Chapter 067: The Storm of Inverted Heights (4)
According to Gao Pragmatic analysis, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng's goals are basically the same, they both want to reverse the arch, but the specific interests are not exactly the same.
For Zhang Juzheng, the so-called "inverted arch" is to pull the high arch off the horse, and it is best to step on 10,000 feet after pulling the horse. After all, if the high arch does not fall, the first assistant position will never be his turn. Now Gao Gong has become more and more suspicious of him, the two of them have changed from close comrades-in-arms to political enemies in a short period of time, and the contradictions between them can only be resolved by life and death - no, it is eliminated.
Feng Bao's side is different, although he and Gao Gong have been "enemies" for a much longer time than Zhang Juzheng, but in fact, the contradictions between them are not absolutely irreconcilable.
In fact, as long as Gao Gong doesn't mind letting Feng Bao sit on the throne of the palm seal of the boss, Feng Bao and Gao Gong have no contradiction at all, because for Feng Bao, there is no essential difference between Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, or other ministers.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic knew that it was impossible to make Gao Gong not mind. Although Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are both reformers of practical learning and have similar political goals, their understanding of eunuchs is by no means the same.
Relatively speaking, Gao Gong's political attitude is more firm than Zhang Juzheng, and he will not tolerate Feng Bao, the prince's companion, sitting on the throne of the palm seal of the boss and the eunuch, and have the opportunity to mess up the government like Wang Zhen and Liu Jin, bringing disaster to the country and the people.
Zhang Juzheng is not, history has proved that he would rather use various methods such as money bribery and reputation to ensure his administrative power, rather than risk defeat to fight Feng Bao.
In this way, since it is impossible for Gao Gong to let Feng Bao control the inner court, the difference in interests between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng is meaningless.
But Gao pragmatic thought about it, and still found something from the two of them that might be able to be used.
For example, because of the difference in identities between Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, the way of "inverted arch" will inevitably be different, which may be a place to be used.
For Zhang Juzheng, he was a civil official of the foreign court and an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and if he wanted to reverse the arch, he had to follow a certain method - such as instructing his subordinates to impeach Gao Gong, which was one of the most common practices. This time, Liu Fenyong pointed out that Sang scolded Huai's sparseness, which is a typical example.
However, Liu Fenyong's courage is not enough, his upper sparseness is too timid, and he can only be regarded as the first shot of Zhang Juzheng's inverted arch, but it is definitely not the main offensive force, so Zhang Juzheng must have a backhand.
But this type of backhand, Gao Pragmatism is not worried. According to his assumption, Zhang Juzheng was in a hurry to form an "anti-Gao Alliance" before Longqing's death, although it was strategically correct, but he actually committed Longqing's taboo, because Emperor Longqing's idea of supporting Gu was to be high for ten years, and Zhang Juzheng for another ten years.
Now Zhang Juzheng wants to cross the high arch and ascend to the throne directly, which not only ruined Emperor Longqing's plan, but also slapped the emperor in the face - I just made peace for you in front of Mr. Gao, and now you are here to dismantle my platform? I have known and protected Mr. Gao for 20 years, and now I am counting on the posthumous name of a monarch and a minister, how can I allow you to destroy it!
Ninety-nine bows have been bowed, just this last trembling, how dare you not let me have a beginning and an end?
It is precisely because of Longqing's thoughts that Gao Pragmatic has been persistently persuading Gao Gong to forbear, and everything depends on the emperor's disposal.
The trouble now still lies with Feng Bao, because he is an eunuch, and his way of doing it is completely different from Zhang Juzheng.
Feng Bao doesn't need any principles at all, and he doesn't need to explain anything in front of the world, all his practices, as long as one condition is met, will be impeccable-after the emperor's death, the harem can believe in him.
As long as the emperor is gone, the invincible saint of the high arch world will be gone, and by that time, the so-called saint has actually become the favor of the two palaces - the prince or the new monarch is too young, and he must listen to his mother, whether it is a nominal mother or a real mother.
