Chapter 143 New Zheng and New Deal (Part 2) sodu777.net
The meeting in the small meeting hall of the Ministry of Household Affairs was not open to the public, and even the secretary (from Jiupin) who usually acted as the "secretary" was not allowed to attend. It was a completely closed-door meeting. In other words, unless today
The three Hubu Tang officials who attended the meeting themselves leaked secrets, otherwise it would be impossible for the outside world to know the contents of the meeting.
Such a level of secrecy has disappointed many people who had already planned to "find out" about Gao Pragmatic's movements. Fortunately, more than one family came to find out the news. Since everyone has returned disappointed now, comparatively speaking,
Not so disappointed anymore.
However, the uncertainty about Gao's pragmatic trends still makes many people uneasy, and the atmosphere in the officialdom of the capital is always vaguely depressing.
The chief minister of the cabinet, Shen Shixing, felt a little uneasy today. Although he tried his best to maintain his prime ministerial demeanor and make himself look the same as usual. However, the cabinet room was still extremely quiet, let alone the ordinary assistants.
Even the Guanzheng Jinshis were cautious and cautious, not even daring to take a breath for fear of disturbing the seemingly normal man, Yuan Fu, who was actually distracted.
"Bo Xiu, how long does it take for Wang Taicang to arrive in Beijing?" Shen Shixing, who was sitting on the Taishi chair and pretending to read the memorial seriously for a while, suddenly couldn't help but ask a Jinshi Guanzheng who was on duty.
The Guanzheng Jinshi known as Bo Xiu was quite young. He looked only a little two or three years older than Gao Xiu, certainly not in his thirties. He was proud of himself and refused to let anyone else.
Unlike other Jinshi who viewed politics, he was not too timid. Hearing Shen Shixing's question, he calmly replied: "Yesterday, Yuan Fu asked the students about 'it will take more than ten days.'
One day, when Yuanfu asked again, the student had no choice but to say, 'It will take more than ten days.'"
Shen Shixing frowned when he heard this, but he knew that the "Bo Xiu" in front of him was quite famous among the scholars. The entrance examination was early, so it was inevitable that he would be young and energetic. For the sake of being a junior on the Nandang list, Shen Shixing
I usually don't bother to care about the occasional conflicts in his words.
"Haha, it's the Prime Minister of this Pavilion. Thank you Bo Xiu for reminding me." After all, Shen Shixing is the prime minister and an important minister, and he doesn't intend to say anything else.
However, "Bo Xiu" seemed to have more to say, and continued after hearing the words: "This is the foot of the emperor after all. Although Gao Situ's soldiers are strong, Yuan Fu does not have to be so lost."
The habitual smile on Shen Shixing's face froze, and he couldn't help frowning: "What does Bo Xiu mean by this? How come this department has lost its soul?"
Na Boxiu smiled, pointed at the memorial on Shen Shixing's desk, and said: "Yuanfu, you read the memorial upside down for a long time, but I don't know what the deep meaning is in it? If not, what is this if it is not a loss of soul?"
"
Shen Shixing lowered his head sharply, only to find that the memorial on his desk was actually upside down. He couldn't help but blush, secretly cursing himself that he had really lost the city this time and made such a joke. But soon, he faced the person in front of him again.
A Guanzheng Jinshi named Boxiu was extremely dissatisfied - you are so outspoken and have no official position. I think you should not be called Boxiu, but Dezu!
De Zuzhe is also named Yang Xiu.
However, although Shen Shixing was angry, he was the chief minister of the cabinet and a senior scholar after all, so he could not get angry on the spot. He just showed his usual look, laughed at himself, and sighed: "Boxiu has good eyesight, but this cabinet department is too worried. So,
As for that."
Na Boxiu was a straight man, and when he saw that Shen Shixing was not upset, but seemed willing to consult him for details, he asked: "If Yuan Fu does not give up, the student is willing to listen to Yuan Fu's concerns."
Shen Shixing was even more unhappy and thought to himself: This son is wild and rebellious. If this becomes his nature, he may have no hope of an official career in the future and will have no choice but to become a hermit in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
With this view, Shen Shixing almost lost all desire to win over him and said calmly: "It's not a big deal."
