Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2023 Inside and Outside the Palace

The interview lasted for a long time. When Gao Yushi came out of Xinuang Pavilion, the sky was already getting dark, and the last glimmer of light seemed to be disappearing.

Several small yellow gates of the Supervisor of Rituals led Gao Wushi out of the Qianqing Palace, and politely asked him whether he was going to the cabinet or planning to leave the palace. Gao Wushi looked at the sky and said, "Leaving the palace." Several small yellow gates Without asking too much, he led Gao Yushi to Donghua Gate.

In fact, Donghua Gate is in the southeast corner of the Imperial Palace, and the high-practice Nanning Marquis Mansion is located in the north of the Imperial City. If Gao Pragmatic can go to Xuanwu Gate to leave the palace, it can save almost half an hour.It's a pity that such a walk is impossible, because it would have to go through the harem.

Therefore, Gao Yushi’s route back to the mansion is to leave the imperial palace from Donghua Gate, then walk north in the imperial city, pass by Guanglu Temple, inner transport warehouse, elephant house, Yumajian, Silijian, etc., and finally from Di'anmen leaves the imperial city.This is the scope of Zhaohui Jinggong Square, and the Nanning Hou Mansion is the westernmost part of this square, next to Shichahai.

[Note: The capital of the Ming Dynasty should be divided into "three rings". The first ring can be understood as the palace city, the second ring is the imperial city, and the third ring is the capital city wall.Inside the palace city is the imperial palace; within the imperial city are a bunch of yamen, Sanhai, Meishan, etc. The yamen are mainly inner court yamen; outside the imperial city are the rest of the outer court yamen, commercial areas, residential areas, temples and Taoist temples. ]
When Gao Yushi left Donghuamen, Donghuamen was already about to close, and it was almost like getting off work.After leaving the Donghua Gate, Gao Wushi found a few officials in bright red robes talking with each other at the corner of Guanglu Temple in the distance after walking only more than 30 zhang.

According to the system, the Dahong robe should be above the fourth rank.However, there are more foreign officials of the fourth rank, and fewer officials in the capital. Usually when seeing red robes in the capital, there is a high probability that they are all officials of the third rank and above.

Gao Wushi stepped forward, and the others also saw him coming and greeted him proactively.Gao Wushi took a closer look and realized that he was far away just now, and he didn't look carefully under the dark sky. Although the visitors all wore scarlet robes, the styles were different, and none of them were formal official uniforms.

There were five people in total, two of them wore flying fish suits, one wore bullfighting suits, and two wore boa robes.

Wearing python robes are the inner and outer phases—Shoufu Wang Jiaping and the chief eunuch Chen Ju, who is in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies; Shen Yiguan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, is wearing a bullfighting suit; The admiral Wang An and the third-ranked eunuch Liu Ping of Bingbi.

"Rixin came just in time. If you don't come again, the old man and Lord Jiaomen will have to go back to write bullets." Wang Jiaping's words sounded a little scary, but he said it with a smile, obviously it was a joke.

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "Although there was an accident today, there is no emergency at the moment. Why do you make a fool stay in the palace overnight? Of course he will come out." After a pause, he asked again: "Yuanfu, Jiao Why are the father-in-law and the three father-in-laws here?"

Several people looked at each other, Wang Jiaping still spoke, and said: "Rixin asked knowingly... Naturally, I was waiting to ask you, what is the emperor's arrangement for Yikun Palace?"

Sure enough, it was for this matter.

Gao Wushi shook his head slightly, and said: "The emperor thinks this matter has nothing to do with Yikun Palace."

Wang Jiaping immediately became serious, frowned and said: "Rixin, this is a big matter, don't you ever argue with reason?"

Gao Wushi sighed softly, waved his hands and said, "If you don't get close, it's useless to fight." As he spoke, he bowed his head sadly on purpose, but quietly paid attention to Shen Yiguan from the corner of his eyes.

