On December 10, the third year of Longqing's reign, heavy snow fell in Xinzheng, Henan Province, and the fields were already covered in snow.
Xinzheng County is not a very big town, and although it cannot be said to be majestic, it is a bit more elegant due to the auspicious snow.
It's snowing heavily in the middle of winter and the wind is biting. This winter seems to be a little colder than in previous years.
It's strange to say that in recent years, it has been getting colder every year. On such a cold day, if it were a normal season, few people would travel, but today, outside the gate of Xinzheng County, it is very lively and densely packed.
There was a large group of people standing around several carriages, as if they were seeing someone off. Looking at the size of the crowd, it was probably not more than one or two hundred people.
What’s even more surprising is that these people are either wearing official uniforms of the imperial court or rich and colorful clothes. Even the servants accompanying them are all neatly dressed. Judging from the size of Xinzheng County, all county officials and squires
I am afraid that all of them must have arrived to achieve such a situation. The age of these people who came was very different, old and young, young and strong. The only thing in common was that they all had warm and complimentary smiles on their faces.
In front of the luxurious carriage in the middle of the crowd, there were only two people, an old man and a young man. The old man was about sixty years old, with a broad face and deep eyebrows. Although he was only wearing an ordinary scholar's cloth coat, he could wear it with a proud look.
If it weren't for the big beard that makes the group's portrait look a bit abrupt and weird, it would look like the reincarnation of Li Bai. The little boy next to him is only about six or seven years old, and he is so handsome that it makes people happy to see him.
Although the eyes are not big, they are particularly lively and lively, and they appear to be very smart in a blink of an eye.
This old man not only looks like Li Bai with a big beard, but he also speaks with pride. At this moment, he raised his hands and made a four-way bow, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone! If you have a way, you will be sent thousands of miles away, and you will end up in the end."
It is necessary to say goodbye. It has been almost two years since Gao returned to his hometown. He has been following many of you and has been talking about learning and Taoism. What a joy! However, when the saint called him, he spoke sincerely. Although Gao was old and sick, he did not dare to say this.
, even if you are facing wind and snow, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible to relieve the saint's worries and fulfill your responsibilities. You don't have to send me off anymore. Someday Gao will return to his hometown after his official career, and I will have a drink with you all again!"
Everyone was polite to each other for a while, but the old man named Gao just smiled and nodded in greeting reservedly.
Someone came out of his side at some point. He bowed his head and said to the old man: "Mr. Gaoge, ever since you left Beijing, the emperor has been looking forward to the stars and the moon. He has been talking about it all day long, hoping that you would be better soon.
Go back. You don’t know that after you left, the troubles in the outer court have become more and more day by day! The emperor is so annoyed that he wishes he could just ignore them and ignore them. Right now
Finally, both the inner court and the outer court felt the taste... When it comes to our Longqing Dynasty, no one can be missing but you, Mr. Gaoge! No, that's why the emperor hastened to summon you for eight hundred miles.
Jing Qifu is not..." This man was wearing eunuch robes. He was about thirty years old. He had a humble smile on his face, his voice was a little hoarse, and he spoke respectfully.
The old man stopped smiling, waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, okay, there is no need to talk more about these gossips, don't you just want to ask me if I can leave? Come on, leave now. Be pragmatic, come, Third Uncle will carry you up
Car." The last sentence was addressed to the child beside him. It turned out that the old man and the young man, who looked like grandparents at this age, were actually uncle-nephew.
After hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly said: "How dare you work with Gaoge Lao!" Then he said to the little boy: "Young master, our family invites you to get in the car." He said it was to invite you, but in fact he had already squatted down and made a gesture to hug you.
Actions.
But the boy smiled, waved his hands and said, "Mr. Chen, you're welcome, I can go up there myself. Third uncle, it's better for you to invite me first." He looked like a young adult.
