When Gao Pragmatic walked into the bedroom, he discovered that Huang Zhiting was not in the bedroom, but in the study room of the suite of the large master bedroom. So he walked into the study again, only to find Huang Zhiting standing in front of the glass window, looking thoughtfully at Shichahai in the early spring evening.
Huang Zhiting's face did not show the anger or aggrievedness expected by Gao Pragmatic. Instead, she was a little confused, or at a loss as to what to do. This surprised Gao Yingshi. After all, Huang Zhiting's "discourtesy" just now should mean that she was angry in the palace, and based on her character, there is a high probability that she would not stay overnight - she would explode on the spot.
Therefore, Gao Pangshi was already mentally prepared when he came. On the one hand, he was ready to appease his wife, and on the other hand, he was ready to consider the aftermath of her most likely "misbehavior" in the harem.
However, Huang Zhiting's current state left him a little confused, and he whispered with confusion: "Zhiting?"
Huang Zhiting turned her head and saw that she was Gao Pragmatic. She lowered her head slightly and said, "Master, I'm rude to you. Please go and have a meal by yourself."
Gao pragmatic ignored this, Shi Shiran walked up to her, deliberately looked down at her due to his height, but asked in a very gentle tone: "What happened? You are so angry that you don't even want to eat." ?”
Huang Zhiting has not experienced the feeling of being looked down upon at such a close range for many years - oh, of course, this has rarely happened before, so it should be said like this: Gao Pragmatic has not made such a move for a long time.
Huang Zhiting naturally doesn't understand psychology, but Gao Pragmatic understands it to a certain extent. He knew that such an action would naturally create a sense of oppression on people, and when the person facing this sense of oppression clearly knew that he had no ill intentions toward them, the sense of oppression would turn into a feeling of protection.
Sure enough, Huang Zhiting subconsciously leaned into his arms and whispered: "If something big happens, what will the master do?"
Gao Jingshi raised his eyebrows slightly, but immediately shook his head and said calmly: "Even if you burn down the palace, I don't think it is a big deal."
"ah?"
Obviously, Gao Pragmatic's answer was beyond Huang Zhiting's expectation. She couldn't help but raise her head and stared at Gao Jingshi's eyes seriously for a while. Seeing Gao Jingshi's calm face, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "What I said is really surprising to me."
"What's so surprising?" Gao pragmatic continued in an almost cold tone: "I believe you are not a willful person, so if you really do something, someone must have deceived you first. Since If that’s the case, then I have nothing to be polite about... Do you really think that someone who is superior to me doesn’t have Nilian?”
When Huang Zhiting heard this, she felt that all the grievances she had suffered today disappeared at this moment. A warm current rose from her chest. She stretched out her hands as if unconsciously, hugged Gao Qingshi's waist, and at the same time rubbed him with her cheeks. chest, whispering: "How lucky am I to have a husband like this?"
Gao pragmatic smiled, stretched out his hand and patted her back gently, and said: "The married couple are one, so there is no need to say more. But now, should you tell me what happened? I don't know. Want to make some preparations?"
Huang Zhiting did not raise her head, but just said "Huh" and said: "I guess there is no need to prepare anything right now... Well, the Empress Dowager Cisheng hopes that Gao Luo will be the prince's companion in a few years. She told me about it today . I think she wants you to take the initiative to talk to the emperor."
When Huang Zhiting said this, Gao Pragmatic immediately guessed what happened in the palace at that time.
How should I put it, after so many years, the political skills of the Empress Dowager Cisheng still have not improved much. Although the idea itself is not bad, her method of promoting this matter is really too rough.
According to Gao's pragmatic thinking, there is no need to tell Huang Zhiting about such a matter at all. Just let the eldest princess tell me no? Even if it doesn't work, it wouldn't be a bad idea for the Queen to send someone to deliver the news.
In the end, neither the eldest princess nor the queen sent someone to talk about this matter, but it was the Empress Dowager Cisheng who mentioned it to Huang Zhiting. This could only be because the eldest princess felt uncomfortable speaking to him, and the queen felt that this matter Here, she was on the side of giving favors and did not have to rush to mention it, so the Empress Dowager Cisheng spoke - talking about this matter in a gifting manner.
From the perspective of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, she should really think that this matter is a gift to Gao Luo. After all, Gao Luo is indeed his son, and once Gao Luo becomes the prince's companion in the future, it will be a great gift to him. Pragmatic influence is helpful - just like it was a good thing for Gao Gong when he was Zhu Yijun's prince's companion.
But there is a problem here: although it is true that Gao Luo's role as the prince's accompaniment is beneficial to Gao Pragmatic, it is a bit unkind to talk about it with Huang Zhiting in a patronizing tone.
It turns out that Gao Luo got this apparently justifiable identity because of Huang Zhiting's endorsement. It was her daughter who was kind to you, the Empress Dowager. Now you, the Cisheng Queen Mother, have arranged a future for your grandson for the sake of your daughter, and you actually ask her to convey it in a condescending and condescending tone. No woman would be happy about it.
Especially judging from Huang Zhiting's character, her first reaction at that time was probably "being provoked". In this case, the situation between the two parties at that time should at least be tense and ending on bad terms.
Gao pragmatic quickly grasped the key point in this matter and asked: "What did Yongning say?"
