The biggest news in the early fourth year of Longqing's reign in the Ming Dynasty must have been Gao Gong's resurrection. Not only did he re-enter the cabinet and become a bachelor of Wuyingdian, he also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, known as the "Heavenly Official" at the emperor's instruction and insistence. This so-called master
Yes. In an instant, the Gaofu Mansion, which had been deserted in the past two years, suddenly turned into a scene of bustling traffic, making the originally small and laid-back Gaofu Mansion full of people all day long.
The government and the public, especially those officials who had stood by Xu Jie during the previous scandal, were even more panicked. They didn't know when Gao Gong's sword of revenge would fall. But Gao Gong accepted Gao Pragmatic's persuasion.
Instead, he sent his disciples and old officials to let the wind go, saying, "Xu Jie was kind to me in the past. Although there were some disagreements due to some differences in political opinions, it is all in the past. From now on, I will work together with all my colleagues.
"Communist national affairs" and so on, finally I didn't scare a few more to death.
After Gao Jingzhi accompanied him to the palace last time, not many major events worth mentioning happened. He just studied at home. It was not until the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Longqing that a person's visit changed him slightly.
life.
The visitor's surname is Zhang, given by Siwei, given by Ziwei, and given by Fengpan. He is a native of Fengling Township in Puzhou. He was originally Zuo Yude of Zuo Chunfang and an attendant of the Hanlin Academy. Recently, after he came to Gao Gongzhang, he was immediately dismissed.
He was promoted to a Hanlin bachelor and the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and participated in the government affairs.
This promotion actually caused some controversy in the DPRK.
Ordinarily, Zhang Siwei's qualifications and resume are not bad: he was born with a unique talent, and he was ranked among the top talents in the fifteenth year of his life. The local school inspector Liu was very surprised and said that he must be a pillar of the country. In the 28th year of Jiajing Provincial Examination, he ranked first.
In the 32nd year, he passed the Jinshi examination. Because of his excellent articles and calligraphy, he entered the Hanlin Academy and became the first Shujishi. In the 34th year, he was awarded the title of editor of the Hanlin Academy. In the 41st and 40th years
In the four-year two-term examination, the same examiner was used to copy copies of "Yongle Dadian".
At this time, Siwei was studying behind closed doors, reading extensively, thinking deeply, and achieved quite a lot. He drafted strategist's documents on behalf of Yuan Wenrong, understood the past and present, and had clever strategies. He was praised by the official circles as a "true naturalist"; he also researched and formulated national policies for Xu Wenzhen.
State the pros and cons of various policies, provide sufficient evidence, and win praise, which is valuable for participating in politics.
In the first year of Longqing, a copy of "Yongle Dadian" was recorded and promoted to the Youzhong Yuan Dynasty of Youchunfang. The emperor's first imperial lecturer served as the lecturer of the Sutra Banquet with four dimensions. He answered the questions with all his heart and gave full play to them, and the emperor Chang Chang was willing to listen to it.
.In the same year, he presided over the Shuntian Provincial Examination, and was soon promoted to Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude and concurrently as a member of the Hanlin Academy. Until this time Gao Gong returned to the cabinet and was promoted to an important position.
If we look at it from the perspective of the officialdom of Gao Pragmatic's previous life, he first came from a wealthy family, and he was also a half-child of a high-ranking cadre. He was also excellent in both morals and learning, and his political experience could basically be said to be smooth sailing. As for
As for political achievements... not to mention outstanding achievements, they can be said to be quite impressive. If you have to find faults, it is nothing more than "lack of grassroots work experience". But this is the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty
In fact, official promotion does not attach much importance to the so-called grassroots work experience - let alone Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. Historically, these two people had never worked at the grassroots level until they became chief ministers, but both of them have
It can be said that he is a good minister in times of rescue.
So, what was the most important thing about being an official in the Ming Dynasty?
First, let’s look at the list. What list is Zhang Siwei on? He was a serious Jinshi and was the first Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy.
Secondly, look at the officials. What kind of official is Zhang Siwei? He is close to the emperor and has experience in compiling canons.
