Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1138
"They want the post of Governor of Liaodong?" After listening to Zhang Siwei's words, Gao Wushi asked in surprise: "Is there any Wen Shuai worth mentioning under Xinxue?"

Wenshuai means a literati as a commander-in-chief, that is, a governor and governor who can command troops.For a long time, except for Wang Shouren himself, there is no Wenshuai in the school of mind that is particularly worth mentioning so far, and the few Wenshuai who can fight are not pure mind school.

For example, although Liang Menglong is a student of Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng is a student of Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng's own governance philosophy is far from "heart learning". Come in the faction camp.

In fact, the division of "heart learning" and "practical learning" in the political circle of Ming Dynasty has changed a lot from ten years ago. It is no longer based on the teacher-student relationship and geographical origin, but on the basis of governance philosophy.

If you have to put it simply, it is probably that the School of Mind insists on "moral supremacy", while the School of Reality insists on "practice first"; And the law changes from time to time."

Seriously speaking, although Xinxue has the positive significance of opposing sages and idols and destroying the authority of classics, it advocates that "there is nothing outside the mind, nothing outside the mind, no reason outside the mind, and no righteousness outside the mind" [Note: from Wang Shouren's "With Wang Chunfu Book". ]'s "Four Nothings" eventually turned into an empty style of study that dominated the entire academic world, and then became an official style and social atmosphere.

The "Four Nothings" did not advocate people to understand and transform society, but led people to the wrong path of escaping from reality and deviating from practice, which opened the floodgates for the nihilism of the later mind-learners.These postgraduates of the Wang family advocated "ready-made conscience" and "taking no-mind as the sect", and advocated meditation with concentration of the mind, emptiness and few desires, which made the study of the mind increasingly fall into a desperate situation of emptiness and crudeness.

Even if this style of study of abandoning facts and talking about it appeared in a prosperous age, it would lead to serious consequences, not to mention that it was even worse in the late Ming Dynasty when various crises caused "complications". The crisis is getting worse.

The real school is against it.In fact, Gao Gong had studied Yangming's philosophy of mind when he was a teenager, but after he entered the official career, he witnessed the empty morale and political corruption, and gradually realized the wrongness of the mind.

Therefore, he repeatedly proposed to get rid of "false formulas", "old formulas", "normal formulas", "old formulas", "old habits", "vain texts", and "contractual theories", especially the "eight evils" in politics. The bad habits are even more abhorrent, and I am determined to get rid of them completely.

Under the covert escort of Gao Pragmatism, Gao Gong was able to carry out reforms smoothly, and put forward the reform program of "repairing the inside and fighting against the outside world, and feeding enough soldiers", "to reverse the decadence, and to revise a pragmatic government" [Note: from Gao Arch the reform goals of "Government Book Answers · Answers to Chen Yuye Books in the same year".

He also clearly put forward all practical policies, emphasizing following the "truths", doing "practical things", and implementing "practical government", and opposed all superficial articles and superficial trends.

Different from the backward minds who only know about general administration and administration, the Practical School "formed" by Gao Gong has always been permeated with a distinct practical spirit in terms of talents, military affairs, rule of law and financial management, such as paying attention to "Comprehensive verification of names and facts" and "verification of names and facts"; Advocate "Take the truth as the voice" and oppose "Take the voice as the truth"; Strive to "law must be valued" and "crimes must be held accountable"; Advocate wealth management, " benefit the people” and so on.

In short, the biggest difference between the school of mind and the school of practice is that the school of mind focuses on "talking", while the school of practice focuses on "doing".

Because of this difference in governance philosophy, the focus of the two parties' political struggles is also different.The positions that the Practical School attaches more importance to are mainly the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War in the center.The School of Mind, on the other hand, pays special attention to the affiliation of the Ministry of Rites, and is also very concerned about the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As for localities, the School of Reality paid special attention to the towns and coastal provinces in northern Xinjiang, while the School of Mind paid more attention to the large agricultural provinces, such as Huguang and Jiangxi.Of course, the Real School also wanted to get involved in Nanzhili, Zhejiang and other places, but those places were almost the headquarters of the Heart School, so the Real School had been in operation for so many years, and only a governor Yingtian was stuffed in.

