Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1711 Post-war Waves ([-]) Proposal of King Shen
The attitudes of civil servants, generals, and nobles are relatively clear so far.Originally, the attitude of the supervisor of ceremonies is also very important, but it seems that the supervisor of rites has chosen to remain silent on this matter. It is not clear what the reason is, in short, he has no attitude.

On this point, even though Gao Mo managed to get in touch with Chen Ju, Chen Ju didn't give a clear answer—in other words, he just said a scene, which was of no practical significance.

Gao Mo was actually a little dissatisfied with this, but Liu Xin was silent for a while after hearing this and said it was okay, but she did not explain the reason, which made Gao Mo feel a little uneasy, and always felt a little unreliable in his heart, so he put all these situations together. And wrote it in a letter to Gao Yushi.

As usual, it takes two to three days for Gao Pragmatic’s reply letter to be sent back to the capital. Today was supposed to be the day when the reply letter was delivered, but the actual result was that the reply letter did not arrive and the memorial arrived—that is, the memorial requesting to resign from the Mongolian Yuan Jinglue .

Since Gao Yushi not only asked for resignation, but he had actually returned to Yanqing Prefecture in the customs, to some extent, it could even be said that he had "leaved with the crown" this time, the difference was that he did not "leave", but instead Back", took the initiative to rush back to the capital.

This is undoubtedly an explosive news, so that the major newspapers who got the news were stunned, and then silently scrapped some of the manuscripts they had written before, hesitating how to describe it again.

Now the situation facing all forces in the capital has suddenly become complicated. Gao Yushi suddenly gave up his military power on the front line of the war and returned to Beijing. This is the first time among the military commanders in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Respond quickly and reasonably based on experience.

There are two big questions before everyone: the first is whether Gao Yushi is guilty of abstaining from military power and "hanging the crown" in this way; the second is what attitude everyone should face after he returns to Beijing.

Military power is no different than other powers. If the front line is still fighting fiercely and he abstains from power, it can be regarded as fleeing the battle. In theory, he will be punished. If it is serious, he will lose his position and resign.Of course, according to the status of the high-level pragmatic minister, unless the front line suffers a disastrous defeat and the loss is huge, his head is still guaranteed.

But the problem now is that Gao Yushi is returning to Beijing after a big victory, and the Chahar Mongolian army is fleeing westward like wild horses running wild.Li Rusong said that he was ordered to pursue him, but in fact Gao Yushi gave him the order to "chase the enemy to the outside of the Mongolian border, and there is no need to attack by force." Er and the main forces of the Waikalka Division turned around and put on a deadly battle posture, Li Rusong retreated and waited for changes.

Then it is conceivable that under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for Meng Yuan Jinglue's subordinates to suffer a disastrous defeat.Unless the Heart School ordered Li Rusong to suffer a disastrous defeat, and Li Rusong had a brain twitch and really gave away his own elite, it was basically impossible to appear.

Not to mention whether Li Rusong will follow such an order, the biggest problem now is that the Heart School cannot contact Li Rusong at all—he has run too far.

According to the current information, he had arrived at Yiji Nai at least four days ago, which is about 1000 to [-] miles north of Ganzhou, Gansu Province. In later generations, it was probably near Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia.It is only [-] or [-] miles west from here to Hami City. If we say that the border into the East Chagatai Khanate is even shorter, it is only [-] or [-] miles.All in all, it went to the western part of Inner Mongolia for later generations.

The Heart School made it clear that Li Rusong couldn't be contacted, and it was impossible to artificially create a big defeat, and now it can only be counted according to the big victory in the battle of Yuan Yuan.However, some people were dissatisfied, especially some young officials from the School of Mind suggested that regardless of Gao Yushi's intentions for returning to Beijing this time, it is very appropriate to give him the hat of abandoning the army.

However, Wang Xijue, who has always been known for his downfall, stood up this time and clearly opposed this proposal.Wang Xijue thought in his heart that this approach was not only meaningless, but also extremely unmannered. There was a kind of toad jumping on the instep of the instep—a disgusting act that didn't bite, and a person with a self-confident status simply didn't bother to do it.

Of course, he thought this way in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly, so he used the excuse that Gao Yushi was blocked by his great achievements in defeating Chahar, and other trivial matters would not be cared about by the emperor at all. There is no point in making the emperor unhappy. Instead of working hard on such leftover materials, it is better to find some big materials that can really threaten high pragmatism.

But what big news can high pragmatism have?It's not that I haven't tried it in the past, such as the temptation to form a self-contained country in southern Xinjiang several times, but the emperor didn't take it seriously at all, and even made a half-truth last time, and took out a "Dingnan Governor" government" title.

