Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1550 Who is the trend

Just after the new year, as soon as all the officials in the capital returned to work, a shocking news came from the palace: Huang Mengyu, the chief eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, was suddenly ill and could not take care of things.The emperor pitied him for his decades of hard work and gave him a mansion in central Beijing with 50 taels of gold and 200 taels of silver.

At the same time, the emperor used Chen Juquan to be in charge of the Rites and Seals, and Zhang Cheng was the admiral of Dongchang.Under the imperial edict, it spread to the cabinet departments, and all kinds of rumors suddenly aroused.

As we all know, Huang Mengyu became the chief inspector of ceremonies, nominally as a person close to the former Empress Chen and later the Empress Dowager Chen, and has always carried such a title.

At that time, Empress Dowager Li also had someone close to her in the inner court, and that was Feng Bao.It's a pity that Feng Bao fell too quickly, so the emperor replaced Chen Ju with his own companion.

However, Empress Dowager Li soon had a new spokesperson for the inner court, namely Zhang Jing.However, Zhang Jing didn't enjoy himself for a long time, and soon after, he was also assigned to Nanjing Xiaolingwei, and he was regarded as a companion with Feng Bao.

At this moment, the two giants of the Sili Supervisor have firmly fallen into the hands of Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju. It has been more than ten years, even almost 20 years.

It stands to reason that Huang Mengyu is indeed not young at this time, so it is not uncommon to say that something will happen to his body.However, apart from Huang Mengyu looking a little hunched, he hadn't heard of any serious problems before. How could he suddenly have a sudden illness, and he was "returned with money" as if he couldn't afford it Woolen cloth?
Although the emperor was quite nostalgic, not only did he not dismiss him from his post, he even gave him gold and silver in the mansion, let him "retire with his post", and clearly stated that "he will return to his post after he recovers", but... is this true? ?

The position of the chief minister of ceremonies in the inner court has always been equivalent to the chief assistant of the cabinet in the outer court, and there is a particularity that cannot be truly compared to the chief assistant of the cabinet, that is, it usually does not change people for some weird reasons— —For example, the first assistant may be reinstated because of Ding You's resignation, or he may resign because of political disputes, and then the situation reverses and he takes power again.

The eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and seals is generally not affected by this kind of influence. Usually there is only one thing that can affect him, that is, the emperor's holy family.

When the holy family is in the body, the position of the palm print is as stable as a rock, and it is absolutely difficult to shake; when the holy family is no longer, the position of the palm print is like a rootless duckweed, which can be easily knocked down.Generally speaking, when one reaches the position of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, if one wants to step down, one will either die of illness or be overthrown by others, and seldom resign due to any physical reason.

However, Huang Mengyu's situation this time is particularly unique. He should have "stepped down", but he did not resign; he lost his authority, but it seems that he has not lost his family.

How is this going?

In various ministries and courtyards in Central Beijing, discussions among small circles abounded.

There is a saying that Huang Mengyu may have suffered from a sudden illness, which caused him to be unable to take care of things, but the supervisor of ceremonies is so important, and naturally the person in charge cannot be lacking, so the emperor had to act in this way.

There is a saying that Huang Mengyu himself may be fine, but the empress dowager Chen has not asked about political affairs for many years, and her influence in the harem has completely declined, so the emperor does not need to give face anymore, but wants to push his partner back then to the palm of his hand. Show the world is in my hands.

One said that it might be that after Chen Ju had been the admiral of the East Factory for more than ten years, he could no longer tolerate someone still on his head, and even his partner for many years could only be forced to give way.

However, these statements are not as heart-pounding as the other guess: Huang Mengyu was transferred from Datong guard eunuch back to the capital by means of Gao Wushi's tricks, and then miraculously promoted to the position of chief inspector of ceremonies, so Huang Mengyu's "Emeritus" actually represents the fading away of the highly pragmatic family members.

The shock caused by this rumor was so strong that many people began to discuss the countermeasures in the circle.Although the mind school couldn't talk about celebrating the crown, they also began to quietly discuss how to take advantage of this trend to regain the situation, and the real school sent people to secretly contact Gao Wushi to ask what the inside story of the matter was.

Even many neutral officials have to discuss how they should deal with it and what position and attitude they should take if there is a major change in the situation between North Korea and China.

