Gao Jingshi takes the post of Mongolian Yuan Dynasty as the commander-in-chief of this war against the Yuan Dynasty. After the victory against the Yuan Dynasty, he will definitely be rewarded, and it must be the first achievement, and he will get the highest reward. There is no doubt about this.
of.
The Xin School tried to recall him before but failed to achieve its goal. Instead, they risked losing their money and brought in Li Song, the governor of Jiliao. They had to find a way to make up for this loss? Of course, given the current situation, it is impossible to make up for it.
If it is not easy to operate, then in turn the real school will also suffer some losses. Wouldn’t the two sides be even?
The Practical School has made such great achievements, so it would be difficult to force them to lose money. However, the work of rising up and down secretly is a basic operation for politicians, and it is impossible for the Heart School to not think of it. You know, the Heart School has thought of this trick before.
! It can be said that the conditions were not mature at that time, but now aren’t the conditions mature?
Civil servants are given titles as rewards for their unparalleled service!
It sounds high-sounding, but this is not necessarily a good thing for the person involved. The reason why Wang Shouren was unable to enter the cabinet in his lifetime was because of the issue of civil servants being ennobled.
Why couldn't Wang Shouren join the cabinet? It's all "blame" to say that he put down the rebellion of Prince Ning. Good fortune and misfortune depended on it. Putting down the rebellion of the feudal kings was a great achievement to others, but to Wang Shouren it was useless.
. Wang Shouren is a good civil servant. The best future is to join the cabinet and become the chief minister of the country. Even if he is not good, he will be the cabinet minister, rather than being an uncle or a prince. Because after being ennobled, Wang Shouren belongs to the noble family, as a rule
He cannot participate in government affairs, and the most he can do is lead troops to fight.
In fact, Wang Shouren's actions after pacifying Prince Ning's rebellion also proved that he did not want the title: he handed Zhu Chenhao to the eunuch Zhang Yong without hesitation, and he fled quickly, essentially because he was afraid of being knighted by Zhu Houzhao.
.
Of course, regarding Wang Shouren's retirement, some people said that he was tired of the fighting in the court. Is that true? Not necessarily. In fact, Wang Shouren never gave up the court, and his next actions also proved this. When Jiajing came to the throne, Wang Shouren
He went to Beijing under the imperial edict and was deeply appreciated by Jiajing.
However, Wang Shouren was relied upon by Jiajing, which made Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, deeply afraid. There are two reasons. The first is that Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong are at odds, and Wang Qiong is on good terms with Wang Shouren's father, Wang Hua; the second is that Yang Tinghe and Jiajing
The imperial rift was serious, and Jiajing had long been dissatisfied with Yang Tinghe, so Jiajing summoned Wang Shouren to Beijing. In the eyes of many people, this was to prepare for deposing Yang Tinghe.
Yang Tinghe had been the chief minister of the cabinet since Zhu Houzhao, and his methods were naturally superb, so he nailed Wang Shouren to death with the next move. He did not give Wang Shouren any obstacles, but just mentioned the counter-rebellion that year and gave Wang Shouren a title.
Lord.
Seeing Yang Tinghe's vicious move, Wang Qiong understood that as long as Wang Shouren was awarded a title, his career would be basically over, so he entangled with Yang Tinghe, trying to block the request for merit. Wang Shouren himself also knew that something was wrong and wanted to go home and hide.
Hide.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain. Yang Tinghe did everything as quickly as possible and immediately gave Wang Shouren the title of Earl of Xinjian. The original title was not bad, as it could always be passed on to future generations, right?
Who would have known that this title was just an empty shell, not only did it not have alchemy and iron coupons, but it did not even provide annual salary. What's more cruel was that after Wang Shouren's death, even this title was taken back. It was not until the recognized good man Emperor Long Qing
After ascending the throne and taking charge of the government, the title was returned to Wang Shouren's son.
Putting down the feudal king's rebellion is certainly a great achievement, but think about how bad the nature of Prince Ning's rebellion is. After all, it is just a civil strife that "has been established for more than a month." Is this merit greater than the overthrow of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty? This is the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has been in existence ever since
The consistent number one enemy!
And that's not all. If you think about it more deeply, you will find that Gao Pragmatic not only dealt with Chahar, he was active in the Anda tribute twenty years ago.
He took credit for that incident.
If we look back at the previous rebellion in the northwest, the situation in Ningxia was corrupted, and Ordos ignored Tumut's orders and directly sent troops to support Kuaibai. The whole northwest was in a state of change. What was the result? The result was still that he was pragmatic and quick to cover his ears.
The situation was settled in one fell swoop.
Of the three largest forces on the left and right wings of Mongolia, none of them could have been pacified without his high and pragmatic contributions. Isn't it an exaggeration to call him "the first to pacify the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty"?
So, Wang Shouren was granted the title of Xin Xinbo even though he quelled the Ning Prince's rebellion, which was like a child's play. He was pragmatic and accomplished such great achievements. Wouldn't it be considered a slight to be granted the title of a marquis?
