"In the final analysis, there is only one thing that Yan Shifan can do: he is good at figuring out the thoughts of Shimiao. Everything he has is based on this ability. Yan Song's mind was slow in the next few years and he could no longer cope with the changes in Shimiao, but he could still
The only reason he won the holy favor was Yan Shifan's ability.
It's a pity that when Yan Shifan and Ding You return to his hometown, Yan Song's defeat is inevitable. However, Yan Shifan's buttocks are extremely dirty. After Yan Song's downfall, there is only one way to be destroyed."
Li Chengcai sighed and continued: "But the Gao family and the Yan family are very different. When the Yan family and his son were in power, everyone in the world, except the Yan Party, wanted to kill these two thieves.
Why is this? Because everyone in the world knows that the Yan Party is a traitorous party, and those who are friends with it must be traitors; those who are enemies with it must be loyal and good! Therefore, the Yan family has a bad reputation. Once the wall falls, everyone will reject it.
.
The Gao family is much smarter than the Yan family. It is clear that Gao Xinzheng also relied on the favor of the Mu Temple to rise to power in the past, but he is not like Yan Song, who only cares about taking power and making money for himself. His father even heard that he had been an official for decades.
, he never added a foot of land to his hometown in Xinzheng, so even when he was in power, he always tampered with the ancestral system, but those who opposed him could never find any practical reasons. They could only say that he was a stubborn man of the Ming Dynasty.
, that won’t sway him.
Therefore, here is the first reason why Gao Pragmatism is far more dangerous than Yan Shifan: Yan Song was defeated without a burial, and Gao Gongji was given the posthumous title Wenzheng. Anyone who wants to touch Gao Pragmatism must understand one thing first, that is, according to the habits of my Ming Dynasty,
There was a Wen Zhenggong in his family. Gao Pragmatic almost had an ironclad immunity from death. No matter how serious a crime he committed, if he brought trouble to the emperor, the emperor would still have to give the word "Wen Zheng" face, so he could only give a light sentence to avoid the crime.
It chilled the hearts of civil servants and officials all over the world."
Li Rugui had been silent before, but his eyes lit up when he heard this: "This Wen Zheng is so powerful? Does our family have one?"
His father Li Chengcai's eyesight dimmed, his face turned even darker, and he reprimanded: "Ignorant and ignorant!"
Who would have thought that Li Rugui didn't know what the problem was yet, and looked eagerly at Li Chengliang.
Li Chengliang was also so angry at his nephew that he laughed and cursed: "What are you looking at? Even if I conquer all of Mongolia, your uncle will still be a 'loyal warrior'. Wen Zheng is the most posthumous title for a civil servant!"
China's posthumous title system has developed and changed. In the period when "Wenzheng" was the most beautiful posthumous title for civil servants, the first most beautiful posthumous title for military generals has also come out, which is "Zhongwu".
It is difficult to verify who was the first person to be given the posthumous title of Zhongwu. However, the reason why the posthumous title of Zhongwu was so high is actually because it was Zhuge Liang’s posthumous title. When Zhuge Liang was infinitely elevated by his descendants,
This posthumous title became a symbol that a general would only dream of during his lifetime and would be extremely honored after his death.
Later, people such as Wang Meng, Yu Chigong, Guo Ziyi, etc. were all given the posthumous title of "Zhongwu". In the Song Dynasty, four heroes received this posthumous title. Two of them were the famous four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, but they were all
Posthumous title.
One is Han Shizhong, who captured Fang La alive, used various tricks to fight against Xixia and the Jin Kingdom, and gained a great reputation. However, this posthumous title was given a posthumous title by Song Xiaozong more than 20 years after his death.
The other one is the great national hero Yue Fei. Needless to say Yue Fei’s outstanding deeds. After he was victimized on “unfounded” charges, he was rehabilitated during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty. He was given the posthumous title of “Wu Mu”, which is also the most popular name among later generations.
He heard it, but in fact this posthumous title was only ranked third among the posthumous titles of military generals and was not prominent enough. Therefore, during the Lizong period of Song Dynasty, the posthumous title was once again "Zhongwu" and he was finally given the posthumous title he deserved most.
There were also six "loyal warriors" in the Ming Dynasty, namely Chang Yuchun, Zhang Yu, Xue Lu, Guo Deng, Zhou Yuji, Zhang Qingzhen. Chang Yuchun needs no introduction. Zhang Yu was the first contributor to Jingnan, as Xue Lu mentioned earlier (
In the first volume of this book), he is the third hero of Jingnan. The remaining three have nothing to do with this book, so I won’t mention them now.
But there seems to be an accident here. Xu Da is not on the list?
Xu Da's posthumous title is Wu Ning, which is actually the top posthumous title for a military general, but there is a situation to be explained here.
