Chapter 276 Candidates for Defeating Yuan (Eighty One)
The day after Zhu Pihua announced the emperor's imperial decree as an imperial edict, the news was reported on the front pages of Beijing Times and Shixue Dynasty. Among them, Shixue Dynasty also published an editorial at the same time, discussing in detail the high pragmatism
Let’s discuss the legality of Shang Fangjian’s exercise of the power to depose the governor of Ji Liao, and the rationality of why he did so under the circumstances at that time.
The status of the two newspapers in the capital newspaper industry is unquestionable, and they also have a large number of fans among the people. Many people who are illiterate but gather in teahouses and restaurants every day to listen to the newspapers will obviously be affected, and then spread the news wider and wider, and finally form public opinion.
There is another very important factor here, that is, Gao Pragmatic's popularity has always been very high. Judging from past experience, almost as long as it involves him, the vast majority of the people in the capital will side with him without hesitation.
On one side.
The formation of popular popularity is not simple at all, but it is not complicated at all. In a feudal society like the Ming Dynasty, when a person has a highly pragmatic background, has accomplished many achievements, and has also provided relief to the victims from time to time,
After resettling the refugees and being promoted by several major newspapers, his image among the people will naturally be almost perfect.
Chinese people have always had a traditional mentality of infinitely elevating personal morality. To put it simply, when they believe that you are a good person, then everything you do must be selfless and out of good intentions, and it must be correct in the end.
of.
On the other hand, when he determines that you are a bad person, then everything you do must be selfish and out of malice, and it must ultimately be wrong.
In the eyes of the people in the capital, Li Song can't be said to be a good or bad person, because everyone didn't know him well at first. But this is not important. What is important is that his actions are considered wrong by good people and should be severely punished. Obviously, then
He, Li Song, was wrong - yes, it was that simple.
There will be almost no illiteracy in China in the future, and some things among the people will still have to be dictated by people with ulterior motives. What is the literacy rate in the future? Therefore, the attitude of ordinary people is so simple. What is the fundamental starting point for Gao Pragmatism to do these things?
, which is not important at all to ordinary people.
In their eyes, right and wrong, good and evil, are clear-cut. Gao pragmatism is a good person, and those who stand on the opposite side of Gao pragmatism can undoubtedly only be bad people, or idiots who cannot bear the heavy responsibility. Regardless of whether Li Song is bad or stupid, he is a good person anyway.
It proves that Gao Jinglue's handling is obviously correct.
Once such a civil consensus is reached, it will naturally slowly affect the entire public opinion. So another day later, the "Beijing Times" and "Practice News" once again broke the big news: a group of officials from North Korea and China impeached Gao Pragmatic, and compared it to
Cai Jing, the treacherous Prime Minister of the former Song Dynasty, even committed some of the Ten Evils, and was severely punished by the wise and mighty Emperor.
Originally, this incident and yesterday's incident happened at the same time, but the two newspapers deliberately created a slight precedence, and the effects after the exposure were completely different.
Since the two newspapers even obtained the original words of His Majesty the Emperor Lunyin who refuted the so-called "Ten Evils" sentence by sentence, this gave the people more confidence to criticize. For a while, the impeachment of highly pragmatic officials turned into a street rat. It was really
Everyone shouted for beating.
The common people did not care about the "Ten Evils". The official was a public official, and he had the power to report the matter. The angry people even deliberately "passed by" the official's mansion and hurried into his yard.
Throw away rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, etc. Fortunately, it is summer, so these things are really not difficult to do.
This Ministry of Industry official had already been demoted by the emperor and sent away. Now faced with this scene, his heart was even colder. He packed his bags overnight. Early the next morning, he quietly slipped out of the city with a few servants.
, the family members in the house can only wait for the storm to subside before setting off, which can be described as desolate.
This is generally the case among the people, but the impact on the court is much smaller after all, so the situation is also different.
After all, the emperor's holy judgment the day before yesterday took into account that the Cao Army uprising in Jiangnan still required the efforts of Jiangnan officials - even if they did not contribute, at least they could not hold back. Therefore, in the holy judgment, in addition to clarifying that everything Gao Pragmatic did was reasonable and legal, it also
Give the Heart School a sweet date and ask them to nominate the successor to Governor Ji Liao.
However, a problem arises. The Xin School currently has no suitable candidates for senior officials involved in border affairs. This lack of access is somewhat similar to the situation of the Real School in the early years, but it is not exactly the same.
The lack of success in the past few years of the Real School was mainly due to the gap in seniority between the old and new generations within the school, while the Heart School was mainly due to the lack of reserve officials in frontier officials, and this was formed to some extent by the suppression of the Real School.
of.
