Chapter 008: In the Palace
When will I die, do you have inside information about this kind of thing? My Majesty, you're a bit powerful, what's the hanging?
As a result, Zhu Yijun opened the "human hanging", and he said with a smile: "Zhong Jin Hatun and Han Naji, both seem to be loyal ministers, I answer every move in Dazhao Temple, not to mention how much he eats every day, I can even know how ripe the mutton soup he ate at noon...... You say, how long will he live, can I not know? β
Wow, it's so powerful, do you want to go to the entrance of the village to set up two tables?
Gao Shishi laughed and said, "It seems that the matter of sealing tribute back then was really beautiful. β
"That's it!" Zhu Yijun was proud: "Speaking of which, the two of us have also made great contributions to this matter." β
This is true, Gao Pragmatic's credit is clearly needless to say, and although Zhu Yijun was still a little prince at the time, Gao Pragmatic was able to go to Datong as a messenger, in the name of the prince's decree, how could it be done without his support? At that time, two little guys who were less than ten years old were able to contribute to such a big event as I answered the tribute, and Zhu Yijun felt quite proud every time he thought about it.
This is a sense of accomplishment that you will never experience after becoming an emperor.
So Gao Pragmatic was very cooperative and laughed, and Zhu Yijun also laughed, and for a while, the distance between the two monarchs and ministers was much closer.
Speaking of which, except for his pragmatism, who would laugh in front of the emperor, and not be afraid of "losing his honor in front of the king"?
At this time, Gao Pragmatic understood the reason why Zhu Yijun clearly found that Li Chengliang's performance was wrong, but he still refused to move him.
This reason is not single, but interrelated, in general, Zhu Yijun feels that there are more important things to do now, and it is not cost-effective to move Li Chengliang now, and he may lose a lot because of a small one.
To be an emperor, especially the emperor taught by Longqing, it is impossible for Zhu Yijun to be a person who "can't rub sand in his eyes", and such a person can't be an emperor - the courtiers in the world have their own thoughts, don't you need to have other thoughts?
At the beginning, Longqing also taught him that even Mr. Gao is selfish, and as an emperor, what must really be dealt with is to weigh the pros and cons and always keep the situation under his control.
As long as you weigh the pros and cons and make sure that the situation does not get out of control, many things can - even have to - turn a blind eye, otherwise you will not use this person, and that person will not be used, and there will be no one available at that time, what else will you be an emperor?
Longqing's teaching to Zhu Yijun back then had already made him understand a truth: Jin is not enough, no one is perfect, the key to being an emperor is to put the right person in the right position, not to dwell on what shortcomings he has and what he is thinking.
Li Chengliang has a problem, but doesn't he have the ability to settle accounts after the autumn? If there is, why not use it first? Anyway, there is no more suitable person than him to replace him now.
The so-called "politics is compromise" is a compromise.
The emperor has grown up......
Gao Pragmatism is actually more gratifying, because although he has always been a "companion reader", he actually acts as half a teacher, and now watching Zhu Yijun mature little by little, it is inevitable that he will feel a little emotional.
Oh, but he's about to really "become a teacher", because the Japanese lecturer is also a teacher himself.
Zhu Yijun's meeting with Gao Pragmatic this time did not clearly say how to use him, judging from the tone, it was probably necessary to wait for me to answer the death first, and then see the situation before deciding.
This is also in line with the current situation, but what Gao Pragmatic doesn't understand is that taking Li Chengliang is just a matter of one sentence for the current imperial court, but Zhu Yijun just said that Gao Pragmatic is back, and he has some ideas.
This is a little strange, Li Chengliang is a military general, he is the general soldier of Liaodong, what does it have to do with him whether I come back or not? It's impossible for me to be this Liaodong general soldier.
Although the rank of the Liaodong general soldier is much more awesome than his own five-grade idle official, but now it is the Ming Wanli Dynasty, not to mention a mere Liaodong general, even if the two general soldiers of Jiliao are tied together in the Ming Dynasty, they are far less valuable than him in the government and the opposition.
Hanlin Qinggui, a heavenly immortal, the civil official at this time is so confident.
Gao Shi walked out of the Wenhua Palace, and a small yellow door immediately came to see it, politely congratulated him, and then said: "Gao Shizhong, Yuan Fu is invited." β
Shizhong is the honorific title for the left and right concubines at this time. However, this has to be explained, after the Wei and Jin dynasties, Shizhong often became the de facto prime minister, and the Tang and Song dynasties were able to maintain the position, and it was abolished after the Yuan Dynasty. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Shizhong was the governor of Menxia Province, and he was ranked alongside the Zhongshu Order and the Shangshu Order, with a very lofty status and great power, and could refute the emperor's holy decree.
Even the format of the Tang Dynasty's holy decree is not the "Ming style" often seen in later TV dramas, the first two words of the Tang Dynasty's holy decree are "Menxia", which means that this holy decree has been approved by the Menxia Province and has legal effect - in other words, without the approval of the Menxia Province, this holy decree is the so-called "Zhongzhi", which has no legal effect in the Tang Dynasty, and the people below can resist and disobey the decree.
