Chapter 227: Old Party Disputes, New Doubts

At the last moment before the palace was closed, Gao Shishi came out of the palace.

During today's audience, he and Zhu Yijun talked about a lot of things, and in the end, the emperor stayed in the palace for dinner, and he didn't even delay the meal, and kept talking.

After leaving the palace, I found that not only had the previous team of Fubiao been waiting, but even Gao Mo had come.

After all, Gao Pragmatic was a servant who rushed all the way back to Beijing, and was invited into the palace as soon as he arrived in Beijing, and he was a little tired by now, but Gao Mo is not a person who can't distinguish priorities, he came in person, there must be something.

Sure enough, Gao Mo came with a large stack of worship posts and invitations, Gao Pragmatic cheered up and flipped through them, and couldn't help but joke: "I really don't know how powerful I am if I don't go back to Beijing, I'm afraid there are sixty or seventy invitations in total?" If I had been going door-to-door for banquets and visits, at least two months would have passed. ”

Who knows that Gao Mo said: "The lord doesn't know, this is already a batch of small ones after screening, and the ones that are screened out are definitely too late to see the masters, and the rest of what you see now is either a Beijing official above the fourth grade, a foreign official above the third grade, or a lord of the world." In addition, there are two categories, namely the same year of the Kedao Yanguan and the old man Gengchen Kejin Bang. ”

Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly: "I said how to flip through it casually, and I found that almost all of them are acquaintances." ”

Gao Mo didn't speak, just made a waiting-like appearance, Gao Pragmatic knew that he was waiting for him to give a time arrangement, and which of them to choose for the banquet and visit.

Sighing, Gao pragmatic said: "The emperor has arranged an errand for me, and in three days, I will temporarily serve as the examiner of the current examination and the examination of the palace." According to the system, you will have to live in the Ministry of Rites for a period of time, and you can't get out before Zhang Bang. ”

This situation was obviously beyond Gao Mo's expectations, and he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Then these ......"

Gao pragmatically waved his hand decisively: "Pick two or three that you have to see, and the others ...... Let's use the examiner's regulations to refuse. ”

He was so tired that he sat down in his green sedan chair. In fact, in the past, Gao Shishi rarely rode a sedan chair in Beijing, unless it rained or something like that, he always rode a horse.

However, the current situation is different, he is now a member of the third grade, a governor, and he happens to be the rank of squire of the military department, and then in the Beijing division "rampant horses", he has to worry about being involved in a few books, saying that he is flying high, so he has to change his habits.

Taking a sedan chair also has the advantage of taking a sedan chair, that is, you can close your eyes in the sedan chair to recuperate, while Gao Mo outside is still riding a horse, and reporting the situation to Gao Pragmatic while walking.

According to what Gao Pragmatic just said, Gao Mo picked out a few more important greetings and invitations, and asked Gao Pragmatic to make the final decision.

Gao Shishi closed his eyes and listened, and said with a slight mutter: "Since Yuanfu has placed an invitation, there is no doubt that he must go, this is the first one." ”

Gao Mo responded without surprise.

"The pivotal province is my own office, and Da Sima can't help but go there, this is the second one."

The pivotal province is the military department, and the high pragmatism is the right attendant of the military department, and since Wu Dui has come to the invitation, this face has to be given. Gao Mo responded again.

"As for the third ......"

Gao Pragmatic had just said this, and suddenly heard someone at the back of the team shouting: "High school is slow, the master of ceremonies has an order to send it!" ”

Outside, Gao Mo quickly said: "Master, it's a person from the inner court, who just came down from the palace gate with a hanging basket, do you want to see it?" ”

"Bring him here." Gao Shishi was a little surprised in his heart, the celebrant sent a note? Even if there is a Chen for me, there is no need to be in such a hurry, why did you go when I was in the palace just now?

But after thinking about it, the current master of ceremonies is Huang Mengyu, although he usually speaks a little arrogantly, but in fact he is by no means a reckless person, so anxious to send me a letter, it must be really important.

Not long after, a eunuch from the inner court was brought to the Luni sedan chair, and Gao Pragmatic still gave Huang Mengyu more face, and personally got off the sedan chair.

