After Gao Pragmatic and Liang Menglong discussed the matter of the Praetorian Guard, it was not early, but it was not yet noon, so taking advantage of this free time, he returned to his public room to prepare to write all kinds of detailed rules of the Praetorian Guard.

However, God may like to joke with him today, he just ordered someone to study the ink, and someone outside came to report, saying that Wu Ge was coming, and asked Gao Gongbao to go over to discuss the matter.

Wu Ge Lao is Wu Dui, he entered the cabinet from the Ministry of War, and he is still in charge of the Ministry of War in the cabinet, although he came to the Ministry of War to "inspect" although it is not a routine action, but it is not very strange. However, Gao Pragmatic still felt that he came a little coincidentally, I am afraid that he came not for the matter of Liaofu, but for the fact that he entered the palace yesterday and proposed the formation of the Praetorian Guard.

However, the result was a little unexpected by Gao Shishi's expectations, and when he arrived at the small council hall, as soon as Wu Dui saw him, he beckoned him to sit down and said: "Truth-seeking, Li Song took over the matter of you as Liaofu, Qianji has already told you just now, I won't repeat it." I came today for two things, one is that the emperor has summoned me early and told me about the issue of the Praetorian Guard that you proposed, and I have to come to talk to the two of you;

The second is to tell you one thing: Cao Yanshangshu, the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, said that during the period when Jianzhou Nurhachi was not in Liaodong, he continued to use troops for several months, and he had forced Nikan Wailan to a desperate situation. Nikan Wailan sent three messengers to Cao Yan for help within ten days, and Cao Yan advocated acceptance, but Li Chengliang opposed it. ”

Gao Shishi knew that there should be a time difference when he heard this, and it must have happened during the period when Liaofu was vacant after he stepped down from Liaofu.

The reason is obvious, if it is when he is still in office, then Cao Yan does not need to be sparse, just send someone to ask for instructions from him, and Li Chengliang has no chance to come out to express his opposition - there is a governor here, and it is basically not his turn as a general soldier to express his attitude on the war and issues, let alone a governor who is so stubborn as Gao Shishi.

This principle can also be generalized to Li Song's succession as governor, but Li Song's succession was just announced this morning, so Cao Yan and Li Chengliang's superiors are still here.

If Gao Shishi wants to support Cao Yan's opinion, then there is still a little opportunity left, that is, to take advantage of the opportunity when this is the vacancy period of Liaofu and the power of the matter is returned to the center, and the idea is to get the cabinet to agree and the emperor Zhu to approve, so that even if Li Song supports Li Chengliang after taking over, he will not be able to object.

However, whether Nikan Wailan should be supported or not, Gao Pragmatic himself was also a little hesitant.

If in terms of ability, Nikan Wailan is indeed not suitable for "dominating one side", he is a businessman. This person can score seventy or eighty points in business, and he can barely mix in the passing line of sixty points in the area of Liaodong to play politics, but it would be too stretching to talk about engaging in military affairs, and Gao Pragmatic can give him five points at most - this so-called war five scum is also.

Although ability is not very good, there are many times in this world that you can't just look at ability to determine a person's position and attitude towards him, otherwise what will happen to that group of clans? What about the group of nobles?

Mere idealists cannot engage in politics.

Although Gao Pragmatic felt that Nikan Wailan's ability was not good, he knew that Nikan Wailan's label in the minds of the Jurchens was the lackey of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, "lackey" is not good, but there is a saying that "it depends on the owner to beat the dog", Nurhachi beat Nikan Wailan to this part, if Da Ming, as the "dog owner", does not react at all, it will actually cause a very serious adverse effect.

The Ming Dynasty in history did not deal with this matter, Nikan Wailan fled to the Ming Dynasty's city, and the Ming Dynasty also took him in first, but when Nurhachi ran to ask for the "enemy", the Ming Dynasty border generals actually handed over Nikan Wailan again, and left Nurhachi to dispose of.

What kind of brain-dead operation is this?

You either just don't care about it, saying that this is a dispute within your Jurchens, and my Daming father has no interest in caring about you bullshit - this is not a big problem, and it even seems that Daming's father is big enough and has a transcendent status.

Since you want to take care of it, then you will take care of it to the end, what is it that Nurhachi is here to ask for people? I just don't give what? Even if my dog does something, only I can teach it a lesson! If you are not convinced, do you have the ability to start a soldier now and try it?

Nurhachi now has more than 3,000 soldiers who have broken the sky, and the population is pitifully small, and even Jianzhou has not been able to reunify.

