It's nearly March, and spring is blooming. Young people from the families of officials and nobles in the capital were invited to go out for an outing in the city. Young friends such as Ge Xi, the grandson of Ge Shouli, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, also invited Gao Jingshi to go out with him. Gao Jingshi was told by Gao Jingshi that he "did not dare to leave the forbidden house lightly because of his responsibilities." "And declined.
It's true that Gao Pragmatic "didn't dare to leave the forbidden house lightly", but the reason is certainly not because of his responsibilities - it is not difficult for him to take a day or two off. The reason why he was not in the mood to go on an outing was because the situation had become increasingly tense recently.
The emperor's illness not only recurred from time to time, but also obviously worsened. He was often dizzy and unable to go to court. Even the "Ban Chun Encouraging Farmers", which usually required the emperor to personally take part, was handed over to the prince this year. It can be seen that the emperor's condition is getting worse. It is difficult to restrain.
Emperor Longqing was Gao Gong's biggest supporter. This was clear to everyone in the court, and Zhang Juzheng was even more knowledgeable. If he didn't make some noise at this time, he wouldn't be called Zhang Juzheng. Therefore, Gao Pragmatic really didn't dare "Easy to leave the forbidden house".
He must ensure that he keeps an eye on every move in the palace to avoid being careless and being taken advantage of.
Qi Jiguang's previous involvement in the case was finally suppressed by Zhang Juzheng. Although the facts of that case were clear and the evidence was conclusive, and other persons involved were also dealt with. Even the left minister of the Ministry of War, Gu Zhongxu, who acted as Minister of the Ministry of War, was put under house arrest and dismissed from his post in the capital pending investigation. However, because Gao Gong specially came to surround Sanqueyi , and asked the Ministry of War to investigate Qi Jiguang on its own, so Zhang Juzheng tried his best to connect up and down, and finally removed Qi Jiguang from the case on the grounds that Qi Jiguang was involved in the case for a reason, and it was an act of loving and cherishing talents. Finally, the Ministry of War Give him a "warning" and get rid of the problem.
Although Zhang Juzheng loved Qi Jiguang's talent, what he did was not just a matter of love. In fact, if Qi Jiguang is not pulled out, then Zhang Juzheng himself will be pulled out of the carrot and brought out of the mud - Qi Jiguang's involvement with him is too deep, and Zhang Juzheng's bottom is never clean.
As soon as this matter ended, Zhang Juzheng became restless. After thinking about it, he planned to test Gao Gong first to see if Gao Gong's momentum would be reduced after Long Qing became seriously ill.
At the end of February, Wang Wenhui, the imperial censor, summarized the four matters and summarized them as follows:
"The ministers who were appointed by the late emperor in the last years of our association were very courteous and quarrelsome. It started with one or two remarks when the officials saw that the discussions in the temple were slightly different, and then they sneaked under the radar, peeked into the direction and attacked what they were afraid of. As a result, they confused right and wrong and became confused. The Holy Ting harms the country as a whole. Continuing to carry on the previous shortcomings and instigating each other makes the righteous uneasy in their positions, fearing that the disasters of Song and Yuanyou will be seen again today, which is a collapse.
The ancestors' legislation was extremely precise, but if there are those who fail to implement it, it is illegal and will not be heard by the public. Today's official statement is more rapid and determined. The ministers often disobey the official's words, change the ancestral system lightly, accommodate themselves for a while, and only accept the change. When the disadvantages of the establishment of the law arose, it was discussed that the law should be restored to the old state. It is not appropriate for the government to be flexible, and the people cannot maintain unity, which is the result of chaos.
In ancient times, ministers who sat down and retreated would have said nothing. Therefore, we must cultivate integrity and preserve the country's integrity. Now, you may look at the past, guessing that it has no shape, follow the scene and sound, and compete to criticize each other, just like the bustle in the market. As for the important ministers, even if they are not very treacherous, it is better to abandon short records and long records to cherish talents. Today, you may search for small flaws, point them out as big beetles, and make extremely ugly remarks to lure them away. By asking for help, will the country be able to use all talents? It is harsh.
The speaking officer can judge the master and correct the ministers. As for the shortcomings of officials, who is the one to point it out? Now, some of the remarks made about people are inappropriate, and the ministers will be angry if they don't reply. Even though they know clearly that they are wrong, they will not argue with them, thinking that their appearance should be like this. My husband and his subjects are not willing to accept a single word, so why should they blame your father? It’s about winning.
These four evils must be avoided today. However, it must be lost before the ministers can learn from it. Do not use hope to refer to the person who caused trouble. It is hoped that those who cause trouble will advance, and those who are loyal, honest, and forgiving will stay far away, while those who praise success and reputation will come forward. If a minister is allowed to act arbitrarily, there will be mistakes. Who will hear about it? The position of prime minister should not be based on saving time, but should be based on the heart. I hope that Your Majesty will give clear instructions to both China and foreign countries, eliminate selfishness among friends, and restore the custom of honesty and honesty, so that the world will be blessed. "
This memorial does not name anyone, but the four things mentioned in it: falling, changing, being harsh, and seeking victory are obviously directed at Gao Gong.
To say that they were defeated was to secretly place the careers of Chen Yiqin, Zhao Zhenji, Li Chunfang, Yin Shidan, and even Xu Jie on Gao Gong's head regardless of the reason, implying that Gao Gong had succumbed to his colleagues. As for Xu Jie, he clearly approved his appointment because the emperor had exhausted his patience with him. Chen Yiqin clearly refused to stand in line and took the initiative to resign. Li Chunfang clearly resigned because he was impeached for personal gain and was disheartened by Gao Gong's political achievements. Ci and Yin Shidan were obviously caught and scolded by others for relying on Zhongzhi to enter the cabinet. As a result, Chen Hong turned around and sold him by mistake, so he was approved by the emperor to become an official...Wang Wenhui didn't look at any of these reasons, and just said: Your high arch overwhelms your colleagues.
