"The Long River of the World" reveals Gao Shiqi's tongue battle against Guo Xiu, and understands the reason why Yu Zhenjia defeated Jin Fu
The latest political developments have emerged, and this time the focus is not on Jin Fu, but on a small episode in the budget meeting of the household department. This meeting involved the Yu Tian case, and deliberately mentioned the Yaksa War, and internal affairs and foreign strife were intertwined.
The Emperor's intention was clear, and he wanted to extend the influence of this conference to the whole country, so that everyone could feel his majesty and determination. He planned very well and didn't leave anyone out.
Unexpectedly, the first to pour cold water was the person in the emperor's own backyard. He thought that he had a complete plan and that he had the chance to win, but he ignored the existence of his own son, and in the end, he was clever and mistaken, and he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.
The one who suddenly came out and spoke freely, the one who had been holding on to the firearms battalion baby pimple, ostensibly to rectify the river affairs, actually wanted to challenge those old ministers who were sitting big.
Although this battle was lost, their intentions are really interlocking, and people can't help but admire.
At the budget meeting of the Ministry of Households, Guo Xiu Yu Shiyan said that there were problems with the river budget. He listed a number of crimes in Hewu, including ** Jin Fu as the head of the imperial history but engaged in the illegal trade of reselling Yu Tian, confusing the relationship between Yu Tian and the Yaksa War, and trying to kill the ** rich gentry in the capital with a stick.
Gao Shiqi, who has worked in the South Study for many years, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His counterattack is refined and sharp, which is both convincing and amazing. "Guo Xiu, you are too self-righteous!
Today's discussion is about the response to river expenses, and it is about the budget of the household department, why is it related to the matter of Yutian? This is called the wrong word, the first point; The second point is that since the construction of the river in the fifteenth year of Kangxi, how many acres of dry land on both sides of the bank have dried up, how much silver taels have been paid, and who the buyer is, these are all clearly written and unambiguous in the archives of the household department, how can this be said to be the private sale of the river?
The situation of fleeing in the Yellow Flood area does exist, but the number of hukou in other areas has more than doubled, so how can it be said that every household has fled? Guo Xiu, you must tell the emperor the truth today.
If there is a word difference between what I said today, then we will change the official hat and wear it. Gao Shiqi's words were sharp, logical, and magnificent, which not only forcefully rebuffed Guo Xiu's accusations, but also showed his firm attitude and full preparation.
The reaction of the ministers was really unexpected, Suo Etu and Mingzhu appeared unusually calm, while the others privately laughed at Guo Xiu, this imperial history was exaggerated, and he actually wanted to confront the central minister.
They may not know that Gao Shiqi is a clever and eloquent man, and he has never been defeated in a confrontation with Ethan'a. Now a small Jinshi, if he can't push Gao Shiqi into a corner, he can't be called a real Gao Shiqi.
However, the final result still depends on the emperor's attitude.
The emperor deliberately asked Guo Xiu's name, and then scolded Gao Shiqi for not speaking too harshly. If you are biased to one side, it is difficult to be fair. Being criticized by subordinates, speaking too strictly when speaking, and being accused of having a ghost in your heart if you speak lightly, no matter what you do, it is wrong.
Guo Xiu is a student of Xu Qianxue, has been working silently for more than ten years, and now he is firing at Gao Shiqi, but the spearhead is directed at the household department, and the household department is managed by Mingzhu, and Gao Shiqi and Mingzhu are close.
The stakes in this, you don't have to think about it, it must be the emperor's support behind the scenes, otherwise a few heads will not be enough for the superiors to deal with.
In the court, although Gao Shiqi won, the emperor's face became cold. The important thing is that the emperor put the Yu Tian case on the table, and found the reason for the investigation with the help of the tone of the imperial history, which is the key.
In fact, the emperor is using Jin Fu as an introduction, and it is Mingzhu who really wants to suppress. This position of a cabinet scholar who has been sitting for decades has affected the emperor's sight, and he intends to make some adjustments.
Yu Zhenjia's victory caused controversy in the court, and many ministers were not optimistic about him. Although Suo Etu defended him, arguing that because of the war, if the treasury was allocated to the river affairs, the soldiers' salaries would be affected.
However, the emperor's sentence "Listen to the opinions of Yu Zhenjia and Jin Fu before making a decision" made Yu Zhenjia very proud.
The debate between Yu Zhenjia and Chen Huang was full of gunpowder. Yu Zhenjia accused the river of spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to solve the problem, while Chen Huang retorted that it would cost one or two million taels of silver to pick a new river.
