Gao pragmatic guessed correctly, Zhu Yijun wanted to use him as the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Shi Xing as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and transferred Shen Li to the position of the Censor of Zuodu.
Zhu Yijun did not leak any information about the transfer of these three important positions, and there was no inside information from Princess Yongning. It was entirely Gao Pragmatic's guess based on his years of understanding of Zhu Yijun.
As for what kind of compensation Zhu Yijun would give to Shen Shixing, or to put it more bluntly, to compensate the Xin School, this is actually not a problem for Zhu Yijun, who has been the emperor for more than ten years. You must know that although he did not take charge of the government earlier, because of his high pragmatism Regarding the relationship, he has been "watching politics" since the prince's period. It has been many years. After all, he has a lot of skills.
Although Gao Pragmatic didn't say it, he had two predictions in his mind: one was to replace Shu Hua, the Minister of Punishment, with a die-hard supporter of Shen Shixing. In fact, Shu Hua himself was also a member of the Xin School, and he was only fifty-one years old ( ), but both of his advantages have certain problems.
Although Shu Hua is a member of the Xin School, he was a gold medalist in the 38th year of Jiajing, one subject earlier than Shen Shixing. He usually does not respect Shen Shixing in particular - of course, disrespect does not mean disrespect, it is just talk. His behavior was a bit reserved, which made Shen Shixing somewhat unhappy.
However, this is not the key point. The key point is that Shu Hua is a very principled person and is a bit "disobedient". After he became a Jinshi in junior high school, he first served as a promotion official in Hengzhou, then as a promotion official in Fengyang Prefecture, and was transferred to the household department in Shizhong. He adopted the policy of appeasing the people and was approved by Emperor Shizong. He was reassigned to the Criminal Department and was given the title of Shizhong. Almost from then on, he became associated with the word "criminal".
At the beginning of Longqing Dynasty, he was moved to the criminal department for the third time. Later, because Gao Gong and Xu Jie had different opinions on the treatment of alchemist Wang Jin and others, Shuhua naturally supported Xu Jie, so after Gao Gong came to power, Shuhua was released Shaanxi participated in politics. As I said just now, this person prefers to "take it easy", so he resigned one after another and returned home.
By the time Zhu Yijun succeeded to the throne, Gao Gong had already reorganized the imperial court with the help of Gao Pragmatic. At this time, the conflict with the Xin School was relatively relaxed (the suppression of the Xin School was also a kind of relaxation), and it was time to appease people's hearts. .So under the guise of Zhu Yijun's imperial edict, Shu Huaqi was reinstated as Taipu Shaoqing.
Unexpectedly, although Shu Hua was young, his health was not good, and he "returned from illness" not long after. After recovering from the illness, Gao Gong resurrected him again and served as minister of Dali Temple in Nanjing. Soon after, he was promoted to Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
The result of so many years of working in the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and other judicial departments is that this guy has a very tough temper and likes to stick to the rules. This is not a bad thing in itself, but the bad thing is that Shen Shixing's style is exactly the opposite of his.
As we all know, Shen Shixing is an all-round crystal monkey. Even if the relationship between the Heart School and the Practical School is so tense now, he can sit down and "negotiate" with Gao Pragmatic. This is evident - of course, Gao Pragmatic himself He is also a slippery guy, so they have the opportunity to sit down and talk. If it were Gao Gong who was still the leader of the party, there would definitely be nothing to talk about.
Therefore, Shuhua's first problem was that he was inconsistent with Shen Shixing's style and did not respect Mr. Yuanfu enough.
The second question has actually been mentioned just now, that is, this person's health is not good, not a small problem, but a big problem. If we want to compare his physical condition, it is probably similar to Zhang Siwei: Zhang Siwei
Siwei once resigned from his job and returned to his hometown due to illness, and Shuhua also resigned from his job and returned to his hometown due to illness. At the age of forty, he was too sick to even work, which shows that his health condition is very worrying.
In fact, it's also to blame that Gao Pingshi didn't know enough about a not-so-well-known figure like Shu Hua in his previous life. If he had known him well enough, he would have known that Shu Hua actually only had two years left to live.