But unexpectedly, the eunuch dressed in the clothes of a young eunuch did not hand over the note, but took a piece of music out, handed it to Gao Shishi, and said: "Don't blame Zhongcheng, just shouting like that is just a last resort, this music is what the emperor just saw, and the emperor asked the slave maid to send it to Zhongcheng immediately...... But the slave will have to take it back later. ”

Gao Shishi was quite surprised, but he just nodded quietly, took the music and looked at it.

It turned out that this song was reported by Liu Shizeng, the governor of Yunnan, on the "cause of the incident", and the text was written like this:

Liu Shi, the governor of Yunnan, once said that he investigated the situation of Yi: Mang Yinglong recruited Teng Yuezhou guard officials to see him in the eighth year of Wanli, and the soldiers were afraid that Mu Banghan would pull out the scheme, so he was a secret messenger to recruit five people including Xiaokeng, and carried coins and saddle horses to enter Burma detectives. It is not intended to be obsessed with the unwanted, and the benefits of pulling out the people and the text are sent to the ancients, and the small pit is waiting for, that is, the things carried by the reckless thieves are fed to themselves.

The thief is sent back, attached to the brocade cloth, several kinds of paradoxical words are in the bamboo leaf book, there is no tribute, and the tribute of the text is to, and it is easy to put the Xuanfu, and watch the text of Teng Yong, one time and two things, contradictory. With the commission, the general affairs are proclamated, and the gold silk and reward are rare, so as to pay tribute. The chief is dead, and the son should be the heir, and he is gone. so that they are not rewarded by the Han, and they are angry and unfortified, and they are imprisoned, and they attack their lands. This is a clear contradiction. Today, however, when many parties plan to do so, there is no need to pay tribute to each other or not.

Gao Pragmatic frowned slightly, and when he looked down, he found that Liu Shizeng's sparse essay had been written, and below was Zhu Yijun's Zhu criticism:

In the early years, the reckless chieftain was reckless, encroaching on the Tusi, and the magistrate was careless, stealing peace and recuperating chaos, so that the fence was completely removed, and the border was troublesome, but he also fabricated that the chieftain offered things for good luck, and he was reckless.

Shuwen and Zhu Pi are very simple, and in fact, the matter is not serious.

To put it simply, Mang Yinglong was very inflated before, and ordered the Wei commanders and other officials of Yunnan Tengchong and other states to see him, and the local soldiers in Yunnan felt that there might be fraud in it, maybe it was the head of the Mubang Propaganda Division, so he selected a few people who knew Burmese to sneak into Myanmar and Mubang to investigate the situation.

As a result, as soon as these people arrived in Mubang, they were captured by Hanba. Hanba's guy was obviously not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and after arresting these people, he confiscated the belongings they were carrying and transferred them to Burma.

The Burmese side wrote a "tribute letter" that was not a "tribute book" at all, and the language was wild, and even openly asked the imperial court to change the candidate for the consolation envoy according to his wishes, and also peeped into Tengyue, Yongchang and other places.

In accordance with the principle of salute first and then soldier, Yunnan first persuaded each other with good words and sent a messenger to Burma and Mubang to preach, but Hanba of Mubang accepted the reward of gold silk, saying that he was still loyal to the Ming Dynasty and insisted on paying tribute. But there was a situation in Myanmar, and it happened that Mang Yinglong died of illness, and his son Mang Yingli succeeded to the throne, and he refused to see the envoy at all.

Not only that, Mang Yingli also thought that Hanba's acceptance of the "Han reward" was a betrayal of him, and sent troops to attack Hanba, and then arrested Hanba, which was not relieved, and continued to attack other areas of Mubang.

According to Liu Shizeng's statement, this year's war in Yunnan should be regarded as a short-tempered guy in Mangyingli, and after beating Mubang first, he found that he was really strong and strong, so he swelled so much that he simply didn't do anything and didn't stop fighting, and even Yunnan fought together.

However, Zhu Yijun's Zhu criticism is very interesting, he did not express any opinion on the matter itself at all, but just came to "settle old accounts", saying that the reckless thieves (father and son generations) continued to invade the various propaganda and consolation divisions under the jurisdiction of Yunnan, and the magistrates have been tolerating and nurturing adultery, and after the incident, they are still trying to whitewash the peace and shirk their responsibilities, so "even if the section investigates and participates" - it is equivalent to asking the relevant department officials to immediately "investigate and prosecute".

