Gao pragmatically answered in one breath without any hesitation. He looked at Zhu Yijun with eyes that were as clear as a mirror and did not flinch. In addition, he made it clear that he asked Zhu Yijun to summon Princess Yongning to come for questioning immediately, and he did not talk to him during the process. Anyone who meets her also avoids Her Royal Highness, which shows that she has full confidence in the outcome of the inquiry.
In this way, Zhu Yijun had to put away any doubts and believe that Gao Pragmatic's explanation was the truth.
Immediately afterwards, the embarrassment came to Zhu Yijun.
"Get up, get up," the emperor personally stepped forward to help Gao Qingshi, saying
"I blame": "I just asked casually. I just thought that you were too devoted to Luo'er, the youngest son who had to be adopted, and even gave him the name Luo. You knew that I, Da Ming, had nothing to do with the inheritance of the eldest son." There is no room for change. The reason why I ask this question is because I am afraid that you, the Marquis of Nanning, will cause trouble in the matter of seizing the title. Even I will be in trouble." From Gao Pragmatic's point of view, these words are forceful. Respected.
As his eldest son, Gao Yuan is several years older than his younger brothers and sisters. Everyone in the family has long regarded him as their eldest son.
"Nanning awaits attack" treatment? After crossing the New Year's Plateau, he would be thirteen years old. This is the age when many children from general families enter the military training.
I don’t know if it is for this reason that Gao Zhenxin, the commander of Beijing’s Nanyang Fleet, even made a suggestion that ordinary people think is quite outrageous more than half a year ago: Ask the eldest young master to be the commander of the Nanyang Fleet. Gao Zhenxin himself is willing to retire as deputy commander and devote himself wholeheartedly. Assist young master Zuo.
The reason why this proposal was considered outrageous by many people, especially the members of the Gao family, was that although Gao Pragmatic was already a Marquis, he was an official named Marquis clearly determined in the imperial edict.
Since he is an official marquis, what Gao Yuan does?
Of course, "Nanning Hou Yingxi" is also a human being. How can he go to soak in the sea with a group of big bosses every day?
That's nonsense. However, even if the Gao family members think so, there are also objections from southern Xinjiang.
The six major garrison forces all believe that it is completely reasonable and necessary for the eldest young master to take up a military position in Southern Xinjiang. However, it does not necessarily have to be in the Nanyang Fleet, but should be in the military command department of the Southern Xinjiang garrison.
To this end, all members of the Southern Xinjiang Garrison Military Command jointly submitted a request to Huang Zhiting.
The request discussed a lot, but it boiled down to one sentence: Please ask the eldest young master to serve as the military commander of the Southern Xinjiang Guard Army, so that the pending minister of the department can finally be filled by someone.
Regarding this issue, it is necessary to explain. this
The "Southern Xinjiang Garrison Military Command Headquarters" is located in Dingnancheng
The West Court of the "Siam Palace" is theoretically the highest military institution in the entire southern Xinjiang. This department has been established for several years. When Huang Zhiting met with the Portuguese envoy from Goa to discuss allowing the Portuguese to peacefully hand over the city of Malacca, the meeting took place at the palace garrison training ground not far from the Military Command Building.
Note: See Chapter 235 of this volume, Navigation Treaty. Siam Palace Branch
"East Court" and
"West Court", the East Court is the administrative office area of officials, and the West Court belongs to the military attache system. There are only two administrative buildings in the West Courtyard, one named
"Southern Xinjiang Garrison Military Command", a building named
"Dingnan Garrison Headquarters". However, the Kingdom of Siam
After the reform of the "six-ministry system", the Siamese Ministry of War was not there
"West Court", and in
Over at the "East Court", of course, the affairs of the Siam War Ministry are very few, and all the military power is
"West Court". The real owner of Xiting over the years, or rather
The "acting master" is none other than Huang Zhiting. But even Huang Zhiting does not have a very clear and formal position to lead
"Southern Xinjiang Garrison Military Command Department", although she has issued orders in the name of the Military Command Department for many years, the authority of these orders does not come from herself, but from the seal given to her by Gao Pragmatic.
After all, the theoretical power of this military command department is very great. All the major garrison forces in southern Xinjiang need to act in accordance with the orders issued here. There is only one exception, that is, each ministry directly receives the order from Gao Pragmatic, otherwise the military command department will The order is the highest military order in Southern Xinjiang.
