Gao Gong sighed in his heart, knowing that he should not think about the Holy Punishment in the future. Emperor Longqing would not be able to do so at all. He would still throw the cabinet and fight with Xu Jie. He must increase his strength. Seeing the situation of the 28th anniversary today, Gao Gong felt even more urgent. So he immediately spoke:

"The Ministry of Rites has submitted a note to the crown prince, and please read it with Your Majesty."

Emperor Longqing immediately lost his sleepiness and became energetic.

"The crown prince is the foundation of the country and should be enacted quickly. This is the top priority and must be handled solemnly. We must inform all countries and ask them to send envoys to watch the ceremony.

In short, this matter must be done well. If you have any supplements, just say it."

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong immediately interjected: "You can do the best in all aspects, but the official who presided over the ceremony should be the Minister of Rites. However, the former Minister of Rites Yan Na has entered the cabinet. Now the Minister of Rites is vacant and can only be handled by the Minister of Rites, which is a bit inappropriate."

Emperor Longqing was stunned. At this time, he finally remembered that he had promised to promote Luo Xin to the Minister of Rites. But he forgot.

This seems a little sorry for Master Luo!

He hurriedly gave Luo Xin an apology look, and then shouted: "Master Luo is the Minister of Rites, and is promoted to the Minister of Rites."

Luo Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this unreliable emperor finally remembered to promote himself...

Although he felt that Emperor Longqing was unreliable and he also looked forward to the Minister of Rites, according to the rules of the officialdom, Luo Xin could not immediately thank him and expressed his willingness to serve as the Minister of Rites.

Be humble! Be reserved!

Therefore, Luo Xin walked out and said, "I am afraid that I am not able to do it and will never dare to obey the sacred order."

Emperor Longqing naturally knew about this procedure, so he wanted to persuade him. Gao Gong smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, this Minister of Rites is one of the nine ministers, and it should be recommended by the court as usual."

Emperor Longqing, who was sorry for Luo Xin, then reacted and hurriedly said, "It was me who neglected me, so let me push you now."

"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie said at this time: "The Minister of Rites is one of the nine ministers, and the matter is of great importance. The court is a heavy court order and should be carried out according to the rules. Please ask Your Majesty to determine the date and then collect all officials of the third rank or above, and Your Majesty must avoid it."

Emperor Longqing was not very clear about these rules, so he looked at Gao Gong, and Gao Gong nodded. Emperor Longqing said:

"Sir Gao, what kind of life do you think?"

Gao Gong did not give Xu Jie a chance to speak, and immediately replied: "The Minister of Rites cannot be idled, and he needs to preside over the ceremony of establishing a crown prince. It is better to be early rather than late, so it is decided after the morning court today."

Xu Jie's lips moved, and finally he didn't speak. He knew in his heart that this could not be stopped. From the moment when Luo Xin was promoted to the cabinet and let Luo Xin preside over the new emperor ascend the throne, Xu Jie knew that this was Emperor Longqing giving Luo Xinteng. If he dared to stop it, it would be a pity for Emperor Longqing.

Now he has not yet undermined the strength of Emperor Longqing, but Emperor Longqing has the strength to dismiss him. Therefore, since he cannot stop it, don’t show his malice.

Luo Xin looked calm, he knew that this matter had come naturally.

Although Gao Gong and Xu Jie were fighting, there were only 20% of their supporters, as if Xu Jie had 80% of their supporters.

It's not that way at all.

That's because Gao Gong proposed to popularize the 10 taxes and one, which challenged all officials, that is, the Gao Party members had to give up their economic interests to support him for political interests. The centrists and the soy sauce party all supported Xu Jie in this matter and temporarily joined Xu Jie. However, this does not mean that they joined the Xu Party.

They are still watching, and there are definitely many officials waiting and watching.

Xu Jie betrayed Emperor Longqing, which made the centrists and the soy sauce party very cautious about joining the Xu party. Gao Gong's background and character also made the centrists and the soy sauce party very cautious about Gao Gong. This made Xu Jie or Gao Gong far from controlling the court.

Xu Jie was able to occupy some advantages, probably 30% of these officials in the Ganqing Palace, Gao Gong only had 20%, and the remaining 50% were centrists and soy sauce parties.

Since Luo Xin became an official, he fought in the east and west, and brought a peaceful life for the Ming Dynasty. Established the mutual market and the Maritime Bureau to exchange for a wealthy life for everyone. It can be said that all officials in the court had to recognize Luo Xin's favor. Moreover, when Luo Xin was in the capital, he was very low-key and friendly. Although the centrists and soy sauce parties believed that Luo Xin was still weak and would not join him, they undoubtedly had a good impression of Luo Xin.

Especially Emperor Jiajing sent dozens of officials to the Heavenly Prison, Luo Xin tried every means to rescue those officials, and was also sent to the prison by Emperor Jiajing for this matter, which made these officials more favorable to Luo Xin. Therefore, these 50% of the centrists and soy sauce parties will definitely vote for it.

Gao Gong proposed that Luo Xin was promoted to Minister of Rites. The 20% of Gao Party's party would definitely support Luo Xin. The 30% of Xu Jie's is no longer important.

This is why Luo Xin is calm.

"Authentication!" Emperor Longqing stood up and said, "Let's just come here today's morning court. The most important thing now is to push the court. Everything will be discussed later. I'll wait for the morning court tomorrow."

After saying that, Emperor Longqing left, leaving behind the ministers looking at each other.

Luo Xin stood there with his eyes looking at the nose, his nose looking at the mouth, and his mouth looking at the heart. Gao Gong was about to speak, but Xu Jie took the lead and said:

"Now let's start court pushing."

Gao Gong was very dissatisfied with Xu Jie's words, but this was a tribute to Luo Xin. He didn't want to be a bit of a clue, so he simply kept silent. Instead, Luo Xin's mouth raised, and a hint of sarcasm appeared.

Xu Jie stood up first, and Luo Xin suddenly heard that tone. This was to tell the Xu Party officials to vote for Luo Xin. Since it could not be stopped, he would release his kindness to Luo Xin. On the one hand, he could win Luo Xin's kindness, and even if he couldn't fight, he could numb Luo Xin. On the other hand, he could discard the relationship between Luo Xin and Gao Gong. If all the Xu Party members voted for it and Gao Gong, who was not broad enough, would he suspect that Luo Xin and Xu Jie had a private deal?

This is the effect Xu Jie expects, turning an unfavorable situation into a favorable situation.

Skillful and cunning.

The voting result was indeed within Luo Xin's expectations, but beyond the expectations of all officials.

Luo Xin expected that he had a great chance of passing the vote unanimously, but in fact he did pass the vote unanimously.

No one objected, no one abstained from power.

This situation has never happened, because a person has been promoted to a certain level, and there will definitely be political enemies. It is impossible to pass the vote unanimously.
