Chapter 046: One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves (I)
Wang Jiaping's statement made Shen Shixing's face change.
His mood at the moment was very different from when he heard Zhang Xueyan call Gao pragmatic "the courage of the world", the latter made him dissatisfied at most, while the former made him nervous.
There is enough aura on Gao Shishi's head, and one more "heavenly courage" is actually just like that, it is nothing more than raising hope to raise a new height. However, the problem is that what Gao Pragmatic lacks now is not fame at all, not even prestige, what he really lacks is almost only qualifications.
The reason why Shen Shixing was able to reluctantly acquiesce to Zhang Xueyan's boasting of Gao Pragmatic is also one of the reasons: no matter how strong your ability is, no matter how famous you are, no matter how long your saints are, your qualifications are still there. A junior who was born in the Wanli Eighth Year Gold List cannot let you enter the cabinet now.
Shen Shixing's idea is actually not complicated: as long as Gao Shixing does not enter the cabinet, there will always be a "double core" problem in their practical school. Even if Xu Guo, the second assistant in the cabinet, is willing to cooperate with Gao Pragmatic in many things, it is impossible to listen to Gao Pragmatic's orders in everything no matter what, and at the same time, Gao Pragmatic will not give up his real power and do what Xu Guo thinks.
Xu Guo is limited to his status and can't completely bow his head, is he pragmatic......
Shen Shixing could see that this was a person who usually seemed quiet, but in fact his heart was very firm, but his set was too "pioneering", and even Xu Guo didn't dare to follow him every time.
Although they are important and even core figures of the same faction, their political views may not be completely identical. In Shen Shixing's eyes, this is the place that can be used, and whether there is a chance to use it is another matter.
Therefore, it doesn't make much sense to continue to improve the reputation of high pragmatism at the moment, just as how much water can be filled in the same barrel does not depend on the longest board, but on the shortest board, and the shortcoming of high pragmatism is seniority, which is difficult to make up for from outside time.
Therefore, Shen Shixing was only a little dissatisfied with Zhang Xueyan's words, but he was not nervous.
But Wang Jiaping expressed his support for high pragmatism, which is different, this is a very bad direction.
Wang Jiaping was able to enter the cabinet this time, which was originally a compromise between him and Gao Pragmatic. Let's not talk about Gao Shixing's pragmatic thoughts for the time being, at least the reason why Shen Shixing was able to agree was mainly because Wang Jiaping had a bad temper, and he always adhered to his own views in politics and never attached himself to anyone.
But who would have thought that how long it had been since he began to support Gao Pragmatic in a clear manner!
Shen Shixing had to take precautions and think about the purpose of Wang Jiaping's move. Is he simply because he agrees with Gao Pragmatic on this matter, or has he already made a choice between the two schools of practical learning and mental learning?
If it's just the former, then forget it, after all, Gao Pragmatic is sparse today, and the courtiers, regardless of their rank, are afraid that they will have to make a statement, either for support or against, and it is difficult to maintain the so-called "neutrality" - because Gao Pragmatic's spearhead is against the clan, and it is not to engage in party strife among the courtiers, what are you doing neutrally?
With such a big national policy adjustment, don't you have any idea at all? Then what is the emperor raising you for, he has so much money that he has nowhere to spend it?
But if it's the latter, then it's a big problem. Originally, it was already a compromise to get Wang Jiaping into the cabinet, but Shen Shixing's original plan was to hold Pan Sheng first, and then let Pan Sheng recommend Wang Xijue before leaving, so that Wang Xijue's entry into the cabinet was almost a sure thing, so that Shen Shixing had a right-hand man in the cabinet to break the "encirclement" of the Shixue faction, and he would never fight alone again.
It's just that there was an accident later, Gao Pragmatic was unexpectedly tough, forcing Shen Shixing to shrink back, and as a last resort, he had to "take half a step back" with Gao Pragmatic, and made a Wang Jiaping, who was born in Shanxi but was not a member of the Jin Party, to make up the number.
However, in Shen Shixing's view, Wang Jiaping can make up the numbers, but if he relies on high pragmatism, it is completely unacceptable. Because once this happens, it means that his situation in the cabinet is even worse than when Pan Sheng was there. Pan Sheng was originally a neutral, but later he was co-opted by himself - or controlled by the Zheshang Group, but if Wang Jiaping, a neutral faction, turned against Gao Pragmatism, wouldn't he be a blood loss?
