Chapter 6: The Iron Prime Minister
"High ...... Gao Ge ......"
Although the words are soft, the changes in the face are all in the human eye. Shen Wuyan swept Wan Cong's slightly twitching cheeks, glanced at Gao Gong again, and sighed: "It's just a misunderstanding......"
"Misunderstanding?" Gao Gong snorted coldly, walked into the store with disdainful sleeves, and walked towards the reserved private room, leaving only the shocked Wan Cong and Wan Xiong.
Walking into the private room with Gao Gong one after the other, the wine and food have been prepared, all of them are home-cooked dishes, and the wine is also some ordinary wine, but the tea is all good tea.
After the two of them sat down, Shen Wuyan slowly got up, hugged his fist towards Gao Gong, and said, "There was probably some misunderstanding in the past, but this time I will make it clear......
"Misunderstanding?" Gao Gong raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Wuyan, chuckled, and said lightly: "This made the old man a little surprised, and I don't know what misunderstanding there is between you and me." ”
Shen Wuyan also smiled, his smile was a little helpless: "Then let's say it directly...... I still remember coming to the capital back then, and I still had the accommodation and work arranged by Gao Gelao...... The country's sacrificial wine is a big turning point. ”
This is also in my heart, if Shen Wuyan had not served in Guozijian back then, he would not have befriended those old antiques in Guozijian, and the young scholars would not have had the later collision with Beizhen Fusi's edict to save people.
If he hadn't gone to the Guozijian and didn't serve in the classics, he probably wouldn't have known Zhang Juzheng, let alone left that poem, he wouldn't have been seen by the emperor, and there would be no world today.
Gao Gong smiled, put the vegetables into the bowl at will, and chewed for a while before saying, "It was Shao Fang who took you to the capital, but it was Your Majesty's intention...... As for arranging accommodation for you, it is also your Majesty's intention. ”
Shen Wuyan nodded, and then said, "Later, Yan Shifan ...... Xu Ge has made it so difficult, although he has survived it so far, he also has your help in the back...... Although you did not explain it, you did not dare to forget it. ”
"It's all a lot of work...... Besides, it would be useful to keep you at that time, otherwise you will have to purge these people on your own. I really can't do it......" Gao Gong poured himself wine, then got up and closed the door.
Then he returned to his seat and continued, "But my work is really a gesture, and it comes down to your own creation...... Even without me, you would still be where you are today. ”
There was a slight hint of appreciation in his words, and his gaze stayed on Shen Wuyan for a while.
For these details, Shen Wuyan saw it in his eyes. A little relieved. After all, Gao Gong is also upright, although he is a little treacherous when he interacts with people every day. But since we say we want to talk about it today, we are indeed telling the truth.
That's enough, Shen Wuyan thought like this, and poured his own wine, and only after drinking did he say, "Of course, there were some contradictions later...... For example, you became the first assistant, and you seem to have a misunderstanding of me......"
"Something to say." Gao Gong's eyes sank slightly, and his words gradually calmed down.
Shen Wuyan nodded with a smile, waved his hand and said, "It's me who restrained me...... You framed me and Liu Hanyan in an attempt to disadvantage the first emperor...... If you don't run fast, you will really die. ”
The content is heavy. But after Shen Wuyan said this, it was also very relaxed, even Gao Gong laughed out loud when he heard it, and then he responded: "In fact, there is no full evidence to prove that you are guilty......
"But I was imprisoned in the Beizhen Fusi Prison, and I was almost beheaded...... Liu Hanyan was almost murdered......" Shen Wuyan still had a smile on his face, but his words were obviously much more eager.
"Now that this thing is in the past...... Then let him pass...... It's this year, what's going on with Meng Chong's side......"
The wine glass that Gao Gong had just raised had not yet been brought into his mouth. Then he slowly put it down again. He was no longer familiar with every move in Suzhou, how Qi Yao was arrested by Shen Wuyan's design, and how he killed him, he saw it all.
Of course, how did Qi Yao calculate the Li family, and how did Li Xingchang die...... Even how did Qi Yao frame the Shen family and the Li family. Nothing before and after escaped his eyes, and if he didn't stop it, it was tantamount to acquiescence.
Failure to stop is tantamount to connivance, and connivance is tantamount to designing.
Gao Gong naturally understood the reason, so he was silent for a moment before pouring the wine into his throat, and the not pungent fruit wine soaked his tongue a little dry, so he hurriedly picked up the vegetables and sent them to his mouth.
After a while, he said, "Li Xingchang's matter...... I am responsible...... As for Li Xinglong, the second master of the Li family, and your subordinates...... It's also the people I sent out. ”
Speech is calmer. So much so that after the exit, the entire room became more and more silent. In addition, it was not early, and the lights were not lit in the room, so the room was a little darker.
Shen Wuyan got up and opened the window, then crouched down in front of the window and looked at the streets of West Chang'an in the evening, and after a long time, he sighed lightly and said, "I can also ignore these things......
I really didn't expect Shen Wuyan to answer like this, and he would let go of all this hatred, thinking that the hatred between the two could not be resolved, so he did everything possible to prevent the other party from returning to the capital.
