Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1195 There is an edict
The whole capital was disturbed and couldn't stop, but the left servant of the Ministry of War who started the whirlwind, and the assistant manager of the military and political affairs of the capital, Gao Gongbao, who was highly pragmatic, was not in the Ministry of War.People from several yamen next to the Ministry of War came to ask Gao Gongbao face to face, but they were all told that Gao Gongbao had gone to the Beijing North Camp to inspect the defense, and they had no choice but to leave regretfully.

The so-called statement that Gao Gongbao went to the Beijing North Camp to inspect the defense is actually half-truth. He did inspect several bastions outside the Beijing North Camp accompanied by Qi Jiguang and others, but he only saw three of the 24 bastions. They didn't continue, but stayed in one of the bastions near the lake to chat with Qi Jiguang.

His highly pragmatic chess skills are completely unworthy of his status as the No. [-] champion in the Six Sects, and even to put it mildly, he is nothing more than mediocre.Fortunately, Qi Jiguang's chess skills don't seem to be very good, and he actually killed Gao Yushi on the same level.

Two stinky chess baskets played three games, but Gao Pragmatic won two out of three games and barely won.

It's a pity that although the high-practical chess skills are not good, his vision has never been bad. When Qi Jiguang smiled and conceded defeat, he couldn't help shaking his head and jokingly said: "I'm afraid that my bad chess skills will make things difficult for Nantang Gong. It’s not easy to lose casually if you win, it’s hard work, right?”

Qi Jiguang saw that Gao Yushi wasn't angry, so he laughed, cupped his hands and said, "With Gong Bao's wisdom, how could he not be good at chess? In the future, Gong Bao just put his mind on today's big event. Only multi-tasking, almost gave away some false fame and failure for nothing."

Gao Wushi stretched out his hand casually, pushed the chess piece away, shook his head and said, "Some people say that chess is the art of the emperor, and some say that chess is the art of the general. I don't think so."

Qi Jiguang was a little surprised, and asked, "Oh? But I don't know how Gong Bao thinks about chess?"

"Chess is like life." Gao Yushi said: "The law is based on yin and yang, and the harmony is based on the number of skills. A small victory depends on skill, and a big victory depends on virtue."

Qi Jiguang was thoughtful, but he didn't open his mouth. Gao Yushi said to himself: "A few years ago, I invited my mentor, Mr. Dongye, to Beijing. At that time, he thought that I was a gem that could be carved, so he accompanied me to Beijing. But not long afterward, my husband criticized me...does Nantang know what he said about me?"

Qi Jiguang was surprised and said: "With Gongbao Tianzong's talent, it's hard to imagine how he can criticize in the end. Presumably Enxiang must have a unique and high theory?"

As expected of Qi Jiguang, he can speak. While affirming his high practicality as a "talent from the sky", he also said that Guo Pu "must have a unique and high theory", which is really exquisite and harmonious.

Gao Wushi chuckled, then sighed softly holding a chess piece, and said quietly: "Sir, I blamed me for being too calculating."

Qi Jiguang couldn't help being stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is this... considered criticism?"

"Criticism, of course." Gao Wushi said: "Mr. taught me the principle of 'Small victories rely on skills, and great victories depend on virtue'. Unfortunately, I didn't understand it at the time. I'm afraid I failed Mr.'s painstaking efforts."

Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that's not the case. In the future, Gongbao is already the top in the world, regardless of his studies and achievements. If this is not enough to satisfy Enxiang, then Enxiang's standard is too high." "Qi Jiguang had already joined the Real School in the Gao Gong era, so he also treated Guo Pu with "favor".

However, Gao Yushi seemed to be in a daze at this moment, closed his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Small victories rely on skills, and great victories depend on virtue..."

Qi Jiguang's heart moved, he couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself: Enxiang is really discerning, judging from Gao Gongbao's appearance, he is still "calculating too much"!It even looks like he is going to take all the "virtue" into account now.

It’s like playing chess just now, he knew that I would not dare to beat him, so he played whatever he wanted, without thinking at all, instead I was so tired that I “neither win casually nor lose casually”, so I could only think hard about how to lose Be more "real".

Qi Jiguang's idea may confuse "morality" with "power", but in his opinion, Gao Yushi, as a superior, represents "morality", at least as a general under his command, if he does not It is definitely immoral to respect a superior.Gao Wushi knew this, so he was sure that Qi Jiguang would not dare to win him.

This is to take "virtue" into account.

However, Qi Jiguang is not sure what Gao Wuzhen is thinking now, the only thing he can guess is that it must be related to today's situation.

Art and virtue?
What exactly is Gao Gongbao planning?
After some time, Qi Jiguang suddenly heard Gao Wushi say: "Where is the truth, each is what it is, and each is not what it is not. There is no Confucius in the world, who can determine the truth of right and wrong?"