Of course he is a young man - he was the top leader of a certain town in his previous life. He was already in his early thirties and was a county secretary with a promising future as a "young cadre". One day, due to the renovation of a provincial road, the town had to demolish a long-standing building.
The Taoist temple in the Ming Dynasty was in a dilapidated state. He was afraid that the local people would be dissatisfied, so he went to supervise it in person. Unexpectedly, he inexplicably traveled through time and became a newborn baby, and then found that he had returned to the Ming Dynasty. After several years of growth, it is reasonable to say that his mental age
They are almost forty years old.
What a coincidence. In his previous life, he was called Gao pragmatism, and in this life he is still called Gao pragmatism. But in his previous life, he was called "pragmatism" because the popular slogan at that time was "seeking truth and being pragmatic." Gao's father was also an intellectual at that time, and his consciousness was not yet high.
It was not bad. It happened that his son was born, so he simply named his son Pragmatic. But in this life, the name "Pragmatic" came from the fact that he was born in the Gao family of Xinzheng. The Gao family was one of the great pragmatists in the world, and the elders in the family had been officials for many generations.
And his third uncle, Gao Gong, was not only a great master of practical learning in the world, but also the imperial teacher of the current Emperor Longqing, and a former cabinet scholar.
Back then, his third uncle Gao Gong - the old man next to him now - returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. Because Gao Pragmatic's father was an official away from home at the time, Gao Gong, his elder brother, named him "Pragmatic".
", the word "wu" refers to their seniority, and "practice" refers to practical learning.
Seeing Gao Jingshi's answer, Gao Gong just smiled and didn't take it seriously. He lifted up his hem and got into the car with the cork and brocade pedals. Gao Jingshi didn't waste any time and followed behind his third uncle, pedaling swiftly.
I got into the car with my brocade pedal on.
After the two of them got on the carriage one after another, the eunuch who delivered the decree did not dare to ride with Mr. Gao Ge. Instead, after giving some instructions to the people accompanying him, he got into another simpler carriage.
There were only two uncles and nephews, an old man and a young man, left in the carriage.
The convoy marched for a while, and the people who presented themselves to Mr. Ge at the city gate had already dispersed and disappeared into the snow. Mr. Gao gently raised his hand to open the curtains, looked at the snowy countryside retreating, and suddenly sneered softly: "
Be pragmatic, guess what, after getting the news that I have returned to Beijing, how many people in the world will be on tenterhooks and will not know what to eat?"
The restoration of Gao Gong was a major event in the history of the Ming Dynasty. However, since there was a restoration, it was natural to leave Beijing first.
When Yan Song fell, Xu Jie became the chief minister. In order to show favor to the only prince Zhu Zaihe, he recommended his teacher Gao Gong to join the cabinet to assist the government. Xu Jie originally thought that Gao Gong, a junior, would be grateful for his kindness after he recommended him to the cabinet.
, became his own help, but unexpectedly, Gao Gong knew that as the only teacher of the crown prince, he would definitely join the cabinet. However, he had always been ambitious and looked down on old-school bureaucrats like Xu Jie who only wanted to be an official. It didn't take long.
There was a disagreement with Xu Jie.
Later, Emperor Longqing, who was a disciple of Gao Gong, came to the throne. Gao Gong increasingly wanted to refresh the official system and revitalize the court, and the conflict with Xu Jie became more acute. Imagine that Xu Jie had been close to each other for 20 years, and when Yan Song was in power, he could
He knew how to protect himself and maintain his position in the cabinet, so how could he tolerate Gao Gong going against him? So he immediately used various means, and finally used the power of words to force Gao Gong to write more than ten memorials to resign, and then resigned and returned home sadly.
.
However, in just over a year, Xu Jie lost the favor of the emperor because he was too indulgent in his speech and restricted the emperor. In a tentative resignation, he was directly approved by the emperor and retired to serve!
As soon as Xu Jie retired, the first important thing that the emperor thought of was to recall Gao Gong and return to the capital to resume his prime ministership!
So, the scene just now happened.
