Chapter 883: The Passing Years (I)

gave the deed to Shen Mo, Gao Gong waved Gao Fu out, and then asked Shen Mo to enter the study and hand over government affairs to him item by item. Each one, Gao Gong said in great detail, not only explaining the cause, but also telling Shen Mo the way to deal with it. Afraid that he would have an opinion, the old man also explained: "I found that you have the idea of fighting, but these affairs that have already begun, let's just follow the original path." Changing the course will not only cause confusion, but also create unnecessary waste. ”

"Yes......" Shen nodded silently, "You don't have to worry, you will always be my teacher when it comes to governing the country." Your policies won't change, your ideas won't be discounted, and you'll need more guidance in the future. ”

"That's not right," Gao Gong thought he was comforting, and smiled indifferently: "If the old man is all right, how can he end up like this?" Without waiting for Shen Mo to speak, he laughed first and said: "Actually, you don't need to say it, the old man has also found out where the defeat is." I'm a person who takes too much responsibility and is too dead-eyed. ”

"Hehe......" Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "You always stick to your principles, and you would rather bend than bend." ”

"You see, the same words, coming from my mouth, are so ugly. As soon as you say it, it's much more pleasing to the ear. Gao Gong laughed and said: "These days, I have calmed down to review the fight. I believe that the fight is indeed unjust. Keep saying that we must keep pace with the times and change through power. However, after the death of the first emperor, I actually had no backer, but I did not consider flexibility, and always thought that evil could not prevail over good, and as long as justice and truth were in hand, I would definitely win; As a result, I went all the way to the dark and completely fell into the big pit dug by others right under my nose."

"The problem is that you clearly found out which path others dug a trap," Shen Mo also sighed and said: "But I think this path is the right way, I must take the right path, jump in and jump in, the big deal is that I just die, and I will fall into the villain's calculations, which is really deplorable." ”

"yes, didn't you say that? Character determines destiny. Gao Gong stroked his gray beard a little gloomy, and said: "My temper is really not political material." In the past, when the first emperor was here, I relied on his protection and went on a rampage, right? If you don't win, you really think you're going to fight the world, right? Enemy. Saying that, he sighed and said: "I always thought that I was sheltering the first emperor, but I found out that it was the opposite. ”

"Yuan Weng, you are good at seeking a country and clumsy at seeking a career," Shen Mo said emotionally: "But now, there is no need for you to seek a career, why don't you stay and continue to take the helm of Daming, I will escort you, and you don't have to worry about those ghosts and ghosts......"

"Hehe......" Gao Gong smiled with satisfaction, and twisted his beard and said: "My woman, you are telling the truth." But I don't have the face to leave ...... anymore."

"You don't have to think about those ......rumors," Shen said in silence.

"Zi said, sixty ears are smooth. The old man is sixty this year, so he naturally doesn't care about those. Gao Gong smiled proudly, and then said bitterly: "Naturally, you can also be cheeky and lie in the cabinet." But that's not good for you. There are many fools in this world, but those who can get out of the way are not fools. Everyone found that although the decree was characterized as an edict, it was the meaning of the two palaces. Otherwise, why so far, the two queen mothers have not made a consolation decree? ”

"Yes." nodded silently and said bitterly: "Empress Dowager Li wants to find a place to get back, so naturally she refuses to make an order." ”

"So, now it's different from the second year of Longqing, when I could shelter you from the wind and rain, but now I can only give you the wind and rain." Gao Gong sighed and said, "Do you want to make some front?" The feat of the ancients came, and you have to come to the fore after all and express your heart. If the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, it will not be done, this is the truth. ”

"Hmm." Shen nodded his head and smiled heartily: "Yes, I used to always feel that I should not ascend to the position of Shousuke, because it is like climbing, once you reach the top, you will go up, right?" The road can be walked, but it can only go downhill. ”

"And once you sit in this position, you become the target of public criticism." Gao Gong smiled: "How many people are always staring at you, just waiting for you to make a mistake, and if you don't make a mistake, they will spread rumors for you." You will believe that there are enemies everywhere, and there is no end to them, and it is forgivable to become a psychopath like me......" The two laughed for a while, and he said solemnly: "But you still have to be responsible, and you have to be good." Hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, how many of them can have the opportunity to make white paper for thousands of miles and let your pen go? If you can do one or two things, you won't live in vain in this life. ”

"Especially your term, it's really a big scene unseen in a thousand years." High arch isn't it? Yan Mu said: "I just can't stand this temptation, so I will rush to launch "Chen Wushi Shu" first, and then want to win Feng Bao's." It is to unify the power of affairs and play it without hindrance. Saying that, he glared at him and said silently: "I can't imagine that you are a bear child cheaply for nothing."

