Gao pragmatism was so patient that he hurried to Gao University's residence. Unexpectedly, before he reached the atrium, he heard the sound of singing coming from inside.
"I am worried about my pulse, I can't bear to see the dragon fly north, and there are piles of books on my desk at noon. I am piled up several feet in my arms, and I am not worried about sweating all day long. How can I accompany the book with my food? I can't get rid of the traitor in the court. Who can help me? I
Xia Yan was determined to serve the country and regain his strength in Hetao. The day before yesterday, he sent Zeng Mian to supervise the troops. Fortunately, he was very disciplined and skilled in planning. He could be said to be an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. However, Qiu Luan, a man with a strong military burden, refused to help. Zeng Mian repeatedly asked for reinforcements.
Ding Rukui and others said that they should hold on to the city. If they don't rescue them, all their previous efforts will be wasted. I think it is Yan Song who blames me for being in power, and he is afraid that Zeng Mian will succeed, causing the border generals to retire and the heroes to be discouraged. What should we do? Today I specially invite the Lao Cheng Ministry to discuss.
Let's see what Yan Song thinks..."
"The border town is dusty and dark, but there is no one in Shiyan..."
"It's a waste of money to pay for the Tai Pavilion, but it's a great ambition to share the worries..."
Gao pragmatically turned into the atrium with a confused look on his face, and sure enough he saw a singing stage set up in the courtyard and a performance was being performed. Gao Gong, his wife Zhang and others were sitting under the stage and watching with great interest.
The lady had sharp eyes and saw Gao Pragmatic first. She smiled and nodded to him, then turned to tell Gao Gong.
Gao Gong turned his head and waved to Gao Jingshi, who stepped forward helplessly.
"Why are you here again today?" After Gao Gong finished speaking, without waiting for Gao Pragmatic's reply, he asked again: "Have you heard of this play?"
Gao Pragmatic didn't know how to play. He immediately shook his head and said that he had never heard of it.
Gao Gong pointed toward the stage, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "What I'm singing today is the sixth chapter of Ming Feng Ji... Do you know about Ming Feng Ji? It was written by Wang Shizhen of Taicang. This person is a bit extreme, but
His literary talent is quite good, and he is also very courageous."
Oh, the author of this song is Wang Shizhen! You know, you know, he is the great talent who later compared Sanbo to coal in "The Biography of the First Assistant Since Jiajing". This person is not only extreme, but also narrow-minded.
, maybe the literary talent is indeed good, but when writing history, the buttocks are too crooked to sit, and he cannot be considered a real historian.
However, Gao Pragmatic's understanding of Wang Shizhen basically doesn't stop there. He is a complete layman in terms of opera and so on.
But Gao Gong didn't know Gao Jingshi's slander, let alone Wang Shizhen's resentment towards him. Seeing Gao Jingshi's expression of complete incomprehension, he smiled and said: "This song is a new song. It was just released not long ago. I wrote it."
The story is about the fight between Yang Jisheng and others and Yan Song."
"The story of the fall of Yan?" Gao Pragmatic said in surprise: "Weren't you in the court at that time? Do you know these things much better than Wang Shizhen, and why do you want to see what music he wrote?"
Gao Gong glared at him and lectured: "I dare to call Wang Shizhen by his first name, why do you do the same? He was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, the same year as Zhang Taiyue, you should use the honorific title when calling him!"
Gao Pingshi was embarrassed for a while and replied: "My nephew is not disrespectful to his seniors, but he really doesn't know the royal title."
"His name is Fengzhou." Gao Gong resented the indifference and taught him a lesson: "Wang Shizhen is famous in the literary world. You are a junior. You should be careful when you speak and don't be criticized."
Gao pragmatically had no choice but to admit his mistakes again and again, but secretly thought in his heart: You don't really pay much attention to him, or else you will be tricked by him like that later?
Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Gao Gong let him go and said: "Although I have experienced this personally, how many people in the world can really count it as personal experience? Didn't they just hear it from these folk art talks? However, I heard
This drama is not to recall anything, but right now there are people out there comparing me to Yan Fenyi. I just want to see how Yan Fenyi and I are the same. Apart from being both chief assistants, what else can we compare to?
"...Why are you laughing? If I am regarded as Yan Fenyi, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape Yan Donglou!"
Gao pragmatic laughed and said: "Is this why you are doing it?"
Gao Gong snorted and said: "That's not entirely true." As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes again and was silent for a moment before saying: "As I said just now, this is the sixth episode of Ming Feng Ji, and this episode is called 'Two
Fighting for the throne'."
Oh, I got it.
Gao pragmatic smiled again and said, "Isn't that great? The Yan Fenyi now is not you, you are Xia Guizhou."
Guizhou is Xia Yan's nickname.
