Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2022 Who is Marquis Shen inside and outside the palace (Wei [-])?

Although Gao Yushi has made it quite clear, it is based on the premise that he has roughly understood the purpose of the parties involved, and Zhu Yijun has not thought so deeply and broadly, so he is still confused. Questions were written all over his face when he was talking about Gao Wu.

Gao Wushi sighed lightly, and said: "In short, the imperial concubine has no subjective intention to harm the emperor, but if certain things develop to a certain stage, it cannot be ruled out that the imperial concubine will choose to make the emperor... suffer."

"Take a little pain?" Zhu Yijun's face was cloudy, and he asked slowly: "What do you mean by a little pain?"

Gao Wushi curled his lips, spread his hands, and said, "If the minister's predictions are not bad, I am afraid that in the eyes of the imperial concubine, this so-called 'suffering' is to make the emperor feel unwell, and it may take a while to recover. And During this period, although the emperor's life is not in danger, he must not be able to see things."

"She wants me to be unable to see things for a while?" Faced with Gao Wushi's "so excessive" accusation against Concubine Zheng Huanggui without conclusive evidence, Zhu Yijun did not immediately get angry, but thoughtful.

After a while, he asked: "In your opinion, what does she want to do during the time when I can't see things?"

"Why does the emperor ask knowingly?" Gao Wushi sighed, as if he didn't want to answer directly.

"No, I have to ask this point clearly, and you have to tell me in detail." Zhu Yijun said with a very serious expression, staring into Gao Yushi's eyes.

"The emperor should know that these words of the minister are just inferences..."

"Of course I know." This time, Zhu Yijun said the word "zhen" very emphatically.

"Okay." Gao Wushi paused, and said: "Actually, the imperial concubine's purpose is very clear. From the beginning to the end, what she wants is nothing more than the third son of the emperor to become the prince. Therefore, if one day she thinks that the time has come, she must let the emperor for a while." The situation where she can't take things seriously, then what she has to do is to take advantage of this opportunity to completely remove the obstacle that prevents the third son from becoming a prince."

"Clean up thoroughly." Zhu Yijun repeated it expressionlessly, and said lightly: "That is to say, Chang Luo and Chang Hao must die?"

Gao Yushi was taken aback for a moment, and said in surprise: "This matter should have nothing to do with the fifth son of the emperor."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "I'm not talking about the old Wu Changhao, but Chang Hao who is full moon today—Shuijing Yezhihao. This is the name I plan to name him."

Oh I got it.Zhu Changhao, Zhu Changhao, the last word of these two brothers has the same pronunciation.The emperor's son hadn't been named before, so Gao Wushi naturally thought of Zhu Changhao, the fifth son, when he heard it, so there was a misunderstanding above.

Zhu Changhao, the fifth son of the emperor, whose biological mother was Concubine Zhou Duan, was conferred the title of Concubine Duan in March of the tenth year of Wanli, ranking first among the nine concubines. Concubine Duan was ranked second among the nine concubines at the time, so Concubine Duan was even above Concubine Zheng at that time.

But in fact, Concubine Duan was not very favored, so she didn't give birth to Zhu Changhao, the fifth son of the emperor, until the 19th year of Wanli.In the 22nd year of Wanli, the fifth son of the emperor was still growing up healthily, so the mother was more expensive than the child, so she was canonized as Duanfei in November.But how should I put it... In short, both mother and child were not favored in the original history.

But here is an interesting anecdote, the concubine of Zhou Duan has a very long lifespan.She became the head of the nine concubines in ten years of Wanli. That year was 1582 AD, and in June 1644, something bad happened.

This year, Zhang Xianzhong captured Sichuan and killed Duanfei's son Rui Wang Zhu Changhao's family and all subordinate officials.In October, Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, and concubine Zhou Duan returned to her natal family to live in. She survived until the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and she was more than [-] years old.As for the exact year of his death is unknown, it is said that he was buried in the tomb of Shenzong's fourth concubine-this should be done with the help of the Qing Dynasty in order to win people's hearts.

[Note: Because the year of Shunzhi was used until 1661, and Nanming died in 1662, since she was recorded in the history books as being in the Shunzhi period instead of the Kangxi period, it means that she passed away before Nanming was completely destroyed.At this time, Taqing would still pinch his nose to invite people's hearts. ]
As for the name of the emperor's son... Hao, refers to the huge and boundless appearance of the water, sometimes it is extended to mean broad, and it is suitable to be used to name the emperor's son.

Speaking of which, if Gao Yushi is not the number one hero, he is indeed an important hero for the birth of the emperor's son.After all, if there is no high pragmatism, there will be no record of pregnancy in the original history of Queen Wang.Now that she can give birth smoothly at an "advanced age" in her 30s, can't she thank Gao Wushi for arranging Li Shizhen to see her for treatment?

