Am I similar to Huo Guang?
Gao Yushi didn't pay attention to this issue before, because he first had an inherent concept in his subconscious: Although Huo Guang is a minister of Gu Ming, his power lies first in that he is a general.

What was the position of the general of the Han Dynasty? "Han Guan Yi" contains: "Han Xing, put the general, and the prime minister." "Tong Kao" says: "The general governs the country internally, and the outside is dedicated to levying, and his power is far beyond the right of the prime minister."

To put it simply, the power of this position far exceeds that of the prime minister.

That being the case, what is the comparison between my high pragmatism and Huo Guangneng?Even if I became the chief assistant of the cabinet, it would be just a fake prime minister, not only without the name of a prime minister, but also without the reality of a prime minister—at least a prime minister can open a mansion, and the senior scholar of the first minister does not have this power.

Even the prime minister can't compare, how dare you touch a general who "has power far beyond the prime minister's right"?Can't compare, can't compare at all.

It is precisely because of the huge difference in the official system between the Western Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty that Gao Yushi never thought that he could be compared with Huo Guang in the eyes of others.

However, after being insinuated by Shen Yiguan just now, Huo Guang's life, deeds and other information flashed through Gao Yushi's mind. When he compared the two, he broke out in a cold sweat - they are so similar!
First of all, the origins are very similar.

What is Huo Guang's background?Simple statement: Huo Qubing's younger brother.

To be more specific, in 119 AD, Huo Qubing, who had just swept through Mobei and completed the seal of the wolf and Xuxu, left his hometown on the road and took away his half-brother.There is no doubt that his younger brother is Huo Guang.

Key point: There is someone in the court, and this person is extremely trusted by the emperor.That corresponds to Gao Yushi, he has the third uncle Gao Gong, who is also someone in the court, and this person is extremely trusted by the emperor.Is it similar?

Next, Huo Qubing loved his half-brother Xiao Huo Guang very much. He first placed him under his tent as a Lang Guan, and later he was promoted to be a servant of Zhu Cao, serving as a military adviser, and then he was recommended to do it at a young age. Emperor Wu's Fengche Duwei.

What does Captain Fengche do?When you go out, you will serve the chariot, and you will be on the left and right, responsible for protecting the safety of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.Of course, Huo Guang is only a teenager at the moment, and he can't even protect himself. Is it just a joke to protect Emperor Wu?

But that doesn't matter, because this position is essentially used to reserve cadres, which is similar to the fact that the children of meritorious officials and senior officials in the past dynasties often served as imperial guards.

Huo Qubing had obviously put a lot of thought into arranging this position for his younger brother.This official is a bit like a personal bodyguard and accompanying secretary. He has been trained by the leader all day long.

I have always said before that the principle of officialdom is that the people around the leader should be regarded as leaders, so the secretary and driver of the leader have always been "personal and serious", and they are fourth-rank officials under the prime minister's family!Moreover, once the leader thinks that you can do it, there is no need to say, and you will immediately have the opportunity to "exercise".

Is it similar to Gao Pragmatic?Of course it does, because although Gao Yushi is not the captain of Fengche, he is the prince's companion!

This prince's companionship is even better than that of Captain Fengche. After all, when Huo Guang served Emperor Wu as Captain Fengche, Emperor Wu was already a mature and experienced old emperor. Only he can change the people around him. possibility of changing him.And what about a time traveler who became the prince's companion?It is an exaggeration to say that he can shape the future emperor!

However, there is one thing that is special, that is, during Emperor Wu's reign, such VIP cronies were particularly prone to accidents, and few of them survived to the end smoothly.There is no other reason, the temperament of this great leader is a bit elusive, and the era they live in is a period of great change. No matter the court level or the social level, compared with China in the past, the difference is too great.

Obviously, no one has seen the series of reforms that Emperor Wu made for his great achievements, which laid the foundation for the ruling framework of later generations. Not organized.Emperor Wu's martial arts and the system established are more complicated than when Qin destroyed the six kingdoms.

A large number of changes affecting the whole body, a variety of dazzling economic policy reforms, and complex tests of people's livelihood are ubiquitous.In situations like this that no one has ever done or even seen, there are tons of mistakes waiting to be made.In addition, Emperor Wu has a bad temper, so if he hangs around with him, he may be finished if he is not careful.That's why in Emperor Wu's Shangshutai, a large number of officials will appear on stage like a revolving lantern.

Huo Guang, a teenager, has nothing but a strong brother as a backer, but he is in the decision-making circle of Emperor Wu every day, looking at the top talents in the world, what can Huo Guang do, what should he do? how?Of course, it is carefully observing and growing.

Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger, not to mention that this tiger is a special tiger.But something worse happened, Huo Guang's backstage had only been tough for two years.No one thought that Huo Qubing, who was the champion of the three armies, left so early.Emperor Wu was very sad, and put his tomb next to his own mausoleum, and built it into the shape of Qilian Mountain.Under the love of the house and the black, Emperor Wu couldn't help but have a high regard for his younger brother.

