open sea

Chapter 422
Gao Gong asked Chen Mu not to cause chaos in the court, and report everything in the Nanyang Military Mansion as usual, but don't mention the matter of being a vassal king.

"How can this be called adding to the chaos? Everyone in the pavilion knows about it." Chen Mu stared. He felt that Gao Gong had mixed his personal grievances into the affairs of the Nanyang Army Mansion, and said: "Last year, the younger generation had this idea, so I asked the pavilion for help." It has been said in the media, Zhang Gelao sent back a letter saying that the time has not yet come."

"At that time, Ming Dynasty only had a corner of Luzon in Nanyang, and the time has not yet arrived. Even if the time has not yet arrived, it should be discussed."

"You passed it on, and Uncle Zhang wrote back to you?"

Gao Gong's eyes were straightened, he stared at Chen Mu for a long time and slapped his palm on the table, "This old man is the chief assistant!"

Understood.

Chen Mu understood, and Gao Gong also understood. Gao Gong never saw the letter sent by Chen Mu, the Nanyang Military Mansion, who wanted the clan to become a vassal overseas.

Gao Gong slapped the table not at himself, Chen Mu waved his hands away like a mirror in his heart, thinking that there was something wrong with him in the room, the old god took out some shredded tobacco from his waist and sniffed it, and Xiaoli glanced at Gao Gong pettishly .

He could understand very well, Gao Gong was not allowed to read the letter, and the matter was naturally not discussed in the court, let alone in the court. At that time, Ge Lao Zhang was busy, and he was busy sending a Ge Lao to Chen Mu.

Gao Gong has a bad temper, and he knows it too. The old man got angry and felt that it was inappropriate to pat the table with Chen Mu. Seeing that Chen Mu was sitting obediently and silently, he went down the steps by himself, shaking his head with a grievance on his face After taking a few deep breaths, he said: "This old man and Uncle Zhang have neither public nor selfish hatred, but they have different ways and do not conspire against each other."

Chen Mu remained silent, he didn't want to speak on the matter of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng at all, he didn't have the ability himself.

He doesn't care about the 'Tao' in Gao Gong's mouth, it's enough to let him do his own thing well, and no matter who of the two is the chief assistant, they won't spoil his work, that's enough.

Knowing more is not good for him.

But Gao Gong couldn't hold back what he wanted to say, the old man held back for three months with a stomach full of grievances and sorrows, caught the weather today and asked Chen Mu: "Do you think this old man is a narrow-minded person, and he ran on Uncle Zhang verbally, and won't let you tell me what happened?" he?"

"Elder Ge can't make wild guesses, this junior dare not!
Chen Mu waved his hands again and again, and said: "I just don't understand how the cabinet ministers fight back and forth, so I won't talk about it if I don't understand, but it's okay, the old man is resentful in his heart, there is only one person here, Chen, and he probably won't be able to go back to Daming in this life Again, just say it."

Still say you dare not?

It means that you, Chen Nanyang, are a big pit. If you have any bad things in your stomach, you can't spread them out, and you can just say bad things behind your back?
Gao Gong didn't care about Chen Mu, he just looked at Chen Mu for a moment and smiled in relief, and said, "That's right, you are covered with smoke from the Chen family's ancestral grave, you are so lucky that others can't compare."

After all, Mr. Sai Lvgong has the impression of being a fool in the court. He has a good temper. He doesn't get angry or argue when he is impeached.

"There are many talented people in the world, not everyone has your luck."

The imperial court made the military officers to the extreme, and there was no one who did not come into being.

The northern captives have been in trouble for a long time, and Ma Fang stood up and used the northern captives to ride and destroy the northern captives. This kind of person deserves to be the descendant of Gongyin, the commander of northern Xinjiang;
In the 30 years of the Japanese Invasion in the Southeast, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou fought from land to sea, each with his own housekeeping skills, and his fame is not too much;

Qi Jiguang ruled the Tatars to build the Great Wall. No matter how hard they fought along the Shuntian Mansion, they couldn't break it. They could only flee to rob Liaodong. It happened that Li Chengliang was not a soft persimmon. He came to beat him once. If he didn't guard the northeast, who would guard it?
As for Chen Nanyang, he was luckier than others, and he was completely lucky.

