Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1287 Good News

Gao pragmatically guessed right, Zhu Yijun wanted him to be the minister of the Ministry of Housing, Shi Xing was to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Shen Li was transferred to Zuodu Censor.

The transfer of these three important positions, Zhu Yijun did not reveal the slightest, and Princess Yongning did not have any inside information, which was entirely speculated by Gao Pragmatist through years of understanding of Zhu Yijun.

As for Zhu Yijun's compensation to Shen Shixing, or to put it bluntly, to the Xin School, this is actually not difficult for Zhu Yijun, who has been the emperor for more than ten years.You must know that although he has not been pro-political earlier, because of his high pragmatism, he has been "watching politics" since the prince's time. It has been really many years, and he has a few brushes.

Although Gao Wushi didn't say it, he had two predictions in his heart: one is to replace Shu Hua, the minister of punishment, with a die-hard supporter of Shen Shixing.In fact, Shu Hua himself is a person of the Xin School, and he is only fifty-one (virtual age), but both of his advantages have certain problems.

Although Shu Hua is a member of the School of Mind, he is the Gold List in the 38th year of Jiajing, one subject earlier than Shen Shixing, and he doesn't particularly respect Shen Shixing—of course, disrespect is not disrespectful, but his speech and behavior are somewhat Holding it, making Shen Shixing somewhat unhappy.

However, this is not the key. The key is that Shu Hua is very principled and a little "not listening to greetings".After he was a jinshi, he first served as a push official in Hengzhou, succeeded as a push official in Fengyang House, and transferred households to work in the middle.Adopting the policy of appeasement of the people, he was praised by Sejong, and he was changed to the Criminal Division.

At the beginning of Longqing, three moved to the Criminal Division to deal with the matter.Later, because Gao Gong and Xu Jie disagreed on the handling of the alchemist Wang Jin and others, Shu Hua of course supported Xu Jie, so after Gao Gong took power, Shu Hua released Shaanxi to participate in politics.As I said just now, this person prefers to "hold it", so he resigned and returned home.

When Zhu Yijun succeeded to the throne, Gao Gong had already rectified the dynasty with the help of Gao pragmatism. At this time, the contradiction between the school and the Xin school was relatively eased (the suppression of the Xin school is also a kind of relaxation), which is the time to appease people's hearts. .So under the guise of Zhu Yijun's imperial decree, Shu Huaqi was restored as Taipu Shaoqing.

Unexpectedly, although Shu Hua was young, his health was not very good, and he "returned with illness" not long after.After recovering from his illness, Gao Gong reinstated him again and served as the minister of Dali Temple in Nanjing.

As a result of working in the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and other judicial departments for so many years, this guy has a very tough temper, and usually likes to make rules.It's not a bad thing in itself, it's just the opposite of Shen Shixing's style.

As we all know, Shen Shixing is a crystal monkey with exquisite faces. Even if the relationship between the Xin School and the Shi School is so tense now, he can sit down with Gao Pragmatic to "negotiate", which is evident - of course, Gao Pragmatic himself Also a slippery guy, the two of them had a chance to sit down and talk.If Gao Gong was the party leader instead, there would definitely be nothing to talk about.

Therefore, it is contrary to Shen Shixing's style and does not respect this Mr. Yuan Fu enough. This is Shu Hua's first problem.

The second question has actually been mentioned just now, that is, the person's health is not good, not a small one, but a big one.If you want to compare his physical condition, it is probably similar to Zhang Siwei: Zhang Siwei once resigned to his hometown due to illness, and he Shu Hua also resigned to his hometown due to illness - when he was in his forties, he was so ill that he could not even work. If you can't hold on to it, you can see that your health is very worrying.

In fact, it was also his fault that Gao Wushi didn't know enough about a not-so-famous figure like Shu Hua in his previous life. If he knew enough, he should have known that Shu Hua had only two years of life left.

