When Gao Pragmatic walked into Gao Gong's room, Gao Gong was holding a paper manuscript and could see it, at this moment his face seemed to be a little gloomy, and even a little lost, even Gao Pragmatic called him, he didn't react.

A little surprised to walk to Gao Gong's side, Gao pragmatic probe to take a look, but saw that the handwriting on the paper was quite familiar, iron and silver hooks, elegant and implied strength.

Gao Shishi became interested, took a closer look, and saw that it was written: "Today's Ziji is secret, who is with Cheng Wangxian?" His appointed duke, not under the Duke of Zhou, at home and abroad, all of them resisted and sang the praises of Shengde. That is, Yu Yuxia, fortunately from the queen, to participate in the national politics, five years in the Z, the public every heart to obey, the palace affairs, all to consult, the period in Zhou, the call of the friendship of the auxiliary, in order to reward the royal family, this god knows also. ”

He had just seen this, Gao Gong had already discovered his existence, and suddenly said loudly: "This is the "Protégé for the Teacher in the Sixty Birthday of Xuan Gao Gong" written by Zhang Taiyue for me on my sixtieth birthday last year, at that time you have returned to Xinzheng for the exam, haven't you read it?" Well, look at it. ”

Gao Shishi's heart moved, and he took the manuscript and read it. After a while, he put down the manuscript and smiled: "Zhang Ge Lao compares the third uncle to the Duke of Zhou, and compares himself to the Duke of Zhao? Interesting......"

Gao Gong felt that his nephew had something to say, frowned slightly, and asked: "Zhou and Zhao Ergong assisted him to become the king, and he made immortal achievements, and he was praised for thousands of years...... What, you think it's wrong? ”

Gao Pragmatic stretched out his hand and gently flicked the manuscript paper, and said: "The merits of Zhou and Zhao Ergong are well known to the world, and at that time last year, the cabinet happened to be only the two of you auxiliary ministers in office, and he had this comparison, which was ordinary, but it was ......."

Gao Gong's heart moved, and asked, "But what?" ”

"It's just that there is a cloud in "Shangshu": 'Zhou Gong is the teacher, Zhao Gong is the guarantee, the king is the left and right, and the Zhao Gong does not say (Tongyue)'......" Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows lightly, revealing an indescribable smile: "The Zhao Gong in the past was displeased, and the Zhao Gong today is probably even more displeased, right?" Why did the third uncle only think about the second duke's contribution to the king, and ignore Zhaogong's dissatisfaction with Zhou Gong? ”

Gao Gong was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "I've been thinking about it recently, Taiyue and I have been friends for many years, and we have been friends with each other, what kind of friendship is that...... When did the two of us get to where we are today? ”

In fact, Gao Pragmatic already had an answer to this question in his heart, but he didn't want to show it, so he pretended to think about it before he said: "Does the third uncle remember the edict that Duke Xu Huating drafted for the first emperor?" ”

Gao Gong's face sank, and he said coldly: "Naturally remember." ”

"The edict drafted by the Duke of Huating, a reversal of the actions of the first emperor during the Great Rites Discussion, will restore all the people who were degraded because of the Great Rites Discussion, and then the third uncle returned to power, and reversed this matter...... Third uncle, don't forget, the person who proposed the edict at that time was not only Xu Huating, but also Zhang Jiangling. ”

The high arch was abrupt, and then abrupt.

In the past, Sejong had belittled many people because of the Great Rites Discussion, and after Sejong's death, Xu Jie used this group of people with a testament, and later Gao Gong was in power, opposed Xu Jie's disposal, and deposed them again.

At that time, Gao Gongshu said, "Minglun ceremony, promulgated for a long time, the ministers of today's deliberations, pretend to be edicts, all those who offend the ceremony, all follow the praise, will make the spirit of the emperor in the temple, how to enjoy?" The spirit of the first emperor in the sky, what is the heart? And when His Majesty entered the temple when he was young, why did he deal with the two saints of Yue? I didn't think so. "The dedication to the emperor here refers to Jiajing's father and Longqing's grandfather, which is Jiajing's posthumous seal, and the so-called great gift of the Great Gift is this matter. As for the first emperor, he naturally refers to Jiajing.

Gao Gong's words were before Sejong's death, because he believed in the so-called elixir provided by Wang Jin, Tao Fang, Tao Shien, Liu Wenbin, and Gao Shouzhong, so that they were promoted one by one. After Sejong's death, Xu Jie's so-called Jiajing edict was imputed to them, so the group was imprisoned and awaited execution.

From the first year of Longqing to the fourth year of Longqing, the situation was delayed, until the high arch was restored, and it was said: "The king of the people is in a fate, and he will not end up, and his name is not beautiful." The first emperor was in the palace for forty-five years, more than sixty years old, sick in the last years, after the age of the guest, the end of the life examination order, there was no violence. Now it is said that the first emperor was harmed by Wang Jin, and he was falsely accused of not ending up, why did the future generations of the world regard the first emperor as the lord? Beggar the law to change the proposal! ”

It means that although the first emperor favored Fangshi, he did not die at a young age, he was over the age of sixteen at that time, who can prove that he ate the elixir and died? If according to what you say, then the first emperor will inevitably bear a stigma, what are your intentions in doing this?

