Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 43: Discussion in the Flower Hall ([-])
In fact, whether it is worthwhile depends on who it is for. It is like an ordinary person in the future who spends 100 million to buy himself a day of happiness.

From Tu Menggui's point of view, he is actually not afraid of honorable military officials.With his status as a member of the official department, even if he is a figure on the top of the honorary officials such as Duke Cheng Zhu Xizhong and British Duke Zhang Rong, he is not at all afraid, not to mention anything else, just say that if the other party dares to put on airs to him, he will He even dared to spray on the spot.

Speaking of which, the honorable military officials are really used to being bullied by civil servants over the years, and his status as an official has the responsibility of supervising officials. Of course, he is not afraid of a certain or a certain honorable military officials.However, that only refers to a certain person or a certain family. If he really offends the entire honorable military officials collectively, then he is not a seventh-rank official. Xi Xungui joined forces to redress his grievances, begging His Majesty to uphold justice, let alone a mere one in the matter, even if it is a Shangshu, I am afraid it is enough.

Will the Prime Minister Jingying Rongzheng change from military ministers to civil servants will offend the entire military ministers and nobles?It's hard to say, because the restructuring of the Beijing camp is carried out every now and then, and it's not accurate to change it back and forth, and both Zhu Xizhong and Zhang Rong have expressed their support for the first time.Not only the two of them expressed their views, but the two of them also joined a large group of military officials to go to the shuffle together, and said a lot of reasons, but the meaning expressed was simple: Wenchen Prime Minister Jingying Rongzheng is better than Wuchen Prime Minister Jingying Rongzheng, good More than a hundred times.

But expressing their opinion means they have no opinion?
What a joke, unless their brains are completely broken!

But why they still put up with it?Because whether the prime minister is a civil servant or a military minister will definitely affect their interests to a certain extent, but it has not touched their culprit. After all, no matter whether you divide it into three battalions, five battalions, or twelve regiment battalions, anyway, it is a legitimate army It must be a military official—then there is no problem, because the blood of soldiers can still be drunk, at most they can redistribute it internally, which they can handle.As for the fact that there is an extra direct supervisor on the top of the head in theory, it is not worth mentioning at all: you think you are the prime minister, and you can really manage the Beijing camp?Innocent!The military households in the Beijing camp are all under the names of noble military officials. You, the prime minister, don't even have a military household under the name of the Jingying Rongzheng. Your prime minister is a big-headed ghost?They have ten thousand ways to let you talk for nothing and control the white tube!
But no matter how you say it, the Wuchen Xungui Group will never be happy about this situation. What is so great is that there is no need to confront the Civil Service Group over this crap.

But if this matter is really done, their perception of Zhao Zhenji will still only get worse, which can't be wrong.Naturally, they can't be dragged out to fight wars now, but in the face of this kind of system change that changes the soup without changing the medicine, they will definitely not be able to run away if they are obedient and obedient. If they can find the right opportunity to give Zhao Zhenji a shot, they will never be soft .

So Zhao Zhenji really can only get a good name for doing this - in terms of civil servants.And from a practical point of view, this kind of good name really doesn't mean much.

Gao Wushi then said: "Judging from the current situation of the cabinet and Mr. Zhao Ge's usual behavior, I don't think he will take the nobles' perception of him to heart."

As soon as these words came out, the nine Gao Gong disciples had to look at him differently: This little guy not only knows the situation in the cabinet, but also can analyze Zhao Zhenji's attitude in dealing with things based on Zhao Zhenji's character?It seems that it should not be underestimated.

In the current cabinet, the chief assistant Li Chunfang has always been a good old man with no courage, and he knows that he can't compare with Gao Gong in the emperor's mind, not even in seniority. Basically, when the cabinet discusses matters, he sees who has the loudest voice No matter who it is, Baiguan hardly takes this chief assistant seriously. Now he even feels that this chief assistant is doing a boring job.

Of course, Chen Yiqin knew that he was no match for Gao Gong, but he had a bit more stance than Li Chunfang, and he still had an attitude when it came to the things he should take care of. I am not in the state of a prisoner.And Gao Gongnian was still polite to him because they were both colleagues of Yu Mansion.

Zhang Juzheng has a more obvious tendentious attitude. At least he seems to be basically on Gao Gong's side now. Of course, this does not rule out that he and Gao Gong are easy to get together because of their close political ideas after all, nor does it rule out that He has the intention of building the plank road and crossing Chencang secretly.In short, Zhang Juzheng's attitude is taken for granted in Gao Gong's view, but in Gao Yushi's view, he needs to be vigilant.

Gao Gong's mentality is easy to understand. He and Zhang Juzheng were in the Imperial Academy at the beginning, and later in the Taixue, and then joined the cabinet as ministers. , if they are one and inseparable, they are like-minded friends or even allies.

