It's not surprising that Shen Guangyuan is anxious, after all, the investigation of the "Medicinal Diet Case" has already begun. Although he feels that things have been arranged properly, if Jin Yiwei really intends to investigate thoroughly, the tricks he arranged may not be effective. Although some things that can be used as evidence have gone through several tricks, they can still be found by following the clues. He's here.
Therefore, Shen Yiguan must move quickly, otherwise once the matter is exposed, even if he is pragmatic and wants to let him go, it may not be convenient.
There is another very important thing. Shen Yiguan also wants to clarify a doubtful point through today's confession, that is, he sent people to Xinzheng with the intention of assassinating Gao Zai and his wife. Does Gao Pragmatic know or not.
According to Shen's consistent thinking, if Gao Jingshi really knew about this matter and even had evidence in his hands, Gao Jingshi should not let him go today. On the contrary, if Gao Pragmatic is willing to let it go, it means that the matter has not been discovered by him, or even if he has doubts, he has not been able to grasp the evidence.
In this matter, Shen Yiguan finally made a mistake that normal people would make. A normal Ming Dynasty person would definitely be furious if he learned that someone was planning to assassinate his parents, and he would also have enough reasons to use this to defeat his opponent - after all, this was the Ming Dynasty, and if you put the word "filial piety" on the table, you would be the victim again. If you have the status of a murderer, then even the emperor can't tell you that you are wrong.
But Shen Guanyi never expected that Gao Pragmatic was not a "normal Ming Dynasty person". Although he was also annoyed that Shen Guanyi's method was too despicable, he was not filled with righteous indignation or rage. Instead, he chose to keep the evidence until it was needed. Throw them together.
For Gao Pragmatic, Shen Yiguan mainly wanted to force himself to worry about Ding through this incident. After all, killing his father and killing his mother was just an attempted crime, and it would not make him so angry that he would lose his mind. This is more of a handle, a bomb that can be thrown out at any time to kill Shen Yiyi. In this case, it should be left when it is needed most.
Just like the conditions that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield in the age of firearms, the amount of firepower projected per unit time and unit range is the key, so there is no need to rush to use this kind of handle.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, if Shen Guangyi does not take the initiative to kill him, Gao Pragmatic is actually not willing to kill him now. Moreover, judging from Shen Yiguan's performance today, he also discovered this himself.
How can we tell that Shen Guanyi discovered this? Because today he specifically hinted that Gao Pragmatic now resembles Huo Guang.
Shen has always been betting, betting high and being pragmatic, and he is not willing to really go in the direction of Huo Guang now.
Moreover, the reason why Huo Guang became the super powerful minister who could lead the abolition of the throne later required at least three prerequisites: first, Emperor Wu was no longer around, and he was the chief Gu Ming; second, Jin Rixi, Shangguan Jie, Tian Qianqiu , Sang Hongyang and others were eliminated one by one by him as ministers who cared about their lives; thirdly, he always firmly controlled the military power, and at the same time let the Queen Mother stand on his side and provide political endorsement for any of his actions.
These three premises cannot be achieved by today's high pragmatism, especially the two points of "emperor Wu is dead" and "endorsement by the Queen Mother".
The power and prestige of Gao Guang now far exceeds that of Huo Guang before Emperor Wu's death, but as he said today, most of the credit he has made must be recorded on the emperor himself.
That means that although Gao Jingjing's prestige is high now, the emperor's prestige is even higher - he, Emperor Wanli, is the master of ZTE, and Gao Jingjing can only be regarded as a famous minister of ZTE at best. Therefore, as long as the emperor is still there, it is impossible for Gao Guang to become Huo Guang.
However, Shen Yiguan's previous behavior was pushing the emperor towards death. This seems a bit unreasonable. There must be some reasons.
What's the reason?
There are at least three reasons: First, not many emperors of the Ming Dynasty have lived a long life so far, and the dragon bodies in today's world don't look much better. Shen has always believed that even if he didn't take action secretly, the emperor would definitely not be able to survive the pragmatism of the emperor who never had any record of absenteeism and could lead troops on expeditions at every turn - even if they were the same age.
Secondly, if the emperor dies, judging from the current situation, the chief minister must be pragmatic, and there will definitely be no second choice. What's even more frightening is that, based on Gao Gong's performance that year, there is a high probability that the emperor will make another public endorsement before his death: "If everything is undecided, just ask Mr. Gao." Then it will be completely over.
Thirdly, if everything develops normally according to the current situation, the position of crown prince will definitely fall into the hands of the emperor's legitimate son, and Gao Pragmatic is the number one contributor who insists on waiting for the Queen to give birth to a legitimate son before he can establish the crown prince. Then in the future, once the emperor takes over If the Empress Dowager Li is gone, the "Queen Mother's support" will be a sure thing for Gao Pragmatic.