In fact, the only one who can be regarded as a political dispute is Zhao Zhenji. The dispute between Zhao Zhenji and Gao Gong seems to be a power struggle between the two, but it is actually a battle over governing ideas.
Zhao Zhenji, like Xu Jie, was only pragmatic in politics. He had more than enough talk but no actual actions. This point can be seen by looking at the restructuring of his Beijing camp. Six managers, three military ministers, and three civil servants were divided into one Beijing camp, and they were sent to many departments. Nothing could be done. The organizational structure of the Beijing camp was almost paralyzed. From the emperor to the officials, from the officials to the soldiers, everyone was dissatisfied, and finally had to change it again.
Moreover, Zhao Zhenji stepped down mainly because he lost his temper and insisted on coercing the emperor to resign. You must know that coercing the emperor by resigning is actually the last resort of the co-minister. It is equivalent to saying to the emperor: You can either listen to me or let me Walk.
But for Emperor Longqing at that time, this multiple-choice question was actually easy to answer, because there were only two options in the question, Gao Gong or Zhao Zhenji?
Long Qing said decisively: There is no need to choose, Mr. Zhao Ge, please go.
Therefore, if the governing philosophy is just different, in fact, Zhao Zhenji will not step down. He will step down entirely because his self-confidence is too inflated and he commits suicide.
But Wang Wenhui never mentioned any of these things, and all the shit basins were handed over to Gao Gong.
To say Fen Geng refers to Gao Gong's promotion of reform. Gao Gong's promotion of reform was not like the so-called "Zhang Juzheng Reform" later. As long as he patted his head and settled down, he would go all the way to the dark side. Gao Gong's habit is to pilot or trial the product first, and then decide whether to "make it a regulation" or "suspend its implementation" after looking at the actual performance.
This is obviously a very pragmatic policy for governing, equivalent to "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth." But the reason why trolls are trolls is that they are not here to reason with you at all.
The purpose of trolling is very simple, just for the sake of trolling: I don’t care what your reasons are, and I don’t care whether you have implemented ninety-nine out of a hundred reforms smoothly. Anyway, you have one reform measure that was ordered yesterday and today If you cancel it, then you are just "Fan Geng" and just messing around! I'm going to spray you!
Speaking of harsh, this one is even more amazing. He was referring to the fact that Gao Gong was too harsh in dealing with corrupt and mediocre officials by demoting and holding them accountable. But the fact is that Gao Gong divided the most common crimes committed by officials into categories, and the method of dealing with whichever crime you committed was completely rule-based and law-based. It was much better than the previous method of depending on the mood of ministers or the emperor. The way to deal with it is much fairer and more just, so why is this harsh?
Oh, it is not easy to train a cadre in an organization, so if a cadre commits a crime, it cannot be dealt with?
I really don’t know who is messing around.
Finally, when it comes to seeking victory, this point does not mean Gao Gong, but points the finger at Yan Guan. The general idea is that Yan Guan supervises the emperor at the top and supervises the ministers at the bottom. But who supervises the Yan Guan?
This is also a problem, but Wang Wenhui suddenly made such a move here. In fact, it is not a brain attack to expand the scope of the attack. It is because there is no one to supervise this matter. It is not something that happened today, and it is not something that anyone said today. Daming For two hundred years, many people have been discussing and writing about this.
Wang Wenhui's visit here is actually just a false shot to cover up his true purpose.
But obviously, it is impossible to deceive Lao Jianghu with this method.
Anyway, not even Gao Jingshi could be deceived. When Gao Jingshi saw this sparse article, he directly ignored the fourth item and focused all his attention on the first three items.
But after careful analysis, Gao Jingshi understood that this memorial was not a fatal poisonous arrow, it was just Zhang Juzheng trying to scare the snake - he wanted to see the reaction of the emperor and Gao Gong before considering what move to make next. .
The only question is why Wang Wenhui helped Zhang Juzheng.
Wang Wenhui was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing reign, Gao Gong was his seat master, and Zhang Juzheng was his room master. Logically speaking, he could either vote for Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, but now Gao Gong is the first assistant. Generally speaking, wouldn't it be more promising to vote for Gao Gong?
Taking a closer look, Gao Pragmatic discovered something very interesting: Wang Wenhui is from Wuyuan.
Wuyuan belongs to Huizhou.
Now Gao Pragmatic understood: when the Huizhou people's ding silk silk tax case was closed, She County got rid of part of the people's ding silk silk tax that had been paid in vain for two hundred years, while Wuyuan shared a share "out of thin air".
The bustle in the world is all for the benefit of coming; the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the benefit of the future.
The ancients never deceived me.
At this time, the emperor was ill, and he had no energy to read such memorials without naming names. Foreign court affairs had been completely handed over to Gao Gong, and the ceremonial supervisor just approved them as usual.
With Gao Gong's temper, he was always rude to such trolls, even if the other party was nominally his disciple, but since he chose to listen to Zhang Juzheng's instigation, there was no need to be merciful.
So in just three days, the cabinet's measures came down: Wang Wenhui was transferred to Ningxia as a minister, repaired the garrison, collected grain, built sluices, and gradually returned from exile.
If you like oral pleasure so much, then I will ask you to do something practical and stop standing and talking all day long without pain in your back. Now Ningxia needs someone to manage farmland water conservancy. Since you are so talented, go and benefit that area.
