The child who was pulled by Cao Gan in front of Gao Pingshi was probably only about six years old. Just from his eyes, it could be seen that this child was definitely not the same as the monster-like little loli from Liu Xian's family. He was dodging and refusing to look directly.
Highly pragmatic.
Cao Gan became angry as soon as he saw it. He was afraid that he would displease Gao Jingshi, and his son would have no chance to study in his life. In the past, he could not study because of his status, and he could not take part in the imperial examination if he did. Now it is still because of his status, Gao Gan
Pragmatism is the master of their father and son. If the master does not allow it, which imperial examination will a servant or a son of yours take?
The child finally lowered his head and looked at Gao Pangshi: "Cao Ke has met the young master."
Fortunately, this sentence is quite clear. Gao Pragmatic is afraid of such a big child. He can't even speak clearly, which is a bit troublesome, because normally, he can't be enlightened. Since it is just courage
If you keep it small, you can still speak clearly and be more pragmatic, which will put your mind at ease.
Then he smiled gently and said: "Your father asked you to study with me. This is for your own good. After studying, you can become an official in the future. If you become a high official, even if you don't become an official, people who have studied will be more respected.
Understand?"
Cao Ke nodded vaguely in understanding.
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Okay, you can play by yourself today, and I will start teaching you how to read words tomorrow. You only need to read five words every day."
Cao Gan felt in his heart that he could only learn five words a day, how could he learn something famous? However, he himself had never read a book, so he had no confidence in this matter, and he did not dare to question the young master of the Gao family.
I had no choice but to scold my son quickly: "Did you hear that? Why don't you thank the young master quickly?"
The kid Cao Ke was probably scared to death of his father, so he quickly said: "Thank you, young master."
Gao Pragmatic wanted to tell Cao Gan that there was something wrong with your education method, but then he thought that it was not a good sign to say that to a father in front of his children, so he held back and just said: "Okay, you go and play first.
, your father and I still have something to discuss."
Cao Gan quickly said to his son: "Go, look for your mother outside. Do you remember the way?"
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just let Manager Shen take him there."
Shen Li'an, who had been waiting at the door, quickly responded and led Cao Ke down.
Cao Gan thanked Shen Li'an first, and then turned to wait for Gao Pragmatic's instructions.
However, Gao Pragmatic actually did not want to give orders, but had a question to ask: "Cao Gan, to be honest, I didn't know that your Bailixia could have such a scale before... Not only did the population exceed my expectations, but the power also exceeded my expectations.
, the financial resources have exceeded my expectations. However, you can rest assured that my third uncle has already replied to my letter, and I should be able to successfully take over your Bailixia people, including your industry."
Gao Pragmatic did not explain why he was "able to take over smoothly" because Zhang Juzheng was involved.
The thing is like this, on the night when Gao Pragmatic's letter was delivered to Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Feng also sent a letter after the confidentiality meeting. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they actually hoped that Gao Gong would take it for his sake.
Let Xu Jie go and stop putting pressure on the Songjiang land withdrawal case, because the news that Zhang Juzheng received at that time was that Hai Rui had used Xu Jie's younger brother Xu Zhi Shangshu to impeach his brother Xu Jie's old story, which was slowly brought to the forefront.
Regarding Xu Jie's three sons, they have even been "invited" to Suzhou (Wu Feng's note: Governor Yingtian is stationed in Suzhou, not Nanjing), and investigation and evidence collection are ongoing.
Zhang Juzheng was well aware of the situation in the family of his old benefactor. It was hard to say whether he had directly accepted bribes or taken advantage of others, but his three sons must have had something to do with it. These three yamen were now in the hands of Hai Rui.
Hai Rui is an insufferable person, so if we continue to investigate like this, nothing will happen?
Gao Gong himself was in a bit of a dilemma. Not investigating was not his style of governing. Investigating, as Gao Pingshi had advised him before, would only lead to ridicule and doubt from others, who thought he was seeking personal revenge.
Finally, considering that Zhang Juzheng was now his most important ally in the cabinet, Gao Gong held his nose and wrote a letter to several Wuzhong officials who were specifically handling the case, especially Su Song, the deputy envoy for military preparations and grain storage and water conservancy.
Cai Guoxi.
