Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1332 The Nancha Disturbance ([-])
Regardless of its original function and significance, the matter of "self-declaration and resignation" is nothing more than a face-saving project for the court ministers today, and the emperor will not accept it just because he reads a minister's self-report. If you don't do your job, you will really depose others.

That being the case, "self-declaration of infidelity" will naturally form a certain practice.For example, when self-reporting incompetence, only talking about your own shortcomings without mentioning others is one of them.

Violation of this unspoken rule is one of the reasons why the highly pragmatic self-declaration of infidelity caused an uproar in the foreign court.Although he did not directly say that those colleagues who could not "forgive" him were wrong, it is self-evident what he meant by blatantly expressing contradictions in his self-report.

When he got the news, Wang Xijue was on duty in the cabinet.

Unlike other Xin School officials who were furious when they heard this, Wang Xijue did not show anger, but was first surprised, then frowned and thought hard.

Wang Xijue had heard about the power of Gao Yushi for a long time. Gao was only in his teens at that time, so Wang Xijue didn't think those rumors about Gao Yushi were true.Especially Gao Yushi's works at that time, such as "Longwen Whip Shadow" and "Xinzheng Conversation", although they were only Mongolian books, Wang Xijue also believed that most of them were ghostwritten by others, and Gao Yushi himself was just a fake name.

Later, there was a rumor in the official circles of Shilin that Gao Pragmatic planned everything including Guo Pu's recovery and Zhang Juzheng's downfall, but Wang Xijue didn't believe it at all.He thinks that this is either someone's random guess, or Gao Gong and others are deliberately trying to build up momentum for Gao Pragmatism.

Wang Xijue's attitude changed slightly when Gao Wushi won the top six prizes.At that time, Gao Yushi's real name was very important, and because the examination papers of the Ming Dynasty were to be "published to the world" to show fairness, Wang Xijue read the articles of Gao Yushi's previous examinations.

He felt that there were no obvious flaws in the high-level and pragmatic articles, and his high-level arguments and righteous intentions were beyond criticism, and it was understandable that he did well in the exam.However, Wang Xijue was a little disdainful of Gao Pragmatic's winning the first prize in the imperial examination.

This is not only because Wang Xijue opposed Gao Yushi's policy of advocating business tax collection from a viewpoint, but also because that article caused huge controversy between the ruling and opposition parties.In Wang Xijue's view, the reason why he became the leader of the imperial examination was entirely the result of the emperor's exclusive opinion, so this is an unfair question.

It's just...the court examination is the emperor's speech, and everyone (officials of the Heart School) can't change the result even if they object.

Wang Xijue really began to think that high pragmatism was "really good", after Annan attached himself.As a top student, Wang Xijue couldn't understand how difficult Annan was.

During the heyday of the Ming Dynasty's national power, it was exhausted by a mere Annan. No matter how you look at it, it was a huge loss-making business, so it had to give up.But it was such a gunpowder barrel that Gao Pragmatism recovered easily without spending a single grain of rice and half copper from the imperial court.

This... is indeed a bit powerful.Of course, at this time Wang Xijue still believed that, of course, he had high practical ability, but the reason why he was able to accomplish this feat was because of his own wealth—family and fleet, etc.From Wang Xijue's point of view, it's like Li Chengliang's mighty Liaodong relies on his [-] family members.

It was not until Gao Pragmatism won the Battle of Monan that Wang Xijue truly regarded Gao Pragmatism as the "big trouble" of the School of Mind.After all, in this war, Gao Yushi didn't use many of his servants. He simply controlled Tumed's elite forces by various means, set up tricks in many ways, and set up a series of tricks to defeat Xin Ai and Tumen successively.

Wang Xijue asked himself, even if Gao Yushi was replaced by himself, he couldn't do a better job than Gao Yushi.

Therefore, since then, Wang Xijue has never underestimated Gao Yushi.In Wang Xijue's view, the subsequent Battle of Southern Liaoning was nothing more than a high and normal level of pragmatism-the results were indeed good, but there were actually no surprises.

Afterwards, Gao Wu used the treasure banknotes of the Yunnan War to solve the cost of the Yunnan-Myanmar War. This method really made Wang Xijue amazed, thinking that it was as wonderful as a white wolf with empty hands.

However, Wang Xijue didn't feel that the battle to pacify the Northwest not long ago was so powerful—probably because Gao Yushi's previous military exploits were too outstanding, and Wang Xijue himself was not specialized in military affairs, so he didn't realize Gao Yushi's key points in this battle highlights.