Of course, if you want to choose, it must be the biological mother who is more irreversible.
In other words, as long as the emperor dies, Li Guifei's meaning is basically considered holy will.
The defeat of the high arch in history boils down to not understanding this.
At that time, Gao Gong expounded the absurdity of Feng Bao and the three cabinet ministers from all aspects, and also questioned that Feng Bao's appointment as the master of ceremonies was not from the "last order of the first emperor" at all, and so on, etc., the reason is very sufficient. Not only that, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are also on his side, and the officials of the six branches and the thirteen imperial histories have also supported him with a clear banner.
However, these were useless, Zhang Juzheng just quietly gave Feng Bao, who was already panicked, an idea, and Feng Bao immediately turned the crisis into safety after doing so, and killed with one blow, so that Gao Gong had a "return home and stay idle, not allowed to stay".
Gao Gong can only drive the speech officials to attack Feng Bao's crimes; Feng Bao was able to pinch the two palaces and doubted Gao Gong's loyalty.
No matter how great his sin is, as long as he is my person and listens to me, it is not a great evil and can be forgiven; No matter how great your ability is, but your loyalty is doubtful and your motives are unknown, then your sin is so heinous that it will not be forgiven!
Only by figuring out the weaknesses of human nature can we kill with one blow.
Zhang Juzheng is really a closed disciple of Xu Jie, even though he may not have learned everything else, but the most ruthless killing move is to learn vividly!
Back then, Xu Jie's father and son were overturned, in the final analysis, it was not how capable he was, but that he had found out the psychological weakness of Emperor Jiajing at that time!
So now, although Gao Pragmatic has prepared in all aspects, the most important energy is still in the palace, and the final killing move is also in the palace!
At this time, after thinking about it, he walked back to his bookcase, took out a piece of paper and put it in place, but instead of grinding ink, he took out a short and slender charcoal pen from his sleeve and wrote quickly on the paper.
After a short time, he wrote a few lines and checked them again, and then quietly rolled up the paper, pinched it in his hand, walked to the door, and shouted, "Someone, add ice." ”
When the few little eunuchs outside heard this, they all planned to come over, and one of the young eunuchs wearing the clothes of a young eunuch immediately stopped them and said with a smile: "Don't be busy, you guys will go in person." ”
The little eunuchs turned their heads to look, and one by one they hurriedly stopped, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Gonggong Liu, how can you work hard for this little thing, if the master knows, can't you reprimand us for being ignorant?" ”
The "your old" father-in-law Liu, who was only in his twenties, waved his hand and said: "No way, my uncle said that Gao Shishu is his old knowledge, let the master wait carefully, no matter what the master says, he can't help but listen to his uncle's orders, right?" ”
The little eunuchs looked stunned, and they all smiled and said: "It turned out to be Huang Bingbi's order, so ...... Father-in-law Liu, please, please. ”
It turned out that this father-in-law Liu was none other than Liu Ping, the nephew of Huang Mengyu, who was the gun supervisor with outstanding professional ability when Gao Pragmatic went to Datong to inspect the defense.
Liu Pingjian persuaded the little eunuchs around him, and was satisfied with the fact that he personally asked someone to bring a large piece of ice and put it in the bucket, and personally mentioned it in the Dongnuan Pavilion.
Gao Shi saw him come in with ice, and deliberately said loudly: "Just put it next to me, it's not cool from afar!" ”
Liu Ping also spoke to him loudly. But as soon as he approached, Gao Shishi reached out and handed him a paper tube that was rolled very tightly, and commanded in a low voice: "Do you know who to give it to?" ”
Liu Ping also lowered his voice and replied, "I know." ”
Gao pragmatic nodded, and immediately said loudly: "Okay, let's leave it here, thank you for your hard work...... Before His Highness returns, I will take a nap and tell them not to disturb him. ”
Liu Ping also replied loudly: "Yes, yes, Gao Yude, don't worry, I will personally explain it outside, and there will be no mistakes." ”