But Gao Pangshi at least knew that at the beginning of this spring, before the Northwest Rebellion broke out, Shuhua fell ill because he accidentally caught a cold during the change of seasons. In about three months, he took a month's leave intermittently.
The emperor sent imperial doctors seven times to diagnose and treat him.
Of course he felt uncomfortable with this physical condition, and he asked to resign twice, but Zhu Yijun refused. But if Zhu Yijun wanted to replace him now, it would not be difficult to do it, as long as he gave a little hint.
Shu Hua will definitely take the initiative to resign. When the time comes, Zhu Yijun will push the boat along, and the Minister of Punishment can be replaced.
As for who to replace, Zhu Yijun only needs to ask Mr. Yuan Fushen to recommend him. As for the recommendation, it is obviously just a formality. The Practical School has gained so many benefits that it is impossible to oppose this nomination.
In addition to replacing the Minister of Punishment, there is a second possibility, which is to add cabinet ministers.
There are currently five people in the cabinet: Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, Zhang Xueyan, Wu Dui, and Wang Jiaping. Many of them are very capable, but certainly not many. It is completely reasonable to add another cabinet minister.
As for the operation, it is not difficult, as long as Shen Shixing asks for it as the chief minister. Although generally speaking, the emperor will decline the initiative of the cabinet to add cabinet ministers, because it is a bit like saying that the cabinet work is not done properly.
.
But sometimes the emperor could "follow his advice". For example, if Shen Shixing asked for advice three times in a row, Zhu Yijun would be able to agree to it, and there would be no problem with the "procedure."
So, why is adding cabinet ministers an option? There is no need to explain this question. Wang Xijue's rule has ended long ago, and now he is eagerly waiting for its return.
Originally, Shen Shixing had planned to resurrect him for a long time, but Wang Xijue relied on his own ambitions and refused to give in to other positions. However, the previous opportunity to join the cabinet was ruined by Gao Pragmatic, so it took him so long to end his rule.
He still stayed in his hometown and refused to move.
Wang Xijue's life and status have been introduced before, so there is no need to go into details here. In short, he does have the capital, and his current failure to join the cabinet is purely due to his high pragmatism.
As for which of these two options Zhu Yijun would choose, it is difficult to judge in a pragmatic way. Theoretically speaking, the latter option is obviously more beneficial to the Heart School, but it is difficult to say whether Zhu Yijun will choose it or not.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the emperor is still close to him, in many cases the emperor may not be willing to have factional imbalances. This is not only because of the stable rule, but also because Zhu Yijun is preoccupied with everything at this time.
On top of the "Eastern System", he may not want the Xin School to sharply oppose the Practical School at this time, causing the government to be delayed.
There are signs of this. For example, this time the ministers of the Practical School caused the Northwest Rebellion. Although it was quickly put down by Gao Pragmatism, the merits are merits and demerits. Rewarding Gao Pragmatism and punishing Gao Guangxian, Liang Wen and Meng are not linked.
.However, Zhu Yijun ignored the recent large number of memorials from Xin School officials demanding severe punishment for Gao Guangxian and Liang Wenmeng. This is very interesting, indicating that he did not want this matter to expand and become a conflict between the Xin School and the Real School.
Arena.
What Zhu Yijun wanted was for the stability of the government, to implement the issue of opening the vassal and banning the vassal as early as possible, handle it properly, and loosen the financial constraints of the court, so that he could have the financial resources to launch a large-scale attack on the Chahar tribe, wipe out the remaining Yuan in one fell swoop, and realize the capital of the second ancestors.
The great achievements that could not be realized established his own historical position.
The emperor is already the supreme one in the world. It is unrealistic to expect him to have any other pursuits. Under the influence of Gao Gong and others’ teachings and Gao Pragmatism, at least the emperor’s ambitions are very positive.
That's enough. It's better than liking wine ponds and meat forests, isn't it?
However, under these circumstances, it was difficult for Liu Xin to give Gao Pragmatic any advice. After all, her strengths were not in this area.
So soon the two of them started talking about another thing. Although this was the first time for Liu Xin to hear about it, she was quite interested in it.
Gao Pingshi was talking about Queen Wang.
