Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2015 Inside and Outside the Palace (卌[-]) South Verandah Room

As the matter may involve Concubine Zheng Huanggui, the situation has become more and more complicated now.

Gao Yushi knew exactly how much Zhu Yijun loved Concubine Zheng Huanggui, and what level was her family?As long as the harm of this matter is not enough to overthrow the world, Zhu Yijun will never touch her; even if someone wants to touch her, Zhu Yijun will definitely defend her to the end.

Speaking of the Holy Family, there is one interesting point here. Gao Wushi knew that Concubine Zheng Huanggui wanted to deal with him at the beginning, but in the end it was unsuccessful, and instead she was severely warned by Zhu Yijun, so from now on, Concubine Zheng Huanggui did not dare to deal with her again. Talking bad about yourself in the open.

However, Gao Wushi is very clear that this does not mean that Zhu Yijun's respect for his family is really higher than that of Concubine Zheng.In fact, although he and Concubine Zheng Huang are both very highly-acclaimed people, their holy families are not similar in essence.

To be successful, many times it is like winning a battle. The first thing you need to pay attention to is to know yourself and your enemy.To use a popular saying, that is, a person must have an accurate positioning of himself.

Zhu Yijun's position in Zhu Yijun's eyes is undoubtedly completely different from his high pragmatism and imperial concubine Zheng's.Gao Wushi was a courtier, and Concubine Zheng Huang was a concubine in the harem.

Whether or not Gao Yushi receives the consecrated family depends on how useful his ability in governing the country is to the emperor; whether the noble concubine Zheng Huang receives the consecrated family depends on whether the emperor can feel the comfort of his soul from her—ah, Of course there are physical comforts, but in fact, to the emperor, that may not be the most important thing.

After all, if the emperor only wanted women, there would definitely not be any difficulty.

There is a saying that "those who use sex to deal with others, the color fades and the love relaxes".Imperial Concubine Zheng never experienced the predicament of "fading in color but falling in love" in the original history. It can be seen that her importance to Zhu Yijun does not lie in her beauty at all.

That being the case, she is actually already in a certain invincible position, even if she is highly pragmatic, she will not choose to fight her on the bright side.

In the final analysis, the high-practical holy family still comes from talent, but if you want to develop your talent, you first need the emperor to be self-motivated.If the current emperor suddenly imitated his grandfather Emperor Jiajing and went into hiding to practice Taoism and didn't bother to manage government affairs at all, then it would not be so important whether he was pragmatic or not.

At the beginning, high pragmatism was very important because the emperor still had many things that high pragmatism needed to take care of for him.In the eyes of the emperor at that time, these things could and could only be done with high pragmatism, so even if he was favored like the imperial concubine Zheng, if there were signs of being unfavorable to high pragmatism, he would be severely warned by the emperor.

But then was then, now is now, and future is future.

Is high pragmatism still important now?It is also important.But...is it still as important as it was back then?It may have been slightly worse.

At that time, the emperor still had a lot to do, especially such a big event as cutting Yuan.That is the foundation of the achievements of the "Holy Lord of Zhongxing" that the emperor has carefully prepared for more than 20 years. Compared with this, it is of course worthwhile to warn the imperial concubine Zheng, and it must be done.

now what?Fayuan has declared victory, and even other subsequent changes have basically been resolved. At this time, high pragmatism is naturally not as important as before.

Fortunately, the world has not yet completely stabilized the world, and something went wrong in the northwest. It is not yet the time for Ma Fang Nanshan, and it is still necessary for Gao Yushi to continue to do his best for the emperor.

Of course, the emperor's treatment of the highly pragmatic family members was not entirely out of "using his best", and the friendship between the two of them for many years is still there.It's just that although this friendship is deep, if it is better than the wind on the pillow, it is really too hanging.

According to Gao Yushi's previous judgment, he and Zheng Huanggui Concubine should actually be in a state of being scared by both sides.In other words, unless one party has reached the point of nowhere, it will not attack the other party.

If there is no mistake in this judgment, then judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Imperial Concubine Zheng thinks that she has reached the point of desperation.

is it so serious?Gao Wushi thought about it, and felt that it depends on the basis of Concubine Zheng's desperation.

If concubine Zheng's desperation is based on her own family members, that is to say, whether the current developments have shaken her family members, then Gao Yushi believes that she is not desperate.

However, if it is said that Imperial Concubine Zheng's desperation is based on whether her son Zhu Changxun has a chance to inherit the throne, then obviously... now she is indeed very close to desperation.

