In these struggles in Beijing, Gao Pragmatic basically did not get involved except to defend himself as usual, because at present, the Pragmatic School still has certain advantages at the central level, and he himself did not cause any serious damage.
As a result, the political battle cannot be lost.
What's more, he still has someone in the palace who knows the truth.
In the last "Tuberculosis Prince Consort" incident, although Gao Pragmatic failed to really save the poor Princess Yongning in the end, he took this opportunity to overturn Empress Dowager Li's meddling in the government.
Help Zhu Yijun regain the power of the government in one fell swoop, and truly become the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty who rules over the world.
How much credit is this? If I had to make an analogy, I am afraid it is no more than the merit of supporting the establishment.
Favor is the most elusive emotion in the world, and favor debt is also the hardest to calculate and measure. Everyone's attitude toward favor is very different.
But for an emperor, he usually does not worry about too heavy a debt of gratitude, because he has too many things and can usually "pay off the debt" calmly.
At the same time, as far as Zhu Yijun is concerned, based on his performance in the original history, he is a very nostalgic and humane emperor - there is only one prerequisite, that is, he does not feel that he has been deceived by you.
Simply put, Zhu Yijun was a very emotional emperor.
When he trusts you, he can hand over all the power in the world to you; when he doesn't trust you, he won't even give you half a cent.
Historically, when he trusted Zhang Juzheng, he gave Zhang Juzheng so much power that even Zhang Juzheng himself was afraid. He once worriedly told people that now, "I am not the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister."
But once Zhu Yijun discovered that his master was different from what he was, and while he was strict with him as the emperor, he did the opposite. He suddenly felt that his three views collapsed, and all kinds of negative emotions suddenly burst out. Not only
If you insist on getting to the bottom of it, you might even want to open the coffin and kill the corpse.
(Note: Some people always say that Zhang Juzheng was whipped to death by Wanli. In fact, he was not. Let me explain it here. The record of this in "Records of Shenzong" is: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate and other yamen came to visit the old Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng, and issued an order: Zhang Juzheng slandered his vassals and invaded.
The palace of the king's tomb suppresses the officials, blocks my talents, monopolizes the power and disrupts the government, ignores the kindness of the superiors, and is disloyal to the country. It should be a coffin to kill the corpse. I hope that I can serve you for many years, but I will not be punished." This article is recorded in "Ming Dynasty".
"Records of Emperor Shenzong Xian, Volume One Hundred and Fifty-Two", the time is August of the twelfth year of Wanli.)
As for other people, it is almost the same. Zhu Yijun's idea of hiring people is actually quite consistent with the golden rule of "do not trust people when you employ them, and do not use people when you are suspicious". Whether he uses people to govern or quell chaos, he always gives power first.
, if the performance is not good at the beginning, he will not take it immediately, but will find a way to help you remove the constraints, give you full power, and then see the effect.
Usually the results obtained in this way are very good. In rare cases, if you are given full power and still perform poorly, he will not hesitate and will directly take you down, and then replace you with someone else.
However, he is still a very nostalgic person. For example, Li Chengliang's performance became worse and worse for several consecutive years after the 17th year of Wanli. After several waves of anti-Li movements were launched in the court, Zhu Yijun was already well aware of Li Chengliang's many evil deeds in Liaodong, but
It was just that Li Chengliang was asked to step down as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong and Ning Yuanbo returned to the dynasty. There was no excessive punishment.
Sometimes Gao Pragmatic can't understand why Emperor Wanli was so blackmailed in later generations.
In his personal opinion, Emperor Wanli could not be called a sage king, but he could definitely be called a wise king. It was just that he had never found a way to reverse the constant infighting among the civil servants and make the world revolve around him as the emperor.
So in the end, he could only lock himself in the palace, live in a house, and control the government affairs-but it must be said that the government affairs of the Wanli Dynasty never got out of control.
Even after the defeat of Saarhu, Emperor Wanli did not feel that nothing could be done. Instead, he responded actively and sent Xiong Tingbi to replace Yang Hao as the Liaodong manager. Xiong Tingbi actually did a pretty good job, right? It's a pity that Queen Wang died against Wanli.
The blow was too great, and he himself died soon after. Otherwise, if he had been given a few years, he might not have had the Four Great Conquests of Wanli.
By analogy, Zhu Yijun should undoubtedly believe in Gao Pragmatic's words now. It is impossible for some Liaodong Guards Station to restrict Gao Pragmatic because of the placement of 10,000 or 20,000 saltmen.
It’s totally not the style of Emperor Wanli!
And Li Chengliang seemed to be worried about this. He didn't dare to really take the lead. He only sent Feng Wenbi to make trouble, but Zhang Siwei took it down without saying a word. As soon as An Jiuyu's impeachment came up, Zhu Yijun's Zhu Pi
The announcement was made immediately after just over an hour, with only one sentence: Feng Wenbi was dismissed from his post pending investigation.
This was a very clear signal, so the opposition to the Jinghua Saltworks in the capital suddenly became much smaller, leaving only a few guys who relied on their status as censors to continue to argue about the placement of salt workers.
However, Gao pragmatically arrived in Beijing just in time, and he proposed a solution to the resettlement of salt pods: all the salt pods that the various health stations were unwilling to accept back to the guards should be taken over by the Jinghua Salt Farm, and he also requested the imperial court to transfer these salt pods together with other salt pods.
The household registration of the family members was changed from the military registration of the Wei Suo to the civilian registration of Gaizhou Wei, and they were uniformly employed by the Jinghua Salt Farm.
Now, those who oppose the Jinghua Saltworks can no longer stand up.
Superpowers are not scary, the most scary thing is the ability to make money.
As the owner of Jinghua, Gao Jingshi holds the Liaodong Salt Farm, which will have the most advanced salt production technology in the future and has sufficient location advantages. Is he still worried that it will not be able to accommodate less than 20,000 salt cubes?
Zhang Siwei felt completely at ease now. He walked proudly and proudly, and went directly to the voting table, suggesting that the emperor should do this!
Originally, he had already contacted his brother Zhang Sijiao, hinting to Zhang Sijiao that if the pragmatic side could not take over so many salt cubes, his own Changlu Saltworks would suffer some losses this time and would help him pick up half of them.
Who would have known that this nephew's courage was beyond what ordinary people could predict. Not only did he accept Yan Ding, he even accepted Yan Ding's family as well!
You must know that the number of salt cubs itself is ten thousand and seventy-eight, and according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, a family only needs to provide one salt cub, and there are usually several people in the family! According to Gao's pragmatic reception method, it is estimated that at least
It has to accept the resettlement of 40,000 to 50,000 people.
However, in this way, it was better to feel proud and proud. Zhang Siwei was still a little worried that Gao Pragmatic would be burdened with a heavy burden. When he returned to the house, he wrote a letter to him worriedly and sent it, asking if he wanted to help.
On the contrary, deep in the palace, Zhu Yijun, who had been in a bad mood for many days because of Concubine Wang Gong's stomach problem, was not worried at all. He even smiled at the new chief eunuch Huang Mengyu who came to deliver the memorial to him and said with a smile: "There are some people outside.
It's just that they are not good at learning. I'm sure that these people must be pragmatic and not just for making salt. They must have other corresponding arrangements. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
Huang Mengyu smiled apologetically and said: "The person who knows the emperor best in the world is none other than Gao Shidu; the person who knows the most knowledgeable readers in the world is none other than the emperor... Of course I believe it."
"It's enough to have a confidant in life." After hearing this, Zhu Yijun burst out laughing and was actually quite proud.
