Zhu Yijun is still quite prescient sometimes, for example, he predicted that Gao Shishi would not be able to leave the palace until late tonight - the two monarchs and ministers had finished "summoning each other", and it was already two o'clock.

Two minutes is equivalent to ten o'clock in the evening of the future generations, so of course the palace door would have been closed a long time ago. If it weren't for Zhu Yijun's greeting in advance, Gao Pragmatic would probably only be able to lay on the floor in the Wenhua Hall tonight, after all, there is no "guest room" in the palace, and even if there is a royal couch in the Wenhua Palace, it is not a place where Gao Pragmatic can sleep.

As for going to the harem to sleep...... Three hundred and sixty degree backflip body three and a half weeks to die?

In the end, Gao Pragmatic was escorted out of the palace from Donghua Gate by the eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch, but at this time it was already curfew, and the city gate had long been closed.

During the honeymoon, he made a fuss all night because of business, Gao Pragmatic lay on the bed and moved himself, and then felt very sorry for Huang Zhiting, and kept thinking about whether he should make up for it, and finally he didn't know when he fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, there was a family member sent by Bai Yulou, saying that he was ordered by his wife to ask what happened to the master last night and why he didn't go back to Bai Yulou to rest.

Gao pragmatic asked him to go back to tell him, and said that he had something to do in the palace temporarily, and talked to the emperor very late on the night of the candle, because the city gate was closed, so he could not go out of the city, and he would explain the specific situation to his wife after he went back tonight.

The family Ding was obviously greatly relieved: "I see. ”

Gao was a little surprised and asked, "What else?" ”

Jia Ding said: "Madame thought that something had happened to the Jingshi, and secretly mobilized the Jia Ding escort team to gather in the large courtyard of Baiyulou early in the morning. ”

Gao Shishi was startled, and hurriedly took off a piece of imperial jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to the family, and said: "You hurry back and let Mrs. disperse the people first, she knows this piece of jade, and it has the right to be a token - pay attention to keep it well, this is a royal gift, if it is damaged, there will be big trouble." ”

The Ding carefully took the jade pendant and looked at it, and it turned out to be a white jade dragon ring pendant. This piece of jade is white and warm, and the whole is in the shape of a dragon. The dragon has two horns, and the dragon's hair flutters backwards and on the left and right sides, and the hair is thin and regular. The dragon's head has raised its eyebrows, and its left and right whiskers are long, and its mouth is open to make a pearl shape. The dragon's body is coiled, with five claws, a bald tail, and a cloud pattern of curly grass around it. The back side of the ring is convex and square-arched, and the moire is carved in high relief.

You don't have to look at anything else, just because the dragon on this jade pendant is a "five-clawed dragon", you know that it must be given by the emperor, otherwise it will be overdone. This jade pendant Huang Zhiting really recognized that Gao Shicheng had always brought it with her when she went to Liaodong last time, because this thing was rewarded by the emperor after the Great War in Monan.

Although there were many "dragon-like" patterns in the Ming Dynasty, many officials were rewarded, such as flying fish and bullfighting. Not to mention Gao Pragmatic's python robe, except that there is no fifth claw, it is simply in the shape of a dragon, but Zhu Yijun's piece of jade itself is the emperor's own, and he took it directly from his waist and gave it to Gao Pragmatic, so this honor is extraordinary, Gao Pragmatic usually carries it himself very carefully, if it weren't for Huang Zhiting's actions this time, he wouldn't have taken this out and let the family take it back.

In fact, the meaning of taking out this piece of jade is not simple.

First of all, Gao Pragmatic estimated that Huang Zhiting might think that something had happened to him, and he might even be the kind that needed to be rescued, otherwise he would not quietly gather troops, so he must take a weighty token to prove that he is good now, this piece of jade is obviously qualified - if he is caught, then this piece of jade will definitely be recovered, and it means that he is fine.

Secondly, Huang Zhiting's reaction was a bit too intense, Gao Shishi felt that she might have been in the "outer land" for a long time, and she was a little unclear about the seriousness of gathering troops in Beijing, so Jia Ding took this piece of jade back to be qualified to represent herself - even if Huang Zhiting was still suspicious, Gao Mo and the people of Jia Ding's escort team didn't dare to move when they saw this piece of jade.

After the family left, although Gao Pragmatic was uncertain, he could only go to the military department to order. Officials in the Ming Dynasty were still very strict on the issue of "going to work", because the rules were all set by Zhu Yuanzhang. Earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang set the system, there are only three days off throughout the year, which is too ruthless, and later Chengzu Zhu Di relaxed it slightly, giving ten days off a year, and "for eternity".

Obviously, there is no holiday today, and if there is no holiday, you have to be on duty, so Gao Shishi can't go back no matter how worried about the situation in Baiyulou.

