In the original work of "Do you know it or not, it should be green fat and red skinny", in order to do the matter of Gu Jizhuang, Minglan consulted with Gu Tingye, and after spending more than 30,000 taels of silver from his own family account to pay off the tenants of Zhuangzi, and then took out a generous amount of silver to dismiss the previous stewards, 30,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, Minglan and Gu Tingye did so, there is also a deep meaning behind it, to a lesser extent, gu Tingye spent a lot of money to get rid of the black-hearted stewards, and then did the old and good people to pay off the debts for the tenants, and took over Zhuangzi himself. To put it more seriously, It is Gu Tingye who spent money to get rid of those stewards with a background in the palace, and unveiled the private bribery of the imperial palace for the emperor. The meaning behind Gu Tingye's payment of money to tenants has the following three points.
First, a small imperial palace, Gu Tingye needs to spend more than thirty thousand silver to fill the deficit on the account, it can be seen how black this zhuangzi is, how black the heart of the master behind those stewards is, and the people who can reach out to the imperial palace for money are not the nobles in the palace or other officials and eunuchs, Gu Tingye poked this matter out this time, everyone can see at a glance, knowing that the water behind the imperial palace is very deep, there are various masters behind the back, the emperor did not thoroughly investigate this time, it is to ring a warning bell for everyone, but also to tell everyone that the emperor withheld tenants He knows.
First, Gu Tingye spent thirty thousand taels of silver to repay the tenants' debts this time, which was also done for everyone to see, the emperor saw it, the forces behind Zhuangzi also saw it, everyone knew it, the emperor did not thoroughly investigate, Gu Tingye did not appeal, that is to say, the emperor gave everyone the opportunity to reform, hoping not to let similar things happen again, so stop it.
Third, Gu Tingye broke the wealth to avoid disasters, left a good name, sympathetic to tenants, with such a good reputation, the emperor will also see, the emperor watched Gu Tingye with his own money to fill the deficit of the imperial palace, save the royal face, but also sent away those stewards with backgrounds. Of course, sympathizing with Gu Tingye's hardships, the emperor later found a reason and gave Gu Tingye fifty thousand taels of silver. In fact, this is also the emperor saw that Gu Tingye solved the matter of the imperial palace, neither offended those old forces, nor pushed the problem to himself, if it was handled by the emperor himself, I don't know how many people to offend, and how many people to eliminate, the imperial court began to be turbulent again.
The emperor was not long after the succession, the power in the dprk is shallow, there is no foundation, and Gu Tingye in the eyes of everyone he is the emperor's confidant, now the emperor gave the previous Zhuangzi to Gu Tingye, Gu Tingye found that the imperial palace's books lacked more than thirty thousand silver when handling the handover, and the names are all owed silver by tenants, and the stewards of the imperial palace on weekdays do not bully tenants, if Gu Tingye reports this matter to the emperor, the emperor thoroughly investigates it, a Zhuangzi pit harms the people, and other imperial estates are estimated to have such a thing. If the emperor checks all the imperial palaces, he may not be able to offend the previous imperial relatives, after all, there are eunuchs in the palace behind the imperial palace, there are masters behind the eunuchs, and there are imperial relatives and state relatives behind the masters. For the emperor with unstable foundations, this should not be taken lightly.
Gu Tingye paid for the tenants to pay off the debt, ostensibly to solve the problem of a Zhuangzi, but there are many in the imperial palace, the existing problems are similar, Gu Tingye's move is to tell everyone that the vampires behind the imperial palace should pay attention, although the emperor ostensibly does not care about this matter, but the emperor has noticed this matter, it is time to converge. There are already lessons from the past, and I hope that other Zhuangzi will quickly close their hands.
