"Lord Li! To you!"
"Eighth Wangye, I dare not accept it. This old minister respects you!”
In a secret room, Li Fang and Gao Qi were drinking together.
If this matter were to spread, the cabinet chief would collude with the current prince.
Both of them were beheaded!
However, it was obvious that this was not the first time they had met.
Li Fang stroked her beard and said,"Your Highness, you're really smart. Your Majesty has already become lazy."”
The Eighth Prince laughed out loud." My nephew is still too inexperienced. He wants to be the sole ruler of the world. You guys just bring all the trivial matters to the court to argue. How can he be appeased?!"”
"From today onwards, Lord Li will really be in charge of all the officials!" The Eighth Prince raised his wine cup and said.”
Li Fang also raised her glass and drank a glass of wine.
All of this was Li Fang and Gao Qi's scheme.
When Gao Lingfeng ascended the throne, he ordered the ministers to discuss state affairs at the court meeting.
Gao Qi gave Li Fang an idea.
He asked him to bring everything over for discussion.
From major military affairs to small matters such as the Ministry of Revenue buying ink and brush, all major and minor matters were brought up for discussion.
Every time, the courtiers would argue over trivial matters until their faces turned red.
After three years of this, the Emperor's mentality finally collapsed.
Now that the Emperor did not have morning court, wouldn't the power fall into the hands of the cabinet chief?
Li Fang stroked her beard and said,"However, His Majesty is lazy in politics. We, the assistant ministers, still have to advise him!"”
"The two assistants and I want to jointly write a letter! Admonish Your Majesty!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Gao Qi said with a smile. It's also the duty of a minister to persuade the emperor!"
"This time, we will not hesitate to advise Your Majesty!" Li Fang said.”
Gao Qi laughed.
Li Fang had used this trick many times, threatening the Emperor with resignation every time.
Gao Lingfeng had only been in power for three years, and he didn't have any talents to be the chief assistant.
If Li Fang really resigned, the country would be shut down.
So every time, he would pinch his nose, admit defeat to Li Fang, and invite him back to be the chief assistant.
Now, Li Fang was using the same trick again. Of course, it was not to let Gao Lingfeng continue to attend the morning court session.
He was only trying to give himself a good reputation as a remonstrant king!
When Gao Lingfeng returned to the harem, he met Xiao Dezi.
Xiao Dezi had just returned from the arsenal. He immediately went up to Gao Lingfeng when he saw him.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"It's Xiao Dezi! How's your martial arts training?"
Gao Lingfeng asked casually.
Martial arts were difficult to practice, and even though Xiaode Zi's bones had grown, he still couldn't achieve much.
"I've read a few secret manuals and practiced according to them, but I feel that something is wrong."”
"Oh? What's wrong?"
"This servant is dull! This servant read a book that said that to practice martial arts, one must first practice qi.”
"But I read another book that said that one must first train the body to practice martial arts.”
"This servant has flipped through several secret manuals and each has its own explanation.”
"Your Majesty, what should I practice first?”
This question stumped Gao Lingfeng.
Although he was already a Rank One expert, his martial arts attainments were limited.
Xiao Dezi's question was a question that pointed to the root of martial arts.
Gao Lingfeng couldn't answer, so he changed the topic and said,""Let's go to the royal study first!"
When they arrived at the royal study, Gao Lingfeng was about to make up some nonsense to dismiss Xiao Dezi.
Suddenly, he heard the other eunuchs report,"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Chief Assistant Lord Li and the two Second Assistant Lords had both submitted their resignation forms!”
Gao Lingfeng was furious!
These three old things! Using this trick to threaten me again!
However, as soon as the fire was ignited, Gao Lingfeng was ecstatic!
In the past, if he wanted to be a good emperor, he had to pinch his nose and persuade these three old things to come back.
Now that he was about to become a fatuous ruler, what was the point of persuading him!
Directly approved!
However, who would fill in their gaps?
Find another respectable person?
No, then how can I ruin the country's fate!
He had to find a treacherous official!
It's best if you're obedient and don't cause trouble for me every day.
You also have to be able to work. Otherwise, how can you be an incompetent ruler if you let me decide everything?
Was there such a minister?
Gao Lingfeng thought for a while and found a suitable candidate from his memory!
His father-in-law! Wasn't Empress Lin Wan 'er's father, the current Minister of Rites, Lin Jiancheng, such a person?
Lin Jiancheng was the top scholar during the late emperor's era!
To be able to get into the top scorer, he definitely had the ability!
However, Lin Jiancheng was different from other scholars. He especially liked to flatter others.
The late emperor did not like people like him, and Qingliu also ostracized him.
However, Lin Jiancheng had no problems with his work. He rose to the position of Minister of Rites step by step.
He liked to suck up, was capable, and was hated by Qingliu.
This was simply the most suitable candidate!
Moreover, he's my father-in-law!
Most importantly, Lin Jiancheng was a good name!
Lin Jiancheng! Traitor Lin!
A natural traitor!
He still had to ask about Lin Jiancheng's reputation.
Looking at Xiao Dezi, Gao Lingfeng asked,""Little Dezi, you're well-informed. How is Lin Jiancheng's official position?”
Lin Jiancheng? Wasn't this the Empress's father?
Xiao Dezi was sweating profusely.
The Empress had wanted to kill him time and time again!
Of course, Xiao Dezi would not speak up for the Empress 'father.
However, if he spoke ill of the country's father behind his back, the Empress would find out in the future.
Wouldn't he be dead for sure?
Countless thoughts appeared in Xiao Dezi's mind.
"Your Majesty, what does a eunuch like me know?!"”
"Just say it! Tell me the truth!"
Xiao Dezi thought for a long time and said,"Your Majesty! Everyone said that Lord Lin Jiancheng was a villain!”
Xiaode Zi thought, Anyway, the Empress has already been offended! If they all died, they might as well be blackened to the end! At worst, we can go and seek refuge with Concubine Hua!"
Gao Lingfeng was overjoyed when he heard Lord Lin's name.""Good! Decree! Agree to the resignation of the three cabinet scholars! The Minister of Rites, Lin Jian, was promoted to the position of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and would lead the Cabinet!”
What was that?
Xiao Dezi sat on the ground. Your Majesty, why didn't you play by the rules?
