Ma Jin was panicked, and Zheng Luo and Jia Yingyuan were actually not much better.

You have to know the strength comparison that Ma Jin can analyze, the two of them have served in Shanxi for many years, where would they not know? So they also feel that the idea of high pragmatism is very dangerous.

It is dangerous, it does not mean that it cannot succeed, nor does it mean that the benefits after success are not large, but it means that the probability of success is not high, and the problems after failure are serious.

As a border minister, especially the border minister of the Ming Dynasty, they generally have nothing to do with expanding the territory or something, but it is certain that they have the responsibility to defend the territory.

In other words, even if the plan of high pragmatism is successful, the great merit of it undoubtedly belongs to high pragmatism, and the analogy is to say that "this merit is a total of one stone, and Gao Qiuzhen has eight buckets".

Their group of border ministers, and even the border generals and border troops, together don't know if they can account for the remaining two buckets - because the cabinet elders must still have a part of the "strategizing" work.

All of the above, for them, is called not very profitable.

But the big problem is that if you fail, the responsibility will be great!

Just imagine, if Hannaji and Zhongjin Hatun fail, regardless of whether Gao Shishi himself dies or not, even if he doesn't die, Hannaji and Zhongjin Hatun, the two strong masters of the Mingmeng mutual market, lose their status, what will happen to the mutual market in the future?

Because of the failure of the canonization on the Ming side, even for the sake of face, the mutual market must be stopped - Daming is this behavior, this is certain.

This mutual market is the key to peace between Ming and Mongolia, once it stops, can the hard love of gains and losses be endured? He can't bear it, and Daming can't let it, so do you need to talk about the result? Definitely can only fight.

Peace is hard to come by. As soon as the fight starts, the good situation of Xuanda Shanxi in the past ten years will be gone immediately! The fertile land that has been cleared is gone, and the people who have lost their land will become displaced people, which will cause chaos in the local area and cause disasters to the imperial court...... It's all trouble!

Besides, there is a more critical thing: when there is no war, even if the border ministers are useless, at least there will be nothing to show off, everyone An Ansheng has been mixed in the position for a few years, he should be promoted, he should be promoted, he should be promoted, he should be promoted, hello, hello, everyone, isn't it beautiful? Why fight to the death with those poor Mongols!

If you enter your mother's family, the Mongols can loot when they come, and all the gold, silver, cloth, grain, and population are harvested. But even if the Han army wins, what can it gain except for a few heads? Grab dozens of horses, hundreds of cattle and sheep, that thing is embarrassed to say harvest? Damn, you can earn back ten times as much as you can just open a market! Do you know how to count as an official?

Besides, what if somewhere falls, what if it is the duty to defend the land? When the time comes, the court will investigate it, and of course only the military generals will die, but the Wenchen will also lose his office!

Therefore, it is more likely that this account will be a loss no matter how it is calculated.

Zheng Luo, as the governor of Xuanda and the person promoted by Wang Chonggu, is one of the core figures of the Jin Party, supported by Zhang Siwei's letters, and it is difficult to say anything too pessimistic for a while, so he has to be silent, frowning, and looking like he is thinking hard.

Jia Yingyuan is different, he came to serve as the governor of Datong, before he was the deputy envoy of Shanxi, his entire tenure in Shanxi, whether long or short, is exactly eight years this year - he was promoted from the prefect of Yangzhou to the deputy envoy of Shanxi in February of the second year of Wanli, and then he was put into the Jin Party.

In other words, he is not a hardcore Jin Party like Zheng Luo, and even to some extent, he has to join the Jin Party because he is an official in Shanxi.

Moreover, Jia Yingyuan is relatively good at internal affairs rather than military affairs. In his early years, he managed a brick and tile factory, served as the prefect of Jinan and Yangzhou, and was known for his shrewdness in internal affairs.

After arriving in Shanxi, he did the military preparation road, and the official position was "the deputy envoy of the Yanmen Pass Tuntian", which can be seen from the map, Yanmen Pass is not a first-line defense zone at this time, but a "second-line Great Wall", and at this time I have completed the tribute for several years, so the defense of Yanmen Pass is actually based on repairing the city wall, and in addition to repairing the city wall, the real main task is actually Tuntian.

Civil officials who are good at internal affairs and are proficient in internal affairs, except for travelers like Gao Pragmatic, are basically not very happy subconsciously about the practices that may lead to war, because once a war starts, it will change from an insider to an outsider for them, which can easily lead to mistakes, and Jia Yingyuan is of course no exception.

