In the original history of the Ming Dynasty, many of the disastrous defeats that occurred in the last years of the Ming Dynasty had a lot to do with the fact that the front lines were fought and the party strife in the court was held back. This seems to have been revealed at this time. However, the Ming Dynasty at this moment is not that
The Ming Dynasty at that time and the high pragmatism at this moment are not easily shaken by anyone.
Six hundred thousand troops are fighting abroad, and most of the important generals are from his Gao Jinglue sect, or at least they have been favored and protected by Gao Dang. The only major general who does not belong to Gao Dang's lineage, Li Rusong, himself
He has been directly commanded by Gao Pragmatic on many occasions.
It is rumored that Li Rusong and his father Li Chengliang have different attitudes towards Gao pragmatically. Although the former still stayed under the wings of the Xin School after replacing his father in the Liao Dynasty, it is said that his relationship with Gao pragmatically is quite harmonious, and he has revealed this in private
He admired Gao Jinglue. From this point of view, Li Rusong would probably not be happy to conflict with Gao Pragmatic.
And the most critical thing at this time is that Li Rusong only brought out less than 40,000 troops in this battle, and it was not a big threat to Gao Pragmatic, who had more than 500,000 troops.
In addition, Gao Jingshi's prestige among Tumut, Ye He and other forces is unparalleled. It is obviously extremely unwise to suppress him at this time, especially... if he does it just because of a trivial matter like Li Song,
That's just plain stupid.
However, the Xin School is not without capable people. This truth should not be invisible, so why do they still do this?
Without him, it would be impossible to stabilize the morale of the army. Li Song was the face of the Xin School in Ji Liao, and his status in the eyes of the civil service group was higher than that of Li Rusong. From the time when Li Song became the governor of Liaodong to the current governor of Ji Liao, he has always been regarded as
This is regarded as the strong presence of the Xin School in Ji Liao and the main basis for the Xin School to maintain its last vestige of voice in the entire Nine-Side System.
In other words, once Li Song is gone, with only Li Rusong and the 40,000 Liaodong cavalry in his hands, as well as a group of generals promoted by his father Li Chengliang, no one in the Xinxue School is optimistic that they can withstand the guerrilla attack.
Highly pragmatic and powerful, truly insisting on standing on the side of "justice".
Therefore, Li Song's sudden downfall may be just "death if not life" in Gao Pangshi's view, nothing more than a matter of fact. But in the eyes of officials from the Xin School, Gao Dang of the Practical School has launched a full-scale attack on them to completely eliminate them.
Their influence in the nine-sided system.
Even if we are all civil servants, and some things are difficult to say directly, but you want to hold the entire Jiubian firmly in your hands with your own strength, is this too much? Not only do you have no other colleagues in your eyes,
The ministers have even regarded the emperor as nothing!
All kinds of impeachment memorandums with insinuations, accusations of insults and even outright rants once again flew into the cabinet, and then the cabinet posted a seemingly innocuous, but actually hidden murderous vote to be sent to the Chief of Ceremonies.
During this process, Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue worked tirelessly, sitting in the cabinet all day long to ensure that the words on the ballot paper not only looked fair and majestic, but were actually murderous.
Among the ceremonial supervisors, Chen Ju, who usually did not come to sit in person very often, was also in place. Although he did not dare to do anything with the documents and drafts sent by the cabinet, the ceremonial supervisor had his own way of influencing the emperor's perception.
Strategies. These strategies are not static, but will be reasonably adjusted according to the personalities of different emperors.
For example, now, Chen Ju has very patiently put together all the memorials that criticized Gao Pragmatism, and divided these memorials into two parts. One part is a somewhat restrained speech, that is, insinuations, accusations and criticisms.
That category; the other category is those who speak fiercely, curse loudly, and even criticize those who are highly pragmatic and reckless.
Before sending the impeachments to the imperial court for approval, Chen Ju counted a total of twenty-seven impeachments in the former category and a total of thirty-nine impeachments in the latter category. Because of this incident, Gao Jingshi received a total of sixty-six impeachments.
This does not rule out the possibility that some local impeachments have not yet reached the capital.
It’s really another “overwhelming” situation!
Chen Ju sighed and said to himself: It seems to be really powerful and overwhelming. It's a pity that after so many years, why are they still unwilling to face reality and consider the emperor's character when taking action?
The Wanli Emperor seems to be able to listen to advice, but in fact, he is only slightly less stubborn than his grandfather Shimiao. He usually does not directly issue orders to drag people out on the spot and beat them to death with the imperial staff. Why do you just do this?
Do you think that such a scene will cause the emperor to change his commander on the spot?
You know, that is Gao Situ! He is the successor of Gao Wenzhenggong, the only six champions recognized by the imperial court, the most talented scholar in the north and south, the best literary marshal in the world, Tumote's "three generations of Mingwang", Ye He
The savior of Hada and Horqin, the leader of the Jingnan Honorable Group, and His Majesty’s own classmate, Xiaohe... is my brother-in-law.