Yu Zhenjia's accusation was forcefully refuted by Chen Huang with data. Next, Yu Zhenjia accused Hewu of not doing his job properly, reselling Yu Tian to make huge profits. Chen Huang is an expert in river management, and he seems very innocent of such accusations.
In order to calm down this quarrel, Jin Fu and Yu Zhenjia reorganized the strategies and achievements of river control. Yu Zhenjia was completely convinced, so he could only helplessly wait for the emperor to mediate.
It turned out that the emperor asked Yu Zhenjia and Jin Fu to debate again, and everyone understood the emperor's intentions. As an expert in river affairs, Jin Fu has more than 10 years of experience in river control, and the strategies he proposed to reduce dams and control water and attack sand have achieved remarkable results, and have even been used in the Taiwan War and won the war.
However, now to let a person who has committed crimes that have plagued the three provinces come out to stir up the situation, it is obvious that the emperor has a new idea and wants to take this opportunity to suppress him.
Yu Zhenjia's ascension to power is just an ingenious layout, a move by the emperor. The reason is very simple, just because the emperor thinks that Jin Fuzhihe has spent too much money and wants to save some silver to fill the loopholes of the war.
Only after Jin Fu** did the emperor have the opportunity to investigate the Yu Tian case, and hoped to successfully implicate Mingzhu**. In this way, the silver will be in hand, Mingzhu will also be **, and Jin Fu will also be dismissed, and the emperor can further concentrate power.
It doesn't matter whether you choose to dig a new river or restore it. Because no matter how the Yellow River floods, the emperor's safety will not be threatened. Even if there is a flood, it is a big deal to give relief, after all, the people will still be grateful to the emperor.
When he learned that the biggest buyer in Yu Tian's case was the crown prince, Kangxi's resentment in his heart was indescribable. He was almost on the verge of successfully winning the pearl and controlling half of the court, but he was ruined by his own son.
When the emperor walked towards the crown prince with a sword in hand, he really thought of using this way to vent his anger. He ascended to the throne at the age of seven, and for more than twenty years he had been cautious, and now he finally had enough courage to move those old courtiers, but all his efforts came to naught at this moment.
Angry, annoyed, and lost, the emperor's sentence "I don't want to be the emperor" may be the truest thought in his heart.
If some ingenious tactics were used to deal with Mingzhu, then it was directly taken drastic measures to deal with Suo Etu. When Suo'etu led the army to conquer Dzungaria, he disappeared for two months, which is undoubtedly extremely bad news.
However, the emperor decided to let the most combat-effective firearms battalion train in Beijing, and handed over the rescue mission to the Heilongjiang army, which was thousands of miles away. No matter how strong the team is, by the time they arrive, the situation will be terrible.
Mingzhu once issued a sharp criticism, "The emperor is so wise to fall into such a situation between the monarch and the minister!" "Just because of a Yu Tian case, I want to bring down Mingzhu; A war on the border cost Suo Etu his life.
This good move fully reflects their determination to impatiently suppress the old ministers.
In the field method, water is used to drain the silt in the farmland, and the dry land is dried up due to the loss of water. These methods are all the work of river control, and without river control or improper management, there will be no fields and dry land.
Gao Shiqi's description of "5,891,623 acres and 37 mu, an increase of 2,761,308 taels of silver, and an increase of 6,912,213 stones and four buckets of grain" should be attributed to Jin Fu and Chen Huang.
This is supported by evidence.
Suo Etu once contributed to the process of capturing Aobai, and was protected by Sony, his niece is Empress Xiaochengren, and his grandson is the crown prince, although he is *** hegemonic alone, but he has always been around the emperor, and now he is designed to be murdered, it seems that the emperor's heart is indeed vicious.
And Mingzhu is Suo Etu's biggest enemy, although he is also very greedy, but in his early years, in order to cooperate with the emperor, he also offended many people. Now that he has joined forces with Gao Shiqi, it is a silent rebellion against Suo Etu.
It's really the most ruthless emperor's heart.
The emperor's impatience is indeed the problem, even if he can deal with the old ministers, but who can replace them? The real capable generals have been disheartened by him, and if they are really promoted to Zhenjia and Guo Xiu, it may bring endless disasters.
Long-term stability cannot be achieved through empty words alone, and this goal can only be achieved through practical actions. Although "The Long River under Heaven" is a work of art, and the plot in it cannot be verified one by one, judging from the endings of Suo Etu, Mingzhu and Jin Fu Chen Huang recorded in the history books, their cold hearts are not an exaggeration.