As for
"Dingnan Garrison Headquarters", as the name suggests, is responsible for the garrison work of Dingna City. The garrison commander is none other than Huang Zhiting's number one general Huang Hu.
The Huang family is a chieftain family, and its internal power structure is unique. Therefore, although the commanders of the six major garrison armies in southern Xinjiang will come every few years,
"Rotation", but Huang Hu's Dingnan garrison commander has been unwavering for more than ten years. Closer to home, since Huang Zhiting controls the Military Command but does not hold any actual position, and relies entirely on the seal given by Gao Pragmatic to gain authority, then the Military Command is equivalent to never being serious.
"Tangguan", this always makes the military command department feel a little uncomfortable. When Gao Zhenxin recommended Gao Yuan to be the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, he used the example of the princes and princes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties who held various military positions such as a certain marching general. He believed that it would be okay even if Gao Yuan himself did not personally command the Nanyang Fleet. After all, the main reason was to have With such a name, just come from afar. Of course, it would be best to come.
Gao Zhenxin did this, obviously to let the Nanyang Fleet or
"Navy" has become a direct lineage in the eyes of the eldest young master, so that the eldest young master will pay more attention to the interests of the navy in the future.
One thing that may need to be explained here is, isn't Gao Zhenxin worried about Gao Pragmatic's reaction when he does this?
I really don’t worry, the reason is very simple: the eldest son naturally has complete inheritance rights. As long as Gao Pragmatic is not possessed by Jiajing, Gao Zhenxin does not need to worry.
However, Gao Zhenxin's approach obviously reminded the army, and the Military Command of the Garrison Army immediately reacted. They first supported Gao Zhenxin's proposal for the eldest young master to take up a military position, but then they thought that the Nanyang Fleet was not worth the eldest young master's personal appointment. !
Our Southern Xinjiang Garrison Military Command is in charge of the military affairs of the kingdoms in Southern Xinjiang. It has six major garrison armies with a strength of more than 300,000. Note: Originally about 280,000, some more were added after the Nanyang Islands were taken, but no new ones have been added yet.
"Guard Army" level establishment. In addition, there are about 200,000 servants from the southern Xinjiang countries. The total army is at least 500,000. Is it not more important than your mere Nanyang fleet?
Let alone the Nanyang Fleet, even if you put the Northern and Southern Fleets together, you would still have to shy away in front of the Military Command of the Garrison Army.
If it's "valuable", your two-ocean fleet may indeed be more expensive. This matter was aroused in Jinghua at that time, because the Ming Dynasty's eldest son inheritance system was firmly established, and no one was worried about Gao Pragmatic being blamed. What's more, they also knew that doing so could win the favor of the wife, which would be even more important. Unscrupulous.
Huang Zhiting did not express any objection, but she also did not express her approval. This is not to say that she actually acquiesced. In fact, she was quite conflicted about it.
Letting Gao Yuan take up a military position earlier will certainly help him establish a master-slave relationship with the main military generals within Beijing, which will be beneficial to him in taking charge of Beijing in the future.
However, Huang Zhiting also had to consider two issues: First, her husband was only in his thirties this year, which was almost the age at which most new scholars would become scholars, and he was not in a hurry to train a son to take over.
Although the Ming Dynasty's system is here, pushing Yuan'er to take up a military position will not cause her husband to express dissatisfaction, but who knows whether he is happy or not?
In the final analysis, Jinghua is the husband's Jinghua. It was built by him from scratch. If he is dissatisfied and has any consequences, no one can afford it.
You must know that although the Ming Dynasty has great rules, southern Xinjiang is not actually under the control of the Ming Dynasty. The husband's orders are above all else.
Even though she has been in charge of southern Xinjiang for many years, she has always been
"Dai Zhen", if there is no husband's seal to endorse her authority, who will listen to her? I'm afraid it's only Huang Hu.
"The order cannot leave Dingnancheng". No, Dingnan City may not necessarily listen to her. After all, Huang Hu, the commander of the Dingnan garrison, only has 8,000 people under his command. Among them, only 5,000 wolf soldiers are directly subordinate to him. The remaining 3,000 people have always been Liu Xin's soldiers. It was separated from the Liu Jiajun back then.
The Dingnan garrison stationed in the Kingdom of Siam must only obey the orders of their husbands. They have five towns and a total strength of 63,500 people. They are the strongest among the six garrison towns.
Secondly, Huang Zhiting is still entangled in whether Gao Yuan will do it in the future.
