Chapter 082: Before Taking Office (Part I)
It stands to reason that since Huo Ji is a scholar-level member who is inclined to Gao Gong, it seems that Gao Gong should help him in this matter, but the situation is not so simple.
In the first year of Huo Ji Longqing, he served as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi. In February, Zhang Juzheng entered the cabinet to participate in the maintenance of the aircraft. At that time, Xu Jie's power was in his hands, and Gao Gong left the cabinet in May of the first year because of discord with Xu Jie. In September, I answered Kou Datong, trapped Shizhou, plundered Jiaocheng, Wenshui, and smashed the central part of Shanxi, and the Beijing division was in the terror of war. In October, after being captive and full, he led his troops to retreat north. Emperor Longqing issued an edict to let the ministers discuss the matters of war defense, and Guo Gan, the secretary of the military department, was dismissed, and Ding Hai was replaced by Huo Ji in October. On the first day, Wang Chonggu, the governor of Ningxia, changed the right squire of the military department and the right servant of the imperial history, and the governor of Shaanxi on three sides.
In the third year of Longqing, Huo Ji entered the Nine Sides Books. This year, disasters were frequent, Huo Ji and Yang Bo begged to rest together, but Longqing did not allow it.
Here's where the problem comes in. At that time, Yang Bo was a secretary of the household department, and it made sense to resign frequently due to disasters, but Huo Ji also joined in the excitement of a military department?
The reason is that Huo Ji and Yang Bo are fellow villagers, and the fact that they advance and retreat together to this extent shows that the relationship is very unusual. Before Huo Ji, Yang Bo was the secretary of the Ministry of War, and when Huo Ji was the secretary of the Ministry of War, Yang Bo was the secretary of the Ministry of Households, but at the same time, he was also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War.
So in the final analysis, Huo Ji is Yang Bo's person, not a person with a high arch. As for why his political attitude is inclined to Gao Gong, there is an incomplete reason: Gao Gong has always had a good relationship with Shanxi officials - remember the fuse that caused the conflict between Xu Jie and Gao Gong to erupt before? It was the Jingcha presided over by Yang Bo that time, and Gao Gong was on Yang Bo's side at that time.
Of course, the specific situation is still relatively complicated, and I can't understand it in a few words. In short, Yang Bo, Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei and other Shanxi officials, in the court, the political attitude of the political attitude is more inclined to Gao Gong, Huo Ji, as one of the Shanxi officials, probably followed Yang Bo internally, and it is not surprising that he also has a tendency towards Gao Gong.
But no matter what, Huo Ji's "leading brother" is Yang Bo, not Gao Gong.
In this case, it is not good for Gao Gong to be strong casually, at least he has to wait for Yang Bo to make a statement, so he can make a move, otherwise what do you want Yang Bo to think? What do other senior members from Shanxi think?
What's the matter, are you Gao Suqing planning to directly incorporate our Shanxi Gang as a whole or what?
Because of this reason, Gao Gong must be inconvenient to meddle now, even if he wants to intervene, he has to wait until Huo Ji can't withstand Zhao Zhenji's pressure and Yang Bo is helpless, and then the shot will show its weight.
But in the original history, this incident went wrong later, and the reasons are more complicated, simply put, Huo Ji resigned directly in anger, and Gao Gong didn't have time to do anything. But a year later, Gao Gong became the first assistant and stabilized his position, so he instructed his cronies and protégés and officials to give Han Ji a sparse in the matter, and please reactivate Huo Ji. Not only Han Ji alone, starting from Han Ji, a large group of high-arched protégés and former officials have asked for Huo Ji to be reactivated, but at that time, Huo Ji was sick and in poor health, so he couldn't resign, and he died of illness after another four years.
That's probably the cause and effect, and now it's time to get down to business.
Emperor Longqing, don't look at the usual quiet, but he actually knows these insiders very well, and he knows that the so-called Zhao Zhenji is only because of his stubborn temper and big frame that he is at odds with Gao Gong is completely untenable. Zhao Zhenji is Xu Jie's remaining party, and the contradiction between him and Gao Gong is, in the final analysis, the difference in governance philosophy: Xu Jie's governance philosophy has long been said, and a thousand words are combined into one sentence: maintain the status quo.
But Gao Gong is obviously not satisfied with maintaining the status quo, what he wants is to "eliminate the eight evils", is to create a new, upward Ming.
The contradiction between these two people cannot be resolved at all. The reason why Zhao Zhenji is still retained is that Zhao Zhenji has not made any major mistakes at present, and he cannot be innocent; The second is that the forces within Xu Jieyu's party have not yet been straightened out, and they have to wait.
The former does not need to be said, but the latter must be mentioned.
Who is Emperor Longqing waiting for to sort out the internal forces of Xu Jieyu's party?
It's none other than Zhang Juzheng.
Of course, Zhang Juzheng is from Xu Jie's party, but he is also a minister of Longqing's hidden mansion, so whether to use him or not depends on his own inclination.
How does Long Qing observe his tendencies? It's simple: those who are close to Gao Gong are inclined to their own emperor; The one who went far from Gao Gong was the selfish Xu Jie's party members.
In the final analysis, in Longqing's mind, because Gao Gong's political ideals perfectly overlapped with himself, Gao Gong was his plenipotentiary spokesman in the outer court, the descendants of the lineage, and the cronies of the cronies.
said that all the way with the high arch is like going all the way with him to celebrate the son of heaven; Whoever is strange with Gao Gong is like a stranger with him.
Therefore, he subconsciously said that he would not mention Zhao Zhenji at all.
Gao pragmatic vaguely figured out this truth, and suddenly felt that his waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer painful, and he could climb the fifth floor in one breath...... Hey, why is this sentence so familiar.
At this time, Meng Chong also nodded with a smile, and echoed: "Yes, yes, long live Grandpa Shengming is arbitrary, and the cabinet is finally ...... I finally understood the hard work of Grandpa Banzai. He said, he was afraid for a while, and said in his heart: Straight lady thief, almost said "The cabinet finally gave a face and did not seal the decree", but fortunately, the gentlemen responded in time.
Long Qing also smiled and nodded, and said to Feng Bao: "Feng Bao, you go to tell the following that you can engrave the plaque for Gao Shishi." ”
Engraving and carving refers to the engraving of official seals and waist plates. With this thing, Gao Pragmatic is a serious Ming official.
Gao pragmatic thought in his heart: I don't know how to write on my official seal and waist card?
The official seal must be the prince's companion?
Shouldn't the waist card be written "The prince accompanies the fake attendant bachelor and is pragmatic"?
My two officials also seem to be a bit like a formal position with a title, but they don't have a serious grade, if they are placed in the previous life, what level is it?
From the five products should be a Zhizhou, should Zhizhou be equivalent to the deputy hall, or is it being located? Shouldn't I be counted as a ...... There is no rank but you enjoy the treatment of deputy department or department level?
Interesting......
It's still easy to mix in this era, and you can mix to the level that you didn't get in your thirties in your previous life, so it can be seen that there is an old saying: There are people in the court who are good officials!
