Daming Yuanfu

Early the next morning, Gao Wushi was going to the court, but upon arriving at Beiying, he got the news that the emperor was sick and had to stop the court today.This news wasn't too surprising, after all, the emperor just coughed up blood and fainted a few days ago, and with Zhu Yijun's usual habits over the years, it was perfectly normal for him to take the opportunity to stop court.

The concept of "Beiying" was mentioned just now, and it may be necessary to explain what it is.

As the most important activity of the ancient imperial court, the court meeting usually has three types: early court, afternoon court and late court, among which the early court is the most core part.Since it is so important, of course the court meeting has a strict system, and because Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, the Ming Dynasty's court meeting system also has its uniqueness.

The officials of the upper court in Ming Dynasty were called "challenge officials" and "jingchao officials", and they all wore tooth cards for entering and leaving the court.For the convenience of going to court, most of them choose houses to live in the south of the city, such as East and West Chang'an Avenue, where court officials live most.

Because there are too many officials, the houses here are row upon row. Of course, senior officials are unwilling to live here. Therefore, officials of the third rank and above often live around the east, west, north, and east sides of the imperial city.For example, the highly pragmatic Nanning Marquis Mansion is located on the Shicha Seashore to the north of Meishan, almost due north of the imperial city.

Dachao is very troublesome.Before the morning court, the ministers must get up at midnight, and after getting ready, go to the Meridian Gate to assemble.At about three o'clock in the morning, the ministers arrived and waited outside the Meridian Gate.

The Meridian Gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City, with the royal road in the middle, which is usually not opened, and the left and right gates are for the entry and exit of the generals on duty and the guards holding the flag school.There are also two gates on the left and right, called the left and right gates, which are the gates for officials to enter the court.The upper building above the Meridian Gate is named "Wufeng".

In order to make it easier for officials to wait for the court to "wait for leakage" [Note: waiting time], the imperial court built many court houses in the imperial city, where officials sat and stood according to their grades, waiting for the palace gate to open.

As a preferential treatment for close ministers, there are special straight rooms in Duanmen, among which the south of Youque Gate is the straight room of Jinyiwei, and the lower three rooms are Hanlin Zhifang.During the imperial court, the university scholars lived in the north ying, all the scholars lived in the middle ying, and the rest lived in the south ying.In addition, there are five straight rooms on the left side of the Duanmen, also known as "board houses", which are the places where Zhanshifu, Zuochunfang and officials from the Sijing Bureau lived.

The elders in the cabinet are all grand scholars of the palace, so they are unified in Beiying Houchao, and the high pragmatism is naturally here.

As for the subsequent rules, of course, there are still many rules, such as the frequency of entering the court, the route of entering the court, the position of the station, and the etiquette of performing events.But today, since I quit the court, I will press the button first.

What was unexpected at this time was that when Gao Wushi was going to the cabinet to wait for the reply from the supervisor of ceremonies to his report today, Xiao Huangmen, the supervisor of ceremonies, came to inform him quietly, saying that Mr. Gao Ge should work in the cabinet today , there is no need to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, because the emperor may summon him at any time.

The past few days have been eventful, and it was not surprising that the emperor wanted to summon Gao Yushi, but did he deliberately keep Gao Yushi in the palace because of the distance between the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs?How much is a bit beyond Gao Pragmatic's expectations.

However, Gao Wushi didn't care too much. After all, he didn't intend to do any business that would lose his head. The emperor didn't think it was just for the sake of throwing a cup.Therefore, he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded calmly, and planned to leave Beiying and go to the cabinet.

However, he had just left Beiying Zhifang, when Shen's usual voice sounded from behind: "Grand Rixin, please stay."

Gao Wushi turned around, showed a gentle smile, cupped his hands and said, "So it's Lord Jiaomen, what advice can I give?"

"Master Rixin, Ming people don't speak dark words, today we always ask for something." Shen Yiguan said straight to the point: "This is not a place for discussion. I wonder if I could invite Mr. Rixin to come to Yiguan's room to talk about it?"

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Why not? Lord Jiaomen, please."

"Don't dare, it's always been a latecomer in the court, and Rixin Gong should be the first to invite." Shen Yiguan stretched out his hand to make false quotations, asking Gao Pragmatic to take the lead.Gao Yushi was no longer polite this time, and after nodding his head as a signal, he walked first, and Shen Yiguan followed.

The rest of the elders in Beiying all saw this scene. Although their expressions were different, none of them said much. They just quietly watched the two go away, and then went to the cabinet separately.

Gao Yushi and Shen Yiguan arrived at the cabinet, and Shen Yiguan politely invited Gao Yushi into his room, and ordered Guanzheng Jinshi to serve tea and snacks.

Gao Wushi took his time, but neither drank tea nor ate snacks, just looked at Shen Guanyi with a smile.