Logically speaking, how can a child of about seven years old know this kind of question? However, Gao Ge Lao just asked it, and Gao Pingshi also answered with a smile: "San Bo, what they think is their business, you
You don’t have to care at all, the key now is what you plan to do.”
"Hahahaha!" Mr. Gao Ge looked up to the sky and smiled, as if venting his pent-up resentment for more than a year, and then said: "You little guy, you hit the nail on the head. Sometimes I can't wait to see you grow up right away. Look at what you have done.
How capable you are at that time... Yes, the key now is not them, but the attitude I will use towards them."
"Then what are your plans?"
Gao Ge always wanted to take the exam for his nephew, who he valued most, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You might as well take a guess."
Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised, but he was not stage frightened. He was originally a lover of Ming history, and when he was working as a secretary, he read a lot of history books to enrich himself. He even wrote about the history of the Longwan reform period.
After a few analytical articles were published in the county newspaper, the leadership favored him and he was gradually given important responsibilities.
In fact, he had a high opinion of Gao Gong's ability and ambition. He always felt that if he had continued to preside over the reform in the early years of Wanli, he would probably have done better than Zhang Juzheng. Because of this man's courage and courage,
In fact, he was better than Zhang Juzheng. Unfortunately, in the original history, as soon as Emperor Longqing died, Gao Gong was framed by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao. He eventually resigned from office and returned home sadly. He died in depression a few years later.
This was originally a historical tragedy, a loss for the Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly, he could travel through time and become Gao Gong's nephew. This was a surprise to him: he finally had the opportunity to try out his "fantasy" and let Gao Gong continue to be his prime minister in the Wanli Dynasty.
, implement reforms! As long as you can help him, let Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao's tricks be targeted!
As for the questions Gao Gong raised to test him, he also had his own thoughts.
Gao pragmatism felt that the first possibility was that Gao Gong relied on the Wushuang Holy Family to return to Beijing forcefully, put on a tough style, and swept away all the demons and monsters that had been against him.
Forget it, it should be demoted. Even Xu Jie, who retired to Songjiang, can be criticized a little - after all, Xu Jie has gone, and others are no longer in the center, so his influence must be reduced. Given the current emperor's respect for Gao Gong,
Yi Zhong, who can oppose him? But...doing so will definitely lead to turmoil in the government. It may not be completely restored within three to five years, but Gao Gong is a man who wants to do something great for the world.
people, so they will definitely not make such a choice.
In fact, within the center of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet and ministers had been fighting for a long time. Originally, due to Yan Song's relationship, the authority of the cabinet had become increasingly stronger in recent years. Even if Yan Song resigned, this situation would not change immediately. It was a good opportunity to refresh political affairs.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie came out first. In order to suppress Gao Gong, the science and education flourished and became almost uncontrollable. And after he caused Gao Gong to be expelled, he himself was not happy with the emperor, and he could not sit in the position of chief minister.
Stable, but ultimately ended up returning home sadly.
But after he left, the cabinet was replaced one by one, and it was Li Chunfang's turn to become the chief minister without any hesitation. The Sixth Department and Kedao almost had to ride on the head of the cabinet. In fact, the Sixth Department and Kedao people have been too busy for a long time.
When something happens, what else can you do besides passing the blame on each other?
As time went by, the emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore. The purpose of resurrecting Gao Gong was actually to let Gao Gong go back to take charge of the overall situation, clean up this mess, and make him less worried. In this way, if Gao Gong wanted to use thunderous means and at the same time investigate what happened in the first place, the emperor
He would definitely not stop him, and since the emperor didn't stop him, no one could stop him. But Gao pragmatic knew that with Gao Gong's personality, it was impossible to do this. After all, he was a man who wanted to reform and assist Long Qing.
The emperor who has achieved great success will not make the world uneasy because of his own personal grudges.
So Gao Jingshi set the tone first and said: "You could have used the Holy Family to kill everyone, but that would destabilize the court situation. I don't expect Third Uncle to do this."
