Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 819 Who Convinces Who (3 More Breakthroughs)
Ma Jin panicked a lot, Zheng Luo and Jia Yingyuan were not much better.

To know the strength comparison that Ma Jin can analyze, the two border ministers have worked in Shanxi for many years, how could they not know?So they also feel that the proposition of high pragmatism is dangerous.

It is very dangerous. It does not mean that you cannot succeed, nor does it mean that you will not gain much after success, but it means that the probability of success is not high, and the problems after failure are very serious.

As border ministers, especially those of the Ming Dynasty, they generally have nothing to do with opening up borders and expanding land, but they must be responsible for guarding the land.

In other words, even if the high-practical plan is successful, the great achievements in it undoubtedly belong to high-practical, analogous to the saying that praised Cao Zhi, that is, "these achievements are all one stone, and high-level pursuit of truth monopolizes eight buckets."

Their group of frontier ministers, and even the frontier generals and army, don't know if they can take the remaining two battles together—because the elders of the court must also get a part of the "strategy".

The above, for them, is called little benefit.

But the small profit is still a small problem. The big problem is that if it fails, the responsibility will be great!

Just imagine, if Han Naji and Zhong Jinhatun fail, regardless of whether Gao Yushi is dead or not, even if he is not dead, Han Naji and Zhong Jinhatun, the two advocates of the Mingmeng mutual market, will lose their status. How to do?
Because of the failure of the canonization, Daming must stop the mutual market even for the sake of face-Daming is this kind of conduct, that's for sure.

This trade market is the key to Mingmeng peace. Once it stops, can Xin Ai bear the gains and losses?He couldn't bear it, and Daming couldn't let it go, so what's the result?Definitely can only fight.

Peace does not come easily.As soon as the fight broke out, the good situation of Xuanda Shanxi in the past ten years would be gone immediately!So many good fields that were opened up will be gone, and the people who lost their land will become refugees again, and they will cause chaos in the local area and disasters for the court... This is all trouble!
What's more, there is something more important: when there is no war, even if the ministers of the frontier do nothing, at least they will not show any merit. Everyone, An Ansheng, has been in the position for a few years. It is time to be promoted, and it is time to raise the rank. Hello, everyone. Well, isn't it beautiful?Why fight those poor Mongolians to death!
Enter your mother, the Mongols can plunder when they fight, gold, silver, cloth, food and population, everything is a harvest.But even if the Han army wins, what else can they gain besides a few heads?If you grab dozens of horses and hundreds of cattle and sheep, how dare you talk about the harvest?Damn, just open a market and earn back ten times, okay?Are you illiterate when you are an official?
Besides, what if the responsibility of guarding the land is lost?When the time comes for the court to investigate, of course only military generals will die, but civil servants will also lose their positions!

Therefore, it is more likely that this account will be a loss.

Zheng Luo, as the governor of Xuanda and promoted by Wang Chonggu, is one of the core figures of the Jin Party. With the support of Zhang Siwei's letter, he couldn't say anything too pessimistic for a while, so he kept silent, frowning, with a bitter expression. Looks like he's thinking hard.

Jia Yingyuan is different. Before he became the governor of Datong, he was the deputy envoy of Shanxi. His entire tenure in Shanxi was not long or short. After being promoted to deputy envoy of Shanxi, he joined the Jin Party.

In other words, he is not a die-hard Jin Party like Zheng Luo, and to some extent, he had to join the Jin Party because he was an official in Shanxi.

Moreover, Jia Yingyuan is relatively good at internal affairs rather than military affairs.He managed a brick and tile factory in his early years, served as the prefect of Jinan and Yangzhou, and he was known for his shrewd internal affairs.

After arriving in Shanxi, he served as a military officer (a deputy envoy is usually also a military officer), and his official position was "rectification of Leping Guan Fanzhi Wutai Yanmenguan Tuntian Deputy Envoy". It can be seen from the map that Yanmenguan was at this time It is not the first-line defense zone, but the "second-line Great Wall". In addition, I have already completed the tribute payment for several years at this time, so the defense of Yanmen Pass is actually mainly about repairing the city wall, and besides repairing the city wall, his real main task is, In fact, it is Tuntian.

Civil officials who are good at internal affairs and are proficient in internal affairs, except for time travelers such as Gao Yushi, are basically not very happy about the actions that may lead to wars, because once a war starts, for them, they will change from insiders to outsiders. , can easily lead to mistakes, and Jia Yingyuan is certainly no exception.