At the same time, the death of his brother made Huo Guang understand that he can only rely on himself now, he no longer has any capital to lie down and make mistakes, and while the emperor is still a little enthusiastic about his brother, he must speed up his growth.

In the center of this vortex full of changes, Huo Guang has explored an almost only feasible growth strategy: mechanical precision and caution.

Unlike previous emperors, Emperor Wu was surrounded by top talents, and ordinary people could not enter the inner circle at all.In order to stay in this circle, Huo Guang gradually evolved into a top-level secretary who is as calm as water, meticulous in his work, appropriate in speech, and well-mannered in his behavior.

How precise and cautious is Huo Guang? "Every time you enter and exit the gate of the lower hall, there is a place where you stop and go. The servant shoots and steals to see it, without losing size."

It means that every time he enters and exits the palace gate, goes up and down the palace steps, stops and walks, he has a fixed position, and every time he steps down, even the size is the same.

What's even more frightening is that this teenage child has been with Emperor Wu for the rest of his life. During the 30 years of getting along day and night, Huo Guang has never had a single thing that Emperor Wu criticized.

Huo Guang also set a record, that is, he became the No.1 player with super long standby time in Emperor Wu Dynasty.His prudence and ability finally moved Emperor Wu.In Huo Guang's life, he has never made unnecessary movements. Every move is cautious, effective, and restrained, basically all of them have meaning.

Are all of the above similar to high pragmatism?

To be cautious, any highly pragmatic move must be planned first, every detail must be considered in advance, and first of all, make sure that you will not cause "big accidents".At the same time, he never offends anyone on the bright side, even in the face of political opponents, he is gentle and smiling, except in the army, he is almost never seen with a frosty face and harsh words;

Speaking of being effective and restrained, Gao Pragmatism requires that every step of the self must be just right, and he can neither stand still, nor drag his feet if he takes too big a step.He promoted reforms in many ways, but he always pulled one faction against another, and never forced his opponents to death, always leaving a way to survive, lest others and him would be caught in a dead net.

Next, look at Tuogu.

Before making the final decision, Emperor Wu had already ordered someone to draw a picture of "Duke Zhou being the princes of the dynasty" and gave it to Huo Guang.

This picture has a lot of background. At that time, the Duke of Zhou replaced the young King Cheng. When King Cheng grew up, the Duke of Zhou returned to power.Huo Guang naturally understood what this meant. By doing this, Emperor Wu was revealing two things: first, I want to establish my youngest son, Liu Fuling;

However, although the meaning was clearly there, in the spring of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, when Emperor Wu was seriously ill in Wuzha Palace, Huo Guang still cried and asked Emperor Wu, if you really fail, who can inherit the rule?

Emperor Wu asked him, don't you understand the meaning of the painting I gave you earlier?Li Shaozi, you do the work of Duke Zhou.

Of course, Huo Guang understood the meaning of the picture given by Emperor Wu, but he understood better: political prestige must be said by the "first emperor" himself to be most effective, because it is "the last emperor's will" and is naturally politically correct.

And Huo Guang knew that this was also Emperor Wu's last temptation.Probing what?Just to see your Huo Guang's reaction after seeing this painting.

If Huo Guang considers himself "I'm not a relative, I'm a photographer", he waved his hand: "Just go, little guy, I'll take care of you!"That's not to say, Emperor Wu will definitely raise up the last remaining survivors, take Huo Guang underground and continue to work as his secretary.

At the same time, when Huo Guang gave the legality himself by Emperor Wu, he squeezed out his biggest competitor, Jin Rizhu, by cutting and beating.

At that time, Huo Guang stepped aside and said: "The minister is not as good as Jin Ri."

After Huo Guang handed over these words, Jin Rizhu who was next to him was forced to helplessly, and immediately revealed his political shortcomings: "It is better to be a foreigner than Guang."

Everyone is a master, and they are all top-notch smart people.He, Jin Ritan, was the prince of the Xiutu tribe of the Huns who was conquered by Huo Guang and his brother back then. It is very legendary that he became the favorite minister of Emperor Wu. How can he not have a few brushes?He said this because he had already felt Huo Guang's intentions, and judged that Emperor Wu must be more inclined to Huo Guang than him.

Now let's compare Gao Yushi, what did Long Qing do before his death?

First, he arranged for Empress Chen's dark move, and then cleverly followed the prince Zhu Yijun to Longqing to meet the emperor for the last time.

Because he appeared in front of the dying emperor at the right time, he really waited until the emperor himself said the words: "...before he took office, you should accompany him to study. You should not only accompany him well, but also supervise him. It’s like speaking for him when the officials didn’t explain the truth before.”

This passage directly established the special status that Gao Yushi can still stay in front of the new emperor. Even though the Empress Dowager Li once deliberately transferred him away, she had to swallow it back because of the late emperor's death.

