The emperor left with the two princesses. Gao pragmatically walked to the door before returning to the small building. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gao Mo already waiting there.
Gao Jingshi was not surprised at all, and said directly: "Did you hear what the emperor and I just said? Arrange for someone to go to Yanghe (the residence of the Governor of Xuanda four years after Longqing) and tell him what I said. Please hurry up, Brother Wu.
Make final arrangements in Xuanda and prepare to return to Beijing to serve as Grand Sima."
Gao Mo didn't ask any more questions or question it. Although Zhu Yijun didn't clearly say who the Minister of War would choose, his eldest son had been a classmate of the emperor for ten years, so he must have a better understanding of the emperor's language habits. Since he was so sure, he couldn't believe it.
It would be wrong, so I should bow down.
Gao Mo is also almost fifty years old. As the saying goes, old people don’t rely on their muscles and bones for strength. This is not the world of martial arts. Of course, his main job has slowly changed from a bodyguard to a "civilian", and he has restored the status of the servant guard group.
Officially handed over to Gao Jue, he served as director of Gao Pangshi's newly established "Internal Affairs Department".
However, this Internal Affairs Office is not a highly pragmatic nanny office. If we use a simple analogy to describe its main responsibilities, it is equivalent to a highly pragmatic factory guard. The East Factory and Jinyiwei within the Jinghua system now have the Internal Affairs Department packaged with all
Done.
The Internal Affairs Department of Jinghua is currently in the initial stage. There are only three departments in total, namely the Security Department, the Special Service Department and the Auditing Department. The operating funds of the Internal Affairs Department are recorded in separate accounts and special expenditures in a highly pragmatic manner, and do not follow any account within the Jinghua system.
.
The Security Section is responsible for a relatively simple task, which is the security of Gao Pragmatic himself and his two residences in Beijing. Others include the Jianxinzhai Courtyard. Because a guard group of servants is stationed, the Security Section is not responsible. The manpower of this Section is not
There are many, there are currently less than 200 people, but they are all selected from the best of the various armed systems under the name of Jinghua, and their characteristic is that they all have families - not necessarily wives and children, but the whole family must be here
Under the control of Jinghua.
Compared with the simplicity of the Security Section, the tasks that the Special Service Section is responsible for are more complex. They include not only internal surveillance of the system, but also external intelligence gathering, including Gao Pragmatic, who has been thinking about expanding the intelligence network to the south. They even take on some similar tasks.
In order to go to Fujian, Guangdong and other places to search for "seeds of agricultural products spread from overseas" and "various nautical charts of the East, Southeast Asia and other places" and other strange tasks, this special service unit has already booked the "most recent tasks" of the Internal Affairs Office in advance.
The name "Can Spend Money".
In fact, to a certain extent, the Audit Section exists in conjunction with the Special Service Section, because the Special Service Section is only responsible for collecting intelligence, but is not responsible for summarizing and proposing handling opinions, so this work is the responsibility of the Audit Section. By the way, the Audit Section will also
Evaluate the results achieved by the special service department after spending money. If the results are too poor - Jinghua also has a "class examination method" internally.
Of course, sending a message to Wu Dui was now left to the Special Service Section. After Gao Pragmatic handed over this small task, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Am I a bit like a commoner prime minister now?
However, this thought only passed by for a moment. After all, he knew in his heart that a civilian prime minister was, to put it bluntly, a fake and powerful person without a formal identity. Although under certain circumstances, he might be less restrained than a real prime minister, he could still borrow power.
It is always the power of others. Once the Holy Family is slightly unstable, this castle in the air can only collapse instantly.
It would be interesting to be a true prime minister...
I just don’t know if Zhu Yijun, who was not taught to be psychologically distorted by Zhang Juzheng, will go to the point where he will not see his foreign ministers in the future. If he still wants to be an otaku emperor in the future, if only I, a highly pragmatic foreign minister, can see him,
That's almost like a real prime minister - although he still doesn't have the power to open a government, but "isolating China and foreign countries" is also very big, equivalent to the responsibility of the foreign minister and the internal minister.
But these are still far away. At least for now, it seems that classmate Zhu Yijun is still very normal.
