Gao Pragmatic thought of this possibility, which made Huo Ran find himself in a very dangerous position.

At this moment, with the emergence of the method of "worshipping the mother" proposed by Wang Xijue, if Emperor Zheng's concubine reacts, she can also try to make Zhu Changxun worship the queen as her mother according to this principle.

But there is a premise in this matter, that is, the matter of "worshipping the mother" must be approved by enough courtiers before it can achieve the desired effect. However, Zhu Changxun will definitely not be able to obtain the support of the Heart School, so the only object that Emperor Zheng and Concubine can win over is the Shi School.

Wooing the real school, in the eyes of Emperor Zheng Guifei, it will definitely not be to win over the Xu Guo family. The reason for this is not only the current dominance of high pragmatism, but also the age of Xu Guo.

To put it simply, when Xu Guo was a regular official, Zhu Changxun was not even an adult.

Zhu Yijun has no major physical problems except for "foot disease", unlike his Emperor Kao Muzong, whose body is so weak that anyone can see it. And as Zhu Yijun's most favored concubine, she also knew that the emperor was still relatively restrained on the whole - probably learned the lesson of Mu Zong.

In this way, until Xu Guozhishi, Zhu Changxun will not be able to become the son of heaven, and when Xu Guo retires, who can he expect his mother and son to go to the outer court?

If you can't find Xu Guo, you can only find Gao Pragmatic. Although Emperor Zheng's concubine had never seen Gao Shishi, she knew that Gao Shishi was the same age as the emperor, and it was rumored that he was very good at equestrianism.

Riding a horse is no better than riding a motorcycle in later generations, this thing seems to be majestic, but in fact it is not easy, and those who are not good at equestrian skills may be more tired than walking. And those who can ride horses all year round will not be in bad health.

In this way, at least the pragmatic career will not die due to physical reasons, so once he is willing to support Chang Xun, there is a high probability that he can take care of Chang Xun until he is at the extreme.

And the current momentum of Gao Pragmatism, he was already in the cabinet at that time, if the process is long enough, and even has already been the first assistant, so this advantage is naturally self-evident.

Since winning over Gao Pragmatic has become the first option, Emperor Zheng and Concubine Zheng only need to consider the means of wooing. Judging from Liu Xin's analysis just now, the first person that Emperor Zheng Guifei wants to use must be the emperor, as long as she finds a way to let the emperor talk to Gao Pragmatic about this matter, or make this request unmistakable, it is difficult for Gao Pragmatic to refuse.

Why is it so hard to refuse when you could say no before?

Because no one thought of "worshipping the mother" before, Gao pragmatic could refuse with the reason of adhering to the Confucian tradition, saying that he insisted on waiting for the queen to give birth to a son-in-law. The emperor could not object, and was not even likely to object, to this statement, because he also had deep feelings for the empress.

However, it is different now, now Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun can "worship their mothers", at this time, if you ask the emperor who he wants to worship, do you still need to ask the answer? It must be Chang Xun.

Whoever worships is the same, and the emperor asks Gao Pragmatic to mention it, and Gao Pragmatic is obviously not easy to object.

The trouble is that Gao Pragmatism doesn't want to do that. Whether it's Zhu Changluo or Zhu Changxun, Gao Pragmatic looks down on their performance in history.

Later generations talked about Zhu Changluo, that is, the Taichang Emperor of the Ming Guangzong in history, although he bluntly said that he was indulged in wine and indulged in lewd pleasures, so that he became a "January Son of Heaven", and even made a ridiculous and sad story of the "Red Pill Case", but he still gave praise to his short-term governance, saying that he "abolished the mining tax of the Wanli Dynasty, set things right, and revitalized the discipline." ”

However, it is a pity that in Gao Pragmatic's view, the performance of this emperor shows that he will not be an emperor at all.

Originally, after the fiasco in the Battle of Salhu, Zhu Yijun had realized that the trouble on the northeast border was not small, and began to actively mobilize manpower, material and financial resources to prepare for revenge, but the sudden death of the queen made his spirit collapse, and he died a month later.

Under such circumstances, if Zhu Changluo was a smart emperor, he should know that he was actually under a lot of pressure, and the rise and fall of the country was on his shoulders. Moreover, as long as he can avenge Sarhu's great revenge, his authority can also be established.

But the key to successful revenge is to have money in hand. Only with money can you fight, which has long been proven in the three major expeditions of Wanli. If it weren't for Zhu Yijun smashing a lot of money into it, the three major expeditions in the original history might not be able to win a single one!

But where does the money come from? The big one is the mining tax.