What's more, it is not surprising that the Zhejiang Entrepreneurs Alliance can control Pan Sheng, who is from Zhejiang, but that doesn't mean that they can also help themselves control Wang Jiaping, who is from Shanxi!
Shen Shixing's face was not only ugly, but even a little distracted, until Xu Guo's voice sounded on the side: "Yuan Fu? Motosuke? ”
"Huh?" Shen Shixing came to his senses, quietly exhaled a breath of turbidity, calmed down, and asked, "What?" ”
Xu Guo said calmly: "The four cabinet ministers such as me have all agreed with Gao Qiuzhen's superiority, and it is time for Yuan Fu to make up his mind." ”
Xu Yingyang! You're a good talker!
Shen Shixing was angry in his heart: The four of you agreed, so you still ask a fart! Could it be that I should be left alone to stand on the side of the group of waste clans that eat nearly two million taels of silver a year? Do I still want to gain a foothold in the court?
At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he sincerely admired Gao Shiren.
High truth-seeking, high truth-seeking, you are really good at finding opportunities and angles. Take this group of clans and clans, and all the officials in the world, whether they are Beijing officials or foreign officials, do they all have to applaud you?
Even if it is that group of nobles, I am afraid that they are also gloating and happy to see it happen - they do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, why did Lao Tzu be inspected by Gaoxin Zheng and Guo Anyang at the beginning, and one by one they could only break the wealth and eliminate disasters and give up so many fields, and you clans have nothing to do, and even when the emperor has set an example and conceded a large number of imperial villages, you still don't pull out a hair?
Everyone is resting with the country, of course, we must be blessed and enjoy hardships together! We lost so much and didn't say any nonsense (of course, the main thing is that we are tied up in business by high pragmatism, and we are worried about losing big because of small things), so you can't mean it?
Therefore, Shen Shixing suddenly discovered that Gao Shixing's dismissal this time, although it was the first time that the ministers of the court proposed to open the ban on the domain, but in fact, he was very safe!
As long as the civil officials in the world have not boiled water in their heads, they will never oppose him, but will only open their throats and shout for support to the end; The nobles of the two capitals will not object, and they are even likely to stand up and express their support clearly - the military ministers are also courtiers, the finances of the imperial court are rich, and even if the civil officials flow a little out of their fingers, it is a good thing for them to go out and pick up treasures and make a fortune in vain, why not?
As for the clansmen, they may have been offended by Gao Pragmatic at this time......
Shen Shixing thought about it and felt that it might not be.
Now the clans are actually polarized, the fat ones are fat, the thin ones are so thin that they dig into the meat, Gao Pragmatic has lifted the ban on the domain, and the so-called lieutenants who are almost as poor as Hanako but can't support themselves have to be grateful to Gao Pragmatic. After all, Gao Pragmatism not only allows them to make a living on their own, and they don't have to live on this bit of Zonglu every day for the rest of their lives, but also gives them an initial amount of money.
It's not that Shen Shixing thinks too much, he has evidence. Just a few years ago, there was a pair of "Zhenguo Lieutenant" father and son who were so poor that they couldn't open the pot at home under the Zhou Wangfu in Henan, because they were accused of going to the Zongren Mansion because they openly discussed the government in front of the court (there was a clear ban on the discussion of politics in the clan), and finally got their wish and mixed a long-term meal ticket "sent to Fengyang for imprisonment".
Obviously, the father and son committed a deliberate crime, because the so-called government they discussed was just a trivial matter, and it had nothing to do with their clan's money. This thing itself is not worth mentioning, but due to the regulations of the "feudal ban", doing this thing is the result of captivity for a lifetime, so they are safely mixed with a lifetime of meal tickets, although they are certainly not free to go to prison, but at least they will not starve to death.
This is a true portrayal of the life of the low-level clan.
It is conceivable that such a clan would be overjoyed if they knew that Gao Pragmatic would not only allow them to make a living freely, but would even give at least one hundred taels of silver to the capital! Maybe I can't wait to build a shrine for Gao Shishi.
The ones who really offended him were probably the princes, the princes and their sons. Gao pragmatic blocked the scope of their feudal princes and limited the number of people for them, which must have made them unhappy.
But what if the vassal kings are unhappy? Are you planning to come to discuss politics and mix up a ticket to Fengyang Prison, or are you simply planning to rebel and send your head to Beijing to visit the emperor?
Don't dare? Don't dare to stay honestly, and it's not to cut your Zonglu, the court is already very polite!
In this way, the only danger that Gao Pragmatic has to face is whether the emperor will think that he is destroying the "kissing" relationship of the emperor's clan. However, Shen Shixing thinks about it now and feels that this article is unlikely to be true.
