Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1862 Sword Pointing at Dongying ([-]) Shen Yiguan

"Six hundred miles in a hurry—Hanyang victory! Gaoge's old tune leaves the mountain, Ma Admiral Hanyang breaks the Japanese!"

Although Gao Pragmatically contacted the capital with a flying pigeon stand, the court's procedures also have their unique uses, especially in the matter of reporting victory.The six-hundred-mile urgent Baojie stage horse shouted all the way into Beijing, and the people along the way could hear it. The propaganda effect cannot be ignored, and it is very helpful to strengthen the authority of the imperial court.

This victory report document is naturally the follow-up to the great victory in Hanyang a few days ago. When the news spread to the capital, the government and the people naturally rejoiced.

However, there are some people who are confused about the difference between this Hanyang and the other Hanyang. They thought it was the Huguang Hanyang Mansion. After hearing about the "Hanyang Great Victory", they were surprised and asked someone, "Hanyang Great Victory? When did something go wrong in Huguang?" ?”

Others heard a newspaper reader reading a newspaper in a teahouse, and told him: "This Hanyang is not that Hanyang, not the one in Huguang, but the capital of North Korea. By the way, this North Korea is the Wang family of the former Yuan Dynasty. The Goryeo general Li Chenggui built it. At that time, the Goryeo king was incompetent and tyrannical, and he was also a diehard loyalist to the Yuan Dynasty. Li Chenggui abandoned the dark side and turned to the Ming Dynasty, and established a new dynasty, which is today's North Korea.

The name of the so-called Joseon comes from China. It was the ancient Joseon country established by Jizi, the son of King Wending of the Shang Dynasty.

Since it has Chinese descendants, it is not surprising that there are many people with the same name as our dynasty in various places in the country.Not only Hanyang, but also Jinju, Gyeongju, Haizhou, Jizhou, Hongzhou, etc., to name a few.Oh, by the way, this Hanyang is also called Hancheng, but it is named because it is close to the Han River... Ah, the Han River, hehe, hehehe. "

The person who asked the question was a little embarrassed when he made a joke, but he couldn't help laughing after hearing it, and said: "This Korean is also, can't he choose a few names by himself, and they all copy ours. I am really not ashamed."

"After all, you are a barbarian, so don't be so demanding! Although he calls himself Xiao Zhonghua, how can he compare with my Chinese orthodoxy? It is not surprising that there are these pictures of tigers and dogs."

"That's right, that's right, that's the reason." Everyone burst into laughter.

They didn't notice that when they were chatting and chatting, there were two scribes in Tsing Yi who looked at each other and smiled.

One of the scribes with a mustache whispered: "The Secretary-General's account seems to be done well. Now even these traffickers and pawns in the capital know something about the relationship between North Korea and China."

Another dark-skinned long-bearded scribe said: "Some understanding is true, but this alone may not be enough. The major newspapers and teahouses must continue to work hard to let the people in Beijing know that the ancestor of the Korean nation is my Chinese descendant. Therefore, this country and this place should not be separated from China for a long time.

What's more, we need to promote more that "the barbarians who enter China will be the ones in China", and then intersperse with the theory of "spreading the king's way in the four directions" - we must not only let the traffickers and pawns think that North Korea should enter China, but also let the gentry and celebrities not against this.

Gentlemen and celebrities are no better than peddlers and pawns. If they don't have a righteous name for them to bear, they will only talk about the ancestral system and the country without confiscation.Only when the banner of "Everbright Mingjiao" is first displayed as a cover, and when the king of Joseon Li Yan once again submits a request to enclose it in the future, these people will find no reason to oppose it. "

"Mr. Qingsong's words are very true. The students will definitely pay more attention to these matters in the future to ensure that the public opinion in the capital is consistent with me." The eight-character Hu literati solemnly promised, and then asked: "But I am afraid that this matter cannot only be supported by the public opinion of the capital, right? How is Nanjing doing on this matter?"

"You don't have to worry about other places. Not only Nanjing, the Secretary-General has arrangements for all places. Even in North Korea, as far as I know, there are people who support them, and those people's status in the North Korean court is not low."

"That would be great!" Bazi Hu Wenshi said excitedly: "When these things are almost done, I think the battle on the master's side should be over. By then, more than [-] heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will take over North Korea with the prestige of destroying Japanese pirates." , the king of Joseon, if he is not stupid enough, how dare he not obediently attach it! Hey, when this matter is completed, we will have done a great event that will be remembered in history!"

The black-faced scribe shook his head and said: "The things we are doing can only be done in secret, and they may not be famous in history in the future. If you only think about these things, you will become a low-level person.

Do you still remember that sentence that the master said a few years ago?Success does not necessarily depend on me, success must belong to me——I also give this gift today, and I am willing to encourage you with you. "

"Yes, Mr. Qingsong's lesson is that it is the students who have made a picture." The scribe Hu Wenshi bowed solemnly and said, "I would like to share my words with you."