So this incident was a typical mistake in the original history, and now of course it is better not to make it again.

If you don't do it again, there are two ways to go: either you don't leave it alone, or you can manage it to the end.

Gao Pragmatic has a psychological bottom line for Nurhachi's development, allowing him to have a certain amount of development, because if he doesn't develop, he will have no use value, and the most useful one on the Jurchen side is actually Nurhachi, after all, his ability is the strongest.

But this development cannot be endless, because people's ambitions grow with the growth of strength. Nurhachi has already proven how ambitious he is in the original history, and Gao pragmatic will certainly not allow him to easily obtain such good development opportunities in history.

At this time, Wu Dui saw that Gao Pragmatic gradually came back to his senses from his thoughts, and his eyes began to become clear, so he said, "What, have you made a decision?" Although this matter has been neglected to the center, it must be the military department's statement first. You are the ex Liaofu, and your opinion can be said to be the most important. ”

This is almost clear: you decide, my side will not go against you.

Liang Menglong didn't speak, just looked at Gao Shipra, and the meaning was obvious: It's up to you to decide.

Since the two bosses expressed their support, Gao Pragmatic had nothing to hesitate, and said, "Just do what Cao Yan said." Moreover, since this matter is to be done, it must be done thoroughly, although we must not conquer Nurhachi now, so as not to damage the overall situation of the Western Huaidong system, but if we want to protect Nikan Wailan, we must protect it to the end, and we must not sell him again because of other things-that will seriously affect the credibility and prestige of the imperial court in the Jurchen tribes. ”

Wu Dui and Liang Menglong have both been border ministers, and they can fully understand the meaning of Gao Pragmatism, and they nodded yes together when they heard the words.

This matter is over at this point, and the next thing is to talk about the issue of the Praetorian Guard, but it is just to say what I said to Liang Menglong before to Wu Dui again, and there is no need to repeat it.

In the afternoon, Gao Pragmatic really wrote the establishment and various detailed rules of the Praetorian Guard for a while, and then took the time to write a letter to Qi Jiguang, which was regarded as saying hello to him in advance.

This kind of thing can't be a surprise attack, after all, people are still in Daning City, if you don't say hello to him first, and suddenly call him back to Beijing when the time comes, what will happen to the city defense of Daning City? Although according to Liang Menglong, Yang Siwei is also a famous general, Qi Jiguang can't throw such a big mess on others without any preparation, right?

After doing this, it was too late, Gao Shishi went out of the yamen of the military department, got on his green nyun sedan chair and went north. The crown prince Shaobao's guard of honor came out, and after leaving the Desheng Gate, he immediately received it, and took the carriage straight to the Baiyu Tower.

When he rushed back to Baiyulou, there was no trace of the family guards in the large courtyard of Baiyulou, but Huang Zhiting was sitting in the shade of the tree in the front garden on a chaise longue made of pineapple flowers, holding a book in his hand, as if he was reading.

Seeing Gao Shishi come back, Huang Zhiting immediately smiled, put the scroll in his hand on the armrest and greeted him.

"Husband."

Gao pragmatic saw her smiling, and didn't seem to think that there was a big deal in the morning, so he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, waved his hand and signaled the people around him to disperse, and then pulled her to continue to go to the shade of the tree where she had just stayed.

The members of the Gao family consciously moved another recliner over, and Gao pragmatic sat down.

After the family members dispersed, he said helplessly: "Zhiting, are you planning to come to the army this morning in case you don't get my exact news?" ”

Huang Zhiting said with a smile: "What did the husband say, where do I have soldiers now?" ”

Well, there is actually still some, her identity is there, and this time she returned to Beijing with two hundred wolf soldiers as an escort, but only two hundred soldiers...... Even if it's a wolf soldier, it doesn't mean much in a place like Jingshi.

Gao pragmatic squinted at her and said: "I'm not in Baiyulou, Baiyulou is your final say, how many people here can be called 'soldiers', at least now you must know, right?" ”

Huang Zhiting grinned: "Yes, now I know." ”

Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, you thought you could admonish at that time?" ”

Huang Zhiting said with great interest: "Why does my husband think that I just wanted to be a soldier at that time? Will the emperor really arrest you for some reason? ”

Gao pragmatically said: "This is exactly what I want to ask - if you don't think like that, then why did you do that at that time?" ”

"Check it out." Huang Zhiting said innocently: "The Beijing camp has not fought in Beijing for a long time, and finally became like this. Your family guard team is not like the garrison army, which has to be dispatched to quell the rebellion and suppress bandits at every turn, and the mountain bandits near the Beijing Division were wiped out by them a few years ago, and now that they do the math, they are afraid that they have been comfortable for several years? So the concubine wanted to see if they were still the strong soldiers in the mouths of the tea doctors. ”

"That's it?" Gao pragmatic was a little incredulous.

