Chapter 031: The Affair of the Imperial Court (Part I)
Although Gao Shixing said "sweep the couch to greet each other", Shen Shixing obviously would not spend the night in his Baiyu Tower, otherwise the two schools of Xinxue and Shixue would mumble when it was spread, which was really unbeautiful. Now that the business has been discussed, Shen Shixing got up and said goodbye after the dinner.
Gao Pragmatic was not at all as sharp as he was in the negotiation just now, and he was polite - it can even be said that he respectfully sent his "prime minister" all the way out of the house. When Shen Shixing's green nyun sedan chair was almost invisible, he turned around and went back, making himself a protégé disciple.
On the way back to the city, Shen Shixing had already heard a report from someone about Gao Shishi's actions just now, which made him even more uncertain.
In Shen Shixing's opinion, Gao Shixing's kid is too difficult to deal with. Although the average young person is full of momentum, his weaknesses are also obvious, most of them get carried away in good times, and decadent and abandon themselves in adversity. However, in Gao Pragmatism, neither of these situations has occurred.
Since the "Xiaoge Lao" period in the past, Shen Shixing has been his teacher, and he has observed Gao Pragmatic many times. At that time, Gao Pragmatic became the prince's companion with the reputation of a prodigy, and he was the nephew of the first assistant of the dynasty, and he also made a lot of money because of the explosion of Jinghua soap.
The smoothness of good times is simply beyond measure. But Shen Shixing noticed that even at that time, Gao Shixing never showed the appearance of getting carried away, and could even be said to be overly cautious - Shen Shixing sometimes felt that even if he was him, he might not be able to be more cautious than him.
At that time, Shen Shixing thought that this should be due to Gao Gong's repeated explanations, but after Gao Gong's death, he was a little shaken in this idea - because Gao Shishi was still cautious at that time.
This is not to get carried away in good times, and not to be decadent and self-abandoning in adversity.
Gao Pragmatism has also experienced adversity. At the beginning, he entered the Hanlin Academy with six champions, and he had the blessing of "the true leader in the past two hundred years, and I have been the author of Wenqu Luoshudan", which is simply brilliant.
Everyone in the world, including Shen Shixing, thought that his future was very good, and even felt that no one could stop him from moving forward.
However, at this time, he was inexplicably demoted to an official and even a foreign appointment, and was sent to Guangxi, where birds do not in the eyes of Beijing officials. This situation is not much better than Yang Sheng'an back then.
But you must know that Yang Sheng'an was demoted back then, and then he was delayed in Yunnan for most of his life! Will Gao Pragmatism also end up like this? The government and the opposition have different opinions.
But Gao Pragmatic, who was demoted to Guangxi, was not discouraged at all, and continued to do things according to his own style. He not only quickly resolved the disputes within Guangxi for many years, but even recovered Annan beyond everyone's expectations.
Such a person who is not arrogant or discouraged in victory is already extremely difficult to deal with, but he also eats both politics and business, and it is already difficult to start with any of them, and the sum of the two is simply impeccable.
However, the problem lies here, since the high pragmatism of politics and business is almost impeccable, why does he still take the initiative to ask "the court to solve the affairs of the imperial court, and the affairs of the shopping mall to solve the shopping mall"?
According to Shen Shixing's idea, the chaebols of Zhejiang and Yingtian have united to make enemies with Jinghua, and judging from the book data, as long as this "war" is fought in the southeast, the chaebols of Jiangsu and Zhejiang should still have a greater chance of winning.
In such a situation, Gao pragmatic is willing to "do the business of the mall", which is really unreasonable.
However, Shen Shixing himself didn't know much about shopping malls, and he didn't understand how Gao Pragmatic viewed and planned this matter, so he could only give up in the end, and planned to send someone to inform the chaebols in Jiangsu and Zhejiang as soon as possible.
He Shen Yuanfu himself, or deal with "the affairs of the imperial court" first.
Although the general trend of "the affairs of the imperial court" with the conclusion of the "gentleman's agreement" between him and Gao Pragmatic tonight is already very clear, but the specific operation still needs to be careful.
At this time, Shen Shixing began to regret the advice he gave Pan Sheng, if Pan Sheng really listened to his words and suddenly jumped out to muddy the water, it would be a bad thing. And I don't know what Gao Pragmatic will think if such a situation really happens.
But Shen Shixing still underestimated the speed of Gao Pragmatic's actions, and also underestimated Pan Sheng's courage.
In the end, Pan Ge Lao still didn't dare to make some commotion between the two factions, and still stayed at home honestly, suspending himself and reflecting on himself.