"Hahahahaha!" Boxiu laughed and said, "It's not a big deal, but Yuan Fu actually upholds Shu Wen. If this is spread, I'm afraid the world will laugh at him."
No matter how good-tempered Shen Shixing was, he couldn't bear it anymore. He put away the last trace of his smile and said in a stiff tone: "In the past, Li Shilu thought he was an old woman, and no one in the world laughed at him. I am worried about the government, and everyone in the world laughs at me alone.
?”
Li Shilu was the former chief assistant Li Chunfang. The incident of "self-identifying as an old woman" originally started because of Hai Rui. At that time, Hai Rui was engaged in Xu Jie in Yingtian, which could hardly be brought to an end, so Gao Gong made the decision to transfer Hai Rui to Nanjing.
.
This matter was originally Zhang Juzheng's taking the teacher's money. After interceding in front of Gao Gong, Gao Gong considered the principle of "being an official is to do things" and believed that since Xu Jie had surrendered, there should be no major obstacles to his own ideas.
, so I agreed.
In the end, all other aspects of the matter were fine, except that Hai Rui was a bit unconsidered - Hai Rui was scolding people.
This sparse scolding is more severe than "It has been a long time since the people of the world have been loyal to Your Majesty", because he scolded in the sparse: "All the officials in the court are women!"
This is so awesome, all the princes in the court were beaten into women by just one word from Hai Gangfeng.
Gao Gong was the second assistant in the cabinet at that time. After reading this memorial, his face turned black with anger. Naturally, the other cabinet elders also had a bad look on their faces. However, although Gao Gong had a bad temper, he still adhered to the "principle" in the end. This principle is
——In this case, it is still necessary for the first assistant to express his position first.
As a result, Li Chunfang smiled, laughed at herself, and said: "Haha, since we are all women, then I must be an old woman."
These words are even more "awesome" than Hai Rui's, and he, the most dignified chief assistant, actually admits it like this.
Although Gao Gong and others were shocked at the time, since the chief minister did not pursue the matter, they naturally had no choice but to endure it.
This incident was actually ridiculed by some people at the time, because from Yan Song to Xu Jie, the power of the cabinet was extremely important, completely overwhelming the six ministries. Li Chunfang, who was the chief minister of the cabinet, was so "self-defeating" that he was naturally criticized.
Ridiculed as having no power.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, things reversed quite quickly. After Li Chunfang resigned and returned to his hometown, many people were not used to Gao Gong's strength, especially Gao Gong's teaching method.
(Proposed and implemented before Zhang Juzheng's examination in original history) has simply become a curse for many officials.
Suddenly, many people began to miss the good old chief minister Li Chunfang, and this incident was also said to be Li Chunfang's magnanimity that "the prime minister's belly can hold a boat." Shen Shixing took Li Chunfang as an example at this time, which was an analogy to Li Chunfang.
What he means is that he is not the kind of person who takes advantage of power.
It’s hard to say whether Boxiu understood the underlying meaning of Shen Shixing’s words. Anyway, Boxiu replied: “Li Wending (Note: Li Chunfang died in the twelfth year of Wanli, posthumous title Wending.) is loyal and sincere but can forgive, and is respectful to bandits.
He deserves to be called the "Prime Minister of Taiping". However, when Gao Wenzheng was determined and determined, he came back to Ji Ting and shouldered the great responsibilities without hesitation. He not only replaced Li Wending and ruled the world, but also ended up with the posthumous title of Wenzhengji. Why did Yuan Fu take his own life?
Better than Li Wending but not Gao Wenzheng?"
Shen Shixing narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a neutral tone: "It seems that Bo Xiu was selected as a Jinshi a little early. If it had been a few years later, when Gao Qiuzhen had entered the cabinet, you would have gone to him to observe the government, and you would have agreed with him.
."
Unexpectedly, Na Boxiu also shook his head: "I disdain him for being a man of high pursuit of truth and not being upright in literature."
Shen Shixing was quite surprised and thought to himself: Then you are really capable. After you have hated me, you also dare to hate Gao Pragmatic. Is this the court? You may not want to stay anymore?
