Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1150 Mrs. Gao

Gao Wushi and Liang Menglong finished discussing the Imperial Guard, it was late, but it was not yet noon, so taking advantage of this spare time, he went back to his office to write various details of the Imperial Guard.

However, God probably likes to joke with him today. He had just ordered someone to study the ink, and someone outside reported that it was Mr. Wu Ge who had come, and asked Gao Gongbao to discuss matters by name.

The elder Wu Ge is Wu Dui. He joined the cabinet from the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is still in charge of the opening of the Ministry of War in the cabinet. Although it is not a routine action for him to "inspect" the Ministry of War, it is not very strange.However, Gao Yushi still felt that it was a bit of a coincidence that he came here, probably not for the matter of Liao Fu, but for the fact that he entered the palace yesterday and proposed to form the Imperial Guard.

However, the result was slightly beyond Gao Yushi's expectations. When he arrived at the small meeting hall, Wu Dui greeted him to sit down as soon as he saw him, and said, "Seeking the truth, Li Song will succeed you as Governor of Liao just now." I’ve already told you, so I won’t repeat it. I have two things to do here today. One is that the emperor uploaded my summons in the morning and said the issue of the Imperial Guards you proposed. I have to come and talk to you two;

The second is to tell you one thing: Liaodong Deputy Commander Cao Yushangshu said that Nurhachi in Jianzhou took advantage of your absence in Liaodong to use troops continuously for several months, and has pushed Nikanwailan to a desperate situation.Nikan Wailan sent three groups of messengers to Cao Yu for help within ten days. Cao Yu advocated accepting it, but Li Chengliang objected. "

Gao Wushi knew that there should be a time difference in this matter as soon as he heard it, and it must have happened during the period when Liao Fu was vacant after he stepped down as Liao Fu.

The reason is obvious, if he was still in office, then Cao Yu would not have to go to the school, just send someone to ask him for instructions, and Li Chengliang would not have the opportunity to come out to express his objection - with the governor in place, the war and the issue are basically not his turn He is the commander-in-chief to express his attitude, let alone a governor as tough as Gao Yushi.

This principle can also be applied to Li Song's succession as governor, but Li Song's succession was just announced this morning, so Cao Yu and Li Chengliang's Shangshu still arrived.

If Gao Yushi wants to support Cao Yu's opinion, there is still a little chance left now, that is, to take advantage of the opportunity that this memorial was submitted during the vacancy period of the Liao Governor, and the power of affairs belongs to the central government, and try to get the cabinet to agree and the emperor Zhu to criticize. After Li Song took over, he supported Li Chengliang, and he could not object.

However, Gao Yushi himself hesitated as to whether or not to support Nikan Wailan.

In terms of ability, Nikan Wailan is really not suitable for "dominating one side", he is a businessman.This person can score [-] to [-] in business, and can barely pass the [-]-point mark in politics in Liaodong, but if he is engaged in military affairs, he will be too hip, and he can give him [-]% at most for his high pragmatism. Points - this is the so-called war five scum.

Although ability is not very good, but in this world, there are many times when ability alone cannot be used to determine a person's position and attitude towards him. Otherwise, what about the group of clans?What about the nobles?
Mere idealists cannot engage in politics.

Although Gao Yushi felt that Nikan Wailan was not capable enough, he knew very well that Nikan Wailan was labeled in the eyes of the Jurchens—Daming's running dog.

"Running dog" is of course not good to hear, but there is a saying that "beating a dog depends on the owner". Nurhachi beat Nikan Wailan for this reason. If Daming, as the "dog owner", didn't respond at all, it would actually cause serious damage. very serious adverse effects.

Daming in history did not handle this matter well. Nikanwailan fled outside the city of the Ming Dynasty, and Daming took him in first, but when Nurhachi came to ask for the "enemy", the Ming Dynasty The border general actually handed over Nikanwailan again, and let Nurhachi deal with him.

What kind of insane operation is this?
Either you just ignore it, saying that this is an internal dispute between you Jurchens, and my Da Ming father is not interested in taking care of your nonsense things-this is not a big problem, and it even seems that Da Ming's father has enough airs and aloof status.

