Chapter 281 Verbal Confrontation with the Japanese Returned to Japan (Yuan Qi)
Sometimes the title can explain the problem. For example, calling Gao Pragmatic "Brother Rixin" generally means that the two people are not only equals but also have a good relationship... at least on the surface they have a good relationship.
However, there is one thing that needs to be explained here, that is, according to ancient tradition, unless they are blood relatives, calling someone "brother" does not necessarily mean that the other person is older than you.
In fact, there is no need to be "ancient". Let's take a relatively recent example: Captain Chang Kaishen often calls the other party "brother" in his letters to Marshal Zhang from the Northeast, but instead calls himself "brother" - as we all know, Chang Kaishen is better than Marshal Zhang.
But he is 14 years older. Therefore, the ancients' practice of calling each other "brother" and calling themselves "brother" was mainly out of self-effacement.
Of course, "Rixin" is the nickname. If the relationship is more intimate, or in a more private occasion, you can call him "Brother Qiuzhen" and replace the nickname with a Chinese character.
However, "Pragmatic Brother" is not acceptable, because it is rude to call him by his first name, and since you have already called him by his first name, it would be too nondescript to add the honorific title of "Brother".
There is a unique exception here, that is, when the emperor calls Gao pragmatism, in theory, he can directly call him "Gao pragmatism" on any occasion. There is no disrespect problem, because he is the emperor and the supreme emperor in the world.
Of course, the emperor didn't call Gao Jingshi that way before he got his cousin name, and he has always called him "Qiuzhen" since then. When Gao Jingshi built the Rixin Building and gave himself a title, the emperor changed his name to "Rixin".
This is no problem, just as the emperor would often call his ministers "sir" who had served as ministers and then ministers of the cabinet.
"New" expresses the close relationship between the two.
Let's get back to the topic, if instead of calling "Brother Rixin", you call him "Mr. Rixin", then there are two situations.
The first type is that Gao Pragmatic's status is much higher than that of the other party. In order to show respect, the other party must give the highest honorific title, that is, the "Hao Gong" model, or the "surname Gong" model - that is "Gao Gong".
There is no clear age limit for "male" here, because when the ancients respectfully called someone "a certain male", the "male" could have several possibilities.
For example, the other party is your male elder, for example, the other party is a senior scholar, for example, the other party has a distinguished literary name (military name is also acceptable), for example, the other party represents the imperial court, or for example, the other party is a high-ranking official of the imperial court... etc., etc., you can address them with respect.
For the public.
Gao Pangshi obviously has a distinguished reputation and is also a high-ranking official in the imperial court, so no matter how old he is, there is no problem in being called "Rixin Gong" or "Gao Gong".
Second, the status of the other party is not necessarily far inferior to that of Gao Xiang, but since there is no friendship between the two, then out of politeness, they should call each other "Mr.
Gao Jingshi and Shen Yiguan did not have much friendship. As mentioned before, the time when they had a chance to cross paths should have been when they were in the Hanlin Academy. However, due to some strange combination of circumstances, the two actually did not fight a few times.
Face to face.
They have only met each other a few times, and the two sides belong to different schools of thought. Naturally, they usually have different views and do not seek each other. So how can we talk about intersection and friendship?
When Wang Xijue stepped down for some reason during the last application for Shixing, the Xin School had no one available for the time being. Zhao Zhigao and Shen Guanyi were added to the cabinet. It stands to reason that in this way, the two of them and Gao Pragmatic would become colleagues in the cabinet, and they should have the opportunity to build relationships, at least
It's enough to save face and call each other "brother".
It is a pity that Gao Pragmatic led his army to go on an expedition not long after, and went to North Korea to fight for more than half a year. He just returned to Beijing today, so naturally this relationship cannot be discussed.
All in all, in short, there is really no friendship between Gao Pragmatic and Shen Yiguan. They are almost just acquaintances. They can only call each other "Rixin Gong", "Jiaomen Gong" or "Gao Mengong".
"Gong", "Gong Shen".
Since the relationship is so estranged, of course they cannot make random jokes, especially joking about the female students in each other's family, which is a taboo for scholars. It is impossible for Shen Yiguan not to know this, and he should not make such a low-level mistake.
.
But the problem is that Shen Yiguan said this now, which surprised Gao Pragmatic. This is because Shen Yiguan was obviously unreasonable in this matter. At this moment, he either said nothing, walked away on the spot, or even turned his back on the spot.
After being scolded, Shen Guanyi's reputation among scholars would be damaged afterwards.
Shen Guanyi was known for his extremely bad reputation in the original history, but his bad reputation was because he was petty and cliquey for personal gain, plus he was a slippery man and refused to take responsibility. He was not said to be stupid.
Although his current reputation is not very good, at least it has not reached the "height" in the original history. He should still cherish it to some extent, especially because he should not make jokes about the curly figure of cabinet ministers, which will bring trouble to himself.
Adding another stain to a bad reputation.
