Chapter 261: Preparing for a "Private Meeting"
When he came out of Chen Ju's house, Gao Shishi's mood was much better than before, and all kinds of doubts had been solved, although he received a completely inexplicable "errand" that he didn't know where to start, but after all, his head seemed to be very stable, and it was worth celebrating.
Of course, on the surface, he still had a heavy face, and even called it painful, so that as soon as he went out, Gao Mo lowered his voice very nervously and asked, "Master, is the situation not good?" Do you want to inform the Shin Zhai and Tianjin Port authorities to prepare for the 'Eh Plan'? ”
Of course, "Plan A" is not this "eh", but it is actually called "Plan A", which is an escape plan that Gao Shishi began to arrange several years ago. This plan was largely completed after the pacification of Annam.
The original premise of this plan was that in the event of a major setback in the pragmatic reforms, which had already led to a great danger to his personal safety, the Jinghua Department would use his forces in and around the Jingshi to quickly transfer him, and the target was Annan.
The notice that Gao Mo said was to see Xinzhai and Tianjin Port, and he was escorting the riders while preparing for the sea ship to respond. Even the notifications themselves have a "password".
As soon as they saw that Xinzhai and Tianjin Port received an urgent report from the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "Either jump into the abyss and be blameless," they must immediately deploy according to the previous plan, but they did not know what this deployment was for.
The phrase "or jump in the abyss, no blame" comes from "Zhou Yi Qiangua": "Ninety-four: or jump in the abyss, no blame." And "Zhou Yi" is the book of the high-level pragmatic examination.
The original meaning of this sentence is also simple, that is, the dragon sometimes flies, sometimes dives, and what it is like depends on the form of the time.
And if it is linked to the context, it is: ninety-four, (dragon) or leaping in the abyss, no blame. Ninety-five, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adult. The dragons of Ninety-Four, which are not explicitly specified, are due to the appearance of two kinds of dragons. One is the dragon in the ninety-fourth, because it jumped to the ground in advance, but did not reach the fact, so it did not become a dragon weapon. The second is that he has already become a dragon, but because there is a real dragon in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the position is right, and the time is in the middle, so he can only jump into the abyss and not fight, in order to complete the Dragon of the Ninety-Five.
Therefore, even if it is just a "password" to launch an escape plan, it also has a hidden meaning: the former "jumping to the ground in advance, not becoming a dragon" refers to the failure of the reform and cannot be stopped; The latter may have succeeded in reform, but the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" real dragon could not tolerate him, and he could only go. The possibility of this article is equivalent to "rabbit dead dog cooking", but Gao pragmatic does not intend to be a dead dog.
The main person in charge of this escape plan is Gao Mo, and in Gao Mo's opinion, the current situation is that the emperor may suspect that his lord has a personal affair with the widowed eldest princess, theoretically speaking, this must be a capital crime, and now that the lord's expression is so heavy, it is obvious that the situation is very bad, so of course we have to consider the worst-case scenario, and respond quickly enough.
But Gao Pragmatic's reaction completely exceeded Gao Mo's expectations, although Gao Pragmatic's face was still the one that was almost about to die generously, but his tone was very relaxed: "I suspect that someone may be watching me day and night now, this dead man's face is for those people to see, you don't have to panic, I'm fine, it's fine." ”
Gao Mo reacted quickly, and immediately understood what Gao pragmatic meant, and with a sad face, he nodded and made a submissive look, as if he had just been taught a few words, and said, "Got it, master." However, since the master suspects that someone is watching, do you want to ask the cousin and cousin to help......"
The old man and the cousin refer to the senior secretary and Wang Zhizhen in Jinyiwei, these two took advantage of the high and pragmatic east wind, hitched a ride on Chen Ju and Chen Dugong, and in a short period of time, they were very popular in Jinyiwei, and they already had a group of teams under their hands. Especially Wang Zhizhen, this guy is very good at getting things done, and he also has a lot of "power in the rivers and lakes" - in fact, it is the power of gangs, fights, etc. [The Ming Dynasty's "beating line" has already been explained in Volume 1 of this book.] ]
Don't look at Wang Zhizhen in Gao Shishi's eyes, he is just a cousin who relies on his care, in fact, people's identities are very bad in the "rivers and lakes", except for the super gang of the Cao Gang, which is easy to move, and ordinary ordinary gangs will really only kneel and lick when they see him.
But Gao Pragmatic didn't plan to use them now, he just shook his head slightly: "The two of them have someone available in their hands, but the people of Jinyiwei ...... Hehe, there is me in the enemy, and there may be an enemy in me. Especially this time, the people who use them are afraid that it is better not to use them. ”
Gao Mo understood, and his face sank slightly: "The master is ...... mean?"
