After Wanli succeeded to the throne, Gao Gong was ordered by the queen, the imperial concubine and the king in the name of * * * *, and his position as minister of trusteeship was cut off.

It is clearly recorded in A Record of Ming Shenzong that imperial officials such as the imperial edict of the queen, the imperial concubine, the imperial edict and the Cabinet Office all said that the East Palace was young and asked him to assist it. Today, there is a high-arch scholar who is authoritarian and good at politics. He usurped all the imperial courts in Fu Wei and banned the emperor from taking power. I wonder what he wants. I have three people, a mother and a son, and I feel scared and uneasy. Gao Gong then went back to his hometown to hang around and was not allowed to stay overnight.

The meaning is clear. It is said that the imperial court is not thin to you, and the high arch does not know how to repay you, but it takes away the rights of the king, which makes us orphans and widows very afraid. Therefore, we must take measures to protect ourselves and let Gao Gong go back to his original place to stay idle and stop being employed. In this way, Gao Gong was dismissed, and there was nowhere to redress. All the supreme rulers want to step down, so they have to obey and return to their hometown.

This event was the first important event in the imperial court after Wanli ascended the throne, and the high arch also broke a historical record. He may be the fastest minister dismissed by the new emperor since records began.

The recall of Gao Gong for no reason is actually more of a power struggle within the imperial court, and Gao Gong is only a victim. After all, people at that time believed in the king, and the king's judgment was very accurate.
