Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 427 The Upside-Down Storm ([-])
Gao Wushi rushed to the cabinet, originally intending to stabilize Sanbo Gao Gong's mood as before, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the cabinet, he heard from the Hanlin on duty that Mr. Gao Ge knew that he had been recruited, so he went back home without saying a word I went, and today it has been temporarily changed to Mr. Guo Ge writing the bill.

Gao Wushi was startled for a moment, but immediately felt relieved.According to the habits of the Ming Dynasty official circles, being recruited is of course going home, and he made a gesture of voluntarily suspending his job to wait for investigation, but generally speaking, it is not so urgent. He will leave on the day of being recruited, so since Gao Gong is so happy , indicating that he has already thought about this matter, and intends to follow Gao Yushi's previous suggestion.

Then it will be fine.

Gao Wushi thought about it, and thought that since he had already come, it would be better to pay a visit to the teacher, so he turned and walked towards Guo Pu's room.

After Yin Shidan resigned and Guo Pu entered the cabinet, Gao Gong played the Ming emperor and adjusted the division of labor in the cabinet again.

In the current cabinet, Gao Gong is in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishments. This is obviously for the purpose of eliminating the administration of officials, so there is no need to repeat them.

Guo Pu is now in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, but at the same time he can also intervene in some matters of the Ministry of War—because his main job now is the post station reform proposed by Gao Pragmatic Shangshu, which mainly involves the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War.

Zhang Juzheng was originally in charge of the Ministry of War, but now the power of the Ministry of War has been divided, so the Ministry of Industry has been added.

Now the Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty is very interesting. It has two assistant ministers to supervise, and a Shao Fu and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to preside over the affairs of the Ministry-the Minister of the Ministry of Officials here is not talking about Gao Gong, but Yang Bo.

It must be explained here that in Daming at this moment, there are two people with the title of "Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials" on their heads. One is Gao Gong. He has the title of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but he is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War.

This may sound strange, but there is a reason for it: the official secretary is actually the highest among the six, needless to say.As the true "party leader" of the Jin Party, Yang Bo's qualifications and status are highly respected, and he has been a minister of the Ministry of Officials before. Now he has not committed any crimes, so it is impossible to downgrade him.

At the same time, not long after Zhao Zhenji's reform of the Beijing battalion was implemented, the Minister of the Ministry of War became vacant, and Gu Zhongxu, the left servant who was acting as the minister, was ordered by the emperor to live idle in Beijing not long ago, so the Ministry of War completely lost its chief officer.This must not work, so Gao Gong invited Yang Bo, who was recuperating in Beijing, out to take charge of the Ministry of War in the name of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. [Wufeng's Note: Yang Bo was in charge of the Ministry of War as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Although it is deformed, it is indeed a historical fact. ]
Therefore, the current situation of the Ministry of War is the most complicated among the six departments: First, Zhang Juzheng has been in charge of the Ministry of War since he joined the cabinet. Not only is his power in the Ministry of War deeply entrenched, but there are also many generals in the outer towns who look up to him. Yang Boguo, a veteran of the Jin Dynasty, is also a core figure in the Jin Party, and he is in charge of the Ministry of War as the official minister. Fu, and because he is in charge of reforming the station, he must have enough influence on the Ministry of War. The emperor is also very concerned about this, so naturally he has to speak out in the Ministry of War.

It can be said that the Yamen of the Ministry of War is now regarded as a Romance of the Three Kingdoms-Zhang Juzheng is regarded as Cao Cao, and Yang Bo and Guo Pu are regarded as the Sun Liu Alliance because of their relationship with Gao Gong.

Of course, in this way, it can actually be said that Gao Gong also has a great influence on the Ministry of War.

When Gao Wushi came to see Guo Pu, Guo Pu was reading a memorial about the Ministry of War.

When he saw Gao Yushi, he was not surprised at all. He knew why Gao Yushi had come, but he didn't tell him about Gao Gong's enlistment. Instead, he said, "You came just in time. Zuo Shu, come and see."

Gao Wushi was a little surprised, because although Guo Pu is his teacher, he is a person who separates public and private matters. Even when discussing government affairs, he only talks to Gao Wushi about Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and others. Today An exception?
But Gao Yushi didn't ask too much, just took the memorial and read it.

This memorandum was written by Liang Wenmeng, who was given by the military department, and said: "The captives and chieftains have a lot of money, and people think that the border is safe. It is not a problem to think that the ministers will be in danger. Xuandashan Shangong City is due. , is that the civil servants follow the old formula, whitewashing Chinese words, the military officials use the excuse of paying tribute, and relax their minds to fight, the border people's caresses are not suitable, the training of the soldiers is not based on the truth, the castles have collapsed and have not been repaired, and the farms are desolate. The development has not yet been completed. When the barbarians are brought down, the hearts of laxity are gradually born; every time the ban on adultery is violated, even the departure and stay of the barbarians, the placement of the barbarians, the expansion and contraction of the rewards, and the late violation of the market period, All are considered.

"In Jizhen, the barbarians asked for rewards privately, and the soldiers deducted the monthly rations, and the southern soldiers doubled the rewards, while the northern soldiers increased their anger and lamented. If the Liaodong raids again, it will be the autumn of long victory and worry about the enemy; The trouble of attacking Guo with false ways can be considered deeply, but the border has been secured, and this minister has not solved it. I beg the civil and military officials on the nine frontiers to carefully study the scriptures and draw practical results."

