Chapter 291 Fortunately Nanjing (12) I want to be alone
Zhu Yijun was sitting in front of the imperial desk in the Qianqing Palace, holding a highly pragmatic memorial in his hand, with his brows furrowed. The text on the memorial was not complicated, but the information revealed in it made him think deeply.
"Nanjing Palace Renovation Case..." Zhu Yijun murmured to himself, glancing back and forth over the memorial, as if he wanted to read more between the lines.
He had a very deep understanding of Gao Jingshi, the chief minister of the dynasty, the Duke of Jing, just as Gao Jingshi also knew him very well. He knew that most people only saw that Gao Jingshi had launched a variety of reforms and had made various There are various business models, so they subconsciously think that Gao Pragmatic is a person who likes to use hammers and sticks. No one knows what he will do next.
However, Zhu Yijun knew very well that Gao Pragmatic never did anything without a clear purpose. This memorial seems simple. It just compares Nanjing's quotation with the actual cost of the renovation of the Nanjing Imperial Palace. Not to mention that it has no handling opinions. , Gao Pragmatic didn’t even have a single comment. But it’s this indifference that only illustrates the power behind it.
"Is Rixin trying to test my attitude?" Zhu Yijun thought to himself, "Or does he want to take this opportunity to completely rectify Nanjing's officialdom and drive out all Xin School officials?"
Zhu Yijun stood up, walked to the window, looked at the night outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
"Nanjing is the capital of the country." Zhu Yijun thought to himself, "Although it is not as majestic as Beijing, it is still an important city of the country and the center of politics, economy and culture in the entire south. Not only is the Weixin School deeply rooted in Nanjing, but its nobles have been entrenched for more than 200 years. It has been freezing for years. It is not as cold as a day. If this matter cannot be handled properly, I am afraid it will cause greater turmoil."
In his view, Gao Pragmatic's memorial was not only talking about the corruption problem in the renovation of the Nanjing Imperial Palace, but also talking about the atmosphere of Nanjing's officialdom and the influence of the Xinxue School on the southern forces.
"Rixin, Rixin, what do you want?" Zhu Yijun sighed in his heart, "You threw this problem to me, do you want me to make this decision? With your prestige and authority today, are you still afraid of making this decision? If you don't get the result you want, do you still need me to support you?"
Zhu Yijun turned around, walked back to the imperial cabinet, picked up the memorial again, and his eyes became firm.
"No matter what, now that the evidence has been obtained, the matter must be dealt with." Zhu Yijun has already made a decision in his heart, "Even the repair of the palace must be done, and Nanjing's problems can no longer be left alone. Rixin's move, although it may It’s meant to be a test, but it’s still pointing me in the right direction.”
He took a deep breath, picked up the ink pen, and was about to write ink on the memorial, but the moment he started writing, he suddenly retracted his hand.
Zhu Yijun seemed to have thought of something again. He slowly put down his ink pen, touched his chin with his right hand, and reorganized his thoughts.
"No, no, the problem in Nanjing is far more than just corruption." Zhu Yijun felt that he slowly figured out Gao Pragmatic's intentions, "The influence of the Xin School and the power of the nobles are nothing if viewed separately. No big deal, but if they are as close as they are on other matters like this palace renovation project...it seems that this pragmatic move is indeed guiding me, but it is not as I thought before."
Of course he knew that as the chief minister of the dynasty, Gao Pangshi had recently been granted the title of Civil Minister and Duke, and his influence on the dynasty was undoubtedly extremely huge. Then, his memorial would soon be adopted by the cabinet, the Inspectorate and other ministries.
The Yamen knew about it, but he didn't put forward a single opinion...
A fool would think that Gao Pragmatic did not dare to face such a power combination, but a wise man would understand that a storm is coming. For the emperor, the problem now is that Gao Pragmatic knows the officialdom well and will naturally predict these, so he
What is the purpose of creating such a momentum?
"Rixin, what exactly do you want to do?" Zhu Yijun thought to himself, "When you leave this problem to me, do you really want me to make a decision, or do you already have your own plan?"
Zhu Yijun closed his eyes, but he was constantly thinking about various possibilities in his mind. He sat dryly in front of the imperial case, stroking Gao Pragmatic's memorial in his hand. He knew that this light piece of paper carried countless undercurrents in the court.
surge.