Having said that, it is clear where Gao Pragmatism’s surprise came from—when did the Mind School become interested in paying attention to the ownership of the post of Governor of Liaodong?Can their people do a good job in this position?
Zhang Siwei shook his head: "To tell you the truth, I am also curious why they are like this, but you know, Shen Rumo and I can't talk about these things directly. Both sides are playing tricks, and some things can only be guessed. They Why this is the case, I have no way of knowing, the only thing that is certain is that if they agree to add Ziyu (Zhang Xueyan) and Junze (Wu Dui) to the cabinet, they must transfer the position of Liao Fu to them."

Gao Wushi frowned, and said in a deep thought: "Uncle, my nephew has a big layout in Liaodong. If I leave now, they will mess up some things I arranged, how can it be good?"

"What are the layouts?" Zhang Siwei asked.

This topic is very big, Gao Yushi can only briefly describe it, and then said: "A few generals are fine. After all, Governor Ji Liao is still in our hands, so they should not be implicated. But my plan for the development of Liaodong Just hang up, not to mention the girl's school promised to Princess Yongning."

"Don't think about the girl's school. You think everyone is Li Zhi? Those people will not agree to it if they are killed." Zhang Siwei said: "But I think the issue of corn and tussah can be discussed tomorrow. I can mention this to Shen Rumo again."

As soon as Gao Wushi heard his uncle's tone, he knew that he was planning to make this deal in his heart. After all, it would be a good deal for the two elders to be replaced by the governor of Liaodong, no matter how you look at it?

He didn't make a sound for a while, and when Zhang Siwei saw this, he took the initiative to ask: "Although they said they were going to leave this Liaofu, they didn't say they were going to remove you. I think Shen Rumo's words are not what he said. You're being polite... why don't you ask him what he plans to offer in exchange for your resignation?"

Gao Wushi snorted softly: "I've ruined my big business, what can I get in exchange? Will he give me the Nanjing Military Department or the Nanjing Household Department?"

The Nanjing Ministry of War is the head of the three giants in Nanjing, so it must not be handed over to the next generation of leaders of the pragmatic school of high pragmatism.

As for the Nanjing household department, although this position is not as prominent as the Nanjing military department, it is actually very important because the Nanjing household department also has real power.What is particularly noteworthy is that it is in charge of taxation in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Huguang, and it is well known that these provinces are all rich provinces.

The last time Zhang Siwei managed to find an opportunity to start collecting a little business tax in Nanzhili, and there was almost a quarrel within the Mind School. Now let them give up the Nanjing household department, especially to Gao Yushi. For sure: impossible.

Of course, Zhang Siwei also knew his bottom line, so he smiled wryly and said: "There is no need to mention these two, let's change one."

Gao Wushi was a little unhappy. Anyway, the person in front of him was not only the chief assistant of the imperial court, but also his uncle. He simply spread his hands and said, "Nephew didn't think about it, why don't uncle look at it."

"You are the crown prince, and you are a second-rank official, why are you so petty?" Zhang Siwei didn't expect Gao Wushi to answer like this, and said dumbfoundingly: "I have an idea... Shen Zhonghua's handling ability I don’t know if it’s reliable or not, I want you to be the servant of the household department, and help him watch over it. I don’t think anyone can do better than you in the affairs of the household department.”

Unexpectedly, Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "My nephew doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the household department for the time being, because if my nephew goes to manage the household department, the things to be done are too big, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate now. If you have to go back to Beijing, My nephew would rather go to the Ministry of War—anyway, my nephew’s job is now in the Ministry of War.”

"Go to the Ministry of War?" Zhang Siwei frowned slightly, and asked, "The Ministry of War is now under the system of four servants. Which one do you want to take care of?"

Gao Wushi said indifferently: "Go and assist in the military affairs of the Beijing camp."

"what?"

As soon as Gao Wushi said this, Zhang Siwei couldn't help being surprised: "You want to take care of the mess in the Beijing camp?"

"Because it's a mess, someone has to clean it up." Gao Wushi said in a calm and unhurried manner, "Besides, the matter of the Beijing camp, no matter whether it is done sooner or later, it must be done anyway, and if I go, I will do it anyway." not come down..."

