Since the new Minister of Rongzheng has not yet been appointed, Gao Jingzhi is not in a hurry to give up his duty at the Ministry of War. At least it will be okay for him to talk to Qi Jiguang and Ma Chengxuan for a while today.
After the two of them left, Gao Pingshi also went to say goodbye to Liang Menglong and his colleagues and subordinates in the Ministry of War.
Now that Gao Pragmatic was the chief agricultural officer, he was the target of all the ministries to fawn over. Naturally, he received an enthusiastic response when he came to say goodbye. They all half-jokingly expressed to him that they hoped that the Ministry of Revenue would take more care of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War in the future.
This time, Gao Pragmatic was different from the past, and he agreed very happily. Everyone was a little surprised, because generally speaking, Da Sinong would be very reserved on this issue and would not easily agree to give special care to a certain yamen, but they didn't know that Gao Pragmatic
Did I say this casually today or do I really mean it?
However, he didn't know how to explain, and no one dared to ask more questions. Only Liang Menglong twisted his beard and smiled, knowing that Gao Pragmatic's words were definitely not false. Gao Pragmatic has always attached great importance to military affairs. In the past, he didn't care about the Ministry of Revenue, so he couldn't directly intervene. Now that he has done so
As a great Sinong, many things naturally have to be arranged according to his own wishes.
Today, there have been new changes in the situation between the cabinet and the seven ministers of the imperial court. As one of the seven ministers, Gao Pragmatic has officially entered the decision-making level of the imperial court - he used to often participate in decision-making, but that is obviously different from today's situation.
Today's cabinet has a total of six cabinet ministers. In order of order, they are Shen Shixing, the first assistant of the Zhongji Palace, Xu Guo, the second assistant of the Jianji Palace, Zhang Xueyan, the Wenhua Palace, Wu Dui, the Wuying Palace, Wen
Wang Jiaping, a bachelor of Yuange University, and Wang Xijue, a bachelor of Dongge University.
Although Sir Wang Xilin has a high status, his status as a scholar cannot be brought into the cabinet after all. Once in the cabinet, he still has to follow the order honestly. At present, he can only replace Wang Jiaping, who was the last one in the past.
In most cases, the ranking of the cabinet is in this step-by-step manner. Only in rare cases will there be differences. For example, the cabinet minister is not a new minister but a resurrected minister, or the emperor clearly designated the ranking in the edict - Gao Gong was designated.
.
Designating a ranking is not the same thing as being appointed to the cabinet by Zhongzhi. The latter will be despised by scholars, but the former will not. This is because before the emperor designated the ranking, the cabinet ministers also passed the court discussion, and no one will question him.
Qualifications.
The relationship between Wang Xijue and Zhu Yijun was obviously not good enough for Zhu Yijun to specially designate a position for him, so he had to be the last member of the group.
The changes in the seven ministers of the imperial court are also not small. They are now Yang Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Gao Pragmatic, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Xu Xuemo, the Minister of the Rites, Liang Menglong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Shu Hua, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, Shi Xing, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Shen Li, the Yushi of the Zuodu.
However, although it is customary for the "Seven Ministers of the Imperial Court" to place Zuodu Yushi last, please do not misunderstand. This does not mean that Zuodu Yushi's real status is ranked after the six ministers.
The Zuodu Censor is the governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and is known as the General Constitution, the Dadu Constitution, and the Second Prime Minister. His status is very special, but it is difficult to clearly rank. Because the Zuodu Censor's duty is to supervise all officials and discipline the world, so he has authority.
It has a lot to do with the personality and style of the person in charge.
Generally speaking, if the Censor of Zuodu is a person who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes, then the General Xian is probably afraid of everyone and worried about ghosts, and it is difficult to think about his status. On the contrary, if the Censor of Zuodu is He is a good gentleman. Although the General Constitution is certainly praised by people everywhere, his actual status is very worrying, and he may even have no sense of existence at all.
What kind of censor of Zuodu is Shen Lihui's plan? No one knows now, including Gao Jingzhen.
In addition, Shi Xing's transfer to the Minister of Industry was also very influential. Shi Xing was born in Dongming County, Daming Prefecture. From a geographical point of view, it seems natural that he should be close to Gao Dang or the current Practical School.
In fact, it was not the case. In his early years, Shi Xing's tutor was not Gao Gong, but Guo Pu, and he left politics very early. As a result, when he was young, he was outspoken and arrogant as a new Jinshi. He did some stupid things and was suppressed by Gao Gong. .
The thing is this: In the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, Shi Xing, who was only 22 years old, passed the Jinshi examination (as mentioned above, most Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty were around thirty years old), and his results were relatively high, so he entered the cabinet. He was in charge of government affairs and was later awarded the title of Pingren.
In October of the first year of Longqing, Shi Xing was promoted to the official position of Li Ke and Shizhong. After Emperor Mu Zong ascended the throne, Shi Xing didn't know which string was wrong, so he inexplicably sent out advice and put forward six rules and advice, namely, raising saints. Gong, preach the sacred science, watch the court diligently, speed up Yu Yun's speech, listen widely, and detect slander.
Originally, this kind of memorial could be written in a very "formatted" way, and the emperor would basically not take it seriously after reading it. However, Shi Xing did not. His position in the memorial was somewhat problematic, as if he was treating Emperor Longqing as a villain first, and his choice of words And very aggressive.
This is a bad example. Emperor Longqing was originally very good-tempered, but after seeing this, he became furious and gave Shi Xingchen a "slander", punished him with sixty sticks, and demoted him to the people.
