Chapter 921 Decentralization
Tang Yi tossed and turned around, reading it for half an hour, but didn't say anything. Gao Gong couldn't hold back. It took you so long to read this thing. I'm not a book of heaven!
"Gei Master Tang, I'm begging for going, and I'd like to ask Mr. Tang not to hesitate or suspect. If Mr. Tang is unwilling to approve, Gao will go to His Majesty." Gao Gong said with a beard and glared.
Tang Yi put down his memorial and smiled, "Duke Zhongxuan, the scholar-officials have resigned for 70 years. You have more than ten years left. It is the time when you are young and strong and strong, why should you resign?"
Gao Gong said in a muffled voice: "It's not written above. I'm not in good health and I have to go home to recuperate."
Tang Yi shook his head. Gao Gong was in poor health. It was time for the six ministers and nine ministers to resign.
"Duke Zhongxuan, more than three months ago, Your Majesty issued a decree to you. I have advised Your Majesty twice, asking Mr. Zhongxuan to return to the court and participate in the grand ceremony. I dared to ask for advice. What was the thought of when I left my hometown in Xinzheng?"
At the beginning...
Gao Gong couldn't help but get confused. Since he joined the cabinet and became the prime minister, even earlier, he has firmly believed that he was an invincible talent. The task of revitalizing the Ming Dynasty could only be completed by him, including being defeated by Xu Jie and returning to his hometown. This idea not only did not weaken, but also became stronger and stronger.
Since receiving the imperial edict, Gao Gong rushed to the capital without stopping. He knew that the court was already full of holes and had many problems, and he would not be able to change it.
He was holding a heart of blood and a life, with a sense of dying, and wanted to break the many scoundrels, defeat all the forces of conservatism, decisively reform, implement new policies, enrich the country and strengthen the army...
With hesitation and ambition, he believed that the focus of reform must be on administration. For this reason, he proposed the idea of "eliminating the eight evils". Seeing the difficulties in national use, Gao Gong resolutely supported Zhang Juzheng's one-whip method.
They made an appointment in private to fight together to revive the Ming Dynasty.
But Gao Gong didn't expect that the first shot of the reform was gone. Just three pawns made the criticism of the whip technique that he had high hopes for.
What made Gao Gong most depressed was that after he went back, he thought about it repeatedly and even learned Tang Yi's method to do sand table deduction. The final result was even worse than the situation in the Golden Palace.
Gao Gong is proud, even conceited. He can tolerate failure, but cannot tolerate the things he is most proud of, and is compared by others.
According to the nature of Gao Bei, he should have left and left. But he was still unwilling to give up. The whip method was overturned. He wanted to see if he could come up with a better solution?
If he hadn't, he would have continued to live a life of scattering. Gao Gong would never be willing to fail, and he would fight for his life even if he fought.
Soon the new version of the One-Whip Technique was launched, with too many things to pick up the shortcomings, and the implementation details were almost impeccable. Gao Gong turned from anger to loss, or even shame.
It turns out that I have always been self-inflated and feel good about myself. You, Gao Suqing, have only a few abilities. Since there are people who are more suitable to sit in a position than you, why bother to be greedy for power and act as a stumbling block to reform!
It’s better to go back! It’s better to go back!
Leave the stage to someone else, this is Gao Gong’s most real idea.
"Mr. Tang, Gao is overestimating his abilities. You are more suitable to rule over the world than me. The burden of reviving the Ming Dynasty falls on your shoulders. Don't let down the expectations of the world."
Gao Gong said that he was moved and gritted his teeth, but something flashed through his eyes.
Tang Yi could see that Gao Huzi was not fighting, but the more he did, the less he could not let him go. When he really sat in the cabinet chair, Tang Yi suddenly realized that there were too few ministers and officials who supported reforms in the court and were truly capable of pushing forward. Gao Gong was the most critical one.
Originally, Tang Yi didn't want to publicly attack Gao Gong in the Golden Palace, but Gao Beard relied on Longqing's holy family and actually crossed him, trying to pull Zhang Juzheng to promote the new law together.
This is something that Tang Yi cannot agree to, the authority of the cabinet cannot be provoked, and no Grand Secretary can break the rules.
Unexpectedly, the knocking came too violently, which made Gao Gong want to resign. Tang Yi did not want to lose a general. However, Gao Gong was an extremely arrogant person, and it was not easy to convince him.
"Zhongxuan Gong, this is your "Eight Disadvantages"." Tang Yi pulled out of the table and sent it to Gao Gong. Gao Gong just glanced at it, and said nothing with a tense face.
"I read it carefully several times, and I was enlightened and suddenly realized. Mr. Zhongxuan could see the shortcomings of the officialdom clearly and summarized it in a subtle way. Not only did he find the problem, but he also came up with a solution. It was really thought-provoking."
Gao Gong snorted, not being fooled by Tang Yi at all.
"Prime Minister Tang, your knowledge is far above Mr. Gao. My work is worthless, it is just a joke." As he said that, Gao Gong grabbed the memorial and tore it to pieces.
Looking at the pieces of paper, Gao Gong smiled desolately, "I have decided to leave, so Prime Minister Tang doesn't need to waste his words."
Gao Gong stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly Tang Yi said behind his back: "Gei Gao, you still love to value your authority, fame and fortune, not really for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but for the world!"
