Li Chengliang sent his younger brother Li Chengcai to personally escort Li Rugui to Gaizhou. When they left Liaoyang, someone had already traveled all the way to deliver news to Gao pragmatism, so Gao pragmatism was not surprised at all by Li Chengcai's visit.
Gao Pangshi was a little surprised. First, Li Chengliang gave in decisively this time, which seemed to be quite different from the rumored image of him being domineering in Liaodong. Second, Fang Zhan, the Prime Minister of Yuanmasi Temple who was born in Juren, seemed to choose easily.
Speak for Li Chengliang, I'm afraid there are some reasons here.
Fang Zhan's matter is a trivial matter. Whether he is afraid of Li Chengliang's deep-rooted power in Liaodong, or accepts bribes from Li Chengliang, or both, it doesn't matter in Gao Pragmatic's view.
People who are idle officials, even his current subordinates, will not cause Gao Pragmatic a headache.
The important thing is why Li Chengliang gave in decisively. If this matter is not clarified, it will be difficult to carry out subsequent plans.
Li Chengliang is a veteran who knows the officialdom well. There is no doubt about this. After all, he is still a "sheng" at the age of forty, working hard at the local grassroots level. Not only does he have to face various injustices from time to time, he even has to smile at these injustices.
Yes, this is certainly a misfortune that many people throughout the ages cannot avoid, but on the other hand, it can also cultivate a person's character.
Therefore, even if Li Chengliang later became prosperous and became domineering, his city will not disappear. When the environment changes, the objects change, and he needs to take out the city again, he can still easily use it.
Generally speaking, there are only two types of giving in. One is knowing that you will definitely lose. Instead of trying your best and only losing completely, it is better to give in and lose half of it. Keeping half does not count.
Too bad.
Another situation is to avoid its sharp edges for the sake of the future.
Gao pragmatic originally thought that Li Chengliang should not dare to play this "for the future" with Gao, after all, judging from the current situation, even a fool can see the emperor's ardent expectations for him:
He won the first prize among the six titles, and the emperor gave him a separate monument and an imperial elixir, praising him as "the real leader for two hundred years";
When patrolling Guangxi, the emperor allowed him to lead the chieftains to send troops to Annan in his own name. After Annan was captured, his treatment of Annan was almost entirely in accordance with his wishes;
Not long after returning to the center, he coordinated almost the entire Jiubian Army Town to launch the Monan War as a full-power imperial envoy. In fact, if such a thing is to be done, it should usually be given the title of "Jinglue", such as "Ping-Mongolia Jinglue"
" and so on. The reason why we can only be given a full-power imperial envoy may not be visible beforehand, but it will definitely be obvious afterward: it is simply because Gao Pragmatic's identity and qualifications are obviously not enough for the "manager" level;
Shortly after returning from the victory in the Monan War, the emperor left the capital in person and went to see Xinzhai in a pragmatic courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing to celebrate his birthday. Needless to say, he was the only one in the world to be favored.
When he was appointed to Liaodong, he was given another temporary favor before leaving the city. Not only was he able to serve the python at a young age, but he was also granted the title of "Annan and Dingbei" to Chen Han - usually those who were bestowed upon Chen Han were usually cabinet ministers, at least
He is a Jiu Qing, but what about Gao Pragmatism? Speaking of which, he is nothing more than a soldier.
With such a holy family, who dares to compete with him in the future? This is the future of the pavilion elder!
Nowadays, when officials from both the government and the public talk about this in their free time, they just make bets with each other on which year Gao Pragmatic will be able to join the cabinet. But no one really thinks that he will not be able to join the cabinet!
Scientific research, holy family, and meritorious deeds, he lacks none of them! Even because of his works such as "Longwen Whip Shadow" and events such as handing out 300,000 yuan to help refugees in the past, his reputation among the people is also extremely good.
The four-in-one, almost perfect performance, isn’t it a sure thing to join the cabinet?
What he lacks now is probably his qualifications.
Once Gao Pragmatic enters the cabinet, Li Chengliang will not have the chance to "take advantage of the future" according to the current situation where the civil servants are overwhelming the military ministers.