"I see." Gao Wushi nodded, turned the conversation back, and said: "In short, as long as the emperor understands what the imperial concubine wants, then he can know what he wants to do without asking."

Zhu Yijun was silent for a long while, then shook his head and said: "Parents have inherent preference, but the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring. How can I sit and watch such a tragedy happen at my knees."

Gao Wushi said with satisfaction: "It is really a blessing for the world to have such insight."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yijun shook his head: "But it has nothing to do with the world, it's just father and son."

The term "father, father, son and son" comes from "The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan". The original text is as follows: Qi Jinggong asked Confucius about politics.Confucius said to each other: "Junjun, ministers and ministers, fathers and sons, sons and sons." The duke said: "That's good! Belief is like a king without a king, a minister without a minister, a father without a father, and a son without a son. Although there is millet, I get it and eat it." various?"

It means: Qi Jinggong asked Confucius about politics.Confucius replied: "A ruler should be like a ruler, a minister should be like a minister, a father should be like a father, and a son should be like a son." Qi Jinggong said: "Excellent! If the ruler is not like the emperor and the minister is not like the minister , The father is not like the father, the son is not like the son, even if there is more food, can I eat it?"

Of course, the meaning of the words also depends on the context. What Zhu Yijun said at the moment is basically saying: I am a father, and I have to take care of my sons like a father, and the sons should be taken care of by my father as a matter of course. .

In short, Zhu Yijun viewed this matter purely from the perspective of father-son ethics.

However, Gao Wushi disagreed, he also shook his head and said: "Otherwise, the relationship between ordinary father and son is naturally just a simple father and son, but the emperor is the supreme in the world, and the relationship between emperor and son is not limited to father and son, it is also a monarch and minister.

The Analects of Confucius said that the ruler, the ministers, the father and the father, and the son and son.The distinction between monarch and minister, but before father and son... does the emperor know why? "

Zhu Yijun remained silent.

Gao Wushi then asked, "Does the Emperor know the story of King Zhou You?"

Zhu Yijun frowned: "What? To be practical, you regard me as King You and Concubine Zheng as Baosi?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "I want to ask, does the Emperor know about Yijiu and Bofu?"

The story he told was obviously not the most famous "Princes of Fenghuo Opera" by King Zhou You, but another story related to the heir - of course, there was still a scene of Bao Si in it.

King Zhou You, as a well-known stupid king in the Western Zhou Dynasty, has always been a player with a stable position in the list of stupid kings in Chinese history, so he probably doesn't need much introduction.

The story Gao Wushi told was that King You of Zhou originally appointed Yijiu as the crown prince. Yijiu's mother was the daughter of Marquis Shen, who was the ruler of a powerful vassal state in the Western Zhou Dynasty. .

It stands to reason that Yijiu has such a powerful grandfather as his backing, so it should be a matter of course for him to become the king of the Zhou Dynasty after the death of King Zhou You.

However, accidents still happened.King Zhou You got the great beauty Baosi, and because he doted on this Baosi very much, he also loved Wu and Wu, and doted on him and Baosi's son Bofu very much.

Not long after, King You appointed Baosi as the queen, and at the same time abolished the prince Yijiu, and made Baosi's son Bofu the prince.All the ministers and princes objected to this, but King Zhou You refused to listen.

King Zhou You's move obviously angered Marquis Shen immediately, so he didn't do anything, and he simply united with Quanrong and Zangguo in the west of the Zhou royal family to rebel together.

Due to King Zhou You's mediocrity, although the vassal states knew that Marquis Shen was rebelling, no one sent troops to rescue King You. Marquis Shen and others easily captured Haojing, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and killed King Zhou You.

After King You died, Yijiu succeeded him as King Ping of Zhou.

After experiencing this catastrophe, the status of the Zhou royal family plummeted, and its strength declined greatly.In order to prevent the invasion of dogs and the fact that Haojing was already devastated, King Zhou Ping had to move the capital to Luoyi in the second year of his succession, which also symbolized the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Spring and Autumn Period.

What Gao Yushi wants to remind Zhu Yijun here is that all of this is traced to the root cause of King Zhou You's eccentricity.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yijun narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to Gao Yushi: "Yushi, I naturally remember this story, you were the first one to tell me about it when I was young... But, I remember when you said something about it." There are other perspectives on things.”

This time it was Gao Wushi's turn to remain silent.

