When will I die? Do you have inside information on this kind of thing? My Majesty, you are quite powerful. What are you doing?
It turned out that Zhu Yijun was driving "Ren Gua". He smiled and said: "Zhongjin Hatun and Bahan Naji both seem to be loyal and obedient ministers. Every move I made in Dazhao Temple, let alone what he eats every day." I know exactly how many things he has eaten, and I can even tell how mature the mutton soup he ate for lunch is... Tell me, how long can he live, can I not know?"
Wow, you are so awesome. Do you want to set up two tables at the entrance of the village?
Gao pragmatic laughed and said: "It seems that the tribute issue was really done beautifully back then."
"That's right!" Zhu Yijun said proudly, "Speaking of which, the two of us also made great contributions to this matter."
This is true. It goes without saying that Gao Jingshi's contribution is obvious. Although Zhu Yijun was still a young prince at the time, Gao Jingshi was appointed as the imperial envoy to Datong in the name of the prince's decree. Without his support, how could he have done it? At that time, two little guys who were less than ten years old were actually able to contribute to such a major event as my answer to the tribute. Zhu Yijun felt quite proud every time he thought about it.
This is a sense of accomplishment that you will never experience after becoming an emperor.
So Gao Jingshi laughed cooperatively, and Zhu Yijun also laughed. For a time, the distance between the monarch and his ministers became much closer.
Speaking of which, except for his high pragmatism, who would laugh in front of the emperor and not be afraid of "disloyalty before the emperor"?
At this time, Gao Pragmatic understood the reason why Zhu Yijun clearly noticed that something was wrong with Li Chengliang's performance, but still refused to touch him.
This reason is not single, but related to each other. Generally speaking, Zhu Yijun feels that there are more important things to do now, and it is not cost-effective to move Li Chengliang now, because he may lose a big deal for a small amount.
As an emperor, especially an emperor taught by Long Qing, it is impossible for Zhu Yijun to be a person who "cannot rub the sand out of his eyes". Such a person cannot be an emperor well - all ministers in the world have their own thoughts. Do they have other thoughts? You don't need it anymore?
At the beginning, Long Qing taught him that even Mr. Gao had selfish motives. As an emperor, what he really had to deal with was to weigh the pros and cons and always keep the situation under his control.
As long as you weigh the pros and cons and ensure that the situation does not get out of control, you can - or even must - turn a blind eye to many things. Otherwise, you will not be needed, and neither will that person. When the time comes, no one will be available. What to be an emperor?
Long Qing's teachings to Zhu Yijun back then had already made him realize a truth: no one is perfect, and no one is perfect. The key to being an emperor is to put the right person in the right position, rather than focusing on his shortcomings. And what he was thinking.
Li Chengliang has a problem, but doesn't he have the ability to settle accounts after the fall? Since there is, why not use it first? Anyway, there is no one more suitable than him who can replace him now.
As the saying goes, "Politics is about compromise," this is a kind of compromise.
The emperor has grown up...
Gao Pragmatic is actually more pleased, because although he has always been a "reading companion", he actually acted as half a teacher. Now that he is watching Zhu Yijun mature little by little, he will inevitably feel a little emotional.
Oh, but he will really "become a teacher" soon, because the Japanese lecturer is also a teacher himself.
In Zhu Yijun's meeting with Gao Pragmatic this time, he did not clearly say how he was going to be used. Judging from his tone, he probably wanted to wait for An Da to die first and then see the situation before making a decision.
This is in line with the current situation, but what Gao pragmatic can't understand is that for the current court, taking down Li Chengliang is just a matter of one sentence. But Zhu Yijun just said that Gao pragmatic came back, and he had some ideas. .
This is a bit strange. Li Chengliang is a military general and the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. What does it have to do with him whether I come back or not? It is impossible for me to be the commander-in-chief of Liaodong.
Although the commander-in-chief of Liaodong is much more powerful than himself, a fifth-grade idle official, in terms of rank, it is now the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. Let alone a mere commander-in-chief of Liaodong, even if there are two twins in northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty - Ji Liao The general soldiers are tied together, and they are far less valuable in the government and the public than he is, a high-ranking and pragmatic fifth-grade idle official.
Hanlin nobles, gods in the sky, the civil servants at this time were so confident.
As soon as Gao Yongshi left the Wenhua Hall, someone from Xiaohuangmen immediately came to see him, congratulated him politely, and then said: "Servant Gao, Yuan Fu invites you."
Shizhong is the honorific title given to the concubines on the left and right at this time. However, this needs to be explained. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the minister often became the de facto prime minister. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, this position was continued and was abolished after the Yuan Dynasty. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Shizhong was the chief of the province under his command. He was ranked alongside Zhongshu Ling and Shangshu Ling. He had an extremely high status and great power, and could refute the emperor's imperial decree.
Even the format of the imperial edicts of the Tang Dynasty was not the "Ming style" often seen in later TV series. The two characters at the beginning of the imperial edicts of the Tang Dynasty were "Menxia", which meant that the imperial edict was approved by the Menxia Province and had legal effect. ——In other words, without the approval of the provincial government, this imperial edict is the so-called "central edict" and has no legal effect in the Tang Dynasty. People below can resist the edict and disobey it.