Xia Yan's posthumous reputation is very good. This sixth play of Ming Feng Ji is before Yan Song tried every means to overthrow Xia Yan. Therefore, by analogy, Gao Gong should be Xia Yan, and Zhang Ju should be Yan Song.
Unexpectedly, Gao Gong's face was expressionless and he rolled his eyelids: "Xia Guizhou is dead, Yan Fenyi killed him."
Gao's pragmatic smile suddenly froze.
Seeing that the tone of the conversation was not right, Mrs. Zhang pretended to be angry and said: "You two, old and young, don't even care about it at ordinary times, why can't you even listen to a play? Master, Pragmatism is only ten years old, don't always treat him as one of your disciples
Look, he’s still young!”
"Madam, you don't know. No one in the whole government dares to treat him as a ten-year-old child." Gao Gong laughed, and the gloom on his face disappeared. He stood up and said, "Come on, it's really not me who watches the theater and listens to the music."
Just take your time and listen to my pastime... To be pragmatic, you come with me for a walk."
Gao pragmatic smiled and thanked his wife for rescuing her, and then he made a confession and left with Gao Gong.
Their uncle and nephew left, and Gao Gong's two concubines, Cao and Xue, asked Zhang: "The master just said that no one in the whole court dares to treat pragmatism as a ten-year-old child. Sister, do you know what you mean?"
?"
Mrs. Zhang glanced at them and said, "I know what you want to ask. Now that we have three families and no children, the next generation of the Gao family will be pragmatic." She glanced at Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Xue, and sighed: "We
They are all miserable people. I am a little better. What will you do in the future? The master is a traditional person. Apart from some contacts with his disciples, he can only bring back a little bit of ice and charcoal. In the past two years, fortunately, he has been pragmatic and has the means to do tricks.
It seems that he has made so much money, and he is a conscientious person. He knows how to secretly use the money to support my family, otherwise..."
She paused and then said: "It's not that I don't know what you are worried about. I advise you all to take a look at your parents' homes to see if there are any relatives or juniors who can do something good. Recommend them to pragmatic people. They will always be the same ones when the time comes.
I will rely on you when you are old."
Cao and Xue were both ashamed and happy. They blushed and thanked them, and then asked how they should choose the person.
Mrs. Gao said: "To be honest, I don't know much about pragmatic business, but if you just want to be safe, I can still teach you something: It doesn't require them to be very capable, as long as they are honest and loyal. In this way, even if there is no future
If you have a big hair, you can at least have enough food and clothing, and the same goes for you."
The two of them were taught a lesson and felt grateful again.
Gao Qingshi had already accompanied Gao Gong to the backyard. Gao Gong's residence was really small, and the backyard was cramped. He barely built a small rockery and planted some pots of flowers and plants around it. It was considered a garden.
There are no pavilions, let alone any attic waterside pavilions.
Gao Gong was not an idle person who was interested in growing flowers. He walked to a few pots of flowers and stood still. Suddenly he turned around and asked, "You came here to ask me how I plan to deal with today's events?"
Gao Jingshi already knew in his heart that Gao Gong had accepted his previous proposal, so he did not intend to dwell on it anymore, but said: "The third uncle has already concluded this matter, so why do I need my nephew to say anything more? My nephew is here for another matter...
That just happened."
"What's the matter?" Gao Gong closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be immersed in the fragrance of the flowers.
"Liang asked Meng Shangshu, Chief of Military Affairs..." Gao Pragmatic did not hide anything. He told Gao Gong exactly what happened at Guo Pu's place just now, and then quietly lowered his hands and remained still.
Gao Gong was not angry as expected, but was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I learned the news in the morning and went back to my hometown by myself. Just after lunch at noon, the emperor's imperial edict came."
Gao Pragmatic was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "The Emperor wants you to go to court to defend yourself?"
The reason why he couldn't believe it was because if the emperor issued a decree to ask the impeached minister to defend himself, generally speaking, this meant urging, that is to say: the emperor was very angry and ordered you to explain quickly.
But based on Gao Pragmatic's understanding of Long Qing, although Cao Daye's impeachment letter today was very scary, and it seemed that Gao Gong had committed a heinous crime, it was actually nothing at all - the last time Xu Jie pushed Manchao to reverse Gong, Gao Gong
Gongdu was scolded by the cursed god Ouyang Yijing, who was compared to Cai Jinglai of the Song Dynasty. He was accused of so many "crimes" that Gao Gong himself could not even count them. What was the result? The emperor didn't take it seriously at all.
Because he didn't believe it at all, he just kept giving orders to appease Gao Gong.
It makes no sense that the emperor suddenly became confused at this time.
Just as he was wondering, Gao Gong waved his hand and said, "How is that possible? The emperor decreed that a building be given to me to house Chen Han. This building and this hall were also given plaques by the emperor: Baomo Building, Jianzhong Hall."
Oh, by the way, I was also rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, saying it would be used to build the building."