This is not over yet, just before Long Qing died, Empress Chen, who had arranged a dark chess game arranged by Gao Yushi, asked directly at the most critical moment: "Your Majesty, if there is a problem in the country that is difficult to resolve before Jun'er takes power in the future, are my sisters right?" Knowing things, but what should I do?"

Therefore, Emperor Longqing made the last and most critical political endorsement without hesitation: "Anything difficult to resolve, just ask Mr. Gao."

On the other hand, Huang Mengyu, an auxiliary dark chess game, quietly reminded Meng Chong, who was in charge of the official supervisor at the time, so Meng Chong came forward to crucify the legitimacy of this sentence.At that time, he immediately took a step forward and said loudly: "Sacred decree: before the new king takes charge, Mr. Yuanfu Gao will decide the political affairs on his behalf."

Look, Gao Yushi's method at that time was almost exactly the same as that of Huo Guang before the death of Emperor Wu?First of all, to ensure the legitimacy of one's own side, and at the same time establish the position of "chief Gu Ming, acting as the monarch", then it also suppresses the authority of other people who are also Gu Ming ministers.

Next, after the death of Emperor Wu, Huo Guang became the helmsman of the empire by worshiping the great general Sima as the leader of the book. Assist the government.

This order is very particular, a bunch of generals came to the front.At this time, the prime minister has already ranked fourth, why?Because the first three are all record ministers.

The issue of official positions in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is too complicated to talk about, so I will not mention it here for the time being.In short, at this time, Huo Guang's Great General, General Sima, was in charge of Shang Shushi, which was equivalent to seizing the military power and political power of the entire Han Empire.

To be precise, the power in his hands is greater than that of Liu Bang and Empress Lu back then!Because he is the two in one of imperial power and prime minister power!From that moment on, although he didn't have the title of emperor, he was already fulfilling his role as emperor.

In contrast, Gao Yushi at that time was of course far from having such power, but although he didn't have it, Gao Gong did!
In terms of imperial power, Gao Gong is the chief Gu Ming, and the first emperor ordered that "anything difficult to resolve, just ask Mr. Gao"; in terms of prime minister power, he himself is the chief assistant, and he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, directly managing personnel affairs.Considering that at that time Gao Gong had already lifted the sea ban, engaged in private military industry, and was trying his best to implement a whipping law in economically developed areas, the financial power was actually in his hands.

Is the imperial power and the power of prime minister similar again?
So, is it over here?of course not.

At this time, although Huo Guang suddenly became the regent Zhou Gong, he was facing a problem at this time: he had no political prestige.

In the past 30 years, he was just a small secretary beside Emperor Wu. He did not have any specific government affairs or military exploits. Now that the leader has passed away, he entrusted the company to the secretary. There are many people who are dissatisfied.

Emperor Wu has let the imperial power dominate for 50 years, and all other forces have been blasted into scum by him.In those days, no one could provoke him, and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Now that it’s finally a new era, why did you finally let a little secretary cut you off?It's against you!

Among these opposition groups were Emperor Wu's son, as well as ministers who supported the government. They covered a wide range of subjects, but they were all easily taken down by Huo Guang in the end.The reason why it is easy is because the level of this group of people is too far behind Huo Guangbi who has cultivated a golden body in 30 years, but the space is limited, so I won't explain them here.

In short, Huo Guang actually did one thing during his 20 years in power, and of course he did this extremely difficult thing: wipe Emperor Wu's ass.

He pacified the people all over the world who were on the verge of riots, and he suppressed and calmed border troubles everywhere.Many arsenals that were about to explode were extinguished by him, and the Han Empire, which was about to explode, survived the crisis safely.Of course, he also gave Emperor Wu a face again from the side. The person the emperor entrusted has really strong vision.

Similarly, under Gao Gong's overt and covert operations, the biggest crisis around Gao Gong, the Zhang Juzheng-Feng Bao Group was "easily" taken down, and at the same time Zhang Juzheng had a good death, and before he died, he confessed to the Zhang family's sons in the future. Don't fight against high pragmatism.

The position of chief assistant of Daming also remained in the hands of Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei, both of the real school. If Zhang Siwei hadn't escaped the "fate" of Ding You suddenly, it would be hard to say whether Shen Shixing would be able to be the chief assistant.

And Gao Yushi also through his own efforts, first obtained the top admission ticket to the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty with a score of six yuan in a row, and then established enough merits and prestige in the court and army through various martial arts and martial arts in the process of becoming an official, Successfully took over the political legacy left by the three generations of Shoufu.

At the same time, he also attacked political opponents in a restrained manner, eliminating the biggest political threat before and the emerging threat one by one.Up to now, even the latest and last threat, Shen Yiguan, has actually been cornered by him.

With Shen Yiguan's self-defense, and Wang Jiaping and Liang Menglong's resignation coming soon, Gao Yushi has already stepped on the threshold of Huo Guang's power and prestige, and is only one step away...
