The entire Beijing division has been disturbed and cannot be stopped, but the Zuo Shilang of the military department, the assistant director of the Beijing camp, Rong Zhenggao, and Gao Gongbao, who set off this whirlwind, are not in the military department. Several yamen located next door to the military headquarters came over and wanted to ask Gao Gongbao in person, but they were all told that Gao Gongbao had gone to the camp in northern Beijing, and it was said that he was inspecting the defense, and everyone had to leave with regret.

The so-called Gao Gongbao went to the Jingbei camp to inspect the defense affairs, in fact, it is a half-truth, he did inspect several forts on the periphery of the Jingbei camp accompanied by Qi Jiguang and others, but only three of the 24 forts did not continue, but stayed in one of the forts near the lake to play and chat with Qi Jiguang.

Gao pragmatic chess skills are not worthy of his status as the champion of the six firsts, even if to put it mildly, it is just mediocre. Fortunately, Qi Jiguang's chess skills don't seem to be very good, and he actually killed half a pound and eight taels with Gao Pragmatic.

The two stinky chess baskets played three games, but Gao pragmatic won two games in three games and barely won.

It's a pity that although Gao pragmatic's chess skills are not good, his vision is never bad, just when Qi Jiguang admitted defeat with a smile, he couldn't help but shake his head and quipped: "I'm afraid that my stinky chess skills are difficult for Nantang Gong, it's not good to win casually, and it's not good to lose casually, it's very hard, right?" ”

Qi Jiguang saw that Gao was pragmatic and not discouraged, so he laughed and arched his hand: "With the wisdom of Gong Bao, how can you be poor in chess?" According to the last general, Gong Bao just put his mind on today's big event, so he was multi-purpose, and almost gave away some false names and last generals. ”

Gao Pragmatic stretched out his hand casually, pushed the chess pieces away, shook his head and said: "Some people say that chess art is the art of the Son of Heaven, and some people say that chess art is the art of generals, but I don't think so." ”

Qi Jiguang was slightly surprised and asked, "Oh? But I don't know what Gong Bao thinks of chess? ”

"Chess is like life." Gao pragmatic said: "The law is in yin and yang, and it is in the number of techniques." Small victories rely on technique, and big victories rely on morality. ”

Qi Jiguang was thoughtful, but before he could speak, Gao pragmatic but self-conscious said: "A few years ago, I invited my mentor Mr. Dongye to come to Beijing, and at that time, Mr. may have thought that I was a jade to be carved out, so he accompanied me to Beijing. But not long after, my husband criticized me...... What does Mr. Nantang Gong know about me? ”

Qi Jiguang was surprised and said: "With the talent of Gong Bao Tianzhong, it is really hard to imagine how to criticize the general, presumably there must be a unique high theory of grace?" ”

is worthy of Qi Jiguang, that is, he can speak, while affirming the high and pragmatic "genius of the sky", and on the other hand, saying that Guo Pu "must have a unique high theory", which is really exquisite and clear, and it is harmonious on all sides.

Gao pragmatic smiled, then pinched a chess piece and sighed lightly, and said faintly: "Mr. accused me of overcalculating." ”

Qi Jiguang couldn't help but be stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This ...... Also considered criticism? ”

"Naturally, it's criticism." Gao pragmatically said: "Mr. taught me the truth of 'small victory depends on technique, big victory depends on virtue', but unfortunately I didn't understand it at that time, I was afraid that I would live up to Mr.'s hard work." ”

Qi Jiguang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that's not the case." According to the general, the palace guard is already the first in the world in terms of studies and achievements, and if this is not enough to satisfy Enxiang, then Enxiang's standard is inevitably too high. Qi Jiguang has been under the command of the Shixue School since the Gaogong era, so Guo Pu is also commensurate with "kindness".

However, Gao Pragmatic seemed to be a little distracted at this time, closed his eyes, and was still muttering in his mouth: "Small wins rely on art, big wins rely on virtue......"

Qi Jiguang's heart moved, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said secretly: Enxiang is really like a torch, judging from Gao Gongbao's appearance, he is still "too calculating"! It even seems that he is now afraid that he will calculate all this "virtue".

It's like playing a game, he knows that I won't dare to win him, so he does whatever he wants, without thinking about it at all, but is so tired that I "can't win casually, and it's not easy to lose casually", so I can only think hard about how to lose more "really".

Qi Jiguang's idea may confuse "virtue" and "potential", but perhaps in his opinion, Gao Pragmatic as a Shangguan represents "morality", at least he himself is a general under his command, if he does not respect Shangguan, he will definitely lose morality. Gao Pragmatic knew this, so he was sure that Qi Jiguang would not dare to win him.

This is to include "virtue".

It's just that Qi Jiguang is not sure what Gao Pragmatic is thinking about now, but the only thing that can be guessed is that it must be related to today's situation.

