Chapter 277 Aiding Korea and Fighting the Japanese (Seventeen) A New Era
Shangshu Gaofu - Oh no, the discussion in Nanning Houfu lasted for a long time. It was not until the lights came up that they talked about some recent related matters. The march, the ceremony, and Gao Pangshi, who had been discussing for a whole day, finally
Feeling a little tired.
However, God destined him to be busy tonight, and he received several more news at this time.
The first news was that the emperor was very impatient. After Gao Jingshi left the palace, he issued another oral edict, requesting that a cabinet ministerial nomination with the participation of all nine ministers be held tomorrow. Gao Jingshi, as the Minister of Household Affairs who never left office when he went to Mongolia, theorized that
I also had to participate in the promotion.
However, considering that the number one candidate for the nomination this time was himself, he thought for a while and declined to attend tomorrow in front of the angels. Of course, he would not directly say "to avoid suspicion", but said that he
I have accumulated fatigue from the battles in the past period, so I will ask for leave tomorrow to recuperate.
According to the workaholic regulations of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty had very few holidays, but senior officials of the court naturally always had some privileges. For example, ministers above the ministry level had a high degree of tolerance when it came to asking for leave, whether it was personal leave or sick leave.
, basically as long as you mention it, the emperor will approve it - this is called caring for his ministers.
Since Tingtui is not going, then where will Gao pragmatism go? He wants to say goodbye to Xu Guo.
The relationship between Xu Guo and Gao Pragmatic has been quite tense in recent years. This is something that goes without saying and everyone in the court is aware of it. However, in terms of factions, Xu Guo has always been of the pragmatic school.
In addition, as Xu Guo was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing, he was Gao Gong's disciple after all. Even though he had some disagreements with Gao Gongshi in the past few years, now that he has returned to his hometown as an official, Gao Jingshi, as Xu Guo's "brother", will always get the honor.
Put on the proper posture and break off the willows yourself (to say goodbye) to show respect.
The next day I saw him off in the west of the city. Gao pragmatically went alone, with only a few servants, and found that there were very few people who came to see Xu Guo off, probably no more than ten people, almost all of whom were his disciples in Beijing. Gao pragmatically looked left and right
Shen Li was nowhere to be found, so she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Xu Guo was wearing a green cloth robe today, which must have been intentional, but he did look free and easy. Seeing Gao's pragmatic expression, he knew that he was looking for Shen Li, so he smiled and said, "If Rixin looks for Longjiang, it will be great."
No need, you know who he is. Back then, if he wasn’t called upon by Enxiang, he wouldn’t even take the initiative to go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
Gao pragmatic also laughed, nodded and said: "That's right. Senior Brother Long Jiang once said in the past, 'State affairs must be done in private affairs, not in the body.' However, he rarely interacted with him, and even only did so on the day of worshiping Confucius every year.
Take the initiative to visit my uncle..."
He paused and sighed: "It's all old things, we can't look back on them again."
"If you can't pursue it, why pursue it?" Xu Guo now seemed to have no official position and was light-hearted. The long-lost open-mindedness returned to him. He narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Old things and old people will eventually go away, just like the water of the great river.
It went east and entered the sea. Instead of lamenting that it never came back, future generations should be less obsessed and think more about water control, which would benefit the country and the people."
Gao Pangshi was a little surprised. He felt that Xu Guoyi's resignation made him seem more like a real "Pragmatic School". However, although he had these thoughts in his heart, he still agreed and said: "What Senior Brother Yingyang taught me is that I must be careful."
remember."
"Teach me a lesson?" Xu Guo laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Who in the world can teach you a lesson, Gao Rixin!"
Gao pragmatic didn't know what he wanted to say, so he could only laugh along and replied: "Senior brother, these words are also a lesson."
"No, I'm just saying that no one can teach you a lesson - this sentence itself is not a lesson, it is just a statement of facts." Xu Guochang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Rixin, you and I have been quite foreign in recent years. I
I know it, and you know it too. But I have returned to my hometown today, so I can say some things clearly..."
Gao Jingshi said sternly: "Senior brother, I have some advice. Pragmatic Ding must remember to reflect on himself."
Obviously there was still a strong sense of pretense in these words, but Xu Guo didn't care and just continued: "Not only are your talents rare in ancient and modern times, but your layout and adaptability are unparalleled. I watched the people in the court
Sir, even if we are tied together, we may not be your rival. However, you also have your problems."
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "Senior brother, I'm so impressed. How can I be so capable? It's just a matter of time."
Xu Guo still ignored his modesty and said: "Your problem is that you say you are modest, but in your heart you are extremely conceited."
Gao Pragmatic was stunned, even speechless for a moment. Speaking of it, this was the first time that he was evaluated like this. After all, after so many years, although he has the best performance in all aspects such as knowledge, politics, and military leadership, he still has
He has always behaved very modestly and self-control, but this is the first time that this "arrogant" comment has been placed on him.