Previously, Gao Mo told Gao Jingshi that Princess Yongning had requested to meet Gao Jingshi before. After the two met today, some unspeakable things happened. Gao Jingshi thought that Princess Yongning wanted to see him because she was simply lovesick. Who knows?
It’s really not true. Princess Yongning has accomplished a major event with high pragmatism.
Queen Wang agreed to let Li Shizhen see a doctor!
This is really not easy, and the impact of this incident is extremely huge. Although Gao Pragmatic has not urged it, he is actually very anxious - after all, this incident is directly related to the "National War" that had a great impact in original history.
.
In the 14th year of Wanli in the original history, as the movement to liquidate Zhang Juzheng came to an end, the noise in the court gradually subsided. Zhu Yijun's diligence and ability in handling government affairs made everyone feel that the British Lord was coming and ZTE could be expected.
It felt like no one could have imagined that all of this was punctured by the cry of a baby boy.
The baby boy who made this cry was named Zhu Changxun. He was Zhu Yijun’s third son (all of them had died in infancy) and the first son born to Zhu Yijun and his beloved woman Zheng Guifei. You can imagine what happened at this moment.
Zhu Yijun's heart will definitely be filled with joy.
However, the hearts of the civil servant group were disturbed by this cry and filled with worries.
In order to prevent civil strife caused by princes competing for the crown prince position and ensure that the crown prince can receive training as soon as possible, the Ming Dynasty has always had a tradition of establishing crown princes early. For example, Ming Yingzong was established as crown prince only four months after his birth.
Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty was established as the crown prince when he was six years old, Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty was established as the crown prince when he was two years old, and Zhu Yijun himself was established as the crown prince when he was five years old.
At this time, Zhu Yijun's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, was already five years old and had not yet been established as the crown prince. Of course, the civil service group was very worried that Zhu Yijun would make Zhu Changxun the crown prince by ennobling Concubine Zheng as the queen.
On the third day of the second lunar month of the 14th day of the Wanli calendar, Shen Shixing, the chief minister of the cabinet, submitted a memorial to Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty requesting Zhu Changluo to be appointed as the crown prince. However, Zhu Yijun not only had no response to this, but also prepared to promote Concubine Zheng as the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine was only one step away from the empress, so Zhu Yijun's move almost confirmed the worries of the civil servant group. After that, Jiang Yinglin, a member of the household department, Shen Jing, a member of the civil service department, and Sun Rufa, the director of the criminal department, etc. , not only requested that Zhu Changluo be appointed as the crown prince, but also proposed that Zhu Changluo’s biological mother, Wang Gongfei, should be granted the title of Concubine Wang Gong first, and then Concubine Zheng.
The promotion of Jiang Yinglin and others made Zhu Yijun furious, and as a result they were demoted. Later, in order to dispel the worries of the courtiers, Zhu Yijun made the decision that "the demotion is not for the purpose of canonization. If they are suspicious, I will appoint the young and deprive the elders." explain.
In the face of the fact that Zhu Yijun still did not appoint Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, his explanation was obviously a bit pale, so Sun Weicheng and Yang Shaocheng, the imperial censors, Hu Shilin and others sent letters one after another to request that Zhu Changluo be appointed as the crown prince, while Zhu Yijun had a tough attitude He expressed his refusal, and the curtain of the national war began.
These things happened in the original history, and they have happened now. However, Zhu Yijun gave an additional explanation: the reason why he did not appoint a crown prince was because the queen was still young, and he still had hope of giving birth to a legitimate son - in other words, If the queen gives birth to a legitimate son, the legitimate son will be the crown prince.
This was won by Gao Jingshi, because Zhu Yijun also knew that Gao Jingshi was also a supporter of Queen Wang.
In March of the 42nd year of Wanli in the original history, Zhang Cha attempted to assassinate the crown prince Zhu Changluo. Zhu Changxun and his mother, Princess Zheng, became the objects of widespread suspicion. Zhu Yijun was forced to order Zhu Changxun to protect Zhu Changxun's mother and son. As for Luoyang, the feud over the country that lasted for nearly thirty years came to an end.
On the surface, the dispute over the country that lasted for nearly thirty years made the hustle and bustle in the Ming Dynasty gradually subsided more serious than before, leaving Zhu Yijun in a state of neglect for a long time. But in fact, Gao Pragmatic knew very well that the country The negative impact of this dispute on the Ming Dynasty went far beyond that.