But Gao Wushi knew at least one thing. At the beginning of the spring this year and before the outbreak of the Northwest Rebellion, Shu Hua fell ill because he accidentally caught a cold when the seasons changed.In a period of about three months, he took a month's leave on and off, and the emperor sent him seven times to send a royal doctor to diagnose and treat him.

Of course, he also felt uncomfortable about this physical condition, and he also resigned twice, but Zhu Yijun did not approve.But if Zhu Yijun wanted to replace him now, it would not be difficult to operate. As long as he gave a little hint, Shu Hua would definitely take the initiative to resign. When Zhu Yijun pushed the boat along the water, the minister of punishment could be replaced.

As for who to replace, Zhu Yijun only needs to ask Mr. Yuan Fushen to recommend it. As for the recommendation of Ting, it is obviously a cutscene.The real school has so many benefits that it is impossible to oppose this nomination.

In addition to replacing the Minister of Punishment, there is a second possibility, that is, adding cabinet ministers.

There are currently five people in the cabinet: Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, Zhang Xueyan, Wu Dui, and Wang Jiaping. A lot of them are very good, but they are certainly not many. It is completely reasonable to add a cabinet minister.

As for the operation, it is not difficult, as long as Shen Shixing is the first assistant to ask for it.Although generally speaking, the emperor would decline the cabinet's initiative to request to add cabinet ministers, because it was a bit like saying that the cabinet's work was not done properly.

But sometimes the emperor can "follow the advice like a stream". For example, when Shen Shixing comes to ask for compensation three times in a row, Zhu Yijun can completely agree to it, and there is no problem in the "procedure".

So why is adding cabinet ministers an option?This question does not need to be explained much. Wang Xijue's defense has long been over, and now he is eagerly waiting for his recovery.

Originally, Shen Shixing had planned to revive him a long time ago, but Wang Xijue was self-reliant enough and was unwilling to give in to other positions, but the previous opportunity to enter the cabinet was destroyed by Gao pragmatic, so he had been in the system for so long, Still staying in his hometown and refusing to move a step.

Wang Xijue's life and status have been introduced before, so there is no need to repeat it here. In short, he does have this capital, and his failure to join the cabinet at present is purely pragmatic.

As for which of the two Zhu Yijun would choose, Gao Pragmatism was not able to judge.In theory, the latter one is obviously more beneficial to the Xin School, but it is hard to say whether Zhu Yijun chooses it or not.

Although the emperor still has a close relationship with him, many times the emperor may not be willing to have unbalanced factions. This is not only the reason for stable rule, but also because Zhu Yijun is all focused on the "Eastern system" at this time, he may not want his heart At this time, the school was sharply opposed to the Shi school, which led to the delay of the government.

There are signs of this. For example, this time, the ministers of the Shi School caused the Northwest Rebellion. Although Gao Pragmatic quickly quelled it, the merits are merits and demerits. Rewarding Gao Guangxian and punishing Gao Guangxian and Liang Wenmeng are not linked. .However, Zhu Yijun faced a lot of requests from officials of the Xin School recently to severely punish Gao Guangxian and Liang Wenmeng's ignorance of the memorials. field.

What Zhu Yijun wanted was the stability of the government, to put the ban on opening the vassal in place and handle it properly as soon as possible, so as to loosen the financial constraints of the imperial court, so as to have the financial resources to launch a large-scale attack on the Chahar Department, destroy the Yuan Yuan in one fell swoop, and realize the capital of the second ancestor. The unfulfilled great cause established his own historical position.

The emperor is already the supreme person in the world, and it is unrealistic to expect him to pursue anything else.Under the guidance of Gao Gong and others and the influence of Gao pragmatism, at least the emperor's aspirations are still very positive.

However, under these circumstances, it is difficult for Liu Xin to give Gao Pragmatist any advice. After all, her strengths are not in this area.

So the two soon talked about another matter. Although Liu Xin heard it for the first time, she was quite interested.

Gao pragmatically is talking about the Queen's affairs.

