Chapter 282: Inside and outside the palace (Xu 6) Meeting the wise man and thinking about Wang Jiaping
This visit lasted a long time. When Gao Qingshi came out of Xinuang Pavilion, the sky was already getting dark, and the last ray of light was about to disappear.
Several small yellow gatekeepers from the Supervisor of Ceremonies led Gao Jingshi out of the Qianqing Palace and politely asked him if he was going to the cabinet now or planning to leave the palace. Gao Jingshi looked at the sky and said: "Leave the palace." Several small yellow gatekeepers Without asking any more questions, he led Gao Pragmatic towards Donghua Gate.
In fact, Donghua Gate is at the southeast corner of the palace, and Gao Jingshi's Nanning Marquis Mansion is located directly north of the imperial city. If Gao Jingshi could leave the palace through Xuanwu Gate, he would save almost half an hour. Unfortunately, it is impossible to go this way because he has to walk through it. Harem.
Therefore, Gao Jingshi's route back to the palace was to exit the palace from Donghua Gate, then walk north in the imperial city, passing by Guanglu Temple, the Inner Transport Warehouse, the Elephant Room, the Royal Horse Supervisor, the Si Li Supervisor, etc., and finally from Di'anmen exits the imperial city. This is the area of Zhaohui Jinggongfang, and the Nanning Hou Mansion is at the western end of this place, close to Shichahai.
[Note: The capital of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be divided into "three rings". The first ring can be understood as the palace city, the second ring is the imperial city, and the third ring is the capital wall. Within the palace city is the imperial palace; within the imperial city are a bunch of yamen and the three seas , the yamen in Meishan are mainly inner court yamen; outside the imperial city are the remaining outer court yamen, commercial areas and residential areas, temples and Taoist temples, etc.]
When Gao pragmatically walked out of Donghuamen, Donghuamen was already ready to close. It was almost time to get off work. When he left Donghuamen and walked only a distance of more than 30 feet, Gao pragmatically spotted Guanglu in the distance. At the corner of the temple, several officials in red robes were chatting.
According to the system, the Dahongpao should be of the fourth rank or above. However, there are more fourth-grade foreign officials than the capital officials. Usually when you see the Dahongpao in the capital, there is a high probability that it is a court official of the third rank or above.
Gao pragmatic stepped forward, and those people also saw him coming and took the initiative to greet him. Gao pragmatic took a closer look and realized that he was far away just now. It was dark and he didn't look carefully. Although the people who came were all wearing scarlet robes, But the standards are different, and there are not even any formal official uniforms.
There were five people in total, two of them were wearing flying fish suits, one was wearing a bullfighting suit, and two were wearing python robes.
Wearing the python robe are the two figures inside and outside - Wang Jiaping, the first assistant, and Chen Ju, the chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Shen Yiguan, the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, wears the bullfight suit. Bingbi, the chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Bingbi, Dongchang, wears the flying fish suit. Admiral Wang An and eunuch Bingbi Liu Ping, who ranked third among the ceremonial supervisors.
"Rixin has come just in time. If you don't come, I will go back and write bullets if you don't agree with Mr. Jiaomen." Wang Jiaping's words sounded a bit scary, but he said it with a smile, which was obviously a joke.
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Although there was an accident today, there is no emergency at the moment. Why let a fool stay in the palace overnight? Of course he will come out." After a pause, he asked again: "Yuanfu, Jiao Why are my father-in-law and the three father-in-laws all here?"
Several people looked at each other, and it was Wang Jiaping who spoke again, saying: "Rixin is asking knowingly... Naturally, I am waiting to ask you what the emperor's plans are for Yikun Palace."
Sure enough, that's why.
Gao pragmatic shook his head slightly and said: "The emperor believes that this matter has nothing to do with Yikun Palace."
Wang Jiaping immediately became serious, frowned and said: "Rixin, this is a serious matter, haven't you argued with reason?"
