Chapter 208 Everyone Has Their Needs (Part [-])
During the Longqing period, military generals were indeed worthless, but there were not a few exceptions.For example, Cheng Guogong and Yingying Gong, and even Dingguogong, have somewhat of an imposing manner that a tiger will never be defeated.Compared with those civil servants who hold great power, although they are not rivals in the court battle, they have a little inherent advantage: their families live with the country, while the civil servants can only guarantee their glory when they are in power.

The system of electing officials through the imperial examination made the civil official group powerful, especially in matters related to the interests of the entire civil official group. They can consciously unite, force the emperor above, and force military officials below, and regard the interests of the civil official group as the interests of the world; But at the same time, the system of electing officials through imperial examinations also makes the power of civil servants have obvious timeliness. It cannot be inherited by pure blood relationship.

If the father's generation is an important minister of Zaifu, if the son's generation can enter the gold list, this situation is relatively easy to say, because many of the network resources of the father's generation can be used, which can be regarded as paving the way for the official career of the son's generation; An important minister, but the younger generation failed to pass the Jinshi exam, then the family is basically in decline. If no one can pass the exam again for several generations, the probability of decline is basically [-]%.This kind of family will be very worried that their ancestors offended some nobles who held grudges when they were high-ranking officials, because their own family is no longer an ordinary family, but they are relatives of honored ministers and nobles who live with the country. Squeezing themselves to death is like playing — After all, you no longer have the talisman of fame.

Therefore, although the civil servants tried their best to suppress the generals and even the nobles, they still gave some face to these top nobles.Of course, high pragmatism is not exempt, and he doesn't want to offend the top nobles in Beijing because of the prince's accompanying reading, not to mention that many of his future reforms will depend on the support of the noble group, or at least they will not be able to unite Desperately opposed, all kinds of hindrances.

Gao Yushi is different from many time-travelers he has seen in novels. He does not advocate the practice of suppressing reforms by relying on power or strength. Although it looks cool, he thinks it is a bit taken for granted.

There is a saying that goes well, where there is oppression, there is resistance.Many time travelers feel that they are carrying out reforms from the height of history, so you can just listen to me, if you don't listen, you can die.However, Gao Yushi feels that although there are times when reforms must be "forced", they are more often achieved through the guidance of interests and political compromise.

It's still the same principle, it's not that a gentleman can't do it, but if he can use his mouth to solve it, he won't do it, and if he can use money to settle it, he won't use a knife to settle it.Although these nobles seem to be useless, they still exist. Not to mention anything else, their political symbolism alone is also very useful.

According to Mao Zedong's teaching: Politics is to make our people more and more, and make the enemy's people less and less.Therefore, if Xungui can unite, then Gao Yushi will also unite. Only the diehards who really can't unite will be added to the blacklist by him and dealt with separately.

Therefore, this time he invited the children of Jingzhong Xungui for a spring outing.

Of course, the invitees were all those who were called into the palace by the emperor to play with the prince for more than ten days during the prince's accompanying reading event last time.This is also the reason why Zhu Yingzhen and Zhang Yuangong received the invitation, but Li Zongcheng did not receive the invitation - Li Zongcheng accompanied his father Li Yangong to come to Beijing on a temporary basis, and he actually arrived in Beijing for a few days.

When Menzi reported that Zhu Yingzhen and Zhang Yuangong had sent someone to ask if they could bring Li Zongcheng with them, Gao Wushi laughed.

He is not someone like Zhu Yingzhen and Zhang Yuangong who only pay attention to the large butt area of ​​the capital, so he guessed the reason why Li Zongcheng came to him so eagerly.

It is impossible for Li Zongcheng and his family to have any thoughts about the Beijing camp—none of the military households in the Beijing camp are under his family name, and all of his military households are in the south. How is it possible to come to the capital to be the prime minister of Rongzheng?Among other things, you don't have any military households, so what do you use to calm down the situation?
So the foundation of their family is in the south, and their eyes can only be set on Nanjing.

What sudden change in Nanjing made them rush to Beijing?The case of Wei Guogong's son.

What happened to Xu Pengju this time, if the court insisted on turning a blind eye to it, it would not be a big deal, but since the cabinet has already made a decision, Zhao Zhenji, the chief constitution, does not want to let such a small matter affect his major affairs, and is willing to cooperate If Gao Gong went to investigate, then Xu Pengju would have to be unlucky, because he couldn't afford it.

The question now is just how far the imperial court will deal with Xu Pengju. Although this matter will not make the Xu family lose Wei Guogong's inheritance, Xu Pengju himself will definitely be punished. Years are actually possible.

It stands to reason that the cabinet generally would not express a clear opinion on the punishment of the top nobles like the Duke of the State, and usually let the emperor "sacred heart arbitrarily", but in fact the emperor would still ask the cabinet for opinions in private, and the cabinet elders would privately I will express my opinion to the emperor face to face, but I will not draft a vote.

So in this way, Gao Gong's attitude is very important-as we all know, most of the time Gao Gong's attitude is almost the same as the emperor's attitude.Especially the Wei Guogong involved here, he belongs to the nobles of the founding family. In the eyes of the emperors of the Chengzu family, he is probably just staying for the role of display. If he makes a mistake, he doesn't have much face to talk about.

After Yongle, the status and even the real power of the honorable persons of the Jingnan line had always overwhelmed the honorable men of the founding state line.

Li Yangong must have come here for this matter.And his attitude couldn't be to intercede for Xu Pengju, it could only be that the dead fellow daoists would not die poor daoists, and by the way, see if the dead fellow daoists would drop their equipment to him.

So, what did Li Yangong hope Xu Peng would give to him——to Linhuaihou's mansion?
Nanjing garrison Xun Chen.

Historically, it was because of this incident that Xu Pengju lost Nanjing's garrison officials who had been on Wei Guogong's head for more than a hundred years, and temporarily put him on Linhuaihou's head for a few years.This time, Li Yangong must have seen this hope, so he came to Beijing to fight for it.

There are many ways to fight for it. The most stupid one is to go to the emperor. Although the emperor is the one who decides, it would be too ugly to go to him directly.So the smartest way is to go to the person with the most advice.

That must be the high arch.

But Li Yangong's identity is there, and he came to find Gao Gong at this time. If it is true that Marquis Linhuai got the post of Nanjing garrison officer in the future, it will be difficult to explain. It will not be a good thing for Marquis Linhuai's mansion or Gao Gong.

Then, in a roundabout way, Li Zongcheng is looking for Gao Yushi, which is not easy to attract attention, especially when Gao Yushi has invited so many honorable children, and Li Zongcheng, the eldest grandson of Linhuaihou, can be regarded as an old man. How many, who will pay attention to him!
