Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 590 Guo Ge's Worries (4 more words)
Guo Pu, the elder of the three dynasties and Gu Ming's first assistant, was walking in the palace, his face was as sinking as water in a hurry.

Guo Pu is in his sixties this year, and he is already in his seventies. Although he is in good health, as a rule, he has reached the age of becoming an official.

So this year he has submitted two memorials to beg for bones, but after the emperor consulted the queen mothers of the two palaces, he did not approve both times.

Not to mention, the Empress Dowager Rensheng gave Guo Pu ten boxes of Longxu crisps alone; the Empress Dowager Cisheng was even more generous, giving a golden tortoise, a golden crane, and a picture of a hundred years of life.

The Empress Dowager Cisheng also sent a message to Guo Pu alone, saying: "After the emperor's wedding, Ai's family can't look after him every day, but he can only rely on Yuanfu to take care of him. Yuanfu was ordered by the late emperor. How can he bear to resign as a prime minister? You should do your best to participate in it." Fu, don't insist on resigning."

If it is said that Gao Gong was firmly seated as the first assistant, it was mainly due to the prestige and inertia brought from the Longqing era to the Wanli era, and Longqing's last sentence before his death that "anything unresolved, just ask Mr. Gao".Then the reason why Guo Pu's position as chief assistant is still considered stable is that apart from being "the last Gu Mingfu minister" and Gao Wuzhi's support in Gao's party, the rest is all due to the strength of the empress dowagers of the two palaces Supported.

The empress dowagers of the two palaces do not have much political talent, but they have the same advantage, that is, they are extremely persistent in the ancestral system. It seems to them that to govern the country first depends on the cabinet, and the cabinet first depends on Yuansuke. So they have always relied heavily on Guo Pu, the old Yuanfu.

Guo Pu sometimes even wondered if the late emperor had any confessions, because this idea was very similar to that of the late emperor when he used Gao Gong to manage the government: it doesn't matter if I can't do it, as long as Yuanfu can do it, I will listen to Yuanfu.

However, the facts that happened today are too tricky, and I'm afraid something big will happen.

You know, since the emperor's wedding in the fifth year of Wanli, the empress dowagers of the two palaces have not directly received the court officials for three years. After the wedding, the empress dowagers of the two palaces began to treat him slowly as an adult.

But this is also a dangerous period, which is the stage when the empress dowagers of the two palaces conduct their final inspection of the emperor.If this period passes safely and smoothly, the emperor will formally take charge of the government at a certain time, and he will truly rule the world from then on; but if there are major mistakes during this period, it is not impossible for the empress dowagers of the two palaces to severely punish the emperor.

Moreover, if there is an extreme situation, and if an agreement can be reached between the empress dowagers of the two palaces, they may even seek the support of the foreign court to establish a new monarch-King Lu is also the son of the former emperor, and because he is underage, he is currently in the palace , and I heard that Empress Dowager Li loved him very much.

The possibility of such an extreme situation as setting up a new monarch is of course very small, but Guo Pu, as the chief assistant of Gu Ming, has to consider it - if the situation is so serious, can he persuade him?

Such a major event cannot be accomplished by the empress dowagers of the two palaces by themselves, at least they must have the support of important ministers. I and Zhang Siwei will definitely not support it. There is no doubt about it, but... Shen Shixing and Yu Youding ?
Even Xu Guo couldn't completely rule out the possibility. Although he was Gao Gong's disciple, he was from Southern Zhili, and he was actually greatly influenced by Xinxue.

If the empress dowagers of the two palaces want to establish a new monarch, and Zhang Siwei and herself oppose it, then a situation will arise. Once Shen Shixing, Yu Youding, and Xu Guo support the two palaces, and the matter is finally completed, the cabinet will inevitably In the event of a turmoil, I and Zhang Siwei will probably go to their seats, and the seats left will belong to the three of them...

At that time, Shen Shixing can take over as the first assistant, Yu Youding will be the second assistant, and Xu Guo will follow closely.

Under such temptation, their position is hard to say.