Sure enough, when Shen Yiguan heard him say "fighting is useless", he was obviously relieved, but it was quickly covered up by his deliberate seriousness.

Wang Jiaping didn't notice such details, but his face was livid, and he snorted coldly: "My dear, Yuan Xianchen, that's why the Han Dynasty has fallen since then."

Everyone is familiar with this sentence, it is Zhuge Liang's famous sentence in "Teacher's Biao".But also because of this, everyone's expression changed slightly - you say that, do you regard Jinshang as Liu Chan, or the second emperor Huan Ling?
But, civil servants have the "privilege" of civil servants, and criticizing the emperor is one of them.Especially civil servants at the emperor's division level, most of them criticize as soon as they are criticized, and generally they don't cause much trouble.

But at this time there were three eunuchs present, so what he said was inappropriate after all, so Shen Yiguan immediately took the conversation away and said: "Yikun Palace is the key to this matter. If the emperor refuses to investigate Yikun Palace, what will happen today?" I am afraid we will never be able to find out the truth after all these changes... But what should we do?"

Gao Wushi was silent, but Wang Jiaping was still angry, and said: "This matter is not limited to the emperor's family affairs, it is related to the safety of the world, how can we not investigate?"

Everyone didn't answer, Wang Jiaping simply called Wang An by name, and said: "Director Wang, I've heard that you claim to be a direct minister. I don't know if you think this matter should be thoroughly investigated?"

All of a sudden, all ten eyes stared at Wang An, making him very uneasy.But Wang An was Wang An after all, his face twitched twice, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course our family thinks that we should investigate."

Everyone's expressions were different, but Wang An unexpectedly added another sentence: "However, in the final analysis, all matters in the inner court have to be decided by Chen's palm seal, and An Wei's palm seal's order is to follow."

Good guy, you're going to die together, right?

Chen Ju's face was ashen, and he thought to himself: But the order of the palm print is to follow?Well said, but why didn't I see you so cute in Xinuange before?

It's a pity that he couldn't say this, and facing the eyes that turned to him again, Chen Ju had no choice but to say: "It's the duty of a minister to offer loyal words, and our family will naturally have to report our interests to the emperor."

This is called "You are a thousand-year-old fox, why are you playing with me?" You, Wang An, can do Tai Chi, and I, Chen Ju, have been the palm print eunuch for so many years. I can't do this one?

"Painfully report the interests", you said it in a righteous way, but the problem is that you Chen Juchen's big palm prints to the emperor to painfully report the interests, does this thing really make sense?
Nonsense, of course not——Gao Yushi, the most favored minister in the world, said that he was "inseparable from relatives, and it is useless to fight", and no matter how others tried to "reveal their interests" with the emperor, it must be all in vain .

What's more, you, Chen Ju, are an old man who the emperor is used to. As long as there is no verbal taboo when "reporting interests", the emperor may just ignore it, but if it is replaced by someone else, then there is no certainty. What about the consequences.

In short, even if what Chen Ju said was true, if he really went to "report the benefits and disadvantages" afterwards, it would just go through a process, and no effect could be expected at all.

Shen Yiguan sighed, and said: "In any case, if Chen Zhangyin can do this, he has fulfilled his duty as a minister. I wait for the reward of eating the emperor, and the matter of being loyal to the emperor. At this time of righteousness, I can't be willing to be an inferior. Tomorrow, we will go to Shushu to argue hard.”

