Chapter 1321 The method of use
Zhu Yijun's imperial edict was written with the imperial pen, not to mention that it did not use any official format, or even use treasures. It only used a private seal after the imperial edict, and wrote "Zhongcui Palace Seal".

Zhongcui Palace was Zhu Yijun's bedroom when he was the crown prince, and this "Zhongcui Palace Seal" was rarely used after his imperial edict, let alone used as a seal of imperial decree.According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, this imperial decree actually does not have any legal effect.

The formats did not match, the treasures used were wrong, and the tone of voice was so plain that it went straight to the second ancestor, but it happened to be written by the imperial pen, and it was the palm seal and the first pen of the chief inspector who came to proclaim the decree.

Obviously, although this "imperial decree" does not have "legal force", it must have special meaning.

In fact, after seeing the "Zhong Cui Palace Seal" on the imperial decree, Gao Wu knew what Zhu Yijun meant.It's unbelievable to say it, but Gao Yushi really believes that although Zhu Yijun's imperial decree seems to be very angry, it is actually an imperial decree asking for help.

Zhu Yijun felt that the matter had reached the point where high pragmatism needed immediate rescue.

Salvation, and nothing else.

As for who to save, this may be debatable, but as long as it is proposed by Zhu Yijun, Gao Pragmatism cannot continue to ignore it.

Zhu Yijun regards Gao Yushi as a classmate, or even as a child. Gao Yushi is not a tree, a tree, a rock, and naturally he will not be emotionless. When it comes to Zhu Yijun's call for help, he can't sit idly by.

For an imperial edict that is not considered an imperial edict, there is no need for a written reply, so Gao Yushi just sighed after reading it, and then said to Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju: "You two can return to the emperor, so I said, 'I will return to the ministry tomorrow'. "

Both Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other.

"You go out and wait first." Huang Mengyu and Gao Wushi have the closest friendship, and he dismissed the eunuchs who followed him with a wave of his hand, and then said to Gao Wushi: "Situ, this matter seems to have a lot to do with Zheng Huangguifei. Shen, do you think it will be..."

"She used me?" Gao Wushi interrupted and asked before Huang Mengyu could finish asking.

"Ah, what our family means is that Concubine Zheng Huang is borrowing the hand of the emperor to use Situ's power."

Isn't that the same?
Gao Wushi glanced at him, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."

Huang Mengyu was a little surprised, and frowned worriedly: "But if this is the case, where is the empress?"

"Are you worried that I will give up my original position of supporting the queen?" Gao Wushi continued to shake his head: "Why should I do this?"

Huang Mengyu glanced at Chen Ju and said, "Old Chen, why don't you talk about it?"

Chen Ju nodded, and cupped his hands to Gao Wushi: "Perhaps Situ still doesn't know. This afternoon, there was already a new rumor in the capital, saying that the empress had injured her roots when she gave birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor, and she would no longer be able to become a queen." Pregnant."

Gao Yushi's eyes were fixed: "Where did it come from?"

"It hasn't been found out, and... I'm afraid it won't be found out either." Chen Ju said with an unchanged expression.

Gao Wushi snorted coldly: "That's true."

However, although "unable to ascertain", everyone knows how this rumor came about.

Chen Ju didn't speak anymore, but Huang Mengyu asked worriedly: "Everyone can make money, and three people can become a tiger. Once this rumor comes out, it is hard to curb the idea that the eldest son of the emperor worships the queen as his aunt and is raised by the queen." gone."

Gao Wushi thought for a while, but he didn't express his opinion, he just said: "I know, you go to persuade the emperor about these things, let him feel relieved, and leave it to me."

Although Huang Mengyu still had something to tell him, he was a man of discernment. He knew that Gao Wuzhen didn't want to talk too much now. He probably wanted to discuss it with a group of important ministers from the Real School, so he didn't dare to disturb him, so he and Chen Ju went together. He bowed his hands, and quickly left.

As soon as they left, Gao Wushi went to the West Wing to look for Liu Xin.

Liu Xin, the confidential secretary, couldn't help him much in these official struggles, so she has been doing other work during this period of time, which mainly has three aspects.

One is to draw a more detailed map of the distribution of resources in Southeast Asia, which is divided into a general map and a detailed map of each kingdom.The workload of this matter is very heavy, because Liu Xin has been in this world for more than 20 years, and it is not easy to draw all by memory. Sometimes, it is necessary to combine the exploration information sent by Jinghua to determine whether there is or not, or to determine the specific location.

