Chapter 1175: Imperial Court Affairs (Imperial Court Office) (Part [-])
Although Gao Wushi said "sweep the couch to welcome you", Shen Shixing obviously wouldn't spend the night in his Baiyulou, otherwise it would spread that the two schools of mind learning and practical learning would murmur, which is really not beautiful.Now that the business has been discussed, Shen Shixing got up to leave after the dinner.

Gao Wushi was not as aggressive and polite as he was during the negotiation just now—it could even be said that he respectfully sent his "teacher" all the way out of the house.When Shen Shihang's green nun sedan chair was almost out of sight, he turned around and went back, showing a respectful and humble appearance as a disciple.

On the way back to the city, Shen Shixing had already heard the report of Gao Yushi's actions just now, which made him even more uneasy.

In Shen Shixing's view, Gao Wushi is really too difficult to deal with.Although ordinary young people are full of drive, they also have obvious weaknesses. Most of them are complacent in good times and decadent in adversity.However, neither of these two situations occurred in Gao Yushi.

Since Gao Yushi's "Xiaoge Lao" period, Shen Shixing has been his teacher and has observed Gao Yushi many times.At that time, Gao Yushi used his reputation as a child prodigy to become the accompanying student of the prince. He was also the nephew of the chief minister of the current dynasty, and he made a lot of money because of the popularity of Jinghua soap.

The smoothness of the times is simply immeasurable.However, Shen Shihang noticed that even at that time, Gao Yushi never showed complacent appearance, and it could even be said that he was too cautious——Shin Shihang sometimes felt that even if he were him, he might not be able to be more serious than him. Be careful.

At that time, Shen Shixing thought that this should be due to Gao Gong's repeated confession, but after Gao Gong's death, he was a little shaken in this idea - because at that time Gao Gong was still cautious.

This is not to get carried away in good times, and not to be decadent and give up in adversity.

Gao Pragmatism has also experienced adversity.At the beginning, he was admitted to the Imperial Academy with the number one scholar of six poems, and he was also blessed with the blessing of "the real leader for 200 years, I am a literary composer and Luo Shudan", which is simply radiant.

All the people in the world—including Shen Shixing and other officials of the Heart School—believe that his future is bright, and even feel that no one can stop him from moving forward.

However, at such a time, he was inexplicably demoted and even sent to a foreign post, and was sent to Guangxi, which was regarded as a fool in the eyes of Beijing officials.This situation is not much better than Yang Sheng'an back then.

But you must know that Yang Shengan was demoted back then, but later spent most of his life in Yunnan!Will Gao Yushi also end up like this?The ruling and opposition parties have different opinions.

However, Gao Yushi, who was demoted to Guangxi, was not at all discouraged, and continued to do things in his own style as always.Not only did he quickly resolve the years of internal disputes in Guangxi one by one, he even took Annan back beyond everyone's expectations.

Such a person who is not arrogant in winning and not discouraged in defeat is already extremely difficult to deal with, but he also takes both politics and business, and it is already difficult to attack him with any one. The combination of the two is almost invulnerable.

However, this is where the problem lies. Since the combination of politics and business is almost impeccable, why did he take the initiative to ask "the imperial court to solve the affairs of the court, and the shopping malls to solve the business"?

According to Shen Shixing's idea, the chaebols of Zhejiang and Yingtian joined forces to fight Jinghua. From the book data, as long as this "war" is fought in the southeast, the chaebols of Jiangsu and Zhejiang should still have a greater chance of winning.

Under such circumstances, it is really unreasonable for Gao Pragmatism to be willing to "do the business of the mall".

However, Shen Shihang itself doesn't know much about shopping malls. After much deliberation, he didn't even think about how Gao Pragmatic looked at it and how he planned it. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and planned to send someone to inform the chaebols in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. That's it.

He, Shen Yuanfu himself, had better deal with "the affairs of the court and the court's affairs".

Although the general direction of "the affairs of the imperial court" is already clear with the "gentlemen's agreement" reached tonight between him and Gao Pragmatic, but the specific operation still needs to be careful.

At this time, Shen Shixing began to regret his advice to Pan Sheng. If Pan Sheng really listened to his words and suddenly jumped out to muddy the water, it would be a bad thing.And I don't know what Gao Wushi will think if such a situation really happens.

But Shen Shixing still underestimated the quickness of Gao Yushi's actions, and also underestimated Pan Sheng's courage.

