Chapter 168 Be Prepared

It is normal for the body to become hot after drinking, but Gao Pragmatic is not a drinker, and he will not get drunk when he is drunk. At this time, he was suddenly blown by the cold wind. Although he shivered, he suddenly became clear and clear. He roughly guessed that Zhu Yijun

The meaning comes.

In essence, Zhu Yijun has a lot of tangles in his heart. He is very dissatisfied with many ancestral systems and wants to change them in his hands. For this reason, he constantly uses victory in various wars to consolidate and strengthen his authority.

, regard the pacification of Chahar as his first priority, and all other things must give way.

But on the other hand, he also knew that his ability to be the emperor reliably relied on the authority of the ancestral system. In the past, the Empress Dowager Cisheng said that she would change the throne to King Lu, but most of her words were just a mother-in-law trying to scare her son - just like

In an ordinary relationship between mother and son, the mother threatens to be spanked if she continues to disobey, but as an emperor, Zhu Yijun cannot be insensitive to such words and cannot be vigilant afterwards.

The foreign court had a clear attitude towards this at the time, and the chief minister directly expressed opposition. This was not only support for himself, but also an insistence on the ancestral system.

Therefore, the ancestral system is also a double-edged sword for Zhu Yijun. When his authority is stable, he can indeed change some ancestral systems, but no matter what the reason or method for making the change, no matter how much benefit the change ultimately achieves

, will still shake the foundation of his authority, and even have a negative impact on his future emperors.

For example, after he dies in the future and his son succeeds to the throne, will he think that "since the imperial examination can be changed, then I can also change it" in some matters, and then treat him as an "ancestral system" that is very important and correct?

Also change it?

Most fathers have a worry about their sons, that is, they feel that their sons are immature and do not think things through, and they need to arrange everything for them. Zhu Yuanzhang had this kind of worry about his children and grandchildren, and it was extremely strong.

, so a lot of ancestral systems were set up.

Although Zhu Yijun is still young, now that he has become a father, this kind of thoughts will inevitably come up. This is probably similar to what later generations say, "If you are not a parent, you don't know the kindness of your parents." Therefore, Zhu Yijun is also very worried about his children and grandchildren.

Act recklessly.

The ancestral system should be changed, but it cannot be changed casually. This was Zhu Yijun's problem, and it also caused his thoughts to be extremely entangled.

Regarding Princess Yongning's marriage, Zhu Yijun's mentality may also be affected by this entanglement. He has always been a sentimental person, so one can imagine how annoyed he was about his sister's marriage turning out like this.

But the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is here, and the Tianjia wants to set an example for the ethics and education of the world. In this era where chaste and martyr women have to be reported by local officials to the emperor, and then the emperor issues an edict to commend them.

Zhu Yijun really couldn't issue an order to let Princess Yongning "remarry" - although the princess' marriage was not called marriage, that was the meaning after all.

Moreover, there is a huge problem in letting her remarry, that is, she already has a heart, and if she is given a marriage to someone else, she may not be forced to death. But Gao is pragmatic and has a wife, so from the emperor's point of view

Look, let alone the relationship between him and Huang Zhiting, just to the extent that he values ​​his reputation, he will definitely not divorce his wife and remarry just because he wants to "climb a dragon and a phoenix".

As a result, Zhu Yijun couldn't handle both ends. If he really tried to force it, he might force the death of two people who were both very important to him. How could this be possible?

But the dissatisfaction with the ancestral system in his heart will become increasingly intensified because of this "want to do but cannot do". Ordinary people may have to endure this kind of mentality, but the emperor may find it difficult to endure. So he will feel in his heart

There is a strong will to "I want to try", even if it is obviously not possible, secretly "I want to try".

Gao Qingshi felt that this was Zhu Yijun's main idea. I really couldn't touch this ancestral system, but I wanted to challenge it, even if it meant cheating.

This mentality is very similar to his decades-long Cold War with the foreign court due to the dispute over the country's origins in original history: No matter how fancy your talk is, I won't listen or cooperate. What can you do?

At present, the dispute over the country has been temporarily delayed by Gao Pragmatic's suggestions. Zhu Yijun's "hard work" spirit has actually been transferred elsewhere, and Gao Pragmatic can only respond with a wry smile.