However, Gao pragmatic didn't speak, and went directly into the sedan chair.
Gao Mo was pondering what the old man meant, and a pragmatic voice came from the sedan chair: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs will send someone to check it yourself, but pay attention to it, because Dongchang may also have to interfere." Do not engage in conflict with them, nor join forces with them...... If the East Factory moves this time, it must be on the emperor's order, not Chen Ju's arrangement. ”
"Yes, sir, the little one understands." Gao Mo replied.
If it is Chen Ju's arrangement, of course the Ministry of Internal Affairs can join hands with Dongchang to investigate, because Chen Ju has long been tied to Gao Pragmatic on a rope, and unless he plans to put himself in, he will definitely not sell Gao Pragmatic.
But if Dongchang is only ordered by the emperor to investigate, the emperor may temporarily select some people to join, if the Ministry of Internal Affairs still joins forces, it will at least expose some of the strength of the Ministry of Internal Affairs itself, which is very inappropriate.
Different from the same Zhang Juzheng and Feng Baodoufa back then, with his current status and power in a pragmatic manner, he will not ask too specific things at this time, but just give various tasks and wait for the information to be summarized in a comprehensive analysis.
However, after Gao pragmatic returned to the champion, he didn't really get chic, because when he thought of the task given by Zhu Yijun, he felt that his head was as big as a fight.
It is not difficult to make a little girl happy, and it has always been such a method. If you look at the popular president article for a period of time in later generations, you can see that the "needs" of the little girls are nothing more than handsome and golden, and if there is still some special style, it will be even better.
There is no shortage of these things in high pragmatism.
It's hard to say whether he is handsome or not, but at least people have admired him in the early years, and there must always be some bonus; Needless to say, he is now qualified to ridicule even the treasury of the household department; As for the style...... He is the champion of the six heads, if you really want to play, are you afraid that you won't be able to play a flower?
But there are three troubles at the moment: first, this matter is not "free love" now, it is almost an errand for Gao Pragmatic, and the subjective initiative is really insufficient; The second is that he was framed by someone with a heart when he only entered Changchun Palace once, and if he went to "meet the princess privately" again, it would be a bit of a short-sighted demeanor; Third, if you really do this, what should you say when you face Huang Zhiting, who has worked hard to lead troops on an expedition of thousands of miles?
In particular, this last one is the most difficult for Gao Pragmatism.
Although Huang Zhiting is a woman of this era, she may not have any overreaction because of this, but the lack of overreaction is only because of the influence of her education, which does not mean that she really doesn't mind in her heart.
Gao Pragmatic never believed that there were really women who were "not jealous", and the so-called jealousy was nothing more than a refusal to show jealousy. Think about it from another perspective, will there be a man who is willing to serve two men with one wife? This is the same principle.
Of course, the social reality of Daming is here, even if Gao Pragmatic accepts a concubine a day, he will be privately talked about at most, even if Huang Zhiting marries him, most of them will not be entangled in this issue, but he has a hurdle in his own heart that is not easy to pass.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Pragmatic suddenly came up with an idea: Maybe there is no need to be like Zhu Yijun thought?
Princess Yongning is actually just a sixteen-year-old girl, and she grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, so she has no ghost love experience at all. In addition, judging from her previous performance, she should still attach great importance to those things such as etiquette and etiquette, maybe she is just a simple love for herself, and she has not thought about what kind of relationship beyond etiquette and religion will happen?
If you just be a confidant, it doesn't seem to affect anything?
Thinking about it this way, Gao Pragmatic had a reason to convince himself, and he couldn't help but feel much more comfortable. Anyway, Zhu Yijun just asked to make his sister happier, and didn't say what he had to do.
So how can you make her happier? At this time, a normal little girl's family will probably like to spend more time with the ideal man, do whatever she wants, and be happy even if it is just small talk.
But in this way, the problem turns back to the second trouble: it's not easy to meet now!
If you continue to go to the palace and be "exposed" again, it will be ...... Eh, wait, why do you have to go into the palace, can't she just come out by herself?
I am a high-ranking official of the third grade when I enter the palace, and it is impossible to do any disguise, but if she comes out of the palace instead, she can slip out of the palace maid, eunuch or the like!
As soon as the reverse thinking was opened, Gao Pragmatic suddenly became enlightened: Although the person standing in the dark now must be spying on me, his eyes must be focused on me, for the situation in the palace, he is very likely to secretly spy on Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju, at most a few palace gates and the like, but there should be no spare energy to spy on Princess Yongning herself - this is too taboo.