When Bo Xiu saw that Shen Shixing was silent, he was not polite and thought to himself: "Gao Qiuzhen is famous all over the world for being the number one scholar in six poems. Who would have expected that he has no good works handed down since then. He spends his days either doing low-level business or engaging in military killings. Isn't that right?"
Can he set an example for Wen Lin? And from the perspective of students, this person is too ingenious and has a deeper scheming. In order to gain the favor of the Holy Father, he does not hesitate to deceive Your Majesty to abuse people's power, steal people's wealth, and perform such great achievements. This is really not the right way."
Shen Shixing couldn't help being surprised, thought for a while, and asked: "Although your words are a bit harsh, they are not without reason. But what I want to know more is why you said that he tempted His Majesty to abuse the people's power, cleverly
Why is it said that he wants to perform a great and joyful deed when he takes people's wealth?"
If Gao Pingzhen is here, he must know why this "Bo Xiu" thinks so of him.
In fact, this "Bo Xiu" and Gao Pragmatic had "three different views".
Boxiu was his given name, his nickname was Yupan, and also his nickname was Shipu. He was a member of the Hubei Public Security Bureau, and his real name was Yuan Zongdao.
Although when people named Yuan were mentioned in the late Ming Dynasty, most people would probably think of Yuan Chonghuan first, but Yuan Zongdao had nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan. This man's reputation was not in the officialdom, but in Wenlin.
Yuan Zongdao was born on February 16, the 39th year of Jiajing, in Chang'anli, Gong'an County, Huguang. In the 14th year of Wanli, he ranked first in the rites examination and won the first place in the imperial examination. The following year is this year.
He was awarded a noble title, served as editor of the Hanlin Academy, directly joined the cabinet to observe government affairs, and was "assigned" to the chief minister Shen Shixing. It can be said that his future is promising.
Guanzheng, to a certain extent, is an internship, and Guanzheng Jinshi is to some extent similar to the leadership secretary of later generations, which is incredible.
As we all know, "Those around the leader should be treated as leaders." Because many times it is not easy to see the leader. You can only see the secretary next to him. Is the secretary's words and deeds his own intention, or is it the leader's instruction?
, others don’t know. If you don’t know, then you can only treat it as the leader’s intention. Otherwise, what should you do if something goes wrong?
One of the worst things in officialdom is not being able to understand the leader's intentions, so the status of "secretary" has always been directly linked to the status of the leader.
Since Yuan Zongdao can watch politics beside Shen Shixing, his position is certainly very unique. Although he has not been here for a long time, many people outside are already optimistic about his future. However, what I want to talk about here is why Yuan Zongdao can come.
Worked as a "secretary" for Shen Shixing.
There are two reasons: First, he is the first in the second class. Since the destination of the third class of the first class is clear, they all stay directly in the Hanlin Academy. Usually they will be assigned things to do as soon as they enter, so the third class
They rarely came to the cabinet to observe government affairs, so the concubines who were ranked first in the second class became the first choice to observe the government. As Yuan Zongdao was the first in the second class, it was reasonable and reasonable to "assign" him to Shen Shixing.
The second is Yuan Zongdao’s status in Wenlin. Although Yuan Zongdao is still less than thirty years old this year, his status in Wenlin is quite high. The reason may be that he is relatively unique: at a time when the retro school was at its peak
, he singled out Bai Juyi and Su Shi to become one of the representatives of the Public Security Faction.
The Gong'an School was a literary school that emerged in the late Ming Dynasty. The "Gong'an Three Yuans" were the leaders of the Gong'an School. In the eyes of later generations, Yuan Hongdao had the highest reputation and greatest achievements, followed by Yuan Zhongdao, and Yuan Zongdao followed.
But that is something to say later, it is the evaluation of future generations. In this year - the fifteenth year of Wanli, Yuan Zongdao's reputation is the greatest among the three brothers. Not only because he is the eldest brother among the three Yuans, but also one of the brothers.
The first Jinshi among them.
Yuan Hongdao, the most famous person in later generations, had to wait until the 19th year of Wanli to pass the Jinshi examination, and Yuan Zhongdao's path to the Jinshi was even more bumpy. He did not pass the examination until the 44th year of Wanli, and Yuan Zongdao had already been dead for 18 years at that time.
