Gao pragmatically said, "The reason why this matter involves the Queen Mother is actually quite unexpected. As a rule, the Third Princess and the Fourth Princess should not leave the palace at a time like today, but the Queen Mother is about to live a long life, and that Buddhist temple It was donated by the Queen Mother, who hoped that the temple could be completed before the Wanshou Festival."
He then conveyed the inside story that Zhu Yijun told him to Guo Pu, but did not mention the attitudes of the Queen Mother and the Emperor first.
After hearing this, Guo Pu's expression did not change much, and he said calmly, "It is indeed against the regulations for the princess to leave the palace, but since she is running for the Queen Mother's longevity, it does not hinder her filial piety."
Gao pragmatically said, "But the Queen Mother does not want the princess's leaving the palace to be publicized too much."
Guo Pu frowned and said, "The Jing army went out and captured more than 200 servants of the Minister of War who had not yet arrived. How can we do this without spreading too much news? The people of the capital have always liked to watch the excitement and gossip a lot. Now it has been I don’t know how widespread it has become, but I guess all kinds of ridiculous and weird words have flooded the streets.”
Gao pragmatic sighed slightly and said, "So I have to find a way to lead things in another direction."
"The other direction?" Guo Pu's eyes focused on "Which direction, party struggle?"
Gao pragmatic did not answer directly, but frowned slightly and asked, "Ling Benbing was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. I don't know whose student he is."
Guo Pu said with a deadpan expression, "The examiner of that session was Xu Huating, and Ling Yunyi's textbook was the Book of Rites, so his examiners were Chen Nanchong and Wu Xiaofeng."
Gao Pragmatic immediately understood that Ling Yunyi was from a good background. Zhang Juzheng, Yin Shidan, Wang Daokun, Hu Zhengmeng, and 6n were all in the same year as him and came from the same house.
Let’s not talk about Zhang Juzheng and Yin Shidan. Official Zhongge Lao
Wang Daokun was the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War. He was a famous anti-Japanese minister, a literary giant, a master of dramas, and it is said that he may also be the author of Jin Ping Mei.
Hu Zhengmeng was the top prize in that year. He served as Zuo Yude in Zuochunfang of Zhan Shifu and served as bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He and Gao Gong presided over the 44th Jiajing Examination. Unfortunately, he died early.
6n is a typical Xu Party member. When Hai Rui was appointed governor of Yingtian, Xu Jie suffered terribly. 6n thought it was Gao Gong who instigated him, and even went to Shu to impeach Hai Rui. He mentioned Gao Gong in passing and made fierce remarks.
However, he had a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng. Gao Gong considered Zhang Juzheng's face at that time and did not do anything to him. After Guo Pu took over as assistant, he saw that 6n acted in a low-key manner, so he did not touch him and instead gave him a normal promotion. Now he is a worker. I am the right minister.
Seeing that Gao Pragmatic was silent, Guo Pu added to him, "In addition, although Ling Yunyi and Yin Zhengmao did not live in the same room, they were born in the same year, and I heard that they are closely related. When Yin Zhengmao became an official last year, he highly recommended Ling Yunyi. This is also the reason why Ling Yunyi can serve as our own soldier this time."
Gao Pangshi's heart moved. He knew that Guo Pu's addition was not just to introduce Ling Yunyi's "another friend". In fact, this sentence meant that among the people left by Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng's group, Ling Yun Yi is one of the very important figures. In other words, Ling Yunyi is one of the big bosses left by Xu Dang and Zhang Dang.
In other words, he is one of the few giants among the Chao Zhong School disciples.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but curl his lips. It was really related to the party struggle. No wonder the teacher asked this just now.
There is no party outside the party, there are no factions in the imperial ideology, and there are all kinds of strange things. Although Gao Dang currently occupies an advantage in the government, it is not that there is no room for other schools of thought to survive outside Gao Dang, which is based on practical learning. Xinxue still has a large market and fans.
At the same time, within the Gao Party, they are not monolithic. Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei also have their own supporters. Even Gao Pragmatic, if we have to put it aside, has his own supporters. Is he carrying the mantle of the Xinzheng Gao family? Those who inherit the banner, even regardless of Guo Pu's line or Zhang Siwei's line, will more or less be high-minded and pragmatic.
Of course, having said that, it is just to sell some face. As long as he fails to pass the Jinshi exam for a day, this face can only be regarded as the shadow of Gao Gong.
Since it involves party struggle, Gao Pragmatic couldn't answer casually and thought about it carefully.
Guo Pu didn't urge him, let alone ask questions, and actually started to close his eyes to rest.
I don't know how long it took before Gao Pingshi finally spoke slowly, "Teacher, I want to force Ling Yunyi back."
Guo Pu opened his eyes calmly, not particularly surprised. He just looked at Gao Pragmatic and asked "the reason"
Gao Pragmatic said coldly, "The dispute between practical learning and spiritual learning is ultimately a battle over national policies. And the direction of national policies, whether it is pragmatic or unrealistic, whether it is self-improvement and man's determination to conquer nature, or whether it is mediocrity and misfortunes and blessings are determined by nature, are all determined by this."
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Guo Pu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "If you want to start a party struggle, you know that the DPRK is no longer what it was when Su Qing was there."
When he said this, he sighed slightly, "I am nearly 70 years old. As a rule, I only have one or two years left in the court. Even if I am willing to go out and support you with all my strength, I may not be able to achieve this." Instead, it may cause more trouble.”
Gao Pragmatic shook his head slightly and said, "The students didn't say that they wanted to completely eradicate the Xinxue. That's impossible. They didn't even say to what extent they wanted to suppress the Chao Zhongxue faction. This is just killing the monkey to scare the chicken."
"Kill the monkey to scare the chicken." Guo Pu's eyelids drooped, "Ling Yunyi is that monkey and so chicken."
"Anyone who violates the exam law is a chicken, and everyone should see how this monkey died." Gao pragmatically said coldly, "The New Deal has been implemented for a long time, and although some results have been achieved, it is not enough. The Jiangnan area is still Mainly land tax, very little commercial tax is paid. Some prefectures and counties used to pay twenty-five taels of commercial tax a year, but now they have finally paid twenty-five taels in five years. According to the examination method, they are indeed Commercial tax has been added, but does this data make sense? Even if there are 100 prefectures, how much has it actually been increased?"
"The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time." Guo Pu shook his head slightly. "There are many things in this dynasty. It depends not only on the data, but also on whether a routine has been formed. As long as a routine is formed, the general direction will be determined. For example, as you just said, there are 100 prefectures, and now each prefecture has added 5 taels of commercial tax, which means an increase of 500 taels a year."
Guo Pu sighed, "Five hundred taels is of course an inconsequential small number, but as long as the practice of the examination method is formed, then they will have to continue to increase every year on the basis of the previous year, and the little will become more, and the sand will become a tower. If you can rule the world in ten years, then you will be able to take a look at the business tax."
Gao pragmatically is only seventeen years old this year, and will not be forty years old in twenty years. Being able to rule the world at that age is already very impressive in Guo Pu's opinion.
But Gao Pragmatic seemed too lazy to consider this and still insisted, "Ling Yunyi must leave."
Guo Pu narrowed his eyes and said, "You must exercise authority here."