But why is Gao Jingshi, the Zuo Shuzi, called Shizhong? Isn't it too far off?
There is a real reason for this matter. The position of Shizhong was first established in the Qin Dynasty. At that time, it was just an official position from a prince to a doctor. There was no fixed number of people. It was the history of the prime minister. He came to the east chamber to report things, so he was called Shizhong. During the Han Dynasty, it was one of the additional official positions in addition to the regular official positions.
Because he served the emperor, went in and out of the palace, and heard about the government affairs, he gradually became a trusted and valuable position. After the Jin Dynasty, he began to be equivalent to the prime minister.
As for Zuo Shuzi, he was originally called "Prince Shuzi". In ancient times, he was the "official of the emperor's concubine" and was responsible for teaching the concubine of the princes, ministers and officials. Shuzi means sons. If there is a big event, the prince will be able to use him to his advantage. Therefore, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, concubines have been regarded as one of the prince's palace officials.
During the Qin Dynasty, he was given the title of concubine. In the Western Han Dynasty, there were also concubines, with five members serving as subordinate officials to the prince, Taifu and Shaofu. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were the prince's concubine and the prince's concubine, who were subordinate officials of the prince's young mansion. Its nature is similar to that of the servants around the emperor, and ancient records also say that "the position is like a servant."
Since the ministers later became more powerful, and these common names in the Ming Dynasty were all honorifics, which were characterized by exalting and analogies, so the concubines on the left and right were called "the ministers", which did not mean that Gao Wusheng was now Since he already has the same identity as the prime minister, the misunderstanding is too big.
Gao Jingshi felt that it was not surprising that Teacher Guo wanted to find him, but he sent someone to call him to the cabinet before he left the palace. This was a bit unlike Guo Pu's style.
Although it is said that after working as an official for a long time, the cabinet will often arrange something to do, but when the cabinet arranges it, it will also give a name first, such as "entering Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion", "zhizhigao", "zhizhichi", etc. Name, secondly, although I, as an official, have received the imperial edict, I have not yet gone to the yamen where I belong to meet the Shangguan, and I have not even received the customs seal letter, Beijing official waist badge, official uniform, etc. Theoretically speaking, it is not official yet. Based on Guo Pu’s usual Style will not be confused about this kind of thing.
It can only be said that there is either something big or something urgent.
Gao pragmatic didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly followed Xiaohuangmen.
The cabinet is not far from the Wenhua Hall, and Gao Jingshi is very familiar with the road. It didn't take long for him to arrive. Along the way, he met many Hanlin officials who were on duty in the cabinet. They all smiled and came forward to say hello to Gao Jingshi and congratulate him on his birthday. Victory, promotion, high pragmatism, thank you one by one, and never be rude.
Guo Pu's duty room was the one used by Gao Gong. Gao Pragmatic was very familiar with it. He walked to the door, gently cleared his throat, and said loudly: "I'd like to see Yuan Fu, Gao Pragmatic."
"Come on, come in when you're here." Guo Pu's tone was much more relaxed than before, not as rigid and serious as before.
Gao Pingshi walked in with a smile and saw that Guo Pu looked very good. Although he was old and his hair was white, his face did not look old. He thought to himself: Is this the benefit of knowing medical skills? But isn’t there an old saying that goes, “It has been difficult to heal oneself since ancient times?” It seems that the old saying cannot be fully believed.
Although he was smiling, he still bowed properly - a serious disciple's bow.
Guo Pu did not stop him, but watched him salute with a smile, and then said: "Get up, sit down and talk."
Gao Wu bowed politely and was not polite to ask him to sit down, so he did.
Guo Pu had known for a long time that this guy usually wouldn't do anything like sitting on his buttocks, so he wasn't surprised. He just smiled and said: "How about this, what are you getting from going south this time?"
As soon as Gao Pragmatic heard this, he knew that this "gain" was not about what great things he had done - that was obvious and there was no need to ask. It is even more impossible to ask him how much money he makes. Teacher Guo Puguo is as poor as he was in the past. He is willing to put effort into managing finances for the country, but has no interest in making money for himself. This is a matter of different ambitions.
In the eyes of some people, interests are money; in the eyes of some people, interests are power; but for some people, interests are their reputation after death.
So Gao pragmatic smiled and replied: "There are indeed some things, especially about the southwest frontier of the Ming Dynasty. Disciples can see it more clearly now. Some of the troubles and difficulties are also understood more clearly."
"Okay, very good. I'm afraid that you will be too successful in Guangxi and Annan, and now you will underestimate the heroes of the world. Judging from your previous memorials, you are very concerned about Myanmar...Why, Myanmar is not what it used to be. ?”
Gao Pangshi straightened his face and said solemnly: "To be honest with you, teacher, I think Myanmar may become a big trouble for Yunnan, and even such trouble has already occurred."
Guo Pu frowned slightly and asked, "How big of a problem is this? Can Yunnan solve it?"
