Gao Xingcheng did not dare to hide, let alone defend himself. He could only let His Majesty Li Er kick him down, and then he had to get up and keep his kneeling position. He was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst into tears, for fear that the emperor would be angry.
Then he ran to the wall next to him and took off the sick sword to give himself a break. He kept begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know your mistake. Please spare me this time. I will never dare to do it again."
...Ouch..."
But he was kicked on the chin, biting his tongue, and blood immediately poured out of his mouth.
But why does His Majesty Li Er care about this?
Still kicking non-stop.
Gao Jingcheng was so frightened that he felt that the emperor wanted to kick him to death today. He was so frightened that his tongue hurt so much and blood kept flowing from his mouth. After holding on for a while, he finally collapsed, crying and using his hands and feet.
Climb at the door of the main hall, trying to escape.
Seeing this, His Majesty Li Er became even more angry. He leaned over and grabbed Gao Xingcheng's hair, and dragged him towards the wall, straight to the sword hanging on the wall, and said angrily: "Rat! Today
I will clean up the house for your father and kill wimps like you!"
Gao Jingxing took a look, mother!
This is really planning to kill me!
How could he sit still and wait for death? He struggled desperately and cried: "Your Majesty, please spare me, please spare me..."
Wang De looked on from one side and sighed in his heart: He was also punched and kicked by His Majesty Li Er, but his highly executed reaction was completely different from Fang Jun's. Fang Jun gritted his teeth no matter what the situation.
He won't beg for mercy when his teeth are broken, and if he feels justified in extinguishing himself, he will even hold his neck and argue with his reasons. You can put a knife to his neck and not bow his head!
And what about this one?
Looking at this handsome face, he was already confused by snot, tears, and blood. The white wet marks on the ground showed that his courage was probably shattered and he peed all over the floor.
Shame on you...
Of course, at this time, as the emperor's most trusted chamberlain, it would not be appropriate for him to continue watching the show. He should show up at the right time to stop the emperor. Otherwise, if the emperor is angry and ignores it, once he pulls out the sword, will he cut it or not?
Cut it off, and you will not die if you perform your crime.
Without beheading, how could the emperor step down?
With this in mind, Wang De ignored Gao Jixi and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the furious Majesty Li Er. He cried and begged: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down! Gao Prince Consort already knows his mistake and will repent. Besides, Gao Prince Consort will repent."
The crime will not lead to death! If you kill him, how will you face Duke Shen and how will you explain to Queen Wende?"
This sound brought His Majesty Li Er back from his rage.
Yes, it doesn't matter if you kill a Gao Jie, but how will you face Queen Wende after I die?
He was a smart man. He was so angry that he wanted to kill Gao Xing. Now he regained his consciousness and immediately came down the steps.
However, even though his hand left the sword, his feet still refused to stop and kicked Gao Xingjie in the face again. This time the kick was so strong that Gao Xingjie fell backwards and couldn't catch his breath for a long time...
Wang De was shocked, could he really be kicked to death?
He hurried forward to check and saw Gao Xingyi lying on his back on the ground, with blood flowing from his mouth and nose, but his pupils were blurred and motionless. If his chest hadn't risen and fell violently, he would have almost thought he had been kicked to death...
"Your Majesty, I am going to call the imperial doctor here to give the emperor a diagnosis and treatment?"
Wang De asked cautiously.
His Majesty Li Er also took a few deep breaths and snorted coldly: "No need, you won't die yet!"
"Here!"
Wang De didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to wipe the blood stains on Gao Ji's face, so he quickly stepped aside.
His Majesty Li Er returned to his desk and finished the work. He drank a large sip of tea and the anger in his chest was slightly relieved...
It took a long while before Gao Xingyi, who was lying on the ground, came back to his senses.
The kick just now was on his face, and he felt his eyes darken and he lost all consciousness. Now he recovered, his nose bones were rising, and he just wanted to shed tears.
Struggling to get up from the ground, he knelt in front of His Majesty Li Er and kowtowed: "It's all my fault. I hope Your Majesty will calm down and take care of the dragon body."
His Majesty Li Er shouted: "Take care? Sooner or later I will be pissed off by you evildoers!"
Gao Xingyi was as silent as a cicada and did not dare to say anything more.
His Majesty Li Er calmed down and asked, "How do you plan to deal with the aftermath of this matter?"
Gao Xingyi bowed his head and said: "I will obey your Majesty's will in everything, and I will have no complaints."
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said: "In that case, you should marry that nun back to the house and give her the status of a concubine. Don't treat her coldly and harshly. She is a poor person after all. As for you, go to the Qiu family.
Come on, apologize to General Qiu in person. Your attitude must be sincere and your tone must be humble. If General Qiu refuses to forgive, then you may wish for yourself."
