Chapter 837 Longqing New Deal (1)

.

After listening to the silent declaration that was almost arrogant, Gao Yi said with concern, "As the change of status and power, people will change. Besides, this Duke Xinzheng is quite impatient and unable to accommodate things. Although you have given him great help during this period, you will not always tie your hands and feet."

"Haha..." Chen Si pinched the small teacup with a thin celadon and sipped it lightly; "Sir, I misunderstood. I have never been a person who holds my own favor. I said that Gao Xinzheng's power comes from the emperor and me, not to boast about how powerful he is, but to tell a fact."

"Is this different..." Gao Yi smiled bitterly.

"Different." Chen Jing shook his head, "How much power a person has is not a matter of authority, but a matter of how big he can do. Why can Gao Gong sweep away thousands of troops? It depends on the holy family... I have this thing, not much less than him. Gao Gong must seize the day to break the old and new things. Such an offensive job must be firmly on his side, so there will be no conflict with me... This is a question of whether to do addition or subtraction, Gao Gong can calculate it clearly."

‘So that’s it…’ Gao Yi nodded and thought to himself, but he still had a choice, which was to drive you away.

"As long as Gao Gong is not confused, he will not know how much help he has an ally like me to reform." As if he saw Gao Yi's thoughts, he said in silence; "If he doesn't want to fall into a bloody battle with the opposition, he must rely on me to suppress him."

Gao Yi was silent. He knew that silent was qualified to say such things. Since the other party was confident in facing future problems, he no longer spoke too much and smiled, "It's just that I'm inferior to you."

"The second assistant to the cabinet of thirty-two years old," said silently. "This is also a grievance. Wouldn't everyone in the world call me pretentious?"

"That's right..." Gao Yi smiled bitterly, "But who is still talking about your age now?"

"I'm not afraid of them talking about it." Chen Si said lightly; "When it comes to age, Gao Xinzheng is a chicken, and so is me. He is older than me... "

Although he didn't continue, Gao Yi could understand, yes. The two were twenty-four years apart, a whole generation. They could wait silently, and there was no need for Gao Gong to regard him as his opponent. So he nodded and said, "It would be no benefit to sit in that position early."

"I won't say that far away." Silent waved his hand; "It's better to focus on now."

"Yes." Gao Yi asked softly, "In your opinion, if Gao Xinzheng is the prime minister, will the cabinet be peaceful in the future?"

"He's so bad temper..." Chen Si smiled bitterly; "It's weird if you don't go all day long." Seeing Gao Yi's face turned pale, he smiled silently; "But don't worry, even if you make trouble in the future, you will only make trouble in the cabinet and not affect the court." He said in a low voice, "Gei-Lady Xu, Ge-Her Zhao has gone, who else is his opponent in the world?"

"Yes." Gao Yi had a long judgment, but he didn't say it from silent mouth. He was always uneasy and smiled. "It seems that the previous battles were not useless."

"Yeah." Nodded silently, "At least there are fewer different voices in the cabinet..." Think about it, "Now there are four of us now, so I guess there will be another Zhang Siwei, but he has always been gentle and I will not be able to find awkwardness with Gao Xinzheng."

"What would Zhang Taiyue have?" Gao Yi asked. Although Zhang Juzheng is very low-key now, once Zhao Zhenji leaves, he becomes Xu's representative in the court. If he continues to oppose Gao Gong, it will be a problem.

"He and Gao Xinzheng are also a friend. They can't sing the opposite..." Silently lowered their eyelids and said. At this point, if there is anything he can't get right, it's not Gao Gong who is ignorant but full of ambitions, but Zhang Juzheng, a former friend and today's stranger.

Regarding Zhang Juzheng, the silent mood was very complicated. On the one hand, the two were like-minded friends. They took the world as their own responsibility and had promised each other. However, when they reached the peak of power, there was inevitably friction. In the end, Zhang Ju was chasing without hope, and his only backer became a yellow flower tomorrow, and he crossed the line. As a result, he violated the bottom line of silence and cut off the friendship between the two.

Although both of them are so cunning and profound, who in the cabinet knows their conflicts? So there is no need to pretend to be kind. Apart from normal official exchanges, there is no personal relationship.

