Chapter 35 Adding flowers and adding fuel to the fire (Part 1)
Liu Xian's anger was palpable, but Gao Pragmatic's expression was still relatively calm. It wasn't that he was so cold-blooded, but that the Ming Dynasty's military system had actually deteriorated shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The current Wei system was almost at the point of terminal illness. That was not
This problem is unique to Liu Xian's men or the guards near Nanjing, but it is a nationwide problem. The reason why the Beijing camp is constantly undergoing restructuring and adjustment is because the military system is rotten from the root, so no matter how it is changed,
It's all about changing the soup but not the medicine. Can't it produce any good "curative effect"?
But regarding this matter, Gao Pragmatic had to think carefully about whether he should help Liu Xian.
If he didn't help, he would be considered a favor to him today. Even if it happened because of their father and son, and even his motive for taking action was hard to say simple, but for a person who tried to take the civil service path into politics,
For his part, Gao Pragmatic is not willing to let himself be even remotely associated with the derogatory term "not repaying kindness".
But if you want to help, how? Should you just help Liu Xian settle this matter, or should you intensify efforts to suppress, clean up and adjust Nanjing officialdom - at least the general level of Nanjing officialdom? Or even simply
Should we continue to do so and take the opportunity to promote adjustments or improvements to the health center system across the country?
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and felt that it was better not to consider improving the health center system nationwide right now. Gao Gong had mentioned to him before he came out that his third uncle had a lot of big things to do at the moment.
Reforming the National Health Institute is an issue that involves too wide a scope and involves too many interests. Even if San Bo has this intention, he does not have the power now. The time is not ripe, and he cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he should wait for a while.
What about the military generals in Nanjing? Well, this is not a bad idea. Most of the honorary ministers who stayed in Nanjing are from the "founding family", usually headed by the Xu family, Duke of Wei. The ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Da, is of course a hero. Anyone who knows clearly
There were very few people in the DPRK who did not admire Xu Da.
However, in the current Ming Dynasty, after two hundred years of pig-raising style, the Xu family has no descendants who are "able to fight". It has completely turned into a parasite that attaches to the body of the Ming Dynasty, knocking bones and sucking marrow. According to Gao Pragmatic
According to the concept of reform, even if this kind of family is inconvenient to be eradicated due to historical reasons, it must be redirected and improved.
The current Nanjing garrison minister is Wei Guogong Xu Pengju. Gao Pragmatic knows something about this man. He is the seventh grandson of Xu Da, King of Wuning, Zhongshan. His grandfather Xu Di died in July of the twelfth year of Zhengde, and his father Xu Kuibi died early.
In November of the 13th year of Zhengde, Xu Pengju inherited the title of Duke of Wei from his grandfather Xu You. In the 16th year of Zhengde, he guarded Nanjing and took charge of the affairs of the Central Military Governor's Office. In August of the fourth year of Jiajing, he added the crown prince Taibao and commanded the Central Military Governor's Office.
Beginning in April of the 17th year of Jiajing, he has been serving as a garrison officer in Nanjing ever since.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of history is probably familiar with the word "Pengju": Yue Fei, also known as Pengju.
After all, the Xu family is also a family at the peak of martial arts. Even Yue Fei doesn't know about it. So why is Xu Pengju's father so ignorant that he dares to name his son Pengju?
There is a legend about this matter, saying that Xu Pengju's father, Xu Kuibi, dreamed one day that Prince Yue said to him, "I have had a hard life and was trapped by powerful traitors. In this life, I will join your family and enjoy decades of peace and wealth." It didn't take long.
, Xu Kuibi's son was born. Perhaps that dream suddenly came to Xu Kuibi's mind, and without hesitation, he named his son Pengju.
According to the original history, Xu Pengju "lived the country for fifty-seven years, served several times as the governor and the garrison of Nanjing, and received great honors." It seems that Prince Yue's wish to enjoy happiness has been achieved.
However, there is another legend circulating in Nanjing.
It is said that a few years ago, Xu Pengju was building a garden on the outskirts of Nanjing. After clearing the grass and trees, he found a bulge that looked like an ancient tomb. Xu Pengju was very unhappy and ordered people to bulldoze it. Someone around him said to him: Mr. Guo
, This is not good. Maybe it is someone else’s ancestral grave? How about we issue a notice to see if anyone comes to move it, and then we can worry about it?
Xu Pengju didn't listen, but he became even more angry when he heard it. The Duke of Wei wants to build a garden, so who cares about whose ancestral graves I have? Come on, hurry up and dig it for me!
This digging really turned out a big grave. Someone else said, "Master, this is not a good thing. Let's fill it up."
Xu Pengju "was furious again. He cut it off, and then Song Dynasty Prime Minister Qin Zhong dedicated his tomb. He was overjoyed to see it, cut open his coffin, and threw the body into the water."
It turns out that this is the tomb of Qin Hui, the traitorous minister of the Song Dynasty! Needless to say, opening the coffin and discarding the bones is what I, the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, must do!
If the matter ends here, then this matter will really be legendary: this is completely the reincarnation of King Yue to take revenge!
As the saying goes, "Qi Xianggong restored the vengeance of nine generations, which was great in the Spring and Autumn Period." Xu Pengju, the reincarnation of Yue Wumu, can definitely create a legend through this.
Isn't it amazing, simply breathtaking? Before he was born, his father dreamed of Yue Fei; when he grew up, he dug Qin Hui's grave himself.
Oops, it’s like Yue Wumu was reborn!
But wait... there's a story yet to be told.
"When he was on the defensive, there was a mutiny in the Zhenwu camp. He was called a straw bag by the chaotic soldiers and walked away in confusion, completely without the style of a famous general."
This means that when he, a distinguished garrison minister in Nanjing, encountered the mutiny in Zhenwu Camp, the rebels did not take the reincarnated Yue Fei seriously, and loudly mocked the Duke of Wei as a idiot. And the Duke of Wei did not disappoint the rebels, fully demonstrating
The style of a straw bag—escaping in embarrassment.
Together with the rebel soldiers, the dignified descendants of Xu Da and the distinguished garrison officials of Nanjing were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Well, this is really the behavior of a nameless general!
It stands to reason that his ancestor was a famous general, and his previous life was also a famous general... Regardless of his family background, or his "influence between heaven and man", he should be heroic and extraordinary, so why did he become a idiot?
If he is really the reincarnation of Yue Fei, shouldn't such an awesome person be like Huo Qubing, who entered the camp alone and suppressed the rebels as soon as his power was revealed?
This matter is very simple to explain. During the Chenghua period, Qin Hui's tomb was robbed. It is said that countless wealth was dug up at that time... Since it had been stolen long ago, how could it be dug out again?
Obviously, Xu Pengju's legends are just to build momentum for himself. In fact, this method of building momentum is not bad in this era, but it is a pity that the mud cannot hold up the wall after all.
Since Xu Pengju has nothing outstanding, Gao Jingshi feels that it is not a big problem to touch him a little. What's more, Gao Jingshi dares to think of an idea to touch this dignified Wei Guogong, Nanjing garrison minister, except that this guy is a waste