Gao pragmatic breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately frowned: "But in this case, wouldn't it be even more inappropriate to write Liang Zhangke's essay at the wrong time?"
According to Gao Pingshi's thoughts, the emperor's reaction after reading this memorial should be: I just comforted Mr. Gao, and Mr. Gao persuaded Mr. Zhang's students to rebel?
Unexpectedly, Gao Gong shook his head and said: "I know what you are worried about, but you are thinking too much. The emperor knows my character well. Since I promised him, I will never go back on it. Therefore, Liang Wen Meng's matter
, it’s just Zhang Taiyue’s behavior that caused everyone to betray his relatives, what does it have to do with me?”
Only then did Gao Pragmatic suddenly realize that he still didn't understand enough about the friendship between the monarch and his ministers. However, this incident also explained another point: why Gao Gong in history was determined to win the title of "
Feng Bao, who was ordered by the late Emperor to be the Chief Seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies - he did not think that the "late Emperor" would appoint Feng Bao as the Chief Seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies without consulting him. In other words, Gao Gong believed that this was absolutely impossible.
It was not Long Qing's death order, but Feng Baojiao's edict.
But one thing is strange. Let’s not talk about whether Feng Bao corrected the imperial edict or not. Even if he corrected the imperial edict, someone had to agree with it. Who had the power to agree with it at that time? Gao Gong could represent the approval of the cabinet. This is on the one hand;
On the one hand, it can only be the recognition of the new emperor - which is actually the recognition of the two palaces.
So, this is equivalent to Gao Gongming knowing that Feng Bao's appointment as the Chief of Ceremony was the intention of the two palaces, and he still firmly opposed it?
Gao pragmatic sighed and finally understood a key point: Gao Gong at that time must have been too responsible.
He felt that Long Qing was too kind to him. As the leader and assistant of Tuogu, he took all major events as his own responsibility. From his point of view, Feng Bao's position as the chief minister of etiquette was the most dangerous thing. Wang Zhen,
Liu Jin was not far from learning, and he could not tolerate this possibility at all, so even though he knew that Feng Bao was promoted by the two palaces, he still fiercely opposed it.
The root of the tragedy turns out to be here!
Third uncle, third uncle, these two palaces are no better than the wise and foolish Emperor Longqing. They actually have no political experience at all. If the target of your approach is an adult emperor, the emperor will definitely consider his future reputation and will probably not treat you two.
The elders of the dynasty asked the solitary leader to help him do the hard work.
But the two palaces are different. Even though they are a queen and a concubine, they have even been promoted to "Queen Mother" at that time, but in fact, these are two ordinary women who have not read many books! They will only think that you are authoritarian and domineering.
Politics, plotting evil!
At this time, as long as someone exaggerates and exaggerates it, you will really be Zhou Zhao reincarnated, and in their eyes, you will be no different from being reckless!
Long Qing has great trust in you. You have so much power, and he just feels more and more responsible that you are responsible. The two palaces know you somewhat. When they see that you have so much power, they will regard you as some kind of jade pillar that holds the sky, a golden beam that holds the sea.
I will only feel that you are trying to seize power!
Damn it, my third uncle was really unjustly defeated in history. The reason for the quarrel for a long time was not because the other party's level was too high, but because the other party's level was too low!
But, having said that, the idea Zhang Juzheng gave Feng Bao was really to the point!
Hey, wait, wait... If Zhang Juzheng knew Gao Gong's key point a long time ago, then what is his intention now that he pushed Liu Fenyong first, Cao Daye second, and successively impeached Gao Gong?
Doesn't he know that as long as Long Qing survives for a day, Gao Gong will actually have no flaws at all?
No, he doesn’t know, he is Zhang Juzheng, a proud disciple of Xu Jie’s true biography, he must know!
Gao pragmatic suddenly took a breath: Zhang Juzheng knew that these impeachments were of no use at all, and he kept sending cannon fodder to do this thing one after another. There was only one possibility!
He is paralyzing Gao Gong, making Gao Gong feel that his level is no more than this. Now he is at the end of his rope and is just struggling to his death!
In this way, he showed his weakness to the enemy, which made Gao Gong arrogant and made Gao Gong lose his vigilance. In this way, after Long Qing's death, Gao Gong suddenly discovered that Feng Bao dared to forge an imperial edict and become the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Naturally,
Lei Lei was so angry that he did not consider the feelings of the two weak women and the young emperor, the two palaces and the prince, and forced Feng Bao to be punished according to his own wishes...
Thinking of this, Gao Pragmatic felt a chill running down his spine.
Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng, you hide your thoughts so deeply!
When it comes to ruling the world and administering politics, my Third Uncle is no better than you. But when it comes to power and strategy, without the help of someone like me, I'm afraid that even if I, Third Uncle, are given ten more chances, I won't be able to defeat you, Zhang Juzheng!