Xu Guo seemed to be very satisfied with Gao Pragmatic's reaction. He smiled slightly and said: "Those who practice practical learning all over the world regard daily innovation as radical and state as conservative. Is this true? Either way, or not, it doesn't matter.
Yes.
I only have one question today, and I hope the sun will come out and I won’t shy away from it, so I’ll tell you the truth: in your future years, how can those who hold other political views still survive?”
Gao Pragmatic was surprised again and frowned: "Senior brother, this question is really unexpected... Could it be that senior brother thinks that my younger brother is suspected of taking over power?"
"Maybe you don't have this intention, but you have this ability." Xu Guo suppressed his smile and said seriously: "With each passing day, this world is the emperor's world after all, not yours. The emperor believes in you and respects you twenty years ago.
No one in the world has been able to surpass you, but now you have conquered the Yuan Dynasty and made a triumphant return, but you have been granted a title for your merits in civil affairs. This is a special case for a hundred years, which shows how much the emperor treats you."
Gao Pingshi vaguely guessed what Xu Guo's worries were, so he forcibly intervened and said: "You treat me as a countryman, and I will repay you as a countryman."
Xu Guo was interrupted by Gao Pragmatic's words, but he was hardly affected. He quickly continued: "Rixin, don't get me wrong, I don't suspect you of any disloyalty, I'm just worried... if this continues
, you may lose respect for the imperial court in the future, and may even forcefully suppress anyone who opposes you in order to promote your ideas."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Pingshi already understood what he meant, nodded and said: "In that case, I will answer the question that my senior brother just asked: What if I come to Japan to rule the world?"
, those who hold dissident political views... they can survive, but their politics cannot be implemented."
After Xu Guo heard this, he didn't seem too surprised. He just nodded and said: "In that case, I hope Rixin's grand plan can be carried out. The country is gone, Rixin please come back."
With that said, Xu Guo waved and turned around, walking towards the ox cart approved by the emperor to be used as a post station to take him back to his hometown, and never looked back. Several of his disciples came up to say goodbye, but he just waved and said "treasure"
.
Gao pragmatic followed up, placed a willow branch next to the shaft of the car, said "treasure", and then turned and left.
A pair of "brothers" who are three years apart in age (i.e. three twelve years), both worked hard for the prosperity of the Practical School in the early Gao Gong era, but they finally found their way when they were about to reach their peak.
dispute, and eventually parted ways after Gao Pragmatic gained an absolute advantage.
The only good thing is probably that the situation of gentlemen's struggle and harmony without differences was finally maintained. From then on, mountains and rivers never met, and there was no way to know whether they were good or bad.
After bidding farewell to Xu Guo, Gao Pragmatic was also a little emotional. He always felt that this seemed to mean the end of one era and the beginning of another. What ended was the era in which the two schools of practical knowledge were fighting; what started was Gao Dang's words.
era.
There are not many internal constraints anymore, and it is time to travel lightly. However, since Gao Yingshi has already said that he wants to rest today, it seems a bit inappropriate to say goodbye to Xu Guo, and it is even worse to continue to be carefree, so Gao Yingshi still chooses
Go home early.
Of course, no one in the Nanning Marquis is recuperating, so no one is allowed to enter. On the contrary, the highly pragmatic students came together to congratulate him today.
Gao Pragmatic already has many disciples, but there is actually a difference between "students" and "disciples" in the officialdom. The three "students" in the officialdom who receive the most attention from him are mainly: Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao,
Fang Congzhe.
These three were all Jinshi in the 11th year of Wanli. They were only one subject later than Gao Jingshi. According to the consistent rules of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually unlikely that they would become Gao Jingshi's students. However, Gao Jingshi could easily become a special case.
, so he became a fellow examiner that year, happened to pick the papers of these three, became their room master, and was finally worshiped as their mentor by the three of them.
Nine years have passed since the eleventh year of Wanli. These three people have almost had enough experience in the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu. Now among these three people, Li Tingji has served as a wine sacrificer in the Imperial Academy; Fang Congzhe has served as his
Ye Xianggao still stayed in the Hanlin Academy and served as one of the ministerial bachelors (the "establishment" of the Hanlin Academy's bachelor of ministers and the bachelor of ministers are two people).
As the highest academic institution in the imperial court, the Imperial College is similar to the ancient Taixue. Its wine-making and department functions are equivalent to the principal and executive vice-president, so these two positions are actually very important. For example, Gao Gong served as the Imperial College's wine-making department.
At that time, the director of the Imperial College who worked with him was Zhang Juzheng.
As for Ye Xianggao's bachelor's degree, that is also an important position. This is because under normal circumstances, the top theoretical leader in the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin bachelor, is often absent. Therefore, the four bachelors with the prefix "shi" are often the "scholars" in the Hanlin Academy.
