Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1333 The Nancha Disturbance ([-])
However, Shen Shixing did not agree with Wang Xijue's opinion. He shook his head and said, "Even if the emperor ordered Gao Qiuzhen to join the cabinet according to Cai's assumption, it is impossible to directly use him as the chief assistant. After all, Gao Qiuzhen is only Gengchen." Jinbang, the qualifications are too low, it is used for officials, or it can be said to be used according to their aptitude, but if they are promoted to be the first and the general government, it is bound to be difficult to convince the public. If he can't be the first and assistant, why should he worry about the imperial concubine at that time? Is it unauthorized?"

After hearing this, Wang Xijue thought about it for a while, and felt that Shen Shixing's considerations were reasonable, so he had to change his mind again, and pondered: "As Yuanfu said, there should be other reasons for Gao Yushi to be so worried now. gone."

Shen Shixing sighed, and said, "Yuan Yu, tell me...the two of us may be thinking too deeply?"

Wang Xijue couldn't help being taken aback when he heard it, his eyes were clearly disapproving, but it was just inconvenient to speak out.

It's no wonder he disagrees with Shen Shixing's statement. It's not that Shen Shixing has never had the experience of fighting with Gao Yushi before, both indirectly and directly, and so far has not won a victory, only suffered small losses and suffered big losses. the difference.

Of course, Shen Shixing's level is not bad, and Wang Xijue knows him well enough. Since he is bound to suffer every time, it can be seen that it is not easy to be highly pragmatic.In this way, you, Shen Yuanfu, still suspect that you are thinking too deeply, isn't that a bit unreasonable?
Shen Shixing also saw Wang Xijue's doubts, and explained: "Yuan Yu must not misunderstand, I don't mean that Gao Qiuzhen didn't think carefully, but that there are some factors that make him unable to act according to his own ideas. , that’s why he made such an unreasonable move.”

Oh I got it.Only then did Wang Xijue suddenly understand, and then immediately thought about it, and after pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "I am afraid that what Yuan Fu said just hit the point."

"Oh?" Shen Shixing immediately asked, "What's the solution?"

Wang Xijue said in a deep voice: "There is only one person in the world who can force Gao Qiuzhen to change his original intention and do such a reckless act."

Shen Shixing's pupils suddenly dilated, and he blurted out: "Your Majesty!"

"That's right, only the emperor can do this." Wang Xijue's eyes sparkled, and he said in a concentrated voice: "It seems that I have underestimated the pressure on the emperor from the matter of rectifying the country... just because the pressure is too great for him, so he This pressure was transferred to Gao Qiuzhen, hoping that his classmate could help him. Therefore, this forced Gao Qiuzhen to create troubles during the Beijing inspection, and the troubles would get bigger and bigger. it is good."

Shen Shixing suddenly realized, took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and said, "That's right, that's right, this can only be explained in this way."

Wang Xijue smiled with his beard twisted, and he looked like he was looking forward to himself.

Shen Shixing saw his expression in his eyes, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he complimented him: "Great talent Yuan Yu, if I had entered Fengge early in the past to help me, how could I be in the predicament I am in today if I have learned a lot?" "Fengge refers to the cabinet, which is referred to by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China during Wu Zetian's period.

Wang Xijue smiled reservedly, shook his head and said: "The world is impermanent, and there is nothing to say about the past."

Seeing that the effect of his words had already been achieved, Shen Shixing continued: "Although Gao Qiuzhen was forced to create trouble, as far as we are concerned, isn't it difficult to handle?"

Wang Xijue was still immersed in his complacency. When he heard Shen Shixing's words, he still couldn't react, and subconsciously asked, "Why is it so difficult?"

Shen Shixing sighed: "Yuan Yu, think about it, since Gao Qiuzhen was forced by the emperor to create trouble, then his purpose is divided into two: first, he wants to divert us from our desire to rectify the country. The focus is to give the emperor time to think of a solution; secondly, he took the opportunity to bring the business tax issue to the table.

In this way, if we want to compete with him on the business tax issue, then his goal of causing trouble will be achieved.On the contrary, if we don't give him a chance to cause trouble, we can only choose not to argue with him. No matter what the Jingcha incident turns out to be, as long as it goes away earlier.But in this way, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him from collecting commercial taxes in Jiangnan. "

Wang Xijue's complexion changed drastically, and a sullen expression soon appeared, and he said solemnly: "You are so high-minded, it really doesn't hurt you to die, there is always something for him to gain when he advances and retreats!"