The emperor was humiliated at the top of the city, and he fired cannons at the bottom; the cabinet saw the danger of adding taxes to enrich the treasury, and just decided not to increase the taxes and use them up, Chen Shuai waved his golden sleeves and twisted his arms.

Although the reform of the Nine Frontier Guards was not as successful as the Qianhu Office in Xiangshan, he still added more than half of the frontier army's salary with his own efforts. His greatest contribution to the court was not Nanyang, but this.

It's normal for him to not understand the affairs of the court.

The other generals are close to the cabinet and the six ministries, relying on personal relationships, he is a pile of gold, he is not familiar with anyone, and everyone praises him.

"Do you think that Uncle Zhang didn't help me because he wanted to be the chief assistant; that Feng Bao wanted to kill me because of his past personal enmity?" Gao Gong said with a chuckle full of disdain, "Even if the old man is deposed again It's worthless, have you ever heard of an elder who was killed by a eunuch's slave?"

Chen Shuai continued to pretend to be a quail. Anyway, he didn't understand it very well. It would be nice to chat with Mr. Gao and be a chatterbox.

"The late emperor has passed away. I have always disliked Feng Bao. He appointed Meng Chong as Chen Hong. It is just that they are easy to control, but Feng Bao is difficult to control. Uncle Zhang will continue to do what the old man has not done. It is just that he is not safe now, so I let you pass. Let’s talk about it in a few days, since he knows, he will do it when he is free.”

Gao Gong wants to regain the power of prime minister, take away the power left in the emperor's memorial, and make the cabinet a real cabinet, rather than the status of being prime minister to the bottom and secretary to the top.

If you want to take over the prime minister, you first took over the supervisor of ceremonies, but Feng Bao countered, and Zhang Juzheng didn't stop him. Of course, he couldn't stop him, and finally saved Gao Gong's life, and that's how it happened.

It was not Feng Bao who killed Gao Gong, but the imperial palace.

Gao Gong saw that Chen Mu was absent-minded, and he would never think that Chen Mu, an overseas official, didn't care about these things, and he just thought that Chen Mu didn't understand. State affairs, the cabinet votes to approve, and now the emperor is still young, Feng Bao, the chief of ceremonies, will wear red on his behalf, if Feng Bao refuses, the memorial will be kept, what do you do?"

"Are you not worried about yourself or Uncle Zhang at all?"

Having said that, Chen Mu is quite... He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has his own lessons. The cabinet ministers and the supervisor of ceremonies also know right from wrong, so what's the use of worrying for the younger generation?"

Zhang Juzheng can still be in power for ten years, unlike Mr. Gao, Gu ordered the minister to be dismissed in seven days.

What's more, worry can't be said in front of you, you will be jealous.

But Chen Mu was tempted, he got up and saluted Gao Gongduan upright, saying: "Your junior doesn't know much, but it's a good thing to take power."

The chances of the emperor being a fool are too great, but it is rare to be able to achieve the position of chief minister and second minister of the cabinet.

The survival of the fittest is selected layer by layer. Only the most wise, wise, ruthless, and most able to control the overall situation can sit in that position. He may not be a good person, but he must be a relatively good leader.

This bureaucratic mechanism is very scientific.

"Everything should be corrected first before doing real things. If the name is not right, the words will not go well, and if the words don't go well, things will fail. The same is true for you."

It wasn't until Gao Gong said this that Chen Mu realized that the old man didn't come to confide in his heart. He said a lot of nonsense earlier to foreshadow this sentence. What’s the purpose if you don’t have money and wealth, but act in a disorganized manner without prioritization?”

"Although he has great ambitions to make great achievements in the world, he is afraid of his hands and feet. First, he can't consolidate the strength of the southeast, and second, he can't be clear about his will and the thinking of the world. Just this picture, 300 million taels of silver a year."

Gao Gong sat upright with his hands in his hands, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and said tauntingly: "It's more than that?"

　Good morning!