Li Chengliang will be sixty years old in three years. How many years of fighting life will he have left? After him, it will be difficult for the Tieling Li family to maintain the current situation - this is because of Li Rusong, the second-generation eldest brother of the Li family.
This time in the Monan battle, he also achieved great success in killing the enemy chieftain.
So how can he compare his future with Gao Pingshi? Even Li Rusong can't compare. Isn't Li Rusong not a military minister?
What's the matter, under the current national conditions, can any military minister be superior to the senior minister? Don't be kidding, the prince only dares to call himself Xiao Wang in front of his ministers. If you are a noble in your family, even if you become the world leader in the end,
The prince is just an uncle, so he must be respectful in front of his ministers!
But the truth is this, Gao Pragmatic always feels that Li Chengliang will not give in so easily.
Before Gao Pragmatic left the capital this time, he had received news from Zhang Siwei and Wu Dui that the rewards for the military exploits in the Monan War would be given to the generals soon after the rewards for the soldiers. This reward will be given to him soon.
It will be very "grand" and will definitely cause changes in the strength of some generals.
The news Gao Jingshi got here alone is already very extraordinary. For example, Ma Gui, who is following Gao Jingshi, will be directly promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief this time; his nephew Ma Chengxun fought brilliantly in that battle, and he will also be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief.
Li Chengliang and his son were promoted to deputy commander-in-chief; Li Chengliang and his son each achieved great success in beheading the enemy chief. It is likely that Li Chengliang was promoted from deputy general Ning Yuanbo to noble commander Ning Yuanbo, while Li Rusong was directly promoted from deputy general of the Shenji Battalion to commander-in-chief...
There is also Qi Jiguang. It is reported that he may also be granted a title, but it is still unclear whether he will be a knight or a knight. Gao Pragmatic estimates that the emperor may have to wait and see if Daning City can be stabilized before making a decision.
The remaining people, such as Zhang Bingzhong, Zhang Wanbang and his son, all have their own rewards. Most of them are promoted to one rank. It seems that Zhang Wanbang is even going to be promoted to two ranks.
In short, the imperial court "fully affirmed" the significance of the Monan War, so the reward was generous.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Let’s not talk about other things here, but one thing must be said. After this reward, there were two generals in the Ming Dynasty who each had two living generals -
—Dong, Li, and Xima are all the second-in-command soldiers.
However, Dong Li still beats Xi Ma. In addition to two general soldiers, his family is very likely to get Spyker. This is a qualitative improvement. From now on, he will "live with the country"!
Resting with the country? Gao pragmatic thought of this and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is it possible that Li Chengliang is planning this?
Although the old minister of the cabinet has a high and powerful position, after all, civil servants cannot be hereditary. Civil servants are all passed the imperial examination. No matter how powerful he is, he can only guarantee his own generation. Even if he has the power to dominate the world, when he becomes an official
Or he died of illness, so he left and the tea was cool.
What's more, the battle between the Practical School and the Heart School is still going on. Although it doesn't seem fierce, it has never stopped. Who knows when the west wind will overwhelm the east wind, and when the east wind will overwhelm the west wind? Maybe one day the situation will be different.
After such a big change, Gao Pragmatic was dismissed from office and returned home before he died? At least Li Chengliang might think so.
Well, this is also the reason why he has been reluctant to choose a side, right?
However, at that time, the Li family of Tieling was already a distinguished noble of the country and had retired from the country. In addition, among the children of the family was Li Rusong, who was capable of fighting. When the Gao family lost power or the youth failed to take over, wouldn't the Li family be able to turn around and take revenge?
At least now it seems that apart from Gao Pragmatic, no one in the Gao family seems to be able to win another Jinshi.
Haha... This guy Li Chengliang is really far-sighted in his calculations.
However, you didn't hesitate to hold back for so long, but you also wanted to stabilize me temporarily. Can't you see that it's a bit strange?
If the bottom of your butt is really clean, why should you be afraid of me?
It doesn’t matter, you can act, and I can too, so I’ll just play with you.
Gao Pangshi, who was sitting in the main seat of the flower hall, was smiling slightly when a servant came in, cupped his fist at him and said, "Master, we are here."
Gao pragmatic came back to his senses and said calmly: "Please."