Once, Silence had an intention to eradicate Zhang Juzheng. However, although the relationship between the other party and Longqing was not as good as him, he was still deeply in love and he had to consider the emperor's feelings. On the other hand, the conversation Xu Jie had with him before leaving Beijing actually implied it; "Zhang Juzheng is the nail I stayed in the capital. If you dare to pull it out, I will tear my face with you!" The threat. Although the old man is no longer the prime minister, he is still a silent teacher. He really can't stand it.

Of course, under Wang Yin's gaze with insightful eyes, Chen Si had to admit that it was impossible to get Zhang Juzheng to the premise that people had nothing to say... After all, Chen Si was very good at this kind of activity, but he rejected this practice from the bottom of his heart. Since he did not intend to emerge in reform and wanted to kill a future reformer, his actions would become the lowest level of power struggle.

This is something that silent pride does not allow. He would rather watch Zhang Ju grow stronger in the reform! Because he believed that he could defeat the other party in one fell swoop when necessary, so he let Zhang Juzheng throw himself to Gao Gong.

Yes, the reason why Gao Gong was able to knock down three competitors in just half a year was that in addition to his advantage in time, place, and people, Zhang Juzheng's advice during this period was also indispensable.

Without referring to the information of the Jinyiwei, silence can also be from Gao Gong's series of seemingly rough but actually linked together, which leads Zhao Zhenji to the point of being in a vain without realizing it, and to the point where he has to compete with Gao Gong for his saintly family. How can he be unable to defeat his talent by using his own strength to the other side?

Although I had known that Gao Gong would win, winning so quickly and so overwhelmingly made silence in it, and the breath of Zhang's conspiracy was smelled. But I had to sigh, it was a trick of stone three birds... First, Zhao Zhenji rolled the bed and went home in shame; Li Chunfang's position as prime minister was replaced; he also hugged the rabbit, and drove Chen Yiqin off the stage. The three opposition parties that hindered the reform were all solved in one go, which was of course the fattest bird; secondly, through this move, he won Gao Gong's trust and established the image of a dog-headed military advisor in the other party's heart. This was an important step to consolidate his position for Zhang Juzheng, who was always shrouded in the shadow of Shen Mo. Finally, under Gao Huzi's butcher knife, without the protection of Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji. Xu Party had to rely on him, Zhang Juzheng, which could greatly enhance his own strength.

It can be said that this short-term and fast battle was carried out in the director of Zhang Juzheng. Although Gao Gong, as the male lead, is full of glory, he always feels like he is used as a gun...

'If Jiangling really didn't sing the opposite tune with Xinzheng as Chen said...' Gao Yi couldn't help but say happily; "It's really a rare peaceful and clear river."

"Yes, no matter what," Gao Yi nodded with a smile, "It's time to do the job..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It's time to do the job!" After repeated pushes, Gao Huzi, who finally broke the 200-year normal under the humility of the three colleagues in front, finally sat on the throne of the cabinet chief minister. After he sat on the throne that represents the throne of all officials and the prime minister in the world, he did not feel that he had taken advantage of it. Because he felt that this was his position, there was neither excited nor grateful on his face. He just said with a stern face: "There is such a state affairs. Time is no longer enough, I will break the old and create the new ones. I have to seize the day, and I will encourage you." Then he completed the inauguration speech.

There was almost no need for buffering, Gao Gong entered the state. From March to June, in the past three months, he had published more than a dozen books in succession, revealing his reform ideas and shocking the government and the country. It is said that, "As soon as the stage appeared on the stage and made ten years of hard work." For the arrival of this day, Gao Gong had prepared more than ten years?

How to launch a reform? Of course, it’s not that everyone is sitting together and holding a meeting to say, let’s reform. Then they make a great change... That’s called nonsense, not reform.

To carry out a reform, in addition to the necessary right time, place, people and people, we must also have the "theoretical foundation" that can withstand doubts, the "political program" advocated by Lan Ming, and the ability to put the theory and program into practice.

Gao Gong is ready.

First of all, Gao Gong used the official report to clarify the theoretical basis of his reform, "Theory of Reform of the Economic Powers"... Any reform on the history has its theoretical basis, which proves the inevitability and legitimacy of reform. However, reforms without theoretical support will not appear, and even if they appear, they will not last.

