Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1726 Post-war Waves ([-]) Yuan Fu's High Opinion
"The old minister begs for the bones." As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned.

Begging for bones is resignation, which is not surprising. The officials of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing will resign at least once a year, which is called "self-declaration of incompetence".This kind of approach is roughly equivalent to self-criticism at the end of the year, saying that I have not done well this year, please ask the boss to fire me-obviously it is all self-effacing, and no one will take it seriously.

However, Xu Guo's begging for bones this time is not of this nature.As a matter of fact, he had submitted a speech yesterday, and he had already been declined "as usual" by the emperor, and had been "warmly comforted".

The problem now is that the way he resigned this time is to submit his resignation in person.According to the past practice, most of the resignations of ministers are based on "resignation", and they have to go through the process, that is, through the Secretary of General Administration.

According to the system, the Department of General Administration of the Ming Dynasty had strict confidentiality procedures, but these regulations did not actually have any effect at all.This organization has always been a big colander, almost no matter what news—especially important news, after the Secretary of General Administration is gone, it must be "known to the whole court", so the Secretary of General Administration has completely stepped on the opposite side of the system.

But this kind of paradoxical situation has its own reasons. For example, if a minister resigns: what people want is for everyone to know, but it is impossible for every minister to hold a press conference after resigning to say that I have If Yun Yun proposed to resign, then everyone had to work together to find a way—for example, let the Secretary of General Administration release the news, that would be great!
Therefore, if a minister resigns, normally he must go to the General Secretary.However, Xu Guo didn't do it this time. His resignation yesterday was from the Secretary of General Administration, but this time he resigned in person. Obviously there is something wrong.

The problem is that the emperor most likely has no experience in dealing with this situation, so no one can guarantee how His Majesty will react.Secondly, the wording of the emperor's response is also very "dangerous". You must know that there are routines in replying to the minister's resignation through the ceremonial supervisor. It will be roughly divided into several "levels" in terms of emotion and context. Show the world how much the emperor cares for the minister.

This principle is easy to understand. For example, every time Gao Yushi asked to resign, most of them were very strongly persuaded by the emperor's "emotion and context". Therefore, the courtiers knew that Gao Yushi's holy family was unparalleled—for example, you were just a "breaker". , His Majesty the Emperor actually answered every word of yours very seriously, and even vowed to say that without you in the court, I would not be able to sleep at night without food and drink... Ah, this, of course, shows that the Emperor attaches great importance to you. .

However, this kind of reply is often just processed by the ceremonial supervisor based on the emperor's simple statement, and the emperor's oral instructions may not be so difficult to say - maybe they just said in a strong tone, "Then No, definitely not."

So that is to say, when the emperor asks for resignation face to face, he may be confused, and then the words of his answer...may not be so good on the stage, which is very embarrassing.

Of course, the emperor may not be embarrassed, it is the minister himself who is embarrassed.Ci Shu is often more about expressing one's nobility, so the more high-sounding the emperor's reply, the better, and the more face the minister will have.On the other hand, if the emperor just said "no" casually and nothing happened, the minister would of course be very embarrassed, after all, it seemed that he was worthless.

In short, Xu Guo's move largely means that he has made up his mind: I don't care about face anymore, I just want to resign!

Apparently, such a move even had the meaning of deliberately embarrassing the emperor, which is usually not taken by mature and prudent ministers.But who would think that Xu Guo is not a mature and prudent minister?This is the reason why "all the seats are stunned". Everyone can't figure out why Xu Guo is so determined.

In fact, Xu Guo's resignation this time is not a big deal: not long ago, the Xin School and the Real School were arguing about the merits of cutting Yuan?Later, the inexplicable flames of war expanded, and the officials of both sides began to separate themselves from the war against Yuan itself, and launched personal attacks. Some people here pulled out some things Xu Guo had done in the past eight years.

The earliest incident of this happened between the 11th and 12th years of Wanli. According to historical records: "First, Emperor Kaobu Shou Palace, the Crown Prince Taibao of the Canadian Kingdom, was changed to Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Prince Taifu was promoted with Yunnan merit. The parents of the country Unburied, begging to return to Xiangshi. The emperor refused, and ordered his descendants. Yushi Ma Xiangqian was convicted of impeaching Zhongguan Zhang Jing, and the country begged for help. The emperor accepted it for Jiwei."

Then the matter temporarily came to an end, but "in 17 years, Jinshi Xue Fujiao impeached Wu Shilai, Nanjing Yushi Wang Linzhi and Huang Renrong discussed Taiwan regulations, and their words were all invading the country. Wang Xijue, an academician who extended his attack on the university, did not directly benefit the country through public discussion. The national character is strong, and it is easy to make troubles. It is difficult to count and speak. There is no ministerial degree, and it is not attached to old scholars.