This is of course also a fact. When Gao Gong entered the Hanlin, he wrote "Fengzhao Reading Hanlin Shuhuai". He disdained to study poetry skills and imitate ancient dogmas, but wanted to study the national laws and regulations and improve the ability to deal with political affairs. It bears the important task of "assisting morality and government, and bringing order to the world".

When Zhang Juzheng was in Hanlin, his purpose was also to study national laws and regulations, and to study current affairs and politics.At that time, "Jinshi often talked about poetry and ancient prose, and they used Xijing and Kaiyuan to forge, but Juzhengdu was disdainful. There are many people who silently seek national allusions and government affairs."

When Gao and Zhang were in Guozijian, Gao Gong was the sacrificial wine, and Zhang Juzheng was the secretary.Zhang Juzheng once said: "Pursuing only the past, I hope that Xiao Cao will Bing Wei." Gao Gong also wrote "Xiao Cao Wei Bing Xiangye Review" for this purpose.Its purpose is to follow the example of the famous prime ministers of the Western Han Dynasty Xiao He, Cao Can, Wei Xiang, and Bingji, and work together to revitalize the government.This shows that they share their political aspirations.

Shen Li, who was present today and was a university scholar in the Wanli period in the original history, also said: "Gong (Zhang Juzheng) and Xinzheng were both in the government at that time. At the beginning of their plan to cut off the relationship, the heroes pretended to be Bing, Wei, Fang, Du, I'm not willing to give way too much."

After Gao Gong was dismissed from office, when recalling their working experience, he also said: "When Jingren was editing, he was young and smart, and he studied hard. He learned a lot from him, and I love him. He pays special respect to him. For a long day, you are between teachers and friends, and you will talk and analyze the principles of the day, discuss and rule the way, until you forget your body. I will try to make an appointment with each other, and if I can use it in the future, I will be a king and father to form the law together.”

And also after Gao Gong was dismissed from office, Zhang Juzheng had taken power alone, but he also said many times that they were "incense and fire alliance" and "friends of life and death".

Although Gao Gong's words sounded like an old man, Zhang Juzheng respected him every time Gao Gong was mentioned in his letters, even after their relationship broke down.In fact, Gao Gong was 13 years older than Zhang Juzheng. When they first entered the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Juzheng was only in his twenties, while Gao Gong was already in his 40s and [-]s.It should not be an empty talk to say that it is 'between teachers and friends', or that it is 'self-introduction to Xuan Lao, how much knowledge and insight I have gained'.It can be seen from this that before Gao and Zhang became political opponents, they were indeed like-minded couples, with their political ambition and friendship as teachers and friends.

So Gao Gong didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Juzheng, and his mentality was exactly a trouble for Gao Yushi right now.

Because Gao Wushi knew the history and Zhang Juzheng’s method of killing Gao Gong—of course, the death of Yin did not mean to kill him, but ended his political life.

Political struggles are not something that can be easily resolved by friends and personal friendship. What's more, is a person like Zhang Juzheng really willing to be under the aegis all the time?There is a good saying, "Since Shengyu, He Shengliang" ah!

Of course, at least for now they are clearly allies.

After such a calculation, Zhao Zhenji is the only one in the cabinet who is really in the position of advocating the enemy.

When Gao Wushi was thinking about the connection in his mind, Han Ji said: "The student agrees with the first possibility that Zhao Ge's negligence said by the younger brother, and his move does have the intention of showing favor to the Chinese officials in Beijing. As for Brother Yuehua (Wufeng Note: Tu Menggui withdrew from the stage of history prematurely in the real history, and the inscription is really impossible to find. His inscription here is based on the word "Gui", so there is no need to be more serious. ), the students also think that Just now, what Junior Brother Cai said is reasonable... It's not that Mr. Zhao Ge is unable to distinguish between the gains and losses, but he is not worried about what the honorable military officials can do to him. But the student has to add one thing: Mr. Zhao Ge is probably right to show favor to the civil servants. A temptation from the master."

"Testing?" Song Zhihan pondered for a moment, and then said, "Master, the students also thought that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but the students always feel that there is another possibility: Could it be that Xu Huating was disturbed by Haigang Peak in Songjiang?" Can't stand it, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate that Mr. Zhao Ge is currently in charge of has been too domineering some time ago, so Xu Huating instructed Mr. Zhao Ge to ease the relationship with the Chinese officials in Beijing, and then make it easier for his disciples and old officials in Beijing. Stand up and share the pressure for him?"

After he said this, Gao Gong laughed: "I think Yuan Qing's words are on point." He paused slightly, showing a strange smile: "Today, our department received a letter from Xu Huating. Personally handwritten letter, sincere words... begging me to let him go."