In fact, as early as the 44th year of Jiajing, when Gao Gong presided over the Yichou Examination, he proposed this "concept of the classics" in Cheng Shi's article, political adjustment and political reform. It was mainly through the criticism of the Han Confucianism's theory of "reverse the classics and the Tao" theory of the Song Confucianism and the "right is the classics" theory and the "constant ones, adhere to the classics, and change ones, and the "right is the classics" theory. He creatively issued the theory of "the classics have the power of fixedness, and the power is the sutra of no fixedness" and "power is the perfect and the perfect one". He also made a clear statement of the political reform theory of "the universality of the conservative change of "no time and no place, nothing but power", and clearly proposed the political reform theory of "the things are moved, and the easy things are in place; the law changes with time, and the law is changed to the time". His "Cheng Shi Collection" which includes the idea of ​​conservative reform was published in the same year and made a great influence.

In short, Gao Gong's political reform theory of "comprehensive and change the right to change and change the law" is essentially characterized by emphasizing reform and change. Moreover, after years of discussion and dissemination, it has won the recognition of many people, and its influence can be called widespread and far-reaching.

Secondly, before the Longqing reign, Gao Gong had already put forward his programmatic political proposition "Memorial on the Restoration of Stubbornness to Respect the Holy Governance". However, because he had not yet mastered the regime at that time, he rashly proposed specific policy strategies, which was obviously boring. Therefore, in this program, Gao Gong focused on exposing the old customs and habits at that time, and listed them as "eight disadvantages"; namely "bad laws", "silent", "meaning", "striving jealousy", "straight", "party comparison", "spoken rumors".

These habits are very important and difficult to recover. "The eight evils are used in the world, not only cannot be saved, but the cause of troubles is actually caused by it." However, Gao Gong firmly believes that the administration can be cultivated, the borders can be calmed, the army can be weak, and the money can be cured. This means that the "prescription for scattering the intestines and clearing the stomach" and "the art of removing the traitors" must be vigorously rectified and reformed; "There is no mercy for dancing and writing. Therefore, the law is adhered to; greed is no mercy, so the dirty customs are cleared. Therefore, loyalty and honesty are promoted, the mean will be eliminated; reward public and upright, and the jealous will be suspended; judging courses. Those who shirkee will be dismissed; those who are public and abandoned; those who are party members will be eliminated; those who are judged for merit and sins will be ignored; those who are not tolerated; those who are verified will be sold without any words."

This reform program focuses on one thing: verify everything and govern the country with law. "Eight disadvantages are eliminated, and everything is booted on your own"! Only by eliminating the "eight disadvantages" can we save the crisis, reverse the stubborn trend, and achieve the goal of "cultivating internal resistance and fighting the outside world, eating enough food and soldiers".

After the resumption, Gao Gong originally wanted to give another article to explain specific constructive items, but after reading Zhang Juzheng's freshly released "Chen Liushi Commentary", he thought that he had not spent more effort on his own thoughts and regarded Zhang Juzheng as a comrade.

Finally, after he took office, Gao Gong put the reform theory and program into practice, that is, he wrote more than a dozen memorials in succession. By simply summarizing these memorials, we can clearly see that these sheep reform plans include the administration, finance, taxation, judicial, military, water conservancy and other aspects of the Ming Dynasty. It formed a set of rectification and reform suggestions for the severe situation due to the sluggish situation after the middle of Jiajing period.

Among them, three things are the most important, the reform of the administration, military reform, and financial and tax reform. Gao Gong took charge of the reform of the administration and handed over the task of military reform to Shen Mo. The reform of the fiscal and taxation was Zhang Juzheng's task. As for Gao Yi... there must be someone responsible for daily affairs.

Why do these three things mean the most important? The reason is very simple. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty guarded the country's gates, and military affairs were always the first priority. But for the farming nation, fighting is to burn money. How can we fight without money? As for the administration of officials... Gao Gong's "Commentary on the Praise of the Sage and the Governance of Destruction" is also called "Commentary on Eliminating Eight Disadvantages", which eliminates all diseases in the officialdom. Gao Gong was very clear and no matter how good the reform plan was, it needed to be implemented by the bureaucratic team. If the problems of the team themselves were not solved, no matter how good the scriptures were, they would be sang by the crooked monk.