However, it doesn't matter anymore, Wang Xijue has already regarded Gao Yushi as a strong enemy, even if the opponent is just playing normally, so what?People's normal level is already very high!
It is precisely because of this kind of mentality that he attaches great importance to it that the "slandering the monarch case" that Gao Yushi originally designed for him did not appear. Wang Xijue was unmoved and launched the "rectification of the country" war.

Who knew that Gao Yushi would not accept the move. Instead, he used some methods that Wang Xijue could not fully understand but could guess, instigated the emperor to respond with Dinghai Jingcha, diverting the attention of all officials.

So far, Wang Xijue has the most direct understanding of Gao Pragmatic's ability.

In Wang Xijue's view, Gao Yushi is neither like his uncle, who is straight and straight, hard to conceal, and might be easily broken; nor is he like his teacher Guo Pu, who is upright and open, and a gentleman can be bullied.

High pragmatism is like a poisonous snake, usually lurking in the dark, making it difficult for people to detect, but it is not moving, it will bite people, it is the most difficult to deal with.

Since he is a "poisonous snake", it was already surprising that he publicly appeared in "Qiyongshu" before, but now he openly provokes disputes in the self-reporting and incompetence book, what is the reason?Could it be that the poisonous snake suddenly didn't want to rely on poison, thought it had turned into a giant python, and instead wanted to use its strength to convince others?
Wang Xijue always felt that it was not that simple.

After thinking about it, Wang Xijue still got up and went to Shen Shihang's valet.

At this time, Shen Yuanfu was also thinking hard about the motives for this highly pragmatic move. Seeing Wang Xijue's arrival, he understood it, dismissed Yuan Zongdao and others, and invited Wang Xijue to one side to sit down. He asked with a sincere attitude. : "Yuan Yu is here, but for the sake of high truth, what self-disclosure today?"

Yuanyu is Wang Xijue's character. Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue are of the same age. Although it is more respectful to be called by their title, it seems unfamiliar, but it is much more intimate to be called by their name. It is more in line with their same age, fellow countrymen, comrades, and party members close relationship.

Wang Xijue frowned and nodded slightly, pondering: "Presumably Yuanfu has already noticed that there is something wrong with Gao Qiuzhen's actions, right?"

"It's not just wrong, it's simply unimaginable." President Shen Shi sighed, shook his head and said distressedly: "The mistake is indeed due to Gao Qiuzhen's fault. I thought it was Hai Gangfeng's self-report of incompetence."

Wang Xijue nodded and said: "That's right, disregarding the rules and criticizing colleagues in the essay is indeed something that only Hai Gangfeng can do. Judging from Gao Qiuzhen's past performance, his move is really a bit paradoxical."

Shen Shihang still used the old style of climbing up the pole, and immediately asked, "What's Yuan Yu's opinion on this?"

"Great opinion, there really isn't one right now, but I do have a few doubts, and I want to sum it up with Yuanfu."

"Yuan Yu, but it's okay to say, Shi Xing is all ears."

Wang Xijue frowned deeply, and said in thought: "What I can't understand the most at this moment is that there are obviously different opinions within the Real School, Gao Qiuzhen didn't hurry up to find a way to unify the views, persuade Xu Guo, and pull Shen Li back, but On the contrary, he provoked trouble at this time, and put on a stance that he would wait forever with me... Yuansuke, do you think this is reasonable?"

Of course, Shi Shihang also felt that it was unreasonable, very unreasonable.But the words can't be so straightforward, so he twisted his beard and said: "When things go wrong, there must be demons. Although Gao Qiuzhen is young, he has never done unnecessary things. However, judging from the recent situation, his purpose is nothing more than convenience. It is to collect Jiangnan business tax..."

Wang Xijue frowned slightly.

There is nothing wrong with Shen Shixing's sentence, but Wang Xijue is dissatisfied with the use of "nothing but".

Nothing more?Do you, Shen Rumo, think that such a big business tax collection in Jiangnan is nothing more than that?

Shen Shixing was such a smooth guy, Wang Xijue's expression naturally fell in his eyes, he stopped talking, smiled, and said: "Yuan Yu, please be careful, this matter is of course not trivial, but it also depends on what it is compared with. The Practical School regards itself as a reformist, and promoting reform is certainly its "far-reaching ambition", but you, Yuan Yu, also understand that if immediate worries cannot be resolved, there is no way to talk about long-term ambitions."

Wang Xijue was silent for a while, and asked back: "Although this is the case, it can't explain the purpose of Gao Qiuzhen. It is true that collecting Jiangnan business taxes has been his long-cherished wish for many years. When it becomes clear that the chariots and horses are at war, Gao Qiuzhen won't be afraid to fight a snipe and clam with us in the Dinghai Jingcha, but in the end it will benefit the fisherman like Xu Guo and others?"