In autumn of next year, Huo Luochi will commit crimes in Lintao and Gongchang, and the western frontier will be shaken.At present, the words and deeds of the time are enough to pay tribute, and the country says that the Yumeng has violated obedience.The country is sparsely distinguished, and the emperor seizes the salary.

There is no doubt about the country and the times.However, Shi Xing is suitable for the discussion of Wan Guoqin, a disciple of the country, and he is also a disciple of Shi Xing, so he retaliates against Yun for his teacher.Fujian Shouchen reported that Japan had joined the Ryukyu invaders, and the country said: "Today, the four descendants have committed crimes, and the Chinese and foreign ministers are vying to attack, and the ministers have begged to go. Who will return to serve the country?"Please tell all the ministers to cultivate their professions and not to be arrogant. The emperor issued an edict to strictly prohibit it.The country has always been angry with those who speak so. "

The above matters are relatively detailed, and a detailed explanation would take too much space. To put it simply, every time Xu Guo is impeached, he will strongly rebound, and in the process of his refutation, he often drags some irrelevant people into the water, causing the foreign court to criticize His views are so bad that "scholars are not attached" - everyone does not support or follow him.

To a certain extent, this is indeed a problem of Xu Guo's behavior, especially when he is a member of the Real School and there is such a practical party leader as Gao Pragmatism in the Real School, Xu Guo's kind The disadvantage will be further magnified.This is why although Xu Guo is the second assistant, most officials of the Pragmatic School still rely on high pragmatism instead of him.

It was the same this time, he was just the fish in the pond who got hurt, but in fact he just had to pretend to be dead.He really didn't have a big reaction at first, but yesterday he suddenly asked to resign, and the reason was nothing more than that I was sprayed by someone, which smeared my name, so I want to resign or something.

After the emperor's warm words of comfort, he even resigned in person today, which made everyone wonder what kind of stimulation he had received to be so fierce.

The emperor was obviously not in a good mood today, and normal people would not be so stupid as to get into trouble under such circumstances, and at this time, facing Xu Guo's face-to-face resignation, it was inevitable that his expression would be gloomy.

We must know that with the basic conclusion of the war against Yuan, the Emperor's prestige has soared during this period of time, and the reason why Shen Shihang pulled Wang Xijue to adjust his strategy was largely due to this point in consideration.

Zhu Yijun was silent for a while, and gave Chen Ju a glance. Chen Ju immediately stepped forward to take the resignation from Xu Guo, and quickly sent it to the emperor, holding it with both hands.

Zhu Yijun took the Ci Shu and opened it, and saw that the Ci Shu was written like this:
"According to the decree: 'Qingshu will talk about officials again, and it is fair. Ministers put the king's order and state affairs as the most important thing, and you should not insist on going to the ambitions, and you will immediately send out assistants to take care of you.'

The minister was terrified.The honor of the emperor is the sky, and its majesty is thunder.Today's ministers have repeatedly harassed and blasphemed, not to condemn, but to open the season, to praise justice, and to guard against their persistence. They also said that the ministers put the king's order and state affairs as the most important thing.Although the minister is very stupid and humble, he still has ears, eyes and a heart. Gu dare to bear the fate of the benefactor, and do thunder against the sky?
However, the mere foolishness of the minister has a last resort.Gai the emperor's life minister is not just the one who is favored and honored by the position of salary.If you want to do things, the ministers don't necessarily have to be able to run around and do things yourself; if you want to lead people, the number of ministers has been slandered, and since you can no longer lead people, even if you work in a class again, how can you do things?Therefore, it is hypothetical to distinguish righteousness, relying on favor and selfishness, the warmer the order is, the more serious the confession is, and I don't know it's stupid and countable. "

After reading it, Zhu Yijun was naturally unhappy.This speech seems to be extremely respectful to the emperor. At one time, he said that the emperor's heavenly power was like thunder, and at another time he said that the emperor's gentle words and encouragement were better than parents' education, but in the end he was still the same old way: "Today's ministers have been slandered, Since I can no longer lead people, how can I be able to do things even if I continue to work in shifts?"

I have been slandered and slandered by others, and I can't set an example for my courtiers. Of course, I can't do anything. Then, Your Majesty, you might as well replace me.

what is this?This is forcing the emperor to punish those who slandered him by resigning!
At this moment, Zhu Yijun's thoughts changed. He knew that Xu Guo did this because of his high-level pragmatism. Although the two of them were not in the same way, they were both factions, and they were still different factions in the same party in the eyes of outsiders.

Gao Yushi happened to have made great achievements and had not yet been rewarded. As the emperor, it was inconvenient to engage with people of the Shishi school at this time, otherwise he might be speculated for no reason by the outer court, and even thought that his reward and punishment were unknown.