Gao Gong glanced at him appreciatively, sighed with emotion, and looked into his nephew's eyes: "Pragmatic, you are right. Those of us who are studying must always remember that being an official is to do better things.
This is the original intention and the foundation. Just like when I fought with them, the purpose was to do things, and now the reason why I am willing to accept the order and return to Beijing to revolt is still to do things. But there are so many things in the world, how can I be the only one?
Just finish it? Those who opposed me back then were not necessarily people who couldn't do things or were unwilling to do things. There were also many of them who were worthy of saving and getting them back on the right path.
So, this is a killing weapon. If you can’t help it, don’t fight it. At least you should write it down first, just in case...it’s not too late to fight again in the future. Well, what else do you have in mind?”
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "The second possibility is to do nothing, say nothing, and show no expression at all. After returning to Beijing, you can do whatever you always should, and just treat the previous things as a matter of course."
It's never happened...but I don't think Uncle San will make this choice."
Of course Gao Gong would not make such a choice. This method is generally called cold treatment in later generations. This will temporarily make some people unable to judge what Gao Gong intends to do, just like a pinched butt.
Unpunched fists are more intimidating than random blows. In this way, these people will not dare to act rashly in a short period of time, lest they become the ones who stand out. In this case, they are likely to lurk first,
In order to avoid Gao Gong's sharp edge. In this way, during this period of time, the resistance to what Gao Gong wants to do should not be too great. However, when they can't hold it back anymore, or feel that the limelight has passed, then
It's hard to say. So this method is actually a bad idea. Unless Gao Gong hasn't figured out how to deal with them yet, he wouldn't choose to do this.
As expected, after hearing this, Gao Gong immediately waved his hand: "Although when doing big things, you have to think carefully and try to be sure, but there is a big difference between careful consideration and hesitation. If I really follow the plan you said, then I am just an indecisive person.
That’s all. Well, it’s indeed a bad idea, so don’t mention it. Well, the first and second items were rejected by you yourself. It seems that the best option in your eyes is the third one? Then let’s talk about it.
Let’s see.”
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "Why do we call Mingjiao 'Mingjiao'? It's because saints pay attention to rectification of names and education. According to my nephew's expectation, even if you return to Beijing this time, even if it hinders the court's customs, you will not be able to occupy the position of first assistant for a while.
, but after thinking about it, he should act as the first assistant, assisting the emperor and educating all the people. Third uncle, in the final analysis, these civil and military officials are also part of the "all people". If they can be educated, of course they must be educated well...teach and transform them.
." Not only did he lengthen the last word "hua", he also said it with an extra emphasis, which obviously meant something.
Seeing his nephew's cunning face, Gao Gong couldn't help but think of a word in his mind: "little fox". He couldn't help laughing, and pretended to pat his little head with melon seeds, and said: "It's a great thing for the world. I'll beat you."
It came out of his mouth as if it was some kind of conspiracy. People say that young people don’t read Water Margin, and old people don’t read Three Kingdoms. You’re good, you can eat it all! How old are you, why do you look like Sima Yi in that novel?
I can warn you, although my Gao family values practical learning and does not seek to be pragmatic, but in our world, "non-Jinshi will not enter the Imperial Academy, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet." You also understand this rule. If you can't be named on the gold medal and become an official, you will be allowed to do so.
No matter how talented you are, it's just like a dragon entering a shallow pond and a tiger falling into the sun. So, be pragmatic. Even if you are talented, you should still lay a solid foundation in your studies as your first priority at this moment. Remember to distinguish the main points.
Secondly, it's better to read less of the scattered books and volumes beside them for now. When you become an official in the future, what will it do to hinder you if you read them again?"
Gao Jingshi quickly straightened his expression, lowered his hands and said solemnly: "My third uncle taught me a lesson, and my nephew has learned a lesson."
