"Seeking truth, then you tell me." This sentence may seem casual, but in fact, the word "seeking truth" already expresses Zhu Yijun's emotions at this moment.
It stands to reason that the emperor's more formal title for Gao Jingshi should be something like "Gao Aiqing", which can well reflect the distinction between the emperor and his ministers; if you want to be more intimate, then the title "Rixin" will be fine. Just now Wang Jiaping
He also called Gao pragmatism this way when speaking to the emperor.
But Zhu Yijun didn't, and instead called him "Qiuzhen". "Qiuzhen" is a highly pragmatic word. Generally speaking, it should be used when people of the same generation with roughly the same status are used to address each other.
The word originated in the Shang Dynasty, became popular in the Zhou Dynasty, and later formed a system. Until modern times, it is still used by many people in the intellectual and cultural circles, such as Sun Wenzi, Mr. Mao... and Mr. Runzhi. In modern times, it has become very popular
Few people have used it. However, due to the large population in China in later generations and the high incidence of the same name and surname, there is also a view in the cultural circles that it is recommended to restore the syllable system. I will not go into details here.
As mentioned before, in ancient China, due to the special emphasis on etiquette, the use of names and characters has always been very particular. In interpersonal communication, names are generally used as modesty, condescension, or up versus down, longer versus younger.
call.
For example, Gao Gong could call Gao Pragmatic by his first name. In theory, the emperor could call everyone except the late emperor and the queen mother by their first name. Of course, most emperors would not do this most of the time, especially to those with higher status.
Minister.
Peers generally only call each other by name when they are very familiar with each other. In most cases, it is considered impolite to mention each other or to be called by his or her first name.
Of course, there are exceptions to the above situations. For example, when the first name and the last word are used together, it is often to show respect. There are two situations worth noting here:
The first situation is that in the pre-Qin period, when the name and the character are combined, the character must be used first and then the given name. For example: Kongfu Jia, this is the ancestor of Confucius in the Song Dynasty, where "Kongfu" is the character and "Jia" is the name.
And the surname is "Zi" [Note: Confucius actually also had the surname Zi, and Kong is his surname, so I won't explain it here]. Another example: Bai Yi Bing, this is Uncle Jian's son, where "B" is his given name, and "Bing" is his given name.
"Bai Yi" is the Chinese character, and the surname is "Jian".
The second situation is that after the Han Dynasty, when names are called together, "name" is used first and then "zi". For example: "Kong Rong of Lu State, Chen Lin and Kong Zhang of Guangling, Can Zhongxuan of Shanyang, Xu Qianweichang of Beihai, Chen Liu and Ruan Yuyuan
Yu, Runan Yingchang Dejin, Dongping Liu Zhen went to work..."
This is a passage in Cao Pi's "Dian Lun·Wen". When mentioning the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", they always use their given names first and then their characters.
In fact, Zhu Yijun often changes his name for Gao Pragmatic on different occasions. For example, in large public places, he usually calls him "Gao Aiqing", "Nanning Hou", etc.; when there are fewer people, such as when Wenhua calls for couples, he often calls him "Rixin".
; If they are talking to each other and there is no one else around, Zhu Yijun will even call him "pragmatic" directly - it should be noted here that he is not calling his name rudely, but calling him by his first name affectionately, in order to reflect the close relationship between the two.
, no one else would have received this treatment.
Theoretically, when the two of them meet alone, considering their relationship, the most common way to address them is "Qiuzhen" - the closest verbal distance between them.
In the presence of Wang Jiaping, the chief minister of the cabinet, and at the same time when discussing state affairs, Zhu Yijun used the word "Qiuzhen" to address Gao pragmatism. There is an obvious deliberateness in it. It means: You, Wang Jiaping, are just the chief minister.
, "Qiuzhen" is not just Ge Lao, he is also my classmate, Fa Xiao. He is one of my own, you are not.
The emperor had such an attitude. If it was an ordinary moment, Wang Jiaping should consider whether his words and deeds just now were excessive and reflect on it. However, to Zhu Yijun's disappointment, Wang Jiaping looked indifferent and took a step back expressionlessly, but towards
Gao pragmatically extended his hand to invite him to speak.
Zhu Yijun frowned slightly unconsciously, as if he was planning something. At the same time, his eyes were not idle, and he looked at Gao Jingshi. According to his understanding of Gao Jingshi, if Gao Jingshi wanted to protect Wang Jiaping, he should have done so at this time.
Take some measures to attract your own attention, thereby downplaying your dissatisfaction with Wang Jiaping.
However, an accident happened again. Gao Pragmatic didn't seem to understand the subtle change just now. He just nodded sternly at Wang Jiaping, responded to his gesture, then bowed to Zhu Yijun, cleared his throat, and began to introduce his views on the construction of North Korea.
Think about it from the perspective of urgency.
Gao Pragmatic introduced exactly what he had just said to Wang Jiaping, but in more detail and more clearly. While listening to what he said, Zhu Yijun mentally reviewed the performance of Wang Jiaping and Gao Pragmatic just now, and always felt that something was wrong.
However, he really didn't expect that Wang Jiaping had misunderstood his actions today and had plans to retire early.
Since he really couldn't figure it out, Zhu Yijun had no choice but to put aside his plans and listen carefully to Gao's pragmatic plan.
The plan was very thorough and complete, just like Gao Pragmatic's usual standards. Zhu Yijun had nothing to add or change after listening to it from beginning to end. He just felt that everything Gao Pragmatic said was exactly what he wanted. He couldn't help but be extremely satisfied and smiled.
: "What Qiu Zhen said is in line with my wishes, and there is nothing to change. Then... well, if Yuan Fu has no objections, I think that's what I'll do."