"It's up to now." Talking to Gao Gong is like drinking spirits, how can you be happy? Shen smiled happily: "I don't know what Xuan Gong taught me?" ”

"That depends on what you want to do...... Gao Gong said abruptly, and stared at Shen silently.

Under Gao Gong's fierce scrutiny, he asked silently and unhurriedly: "What does Xuan Gong want to achieve in "Chen Wushi Shu"? ”

"I said, take the power back to the cabinet, and let the eunuchs cool off."

"You actually received the right of the celebrant to approve the red," Shen Mo shook his head and said, "The right to make decisions in a country, right?" Instead of voting and approving red, you let the cabinet monopolize it, even the prime minister of the previous dynasty did not have so much power. He said with a faint smile and said, "Where is the emperor again?" ”

"The emperor naturally concentrates on his studies," Gao Gong said, "to prepare for becoming a wise monarch." ”

"The emperor will always grow up one day," said silently: "When the time comes, will you hand over the power back?" ”

"What is this......" Gao Gong was a little embarrassed, after all, there were some words that could only be said badly. But after all, it was he who forced him to be silent first, so he no longer concealed it: "Of course not, the so-called Holy Son of Heaven rules vertically, in fact, hundreds of officials perform their duties, are responsible to the cabinet, and then the cabinet is responsible to the emperor, so as to maintain the emperor's always wise and correct image." ”

Under the gaze of the silent blazing eyes, he had no choice but to surrender and tell the truth: "Okay, in fact, in the two hundred years since the founding of the country, the administrative system of the imperial court, that is, the civil official system, has matured, and even if the emperor does not care about political affairs, it can maintain the operation of the country well. Therefore, what the Ming Dynasty needs now is not a dictatorial Ming monarch like the second ancestor, which will inevitably plunge the country into chaos because of the struggle for power between the monarch and the minister. What the Ming Dynasty needs now is a master of the order like Xiaozong and the first emperor, and they only need to be the representatives of the Mandate of Heaven, right? For the major military affairs decided by the law, it is enough to make a final ruling, right? You need to do the daily chores. Hongzhi Zhongxing and Longqing New Deal have proven the perfection of this distribution of power, but the unwritten son is fragile after all, but whenever there is a ** emperor like Shimiao, this balance will be broken and the country will be a mess. So what I want to do is to distribute this kind of power to the culture, and then in time, even the emperor can't go back. ”

"That's what I thought, too." Shen Mo laughed.

"You're going to play tricks with me," Gao Gong scolded with a smile, and said, "So what are you going to do next?" ”

"Establish rules," Shen Mo said with a frank look on his face: "Just like you said, set up all kinds of rules, and then force these rules to be enforced for ten years, and see who can go back"

"It's not that simple," Gao Gong Zhengse said: "Don't learn Wang Anshi, you have to be in awe of the ancestors' methods, study and study carefully, you will believe that the ancestors are actually quite cute." ”

"That's how I feel, too." Shen Mo smiled and nodded.

"Jiangnan ......" Gao Gong sighed deeply and said: "I was prepared to add a thousand cuts to the infamy of the ages, so I decided to take this road." Now it's good, I escaped halfway, but the burden is on your shoulders. He expressed deep concern and said: "No one has walked this road, the front is black, and the cliffs on both sides, if you are not careful, you will die, right?" The place of burial. ”

"What did Xuan Gong teach me?" Shen Mo looked at him fixedly.

"When it comes to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, I am not as good as you." Gao Gong said word by word: "But as a woman, when you embark on this road, you can't have the slightest selfishness." Only standing, right? can be blamed, in order to stand firm and go far. The most unfortunate is like Wang Jingchuan Gong, even if he is defeated, he will not be ruined. ”

"Yes." Shen Mo nodded heavily, indicating that he remembered it in his heart.

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

After the completion of the transaction, he did not go away like other Zhishi officials, but set off the next day without stopping...... And the return date set by the imperial court for him was two days later. This is to avoid the sending of hundreds of officials.