Moreover, it is impossible for high-level pragmatism to enjoy such a huge contribution to the Battle of the Yuan Dynasty. The wise leadership of the emperor and the careful support of the cabinet must be a great contribution.In short, anyone who is above the high level of pragmatism will definitely get a share of the achievements of this great war.

Needless to say, the emperor, how can any credit go to His Majesty?Shen Shixing wanted to suppress it at first, but when he found that he couldn't suppress it, he immediately changed his mind, because he would definitely get a lot of credit as the chief assistant of the cabinet.The subordinates, such as Wu Dui in charge of the household department and Liang Menglong in charge of the military department, are all leaders directly related to the war, and they must have made meritorious service.

Xu Guo, as the second assistant, is between Shen Shixing, Wu Dui, and Liang Menglong. As usual, he must have made meritorious service. Therefore, even if the emperor really has an opinion on him, he should wait for the limelight to pass. It is absolutely impossible to agree with him now. Please resign.

However, there are things that Zhu Yijun doesn’t understand. For example, it’s impossible for Xu Guo not to know that Qiu Hou settled accounts. He is so self-willed now that he actually asks for resignation in person to force himself to express his opinion. I am really not afraid that I will find a way to send him out in a few months ?
You know, it's autumn now, and it's not long before the elders of the cabinets routinely "declare their infidelity" during the "year-end report".

Zhu Yijun pretended to read the Shuwen very slowly, but in fact he just weighed it quickly in his heart, and soon smiled gently, and said: "I already know Mr. Xu's thoughts, but at present, the court has the merits of cutting Yuan and wants to reward them, but also wants to reward them." When North Korea is in danger, you have to be a police officer. There are important matters both inside and outside. How can you lose your support to the North? If you don’t agree with your request, you should do your job well.”

After all, Zhu Yijun seemed to be afraid that Xu Guo would be entangled, so he turned around and left, not wanting to stay any longer, leaving behind a group of assistant ministers who looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking about each other.

After the meeting was over, Wang Xijue quickly came to Shen Shixing's valet room, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked straight to the point: "Yuan Fu, Xu Yingyang's actions today are really surprising. I don't know what Yuan Fu thinks?"

Shen Shixing had already guessed that he would come, so he was not surprised when he heard the words, and replied: "There is no one else, just admit defeat."

"Admit defeat? To whom?" Wang Xijue raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Who else can it be? Of course it is Gao Rixin." Shen Shixing sat on the grand teacher's chair, leaned back relaxedly, shook his head and said, "The war against the Yuan Dynasty is over, and Gao Rixin returned triumphantly, but he can still bring Bringing Hannaji to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit together shows that he is sure that he can completely control Tumed, or completely control Mongolia. Under such a situation, even you and I can only stay away from each other, let alone Let alone Xu Yingyang?"

Wang Xijue frowned, and murmured: "Yuanfu also thinks this way?" It seems that although he was asking Shen Shixing just now, he already had such a speculation in his heart.

Shen Shixing sighed, and said: "I said earlier, in the next period of time, no one can stop Gao Rixin's power to destroy Yuan."

"However, Xu Yingyang showed Gao Rixin that he no longer dared to fight with him by means of self-defilement before the sage. Isn't the price too high? What if the sage fails to figure it out, or even if he wants to It's clear, but he still can't tolerate Xu Yingyang's embarrassment, then Xu Cifu may face a big hurdle this time."

"It's hard to say." Shen Shixing curled his lips and said, "In the final analysis, it depends on what Gao Rixin thinks."

What a smart man Wang Xijue was, he immediately understood Shen Shixing's words, and suddenly said: "Yes, if Gao Rixin is willing to accept Xu Yingyang, it's not a big deal if the emperor doesn't understand - is Gao Rixin afraid that he won't be able to convince the emperor?
And if he refuses to accept Xu Yingyang, that's just fine.When the time comes to speak a few words in front of the emperor, the emperor, who was bound to be dissatisfied with Xu Yingyang's actions, will naturally choose to push the boat along and find a chance for Xu Yingyang to return to She County to retire. "

After finishing speaking, Wang Xijue couldn't help sighing: "Yuan Fu is right, the current Gao Rixin is really unstoppable."

Shen Shixing nodded gloomyly, but soon showed his face again and said, "It's okay, but now there is another big trouble waiting for him..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered his previous attitude, and added: "Although I don't think the Japanese invasion of the DPRK will cause much trouble, it will inevitably take a while for Gao Rixin. By then we will It can be regarded as taking a breather and adjusting the follow-up plan."

Wang Xijue agreed: "Yuan Fu has a good opinion."