According to Zhang Cheng's analysis before, the biggest source of high pragmatism is to help the emperor solve problems, so if you push back, you can see that although this high pragmatic move seems abnormal, it is because it is abnormal, so it is very likely that the emperor hinted at him.
Gao Pragmatic is a servant of Rong Zheng, neither the Ministry of Rites nor the Ministry of Households, the Zonglu issue itself is none of his business, and he has no reason to suddenly jump out to play such a play.
Shen Shixing narrowed his eyes slightly, and said secretly: It turns out that the driving force behind this matter is actually the emperor himself...... Okay, okay, this pair of classmates joined hands, but they really didn't recognize their relatives.
"Since you all think that you should be on time, you can rest assured. In this case, I will write this ticket personally, so that the emperor can know the attitude of us and the other officials-the ban on the feudal domain should have been lifted a long time ago. ”
Wu Dui was slightly surprised, and subconsciously asked, "Yuan Fu also thinks so?" ”
Shen Shixing smiled: "Of course, of course." As Brother Yingyang and Brother Nan (Wang Jiaping's number to Nan) said, this matter should have been initiated by our cabinet ministers. It is a dereliction of duty to fail to advocate today, since Gao Qiuzhen is straightforward, how can we not attach the tail and participate in the grand event? In my opinion, not only should we vote for it, but it is best for us to meet the emperor together and clearly state and explain the benefits and disadvantages to the emperor -- this important event in the world cannot be delayed because of 'kissing'. ”
Everyone saw Shen Shixing's demeanor before, obviously not very happy, but now that such a big change suddenly came, everyone was naturally a little surprised.
However, none of the people present are children, of course they will not think that Shen Yuanfu has been led astray by not thinking about it for a while, on the contrary, Shen Yuanfu must have straightened everything out during the period when he was distracted just now.
This can also be seen from his sudden suggestion that all the ministers come together to meet - this is to steal merit!
Or at least it should be said that I want to share some of the fame brought by the highly pragmatic "Please Open the Domain"!
It's sensible.
Since I can't stop it, I'll just go with you. Even if you eat the meat in the end, I'll at least get a mouthful of soup, better than standing by and watching your mouth run full of oil while your stomach growls with hunger.
Sure enough, they are all foxes who have grown into essences for many years, and no one is easy to deceive.
Xu Guo, Zhang Xueyan, and Wu Dui glanced at each other, although they didn't nod to each other, they all understood what each other meant.
"What Motosuke said is right." Xu Guo smiled and said: "The stakes are very high, since the cabinet has unified its opinions, it is indeed time to jointly meet and explain the truth to the emperor." ”
The first assistant and the second assistant both said so, and the matter was decided, and at that moment several cabinet elders explained their own government affairs, and waited for Shen Shixing to write the ticket, and then sent someone to inform the celebrant and ask the emperor for permission to meet him.
Zhu Yijun was anxiously waiting for the cabinet's reaction in the Qianqing Palace, but when he heard that all the cabinet ministers were asking to see him together, he thought that the cabinet was collectively opposed, and he couldn't help but sweat in shock.
Fortunately, today it is Huang Mengyu who personally sits in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, he is a person who is thick and fine, and he specially asked the faces of several elders of the Xiaohuangmen who had passed his head, knowing that they were definitely not "forcing the palace" here, so he also conveyed this news to Chen Ju.
Chen Ju saw that the emperor's face had changed, so he naturally guessed what was going on, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words, Zhu Yijun let out a breath of turbidity, relaxed, and ordered: "That's good, let a few gentlemen do it...... Well, I'll be there in the Wenhua Hall for a while."
He originally wanted to say that he would let the elders come to the Qianqing Palace to meet him, but thinking about it, the elders were walking slowly, and the Qianqing Palace was far away from the cabinet, so it was better to let them come over to show that the emperor was not sympathetic to the auxiliary ministers, so it was better to go to the Wenhua Palace.
The place in Wenhua Hall was very close to the cabinet, and secondly, it was also the place he was most familiar with, and staying there was as if Gao Shishi was also by his side to support him, and he felt the most down-to-earth in his heart, so the words changed when he came to his mouth.
The meeting between the emperor and the cabinet was temporary, and at this time, the news of Gao Shi's "Please open the feudal domain" had already spread from the sieve-like general administration department to the outer court, and all the ministries had already received the news.
After the news spread, it was much more lively than when I was in the cabinet just now.
