Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1148

Sometimes Zhu Yijun was quite prescient. For example, he predicted that Gao Yushi would not be able to leave the palace until very late tonight—the monarch and his ministers had finished their "calling together", and it was already [-]:[-].

The second quarter of Haishi is equivalent to ten o'clock in the evening in later generations. Of course, the palace gate has been closed so late.If it weren't for Zhu Yijun's greeting in advance, Gao Yushi would probably only be able to sleep on the floor in the Wenhua Palace tonight. After all, there is no such thing as a "guest room" in the palace, and even if there is an imperial couch in the Wenhua Palace, Gao Yushi would not be able to sleep place.

As for going to sleep in the harem... 360-degree backflips for three and a half weeks to die?

In the end, Gao Wushi left the palace from Donghua Gate under the escort of a group of eunuchs from the Supervisor of Rites. However, the curfew had already been set and the gate of the city had already been closed. The No. [-] Scholar in the square made a makeshift night.

During the honeymoon, there was a night out because of business. Gao Yushi lay on the bed and was touched by himself. Then he felt very sorry for Huang Zhiting. He kept thinking about whether he should make up for it, but in the end he didn’t know. When did I fall asleep in a daze.

In the early morning of the next day, a servant sent by Baiyulou said that he was ordered by his wife to ask what happened to the master last night and why he didn't go back to Baiyulou to rest.

Gao Wushi asked him to go back and report, saying that he had gone to the palace for a temporary matter, and talked with the emperor Bingzhuye very late, because the city gate was closed, so he could not leave the city, and he would explain the specific situation to his wife after he went back tonight.

The servant obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is."

Gao Wushi was a little surprised and asked, "What else?"

The family member said: "Madam thought that something happened to the capital, and secretly mobilized the family guards to gather in the courtyard of Baiyulou early in the morning. When the younger one came over, he saw that the Xinzhai campus had already quietly counted gunpowder, bullets and other things. "

Gao Wushi was startled, and hastily took off a jade pendant from the imperial court hanging around his waist and handed it to the servant, saying: "Hurry up and ask Madam to disperse you first, she knows this piece of jade. It’s a token—be careful to keep it safe, it’s a royal gift, if it’s damaged, you’ll be in big trouble.”

The family member took the jade pendant carefully and took a look. It turned out to be a piece of white jade panlong ring pendant.This piece of jade pendant is white and moist, and the whole is ringed with a dragon.The dragon has two horns, and the dragon's hair flutters backwards and on the left and right sides, and the hair is thin and regular.The head of the dragon has raised eyebrows, long beards on the left and right, and the mouth is opened in the shape of a pearl.The dragon body is coiled, with five claws and a bald tail, surrounded by curly grass and cloud patterns.The side of the back of the ring wears a raised square arch, with high relief cloud patterns on it.

You don't need to look closely at anything else, just because the dragon on the jade pendant is called "five-clawed dragon", you know that it must be bestowed by the emperor, otherwise it would be an overreach.Huang Zhiting did recognize this piece of jade pendant, Gao Yushi had always carried it with her when she went to Liaodong the last time, because it was rewarded by the emperor after the Monan War.

Although many "dragon-like" patterns were awarded to many officials in the Ming Dynasty, such as flying fish and bullfighting are all dragon-like.Not to mention Gao Yushi's python robe, which is in the shape of a dragon except for the absence of the fifth claw, but Zhu Yijun's piece of jade itself belongs to the emperor himself, and he took it directly from his waist and gave it to Gao Yushi. The honor is very unusual, Gao Yushi usually takes it with him very carefully, if it wasn't for Huang Zhiting's actions that were a little too scary this time, he wouldn't have brought it out for his family to take it back.

In fact, the meaning of taking out this piece of jade is not simple.

First of all, Gao Yushi estimated that Huang Zhiting might have thought that something happened to her, or that she might even need to be rescued, otherwise she would not gather troops quietly, so she had to bring a weighty token to prove that she was doing well now, and this piece of jade was obviously qualified ——If he was caught, then this piece of jade would definitely be taken back, and its presence meant that he was fine.

Secondly, Huang Zhiting's reaction was a bit too intense. Gao Wushi felt that she might have stayed in the "land outside the culture" for a long time, and she was a little unclear about the seriousness of gathering troops in the capital, so the servant brought this jade back to be qualified to represent Himself—even if Huang Zhiting still had doubts, Gao Mo and the family guards did not dare to touch this piece of jade.

After Jia Ding left, although Gao Yushi was in a state of mind, he could only go to the Ministry of War to do some research.Officials in the Ming Dynasty were still very strict on the issue of "going to work", because the rules were all set by Zhu Yuanzhang.The system established by Zhu Yuanzhang earlier, only had three days off throughout the year, which was a bit too harsh. Later, Chengzu Zhu Di relaxed it a little, and gave ten days off a year, and "made it a permanent rule".