Although Gao Gong, the emperor's master, was not the first assistant at the time, judging from the general situation, he could and usually should come forward to defend Shi Xing. Unexpectedly, Shi Xing's memorial also contained some implicit accusations, as if It means that Emperor Longqing was so unbearable that Gao Gong, the imperial master, should bear full responsibility.
Gao Gong originally thought that this was just Shi Xing being confused about the situation and wanted to endure it. Unexpectedly, his disciples checked and found that this was not the case at all.
What is the actual situation? It was Xu Jie who controlled the way of speech and Gao Gong's fighting skills at that time. Although Shi Xing was not Xu Jie's direct descendant, as a young Yanguan, he really thought that Gao Gong was Xu Jie under the public opinion. He said that he did not know good from evil and would repay kindness with hatred, so he became angry and spat out, openly scolding the emperor, but actually scolding Gao Gong. This suddenly made Gao Gong angry.
Gao Gong's temper was bad to begin with, and at the critical juncture of the battle with Xu Jie, Shi Xing, a young boy, jumped out to be cannon fodder. Could Gao Gong just help him? So Gao Gong no longer cared about Shi Xing. Xing said he was "a latecomer on the Northern List", not to mention supporting him, and directly signed the emperor's imperial edict of condemnation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So Shi Xing received sixty imperial rods, was dismissed from office on the spot, and was demoted to the people.
Think about it, what is the concept of a scholar receiving sixty imperial sticks under normal circumstances - twenty imperial rods are enough to kill someone seriously. Shi Xing received sixty imperial rods and actually just passed out.
Later Gao Jingshi joined the Ministry of War and found an opportunity to talk to Shi Xing about this matter. Shi Xing said that he was not blindly advocating for peace, but that he was afraid that this battle would lead to the Liaodong War and the Jurchen tribes would completely rebel. Here Everyone knows the premise - the imperial court ran out of money that year, and there would be big problems if there was another big war.
Generally speaking, Gao Pragmatic felt that Shi Xing was basically a neutral official who was slightly inclined to the pragmatic school, but deep down he might still have some concerns about the Gao family. It was not a big deal, nor was it nothing.
Now that Shi Xing has become Minister of the Ministry of Works, whether it will have any impact on the court affairs still needs to be discussed within the Pragmatic School. Neither Gao Pragmatic nor Liang Menglong are very sure about this.
The only good news is probably that the emperor's longevity palace (Wanli Dingling) is now at a critical juncture. Shi Xing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, will definitely be added as the "governor's mausoleum engineer" soon. Before the construction of the longevity palace is completed and accepted, he probably has nothing to do. Time to get involved in other things.
Shen Li and Shi Xing's questions will be put aside for now. There are two "Old Qi Qings" who need to pay attention to them next.
As mentioned before, Yang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs and Tianguan, is a neutral faction. Because he has a very good relationship with Zhang Siwei, he always behaves like an official of the Practical School.
However, the age of this Lord Tianguan is a problem - he will reach the age where he should be officially appointed as an official in two years. However, it seems that there is currently no suitable candidate for the Ministry of Personnel within the Practical School.
Originally, such an embarrassing thing would not have happened, because the previous plan within the Real School was to let Shen Li serve as the Minister of Household Affairs for a long time, and he would fill this gap when Yang Wei took office. Who knew that Shen Li Although Li was an upright man, he was really not good at managing money. When a large amount of money was needed for the opening of the vassal state and the rebellion in the northwest, he could not come up with any constructive suggestions, so he was disliked by the emperor.
If it were not for taking care of the face of the Real School, it is doubtful whether Shen Li could "evenly adjust" Zuodu Yushi this time. If he wants to take over as Tianguan in two years, it seems that it is not very safe at present.
The last person who needs attention is Shu Hua, the Minister of Punishment. Shu Hua's problem is relatively simple. The main reason is that his physical condition is really worrying. At present, a minor illness can become a serious one. He almost died after catching a cold. The emperor is worried that he will just give up and disappear, and is currently quietly observing who can replace him. This was what Chen Ju quietly told Gao pragmatically before, but Chen Ju does not know the results of the emperor's observation, nor does he know what the emperor thinks. Who hit.
The Ministry of Punishment is not originally the main position of the Real School, and Gao Pragmatic and the others do not insist on getting this position, but for this kind of thing...it doesn't matter if I can't get it, but it's best not to get it either from the Shi School.
This is always a definite idea, so Gao Pragmatic has to think about it.
When we came out of the Ministry of War, it was getting late, and there was no point in going to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Anyway, today was just the handover of the powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of War, and it was not the day when he, the great agricultural officer, took office, so Gao Pragmatic went directly back to Zhao and Jinggongfang. .
Gao Jingshi's residence in Zhaohui Jinggongfang has been renamed many times over the years. After today's imperial edict, Jinghua, with its efficient operation, actually changed the plaque before Gao Jingshi came back.
Now the plaque at the gate has been replaced by the four characters "Shang Shu Gaofu".
The characters were written in Guange style, square and round. Gao Qingshi was a little confused when he saw it at the door. He took a closer look and found that it was his own handwriting. He couldn't help but be startled.
The elusive Gao Mo suddenly came out and saw the master staring at the door plaque in a daze. He quickly explained: "This is the master's original work. It was just copied from the master's calligraphy by the calligrapher. No wonder the master is suspicious."
Oh, that’s it. Gao Pragmatic nodded and asked, “Are there any guests in the house?”
Gao Mo smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, the boss and his gang of princes, marquises, uncles, and old slaves almost couldn't greet me."
Gao pragmatic put his hand on his forehead and sighed: "These people... well, I know what they are afraid of, so I will go and comfort them."
