Chapter 137 Advantages of Travelers
Yes, this case was a matter of life and death for Gao Wen.But in Xu Zhen's eyes, it was just a big deal.Helping is also a favor, not helping is justified.

In favor of favors, even though Gao Wen was appointed as the head of the court trial by Master Xu, the two had a teacher-student relationship.But that day in the restaurant, he had offended him to the point of home.Up to now, Xu Xuan still finds Gao Wen not pleasing to the eye, so naturally he has no interest in helping.

As for the truth, it is also simple.Xu Zhen was driven out of the capital by the grandmas in the court and came to Shaanxi to recruit soldiers.The old man has only recruited a hundred people so far, and his errands have failed, and he doesn't know how to be impeached by others after returning to Beijing.I am having a headache, so naturally I don't want to make trouble.If you meddle in local affairs rashly, you may offend someone and cause trouble.At this time, for him, it is better to be less than one thing.

In his previous life, Gao Wen was just a white-collar worker, but as a rich second generation, he and his parents also had contact with local upper-class people when he was young, and he also had a certain understanding of the rules of officialdom.For people in the officialdom, doing more and making more mistakes.If there is no real benefit, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Yes, real benefits.There is a saying that goes well, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.This is true in modern society, and it was also true in ancient times.

If you want Xu Zhen to help me Gao Wen, you must have tangible interests that can impress him.

So, what does Master Xu want?

The answer is ready to come out - power.

Yes.

After knowing that Xu Zhen changed his name to Xu Youzhen later, Gao Wen instantly went through his records in the history books in his mind.

This person is from Suzhou, and he is not well-known in history, but his grandson is a cultural celebrity. He is Zhu Yunming Zhu Zhishan, one of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and Tang Bohu's super bad friend in the story-telling novel "Three Smiles".

Xu Yu is a well-known scholar in Suzhou.In the eighth year of Xuande, he became a Jinshi, selected Shujishi, and awarded editing.What kind of concept is this? In the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that non-jinshi cannot be an official, and non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet.

He became a Jinshi at a young age, and became the emperor's personal secretary Hanlin editor. It can be said that he rushed to the cabinet as a prime minister as soon as he entered the officialdom.It's a pity that Emperor Yingzong was captured by the Oirats in the Battle of Tumubao, and the emperor was changed in the Forbidden City.As the emperor's secretary, he naturally lost his power. In addition, his reputation was ruined as soon as he moved the capital, and he became the laughing stock of the world. He was sent to Shaanxi to recruit soldiers.

If this kind of thing falls on anyone, I'm afraid they will feel depressed, let alone Mr. Xu is a person who loves fame and power.What is the comment on him in history: he has many intelligences and numbers, and he likes fame.

Xu Yu is a rare talent who has studied all the books on astronomy, geography, art of war, water conservancy, yin and yang, and alchemy.It's a pity that I want to be an official and exercise power too much, and I have been depressed in the Jingtai Dynasty, so I inevitably dare not.Because of this, when Emperor Cloisonne was critically ill, generals Shi Heng and Zhang Fu conspired to welcome the restoration of Yingzong, Lao Xu rushed to join in the change of seizing the gate, became the hero of Yingzong's re-emergence of the throne, and joined the cabinet as the leader of the Ming Dynasty. Shoufu, under one person, above ten thousand people, is very proud.

Like to exercise power can be said to be Master Xu's biggest weakness, but we can start from this point.

By the way, just now I heard Xu Yu and Diao Hualong say that he is likely to be pushed out by his colleagues in the capital to go to the local area.Since ancient times, the difference between Beijing officials and local officials has been very large, although local officials are in charge of one side, and they are majestic.But far away from the political center of the capital, he has worked abroad for several years, and his official career has been ups and downs, so there is no future to talk about.Although the Beijing officials don't have many actual interests, the upward path is smooth and there are a lot of opportunities.There are often examples of old bureaucrats who have worked through their seniority until their hair is gray, and when the opportunity comes, they squeeze into the core decision-making level.

What Xu Zhen is most concerned about now is how to return to Beijing, right?
So, it is easy to handle.

Gao Wen immediately had an idea, and said, "Teacher, when a student came to you earlier, he happened to hear that the teacher was reading "The Doctrine of the Mean". Therefore, a gentleman's action is the way of the world, his actions are the law of the world, and his words are the law of the world. And the world is the rule of the world. If you are far away, you will have hope, and if you are near, you will never tire. A gentleman's behavior can become the leader of the world from generation to generation, his behavior can become the law of the world from generation to generation, and his language can become the rule of the world from generation to generation. Far away It will inspire people to look up to it, and it will not make people disgusted when they get close. This matter is not only related to the life and death of Gao Wen alone, but it is actually related to the horse administration in Shaanxi, and it is related to the armament of our Ming Dynasty."

"Right now, I'm facing a tight frontier defense. Military horses are the country's most important weapon. If the horse government is abolished, if the country wants to use troops against Oala in the future, what should we do if we want to use horses?"

"On the surface, maybe this is just a carjacking case, but in fact it involves Shaanxi Mazheng and related local officials. The students suspect that the money allocated to Shaanxi Mazheng subsidy in front of the court has been corrupted by some officials." Gao Wenyi Bowing to the ground: "Students should add another item to this pleadings, suing Taipusi and Shaanxi Chief Envoy Si Yamen."

"Ah!" Inside, Diao Hualong exclaimed, "Gao Wen, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Gao Wen continued to speak loudly: "Teacher, this matter is of great importance, and students dare not write it in the pleadings. As far as I know, Meiliang's racecourse claims to have thousands of war horses, but when the students went to the racecourse, they only saw more than a hundred horses. Bad horses. The students would like to ask, where did the other [-] horses and the subsidy money allocated by the imperial court go. There is such a big hole in a small Hancheng, a small family racecourse. May I ask, the same situation is happening again in Shaanxi How much? My student asks my mentor, you, to act as the law of the world, eradicate this group of corrupt officials, and return me to a bright and clear world. As for the gains and losses of my Gao Wen alone, what does it matter?"

Having finished what he needed to say, Gao Wen tightly shut his mouth, bowed his back, and feigned grief and indignation.However, his vest still broke out in a layer of cold sweat.

As a time traveler, he can naturally figure out Xu Cheng's thoughts.

This is a man who likes to make trouble, and now he has fallen in the political arena.If he doesn't do something and stands at the brightest center of the political arena again, what awaits him will be the result of being kicked out of the capital.

If you want to gain a firm foothold in the court, you have to continuously increase your exposure and gain a sense of presence.

It would be the best if we can make a big news in Shaanxi.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is of great benefit to Mr. Xu, and it depends on how he chooses.

As soon as Gao Wen said this, Diao Hualong, who had been speaking well for Xu Yu in front of him before, was startled and angry, and shouted sharply: "Gao Wen, what are you talking about? Go to the Criminal Division and surrender. The national law is ruthless, don't make mistakes!"

"Wait." Suddenly, Xu Yu's voice came: "Gao Wen, let me ask you, is everything you said the truth?"

Gao Wen: "Students don't dare to deceive their mentors. They are willing to guarantee their heads, wealth and life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a shadow covering his head.Looking up, Xu Zhen was already standing in front of him, looking at him with playful eyes.

After a long time, Xu Yu said: "Get up, you go down first, I have my own opinion."

This already hinted that he intends to intervene in this case. Gao Wen was pleasantly surprised and stood up, "Thank you, teacher."

Xu Yu: "This is a big matter. In my opinion, it should be..."