Gao Wushi didn't speak, but nodded repeatedly in agreement.But Wang Jiaping obviously thought that this kind of strength was far from enough, he paced around with his hands behind his back, then quickly stood still, and said with firm eyes: "Nowadays, both the inner court and the outer court hold this view, since the fool is at the head of the pavilion, he must not sit idly by. "

He took a deep breath, and resolutely said: "Since Wanli, all the chief assistants have been great talents in the world. Xinzheng Gaogong, the first to clean up the dirty atmosphere and open up the atmosphere, namely Bing, Wei, Fang, and Du, are not many. Let also; [Note: Bing, Wei, Fang, Du, that is, Bing Ji, Wei Xiang, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui.]
Guo Gong of Anyang, upholding integrity and prudence, has peace of mind in the world. His Xiaogui Cao Suifei has no deep plans, and he has solidified his career and carried it forward. He is different from Yihou in the world; ]
Zhang Gong of Puzhou, living in constant simplicity, is extremely filial. Whenever he is faced with major events and resolves major doubts, he is ready to face the edge. , Guan Zhong. ]
Lord Shen of Cheung Chau, guard against haste and use forbearance, uphold government but be lenient, seldom thunderous but full of mercy.If it is said that Xinzheng Gaogong is the spring thunder, and the sound of it shakes the world, then Shen Gong should be the spring rain, which moistens all things silently, just like Zhao Hanwang. [Note: King Zhao Han, Prime Minister Zhao Pu in the early Song Dynasty. ]
Although these four princes have different personalities and conduct different policies, they all contributed a lot to the country and the people.Later, due to changes, Zhiyu succeeded.Yu knows that virtue is weak and talent is shallow. Since he was appointed, he has only tried his best and dared not hope for a long history.

However, what happened today can be said to be a calamity. If the root cause of the disease cannot be eliminated early, it will lead to serious troubles in the future, and even... there may be unbearable changes.I am not as stupid as Sigong, but the word loyalty dares to be attached to the tail.

Tomorrow's play, if it succeeds, it will make up for it, and if it fails, it will resign and return to the country. There will be no other results.If you are stupid to say goodbye, I hope you will do your best to do so, and you must not repeat the disaster of Baosi and Daji. "

When Wang Jiaping said these words, even Gao Yushi couldn't help but be moved.

You know, Wang Jiaping had a tacit understanding with the emperor long ago, as long as he survives until the emperor's son canonize him as the prince, he can retire after success.

Although he didn't do it for a long time, in any case, Daming defeated Japan during his tenure, and included North Korea.Even with this skill alone, he can be honored by the Xiangguo in his life and famous in history in his death.

However, because of today's incident, Wang Jiaping wanted to force her to resign, not just for show, but because she really planned to succeed or be benevolent.With such courage and bearing, even Gao Yushi, an old Jianghu who is used to seeing sinister people, can't help but feel a respect from the bottom of his heart.

But just when Gao Wushi was still in shock and didn't think about how to persuade him, Shen Yiguan who was at the side hastily stretched out his hand to stop him, persuading Wang Jiaping: "Yuanfu must not do this, must not do this. "

Wang Jiaping waved his hand and said: "You don't need to persuade Jiaomen Gong, a gentleman does something and doesn't do it, with today's situation, there is a reason for foolishness to do something."

"Yuan Fu's words are wrong!" Shen Yiguan hurriedly said: "The so-called women's misfortune in the palace has always been the most difficult to stop, even if all the courts and ministers work together, it often cannot be achieved overnight.

Thanks to the assistance of the four lords, the Holy Majesty has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, and has reported to the Taimiao several times to honor his great achievements. He can be called the master of Zhongxing.Although I am confused by Humei today, it is not impossible to save.At that time, when our assistant ministers should do something, Yuanfu is our leader, how can we just ignore it because of temporary success or failure?I also hope that Yuan Fu's plan will last for a long time, and the world will be very lucky if you think twice before acting.

PS: I wrote today's chapter from about 06:30 after dinner until now. It took me six hours to write 3K. Everyone was tired.Looking back, it's a coincidence that it happens to be a node that can be divided into chapters, so let's just do it first.

I feel like I may have a slight cold, and my brain seems to be a little swollen. I don’t know if it’s a real cold or because I have to review the plot and choose words carefully when summarizing the first four chief assistants, making my head dizzy...