What's more, after the Northwest Rebellion, Gao Pragmatic escaped a knighthood once because of "promotion and knighthood". Can he escape again now? I'm afraid some people won't agree.
Qi Jiguang, as a rare official among military generals, soon discovered that Gao Jingtai was a little distracted. After thinking for a while, he realized that Gao Wuzhen's current situation might actually be more dangerous than him. He couldn't help but change his face: "Jingtai's remarks
Triumph, I’m afraid someone is going to take advantage of it.”
Gao pragmatically lowered his eyelids, then quickly looked up at Qi Jiguang, and asked: "Qi Shuai is well versed in books. I wonder if he has ever read "The Biography of Lu Xun"?" What he calls "The Biography of Lu Xun" here is actually "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms·Wu Shu·
"The Biography of Lu Xun".
Qi Jiguang didn't know what he wanted to say, so he could only reply: "Although the general is not talented, how can he not read "Three Kingdoms"? He has certainly read "The Biography of Lu Xun"."
Gao pragmatic nodded, then smiled and said: "Quan Naizhao Xun paid homage to Dai Meng, the commander of the right wing of the general.
The enemy has defeated the country, and the alliance has benefited from it. After hearing the Qing Dynasty, I thought it would be swept away, and Wang Gang was awarded the prize. I was not sensitive when I was close, and I came to the West after being appointed to admire the light and dust, and think about the good rules.
.'
He also said: "When Yu Jin and others saw the gains, they sighed with joy, thinking that the general's merits were enough to last for a long time. Although in the past Jin Wencheng Pu's army and Huaiyin defeated Zhao's strategy, they despised it... I hope the general can use his plan widely,
Yi Quan is unique. The servants are slow and unsatisfied, and they are unbearable. They rejoice in the majestic virtues of their neighbors and enjoy themselves to the fullest. Although they have not cooperated with each other, they can still cherish it. If you pay attention to it clearly, you can observe it.' - Lu Xun this time
I'm afraid someone might want to use this method on me."
These words were quoted from the letter Lu Xun wrote to Guan Yu after he replaced Lu Meng as the governor. This letter is relatively long, so there is no need to explain it word for word. In short, it is actually to praise Guan Yu. As for why he was praising him, you will know how Guan Yu died.
Okay. Later generations have a word that is suitable to describe this plan: flattery and killing.
When Qi Jiguang saw Gao Pingshi saying this with a sarcastic look on his face, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Jingtai's achievements are ten times better than Guan Yu's and his self-discipline is a hundred times greater. It seems that the general is worrying too much."
But Gao Pragmatic shook his head slightly and said: "Although I understand in my heart, this matter is different from Guan and Lu. I am afraid that what I am about to face is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy. Since ancient times, conspiracy is easy to break but conspiracy is difficult.
Explanation, I’m afraid this matter is really tricky.”
Qi Jiguang couldn't help but worry when he saw Gao Pingshi's solemn words. He frowned deeply and thought hard: "Although the credit is great, it seems reasonable to reward the credit by joining the cabinet, right? After all, the Jingtai was not established until the next year.
, if you can enter the cabinet with this merit, it will be an unprecedented blessing in this dynasty."
His term "unprecedented" is not very accurate. After all, the early cabinets were simply "emperor's secretaries", and the requirements for joining the cabinet were not high. Later, when the cabinet was almost equal to the political affairs hall of the Tang Dynasty, joining the cabinet was regarded as worshiping the prime minister.
, from that time on, it was difficult for cabinet ministers to have "young talents" appear among them. Of course, Qi Jiguang's intentions were pragmatic and clear, and he would not correct such so-called mistakes that did not need to be pointed out.
Gao Pragmatic just said matter-of-factly: "If this can be done, it is naturally the best, but how can 'Lu Xun' and others just sit back and watch? If what I expected is correct, when the news of Tumen's escape to the west comes back to the capital, he would have wanted to scold me to death in the past.
Some people will immediately change their tune and show off their brilliant writing to the point where they blow me away.
By then, the trend has started, and it can even control public opinion, so that even if the emperor does not want to be sealed, he will not be able to find a reason to refuse the seal. By then, Qi Shuai and I will probably have to go boating and fishing in Shicha Lake every day to take care of ourselves."
Qi Jiguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It's okay to say that at this age, he would spend his old age, but Gao Jinglue had not yet stood up, and his only son had just barely been able to walk, so he just wanted to live in his old age? But Gao Jinglue's words were not unfounded.
The truth is, it can even be said to be a situation that is bound to happen. What should we do?
Qi Jiguang frowned and felt that it was extremely difficult, but unexpectedly Gao Pragmatic seemed to be very tolerant and even felt like talking about him.
Gao pragmatically said: "Qi Shuai, actually there is a solution to your problem. I have considered it a few years ago, and now I want to seek your opinion."