Shen Yiguan pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "I have been in the dynasty for more than [-] years, and there were already many problems. However, during the Hongzhi period, the first Emperor Xiaozong had laws in Anbang, and he was able to manage officials well. This is the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. Only those who regret it , less than twenty years.

It is only once in a dynasty that there is a revival in all dynasties: Shaokang, Wuding, King Xuan, Zhaoxuan, Guangwu, Yuanhe... and even Hongzhi.Unexpectedly, but fortunately, there is nothing more than the fact that this dynasty was able to rejuvenate for the second time.

The rejuvenation for the second time is the second dynasty of Longwan.It began with Gao Wenzhenggong, stored in Guo Wenzhen [Note: Guo Pu, the original posthumous name in history was Wenjian, in this book because of Gao’s pragmatic persistence, he was named Wenzhen], and derived from Zhang Wenzhong [Note: Zhang Siwei , the original posthumous posthumous title Wenyi in history, posthumous posthumous posthumous title Wenzhong in this book], exhibited in Shenyao Quangong [Note: Shen Shixing is still alive].But in my humble opinion, it will be prosperous in the future. "

Huh?
Gao Wushi was a little surprised: What kind of tricks has Shen always been up to? What purpose is he trying to achieve by throwing out the definition of the second ZTE in the Ming Dynasty?In the end, he deliberately flattered me, saying that the second ZTE would be the best for me. What's the purpose?Want to brag?

Moreover, he cited seven examples of ZTE in his remarks, but did not include all ZTEs in history. Is there any other purpose?

Gao Pragmatism thought about it quickly, especially the seven ZTE examples before the "Long Wan ZTE".

Shaokang Zhongxing is the first era named after the word "Zhongxing" in Chinese history.Shaokang's father, Si Xiang, was killed by the hostile Han Yun.Shaokang was a posthumous son, and by virtue of his personal charm, he got the help of the Youzheng and Youyu clans, and he was widely supported by the survivors of the Xiahou clan through his extensive administration of virtue.After careful planning, Shaokang used time, assassination and other means to defeat the strong with the weak, and finally defeated Han Zhuo and his son and rejuvenated the Xia Dynasty.

After Pan Geng moved the capital to Yin, the politics, economy, and culture of the Shang Dynasty made great progress, and finally reached its peak in the Wuding period.Wuding rejuvenated, and the national power was strong, so he continued to fight in all directions. With the continuous victory of the war, the power of the Shang Dynasty expanded rapidly in the west, north, east, and south, reaching the highest peak of the Shang Dynasty, known as "Wuding Zhongxing" in history.

After King Xuan of Zhou came to the throne, he eliminated the influence of King Li’s tyrannical politics, eased domestic and foreign instability, appointed Zhao Mugong, Zhou Dinggong, Yin Jifu and other ministers, and rectified the government. The prestige of the Zhou Dynasty revived the Zhou Dynasty, and the princes came back to the court again, which was called "Xuan Wang Zhongxing" in history. However, Xuan Wang Zhongxing did not last long.

During the reign of Emperor Zhaoxuan, he made great efforts to govern and continued to implement the policies since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.Emperor Zhaoxuan abolished some harsh laws, repeatedly reduced or exempted land rent, oral taxes and other taxes, reduced the burden of labor on farmers, restored and developed agricultural production, and implemented a series of economic measures, such as recruiting exiles and stabilizing people's livelihood, so as to restore social production. It has been restored and developed, and the previous policies have been continued in the development of agricultural production.

Liu Xiu won the world by killing Wang Mang, ruled the world by "judo", and took a series of measures to restore and develop social production and ease the social crisis since the end of the Western Han Dynasty.During his 33-year reign, Emperor Guangwu took a series of measures to restore and develop the economy, resulting in social stability, economic recovery, and population growth in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.Because Liu Xiu's posthumous title was Guangwu, this period is called Guangwu Zhongxing.

During the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, due to his ability to govern the country, the national politics once returned to the right track, which was regarded as the situation of ZTE.It got its name because Tang Xianzong used Yuanhe as his reign title during his reign.When Tang Xianzong was in power, in order to correct the weakening of the imperial court and the expansion of the power of the feudal towns, he increased the authority of the prime minister and quelled the rebellion in the feudal towns.

As for the Hongzhi Zhongxing of this dynasty, it was a short but brilliant "governing the world" that appeared under the governance of Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youtang.Xiaozong can be described as a benevolent monarch in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Because of his generous and benevolent political conduct, the Hongzhi Dynasty had political characteristics such as many gentlemen and harmonious relations between the monarch and his ministers, which brought a good reputation to this dynasty.During Xiaozong's reign, he "renewed the general government and opened up the way of speaking", which changed the situation of treacherous and sycophants since the Chenghua Dynasty.

However, after looking at the above seven ZTEs, Gao Yushi didn't find any complete consistency among them. In his opinion, Shen has always thrown out these seven ZTEs, and there should be something in common no matter what. , otherwise how to complete the step of "argumentation"?