Such a person is leading 89% of the Ming Dynasty's main field troops on an expedition. Do you expect the emperor to punish him for making trouble? What a joke!
Originally, if you didn't do this, it would be nothing more than losing the governor of Ji Liao. If you cry miserably, the emperor may be soft-hearted and give you some compensation, so that you can gain the mulberry tree in the east. But now that this is happening, God knows the emperor.
If we are worried about the frontline being shaken, what will be our response?
Things were indeed as Chen Ju thought. When he brought this pile of bullets to the emperor, His Majesty, who had been in a good mood recently because he learned that the queen was pregnant, immediately changed his expression and asked with a tigerish face: "
Is this all pragmatic about impeachment?”
"Yes, Your Majesty, these are all." Chen Ju maintained his usual cautious attitude and explained: "The ones on the left are quite tactful; the ones on the right are...well, they are..."
"You were yelling at me, right? Humph, I really got stepped on the cat's tail." Zhu Yijun took a book from the right side with disdain, and at the same time ordered: "Put it down, I am in a good mood today, and I want to experience these things."
What do the loyal and righteous men say? Are they saying that he wants to imitate Lu Wu and act recklessly, or are they saying that he has already arrived at Chenqiao Station?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the emperor's words are obviously negative, the words "Lu Wu Cao Mang" and "Chen Qiao Yibian" are really too shocking for any dynasty.
As for Chen Ju, he still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Zhu Yijun didn't see this detail. He had already opened the impeachment report and started reading it. He looked at it for a few times, then suddenly laughed and said, "Chen Ju, have you read all these memorials?"
Chen Ju didn't know what the emperor's intention was. As a rule, the eunuch and eunuch who solemnly controlled the documents and drafts sent by the cabinet to the Supervisor of Ceremonies "should" have read them, but "should" belongs to "should" and the actual operation
But not necessarily. Of course he might read the important ones, but it would be difficult to say about the less important ones. Of course, he had read today's essay, but he didn't dare to give such a simple answer at the moment.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. There are too many of them today. I just took a rough look at them and may have missed a lot."
"Well, let me read a few words to you. If you listen to what I say, it will really make a cuckoo cry." It turned out that the emperor didn't have much other meaning, which made Chen Ju quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Then the emperor was heard chanting in a mellow tone: "... This shows that he is highly pragmatic and disdainful of the country. He is evil inside. He is called Situ inside, but he is actually like the King of Yue outside. He regards the laws of his ancestors as nothing, and His Majesty Mo's ministers are like dogs and horses.
He claimed to be good at managing national finances, but he only used Sang Hongyang's theory as his own plan, and ignored the serious mistreatment of the people in the world.
Such a highly pragmatic person holds his master hostage by supporting the army, and plunders the world by amassing wealth. The ministers protect their families but dare not discuss it, and the junior ministers dare not speak up to protect their small fortunes. They reverse the rules and regulations and act arbitrarily. Since ancient times, the treachery of ministers has been
Nothing like what pragmatism is doing today..."
Zhu Yijun laughed, threw the memorial on the imperial desk, looked sideways at Chen Ju and asked, "What do you think?"
Chen Ju has always been a cautious person. Although the emperor's words were full of sarcasm, he still said in as neutral a tone as possible: "It doesn't sound like he is talking about Gao Situ, but it sounds like he is talking about Cai Jing."
"Hey, they really like to compare pragmatism to Cai Jing. Sometimes I wonder, what are the similarities between the two? Is it just because they are both good at managing money?"
Zhu Yijun said disdainfully: "But even Cai Jing, although he has his evils, his political talent is still outstanding, and he is better than those mediocre people. As for pragmatism, his political talent is twice that of Cai Jing, and his military talent is ten times
Cai Jing, he is a hundred times as good as Cai Jing, how can he be compared?"
The emperor's words "twice, ten times, and a hundred times" are naturally not actual meaning, but just to illustrate the gap. Chen Ju actually agreed with this view. However, he still just said: "The ministers are porridge, but not the president."
In the Sacred Heart.”
Zhu Yijun curled his lips and smiled, holding another book in his hand with a contemptuous expression, opened it and looked at it a few more times, and said: "Well, we even have the 'Ten Evils of High Pragmatism'. Look at these major sins: blasphemy against God, disregard for the law."
The king's father, forges alliances with helpers, is light on nobility and salary, changes laws and regulations, makes arbitrary plans, suppresses the throne and admonishes, is passionately loyal to the party, has poor civil servants, and is cautious and far-sighted... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this is really an unforgivable crime."
Before Chen Ju opened his mouth to answer, Zhu Yijun continued to read: "He has accompanied the Lord for a long time, and his power has shaken the country. The light tin is used for the state, entrusted by Juelu as a private favor, and the generals are used to build a family business, and canal transportation is used.
Fat Private Harbor.
