Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2082 Zheng Guoben (卌[-]) attaches great importance to it
Wang An's previous high-level performance was seen in his eyes, and he had judged his fate, and even deliberately did some things to speed up the process.But to be honest, Gao Wushi did not expect him to die so quickly and without warning.

According to Gao Yushi's original prediction, there is a high probability that Wang An's accident will happen after his private collusion with Shen Yiguan is exposed, and Shen Yiguan's involvement in the "medicine diet case" cannot be cleared of suspicion.

Moreover, Gao Wushi did not even judge that Wang An would die—if he had to say death, it should only be his political life would die, and the final outcome was more likely to be "Sixiang Xiaolingwei" or "Nanjing Planting Vegetables".

But Wang An still died, very abruptly, and what is more doubtful is his method of death: hanging himself.

After all, he is Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the admiral of the East Factory. From the perspective of internal and external relatives, his status is like that of the cabinet's second assistant.To be honest, even if a senior official of this level loses the party struggle, it is not easy to die. Unless it is suspected of treason with solid evidence, generally speaking, it is impossible to lose his life.

It is impossible for Wang An himself not to know this reality, so how could he be so overwhelmed and choose to hang himself so abruptly?
Theoretically speaking, there is only one possibility, that is, he is really suspected of treason, and the truth is about to be revealed to the world.Since the crime was unforgivable and there was no escape, he had no choice but to choose to hang himself. At least he could preserve the last bit of decency, so that he would not be pushed out of the Meridian Gate to be executed in the middle of no time, and he would end up in the tragic end of being hacked into pieces without a whole body.

In this case, the problem arises. Although he Wang An has done a lot of small tricks, he is certainly guilty of the crime, but in the end he did not conspire against him!Guilty and unforgivable crime are two completely different concepts in a society ruled by man like the Ming Dynasty.

For example, if Gao Yushi beat someone to death on the street one day, do you think he was guilty?Certainly guilty, but not unforgivable.

Gao Pragmatism can be said that the other party did not shy away from the guard of honor of the court assistants, and he only ordered a slight punishment, but the servants were a little harsher, so this was an accident.He could even be even more shameless, simply saying that the other party's filthy words to him were an insult to the court officials, and a contempt for the law of dignity and inferiority!

If this kind of thing is brought up to the emperor, it is very likely that the emperor will say in the end: "What Gao Aiqing said is absolutely true, and the court's law cannot be tarnished", then this person will be killed for nothing, and the unlucky person who died innocently and tragically will have nothing to do with him. I thought I was unlucky, and went to the city to cry for injustice.

This is called a society ruled by man.Depending on your status, the laws that apply to you are different.What is fair and just, what the hell is that?

You are born a prince and grow up to be an emperor; you are born a refugee and grow up to be a beggar.In the eyes of others, you are at most a word "wait" in the statistical results. Do you still expect others to give you fairness and justice?That's not what dreams do.

So Wang An's death was too strange. He had no reason to die at all.Taking a ten thousand step back, Wang An is currently in the key position of admiral of the East Factory as a bargaining chip. If he is willing to change his position, he may not be willing to accept it if he is highly pragmatic. Why did he suddenly die?
Gao Wushi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his brain was running at high speed—what went wrong?

Not only Gao Wu is planning, but the senior officials present here are considered to be half of the imperial court, and everyone is unavoidably surprised and suspicious, and then discusses the various possibilities behind this incident with their close colleagues.

Even Chen Yubi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who only expressed certain attitudes at the beginning of the meeting, couldn't sit still at this time, and leaned sideways and whispered to Gao Wushi: "Rixin, just yesterday, Dongchang and Jinyiwei Officially starting to investigate the medicated diet case, do you think there will be... In addition, Wang An was recommended by Chen Zhangyin."

Chen Yubi was not originally a member of the Real School. He was the son of Chen Yiqin, who was Gao Gong's colleague and cabinet member during the Jiajing and Longqing dynasties. He was originally a small faction of his own.

Later, during the Yunnan-Burma War, Liu Shizeng, an important member of the Chen Party and the governor of Yunnan, fell into a political passivity because of the unsatisfactory war. It was Gao Yushi who helped him, which kept the Chen Party from falling apart.

From then on, Chen Yubi saw the general trend clearly and honestly joined the Real School side, but still had a certain independent status.As the "non-core force" of the Practical School, Chen Yubi himself was pushed to the special high position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials by Gao Yushi - part of the reason why he was pushed was that he was not the core of the Practical School and stayed in such a sensitive position Received less criticism.

Of course, since it is "non-core", he has many secrets that are not obtained in a timely manner.For example, from what he said at this moment, it can be known that he is not even aware that the relationship between Chen Ju and Wang An has changed.

