Now, the pressure is on Shen Yiguan's side.
Give up letting Dongchang cover up his conspiracy to use Concubine Zheng, or give up his top disciple and thug Qian Menggao? This dilemma has become unavoidable due to Gao Pragmatic's reasonable use of rules. He is not allowed to do any more Tai Chi push hands.
After all, Shen Yiguan was a thoughtful person. Although the accident came quickly, he still immediately made a basic judgment: Qian Menggao could not give up.
This is not because Shen Guangyi values love and justice and is reluctant to give up an obedient disciple and useful thug. After all, for a veteran like Shen Yiguan, who has been immersed in officialdom for decades, he has not to mention hundreds or even thousands of disciples, but he can at least select twenty or thirty Jinshi and hundreds of candidates. The loss of just one person is nothing. Woolen cloth?
As for "useful thugs", this is true, but Qian Menggao is not irreplaceable at this point. Even if he is really lost, it is not difficult for a dignified elder to put some effort into cultivating one or two more. . Although there will be a slight delay in time, it will only take a few months to operate and promote. In short, as long as he, Shen Ge, is foolproof, he can definitely afford to wait.
But the key to the matter is not that Qian Menggao has any irreplaceable abilities, but that he has some indelible experiences at this moment.
Shen Yiguan couldn't give up on Qian Menggao because Qian Menggao was involved in too many things that couldn't be revealed to the world. Once Shen Yigui gave up on him, who knows whether he would break the pot and simply kill himself, the benevolent minister. Pull down the water?
After all, there was no way that Qian Menggao, with his thin arms and legs, could bear those things. Only by dragging Shen Yiguan into the water could he, Section Chief Qian, have a chance to survive.
how to say? If Shen Yiguan goes into the water, Qian Menggao can at least be reduced from the principal criminal to an accessory, right? Although due to the bad nature of the matter, the fate of the accomplice may not be much better, but in order to survive when a person falls into the water, it is impossible to let go of even one straw, not to mention that Shen Yiguan will never let go of more than one straw no matter what. weight.
As a typical conspirator, Shen Guangyuan has a deep enough understanding of human nature. Therefore, he will never expect Qian Menggao to maintain the teacher-student friendship in times of crisis and shoulder everything for the sake of Enxiang. Besides, he couldn't bear it.
It took a long time to express the above in words, but in fact Shen Yiguan's embarrassment did not last long. His mind quickly adjusted, and he continued: "...Since the two gentlemen both have high hopes for Qian Sheng, Yu Ning As his master, he had no choice but to take over this critical task for him. However, this matter is not easy after all, and Master Yu and his disciples cannot guarantee that they will be able to do it, especially... There is also a big hidden worry in this. I wonder if the second master has already had it. Countermeasures.”
Wang Jiaping was very happy to see that he agreed, but when he heard that he still had hidden worries, he couldn't help but wonder if Shen Yiguan was trying to find some excuse to shirk. Wang Yuanfu pondered and said: "I don't know what the hidden worries mentioned by Jiaomen Gong are?"
Gao Pragmatic is an expert in the system, is Shen Guanyi inferior? After a period of panic, he slowly calmed down and began to look for flaws, and he actually found some.
"You two should know that although the Chief of the Criminal Division can exert a certain influence on Jin Yiwei in this matter, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the emperor cannot personally give any hint to Jin Yiwei, otherwise..."
I won’t bother you to understand “otherwise”. Of course Wang Jiaping and Gao Pragmatic understand it very well.
The Jinyiwei was born during the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. Initially, it served as a military organization that took orders from the emperor. Later, it evolved into a special organization with both spy and judicial properties. In the process of its development, although its functions continued to expand, what remained unchanged was that the object of its service was always the emperor.
Originally, the emergence of the Jin Yiwei was directly related to the emperor's suspicion, so it later became a surveillance tool to help the emperor maintain social order in the capital, monitor judicial trials and other activities, and therefore had many privileges.
Because these privileges were dependent on imperial power for their existence, and also because these privileges made them face the hostility of other courtiers, both civil and military. So under such circumstances, they are naturally loyal to the emperor, and they can only be loyal to the emperor.
Of course, as mentioned in the previous article of this book, the development of Jinyiwei has become very serious in "civilization". What is "civilization"? Many civil servants were favored by the emperor and entered the Imperial Guard because of their military exploits.
When these children were favored and entered Jinyiwei, it was almost impossible to start from the grassroots level, at least starting from a hundred households. Another reason why Jinyiwei could remain loyal was the hereditary system.
