In the next ten days, Gao Jingshi did not stay in Mingjiang City, but went to Haiyuan City to support Huang Zhiting. Whenever he met the chieftains who came to report on their duties, Huang Zhiting would accompany him.
Someone may ask, isn't Gao Pragmatic worried about being caught and impeached, saying that he engages in power and sex trade?
This is really not scary.
The Ming Dynasty is quite magical on this issue. Regarding any "story" that happens between Ming officials and foreign women, no matter the court, officials or scholars, not only will they not criticize them, but they will be happy to see the results, and even be proud of them.
There is a very famous example. When Wu Dui, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was the governor of Xuanfu and the governor of Xuanda, he had a very close relationship with Zhongjinhatun of Anda Khan, that is, Sanniangzi. Sanniangzi often used it to inspect border trade.
He had the opportunity to visit Wu Dui and stayed at Wu Dui's place.
Of course, Wu Dui himself said that he treated his third wife like a daughter. Well... I don’t know if this pragmatic senior brother Wu would let his own daughter dance for him when he was at home. It must be impossible.
However, the relationship between Wu Dui and Sanniangzi did not arouse any dissatisfaction among anyone within the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, some people often joked and ridiculed in private, and even dared to ridicule Wu Dui for being Tumote's "fake sweat".
Mongolia has been the old enemy of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, and it has only been paying tribute for a few years? However, the Ming Dynasty does not care about this kind of thing at all, and even feels that it is a profit...
Gao Pragmatic was naturally well aware of these situations, so not to mention that there was no further story between him and Huang Zhiting. Even if there was, he didn't care at all, because the court might be quite happy about it.
He has also thought about the mentality of these people, and after thinking about it, there is only one reason that can be explained: It is like a Chinese man in later generations marrying a foreign wife. Everyone smiles when they find out about it, thinking that it is a profit! But on the other hand, if it is
When a Chinese woman marries a foreign man, the situation is completely different.
To put it bluntly, this is just a common thought in a patriarchal society, because the identity of a child is determined by the father. A child born to a foreign wife must also have the father's surname, which is equivalent to strengthening the clan and even higher status.
, is to strengthen the own nation; on the contrary, it is to strengthen other ethnic groups...
Although the Huang chieftains were originally Han people, after all, they were now Tongren chieftains. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, their Han identity was questionable, and most of the time they were classified together with Tongren. Therefore, even if Gao Jizhenzhen and Huang Zhiting
No matter what the story is, everyone will just laugh, and even those who are close to him may be proud of it.
Gao Jingshi did not shy away from suspicion, and Huang Zhiting didn't seem to mind others gossiping. She followed Gao Jingshi every day to receive the Guinan chieftain who came to report on his work, and introduced Gao Yuntai one by one as a landlord.
She knew the virtues of these chieftains very well. They didn't care whether anything happened between her and Gao Pragmatic. They only cared about whether Gao Pragmatic's attitude towards her was good enough and how good it was. Only this was the key. Because in the
After Zhang Ren became seriously ill, his pragmatic attitude was largely equivalent to that of the imperial court.
Judging from the current situation, Gao Press is very satisfied with the eldest daughter of the Huang family...
So in just a few days, Huang Zhiting's status in Guinan improved significantly. In the past few years, everyone only regarded her as a temporary transitional figure during the period when Siming Mansion had no one in charge. In the future, whether Huang Chengzu regains his strength or Huang Yinglei
Now that she is "sensible", Miss Huang has nothing to do with her in the Siming Mansion. In the end, she will just marry a certain chieftain and have children.
But now it seems that the situation seems to have changed. Miss Huang not only takes charge of Siming Prefecture affairs, but her original identity of actually taking charge of government affairs has not changed. This can't help but make some chieftains with a long-term vision have some doubts.
Lenovo.
Could it be that the imperial court wanted to depose Huang Yinglei or even Huang Yingping's inheritance rights, and instead let Huang Zhiting take over?
This is not some nonsense, the imperial court really has this power!
Although the chieftain was a native emperor, except in the early Ming Dynasty, his subsequent appointment to office was more and more strictly controlled by the imperial court. For example, there are many clear regulations in the "Da Ming Huidian" that Gao Jingshi just compiled.