In just a moment, Gao Pragmatic judged that Shen Yiguan's words were not unintentional or reckless, and there must be a reason.
What could be the reason? After all, this is still something that will damage your reputation...
Wait a minute—reputation?
Gao Jingshi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and roughly understood Shen Yiguan's plan: I, Shen Yiguan, have a bad reputation, and it won't be a big deal if I get a little worse, but your Gao Jingshi's reputation is so good, it's like a ray of light.
Thousands of auspicious colors.
So, if I can use my reputation to be a little bit worse and your flawless reputation to be stained with some dirt, wouldn't it be a great deal?
However, Gao pragmatism speaks and deeds, and meritorious deeds are promoted. If we can say that this is the era of ZTE, then each of the several major signs of ZTE seems to be related to Gao pragmatism. Therefore, it is basically a dream to find questions about him in the righteousness.
If justice is not lacking, then we have to think of ways to improve our personal ethics. However, there seems to be no problem with high and pragmatic personal ethics.
He was generous with his wealth. When he was passing by Weihui when he was young, he borrowed 300,000 yuan to provide disaster relief. He was known as the Buddha of Thousands of People in various places in Henan. Nowadays, when people in Henan mention Gao Gong, both his uncle and nephew Gao Pragmatic will subconsciously raise their hands.
Say hello to Xinzheng;
He is a good drinker but not a drunkard. Whether it is a state banquet or a small gathering, he will accept every toast and will never drink a drink by himself.
manners at banquets;
He was magnanimous and had been with the emperor for more than twenty years. Except for those who clearly violated the laws and military orders of the country, he never killed indiscriminately, never framed anyone, and never killed anyone without teaching. Anyone who attacked him in the court was punished.
Your Majesty has repeatedly urged the Emperor to be lenient and punished. Even if he did not persuade him at the time, he would often bring up the old matter again in the next few years and continue to ask the Emperor to give him a chance to change his ways.
He did not value women, and did not take a concubine for several years after his marriage. A few years later, Meng Guzhezhe entered the family, but it was to appease the Jurchens and use Ye He to govern Jianzhou.
One wife and two concubines, if not unique among the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, they were rare.
What else can be said about such justice and private morality? But is it really impossible to find fault with it?
That's not entirely true. At present, it seems that Shen Yiguan has taken Liu Xin's appointment as a target for his high pragmatic personal ethics.
This seems strange. If we say that when Liu Xin entered the Gao family, it could be said that it had an impact on the Gao family's family tradition. After all, Liu Xin became Gao's pragmatic staff (secretary-general) as an unmarried person at that time.
Living in Gaofu for a long time without any hesitation is not in line with the customs of the Ming Dynasty.
But although there were some rumors at that time, they did not cause a big fuss. Now that Gao Pragmatic has accepted Liu Xin as his disciple, how come it is regarded as a loss of personal ethics?
This is actually the difference between rumors and the truth. Originally, Liu Xin was the secretary-general of the Gao Mansion, so no matter how the rumors spread, they were just rumors. But when Gao Pragmatic finally took a concubine, it was the truth that there was something between the two of them.
For example, if two celebrities are rumored to be dating, as long as there are no photos or videos taken, as long as the two firmly deny recognition, the public can only discuss it, but if there are photos and videos, it will be confirmed, no matter how hard they deny it
It's no use either.
Of course, this comparison is not appropriate, because social tolerance in different eras is very different. The reason why Shen Yiguang regards this matter as a target for Gao Pragmatism's personal ethics to be damaged is mainly because it means that Gao Pragmatism has been in these previous situations.
In recent years, he has been suspected of seducing women from good families...well, daughters from good families.
If we go one step further and say that the Liu family has been "indifferent" to this phenomenon for nearly ten years, it will raise another question, that is, whether Gao Pragmatic uses power to suppress others, which makes Liu
They dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out. In the end, they compromised and accepted the established facts with a pinched nose.
In fact, this last suspicion is Shen Yiguang's real purpose. After all, the Ming Dynasty still adheres to the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules. As long as Liu Xin is unmarried, it is not a big problem for Gao Pragmatic to "seduce" her. He can only seduce a married man.
Women are the big problem.
[Boss Cao: Meow meow meow?]
However, using power to suppress people, especially forcing the daughter of an official to become a concubine, is a big problem, and it is a big problem enough to cause an uproar in the government and the public. Many people may stand up to impeach Gao Pragmatic and force him to resign voluntarily.
This is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty. In many cases, the personal moral requirements of courtiers for high-ranking officials are even much higher than the requirements for their administrative abilities. At this time, mere private moral issues may even have the huge "one-vote veto"
power.
As the saying goes, one thought can change a hundred times. Gao Pragmatic thought so much in his mind, but in fact, it only took a few breaths.
"The Liu family entered my Gao family in compliance with Duke Liu Nanchang's last words. I have known Duke Liu Nanchang for a long time and respect his bravery. Since these were his last words, I can't bear to violate them." Gao pragmatically replied, turning his head again.