Baihu is already a mid-level officer, and his starting point is not low. There are also many civil servants who directly serve as Qianhu when they enter, and even serve as governors, commanding ministers, commanding colleagues, and even commanding envoys.
For example, Gao Jingshi still has a Jinyiwei Commander, a Commanding Officer, and three Thousand Households of Enyin Quota - but he has not yet designated the person for the Enyin, so it does not take effect.
This seems ridiculous, doesn't it? After all, the highest military position of Jinyiwei in the past was the commander. So according to the favor Gao Pragmatic received, he could even designate one of his nephews to be the commander of Jinyiwei at will. Isn't this nonsense?
In fact, the emperors in the past had considered this situation for a long time. For example, the "highest military position of the Jinyi Guards" was theoretically the commander, but in fact the emperor would arrange someone else to be the "Jinyi Commander" - such as the younger brother of the old Duke Zhu Xizhong Zhu Xixiao, he is the real head of Jinyiwei.
Of course, there is another situation, that is, the civil servants who receive the favor of the commander of the Jinyiwei are usually more "conscious" and will almost never actually appoint a nephew to serve as the commander.
How should I put it? The position of Commander Jin Yiwei, the "theoretical leader", at least sounds a bit sensitive. Generally speaking, civil servants who can get this level of favor are not experienced, how can they put themselves on the fire?
If you want to arrange for your nephew to serve in a thousand households, you don't have to think about it. As long as someone in the family is really willing to go, just arrange for him to go. Even the Jin Yiwei's command of the ministers and even the colleagues can be arranged. Especially when the nephew in the family is really incompetent in studying, it will be arranged. The problem is not big. After the emperor knows the situation of your family, he will not Will blame.
As for why Gao pragmatically has so much kindness left in his hands, it's useless... Well, isn't this because he has done too much meritorious service and the younger members of his family would rather go to Beijing even if they are not successful in their studies? Except for the commander, the reason why the rest of Enyin couldn't be used was not because Gao was pragmatic because he was afraid of the emperor's suspicion, but because no one in the Gao family was willing to go.
As for the Jinyiwei, although its function of monitoring officials is gradually weakening, and its reputation is much better than a hundred years ago, no matter how good it is, it still cannot escape the reputation of being an "Emperor's Eagle Dog". Therefore, for a family like the Gao family, which is known as "the sect of practical learning and the sect of Zhongzhou Yifan", if it is not a disciple who really can't survive, who would be willing to go to Jinyiwei to show off!
Looking back at Shen Yiguan's words, his meaning is very clear: I can indeed ask Qian Menggao to put pressure on Jinyiwei, but if the emperor personally greets Jinyiwei, then Qian Menggao will scold the people under Jinyiwei who are performing tasks. Nothing can be changed by being bloody. In the end, Jin Yiwei will definitely only listen to the emperor's arrangements.
And this is not something I can change. You two must either be prepared in advance, or you can only wait for things to develop in a direction you don't want.
This problem is very practical, but Wang Jiaping can't solve it, so he can only turn his head and look at Gao Pragmatic.
Gao was pragmatic and did not hesitate. He nodded and said: "Your Majesty has already tried to persuade me. He should not interfere with Jin Yiwei's affairs, or at least he will not give any bad hints to Jin Yiwei."
Wang Jiaping was very satisfied with this answer, but Shen Yiguan was alarmed and thought to himself: Gao Rixin couldn't persuade the emperor yesterday when he said "there is no closeness", but now it seems that there is indeed an ambush in his words... Huh, that's it. I know that you are not a fuel-efficient guy. How could I, Shen Jiaomen, be deceived by you?
Shen Yiguan cursed secretly in his heart, but a happy smile appeared on his face, and he said happily: "This is the best. With Mr. Rixin's guarantee, the matter is more than half settled."
After hearing these words, Gao Pingshi also sneered in his heart: Want to play flattery? Haha, it’s not like there weren’t people who wanted to praise me and kill me back then. It’s not your turn, Shen Jiaomen, to show off this move.
However, he showed a warm smile like Shen Guangyuan: "Mr. Jiaomen is too praiseworthy. Your Majesty has no intention of intervening in Jinyiwei's affairs. Otherwise, no matter how much you try to persuade him, it will be useless. If this matter can be handled smoothly, in the final analysis, it is still Chief Qian deserves a lot of credit - of course, Mr. Jiaomen, as his mentor, also deserves a lot of credit."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I just hope everything goes well. It's just gossip." Shen Guanyi smiled and said, but immediately his smile faded, and he frowned slightly, showing a worried look, and said: "There is another worry: Dongchang After all, it also has a great influence on Jinyiwei. If something happens to Factory Supervisor Wang..."