As for why you don't ask for leave, hehe, how can the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang be so humane! If you want to ask for leave, unless it is the sudden death of your parents who live in Beijing, you will only be sick and can't get out of bed, and the latter must have a doctor from the hospital to come to the door for consultation.

Gao Shishi arrived at his public house, and was about to write a copy of the detailed rules for the training of the Praetorian Guard, when suddenly a Guanzheng Jinshi on duty came to report, saying that Da Sima had been invited.

Liang Menglong and Gao Pragmatic have long been allies, and it is very common for him to "have an invitation", Gao Pragmatic didn't think much about it, put down the lake pen in his hand and went.

At this time, Liang Menglong seemed to have just arrived, and two cups of fragrant tea had already been brewed on the table, smelling like the best "slices" of Lu'an melon slices.

"Da Sima is not only fragrant here, but even the tea fragrance is particularly strong." Gao pragmatic knocked lightly on the door and said with a smile.

"Truth is coming, come on, come in and sit." Liang Menglong got up to greet him with a smile, and the two sat down in front of the tea table.

Gao Pragmatic took the initiative to ask: "What is the benefit of Da Sima calling students?" ”

Liang Menglong is a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing, and of course there is no problem with Gao Pragmatic's self-proclaimed "student". Liang Menglong also knew that Gao Pragmatic usually didn't greet much when talking about business, so he followed his habit and went straight to the point.

He said with a somewhat serious face: "I just received the news, and Liao Fu has settled down." ”

Gao Shishi's heart moved, but he didn't show anything, just bowed his head slightly, and asked, "Which one?" ”

"Li Song." Liang Menglong narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hey?

Gao Shifu frowned slightly, but immediately stretched out again, and said with interest: "This Shen Yuanfu's same year was finally taken seriously by the Xinxue faction?" It's really gratifying. ”

"It's just the best of the best." Liang Menglong pursed his lips slightly, and said, "It's not easy for those of them to find someone who can do a good job in this Liaofu. Although Li Zijie has no great talent, he has also worked in Ningqian Bingbei for more than ten years, at least he is familiar with the border situation in eastern Liaodong. I think that Shen Yaoquan really has no Huchen in his hands, so he has to send a dog to guard the household. Now, I just hope that they won't spoil the overall situation of Liaozuo. ”

In terms of the atmosphere of Daming officialdom, this is actually a bit mean, but the positions of the two sides are different, and these words are actually just about things and people, and Li Song's level is probably really "the best of the mediocre" in Liang Menglong's view. Shen Shixing used him as Liaofu, indeed because there was no "tiger minister" in his hand, so he had to pull out the general among the dwarfs, and the general would be fine.

However, Gao Pragmatic is not worried that Li Song, the "dog guarding the household", will not even be able to guard the gate well, he is worried about another thing.

"When the students first went to Liaodong, they found that Li Zijie had a great friendship with Ning Yuanbo. Da Sima thought that Shen Yuan would use him, could it be that he also took this into account? ”

Liang Menglong nodded and said, "Seek the truth, I won't tell you, this is what I'm most worried about now." I always feel that since you cut Li Chengliang's face in Liaodong, Li Chengliang seems to have stepped into the threshold of Shen Yaoquan. He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Does Shen Yaoquan want to use this to master the entire Liaodong, and then compete with us for the merit of destroying the Yuan?" ”

Gao pragmatically said: "If I take Chahar in the Ming Dynasty, the two directions in which I can mobilize troops are nothing more than Jiliao Second Town, and they will definitely not be able to intervene in Jizhen now, so it is logical to want to open up the situation from Liaodong." ”

As soon as Gao Pragmatic said this, Liang Menglong couldn't help but shake his head: "It's good now, you also transferred a few tiger generals to them when you were in Liaodong, didn't you help them?" ”

Gao pragmatic smiled: "Whoever you help is helping Daming, it doesn't matter." ”

Liang Menglong raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then what's the matter?" ”

"The pearl is secretly cast, and the jade is covered with dust, so it is tight." Gao Pragmatic sighed lightly: "Ning Yuanbo is a person, he has the ability, but sometimes his selfishness is admittedly too heavy. The students were afraid that he was not willing to use those 'people from other towns' at all, but suppressed them, or did not give them a chance. ”

Liang Menglong thought for a while and asked, "If Li Chengliang wants to fight by himself, according to the view of seeking truth, can he beat it?" ”

Gao pragmatically said: "It depends on how much force Jizhen will use, and how much force he is willing to use." ”

Liang Menglong asked: "Here in Jizhen, if it is according to the previous plan, what about it?" ”

Gao Pragmatic thought for a moment and said, "If Ning Yuanbo is willing to give up his 40,000 elites, he is not afraid of attrition, and he will let go of the battle, and the students think they can still fight." ”

Liang Menglong laughed, shook his head and said: "With what I know about Li Chengliang, he can't do this in his life - he is not afraid of attrition and let go of the fight." ”

Gao Chengcheng immediately frowned, but he did not refute Liang Menglong's words, because he actually felt that Li Chengliang was probably not so "selfless", which could be basically concluded from his previous performances.