After getting Shen Shixing's acquiescence, the Shixue faction suddenly launched a fierce offensive.
On the morning of the next day, the impeachment of Pan Sheng flew like snowflakes into the General Administration, from which it was submitted to the Cabinet, and then to the Celebrant of Rites.
Shen Shixing's side of the Guanzheng Jinshi counted and found that Pan Ge Lao may have inadvertently set a record: in one morning, he was impeached forty-three times. His impeachers ranged from Kedao to Hanlin Yuan; From seven products to one product, one level does not fall!
In the afternoon, the situation even became even more out of control, and even Gao Pragmatic himself was a little confused.
Because he found that in the afternoon, not only the officials of the Shixue School were continuing to stir up storms and waves under his instructions, but there were even other people who joined the battle group - such as his fellow Gu Xiancheng.
Gu Xiancheng was very famous in later generations, because he was "Mr. Donglin" - Donglin Academy, the predecessor of the Donglin Party, was established by him.
One of the points of Gao Pragmatism's entanglement is that he personally disdains the later Donglin Party, and even dislikes it when he hears the word Donglin, but at this time, Mr. Donglin Gu Xiancheng is a young official who is obviously inclined to practical learning, and he is highly pragmatic as the actual leader of the practical school, and it seems that he has no position to reject this person.
The situation is the same this time, although Gu Xiancheng is just the gold list of Wanli for eight years, he is shallow in official qualifications, and his status is not high, but he is only the head of a household department, but his tone when he talks about the impeachment of Pan Sheng is very intense. In the text, he directly criticized Pan Sheng for "being in charge of the Ministry of Rites, but he did not see his festival; Called the old pavilion, did not see its virtue. The minister doesn't know how to occupy his position with such old decay! ”
The fierceness of his words and the brutality of his impeachment are all better than those of the officials of the Shixue School.
Gao Pragmatic had to think carefully about the use of Gu Xiancheng.
He suddenly thought of a big question: Is the Donglin in the late Ming Dynasty and the Donglin in the early Ming Dynasty really the same thing? I'm afraid otherwise.
At least now Gu Xiancheng's strength in criticizing mental learning, I am afraid that it is not worse than his high pragmatism.
Gao pragmatic thought about it carefully, and it seems that the early Donglin Party members in history, especially Gu Xiancheng and Gao Panlong's thoughts, are the most representative. However, Gu and Gao have always made it clear that they are dissatisfied with Wang Shouren's doctrine of goodness, accusing Wang Shouren of "no good and no evil" as a way to interpret Zen and emptiness, which has corrupted the Confucian atmosphere of practical learning. Among them, Gu Xiancheng's criticism was the most intense.
However, Gu Xiancheng did not disagree with the supreme goodness of the Taoist body, but disagreed that the supreme good is no good and no evil. In this regard, he put forward the concept of reality and emptiness of the Taoist body, and then formed the concept of actual teaching. This also shows his view of practical learning.
However, there is a big problem here, that is, Gu Xiancheng's "practical learning" is different from the practical learning of the world of Gao Gong and Gao Pragmatism, and Gu Xiancheng talks about "moral practical learning". (This was mentioned earlier, in the chapter before the Chung Yeung Conference.) )
As I said before, the study of mind was originally also a category under the general concept of "practical learning", and it was also the main representative of the school of "moral practical learning" earlier, but it just diverged as it walked.
Now that Gu Xiancheng's "new school of morality" has emerged, a heart and mind are fighting for life and death with the "old school of morality", what is the matter with the high pragmatism of the "school of truth in the world"?
In fact, Gao Pragmatism is not unaware that the confrontation with Buddhism and Lao made Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties become "practical learning" in a broad sense, and the criticism of Wang Yangming by the Donglin Party members in history was partly due to misunderstanding. In the sense of practical learning, they are still a family, and they both belong to the school of "moral realism".
When they debated with the Buddhists, they all went back to the controversy between Mencius and the Confucius, because they saw that these two arguments were essentially the same, and both meant the struggle between "good sex" and "no good and no evil in nature", that is, the dispute between real and void sexuality.
It's just that in Mencius's time, there was no Buddhist concept of emptiness or emptiness, so Mencius did not put forward a specific concept of reality. Only in the Song and Ming dynasties, when Buddhism was rampant, did there be a concept of reality.
If so, conceptually speaking, Shixue was born in the Song and Ming dynasties; In essence, Confucianism itself is practical learning.
That is to say, under the general characteristics of Confucianism, there are various levels of practice. According to the principle of the unity of body and application, the Tao or sexual essence will be dispersed into all things. In this way, whether it is sexual ontology or ordinary daily use, it is all practical learning.