Gao Gong said this in his letter: "Cun Lao (Wufeng's note: refers to Xu Jie, because Xu Jie is also known as "Cunzhai") is in charge of your son. There is a book in front of the servant to check the sleeping place. I recently heard that the deacon
The arrest is very urgent, but the servant's intention is not so. This old man belongs to the family of a auxiliary minister. When he saw that his three sons were all guilty, he was not good-looking in appearance, so he wanted the deacon to be more lenient. This old man used to be an enemy of his servant, and his servant
Those who do the opposite now are not being hypocritical. As a servant, we must maintain balance for the country, and the affairs of the world should be handled according to the justice of the world. How can we care about our own selfishness?"
The reason why I wrote specifically to Cai Guoxi, Su Songbingbeidao, is mainly because of two reasons: First, Su Songbingbeidao is the largest official in charge of Suzhou and Songjiang under the governor Yingtian, and Bingbeidao manages the litigation prison.
The judicial power of affairs belongs to the "current management"; secondly, although Cai Guoxi himself was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing Dynasty, and is logically a disciple of Xu Jie, he had fallen out with the Xu family because of an incident before, and the personal feud was very unpleasant.
He is young, so he needs to go out of his way to explain the truth clearly to him.
Cai Guoxi served as the prefect of Suzhou from the first year of Longqing. He was honest and caring for the people, did good governance, and had a good official reputation. At that time, Xu Jie was the prime minister and was powerful, but Xu's servants were tyrannical in Suzhou. Although Cai Guoxi was a student of Xu Jie, he did not betray his position at all.
He was severely punished to save face. This matter was learned by the imperial censor who was in favor of Xu Jie, so he impeached Cai Guoxi many times. Cai Guoxi had no choice but to beg for leave and stay at home. Recently, he was reinstated by Gao Gong, who was in charge of the official department, and was promoted to Su Songbing.
Bei Dao, one of them. It was precisely because Cai Guoxi was resurrected and served as Su Song's Bing Dao, so Gao Gong was rumored to be reorganizing the Xu order.
Another incident happened when Cai Guoxi was the magistrate of Suzhou. Xu Jie's eldest son Xu Fan sent a slave to his government office. The slave was so arrogant and rude that Cai Guoxi beat him angrily. Later, Cai Guoxi passed by Songjiang on a business trip.
, a group of servants of the Xu Mansion actually drove dozens of small boats and surrounded the boat he was riding in, shouting and insulting, making it difficult for Cai Guoxi to move forward. It was not until the Songjiang Prefect personally came to mediate that the Xu Mansion family gave up.
The dignified prefect of Suzhou was so insulted by a group of slaves. Naturally, Cai Guoxi couldn't bear this tone, so he made a grudge.
After Gao Gong finished writing the letter, in order to show his sincerity, he sent the letter to Zhang Juzheng first and asked Zhang Juzheng to read it. He knew that Zhang Juzheng knew him well enough, and the most he could do in this matter was this.
One step further, let him tell the world clearly that Xu Jie can be innocent of crimes. That is obviously impossible, and Zhang Juzheng can understand it.
Sure enough, Zhang Juzheng was relieved after seeing it. The next day at the cabinet, he went to Gao Gong's signing room to express his gratitude to him. Gao Gong was still very friendly to Zhang Juzheng and was polite. Then the two chatted for a while, and Gao Gong said
He casually mentioned what Zhang Juzheng had told him about bringing Baili Gorge under the name of Sanshen Garden. Who was Zhang Juzheng? He immediately praised him and said, "This is a great contribution to eliminating a scourge in the capital. Liu Zhongcheng will be happy to hear this."
Praise, there is absolutely no reason why it should not be tolerated.”
Of course, Liu Zhongcheng was referring to Liu Yingjie, the governor of Shuntian, and since Zhang Juzheng said so, he would of course go to work for Liu Yingjie and ensure that he would "happyly praise him without any objection".
At this time, when Cao Gan heard the good news, a big stone fell in his heart. He thanked him repeatedly and said to himself: The young master of the Gao family is really talented. No wonder my mother-in-law immediately agreed to join him when she heard that he was the nephew of Mr. Gao Ge.
.Now it seems that my third uncle really meant what he said in the court. Although I lost everything this time, I gave everyone a decent way out, which is not a bad thing.