Therefore, now that Liu Ping is calm, Ma Jin dare not speak, and Zheng Luo is silent, Jia Yingyuan can only cough lightly and say: "Gao Shizhong, it would be great if this matter can be accomplished, but it seems that there are uncertainties in it." There are too many factors, do we still need to think about it in the long run?"

The word "long-term plan" is very good, and it is very euphemistic, but everyone is not a newcomer to the officialdom, and everyone can recognize that this is a synonym for "reconsideration".

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Mr. Chunyu (Jia Yingyuan's name is Chunyu), may I ask you, which aspects do you think are the most uncertain?"

As soon as Jia Yingyuan heard it, he knew that Gao Yushi was unwilling to give up, but he couldn't just give in to such a major event, even if he knew the potential behind Gao Yushi was so powerful, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Well, the most important thing is naturally It's about whether Hanaji can compete with Xin Ai."

Jia Yingyuan frowned and said: "It's certain that Han Naji's heart is towards Daming, but he is not a veteran in the army after all, and he is the grandson of I Da, Yu Li, he may not be stronger than Xin Ai; Yu Shi, and he has no righteous reputation. In this way, even if Zhong Jinhatun is married to help, I am afraid that he may not be Xin Ai's opponent. If he loses, how will it end then?"

Gao Wushi said: "Da Ming? There are two things that can ensure righteousness: First, since I was canonized by Da Ming, who will be the king of Shunyi? Is it not my Da Ming who has the final say, but they themselves? Since I went to Tumot with the edict of the emperor, the edict of the emperor is righteousness!"

"Secondly, the Mongolian side is now the head of the Yellow Sect. I answer that I died in the Dazhao Temple. His khan name was also given by the leader of the Yellow Sect and him... So, I only need to persuade the Yellow Sect to make Zan Kela The Khan title of Valdi Chechen Khan was conferred on Bahanaji, isn't this righteous title settled?"

Jia Yingyuan couldn't refute these two items. He certainly didn't dare to say that the emperor's edict was useless, and he also knew the influence of Daming on the Yellow Sect, so he had no choice but to turn the topic back and said, "Then what about the battle situation? Mongol Zidayan After Khan, it has always been the eldest son's succession, just like my Ming Dynasty. Now that I Da died, Xin Ai should naturally inherit his title. This involves not only the righteousness in our eyes, but also the Mongolian tradition. In addition, that Chataiji has always been Alta's loyal dog, if he thinks that after Alta's death, Da Khan should be Xin'ai...

Gao Shizhong had also dealt with Chataiji before, so he should know this person's temperament, and what he believes is not easy to change.And with his prestige, once he helps Xin Ai, the power balance will be even worse. "

Gao Wushi said indifferently: "It's not difficult to convince Chataiji."

Now not only Jia Yingyuan was surprised, but Zheng Luo, Liu Ping and Ma Jin were also surprised. They looked at Gao Yushi and waited for his explanation.

Gao Wushi said: "First of all, I Da did not leave any will or testament. At that time, Chataiji himself was not in Dazhao Temple. The only people who waited on me were Zhong Jinhatun."

Jia Yingyuan wondered, "Then what?"

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "Zhong Jinhatun still has all kinds of seals, gold orders and other things from I Da, that is to say...it is easy for her to make a will."

Jia Yingyuan was stunned for a while, and said: "This... is equivalent to a false edict."

"Correction?" Gao Wushi laughed: "Why is it a correction? I said that Khan had something to say before he died, and he could only tell Zhong Jinhatun. Zhong Jinhatun said he said it, and he said it. If he didn’t say it, he didn’t say it. Besides, after Ida’s death and before Xinhan’s election, she was the regent, so who would dare to question her false edict?”

"Besides, I'm not satisfied with the primogeniture system in the first place—of course, I may not be very dissatisfied with his eldest son, but that's for people, not for things. For things, it's that I hope to be virtuous, but Not Lichang. Regardless of whether the idea itself is right or wrong, it is Ida's idea after all. From Lixian's point of view, Ida's favorite son and grandson must be Ba Hannaji, is that okay? So, Liba Han Naji is a profuse sweat, it may be the original intention of my answer, why did you pretend to be an edict?"

You are making too much sense!
Jia Yingyuan said angrily in his heart, but now it's a discussion, swearing is definitely not acceptable, besides, everyone's starting point as a whole is to be good to Daming, even if he is highly pragmatic and "does nothing", he, Jia Futai, can't say he is wrong.

Therefore, Jia Yingyuan turned the question back and asked again: "In this way, can Chataiji not help Xin Ai, but turn to Bahanaji?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Maybe, maybe not, so to be safe, I need to meet Chataiji in person and talk to him face to face."
