That's what I say, that's what I think, but it's not easy to create opportunities. According to the previous high pragmatic idea, the original historical inverted high trio was actually not monolithic from the beginning.

Here, the only one who really has irreconcilable political contradictions with Gao Gong is Zhang Juzheng. Although Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are currently in their honeymoon period, and have been mostly in similar political situations before, and their political goals are quite similar, or at least quite similar, they have a contradiction that can never be resolved: even if they are both reformers, they ...... Who is the master and who is the slave?

Some scholars in later generations, confined to historical prejudice or narrow regional concepts, forcibly set Gao and Zhang in opposition, believing that Zhang was a reformer and Gao was a "traitor" and a "minister". This tendency of "praising and belittling" still has a certain influence even before the high pragmatic crossing. In fact, Gao and Zhang protected and helped each other for a long time, not only politically as allies, but also academically quite a lot. However, it is a pity that in terms of personality, whether it is Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, I am afraid that the heroes of Longwan's reform only need one person to be enough!

Gao Pragmatic made up his mind to help Gao Gong not long after the crossing, and a large part of the reason for this is naturally because he crossed into Gao Gong's nephew, and if you want to "better and faster" save Da Ming, this identity is very useful, and Gao Pragmatic doesn't want to abandon it. But he didn't ask himself that his head was completely determined by his ass, because the high arch was worth his attention in every way.

From a historical point of view, politically, Gao Gong created a precedent for the "Longwan Great Reform" in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The reason why it can be called a pioneer is because the high arch has three "firsts". That is, it first laid the theoretical foundation of Longwan's great reform - the idea of "changing the law with the times, then changing the law with the times"; First of all, he put forward the political program of Longwan's great reform - "Reversing the Decadence and Governing the Sage with Chongsheng" (Gao Shu proposed it in the 45th year of Jiajing, and Zhang Juzheng's "Chen Liushi Shu" was submitted in the second year of Longqing); First of all, he put the reform ideas and program into practice, and his reform also laid the personnel and policy foundation for Zhang Juzheng's reform. There are these three "firsts", the pioneering word, the high arch is well deserved.

Academically, Gao Gong was the pioneer of the Ming Dynasty's practical school of thought. The Jia, Long, and Wansan dynasties were originally the flourishing period of Yangming Xinxue and Jingshi Shixue (although Xinxue gradually changed its taste). However, by criticizing the shortcomings of the emptiness of the mind at this time, Gao Gong comprehensively expounded the idea of practical learning, that is, the theory of the essence of the vitality of "the only qi between heaven and earth", and put forward the theory of "there is truth in heaven and there are facts in man", the theory of seeking truth from reality with "everything must be true", "seeking truth from the truth with an open mind", and the theory of practical government benefits of "the government cultivates the real government and the people benefit from it". His practical thinking also had a great impact on the heyday of the entire practical school of thought during the Ming and Qing dynasties. From the perspective of the development of qi science in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Gao Gong is not only an important representative of the qi camp in the Ming Dynasty, but also an intermediate link in the development of qi from Zhang Zai to Wang Fu, and has a very important historical position.

Moreover, Gao Gong is by no means a theorist who only mentions theory and is short of practice, he is a very capable doer. In particular, after Gao Gong was promoted to the first assistant in the late Longqing period, he carried out a series of drastic reforms in view of the many shortcomings after the middle of Jiajing.

In the area of administering officials, it is necessary to implement the practice of using both jinshi and promoting people, eliminate the bad habit of promoting officials, create personnel files, establish an echelon of officials, improve the system of regional recusal, make the prefecture and county officials younger, streamline the organization, improve the evaluation system, and crack down on bribery.

In the military and border affairs, the old system of "one merchant and two attendants" in the military department has been abolished, a new system of "one merchant and four attendants" has been established, officers and departments of the military department have been selected for long-term appointments, border talents have been selected to enrich the subordinates of the military department, and a system of leave has been established for border commanders.

These reforms soon had notable successes: in the northwest, I was forced to pay tribute; achieved a great victory in Liaozuo in the northeast; a peaceful settlement of the civil strife in the Southwest; In the south, it achieved the effect of "Lingkoudining" and so on.

In terms of the rule of law, the high arch also has a good performance. He supervised the Guanzheng Jinshi to pay attention to the laws and regulations, implement the law of long-term tenure of the officials of the criminal department, strengthen the responsibility of the state and county officials to inquire about the names of the criminals, suppress thieves and reassure the people, severely punish harsh officials, and redress major unjust cases.

In terms of financial management, Gao Gong strengthened the appointment of money and grain officials, improved the tax and grain collection measures, implemented the Qingzhang reform, implemented a whip law (this credit was given to Zhang Juzheng in later generations), implemented the policy of benefiting merchants, and rectified the currency system.

In terms of Cao Zheng, Gao Gong implemented the remediation plan of "two roads and parallel transportation" of the river and sea: dredge the Cao Yun and dig a new river; The sea ban was lifted and shipping was resumed.

In short, the reform of the high arch has achieved the remarkable effect of "the government is cultivated and the people are benefited". Mr. Ji Wenfu, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a famous educator, historian, philosopher, the first president of Zhengzhou University, and the founder of the Department of History, proposed that "Gao Gong is a very capable prime minister, and he is the first to open in many aspects". However, "Jiangling became a prominent statesman in China's modern history, and Xinzheng was gradually forgotten." In fact, Xinzheng is still advanced in Jiangling, and there are many places in Jiangling's scholarship and achievements that can be said to have originated from Xinzheng." Mr. Ji not only affirmed Gao Gong's reform achievements, but also clarified the inheritance relationship between Gao and Zhang in terms of scholarship and merit. Later generations of historians put forward that the Longqing reform presided over by Gao Gong was the founding period, and the Wanli reform presided over by Zhang Juzheng was only a reasonable continuation of the Longqing reform program, and the thesis that it was collectively called the "Longwan Great Reform" was the inheritance and development of Mr. Ji's view.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatism has no guilt for "keeping the high and turning the buck". In his opinion, anyway, the political goals of the two of you are actually similar, and the ability to govern is not good, and Gao Gong is still stronger, as for the ability to teach the emperor...... Although the Longqing Emperor taught by Gao Gong was not very capable, at least he maintained enough trust in Gao Gong from beginning to end, and was willing to let Gao Gong do things; Although the Wanli Emperor taught by Zhang Juzheng was actually not bad, he eventually became distorted, not only defeated and whipped his teacher Zhang Juzheng, but also because of the dispute over the country, the monarch and the ministers were not in harmony, and the two sides were almost enemies, and the world was in an uproar.

Therefore, in the trio, the first one who doesn't need to think about wooing at all, and only needs to think about defeating is Zhang Juzheng!

Isn't it just that politicians are tilting against each other! Secretary Gao, who had also worked in the county party committee and the town party committee, pouted disdainfully: I have no psychological pressure to do this.

So, what about Li Guifei and Feng Bao?
