Chapter 283 Zheng Guoben (Yuan San) has his own plans
It is not surprising that Shen Yiguang is anxious, after all, the investigation of the "Medicinal Diet Case" has already begun. Although he feels that the arrangements are quite appropriate, if Jin Yiwei really intends to investigate thoroughly, the methods he arranged may not be effective, and some can be used as Although the evidence passed through several hands, it was eventually found by someone following the clues.
Therefore, Shen Yiguan must move quickly, otherwise once the matter is exposed, even if he is pragmatic and wants to let him go, it may not be convenient.
There is another very important thing. Shen Yiguan also wants to clarify a doubtful point through today's confession, that is, he sent people to Xinzheng with the intention of assassinating Gao Zai and his wife. Does Gao Pragmatic know or not.
According to Shen's consistent thinking, if Gao Jingshi really knew about this matter and even had evidence in his hands, then Gao Jingshi should not let him go today. On the contrary, if Gao Jingshi was willing to let him go, it means that this matter The matter was not discovered by him, or even if he had suspicions, he was unable to obtain evidence.
In this matter, Shen Yiguan finally made a mistake that normal people would make. A normal Ming Dynasty person would definitely be furious if he learned that someone was planning to assassinate his parents, and he would also have enough reasons to take down his opponent. ——After all, this is the Ming Dynasty. If you put the word "filial piety" on the table and you are a victim, then even the emperor can't tell you that you are wrong.
But Shen Guanyi never expected that Gao Pragmatic was not a "normal Ming Dynasty person". Although he was also annoyed that Shen Guanyi's method was too despicable, he was not filled with righteous indignation or rage. Instead, he chose to keep the evidence until it was needed. Throw them together.
For Gao pragmatism, Shen Guanguan mainly wanted to force himself to worry about Ding through this incident. After all, killing his father and mother was just an attempted crime, and it would not make him angry enough to lose his mind. This is more of a handle, a person who can be used at any time. The bomb that was thrown to kill Shen Yiguang should be kept when it is needed most.
Just like the conditions that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield in the age of firearms, the key is the amount of firepower projected per unit time and within the unit range, so there is no need to rush to use this kind of handle.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, if Shen Yiguan does not take the initiative to kill him, Gao Pragmatic is actually not willing to kill him now. Moreover, judging from Shen Yiguan's performance today, he has also discovered this himself.
How can we tell that Shen Guanyi has discovered this? Because today he specifically hinted that Gao Pragmatic now resembles Huo Guang.
Shen has always been betting, betting high and being pragmatic, and he is not willing to really go in the direction of Huo Guang now.
Moreover, the reason why Huo Guang became the super powerful minister who could lead the abolition and establishment later required at least three prerequisites: first, Emperor Wu was no longer around, and he was the chief Gu Ming; second, Jin Rixi, Shangguan Jie, Tian Qianqiu , Sang Hongyang and others were eliminated one by one by him as ministers who cared about life; thirdly, he always firmly controlled the military power, and at the same time, he had the Queen Mother on his side to provide political endorsement for any of his actions.
These three premises cannot be achieved by today's high pragmatism, especially the two points of "emperor Wu is dead" and "endorsement by the Queen Mother".
Huo Guang's current high pragmatism, authority and prestige have far surpassed that of Huo Guang before Emperor Wu's death, but as he said today, most of the credit for all his achievements must be recorded on the emperor himself.
That means that although Gao Jingshi's prestige is now high, the emperor's prestige is even higher - he, Emperor Wanli, is the master of ZTE, and Gao Jingshi can only be regarded as a famous minister of ZTE. Therefore, as long as the emperor is still there, Gao Jingshi will It is impossible to really become Huo Guang in just one day.
However, Shen Yiguan's previous behavior was pushing the emperor towards death. This seems a bit unreasonable. There must be some reasons.
What's the reason?
There are at least three reasons: First, not many emperors of the Ming Dynasty have lived a long life so far, and the dragon body in the world does not look that good. Shen has always believed that even if he did not take action secretly, the emperor would definitely not survive. He has never been absent from work. , a highly pragmatic person who can lead troops into battle at every turn - even though they are the same age.
Secondly, if the emperor dies, judging from the current situation, the chief minister Gu Ming will undoubtedly be Gao Gong, and there will definitely be no second candidate. What’s even more frightening is that, referring to Gao Gong’s performance that year, there is a high probability Before the emperor dies, there will be one more public endorsement: "If everything is not decided, just ask Mr. Gao." Then the whole thing is over.
Thirdly, if everything develops normally according to the current situation, the crown prince position will definitely fall into the hands of the emperor's legitimate son, and Gao Pragmatic is the number one contributor who insists on waiting for the Queen to give birth to a legitimate son before he can establish the crown prince. Then once the emperor takes over in the future, If the Empress Dowager Li is gone, the "Queen Mother's support" will be a sure thing for Gao Pragmatic.