Since you want to take care of it, then you take care of it to the end, what is Nurhachi asking for someone?Why don't I give it?Even if my dog ​​does something wrong, only I can teach him a lesson!If you are not convinced, if you have the ability, try to raise troops now?
Nurhachi now only has more than 3000 soldiers, and the population is pitifully small, and he has not even been able to unify the state. Will he take the lead in rebelling against Ming Dynasty?
So this incident was a typical mistake in the original history, and of course it is best not to make it again now.

If you don't commit the crime again, there are two ways to go: either ignore it directly, or deal with it to the end.

Gao Pragmatism has a psychological bottom line for Nurhachi's development, allowing him to develop to a certain extent, because if he does not develop, he will have no use value, and the most useful value for Jurchen is actually Nurhachi, after all, his ability is the most. powerful.

But this development cannot be endless, because people's ambitions grow with the growth of their strength.Nurhachi has already proved how ambitious he is in the original history. Of course, high pragmatism will not allow him to easily obtain such good development opportunities in history.

At this time, Wu Dui saw that Gao Wushi had gradually recovered from his contemplation, and his eyes began to become clear. He said, "What, have you made a decision? Although this matter has been evacuated to the central government, the Ministry of War must first express its position. Are you Former Fu Liao, your opinion can be said to be the most important."

These words are almost express: You decide, I will not sing against you here.

Liang Menglong didn't speak, but just looked at Gao Yushi, and the meaning was obvious: this matter is up to you to decide.

Since the two bosses expressed their support, Gao Wushi had nothing to hesitate, nodded and said: "Just do what Cao Yu said. Moreover, since this matter is going to be done, it must be done thoroughly, although we certainly can't do it now. Conquer Nurhachi, so as not to ruin the overall situation of the Western Huaidong system, but if you want to keep Nikanwailan, you must keep it to the end, and you can’t sell him because of other things—that will seriously affect the court’s authority in the Jurchen tribes. Credibility and prestige."

Both Wu Dui and Liang Menglong were former border ministers, they could fully understand the meaning of Gao Pragmatism, and they all nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

This matter is over here, and the next thing is to talk about the issue of the Imperial Guard, but that is just to tell Wu Dui what I said to Liang Menglong before, so there is no need to repeat it.

In the afternoon, Gao Yushi really wrote about the establishment and various rules of the Imperial Guard for a while, and then took the time to write a letter to Qi Jiguang, which was to say hello to him in advance.

This kind of thing can't be a surprise attack. After all, he is still in Daning City. If he doesn't say hello to him first, and then he is suddenly called back to Beijing, what will happen to the city defense of Daning City?Although according to Liang Menglong, Yang Siwei can be regarded as a famous general, but Qi Jiguang can't leave such a big mess to others without any preparation, can he?
After finishing all this, it was too late, Gao Yushi left the Yamen of the Ministry of War, boarded his green nun sedan chair and headed north.The guard of honor of Prince Shaobao came out, and it was taken away immediately after leaving Deshengmen, and he changed to a carriage and went straight to Baiyulou.

By the time he rushed back to Baiyulou, there was no trace of the family guards in the large courtyard of Baiyulou. Huang Zhiting was sitting recliningly on a recliner made of pineapple flower wood in the shade of the tree in the front garden, holding a volume of Book, seems to be reading a book.

Seeing Gao Wushi come back, Huang Zhiting immediately smiled, put the scroll in her hand on the armrest and greeted him.

"Husband."

Seeing that she was smiling, Gao Wushi didn't seem to think that what happened in the morning was a big deal at all, so he couldn't help but waved his hand to signal the people around him to disperse, and then dragged her to continue to the shade of the tree where she stayed just now.

The servants of Gao's family consciously moved over another reclining chair, and Gao Yushi sat down on it.

After all the servants dispersed, he said helplessly: "Zhi Ting, are you planning to send a military remonstrance this morning if you don't get any definite news from me?"

Huang Zhiting smiled and said: "What did my husband say, how can I have soldiers now?"

Well, there are actually some. Her identity is there, and this time she returned to Beijing with two hundred wolf soldiers as guards, but only two hundred soldiers...even if they are wolf soldiers, they are not too big in a place like the capital. meaning.

Gao Wushi squinted at her and said, "I'm not in Baiyulou, you have the final say in Baiyulou, how many people here can be called 'soldiers', at least you must know now, right?"

Huang Zhiting giggled, "Yes, I know now."