Alienated, Long Qing believed in Gao Gong's judgment as always, although he had no feelings for his father in his heart, but he had no feelings, this was also his own Laozi, for no reason to let his father's reputation be ruined by the courtiers, what good was it for himself? No. So, Longqing immediately approved what Gao Gong said, so Wang Jin and others were saved from death and changed their mouths to the people.

Gao Pragmatic saw that Gao Gong understood what he meant, and said: "Third uncle, we all know that this kind of thing is actually just the opinion of the ministers, but in addition to Xu Huating, who presided over the edict of Sejong, there was also Zhang Taiyue. This edict was later overturned by you, we don't care about how Xu Huating felt at that time, but Zhang Taiyue's feelings are not very good. ”

He paused slightly, pointed to the manuscript in his hand, and said: "Look at what he said in this article, 'Emperor Su (Sejong Temple) gave Gu an order based on a jade number, and the world heard of it, and the commentator is a sin and a scholar, slandering the emperor, shirking his own responsibility, the public is to resist and distinguish between them, and the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, father and son, if the sun and the moon are revealed, it will also be '- this is from your position, slapping his own mouth!'" Third uncle, you know Zhang Ge the most about his life, in your opinion, he is a person who can swallow his anger? ”

"Of course he wasn't." Gao Gong already fully understood what Gao pragmatic meant, and sighed: "You are right, it seems that when I rebelled against the edict, he already resented me...... Now that I think about it, I'm a little surprised that he can put up with me for so long. ”

Who knew that Gao Pragmatic shook his head at this time and said: "My nephew thinks that this is not due to character, but to the overall situation." The third uncle has the emperor's unsparing support, Zhang Ge asked himself that he had no chance of winning, so he would naturally not act rashly, he would rather slap himself than jump out to seek his own death. ”

"And now?" Gao Gong showed a sneer, picked up a note from the side, and said: "Liu Fenyong and others, if no one instructs them, how dare they dare to scold Huai at me like this?" ”

Liu Fenyong is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 38 years, and he was also born in Yudi. In his early years, he was appointed as the head of the military department, and soon he was reappointed to the Ministry of Rites, and he was also the edict of Hanlin, and he served in Mu Zongyudi, and was promoted to a foreign officer. Longqing ascended the throne, and because of Yudi's old kindness, he was promoted to Shang Baoqing. Since then, the former ministers of the feudal mansion have been granted authority and reused, but Liu Fenyong has not been promoted for a long time.

Liu Fenyong has no promotion, one is that his ability is average, the emperor is not impressed by him, and the other is that his qualifications are too shallow - even Zhang Juzheng is a Jinshi in Jiajing's twenty-six years, but he is only a Jinshi in Jiajing's thirty-eight years, and he is a full four subjects late, so it is actually a very common situation that there is no promotion.

But Liu Fenyong himself was very dissatisfied, especially after Gao Gong Zhangquan did not promote him, he was even more dissatisfied.

Gao pragmatically estimated that the reason why Zhang Juzheng spent three or four days to bring Liu Fenyong to find the stubble of the high arch was also because Liu Fenyong was a seamed egg, but he was a little afraid of the high arch.

dissatisfied with the high arch, so it is called a seamed egg; was a little afraid, so Zhang Juzheng needed to spend a few days convincing him. What's more, in the end, Liu Fenyong didn't dare to name him - although this is meaningless, anyone with a discerning eye knows that what he refers to in his text is Gao Gong.

Gao pragmatic said: With a small broad, and so timid, it seems that it is really an unsuccessful weapon.

However, Gao Pragmatic is too lazy to evaluate Liu Fenyong now, and in the face of Gao Gong's question, Gao Pragmatic just replied: "Now, Zhang Ge probably thinks that the emperor's dragon body is not good, and I am afraid that there will be unspeakable changes soon, so he plans to set off a trend first." ”

When he saw Gao Gong hearing "I'm afraid there will be unspeakable changes soon", his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but pause slightly, and then continued: "He bets that the emperor doesn't have the energy to take care of these things now, and the third uncle is worried about the emperor...... There is no risk, and I don't dare to have too many countermeasures at this time. In this way, he can gradually change his position, take off the hat of 'high party ally' on his head, and instead stand on the opposite side of Sanbo, unite those who are dissatisfied with Sanbo, and form a group that can compete with Sanbo. ”

Gao Gong's eyes flashed, and Sen Ran asked rhetorically: "I don't dare to counteract?" ”

Gao pragmatic smiled: "Dare naturally, but my nephew still insists on the view of that night: yes, but it's not necessary." ”

"Why?" Gao Gong stared at him with high arch eyes: "You also said that the emperor's dragon body is not safe, and he doesn't necessarily have the energy to take care of it." And I, hehe, deal with Liu Fenyong and the like, and I can make a decision in one word. ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "It's just Liu Fenyong, killing chickens with a knife?" Like Liu Fenyong, he pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and he didn't even dare to call for war in an open and honest manner, where could he succeed? So my nephew thought that Zhang Ge Lao's method was by no means so simple - we had better wait a little longer, it was better to ...... Lure the snake out of the hole. ”