Shen Shixing sighed, looking rather helpless, but thought to himself: Now do you know how difficult this kid Gao Yushi is?This guy is a hedgehog as agile as a tiger, and he will roll towards you at every turn. You can't touch him, or you will get hurt if you touch him.But if you are afraid of getting hurt, you can only avoid his edge, but in this way, you give way to him.

The so-called dilemma of throwing rats is referring to such a situation.

However, Wang Xijue refused to admit defeat so easily, and quickly proposed a method, saying: "I have already sent many private letters before, and now I have to send them. It's okay to say in the North Cha, but there must be a war in the South Cha There was an uproar, and it was impossible to stop suddenly.

For the current plan, the only way is to unite the honest and lofty people, and quickly defeat his strategy of wide-ranging business tax collection with a thunderous force.Then he brought the attention of the government and the opposition back to the issue of Zhengguo, so that he could not take care of both ends, and he was overwhelmed, and the whole line collapsed. "

In all fairness, Wang Xijue's idea looks really good. If Shen Shixing has a better understanding of the art of war, he may find that this move is somewhat similar to the "inside maneuver" tactic: it is to concentrate troops, first destroy part of the enemy, and then quickly maneuver by taking advantage of the inside , Non-stop, use fast to attack slow, and then break the enemy's other part.

In the original history, Nurhachi used this tactic in the Battle of Sarhu.

But tactics belong to tactics. The most important point of this tactic is that after one's own army concentrates its forces, it can really quickly defeat a part of the enemy's army.If the concentration of forces still fails to defeat a part of the enemy's army, or even if it cannot be defeated quickly, then this tactic can only be declared bankrupt.

Shen Shixing did not "tacticalize" this matter, but he still understood the truth and saw the key points very clearly, so he immediately expressed doubts: "How to quickly break through its strategy of extensive business tax collection?" ?”

Wang Xijue frowned and said, "Didn't I just say that? Unite with righteous people..."

Shen Shixing took the initiative to interrupt Wang Xijue's rare words, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Wang Xijue frowned, and even seemed a little dissatisfied, and asked with a frown: "My lineage of mind learning has been established for decades before other real schools, although at the moment it can only be divided equally in the temple, but below the fourth and fifth ranks, it is comprehensive. Taking advantage, let alone in Jiangnan and other places, our chances of winning are even greater... Excuse Xijue for being stupid, I don’t know where the difficulty lies?"

Shen Shixing sighed: "I blame the 'little minister' for this matter, but the emperor is also the one to blame."

Wang Xijue was startled when he heard that, then his complexion changed slightly, and he said in an ugly way: "Yuanfu is saying... the emperor is going to sideline?"

"It's conceivable." Shen Shixing sighed again, shook his head, and said, "Gao Qiuzhen's move was originally to ease the pressure on the emperor, and the emperor is naturally aware of it. If this is the case, if Gao Qiuzhen Seeking the truth to be deflated in the court, or being impeached a lot, does Yuan Yu think that the emperor will not protect him?"

Wang Xijue was furious in his heart, although he couldn't criticize the emperor, he couldn't help but said: "If the people in the world are discussing violently, like a river flowing backwards, wouldn't the emperor...don't think deeply?"

Shen Shixing was silent for a while, and after a while, he asked calmly, "What if the emperor doesn't?"

Wang Xijue's eyes widened immediately, his face full of disbelief.

Shen Shixing's expression remained calm, and he asked calmly again: "If the emperor refuses, what can we do? Please resign?"

Wang Xijue said angrily: "If you resign, please resign! If the sage can turn a deaf ear to the public discussion of the world, what else can we do as assistant ministers? What's the benefit of keeping it like this!"

Shen Shixing sighed again, and then asked softly: "It's easy to ask for resignation, even if the emperor refuses, I can return home with the crown. But, has Yuan Yu ever thought about it, when I leave, where will the court go? In the future All the people in the imperial court are real learners, we have worked hard all our lives, but in the end we can only do this, how should we explain it to the students of the younger generation after a hundred years?"

Wang Xijue was at a loss for words for a while, and Shen Shixing said again: "Furthermore, it is easy for me to wait for this departure, but the commercial tax still has to be collected? Isn't the country still in vain? After I return to my hometown, how should I explain to the officials, gentry, and elders in the south of the Yangtze River? ?”

The breath from Wang Xijue's nostrils was a little hot, he gritted his teeth again and again, and after a long while, he said angrily: "I just don't believe that in the past, Lord Huating could cause the world to turn upside down, even if Mu Miao himself did so. , and had to let Gao Xinzheng go back to his hometown. I predict that today's trend will be better than the past, how can we be undefeated and be a mere high-level seeker!"

