In fact, whether it is cost-effective depends on who it is for. It is like an ordinary person in the future spending one million to buy himself a happy day. It is naturally not cost-effective. But if this person were Jack Ma, it might be a good deal.
From Tu Menggui's point of view, he is actually not afraid of the noble military minister. With his status as an official, he was not at all afraid of people at the pinnacle of their honours, such as Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, and Zhang Rong, the British Duke. Not to mention anything else, he said that if the other party dared to show off to him, he would He even dared to spray on the spot.
Speaking of which, the noble military ministers have really been bullied by civil servants in recent years. As an official, he has the duty to supervise officials. Of course, he is not afraid of a certain noble military minister or a certain family. However, that only refers to when dealing with a certain person or a certain family. If he really offends the entire noble military ministers collectively, then it is not something he, a seventh-grade official, can afford to offend. I am writing this letter jointly to redress my grievances and beg Your Majesty to seek justice. Not to mention that he is just a culprit, even if he is a minister, it is enough.
Will the change of Prime Minister Jingying Rongzheng from military ministers to civilian ministers offend the entire military ministers and nobles? It's hard to say, because the restructuring of the Beijing camp happens every now and then, and it's not always possible to change it, and Zhu Xizhong and Zhang Rong have already expressed their support for it as soon as possible. Not only did the two of them express their stance, they also united with a large group of military ministers to file a petition and gave a lot of reasons. The meaning expressed was simple: the civil military prime minister's military administration in Beijing is better than the military minister's military administration in Beijing. More than a hundred times.
But taking a stand does that mean they have no opinion?
No joke, unless their brains are completely broken!
But why do they still tolerate it? Because whether the prime minister and military ministers are civil servants or military ministers will definitely affect their certain interests, but it will not touch their Achilles heel. After all, no matter you divide it into three battalions, five battalions, or 12 regiments, anyway, the troops are being unified. The one must be a military minister - that's no problem, because the soldiers' blood can still be drunk. At most, they can redistribute it internally, which they can handle. As for the fact that there is theoretically an additional direct superior on the top of your head, that is not worth mentioning at all: Do you think that because you are the Prime Minister and the military affairs of the Beijing camp, you can really control the Beijing camp? Innocent! All the military households in the Beijing Camp are under the names of various distinguished military ministers. You, the Prime Minister, don’t even have a military household in the name of the Rongzheng in the Beijing Camp. Are you a big-headed Prime Minister? They have 10,000 ways to make you talk and control for free!
But no matter what, Wuchen Xungui Group will never be happy about this situation. It's great that they feel there is no need to go against the civilian group for this trivial matter.
However, if this matter is actually done, their impression of Zhao Zhenji will only get worse. This is definitely true. Of course they can't be dragged out to fight now, but in the face of this kind of system change that changes the soup without changing the medicine, they will definitely not be able to escape. If they can find the right opportunity to give Zhao Zhenji a break, they will never be soft. .
Therefore, by doing this, Zhao Zhenji can really only gain a good reputation - in terms of the civil service group. And from a practical point of view, this kind of good name really doesn't mean much.
Gao pragmatic then said: "Judging from the current situation in the cabinet and Mr. Zhao Ge's usual behavior, I thought he would not take the nobles' opinions of him to heart."
As soon as these words came out, the nine Gao Gong disciples had to look at him differently: This little guy not only knows the situation of the cabinet, but can also analyze Zhao Zhenji's attitude in dealing with things based on his character? It seems that it really shouldn’t be underestimated.
In the current cabinet, the Chief Assistant Li Chunfang has always been a good old man with little courage, and he knows that his status in the eyes of the emperor cannot be compared with that of Gao Gong, and they cannot even compare with their seniority. Basically, when discussing cabinet affairs, he only looks at who has the loudest voice. No matter who he listens to, the officials hardly take the chief assistant seriously. Now he even thinks that the chief assistant is boring.
Of course, Chen Yiqin knew that he was not comparable to Gao Gong, but he had a more assertive position than Li Chunfang. He still had an attitude about the things that were his responsibility. He was in a situation where I was in charge of my own three-quarters of an acre of land and no one would offend me. I am not a criminal. And Gao Gongnian was quite polite to him because they were both colleagues of Yu Di.
Zhang Juzheng has a relatively obvious biased attitude. At least he seems to be basically on Gao Gong's side. Of course, this does not rule out that he and Gao Gong have similar political ideas, so it is easy for them to get together. He had the intention of building a plank road to cross Chencang secretly. In short, Zhang Juzheng's attitude is taken for granted by Gao Gong, but it is extremely necessary to be vigilant in Gao Pragmatic's view.
Gao Gong's mentality is easy to understand. He and Zhang Juzheng were in the Imperial Academy together at the beginning, and later in Taixue, and then joined the cabinet together as prime ministers. , if one and inseparable, they are completely like-minded friends or even allies.