Gao Pragmatic's smile remained unchanged, and he said in a gentle and gentle voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiaomen, Chen Zhangyin is not a careless person, and he must have taken precautions against this."
All the excuses have been made, and at the same time, all possible scapegoats have been thrown out first. Shen Yiguan also knew that since Gao Pragmatic dared to do this today, there would be no arrangements for the emperor and Dongchang, so he said no more. , just said: "That's very good... Since the discussion has been decided, it should not be delayed. I will leave first and go to make some explanations with Qian Sheng."
The rest of the cabinet elders naturally agreed, but before Shen Yiguan left, Zhao Zhigao suddenly said: "Hey, Japan is feeling a little unwell today. Now that major matters have been discussed and settled, all cabinet ministers are also on duty... Yuan Fu, can you please be kind to me?" Are you going back to recuperate?"
In fact, if the elder wanted to ask for leave, he had to go to the emperor. In principle, it was not easy to go to the chief assistant. However, Zhao Zhigao was sick, and the emperor had already issued instructions to allow him to work according to his physical condition.
Wang Jiaping knew that he didn't care much and often took sick leave, so he often asked him in advance when it would be convenient to write and draw up votes. He often didn't answer, so he figured he could go back directly now. As for asking Wang Jiaping This sentence might as well be regarded as respecting the chief assistant.
As expected, Wang Jiaping did not stop him. Instead, he persuaded the Duke of Liyang to take a good rest, so Zhao Zhigao and Shen Yiguan left the cabinet together.
The cabinet meeting adjourned, and Gao Pingshi and the other three cabinet ministers from the Practical School had not gone out for a few steps when Liang Menglong snorted softly and said, "Does Rixin really think that Zhao Yiyang really intends to go home and rest like this?"
Gao pragmatic smiled: "For such a big matter, we have to go to Shen Jiaomen to explain to each other. At least we have to know how Shen Jiaomen plans to deal with it, right?"
Liang Menglong felt relieved when he saw that Gao Pingshi knew that this matter was not simple. He nodded and said: "Rixin has always been cautious, but I worry too much. In short, since Rixin has a plan in mind, I won't worry about these worries.
I estimate that it can take as long as three months or as short as one month, and the matter of national foundation should be put aside. I plan to take advantage of this period of time to visit some of the scenic spots near the capital that I have not yet visited, so that I can make sure that I have spent all my years as an official in the capital..."
Gao pragmatic knew that Liang Menglong had really made up his mind to leave, and there was no need to persuade him any more, but he still couldn't help but asked: "Mingquan is so upright and upright, and it's hard for students to persuade him. I just don't know... By then Mr. Mingquan will be honest." Who do you recommend to the cabinet to take over?"
Unexpectedly, Liang Menglong waved his hand coolly and said: "I'm too lazy to think about this kind of thing. When the time comes, Nixin will tell me in advance that I will recommend whoever you want to use... But you don't have to think too much." I think I’m just saying this because I believe in your vision.”
Gao Pragmatic had nothing to say but thank you. And Liang Menglong is indeed handsome now, and Shi Shiran has left.
After Liang Menglong left, he never thought that Zhou Yong actually had something to talk to Gao Pingshi.
Zhou Yong asked in a low voice: "Ma Gui arrived in Ningyuan three days ago, and everyone is speculating whether he will succeed Qi Shuai when he comes back this time..."
Only then did Gao Pragmatic remember the triumphant return of Ma Gui and the others. He thought for a moment and said in deep thought: "In the name of the Ministry of War, I ordered Ma Gui and others to temporarily stay in Jizhen and not to come to Beijing yet."
Zhou Yong was startled: "Mr. Rixin, why is this?"
"It's too sensitive in terms of time." Gao Pragmatic frowned and said: "The situation between the DPRK and China is tense now. Although Ma Gui can't bring too many troops to Beijing, he is making a triumphant return. He can't be allowed to bring only 500 people, right?
The Ministry of War has been controlled by our Real School for many years. If Ma Gui is allowed to bring thousands of troops to Beijing now, what do you think others will think? What would the emperor even think?
Although I don’t think that the Wo Shi School has ulterior motives, I am afraid that we intend to use this to put pressure on certain people. This is not what I want to see - in political matters, we must try to avoid involving the military. "
Zhou Yong understood, nodded and said: "It is better that Mr. Ri Xing has considered everything carefully. In this case, I will go to the Ministry of War to talk to Song Tonggang (Song Yingchang)."
Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "Okay, here is Mr. Lao Lexuan."