Technique and virtue?

What exactly does Takamiya want to calculate?

After a long time, Qi Jiguang suddenly heard Gao Shishi say: "Where the reason is, each is what it is, and each is not what it is." Without Confucius, who can determine the truth of right and wrong? ”

Qi Jiguang also reads, and even "Zhizhitang Collection" came out, but in front of Gao Pragmatic, let him talk about the army, but let him talk about the Tao but he was really not confident enough, and he had to say: "The last general is dull, but I know that the ancestor Gao Wenzheng once said: 'The law changes with the times, and the law moves with the times'." The current palace wants to open the ban of the domain, and the end will think that it is the right time. This is reasonable, so why care about what others are doing and what is wrong? ”

Qi Jiguang's words surprised Gao Shishi, he didn't know that Qi Jiguang actually read Gao Gong's works, and he actually knew that Gao Gong had said this.

However, this sentence is also recognized by Gao Shishi himself, especially when he thinks that Gao Gong can say this sentence, which really shows the mind of a true reformer.

In fact, Qi Jiguang only quoted half of this sentence just now, and the original words of Gao Gong were: If things are displaced, it is easy to be in place; If the law changes with the times, the law will change with the times. (Note: This sentence is from Gao Gong's "Cheng Shi Collection" volume 4 "Confucius Yanquan")

In fact, it is precisely the sentence of Gao Gong that established the theoretical basis for the "Longwan Great Reform".

What would this sentence be if it were understood and summarized in the simplest way?

In fact, it's just four words: keep pace with the times!

Social reality will change, and if reality changes, then the things that are suitable for it, whether it is the law or the law, should change accordingly, otherwise how can we adapt?

If you don't adapt, you will do bad things, until the country is destroyed!

Although Qi Jiguang didn't elaborate, this sentence seemed to give Gao Shishi a reassurance, his eyes became firm, he nodded slowly and vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "What Nantang Gong said is very true. If the law changes with the times, the law will change with the times. Now that the ban has become a chronic disease of my dynasty, if I don't change it, who will I seek? Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go. ”

Qi Jiguang bowed slightly: "If you don't give up, the last general is willing to protect it from the palace." ”

Gao Shishi laughed, turned around and patted Qi Jiguang's shoulder vigorously, and said, "With Nantang Gong on the side, where in the world can't I go?" ”

Qi Jiguang hesitated a little and asked, "Gong Bao said this...... Could it be that the palace guard is worried that there will be a clan to call it chaos? ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head, waved his hand and said: "Most of the sect and clan dare not be chaotic, but some people deliberately induce changes, and then instigate the emperor to 'punish Chao wrong'. ”

Qi Jiguang's face changed: "Why is this so? If you act like this, aren't you afraid that you will end up without a problem? ”

"Nantang Gong, don't you think that I am talking about the princes of the DPRK and the central government, and dare to do this." Gao pragmatically shook his head and said: "What I am talking about is not in the outer court, but in the inner court. ”

"The Inner Court?" Qi Jiguang was a little surprised, and said secretly: Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju in the inner court, aren't they all your high palace guards' helpers?

"Although the princes of the Tao are in power, they cannot treat the inner court as nothing. Jin Huang, Chen Ergong and I are united, and there will inevitably be those who want to replace them, so the inside and outside are compatible, and one day we will join forces again......"

Gao Pragmatic narrowed his eyes slightly: "This time, I want to set off a trend of opening the feudal ban, and on the surface, the civil and military forces are naturally compatible, and they are all his words, but I am afraid that there will inevitably be people who want to fight ghosts in the dark." When I think about it, the most likely person who does not care about the safety of the world or the reputation of future generations is the ambitious people in the inner court. ”

Qi Jiguang said suspiciously: "But if there are people in the inner court who have ill intentions, I am afraid that this matter will not be successful." ”

"Yes, yes." Gao pragmatically nodded, but sneered again: "However, if there are people in the outer court who are forced by the situation, they may not be used by the ambitious people in the inner court to do something that people are angry about." ”

There was no definite indication of these words, Qi Jiguang could hear the clouds and mountains and fog, and he couldn't figure out who Gao Pragmatic was referring to, so he couldn't help but have a headache. But since Gao Pragmatic didn't know what to say, he must have his reasons, but Qi Jiguang was inconvenient to ask more, so he had to say: "Presumably Gong Bao has a way to deal with it?" ”

Gao pragmatic sighed: "Small victories rely on technique, and big victories rely on morality." This matter is not something that I should be involved in, and this 'technique' is not easy to use, so I have to rely on morality. ”

Qi Jiguang became more and more incomprehensible, and said with a wry smile: "As long as the palace guards have a good chest, the last general has no ability to do anything, so he can only train for the palace guards, once there is something in the court, the Praetorian Guards can always be trusted." ”

Gao pragmatically smiled and bowed: "That's enough, whether I can pass the test in the future or not, maybe it should also be in the performance of the Praetorian Guard." ”

Qi Jiguang was shocked in his heart, but his face was quite calm, he was just a little worried, and said: "The Praetorian Guard was originally trained to destroy the Tumen, and I really don't want to use it in Shenzhou." ”

Gao pragmatic said lightly: "Whether inside or outside, in the final analysis, it is all for the sake of 'changing the law to the times', but there is not much difference." ”

When Qi Jiguang heard this, he didn't say more, but he was a little more worried in his heart.