The mining tax is not "as the name suggests", it is actually a commercial tax, but it is different from the commercial tax that Gao Pragmatic is going to engage in now - Gao Pragmatic collects commercial tax to collect money into the household, and Zhu Yijun's mining tax is collected through the mining tax eunuchs.

In the original history, Zhu Yijun's annual collection of mining taxes is actually not much, but the trouble is not small, the main reason is that there is no system for "collecting mining tax" at all, and the mining tax eunuchs have taken the opportunity to get power and greedy for ink, so the opposition of the people is very large.

However, the so-called civil opposition is actually more than half of the big businessmen, and at the same time, the spokesmen of the big businessmen have constantly attacked the mining tax, and have been asking Zhu Yijun to cancel the mining tax for decades, but Zhu Yijun has always insisted on refusing to give up.

On the whole, the existence of the mining tax is a double-edged sword, which ensures that when the country "goes into trouble", the emperor can take out the silver to support the war, which leads to sharp opposition from the people and the court.

As the new emperor of the Son of Heaven, it is not that the mining tax cannot be abolished as a means of compromise with the hundred officials, and strive to temporarily calm the struggle between the imperial power and the civilian bureaucracy.

The problem is that the abolition of the mining tax also depends on the timing, at this time, Liaodong is about to be completely eroded, and you still give up the most reliable financial power in your hand, which is ...... What kind of god is it?

Its wisdom is probably similar to that of Chongzhen's self-abandoned factory guard.

It can be seen that Zhu Changluo's level is completely unreliable, and he is eight streets worse than his father Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Changluo is unreliable, and Zhu Changxun is also unreliable.

I don't say anything about the rot that happened in the country-based dispute in advance, but only say that after he was named the blessed king and the country of Luoyang. This highness is tyrannical, invades the fishermen, and does everything possible to loot money, except for not having the courage to rebel, basically doing bad things.

At that time, Zhu Yijun had a cold war with his ministers, and countless performances were sent into the palace like mud cows into the sea. Zhu Yijun ignored most of the recitals on the ministers, except for the recitals of the Fuwangfu, which were submitted in the morning, and basically there would be a reply in the afternoon, and his requests were all allowed.

With such convenience, traitors and outlaws from all over the world naturally flocked to it and gathered under Zhu Changxun's door. After Emperor Tianqi and even later Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, King Fu was a member of the imperial family and the closest vassal country in the bloodline, so he was also very respectful.

However, how did His Royal Highness King Fu, who has such a revered status, behave?

This prince, who is rumored to weigh more than 300 catties, has been drunk and dreamed of death all his life, and he drinks wine all day long. When the thieves were rampant, Henan was plagued by drought and locusts for many years, and the people were easy to eat, but King Fu ignored it and still collected taxes, and it was difficult to make even the most basic relief.

At that time, the Quartet conscription team traveled through Luoyang, and the soldiers said angrily: "Luoyang is rich in the palace, and Shenzong consumes the wealth of the world to fatten the king, but now we are allowed to fight on an empty stomach and kill the thief, how unfair!" ”

At that time, Lu Weiqi, the former secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, who was retired at home, entered the palace many times to persuade King Fu, telling him that even if he only planned for himself, he should open the treasury and take out some money to help the people. However, King Fu's reaction is recorded in the history books very simply: "I didn't listen".

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, on the nineteenth day of the first month, Li Zicheng led his army to capture Luoyang. King Fu and his female dependents hid in the secluded Ying'en Temple in the suburbs, still wanting to live. His son Zhu Yousong was fast-paced, fled from the city, and was later established as the "Hongguang Emperor" of the Southern Ming Dynasty by the Ming Dynasty.

He ran away, but King Fu, who was seriously overweight and had difficulty walking, could not escape, and was soon arrested by Li Zicheng's army and escorted back to the city.

Halfway through, I met Lu Weiqi, the former secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, who was executed. Lu Laoshangshu encouraged: "The name is very heavy, the prince must not be humiliated!" After speaking, Lu Laoshang scolded the thief for being unyielding and died bravely.

It's a pity that King Fu Xiong has one, how can he commit suicide and martyrdom? On the twenty-first day of the first month, when he saw Li Zicheng, he immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged for mercy.

Li Zicheng saw the three-hundred-pound fat ball prince kneeling in the hall and crying for mercy, and he didn't know how, anyway, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, so he simply asked his subordinates to tie up King Fu, strip and wash it, and get a few deer from the back garden and slaughtered them, cook them in a huge pot with King Fu, and hold a banquet in Zhougong Temple in Xiguan, Luoyang, and eat with his subordinates, called "Fulu Banquet". (Note: There are many theories about how this event will end, but this is one of the most dramatic.) )

Of course, no matter whether Zhu Changxun's death is so "wonderful", at least his performance before his death is enough to disgrace Zhu Yijun's face.