Gao Pingshi sighed softly, waved his hands and said: "If we are not close, fighting is useless." He said, deliberately lowering his head secretly, but quietly paying attention to Shen Yiguan with the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, when Shen Guanyi heard him say, "It's useless to fight," he was obviously relieved, but it was quickly covered up by his serious look.
Wang Jiaping didn't notice such details, but his face was ashen and he snorted coldly: "My dear fellow, my distant and wise minister, this is why the Han Dynasty has fallen into decline since then."
Everyone is familiar with this sentence. It is Zhuge Liang's famous sentence in "Chu Shi Biao". But because of this, everyone has a slight change of expression - when you say this, do you think that I am Liu Chan or Emperor Huan Ling?
However, civil servants have the "privileges" of civil servants, and criticizing the emperor is one of them. Especially civil servants at the level of emperor's master, if they criticize, they will usually criticize, and generally there will be no big trouble.
But there were three eunuchs present at this time, so what he said was a bit inappropriate, so Shen Yiguan immediately took the conversation away and said: "Yikun Palace is the key to this matter. If the emperor refuses to investigate Yikun Palace, today
I’m afraid we will never be able to find out the truth about this incident... But what should we do?"
Gao Pragmatic was silent, but Wang Jiaping was still angry and said: "This matter is not limited to the emperor's family affairs, it is related to the safety of the world, how can we not investigate?"
No one answered, so Wang Jiaping simply named Wang An directly and said: "Wang Factory Supervisor, I have always heard that you pride yourself on being a direct minister. I wonder if you think this matter should be investigated thoroughly?"
In an instant, ten eyes were all staring at Wang An, making him very uneasy. But after all, Wang An was Wang An. The muscles on his face twitched twice, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course we think it should be investigated."
Everyone's expressions were different, but unexpectedly Wang An added: "But in the final analysis, all matters in the inner court must be decided by Chen Zhangyin, and An Wei Zhangyin's orders are to be followed."
Good guys, we want to die together, right?
Chen Ju's face was livid, and he thought to himself: What is the destiny of the palm seal? That's good, but why didn't I see you so obedient in Xinuang Pavilion before?
It's a pity that he couldn't say this. Facing the eyes that turned to his face again, Chen Ju could only say: "It is the duty of a minister to offer loyal advice. Naturally, our family must express our interests to the emperor."
This is called "We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing with me?" Wang An is the only one who knows how to do Tai Chi. I, Chen Ju, have been the eunuch with palm prints for so many years. I can't do this skill anymore?
"Speaking out one's interests and harms" seems to be a righteous and awe-inspiring thing to say, but the problem is that you, Chen Ju and Chen Da Zhangyin, are stating your interests and harms to the emperor. Is this really meaningful?
Nonsense, of course not - Gao Pragmatic, the most favored minister in the world, said that he was "not close to each other, and fighting is useless". No matter how others tried to "state their interests" with the emperor, it would all be in vain.
.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What's more, you, Chen Ju, are an old man that the emperor is accustomed to using. As long as you don't violate taboos with your words when "explaining your interests and interests", the emperor may just ignore it.
But if it were someone else to argue the pros and cons, there's no telling what the consequences would be.
In short, even if what Chen Ju said is true and he really "states the interests and harms" later, it is just a process and cannot be expected to have any effect.
Shen Yiguan sighed and said: "No matter what, if Chen Zhangyin can do this, it can be regarded as fulfilling his duties as a minister. We, who are willing to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor, at this time of great justice, cannot be willing to be the heirs of others.
Tomorrow we will definitely go to court and argue our case."
Gao Pragmatic did not speak, but nodded repeatedly in agreement. Wang Jiaping obviously thought that such strength was not enough. He paced left and right with his hands behind his back, then quickly stood still, with firm eyes and said: "Now both the inner and outer courts hold this view.
, Since Fool is at the head of the pavilion, he will definitely not be able to sit back and watch."
He took a deep breath and resolutely said: "Since Wanli, all the chief ministers have been great talents in the world. Xinzheng Gaogong, the first to cleanse the dirty atmosphere and create a trend, namely Bing, Wei, Fang, Du, etc.
