Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1291 The Imperial Court's Discussion (Part [-])
Wang Jiaping really speaks bluntly, and these words really point to the core of the problem: if you make him an earl now, you will definitely have to use him in the next two years. Once Chahar is defeated, Daming will be destroyed. Can Yuan, gave an explanation to the "Second Ancestors".

Such a big credit, according to the people's thoughts at the beginning of the country, even if it is a prince, it is not an exaggeration. Although it is impossible to give it to the prince now, it is not only a first-level nobility, right?So good, two ranks of nobility, the earl skips the marquis, isn't that the prince of the country?This prize is at its peak!

Yes, it's not impossible at the extreme. Anyway, people who can do such a big thing are generally not too young. After becoming the grandfather of the country, after a few years of rest at home, they will go to see the Taizu, it doesn't matter.

But he is very pragmatic and different!According to the current plan of the court, this matter will not be delayed for another five years.

What does it mean to flatten Chahar within five years?Means Gao Pragmatism is not even 30 years old!
When he was less than 30 years old, he was named the Duke of the country, and he was not conferred by his relatives or son-in-law, which means that his position in the court would not be affected, no matter what official he was at the time, he had to continue to work.

Can you believe that an important official of this age and such talent will not make any other contributions in the next 40 years of his official career?If he does, what will you give him as a reward?He has even reached the top of his awards!
Since the time of Taizu in my court, there has never been an example of taking a hero. Could it be that the emperor of Wanli wants to break this rule?
Sorry, this idea definitely won't work.

why?
Because the officials under heaven will not agree!You can use the hero Gao pragmatism "today", and can you use any hero tomorrow?

You ruined my court's 200-year tradition of raising scholars?
It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

Although Wang Jiaping didn't say this, the meaning was very clear: instead of being pragmatic and high-impact when the time comes, you will kill because there is no reward, it is better to plan ahead and reward the pragmatic and noble first. Squeeze.

I'm not jealous of Gao and pragmatic, I'm doing this for his own good, the emperor's good, the court's good, and the world's good!

Zhu Yijun was very moved when he heard it, and secretly said in his heart: Although Mr. Wang has not been in the cabinet for a long time, it is rare for him to be honest and to speak up. Whether I agree with this or not, at least he is really thinking about me.

He also remembered a previous secret report by Jin Yiwei, saying that Wang Jiaping once mentioned in a letter to a colleague that he was an official, "I dare not ask for knowledge from eunuchs and concubines, and I dare not offend wise men and doctors. Unselfish guests, dismissing officials and turning against them, family members with four walls, Xiao Ran cold Confucianism, this is worthy of the heart, worthy of the confidant."

He also said that he thought the most important thing to be an assistant minister was to "be able to hide in the invisible, prevent desires from being stingy", "did the secret rules, prevent the monarch's desires before they bloom; The Nexus of Destruction."

Of course Zhu Yijun knew that he had canceled the classics several times because of his "foot disease". Although Wang Jiaping no longer served as a Japanese lecturer, he would criticize him every time.

Speaking of which, Zhu Yijun was very dissatisfied with this time - I didn't cancel the feast because I wanted to be lazy, I was "Breaching the Holy Communion", why are you not understanding at all?

But now, Zhu Yijun suddenly felt that an assistant minister like Wang Jiaping was quite cute, at least every word he said could be regarded as "one-hearted for the public".

Thinking of "being dedicated to the public", Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of Gao Pragmatism, and couldn't help comparing Gao Pragmatism with Wang Jiaping.

In terms of talent, of course, high pragmatism is better.Zhu Yijun compared civil servants and military generals in the past 200 years in this dynasty, and even believed that no one with all-round talents in civil and military affairs could be more pragmatic.

But if it is only about remarks, then I am afraid that Wang Jiaping will be more pragmatic than high. Say.

This is not the case with Gao Wushi, he doesn't seem to care about some trivial matters of "preventing the small and preventing the gradual".For example, he certainly wouldn't elevate the matter to the point that the whole nation did not study hard because the emperor cancelled a classic feast today because the emperor failed to set an example for the world.High pragmatism pays more attention to the matter.