In this way, the great power in the DPRK will be completely in the hands of Gao Pragmatic, and the "Huo Guang" momentum will be achieved in an instant.
Of course, the issue of military power is not mentioned here. The main thing is that this point simply does not need to be mentioned.
Although it is reasonable to say that there are three branches of soldiers in the capital: the Jinyi Guards, the Pure Army, and the Imperial Guard.
However, even a three-year-old child knows that it is okay for Jin Yiwei to detect information, and it is okay to stand guard and travel as a guard, but do you really want them to go to war... Then forget it.
When talking about the Pure Army, we must first talk about the nature of this army. "People in Gyeonggi Province were envious of the wealth and honor of their internal officials, so they secretly castrated young boys in order to keep them. There were also undocumented children, married people who were dying, and every time the Ministry of Rites reported them to the imperial court, they were all spared from death and assigned to the imperial family. The guard station outside the mouth is named Jingjun.
If he is pardoned, he will be sent to Nanyuan to grow vegetables according to the story. If there is a vacancy, he will be selected to serve. There are also those who can solve the problem intelligently and become prominent. "
To put it simply, if there were not the premise of "self-castration", it would be roughly similar to the Song Dynasty's habit of recruiting refugees into the Xiang army. It was mainly used as a means of maintaining stability to prevent them from being idle and causing trouble. After gathering this group of people, the vast majority of them did not really join the army, but went to "Nanyuan to grow vegetables". Only when "there is a vacancy" will they be selected to serve.
However, even if they are recruited, the number of this team itself is very limited. After all, their role in the capital is relatively limited. In many cases, they are just guarding the palace, the prince's palace and so on.
The largest number of them was in the late Jiajing period. At that time, because there were too many ordinary people who could not survive, many people cut off their descendants and came to join the Purification Army. At its peak, the Purification Army numbered around 20,000 people - of course, Most of them still grow vegetables in Nanyuan.
Therefore, although this team is nominally a core force directly under the Royal Horse Supervisor, the key to its core lies in its identity, not the reliability of its force.
Now the real core force of the imperial court is actually one: the Imperial Guard.
This powerful army is now known as the best army in the world. If it randomly sends a small part to go south, it will frighten the rebellious Cao army, which claims to have 100,000 troops, to collapse. The deterrence is evident. At the same time, it can also be said that whoever controls the Imperial Guard actually controls the military power of the capital.
Now that the emperor is still there, half of his tiger talisman is needed to mobilize the imperial guards, and the emperor himself has enough prestige, so there is no need to worry about the loyalty of the imperial guards.
What if the emperor is gone? Even if that half of the Tiger Talisman is not in the hands of Gao Jingshi personally, it will definitely fall into the hands of Queen Wang - or Queen Mother Wang, which is not much different from falling into the hands of Gao Jingshi.
What's more, if there is any emergency, considering that the current commander of the Imperial Guard is Ma Gui, with Gao Gui's prestige in the army and Ma Gui's mind, if someone wants to correct the imperial edict, he can go to the Beijing North Camp and say something. ——No matter whether it is following the late emperor's decree or the Queen Mother Yi's decree, in short, who among the 70,000 imperial guards would jump out and question it?
In front of the true founder of the Imperial Guard and the invincible number one literary commander in the world, who the hell dares to question it! During the Gaoping Ling Incident, Sima Yi didn't have anything. He just captured Sima Men. Do you think there are still imperial guards questioning him?
Gao Wuzhen's trump card now is ten times stronger than Sima Yi's at that time. It can be said that as long as Jin Shang is not around, the Beijing Guards Camp can decide whether his surname is Zhu or Gao according to his wishes!
Therefore, Shen Yiguan did not consider military power at all. He knew that his only chance at that time was to take advantage of the window period when the emperor was still there and the prince was undecided. He quickly forced Gao Pangshi to force Ding You to leave the capital, and then let the emperor's legitimate son die unexpectedly and the emperor He died unexpectedly, and finally pushed the eldest son of the emperor to the throne!
At that time, the imperial power was in hand, so Ma Gui was quickly replaced, and the matter was basically settled. If Gao Pragmatic still wanted to resist at this time, it would be a rebellion. Shen always didn't think Gao Pragmatic would do this. It can be said that Shen Yiguan's plan is very subtle. If everything goes well, he can indeed complete a shocking reversal.
However, just as Gao Pragmatic does not like to make tactics extremely complicated in combat, if a plan is too complicated, then any link in it will cause the entire plan to become abnormal or even completely invalid.
As expected, Shen Yiguang's problem lies here. Although Gao Pingshi didn't fully grasp his plan, he just suddenly struck out at one or two links in the middle. His entire plan was like a dyke that had been hollowed out by an ant nest. The huge waves collapsed with a crash, leaving nothing behind.
