Chapter 770: Long Live Sleeping at Night (Part I)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The sound of the high arch like wind and thunder shook the hall and made the officials speechless for a long time.

He summed up the 'eight evils' so well, and ruthlessly, he completely uncovered the glamorous painting skin of today's officialdom, which is sure to be Confucian and Mencius, and is sanctimonious. What is revealed is the abscess-riddled and ugly truth. In fact, which of the officials present does not know? Which one doesn't know? It's just in response to Hai Rui's words - everyone knows it, but everyone doesn't say it

Not only did he not say anything, but because he exposed it too ruthlessly and ruthlessly, he was very disgusted with Gao Gong, thinking that he was pretending to be amazing, but in fact, he was just referring to Sang scolding Huai, and criticizing Lord Yuanfu in front of Xinjun

"Is it interesting that Gao Ge Lao said that?" Immediately, there was Yu Shi He Yishang, and he mocked loudly: "The eight evils you said are indeed true, but first, how can they be so serious, and second, since it is a habit, which can you say to change it?" Isn't it a big move, is there anything more difficult in the world than changing habits? I think what Ge Lao is best at is just empty talk" because he participated in the 'New Year's Day kneeling' and squatted in prison...... Although I didn't eat the cane, I regretted it a little, but I still felt that the cost was very large; And because they were able to be released from prison and reinstated, it was all due to Xu Jie, so He Yushi was very grateful for the kindness of Lord Shoufu, and immediately stood up with Gao Gong, and his tone was quite rushing

Gao Gong didn't take him seriously, and sneered: "What do you know about a hammer, dare to talk like this to this seat"

"You ......" why is he extremely aggrieved, but according to the rules, he really can't refute the auxiliary ministers in person, and if he has an opinion, he must send it to the Minister of Communications in the form of a recital. In the Yan Song era, this article was strictly enforced, and then the General Administration Department was controlled by Zhao Wenhua, so it caused the blockage of heavenly hearing. After Xu Jie came to power, he learned the lesson of Yan Song's disaster to the country, and paid great attention to protecting his words. The officials also gave a little sunshine and became vibrant.

Especially after the baptism of the 'kneeling incident', their momentum is more sufficient, three days before the beginning of the new monarch's dynasty, the officials and departments gave Hu Yingjia and others in the matter, and they wrote and said: "Before the examination, the acting prime minister will be promoted to the court, and the officials will be followed, and the system of the national dynasty will make the six departments take turns to record the holy decree in the palace, and cover the will of the previous generation." Begging for the grand old classics, after the court meeting, will be ordered to follow the way, where there is disloyalty, listen to their faces, or retreat to participate in the discussion. "Xu Jie has always attached great importance to the official, so he planned to say: 'Allow him to go to court with the class, and all those below the second grade can face the right and wrong, and the above will retreat to the discussion.'" That is to say, at the court meeting, the speech officials can impeach the three or four officials who speak inappropriately in the court, while the scholars and Jiuqing Zhengtang make mistakes, they can only go back to write the book and go through the process of impeachment.

Now Gao Gong is blocking them with this, and the officials are really suffocated, but Xu Jie, over there, spoke, and said: "The official is the official, what is the official if you can't say something?" Since the first emperor allowed Kedao to go to the court, he allowed them to speak in the court. Gao Ge Lao, we should encourage them to speak freely, not not let them speak, do you say? ”

Gao Gong snorted and said: "National affairs, how can ignorant juniors understand?" ”

"Hehe......" Xu Jie said with a smile on his face, "But the old man also thinks so." The eight evils mentioned by Gao Ge Lao do exist, but it seems that they are far less serious than you said, right? ”

"Just like what the official said, these eight evils 'have no trace of dyeing and infinite changes', so that Daming was infected, but he didn't know the end of it, and he couldn't say it. This does not mean that the disadvantages are still light, but more worrying. Gao Gong calmly said: "Because of people's diseases, if the disease is tangible, then it can be reasoned; But if it is a sick disease, it is difficult to speak, then the daily life, if there is no problem, it will accumulate for a long time, the disease is very deep, this Lu Bian is afraid to say a doctor, and the husband still thinks that he is fine. ”