Gao Gong then nodded with satisfaction, changed to a comfortable sitting position, and said Shi Shiran: "Back then, your uncle enlightened you. He began to read and write when he was three years old. He learned so fast that your uncle was tired of reading books to me at home.
It has been mentioned that you are also known as a child prodigy in your hometown. I have personally supervised your studies in the past two years when I returned to my hometown this time. I also found that your mind is far superior to that of children of the same age, so I only brought you with me when I returned to Beijing.
You alone, even your aunt came later, why? I just want to take you to the capital earlier to see the world, so that you know what a high-ranking official of the imperial court has to go through on a daily basis, with the Holy Emperor, with the cabinet ministers, with all the officials...
...how to deal with them. Don’t think that these seem to be of little use. In fact, they will be very beneficial to you in the future.”
Gao Gong looked at him, with a loving light in his eyes. Even if he looked at his own son, he would probably be nothing more than this. Seeing Gao Pragmatic's expression of gratitude, sitting upright and listening to the instructions, he felt even more satisfied, and added: "Not only
In this way, there are many young talents in the Hanlin Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and even various ministries and yamen. These people may still be just small officials of the eighth and ninth grades, and their words and deeds have no weight. But it is precisely because they now have no
weight, so it is also the best time to make friends. If you leave a deep impression on them at this time, or even have some friendship with each other, then you can imagine that in the future, after you are named on the gold list and enter the official career, these people will also
The waves behind you in the Yangtze River have already pushed the waves ahead, and you stand proudly in the court and make the final decisions. By that time, each of them may be of help to you."
Gao Pragmatic can only sincerely thank you again.
In fact, if Gao Gong's words were spoken to ordinary children, they might still be a bit reserved, but Gao Pingshi knew very well that most of the "these people" that San Bo was referring to were actually his own disciples, or had received favors from him.
People, probably most of them, can be called "senior brother" by themselves. Well, to put it more informally, these people are nothing more than the so-called "high party members".
The teachers and disciples in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty have long become an iron-clad circle. As long as the teacher-student relationship becomes a teacher-student relationship, they will be a grasshopper on a rope almost all their lives.
The disciples and disciples may not be able to achieve much in terms of their status and power now due to their qualifications, but ten or twenty years from now, there will be many who stand in the court and talk eloquently. They will have to learn from this group of disciples.
Can people come out from within?
It can be seen that although the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is determined by the imperial examination, the children of officials always have the connections of the officials' children to make use of. As long as they can pass the exam, they can get more help in the officialdom than the children of poor families.
The Gao family of Xinzheng is exactly such a family of officials.
However, Gao pragmatically understood that all these words had a premise, that is, Gao Gong could never fail. He could take the initiative to become an official and choose to retire, but he could not be brought down by his political opponents. Only when Gao Gong's position is stable, his disciples
Disciples, only then will the future be promising, and only then will it be helpful to a highly pragmatic future.
But the problem is, Gao Jingshi knows better. If there are no accidents, then two years later, Gao Gong will suddenly be crushed by Zhang Juzheng at the height of his power, completely toppled, and it will be difficult to turn over again! It will not be until thirty years later that Zhang Juzheng's bones will be broken.
He was rehabilitated only after he was able to play drums.
"I don't know why I was reborn in this world, but this status is pretty good. It's better than the best. I can try to prevent Gao Gong from falling tragically; I can try to make the emperor and the civil service group less sharp.
Opposition; try to develop new government financial resources by balancing interests; try to introduce and promote various high-yielding species that have been introduced from the Americas to reduce the food pressure caused by the Little Ice Age; try to prevent the development of firearms by the Ming army
The evil path of "killing mosquitoes with cannons"; try to prevent the northern nomads from invading the south; try to prevent the Ming Dynasty from interrupting its self-evolution because of the last glory of the nomads; try... to prevent China from having wild boars
Because of their ignorance and conservatism, they wasted nearly three hundred years and fell behind the West!"