It stands to reason that although what Liu Shizeng said was the "history" he investigated, the problems he pointed out were current, and Zhu Yijun should instruct him what to do next. Worry-free love book network

But Zhu Yijun did not give any instructions, but turned over the old accounts, demanding that the responsibility of the previous group of relevant officials, that is, the predecessors who lost the barrier, be investigated and impeached.

There are only three possibilities, one is that Zhu Yijun did not notice that he should quickly remedy or deal with the current situation; The second is that he was carried away by anger, and he had to punish the first person responsible for ignoring it; Third, he already had a solution to the Yunnan issue in his heart, but he didn't plan to explain it to Liu Shizeng now.

Gao pragmatic thought about it, and still preferred the third possibility.

Because the Yunnan issue was just negotiated between him and Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun had already gotten rid of the disputes in the imperial court, accepted Gao Shipra's suggestion of "beating hard", and even decided how to fight. Even, he linked Gao pragmatic marriages with the war in Yunnan.

In this case, it is too unscientific to say that Zhu Yijun forgot the point of the matter......

But the problem is that since this thing is not urgent, what is the significance of Zhu Yijun hurriedly sending someone to chase after him to inform him?

Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but groan. And the young eunuch didn't urge, he honestly waited for Gao to speak pragmatically.

After a while, Gao Pragmatic clarified his mind, and it turned out that the reason why Zhu Yijun "didn't mention serious matters" in Zhu Criticism may have been that he found out that this matter involved party disputes.

Liu Shizeng's remarks were actually accusing his predecessor of indulging Myanmar too much, and then it led to today's Mang Yinglong, Mang Yingli's father and son being arrogant, and even daring to commit a big offense.

However, the matter of pursuing the predecessor is not something that can be pursued casually, because the indulgent attitude of the Yunnan side is not a year or two, at least it dates back to the middle of the Jiajing period.

At that time, Mu Chaobi, the general soldier of Yunnan Province, once reported to the imperial court, pointing out that the danger of Mang Yinglong's forces to the Ming Dynasty was already very high, and he hoped that the imperial court would send troops to intervene - the implication was similar to fighting a "preventive war" proposed by Churchill later.

However, at that time, the imperial court sternly refused, and admonished the local Fuzhen official in Yunnan in the name of the Ministry of War, saying: "In addition to the desert, the cure will not be cured...... has been afraid of the prestige and fled, preaching to the barbarians, not allowing traffic settlement. ”

Since this matter was already like this in the "Imperial Grandfather" period, then Zhu Yijun's so-called turning over old accounts now will definitely not be able to go far, at most the responsibility of the former governor will be investigated, otherwise the implication will be too wide and the impact will be too bad.

And the question is the former governor, who was the former governor? Rao Renkan.

Rao Ren caress Dian, is there any big problem in this matter? Actually, no, after all, his predecessors, his predecessors, and even his predecessors beyond, all of them did this.

But Rao Renkan has another "historical problem", that is, when Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng advocated that I pay tribute, Rao Renkan, Ye Mengxiong and others, who were imperial historians, were the most fiercely opposed.

Needless to say, during the period when Gao Gong was in power, in addition to the nobles, the civil and military officials, but all those who opposed the tribute, had no good fruit to eat, and Rao Renkan, the main force who opposed the tribute, was of course no exception, so he was demoted to the position of Raozhou Mansion Governor.

But he should be grateful that Gao Gong's attitude in employing people is different from Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng's style is, I think you don't do well, so I will belittle you to the point that you can't come back in this life, if you still hate me, then don't even want to save your life (such as Liu Tai, etc.), I have to kill you, I am happy.

And Gao Gong is much more "arrogant", you have hated Gao Gong in this matter, he demoted your official and demoted him to a foreign appointment. But if you do well in the field and do well in the evaluation, then you don't have to worry, because you can still be promoted back, and Gao Gong will not interfere because he holds a grudge against you.

People with a high arch personality are actually very common, that is, the kind of temper that occurs at the time, and you are afraid that he will hold a grudge afterwards, but in fact, he may have forgotten your rectum for a long time.