In this way, the great power in the DPRK will be completely controlled by Gao Pragmatic, and the power of "Huo Guang" will be achieved in an instant.
Of course, the issue of military power is not mentioned here. The main reason is that this point simply does not need to be mentioned.
Although it is reasonable to say that there are three branches of soldiers in the capital: Jinyi Guards, Jingjun, and Imperial Guards.
However, even a three-year-old child knows that it is okay for Jin Yiwei to detect information, stand guard, and travel as a police officer, but do you really want them to go to war... Then forget it.
When talking about the Pure Army, we must first talk about the nature of this army. "People in Gyeonggi envied the wealth of internal officials, so they secretly castrated young boys in order to be used. There were also undocumented children, married people who committed suicide, and the Ministry of Rites reported them every time. Please, please lead the Imperial Guards out in large numbers, all of them will be spared from death, and assign them to a guard station outside the mouth, named Jingjun.
If he is pardoned, he will be sent to Nanyuan to grow vegetables according to the story. If there is a vacancy, he will be selected to serve. There are also those who can solve the problem intelligently and become prominent."
To put it simply, if there is not the premise of "self-castration", it is roughly similar to the Song Dynasty's habit of recruiting refugees into the Xiang army. It was mainly used as a means of maintaining stability to prevent them from being idle and causing trouble. After recruiting this group of people, , the vast majority of people do not really join the army, but go to "Nanyuan to grow vegetables". Only when "there is a vacancy" will they be selected to serve.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, even if they are recruited, the number of this team itself is very limited. After all, their role in the capital is relatively limited. In many cases, they only guard the palace and the prince's palace. What.
The largest number of them was in the late Jiajing period. At that time, because there were too many people who could not survive, many people cut off their descendants and came to join the Purification Army. The Purification Army at its peak numbered about 20,000 people - of course, Most of them still grow vegetables in "Nanyuan".
Therefore, although this force is nominally a core force directly under the Royal Horse Supervisor, its core key lies in its identity, not the reliability of its force.
Now the real core force of the imperial court is actually one: the Imperial Guard.
This powerful army is now known as the best army in the world. If a small part is sent south casually, it scares the rebel cavalry army, which is said to have 100,000 soldiers, to collapse. The deterrence is evident. At the same time, it can also be said that whoever controls the Imperial Guard,
In fact, he took control of the military power of the capital.
Now that the emperor is still here, half of his tiger talisman is needed to mobilize the imperial guards, and the emperor himself has enough prestige, so there is no need to worry about the loyalty of the imperial guards.
What if the emperor is gone? Even if the half tiger talisman is not in the hands of Gao Jingshi personally, it will definitely fall into the hands of Queen Wang - or Queen Mother Wang. That is not much different from falling into the hands of Gao Jingshi.
What's more, if there is any emergency, considering that the current commander of the Imperial Guard is Ma Gui, with Gao's pragmatism in the army and the prestige in Ma Gui's mind, if someone wants to correct the imperial edict, he can go to the Beijing North Camp and say something.
——No matter whether it is following the late emperor's decree or the Queen Mother Yi's decree, in short, who among the 70,000 imperial guards would jump out and question it?
In front of the real founder of the Imperial Guard, the invincible number one literary commander in the world, who the hell dares to question! During the Gaoping Ling Incident, Sima Yi didn’t have anything, he just captured Sima Men. You see, there are still questions from the Imperial Guard.
him?
Gao Wuzhen's trump card now is more than ten times stronger than Sima Yi's at that time. It can be said that as long as Jin Shang is not here, the Beijing Guards Camp can decide according to his wishes whether his surname is Zhu or Gao!
Therefore, Shen Yiguan did not consider military power at all. He knew that his only chance at that time was to take advantage of the window period when the emperor was still there and the prince had not yet been determined. He quickly forced Gao Jingshi to force Ding You to leave the capital, and then let the emperor's legitimate son die unexpectedly.
He died unexpectedly, and finally pushed the eldest son of the emperor to the throne!
At that time, the imperial power was in hand, so he quickly replaced Ma Gui, and the matter was basically settled. If Gao Jingjing still wanted to resist at this time, it would be a rebellion. Shen never thought that Gao Jingjing would do this. It can be said that,
Shen Guangyuan's plan is very subtle. If everything goes well, he can indeed complete a shocking reversal.
However, just as Gao Pragmatic does not like to make tactics extremely complicated in combat, if a plan is too complicated, then any link in it will cause the entire plan to become abnormal or even completely invalid.
As expected, Shen Yiguang's problem lies here. Although Gao Pingshi didn't fully grasp his plan, he just suddenly struck out at one or two links in the middle. His entire plan was like a dike that had been hollowed out by an ant nest.
The huge waves collapsed with a crash, leaving nothing behind.