During the nearly thirty-year struggle over the foundation of the country, Zhu Yijun took measures to weaken the power of the civil service group that advocated appointing Zhu Changluo as the crown prince. According to Mr. Qian Mu's statistics in the "Outline of National History", only in In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, "the two capitals are short of three ministers, ten ministers, and ninety-four ministers. The world is short of three governors, sixty-six supervisors, and twenty-five prefects." Even if the civil servants requested supplements, Zhu Yijun Don't listen at all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The censors and governors of the Ming Dynasty were the core of the supervisory system in the Ming Dynasty. The problem of lack of officials was so serious. It is conceivable that the supervisory system of the Ming Dynasty was at the core of the country. In the process of fighting, it has become paralyzed.
With the paralysis of the supervisory system, the problem of official corruption during the Wanli period will inevitably be greatly intensified. The resulting land annexation, refugee uprisings and other problems will definitely drag the Ming Dynasty into an abyss of eternal disaster.
In the nearly thirty-year struggle over the country, although the civil service group unanimously supported the appointment of Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, they were divided into the Donglin Party and the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xuan and Kun Party factions for their own interests. Due to the dispute over the origin of the country and the conflict over interests, the two factions have successively launched a series of cases such as the Three Kings Confederation, the Kingdom of King Fu, the Prison of Prince Chu, the Han Jing Examination Case, the Xinhai Imperial Examination, the Dingsi Imperial Examination, the Demon Book Case, and the Fence Attack Case. Incidents, and even the Taichang, Hongwan and Migong cases during the Apocalypse period are all related to this.
Amid the entanglement between national origin and interests, the Wanli dynasty's government fell into a state of extreme chaos. This chaos was even eventually exploited by Nurhaci, resulting in the Ming army's defeat at the hands of Nurhaci's Eight Banners Army in the Battle of Sarhu.
This is not over yet. Zhu Yijun failed to fill the vacancies in the civil service group, and the Donglin Party within the civil service group criticized each other and the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and other parties. As a result, a large number of scholars who wanted to serve the country as officials were unable to enter the official career or were unwilling to enter.
In the Ming Dynasty, these people were collectively called "shanren".
Although the "mountain people" have no chance of official career, their enthusiasm to actively participate in politics has not diminished. Therefore, the "mountain people" mostly participate in politics by becoming ministers of the cabinet and ministers of the governor. For example, Shen Shixing, the chief minister of the cabinet
The ministers are Huang Xiyuan and Lu Yingyang, and the cabinet ministers Li Tingji are Chen Jiude and Pan Wei.
Most of the "mountain people" who can become cabinet ministers and governor's guests are famous and have prominent family backgrounds, so they can form a kind of relationship between them.
The governor's participation in politics is a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship. Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, the cabinet ministers and governors in various places mostly used "mountain people" as their secret guests.
However, becoming a court guest is, after all, just a helpless move for "mountain people" who cannot enter the official career, and over time, they will inevitably be dissatisfied with indirectly participating in politics as a court guest. As dissatisfaction continues to accumulate in their hearts, they
You will definitely find ways to break the status quo.
As for the way to break the status quo, it is very bad: when the Ming court has strong control over various places, they will support the people they join to obtain higher power, so that they can exert greater political influence
; When the Ming Dynasty's control over various places weakened, they would support their own governors to separatist rule.
For example, after the fall of the Hongguang court in the Southern Ming Dynasty, the main force supporting Lu Jianguo, Lu Jianguo, Longwu court, Shaowu court, and Yongli court either stood side by side or fought for each other were the "mountain people" who became the guests of the governors of various places. Therefore, "
The emergence of "shanren" provided the basic conditions for the recurrence of the feudal separatist regime in the Ming Dynasty.
Since the dispute over the country's foundation has such a big and bad influence, how could Gao Jingshi not be anxious? Now when Princess Yongning brought the good news that the queen was persuaded by her and was willing to accept Li Shizhen's medical treatment, how could Gao Jingshi be unhappy?
The reason why he was so high-spirited when he came in from outside just now was not just because... there was a spring breeze.