However, in any case, the two of them are considered "one-hearted for the public".

Gao Wushi was unwilling to receive the title award now because he was afraid of affecting the stability of the imperial court, which in turn would affect the next battle to destroy the Yuan, so he would rather give up such a good opportunity.

Wang Jiaping did not agree that Gao Wucheng was awarded the title now, but he was worried that after the successful battle to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, Gao Wushi would have a tendency of "high dragons have regrets" in which the merits are high and the rewards are not rewarded. It's not good, and it's not good for the court and the world.

Although the starting points of the two are different, they are both "one-hearted for the public", not for selfish interests, which is especially rare.

Of course, Zhu Yijun himself doesn't believe that the highest level of gong can cover the Lord - no matter how high the level of gong is, it can't cover the Lord!This principle was explained to Zhu Yijun by Gao pragmatic more than ten years ago, and Zhu Yijun completely agreed.

At that time, Gao Wushi gave Zhu Yijun two examples, one was Wang Jian and the other was Guo Ziyi.

One is to help the first emperor to conquer the world and sweep Liuhe; the other is to help Li Tang pacify Anshi and return the capital to the old capital.To speak of unparalleled feats, both of them can be called.

In 236 BC, Wang Jian led his army to capture Zhao State in only 222 days, and also captured nine other cities.In [-] BC, he attacked Zhao again and met with Zhao general Li Mu.The two were at a standstill for more than a year, and Li Mu was removed by Wang Jian's countermeasures, and Wang Jian successfully took over the state of Zhao.

At first, Jing Ke failed to assassinate the King of Qin, so Ying Zheng sent Wang Jian to attack the state of Yan.Wang Jian did not agree, he knew the truth of all the bows being hidden.In 225 BC, under the command of Wang Jian, the Qin army finally defeated the Chu army.In 222 BC, Ying Zheng unified the princes.

The world was finally unified, and Wang Jian naturally contributed.But Wang Jian was not at ease, because he knew that his status was too high to be promoted, and there was no reward.He knew that this was the so-called Gonggaojiazhu, and he was afraid that the emperor would be afraid of himself, so he asked the emperor, hoping to go home to farm.

Wang Jian said to the first emperor, I am old, I long for the rural life in the countryside, I want to go back to my hometown and enjoy the joy of my family.

However, the first emperor was the first emperor after all, he did not eat this set at all, and directly refused.As wise as Yingzheng, how could Wang Jian not know what Wang Jian was thinking.However, Ying Zhengcai would not be afraid that Wang Jian would threaten him. After all, Qin's military power was still firmly in his hands.Therefore, even after the unification of the six kingdoms, he will use Wang Jian in the future.

So after rejecting Wang Jian, in order to appease him, the First Emperor said to him bluntly: "If you stay, I will not kill you."

No one knew whether Wang Jian was at ease, but the emperor's attitude was clear enough, so Wang Jian no longer asked to return to his hometown, and ended up living his life in peace.

Gao Wushi and Zhu Yijun discussed history at that time, and when he talked about this, he especially emphasized the grand-spiritedness of the first emperor, and told the emperor: the supreme being in the world, should have the magnanimity of the sea and the world.

Zhu Yijun took it seriously, and since then demanded himself with such magnanimity.This is a change brought about by high pragmatism, and it is also due to Zhu Yijun's own personality - Zhu Yijun in history dared to delegate power, which has been explained many times before.

If the example of Wang Jian focuses on the magnanimity of the first emperor, then the example of Guo Ziyi is known to Zhu Yijun from the side of the courtier.

When Guo Ziyi was 40 years old, he served as Shuofang Jiedu envoy, with 758 elite soldiers in hand.After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, he served as "Deputy Prime Minister" and Minister of the Ministry of War.After regaining Chang'an, he was given the official title of Situ and named Dai Guogong.In 762 AD, he was promoted to Zhongshuling and became the real prime minister.In 779 A.D., Guo Ziyi became king of Fenyang County because of his meritorious service.In 781 A.D., Guo Ziyi was honored by the emperor as "Father Shang" and added the title of Taiwei.In [-] A.D., Guo Ziyi passed away, and the imperial court bestowed him with the title of Grand Master, with the posthumous title of "Zhongwu" (Wu Chen's posthumous posthumous title is equivalent to Wen Zheng).And the history books of later generations praised: "The master is not doubted by the master, and the ministers who have power are not afraid."