When the "seven-year-old" Gao Pragmatic thought of this, he suddenly pursed his lips and muttered in a very small voice: "Of course the first reason is that if Gao Gong falls, my identity will be worthless..."
"What are you muttering about?" Gao Gong asked.
"Ah? Oh..." Gao pragmatic hesitated, and then an idea came to him: "By the way, third uncle, I heard that the prince is about the same age as me?"
"Well, the prince and you were both born in the 42nd year of Jiajing. Why do you ask this?"
Gao Pragmatic suddenly showed a thoughtful look and hesitated to answer.
Gao Gong was confused when he saw it. He knew that his nephew often had unexpected things to say. Some of them might be whimsical, but some of them were very pertinent and even thought-provoking. He couldn't help but say: "Just say whatever comes to mind. Just tell me."
Just say it, is there anything else you don’t dare to do?”
Gao Pragmatic was still hesitant, but finally spoke: "Since Sanbo came back to Xinzheng, he often talked to his nephew about matters in the capital. According to my nephew's opinion, it seems that all major affairs of the imperial court are decided by the cabinet. The emperor is not only talking about official affairs.
When impeaching a minister, he either protects or denounces him, but rarely cares about confidentiality?"
As a minister, talking about the Holy Emperor, these words made Gao Gong slightly hesitant, but he thought that the person who asked this question was his six or seven-year-old nephew. After all, he was still at the age of childish talk.
He still nodded and replied: "Your Majesty was a little late in studying back then. The late emperor... well, he never cultivated your Majesty's ability to handle government affairs. Therefore, since your Majesty inherited Dabao, most of the government affairs of the court were discussed and drafted by the cabinet, and the Chief of Ceremonies was just as usual.
It’s just a matter of criticism. There is no need to hide these things from you. But I think that as time goes by, Your Majesty will become more and more familiar with government affairs even though he has only been exposed to it for a long time... Besides, Your Majesty is kind-hearted.
The people in the Yamen are in full swing, and the power of the Ming Dynasty will continue to flourish."
Gao pragmatically changed the subject lightly and said: "In other words, as long as all officials - especially the cabinet and the six ministries and two houses are running smoothly, the emperor can actually ignore anything, and the country and the people can still be peaceful and peaceful tomorrow?"
Gao Gong intuitively felt that his next question might be a little difficult to answer, but judging from his status and position, the sentence itself was not inappropriate, so he had to answer: "Well, that's roughly the case. However, your Majesty is the lord of the world.
We, the ministers, do not exercise the power of herdsmen on behalf of Your Majesty. This must not be distorted... However, it is the right principle for the Holy Emperor to rule from the ground up."
Gao Pragmatic finally put away his doubts, smiled and said: "In other words, if the emperor trusts the officials and uses the right officials, then the world's great governance is actually not far away, right?"
Only then did Gao Gong feel relieved and said with a smile: "Yes, from the standpoint of a human king, when it comes to governing the world, the most important thing is to be close to the virtuous ministers, far from the villain." He thought for a while, and then added:
"It is precisely because of this that I had previously tried to get rid of the many people who were just doing nothing, and appointed people who were serious about their work. In my dispute with Huating, many people thought that I was greedy for power and was desperate to seize the position of chief minister.
, but I don’t know whether I have the title of chief minister because of the depth of my trust in the Holy One. It’s useless! You are not an outsider. There are some things that Third Uncle can speak frankly. The Holy One is my student. When I was King Yu, I almost relied on him.
I protect him from wind and rain and make suggestions, and his trust in me is almost unreserved. And I have been studying and studying for decades. I am lucky enough to have this king. How can I ignore your kindness and not think about repaying it? You are a scholar of the country.
Treat me well and I will repay you as a countryman! I have been in the court for many years and I know very well that Xu Huating strongly promoted Zun Xin Xue, but did not understand the true meaning of Yangming Gong Xin Xue, and instead fell into the wrong path... As the chief minister, he was pragmatic and pragmatic.