Looking at it separately, Shaokang Zhongxing is to regain the ancestral foundation, and the way to complete it is to inspire the survivors of the old tribe with virtue, win aid, and finally get what they want by planning to kill the enemy leader;
Wuding Zhongxing relied on the accumulation of previous generations to conquer the Quartet, expand the territory, and lay down a large territory. In the final analysis, the biggest feature is the heyday of martial arts;
King Xuan Zhongxing is quite special.King Xuan himself learned the lessons of his father, King Li, selected talents and appointed talents, restored the prestige of the Zhou royal family, and then conquered the Western Yi, Huai Yi, and the Southern Kingdom... However, although Xuan Wang had outstanding military exploits in the early days, he defeated many Rongdi and expanded his territory. , It also increased the prestige of the Zhou royal family, but in the later period, it became more and more tired due to the consumption of national power.

For example, in the war against Shen Rong, Taiyuan Rong, Tiao Rong, and Ben Rong, only the battle against Shen Rong was victorious.When the Jiang Rong was conquered, the two sides fought in Qianmu, and King Xuan actually needed to call the "Southern Army" to join the battle.The result was also quite bad, as all the teachers of the Southern Kingdom were lost and they were defeated.

The Zhou royal family originally had heavy troops such as the Sixth Division of the West and the Eighth Division of Chengzhou, but they used the Southern Division in this war, and they were defeated in the end.

Zhaoxuan Zhongxing wants to mention a background board, that is, in the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, due to the long-term attack on the Huns and severe punishments, class conflicts became increasingly acute, and peasant uprisings continued.

In the case of public grievances, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued a round of crimes against himself, announcing: "The current task is to prohibit tyranny, stop abusive taxation, and strive for agriculture", which means reforming with the people, developing production, and resting with the people.After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan came to power successively, and the history of the Western Han Dynasty entered the Zhaoxuan period.

The ZTE achieved during the reign of Emperor Zhaoxuan can be regarded as Huo Guang’s ZTE to some extent...

Thinking of this, Gao Wushi was suddenly startled.

Huo Guang?

Fuck, Huo Guang?

Gao Wushi broke out in a cold sweat suddenly.Well, you Shen Yiguan, it turns out that the front is full of ambushes, and only this Zhaoxuan Zhongxing is the true meaning you want to express!

Do you mean that I want to be Huo Guang, or that I must become Huo Guang?

As a latecomer, Gao Yushi thinks that he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of Huo Guang, and in fact most of them are affirmative, but now... that's not the case!
The idiom "thorns on the back" is enough to make any emperor unwilling to affirm Huo Guang's achievements, but only think of Huo Guang's horror.

Who is it now?Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli.There is really a little story between him and Huo Guang - although it was in the previous life.

What is that little story?When Zhu Yijun was young, whenever there was something dishonest, Empress Dowager Li would take a book and hand it to him. Coincidentally, it was the same book every time: "The Biography of Huo Guang".

Who is Huo Guang?In the Ming Dynasty at that time, this Huo Guang could only be Zhang Juzheng.Therefore, whether Zhang Juzheng has a lot of problems as in the original history, or he is as clean as a high arch and hasn't added an acre of land in his hometown for decades, or even more exaggerated like Hai Rui who wants to grow vegetables at home , are useless.

His fate after death is bound to be bad, because in Zhu Yijun's eyes, this Mr. Zhang is Huo Guang.

What happened to Huo Guang?Did he do a bad job, did he betray the Han Dynasty?No, he has done a good job and is completely loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he will still be dissatisfied by all the emperors, guarded by all the emperors, and regarded by all the emperors as someone who should never appear in his court.

Why?There is probably only one biggest reason: he once abolished the emperor.

Abolish Li, no matter what your reason for abolishing Li is, as long as you do this, future emperors will definitely not have a good face when they mention you.

The reason is very simple, I am the emperor, and I have the ninety-five lord of Tianxian in my mouth. I am the only one who can decide the fate of other people in the world, and there should be no one who can decide my fate.You, Huo Guang, are just a courtier after all, why do you abolish the emperor?
However, what shocked Gao Wuzhen now was not because of this, but because he suddenly discovered that in the eyes of others, he might really be very similar to Huo Guang, even extremely similar!

The only thing that is close is that "Emperor Wu" is still there! ——

PS: The question of "Like Huo Guang" is very important and will affect almost all subsequent stories.So in the next chapter, I will compare Gao Yushi and Huo Guang.Such a chapter will definitely make some readers think that there are too many historical materials, so let me tell you in advance, if you don’t want to read it, please remember not to subscribe.

In addition, because the right shoulder hurt for some reason last night, there was a feeling of dislocation, so I didn't update it, so there will be a chapter in the early hours of tonight... or tomorrow morning, which can be regarded as a supplementary update.