In the end, Mr. Pan Ge still didn't dare to make some showy operations between the two factions. He still stayed at home honestly and suspended himself for self-reflection.

After getting Shen Shixing's acquiescence, the faction of practical learning suddenly launched a fierce offensive.

In just one morning of the next day, the memorial to impeach Pan Sheng flew into the Secretary of General Administration like snowflakes, and was then submitted to the cabinet from the Secretary of General Administration, and then entered the Supervisor of Rituals.

The Jinshi who watched politics around Shen Shixing faction counted and found that Mr. Pan Ge may have accidentally set a record: in one morning, he was impeached 43 times.Those who impeached him included everything from Ke Dao to Hanlin Academy; from seventh rank to first rank, the first rank never fell!
In the afternoon, the situation became even more out of control, to the point where even Gao Yushi himself was a little confused.

Because he found that in the afternoon, not only the officials of the Practical School were continuing to make waves under his signal, but there were even other people joining the battle group—for example, Gu Xiancheng of his same year.

Gu Xiancheng is very famous in later generations because he is "Mr. Donglin" - Donglin Academy, the predecessor of the Donglin Party, was established by him.

One of Gao Yushi's entanglements is that he personally disdained the Donglin Party in the later period, and even resented the word Donglin when he heard the word Donglin. The actual leader of the practical school, and it seems that there is no position to reject this person.

The situation is the same this time, although Gu Xiancheng, like Gao Yushi, is only on the gold list in the eighth year of Wanli, his official qualifications are shallow, and his status is not high. .The article directly criticizes Pan Sheng for "being in charge of the Ministry of Rites, but he has not seen his integrity; in the old pavilion, he has not seen his virtue. I don't know what kind of old man he is in his position!"

The fierceness of his words and the harshness of his impeachment are even worse than those of the officials of the real school.

Gao Yushi had to think carefully about the use of Gu Xiancheng.

He suddenly thought of a big question: Are the Donglin in the late Ming Dynasty and the Donglin in the early Ming Dynasty really the same thing?If not.

At the very least, Gu Xiancheng's vigor to criticize Xinxue is probably no worse than his high pragmatism.

Gao Yushi thought about it carefully, and it seems that the early Donglin party members in history, especially the thoughts of Gu Xiancheng and Gao Panlong, are the most representative.However, Gu and Gao have always expressed their dissatisfaction with Wang Shouren's doctrine of the ultimate good, accusing Wang Shouren of "no good and no evil" as Buddhism and Zen, which has corrupted the atmosphere of Confucian practical learning.Among them, Gu Xiancheng's criticism was the most intense.

However, Gu Xiancheng did not disagree with the supreme goodness of Taoism, but did not agree that the supreme goodness is neither good nor evil.In this regard, he proposed the concepts of reality and emptiness of Taoism, and then formed the concept of actual teaching.This also shows his practical view.

However, there is a big problem here, that is, Gu Xiancheng's "practical learning" is different from Gao Gong and Gao Yushi's school of economics and practical learning. What Gu Xiancheng talks about is "moral practical learning". (This point has been mentioned in the previous article, which is the chapter before the Double Ninth Festival.)
As I said before, the study of the mind is originally a category under the general concept of "practical learning", and it was also the main representative of the school of "practical morality" earlier, but it just went astray.

Now that the "new school of morality and practicality" Gu Xiancheng has emerged, he is fighting for life and death with the "old school of morality and practicality" of Xinxue. Does it have anything to do with the high pragmatism of the "school of practicality in the world"?

In fact, it is not that Gao Pragmatism does not understand that the confrontation with Buddhism and Laos turned Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties into "practical learning" in a broad sense, and the criticism of Wang Yangming by the Donglin Party members in history was partly out of misunderstanding.In the sense of practical learning, they are still a family, and belong to the school of "moral practical learning".

When they debated with Buddhism, they all returned to the dispute between Mencius and Gaozi, because they saw that the two disputes were essentially the same, and they both meant the dispute between "nature is good" and "nature is neither good nor evil", that is, The battle between reality and fiction.

It's just that in Mencius' time, there was no Buddhist concept of emptiness or emptiness, so Mencius did not propose a targeted concept of reality.Only the Song and Ming dynasties, when Buddhist thoughts were rampant, had the concept of reality.

If so, conceptually speaking, practical learning was produced only in the Song and Ming Dynasties; but in essence, Confucianism of Confucius, Mencius, and Confucianism itself is practical learning.