This was said elegantly, but he still did not shy away from putting the questioner into the column of 'waiting for leisure and ordinary people', which made the wrinkles that Xu Jie had just stretched out tightened. Lei Li laughed and said, "So, Gao Ge Lao is better than Bian Que, he can live the dead and medicine white bones?" ”

"The doctor has a prescription for purifying the intestines and stomach," Gao Gong said confidently: "And the good ruler has the skill of cutting out the beetle and the traitor, but he knows that although the 'eight evils' are deep, there are still big things to do, and the key is whether the person in charge can make up his mind to do it" It can be seen that Gao Ge Lao also understands the art of speaking, always grasps the topic, and no one can run away.

"Tell me about it?" Seeing that he didn't pick up his stubble, Lei Li was a little annoyed.

"Actually, there is nothing mysterious" Gao Gong said loudly: "There is no forgiveness for the husband and dance, so there is no forgiveness for being greedy and abiding by the law, so there is no forgiveness for cleaning up the filth and customs" paused, and his voice was even louder: "If you are loyal and thick, you will be mean; Those who reward the righteous will compete for the rest; The nuclear curriculum is dethroned; The common house is divided by the party comparison; If the trial of merit and crime is reluctant, there is no tolerance; The nuclear facts are superficial and there is nothing to suffer" said Emperor Longqing with a deep salute, and said in a voice like thunder: "Your Majesty, the minister has already suggested in the recital: 'According to the implementation of these eight laws, those who can stand on their own and get rid of their old habits will be rewarded and those who are still practicing will be rewarded, and those who will be punished and retreated will make people return to the Tao and dare not have a hindrance, and the eight evils can be eliminated. ’”

"This is the cure for the eight evils." Gao Gong turned towards Xu Jie, towards the hundred officials, and said with a pure feeling: "As long as we can follow this way, get rid of the big beetle on the patient of Daming, and then slowly recuperate, we will be able to gradually heal and eliminate the eight evils, then everything will be self-lifting, and Daming will eventually be restored to strength."

His self-confidence, permeated in the Imperial Palace, deeply infected many people, everyone is a long-time veteran, would not be easily moved by people's rhetoric, but Gao Gong's tirade, the analysis of the situation has a source, that is, to point out the chronic disease, but also very targeted to put forward corrective methods, so that many people in the appreciation, but also this seemingly bold tall beard impressed - this person seems to have the talent to save the time

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Silence was one of them, he had wanted to marry this person secretly, but it was only from a matter of scheming, but now, he found that he had to get to know this person again, because if this high arch could really combine knowledge and action, even if only half of his rhetoric was turned into reality, it would be enough to form a good complement to himself.

Shen Mo has a clear understanding of himself, and his strengths lie in power and calculation, in the way of dealing with people, and in having a clear and profound understanding of the contradictions that exist in reality, which is the advantage he has brought to officials in his two lives. But because of this, there is also a common problem of old bureaucrats -- just like Xu Jie, he is only willing to be gracious and does not want to grudge with others

In this life, he has been out of office for more than ten years, and the most serious thing he has done is not to open the sea or encourage industry and commerce, but to seize every opportunity to make friends. To give the most obvious example, at the age of seventeen, when he was ordered to inspect coastal defense, he had a great deal of friendship with a large number of civilian and military generals, including rough people like Tang Kekuan, corrupt officials like Zhao Wenhua, Confucian generals like Tan Lun, and high-ranking officials like Zhang Jing. What's even more incredible is that there are some of them who look down on each other, or even hate each other, but without exception, they all regard him as a friend, and when Shen Clumsy Yan is mentioned, none of them can say a 'no'.

In fact, his secret is very simple, but it is 'full of spring breeze, harmony and wealth', 'treat others with oneself and do what they like', 'rather suffer losses than grudges', 'forgive others and forgive others', 'do things well when you have more friends', some of the necessary philosophies of officialdom are understood by everyone, but there are few who can really do it.

Because people always have to go through a process of being strong in blood and strength, rather than bending, to maturity and sophistication, and the appearance is clear, often when they are young, they think they are outstanding, and they bow their heads in front of reality when they are old, but they have wasted their good times and have no capital for success.