However, Zhu Yijun's handling of Ye He's marriage today made Gao pragmatic feel that the current emperor was beginning to like to play the trick of killing two birds with one stone.

Once a person's habits are formed, they will tend to be consistent in handling various things. Just like his habit of being pragmatic and never taking risks, seeking progress while maintaining stability, Zhu Yijun may also be used to hiding secondary goals behind his main goals.

Target.

Zhu Yijun's main goal is to quietly challenge the ancestral system for the people he values ​​​​so what is his secondary goal?

Gao pragmatic felt that Zhu Yijun might have dug a hole for him in advance, but there was no sign of burying it yet.

What would it mean to a "famous minister of a generation" if he secretly went to the princess's mansion to have an affair one day? It would mean that not only had he committed a crime, but the image he had built over the years would also collapse.

In addition, the extent of this crime can only be determined by others. After all, the Ming Dynasty was not the Tang Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's laws did not take into account such weird things as someone having an affair with Her Royal Highness. In the end, the size of the crime and the severity of the sentence depended on the government and the opposition.

reaction and the emperor's final breakup.

As a habitual criminal who engages in conspiracy, Gao Pangshi suddenly thought of the possibility: if he always maintains his current "loyalty", Zhu Yijun's move is simply to satisfy his sister's lovesickness, without any other intention; what if?

Tianzhu Yijun feels that he has betrayed him, or has seriously deteriorated beyond repair. Then the next moment Dongchang or Jinyiwei will find out that he has sneaked into the princess mansion...

Of course, considering Zhu Yijun's love for his sister, it is estimated that the blame will all be attributed to him. Princess Yongning must be unable to break free from the clutches, and she has to protect the reputation of the Tian family so she cannot make it public. In short, it is all his fault for being pragmatic and lustful.

Audacious and evil-minded.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Good guy! His Majesty the Emperor has really grown up. While he clearly remembers the friendship between the two, he also knows that as an emperor, he must always be wary of anyone.

Okay, okay, I am worthy of what I taught you...

Are you trapping yourself in a cocoon? It seems a bit, but Gao Pragmatic found surprisingly that he was not angry, but actually wanted to laugh.

It's not a mocking smile, but a satisfied smile. It's as if all these years of hard work have not been in vain, and even if it's a bit of a trap, it still makes you smile.

The young eunuch who led Gao Jingshi was the godson of Chen Jushou. Seeing Gao Pingshi laughing inexplicably, he was a little surprised and a little surprised. He asked cautiously: "I don't know why the great Sinong is laughing?"

Naturally, Gao Pragmatic wouldn't say this to him. He laughed and said, "Oh, I was just laughing at how good the snow is. The auspicious snow heralds a good year. I hope there will be a good year next year."

The young eunuch was obviously a little confused. Hasn't it been like this every year in the past few years? The second year has not been much better. The saying that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest must be changed. What happened to Gao Situ today?

Happy events make you laugh inexplicably?

When he returned to the house after his shift, he first told Liu Xin about Meng Gu Zhezhe's incident. Liu Xin looked disdainful and said: "You think the emperor has made great progress in this field, but I only think that neither of you are."

What a good man."

Gao Pragmatic was startled for a moment and wondered: "What does this have to do with whether we are good people or not?"

Liu Xin glanced at him sideways and hummed softly: "I have never met Meng Guzhezhe, and I don't know what kind of woman she is, but she is a person first, not a piece of goods. If you do this, it's like

She is just a gift that can be given to the emperor by Ye He, and the emperor can also give it to you again - Gao Situ, do you know the term objectifying women?"

If Liu Xin asked this to anyone other than Gao Jingshi, she would probably be regarded as having a mental problem. If nothing else, when Huang Zhiting married Gao Jingshi, she had hundreds of maids alone. To talk about reification, this was

Too little materialization?

But after all, Gao Pragmatic is different from people of this era. After hearing this, he was immediately speechless. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "You are right to criticize me. It is my thinking that has declined. I should review it."

Liu Xin shook her head and said, "You say that, but I know you don't really think that way in your heart. You only think about 'this moment and that moment'."

She sighed and said helplessly: "However, I don't have to force you to look at people and things at this time from a modern point of view. It's just... Well, I just hope that you can treat her as a person in the future, not just as a person."

A tool used to tie Ye He."

Gao Pragmatic smiled bitterly and said: "You are really philanthropic."

