Chapter 116: Why
Gao Gong asked Chen Mu not to cause chaos in the court, and all the affairs of the Nanyang Military Government were reported as usual, but not to mention the matter of the feudal king.
"How is this called adding chaos, everyone in the cabinet knows about it." Chen Mu glared, he felt that Gao Gong was mixing personal grievances into the affairs of the Nanyang Military Government, and said: "Last year, the younger generation had this idea, so he passed it to the cabinet, and Zhang Ge sent back a letter saying that the time had not come. ”
"At that time, the Ming Dynasty only had a corner of Luzon in Nanyang, and the time had not yet arrived, even if the time had not yet arrived, it should be brought up to discuss it, right?"
"You passed it, and Uncle Zhang replied to you?"
Gao Gong's eyes were straight, staring at Chen Mu for a long time and slapping his palm on the table, "The old man is the first assistant!" ”
I see.
Chen Mu understood, Gao Gong also understood, and co-authored the letter sent by Chen Mu of the Nanyang Military Mansion who wanted the clan to become a vassal overseas, but Gao Gong didn't see it at all.
Gao Gong slapped the table not to himself, Chen Mu was like a mirror in his heart, waved his hand and retreated as a personal companion in the room, the old god felt a little cigarette from his waist on the ground and sniffed, and glanced at Gao Gong stingily.
He can understand it very well, the letter was not read by Gao Gong, and the matter was naturally not discussed in the cabinet, let alone in the court, then Zhang Ge Lao was busy, busy sending a pavilion elder to Chen Mu.
Gao Gong has a bad temper, and he knows that the old man is angry and feels that it is inappropriate to slap the table with Chen Mu, seeing Chen Mu sitting obediently and skillfully without saying a word, he went down the stairs by himself, shook his head and gasped for two sighs of anger with a look of grievance, and then said: "The old man and Uncle Zhang have neither public enmity nor selfish hatred, but they are not the same." ”
Chen Mu was still silent, he didn't want to speak on the matter of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng at all, he didn't have this ability himself.
He doesn't care about the 'Dao' in Gao Gong's mouth, it is enough for him to do his own thing, and no matter who these two are the first assistant, they will not harm him, and that is enough.
Knowing more is not good for him.
But I couldn't stand the high arch to say, the old man was aggrieved and sad for a long time, and took advantage of today's good weather to ask Chen Mu: "Do you think the old man is a narrow-minded person, and he squeezes Uncle Zhang in words, and doesn't let you tell him about it?" ”
"Ge Lao, you can't guess blindly, the younger generation doesn't dare!
Chen Mu waved his hand again and again, and said: "I just don't understand that the ministers are fighting around, and if I don't understand, I won't say it, but it doesn't matter, the pavilion elder is indignant in his heart, there is only one Chen here, and it is estimated that he will not be able to go back to Daming a few times in this life, although he said." ”
Don't dare?
It means that you Chen Nanyang is a big pit, if there is any bad word in your stomach, you can't spread it, and you can say bad things about people behind your back?
Gao Gong didn't care about Chen Mu, he just looked at Chen Mu for a moment and suddenly smiled with relief, and said: "That's right, the green smoke of your Chen family's ancestral tomb is all on you, and those who are lucky are not comparable to others." ”
After all, the impression of Sai Donkey Gong in the DPRK and China is that he is a fool, he is better than having a good temper, and he is not angry or refuting when he is impeached.
"There are many talented people in the world, and not everyone has your luck."
The imperial court made the military attache extremely high, and there was no one who was not born at the right time.
The northern captives have been plagued for a long time, Ma Fang stood up and used the northern captives to cut down the northern captives, this kind of person deserves to be the descendants of the commander of the northern Xinjiang;
In the 30 years of the southeast war, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou fought from land to sea, each with the ability to take care of the family, and his fame was not too much;
Qi Jiguang repaired the Great Wall of Tatars, and he couldn't break it no matter how he fought along the Shuntianfu, so he could only rush to rob Liaodong, it just so happened that Li Chengliang was not a soft persimmon, he would beat him once, who would guard the northeast if he didn't guard it?