Liang Menglong smiled again: "If you want Li Jiaken to fight this battle honestly, it is actually not impossible. ”

Gao was a little surprised and asked, "What way?" ”

Liang Menglong looked at Nunu to the west and said, "Transfer Li Rusong to be the chief soldier of Liaodong and replace his father." ”

Oh, the son for the father.

Gao pragmatic thought about it, this can be operated, after all, Li Rusong and his father's temperament is really different, although this person has a bad temper, but he is willing to spend money to fight, which can be seen from the historical war of aid to Korea Li Rusong almost beat the blood of the Liaodong Army to the drain.

In terms of personality, he may really be a straight man, unlike his father, who has been a student. If the battle to aid Korea is replaced by Li Chengliang, he may lose 10,000 elites, he will go up and ask for rescue in a frenzy, how can he be as sincere as Li Rusong, gritted his teeth and carried it himself, and in the end, Zhu Yijun couldn't stand it anymore and mobilized the reinforcements for him.

Of course, this is also a manifestation of Li Rusong's face-saving as a "second generation", while Li Chengliang, as a "first generation", must be more concerned about Lizi.

"Li Rusong can be used, but ...... So what about Uncle Ning Yuan? Gao asked pragmatically.

Liang Menglong didn't answer this sentence, but asked, "Truth, do you really plan to do this?" ”

Gao pragmatic didn't understand for a while: "What? ”

"If the Li family really votes for Shen Yaoquan, and this battle is fought according to the way just envisaged, then the Xinxue faction will be able to compete with us in side matters in the future."

This is a very real problem.

Gao Shizai thought carefully for a while before he said slowly: "If Da Sima wants to ask the students, the students still think that the overall situation of the imperial court should be the first. ”

"Good! is worthy of being the successor of Gao Wenzhenggong! Liang Menglong high-fived and praised, but after complimenting, he said again: "However, I don't expect this matter to be so easy." ”

Gao pragmatic said: "Please advise Da Sima." ”

"I can't talk about advice." Liang Menglong said: "Truth-seeking, you are dedicated to the public, which is admirable, but others may not be like you." Do you think that if you replace Li Chengliang with Li Rusong in Liaodong, this battle will be considered nine out of ten? I don't think so, because there is a more critical issue that I didn't have to worry about before, but now it has arisen. ”

After all, Gao Pragmatic is also a person who is good at calculation, and he was led off by Liang Menglong just now, and he has come back to his senses at this time, and thinks: "What does Da Sima mean is that even if Li Rusong can fight and is willing to fight, he is not the one who decides to fight?" ”

Liang Menglong said with relief: "Talking to the truth is comfortable, and the meaning is self-evident before it is spoken." Yes, no matter how willing Li Rusong is to fight this battle, but in the final analysis, he can't decide whether to fight or not - the emperor can decide, but the emperor must also rely on the judgment of the border ministers to weigh the profit and loss. In this way, if Li Zijie thinks that Liaodong can't be beaten, do you think the emperor will be willing to take the elites of the two most important towns in the world to fight? ”

Gao pragmatic frowned and said: "If this is the case, our military department will naturally play a role and resolutely lead the battle." ”

Liang Menglong smiled and asked softly, "What if Yuanfu is against it?" ”

, forget that the cabinet is not the real school now!

Gao Pragmatic suddenly found that he had long been accustomed to the thinking of "the cabinet supports me", but he forgot that the current Shoufu is no longer Gao Gong, not Guo Pu, not Zhang Siwei, but Shen Shixing - this is a political enemy!

What is a political opponent? If I support it, he will most likely oppose it, and this is called a political enemy!

Liang Menglong saw that Gao Shishi's face changed, so he smiled slightly: "Seek truth and understand?" ”

Gao Shitie blushed, spit out a breath of turbidity, calmed down, and asked, "Then according to this view, isn't this battle going to be forcibly pressed?" What is the magic of Da Sima Ke to change? ”

Liang Menglong smiled and said, "I have been thinking about this since the first day I entered the Cardinal Mansion (Military Department), and now I have finally figured out one thing: if you want Shen Yuanfu to fight the main battle, there is one condition that must be met. ”

"On what terms?" Gao asked pragmatically.

Liang Menglong said: "The condition is to make Shen Yaoquan feel that after this battle, their credit will be greater than ours." ”
