Back home that day, Gao Pragmatic stayed alone in the small building and thought for a long time. He was not only worried about the situation of Gao's party in the next few years, but also anxious about the continuity of the New Deal.
He knows Shen Shixing well. After all, Mr. Shen Ge served as an official for Zhu Yijun, which is equivalent to teaching him for several years. Shen Shixing must be a typical Xinxue school in politics. Although he has a soft personality,
He is more keen on striking a balance, but once he becomes the first assistant, it will definitely be equivalent to putting a brake on the advancement of the New Deal, and he will inevitably encounter greater resistance.
But he can't solve this problem now!
Guo Pu is not his subordinate, he is his teacher. This teacher has abided by the law all his life. He feels that since the rule of seventy years for officials in the Ming Dynasty exists, unless there is a big event that breaks the earth, they should abide by it. Gao pragmatically knows that he
I couldn't persuade him, so I had to give up.
As for my uncle Zhang Siwei... who can guarantee his health? I can only ask for God's blessing.
Gao pragmatic thought for a long time, and finally he could only sigh.
Forget it, it's going to rain and my mother is getting married. There's only so much I can do now. Since I can't solve it, I can only leave it to the future. I'd better think about what I can do in Guangxi next.
Although the rank of the censor is low, his power is huge. After arriving in Guangxi, with his family background and his status as the top six emperors, he can be much tougher than in the capital. Maybe he can rectify the officialdom?
But these are all things that have no trace. I only know that Guangxi is in chaos now, but I am still at a loss as to what kind of chaos it is and why it is chaotic. There is no point in thinking about it. It is better to get the place first.
Check.
Early the next morning, Gao Pingshi, led by Wang Guoguang, went to the palace with another censor to meet the emperor.
Zhu Yijun didn't look very good, but the selection was quick - after Wang Guoguang introduced the two candidates for Guangxi patrol, Zhu Yijun directly selected Gao Pragmatic without even saying a word.
Gao Pragmatic felt the anger in his heart. Of course, this anger was not directed at Gao Pragmatic. It was a kind of anger caused by power being suppressed and dignity being ignored.
Historically, he was also forced to issue an edict this year by his mother, Queen Mother Li, and the crime was even more ridiculous than this time.
That time, he drank some wine and ordered a young eunuch next to him to sing a new song. However, the young eunuch refused. Zhu Yijun took advantage of the wine to get angry and said that he would chop off the young eunuch's head. Of course, the people around him persuaded him.
He then said that he would keep his head and cut off a bunch of hair as punishment.
As a result, Empress Dowager Li soon found out about this. Empress Dowager Li was furious. She ordered Zhu Yijun to kneel down and threatened him to appoint King Lu as the new king. At the same time, she sent someone to inform Zhang Juzheng, asking Zhang Juzheng to write an imperial edict on behalf of the emperor.
Zhu Yijun cried bitterly and knelt down outside Cining Palace to beg his mother's forgiveness. Empress Dowager Li sent someone to ask Zhang Juzheng to come and teach Zhu Yijun a lesson in person. After a long lecture, the matter was finally over, and without further ado, Zhu Yijun issued an edict.
Has.
Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that Zhu Yijun had to go through the ordeal of issuing an edict to punish himself in the eighth year of Wanli. Relatively speaking, this time it was a bit normal. At least he didn't punish himself because of a little eunuch's hair.
Edict...
However, this time Zhu Yijun was guilty of the incident, and he was unlucky. Of course, whether this time is considered unlucky or not, it is still difficult to say.
On the one hand, the most likely promotion route for Gao Pangshi was cut off: first as a historian in the Hanlin Academy, then as a lecturer in Japan, with mixed seniority upgrades. In the middle, he might go to the Imperial Academy to serve as a priest, and then return to the Hanlin Academy to study as a bachelor and become a master.
After that, he would become a minister of a certain ministry (most likely the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials), and then he would either directly enter the cabinet as a minister, or join the cabinet as a minister after two years of work.
This road is the most noble route for Ming Dynasty officials to enter the cabinet, especially the most common route for the number one scholar. For example, Li Chunfang, the number one scholar in the 26th year of Jiajing period, took this route to enter the cabinet.
To put it simply, this route is both relaxing and comfortable, yet extremely noble, and is the envy of the world.
But now this route has been cut off and changed to another one, that is, the foreign official route. This route is too complicated to explain in detail, but if you put it more concisely, it is nothing more than making various achievements in the local area.
Then he was transferred back to the capital to serve as a minister, then minister, and then a cabinet...
Compared with the first route, this route is both hard and dangerous. If you take any wrong step, you may sink in the sand halfway, and even the step of returning to Beijing triumphantly may not be safe - Ling Yunyi will not be there this year.
Did you fall into that step?
Another problem is that I went too far south this time. I even went to Guangxi. This is no better than returning to my hometown in Xinzheng, which is only ten days and a half month away at most. After going to Guangxi, the capital city
Bian's main industry will be in a state of being without a backbone, and we don't know if there will be any problems.
Zhu Yijun obviously had no idea that Gao Jingshi would be thinking about so many issues in his mind. He just felt that Gao Jingshi seemed to be distracted after Wang Guoguang took another censor away.
This made Zhu Yijun a little embarrassed. He thought that Gao Pragmatic was unprepared for being "downgraded and transferred to foreign posts", so he was a little confused. But the root cause of this matter was him, the emperor, and Gao Pragmatic was just acting on his behalf.
Accepted.
