is declaring war on all the officials and wanting all the merchants to declare war.

This is definitely a hornet's nest. I'm afraid Gao Gong will have a lot of trouble in the future and will be difficult.

"Oh..." Luo Xin sighed in his heart: "Gao Gong is still too impatient. He was only targeting the mutual market and the Maritime Bureau. Now Gao Gong wants to target all merchants at once, and still targeting the ten taxes.

Grandma Tall, you are not the chief minister of the cabinet now!

Even if you become the chief minister of the cabinet, you cannot do this before your heels are stable. It is like walking on the edge of a cliff!

not to mention……

You have another Xu Jie standing there."

Luo Xin's eyes swept over the people in the hall, and his heart sank even more.

Open 28!

Only 20% support Gao Gong, while 80% oppose Gao Gong.

In this way, Gao Gong was really suppressed by Xu Jie in the court! This is also Luo Xin's people, and they are not qualified to stand in the Ganqing Palace. If Luo Xin enters the cabinet and takes a few years to promote some of his own people, Luo Xin can speak out in the court.

The sound became louder and louder. Gao Gong looked at the small number of people on his side and couldn't stand it anymore, so he coughed heavily and shouted:

"Stop quarrel!"

This voice calmed the hall, and Gao Gong immediately spoke:

"It's better to invite the Holy Lord!"

The officials in the Ganqing Palace lowered their heads slightly and waited for the Holy Prison.

but……

However, he had not heard the voice of Emperor Longqing for a long time. Gao Gong couldn't help but look up at Emperor Longqing on the dragon throne. His figure couldn't help but shiver, and a huge loss arose in his heart.

Then... Emperor Longqing actually fell asleep!

Sleeping in such a loud quarrel...

How tired Emperor Longqing was at night! How unimportant he paid attention to court!

Gao Gong couldn't help but glared at Feng Bao who was standing beside Emperor Longqing, and Feng Bao hurriedly gently pulled Emperor Longqing's sleeve.

"oh?"

Emperor Longqing was not sleeping properly. After Feng Bao gently pulled him, he woke up. His eyes swept down to the bottom and saw the officials standing there quietly, lowering their heads slightly.

"What does this mean? Did you retreat from the court?"

Although Emperor Longqing did not understand the government affairs, he remembered that he could not be embarrassed, so he did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Feng Bao and gave a look, which meant:

"Have you retreated from the court?"

Feng Bao followed Emperor Longqing for the rest of his life and knew Emperor Longqing more. He understood Emperor Longqing's eyes at once and shook his head slightly.

Emperor Longqing was in a dilemma. He didn't know what was going on, so he looked down and saw that everyone had their heads slightly lowered, and they couldn't tell what it meant.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw Luo Xin looking up at him and posing with him.

"Check it!"

He knew the lip of these two words very well. After going to court for a few days, he just talked about these two words. He immediately understood it in his heart and said:

"Check it!"

"call……"

All the officials breathed a sigh of relief, but they were surprised that His Majesty was so slow to react?

The memorial was delivered to Emperor Longqing. Emperor Longqing hurriedly read it and said calmly:

"I want to think about this, is there anything else?"

"I have a memorial!"