About half an hour after the two of them talked, the news of the great victory in Hanyang was finally delivered to the emperor after going through the process. Zhu Yijun was overjoyed after reading it, and excitedly sent an edict to the cabinet, inviting all elders and ministers of the Ministry of War to come to the Wenhua Palace to meet and summon right.

In today's cabinet, apart from Gao Yushi, a scholar of the Wenhuadian University who is also the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and Pingwa Jinglue, the rest are the first assistant Zhongjidian University scholar Wang Jiaping who ranks ahead of Gao Yushi, and the second assistant Jianjidian Liang Menglong, a scholar of the University; and Zhao Zhigao, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University, Shen Yiguan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Zhou Yong, a scholar of Dongge University, who are ranked after Gao Yushi.

As for the Minister of the Ministry of War, it was Song Yingchang, the former left servant of the Ministry of War who was transferred from Pingwa Jinglue to the court. At this time, he had been in office for about a month.

All the ministers knew why the emperor called the meeting, so when they saw the emperor arriving, they first congratulated him. Zhu Yijun waved his hands blithely to say no, and then said: "Gao Wushi has only been in North Korea for a month, and the battle is over." Great turning point, now that Hanyang has recovered, Ma Gui said that he is arranging for the King of Joseon to return to Wangjing, then the next war will soon break out in the south of Korea, what do you love to say about this?"

As the chief assistant, Wang Jiaping naturally wanted to make a statement first, so he cupped his hands and said, "It's not just today that Gaoge's victories have been won in every battle, and the current situation of the Korean war has already been expected. Good news is enough."

Zhu Yijun was a little surprised, looked at Wang Jiaping, then at the other ministers, and said with a slight smile: "Yuan Fu's words are reasonable..."

"Your Majesty, I have some doubts. I don't know if I should speak or not?" Shen Yiguan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, suddenly said.

It stands to reason that interrupting the emperor's words is very serious disrespect, but it also depends on who is interrupting and what is the reason for interrupting.It is quite common for civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, especially those who have become cabinet ministers, to interrupt the emperor's words when discussing state affairs-sometimes more than just interruptions, there are not a few people who talk back on the spot.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the emperor's temper and personality. For example, if it is the Jiajing Dynasty, the number of people who dare to interrupt the emperor's speech can be counted on one hand.

However, Zhu Yijun's temper may be influenced by his father to some extent, and he is better than his grandfather, so he didn't take this level of "offense" seriously. Instead, he nodded and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Shen Yiguan asked: "Since Gao Nanning went to North Korea, I have often wondered what made Gao Nanning victorious."

His words were quite abrupt, and Zhu Yijun was a little confused, so he just subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

Shen Yiguan cupped his hands and said: "It's simple to say, that is the trust of the emperor."

"My trust?" Zhu Yijun was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he glanced at Shen Yiguan, and said calmly: "Could it be that Mr. Shen wants to say that I have delegated too much power?"

Shen Yiguan was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. Although he didn't do very well in the exam at the beginning, he was only 130th in the top three, but he did very well in the exam, so he was selected as a good scholar.

In the next few years, he successively participated in the study of "Sejong Shilu" and "Mu Zong Shilu". Canon".After all, as long as there are no major mistakes in doing this kind of work, then it will be truly famous in history.

Since the second year of Wanli, he has successively served as the editor of the Imperial Academy, lecturer on Jingyan Day, Prince Zuo Zhongyun, Prince Attendant, Prince Youyude, Attendant Bachelor, Prince Guest, etc., naturally he deserves the honor of the emperor. "Mr."Apparently, there was also a reason why he dared to interrupt Zhu Yijun just now.

"How dare I." Shen Yiguan's face was very calm, but his words always made people feel that he was implying: "However, I did find some interesting phenomena. For example, during the Battle of Yuan Dynasty, Gao Nanning not only commanded hundreds of thousands of troops Ju, who also holds an important position as a local official, has tens of millions of money at his disposal. With this power, how can he be invincible?
What's more, the authority bestowed by the emperor on Shangfang Sword at that time was unmatched in this dynasty. The majestic governor of Jiliao, who had several borders sealed off by the imperial court, Gao Nanning was able to seize his position with a single word, and then escorted him back to Beijing in a grand manner.

What is even more surprising is that the court not only did not reprimand Gao Nanning for this move, but immediately recognized that it was reasonable, and did not even mention "not to be an example"... Hehe, looking at the two hundred years since the founding of our dynasty , who can win the trust of the emperor and the court, is there a second person? "

Although his tone was flat when he said these words, he obviously thought that the court's behavior was unreasonable, which made Wang Jiaping a little unhappy.