Although the "Dingnan Protectorate" has not been established, it reflects the emperor's thoughts from the side.The emperor didn't take those pestilent places in southern Xinjiang seriously, even if he heard that Gao Wushi treated the kings of southern Xinjiang as puppets, he didn't care.As for raising hundreds of thousands of private soldiers, I don't know whether the emperor doesn't believe this data at all, or thinks those soldiers are vulnerable. In short, judging from the results, they have not attracted attention.

The Heart School doesn’t have any reliable information network in southern Xinjiang. In the past, Liu Shouyou went to check most of the information. After Liu Shouyou’s accident, the sources of these information were cut off. Get it right.

So the Heart School discussed and discussed, and felt that the southern border was just leftovers, not enough to make the emperor vigilant.If you want to really drive a wedge between the monarch and his ministers, you have to start from the inside of Daming.

Inside Daming, Gao Yushi used to have a lot of points that had the greatest opportunity to arouse the emperor's suspicion. Later, he voluntarily gave up his direct influence on Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and directly removed most of them.There are still opportunities for the emperor to consider him a threat. There are probably only two aspects: one is his prestige in the frontier army and the command he currently has, and the other is his strong alliance with the Jingnan noble group.

The former means Gao Wushi's influence in the main military force of Ming Dynasty - the frontier army, but it is not easy to use this to make the emperor doubt Gao Wushi.After all, the military command power of the Ming Dynasty has always been very stable. As long as the high-level pragmatists have not been authorized, they will not be able to command anyone without a tiger charm.

As for Gao Wushi's call for ascending to the top, the towns on the nine borders immediately changed their flags and flags. Not to mention that the emperor would not believe such a thing, even the officials of the Mind School couldn't say it.If the frontier army was such a fool, wouldn't Wang Ji and Wang Yue have the same ability back then?

At this time, the authority of the Great Ming Center was still unquestionable, and everyone subconsciously recognized one point: the power of civil servants to command the army was granted by the emperor, and civil servants did not usually command the army, so no matter how great the military power was, it could be deprived only by an imperial decree.

In this way, the frontier army seems to be a difficult card to play, so we have to start with the honorable side.

The relationship between Gao Yushi and the nobles—especially the Jingnan noble family is extremely close. This is well known in the world. After all, the huge maritime trade alliance cannot be hidden.

In the past, this kind of intimacy was relatively sensitive, but due to the evolution of Daming for more than 200 years, it has not been really taken seriously.After all, the nobles in the northern and southern capitals have long been involved with various forces, whether it is official or private, there are few nobles who are not involved.

In the official arena, they have both estrangement and alliance with the civil official group, and the relationship between them is complicated. Many nobles like to pretend to be elegant, so they often associate with celebrities at that time. Basically, they are regarded as good talk rather than a threat to the imperial power. ——Many civil servants are also pretentious because they make friends with respected nobles. After all, people carry people in sedan chairs!

Among the people, they formed an alliance of interests with many local tyrants, gentry and wealthy households.For example, behind the salt merchants in Yangzhou, there is basically a nobleman or a family of eunuchs, which is also a tacit secret.In the words of later generations, the nobles had already owned some white gloves before the Sea Trade Alliance appeared.

But now and then, in the past, everyone can benefit from it. You pay half a year to me, and the distribution of spoils is relatively balanced. Of course, you can't break the rules casually.But now the situation has changed. Seeing that Gao Wushi continues to develop like this, I am afraid that in a few days, the Maritime Trade Alliance will eat meat, and the rest will at most have a mouthful of soup. Well, this soup will be taken away.

It is tolerable or unbearable!At this time, there is no need to pay attention to this much. We must inform the world of the wolf ambitions of the high-level civil servants in collusion with the nobles, and kill this evil trend for the Ming Dynasty, so as to return the world to a bright future!
In fact, Wang Xijue did not quite agree with this opinion, and he still held that attitude: when Gao Yushi had just made such great achievements, he also voluntarily gave up the 60 army in his hands, and when he returned to Beijing with only 500 people, he forcibly It doesn't look like it will be of much use to frame him.

But now the voices within the Heart School were too strong, even Wang Xijue didn't dare to continue to object, so he had to turn his attention to Shen Shixing, hoping that Shen Yuanfu would come to suppress it and stop a group of young people messing around.

It's a pity that Shen Shixing had other ideas this time, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Although the success or failure is unpredictable, you might as well give it a try."