"fraternity?" Liu Xin glanced at him sideways: "I think you are more of a 'fraternity', I just feel the same way."

Gao pragmatic curled his lips: "You want to talk about tools. In fact, I didn't want to use her as a tool in this matter. It was her two brothers, especially her brother Nalinbulu, who made the decision to treat me.

Word……"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xin took over and said, "For you, it's just a matter of following the trend, you can even say that you're just taking advantage of the situation, right?"

Gao pragmatic paused for a moment and asked: "Otherwise, what should I do? Reject Ye He and let her marry Nurhachi as in history, and give birth to Huang Taiji in the future, causing trouble for the Ming Dynasty? Or not only not refuse, but even

Force yourself to fall in love with her?"

Now it was Liu Xin's turn to be speechless. She choked and said angrily: "I just said you should be nicer to her. Whether you love her or not, can I care who you love or not?"

Gao pragmatically spread his hands but said nothing more.

Seeing that he stopped arguing, Liu Xin said: "Whether you, the monarch and your ministers, plan to kill two birds with one stone, or kill three people with two peaches, that is all your business. From your status and perspective, it is understandable to do so.

After all, this matter fundamentally stems from Ye He's desire to use your prestige and power to pave the way for them, to ensure that Nurhachi does not dare to act rashly and to give them time to gradually recover from the blow of Chahar.

; Secondly, they also hope to continue to maintain and improve their status in the Liaodong border market trade system, thereby making the position of the most powerful Jurchen chieftain more stable.

You are the boss. Since you want to ask me what I think, I can only say... The current situation in Liaodong is quite a test of your balancing methods. Ye He is strong, and Nurhachi is better at using troops. Judging from the current situation, the two sides are in a difficult situation.

A semblance of peace may be maintained under your deterrence and balance.

But I think you'd better not place too much hope on this kind of peace, or don't expect this kind of peace to really exist. Even if they are peaceful on the surface, they will definitely make other moves in private. You have to have

It’s better to be prepared.”

Gao Pinggong said sincerely: As long as emotional issues are not brought up, Liu Xin is still quite sensible and realistic.

He coughed lightly and returned to the topic, saying: "You are right, they are all living people, of course they will have their own ideas. But I have also considered the situation you mentioned, I guess

Ye He will not consider using force to suppress Nurhaci for a while.

They will most likely try to restore their strength first, and then use the trade methods that they are good at and have an advantage to gradually weaken Nurhachi's expansion momentum, making Nurhaci unable to use troops even if he wants to.

As for Nurhachi, I guess that although he will not ignore the pressure I put on him and risk being swept away by the Ming Dynasty Liting to attack Ye He, he will not be indifferent to Ye He's various methods of suppressing his trade income.

"

Liu Xin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Then what do you think he will do?"

Gao pragmatically said: "I don't think this is much different from fighting. Since it is no longer feasible for Black Tiger to go straight to Huanglong, there are only two ways. One is to attack in a roundabout way, forcing his opponent to fight hand to hand with him.

;The second is to remove the wings first, and then to the final battle."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How to make a roundabout way, and what wings does Ye He have?" Liu Xin asked.

Gao Katana: "In a roundabout way, for example, if Ye He is good at business, then Nurhaci will not compete with him in business, but will promote that Ye He's wealth comes from making money from other ministries - if other ministries directly compete with me

If they trade with the Ming Dynasty, they can make a lot more money, at least they can save Ye He's 'middleman price difference'. If Nurhaci can do this, maybe he can regain some situation on another battlefield.

"

Liu Xin thought for a while, shook her head slightly and said: "I think this is a bit difficult. The Ming Dynasty relied on the imperial book trade to control the Jurchens, and now besides Hada, Ye He has the most imperial books. It is precisely because they have these imperial books

, so they can form a huge team of merchants.

Even if other tribes know this, the edicts in their hands are limited. Even if they want to trade with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty may not pay attention. In the end, they still have to rely on Ye He to find them to buy the special products in their hands. Therefore, as long as the edicts still represent the trade volume,

Nurhaci has no chance of winning if he wants to attack in such a roundabout way."

Gao Pragmatic nodded: "Yes, so I am more inclined to think that Nurhaci will choose to remove Ye He's wings first and force Ye He to take the initiative to send troops."

"What wings does Ye He have?" Liu Xin asked.