As for Chen Nanyang, his luck is better than others, and he is completely lucky.
The emperor was disgraced at the head of the city, and he fired cannons below; The cabinet saw the harm of increasing the endowment to enrich the treasury, and just decided to use it without additional endowment, Chen Shuai waved his sleeves and twisted his golden arms and came.
The reform of the Nine Frontier Guards, although it is not as good as the Xiangshan Thousand Households, still adds more than half of the border army with his own strength, and his greatest merit in the imperial court is not Nanyang, but this.
It's normal that he doesn't understand the affairs of the DPRK and China.
Other marshals are close to the cabinet and the six ministries, relying on personal relationships, he is completely a mountain of gold, he is not familiar with anyone, and everyone praises him well.
"You think Uncle Zhang doesn't help the old man because he wants to be the first assistant; Thought that Feng Bao wanted to kill the old man, was it because of a personal vendetta in the past? Gao Gong said this, and let out a disdainful chuckle, "Even if the old man is deposed again, it is worthless, have you heard of which pavilion elder was killed by the eunuch's family slave?" ”
Chen Shuai continued to pretend to be quails, anyway, he didn't know much about it, so it was good to chat with Old Man Gao and make a joke.
"The first emperor has passed away, the old man has always disliked Feng Bao, Ren Meng Chong and Chen Hong, but they are easy to make, but Feng Bao is difficult to control, the old man has unfinished business, Uncle Zhang will continue to do it, but he is not stable now, so let you talk about it in a few days, since he knows, when he frees his hand, he will do it."
Gao Gong wanted to regain the power of the prime minister, take away the power of the emperor's recital, and make the cabinet a real cabinet, rather than the position of a minister and a secretary to the top.
If you want to accept the power of the prime minister, you will first accept the celebrant supervisor, but Feng Bao countered it, and Zhang Juzheng did not stop it, of course, he couldn't stop it, and in the end he saved his life, and it was done.
It was not Feng Bao alone who killed the high arch, but the palace.
Gao Gong saw that Chen Mu was absent-minded, he would never think that Chen Mu, an overseas official, didn't care about these things, but just thought that Chen Mu didn't understand, so he asked: "For example, in the future, you will report a letter, the state affairs of Nanyang, the cabinet vote is going to be approved, and now the emperor is still young, and Feng Bao, the celebrant and supervisor, will wear red on his behalf, Feng Bao is not allowed, then he will be left behind, what should you do?" ”
"You don't worry about yourself at all, don't worry about Uncle Zhang?"
In this way, Chen Mu is quite ...... He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has his own knowledge, and the cabinet ministers and the celebrant overseer also know right and wrong, even if the juniors are worried, what is the use?" ”
Zhang Juzheng can still be in power for ten years, but he is not like Old Man Gao, who ordered the minister to strike in seven days.
What's more, you can't say worry to your face, you will be jealous.
However, Chen Mu was moved, he got up and bowed to Gao Gong uprightly, and said, "The younger generation doesn't know much, but it's a good thing to take power." ”
The probability that the emperor is a fool is too great, but there are very few people who can achieve the position of first assistant and second assistant of the cabinet.
Only the most wise and wise, the most ruthless, and the most able to control the overall situation can sit in that position, not necessarily a good person, but must be a relatively good leader.
This bureaucratic mechanism is very scientific.
"Whoever first corrects his name and then does the truth, if the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, it will not be done, and you will do the same."
It wasn't until Gao Gong said this sentence that Chen Mu understood that the old man was not here to confide in his heart, he had said a lot of nonsense before to foreshadow this sentence, and the former imperial chief assistant said: "The Nanyang Army attacked the heavens, the south and the south, and took the assets of the Quartet, but acted in a scattered manner without priority, what is the purpose?" ”
"Although he has the ambition to make immortal achievements, he is afraid of his hands and feet, and he cannot rectify the strength of the southeast, and he cannot clarify his mind and the thoughts of the world, so this picture is three million taels of silver a year."
He sat with his hands folded high, closed his eyes and recuperated, and said mockingly: "What? ”
