Liu Xian's anger was palpable, but Gao Pragmatic's face was still relatively calm. It's not that he is so cold-blooded, but that the military system of the Ming Dynasty has actually deteriorated since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The guard system is now almost reaching the point of terminal illness. This is not a problem unique to Liu Xian's men or the guards near Nanjing, but A nationwide problem. Isn't it that the reason why Beijing Camp is constantly undergoing restructuring and adjustments is because the military system is rotten from the root, so no matter how it is reformed, it just changes the soup without changing the medicine, and cannot produce any good "curative effects"?
But regarding this matter, Gao Pragmatic had to think carefully about whether he should help Liu Xian.
If he didn't help, he would be considered a favor to him today. Even if it happened because of their father and son, and even his motive was hard to say innocent, but for a person who tried to take the civil service path into politics, For his part, Gao Pragmatic is not willing to let himself be even remotely associated with the derogatory term "not repaying kindness".
But if you want to help, how? Should we just help Liu Xian settle this matter, or should we intensify our efforts to suppress, clean up, and adjust the Nanjing officialdom to a certain extent—at least the general level of the Nanjing officialdom? Or even just stop doing it and take the opportunity to promote adjustments or improvements to the health center system across the country?
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and felt that it was better not to consider improving the health center system nationwide right now. Gao Gong had mentioned to him before he came out that his third uncle had many big things to do at the moment, and he had to promote it. Reforming the National Health Institute is an issue that involves too wide a scope and involves too many interests. Even if San Bo has the intention, he currently does not have the strength. The time is not yet ripe and I am too impatient to eat hot tofu, so I'd better take it slow first.
What about the general level in Nanjing? Well, this is not a bad idea. Most of the honorable ministers who stayed in Nanjing were from the "founding family", usually headed by the Xu family, Duke of Wei. Xu Da, the ancestor of the Xu family, was certainly a hero. Anyone who knew the Ming Dynasty would hardly admire Xu Da.
However, in the current Ming Dynasty, after two hundred years of pig-raising style, the Xu family has no descendants who are "able to fight". It has completely turned into a parasite attached to the Ming Dynasty's body, knocking bones and sucking marrow. According to the high pragmatic Reform concept, even if this kind of family is inconvenient to eradicate due to historical reasons, it must be redirected and improved.
The current Nanjing garrison minister is Wei Guogong Xu Pengju. Gao pragmatically knows something about this person. He is the seventh grandson of Xu Da, King of Wuning, Zhongshan. His grandfather Xu Er died in July of the twelfth year of Zhengde, and his father Xu Kuibi died early. Xu Pengju inherited the Dukedom of Wei from his grandfather Xu Yan in November of the 13th year of Zhengde. In the 16th year of Zhengde's reign, he guarded Nanjing and took charge of the affairs of the Central Military Governor's Office. In August of the fourth year of Jiajing's reign, the crown prince Taibao was added to command the Central Military Command. Since April of the 17th year of Jiajing's reign, he has been serving as a garrison officer in Nanjing to this day.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of history is probably familiar with the word "Pengju": Yue Fei, also known as Pengju.
After all, the Xu family is also a family at the top of the martial arts hierarchy. Even Yue Fei doesn't know about it. So why is Xu Pengju's father so ignorant that he dares to name his son Pengju?
There is a legend about this matter, saying that Xu Pengju's father, Xu Kuibi, dreamed one day that Prince Yue said to him, "I have had a hard life and was trapped by powerful traitors. In this life, I will join your family and enjoy decades of peace and wealth." It didn't take long. , Xu Kuibi's son was born. Perhaps that dream suddenly came to Xu Kuibi's mind. Without hesitation, he named his son Pengju.
According to the original history, Xu Pengju "lived the country for fifty-seven years, served several times as the governor and the garrison of Nanjing, and received great honors." It seems that Prince Yue's wish to enjoy happiness has been achieved.
However, there is another legend circulating in Nanjing.
It is said that a few years ago, Xu Pengju was building a garden on the outskirts of Nanjing. After clearing away the vegetation, he found a bulge that looked like an ancient tomb. Xu Pengju was very unhappy and ordered people to bulldoze it. Someone around him said to him: Mr. Guo, this is not good. Maybe it's someone else's ancestral grave? How about we make a notice and see if anyone comes to move us, and then we can worry about it later?
It was okay if Xu Pengju didn't listen, but he became even more angry when he heard it. The Duke of Wei wants to build a garden, so who cares about whose ancestral graves I have? Come on, hurry up and dig it out for me!
This digging really turned out a big grave. Someone came again and said, "Master, this is not a good thing. Let's fill it out."
Xu Pengju "was furious again. He scratched it, and then Song Dynasty Prime Minister Qin Zhong dedicated his tomb. He was overjoyed to see it, cut open his coffin, and threw the body into the water."
It turns out that this is the tomb of Qin Hui, the great traitor of the Song Dynasty! Needless to say, opening the coffin and discarding the bones is what I, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, must do!
If the matter ends here, then this matter is really legendary: this is completely the reincarnation of King Yue to take revenge!
As the saying goes, "Qi Xianggong restored the vengeance of the ninth generation, and the Spring and Autumn Period was great." Xu Pengju, the reincarnation of Yue Wumu, can definitely use this to create a legend.
Isn’t it amazing, simply breathtaking? Before he was born, his father dreamed of Yue Fei; when he grew up, he dug Qin Hui's grave himself.
Oops, it’s like Yue Wumu was reborn!
But wait... there's a story yet to be told.
"When he was on the defensive, there was a mutiny in the Zhenwu Camp. He was called a straw bag by the chaotic soldiers and walked away in confusion, completely without the style of a famous general."
This means that when he, a distinguished garrison minister in Nanjing, encountered the mutiny in Zhenwu Camp, the rebels did not take the reincarnated Yue Fei seriously and loudly mocked the Duke of Wei as a idiot. And Wei Guogong did not disappoint the rebels, fully demonstrating his idiot style - escaping in embarrassment.
Together with the rebel soldiers, the dignified descendants of Xu Da and the honorable garrison ministers of Nanjing were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Well, this is really the style of a nameless general!
It stands to reason that his ancestor was a famous general, and his previous life was also a famous general... Regardless of his family background, or his "influence between heaven and man", he should be heroic and extraordinary, so why did he become a idiot?
If he is really the reincarnation of Yue Fei, shouldn't such an awesome person be like Huo Qubing, who entered the camp alone and suppressed the rebels as soon as his power was revealed?
It's very simple to put it bluntly. During the Chenghua period, Qin Hui's tomb was robbed. It is said that countless wealth was dug up at that time... Since it had been stolen long ago, how could it be dug out again?
Obviously, Xu Pengju's legends were just to create momentum for himself. In fact, this method of building momentum is not bad in this era, but unfortunately, mud cannot hold up the wall after all.
Since Xu Pengju had nothing special about him, Gao Qingshi felt that it was not a big problem to move him a little. What's more, Gao Pingshi dared to think of an idea to touch this dignified Wei Guogong and Nanjing garrison minister. Apart from the fact that this guy is a waste, there are two reasons.
