Chapter 136 This will make you powerful

Gao pragmatically said: "The reason why this matter involves the Queen Mother is actually quite unexpected. As a rule, the Third Princess and the Fourth Princess should not leave the palace at a time like today, but the Queen Mother is about to live a long life. That place The Buddhist temple was donated by the Queen Mother, who hoped that the temple could be completed before the Longevity Festival..."

He then conveyed the inside story that Zhu Yijun told him to Guo Pu, but did not mention the attitudes of the Queen Mother and the Emperor first.

After hearing this, Guo Pu's expression did not change much, and he said calmly: "It is indeed against the rules for a princess to leave the palace, but since she is running for the Queen Mother's longevity, it doesn't matter - this is filial piety."

Gao pragmatically said: "But the Queen Mother does not want the princess's leaving the palace to be publicized too much."

Guo Pu frowned: "The Jing army sent out and captured more than 200 servants of the Minister of War who had not yet taken office. How can we do this without too much 'publicity'? The people of the capital have always liked to watch the excitement and gossip a lot. , I don’t know how it has spread now, it is estimated that all kinds of nonsense and strange words have flooded the streets and alleys.”

Gao pragmatic sighed slightly and said: "So we have to find a way to lead things in another direction."

"Another direction?" Guo Pu's eyes narrowed: "Which direction, party struggle?"

Gao pragmatic did not answer directly, but frowned slightly and asked: "Ling Benbing was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. I wonder whose student he is?"

Guo Pu said expressionlessly: "The examiner of that session was Xu Huating, and Ling Yunyi's textbook was the Book of Rites, so his examiners were Chen Nanchong (Chen Yiqin) and Wu Xiaofeng (Wu Weiyue)."

Gao Pragmatic immediately understood that Ling Yunyi was from a good background. Zhang Juzheng, Yin Shidan, Wang Daokun, Hu Zhengmeng, and Lu Guangzu were all in the same year as him and came from the same house.

Not to mention Zhang Juzheng and Yin Shidan, the official died in the pavilion;

Wang Daokun, the left minister of the Ministry of War at the end of his official career, was a famous anti-Japanese minister, a literary giant, a master of drama, and it is said that he may also be the author of "Jin Ping Mei";

Hu Zhengmeng was the top prize in that year. He served as Zuo Yude of Zuochunfang in Zhanshifu and was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He and Gao Gong presided over the 44th Jiajing Examination together. Unfortunately, he died early;

Lu Guangzu was a typical Xu party member. When Hai Rui was appointed as governor of Yingtian, Xu Jie suffered terribly. Lu Guangzu thought it was Gao Gong who instigated this, and even went to Shu to impeach Hai Rui. He mentioned Gao Gong by the way and spoke fiercely.

However, he had a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng. Gao Gong considered Zhang Juzheng's face at that time and did nothing to him. After Guo Pu became the first assistant, he saw that Lu Guangzu was acting in a low-key manner, so he did not touch him and instead gave him a normal promotion. Now he is The right minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Seeing that Gao Pragmatic was silent, Guo Pu added another word to him: "In addition, although Ling Yunyi and Yin Zhengmao did not live in the same room, they were born in the same year, and I heard that they are closely related. When Yin Zhengmao took office last year, he had a big impression on Ling Yunyi. I also recommend that Ling Yunyi can serve as my soldier this time because of this factor."

Gao Pangshi's heart moved. He knew that Guo Pu's addition was not just to introduce Ling Yunyi's "another friend". In fact, this sentence meant: Xu Jie, among the people left by Zhang Juzheng's group, Ling Yunyi is one of the very important figures - in other words, Ling Yunyi is one of the big bosses left by Xu Dang and Zhang Dang.

In other words, he is one of the few giants among the Chao Zhong School.

Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but curl his lips: It can really involve party disputes. No wonder the teacher asked this just now.

If there is no party outside the party, there is imperial thought; if there is no faction within the party, there are all kinds of strange things. Although Gao Dang currently occupies an advantage in the government, it is not that there is no room for other schools of thought to survive outside Gao Dang, which is based on practical learning. It still has a huge market and fans.

At the same time, within the Gao Party, they are not monolithic. Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei also have their own supporters. Even Gao Pragmatic, if we have to put it aside, has his own supporters - is he standing up to Xinzheng Gao? Under the banner of being the heir to the family's mantle, even whether it is Guo Pu's line or Zhang Siwei's line, they will more or less be high-minded and pragmatic.

Of course, having said that, it is just to sell some face. As long as he fails to pass the Jinshi exam for a day, this face can only be regarded as the shadow of Gao Gong.

Since it involves party struggle, Gao Pragmatic couldn't answer casually and thought about it carefully.

Guo Pu didn't urge him, let alone ask questions, and actually started to close his eyes to rest.

I don't know how long it took before Gao Pingshi finally spoke slowly: "Teacher, I want to force Ling Yunyi back."

Guo Pu opened his eyes calmly, not particularly surprised. He just looked at Gao Pragmatic and asked: "Reason?"

Gao Pragmatic said coldly: "The dispute between practical learning and spiritual learning is ultimately a dispute over the country's major policies. And the direction of the country's major policies, whether it is 'pragmatic' or 'practical', whether it is self-improvement, where man can conquer nature, or whether it is mediocre, where misfortunes and blessings are caused." God decides on this."

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Guo Pu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "You want to start a party struggle? Do you know that the DPRK is no longer what it was when Su Qing was there."

When he said this, he sighed slightly: "I am nearly seventy years old. As a rule, I only have one or two years left in the court. Even if I am willing to go out and support you with all my strength, I may not be able to do it. This matter may cause more trouble."

Gao pragmatic shook his head slightly and said: "The students did not say that it is impossible to completely eliminate the mind study, and they did not even say to what extent they would suppress the Chao Zhongxue faction... This is just killing the monkey to scare the chicken."

"Kill the monkey to scare the chicken?" Guo Pu's eyelids drooped: "Ling Yunyi is that monkey? What about the chicken?"

"Anyone who violates the exam law is a chicken, and everyone should see how this monkey died." Gao Pragmatic said coldly: "The New Deal has been implemented for a long time, and although some results have been achieved, it is not enough. The Jiangnan area is still They mainly paid land tax and paid very little commercial tax - some prefectures and counties used to pay twenty-five taels of commercial tax a year, but now they have finally paid twenty-five taels in five years. According to the examination method, they are not It is true that commercial taxes have been increased, but is this data meaningful? Even if it is one hundred prefectures, how much has it actually been increased?"

"The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time." Guo Pu shook his head slightly: "There are many things in this dynasty. It depends not only on the data, but also on whether a routine has been formed. As long as a routine is formed, the general direction will be determined. .For example, as you just said, there are 100 prefectures, and now each prefecture has added 5 taels of commercial tax, which means an increase of 500 taels a year."

Guo Pu sighed: "Five hundred taels is of course an insignificant small number, but as long as the practice of the examination method is formed, then they will have to continue to increase every year on the basis of the previous year, and the little will make more, and the sand will become a tower. Twenty If you can rule the world in the next year, you will be able to take a look at the business tax by then."

Gao Pragmatic is only seventeen years old this year, and will not be forty years old twenty years later. Being able to rule the world at that age is already very impressive in Guo Pu's opinion.

But Gao Pragmatic seemed too lazy to consider this and still insisted: "Ling Yunyi must leave."

Guo Pu narrowed his eyes: "This is to establish authority...you want to exercise authority?"