The second is that she is going to set up a staff group for Gao Yushi, whose main role will be in the military, and the military affairs in southern Xinjiang will be the main ones.This staff group is not linked to the existing military command system in southern Xinjiang itself, nor does it have command authority. It usually works mainly on military training, logistics preparation planning, strategic direction, and tactical deduction of various countries in southern Xinjiang. It is equivalent to a highly pragmatic individual. "General Staff".

The third is that she is considering helping Gao Yushi to reorganize the organizational structure of Jinghua Group itself. This point is still under study, and there is no specific reference.The only thing that can be determined is the motive: Jinghua is already too large, even if it is divided into several major industrial departments, the power under the jurisdiction of each department is too large, and the span of the "jurisdiction" is also huge-from Tumet to Malacca.This will reduce administrative efficiency in terms of the existing transportation convenience during the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is also conducive to the liberation of highly pragmatic individuals.Liu Xin felt that Gao Wushi's current working hours were too long. He had to deal with the affairs of the household department during the day, and as the de facto party leader of the Real School, there were many other things that required him to be distracted.So at night, he has to work overtime to deal with Jinghua's internal affairs. He often goes to bed in the middle of the night and wakes up before dawn, which is obviously not a scientific schedule.

Now that he is young, he may still be able to persist. How about waiting another ten or twenty years?Iron Man is exhausted.

Therefore, in Liu Xin's view, it is necessary to learn from Cheng Zu's method and create a "cabinet" for Gao Yushi, as a senior counselor department to handle Jinghua's internal affairs, to share Gao Yushi's workload, especially those who can "" Execute by example" section.

These three tasks are very heavy, so Liu Xin is also very busy, and she doesn't have much time to talk to Gao Yushi every day.When Gao Yushi came to the West Wing, Liu Xin was also working at the desk full of official documents, writing hard.

"The secretary has something to do, it's okay...cough!" Gao Wushi realized that his thoughts were wandering, and coughed lightly at the door.

Fortunately, Liu Xin was able to write well, and Gao Yushi didn't realize he was here until Gao Wushi coughed heavily.

She raised her head, seeing that she was so pragmatic, she couldn't help being a little surprised: "Didn't you just say that you were going to receive the order again, why come to me when you have time?"

Gao Wushi sighed and said, "The emperor forced me to express my opinion."

"What do you mean?"

Gao Wushi didn't need to hide it from her, he told her frankly what happened just now.

Liu Xin frowned and said, "You know that I'm not good at these things, why do you still tell me? I can't give you any good advice."

"I just hope you can help me from the perspective of Imperial Concubine Zheng: If you were Imperial Concubine Zheng, what would you think and do at this moment?"

"Oh, I see. You think that my level is about the same as that of Concubine Zheng in this kind of matter. You are used to fighting with a group of old foxes. You are afraid that you will overestimate her, so you let me 'put yourself in the shoes' Just think about what she's going to do, don't you?"

Gao Wushi curled his lips: "If you must think so..."

"Okay, let me think about it." Liu Xin didn't seem to mind being "underestimated" by Gao Yushi, so she waved her hand and began to think seriously.

Gao Wushi didn't interrupt, but just walked over to look at what she wrote, who knew that Liu Xin rolled up the manuscript, shook her head and said, "I don't like to show the 'textbook' to others."

Gao Wushi couldn't help laughing, so he had no choice but to give up, and sat down on the other side to wait for her reply.

After a while, Liu Xin said: "If it were me, first of all, I would make one thing clear: I cannot be your enemy, at least not now."

"Why? Do you think what happened last time has given her enough warning?" Although Gao Yushi used a questioning tone, there were not many "doubts" in his words when he said it. It seemed that he had some doubts about it. expected.

"This is one aspect." Liu Xin replied.

"What about the other side?" Gao Wushi asked again.

"On the other hand, your use value is very high and irreplaceable."

Gao Wushi frowned slightly: "What aspect?"

"Many aspects." Liu Xin said, she pursed her lips slightly, and said, "I have something that you may not like to hear..."

"Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. There is no need to be like this between you and me. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

Liu Xin shrugged and said, "Based on what I know about women in this era, the vast majority of them don't think about how to solve the problem at the first time, but they will take it She looks at the men around her, hoping to use the power of these men to solve their problems. Considering the identity of Concubine Zheng, she will probably think the same way."