But why is Gao Pragmatic, the left concubine, called Shizhong, it's too far away, right?
There is a reason for this, the position of the servant is the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, at that time it was only the addition of the rank of the marquis to the Langzhong, there is no quota, for the history of the prime minister, with its correspondence in the east chamber to do things, so it is called the servant. During the two Han Dynasty, it was one of the additional officials in addition to the regular official position.
Because he served the emperor, entered and exited the court, and heard about the government, it gradually became a valuable position for his cronies. After the Jin Dynasty, it began to be equivalent to the prime minister.
As for the left concubine, originally called the "prince concubine", in ancient times he was the "official of the son of heaven", and he was in charge of teaching the princes and doctors. The concubine is the meaning of the sons. If there is a big event, the handsome sons will be used by the prince. Therefore, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the concubine has been regarded as one of the palace officials.
When he arrived in Qin, he placed the concubine in the middle. The Western Han Dynasty also had concubines, with five members, who were subordinate officials of the prince and the young master. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were princes' concubines and princes' concubines, who were subordinate officials of the prince's young mansion. Its nature is similar to that of the emperor's servants, and ancient books also say that "the job is like a servant".
Because of the later awesome in the service, and these common names in the Ming Dynasty are honorifics, characterized by the big call, to the big analogy, so the left and right concubines are called "servants", but it does not mean that Gao pragmatic has now been with the prime minister of the same identity, then the misunderstanding is too big.
Gao Pragmatic felt that it was not strange that Mr. Guo wanted to find him, but before he left in the palace, he sent someone to call him to the cabinet, which is a bit different from Guo Pu's style.
Although it is said that after serving as an official, he will often be arranged by the cabinet to do something, but first, the cabinet will arrange to give the name first, such as "entering the Zhiwenyuan Pavilion", "Zhizhi Zhi", "Zhizhi Edict" and other titles, and secondly, although he has received the holy decree, he has not yet gone to his own yamen to meet Shangguan, and he has not even received the Guan Fang Seal letter, the Beijing official waist card and the official uniform, etc., theoretically speaking, it is not official, and in Guo Pu's usual style, he will not be confused in this kind of thing.
That can only be said that there is either a big thing or an emergency.
Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Xiaohuangmen.
The cabinet is not far from the Wenhua Palace, Gao pragmatic is familiar with the road, it didn't take long to arrive, along the way I met a lot of Hanlin officials on duty in the cabinet, all smiled and stepped forward to greet Gao pragmatic a few words, congratulations to him on his big victory, high promotion, Gao pragmatic thanked one by one, never rude.
Guo Pu's duty room is the one that used to be Gao Gong, and Gao Pragmatic is also very familiar, walked to the door, gently straightened his throat, and said loudly: "Xiaguan Gao Pragmatic asks to see Yuanfu." β
"Come on, come in." Guo Pu's tone is much more relaxed than before, not as rigid and serious as it was back then.
Gao pragmatic walked in with a smile, and saw that Guo Pu looked very good, although he was old and his hair was white, but his face didn't look very old, and he said: Is this the benefit of knowing medical skills? But isn't there an old saying that "since ancient times, it is difficult for people to heal themselves"? It seems that the old adage cannot be fully believed.
Although he was smiling, he still bowed in a proper mannerβthe great prostrations of a serious disciple.
Guo Pu didn't stop him, just looked at him with a smile and bowed, and then said, "Get up, sit down and talk." β
Gao Wu carried out the salute, and he was not polite to let him sit down, and sure enough, he sat down.
Guo Pu already knew that this guy would not usually do anything like sitting on half of his ass, and he was not surprised, but he just smiled and said: "What, what do you gain from going south this time?" β
Gao Shishi knew as soon as he heard it that this "harvest" was not to ask him what he had done - it was obvious, and there was no need to ask at all. It is impossible to ask him how much money he makes, Mr. Guo Pu Guo is as poor as he was back then, and he is willing to put his heart into managing the country's finances, but he is not interested in making money for himself, which is a question with different aspirations.
In the eyes of some people, profit is money; In the eyes of some people, profit is power; But there are also some people whose interests are their own posthumous reputation.
So Gao pragmatic replied with a smile: "There are indeed some, especially some things about the southwestern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, the disciple can see it more clearly now, and some of the troubles and difficulties are also more clearly understood. β
"Okay, very good, I'm afraid that you are too smooth in Guangxi and Annan, and now you will underestimate the heroes of the world. Judging from your previous recitals, you are very concerned about Myanmar...... What's the matter, Myanmar is not what it used to be? β
Gao Shishi straightened his face and said solemnly: "Don't hide it from the teacher, the disciple feels that Myanmar may become a big trouble in Yunnan, and even this kind of trouble has now arisen. β
Guo Pu frowned slightly and asked, "How big is this trouble?" Can Yunnan solve it? β