"Rixin, you are posing a problem for me." After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Yijun sighed with emotion, but he could not help but feel a bit of appreciation. He finally figured out that Gao Pragmatic's move had many intentions.
He was testing, pointing out, and showing strength to himself, and in the end he even expressed his position to himself.
"Nanjing is the nest of the Heart School and the back garden of nobles." Zhu Yijun's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "You claim to be deeply rooted, but you don't know that both I and Rixin have seen through your tricks.
Huh, don't you just think that I have important things to do when I go south this time, so I won't create any extraneous problems and take action against a seemingly huge power group like yours, so as not to cause political turmoil?
As for Rixin, you are also sure that he will not ignore the overall situation and ruin my major affairs. Even if he knows what you have done, he can only tolerate it this time, pretending to have no evidence, hold it high, and gently
Let it go... Haha, it really is a good plan.
How come you haven’t made any progress after so many years? At first, you thought that Nixin only relied on the relationship with my classmates to rise to the top. Later, you had to admit that Nixin’s army was superior, and then you had to admit that Nixin’s military skills were outstanding.
Xin’s financial management is unparalleled, but now... you are still unwilling to admit that Rixin’s power and strategy are also beyond your reach.”
Zhu Yijun let out a long sigh.
He deliberately placed Gao Pangshi in Chunhe Palace just to scare away the enemy and make those secret forces unable to restrain themselves and jump out on their own. What he wanted was for them to join forces in panic. Because he wanted to know what happened in Nanjing.
To what extent has the Heart School and the nobles been connected? Is it necessary to crack down on it, or even... to scare the monkeys?
Obviously, Gao Pragmatic has seen through this purpose. But it doesn't matter, he is not afraid of Gao Pragmatic seeing through this, because even if he sees through it, he knows that Gao Pragmatic will not ruin his own good show.
However, Gao Pragmatic's next move was more subtle than he expected. He did not directly attack the Heart School and the nobles, but chose a seemingly inconspicuous palace renovation project as a breakthrough point.
This approach can avoid directly causing turmoil in the court and confine the matter within the category of "corruption" rather than a power struggle among interest groups. At the same time, it can still unknowingly affect the inner state of the mind.
The connection between the school and the nobles was exposed to the sun.
"Rixin, you are telling me that you have obtained evidence of their crimes, right?" A faint smile appeared on Zhu Yijun's lips. He knew that Gao Pragmatic was showing him that he was capable of solving the problem.
This problem, but I am not willing to solve it personally.
Yes, Gao Jingshi didn't want to solve it personally, which is why he didn't put forward any suggestions in the memorial. This surprised Zhu Yijun, so he thought about it for a long time just now to understand that Gao Jingshi was keeping a low profile and didn't want to let anyone know.
He himself became the target of public criticism.
"What are you worried about?" Zhu Yijun shook his head gently, "Are you worried about causing turmoil in the court and discussions among scholars, or... are you worried about my attitude?"
He sighed and curled his lips again. Although Gao pragmatism's approach was safe, it was not the result he wanted. What he wanted was for Gao pragmatism to be able to ignore all the opinions of others and work with the Xin School and the nobles.
Completely draw the line.
"Rixin, what I promised you has been given to you on time according to the tacit understanding between you and me, and I will never change my mind about what I will give you in the future. But in this case, you should not worry about the rest... Since
You've already taken action, so don't stop."
Zhu Yijun's eyes became firm and he said proudly: "I will give you enough support so that you can go ahead and do it. I don't just want you to do this thing well, but I want you to be a pure minister and a good person."
Anything a lonely minister should do!"
He picked up his ink pen and scrawled annotations on the memorial: "Ask the Procuratorate of the Capital and the Imperial Guards to handle this case together. The truth must be revealed. The Grand Master of Zhongji Palace, the Duke of Jingguo, is pragmatic and pragmatic. He holds the Emperor's Sword.
, be sure to get to the bottom of it.”
Zhu Yijun put down his ink pen and looked through the window at the night in the distance.
"Rixin, I'm waiting to see your performance." A confident smile appeared on Zhu Yijun's lips, "I believe that you will not let me down this time."

PS: The number of words in this chapter is a little short, but I thought about it and realized that there is really nothing to add. If I add more, it would be superfluous, so that’s it.
