This question was asked pragmatically, and he couldn't laugh or cry, and said in his heart: The so-called "accompanying the prince to study" was a ridiculous word in my time, which meant that it was specially used as a green leaf for people, and the whole thing was a foil. Just this kind of errand, I still mentioned it to the prince myself? Did I have a lightning strike, or was I born with masochism?

Hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, Uncle San, how could I come up with such a bad idea?" ”

"Bad idea?" Gao Gong narrowed his eyes: "Tell me, why is this a bad idea?" ”

"Uh......" Gao Pragmatic was a little confused about Gao Gong's mind for a while, but he thought that no matter what he thought, at least the third uncle would not be able to harm himself, so he settled down, thought about it for a while, and replied: "First, the third uncle has already said that I have no precedent in the Ming Dynasty, and the so-called improper name is not good, if you really do this, you will be criticized by the government and the opposition, whether it is for the third uncle today or for the nephew in the future, it will not be good." ”

It stands to reason that this is a cautious statement, and it is definitely a serious "way to be an official", who expected Gao Gong to shake his head, and said: "But there is no evil in the sect, and the tiger and wolf also stand in the bush!" I arched myself and asked myself, if I am dedicated to the country, why should I be afraid of foul language? Pragmatism, you must remember: looking ahead, worrying and ridiculing, this generation may be able to steal the official reputation of the time, but it is rare to be famous; Negative to the world's hope, open up the atmosphere first, this generation may be attacked at that time, but it will be praised by thousands of years! Life in the world, how many autumns of grass and trees, why leave traces as a shadow? Neither power nor wealth - if you have ten thousand rooms in Guangxia, you will sleep in nothing more than one bed; No matter how much land you have, there is only one side of the bones. After thousands of years, there are only two kinds of reporters that people can do: loyalty and treachery. ”

Gao Gong's words were high and pragmatic and ashamed, he was a traverser, and in many ways he had a psychological advantage over these "ancients", but he was not as responsible as an ancient. He didn't dare to sit anymore, straightened his face, got up and bowed: "The third uncle has been taught, and the nephew has been taught." ”

Gao Gong waved his hand: "I don't care about this, don't worry about it...... Sit down and say the next one. ”

"Yes, Uncle San." Gao pragmatic sat back honestly, muttered for a while, and said: "If the first third uncle doesn't care, then there is no need to talk about the second, or even the third. Instead......"

"On the contrary to what?"

Gao pragmatically and cautiously slowed down his speech and said slowly: "On the contrary, if this is the case, there are many benefits. ”

Gao Gong stared at Gao Shishi's eyes, and said seriously: "Do you want to say that this benefit is...... Today's Saints, tomorrow's Saints? ”

"Yes!" Gao Pragmatic did not hide it this time, and he was not afraid of making Gao Gong angry, and said bluntly: "Third uncle, whether it is the holy family of today or the holy family of the coming day, as long as the purpose of our request for this holy family is not to control the government, engage in personal fraud, fish and flesh the people, slim down the world and fat oneself, but to clean up the dynasty, refresh the rule of officials, enrich the country and strengthen the army, then my nephew thinks that this holy family is worthy of asking for it." ”

Gao Gong was ready to refute it, but unexpectedly, Gao Pragmatic said this, he couldn't help but hesitate, muttered for a long time, sometimes showed his face, sometimes frowned, and in the end just turned into a sigh: "It's just that acting like this can't be called a fair and honest ......."

"The third uncle taught the little nephew many times that everything should be done as the first premise. Besides, it is not an uncommon thing to consolidate the Holy Family, there have been countless ministers throughout the ages, but who wants to make a career, who can still lack the Holy Family? If it is really someone who can achieve great things without even needing the Holy Family, then ...... It's scary. ”

That's natural, you don't need a saint to do things, either follow Yi and Huo, or imitate Cao and be reckless.

Gao Gong listened, and sighed lightly, what he said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it.

Gao Shishi continued to ask: "Then how did the third uncle answer when the saint mentioned this matter today?" ”

"I only reasoned that the stakes were high and that it needed to be carefully considered, so at this time I neither agreed nor refused."

Gao pragmatically nodded, got up and paced a few steps, and asked, "The prince has not officially enlightened?" ”

"The saint doesn't want the prince to be too disciplined at too young age, so it is true that he has not yet been officially enlightened, but it is said that he has already read a lot of words, such as "Three", "Hundred", and "Thousand". As for whether I learned well or not, I don't know very well - I heard that these were taught by Li Guifei herself, and Feng Bao was on the side to help. Gao Gong thought for a while and asked, "What, do you think the prince should be enlightened?" ”

Gao Shishi had the bottom in his heart, but he refused to say it now, and only said: "If I go to the palace to accompany me, I have read the "Four Books" and the prince has not yet been enlightened, then it will all delay me?" Therefore, if the prince really wants me to accompany him to read, he should be enlightened as soon as possible, and I can help the prince more or less when it comes to enlightenment; Second, I myself can be regarded as a refresher. ”

Gao Gong was not in a hurry to speak, picked up the teacup, gently turned the lid of the cup, thought carefully, and said after a while: "I just said, I am not afraid of people's words, this is not a lie, but I am not afraid of people's words, there is a reason: Yu Shao is a famous family, five years old is good at couples, eight years old to recite a thousand words, seventeen years old to 'Book of Rites' in the township." In the 20th year of Jiajing, he was a jinshi and was elected as a scholar. Twenty-one years, Yu was appointed as the editor of Hanlin, and after completing the examination in nine years, he was promoted to Hanlin to study. Thirty-one years, speaking for King Yu. Thirty-seven years later, he was a bachelor in the field of Qianhanlin. In the thirty-ninth year, he was promoted to Taichang Siqing, and was in charge of the country's sacrificial wine. Forty-four years, King Jing Yu was in the domain, Yu Shengli was still the book, summoned into Zhilu, and had to serve Feiyu. In March of the 45th year, he was recommended by Xu Huating to be a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. ”

Gao Gong stopped when he said this, but Gao Pragmatic already understood what he meant, and replied: "I have a great respect for scholars, Sanbo Jinshi was born, Hanlin Qinggui, not only the emperor of today, but also the official resume is perfect, even if others slander and slander, there are not many places where they can speak, and they can't easily shake Sanbo; And the little nephew is different, Huangkou Xiaoer, who has neither a literary name nor a prominent name, why is he the prince's companion? As a result, the government and the opposition are uneasy, and the people are talking about it, and they will come one after another, and then ...... It is a situation where everyone is making money and accumulating and destroying bones. ”

Gao Gong saw that his young nephew was so analytical that he didn't say anything, and his face was fearless and calm, he couldn't help but be very different, and couldn't help asking: "Since you have expected such a situation, you must know that such a situation is extremely serious. I still remember that the year before last, your third uncle and I were forced into a desperate situation and had no choice but to resign and return home. There is a saying: A literati has a pen, and he doesn't use a knife to kill! But you ...... But why are you so calm? ”