He built a mausoleum in the name of consecration to see the emperor's sleeping place; he offered kindness on the pretext of disaster relief to capture the hearts of all people. His name is getting newer day by day, and it is suspected that the world is old; his wife lives in Dingnan, and she is showing her heart to crack the earth.
The acres of land disturb the people who have a good job, and the evil of focusing on craftsmen and gathering them in the county. His unruly and unfaithful behavior can lead to dozens of things..."
Chen Ju really couldn't stand it this time, and said helplessly: "Such a statement is really far-fetched."
"Far-fetched? Far-fetched!" Zhu Yijun sneered unceremoniously after hearing this: "It's a joke to say that he 'accompanies the master with his age, and his power is powerful throughout the country'! I was only in my early teens at the time, and I didn't even have the power to dominate the country.
Well, his companion is so powerful in the country?
It is strange to me to say that he "lights the tin for national use, and entrusts the juelu to the market for personal favors". Did he sell his official position and get a title, or was he awarded an official position privately? If you have evidence, you should show it!
As for "the generals work to build a family's business, and the canal transportation is improved to enrich the private harbor", I heard that in the early years, he paid for the craftsmen who would serve as supervisors to do work, but they paid money;
The latter is even more outrageous. At that time, it was the court's decision to also engage in shipping, and it was fair and honest to build a private port pragmatically. They even told me - these people also have a lot of money in their hands, why don't they build it? I don't know how to do business.
What's the point of blaming others for being too smart?
"Building a mausoleum in the name of consecration to see the emperor's sleeping place; showing kindness on the pretense of disaster relief to capture the hearts of all people", what a big crime! But he donated cement to build the mausoleum because the two empress dowagers missed him and cherished the late emperor.
It is a special act of kindness; as for providing disaster relief and distributing wealth, it is a gentleman's act based on the virtue of good fortune.
How did it come to their mouths that the former was taking the opportunity to pry into the construction method of the emperor's tomb and prepare for his future arrogance; the latter was to win people's hearts in the hope of changing the future? What's the matter, the world of our Wanli Dynasty
, is it so difficult to be a good person who repays kindness and obeys the heart of heaven?
'The name is getting newer day by day, and it is suspected that the world is old; the wife lives in Dingnan, and she is showing her heart to crack the earth.' I have really gained experience. When he was still young, he and I often discussed the ills of the world, and we waited for him to learn something.
To succeed, to achieve something as an official, to express one's ambition with "daily innovation", what's the difference?
His wife, Mrs. Huang, had already married a man of her dreams and could live happily in the capital. In the past, she led troops to help in the war because the rebellion in Burma was difficult to quell. Later, in order to eliminate hidden dangers in southern Xinjiang, she raided small groups and settled in the wilderness.
Returning to your husband's side is a matter of loyalty to the country and abandoning peace and happiness! These idiots use Huang's loyalty and righteousness to do slanderous things. If I don't strictly enforce it, what will the chieftains from all over the world think when they hear this?
As for the evil of "having an acre of land that disturbs the people who have a good job, and focusing on craftsmen and moving to the county", this is even more ridiculous. Measuring the acres of land has enabled the court to find out that there are more than tens of millions of acres of hidden land and other types of concealment, and the court's annual income
As a result, there has been a huge increase, and this increase was originally illegally hidden in the past. Measuring the acres is what the original Qingyuan did.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But when it comes to these people, it actually disturbs the "people who live in peace"? Then I have to ask, when our ancestors established these land acres system, are they disturbing the people?
?
There is also the importance of craftsmen. In the early years, pragmatism often said that craftsmen should be valued, but I didn’t pay much attention to it at that time. But looking at the situation in recent years, if there were no such efforts to emphasize craftsmen, how could the frontier army have the brand-new armaments it has today?
, how can countless merchants prosper north and south? Now they are still saying that heavy craftsmen are gathering evil, I can only say that their elm heads need to be shaved off!"
Chen Ju felt relieved when he saw that the emperor actually criticized them point by point. He leaned over and said, "Everything is as it seems to the emperor." After a pause, he then said with a worried look on his face: "It's just that the outer court is filled with excitement right now.
Most of the officials are from the south of the Yangtze River, and it just so happens that the turmoil in the Cao Army has not yet subsided, so I'm afraid... they still need to do their best."
When Zhu Yijun heard the following words, he nodded slightly and said: "Although there are many doubts about the Cao Army incident, the chaos is about to start. After all, it is necessary to calm down first and then investigate the cause in detail. It really cannot be at this juncture..." He didn't
I can't say it in detail, but the meaning is already obvious.
The emperor calmed down, walked around a few times, and muttered: "I won't look at the other impeachments in detail one by one. You can reply according to the following meaning: Gao Pragmatic's actions are reasonable and reasonable, and many of the comments are wrong, so they should be put aside.
. However, Li Ruhua’s temporary replacement is only a temporary expedient. I ordered Mr. Shen and his cabinet ministers to quickly draft a successor, submit it to me for approval, and take office as soon as possible, so as not to delay the grand plan of conquering the Yuan Dynasty.”