The tall bearded and hairy hair suddenly turned around and suddenly turned around, "Prime Minister of Tang, Gao knows that he is not as talented as you, but you can't question my heart for the Ming Dynasty!"
Gao Gong pointed to his chest and said sternly: "If I have any selfish thoughts, the sky will not allow it!"
Tang Yi raised his head, looked at Gao Gong who was almost crazy, and chuckled: "Zhongxuan Gong, a good soldier will cherish his weapons, just like life. A reformer, his strategy and memorials, every word is formed by his own efforts, just like his own child, Zhongxuan Gong, but you abandon your child like a blind pawn. It can be seen that your summary of the eight disadvantages is not really attentive. Is this cabinet wrong? "
Gao Gong was suddenly stopped and his old face turned red.
He was indeed in a hurry. After tearing it up, he regretted it. Unexpectedly, Tang Yi was asked to make a fuss. He could only blacken his face and think for a while before saying, "Prime Minister Tang, you naturally have a beautiful mind. Gao's things are laughable. What's the use of tearing it off?"
Tang Yi stood up from his seat and walked to the opposite side of Gao Gong.
"Donald Zhongxuan, no one in the world knows everything. You often say that there are many problems. At the cabinet meeting, we also listed three major items and dozens of small items. Does Duke Zhongxuan think someone can solve all the problems?"
Gao Gong's eyes turned around, silently saying, thinking I thought you could!
"Take the new whip method as an example, what does Zhongxuan think?"
"What the Prime Minister of Tang did is naturally impeccable."
"Wrong!" Tang Yi shook his head, "In my eyes, the current whip method is actually worthless."
Gao Gong was not sure why, Tang Yi explained: "Any law was not formulated by the top, so there would be no problem. No matter how good it was, it would not be used at all! But to implement the whip method, we must rectify the administration and select talents. We must also build warehouses in various places, renovate roads, facilitate grain transportation, set up banks in suitable cities, and develop lending business..." Tang Yi listed six or seven items, and then said: "The court did not dare to oppose it, but who would feel comfortable when cutting off their bodies? If it was implemented, it would ensure that there were many difficulties and dangers. Without great courage and determination, we would definitely not be able to do it."
Tang Yi said earnestly: "Donald Zhongxuan, a good bill is only the first step, and there are ninety-nine steps behind it. Tang proposed to Your Majesty that expanding the cabinet and adding a grand sect is really complicated. With the wisdom of one or two people, it is impossible to reverse the accumulated problems that have been accumulated over thousands of years. We must work together and put our strength into one place to succeed. If we have not truly implemented the new law, we will destroy each other and fight each other. It is easier to go back to our own houses and wait for death. Duke Zhongxuan, you are a few officials in the court, with great ambitions and take Zhongyang as your responsibility, but you didn't expect that your mind would be like this. It seems that the Ming Dynasty is so arrogant, I don't have to bother. For nothing, I can count me as much as I resigned."
After Tang Yi finished speaking, he turned around, picked up the brush, found the blank handwriting, and no longer needed to compile lyrics. He just copied it down according to Gao Gong's "Qi Shi Gu Shu".
This made Gao Gong both embarrassed and embarrassed. Others called him domineering and vengeful. Gao Gong even accepted it. He even secretly rejoiced that he was so frightened and incompetent people, making those mediocre officials and incompetent people afraid, hold grudges, and itchy teeth. That was Gao's power, Gao's ability!
He was still complacent, but when Tang Yi said that he ignored the overall situation and broke each other's situation, Gao Gong really couldn't hold on. If he had gained such a reputation, he would not be able to close his eyes even if he died!
Gao Hu Zi gritted his teeth and suddenly rushed to the front of the table, grabbed Tang Yi's wrist. Tang Yi looked at him hesitantly, Gao Gong panted and said loudly: "Tang Yi, don't play with these false things for me. In a word, I stay, how much power can you give me?"
"How much power do you want?"
"I..." Gao Gong was speechless and blushed. Could it be that he could not say that I wanted the chief assistant?
Tang Yi suddenly smiled: "Duke Zhongxuan, what do you think? I will give you all the task of rectifying the administration, and you will lead it. In addition, Chen Ge Lao, Yang Bo, the Tiangong of the Ministry of Personnel, Gao Yi, the Minister of Rites, Ge Shouli, the Chief Censorate, and Ge Shouli, the five ministers hold hands together. From the imperial examination and selection of officials, training talents, to the promotion of officials, evaluation, and supervision of illegal supervision, all of them are decided by you. If any officials below the third rank or under the third rank or dereliction of duty are violated, they can be replaced immediately. If the third rank or above is ruling, the cabinet meeting will decide. What if Zhongxuan Gong's intention is? "
Gao Gong was really stunned. This power was too great. It was much greater than what he required in "The Eight Disadvantages". From the beginning of the imperial examination, the entire series of personnel appointments and removals were handed over to him. What else could Tang Yi do? Was he willing to make decorations?
"Prime Minister Tang, aren't you afraid that Gao will take over the power?" Gao Gong said with a glaring eyes.
"Haha, Zhongxuan Gong, as long as he is dedicated to the country, I will definitely support you."
"Then aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents or even attack your people?" Gao Gong rarely teased in a relaxed tone.
Tang Yi's next words almost made Gao Gong vomit blood, "No, I have already discussed with Mr. Zhao, and he will lead the Kedao and supervise it illegal. Be careful that Mr. Zhao impeach you!"