For example, in terms of age regulations for assuming office, in the 15th year of Yongle it was stipulated that the chieftain's children could ascend to the office if they were ten years old or older. However, in the second year of Hongzhi, it was changed to five years or older before they could be designated and registered, and those who were over fifteen years old could ascend to the office. For example
If the year is not up, the people will be ordered to join the officials and take charge of affairs, etc.
Another example is the process of appointment. The appointment based on blood is certainly one aspect. In the early days, chieftains had to go to the capital in person to submit their duties. After meeting with the emperor, everything was correct before they could accept the appointment. In the sixth year of Zhengtong, "incumbent appointment" began.
Become a surveyor.
The procedure for guaranteeing the survey was clan title, with subordinate officials and local chiefs jointly acting as guarantees, and then forwarding it to the garrison commander for approval, and then forwarding it to the capital for approval. In the third year of Hongzhi, the procedure was changed to a military appointment procedure, that is, "the yamen report
Send it to the Chief Secretary to check the records. There is no other disadvantage. He will be transferred to the Fufu Officer to review and make a decision on the order. If there is an unknown attack, the Fufu Officer will nominate a senior official from the Third Division to personally appoint him.
After completing the survey and reporting to the Chief Secretary, it is a concrete performance. If you are stuck in thinking, listen to the patrol and correct the performance." [Wufeng's Note: From "Records of Xiaozong".]
This sentence may be a bit confusing, but to put it simply: the governor and the governor can decide who can be appointed chieftain!
In particular, if the overseer thinks that the candidate for the post is wrong, he can correct him!
Now the situation is very clear: Suppose Huang Chengzu died suddenly, and Gao Pragmatic felt that the two Huang Yinglei brothers were not suitable for the post, then he could directly appoint Huang Zhiting to take the post, ignoring the issue of men and women at all - anyway, the two Ming Dynasty brothers
There have been more and more female chieftains for hundreds of years, and this is nothing new.
Although the chieftain is awesome, the court has the final say on who becomes the chieftain. To be more precise, it is the governor and the governor who have the final say, especially the governor. Even if the governor disagrees with him, he can submit a request to the court.
Set again!
There is a reason why the "Eight Prefectural Patrol Agents" are so awesome in various movies and TV dramas. This mere seventh-grade official can really take care of everything and anyone in the local area!
To be honest, unless they are the kind of governors and governors who have deep roots in the imperial court, ordinary governors are really not willing to just follow the governor casually - you are a second-grade official (this is a false reference, usually in the second-grade
(left and right) are fighting to the death with the seventh-grade patrol manager, and you might end up suffering the loss in the end. If it were you, you wouldn't be willing to do such a stupid thing. It's not cost-effective.
So usually the governor thinks this way: after all, he only works for one year, so just bear with it for a while, maybe it will be fine after enduring it, and the next governor may be able to talk more.
Therefore, for these reasons, the Guinan chieftains now really regard Huang Zhiting as the "head of the family". Not only because the head family has actually taken back Siming Prefecture and fully controlled the power of Siming Prefecture, and its strength has greatly increased, but also because the head of the family has greatly increased its power.
What's important is that Huang Zhiting seems to be standing on a high-pressure stage behind her!
This is the real boss who can decide whether their ancestral legacy can be successfully inherited!
Some unlucky children among the chieftains have been unable to get the recognition of successive inspectors. Even from a few years old to dozens of years old, their ruling areas have been controlled by Tumu and Tushe. As time goes by, their prestige is completely lost, and they are even dismissed.
Tumu, Tushe was eventually replaced.
No one wants to get into trouble like that - you have to know that this high-ranking official has quite a background in the court. If you really offend him, you may be unlucky enough to not be able to inherit the worldly position for decades.
It’s time to have your own children.
After staying in Haiyuan City for ten days, seeing Huang Zhiting's prestige among the Guinan chieftains gradually reaching his expectations, almost becoming the "Queen of Guinan", Gao Pragmatic finally waved his hand and led the group to set off.
All the way to the west, heading towards Sicheng Prefecture.