To be a gambler, one must have the awareness to lose everything. Shen has always had this awareness, but he is not an ordinary gambler after all. After a period of panic, he really found out the "life gate": I am now your last
If I were defeated by you, wouldn't it be you who have the final say in this court?
However, the surname of this court is not Gao. Can the emperor tolerate such a situation? Are you really planning to openly compete with the emperor for power in the world?
Shen Yiguan decided to take one last gamble, betting that Gao Jingjing was a cautious person and would not reveal any thoughts of powerful officials in front of "Emperor Wu".
Even if he really wanted to become Huo Guang, he would have to wait for Emperor Wu to pass away and give him political endorsement, and then he would eliminate other ministers who threatened him one by one.
He bets high and is pragmatic and already has a winning chance, so he will not take risks easily, and will definitely choose the safest way to obtain power, making all processes seem smooth and smooth, and it is natural that he will finally deserve his title.
Shen Yiguan made the right bet. As expected, Gao Pingshi agreed with him to go south to Mount Tai, and even asked him by name to go further and simply go to Nanjing to tidy up the Nanjing Imperial Palace.
Is this a distribution? It can be said that it is, but Shen has always been very satisfied.
Different from Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and others, Shen Guangyuan's seemingly efforts for the Heart School did not really have any illusions about the Heart School defeating the Real School. He only regarded the Heart School as his power base and as his own The stage of advancement.
For a person like Shen Yiguan, as long as he can gain power, what if he transforms into a member of the Real School?
Orthodoxy? Can orthodoxies be used as food, or can they be used as power?
Even if the Xin School has obtained the orthodoxy, if he, Shen Yiguan, cannot become Yuanfu of the Ming Dynasty, who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people, then this orthodoxy is of no use and has nothing to do with him? He would rather sacrifice his son's future. A loving father who wants to protect his own future!
Although I am giving up now, as the old saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as you keep your position in the cabinet, after two years, the Emperor Taishan will complete the canonization. As the first to initiate the canonization, you will definitely be satisfied with your ambitions. His Majesty the Emperor regards him as a great hero, then he still has a chance to make a comeback.
And when the time comes, Gao Jingshi, as the main contributor to the emperor's achievements in being able to confer Zen on Mount Tai, will definitely be promoted again. By that time... hey, maybe he himself has already reached the point where a flying dragon is in the sky, and Kanglong has regrets. I waved to him from the front!
Shen always looked at the pragmatic Gao who was drifting away, and even though he was already in a "retreating" situation, he still snorted proudly.
However, Gao's pragmatic expression was also very relaxed. He returned to his room with a calm expression and called Xiong Tingbi over, asking him to ask the ceremonial supervisor who had written several memorials if his reply had arrived. .
Today there are several memorials that Gao Pragmatic is particularly concerned about, including several issues such as military hierarchy reform (A, B, and C classification system), disaster relief in Liaodong and Jiangnan, etc.
This is Gao's pragmatic style. He rarely affects the government affairs at hand because of political battles. However, Xiong Tingbi's answer made him frown slightly. It was not that Xiong Tingbi had any problem himself, but that he told Mr. Gao Ge, the Supervisor of Ceremonies There is no reply.
However, Gao Pragmatic's brows soon relaxed in relief, because Xiong Tingbi said the reason: "It is said that because Wang An committed suicide, the Secretary of Li is a little confused... The emperor gave Wang An good courtesy, and the Secretary of Li I'm afraid the prison officer is going to have to do a lot of things, and Chen Zhangyin is Wang An's recommender anyway, so he will be busy for at least a few days."
This is true, and it is true in theory. However, Gao Pragmatic is still a little unhappy, because although it does not matter if he waits for a few days for the military hierarchy reform, the disasters in Liaodong and Jiangnan cannot wait, and he, the Minister of Household Affairs, is still very responsible for this.
Heartfelt.
"Send someone to send a message and tell them that I want to see the emperor." Gao pragmatically ordered. Xiong Tingbi didn't say much and immediately agreed. But as soon as he walked to the door, he ran into several small yellow gates of the ceremonial supervisors.
Come to deliver the emperor's decree.
Xiong Tingbi got out of the way and invited them into Gao Jingshi's room. The leader, Xiao Huangmen, first raised his chest and declared: "Your Majesty, please come to Dongnuang Pavilion to discuss important matters!" Then he immediately bent down and came to Gao Jingshi.
He bowed and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Majesty, you have been waiting for a while. Will Mr. Gao move to Dongnuan Pavilion immediately?"
Gao Pingshi stood up immediately after hearing this, but immediately paused and said in surprise: "In Dongnuan Pavilion?"
Xiaohuangmen responded repeatedly, while Gao Pragmatic frowned slightly.
He knows Zhu Yijun's habits very well: if he is summoning ministers in Xinuang Pavilion, it is mostly government affairs; if he is summoning ministers in Dongnuan Pavilion, it is mostly private matters...