Qi Jiguang also read books, and even published "Zhi Zhi Tang Collection", but in front of Gao Yushi, it is fine to let him talk about military affairs, but he is really not confident enough to talk about Taoism. Mr. Gao Wenzheng, the sage and benefactor, once said: "The law changes with the times, and the law changes with the times." Now Gong Bao wants to open the feudal ban, but he will think it is the right time. This is the reason, so why bother about others' right and wrong ?”

Gao Wushi was a little surprised by Qi Jiguang's words, he didn't even know that Qi Jiguang also read Gao Gong's works, and even knew that Gao Gong had said this.

However, this sentence is also very recognized by Gao Yushi himself, especially he feels that Gao Gong's ability to say this sentence really shows the mind of a true reformer.

In fact, Qi Jiguang only quoted half of this sentence just now. Gao Gong's original words are: if things are displaced, easy things will be in place; (Note: This sentence comes from Gao Gong's "Cheng Shi Ji" volume 4 "Confucius's right to speak")
In fact, it was Gao Gong's words that established the theoretical basis for the "Longwan Great Reform".

If this sentence is understood and summarized in the simplest way, what would it be?
In fact, there are only four words: keep pace with the times!
The social reality is subject to change, and when the reality changes, then the things and laws that adapt to it should all change accordingly. Otherwise, how can we adapt?

If you don't adapt, bad things will happen until the country dies!

Although Qi Jiguang didn't go into details, this sentence seemed to reassure Gao Yushi. His gaze became firm, he nodded slowly and vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "What Nantang Gong said is true. The law changes with the times, and the Change the law to keep pace with the times. Now the feudal ban has become a chronic disease of our dynasty. If I don't change it, who will I ask? Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go."

Qi Jiguang bowed slightly: "If you don't give up, the general is willing to go from Gongbao."

Gao Wushi laughed, turned around and patted Qi Jiguang's shoulder vigorously, and said, "With Mr. Nantang by his side, where in the world can I not go?"

Qi Jiguang hesitated a little, and asked: "What Gong Bao said... Could it be that Gong Bao is worried that some vassals will call chaos?"

Gao Wushi shook his head, waved his hands and said, "Mostly no one in the Zongfu would dare to make a mess, but some people deliberately induced changes in the vassal state, and then encouraged the emperor to 'kill Chaocuo'."

Qi Jiguang's complexion changed: "Why is this? If you do such nonsense, won't you be afraid of being accused by thousands of people and die without a problem?"

"Mr. Nantang, don't you think that what I'm talking about is that the princes in the court dare to do this." Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "What I'm talking about is not in the outer court, but in the inner court."

"Inner Court?" Qi Jiguang was a little surprised, and secretly said: Inner Court Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju, aren't you Gao Gongbao's help?
"Although the princes of the Dao are in power, they can't treat the inner court as nothing. Now that Huang and Chen Ergong are united with us, there must be someone who wants to replace him. Therefore, the internal and external are united, and one day we will join hands again..."

Gao Wushi narrowed his eyes slightly: "This time I want to set off a wave of breaking the feudal ban. On the surface, the natural combination of civil and martial arts is true, but I'm afraid there will always be people who want to play tricks in the dark. After thinking about it, the most Perhaps those who neither care about the safety of the world nor fear the reputation of future generations are the ambitious people in the inner court."

Qi Jiguang said suspiciously: "But if there are people in the inner court who have ulterior motives, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult."

"Of course." Gao Wushi nodded, but then sneered: "However, if there are people in the outer court who are forced by the situation, then they may not be used by the ambitious people in the inner court to do something that both people and gods hate. "

These words didn't refer to anyone, Qi Jiguang was so confused, he couldn't figure out who Gao Yushi was referring to, and he couldn't help feeling a little headache.But since Gao Wushi didn't say it clearly, there must be his reasons, but Qi Jiguang didn't feel comfortable asking more, so he could only say: "Maybe Gong Bao already has a countermeasure?"

Gao Wushi sighed: "Small victories rely on skills, and great victories depend on virtue. This matter is not something that I, a military minister, should be involved in. This 'skill' is not easy to use indiscriminately, so I have to rely on virtue."

Qi Jiguang couldn't understand more and more, and said with a wry smile: "As long as the palace guard is confident, that's fine. The last general has no other skills. He can only train troops for the palace guard. If the court has something to do, the imperial guards can always entrust it."

Gao Wushi smiled and nodded: "That's enough. Whether I can pass the test in the future may also depend on the performance of the Imperial Guard."

