Investigate and find a suitable talent in Guo Daxing County, attached to Jingshi, as a candidate for "preparing a horse", this matter is quite important in the emperor's view, and it is not particularly important in Gao Shi's view.

After all, according to the bottom that Zhu Yijun gave him, it is enough to choose one person in the eighth year of the Wan calendar, because the wedding time of the third princess was set by the Empress Dowager Li in the ninth year of the Wan calendar, and the time is quite sufficient.

Gao Pragmatism's main task at present is to act as a lubricant between Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei, with the purpose of contributing to the stability of the overall situation of the imperial court - well, this is nonsense, the real purpose is to stabilize the overall situation of the Gao Party, and not to stimulate the mind too much.

These two purposes, in general, are in conflict.

If we want to stabilize the overall situation of the party, it is not just enough for Gao Pragmatic to come forward and do internal lubrication, but internal lubrication can only temporarily cover up the contradictions, but cannot eliminate the contradictions at a deep level. The key to eliminating contradictions, or at least temporarily, lies in having a new cake to distribute.

The so-called "high party" is of course a political group with practical learning as its guiding ideology, but practical learning only emphasizes the application of the world, enriching the country and strengthening the army, and it does not emphasize being a public servant of the people.

But the official system of the imperial court is always in the form of a pyramid, the higher the position, the less the position, all of them are a radish and a pit, if you want to fill it, it is bound to occupy someone else's pit, how can it be so easy?

If "others" retire and let themselves out of the pit, then it's not bad, in case someone dies and begs for nothing, neither wants to retire nor die, what can you do, it's not just a dry stare.

What's more, even if someone retires or dies in office, this pit is let out, and it doesn't necessarily have to be someone from your high party to go up.

Besides, although the big guys in the current dynasty of Xinxue are not as good as the high party of Shixue, there are far more disciples of Xinxue Yimai than Shixue - when did Xinxue rise?

What about practical learning? From Qiu Jun to Wang Tingxiang, this is only the Shixue Theory School laying the foundation for Shixue, and it is Gao Gong Gaoxin Zheng who really promotes Shixue to the whole country, and it is his government in the past ten years that makes Shixue seem to have the tendency to catch up. Even in the eyes of some people, with the continuous advancement of the Gaogong New Deal, the effect of the New Deal has gradually been praised by many scholars, and it may even be possible for practical learning to replace mental learning and become a new trend in Shilin.

However, for this view, Gao Pragmatic feels that he is still too optimistic, the Gao Gong New Deal for some families in the north who are not too serious in tax evasion, the impact may not be too great, but for the scholars in some areas of the south, the impact is too great, I am afraid it is difficult for them to be inclined to the Gao Gong New Deal because of the benefit of "the country is rich and the people are strong", without taking into account the large losses of their own families, or the large losses of those who paid for his education.

But at the same time, some of the industrial and commercial owners who became rich because of the Gaogong New Deal, such as maritime merchants, silk merchants, cotton merchants, porcelain merchants, and even tea merchants, and so on, the scholars from their families, as well as the scholars they supported, were definitely supporters of the Gao Party, and once they became officials, they would basically become Gao Dang.

The Gao Party, in fact, to put it bluntly, is a party of practical study and a party of reform.

However, this group of industrial and commercial proprietors of the Gao Party is still in its infancy and has just enjoyed the dividends of the New Deal, and they have not yet been able to influence the top management, and the support they provide to the top management is still insignificant.

Gao Pragmatic knew that if they wanted to be able to help, they would have to wait at least ten years later, and without this decade of gestation, they would not be able to provide much fresh blood to the Gao Party.

Therefore, the Gao Party must stabilize the next ten years. stabilized, and the Shixue Party has gained a firm foothold in the Ming political arena since then; If it can't be stabilized, it may be as chaotic and dead as in history.

In other words, the current Gao Party actually has a very unsolid foundation and relies entirely on the power of imperial power. However, the first line of mind is different, because the current mind has long gone astray, and now they are only talking about conscience, but in fact they are all for personal gain, so especially in the south, all kinds of ideas of the supremacy of private rights have begun to appear.

For example, the self-proclaimed heretical thinker Li Zhen said that personal interests were paramount, and although his ideas also included propositions such as the sanctity of private property, the interests of the state were completely ignored, which Gao pragmatic could not agree with in any case.

From a highly pragmatic point of view, private property is of course sacrosanct, but how can the interests of the state be ignored? If the interests of the country cannot be protected, what protection can you talk about for your private property? If the state cannot afford to raise soldiers and provide disaster relief, what kind of private property can be safeguarded?

Ask the people near the towns on the nine sides, do they think it's a good thing that the country can't afford to raise soldiers? Ask the people of those prefectures and counties in the north who have been looted by displaced people, do they think it is a good thing that the country cannot provide disaster relief? It is also that the south is not trapped by foreign invasion and is not trapped by the disaster of the Xiaoice River, so it has no personal experience of these pains, and thinks about its own little profits all day long, and even resists the little taxes that are almost low.

Therefore, to put it simply, the imperial court is now nothing more than a dispute between practical learning and mental learning, and high pragmatism is actually to pull some of the positions occupied by the first line of mental learning into the plate of the first line of practical learning, and it cannot be forced too hard, so that the imperial court is caught in serious party infighting.

This is the most testing method. It is necessary not only to show the strength of the high party, but also to leave a glimmer of leeway, and slowly change the strength balance between the two sides by boiling frogs in warm water.

Therefore, after careful discussion with Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei, Guo Pu, the first assistant, came forward to distract him, and transferred Wu Dui, then the governor of Xuanda, to be the first to submit the emperor's desk.

In fact, in the eyes of the government and the opposition, Wu Dui's other qualifications are enough, but he has a disadvantage, that is, the time he served as the governor is too short.

However, the emperor still chose to support the cabinet and the first assistant as always, and only a day later, the approval came down: "According to the vote, Wu Dui will be promoted to the secretary of the military department." ”

Next, Wu Dui's resignation came up immediately, nothing more than claiming that he was shallow and unable to take on the heavy responsibilities of his own soldiers, and asked the emperor to take back his order.

It is impossible to take back the fate, not to mention that Wu Dui's resignation is nothing more than some doubts about the government and the opposition, and he has to go up, and Zhu Yijun is not unaware.

Therefore, the emperor's holy decree was immediately issued, first of all, he praised Wu Dui's previous exploits, especially the role of promoting the tribute, and the liaison work with the Mongolian right wing after the completion of the tribute, in the emperor's opinion, were "fruitful", so "not allowed to resign, it is advisable to go to the post immediately." ”

Wu Dui had already received a notice from Gao Shipra, of course, there was no problem in going to work immediately, and after a little tidying up, he left the border of Xuanda where he had stayed for nearly ten years, and Shi Shiran came to Beijing to take up his new post.

And with the appointment of Wu Dui as the secretary of the military department in place, the second move of the Gao Party will also begin, that is, Guo Pu will still come forward, and Zhang Siwei will second, asking the emperor to add ministers.
