Bang bang bang, the salute on the pier was shaking.

Yingtian Prefecture, the bow of the official ship moored in the Shuiguan Wharf, and the imperial envoy's flags fluttered high.

Li Zhigang was wearing an ordinary gauze robe, like a teacher in an ordinary private school, but his whole expression was full of complacent ambitions.

"I have been a professional for ten years and have been a senior for nearly twenty years. My life has been half over, and I am today!"

He looked at the officials of all sizes who came to see him off like a tide, and he couldn't help but feel a little bold in his heart.

"A real man should not be powerless for a day! Even if he dies, what's wrong? Even if he is infamous, what if he is not famous? Only by keeping his name in history can he come to the world in vain!"

Most of the officials who came to see him off were his subordinates when he was in the Ministry of Rites, some were new subordinates of the Ministry of Personnel. There were also many Qingliu from the Hanlin Academy Censorate, and even censors from the Sixth Division.

In recent years, officials from the Jiangnan Group in the court have been bullied by the local buns in the north. Li Yigang is from Songjiang and has been a member of the Jiangnan Group since he joined the officialdom. This time he went to the north, he could breathe a lot.

In fact, it is true that Li Zhigang is from Jiangnan, but he is always a marginal person in the Qingliu of Jiangnan. The reason why he is marginalized is because he does not like to shout slogans and talks about righteousness, but is directly acting.

Everyone in the officialdom wants to climb up, but the more direct a person is, the more hard the person is working hard to climb up, and is despised by others.

But at this moment, who dares to despise him in his heart?

Li Zhigang was surrounded by a group of people and stood on the bow of the boat, constantly greeting people around him.

Taking advantage of the gap between others' words, I lowered my voice to Zhang Sigong who was following him, "I will tell you again, you and Xu Liang must promote Tian Ce and Ding Ce and official positions in Shandong 25 years since Hongwu in the shortest time, and find out for me!"

Zhang Sigong and Xu Liang were both personally recommended by the imperial envoy Li Zhigang. It cannot be said that they are of high status and power now, but they are indeed very powerful.

"The official understands!" Zhang Sigong said, "After finding out, Eight hundred liting sent..."

"No!" Unexpectedly, Li Zhigang suddenly interrupted him and gave him a look at the boat.

At the bow of the imperial envoy's official ship, several strong and arrogant Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits.

"Send to the Hedu Hall of the Jinyiwei!" Li Zhigang whispered.

In an instant, Zhang Sigong understood in an instant.

At this moment, the noisy pier suddenly became quiet.

The minister of the Nanshu and the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, wearing a four-clawed golden dragon robe, arrived late under the escort of a team of guards.

"Walking with you, the road will be smooth!" Zhu Gaochi stood on the shore, smiling and bowed.

For some reason, although he was laughing, his smile made Li Zhigang very displeased.

Because he could see that this minister Wang, the emperor's cousin, was very distant to him.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, someone would take the emperor to see him off when the imperial envoy traveled. Zhu Gaochi was here to see him off, but he could have come early, but he was stuck in the auspicious time for travel...

"I'm sorry, Your Highness!" Li Zhigang replied with a smile.

Suddenly, when his eyes fell beside Zhu Gaochi, his eyes changed slightly.

Zhu Gaochi was carrying two people beside him, and he knew them both. On the left is Chen Di, the Grand Secretary of Zuo Chunfang, and on the right is Zhuo Jing, the left secretary of Zhan Shifu.

The identities of these two people are Qinggui among Qinggui, and they are both officials of the Zhanshi Mansion.

Zhan Shifu was specially set up by Emperor Taizu Gao for Emperor Xiaokangxing, but later became the right-hand man of today. That is to say, these people are the emperor's private individuals in the bag.

He also knew that Chen Di succeeded to the position of Minister of Rites after him. During the period when he was not in the capital, some of his government affairs of Minister of Personnel would be handled by Zhuo Jing.

It is normal to promote the officialdom, but the rules of the Ming Dynasty were that later people would inevitably adjust their ex's faults. Zhuo Jing even divided him into Li Zhigang's authority.