This is of course also a fact. When Gao Gong entered the Hanlin Academy, he wrote "Reporting the Imperial Order to Study in the Hanlin Academy". The poem said: "It is better to be advanced in skills than to be good in cultivation"; "The ancient principles are all here, so don't go to Danhan in vain." He disdained the study of poetry techniques and imitated ancient doctrines. Instead, he wanted to study national laws and regulations and improve his ability to conduct political affairs. He also pointed out that the prime minister came from the Imperial Academy, and his responsibilities were not only to "prepare questions and discuss government affairs," but also He has the important responsibility of "supporting morality and government, and bringing peace to the world".
When Zhang Juzheng was in Hanlin, his purpose was also to study national regulations and study current affairs and politics. At that time, "Jinshi scholars mostly talked about poetry and ancient prose, and they were inspired by Xijing and Kaiyuan. However, they were disdainful of them. I was in agreement with many people who were silently searching for national allusions and political affairs."
When Gao and Zhang were in the Imperial College, Gao Gong served as a sacrificial wine, and Zhang Juzheng served as a secretary. Zhang Juzheng "alone was kind to Gao Gong as a sacrificial wine, and looked forward to each other's careers." Zhang Juzheng once said: "Recovering the past, looking forward to Xiao Cao and Bing Wei." Gao Gong also wrote "Review of Xiao Cao, Wei Bing and Wei" for this purpose. Their main purpose is to follow the example of the famous prime ministers of the Western Han Dynasty, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Wei Xiang, and Bingji, and work together to revitalize the government. This shows that they share the same political aspirations.
Shen Li, who is here today and who was a bachelor in the Wanli period in the original history, also said: "The Duke (Zhang Juzheng) and Xinzheng were both in the government at the same time. At the beginning, they planned to cut off the mutual funds, and the heroes claimed to be themselves, namely Bing, Wei, Fang, Du, you are not willing to make any concessions."
After Gao Gong was dismissed from office, he also said when recalling their experience of working together: "When Jingren was an editor, he was young and smart, and he studied diligently. He learned a lot from his words and loved him. He paid special tribute to me and treated him with great respect. A day is spent between teachers and friends, where we talk about principles and principles, discuss governance, and get carried away. I have made an appointment with each other, but I can only use it one day, and I should work together as a king and father to formulate the principles."
Also after Gao Gong was dismissed from office, Zhang Juzheng had taken sole control of power, but he also repeatedly mentioned that they were an "incense alliance" and "life and death friends."
Although Gao Gong's words sounded like he was an old-timer, Zhang Juzheng did respect Gao Gong every time he was mentioned in his letters, and this was the case even after their relationship broke down. In fact, Gao Gong is thirteen years older than Zhang Juzheng. When they first were in the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Juzheng was only a young man in his twenties, while Gao Gong was already in his thirties or forties. To say that it is 'between teachers and friends', or to say that 'you have gained so much knowledge and knowledge by having a close relationship with Xuan Lao' is probably not just a polite statement. It can be seen from this that before Gao and Zhang became political enemies, they were indeed like-minded academic partners, with their political ambitions and mentor-friend relationship.
Therefore, Gao Gong doesn't think there is anything wrong with Zhang Juzheng, and his mentality is also a problem for Gao Pragmatic at the moment.
Because Gao pragmatic knew history and knew Zhang Juzheng's secret method of killing Gao Gong - of course, the secret death did not mean killing him, but just ending his political life.
Political struggles cannot be easily resolved through personal friendship. What's more, is a figure like Zhang Juzheng really willing to always succumb to high status? There is a saying that goes well, "How can there be brightness when there is beauty"!
Of course, at least for now they are clearly allies.
After such calculations, the only person in the cabinet who is really in a high position as an enemy is Zhao Zhenji.
Just when Gao Jingshi was thinking about the connection in his mind, Han Ji spoke: "The student agrees with the first possibility that the younger brother said that Zhao Ge is alienated. His move is indeed a sign of goodwill to the civil servants in Beijing. As for Brother Yuehua (Wu Feng’s note: Tu Menggui exited the stage of history prematurely in real history, and his cousin’s name cannot be found, his name here is made up based on the word “Gui”, there is no need to be more truthful.), the students also thought that What the junior brother just said makes sense... It's not that Mr. Zhao Ge cannot distinguish the pros and cons, but he is not worried about what the noble military ministers can do to him. But the student should add one point: Mr. Zhao Ge uses this to show his kindness to the civil servants, which is probably right. A kind of temptation from the teacher."
"Testing?" Song Zhihan pondered for a moment and then said: "Teacher, the student also thinks that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but the student always feels that there is another possibility: Could it be that Xu Huating was disturbed by Haigang Peak in Songjiang? He couldn't stand it, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which Mr. Zhao Ge was currently in charge of, had been too domineering some time ago, so Xu Huating instructed Mr. Zhao Ge to ease the relationship with the civil servants in Beijing, and then make it easier for his disciples and former officials in Beijing. Stand up and share the pressure for him?"
After he said this, Gao Gong laughed: "I think Yuan Qing's words are on point." He paused slightly and showed a strange smile: "Today, our department received a letter from Xu Huating. A handwritten letter with sincere words...begging me to let him go."