In addition to civil and military posthumous names, there is another posthumous title called Tong. "Zhongwu" was actually originally a posthumous title. However, later generations increasingly like to regard Zhongwu as the most beautiful posthumous title for military commanders, which actually overwhelms the posthumous title that should be associated with "Wen".
The posthumous title that begins with the word "武" corresponds to the posthumous title that begins with the word "武", so it is not that Xu Da was incompetent or that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately suppressed him, but that the starting point at that time was different and cannot be simply compared.
Judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of Xu Da after his death, he ranked Xu Da first among military generals: "The general's courage is unparalleled, so he can curb chaos and defeat the heroes. He goes out after orders, succeeds, and is not shy.
If you do not attack, you will have no women to love, no treasures to take, you will be upright and flawless, as bright as the sun and the moon, and you will be a great general. He will defeat the barbarians, and his merits will be the best among all ancient and modern people. If you become a general and become a prime minister, you will be unparalleled in both civil and military talents.
"
When Li Rugui heard that not only did he not have "Wen Zheng", but he even had no hope, he couldn't help but feel extremely depressed and disappointed. He was so angry that Li Chengliang wished he could go up and slap him again. In the end, he still wanted to save his brother's face.
I forced myself to hold back.
Li Chengcai was also afraid that his son's stupidity would make his elder brother angry again, so he quickly took over the conversation and changed the topic back: "In addition to Yu Yin's protection, there is another difference between the two of them: Yan Shifan himself has no relationship with Shimiao, and he has no relationship with Mu
Not to mention the temple. Gao Pingshi was highly praised by the temple in the past, and he and I have been classmates for ten years... My father did not dare to guess how good the friendship between them was, but he said that he
I'm afraid there's nothing wrong with him being the number one person in the emperor's heart."
Li Rugui said in astonishment: "If he is so favored, why is he just a soldier?"
Seeing that his son had no official knowledge at all, Li Chengcai couldn't help but sigh and said: "He is a scholar and has been working in the Hanlin Academy for a while. Is it possible to join the cabinet? In fact, he can. But he is just a
He has been on the gold list for the eighth year of Wanli, and he is allowed to join the cabinet in the tenth year of Wanli? Jiuqing, who agreed during the recommendation, is not afraid of being poked in the back after he leaves, saying that he is bent on flattery? "
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, Li Rugui finally had some common sense and said: "But the emperor can give special orders?"
"Haha, this is where Gao pragmatism surpasses Yan Shifan." Li Chengcai said: "Yan Shifan has no shame in doing things, but Gao pragmatism takes face very seriously - the importance of face, as a father just now
I've already said it, you won't just forget it if you turn your back, right?"
Oh, that's not the case. Li Rugui understood this truth just now. The so-called importance of face is nothing more than saying that everyone in the Yan family yells at the rat crossing the street, while Gao Jiawen is upright and protects his body from all evil.
Li Rugui suddenly thought of a question and hesitated: "Gao Pragmatic's face seems good, but the face of our Tieling Li family is not bad either? The founding of the People's Republic of China was difficult to come by, and the uncle (Beijing, Tianjin, and Northeast China use the word uncle as uncle)
) Isn’t it the best in Bian Gong?”
Hey, you know how to draw inferences from one instance? Is there any help?
But Li Chengliang's face turned even more disgusting, and he said dullly: "Your uncle, I am a military minister! What's more, he is not only a civil servant, but also a 'nannan dingbei'!"
Li Chengcai sighed: "There is a more important issue right now. The emperor suddenly sent Gao Pragmatic to Liaodong with unknown intentions. My father and your uncle have been discussing it for a long time and are very worried that his purpose in coming to Liaodong is not simple.
Maybe it’s to find out how my Li family can support so many servants, there are some things in this... that are not allowed to be known to outsiders."
Li Rugui was shocked and said hurriedly: "Then what should I do? He is so hard-pressed in the background. I'm afraid it won't work. Can I spend money to eliminate the disaster?"
Li Chengliang laughed angrily on the side: "Spend money to eliminate disasters? Who is richer than Gao Xiang! I'm afraid the Ministry of Household Affairs doesn't have as much money as him!"
Li Rugui was stunned: "Is this... so rich?"
Li Chengcai sighed: "Now you know why your uncle finds it difficult? Now that you are disrespectful to Gao Pragmatic, I am afraid that he will use it as an excuse to target our Li family, so I let..."
As soon as he said this, there was suddenly a noise outside.
Li Chengliang was in a bad mood. He was furious and shouted: "What's the fuss about? Are the Tumen here?"
Who would have thought that after a moment of silence outside, a voice suddenly came, saying politely: "Reporting to Uncle Ning Yuan, Gao Bingxian of Liaonan has issued the cards here, and he has taken Li Rugui, commander of Fuzhou Guards, to Gaizhou Bingxian Yamen for questioning.
