Chapter 135 Public Opinion Gathering Momentum (Part [-])
Of course, high pragmatism doesn't bother me, because it is absolutely necessary to bear this little trouble.

Using the Mansion Newspaper to deliver gossip was a way he had thought up when he was in Sanshen Garden, because the available resources were obvious - Gao Gong suffered a big loss from Ke Dao when he fought with Xu Jie last time. Since the second time, since the auxiliary ministers are in charge, it is natural to mix sand into the Ke Dao, so there are many disciples and old officials who enter the Ke Dao. Among them, because Zhao Zhenji has mastered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is more difficult to mix sand in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Big, so many students entered the sixth subject.

The imperial court newspaper must go through the six departments, so some insiders who collect information will definitely try to find ways to go through the channels of the general administration department and the six departments. Among them, it is simply impossible not to use it.

What's more, it's not that they want to confuse right and wrong, but just let them spread a legendary story in private, and although this story is not completely true, in fact, the difference is not very big, at least judging from the results, Basically, that's the way it is, so that there is no worry about being traced after the fact-we are the officials, we just heard the news, and we didn't report it!Why, I'm a dignified speaker, still speechless?Where did you put Emperor Taizu?
Moreover, Gao Gong's disciples are far more reliable than Zhang Juzheng's disciples. Historically, Gao Gong's downfall, the worst performance of Gao Gong's disciples is just pretending that they have not had much contact with Gao Gong, and the good performance is basically Under the blows of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, "he would never repent", he would rather be demoted and punished, or even lose his official position and end up in the old forest.

Zhang Juzheng's disciples were different. They were good at creating various historical records of the Ming Dynasty. The most famous one was the incident in the early years of Wanli when several disciples publicly impeached their master and minister Zhang Juzheng.

The first person was Liu Tai, who was the imperial censor of Liaodong at that time, and he issued a memorial to impeach Zhang Juzheng in the first month of the fourth year of Wanli for "being good at doing good fortune and scorning the ancestors' law". "Sparse, Juzheng is very angry", the court argued: "For more than two hundred years in the country, I have never heard of those who use disciples to arrange teachers, and the only plan is to go to thank them!" Order the prison, order a hundred court sticks, and garrison far away."

Zhang Juzheng's performance is also very straightforward: "Juzheng's evacuation and rescue is to remove his name from the people." Zhenlong and his brother Guo were all convicted; Taiwan arrived in Xunzhou, not long after, they drank in the garrison's house, and returned to die violently."Yes, losing an official position is not enough to relieve hatred, you have to lose your life!Even your whole family will be punished for this, only the truth can relieve the hatred in your heart.

However, it is a pity that Zhang Juzheng's cruel persecution of Liu Tai not only failed to deter the opponents, but also provoked a larger scale of impeachment, including his disciples Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian.

In the fifth year of Wanli, "Jizheng was killed by his father, and he took the situation as his own."Wu Zhongxing was the first Shu to object, saying, "Father and son live in different places, and there are ten or nine years of inconsistencies in voice and appearance. Once they are abandoned thousands of miles away, your majesty will not let the prostrate stars run away. If you mourn in the coffin, you will definitely want them to go against their will." Love, mourning and pain in the temple, and the responsibility is to blame Mo Yuanyou and tune Yuan Xizai, how can it be love!" He also pointed out that this matter "is the rule of the ages, the four directions of audio-visual... there is no way to change it. By"!
In response to Wu Zhongxing, the next day, "Zhao Yongxian was absent; and tomorrow, Ai Mu and Shen Sixiao were absent."Well, they are all disciples of the Zhang family, and they are really rebellious.

This is very embarrassing.

So Zhang Juzheng was furious, "Sui Zhang Zhongxing waited for four people. Not long after, the Jinshi Zou Yuanbiao Shuzheng, also the court stick; five people, the sound shook the world."To "in the ninth year of Wanli, the Beijing officials were planned, and five people were listed to check their registration, and they will not be recounted."

Why did Liu Tai, Wu Zhongxing, and Zhao Yongxian, as disciples, dare to impeach Zhang Juzheng, who was both the seat lord and the most powerful chief assistant in the history of the Ming Dynasty?
Some scholars in later generations believe that there are roughly three reasons for this:

One is to inherit the tradition of civil officials speaking out since the early Ming Dynasty. Since there have been many civil servants who dared to remonstrate with the emperor in the past dynasties, and Ming Dynasty civil servants have always been particularly active in this matter, it is natural to impeach powerful officials.

The second is that Zhang Juzheng does have something to impeach. The arguments of Liu Tai, Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian and others all have some truth, especially the impeachment of Zhang's two points of "doing good fortune" and "taking love" is more systematic and ethical. This is the reason why Liu Tai claimed that "the friendship between the monarch and his ministers is important, so personal favors cannot be ignored".

The third is the impeacher's consideration of the interests of personal fame, which is what Liu Tai said to be "dead and immortal."The fact that none of the powerful officials after Jiajing had a good death convinced Liu Tai and others that the Zhang family, whose power had risen unprecedentedly, would also not have a good death. The sound shook the world" effect.When Mrs. Zhang loses power, she can be reinstated and even promoted.Or if you don't exist, you can also rely on Zhiyinzi as an official.The fact that Liu, Wu, Zhao and others were rehabilitated after the death of Zhang in the tenth year of Wanli also shows that this judgment is correct.

But in fact, these scholars seem to have overlooked one thing: apart from Zhang Juzheng, there were many other "teachers" or even "enxiang" and "teacher" in the Ming Dynasty. Why were they not impeached by students like this? Such a shocking event happened to Zhang Juzheng?In terms of power, when Emperor Longqing was in power, Gao Gong's power was no worse than that of Zhang Juzheng in the early years of Wanli.Zhang Juzheng still needs to rely on "inner knot Feng Bao" to consolidate his authority, but Gao Gong was able to directly recommend the palm seal of the Supervisor of Rites back then!
Is it true that you, Zhang Juzheng, have no problem dealing with people?

Is there no problem that there will be continuous impeachment by the disciples from left to right?

Long story short, let's get down to business.Now that Gao Wushi knows that Gao Gong’s disciples are relatively reliable, especially the disciples who are now placed in the Ke Dao, almost all of them repay Gao Gong by ending their political lives and not regretting it, then ask them to help A little busy is naturally out of the question.

As for Liu Ting's inability to figure out why Gao Wushi did this, it's actually very simple.Gao Pragmatic needs to use this incident to achieve three goals: first, to make all the officials in the capital feel that Liu Xian is indeed a famous general, even if he only brings a few hundred borrowed ordinary servants, he can force a large force that has been rampant in the Northland for many years The thieves disarmed and surrendered; second, to help Liu Ting increase his popularity, and let some people know in advance that Liu Xian has a son who is a champion of the three armies. To be able to succeed, in the final analysis, doesn't it all come down to Mr. Gao's willingness to borrow his servants to "send troops" to them?

You see, although Mr. Gao is young, he is not bad at being a man and doing things!This is a person from his own family, working for others and eliminating harm for the court!Yi Bo Yuntian, a role model for my generation!

Uh, it's thick-skinned, but it's very pragmatic.

　Uh, I'm thick-skinned, but I still ask for a ticket.