Previously, Gao Mo told Gao Wushi that Princess Yongning had asked to meet with Gao Wushi before. After the two met today, due to some unspeakable things, Gao Wushi thought that Princess Yongning wanted to see him just because of lovesickness. Who knows Really not, Princess Yongning has accomplished a major event that is highly pragmatic.

Queen Wang agreed to let Li Shizhen see a doctor!

This is really not easy, and the impact of this incident is still great. Although Gao Pragmatist has never urged him, he is actually very anxious - after all, this incident is directly related to the "national dispute" that had a great impact in the original history. .

In the 14th year of Wanli in the original history, as the movement to liquidate Zhang Juzheng came to an end, the noise in the court gradually subsided. Zhu Yijun's diligent administration and ability to handle government affairs gave everyone a feeling that the Lord of England would come and ZTE could be expected. , It's just that no one could have imagined that all of this was pierced by the cry of a baby boy.

The baby boy who made this cry was named Zhu Changxun, the third son of Zhu Yijun (who had all died early), and the first son born by Zhu Yijun and his beloved woman Zheng Guifei. Zhu Yijun's heart will definitely be filled with joy.

However, the hearts of the civil service group were filled with worry, disturbed by this cry.

In order to prevent civil strife caused by the princes competing for the crown prince, and to ensure that the crown prince can receive training as soon as possible, the Ming Dynasty has always had a tradition of establishing crown princes early. For example, Ming Yingzong was established as crown prince only four months after birth, Ming Xiaozong was established as the crown prince when he was six years old, Ming Wuzong was established as the crown prince when he was two years old, and Zhu Yijun himself was established as the crown prince when he was five years old.

At this time, Zhu Yijun's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, was five years old and had not yet been established as the crown prince. Of course, the civil service group was very worried that Zhu Yijun would change Zhu Changxun as the crown prince by conferring Concubine Zheng Guijin as the queen.

On the third day of the [-]th day of the second month of Wanli, Shen Shixing, the chief minister of the cabinet, submitted a letter to the Ming Shenzong requesting the establishment of Zhu Changluo as the crown prince.

The imperial concubine was only one step away from the empress, so Zhu Yijun's move almost confirmed the concerns of the civil service group.Afterwards, Huke sent Jiang Yinglin, a foreign official from the Ministry of Personnel, Shen Jing, and Sun Rufa, the chief of the Ministry of Punishment, and others successively. They not only requested to establish Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, but also proposed that Zhu Changluo's biological mother Wang Gongfei should be named first, and then Zheng Guifei.

Jiang Yinglin and others made Zhu Yijun furious, and as a result, they were demoted and assigned. Later, in order to dispel the concerns of the courtiers, Zhu Yijun made a statement that "the place of descending is not a canonization, and it is suspicious that I will establish a young and abolish the chief". explain.

In the face of the fact that Zhu Yijun still did not establish Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, his explanation was obviously a little pale, so the censors Sun Weicheng and Yang Shaocheng, Hu Shilin and others in the case of the matter successively requested to establish Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, but Zhu Yijun took a tough attitude. Rejected, and the curtain of the national dispute was opened.

These things happened in the original history, and they have also happened now, but Zhu Yijun also gave an explanation: the crown prince was not listed because the queen was still young, and he still had the hope of giving birth to a direct son-in other words, If the queen gives birth to a son, the son must be the crown prince.

This was won by Gao Wushi, because Zhu Yijun also knew that Gao Wushi was also a supporter of Queen Wang.

In March of the 42nd year of Wanli in the original history, the assassination of the crown prince Zhu Changluo by Zhang Chai took place. Zhu Changxun and his mother Zheng Huangguifei became the objects of widespread suspicion. Zhu Yijun was forced to order Zhu Changxun to become a vassal In Luoyang, the nearly 30-year national struggle has come to an end.

On the face of it, the nearly 30-year national-ben dispute has made the hustle and bustle in the Ming court more serious than before, and Zhu Yijun has been in a state of indolence for a long time. The adverse impact of the dispute on Daming is far more than that.