Interesting... this Liang Zhangke It's very bold.

As we all know, Xuan Dashan Shaanxi University is mostly Gao Gong's direct descendant, and Ji Liao is Zhang Juzheng's man. How dare you criticize both factions at the same time?

Guo Pu saw that Gao Yushi was silent, and asked, "Do you know that Liang asked Meng Qiren?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Not very familiar."

"He is the gold list in the 44th year of Jiajing, and Su Qing is his teacher." Guo Pu paused, and then added calmly: "But his room teacher is Zhang Taiyue."

Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment, and thought: Is it so interesting?
However, if this is the case, then Liang Zhangke's actions seem to be more interesting.

Gao Wushi picked up the memorial again, looked at it carefully, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "This Liang Zhangke, it seems, is also my senior brother."

The "senior brother" here is discussed from Gao Gong's point of view. The implication is that this is our person.

Guo Pu remained calm and asked, "How can you see that?"

Gao Wushi smiled and played the melody: "Although he criticizes both ends and talks fairly, he actually still has some emphasis."

"Tell me."

"Teacher, you're taking another exam." Gao Wushi didn't mind, and said with a smile, "You see, what is he mainly talking about when he criticizes Xuanda Shanshan? It's about the laxness of the soldiers and the outflow of firearms, but he didn't refer to it specifically. Even if the matter is reported to the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty will at most issue a strict order, and no one will lose a piece of meat."

Guo Pu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What about Ji Liao?"

Gao Wushi laughed, waved his hands and said, "Qi Yuanjing, that unlucky bastard, has been tricked again."

"How to say?"

Gao Wushi put the memorabilia on Guo Pu's desk, pointed to one of the passages and read: "Teacher, look at this sentence: 'It's in Ji Town, and it's a barbarian's private claim for rewards, while the sergeant deducts the monthly rations, and the southern soldiers Doubly rewarded, and the northern soldiers feel sorry for the increased anger'—withholding the monthly rations of the northern soldiers and giving rewards to the southern soldiers. Anyone who hears this will think that it must be Qi Shuai who has acted unfairly? After all, the southern soldiers are all led by Qi Shuai go."

After Guo Pu listened, he looked at Gao Yushi meaningfully, and asked, "From your tone, it seems that Qi Jiguang has been wronged?"

Gao Wushi said seriously: "Teacher, as far as the students know, the salaries and rewards paid by the southern soldiers have always been higher than those of the northern soldiers, but this is not a recent phenomenon. It has been like this ever since Qi Shuai recruited soldiers alone."

"I know that." Guo Pu asked lightly: "What I'm concerned about is, is there any objection to the Northern soldiers?"

"It's hard to say, maybe there are." Gao Wushi is also a bachelor, and said directly: "But it's useless to refuse. The performance and record of the southern soldiers are indeed far better than the northern soldiers. The students don't know how the teacher thinks about this issue, but if the students In my humble opinion, if I lead troops, I would rather have [-] southern soldiers than [-] northern soldiers."

Guo Pu couldn't help smiling when he heard this: "You lead troops? Do you know how to lead troops?"

"Leading troops is naturally impossible." Gao Wushi was a little embarrassed, but immediately continued: "However, orders and prohibitions are the foundation of an army. It is always true that the southern soldiers are far better than the northern soldiers in this regard? Anyway? The students feel that it is better to lead an elite soldier who is capable of commanding rather than leading an army that cannot be commanded effectively."

"It's not so simple to think about the problem." Guo Pu reached out and clicked on the memorabilia, and said: "What if the army does not accept this kind of discrimination, and there is a military chaos? Then, who will be responsible?"

Gao Yushi didn't think at all that Qi Jiguang's subordinates could cause military chaos, but it's hard to say, after all, he looked at the problem as a descendant, and his trust in Qi Jiguang almost reached the level of blind faith, while Guo Pu, a civil servant at the time, But it doesn't seem that Qi Jiguang is so high-at least, it is absolutely impossible to have a sense of admiration.

Seeing that Gao Wushi had stopped talking, Guo Pu said quietly, "I'll tell you one thing: Liang Wenmeng originally regarded himself as a student of Zhang Taiyue."

Gao Wushi's expression changed suddenly, and he blurted out: "Oops!"

Guo Pu finally showed a wry smile and said, "Now you know where the trouble is?"

Gao Wushi slapped his thigh, and said anxiously: "Although his room teacher is Mr. Zhang Ge, but after all, his teacher is my third uncle, so he can vote for Mr. Zhang Ge, or my third uncle. No one can say that he Unfaithful to my teacher. Now that my third uncle and Zhang Ge are at odds, he probably thinks more about my third uncle, so he is in a hurry to change his career..."

Gao Wushi put his hand on his forehead, sighed and said: "The problem is that he has cheated Qi Jiguang like this, and outsiders must think that my third uncle ordered him to break Zhangge's arm! If only outsiders think so, it's fine, the key What would the emperor think! We just made up our minds to retreat and forced the emperor to take the initiative to suppress Mr. Zhang Ge, but we were disturbed by him... Sigh, this guy really picked a good time!"

　Hey, it became the Ku Klux Klan again...
