Chapter 134 Public Opinion Gathering Momentum (Part [-])
"Promote me?" Liu Ting's face was full of astonishment: "Father, I have always followed you to fight, how could it be his turn to support me? Besides, he is so young, he probably has never even passed the exam, so he won What supports me?"

A look of loneliness flashed across Liu Xian's face, and then he pulled himself together and said, "He has no official position, but if you think he is incapable of supporting you, you are wrong."

Liu Ting frowned, and asked, "Father, what do you mean, he said something nice for me in front of Mr. Gao Ge?"

Who knew that Liu Xian shook his head and sighed: "What kind of status are you, worthy of Mr. Gao Ge's concern? Let alone you, even if you are a father, you may not be so concerned by Mr. Gao Ge."

Liu Ting was a little puzzled, but more out of resentment, he asked, "Why? My father has been fighting for so many years, and he is one of the three famous generals of the Southern Army. Official, you are only from the second grade, how dare you underestimate your father?"

From Liu Xianguan to Dudu Tongzhi, he was a first-rank official, so Liu Ting said this.

"What's the significance of the essay?" Liu Xian waved his hand: "Nowadays, it's no different than Hongwu and Yongle years, when Wenguiwu was inferior for a long time, don't say that Gaoge Lao enjoys the respect of the emperor's teacher and Zaifu. Who dares to be disrespectful? Don't let others talk about it. You just mentioned the three famous generals of the Southern Army. You know that among Yu and Qi Yu's father, Qi Nantang, who has the most successful official career, is supported by Mr. Zhang Ge in the court. How do you sign the letters you write?"

Liu Ting was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This... how did my son know?"

"Qi, a young dog under the door, bowed his head and worshiped again." Liu Xian said expressionlessly: "I suffered a lot from this as a father, and he is no better than Qi Nantang who can bear the humiliation... Fortunately, there is Yu Xujiang as the father. The difference seems to be that a pair of suffering brothers and sisters have been robbed, smeared, or even framed for their lives all year round."

Liu Ting was tongue-tied: "Qi Nantang, a famous general in the world, why is he so self-deprecating? Why?"

"Why is that so?" Liu Xian sighed, "That's a good question, as a father, I also want to ask, why is there such a distinction between high and low among civil and military people, why is this so!"

The so-called military is used to stabilize the country, and culture is used to stabilize the country;The two ways of civil and military should not be neglected, but throughout the dynasties, civil and military have never been completely equal.Looking at the annals of history, you may feel that there are many people who are promoted as generals and dismounted as ministers. However, such people with both civil and military skills are always in the minority. Therefore, countries always distinguish between civil servants and military generals, and the relationship between civil and military affairs is the same in most periods. Not very harmonious.

After the civil engineering change in the Ming Dynasty, the situation of the nobles and the cheapest in the Hongwu and Yongle periods was quickly overturned. Not to mention the heavy casualties of the noble and military officials group itself, even the new emperor was supported by civil officials, and the city of Beijing was also guarded by civil officials (Yu Qian) Yes, what is the face of you military officials who claim to be the mainstay of the country?

Once the system of advocating civil and deposing military is formed, the communication system between civil and military will change accordingly. For example, the positions of general and deputy general must also be dispatched by the Ministry of War.In other words, many of the positions of commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief are no longer obtained by military exploits, but by virtue of success.According to the regulations of the system, in order to inherit the shadow of their ancestors, these military officers had to deal with the civilian officials of the Ministry of War and the Military Division.For example, generals and deputy generals handed over to the Ministry of War and military officials' manuscripts, and those who paid attention to their status would call themselves "young people under the family";As for the garrison and the commander-in-chief, presents were given to the Secretary Office of the Ministry of War, and in the gift cards, "Mu En was born late" and so on were written in small characters.

Generals who are at the top of the ranks must wear military uniforms, hold a knife in their left hand, bow and arrow in their right hand, handkerchief head and hakama boots, and go to court even if their ranks are very different.As for the door form on it for civil servants, they call themselves "running dogs".After resigning, he even had to talk to Jia Ding, the confidant of the civil servant, so as not to be mistaken for arrogance.

This is not an individual phenomenon, but a general trend.For example, in the current Longqing Dynasty, the magistrates, county magistrates, and general soldiers can all resist courtesy when they meet.The same is probably true for dealing with participating generals and guerrilla generals.

What's more, when the tribute students, supervisors, and students interact with Wu Bian, even if the other party is the chief soldier, they only vote for the famous post of "serving and teaching students", and don't easily use the post of "late students".After that, it goes without saying to meet the generals and guerrillas.

This is already the case with the real military attaches such as the chief soldier, deputy general, general, and guerrilla, and the military attaches of the local military guards are even more sluggish.The commander of the guard went to visit the magistrate, and he must call him "Entang", and he dared not resist at all.

It can be seen from this that Liu Xian has finally learned to be good after so many years of suffering, while Liu Ting is still too young...

"Well, even if what father said is reasonable, how can father see that Mr. Gao intends to support me?"

Liu Xian explained: "Liu Zhongcheng's text to the cabinet was very simple and did not elaborate at all, so how do you think the tea doctor in this teahouse knows the inside story?"

Liu Ting was stunned: "But what the tea doctor said is not right at all."

Liu Xian sneered, and said: "There are some mistakes in the details, but we met Mr. Gao by chance, Mr. Gao was besieged by thieves, Cao Gan fell into your hands in the end, and so on. Are these all right?"

"What does father mean?" Liu Ting looked a little dazed.

Liu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Obviously, someone released this story on purpose. As for who released it... Besides Mr. Gao, is there anyone else? You didn't realize that this story is basically the same as Is the story we negotiated with Mr. Gao almost exactly the same?"

Only then did Liu Ting suddenly realize, but he was a little curious immediately, and asked, "But why did Mr. Gao release these news? He can influence the imperial palace newspaper?"

"He doesn't need to affect the residence newspaper." Liu Xian pointed out to his son: "As Gao Ge's old man, whether he is in the General Administration Department or the Sixth Division, there must be someone for him. Mr. Gao only needs to make this matter known to him. Talk to the Secretary of General Administration and the Gaoge elders in the six departments, and let them spread the word on their behalf."

At this point, Liu Xian saw that his son was still a bit skeptical, so he continued to explain to him: "This Zhaoji teahouse is going to use the mansion newspaper to make a fuss, so there must be some connections in the Department of General Administration or the Sixth Division, because it needs to analyze the inside story for the tea drinkers. They will also try their best to find out the story behind each message. In this way, the story that Mr. Gao asked someone to spread on his behalf will naturally be inquired by Zhao Ji Tea House, and then it will be said from Dr. Tea's mouth."

"Oh, so that's the case." Liu Ting finally understood, but he immediately had a new question: "But why did Mr. Gao do this? Doing this...doesn't it bother him?"