But silence is not, he is the second person, and he has gone through life again, although the two lives have been separated by five hundred years, but they are all official careers, and naturally there is no difference. It is precisely because he has understood the way of behaving in the world early on and has always implemented it that he can rise to the top in the officialdom and be proud......

If he is only satisfied with being a successful bureaucrat, then he is really perfect, but he is not an official for the sake of being an official, and he is tired of the deceitful officialdom in his last life. Life is short, plain is true, if it weren't for that damn sense of mission, he would choose to plow, study, do business, travel in the mountains and forests, do nothing, but live this life happily and truly.

But he just knew that at this great turning point in history, which nation could take the right path, it would be able to leap to heaven, and it would still enjoy this glory five hundred years later; Whoever falls behind in this competition will inevitably fall into hell until 500 years later, and will still pay the price for it - so he has to sacrifice himself on the altar of history. From then on, I can only press my own things in my heart, and climb and climb for that unattainable goal, in this filthy and hypocritical officialdom......

The process of reaching the summit does not need to be taught, and the instinct of a bureaucrat is enough to deal with it.

The question is what to do after reaching the top? Should we continue to enforce the old standards of life? It's just that in that case, I'm afraid to achieve the limit is Xu Ge's second...... Although Shen Mo has a lot of opinions about this teacher, in his heart, he deeply thinks that this Weng is the most proficient official in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even in thousands of years, and there are too many things worth learning from himself.

But Shen Mo also knows very well that even if Xu Jie dominates the political struggle, it does not mean that he is the appropriate leader of this superpower - although he has risen to a high position below one person, in the official system of **, the one who climbs to a high position and controls the authority of the state is not necessarily the best politician. It is even possible that he is just a master of power, or even a mediocre bureaucrat.

Being able to sit in this position and being competent are two different things -- how can the country's economy, people's livelihood, and military be coordinated? Where does the systemic disease come from? How to remove ** to decay and vibrate laziness? The best politicians must know all this and have the best steps to plan and achieve it in a reasonable way.

The administrative bureaucrats, on the other hand, only know how to deal with interpersonal relationships, and when it comes to how to maintain favors, how to install cronies, how to form cliques, and how to fight openly and secretly, they are naturally a good player, but unfortunately, this is also all their skills. If such an administrative bureaucrat is at the helm of a large country, the result will certainly be super stable, but a big ship like the Ming Dynasty, which is poor and weak, full of internal and external troubles, and sails in the long river of history full of reefs and forks, means that it is gradually sinking, which means that it may run aground and sail into a fork in the road of history.

This is where the anxiety of Shen Mo lies, because he has not yet left the realm of the administrative bureaucracy, and does not know how to complete this vital metamorphosis. Now seeing Gao Gong, he suddenly feels hopeful, observe this person well, learn from him modestly, it will definitely be effective.

For the first time, Shen Mo put away his prejudice against Gao Gong's lack of fighting skills, and began to respect the bearded man......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This early dynasty was extremely lengthy, and it was almost noon, and the ministers were still in high spirits one after another, but Emperor Longqing could no longer support it, and he was already hungry and had a sore back. At some point, his upper body was already leaning back in the chair, as if he was slumped on the couch. The emperor looked straight at the ministers below, who were old enough to be his father, but still energetic, red-faced and thick-necked, and wailed in his heart: "No wonder my father has not been in court for decades, it turns out that it is such a torment......

Or Xu Ge Lao saw that the emperor was speechless, and he looked very tired, so he said: "The emperor is tired, let's come here first, I don't have time to put on the book, the General Administration Department will collect it, and send it to the emperor later." ”

The ministers were still unsatisfied, but when they saw that the emperor really couldn't support it, they handed over the book in their hands in a daze, and then under the command of the officials of Honglu Temple, they sent the emperor to retire from the court.

