Eloquence and eloquence have always been regarded as an important political skill. Needless to say, Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others who are like "tongue warfare group Confucianism" have all shown outstanding talents in this regard.
In "The Ming Dynasty", Gao Gong and Gao Suqing, the king of golden sentences, let us see his charm. In times of crisis, he can easily use political wisdom to defuse crises, and at the same time he can be witty and humorous.
Today, let's take a look at the invincible eloquence of the high arch and feel what it is to be truly eloquent!
The word "rape" is composed of three "female" characters, which means three wives and four concubines, describing a person's flowery heart and inattentiveness. Xiao Ge Lao, you just married the ninth aunt yesterday, and I am still a bad wife, and I can't compare with you.
At the pre-imperial financial meeting in the 39th year of Jiajing, in the face of the corrupt state situation controlled by the strict party for more than 20 years, the Qingliu people decided to fight hard. They used the deficit of the treasury as a breakthrough and clashed with the Yan Party many times, but each time Yan Shifan led the spearhead to Jiajing, resulting in no result of the attack.
When the struggle between the two sides entered the white-hot stage, Yan Shifan finally threw a fatal blow to the Qingliu - accusing Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others of being "traitorous ministers", and the reason why they launched the attack was that the Ministry of Industry overspent the budget for the emperor's palace construction, and everything was related to Jiajing.
Yan Shifan's move was extremely vicious, and directly transformed the question of whether the matter discussed between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng was reasonable into the question of "whether the politics is correct" or not. If this hat is buckled, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's situation will be very dangerous.
At the critical moment, Gao Daren showed the quality he had accumulated in the past ten years, and he skillfully used the word "rape", which not only avoided Yan Shifan's theory of punishing the heart, but also revealed Yan Shifan's life style.
This kind of political wisdom is breathtaking. Looking at Yan Song's surprised expression after Gao Gong said this, you can see how successful his strategy is.
After the collapse of the Yan Party, Xu Jie experienced Yan Song's dilemma: he had to satisfy Jiajing's selfish desires and appease the emotions of hundreds of officials, and Xu Jie regarded himself as a clear stream, and he could not fall into the notoriety of "harshly criticizing hundreds of officials", and his decision-making was inevitably too "modest".
Gao Gong will come out when he sees injustice, and the internal contradictions between Xu Jie and Gao Gong gradually appear. At this time, the treasury was still empty, Jiajing's selfish desires were undiminished, hundreds of officials were seriously in arrears, and the interests of the civil official group and Emperor Jiajing were becoming more and more intense.
In the end, at the "New Year's Pass" of the 44th year of Jiajing, this contradiction erupted.
When the hundred officials made a big fuss about the household yamen, Xu Jie considered that his student, Zhao Zhenji, the secretary of the household department, was still young and could not quell the riot, so he decided to let the official secretary Gao Gong go to mediate and explain the ins and outs of the matter to everyone.
As the first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jie's reluctance to show up at this moment is for two reasons. First of all, there is the excitement of the crowd, and his intervention may further deteriorate the situation, and there is no room for a turnaround.
Secondly, he cherishes his prestige and image, and does not want to annoy the officials because of this incident.
Gao Gong had insight into Xu Jie's thoughts, although he was a secretary of the ministry, he was unwilling to take the blame for Xu Jie. Therefore, he quoted the sentence "There is only a pot to cook white rice, and there is no reason to set up a pot to cook" to force Xu Jie to express his position.
Seeing Xu Jie's lost eyes, we couldn't help but praise Gao Gong's eloquence and debating skills. It has been said that political language is to express the harshest meaning in the most polite words, and this is perfectly reflected in the high arch.