And ordinary daily use includes all areas of people's lives, including moral articles and worldly deeds; There are not only the study of the poor reason, but also the art of governing the country through the world.
In this way, all the things that the Confucians of the Song and Ming dynasties did under the banner of Confucianism can be called Shixue.
During this period, there were various concepts of practical learning, some advocating the effectiveness of Confucianism, such as Xu Guangqi; Some advocate the characteristics of Confucianism, such as Li Zhizao; Some advocate the sexual characteristics of Confucianism, such as Yang Tingyun; Some advocate the monism of Confucianism and goodness, such as Huang Zongxi. Regardless of which aspect they focus on, they may seem contradictory, but they are all part of the general tendency of Confucianism to be realized.
Among the above people, Gao Pragmatism certainly recognizes Xu Guangqi more, because theoretically speaking, Xu Guangqi is one of the successors of his Gao family's Shixue, and he pays attention to learning to see practical results.
But at this time, Gao Pragmatism cannot help but think about another question: Is there any hope for the unification of these various "practical studies"? Is there a need for reunification?
Academics, according to a highly pragmatic view, should "bloom a hundred flowers", even if he does not recognize today's end of the mind, but it is not good to say that there is no good thing in the end of the mind.
In the same way, does the Donglin Party only have "itchy scalps" and only "the water is too cold"? In the early days of the Donglin Party, there were a lot of people with good spirits!
How exactly should I distinguish and how should I treat it?
Gao pragmatic rarely sat in his own room and started to stay, and this "stay" was more than an hour.
It wasn't until someone came to tell him that Pan Ge Lao had taken three consecutive recitals in one day, each of which was a resolute resignation, that Gao Pragmatic slowly came back to his senses.
Within a day, three sparse retreats?
It seems that Pan Sheng has completely admitted it, but this is not surprising, if Shen Shixing does not save him, what courage and strength does he have to confront the tide of "inverted Pan" of the Shixue School?
The three retreats are the last bit of face for themselves, otherwise if the emperor orders to take office, it will really be the same treatment as Yan Song.
Gao Pragmatic was not wrong, and after about half an hour, the celebrant sent out today's Zhu approval, including Zhu Yijun's reply to Pan Shengsan's retreat.
Pan Sheng's first retreat was based on the reason of "seeking to retreat due to illness", while Zhu Yijun's reply was "Mr. Pan is old and disobedient, and the hospital will send personnel to diagnose and treat him in detail." Please do not allow it. ”
Pan Sheng begged for retreat for the second time, in addition to "due to illness", he also said that he had not had enough energy recently, and he was afraid that it was a sign that the oil had run out of light, so it was better to return early, so he begged for bones.
This time, Zhu Yijun's reply was "has been diagnosed and treated in the Tai Hospital." Please do not allow it. ”
And in the afternoon, the third retreat begged for retreat, which was after Gu Xiancheng and other non-real school officials also began to participate in the war, this time Pan Sheng added another article in addition to the first two reasons, which roughly means that since the old minister has lost the trust of his colleagues and courtiers, he has to retreat for the sake of self-purification.
This time Zhu Yijun's reply was a little interesting, he first praised Pan Sheng a few words lightly, of course, it was nothing more than a few clichés, and then said, "Mr. Pan is eager to retreat, I already know it in detail." Although I have nostalgia in my heart, I have to be considerate of Mr. 's feelings. Mr. Zhun Pan resigned, and sent him back. ”
You don't have to look at the polite words, in short, you agree. However, Zhu Yijun still followed the tradition and saved face for the ministers, not only using the expression of approving resignation, but also giving carriages and horses - to send Pan Sheng home at public expense at the post stations along the way.
So far, the highly pragmatic "reverse Pan" operation has come to a perfect end. Pan Sheng stepped down early before Wang Xijue's defense was over, and returned to his hometown to retire.
However, this incident has not completely ended, because according to the "gentleman's agreement" between him and Shen Shixing yesterday, the position of the cabinet minister left by Pan Shengzhishi has not yet settled.
"The affairs of the imperial court are handled by the imperial court", and they must continue to be done - at least they must wait for the position of this cabinet minister to be decided.
So early the next morning, Shen Shixing went up as the first assistant, saying that since Pan Sheng was a minister, the cabinet assistant ministers should not be suspended for too long, and asked the emperor to agree to promote the cabinet ministers.
Zhu Yijun quickly made a reply, agreed to this request, and ordered the preparation of the court push.