Lieban walked out of the Imperial Palace, and the great eunuch Meng Chong of the Qiandi came over, walked in front of Gao Gong first, and said, "Gao Ge Lao stays, the emperor is invited." He walked up to Shen Mo again and said, "Master Shen, you are also invited." The two hurriedly responded, and then went out of the team, and in the envious and jealous eyes of the officials, they came to the Xinuan Pavilion next to the Qianqing Palace.

When he arrived at the door of the warm pavilion, he stood silently, because this is a forbidden place, and according to the rules, foreign ministers are not allowed to trespass, at least they have to wait for Meng Chong to talk about it......

Gao Gong was about to step in, but when he saw him standing, he had to stop abruptly. Meng Chong invited them in, but he smiled silently and said, "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”

"Then, okay......" Although Meng Chong responded, he felt in his heart that he was doing too much.

When the eunuch walked away, Gao Gong suddenly whispered: "Jiangnan is really cautious." ”

Shen Mo chuckled and whispered, "What kind of place is this?" How many eyes are staring? Could it be that the elder wants to provide shells for the opponent? ”

The sentence of silence is obviously not a matter of facts, but another warning. Gao Gong is such a smart person, his heart tightened when he heard this, and he said with shame: "Thank you Jiangnan for reminding me, I really can't Meng Lang." He couldn't help but think that the first emperor was seriously ill last month, and he went in and out of Xiyuan every day, did things with Concubine Teng, and took home the personal belongings in the duty room, which attracted Hu Yingjia's fatal attack. In the past, Gao Gong always thought that this was because Xu Jie's eyes were not pleasing to his eyes, so he instructed people to frame him, but now it seems that he obviously showed his flaws first. Flies don't bite the eggs that are not sewn, if they are blameless, then Hu Yingjia has nowhere to go even if he wants to frame them.

Although it is just a simple sentence or two of dialogue, the relationship between the two is invisibly much closer.

After a while, Meng Chongfu came out again to invite in, and the two followed him into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and as soon as they entered, they saw a large blackboard plaque hanging high on the wall facing him, with four thin and elegant characters on it, which were obviously the handwriting of the first emperor.

Under the plaque is a long row of large bookshelves, on which there are many books and volumes, and no one has turned them over for thirty years. A few days ago, the weather was fine, and I had just been carefully cleaned and suned, waiting for the new owner to come and read it.

In front of the bookshelf were a few huge cases, but Emperor Longqing did not sit behind the case, but lay on a gold wire rocking chair covered with bright yellow soft cushions, and when he saw the two people coming in, the emperor smiled tiredly and said: "The two gentlemen are here, I am tired, and I really don't have the strength to get up." ”

The two of them said 'panic' one after another, and the emperor pointed to the two cases that he had placed in his hand and said: "This early dynasty is really boiling people's bone marrow, the two gentlemen are hungry, let's talk while eating." ”

The two thanked them again, and then walked to the back of the two long sheets, and sat down.

After sitting down, Gao Gong comforted the emperor and said: "The ministers have been holding back for decades, and it is inevitable that they will be excited, it is not the norm, don't worry about the emperor." ”

Longqing looked at his master Gao with some amusement, and said in his heart that you are the happiest. Of course, he wouldn't embarrass the teacher, so he smiled and nodded, "I know......"

Two palace maids sat up with Longqing in their arms, and two more took cushions and rested behind him, so that the emperor could sit comfortably. Then the four little eunuchs held a long case and placed it firmly in front of the emperor, and the palace people who served the food were like butterflies wearing flowers, and sent all kinds of exquisite imperial meals at a flowing price.

The same meal was also placed in front of Shen Mo and Gao Gong, and after a while, the two long ones were full, and the two of them were a little dizzy when they looked at the dazzling array of dishes. It's not that they haven't seen the world...... Needless to say, Gao Gong is also the son of the eunuchs, and the work of ** is no matter how big the pomp is, he will not make a fuss.

What made it difficult for the two to accept was that when Longqing was in Yudi, even if the storage position was stable and there was no shortage of expenses, he always insisted on four dishes and one soup per meal, even if it was a New Year's holiday, it was just to add a few meat dishes. Never willing to be extravagant and wasteful, so he has always given the outside world the impression that King Yu likes to be thrifty.

How did you become like this as soon as you became the emperor? ――