——Yuan Zongdao died very early, suddenly in the 28th year of Wanli. It is said that he "died of exhaustion" at the age of only 40. This may also be one of the reasons why his reputation in later generations was not as good as that of his two brothers.
The Gong'an School is a literary school represented by the three Yuan brothers during the Wanli Period in history. It is also named because the three were from the Hubei Public Security Bureau. The leaders of this school include Zeng Keqian, editor of the Hanlin Academy, Jiang Yingke, Tao Wangling, Huang Hui, etc.
people.
Since Hongzhi, the literary world of the Ming Dynasty has been dominated by the "First Seven Sons" headed by Li Mengyang and He Jingming, and the "Later Seven Sons" headed by Wang Shizhen and Li Panlong. They advocated that "literature must be compared with Qin and Han Dynasties, poetry must be prosperous in Tang Dynasty", and "Dali Dynasty"
The retro argument that "you should not read books from now on" had such a great influence that "the world regards Li, He, Wang and Li as the four great masters, and everyone strives to imitate their style."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! During this period, although Gui Youguang and other "Tang and Song School" writers rose up to fight, it was not enough to correct their abuses. The "heretical thinker" Li Zhi tit for tat proposed "Why should poetry be selected from ancient times"
"Why does literature need to be pre-Qin?" and "Articles cannot be obtained but the time and situation can be discussed first" are also inspiring. He, Jiao Hong, Xu Wei and others actually became the forerunners of the Gong'an School.
Originally, the trend of the literary world was relatively fickle. After Gao Qiuzhen became famous all over the world, many people thought that he would bring about a change in literary style. Who knew that Gao Qiuzhen had no interest in this? That is what Yuan Zongdao said just now: "Gao Qiuzhen is famous for his six number one poems."
, who would have expected that no masterpieces would be handed down to the world after that.”
Since Gao Pragmatism, who had the greatest hope of changing the ancient style of the Seven Masters before and after, was too lazy to interfere, Yuan Zongdao's opportunity naturally came. (Note: The focus of this book is not on literary history, so I am too lazy to analyze it here.)
Although he gained a lot of fame by criticizing the first seven sons (there is not much criticism of the latter seven sons at present), as the saying goes, "There is no second in martial arts, no first in literature", Yuan Zongdao's pragmatic attitude towards Gao Zongdao is really not much better
, believes that Gao Pragmatic's contribution to the literary world is insignificant - but he has written some elementary school readings, how can he be regarded as a great talent?
He loved the house and the crow, and hated the house and the crow. This feeling made him dissatisfied with Gao pragmatic's daily behavior. He believed that Gao pragmatic's personal involvement in business was competing for profits with the people, and instigating the emperor to send troops to Burma and other places was a misuse of people's power.
Commercial taxes also drained the people's wealth, and the Monan War and even the national policy of controlling the West and Huaidong were great achievements.
He told Shen Shixing these words unabashedly, and Shen Yuanfu realized that although this son was insincere, he could still be regarded as "one of his own" in terms of ideology, and he couldn't help but feel his anger towards him just now.
Abandoned.
Shen Shixing smiled and encouraged: "Boxiu is indeed insightful, but now that practical learning is in power, the emperor also...well, I also want to fulfill the wishes of my second ancestors. Although I am worried, I still don't know where to start. Just now
...You saw it too."
Yuan Zongdao raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you want to criticize an article, the article must be written first, otherwise how can you criticize? If you want to criticize someone, you must first do something about it. If there is nothing to do, there will be no harm, so how can you criticize it?"
Shen Shixing's eyes flashed and he pondered: "You mean...just wait and see what happens?"
Yuan Zongdao smiled and said: "The reason why Uncle Xinzheng has the momentum it has today is nothing more than the New Deal. Since it is the New Deal, it means changing the old laws. If you change the old rules, someone will be hurt. Although the hurt is painful, why can't you empathize with it if it's not painful?
, how do you know that Yuanfu is virtuous? Therefore, why should Yuanfu worry about Xinzheng’s new policy? According to students, if Xinzheng does not come up with a new policy, it may be able to maintain its current power. Once the new policy is introduced, it will be the beginning of its downfall!”