During Wu Zetian's reign, in order to eliminate opponents, he carried out a major purge of the army and replaced all his cronies.The cronies of Wu Zetian were more successful than they were defeated, and then the Tang Empire made repeated defeats in foreign wars, and the combat effectiveness of the army declined seriously.In view of the sharp increase in border defense pressure, Wu Zetian set up a military department on the basis of the imperial examination system to select talents to enrich the army and stabilize border defense.

Guo Ziyi's legendary and brilliant life began with Wu Zetian's No. 1 martial arts (the martial arts were not called the number one scholar at that time).

Guo Ziyi was born in a scholar-official family in Zheng County, Huazhou. Because his family was in a downturn, Guo Ziyi did not participate in the liberal arts, but in the martial arts.After becoming the "Wu Zhuang Scholar", Guo Ziyi went to work in the Shanyu Duhu Mansion as the Zuowei Changshi.After years of hard work, Guo Ziyi became the envoy of the Tiande army and the prefect of Jiuyuan.After that, because of the jealousy of the boss, Guo Ziyi was idle and has not been reused.The idle life has developed Guo Ziyi's character of being indifferent to humiliation and grandiose.

However, there is a saying that gold will always shine.Guo Ziyi stayed in the position of Tiande military envoy and Jiuyuan prefect until the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.After the outbreak of the An-Shi Rebellion, the problem of the Tang Empire's importance on the outside and less on the inside, and the long-term inheritance of peace, broke out completely.Because An Lushan is also the Jiedushi of Hedong and controls the northern part of the Hedong Road, posing a serious threat to the northern capital of Taiyuan.The center of the Tang Empire hurriedly remembered Guo Ziyi, who had been idle for many years, so he appointed him as Shuofang Jiedu, and did his best to relieve An Lushan's threat to Taiyuan.

Guo Ziyi did not live up to the court's expectations of him, and recovered Hedong effortlessly.After recovering the lost land in Hedong, he began to recover the lost land in Hebei.An Lushan has been operating in Hebei for many years, and its power is relatively stable.In addition, there are a large number of grassland barbarians in Hebei, and these barbarians fully support An Lushan, making Guo Ziyi's plan to recover Hebei difficult.

At this time, brothers Yan Zhenqing rebelled against An Lushan in Changshan County, Hebei, and seventeen counties in Hebei responded immediately, and the situation was good.Faced with such a good situation, Guo Ziyi seized the opportunity to go deep into Hebei, hit the Anshi rebels, and shock the world for a while.

Just when Guo Ziyi was shaking the world and about to destroy the rebels, Tang Suzong listened to the slander and forced Guo Ziyi to stop the attack.After Guo Ziyi stopped the attack, the Anshi rebels immediately seized the opportunity to take a breather, and the situation began to reverse.However, Tang Suzong also sent eunuchs to supervise the army in the early stage to contain Guo Ziyi.

In addition, Suzong also let the eunuch command indiscriminately, causing heavy losses to the Tang army.In this bad form, Guo Ziyi endured humiliation and burdened, first of all, he managed to recover Chang'an and Luoyang, and then cooperated with Li Guangbi, and finally completely defeated the An Shi rebels and restored the Tang Dynasty.

After the Anshi Rebellion was quelled, in view of Guo Ziyi's great contribution and a threat to the imperial power, Tang Daizong took the method of ascending and descending secretly to deprive Guo Ziyi of his military power.Guo Ziyi had no complaints and accepted it calmly.Guo Ziyi's bland performance dispelled Tang Daizong's wariness of him.