Gao Yushi couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional, the feelings of women for children are really terrible.No wonder there is a saying that "women are weak, but mothers are strong". Originally, when Zhu Changxun still had a chance, Zheng Huanggui was willing to wait for the opportunity honestly. Now that the opportunity is close to disappearing, she immediately becomes desperate .

For some reason, Gao Wushi didn't feel that he was in any danger at this moment, and he didn't even think that the situation was very dangerous. Instead, he suddenly thought of the situation in his own home at this moment.

Fortunately, Yuan'er's name is justified, he is both the eldest son and the eldest son, otherwise, wouldn't my family also have the possibility of chaos?

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not possible, after all, Zhi Ting's position as the main wife was very stable.

Since Meng Gu Zhezhe and Narita Jiafei were not born in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty, they are destined to be unable to threaten Huang Zhiting's status. The only person who may threaten her status is Liu Xin.

However, a large part of the reason why Liu Xin married herself was that she wanted to comfort Liu Xian's spirit in heaven, otherwise, according to her thinking, she might not be willing to be a concubine.

Even Gao Wushi was very skeptical, if it wasn't because of feeling guilty towards Liu Xian, even if she became someone's regular wife, she might be the same as Qi Jiguang's wife who refused to let her husband take a concubine.

Perhaps it is precisely because she entered Gao's family largely not for herself that she now does not care about these issues of status.Meng Gu Zhezhe had proposed several times before that Liu Xin should be second only to Huang Zhiting among the women in the family, and that she should be called "Second Lady", but Liu Xin firmly refused every time.

It is precisely because of Liu Xin's own insistence that she is the first to know Gao Yushi and has the most special relationship with Gao Yushi, but she is just the "fourth wife" among the servants at home.

Gao Yushi himself felt that he owed Liu Xin a lot for this, and mentioned it several times, but Liu Xin always said: "If I care about these things, why do I still have to enter your Gao family's door? Okay, okay, Don't worry about it anymore, isn't it good to just treat it as a lover?"

In this way, Huang Zhiting's position was once again strengthened, and with the birth of Gao Ji, the second son who was nominally a twin with Gao Luo, this position became even more stable and could be said to be unshakeable.

Gao Wushi realized that his mind was distracted, so he forcibly pulled his thoughts back, and said: "What Duke Suiyang and Lord Jiaomen said is very true. Since the matter is of great importance, everyone involved in this matter should be investigated. Yuanfu, Yu I thought that since the matter involved the emperor, who should investigate it should also be judged by the emperor, I don't know what Yuan Fu wants?"

Wang Jiaping didn't think so at first, but since he publicly stated that he would resign in the near future, he has actually regarded Gao Yushi as his future chief assistant.Now that Gao Pragmatism also thinks that it should be investigated, let's investigate.

Speaking of which, at present, nearly half of the officials in the capital are probably from the Practical School, and he, the leader of the Practical School, thinks it can be investigated, so what else is there to say?
As for who to choose to investigate, this matter does not necessarily have to be decided by the emperor, but for Wang Jiaping, it is still the same sentence. Gao Wushi doesn't care. Worry?

"Since the three of you all said so, let's act accordingly." Wang Jiaping said, and said to Chen Ju: "Please pass the cabinet's opinion to the emperor with your palm seal."

Chen Judao: "Don't dare to bother you when you are responsible. Gentlemen, please go to the South Lu room to rest for a while. If there is any situation in the West Nuan Pavilion, the slaves will definitely inform you in time."

When I said this, the assistant ministers were actually a little surprised, because Xinuang Pavilion and Nanyufang were not far away, nor close, so it stands to reason that there is no need for the elders of the pavilion to be so far away from the emperor at this time.

Everyone knows Chen Ju's character. He is not a casual person, especially not arbitrarily ordering important civil officials.Then he is making such an arrangement now, it can only be said that it was ordered by the emperor.

The six cabinet ministers looked at each other without saying a word, neither saying yes nor no, but they all turned around and left towards the Nanlu room without any hesitation.

The name Nanlufang is a bit unfamiliar, but in fact, everyone is familiar with the name——South Study Room.The South Study Room where Kang Mazi Chuaoboi of the Tartar Qing Dynasty lived was actually a part of the South Veranda House, located in the southwest corner of the Qianqing Palace.

Here, by the way, the South Study Room and the Upper Study Room are not in the same place. The former is on the west side of Qianqing Gate and faces north; the latter is on the east side of Qianqing Gate and faces north.Generally speaking, it is one west and one east, and the relationship is similar to West Nuan Pavilion and East Nuan Pavilion.

Many people may know that the South Study Room had a very high status in the Qing Dynasty, and scholars regarded it as an important place, and they were proud to be able to enter it.Those who entered the value mainly accompanied the emperor to compose poems, write and paint, and sometimes drafted edicts according to the emperor's will, "writing edicts".