"Pragmatic, I have wronged you this time." There were no outsiders in the West Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace at this moment, only Zhu Yijun, Chen Ju and Gao Jingshi. Chen Ju was his confidant and there was no need to hide anything from him, so Zhu Yijun walked down directly
He got up from the throne and came to Gao Pingshi's side.
Gao pragmatic knew that Zhu Yijun was actually the most depressed person at this time, so he comforted him half-jokingly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. I heard that the censor is very powerful now that he's here. I'm here."
The first time I served as an imperial envoy was ten years ago. I am actually very happy to have the opportunity to experience the majesty of an imperial envoy again this time."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is what he, a classmate who has been reading with the emperor for ten years, dares to say...
Sure enough, when Zhu Yijun heard what he said, he couldn't help but chuckle, shook his head, and said seriously: "Pragmatic, although the censor's authority is great, he also has great responsibility. You must not ignore it. Moreover, Guangxi is currently in chaos.
Very well, although Yin Zhengmao and Ling Yunyi achieved two great victories one after another, and Liu Yaojie also achieved a great victory not long ago, I don’t know why, but the Tong Wei Rebellion was like a gourd vine pressed into the water.
I press this gourd and another gourd floats up, I don’t know when it will end.”
Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "After I arrive in Guangxi, I will check carefully to see where the root of this problem is. If possible, it is best to find a way to cure it."
"I knew you would think so. This is your consistent thinking." Zhu Yijun said, but shook his head: "I think before that, whether it was Yin Zhengmao or Ling Yunyi, regardless of their character and official reputation, at least they were not mediocre.
, I think there must be no reason why they did not implement the "radical cure" method. After you arrive in Guangxi, no matter whether you have discovered the root cause you mentioned, don't take action easily. Let me know first.
, otherwise even if I agree to what you do, I don’t know how to cooperate with you, do you understand?"
What he said was truly sincere. Gao Pragmatic stopped laughing and bowed with a solemn expression to thank him.
Zhu Yijun nodded, sighed again, and said: "I only learned about the arrangements for you by the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate yesterday. Speaking of which, I am very conflicted now. I hope you can come back early, but I am also worried.
Years are simply not enough time to clarify the source of the chaos in Guangxi. Alas... your errand is not easy to handle. If it doesn't work, just follow Liu Yao and share some of the military merits with them, and wait until Yao'e and Yao's marriage is completed.
, I will find a reason to transfer you back to Beijing when the time comes."
When it comes to the marriage of the third princess and the fourth princess, Zhu Yijun is obviously in a low mood.
However, Zhu Yijun's words were obviously well-intentioned. Many years ago, he regarded Gao Pragmatic as his future minister. In his opinion, the minister of Fubi should naturally stay with him, so he would rather Gao Pragmatic.
I'll hang out outside for a year, and then I can find any reason to be transferred back to the capital. I don't want Gao Jingjing to cause any trouble outside. Although he believes in Gao Jingjing's ability, he is afraid that he will never
If he gets into something that he can't get away from, that's trouble!
All in all, Zhu Yijun has the same views as the officials of the Hanlin Academy. They both think that staying with the emperor is the most important thing - in the Ming Dynasty at this moment, even if you are just a daily lecturer explaining a paragraph of text to the emperor every day, it is better than being outside.
Being a governor is more impressive.
This is because if a Japanese official does well, he might be able to join the cabinet tomorrow, but if a governor from another province wants to join the cabinet, there is at least two big steps in between.
However, Gao Wuzhi is now a little complacent - thinking about how hard he worked back then, he only became the mayor in his thirties and was only a department-level cadre. Now, although his rank has been reduced to the seventh rank, he still has great power.
The secretary of the provincial committee is still powerful!
With such good conditions, if he doesn't seize the time to do something, is he worthy of the old saying "Once the power is in hand, follow the orders"? Therefore, following the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Liu Yaojie and others to do some military exploits is not his responsibility
The scope of consideration is not to say that military merit is not needed, but that it cannot be relied on.
If I want military merit, I have to get it in a dignified way!
Although it is debatable whether it is okay to direct the war by myself, but at least I can do a good job in logistics supervision. It will not be difficult for me, Gao, right?
It seems that for the war in Guangxi a few years ago, the annual expenditure was only two to three hundred thousand taels of silver. If it is not possible, I have to earn some nice military honors even if I have to break up my family and serve the country... The uncle is rich, but he is so willful, what's wrong?
Hey, wait, since there are wars everywhere in Guangxi, shouldn't I bring some servants there? Don't get killed by the mob on the way to take office, then there will be no place to complain.
But since I am a patrol commissioner, not a governor, if I bring a large group of armed servants with me, will I be impeached? After all, in theory, I am only responsible for supervising the army, not leading it.
Zhu Yijun saw that he was frowning and had a strange look on his face, so he couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about? If you have any difficulties, please ask immediately."
Gao Pragmatic was happy when he heard it. Since the emperor is so righteous, I won't be polite.
Immediately he said: "I am thinking that since there is no peace in Guangxi, can I take some of my servants on the road?"
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "The governor has a supervisory standard, and the governor has a supervisory standard. Their servants have the court in charge of food and salary, but you are the patrol governor, and there is no such precedent..."
Gao Pragmatic immediately said: "It doesn't matter, I don't need to be paid by the court."
"I know you have money!" Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes: "Then you can take care of it yourself, but don't make it too much. If someone comes in, it will be a problem."
Gao Jingshi was overjoyed and quickly handed over his hand: "I thank the emperor for your kindness."