You can owe him money but not pay it back, you can scold him, you can spit on him, but you can't divide his power!

"What does he mean to bring these two people?" Li Zhigang was annoyed, "I have never offended him!"

Zhu Gaochi stood on the shore and waved his hand, smiling, "Walking with you, everything will be smooth sailing!"

At the same time, I was thinking in my heart, "Damn it, if I don't draw a clear line with you, will I still want my reputation in the future!"

The officials who saw him off on the shore were all quick-minded. Minister Wang seemed to be so hostile to the imperial envoy, who couldn't tell?

For a moment, the lively scene just now became a little quieter.

~~

Among the officials who saw him off, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others also watched this scene silently.

When Huang Zicheng saw this scene, he suddenly sighed, "I'm afraid it's a lot of constraints when I go here!"

"How can I see it?" Qi Tai asked.

"Look!" Huang Zicheng said in the direction of Zhu Gaochi, "His Highness Wang, who saw him off, was unwilling to do even the best of his face, and even showed hostility. Can he show his strength in Shandong?"

Qi Tai frowned and looked unhappy, "The royal family is the prime minister? It's really absurd!" As he said that, he said angrily, "It's really difficult for us Qingliu to do something in the court now!"

In fact, what he wanted to say was not ridiculous, but ridiculous.

Deep inside him, he wanted to say much more than that.

He looked at the slowly moving ship and said to himself, "The emperor often spoke shocking words when he was studying in Wenhua Palace. He thought he had changed his temperament over the years, but he didn't want to be so distorted! He valued military personnel, did not get close to Qingliu, Qian Gang was arbitrary and did not listen to advice. What should he do if this continues?"

In front of them, after hearing the conversation between the two of them, Zhang Xianzong, a scholar of the East Palace, and Yang Hu looked at each other silently.

"Are these two fools?"

"Did Li Yixing go and offend people? Do they still think it's a good thing?"

Beside Huang Qi and the others, Fang Xiaoru looked at the imperial envoy's ship away and remained silent.

"Master Fang!" Huang Zicheng whispered, "You want to persuade the emperor!" As he said, he sighed, "Be a wise minister, stay away from the villain..."

"Who is virtuous and who is younger?" Fang Xiaoru suddenly spoke and asked the other party directly.

Then, Fang Xiaoru shook his head and turned around, and walked slowly with his hands behind his back.

"Of course we are wise ministers!" Huang Zicheng followed him, "Didn't you notice it? There is an unhealthy trend in the court now!"

Qi Tai also said, "After Emperor Gao of Taizu, Long Yu, returned to heaven, this dynasty should rectify the origin. First, eliminate the severe punishments and laws of Emperor Taizu. Second, open up the road of speech. Third, promote education. But you see, the emperor is now nepotism..."

"We are all old ministers of the Eastern Palace and are in high positions!" Fang Xiaoru interrupted the other party again, "Isn't it a nepotism?"

"This..." Huang Qi and the others were stunned at the same time.

"When the Pope read, I always wondered why the emperor always had different ideas from ours!" Fang Xiaoru said as he walked, "Whether it was interpreting the articles of the saints, talking about history, or governing the country and politics, the emperor was in two directions with us!"

"To say something very disrespectful, sometimes I think what the emperor said and did is really... a bit incredible!"

More than just!

It's like a shadow of Emperor Yang of Sui! He is so happy to be successful, stubborn, and ruthless......

"But now I think about it!" Fang Xiaoru frowned again, "Actually, we may not be right, nor may the emperor be wrong!"

"We should follow the rules and follow the old paths of emperors of all generations, and take the essence of the essence and dross to prevent the escalation of the problem!"

"And the emperor is taking a different approach and trying to innovate!"

"Who is wrong? You can't say that the emperor is wrong if you don't listen to us!" At this point, Fang Xiaoru smiled, "You can't impose what we firmly believe on the emperor!"

"What are you talking about?" Huang Zicheng was shocked, "Scholar Fang! The emperor is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Once the mistake is made, can the country and country of the Ming Dynasty bear it?"