Gao Wushi slightly raised his eyebrows: "So, you thought it was time to remonstrate?"

Huang Zhiting said with great interest: "My husband, why did you think that I just wanted to remonstrate? Will the emperor really arrest you for no reason?"

Gao Wushi said: "This is exactly what I want to ask - if you didn't think so, then why did you do that?"

"Check it out." Huang Zhiting said with an innocent face: "The Beijing camp has not fought in the capital for a long time, and it has finally become like this. Your family guards are not like the security army, which is always dispatched to suppress rebellion and bandits. The bandits and bandits near the capital were wiped out by them a few years ago, now that they have been doing the math, they may have been at ease for several years? So I want to see if they are still the strong ones that the tea doctors said Soldiers."

"That's it?" Gao Wushi couldn't believe it.

"Well... mostly."

"What about a small part?" Gao Wushi asked again.

"There is also a small part that is really afraid that something has happened to you, so call people over to see first, so as to be prepared."

"Doesn't that still mean that you are worried that the emperor will have some ill will toward me?" Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "It's impossible—at least it's impossible now."

"Perhaps the emperor will not, but others may not." Huang Zhiting's beautiful eyes seemed to be a little teasing: "For example... If the Empress Dowager Cisheng knew that her precious daughter had a 'closed meeting' with my husband in Baiyulou After such a long time, it’s hard to say whether he will do something unexpected in a fit of rage.”

Gao Wushi said in astonishment: "You..."

"Does your husband want to ask my concubine why she knows about this?"

"Uh..." Gao Wushi coughed slightly in embarrassment: "This matter... there are some reasons..."

Huang Zhiting chuckled, and cast a sidelong glance at him: "I didn't intend to ask."

Did you mean to ask?Gao Yushi wished he could roll his eyes.

Gao, who has always been thick-skinned, couldn't help but scratch his head, rubbed his nose, and said, "Let me think about when this matter should start."

Huang Zhiting was not in a hurry, she even smiled, nodded, and sat upright, as if she was about to listen to a story.

Gao Wushi coughed dryly, and said: "The first time I met Princess Yongning was the year after I won the imperial examination and participated in the Spring Festival. I had just arrived in Beijing at that time..."

After a long while, Gao Wushi basically finished the story between him and Princess Yongning—of course, some parts that might cause misunderstanding were skipped.

However, Huang Zhiting is smart, and there is obviously a lack of connection in this story-in fact, there will be these stories between the two of them. There is a premise that Huang Zhiting misses out but Huang Zhiting knows it immediately, that is, Princess Yongning must have something for him. Special friendship, otherwise those things that followed would never have happened.

"Your Highness the Eldest Princess is a hard-working person." Huang Zhiting straightened a strand of hair from her temples, frowned and said, "This is very troublesome."

Gao Wushi was taken aback: "What's so troublesome?"

Huang Zhiting sighed with some distress: "Husband, there is something I have already expressed my attitude towards: for example, taking a concubine or something, I don't really care. If you are with an ordinary woman—or simply say that as long as you are not Princess, it doesn't matter who she is—then even if I know about this matter today, I will definitely persuade you to let her in directly."

"But she is a princess, the eldest princess, how can this be possible?" Huang Zhiting spread her hands, "I just want to earn a good reputation, but I can't help my husband bring a princess back."

Gao Wushi smiled wryly, "I didn't say I would do this either."

"Oh, my husband is indeed a gentleman." Huang Zhiting showed a playful smile: "But Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is a widow. This 'closed door chat' seems..."

"Cough!" Gao Wushi coughed dryly: "Didn't you tell me about this, there is a reason for what happened, and there is a reason for what happened."

Huang Zhiting still followed his words, nodded and said: "Yes, there is a reason for it." Then she sighed again: "But what will the emperor think?"

"Ok?"

Huang Zhiting spread her hands: "The emperor said that, and you have another 'closed-door conversation', does the emperor think that you just chatted with His Highness the eldest princess for so long?"

Gao Wushi was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think about it from this angle.

Huang Zhiting waited for a while, and seeing that he seemed to be in a daze, she sighed: "Husband, your status in the emperor's mind is probably very complicated... I think you should really think about the emperor's current attitude towards you." What is your attitude, and what is worth noting about yourself?"

Gao Wushi nodded blankly.