Gao Pragmatic didn't say anything more, looked at the sky, and said, "It's time to go back and order the next value, but I don't know who is going to jump out this time?" ”

With that, he turned and walked away. Qi Jiguang gave him a ride, and watched his green nun sedan gradually move away, his eyes a little worried.

When a stocky general next to him saw it, he couldn't help but ask: "Why is Gao Gongbao talking so cloudy and foggy today, and the imperial court wants to cut down the domain?" ”

Qi Jiguang glanced at him angrily and said, "Cutting the domain? What else is worth cutting? ”

The general said inexplicably: "Since you don't cut the domain, how can you say 'punish the wrong'?" ”

Qi Jiguang sighed: "Gao Gong Bao means that the imperial court is not going to do anything to cut the domain, but some people will deliberately say that the ban on opening the domain is like cutting the domain, and then secretly plan to make some things happen, so as to trap Gao Gong Bao in danger." ”

The general suddenly realized, thought about it, and said: "This has to be guarded against, some clans don't seem to be very smart, and they may not be fooled if they can't get it." ”

Qi Jiguang was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "This is not something we can hear, presumably since Gao Gongbao is prepared, it will always be difficult for those people to please him in his hands, we still train with peace of mind, and wait for the imperial court military order." ”

The general had a big heart, and when he heard this, he nodded again and again: "The commander is right, let's still train the troops and wait for the war to be right, no matter who he fights - who is not a military merit?" ”

Now the Praetorian Guard likes to call Qi Jiguang's new position "Commander", not because of anything else, but because this position is only used by the Praetorian Guard, which is really the only one of the scorpions, which sounds very different, and it seems that the Praetorian Guard is extraordinarily different.

Qi Jiguang sighed, but did not speak again, and turned away silently.

And Gao Pragmatic arrived at the military department, and sure enough, he still did not escape the "interview", and many people deliberately waited for him at the entrance of the military department. Seeing him coming, they all gathered around, praising Gao Gong Baotian for his courage, and at the same time asking how this matter should be handled.

But Gao Pragmatic just talked to them handily, and refused to say too much, just pushed the music to be sparse, and the emperor only discussed it with the cabinet, and did not officially issue an edict to say how to deal with it, so it was inconvenient to talk about it in detail.

Everyone tried again, but when they saw that they couldn't ask anything, they had to say goodbye one after another.

Gao Pragmatic may have made up his mind because of Gao Gong's words in a conversation with Qi Jiguang, but now he is very indifferent, and he doesn't inquire much about any news, so he took care of himself and went back to rest in Zhaohui Jinggongfang, and even took the time to write a letter to Huang Zhiting who was far away in Siam, while caring about her physical condition, and at the same time explaining the situation on his side, but he didn't ask about Siam.

This is Gao Pragmatic's style, since she said let her deal with it, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to speak, Gao Pragmatic doesn't ask much.

On the second day, not long after Gao Shishi arrived at his own duty room in the military department, a subordinate came in to report that Wu Ge was coming.

The relationship between Wu Dui and Gao Pragmatic is different, the person who passed the news here just told Gao Pragmatic that he actually came in, and when he saw Gao Pragmatic, he said: "Truth-seeking, have you read the emperor's new edict early in the morning?" ”

Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly: "Senior brother said that I was joking, I just arrived at the military department, and I haven't even had time to drink tea, where can I see any edict?" Senior brother is in the cabinet, this edict is naturally read early, but how can the military department be so fast? ”

Wu Dui said "oh", and didn't mind, just waved his hand to let the others go out first, and then sat down under Gao Shipra's greeting, took a breath, and said, "The horse master you chose at the beginning has been promoted." ”

Gao Pragmatic didn't react for a while, and asked in amazement: "Master Horse?" Who is it? ”

Horse Lord? Which horse master, what does it matter to me whether he is promoted or not?

Wu Dui smiled, blinked his eyes, and said, "Truth, you can't be awake yet, right?" Have you chosen a few horses? It's not that Hou Gongchen Hou Duwei. ”

Oh, Hou Gongchen......

Gao Pragmatic suddenly said: "It turned out to be him, what official did he promote?" ”

Wu Dui blinked again, leaned closer, and said mysteriously: "Zongren Mansion Zuo Zongzheng, in charge of government affairs." ”