However, Gao Yushi couldn't go into details with him at the moment, so he could only nod his head slightly, and said: "There are some doubts in this, I will discuss it with Brother Yulei in detail after the meeting." Chen Yubi also knew that now is not the time to talk in detail, Nodding his head, he said, "May I see you every day."

So, Gao Wushi coughed heavily, and everyone immediately quieted down to see what Elder Gao Ge had to say.

"Although this incident is bizarre, more news will come out in the future. For now, let's continue to discuss the disaster in Jiangnan." Gao Wushi said calmly: "My judgment is that this white disaster in Jiangnan will not only Several prefectures and counties were seriously affected by the disaster, and in more places, the time to report the disaster was delayed due to inconvenient roads.

This dynasty has been established for more than [-] years. In the past, due to financial difficulties, it was often more than enough to deal with civil disasters.However, since his succession to the throne, he has worked hard for more than [-] years, and the country has been rejuvenated.Therefore, the imperial court is increasingly playing a central role in disaster relief. You have all experienced this, so I don't need to explain it one by one.

This time, there was an earthquake in Liaodong in the north and a white disaster in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south. It is really a blessing.However, as the saying goes, it is difficult to rejuvenate the country with sorrow and enlightenment. Although the disaster is serious, it is also a great opportunity to test whether our generation is diligent in the affairs of the king and whether we have the hearts of the people.Therefore, just as Otsuka Jae said, the aftermath of these two catastrophes should indeed be included in the main points of this year's assessment by the Ministry of Officials.

You might as well tell me about the measures you have taken to deal with the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River. If you all brainstorm, you can always solve these difficulties better. "

Gao Yushi paid so much attention to the white disaster in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which surprised many people present.The reason is not complicated, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area is the stronghold of the Mind School, and from a political perspective, it is the hostile sphere of influence of the Real School.It stands to reason that he should be very pragmatic and happy about the disasters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Even if he wants to show the so-called prime minister's demeanor, he only needs to routinely reduce the taxes and silver for this year.

It can even be said that this tax and silver may not necessarily need to be fully reduced. You can see from the handling opinions of the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs, "The ones who are severely affected have a difference in taxation, and the lighter ones are still taxed. The rice, beans, sesame, etc. are sacrificed The use of the mausoleum and temple must not be changed."

This is the normal way!Those who were seriously affected by the disaster were exempted as appropriate, and those who were less affected were taxed as much as they should be. As for the collection of in-kind items such as rice, beans, sesame, etc., these were collected as sacrifices to the mausoleum temple. These items must be charged as much as they should be charged, not a penny less!
You see, the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing is called being an official, and this is called the ancestral system that cannot be violated. It's all said, what kind of tricks are you playing?
As for disaster relief, there are so many good gentry among the people, so they will naturally contribute to the village.However, ordinary people are not dead, don't they know how to sweep the snow before their own doors? As for being so nervous like you?What's the matter, you have already been a Buddha of Wanjia in Henan and Guangxi, and now you plan to become a Buddha of Wanjia in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?
When Gao Wushi said these words, everyone, no matter whether they were from the School of Reality or the School of Heart, was unwilling to speak first.

The officials of the Real School feel that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have always been hostile to us. Even if everyone has to help him out of respect for Gao Ge, they will not take the initiative to come over. Embarrassing or not?
Officials from the Heart School felt that Gao's pragmatic attitude was too weird. The so-called abnormality must have a demon, and the ghost knows what he is planning.Maybe this is because he deliberately extended favors in the Jiangnan area, the purpose is to establish his own reputation as a school of practical learning and a great Confucianism in the world, and in the end it is nothing more than to grab the hearts of the people and make the My Heart School lose its last Taoist place.

In addition to this, of course, there are many people who are from the neutral school of traditional Neo-Confucianism. Originally, they could be more objective and neutral, but they also have two problems:
First, Gao Yushi seems to have attached too much importance to disaster relief.This is not a tradition of the Ming Dynasty, and if this becomes a common practice, then if there is a disaster in the future, everyone will have to find a way in a hurry.You know, there are disasters everywhere these years, and it is not surprising that there will be a few more catastrophes. Then we people will not be busy to death?

Second, if you look at the officials of the two factions of practical learning and mental learning, they don't look at each other. It seems that each of them doubts the other's position.If I jump out to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks at such a time, who knows what they will think?
In officialdom, it has always been more important than less, and it is all about turning major issues into small ones, and whoever has a wrong mind will look for trouble when there is nothing wrong, and treat trivial matters as major ones.How much money did the imperial court give us in salary, is it worth risking our lives like this?
What, why do you think Mr. Gao Ge wants to do this?What a joke, how do you compare with others? They are not only holy family members Dulong, they have allowed Wen Yunwu over the years, and made countless civil and military achievements. Maybe they will be a "Wenzheng" after death in the future!Do you compare with him, who eats more?

Seeing that there were dozens of people present, but no one responded for a long time, Gao Pragmatic's expression gradually became severe.