That is to say, under the general characteristics of Confucian nature, goodness and practicality, there are various levels of practicality.According to the principle of the unity of body and function, the Tao or the noumenon of nature will be dispersed into all things.In this way, whether it is the noumenon of sex or ordinary daily use, it is all practical learning.

Ordinary daily use includes all areas of people's lives, including both moral articles and secular achievements;

In this way, all the things done by Confucians in the Song and Ming Dynasties under the banner of Confucianism can be called practical learning.

During this period, there were various concepts of practical learning, some advocated the effectiveness of Confucianism, such as Xu Guangqi; some advocated the characteristics of Confucianism, such as Li Zhizao; Monism, such as Huang Zongxi.No matter which aspect they focus on, it seems that they contradict each other, but they are all part of the general tendency of Confucianism to be practical.

Among the above-mentioned people, Gao Pragmatism certainly recognized Xu Guangqi more, because theoretically speaking Xu Guangqi is one of his successors of Gao's theory of manipulative management of the world, and he pays attention to learning to see actual results.

But at this time, Gao Pragmatism had to think about another question: Is there any hope of unifying these various "practical studies"?Is there any need for unification?

Academics, according to a high-practical view, should "let a hundred flowers bloom". Even if he doesn't approve of today's low-level mental studies, it's hard to say that there are no good things in the low-level mental studies.

In the same way, does the Donglin Party only have "itchy scalp" and "too cold water"?Among the early Donglin party members, there were quite a few people with integrity and chest!

How should I distinguish and how should I treat them?

It is rare for Gao Yushi to sit in his room and start a daze, and this "daze" lasts for more than an hour.

It wasn't until someone came to tell him that Mr. Pan Ge had given three memorials in a row in one day, each of which he resolutely resigned, that Gao Yushi slowly came to his senses.

Within a day, Sanshu asked to retreat?

It seems that Pan Sheng has completely surrendered, but this is not surprising. If Shen Shixing does not save him, what courage and strength does he have to fight against the tide of "Falling Pan" of the Real School?
Sanshu's request to retire is to save himself the last bit of face, otherwise if the emperor decrees to resign, he will really be treated the same as Yan Song.

Gao Wushi was not wrong, and less than half an hour later, the Supervisor of Ceremonies rushed to send today's Zhu approval, including Zhu Yijun's reply to Pan Shengsan's request for resignation.

Pan Sheng first asked for retirement, using the reason of "retirement due to illness", while Zhu Yijun's reply was "Mr. Pan is old and violated the agreement, and the Imperial Hospital will send staff to make a detailed diagnosis and treatment. Please do not allow."

The second Pan Sheng asked to retire. Apart from "due to illness", he also said that he had been out of energy recently, which might be a sign of exhaustion, and it was better to return early, so he begged for bones.

This time Zhu Yijun's reply was "He has been diagnosed and treated at the Imperial Hospital. Please do not allow."

In the afternoon, the third group asked to retreat, which was after officials from the non-practical school, including Gu Xiancheng, also started to join the war. He had already lost the trust of his colleagues and courtiers, and had to retire for the sake of self-clearing.

This time Zhu Yijun's reply was a bit interesting. He first praised Pan Sheng a few words, which of course were nothing more than a few clichés, and then said, "Mr. I also have to be considerate of Mr. Pan's feelings. Mr. Zhun Pan will resign and send him back to the post."

You don't need to look at the polite words, in short, you agree.However, Zhu Yijun still followed the tradition and saved face for the cabinet ministers, not only by saying that he was allowed to resign, but also by giving a special gift of chariots and horses - sending him back to Chuanyi, which means asking the post stations along the way to send Pan Sheng home at public expense.

So far, the highly pragmatic "Turning Pan" action has come to a perfect conclusion.Pan Sheng resigned early before Wang Xijue's guarding system ended, and returned to his hometown to retire.

However, this incident was not completely over yet, because according to the "gentlemen's agreement" he had made with Shen Shihang yesterday, the position of the cabinet minister left by Pan Sheng after he became official had not yet been settled.

"The affairs of the court are handled by the court", and it will continue to be done-at least it will not be finished until the position of the cabinet minister is settled.

So early the next morning, Shen Shixing went to the shuffle as the first assistant, saying that since Pan Sheng had retired, the cabinet ministers should not hang around for too long, and asked the emperor to agree to the court's dismissal of cabinet ministers.

Zhu Yijun quickly made a reply, agreed to the request, and ordered to prepare for the court push.