Rang Ye; [Note: Bing, Wei, Fang, Du, namely Bing Ji, Wei Xiang, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui.]
Anyang Guo Gong was upright and prudent, and the world felt at ease. His Xiaogui and Cao Sui were not without deep plans. He consolidated Gao Gong's career and carried it forward. He was no different from the Yihou of the time; [Note: Yihou, Cao Shen.]
Zhang Gong of Puzhou lived in simple simplicity and was extremely filial. Whenever major events came up, he solved big doubts and dealt with them with force. He opened up the source of wealth and benefited the country. He is actually Yiwu at this time; [Note: Yiwu, Guan Yiwu
, Guan Zhong.]
Duke Shen of Changzhou should be cautious about haste but be forbearing, be lenient in his administration, rarely thunder but show mercy. If Gao Gong of Xinzheng is like a spring thunder, a sound that shakes the world, then Duke Shen should be like a spring rain, silently moistening all things.
Such as King Zhao Han. [Note: King Zhao Han, Zhao Pu, the prime minister in the early Song Dynasty.]
Although these four princes have different personalities and different politics, they all contributed a lot to the country and the people. Later, due to changes, Fool succeeded him. Fool knew that he had little virtue and little talent. Since he took office, he only tried his best and did not dare to expect to make history.
.
However, what happened today can be said to be a disaster. If the root of the disease cannot be eliminated early, it will cause serious troubles in the future, and even... there may be unspeakable changes. He is not as stupid as the four gentlemen, but he dares to attach the word "loyalty" to his tail.
Tomorrow's memorial will be a success. If it succeeds, it will be repaired. If it fails, it will resign and return home. There will be no other consequences. If you say farewell foolishly, I still hope that you will work hard and do not let Baosi and Daji's disaster happen again."
When Wang Jiaping said these words, even Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but feel moved.
You know, Wang Jiaping had a tacit understanding with the emperor for a long time. As long as he waited until the emperor's legitimate son was canonized as the prince, he could retire with success.
Although he did not serve as chief minister for a long time, the Ming Dynasty defeated Japan and conquered Korea during his tenure. Even if he only relied on this achievement, he would be honored by the Prime Minister in his life and enjoy a good reputation in history.
However, because of what happened today, Wang Jiaping actually wanted to resign. It was not just a show, but he really planned to be successful if he didn't succeed. Such courage and magnanimity can make even a pragmatic Gao who is used to seeing the evil in people's hearts.
Lao Jianghu couldn't help but feel a sincere respect for him.
However, just when Gao Pingshi was still shocked and didn't think about how to persuade him, Shen Yiguan on the side quickly reached out and made a blocking movement, and advised Wang Jiaping: "Yuan Fu must not be like this, must not be like this.
"
Wang Jiaping waved his hand and said: "There is no need to persuade Mr. Jiaomen. A gentleman has things to do and things not to do. With today's situation, there is a reason why a fool must do it."
"Yuan Fu's words are wrong!" Shen Yiguan said hurriedly: "The so-called disaster of women in the palace has always been the most difficult to end. Even if the court is full of power and the ministers join hands, success cannot be achieved overnight.
Today, because of the four ministers assisting the left, the Holy One has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats. He has reported this to the Imperial Ancestral Temple several times to show his great achievements. He can be called the master of ZTE. Although he is confused by the charm, it is not impossible to save him. At that time, it is exactly what our generation of assistant ministers should do.
At the time when we are doing this, Yuan Fu is our leader, how can we just ignore the temporary success or failure? I hope Yuan Fu can plan for the long term and think twice before acting, then the world will be very lucky."

ps: I wrote this chapter today from about 6:30 after dinner to now. It took me basically six hours to write 3k. I was exhausted from writing. Looking back, it was a coincidence that it happened to be a node that could be divided into chapters.
Just leave it like this for now.
I feel like I may have a slight cold, and my brain seems to be a little swollen. I don’t know if it’s a real cold or because I have to review the plot and consider the words when summarizing the first four assistants.