And take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he really has the strength and guts, and even finds out that Princess Yongning sneaked out of the palace, so what? You dare to break my news that I went to Changchun Palace to meet the princess, but you dare to break the princess's news that she sneaked out to meet with me?
It's a different nature!
The former is my pragmatism and boldness, and the latter ...... That's a royal scandal!
Dare to break this material, isn't it equivalent to forcing Zhu Yijun to dig three feet into the ground and kill people!
Since this mastermind behind the scenes can see that I am really more powerful than other courtiers, it lies in the absolute trust of the emperor, so his "precision strike" this time is aimed at the word "trust". Correspondingly, with his level, it must be impossible not to know that exploding the princess's material is equivalent to killing himself.
The idea is clear, it doesn't mean that you have to send someone to contact the princess to ask her to come out now, after all, although Gao Pragmatic has been a little idle in the past few days, he is not really idle enough to chat with a little girl every day, so he still has to prepare the business to talk about before contacting.
At present, the main business between him and Princess Yongning is the matter of the princess fund, which is the issue of the so-called Lady Academy.
This school, according to the highly pragmatic plan, is actually the "strengthened women's class" of the Jinghua Craftsman School.
When Princess Yongning mentioned this issue yesterday, Gao Shishi was unprepared in advance, so he also put forward some basic suggestions, such as adding subjects such as female red and silk reeling on the basis of literacy and reading. However, after he left the palace, he thought about it and felt that he could add a little more other projects.
For example, the principle of textile machinery.
Because Gao Pragmatic knows the basic principle of Jenny spinning machine, now the Tussah silk industry in Liaodong has used a copy of Jenny spinning machine, but also because Gao Pragmatic only knows the basic application of the shuttle in the spinning machine, so this kind of promising thing does not have much possibility of progress at present.
Although Zhu Zaiyu, the actual chief scientist of Jinghua, is powerful, a person's energy is limited after all, and there are still many things waiting for him to further study. In addition, he is a person from the prince of the king, and he does not know enough about the work of spinning, so Gao Pragmatic did not put this matter into his work progress.
Now Gao Shishi thinks that it is better to add the principle of the spinning machine, including the application of the shuttle, to the ladies' school, and take advantage of their frequent operation of related machinery to see if there can be a female inventor who can improve the spinning and weaving machinery.
Gao Pragmatic did not travel to Europe, and it is impossible to gather those bigwigs who have promoted scientific and technological progress to serve him, so his current thinking can only be to cast a wide net, and whether there are fish or not depends on luck. However, according to the experience of later generations, even if the proportion of geniuses is low, as long as the network is large, it can still be obtained.
He knew that he was a liberal arts student with limited inventory after all, and he only knew some basic principles for many things, whether it was specific development or improvement, in the final analysis, it depended on all kinds of talents in this era, so he founded the craftsman school. Of course, the same principle can also be applied to the Lady School.
If he really understands everything, why hasn't Jinghua Glass's project come up with a product that he is satisfied with so far? Even the principle of the steam engine is very simple, why didn't he figure it out?
If you don't want to, you can't hear it.
If he can do it if he knows the principle, then he also knows the principle of the internal combustion engine! But can you do it? In my dreams, I might be able to.
There are many similar situations, such as the problem of building warships.
Gao Pragmatic had been fascinated by the history of the Age of Discovery for a period of time in his previous life, and he also looked for books to read some knowledge about various types of sail battleships, if he only talked about theory, he could even draw a section of a three-deck battleship and a rough design of the hull, but in fact, after the masters of Jinghua saw it, they directly told him that he couldn't build it now.
As a result, the design and construction plans of the first, second, and third class sail battleships proposed by Gao Pragmatic were all rejected by the shipyard, and in the end only the two-stage sail cruiser was created.
Because the shipyard told him that it would be difficult to solve the keel problem of such a large battleship, not to mention that the battleship with three-deck guns would definitely cause the center of gravity to be too high, and the shaking amplitude at sea would be too large, which would lead to various problems such as low gun accuracy, and if these problems were not solved, it would be a waste of good wood to build such a ship.
Regarding the problem that the keel is too large and difficult to do, in fact, Gao Pragmatic has seen a technical summary of the splicing keel before, but because it is too professional, he didn't understand it very well at the time, only knew that there was such a technology, but he didn't know how to make the spliced keel reach the strength of the whole keel.
Therefore, for this kind of quite professional thing, he hopes to see if he can come up with a few geniuses after extensively cultivating relevant talents, rather than doing it himself.
The master led the way into the door, and the practice was in the individual. There is not much he can do to help directly, and it will all depend on talent training in the future.
After sorting out the affairs of the Lady Academy, Gao Pragmatic felt that it was now time to invite Her Royal Highness the Princess to have a private meeting......