Obviously there is no holiday today, and if it is not a holiday, he will be on duty, so no matter how worried Gao Wushi is about the situation in Baiyulou, he will not be able to go back.

As for why he didn't ask for leave, hehe, Zhu Yuanzhang's rules are not so humane!If you want to ask for leave, unless your parents who live with you in the capital die suddenly, you will have to be too sick to get out of bed, and the latter must have a doctor from the Imperial Hospital who will come to see you. How can Gao Wushi ask for leave?

Gao Wushi arrived at his office, and was about to write down the detailed rules for the formation and training of the imperial guards. Suddenly, a Jinshi who was on duty came to report, saying that the chief minister had invited him.

Liang Menglong and Gao Yushi have long been allies, and it is very common for him to "please".

At this time, Liang Menglong seemed to have arrived not long ago, but two cups of fragrant tea had already been brewed on the table, which smelled like the top-quality "Ti Pian" of Lu'an Guapian.

"Da Sima's place is not only fragrant with pen and ink, but also with a strong tea fragrance." Gao Wushi knocked lightly on the door and said with a smile.

"Seeking truth is here, come here, come in and sit down." Liang Menglong stood up to greet him with a smile, and the two sat down in front of the tea table.

Gao Wushi took the initiative to ask: "What is the benefit of Da Sima calling the students?"

Liang Menglong was a Jinshi in Jiajing for 32 years, and Gao Yushi's self-proclaimed "student" is of course no problem.Liang Menglong also knew that Gao Wu would not exchange pleasantries when talking about serious matters, so he followed his habit and got straight to the point.

He said with a serious face: "Just received the news that Liao Fu has settled down."

Gao Wushi's heart moved, but he didn't reveal anything, he just nodded slightly and asked, "Who is that?"

"Li Song." Liang Menglong narrowed his eyes slightly.

Huh?
Gao Wushi frowned slightly, but immediately stretched it out, and said with interest: "This Shen Yuanfu's same year, has finally been taken seriously by the School of Mind? Really gratifying."

"It's just the best among the mediocre." Liang Menglong pouted slightly, and said, "It's not easy among them to find someone who can do a good job in Liaofu. I have been working for more than ten years, at least I am familiar with the situation in Liaodong. I think that Shen Yaoquan really has no tiger ministers in his hands, so he has to send a dog to guard the household. Now, I only hope that they will not ruin the overall situation of Liaozuo. "

In terms of the ethos of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, these words are actually a bit harsh, but the two sides have different positions. In fact, these words are just talking about things and people. Li Song's level seems to Liang Menglong. "The best of the mean".It is true that Shen Shixing used him as Liao governor because he did not have a "tiger minister" in his hand, so he had no choice but to pull out the general from the dwarf, and the general would do it.

However, Gao Wushi is not worried that Li Song, the "dog who guards the house", can't even keep the gate well. He is worried about another thing.

"When the student first went to Liaodong, he found out that Li Zijie and Uncle Ning Yuan had a very close friendship. Da Sima thought that Shen Yuanfu used him, and did he also take this into consideration?"

Liang Menglong nodded and said: "To be honest, to tell you the truth, this is what I am most worried about now. I always feel that since you cut Li Chengliang's face in Liaodong, Li Chengliang seems to have stepped into the threshold of Shen Yaoquan It's gone." He paused for a moment, and said in a deep thought: "Does Shen Yaoquan want to use this to control the entire Liaodong, and then compete with us for the victory of destroying Yuan?"

Gao Wushi said: "If I take Chahar in the Ming Dynasty, the two directions where I can mobilize troops are nothing but the second town of Jiliao. Jizhen and the others must not intervene now, so it is logical to want to open the situation from the east of Liaodong."

When Gao Wushi said this, Liang Menglong couldn't help shaking his head: "It's a good thing. When you were in Liaodong, you transferred a few generals to them. Didn't this help them instead?"

Gao Wushi smiled: "If you help anyone, you will help Daming, it doesn't matter."

Liang Menglong raised his eyebrows lightly: "Then what matters?"

"Pearls cast in secret, beautiful jade covered in dust, that's what matters." Gao Wushi sighed lightly: "Uncle Ning Yuan has abilities, but sometimes he is too selfish. Students are afraid that he won't use those few at all." People from other towns’, suppress them instead, or don’t give them a chance.”

Liang Menglong thought for a while, and asked: "If Li Chengliang wants to fight himself, according to the truth, can he do it?"

Gao Wushi said: "It depends on how much force Jizhen will use, and how much force he is willing to use."

Liang Menglong asked: "For Ji Town, if we follow the previous plan, how about it?"