Gao Yushi didn't look surprised, and asked calmly, "So?"

"So, her first object of use is of course the emperor, but since the emperor will be restricted by the ancestral system in this matter, she urgently needs a helper. The biggest role of this help is to help the emperor break through the ancestral system shackles—who do you think this man is?"

Gao Wushi laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to the wrong love, I am so terrified."

Liu Xin didn't smile. Instead, she propped her chin with one hand, tilted her head slightly, and thought about it: "I'm quite sure that she would think that way, but what would she do... I'm a little confused. Not sure."

Gao Yushi put away the ridicule and asked, "Why?"

"After all, I'm not her, and I don't know much about her. I don't know how different my personality is from hers." Liu Xin spread her hands: "For things like this, generally speaking, the most direct way is to bribe you, but you ...I couldn't think of how to buy her in her capacity."

There is the simplest and most direct way for a woman to "buy" a man, but the identity of Concubine Zheng Huanggui determines that this method is impossible.

Apart from this unspoken method, the remaining means of bribery are nothing more than two: power or money.

The money can be crossed out in advance, how can Concubine Zheng Huanggui have so much money to buy Gao Yushi?It's not bad for Gao Yushi to bribe her.

So what about right?Theoretically speaking, as the emperor's favored concubine, although the harem of the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to interfere in politics, finding some opportunities to blow pillow wind around the emperor should actually be effective for many officials.

The problem is that, given the status of high pragmatism in the emperor's mind, this pillow breeze is really dispensable.It can be said that the emperor's trust in Gao Pragmatism cannot be increased, and it has no effect at all whether the imperial concubine Zheng helps or not.And she can't use "reverse pillow style" to threaten Gao Yushi - she was only educated a few days ago.

Gao Wushi thought for a while, and reminded: "The word "buy", judging from the current situation, has a big problem in itself."

Liu Xin was taken aback: "What's the problem?"

Gao Wushi said indifferently: "The so-called bribery is mostly the above versus the bottom, but I think...the imperial concubine Zheng will not dare to have such an attitude towards me now."

Oh, that's what it means.Liu Xin nodded: "It makes sense."

Gao Wushi said: "So you might as well 'substitute' it from another angle: If she wants to cooperate with me, what might she do?"

Liu Xin thought for a while, then pondered: "Since it is cooperation, it must be mutually beneficial. Is there anything that can be mutually beneficial with you?" She hesitated for a while and asked: "If her son becomes the prince, Can you benefit from this?"

Gao Wushi did not answer directly, but said: "You mean if I support Zhu Changxun as the prince, can I benefit? Then let me ask you, what is the difference between supporting Zhu Changxun and supporting Zhu Changluo?"

"I think there is still a difference." Liu Xin frowned and said, "Zhu Changluo has a group of people from the School of Mind behind him, but Zhu Changxun probably has no one behind her except her imperial concubine Zheng. So, once you support me, we will support you." Does it mean that he supports him on behalf of the Real School, and with the joint efforts of the inside and outside, is this matter almost settled? If you calculate it this way, won’t it be Conglong in the future... Oh no, it’s the merit of supporting him? This benefit should not Small."

"You are only counting the benefits, not the disadvantages." Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "If I do this, it will be morally untenable. It’s all brought to the opposite of Confucian orthodoxy. You know, the degree of danger in this is difficult for even me to accurately estimate.”

As expected, Liu Xin didn't consider this point, and suddenly realized after hearing the words.So she thought about it, and said distressedly: "This is difficult..."

Who knew that Gao Yushi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, opened his eyes wide and said, "Fuck, I thought of a possibility."

Liu Xin was taken aback: "What's possible?"

Gao Wushi gasped: "Conversely use the method proposed by Wang Xijue!"

"Uh, you mean..."

Gao Wushi stood up abruptly: "Didn't Wang Xijue propose to ask the eldest son of the emperor to worship the queen as his aunt, so as to solve the biggest problem of the difference between his concubine and concubines? But since Wang Xijue can support Zhu Changluo's worship of the queen as his aunt, why can't I support Zhu Changxun's worship of the queen?" The empress is the aunt? The so-called establishment of a son is the first step in establishing a son, and no one can establish a son. If I can support Zhu Changxun in worshiping the queen as his mother, then at least in principle, the fact that he is younger than Zhu Changluo is no longer important Already!"