Zhang Siwei's heart moved, and he thought to himself: Ah, that's right, all the nobles in the Beijing camp are home with the country, and it's useless for anyone else to go, and they don't need to give anyone face at all.But Qiuzhen is different, he is the 'leader' of the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance... Could it be that the matter that has not been resolved for more than 200 years should be resolved by Qiuzhen?I don't seek a complete solution either, as long as there are 40 to [-] capable fighters in the '[-]' Beijing camp, I'm afraid Daming's situation will be much better. "

Thinking of this, Zhang Siwei finally made up his mind, nodded and said: "Well, since you have this heart, I can't refuse whether it is public or private. I will have a good talk with Shen Rumo when I am on duty tomorrow. Set it up for you."

Gao Wushi didn't really want to give up the position of Liaofu, so he didn't stand up to thank him after hearing this, but just nodded and said: "Uncle, the problem of the Beijing camp is very complicated, and we may need some help at that time, especially the Ministry of Household Affairs. aspect……"

"Don't worry, I will greet Shen Zhonghua in advance." Zhang Siwei said, and added: "I just hope he will take it to heart in the future."

Well, what these words mean is that I don’t know how long I can continue to work as the first assistant, and if Shen Li doesn’t listen to my greetings in the future, there is nothing I can do.

Gao Yushi hesitated to speak, opened his mouth, and finally was too lazy to say much.Let's talk about the future.

The nephew and uncle negotiated fairly smoothly, but unexpectedly, there seemed to be a dispute over this matter with the Mind School. For ten days in a row, Shen Shixing still failed to give an answer, and Zhang Siwei was so anxious that he almost broke the contract.

Of course Zhang Siwei's anxiety is easy to understand. His old father is seriously ill and no one knows how long he can last. It is equivalent to saying that he may ask Ding You at any time. It's hard to say if it can't be implemented smoothly.

As a result, until that night, there was no good news from Shen Shihang, but another good news came - Huang Zhiting arrived in Beijing.

Gao Yushi used to be Huang Zhiting's "Shangfeng", so of course it was not easy to go to greet him in person, but he soon received a message from the emperor, asking him to take leave immediately and not to appear in tomorrow's Xiaochao.

Gao Yushi knew that this was obviously because Zhu Yijun was afraid of affecting his own reputation—in case Gao Yushi himself was present tomorrow, even if Huang Zhiting asked the emperor for a marriage, it stands to reason that Gao Yushi should stand up and oppose it, and the reason must be "" no parental order".

In this way, if Zhu Yijun still insists on forcibly giving the marriage, it will appear very unethical, but it is forcing Gao Pragmatic to be "unfilial", which is not a good thing for the emperor.

But if Gao Yushi himself was not present, the matter would be much simpler, and the emperor could act as if he was overjoyed and happy to see the success, and agreed to it.

This is a personal matter of a highly pragmatic individual. It is difficult for outsiders to say anything. Once the emperor speaks, it becomes a "fait accompli". Everyone does not need to bear any infamy. It's just a matter of mandarin ducks, it doesn't hurt.

So the next morning, although Gao Yushi got up early, he kept turning left and right in his study, unable to calm down at all, and kept worrying.

He was worried about whether someone would jump out and do something bad, and also worried about whether Huang Zhiting would not be able to withstand the psychological pressure if she said in front of so many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty that she would "gift marriage" to him, and so on.

It wasn't until noon that the servants rushed to send news that the emperor had sent Huang Mengyu, the chief eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, to announce the will of the marriage in person, and Gao Wushi was deeply relieved.

But when Huang Mengyu came in person, Gao Wushi knew that he was still "Double Happiness" today.

After setting up the outfits for receiving the decree, Gao Pragmatic respectfully knelt down and listened to Huang Mengyu read the imperial decree.Who knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, Gao Yushi discovered that this was not an ordinary "imperial decree", but a "regime" - usually "regime" is not used until the level of imperial orders.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, said:

I only accept the chastity talisman and honor the treasure calendar, but the celebration of the patriarchal society's laying down is the honor of my neighbor Yi Dai.Emphasis on scriptures and draperies is suitable for occasional gatherings; and the joint stage seats are just capitalizing on talents.The dependents are both prosperous and praiseworthy.

The above edict is actually divided into two parts: the husband and the wife. Its content is simply: after the first round of boasting, Gao Yushi was reassigned as the left servant of the Ministry of War and the assistant manager of the Jingying military administration; Titled and sealed as the second-rank madam.Although the wedding was not held, but according to Jinkou Yuyu's words, they are already husband and wife, and they have been ordered directly.

Gao Wushi took a deep breath, and said loudly, "Minister Gao Wushi took the decree to thank you. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