Shen Shixing did not object to his words, but said: "That's right, this is the strange thing, so I think there must be other reasons for this, which made Gao Qiuzhen have to fight."

"Have to fight?" Wang Xijue narrowed his eyes slightly, and pondered: "Just to divert the attention of all officials from 'rectifying the country'?"

Shen Shixing was also not very confident, frowned and said: "I also know that this reason does not seem to be very sufficient. After all, even if the Guoben matter is completely completed according to Yuan Yuzhi's idea,... how should I put it, at least in the near future Look, it doesn't have a big impact on Gao Qiuzhen, it seems that he doesn't need to react so violently."

Of course Wang Xijue knew what Shen Shixing meant by "at least in the short term, it will not have a great impact on Gao Qiuzhen".It is nothing more than saying that he is still very young today, but he is only 25 years old, and his health does not seem to be in serious condition. Even if the eldest son of the emperor is appointed the crown prince, it will not affect the overall situation of high pragmatism.Under such circumstances, it is certainly unreasonable for Gao Pragmatic to react so violently.

Wang Xijue thought about it: "Gao Qiuzhen still advocates waiting for the queen's son?"

Shen Shixing nodded, and replied: "From the information we have so far, it is indeed so."

Wang Xijue was a little annoyed and said: "I didn't think about it. Even if the queen had some 'friendship' with him when he was released, so what? The queen has been infertile for several years. Now the imperial concubine is favored in the palace, even if Gao Qiuzhen is determined not to stand with us, he should choose to support the third son of the emperor.

If he supports the third son of the emperor, then the imperial concubine will definitely rejoice in the palace and blow the pillow wind in front of the emperor. Wouldn't it be more solid for the holy family to be so high-minded?But he chose to go far away, to burn the empress's cold stove, but he didn't know if the stove had already broken down.I was surprised, between the Empress and him..."

"Yuan Yu!" Shen Shixing stopped in time, and gave him a slight look: "Shen Yan, is this something we can talk about at will? Besides, the queen lives in the middle palace, she is cautious and dignified, there is nothing suspicious , as a subject..."

"Okay, okay, Brother Ru Mo, don't need to say any more, just now Xijue made a slip of the tongue and overstepped." Wang Xijue changed the subject and said, "What I mean is, if we can't understand Gao Qiu's true intentions, we will have many things to do. Just like a blind man touching an elephant, he seems to understand something, but in fact he has never been able to get in."

Shen Shixing pondered thoughtfully, "Yuan Yu, look...Gao Qiuzhen refuses to help the imperial concubine, is it because he is worried that the imperial concubine will inherit her sacred favor?"

Wang Xijue was startled for a moment, then understood Shen Shixing's meaning, his eyes lit up: "Yuanfu is saying that Gao Qiuzhen is worried that once the third son of the emperor is made the crown prince, the power of the imperial concubine will be unstoppable in the future?"

Shen Shixing was not very sure, but said: "This is one point, and there is another point: the imperial concubine seems to be far more passionate about power than the empress empress, if—— I am just hypothesizing: if the emperor has unbearable changes in the future, the imperial concubine Will it..."

Wang Xijue gasped, and blurted out a sentence: "The regency takes power?"

Shen Shixing didn't speak, but Wang Xijue quickly regained his composure, shook his head and said, "No, no."

"Why is it wrong?" Shen Shixing asked back.

Wang Xijue thought about it and said: "It is not without precedent for a queen mother to come to court in this dynasty, but the regulations of this dynasty are different from those of Liu Han and Li Tang. Firstly, as long as the emperor comes of age, the queen mother must return the great government; secondly, if the former emperor is about to collapse, he must entrust The whole world is in the care of ministers. If... I also assume: if the emperor has unbearable changes, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that he will immediately call Gao Qiuzhen into the cabinet with the imperial decree, and then entrust him with Gu's life.

In this way, even if the imperial concubine becomes the empress dowager, if she wants to carry out her decree, she has to agree with Gao Qiuzhen, so why should he worry? "

Wang Xijue had this idea because he didn't know that Gao Gong, the chief assistant of Gu Ming in the original history, had been directly dismissed from office and repatriated by a decree of the two empress dowagers and the young emperor.

In Wang Xijue's eyes, the authority of Gu Ming's chief assistant is unshakable - theoretically speaking, he was "entrusted to the community" by the late emperor.It's like Yang Tinghe, who was also the powerful Gu Ming Chief Assistant who was able to refute Shizong's imperial decree several times.

Queen Mother?At least before that, the Ming Dynasty did not have such a powerful queen mother who could do anything to Gu Ming's chief assistant.This mental set made Wang Xijue's thinking shackles.