"Hmm...... Mostly, that's the case. ”

"And what about a small part?" Gao pragmatic asked again.

"There is also a small part of me who is really afraid that something has happened to you, so I will gather people to take a look first, and be prepared."

"Doesn't that mean you're worried about the emperor's malice towards me?" Gao pragmatically shook his head and said, "It's impossible—at least not now." ”

"Maybe the emperor won't, but others may not." Huang Zhiting's beautiful eyes seemed to have some ridicule: "For example...... If the Empress Dowager Cisheng knew that her precious daughter had been 'secretly meeting with my husband behind closed doors' in the Baiyu Mansion for so long, it was hard to say whether she would do something unexpected in a fit of anger. ”

Gao was stunned and said, "You ......"

"Is the husband going to ask why the concubine knows about this?"

"Uh......" Gao Shishi coughed lightly in embarrassment: "This matter...... Some of them ......"

Huang Zhiting chuckled lightly and glanced at him: "The concubine didn't plan to ask." ”

Are you going to ask? Gao pragmatic couldn't wait to roll his eyes.

Gao someone, who has always been thick-skinned enough, couldn't help but scratch his head a little, rubbed his nose, and said, "Let me think about when this matter should start." ”

Huang Zhiting was not in a hurry, and even showed a smile, nodded, and sat upright, as if she was ready to listen to a good story.

Gao Shishi coughed dryly and said, "The first time I met Princess Yongning was the year I participated in the Spring Festival after I was lifted in the middle school. I had just arrived in Beijing at the time......"

After a long time, Gao Pragmatic basically finished the story between him and Princess Yongning - of course, skipping some parts that might have caused misunderstandings.

However, Huang Zhiting Bingxue is smart, and there is obviously a lack of cohesion in this story - in fact, there will be these stories between the two of them, and there is a premise that Gao Pragmatic misses but Huang Zhiting knows when he hears it, that is, Princess Yongning herself must have a special friendship with him, otherwise there will be no follow-up at all.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is also a hard-working person." Huang Zhiting straightened a strand of hair on her sideburns, frowned, and said, "This is very troublesome." ”

Gao was stunned for a moment: "What's so troublesome?" ”

Huang Zhiting sighed with some distress: "Husband, there is one thing that the concubine body has already expressed its attitude: it's like saying that the concubine is a concubine or something, and the concubine doesn't care very much. If you are with an ordinary woman—or simply say that as long as you are not a princess, it is okay to care about her—then even if the concubine knows about this today, the concubine will definitely persuade you to directly admit people into the door. ”

"But she's a princess, the eldest princess, how can this work?" Huang Zhiting spread her hands: "The concubine just wants to earn a good reputation, and she can't help her husband get a princess back." ”

Gao Shishi smiled bitterly: "I didn't say I wanted to do this." ”

"Oh, the husband is really a righteous gentleman." Huang Zhiting showed a playful smile: "But Her Royal Highness the princess is a widow, and this 'secret talk' seems to be ......"

"Ahem!" Gao Shishi coughed dryly: "Didn't you say this thing, there is a reason for it, and there is a reason for it." ”

Huang Zhiting still followed his words and nodded: "Yes, there is a reason for it." Then he sighed again: "But what will the emperor think?" ”

"Huh?"

Huang Zhiting spread his hands: "The emperor has said that, and you have a 'secret talk behind closed doors' again, will the emperor think that you have just chatted with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for so long?" ”

Gao Pragmatic was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think about it from this angle.

Huang Zhiting waited for a while, and saw that he seemed to be really stunned, so he sighed: "Husband, your identity in the emperor's mind is only very complicated...... The concubine feels that you should really think about what the emperor's attitude towards you is now, and what is worth noting about yourself. ”

Gao pragmatic nodded.

Thank you for the support of the book friend "Riding Alone and Shining Blue Heart", thank you! (But I can't answer your question, if this kind of thing is directly linked to tipping, it's like reaching out for money.) Expressing gratitude and adding more is really two different things in my heart from reaching out and asking for money. )