"Conform" means whether he should take the imperial examination like his father. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, one had to be a Jinshi master who passed the imperial examination, and social status was truly respected.
However, there is a big trouble here, that is, Gao Pingshi, the Marquis of Nanning, is actually the only one since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Official title", and
The "Three Kings" all rely on martial arts to become princes. However, the emperor's original imperial edict only made it clear
The point of "official title" does not say whether the eldest son, who is highly pragmatic, will have to pass the Jinshi examination before he can become an official after or before he inherits the marquis.
There is great uncertainty in this matter because there is no precedent to follow. For example, during the founding period of the People's Republic of China, Li Shanchang was a feudal lord. It stands to reason that we can look to Li Shanchang's eldest son as an example. However, the problem is that Li Shanchang's eldest son Li Qishang married a princess, and he was the prince's consort.
This is obviously incomparable, because the Ming Dynasty later did not allow Princess Shang, a descendant of Xungui, at all. Another uncertainty in this matter is that
"Nanning Marquis" may be a very special title in the future, because Zhu Yijun made a statement a few years ago, which roughly means that a title may be set up in the future.
"Dingnan Protectorate". At that time, Zhu Yijun said this: "The Southern Protectorate was set up in the southern city of Siam, and a first-class yamen was established. Its chief responsibility was to control the Tibetan tribes, appease the conquests, narrate merits and punishments, and defend China. The Crown Prince and Grand Master Gao pragmatically leads the first-rank Dingnan Protector; the first-rank wife Huang Zhiting resigned from the post of deputy governor of the Annan Governor's Department and was promoted to the first-rank Dingnan deputy governor, with the right to know the governor. The Dingnan Governor's Yamen belongs to the official rank and above The chief and deputy governors will come down. The official titles, appointments, etc. will be drawn up by the governor within one year and submitted to me for approval. The Dingnan governor has jurisdiction over Annam, Siam, Bago, Myanmar, Nanzhang, Cambodia, etc.
"The southern borders of Yun and Gui". The areas under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate are allowed to establish trade customs cities and open official and private ports. The land and customs tariffs shall be negotiated between the Ministry of Revenue and the Protectorate within one year and submitted to me for approval.
The military system of Dingnan Protectorate is based on its
Because it is "not the same as the Central Plains", the Imperial Guard is allowed to make its own decisions. However, the types of troops, positions, equipment and other matters need to be reported to the Ministry of War, and the customs report should be reported every three years.
"I and the Ministry of War will not allow remote control." The military personnel affiliated to the Duhufufu, military pay and weapons, and other needs are all raised by the Duhufufu itself.
All armies must comply with the imperial call. If there is a call from the imperial court, the food, salary, merit rewards, and pensions will be calculated according to the system of the southern army call, and the rest will not matter." At that time, this imperial edict had already been issued to Gao Pragmatic. But there is a problem with the imperial edict itself: although it is a very high-level imperial edict,
"Gao", but it is the same
"The purpose".
"Zhongzhi" means that although it was issued by the emperor and contained the emperor's treasure at the signature, it was not signed by the cabinet.
so-called
"If it doesn't go through Fengge Luantai, how can it be called an imperial edict?" In the same way, in the Ming Dynasty at this time, if there was no cabinet attachment, how could it be called an imperial edict?
"Gao"? Therefore, Gao Pragmatic refused to accept the imperial edict on the spot on the grounds that it had no legal effect.
However, the matter itself was actually a bureau set up by the emperor at that time. The purpose was that the court, the Queen Mother, and others all believed that Gao Jingjing's strength in southern Xinjiang was too great and his contribution to the court was too high, so it was necessary to control Gao Jingjing's future. When there is an arrangement, an ambiguous explanation is given, and the situation is set up.
In other words, at that time the emperor basically stated that in the future he would
"South of Yun and Gui" are all assigned to the so-called
"Dingnan Protector's Mansion" was used as a reward for Gao's pragmatism. Then Huang Zhiting must consider that if the emperor's words will become reality in the future, theoretically the Dingnan Protector should be made by
The "Nanning Marquis" is hereditary. So if that's the case, why does Gao Yuan still take the imperial examination? According to the Ming Dynasty's rules for seizing nobility, Gao Yuan only needs to survive
"Inspection period" will do. The so-called inspection is actually very simple, that is, no trouble was caused during those few years.