Qi Jiguang was startled, but his face was still calm, but he was a little worried, and said: "The imperial guards were originally trained to destroy Tumen, and I really don't want to use it in Shenzhou."

Gao Yushi said indifferently: "Whether it's inside or outside, in the final analysis, it's all for the sake of 'becoming more law-abiding', but there is not much difference."

After hearing this, Qi Jiguang didn't say any more, but he was more worried.

Gao Wushi stopped talking, looked at the sky, and said, "It's time to go back and check the value, but I don't know who is going to jump out this time?"

With that, he turned and left.Qi Jiguang gave him a ride, watching his big green sedan chair gradually go away, his eyes were a little worried.

A stocky general beside him saw him, and couldn't help asking: "Why did Gao Gongbao speak so cloudy today? The imperial court wants to cut down the feudal clan?"

Qi Jiguang glanced at him angrily, and said, "Cutting down the feudal clan? What other feudal clans are worth cutting?"

The general said inexplicably: "Since we don't want to cut down the vassal, why do we say 'Zhu Chaocuo'?"

Qi Jiguang sighed: "Gao Gongbao means that the imperial court didn't intend to cut the feudal clan, but if the protection is not complete, some people will deliberately say that the opening of the feudal ban is like cutting the feudal clan, and then secretly plan and come up with some things to trap Gao Gong is in danger."

The general suddenly realized, thought for a while, and said: "This has to be guarded against, some vassals really don't seem very smart, maybe they will be fooled."

Qi Jiguang was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "This is not something we can hear. Presumably, since Gao Gongbao is prepared, it will be difficult for those people to please him. I'd better train with peace of mind and wait for the imperial court's military orders. .”

That general had a big heart, and when he heard this, he nodded again and again: "The commander is right, it is right for us to train our troops and wait for the war to start, and whoever he hits—is it not military merit?"

Now the Imperial Guards like to call Qi Jiguang's new position "commander", not because of anything else, but because this position is only used by the Imperial Guards. It is really the only one for Scorpion Baba. It sounds very different, so it seems The Praetorian Guard is very different.

Qi Jiguang sighed, but didn't speak any more, and turned and left silently.

When Gao Wushi arrived at the Ministry of War, he still did not escape the "interview". Many people waited for him at the entrance of the Ministry of War.As soon as they saw him coming, they all gathered around, praising Gao Gongbao for his literary courage, and at the same time beating around the bush and asking how to handle this matter.

But Gao Yushi just chatted with them handily, and he refused to say too much, he just passed the memorial.

The people tried again, but seeing that they couldn't ask any questions, they had to leave one after another.

Gao Wushi may have made up his mind because of Gao Gong's words during the conversation with Qi Jiguang, but now he is very indifferent, and he doesn't ask for more information, and returns to his No. [-] Scholar in Zhaohui Jinggongfang After taking a break, he even took the time to write a letter to Huang Zhiting who was far away in Siam. While caring about her physical condition, he gave a general explanation of his own situation, but did not ask about Siam.

This is Gao Pragmatic's style. Since she said to let her handle it, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to speak up, Gao Pragmatic will not ask more questions.

On the second day, not long after Gao Wushi arrived at his own duty room in the Ministry of War, a subordinate came in to report that Mr. Wu Ge had come.

The relationship between Wu Dui and Gao Yushi is different. The person who communicated here just told Gao Yushi that he followed him in. When he saw Gao Yushi, he said, "Seeking the truth, have you read the new edict issued by the emperor early in the morning?" ?”

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said, "Brother, you are joking. I have just arrived at the Ministry of War, and I haven't even had time to drink tea. Where can I see any edict? Brother is in the cabinet, so naturally I read this edict early, but how can the Ministry of War be so fast?"

Wu Dui said "Oh" and didn't mind. He just waved his hands to let the others go out first, and then sat down under Gao Pragmatic's greeting, took a breath, and said, "The son-in-law you chose at the beginning has been promoted."

Gao Wushi didn't realize it for a while, and asked in astonishment, "My son-in-law? Who is it?"

Son-in-law?Which son-in-law, what does it matter to me whether he gets promoted or not?

But Wu Dui smiled, blinked his eyes, and said, "To be honest, you haven't woken up yet, have you? Have you ever chosen a few son-in-laws? It's not just that Hou Gongchen, the captain of the Marquis. "

Oh, Hou Gongchen...

Gao Wushi suddenly said: "It turned out to be him, why did he get promoted?"

Wu Dui blinked again, moved closer, and said mysteriously: "Zuo Zongzheng of the clan's residence is in charge of the affairs of the clan."

PS: Another clue that has been buried for several years was activated... Well, in principle, I did not give anyone the plot indiscriminately before, and if I did, it meant that there was a follow-up arrangement-unless I forgot later.