To be a gambler, one must have the awareness to lose everything. Shen has always had this awareness, but he is not an ordinary gambler after all. After a period of panic, he really found out the "life gate": I am now your last If I were defeated by you, wouldn't it be you who have the final say in this court?
However, the surname of this court is not Gao. Can the emperor tolerate such a situation? Are you really planning to openly compete with the Emperor for power in the world?
Shen Yiguan decided to take one last gamble, betting that Gao Jingjing was a cautious person, and a person who would not reveal any thoughts of powerful officials in front of the "Wudi".
Even if he really wanted to be Huo Guang, he would have to wait for Emperor Wu to pass away and give him political endorsement, and then he would eliminate other ministers who threatened him one by one.
He bets high and is pragmatic and already has a winning chance, so he will not take risks easily, and will definitely choose the safest way to obtain power, making all processes seem smooth and natural, and he will finally deserve his title.
Shen always made the right bet. Gao pragmatic really agreed with him to go south to Mount Tai, and even asked him by name to go further and simply go to Nanjing to organize the Nanjing Imperial Palace.
Is this distribution? It can be said that it is, but Shen has always been satisfied.
Different from Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, Shen Guangyuan's seemingly efforts for the Heart School did not really have any illusions about the Heart School defeating the Real School. He only regarded the Heart School as his power base and as his own Steps into the body.
For a person like Shen Yiguan, as long as he can gain power, what if he transforms into a member of the Real School?
Orthodoxy? Can orthodoxy be used as food or used as power?
Even if the Xin School has acquired the orthodoxy, if Shen Yiguan cannot become Yuanfu of the Ming Dynasty, who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people, then this orthodoxy is of no use and has nothing to do with him? He is a loving father who would rather sacrifice his son's future to protect his own!
Although I am giving up now, as the old saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as he keeps his position in the cabinet, after two years, Emperor Taishan completes the conferment of Zen. As the initiator of the conferment, he will definitely be regarded as a major contributor by the satisfied Emperor, and then there will still be a chance to make a comeback.
And by then, Gao Jingshi, as the main contributor to the emperor's achievements in being able to confer Zen on Mount Tai, will definitely be elevated again. By that time... hey, maybe he himself has already reached the point where a flying dragon is in the sky, and Kanglong has regrets. I waved to him from the front!
Shen always looked at Gao Pragmatism, who was drifting away, and even though he was already in a "retreat" situation, he still snorted proudly.
However, Gao's pragmatic expression is also very relaxed. He returned to his room with a calm expression and called Xiong Tingbi over, asking him to ask the ceremonial supervisor who had written several memorials if his reply had arrived.
Today there are several memorials that Gao Pragmatic is particularly concerned about, including several issues such as military hierarchy reform (A, B, and C classification system), disaster relief in Liaodong and Jiangnan, etc.
This is Gao's pragmatic style. He rarely affects the government affairs at hand because of political battles. However, Xiong Tingbi's answer made him frown slightly. It wasn't that Xiong Tingbi had any problem himself, but that he told Mr. Gao Ge that the Chief of Ceremonies didn't reply.
However, Gao Pragmatic's brows soon relaxed in relief, because Xiong Tingbi said the reason: "It is said that because Wang An committed suicide, the Secretary of Li is in a bit of confusion... The emperor gave Wang An good courtesy, and the Secretary of Li I'm afraid the prison officer is going to have to do a lot of things, and Chen Zhangyin is Wang An's recommender anyway, so he will definitely be busy for a few days."
This is true, in theory. However, Gao Pragmatic is still a little dissatisfied, because although it doesn't matter if he waits for a few days for the military hierarchy reform, the disaster in Liaodong and Jiangnan cannot wait. He, the Minister of Household Affairs, is still very responsible for this.
"Send someone to send a message and tell him that I want to see the emperor." Gao pragmatically ordered. Xiong Tingbi didn't say much and immediately agreed. However, as soon as he reached the door, he bumped into several ceremonial supervisors coming to convey the emperor's oral instructions.
Xiong Tingbi got out of the way and invited them into Gao Jingshi's room. The leader, Xiao Huangmen, first raised his chest and announced: "Your Majesty, please come to Dongnuang Pavilion to discuss important matters!" Then he immediately bent down and came to Gao Jingshi. He bowed and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Majesty, you have been waiting for a while. Will Mr. Gao move to Dongnuan Pavilion immediately?"
Gao Pingshi stood up immediately after hearing this, but immediately paused and said in surprise: "In Dongnuan Pavilion?"
Xiao Huangmen responded repeatedly, while Gao Pragmatic frowned slightly.
He knows Zhu Yijun's habits very well: if he is summoning ministers in Xinuang Pavilion, it is mostly government affairs; if he is summoning ministers in Dongnuan Pavilion, it is mostly private matters...