From the very beginning when the towns of Jiubian were announced as being under Gao Gong's sect, the towns of Jiubian have been being included one by one by the pragmatic school in an orderly manner. With the evolution of Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei's era, and the rapid rise of Gao pragmatism through war,
First Shuntian, and then the three sides, all gathered under the leadership of the Real School.
The only one that is not progressing so smoothly is Liaodong - in fact, Ji Liao's "Ji" has already joined the trenches of the Practical School. The problem in Liaodong mainly lies with the Li Jiajun, and the Li Jiajun failed to master it smoothly.
, which is related to the fact that Zhu Yijun believed that Li Chengliang had some potential to lose, and he demanded high pragmatism to defeat Li Chengliang.
Gao Jingshi had no choice but to comply, so without any hesitation, he pushed Li Chengliang, who was originally on both ends of the spectrum, directly into the Heart School. Until now, Li Jiajun has not become a force in the Shi School. It has to be said that Gao Jingshi is still concerned about this situation.
A bit dissatisfied.
The reason why Li Song was dismissed, in addition to the obvious reasons, that is, the reasons that Gao Jingshi directly cited to prove that he "doesn't need to die", there is also a very important point that Gao Jingshi knew that once he fell, the Xin School would soon
I can't find a suitable candidate to replace him.
As for why Li Song suddenly jumped out and did those stupid things, although Gao Pragmatic was not entirely sure, his guess was basically correct - he was actually "abandoned to protect the commander-in-chief" by Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since it was voluntarily given up, and there was no one to support it, the Practical School certainly refused to let it go easily. This led to quarrels in the court.
It was unavoidable: the emperor delegated power to recommend Shen Shixing, and Shen Shixing had to forcefully recommend a few even if no one was involved. What if they were successful? People always have to have some ideals!
But the officials of the Practical School did not buy it, and they came up with a bunch of reasonable reasons to object every minute. In the end, the emperor felt that it was not suitable, and ordered Shen Shixing to push it forward. But no matter how much he pushed, there was still no suitable candidate. This matter
Should the stalemate continue?
At this time, the Shi School spoke up, saying that the candidate for governor of Jiliao was actually very easy to handle. Since you, Shen Yuanfu, can't recommend it, for the sake of everyone being ministers in the same palace, we will reluctantly help you recommend one or two.
So the Practical School decisively proposed two candidates: Gu Yangqian and Jian Da.
Gu Yangqian is the current governor of Liao, and he is very qualified. He is a disciple of Gao Gong. Before he became governor of Liao, he had done military preparation for many years. He can be sure that he is a civil servant who can manage the army, and he meets all the conditions.
However, Gu Yangqian's problem also lies in Gao Gong's discipleship. It's not that this identity is not good, but that this identity should be suppressed as much as possible for the Xin School. It belongs to the kind of people who can choose him or not.
.
The situation of Jian Da is quite different. He was named Rushang, also named Ruxun, and had the name Li'an. He was a native of Ba County, Sichuan, and the sixth grandson of Jian Yi, a famous minister in the early Ming Dynasty.
His sixth generation ancestor, Jian Yi, was not a simple person. His official name was Yi Zhi, and his initial name was Rong. It was the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who gave his name to him with the character "Yi". He was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very fond of him.
Unfortunately, like many capable people, he was not reused in the later Jianwen Dynasty and was severely marginalized.
In the Yongle Dynasty, Jian Yi's fortune changed. Because he had the merit of taking the initiative to surrender, and he was originally a person valued by Taizu, so Chengzu also valued him. There are too many deeds, it is difficult to detail them one by one. I will only mention one thing here.
: In the second year of Yongle, Zhu Gaochi was canonized as the crown prince, and Jian Yi was appointed to concurrently serve as the crown prince Zhan Shi.
You must know that the prince's masters at that time were all honorary ministers, and the tutoring responsibility was held by the civil servant Zhan Shi. Therefore, Jian Yi's status in front of Zhu Gaochi at that time was similar to Gao Gong's status in front of Long Qing.
Later, Jian Yiguan became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Shaobao, Shaofu, and Shaoshi. After his death, he was awarded the special title of Guanglu Dafu, Taishi, and his posthumous title was "Zhongding" - note that after his death, his posthumous title did not reach the peak.
, but it is not easy to get a grand master.
Because of this relationship, although Jianda is already his sixth grandson, his status in the famous family is still there. Since he is a family of high-ranking officials, although Jianda was born in Chongqing (Ba County belongs to Chongqing), he is not a member of the Chen Party. It may be because
The friendship between fellow villagers and the relationship with Chen Dang are not bad.