Therefore, when Tubo and Huihe joined forces to invade, Tang Daizong sent Guo Ziyi to lead the army again.Tubo and Huihe were so powerful that the Tang army generals did not dare to advance.However, Guo Ziyi had no fear, and rode into the Huihe camp alone, relying on his own prestige to prompt Huihe to retreat.After the Huihe retreated, the Tubos were terrified and retreated together.In this way, Guo Ziyi relieved the foreign aggression without a single soldier.

The above is what Gao Pragmatist said as a clerk for the prince, Zhu Yijun, who was serious about his history. In addition, he also deliberately told a few stories familiar to future generations (Note: I will not give examples one by one, presumably everyone Know).

All in all, this is what happened: Tang Suzong felt that Guo Ziyi's prestige was too high, and wanted to take back his military power, Lao Guo obediently handed over his military power;
Tang Suzong messed up the situation and needed Lao Guo to come out to pick up the trash, and Lao Guo came out obediently;

The old subordinate Wang Yuanzhen and others missed him, didn't like the new chief, and made a fuss. Tang Suzong asked Lao Guo to clean up.

Guanzhong was empty, the Tubos drove straight to seize Chang'an, and Tang Daizong summoned again.Lao Guo, who was shelved by the imperial court, was summoned again and hired twenty cavalry soldiers to go to the national disaster at his own expense;
The old subordinate Gu Wynn was forced to turn against him, Tang Daizong summoned again, and Lao Guo came out to help the emperor wash the ground...

This is a super old scalper who is full of hard work and loyalty. When the emperor encounters such a subject, it is like saving the galaxy in his previous life, right?
There is no such old scalper under Li Shimin and Li Zhi!
In the early years, Li Jing prepared to inform Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty about the plan of Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son against the Sui Dynasty; Li Ji was once Li Tang's enemy and mixed with Wu Zetian in his later years; Su Dingfang was the mortal enemy against Li Tang in the first half of his life; Xue Wanche and several brothers, They were all Li Jiancheng's best friends; Qi Bi and He Li were not like Guo Ziyi, who would kill anyone for the emperor's happiness; even Pei Xingjian could be killed for Ashina Fu Nian, and he had a conflict with Li Zhi and pretended to be sick.

Therefore, any emperor who has a courtier like Guo Ziyi should burn high incense to celebrate!
The question is, why did Gao pragmatically give this example?
Zhu Yijun, who was still a prince at the time, didn't think so much, but now he understands it more and more, because he found out that what Gao Wucheng is doing now is not the rebirth of Guo Ziyi?
Needless to say, the "True Leader for 200 Years" who took the top spot at the beginning, didn't he go to Guangxi because of helping him, the emperor, take the blame?
But Gao Wushi didn't have a single complaint, he left as soon as he said it, and brought back an annex with Annan two years later.

In the next few years, not to mention, Gao pragmatic is simply a firefighter. Wherever there is difficulty, he never refuses and never fails.But for all the tasks that Zhu Yijun gave him, Gao pragmatically ensured that he would do it properly, even better than the emperor expected.

Isn't this Guo Ziyi's rebirth?No, he did a better job than Guo Ziyi. After all, Guo Ziyi was just fighting wars, but he was pragmatic and could manage politics!For example, in the case of Jingying, if it weren't for his high level of pragmatism, who would be able to do it?Only high and pragmatic!He even did it without a hitch!
This kind of courtier, I'm afraid that his merit is higher than the master?

joke!I'm just afraid that I won't be able to use it properly and hold it high enough!
If it weren't for respecting the pragmatic own choice, how could I not be banned today!

However, Zhu Yijun really made up his mind to respect Gao pragmatic's own decision. Therefore, since Wang Jiaping found such a good reason, of course he would not use it.

"Mr. Wang is a veteran in seeking the country. Although I do not doubt the use of people, I will reward you for meritorious service, but in order not to make the world suspicious, this time, I will temporarily suppress the merit of seeking truth. Presumably with the grace of seeking truth, I will not Because of this, there is resentment." Zhu Yijun said indifferently: "This time, the merit is based on seeking truth, and now the award is suppressed. You gentlemen and Yang Qing think how should I reward me, so that people in the world will not laugh at me. Points, tolerant people?"