The government is also pragmatic. In this way, the top and bottom of the court only have people who talk high-spirited and talk about the truth, but there are no people who are down-to-earth and dedicated to their work. If this continues, the country will be in danger!"
He sighed, and then continued: "The year you were born, I had made great achievements in compiling history, and because my youngest daughter died young, I was specially allowed to go back to my hometown to visit relatives. Your father was not around at that time, and I had always been close to him, so I took your place on my behalf.
Father named you 'Pragmatic'...you must always remember the meaning of this name."
Gao pragmatic knew that Gao Gong actually admired Wang Yangming himself, but he was quite unhappy with the so-called disciples of Xinxue, thinking that they had misunderstood Yangming Gong's original intention.
Gao pragmatic has also thought about this problem. In the era before he time traveled, there was actually a market for mental studies, especially many people revered Duke Yangming as a saint. However, this time when he time traveled, the Gao family of Xinzheng was born
, but he comes from a family of practical knowledge, and it is inevitable that his butt will determine his head, but he still can't help but say: "Wang Wencheng has made outstanding achievements and is full of integrity in his conduct. His teachings seem to be reasonable... Forgive my nephew's ignorance, I don't know why the third uncle hates him so much
Of?"
Gao Gong said sternly: "Why do I hate Duke Yangming and even Wang Xue?" Then he sneered: "What I hate are his disciples and disciples. Wang Xuejing doesn't know anything about it, but he talks extravagantly about it all day long.
Huh, if there is nothing in your heart, your stomach will be full just by thinking about it. The country will be strong. The people will be rich. The Tatar slaves will be wiped out. The world will be peaceful and stable for a long time. It is simply inexplicable and nonsense!
"
When Gao Pragmatic heard this, he couldn't help but agree greatly. This is simply a simple materialist thought. It is very close to his own understanding! He nodded quickly in agreement, and then asked curiously: "What do you think about Wang?
What is the essence of learning?”
Gao Gong said resolutely: "Nothing else, it's just that if you decide that it's right, do it! Do it with all your heart!" He snorted coldly: "Now those people outside who claim to be kings are rushing to be the first when they talk loudly. I really want to let them do it!"
They do some practical things, and each of them is either "I have an old illness, and I dare not resign from my post in the country, but I am sick and frail, so I am afraid of messing up the work", or "how can I, a gentleman, do such a lowly job?" Hey, this is really reading
Got a belly full of good books! In the past, when King Wencheng was demoted to the Miao Dynasty because he offended Liu Jin, and when he was serving as post office in the land where many officials lived, he never gave up and taught the barbarians. He was deeply loved by the local Han and barbarians, and even "Longchang Enlightenment"
How can they, those who claim to be the elites of Wang Xue, be able to talk so beautifully?"
"What Sanbo said is absolutely true!" Gao Pragmatic nodded: "It is said that practice brings true knowledge! Only practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"
Gao Gong was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then smiled: "That's quite true." Suddenly, he changed his mind and remembered the previous question: "But what does this have to do with what you said before?"
"Ah? Oh, that's it." Gao Pragmatic explained excitedly: "According to what you just said, if the world wants to be governed, all the ministers need to do is to work together.
You have to have enough trust, so no matter who wants to do great things for the world, the first prerequisite is actually to gain the trust of the Holy One, is that right?"
"This... is a little biased, but it's roughly right."
Gao pragmatic said happily: "My nephew believes that if you want to gain the trust of the Holy One, you must first get close to the Holy One. It is said that those who are near the water and towers will get the moon first. Looking at our Ming Dynasty, those who gain the trust of the Holy One can influence the world.
, either the emperor's master or the valet. For example, if you are the emperor's master, and no valet is as close to the emperor as you are, so the emperor has the utmost trust in you. But what about the future, third uncle? Forgive my nephew for being crazy.
Let's wait until the future... When the prince inherits the great treasure, who will he trust the most?"