Since he is not a member of Chen Dang, it is difficult to say that he is a member of the Practical School. Even if he has a good relationship with Chen Dang, who has embraced the Practical School, in politics, you have to be a little confused when you should be confused.
However, Jianda is not without weaknesses. His primary weakness is his examination results that year. Although this man is also a person on the gold list, he is not a first-class or second-class scholar, but a third-class scholar. He will be an official in the future and will look at his results.
, this has been said many times, so this is one of Jianda's weaknesses.
Fortunately, he also has qualifications that can be redeemed. In fact, he was not very smart when he was young, and he started to stand out after he was ten years old. In the 40th year of Jiajing, he passed the imperial examination. In the 41st year of Jiajing, he passed the third-level Jinshi examination and was awarded the title of magistrate of Yingshang County.
He successively served as the prefect of Xiangfu in Henan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, a member of the Ministry of Rites, a minister of Shandong Anqing, the prefect of Pingyang, a minister of Shandong Tixue, and an envoy of Huguang.
To put it simply, he is senior, one subject older than the current mainstay of the Shi School, the "Yichou Gold Ranking in the 44th Year of Jiajing". In the leap September of the 13th year of Wanli, he was appointed as the censor of Youdu, Shuntian. In the 16th year of Wanli
In July of that year, he was promoted to the minister of Dali Temple. In October of the following year, he was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Hubu. Two months before Gao Jingshi was transferred to the Ministry of Hubu, he was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of War.
In terms of this last reassignment, he had been in the Ministry of War with Gao Pragmatic for two months, and was ranked before Gao Pragmatic.
Although rankings don't mean anything, let alone rankings, many ministers, even if they are older than Gao Pragmatic, may only obey orders in front of Gao - of course Gao Pragmatic will not give orders, he will only talk about discussion.
, is recommended, but does not change its nature.
In any case, among the two candidates, the latter, Jian Da, is obviously more suitable in the view of the Heart School. However, there is a huge problem with this appointment, that is, Jian Da is not in Beijing at this time, or even in office - he was
Not even half a year later, the left minister of the Ministry of War returned to his hometown to guard the system because of Ding You.
Ding You's rule is usually said to be three years. In fact, this is not accurate. It is actually twenty-seven months.
Dingyou was initiated by Confucius and became an institution from the Han Dynasty. The reason why the time of filial piety in Confucian culture is twenty-seven months is because it takes mothers twenty-seven months to feed their children with breast milk, which is nearly three years but less than three years.
.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Ding You system was also improved. Except for the funeral of parents, who had to resign from office and go home to observe the system, and then resurrect after the death, Ding You did not have to be relieved of his official position for other funerals. This is why Gao Pragmatic died and his grandmother did not have to resign.
Zhang Siwei had to resign because his parents died.
Calculating the time, Jianda's Ding You still has about a month or two to finish, and his Ding You's place is quite far away, far away in Chongqing Prefecture in the southwest - that place is one of the main places to put down Yang Yinglong, so it's not clear yet
Will it affect his trip back to Beijing?
Therefore, if Jian Da is to be elected as the governor of Jiliao, even if everything goes well, it is estimated that it will take three months for him to officially take office.
Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. If they don't recommend Jian Da, then judging from the situation, Gu Yangqian can only take the top job. Gu Yangqian has a huge word "high" on his head, so he is naturally the one who can and will not use it; recommend Jian Da.
Three months have passed and the Battle of Fayuan may have been over. If a second Li Song is needed to help with the thunder during this process, Jian Da will definitely not be able to count on him.
However, after some discussion, Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue reached a consensus. They believed that although Jianda was not from the Practical School, the possibility of them being able to use him to defeat the enemy was not high. The key to using him was that he might not be comprehensive in the future.
By cooperating with the Practical School, the Heart School still has a chance to win over him.
To put it simply, the greatest significance of using Jianda is to ensure that Jiliao, the last important town in the Nine Borders, will not completely fall into the hands of the Real School. As long as this can be ensured, other problems can be temporarily suppressed.
In this case, the Xin School could only admit this recommendation with a pinched nose. Therefore, Shen Shixing quickly convened a meeting with the cabinet ministers, and finally jointly recommended Jianda, who was about to return to power, as the governor of Jiliao. At the same time, considering Jianda
He had already served as the left minister of the Ministry of War, so this time he was appointed to concurrently serve as the governor of Jiliao with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War.
The emperor received this recommendation and readily approved it. He even sent an order to Ba County, Chongqing in advance to avoid Jianda taking office later. At the same time, the emperor immediately asked Shen Shixing and others about the work of suppressing the Cajun riot.
, the cabinet made reports one by one.
At the same time, the High-Pragmatic Management Headquarters stationed in Lightning Lake was finally about to face a real battle.