In fact, in these very early histories, many records either conflict with each other or are vague, and it is easy for later generations to talk about things from different angles because of different emphases.When Gao Yushi told Zhu Yijun about this story, he did not discuss it from the perspective of King Zhou You destroying the successor system.

Back then, Gao Pragmatism spoke from the perspective of "the Emperor's Forbidden Army must be strong and loyal".If this story were to be re-discussed, it would be too long. To put it simply, when the Xishen Kingdom united with the dog army to attack Haojing, the Zhou royal family actually had a powerful army directly led by the royal family in theory, and it was called the "Six Armies". .

"Zhou Li·Xiaguan·Xuguan" said: "Where an army is commanded, there are 500 people in the army. The six armies of the king, the three armies of the big country, the second army of the second country, and the first army of the small country." "Zuo Zhuan·Xianggong 14 Years" said: "Zhou is the six armies, and the big princes can have three armies." Therefore, "six armies" were used as the collective name of the national army.Of course, it is often referred to as the Emperor's Forbidden Army.

But the strange thing is that in the story of King Zhou You, the Sixth Army hardly played any role. Many records say that the Sixth Army just resisted at will and then retreated, and it seems that it is not even clear where to retreat.

Therefore, Gao Wushi's explanation to little Zhu Yijun at that time was that King Zhou You lost the morale of the army by going against the grain, so that "the six armies did not attack" at the critical moment, and the country suffered disaster.Therefore, he warned Zhu Yijun not to treat the army slowly, and he must try his best to guarantee money, food and armor.

Obviously, Gao Wushi said this to Zhu Yijun at the time because the military industry and privatization had just been implemented at that time, and there were still many people who opposed it from time to time. Thorough corruption, if left unattended, sooner or later the army will be unable to fight, and even unwilling to fight for the emperor.

Moreover, the impact of this story was not limited to the period when the military industry and private sector were implemented. Later, when the Beijing Camp was restructured, Zhu Yijun had always given Gao Pragmatic his full support, which was also related to the shock that this story gave him in the early years, which made him insist that the Beijing Camp was a great Ming Dynasty. Our "six armies" cannot be all scumbags, but must be a reliable and capable force.

It stands to reason that Gao Yushi's use of the story of King Zhou You's loss of Haojing these two times does not conflict with each other: the previous time was to discuss the importance of the emperor's imperial army, and this time it was to discuss the importance of the successor system.

But what Zhu Yijun said at this moment was not to accuse Gao Yushi of inconsistent arguments, but...

"A minister attacking his ruler is called rebellion, and a ruler attacking his minister is called begging." Zhu Yijun patted the armrest and said, "Even if King Zhou You made thousands of mistakes, the Marquis of Shen rebelled with the help of dogs, isn't his crime worthy of punishment?" Besides... Be pragmatic, tell me, is there anyone in the world today who can be the Marquis of Shen? Can anyone be the Marquis of the Dog?"

Gao Wushi was silent just now, in fact, he realized the hidden danger in his words, but he didn't expect Zhu Yijun would really say it.

In today's world, who can be Marquis of Shen and who can be a dog?

Marquis Shen is the father of the abolished Empress Shen of King You of Zhou. The biological father of Empress Wang is Wang Wei.Yongnian Bo, who was born as a ninth-rank petty official, had no fief and no sense of presence in the army, so naturally he couldn't be a Marquis of Shen.

However, everyone in the world knows that Queen Wang's biggest supporter now... is Gao Yushi!

Therefore, if someone can really "be the Marquis of Shen" when "King Zhou You went against the law", then this person can only be him who is highly pragmatic!

Does Gao Yushi have military power?It stands to reason, of course they don't have it in normal times, but who doesn't know how high Gao Wu's prestige is in the towns of the Nine Borders?Even the imperial guards, which the imperial court relies on most now, were assembled by Gao Pragmatism!

If Gao Yushi really wants to "be the Marquis of Shen", then his "Marquis of Shen" will only be stronger than the Marquis of Shen back then.

As for "Who is the Dog Rong"... This is even more interesting.Could Tumed be a "dog Rong"?Can Ordos be a "dog army"?Can the Jurchen tribes be "dog soldiers"?Even more exaggerated, the chieftains in Southwest China who used to be Gao Yushi's subordinates and now rely on Jinghua to make money to support their families, could they be "dog soldiers"?

Gao Yushi never imagined that after going around in this circle, he actually got himself involved.

However, he also realized that with the development of time, his prestige in all parties continued to increase. As the emperor, Zhu Yijun had to consider some situations that he would not have considered before.

Gao Wushi knew that he was still a minister of the emperor's arm and arm, and he was still a minister of trust, but it was impossible for the emperor to be as unreserved as he was ten or twenty years ago.