Even Gao Pragmatic occasionally persuaded himself in his heart, after all, Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun were still young at this time, and their cultivation may be able to change a lot now. But how to say it, it's like letting him choose another period to cross, and it is impossible for him to be like Zhang Xianzhong, and let him change his prejudice against Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun, which is really difficult.

However, the difficulty of dispelling prejudices is not the most critical issue, Gao Pragmatic really made up his mind not to choose one of the two of them, instead of trying to find a way to let Queen Wang give birth to a concubine by herself, or consider it from the overall political situation.

This matter is not complicated, only need to make an assumption: Gao Wu is strong enough to support Zhu Changxun to worship the queen as his mother-in-law, and with the help of the emperor, Zhu Changxun has taken the lead...... Can the Mind School agree? Will you give up?

Don't forget, the study of the mind is the "study of moral reality", and they may sometimes be able to back down and compromise in other matters out of temporary avoidance of the edge, but in this matter, they have no way back!

Retreat means that the foundation of their school's existence has been shaken, or even shattered!

By analogy, it is equivalent to letting Gao Pragmatic admit in public that "the ancestral system is not easy", and there is no need to talk about it at all.

Therefore, in the final analysis, high pragmatism actually needs to meet three conditions: it is necessary to prevent the school of thought from going berserk and completely split the civil and official group; It is also necessary to allow the side of the real school to achieve victory; At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent the emperor from being passive and slacking off from work, and engaging in a long-term cold war with the civilian clique.

The only solution is for the queen to give birth to a son-in-law herself.

After listening to Gao's pragmatic analysis and explanation, Liu Xin couldn't help but sigh: "This queen's stomach is really important, and even I am a little worried when you say this...... You say this rumor today...... Shouldn't the blind cat run into a dead mouse, is it really right? ”

The rumor that Liu Xin said was mentioned by Chen Ju and Gao Pragmatic, and Gao Pragmatic told Liu Xin just now: This afternoon, there has been a new rumor in Jingshi, saying that the queen mother was fundamentally injured when giving birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor, and she will no longer be able to get pregnant in the future.

Gao Pragmatic was actually not 100% sure that the queen was okay, but he still said: "Hei Ding worked hard for this, and I mobilized the power in the palace to sort out all the various performances of the queen when she gave birth to the queen's eldest daughter, and even included various details such as the queen's diet and daily life after that, all of which were compiled into a book and handed over to Mr. Binhu for ...... view."

"If the emperor knows how much you care about the queen, I think you are only afraid that your head will not be guaranteed." Liu Xin said with teasing, then paused, and said with a straight face: "What did Li Shizhen say?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "Mr. Binhu thinks that the queen is a heart disease. ”

"Heart disease?" Liu Xin frowned and said: "That's what you suspected before, the queen is afraid of being said to be jealous and lewd, and her virtue is not worthy, so she can't be a mother in the world?" ”

"In addition to this, Mr. Binhu also put forward a hypothesis." Gao Shicheng sighed: "He suspected that the previous childbirth did not go well, which made the queen have some kind of fear, which made her unwilling to conceive again, so she would unconsciously find various reasons to refuse to ...... with the emperor Made. ”

Originally, Gao Pragmatic was very serious when he said these words, but who knew that Liu Xin nodded again and again when he heard it, and said: "I also think that giving birth to a child is a very terrifying thing, especially in this era, surgical medicine is too unreliable, there is no caesarean section or anything, and there is not even an anti-inflammatory injection, giving birth to a child is completely nine deaths." ”

Gao was stunned for a moment, and said with a suspicious expression: "Could this be the reason why you refuse to marry?" ”

Liu Xin glared at him: "What if it's what, what's not?" ”

Gao Shishi shook his head and said: "I think you think too much, as far as I know, the success rate of smooth delivery has the greatest relationship with the physique of the mother, with your physical condition, I think even if you give birth to twins, there will be no danger." ”

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk!" Liu Xin waved her hand in disgust: "Talking about business, talking about business, don't just pull it on me if it's okay, at most two or three people care about whether I have children or not, and now we are talking about whether the queen will have children or not, and there are more people who care about this matter...... What are you going to do now? ”

Gao pragmatic sighed: "Try to drag ...... as much as possible"

At this point, Gao Mo's voice suddenly came from outside: "Master, there is something urgent." ”

Gao Pragmatic knew that Gao Mo would not be rashly disturbed, so he glanced at Liu Xin and replied, "What's the matter?" ”

Gao Mo said: "Zheng Guotai, the younger brother of Emperor Zheng's concubine, is visiting, and the person has arrived. ”