"At this moment, at that moment." Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "When Lord Huating turned his back, he took advantage of the prestige of austerity, the advantage of speaking, the convenience of the late emperor, and the predominance of the high party. Only in this way was Gao Xin Zheng Ye forced to retreat. The current situation is quite different. Apart from Shi Xingyan being the chief assistant, what advantage do we have?

The emperor has been in power for 15 years, and even the queen mother has returned to power for several years.In the past few years, the imperial court regained Annan, controlled the right and Mongolia, pacified the southern border, and looked down on the remnant Yuan.But if you take a closer look, whose achievement is this?This is not only the achievement of the emperor, but also the achievement of seeking truth!In terms of power and influence, how can we compare with it? "

Shen Shixing shook his head, looked at Wang Xijue, who was stern and silent, and continued: "Let's talk about the way of speaking. Originally, when Duke Huating left the throne, I had an advantage over the way of speaking. There is a lot of sand mixed in, but we can barely maintain this advantage, at least the position of Zuodu Yushi is always firmly in our hands.

And now?Zuodu Censor changed hands as a last resort, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate may still be able to rely on slightly more manpower to barely maintain a slight advantage, but the rising stars of practical studies gradually control the six subjects, such as Xiao Liangyou and others, who are more selfish .In the scientific path, it is hard to say that I have the ability to overwhelm them.

As for the high party status, needless to say, although the number of practical students is not as large as mine, they occupy important positions everywhere. Even in various places in the south of the Yangtze River where my generation dominates, they have installed many important officials.Although the number of these people is small, the effect is great. In addition, Hai Gangfeng and others, although they claim to be gentlemen and not party members, their actions are mostly practical.Alas, I think that although this trend is easy to start, it may be difficult to stop..."

It was only then that Wang Xijue realized that Shen Shixing was in a difficult position to support the dangerous situation on his own. Although he was a majestic Yuanfu, he seemed to be under one man and above ten thousand, but in fact there were constraints everywhere, and he couldn't let go of his hands and feet. Whatever he wanted to do would be blocked. stop.

In particular, the most troublesome point here is that many concepts of the Mind School do not match the Emperor's - this is wrong, Wang Xijue thought about it, it should be said that Gao Pragmatic has instilled some extremely wrong ideas in the Emperor!As a result, it created an embarrassing situation that no matter what the School of Mind did, it seemed that they were singing against the emperor.

But is this wrong?As a minister, should he obey the emperor in everything, without distinction?The more Wang Xijue thought about it, the angrier he became.

"According to what Yuanfu said, what else can I do? Why don't we just admit defeat and let Gao Qiuzhen mess around! No matter what he does, he will still be a civil servant, and he can't send someone to my house when the time comes. The police arrested me and cut me off. Hmph, if he really wants to do this, I, Wang Xijue, have my head here, but I am not afraid of his knife."

Shen Shixing said with a wry smile: "Why does Yuan Yu have to say such angry words? The country's affairs are difficult, and our generation is righteous to build a monument and set up a banner for the world's righteous way. Don't let people with lofty ideals think that their hearts and learning will be lost, and they want to vote for it. How can you be depressed, give up on yourself when you encounter some setbacks, abandon the most reasonable and avoid the world?"

Shen Shixing's words were very humiliating, Wang Xijue was at a loss for words after hearing it, and was speechless for a long time.

After a while, Wang Xijue silently took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing didn't know what it was, so he took it and asked, "What is it written?"

Wang Xijue said expressionlessly: "The nursery rhyme that came out suddenly last night...in fact, it's not a nursery rhyme, it's a poem, "One Cut Plum"—I think, this poem is probably written for the two of us."

Shen Shixing was quite surprised when he heard the words, but it is not a good sign to regard a word as a "nursery rhyme". Since ancient times, such "nursery rhymes" that popped up out of nowhere are almost not good.

He opened it worriedly, and saw that the note was indeed a song "Yijianmei":
The official career should be refined, the Jingxin is often connected, and the charcoal is always abundant.Don't talk about current affairs and be a hero, just be mellow and humble.Ministers are calm in economics, don't show extraordinary achievements, don't talk about loyalty, all kinds of personnel and affairs should be vague, and there is no need to refute or discuss.

There is nothing to do in all directions, and every year is prosperous, the fortune of the country is prosperous, and the fortune of the government is smooth. Everyone praises and agrees, so that the good and the bad will bridge the gap.There are no disasters and no difficulties to the Sangong, the wife is honored, the son is a doctor, and the future generations will be endless, not Wenzheng, but Wenzhong.

"Snapped!"

Shen Shixing slapped the note on the table and said angrily, "Zhuzi! You are too deceitful!"