Now the young officials were happy, while the mature and prudent Xinxue Party members frowned deeply, especially Wang Xijue, who looked at Shen Shixing half surprised and half dissatisfied. He didn't believe that Shen Shixing would misunderstand his signal just now.

But Shen Shixing did not explain, but continued to instruct everyone to let everyone not forget the previous plan while stumbling Gao Yushi, so now it needs to be divided into two groups, one group criticizes Gao Wushi for colluding with nobles, and the other group holds Gao Pragmatism made him a knight.

Until the rest of the people left Shen University Scholars' Mansion, Wang Xijue remained sullen and did not speak, but he did not get up to leave either.

Shen Shixing walked up to Wang Xijue and sat down beside Wang Xijue with a smile on his face, and persuaded in an extremely gentle tone: "Brother Yuan Yu, I understand what you are thinking, but the timing is not good right now...

Before that, we had not made much progress in dealing with Gao Qiuzhen, but now that he has made such great achievements, the threat to my lineage of Xinxue cannot be further increased, and it is reasonable for the rising stars to be unable to hold back.We also need to give them a vent, otherwise, before Gao Qiuzhen takes action, something big may happen inside us.

As for the collusion with the nobles, it is a crime that can be said to be true or not. If the emperor is worried about Gao Qiuzhen, then this crime is a real crime. Let it go, don't care at all.

That being the case, what's the big deal about letting them scold them in public?Right now, the imperial court is in troubled times. Although the attack on the Yuan Dynasty is over, the Cao Jun riot probably has little stamina left, but the Bozhou Rebellion is not so easy to settle.At such a time, the emperor must not pay much attention to these voices..."

As soon as he said this, Wang Xijue understood that in Shen Shixing's eyes, this kind of attack was nothing more than an idle move. It is good to be useful, but it is not a hindrance if it is useless, just let them go.

However, Wang Xijue still sighed and shook his head, and said, "Don't pick it up, what's the use of being so eager for quick success? Gao Qiuzhen is currently freezing three feet from the cold, so he has to use the toughness that can be pierced by water to fight against him. Only when he really shows his big flaws can he kill him with a single blow, but they have to work hard on these things...

Yuanfu, Gao Qiuzhen's purpose of retreating this time is to test, not only to test the emperor's will, but also to test our city.Let this group of children mess up now, I'm afraid Gao Qiuzhen will really look down upon him. "

"It's good to underestimate." Shen Shixing didn't seem to care, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Yu, if Gao Qiuzhen is always so cautious, when will his wisdom show a 'big flaw'? I wonder very much." , it's better to just use the tricks like this and let him gradually become more self-confident, so that it will be easier in the future."

"There must be a 'future'." Wang Xijue shook his head and said: "This son's actions are often intertwined. If one can't be suppressed, the other can't be suppressed. Before long, the situation may get worse. How can life be good then?"

Shen Shixing suppressed his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Before we hoped that he would suffer a setback in this battle, so that the various plans could be implemented step by step. However, Brother Yuan Yu, you have also seen that these are really done. It's useless, and if one can't be suppressed, it can't be suppressed.

Now I have to think, since it is unlikely that he will lose if he leads the army himself, why don't we look more broadly?He won't lose, but it doesn't mean others won't either.Now the war in Bozhou has been handed over to the Real School. Song Liangzuo is in command in Sichuan, and Liu Ting is in charge of the frontline war. If... Brother Yuanyu, if there is another big defeat in Bozhou, you say it will be fine for Gao Qiuzhen Isn't that a big blow? "

Wang Xijue frowned and said: "If you regard him as the leader of the real school, this can be counted, but it's hard to say whether it can be regarded as traumatic, let alone fatal."

"You also said you have to be patient." Shen Shixing sighed: "In the past, I always thought of completing all my achievements in one battle, but now it seems... difficult. Since it is difficult, I have to think about it in the long run, and wear away the strength bit by bit. The impression that the school can fight and dare to do in the mind of the emperor is justified."

Wang Xijue frowned and said, "What about the conferment? If it can be done, I'm afraid it will be done once and for all."

Shen Shixing shook his head, and replied: "Keep this in mind, don't make such hopes. Now that the palace has not revealed anything, I think this is quite unusual. I am afraid that the emperor still wants to use the Gao Qiuzhen is the assistant minister. If the emperor is determined to do this, with the blessing of the power of destroying the Yuan, none of us can save it."

Wang Xijue sighed, and murmured: "But Zhang Xinzhai is leaving, the cabinet has been adjusted recently, if Gao Qiuzhen is to join the cabinet, who should go?"