Since the South Study Room is "not allowed to enter unless it is a respected class, expensive purlin, and cronies of the upper school", it is a core and confidential institution strictly controlled by the emperor, and it can issue imperial orders at any time, which makes the South Study Room "respected more and more powerful". .

Compared with the Nanwufang, which did not have much sense of existence in the Ming Dynasty, the status of the Nanshufang in the Qing Dynasty was greatly improved. It was Kang Mazi who weakened the power of the meeting of kings and ministers, and at the same time transferred some functions of the cabinet of the outer dynasty to the inner court. An important step towards high centralization.

All the cabinet ministers sat down in the south verandah room, and soon a young eunuch came to serve tea, and at the same time brought six gilded small stoves, one for each cabinet elder to put in front of him.

Wang Jiaping waved his hand and ordered the little eunuch to leave the door, and then said: "Today is a day of celebration, unexpectedly this accident happened. Although as a subject, the first thing is to pray for the blessing of the Holy One, but the matter of the country is still unacceptable." Forget..."

He glanced around at the other five cabinet officials, his gaze was locked on the face of Zhao Zhigao who was watching his heart, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Brother Suiyang, Yu is on duty today, and there is something I need to discuss with Brother Suiyang. "

Zhao Zhigao was a little surprised, because Wang Jiaping and his personality were almost exactly the opposite, and the two had little communication in the cabinet. I don't know why Wang Jiaping needed to talk to him so solemnly about something today.

"Yuanfu please speak, Zhigao listens with all ears."

"Is that so, brother Suiyang, is your son Fengwei serving as the deputy envoy of Lianghuai?" Wang Jiaping asked.

"That's right, Quanzi is in Huai'an." Zhao Zhigao answered in his mouth, but his heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, Wang Jiaping frowned, and muttered slightly: "Shandong inspector censor Wu Chongli went to Shushu today to impeach your son for corruption..."

Zhao Zhigao's face suddenly changed, and his tone was slightly cold: "It has always been difficult for the Huaihe River Transport Envoys to hold positions for a long time. The reason is that no matter whether they are really greedy or not, they have to offend some people."

Wang Jiaping didn't answer the question, but continued: "According to what Wu Chongli said, your son collected an additional salt tax of more than [-] taels of silver in Huai'an, but it was not recorded and reported."

Zhao Zhigao didn't know what the situation was, and didn't know whether Wu Chongli had any real evidence, so he hesitated for a moment how to answer.It just so happened that at this time his eyes turned to see Gao Yushi, and he immediately had an idea, and immediately said: "The Lianghuai Transportation Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the dog is no more than a deputy envoy. How can such a thing be done under the supervision of the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Come?"

The "deputy envoy" he mentioned here may need some explanation.The transfer salt envoy of the Lianghuai capital is in charge of the Lianghuai salt administration, and has three sub-divisions under its jurisdiction: Taizhou, Huai'an, and Tongzhou.Set up the capital transfer envoy, from the third rank, Tongzhi, from the fourth rank; deputy envoy, from the fifth rank, each with one person.There are also judges below, from the sixth rank, no quota.The other is the experience department, the governor, the salt department, the salt warehouse, the ambassador and deputy envoy of the inspection institute.

There are two "deputy envoys" here, but the latter one is not popular, and it is generally said to be the "deputy envoy of Yanyuan experience".Zhao Zhigao's son, Zhao Fengwei, was not this one, but the previous one, equivalent to the third in command of the transfer salt department of the Huaihe River Capital.

Generally speaking, the position of the third-in-command in the unit is rather embarrassing, but Yanyuan is different.Huai'an is the largest, strongest, and richest among the three sub-divisions under the Transshipment Salt Envoy Division of both Huaihe Rivers and Huaihe Rivers. This is actually a good judgment. Of the three sub-divisions, Taizhou and Tongzhou are prefectures, while Huai'an is the prefecture. The land alone is much bigger.

Because of the importance of Huai'an, the deputy envoys of the Salt Institute are generally not stationed in Yangzhou, where the Salt Institute is located, but in Huai'an, which creates opportunities for the deputy envoys to cover the sky in Huai'an.

At this time, Zhao Zhigao said this, either to promote pragmatism as a backstop, or to use pragmatism as a shield. In short, it must be uneasy and kind, and everyone can see this.

Wang Jiaping shifted his eyes slightly to look at Gao Yushi, but Gao Yushi said calmly: "The problem of Lianghuai Salt Administration is far more than Huai'an, and none of the three places can escape... However, I originally planned to wait until later." It was played."