Specifically, within the Real School, not only Zhang Xueyan and Wu Dui quickly sent people to ask for details, but even Xu Guo and Shen Li also sent people a few hours later, hoping to find out what was going on.

By this time, it seemed that all officials of the Pragmatism School, regardless of conservative or radical, had realized the importance of high pragmatism—it was just the resignation of a ceremonial inspector who was pushed forward by high pragmatism, which made them extremely nervous. s.

It seems that only in this case, they know that the position of high pragmatism cannot be shaken. Once his position is shaken, the whole school of pragmatism will be shaken.

The kind of shaking that shakes the earth.

However, at this time, Gao Yushi couldn't figure out what happened. Not only did Huang Mengyu himself not send any information before and after the event, but also Chen Ju, who was always well-informed and contacted Gao Yushi most quickly, also did not send any information.

It seems that during the few days of Chinese New Year, Gao Yushi and the inner court were suddenly cut off.

Zhang Cheng, the new admiral of the East Factory, took up his post immediately. First, he met with everyone in the East Factory.

During the interview, although Zhang Cheng only emphasized some disciplines of the Jinyiwei, he seemed to point fingers and scold Huai. There was only one meaning inside and outside the words, that is, Jinyiwei "has been perfunctory for more than ten years and has made no achievements."

Wang Zhizhen and Gao Wuben are angry, now that the world is stable, what can Jin Yiwei do?Could it be that Jin Yiwei was also to blame for Boba's rebellion because he didn't detect it in advance?

At the time of Bobai, Jin Yiwei had reminded him about his arrogance and domineering before, but the raising of troops at that time was a very sudden incident.

Before that, many of Bobay's subordinates had not received any instructions, but when the contradiction between military pay broke out, that resentment was suddenly used by Bobay and immediately rebelled and raised troops.Jin Yiwei is not a god, and it is obviously the responsibility of the local officials, so can Jin Yiwei be blamed?

Besides, now is the time when civil servants are strong, even if Jin Yiwei wants to make some big news, but there is Dongchang on top, and the emperor is on top, what are you going to do, I, Jin Yiwei, will die?

You know, even when Lu Bing was so powerful, he seldom killed civil servants. Instead, he took advantage of his and Jiajing's "one-milk compatriots (Lu Bing's mother is Jiajing's nanny)" to protect as much as possible. The civil servants in the hands of Jin Yiwei.

Lu Bing's monstrous power is not willing to fight against civil servants at will. Does the current Jin Yiwei have the guts?

However, the current situation is complicated and confusing. Wang Zhizhen and Gao Wuben also knew that Zhang Cheng had nothing to do with Gao Wushi, so they had to endure it. No matter what Zhang Cheng said, they first seemed to agree obediently.

In the evening, Gao Wushi returned to the mansion.When the news of Wang Zhizhen and Gao Wuben arrived, his complexion couldn't help being a little gloomy.Slowly getting up, he stood by the window of Rixin Building facing the direction of the harem, propped his hands on the window sill, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the glazed tile roofs of the palace halls in the night, maintaining a suffocating silence.

Huang Zhiting was originally sitting on the side, but at this time she also got up and walked over, put a fox cloak on Gao Wushi, and asked tentatively: "Master, could it be that this concubine came back to Beijing this time but didn't see the job report? ?”

Gao Wushi shook his head, and said in an extremely calm tone: "Annan is only a subordinate in name. Anyone with a discerning eye knows this well. Who stipulated that Annan's commander-in-chief is responsible for reporting to the emperor? There is no success. For example, there are no new rules, and you are only a deputy envoy."

"Really?" Huang Zhiting replied worriedly.

Gao Wushi turned his head slightly, smiled softly, and comforted him: "You don't have to worry too much, how could the emperor express dissatisfaction with you by using the seal of the dismissed chief inspector? Is there any connection between you and the official seal of the chief inspector? This The action... unless Huang Mengyu really suddenly became seriously ill, it was obviously for me to see."

Who knew that after saying this, Huang Zhiting's expression became more worried, and she said nervously: "Isn't it fine before? Even the conquest of Chahar has been pre-determined to be led by you, why did you come here all of a sudden?" one hand?
Master, there is a saying that companions are like companions of tigers. Look at the current situation... Do you want to go to southern Xinjiang? "

Gao Wushi waved his hand, gave her a comforting smile, and said, "Where did you think, do you think this is a sign that the emperor is going to do something to me?"