In the nearly 30-year national struggle, Zhu Yijun took measures to weaken the power of the civil official group who advocated the appointment of Zhu Changluo as the crown prince. According to the statistics of Mr. Qian Mu in the "Outline of National History", only in Wanli In 29 years, "Two capitals lacked three ministers, ten servants, and ninety-four Kedao. The world lacked three governors, sixty-six supervisors and twenty-five magistrates." Even if civil officials asked for brief supplements, Zhu Yijun would not listen.

The imperial censors and governors were the core of the supervision system of the Ming Dynasty. The problem of lack of officials was so serious. It is conceivable that the supervision system of the Ming Dynasty had been paralyzed in the process of the national competition.

With the paralysis of the supervisory system, the corruption of officials in the Wanli period will inevitably be greatly exacerbated, and the resulting problems of land annexation and refugee uprisings will certainly drag Daming into the abyss of doom.

In the nearly 30-year national struggle, although the civil service group unanimously supported the canonization of Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, they were divided into the Donglin Party and the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xuan, and Kunming parties for their own interests. The dispute over the country and the interests, these two factions successively brought out a series of incidents such as the Three Kings’ Merger, the Kingdom of the King of Fortune, the Prince Prison of Chu, the Han Jing Examination Case, the Xinhai Jingcha, the Dingsi Jingcha, the Yaoshu Case, and the stiletto attack case. , Even the Hongwan case and Yigong case in Taichang and Tianqi periods are related to this.

In the entanglement of national capital and interests, the government of the Wanli Dynasty fell into a state of extreme chaos. This chaos was even used by Nurhaci, causing the Ming army to be defeated by Nurhaci's Eight Banners Army in the Battle of Sarhu.

This is not over yet, Zhu Yijun did not make up for the lack of officials in the civil service group, and the Donglin Party within the civil service group and the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and other parties attacked each other, resulting in a large number of scholars who wanted to serve the country unable to enter the official career or unwilling to enter. In the Ming Dynasty, these people were collectively called "mountain people".

Although the "Shan Ren" has no chance of being a career, their enthusiasm for actively participating in politics has not diminished. Therefore, the "Shan Ren" often participate in politics by becoming cabinet ministers and governor-general mubins. For example, the cabinet chief assistant Shen Shixing's The curtain guests Huang Xiyuan and Lu Yingyang, and the cabinet minister Li Tingji were Chen Jiude and Pan Wei.

Most of the "shanren" who can become cabinet ministers and governor-general mubins are famous and have a prominent family background, so they can form a kind of cabinet assistant ministers and the governor using the mountain people to consolidate their positions, and the "shanren" using the cabinet assistant ministers and the governor to consolidate their positions. The governor's participation in politics is mutually beneficial and win-win. Therefore, the cabinet ministers and governors of various places in the late Ming Dynasty mostly used "mountain people" as their guests.

However, after all, becoming a mubin is just a helpless move of "mountain people" when they cannot enter the official career, and over time they will inevitably be dissatisfied with the indirect participation in politics as mubins. As the dissatisfaction continues to accumulate in their hearts, they will There is bound to be a way to break the status quo.

As for the way to break the status quo, that's bad: when the Ming Dynasty had strong control over the various places, they would support the people they entered to gain higher positions of power, so that they could exert more influence politically. ; When the Ming court's control over various places weakened, they would support their own governor-general.

For example, after the fall of the Hongguang court in Nanming, the main force supporting Lujianguo, Lujianguo, Longwu court, Shaowu court, and Yongli court either side by side or compete for it is the "mountain man" who became the governor of various places.Therefore, the appearance of "Shan Ren" provided the basic conditions for the reappearance of the separatist rule in the Ming Dynasty.

Since the struggle for national capital has such a big and bad influence, how could Gao pragmatism not be in a hurry?Now that Princess Yongning brought the good news that the queen was persuaded by her to accept Li Shizhen's consultation, how could Gao Shizhen be unhappy?
The reason why he was high-spirited when he came in from outside just now was not just because...the spring breeze was once.
