Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 567
Gao Wushi and Wu Dui had a family banquet for a drink. There was also a family banquet at the home of Shen Shixing, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and there were very few people entertaining them.

"Enxiang, the high-level practical matter has been completed today, and the student asked him to edit it."

It was Chen Siyu who said this. Chen Siyu was a Jinshi in 44 in Jiajing. Row.

However, in fact, although Shen Shixing was his room teacher, he was one year younger than him.However, the rules and traditions are here, and "enxiang" is still called.

"It's well arranged." Shen Shixing said with a smile on his face, "For high-level matters, you must arrange them properly, so that anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are taking care of him."

Chen Siyu was surprised and said: "This... dare to ask Enxiang, why is this? Could it be that Enxiang and Mr. Guo Ge and Mr. Zhang Ge..."

Shen Shixing smiled, and interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Hey, what does it have to do with them? They are the school of practical learning, and we are the school of mind learning. The cabinet does not quarrel every day like it did in previous years. Either you leave today, or I will leave tomorrow , this is considered very good, it is the result of everyone's mutual restraint, what does it have to do with Gao Qiuzhen?"

"If that's the case, then why do you deliberately take care of Gao Qiuzhen?" Chen Siyu saw that Shen Shixing didn't call Gao Yushi by his name directly, so he quietly changed his title.

Shen Shixing smiled and said: "Is Gao Qiu really a high party?"

Chen Siyu was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Who else is he?"

"No, no." Shen Shixing smiled gently: "He is an imperial party."

"Emperor Party?" Chen Siyu was extremely surprised.

"Of course." Shen Shixing explained with a smile: "Gao Wenzheng was actually an imperial party back then. Although he was the leader of the Gao party, the Gao party was not a complete imperial party; the same is true for Gao Qiuzhen now. Perhaps many people regard him as the most likely new leader of the Gao Party in the future, but he himself is always the Emperor Party. You must be able to distinguish this point."

However, Chen Siyu was bewildered by Enxiang, and he looked puzzled, not knowing how to answer.

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Renfu, let me ask you this: when Mr. Gao Wenzheng took the examination of the teaching method, was it just us Xinxue disciples who were unlucky? Didn't anyone in the Gao Party get unlucky because of the examination of the teaching method?"

"This...should be there too." Chen Siyu was not sure.He has been in the three yamen of the Hanlin Academy, Zhan Shifu, and Guozijian for these years, and he is not particularly familiar with the places where the examination method is the most serious and the specific personnel changes in the central real power yamen.

"It's not supposed to be, it's affirmative." Shen Shixing emphasized: "Among the officials who were demoted or dismissed because of the examination method, there are not many people with high party background than us. If you have to use Gao Wenzheng's examination method If he sees it as a blow to us, then he will kill the enemy and lose eight hundred, so some people regard the test method as the high party's suppression of our heart and learning, and I have always disagreed with it."

Chen Siyu thoughtfully said: "What Enxiang means is that Gao Gong did this purely for the sake of the emperor?"

Shen Shixing was silent for a while, nodded and said: "It can be understood in this way. Mr. Gao Wenzheng probably really believed that the examination method can correct and reverse the corruption and mediocrity in the administration of officials."

"But that set is too utilitarian." Chen Siyu shook his head and said: "Students have heard people say that Gao Wenzheng's set is to believe that there are no gentlemen in the world. Some people even put it more directly, they said that Gao Wenzhenggong's examination The teaching method is basically to force officials all over the world to be villains."

Shen Shixing waved his hands and said: "Their practical studies are also of the Confucian school, so they can't say that they don't want the way of a gentleman. It's just that Mr. Gao Wenzheng is serious in his actions, and he only wants to see actual results in a short period of time, but he ignores the cultivation of morale. Success and cleanliness of official style cannot be accomplished in one day, but scholars of our generation need to reflect on ourselves all the time. This is the reason why I advocate lectures from the same line of thought..."

As he spoke, he probably felt that he was going too far, coughed lightly, changed the topic back, and said, "Renfu, I just said that the uncle and nephew of the Gao family are the imperial party, which is to distinguish them from the Gao party... Then do you know why I make such a distinction?"

Chen Siyu just couldn't understand this, so he said sincerely immediately: "Students don't know, please enlighten me."

"You are being too polite." Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Although I am your room teacher, I am only one subject earlier than you. You and I don't need to be so particular."

"Fame is very important, students dare not overstep it." Chen Siyu said seriously.

"Okay, okay, it's up to you." Shen Shixing waved his hand, and got down to business: "The reason for the distinction is that no matter how strong the Gao Party is, no matter how powerful it is, it can still be defeated; but the Emperor Party is different. , as long as the holy family is still there, the imperial party cannot be defeated... It may be great or tragic to compete with an invincible opponent, but how stupid is it?"

Chen Siyu was a little surprised, and asked, "Enxiang thinks that Gao Qiuzhen is now an invincible opponent?"

Shen Shixing sighed and said: "In the past, Lord Huating relied on the prestige of overthrowing Yan Song, his reputation spread across the world, he was respected all over the world, and he overthrew Gao Gaoxuan with the power of words and deeds. Who in the world is not excited? But what happened to the result? In less than two years, Gao Gaoxuan returned to Beijing to serve as a secondary assistant and a heavenly official, while Duke Huating could only return to his hometown sadly, and was even..."

Chen Siyu was silent, Shen Shixing shook his head, and said: "Later, no matter who was in the cabinet, as long as they disagreed with Gao Gaoxuan, they all resigned and returned home. He almost lost his honor as a cabinet minister. Renfu, this is the power of the imperial party."

Chen Siyu was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "But Yan Song was also an imperial party back then."

Shen Shixing chuckled, shook his head and said, "Actually, he is very similar to Gao Gaoxuan. He has a large group of people under his command, the so-called strict party and high party. The holy family, and Yan Song is getting old, and can no longer keep up with the footsteps of the holy family... Is the imperial party that lost the holy family still called the imperial party? Duke Huating was able to overthrow Yan Song, not by "taking the holy family" , but patiently lurk, and wait until the other party loses their holy family, and they will naturally win."

Chen Siyu frowned and said, "Yan Song is much older than Duke Huating, so Duke Huating can wait, but Gao Qiuzhen is different. He is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, so he shouldn't even be appointed an official. How can I wait?" Wait until the day he loses his family?"

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a system that officials could only be appointed at the age of [-], and they had to retire at the age of [-].But in fact, the emperor often "refused to resign" when he became an official at seventy.

But Shen Shixing didn't care, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Gao Yushi is only eighteen years old, no matter how special the decree is, he will have a chance to join the cabinet after he is 30 years old, right? Then there are still 12 years, 12 years later Is Guo Zhifu here? Is Zhang Fengpan here?"

"Mr. Guo Ge must have been gone at that time, but Mr. Zhang Ge seems to be still there, right? At that time... he should only be 67?" Chen Siyu replied with a frown.

But Shen Shixing laughed, and said: "Although I said 'you can't judge people's wrongs behind their backs', I don't want to say what is right and wrong, but I want to tell you that Zhang Fengpan's health has been bad, and it's hard to say whether he can survive until that day. And even if he survives to that day, we are not helpless...he is not considered an imperial party."