What's more, there is another point to consider here, the so-called
The establishment of the "Dingnan Protectorate" was not just to reward Gao for his merits. In the final analysis, it was because the entire southern Xinjiang was actually in his hands. This was a matter of strength.
Then, even if Gao Pingshi dies in the future, this strength will naturally be inherited by Gao Yuan. The current emperor or the next emperor can only let Gao Yuan ascend the throne and inherit the post of Dingnan Protector.
In this case, Gao Yuan still did not need to take the imperial examination. All in all, Huang Zhiting was in a dilemma because he wanted Gao Yuan to take the imperial examination from a secular perspective, but he also felt that it would be okay not to take the examination.
At the same time, considering that Gao Pragmatic's own attitude was not clear, Huang Zhiting did not say anything at all in the end, and just helped the Military Command of the Garrison Army to forward the petition to the Jinghua Headquarters in a very procedural way.
It stands to reason that Gao Jingshi should have responded to this no matter what his views were. However, unfortunately, by the time this petition was sent to the capital, Gao Jingshi had already set off to North Korea to quell Japan.
Of course, the petition was quickly sent to Sichuan, and Gao Pragmatic got it only about half a month late.
As a result, he ultimately rejected the petition or, I should say, postponed it. Gao's pragmatic answer was that Gao Yuan had not completed his studies at this time, and as a
"Nanning is waiting for the attack", it is not convenient to leave the capital easily, especially when he, a father, is leading hundreds of thousands of water and land troops to fight outside.
However, Gao Pragmatic also gave a timetable, saying that when Gao Yuan turns sixteen, he will go to Dingnancheng to take up the post of Minister of Military Order of the Southern Xinjiang Guard Army.
When the news spread to southern Xinjiang, Huang Zhiting felt relieved. She still agreed with Gao Jingshi's statement. After all, one of Nanning Hou and Nanning Hou Yingxi had to be in the capital. This was the rule of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that Gao Jingshi was leading troops outside.
In fact, the imperial court was very lenient towards Gao Pangshi, because theoretically speaking, not only Gao Yuan should stay in the capital, but even Huang Zhiting, the head wife, should also stay in the capital.
Of course, the situation of the Gao family is indeed somewhat special. After all, Huang Zhiting is a big chieftain, and it is the rule for her to stay in the territory.
What's more, after she was transferred to Annan, she still had the important responsibility of monitoring the Annan Governor's Department on behalf of the imperial court. Her position as Deputy Governor of the Annan Governor's Department had always been her official position in the court.
All in all, the status of Gao Yuan, the eldest son, is very stable, and it is impossible for the emperor who owns Dongchang and Jinyiwei to be unaware of this.
Since he knows this, the emperor's words just now are obviously trying to make amends, indicating that he had indeed suspected that the name Gao Luo was Gao Pragmatic before.
"ulterior motives". This made Gao pragmatic a little puzzled. Isn’t it just a name? As for such a big reaction?
No, no, the name should be just a trigger at most. The root of the problem is definitely not just one.
The word "Luo". So, the fuse is connected
What exactly is a "dynamite pack"? Gao pragmatic couldn't help but want to analyze it carefully, but unfortunately, there was obviously no time for him to analyze it. He had to deal with Zhu Yijun's current words first.
"The Emperor is overly concerned. I have always adhered to etiquette and laws." Too much words lead to mistakes, and Gao's pragmatic answer was very simple.
Zhu Yijun didn't want to talk more, so he immediately answered: "That's good, then I'll be relieved." He helped Gao Pragmatic stand up, and the two of them sat down again, exactly the same as before.
However, Gao Pingshi knew that from this moment on, the relationship between them would be somewhat different from the past anyway. Even if it was only a very subtle difference, it would be different after all.
However, at this moment, Zhu Yijun felt that he was in the wrong and still wanted to make amends as much as possible, so he changed the subject and said: "By the way, you just met the people from the outer court. What is their attitude towards the birth of the emperor's legitimate son?"
"Of course they are all happy." Gao pragmatically said, then smiled and added: "At least it seems so."
"It seems so, it looks like." Zhu Yijun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Humph, some people have placed too high expectations on Chang Luo and invested too much. I think their mood must be very complicated now, even It's very unpleasant." Gao pragmatically said nothing, it was not convenient for him to answer this.
However, Zhu Yijun didn't expect him to answer. Instead, he gradually showed a cautious look on his face and said thoughtfully: "Rixin, do you think they will accept their fate obediently?" Thanks to the book friend