Gao Wushi thought for a while, and said, "If Uncle Ning Yuan is willing to give up his [-] elite, and is not afraid of loss, he will fight without hesitation. The students think they can still fight."

Liang Menglong laughed, shook his head and said: "Based on what I know about Li Chengliang, he will never be able to do this in his life - without fear of loss, let go and fight."

Gao Wushi frowned immediately, but he didn't refute Liang Menglong's words, because he also felt that Li Chengliang might not be so "selfless", which can be basically concluded from his previous performance.

Liang Menglong smiled again: "If you really want the Li family to fight this battle honestly, it's not impossible."

Gao Wushi was a little surprised and asked, "What way?"

Liang Menglong turned his mouth towards the west, and said: "Transfer Li Rusong to the Liaodong General Army to replace his father."

Oh, son for father.

Gao Wushi thought for a while, and it can be done. After all, Li Rusong and his father have really different temperaments. Although this man has a bad temper, he is willing to fight at his own cost. It can be seen that the blood of the Liaodong Army was drained.

In terms of personality, he might really be a straightforward guy, unlike his father who was a birth worker.If Li Chengliang had been the one to fight the war to aid Korea, he might have gone crazy and asked for help as long as he lost [-] elites. Unlike Li Rusong, who was as honest as Li Rusong, he gritted his teeth and carried it on his own. In the end, it was Zhu Yijun who couldn't stand it anymore and gave it to him. Called reinforcements.

Of course, this is also a sign that Li Rusong, as the "second generation", cares more about face, while Li Chengliang, as the "first generation", definitely cares more about the inside.

"Li Rusong can be used, but... what about Uncle Ning Yuan?" Gao Wushi asked.

Liang Menglong didn't answer this question, but instead asked, "Seeking truth, are you really planning to do this?"

Gao Wushi didn't understand for a moment: "What?"

"If the Li family really votes for Shen Yaoquan, and we fight this battle according to the way we imagined just now, then the Xinxue faction will be able to compete with us in side affairs in the future."

This is a very real problem.

Gao Wushi thought carefully for a while, and then slowly said: "If Da Sima wants to ask the students, the students still think that the overall situation of the court should come first."

"Good! You are worthy of being the successor of Duke Gao Wenzheng!" Liang Menglong clapped his hands in praise, but after the praise, he said again: "However, I don't think this matter will be so easy."

Gao Wushi said: "I ask Da Sima to give me advice."

"I can't talk about advice." Liang Menglong said: "To be honest, you are dedicated to the public, which is indeed commendable, but others may not be like you. You think that replacing Li Rusong to Liaodong and replacing Li Chengliang, this battle is considered a victory." Is it safe? I don’t think so, because there is a more critical issue that I didn’t have to worry about before, but now it has arisen.”

After all, Gao Yushi is also a person who is good at calculation. He was distracted by Liang Menglong just now, and now he has come to his senses, thinking: "What Da Sima means is that even if Li Rusong is able to fight and is willing to fight, but he But not the one who decides whether to fight or not?"

Liang Menglong said gratifiedly: "It's comfortable to talk to Qiuzhen, and the meaning is self-evident without saying anything. It's true, no matter how willing Li Rusong is to fight this battle, but in the end, he can't decide whether to fight or not - the emperor can certainly decide , but the emperor also has to rely on the judgment of the frontier ministers to weigh the profit and loss. So, if Li Zijie thinks that Liaodong is still unbeatable, do you think the emperor will be willing to take the elites of the two most important towns in the world to fight against the waves?"

Gao Wushi frowned and said, "If that's the case, our Ministry of War will naturally play a role and resolutely lead the battle."

Liang Menglong smiled, and asked softly, "What if Yuanfu objects?"

Fuck, forget that now the cabinet is not the real school to decide!
Gao Wushi suddenly realized that he had long been used to the thinking of "the cabinet supports me", but he forgot that the current chief assistant was no longer Gao Gong, Guo Pu, or Zhang Siwei, but Shen Shixing—this is a political enemy!
What is a political enemy?If I support it, he will probably oppose it. This is called a political enemy!

Seeing Gao Wushi's expression changed, Liang Menglong smiled slightly: "Do you really understand?"

Gao Wushi's face was ashen, he exhaled foul breath, collected himself, and asked, "From this point of view, isn't this battle going to be forcibly suppressed? Can Da Sima have any clever strategies to change it?"

Liang Menglong chuckled, and said, "I've been thinking about this since the first day I entered the Shufu (Military Department), and now I finally understand one thing: if Shen Yuanfu wants to lead the battle, there is a condition that must be met."

"What conditions?" Gao Wushi asked.

Liang Menglong said: "The condition is to let Shen Yaoquan feel that if this battle is won, their contribution will be greater than ours."