In his opinion, it is really not a glorious thing for the head of the hall to step down in such a way, what is the reason for showing that eye in front of hundreds of officials? So he took his old wife and rode in an ox cart, wearing cloth clothes and hats, right? Pull, right? Hang, go to the country freely. All the way to the autumn wind, thousands of miles of yellow dust. Who knows you?

waited until the day of the farewell of the hundred officials, only to believe that Gao Lao had already left the ground of the capital, and he could only be disappointed in the sky, and it seemed that he could hear a heroic voice of Yan Zhao, singing loudly:

'Weiwu ** Zhao Sun and Moon, across the nine years of the Diendi. Rui Zhi Kuang shouldered a big responsibility, and Qi Ting re-entered Huanyao Zhang. Five winds and ten rains swept away, and seafarers still said that the Silk Road was long. If you have the mighty air to drain the clouds, you will borrow the blue sky for another 500 years'

Gao Gong left, and Shen automatically replaced the first assistant. It took only 17 years for the 35-year-old champion of Jiajing to ascend to the throne of the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty and become the de facto ruler of the empire. This year, he was only thirty-six years old......

The reason for this, in addition to Shen Ge's old wisdom and martial arts, and his official fortune is prosperous, there is also a very important reason, that is, he is in a struggle, right? In the fierce era -- since the beginning of the first year of Jiajing, the cabinet has become a ring, and only the first assistant has 14 people and 24 people, including Yang Tinghe, Jiang Mian, Mao Ji, Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing, Zhang Xuan, Zhai Luan, Fang Xianfu, Li Shi, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, and Gao Gong. If you deduct Yan Song's fifteen years in power, the average tenure of each chief assistant is only one and a half years. The change of cabinet members under it is even more intense, right? Compare, how many talents in the world have not been paid for their ambitions, and how many geniuses' brains are all wasted in intrigue?

It must be admitted that it is thanks to the dizzying personnel changes that Shen Mo can sit in the position of first assistant at such an age, which is his luck. At the same time, however, such frequent successions of government have left the country's policies without continuity, and the prime minister's authority has been greatly diminished by inconsistencies...... Officials don't even notice how long you will be prime minister before stepping down, and naturally they are just perfunctory and waiting to see your jokes.

This phenomenon, Gao Gong reversed most of it, because he let the hundred officials find out that as long as Emperor Longqing is in one day, he will fight, right? Enemy. He is also the secretary of the ministry, if anyone is not obedient, he can only roll up the cover and get out. That's why we can change the atmosphere in just a few years. However, the sudden death of the first emperor and the fall of the elder Gao Ge also made the officials see the opportunity to cheat and play tricks again, and the trend that was easily reversed was about to take a sharp turn for the worse.

Therefore, the top priority of silence is to immediately calm down the impetuous people's hearts, let them recognize the situation, and although the first assistant has been replaced, they do not want to go back to the past. He did this with little effort. Because everyone's eyes are bright - he, the first assistant, has a front in his hand, right? The great power of the ancients could not be compared even to the prime ministers of the Han and Tang dynasties.

Gao Gong left, Zhang Juzheng also began to soak in the sick number for a long time, and there was no one in the cabinet who could choke with him. The major and minor affairs of the court were all handled by him, and after the approval, they were sent to the celebrant to copy and seal...... After Feng Bao's incident, the right of the celebrant to approve the red and the right to stay in the middle has been completely deprived; The emperor is still young and can basically be ignored, and the "Female Commandments" written by the Empress Dowager Li has been published nationwide, so she is naturally embarrassed to interfere in politics. So he can do whatever he wants, and it's up to him to decide.

At this time, as long as the ministers can get some benefits, don't let them think that you want to **, basically no one will dare to make trouble. Therefore, Lord Shoufu officially informed the yamen in the form of a court mail, saying that my teacher's 'three returns' are really not wrong, and it will also be my governing strategy in the future.

The so-called three returnees -- return the lord with blessings, return the ministers with government affairs, and repay the public with rewards for punishment

This is a clear plan to make a fortune together, and the officials are very happy. But there are also many people who are worried that he will abandon the set of high arches and return to the old era of Xu Ge. This worry did not last long before it dissipated, because the focus of the Shen cabinet's work was on the implementation of the decrees that had not been implemented in the Gaogong period.

The most important thing is, of course, "Chen Wushishu"-

Partition -

Actually, you don't have to worry about me being lazy or something, to put it bluntly, if I don't write for a day, I won't have any money for a day, which is more uncomfortable for a thirty-year-old man than killing me. In fact, today, my waist is still sore for a while, and after writing this, it is like it is broken. But if you can persevere, you won't stop.