He glanced at Liu Wei and said, "General Manager Liu knows this best."
Shen Yiguan didn't expect that there was such a thing in it. As expected, he was startled and heard Liu Wei say: "Yes, that's right. In fact, my sister-in-law has known Gao Ge Lao since she was a child. Now that I think about it, it was an old thing in the fourth year of Longqing..."
While reminiscing, he briefly described the past events of the year, and then said: "Because of this story, my sister-in-law had secretly promised to do it for a long time, but unfortunately everything was delayed later, and it was a mistake that was irreversible.
However, because of the events in southern Xinjiang, the room-mate and Mrs. Gao became close friends. Mrs. Gao had many times hoped that the room-mate would join the Gao family, but she was always hesitant... Moreover, the room-mate later entered the Gao family.
In fact, it was Gao's wife Huang who first suggested that Gao be the secretary-general of Jinghua.
As for my father's last words, alas...my father has known the reason for this for a long time. However, the world is so unpredictable, and my father doesn't know where to start. Therefore, it was not until his death that he had to mention it as his last hope. He could only say so with a smile.
Jiuquan.
Although the general is stupid and unworthy, how dare he not retaliate for this? My sister-in-law feels guilty, and always says that it is because she is obsessed with her status that she regrets the death of her loved ones. After hearing this, Lao Gao felt pity for her, and later accepted her.
The act of marrying..."
As the only son of Liu Xian and the only brother of Liu Xin, Liu Qing is one of the direct parties and is undoubtedly the current head of the Liu family. When he said this, all kinds of "presumptions of guilt" about Gao Pragmatic suddenly became a reality.
If you read unofficial history, it will completely lose any meaning.
Shen Guanyi was caught off guard. He really didn't know that Liu Xin and Gao Jingshi had crossed paths when they were young. After all, although he knew the story of Liu Xian and his son and Gao Jingshi, as a person of this era, he didn't
Maybe if you had inquired carefully, you would never have thought that Liu Xin, the young lady of the Liu family, had a role in it.
From Shen Yiguan's point of view, the whole thing is outrageous, very outrageous. And the most outrageous thing is that the highly pragmatic wife Huang Zhiting is actually a close friend of Liu Xin, and Liu Xin was first appointed as the secretary-general of Jinghua.
The suggestion came from Huang Zhiting... It was so outrageous that his mother opened the door to such outrageous people. It was so outrageous.
As for Liu Wei saying that Liu Xin was unwilling to enter the Gao family as a concubine at first, Shen Yiguan felt that this was the only thing in the whole thing that was not so outrageous and even relatively normal.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the Xinzheng Gao family is a practical sect, compared to the Liu family who became a member of the generals starting from Liu Xiancai, the difference between these families is in the Ming Dynasty
The dynasty is indeed a bit big. But no matter what, although the difference between civil and military affairs is huge, in name the Liu family is still a "high-ranking family" and "father and son are in charge of the army". It is indeed a bit disappointing that the direct daughter of the family is married as a concubine.
Difficult.
Therefore, Liu Xin himself was hesitant about this, but Shen Yiguan took it for granted.
In fact, although there are considerable differences in the family status of civil and military families, it does not mean that marriage is completely impossible. For example, as mentioned before, Xiao Ruxun married the daughter of the former Shangshu Yang Shang.
Of course, Xiao Ruxun is also a bit special. Although Xiao Ruxun himself served in the military and made great contributions in defending the isolated city in the Battle of Ningxia, he is actually known for his good writing. He can write well and chant well.
Good poems, often held gatherings among literati. [Note: Qi Jiguang also had this hobby, and even "Zhi Zhitang Collection" was left in the world.]
In short, when Liu Wei said this, everything that seemed wrong at first had a reasonable explanation. Normal people would only feel sorry for it, and no one would think that any of the parties was at fault.
If I had to say it, it was probably God's will to trick people, and Huang Zhiting married in front of her. But Huang Zhiting had nothing to be questioned about, and he even praised her as worthy of being God's wife, with a broad mind.
Without any jealousy, you can become a beautiful person.
However, Shen Yiguan was embarrassed. In the final analysis, what he did today was because he was dissatisfied with Zhao Zhigao's "surrender and compromise" approach before. He always thought that even if he could not change the current situation of weak Xinxue, he would at least improve it.
Living a disgusting and pragmatic life made this proud man who had almost never suffered a loss know that he was not the only one in the world.
Who would have thought that he is highly pragmatic and young at the same time. His alertness is not as high as usual, and he can grasp the key points at once among thousands of clues. As soon as he opens his mouth, he uses a calm tone to fight back fiercely, directly blocking Shen Yiguan's original plan.
Death, and finally Liu Wei came forward to put the coffin on the whole matter.
"It turns out that this is just like Meng Lang. His words were rude. Please forgive Mr. Rixin for Haihan."
Now that things have come to this, Shen Guanyi has no choice but to lower his attitude and give in first before making any plans.