"Don't you mean that?"

"No." Gao Wushi shook his head indifferently, and then added: "I have been an accompanying reader for more than ten years, and the emperor has been influenced by me in many ways, and I have the confidence to say that I know him very well.

If he really wanted to attack me resolutely, he would never have made these acts of scaring the snake. Think back, whether it is Feng Bao or Zhang Jing, when I touch them, will they be aware of the danger first?Naturally impossible.This kind of thing is like a hungry tiger preying on prey. If you don't move, you will be fine, and if you move, you will kill. "

As the emperor of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Huang Zhiting is of course very clear about the habits of tigers.

Although the tiger is the king of the mountains and forests, it stands to reason that no one is afraid and can catch anyone who wants to eat. But in fact, tigers usually hunt in ambush and approach them. When they are very close, they will suddenly explode and kill with one blow. Tackle prey.

This is because the tiger is a solitary animal. Once injured, it will affect hunting and survival. Therefore, it always chooses the fastest and safest hunting method, and will never foolishly insist on proving its kingship , to fight to the death with the prey.

Huang Zhiting is well aware of the habits of tigers, so she immediately understood Gao Wushi's subtext: Gao Wushi is very powerful and powerful now, if the emperor really wants to move him, such means will only attract all parties to join forces To protect him, even he himself may take the risk, leading to great turmoil.

"Then what does the emperor mean by this, can it be seen as some kind of warning...or a reminder?" Huang Zhiting asked.

Gao Wushi did not answer immediately this time, turned his head to look in the direction of the palace, and said in a deep thought: "Perhaps the emperor is signaling me to give up some... quite sensitive power or influence."

"Is it the inner court?" Huang Zhiting frowned and said, "But the situation in the inner court has not changed much for more than ten or twenty years. Why did the emperor make such a big move suddenly this time without saying anything before, and he didn't talk to you beforehand?" mentioned?"

"Good question, this is my biggest question today." Gao Wushi frowned and said, "I've been thinking about it, and there is only one possibility, which is what I did recently that irritated the emperor."

"Recently? Recently, you have been busy with finances in the imperial court... Could it be that the move to collect financial power is too big, and the emperor feels that it is inappropriate to have all the wealth of the world in your hands?"

"This is also my biggest suspicion, but I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I don't think it looks like it. Even if there is this factor, I am afraid it is not the most important." Financial management, and know that I have always believed that financial management is a major policy in the world.

It's not that I'm pretentious, but I expect that the emperor will not think that anyone is more suitable than me when it comes to financial management. Now that financial management is important, he is unlikely to think that I have too much financial power at this time .Because no matter how important my financial power is, it is only good for him. "

"If it's not financial power, then it's the influence of the court?" Huang Zhiting thought about it: "In such a big practical school, although the master is not the leader of the party but is better than the leader of the party, but the master is not even a minister, so... the emperor is worried that the master is too powerful. , once you become an assistant minister in the future, I am afraid that you will be in danger of overshadowing the sky with one hand, does this seem to make sense?"

"Ha, is this justified?" Gao Wushi shook his head again and again: "Strict divisions in the past can be considered powerful? Xu Huating in the past can be considered powerful? Shimiao said that strict divisions are appropriate, so what if the power of strict divisions is overwhelming the world? Immediately Leave; Mu Miao has a gentle temper, but if Xu Huating is allowed to return to his hometown for the elderly, can Xu Huating just hang on?

The two of them are like this, so am I different?I am very powerful in the court, that is because everyone knows that I am the Holy Family Wushuang, this power is not mine, but the emperor's..."

Huang Zhiting was listening, when she suddenly found that Gao Wushi had lost her voice, she couldn't help being a little surprised, she glanced at him, but saw a thoughtful expression on his face, couldn't help but said: "Master?"

Gao Wushi put his hands behind his back, took a few steps and suddenly stood still, saying, "I know what's going on."

Huang Zhiting quickly asked, "How?"

"My power is not just relying on the emperor's power."

Gao Yushi frowned deeply, and said slowly: "Perhaps, if I just rely on the holy family, it doesn't matter if I am domineering, and it doesn't matter if I take power by myself, but many of my current powers are my own power... ...The emperor is probably worried about losing control."

The window paper was punctured, Huang Zhiting immediately reacted and asked, "Then what should I do?"