As a result, after Brother Rao Renkan served as a small pusher, due to his excellent evaluation, he was transferred back to Beijing again to serve as the director of the Criminal Department during the period when Gao Gong was still serving as the secretary of the ministry. Next, his career was also smooth sailing, successively served as the governor of Shanxi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and finally the governor of Yunnan as the imperial history of the right capital.

It was not until February of the ninth year of Wanli that a large number of officials were impeached by Qin Yi and Yushi Qian Dai in the matter of investigation and gleaning, Rao Renkan was impeached for "dereliction of duty", so he was first "demoted by one level and transferred to another post", and then after a thorough investigation, he was punished with "crown and idleness", which was forced to become a minister.

During the period from Rao Renkan's impeachment to his thorough dismissal, Gao Pragmatic was not in Beijing at all, and he didn't know much about it, so he didn't think of it just now, but it wasn't until he thought about it carefully that he discovered the problem.

Rao Renkan only had an accident in February of the ninth year of Wanli, which obviously had nothing to do with Gao Gong, who had passed away in the sixth year of Wanli, but the dignified governor fell in the investigation and grooming, which is unlikely to have no party contention factor.

So, what faction is Rao Renkan from?

He is a Jinshi of the Renxu Branch in the forty-first year of Jiajing, and there are three of them who are very famous in the same year: Zhuangyuan Shen Shixing, Bangyan Wang Xijue, and Tanhua Yu Youding.

In addition to Wang Xijue, who is staging the drama of a great filial son, returning to his hometown to take care of his father (his father is now deceased, Wang Xijue is worrying about the system), Shen Shixing and Yu Youding are both in the cabinet, and they are the left and right pillars of the heart and learning.

Now, the truth is revealed.

At the end of the ninth year of Wanli, Guo Pu even begged for retreat, and even after Zhu Yijun repeatedly retained him, he insisted on asking to see the two palaces in person, insisted on retreating, and finally retired with a perfect curtain call.

And Rao Renkan happened to have an accident at the beginning of the ninth year of Wanli, and in the second half of the year, he was sentenced to "crown and idle" - that is, to retain the administrative rank and be ordered to retire.

said that there was no shadow of Guo Pu in this matter, and Gao Pragmatic resolutely did not believe it. It's just that now he has to figure out that Guo Pu himself is not a strong Shoufu like Gao Gong, and his style during his reign is recognized as "Gao Gui Guo Sui".

Then why didn't Gao Gong think that Rao Renkan had a big problem, but Guo Pu wanted to get Rao Renkan down before Zhishi?

It seems that the uncle's invitation came at a very good time, and he had to go to the "make-up class" immediately, otherwise he wouldn't even understand Zhu Yijun's attitude on this matter.

"If an envoy returns to the emperor, he will say that the ministry has already seen it, and the details will be returned tomorrow."

Of course, the young eunuch knew Gao Pragmatic's special status in the palace, and he didn't dare to say much when he heard this, so he nodded his head again and again, and then after Gao Pragmatic's eyes signaled Gao Mo to give some red envelopes, he thanked him and retreated respectfully.

As soon as the eunuch left, Gao Pragmatic put away his smile, frowned and instructed Gao Mo: "Send someone to the Yuanfu Mansion immediately, just say that the nephew will visit overnight today, and he will be there immediately." ”

Gao Mo hadn't seen the music brought by the eunuch just now, and even if he did, he couldn't understand the problem, but Gao Pragmatic's expression was so serious, he naturally knew the severity, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Zhang Daxue's Mansion, and then as soon as Gao Shishi entered the sedan chair and sat down, he said loudly to Fubiao and the sedan chair drivers: "Get up the sedan chair and go to Zhang's Scholar's Mansion!" ”

PS: It's about to enter March, I hope the epidemic will be effectively controlled as soon as possible, and I hope that all readers are safe and healthy. By the way, I would like to ask one thing: how do you want the war in Burma to be written? What I mean is to choose one of the two: one is that the "lens" is only for Gao Pragmatic, whether it is a counterattack in Yunnan and Annan, or a surprise attack, the narration in a few words brings things over. The second is to give a few chapters to Yunnan and Annan to interject, so that the plot and supporting characters are a little fuller. (This chapter is 4800 words, and 5,000 is not completed, and the above does not affect the fee.) )