Gao Xinggong had a grimace on his face. It was easy to say anything else, but how about going to Qiu's house to apologize to Qiu Xinggong in person?
That old man was violent and violent. He once ripped out people's hearts and ate them. He had tarnished the Qiu family's reputation. Why should he be thrown into a frying pan by Qiu Xinggong and fed to the dogs after he was sent to his door like this?
But at this moment, he absolutely did not dare to say any nonsense, and quickly responded to the order: "My son, I obey the order!"
No matter what the outcome of going to the Qiu family is, it will be a matter for the future. If he cannot satisfy the emperor now, he may be dismissed from his position and exiled for three thousand miles.
Let’s get through this hurdle first and then talk about it…
His Majesty Li Er paused, glanced at Gao Xingyi coldly, and continued: "This incident was not done by chance. It fully shows that you have always been morally corrupt and have no cultivation. I will order the Political Affairs Hall to remove you from the Ministry of Civil Affairs tomorrow morning.
I am dismissed from my position as Zuo Shilang and go home so that I can study hard for a few more years!"
"Here..."
Gao Jingcheng felt like crying but had no tears.
He was just a left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, one step away from the six ministers, but he was easily lost because he didn't control his belt.
Go home and study?
I am almost forty!
In his recent years, he was actually evaluated by the emperor as "morally corrupt and uncultivated". It seems that this position has been removed, and there is no chance of reinstatement within three to five years.
Now that the Eastern Expedition is imminent, once the successes are achieved, a large number of officials will rise up to take advantage of the situation. In a few years, he will be surpassed by his peers from aristocratic families...
But what else could he say?
If the emperor becomes stubborn and insists on exile for three thousand miles, his whole life will be ruined...
Seeing Gao Zhenxing's expression as if he were mourning for his heir, His Majesty Li Er became even more angry and scolded: "What are you still doing here? Get out of here and let your father explain to you the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius, and read more of the Four Books
Five Classics!”
"Here! My son, please retire!"
Gao Xingying got up, not caring about wiping the snot, tears and blood on his face, and walked out of the hall, fleeing in confusion.
"Evil! Scum!"
His Majesty Li Er looked at Gao Xinghao's back, feeling disappointed and angry at the same time.
This is the young generation of officials he cultivated with his own hands, but each one turns out to be less effective than the last. Be it Changsun Chong or Gao Feng, if they can't even hold on to important tasks, what hope can they have?
Even if you reach a high position in the future by virtue of your family background and qualifications, what will it do to the country?
They are simply a bunch of trash that brings disaster to the country and the people!
I couldn't help but think of Fang Jun again... I felt a little better.
Although Fang Jun's actions this time are somewhat suspected of adding insult to injury, in the final analysis, it was precisely because of Gao Xian's misconduct that Fang Jun took advantage of him. He always resorted to all possible means in court battles, and Fang Jun was able to
After grasping the handle of Gao Jingxing, he only threatened and forced him, but did not make the matter worse and make Gao Jingxing irrecoverable, nor did he tarnish the reputation of the royal family. He still knew how to measure his balance.
Thinking again about Fang Jun's achievements, they are not even comparable to those of Gao Xian...
After all, there are one or two young people who can be reused.
However, he was a little frustrated, and he couldn't figure it out: Why, after carefully cultivating the talents he was optimistic about, one or two of them were of no use, and their mistakes were not guaranteed, but a dude like Fang Jun was able to
Many of them are gradually becoming successful and can they stand alone?
What the hell does this mean?
Is it because I have poor discernment and don’t know people well when selecting talents?
Or is there something wrong with the training method?
His Majesty Li Er fell into deep self-doubt...
*****
The banquet at the Ministry of War lasted for a full hour, and all the officials were enjoying themselves. The atmosphere in the Yamen was harmonious. The first "team building" after Fang Jun took office turned out to be very wonderful.
Work started in the afternoon, with Fang Jun handling official duties in the duty room.
There was a knock on the door, and Fang Jun said without raising his head: "Come in." He still had not put down the official document under his hand.
After the visitor came in, he closed the door with his backhand, walked quickly to Fang Jun's desk, and whispered: "Erlang!"
Fang Jun stopped writing and looked up. When he saw it was Cheng Wuting, he said angrily: "Something went wrong?"
Cheng Wuting quickly shook his head: "Don't worry, Erlang, everything is as expected. It's just that a new situation has arisen. I think I should inform you."
Fang Jun put down his pen and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Cheng Wuting looked around and saw that there was no one else in the house, so he whispered: "I just received news that a carriage left from Changsun's house. The curtains were tightly closed and the carriage was heavily guarded. It had just left the city and arrived at Zhongnan Mountain.
The Taoist temple built by His Highness Changle..."
People from the Changsun family go to see Princess Changle?
Fang Jun's eyes suddenly tightened and he asked in a deep voice: "You mean... Changsun Chong?"