Guo Pu's brows were frowned into Sichuan characters, thinking hard about these conflicts of interests, and the possible attitudes of the empress dowagers of the two palaces. In a sense, he also regards Zhu Yijun as his disciple now.

But this disciple has a special status, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has caused such a big trouble, what Guo Pu has to consider is not only protecting him, but also considering the next education - agreeing to abolish the emperor is not in Guo Pu's consideration Not to mention that once the emperor is abolished, the foundation laid by the Gao Party for many years will be dug up. Guo Pu can't tolerate the national turmoil caused by the abolition of the emperor.

Fortunately, although the cabinet was in the palace, it was far away from the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and there were detours in the past, so Guo Pu still had time to calculate the pros and cons and think about how to deal with it.

He suddenly thought, if Su Qing was still there, what would he do in such a situation?
The emperor ignored the ancestral precepts, and privately took the two princesses out of the palace, and ran to the home of his ministers, and left and right, the four of them stayed alone in a small building for nearly three hours!
What is this doing?
If this kind of thing spreads to the people, I don't know what kind of nasty appearance it will be made into. I'm afraid it will become the biggest scandal involving the princess in the 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
Gao Yushi and Zhu Yijun are both Guo Pu's disciples. Guo Pu still has basic confidence in their character. At least he will not think that the emperor will bring the two princesses to Gao Yushi's place. But the folks always like to speculate on this kind of thing, and then spread the rumors, and in the end, the ghost knows what it will look like.

After all, Empress Dowager Li is not politically sensitive enough. The root of her anger is that after the two princesses were taken out by Zhu Yijun, they somehow fell in love with someone. This is absolutely not allowed in the harem system established by Emperor Taizu of.

But Guo Pu knew that the reputation of the two princesses was not a big deal, but the real trouble now was that the Empress Dowager Li didn't realize the crux of the problem. Instead of blocking the news, she publicly punished the emperor and the two princesses.

If the news of a young emperor who is not in charge of the government being punished for violating the ancestral system spreads, if it is handled improperly, it may cause shocks throughout the country!
Under this question, the reputation of the princess and what role Gao Wu played in it are all trivial issues that are not worth mentioning!
He Guo Pu is Gu Ming's chief assistant, the first thing to consider is the stability of the country!If the country is in turmoil because of this, how will he face the late emperor in the future?How to face Gao Gong?

Guo Pu, who was full of lawsuits, turned around a palace gate, and suddenly bumped into a person head-on, and the person quickly supported Guo Pu.

Guo Pu looked intently, but it was Huang Mengyu's nephew Liu Ping.

Liu Ping supported Guo Pu and apologized again and again. Guo Pu knew that he and his uncle Huang Mengyu were important allies of Gao Yu in the inner court, so naturally he would not be angry. He was about to say "no problem" and leave, but Liu Ping But taking the opportunity to support him, he whispered: "The supervisor of the factory has already known what happened just now. He has rushed to the Ciqing Palace to find the Empress Dowager Chen, and at the same time sent someone out of the palace to inform Gao Yude of the news..."

When Guo Pu heard this, he quickly thanked him: "The factory supervisor and Eunuch Liu are here. I don't know what else the factory supervisor has to say?"

Liu Ping first laughed loudly and said: "Mr. Guo Ge is too polite. It's because our family can't walk well and bumped into Mr. Ge. It should be our family who apologizes."

Then pretended to bow and apologize, and immediately whispered: "The factory supervisor said that Gao Yude told him before he returned to his hometown in the sixth year of Wanli that if anything happened in the palace, just stick to one principle. : As long as the emperor is fine, everything else is trivial. So the factory supervisor asked our family to keep talking to you, please take care of the emperor for the emperor."

Guo Pu heard him say that Gao Yushi had confessed to Huang Mengyu two years ago, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes, nodded slowly, and said, "Thank you for the reminder from the factory supervisor, the old man knows."

Liu Ping smiled, bowed and said, "Mr. Ge is too polite, please go slowly."