Qi Jiguang couldn't help but be startled and said in surprise: "The generals are discussing their merits in the army. This time I am afraid that they will regret it. How can there be a solution?"
Gao Jingshi shook his head slightly and said: "If you want to let Qi Shuai continue to lead the army, I have no idea about it. However, I have another idea, which may prevent Qi Shuai from becoming a hero and have no place to play, and even be a good influence on the country and the dynasty.
, may be more meaningful than generals."
Originally, after Qi Jiguang heard Gao Jingshi talk about the hidden dangers he was about to face in becoming a knight, he was more worried about this matter than he could only "retire". However, Gao Jingshi said that there was a way for him to have a job that "may be better than that of a general."
"more meaningful" method, but I couldn't help but become curious.
Qi Jiguang was doubtful and asked: "How can we plan to make plans through Taiwan?"
Gao pragmatically said: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, please build the 'Da Ming Military Academy' and recommend Qi Shuai as the first president."
"The Ming Dynasty Military Academy?" Qi Jiguang was a little dazed for a moment and said hesitantly: "This academy... teaches marching and combat? Also, what is the position of the dean? Is he the mountain chief?"
In fact, the "dean" of the ancient academy was always called Shanchang. Although Gao Pingshi knew this, he obviously preferred to be independent. Perhaps he felt that the Ming Military Academy would not be built on a mountain, so he had to change the convention.
Bar.
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "The dean is the mountain chief, but Qi Shuai also knows that I like to give myself new names, and the dean sounds more direct. As for what this military academy teaches, in fact, according to my meaning, I want to give it to
Qi Shuai decided it himself."
This was so sudden that Qi Jiguang was confused for a moment. He was still thinking, "There are countless classics to learn from Congwen, but what should we teach from Congwu?" when he heard Gao Pragmatic speak again.
"Qi Shuai, since ancient times, those who have studied literature have been taught by academies. As a result, hundreds of rivers have flowed into the sea for civil servants, and they have never been exhausted. Countless famous ministers in the past dynasties have served as farm ministers and ascended to the emperor's hall in the evening. They have also achieved great achievements. This is not the case for military ministers. There are often only two
According to his origin, he may have come from a family of generals, or he may have been at the end of his military career.
The former is mostly filled with useless weapons, while the latter is difficult to pick one out of ten thousand. I think there are real deficiencies in selecting generals based on the two. In the future, we will be the first to open a military academy in Ming Dynasty, so that those who are willing to join the army can learn the tactics of war and be familiar with it.
If you are good at running an army and are good at deploying weapons and equipment, why worry about the lack of famous generals and good generals in the court?"
"In addition..." Gao Pingshi paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant, but finally said resolutely: "Civil and military affairs are not a blessing to the world. In the future, if we have a military academy, we will surely be able to earn some dignity for military ministers."
Qi Jiguang listened well at first, but after listening to the last part, he couldn't help being shocked. Qi Jiguang looked at Gao Pingshi, but saw his resolute face, and couldn't help but respect him. He stood up and bowed solemnly, saying: "No matter what happens, it will happen."
Well, if you can have this thought on the sutra platform, it is enough to show that your chest is as big as the sky and the sea, and that you have no talents despite your glory. On behalf of the warriors in the world, I would like to express my gratitude to the sutra platform for its good intentions."
Gao Jingshi stood up and wanted to help him, but Qi Jiguang, although he was over sixty years old, was extremely strong and managed to complete the ceremony steadily. Gao Jingshi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "This is a long-term plan for the world, but I'm afraid it will also suffer."
If you want to implement it successfully despite people's objections, there is no guarantee that you will not be hindered by others, and there may even be no recurrence in the future... Qi Shuai thanked me so much, but I am increasingly afraid that I will be unworthy of it."
Qi Jiguang shook his head resolutely and said: "Once this book is presented to the Jingtai, and the military men in the world know about it, everyone will feel that the kindness of the Jingtai is like recreating it. Who would think that the Jingtai is worthy of it?"
He said, not waiting to be pragmatic before talking about the rest, and immediately added: "But if the Jingtai move is to be implemented smoothly, I have an idea. It's just..."
These words made Gao Pingshi a little surprised, and he immediately said: "Qi Shuai has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Qi Jiguang still hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, saying: "In fact, the best candidate for the first post of Shan... dean is not the junior general, but the Jingtai."
"Me?" Gao Pangshi was startled when he heard this, and then shook his head: "I am a civil servant, how can I be the dean of this military academy? Besides, what the dean wants to teach is all methods related to marching and combat. This is not the case.
What I am good at. Among the military ministers of today's dynasty, in terms of reputation, talent, and achievements, no matter where you consider it, Commander Qi is the obvious choice, so there is no need to decline."
Unexpectedly, Qi Jiguang disagreed this time, and said seriously: "It is precisely because Jingtai is a civil servant that the first president must be Jingtai. Jingtai, in the style of the country, must be led by civil servants, and the last general
I thought this military academy might never be built."