Again, let’s look at the name. What’s the name of Zhang Siwei? Hanlin was born in a noble family, and he served as a talent examiner twice.
Then this... no matter how you look at it, he is qualified. Although it seems a bit surprising to be directly appointed as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs at once, it is not surprising when you think about it. After all, it is a "feudal dynasty". In theory, as long as the emperor is willing
, a commoner yesterday can immediately dominate the world today. So, why did Zhang Siwei cause controversy when he was promoted?
In fact, in the final analysis, the reason is that Gao Gong exposed Gao Jingshi's face too high-profile. Because after that, interested people looked back and found out, oh! Zhang Siwei is actually Gao Jingshi's biological uncle!
Gao Jingshi's father, Gao Cai, had his first wife named Sun, but unfortunately she died young without any children. His second wife, named Zhang, was the daughter of the Zhang family in Puzhou, Zhang Siwei's biological sister, and Gao Jingshi's biological mother.
What does this mean? It means that Gao Gong and Zhang Siwei can be regarded as relatives in a different way!
Fortunately, Gao Pragmatic is only Gao Gong's nephew after all, and the Gao family has six houses in Gao Gong's generation. Otherwise, I'm afraid the controversy will be even greater. But even so, Zhang Siwei's appointment is quite controversial.
After receiving some doubts. During the cabinet discussion, thanks to Zhang Juzheng who came out and said some fair words, the appointment was barely able to reach a consensus in the cabinet - Zhang Juzheng also admired Zhang Siwei quite a lot.
Of course, although the cabinet's promotion of Zhang Siwei seemed a bit reluctant, it was easier for the Chief of Ceremonies to handle it - the emperor would never hold back on the matter of being the master of Jufan Gao Gong. This is very guaranteed. p>
As for Zhang Siwei's visit to Gaofu this time, his first priority was naturally not to see his nephew, but to thank Gao Gong for his recommendation. Gao Pragmatic didn't know what the uncle and uncle talked about - after all, their meeting was barely satisfactory.
It is not easy for highly pragmatic children to sit in on official business dealings between senior students.
By the time Gao pragmatic learned that the meeting between his third uncle and his uncle was over and rushed to the flower hall, Gao Gong had already disappeared, while Zhang Siwei was already standing at the door of the flower hall looking at him with a smile.
Gao pragmatically hurried forward and saluted him as a nephew: "My nephew has met my uncle in pragmatic ways."
"Get up, I don't need to be polite." Zhang Siwei smiled and helped his little nephew up with his own hands, looked at you, and said with satisfaction: "The last time I saw you, it was just above the knee, but now it is already waist high.
Okay, okay... Is your mother okay before you come?"
Gao pragmatic stood up and replied: "Mom, everything is fine, but sometimes I miss my uncle and my uncle."
Uncle uncle and uncle grandma are the local names for grandparents in Puzhou. Gao pragmatically does not usually speak in this tone. Obviously, he said it here deliberately for Zhang Siwei.
Sure enough, Zhang Siwei's smile became even brighter after hearing this: "If nothing happens over there in Xinzheng, you can mention it to your father and ask your mother to go back to Puzhou Province for a while... Your father is in China now.
No matter what, you don’t need your mother to take care of you."
Zhongdu is talking about Fengyang in the Ming Dynasty. Gao Cai, the biological father of Gao Cai, is now the general magistrate of Fengyang Mansion. One thing to note here is that Fengyang Mansion had a very high status in the Ming Dynasty, although the position of general magistrate was not considered
High, but not bad. However, Gao Cai probably should have been promoted faster. The main reason why he was unhappy was because he took the imperial examination too late, and the problem in this matter was Gao Gong: At the time of the Lianghe Canon Examination, the examiner
Most of them were Gao Gong's disciples. In order to avoid suspicion, Gao Gong did not let his sixth brother Gao Cai take the exam. It was not until the middle period of Jiajing that Gao Cai was elected. As a result, he wasted years and his official career was a bit slow.<