"She's not doing well." Huang Zhiting was silent for a moment, sighed slightly, and said: "I contradicted the Queen Mother, and then the Queen reconciled, and I resigned, and the eldest princess also followed out and asked me I apologized and explained."
Gao Pragmatic breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yongning himself didn't conflict with Zhiting, this matter would be easy to handle. As for the Queen Empress taking the initiative to smooth things over at the first opportunity, this is a reasonable thing. After all, the Queen Empress has such a character and style. She may not be said to have any advanced political skills, but at least she can tell the difference. Good and bad.
"That's it." Gao Pingshi nodded slightly and said, "That's okay. Some trivial matters are not worth mentioning. Let's go have a meal first."
Huang Zhiting tilted her head and asked: "The Empress Dowager Cisheng is the emperor's biological mother. As long as she files a complaint with the emperor, the nature of this matter is very serious. How can it be okay?"
"Do you have to make it clear?" Gao Pingshi pinched her cheek and said, "Firstly, judging from the attitudes of the Queen and Yongning, they will definitely smooth things over for you; secondly, although the Queen Mother is a political person, Her skills are very rough, but there are still big rights and wrongs, and she will not be stupid enough to force the emperor to conflict with me; thirdly, even if there are accidents in the above two points, and the matter eventually reaches the emperor... then nothing will happen, because The emperor will find a way to cover up the past."
In fact, Huang Zhiting could see the first two points, but she was quite surprised by the last point. She said in surprise: "How can I be sure that the emperor will take the initiative to cover it up? Some time ago, the emperor seemed to have some suspicions about the emperor... or rather Worried."
"That's why he will cover it up." Gao Pragmatic said calmly: "To put it bluntly, the emperor was taught by me to a certain extent. If he really has some suspicion and worry about me, then he will be even more He will not provoke me over this trivial matter, because he has not made any targeted arrangements for me so far, and irritating me now will only alert the enemy."
Having said this, Gao Pragmatic snorted softly and said: "I know there are many people in the outside world who think that the reason why the emperor became the resurgence king of the Ming Dynasty is mainly due to good luck. So before the Ming Dynasty, my third uncle was the first to establish the trend, and later My mentor, uncle, and even Shen Changzhou Gong Xiao Guicao have been with me for more than 20 years, so that the reform has continued.
Finally, I was the one who ensured consecutive victories in all previous wars. Externally, Annan was restored, Burma surrendered, the Jurchens kowtowed, Monan became a vassal, the remaining Yuan escaped, the Japanese arm was broken, and Korea was annexed. Internally, Ningxia Kuai bowed to the head, Bozhou The Yang thief set himself on fire, the Jiangnan Cao army begged for punishment... All big battles and small battles were invincible.
Many people think that the emperor's performance in these matters is mediocre and that he is just delegating power and appointing people. Who wouldn't do this? But if you really think so, you are totally wrong! A king does not have to take over the overall situation and do everything personally. He only needs to choose the person in charge and create conditions for him to do things.
This is just like every time I lead an army on an expedition, when have you ever seen me giving detailed instructions to my generals on how to command their troops? I always just tell them what to do and what to do. As for how to do it, that is their own business. As for me, I only need to create the conditions for them to do all this before the war, such as ensuring smooth flow of food roads, ensuring sufficient use of guns and so on.
This is true for being a commander, and it is also true for being an emperor. It is nothing more than discovering talents, cultivating talents, making good use of talents, and giving talents the space and conditions needed to display their talents. Has the Emperor done these things? He did it, so he has learned the way to be a king.
As for the means... Haha, in fact, when he began to feel my 'threat' and no longer blindly believed in me, his thoughts as a qualified emperor had matured.
Of course, this alone can only be said to be maturing. Only when he clearly felt threatened, but because I had no real action, so he did not take any real action, but only quietly assured me that I still had opponents in the government, did it mean that he had indeed matured.
If there are similarities between being a king and being a commander in the previous things, then this is the difference between being a king and being a commander. As a commander, you do not necessarily need to ensure that the strength of your subordinates is balanced at all times, because on top of the commander's power, there is the monarch's power. The monarch's power can ensure that the commander's generals will not dare to disobey orders even if they have varying strengths.
However, there is no other power than the monarch, and the emperor can only stabilize his position by balancing the power of his ministers. Only when you understand this, do this well, and at the same time allow ministers to show their talents can you be considered a mature emperor.
Under the current situation of the court, although the Ming Dynasty's ZTE has taken shape, Can Yuan is still alive, and Feng Chan has just begun preparations. There is no way that the emperor will fall out with me, a 'famous official of ZTE', now. What's more... he has not made any preparations to capture me now, so how could he have a conflict with me at will? "
Huang Zhiting looked at Gao Pragmatic, who looked calm, and suddenly sighed: "Isn't there any friendship between monarch and minister here?"
Gao Pragmatic said calmly: "The friendship between monarch and minister naturally exists, but it is only worth mentioning when the goals of monarch and minister are the same."
Huang Zhiting wanted to ask, "What if one day the goals are inconsistent?" But she immediately realized that this was a bit silly and inappropriate, so she swallowed it back and finally just said: "Then... let's eat first. "
Gao pragmatically nodded, led her and turned away.