"Four Big Four", and who among these four has the final say depends on which one of these four the emperor chooses to "take charge of the affairs of the court".
It's a coincidence that Ye Xianggao is currently the "in charge of the academy." By the way, after the three of them passed the Jinshi examination that year, it was Chen Yubi who was responsible for presiding over the next examination to select common people. And Gao was pragmatic.
Under their guidance and arrangements, the three of them all achieved outstanding results in their library selections, and were deeply appreciated by Chen Yubi.
In addition, he later subdued the Chen Party and promoted Chen Yubi to the position of Heavenly Official. Therefore, before Chen Yubi resigned from the Hanlin Academy as "in charge of affairs", he recommended the only highly pragmatic disciple who remained in the Hanlin Academy.
Ye Xianggao succeeded him. Of course the emperor also knew that Ye Xianggao's teacher was Gao pragmatism, so the appointment was approved without any trouble.
In a word, it can be said that the current top three academic officials in the Ming Dynasty have been dominated by the three disciples of Gao Pangshi for two or three years.
In fact, their subject, that is, the Guiwei Section Gold List in the 11th year of Wanli, is full of talents. Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe have all been first assistants in the original history, let alone the list.
There are also many celebrities.
The top three students in this subject are Zhu Guozuo, Li Tingji, and Liu Yingqiu. Zhu Guozuo, the top scholar, is handsome and has beautiful handwriting. However, during the Wanli Dynasty, he basically worked in the East Palace, that is, in Zhan Shifu, and rarely had the opportunity to appear. It turns out that he worked in the East Palace.
Historically, Emperor Guangzong Taichang only entered the cabinet at the end of the dynasty, but unfortunately Guangzong was short-lived. In the third year of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian felt that he was very troublesome, so he drove Zhu Guozuo home.
The second person on the list is Li Tingji, so I don’t need to introduce him. Liu Yingqiu, the most popular person, was arrogant and disliked many official styles. He often ridiculed high-ranking officials, thus offending many people. He never became a high-ranking official in his life, but he had a close relationship with Tang Xianzu.
good.
However, it didn't matter that Liu Yingqiu himself failed in officialdom. His son Liu Tongsheng was actually very successful. He won the first prize in the ten years of Chongzhen and did better than his father. Later, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he fought against the Qing Dynasty in his hometown in Jiangxi and died of fatigue, which can be regarded as
He devoted his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
Needless to say, Ye Xianggao, the top 12, and Fang Congzhe, the top 30. Shen Yongmao, the 22nd top, is the son of Shen Shixing. Because there was still talk about Shen Yongmao being a Jinshi at that time
Officials impeached Shen Shixing, but Zhu Yijun ignored it at the time.
Similar to Shen Yongmao's situation, Zhang Siwei's son Zhang Jiazheng was also impeached and said that he relied on Zhang Siwei's reputation to go to high school. However, like Shen Yongmao, there was no solid evidence.
In fact, these situations are the same as Wang Xijue's son Wang Heng. If his father passed the exam when he was in power, he would inevitably be questioned or even impeached. But in fact, literary talents are real - almost all elite education in this era is in the families of civil servants, because
The civil servants themselves relied on taking exams to get ahead. Who wouldn't like the "chicken baby" attribute?
However, Wang Xijue's temper became even more explosive and he directly asked Wang Heng to stop taking the exam and wait until he abdicated before taking the exam again. The result was still second place and second in the world.
Guo Zhengyu, the twenty-seventh person in the second class, later became a big boss of the Donglin Party. He served as Zhu Changluo's daily lecturer for many years, and he was also strongly recommended by the Donglin Party for a long time, hoping to let him join the cabinet. However, the Donglin Party
This may not necessarily be the case. For example, he also had a bad relationship with Shen Yi, and his subsequent resignation was related to this.
The forty-seventh person in the second class was Xu Dahua of the Donglin Party. This person was used by the eunuchs to impeach Xiong Tingbi and destroyed the Great Wall, leaving him with eternal infamy.
Born 221 in Sanjia and Jinshi, he was Tang Xianzu, the author of the literary masterpiece "The Peony Pavilion".
Two hundred and seventy-one people were born in the same category as Jinshi, and the last one was Liang Yunlong, a fellow student of Hai Rui.
Liang Yunlong was born on an island and was naturally extremely poor. He went to school at the age of thirteen and did not become famous until he was fifty. Hai Rui, who was idle at home at the time, wrote a letter to celebrate him. It was also a celebration for Hainan, which was super weak in imperial examinations. Liang Yunlong was in Hainan
He was still somewhat famous, and he admired Hai Rui throughout his life. After he became an official, he even wrote an article for Hai Rui.
In short, there are many famous people in this subject, and now Gao Pragmatic feels that since he, as a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli, can be a cabinet minister, it is necessary for his peers and disciples to start using it. The arrangements for the same year have been
It's ongoing, but it's not possible to meet immediately right now, so we need to meet the students first.