Hey, wait, there seems to be something a little abnormal. At least today when he mentioned finding a consort for the third princess, he felt quite helpless about the "ancestral system". This helplessness may not be caused by dissatisfaction and inability to change.
.
Gao Pangshi was thinking wildly when he suddenly saw Cao Ke hurried in, handed out two books to him, and said: "Young master, Zhang Butang, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Wei Butang, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, came to visit together. Now we are here."
We have arrived at the gate, these are the names of the two of them."
Gao Pingshi was startled for a moment, then took the card and took a look. Sure enough, it was Zhang Xueyan and Wei Xuezeng who were here.
Although he couldn't figure out the reason, Gao Pragmatic immediately ordered: "Open the middle door, please sit down in the flower hall of the Ministry Hall for a while, and say that I will be there soon after taking a bath and changing clothes."
Bathing and changing clothes are the etiquette for meeting important guests. Although Gao Pragmatic always feels that this etiquette is a waste of time, there is nothing he can do. He doesn't want these two people to feel slighted.
After Cao Ke went down, Gao Qingshi quickly went to take a bath - oh, take a shower and change clothes.
I changed into a sapphire blue Taoist robe (not worn by Taoist priests...), smoked some incense, and then hurried to the flower hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Gao Pingshi saw two officials wearing "big red dragon robes" arguing about something. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that they were both wearing flying fish suits, also known as "big red silk flying fish suits" - this thing is in the local area
It is rare among civil servants, but it is not particularly rare among high-ranking officials in the capital, including high-ranking pragmatists.
However, Gao Qingshi had a keen eye and discovered that one of them's flying fish suit was slightly different, in the shape of a sitting python, while the other's suit was the same as Gao Qingshi's, in the shape of a normal walking python.
Gao Pragmatic raised his hands and said to the one wearing the python and flying fish costume: "Wan Sheng has seen Zhang Butang." Then he said to the other one: "I have seen Wei Butang."
The two ministers did not show any pretense and both stood up. One of them, Zhang Xueyan, smiled and said: "How did Gao Longwen recognize me?"
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "I heard that Budang was once awarded a python and flying fish for his military exploits in Liaodong, so he knew it."
Zhang Xueyan was suddenly enlightened and immediately praised: "People say that Gao Longwen knows a little bit, but when I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
Wei Xuezeng said with a smile: "Brother Xinzhai, Gao Longwen is not just a small-minded person. His reputation as the 'Little God of Wealth that brings Buddhas to all families' is the purpose of your visit today, right?"
Zhang Xueyan laughed and said: "Brother Que'an, isn't that why you are here? I think we are still the eldest brother, Mo Xiao, the second brother. We all came to Gao Longwen for advice, so stop teasing each other and ask Gao Longwen to think of a way earlier.
It is only right to settle the current situation."
Gao Pragmatic knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song, and he knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it. The two of them came together today, and before they even started talking, they laid the groundwork - they must be here for money!
I just don’t know what’s going on. You can’t borrow money from me, right? If you are borrowing money individually, that’s easy to do. But if you are a minister of the Ministry of household affairs and a minister of the Ministry of industry, it’s not a big deal if you both come to my place. Maybe it's a private loan. It's not like the imperial court is asking me to borrow money. Then it's not easy to handle. This is the Ming Dynasty, not Europa...
Gao pragmatic said quickly: "You two are so polite. I am a late student with little talent and little knowledge. How can I dare to be the 'asking for advice' for you two from the ministry? I wonder why you two came here today? Oh, by the way, you two asked me to ask for truth at night. This is It was the word given to me by Master Yu Gong, who was a late student, after the Henan Provincial Examination."
After all, Zhang Xueyan and Wei Xuezeng were elders, so they were not polite when they sat down. After sitting down, they looked at each other first, and then Zhang Xueyan said, "You must be aware of the fact that Mr.
Gao pragmatic nodded: "I understand."
Zhang Xueyan sighed: "In June of this year, the Ministry of Household Affairs was ordered to inspect the northern and southern capitals, Shandong, and Shaanxi Xunqi Tianfu, and found out something serious."