Wang Jiaping's temper has always been straightforward, so he immediately said: "Old Shen Ge, the decision made that day was made after careful discussion by the entire cabinet and then with the approval of the emperor. Now that you bring up the old matter again, is it because you think that the previous minister Shen The public and others are acting absurdly, so they are not enough to be the assistant prime minister?
If this is the case, I will be a member of the cabinet that day, and I should take responsibility. Why don't I abdicate today and ask Mr. Shen Ge to set things right? "

Shen Yiguan frowned deeply. He actually didn't expect Wang Jiaping to jump out first, because in Shen Yiguan's view, he was fighting with the real school. What's the matter with you, Wang Jiaping?
The current faction situation in the cabinet is quite interesting. Although Wang Jiaping is from Shanxi, he is not the Jin Party of the Real School in the usual sense, but a stubborn old Neo-Confucianist School, which is one of the so-called neutral factions. , Psychology does not hold a clear attitude.

The Practical School usually has the upper hand, because the Practical School occupies three of the remaining five old seats in the pavilion, namely Liang Menglong, Gao Yushi and Zhou Yong. Among them, Liang Menglong is still the second assistant, and his status is somewhat special.

Needless to say, Gao Pragmatism, although he is only the third assistant, but because of his special status and outstanding achievements, he is actually the party leader of the Practical School. His status in the court is even much higher than that of Liang Menglong.

As for Zhou Yong, he was the one at the tail end of the three assistant ministers of the Pragmatic School, and he even seemed to be a little extra, and he was always known as a highly pragmatic respondent.But no matter what, the old man is the old man. With this status, he has a "voting right" in the cabinet.

The remaining two are Zhao Zhigao and Shen Yiguan.Zhao Zhigao was old and sick, and had no prestige in the court. If Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue hadn't resigned too suddenly due to an accident, it would be impossible for the Xin School to consider pushing him out to succeed the old man.His more than a month in the pavilion has basically confirmed the outside world's opinion of him-it's just a filling, nothing more than helping the weak Heart School to barely occupy a position first.

Shen Yiguan has a bit more prestige than Zhao Zhigao, but his prestige is not a good reputation, but rather a bad reputation, all about forming cliques and vengeance.If you want to make an analogy, it is somewhat of Yan Song's style-but Yan Song's power back then was much greater than him.

Looking at it this way, it is obvious that when Gao Yushi himself was in Beijing, the power of the current mind school in the cabinet was not enough to shake him at all, and it would be good not to be suppressed by him.

However, right now is a good opportunity. Gao Yushi went to North Korea to serve as a military strategy against the Japanese. Although the battle situation looks good now, no matter how good it is, he only won the capital Hanyang in the central part of North Korea. It is far from completely defeating the Japanese pirates and ending the war. There is still a long way to go.

In this way, if the Xin School wants to regain its influence in the cabinet, this period of time when Gao Yushi is not in Beijing is the best window period, and it is really an opportunity not to be missed.However, although the idea is beautiful, how to actually act is very confusing.

In fact, generally speaking, "fighting weak enemies first" is usually a good choice.This is like doing exam questions, pay attention to the easy ones and then the difficult ones, so as not to succumb to a difficult problem. Finally, when the time for handing in the paper is up, you are left with a lot of easy questions that should be easy to deal with;

It is also like a famous general who uses troops. He often does not seek a quick victory, but a sure victory. Therefore, he often chooses to cut off the enemy's wings first, and then break the enemy's main formation.Otherwise, you will go straight to the enemy's central army as soon as you come up, and as a result, the opponent's wings from all directions will come to support, and this battle may not be easy to fight.

However, the current situation is a bit troublesome: the "weak enemy" of the Practical School in the cabinet is naturally Zhou Yong, but Zhou Yong was the Minister of the Ministry of War before, and the Ministry of War has hardly made any mistakes in these years (it is not wrong to win all the battles) , it is not easy to find trouble with Zhou Yong.

Besides, the news that came today is the great victory of Hanyang. According to the Ming Dynasty's practice, no matter where the battle is won, the leader of the Ministry of War deserves credit. At this time, it is obviously impossible to talk about trouble with Zhou Yong.

Since Zhou Yong can't do it, what about Liang Menglong?It doesn't work either.As I said before, Liang Menglong was seventy years old at the time, and he had more than a dozen resignations. He would definitely be an official next year at the latest. At this time, if Liang Menglong was in trouble, unless he was plotting a rebellion, the emperor would only think that Shen Yiguan was worthless. Human nature, and doing so itself is not in line with the "customs" of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. If this is the case, he will only be ridiculed by scholars from all over the world.

That's helpless, Shen Yiguan has to do this now, although he knows that high pragmatism is the most difficult point to break through, but he has no choice but to bite the bullet.