Therefore, when Liu Ping was calm, Ma Jin didn't dare to speak, and Zheng Luo was silent, Jia Yingyuan had no choice but to cough lightly and speak: "Gao Shizhong, if this matter can be successful, it is great, but at the moment, there are too many uncertain factors, do you still need to think about it in the long run?" ”

The word "long-term discussion" is very good, very good, but everyone is not a newcomer to officialdom, and everyone can hear that this is synonymous with "reconsideration".

Gao pragmatic smiled and said, "Chun Yugong, can you ask, what do you think is the most uncertain?" ”

As soon as Jia Yingyuan heard it, he knew that Gao Pragmatic was unwilling to give up, but he couldn't give in casually to such a big thing, even if he knew the strength of the latent forces behind Gao Pragmatic, he could only bite the bullet and speak: "Well, the most important thing is naturally whether Han Naji can win the article of Xin Ai." ”

Jia Yingyuan frowned and said: "It is certain that Han Naji is a person, and his heart is towards Daming, but after all, he is not a general in the army, and he is also the grandson of Yu Da, Yu Li, he may not be stronger than Xin Ai; In terms of potential, he has no righteous reputation. In this way, even if Zhong Jin Hatun marries and helps, I am afraid that he may not be Xin Ai's opponent. If he loses, how will it end? ”

Gao pragmatic said: "Righteousness? There are two points that can ensure righteousness: First, I replied that since I was canonized by my Ming Dynasty, who will be the king of Shunyi, is it not my Ming Dynasty who has the final say, but their own decision? Since I carried the edict of the Son of Heaven to Tumut, the edict of the Son of Heaven is the great righteousness! ”

"Second, the Mongolian side is now the head of the Yellow Sect, and I replied that he died in the Dazhao Temple, and his Khan name was also given by the leader of the Yellow Sect and him...... In this way, I only have to persuade the Yellow Sect to grant the Khan title of our Kravardi Chechen Khan to Hannaji, isn't this righteous name decided? ”

Jia Yingyuan couldn't refute these two items, of course he didn't dare to say that the effect of the edict of the Son of Heaven was useless, and he was relatively clear about the influence of the Ming Dynasty on the Yellow Sect, so he had to turn the topic back and said, "What about the battle situation?" Mongolia since Dayan Khan, has always been the eldest son inheritance, like my Ming Dynasty, now I am dead, naturally should be Xin Ai to inherit his title, which involves not only the righteous name in the eyes of us, but also the traditions of the Mongols, plus that Chataiji has always been the loyal dog of I, if he thinks that after the death of I, the Great Khan should be Xin Ai......

Gao Shizhong had also dealt with Chataiji before, and he should know this person's temperament, and what he decided was not easy to change. And with his prestige, once he helps Xin Ai, the power balance is even more disparity. ”

Gao said lightly: "It's not difficult to convince Chataiji. ”

At this time, not only Jia Yingyuan was surprised, but Zheng Luo, Liu Ping and Ma Jin were all surprised, looking at Gao Shishi, waiting for him to explain.

Gao pragmatic said: "First of all, I didn't leave any will or testament, and Chataiji himself was not in Dazhao Temple at that time, and only Zhongjin Hatun people were waiting for me. ”

Jia Yingyuan said strangely: "So what? ”

Gao pragmatic said with a smile: "Zhong Jin Hatun still has all kinds of seals, golden orders and other things in my hand, that is to say...... It was easy for her to make a will. ”

Jia Yingyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... It's equivalent to an overkill. ”

"Edict?" Gao pragmatic laughed: "Why is it an edict?" Altan Khan had something to say before he died, and he could only say it to Zhongjin Hatun, and Zhongjin Hatun said that he had said it, and he said it, and if he didn't say it, he didn't say it. Besides, after my death, before the election of the new Khan, she was the regent, who would dare to question her pretentiousness? ”

Besides, I was not satisfied with the primogeniture system - of course, his eldest son, I may not have been very dissatisfied, but it was for people, not for things. That's right, that is, I hope to be virtuous, not long. Whether the idea itself is right or not, it is my idea after all. From the perspective of Lixian, my favorite children and grandchildren must be Hannaji, which is no problem, right? Therefore, the establishment of Hannaji as the Great Khan may be the original intention of my answer, why is it overbearing? ”

You're a strong word!

Jia Yingyuan said angrily in his heart, but now it is a discussion, it is definitely not okay to scold people, and everyone's starting point is to be good to Da Ming on the whole, even if he is pragmatic and "unscrupulous", he Jia Futai can't say that he is wrong.

Therefore, Jia Yingyuan still turned the question back and asked: "In this way, Chataiji will not help Xin Ai, but will throw himself into Hannaji?" ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said, "Maybe you can, maybe not, so in order to be perfect, I need to go to Chataiji in person and talk to him face to face." ”