And it was a little surprising that the other party would put these things down like this, but it was a reasonable thing...... After all, I came here today to talk about something, and if it was to quarrel about gains and losses, it was not the character of the scholar in front of me.
"You don't have to feel at a loss...... You used the old man to get rid of Chen Hong, Meng Chong, and all his cronies...... and separated me from the ministers, and asked Feng Bao to befriend Zhang Juzheng...... Concubine Li's words made His Majesty more and more distrustful of me...... But it's also very vicious. ”
This kind of thing seems ordinary, but it all started imperceptibly, until the matter was a foregone conclusion, Gao Gong realized that it was all arranged by Shen Wuyan, but it was irretrievable.
Now it seems that these things are nothing, the emperor still trusts Gao Gong, the ministers are still flattering him, and Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao have never been able to shake him, and the position of the first assistant is very stable. 、
It's just that a few people who know all this know that Gao Gong's current state of affairs is really dangerous. The ministers and Feng Bao are still like this now because His Majesty still trusts him, and he is still the first assistant of the court.
Once one day, because something touches the emperor, it will be difficult to guarantee the position of the first assistant, then the ministers will inevitably attack him, and then Feng Bao only needs to take advantage of the fisherman.
Shen Wuyan smiled, then turned around and sat down, sighing, "It's just a courtesy...... But these are all your own problems, so I'll just make use of them in the future...... Catalytic effect only...... Even if I hadn't done these things, you'd be like this sooner or later. ”
Gao Gong nodded, expressing his acknowledgment of what Shen Wuyan said, so he appreciated the other party more and more, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Yan Shifan once said that there were three great geniuses in this dynasty, and now the three of them are gone...... But if it were me, you and Zhang Juzheng would be able to fill the gap between these two......"
Shen Wuyan just shook his head and chuckled, "Today is not the time to say this...... Now that the old things are out of the way, it's time to talk about something new. ”
"It's not enough to sit in this first assistant position?" Gao Gong's pupils shrank, stared at Shen Wuyan deeply, and asked first.
For the other party to get to the point so quickly, he was indifferent, and only said: "The talent of the old Gao Ge is not under Mr. Zhang...... In the world, the position of the first assistant is naturally you. ”
Gao Gong nodded, and then asked, "What does Mr. Shen think is the problem of Da Ming now?" ”
Shen Wuyan couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but be curious: "This is a bit of a imperial examination...... But since you ask Da Ming's question, there are more...... The first is the issue of land, where royalty occupies large quantities...... Eventually, when people don't have land, they become displaced people...... And the rebellion of the displaced people has not been resolved since the founding of the country. ”
Listening to Shen Wuyan's eloquent talk, Gao Gong smiled and nodded, and asked, "Hu Zongxian also mentioned this issue back then...... He said that a gentleman had instructed him, and it was your Excellency...... But how do you think it can be solved, although those princes have no power, they can't be moved. ”
"Therefore, you need to think that the iron-blooded prime minister ......" Shen Wuyan glanced at Gao Gong meaningfully, and then shook his head and said: "It's a pity that Your Excellency is indeed not ......"
"How is it iron-blooded, and who is this person, could it be Your Excellency?" Gao Gong sneered, glanced at Shen Wuyan, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Shen is a peacemaker in the capital...... All the officials say that you are good, but you are not like a person who can be tough. ”
was exposed to his weakness like this by Gao Gong, Shen Wuyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said helplessly: "Naturally, it's not under the ...... If he is the first assistant, the court is afraid that it will be a miasma...... I'm lazy, and I'm tired of the etiquette...... It is said that when Jun'er was the prince, he had to go to the Ministry of Rites every day to learn etiquette...... The whole person has lost a lot of weight. ”
At the mention of Zhu Yijun, Gao Gong had anger on his face, and said coldly: "This kid is naughty...... Now that he is the prince, he still plays with the palace maids and eunuchs every day...... But it's time to find a concubine for him to take care of. ”
"But he's only twelve years old......" Shen Wuyan looked at Gao Gong dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "I don't agree with ...... at this time"
Gao Gong was silent for a moment, but he didn't want to argue with Shen Wuyan, so he said, "You say that the so-called iron-blooded prime minister...... Who is it? ”
Shen Wuyan slapped the table abruptly and said in a deep voice: "But you want to talk about the iron-blooded prime minister...... Naturally, it was the Bismarck of Germany...... However, my iron-blooded prime minister of the Ming Dynasty has someone else. ”
"Say it quickly." Gao Gong's face was obviously very anxious, and he couldn't help urging Shen Wuyan.
Shen Wuyan showed a sly smile and sighed lightly: "If you ask who this iron-blooded prime minister is...... Hehe, I don't know...... Such a person who supports the building will naturally appear when that day comes. ”
"You ......" Gao Gong took a deep breath, then exhaled, and then regained his expression and said coldly: "It's okay like this...... By that day, everyone would know who it was. ”
Shen Wuyan glanced back at the night outside the window, then got up and hugged his fists and said, "That's probably it, the wife and children at home are still waiting for dinner...... Farewell.