Wang Jiaping held his hands indifferently: "Old minister, I have no objection."
Zhu Yijun nodded, waved his hand towards Chen Ju, and said: "The Supervisor of Ceremonies will draft an imperial edict later according to what Mr. Gao Ge said just now. If there is anything he doesn't remember clearly, he will send someone to the cabinet to inquire. Everything will be done according to Mr. Gao Ge's opinion.
Your words are true and there is no need to retaliate.”
Chen Ju accepted the order without saying much.
The business talk was over so quickly. Zhu Yijun was a little distracted for a moment. He didn't know if he should say something to avoid the awkward moment. However, he felt a little angry after thinking about it. Why should I, the emperor, take the initiative to avoid the awkward moment? This is not the two of you.
Should we take the initiative?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This hesitation made it really cold. In the end, Gao Pingshi couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly and said: "By the way, Your Majesty, today Xiao Zongxian and Wang
The factory supervisor and others should have already started investigating the 'Medicinal Diet Case', and it won't take long before they can clear up Concubine Zheng's name and clear away the suspicion."
Of course, clearing away the suspicion is just a show of words. Gao Pragmatic can't say that if this investigation continues, Concubine Zheng will be found out and convicted? Zhu Yijun also knows that this is just a rhetoric. He and Gao Pragmatic know the specific inside story, so they don't
He nodded lightly with anger and displeasure: "Well, very good."
Originally he didn't want to say more, but suddenly he realized that if he just responded like this, it would seem like he would be chatting to death again, so he had to add: "This matter is very involved, and both the inner and outer courts pay close attention to it and cannot be ignored.
General Yuan Fu is admonishing the world, and he is busy with all kinds of things, so it is rare for him to be distracted, so this matter... I beg you, please pay more attention to it, and don't let anything go wrong."
Gao Pragmatic raised his hands and said: "I obey your order."
For Gao Pragmatic, Zhu Yijun's words are even better. It means that in addition to the joint action of the inner and outer courts, the East Factory and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the thorough investigation of the "Medicinal Diet Case" also has his Gao Pragmatic representative.
The emperor and the cabinet came to supervise.
According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, supervisory power often turns into execution power, or at least has the ability to intervene in execution, thus often overpowering execution power and becoming the leader. Now Zhu Yijun said this, Gao pragmatism is equivalent to obtaining thorough investigation to a large extent.
I don’t know whether Zhu Yijun did this on purpose or if he just didn’t pay attention.
Just when the topic was about to end, suddenly there was a eunuch from outside who secretly made a gesture to Chen Ju. However, this "secretly" did not seem to be hidden from Zhu Yijun, so Zhu Yijun also noticed it.
Doing this in front of the emperor is not because the Supervisor is stupid. Everyone knows that the Supervisor does have an emergency to report. However, although the situation is urgent, it is not to the point where the Emperor must be reported immediately and directly.
, there is still time to report it to the Chief of Ceremonies.
Zhu Yijun motioned to Chen Ju to ask for explanation. Chen Ju confessed and left the Xinuang Pavilion. He listened to the eunuch's report at the door and quickly entered again.
Chen Ju didn't wait for Zhu Yijun to ask questions, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen Ge led more than 20 officials from various ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to temporarily report."
Zhu Yijun was startled for a moment, then quickly frowned and said, "Temporary review? Huh, are we talking about the medicinal diet case this time, or the Huai'an private salt tax case?"
Chen Ju raised his head, with a strange look on his face. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, Mr. Shen Ge and the others asked the emperor to grant me the Zen title of Mount Tai."
As soon as these words came out, not only Wang Jiaping and Gao Pragmatic were stunned, but Zhu Yijun himself was also stunned.
This time was different from the past. Wang Jiaping reacted faster and said immediately: "Feng Chan? What the hell did Shen Jiaomen do? What reason did he propose to Feng Chan?"
Chen Ju bowed slightly to him and said: "The good teacher Yuan Fu knows that Mr. Shen Ge said that the emperor's life and death are inevitable. He saved the vassal state and returned Korea to China. He gained three thousand miles of land without conquest. These are the two saints of virtue. Today.
When Korea is established as a province, the new king has decided on two things, and he should declare it to the world with the title of Zen."
Wang Jiaping was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "If we say that the war in Korea was indeed an attempt to help out the crisis, the inclusion of Korea was also the joy that the people hoped for. However, although the gains from this war were many, they were not enough to compare with the destruction that day.
Chasing the remaining yuan.
In this case, after the extermination of the Can Yuan Dynasty, my emperor still lived in humility and never made any move to enshrine Zen. Now that he has accepted North Korea, his achievements are not as good as before, so how can he do this instead?"
Wang Jiaping's words were obviously matter-of-fact. For the Ming Dynasty, taking North Korea - no matter how it was won, would not be as important as taking over the Chahar Ministry. After all, the latter was the Ming Dynasty's biggest enemy for two hundred years.
It is a huge victory that proves the world's orthodoxy in the Ming Dynasty.
So, since we defeated Chahar and forced Chahar to flee thousands of miles to the west without being awarded the title of Zen, how can we be worthy of the title of "Fengchan" after taking over North Korea? It is simply ridiculous.
However, after Wang Jiaping said these words, Zhu Yijun on the throne did not speak. Instead, he stared at the memorial in Chen Ju's hand, wondering what he was thinking.
Gao Pingshi saw it clearly and couldn't help but feel a warning in his heart: Unexpectedly, the memorial sent from North Korea today turned out to be Shen Yiguan's life-saving straw. This old boy really has some skills! This matter... is not easy to handle.
