When Gao Jingshi of Guangxi resigned from office and returned to the north, the important officials in the Yanjing court were also troubled by Gao Jingshi's reward.
The emperor's intention was clear to everyone, and it was clear that he wanted Gao Pragmatic to "return to Beijing and be re-employed". However, the problem was that generally speaking, for officials who had been "transferred to foreign posts", their promotion route had changed.
Generally speaking, the promotion route of Hanlin Qinggui is to sit on the bench in Hanlin Academy and Zhanshifu and slowly "upgrade" their qualifications. They usually serve as daily lecturers for a long time, and incidentally are released as examiners in the year of the competition.
, over time, he was eventually transferred to the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of Rites as the Minister of Etiquette - this is the preparation before entering the cabinet, either directly as the Minister of the Cabinet, or he was promoted to the Minister of Rites to join the cabinet.
But foreign officials are different. Usually, as long as they are appointed abroad, they are likely to stay abroad. They will slowly climb up step by step. Finally, they will be promoted to the rank of Minister and return to Beijing due to merit. If they are lucky, for example, they will not be young when they are appointed as Minister.
Even those who are considered very old, those in their fifties, still have a chance to join the cabinet. If you are in your fifties or even sixties before you become a minister, you will usually be promoted to minister at most, and it is very difficult to join the cabinet.
Gao Wuzhen is now the censor of the inspection. His rank is not high and he has great power. He certainly cannot be treated as a seventh-grade county magistrate at the same level. Normally speaking, his promotion, if he is sent to a certain province, will at least be promoted from the deputy inspector of the fourth grade.
It is very possible to use military equipment as an envoy;
It is also possible to go higher in rank and serve as a deputy to the left and right of a certain province. Political participation is an aide-de-camp to the left and right envoys under the Chief Secretary, with a rank of third grade, but the actual power is not as good as that of the army;
If you are lucky enough, it is not unheard of to directly serve as the chief envoy to the left or right, but Gao Pragmatic is too young. The chief envoy is theoretically the top administrative leader in a province, so it is unlikely that he will be given to someone of his age.
If it's a bit more impressive, for example, if you have a very high personal reputation, are highly recommended by senior ministers in the court, and the emperor still values it, it is not impossible to be directly promoted to governor from the censor.
After all, the "governor" itself has no rank, it is just a dispatch. In terms of its own rank, the minimum one can be a fourth-rank official from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and a censor from the capital can concurrently serve as governor.
The characteristic of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is that there are no fifth-rank officials in this department. From the seventh-grade to the seventh-grade, there is only one sixth-grade Metropolitan Procuratorate experience - this is similar to the director of the archives office. After that, it jumps directly to the fourth-rank.
His left and right officials were all censors.
It is very common for a province to be governed by the censor of Youqiandu. For example, Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi, was concurrently appointed as the censor of Youqiandu of the Duchayuan.
This is the characteristic of feudal rule and a society ruled by men. Of course there must be rules, but the rules are set by the emperor after all. If the emperor insists on making an exception and the ministers in the cabinet do not reject it, then anything can be done.
For the big guys of the Xin School, if Gao Pragmatic follows the promotion convention of foreign officials, the worst result would be to be directly promoted to the right to become the censor of a certain province - this is the worst for them.
But the problem now is that the emperor clearly does not want to treat Gao Jingshi as a foreign official. He insists on continuing to use Gao Jingshi as an imperial nobleman. Therefore, Shen Shixing tentatively proposed a long time ago that Gao Jingshi should be the Guangdong Youbu
The political envoy was rejected by the emperor without saying a word.
It should be mentioned in addition that Shen Shixing's decision to ask Gao Pragmatic to be the "Guangdong Standing Senior Official" (a rough analogy, don't worry about it) was not for Gao Pragmatic's benefit, because Gao Pragmatic transferred Lianzhou Prefecture back to Guangxi and other matters, which made Guangdong officials treat him
I was quite unhappy. In addition, Liu Yaojie, the governor of Guangdong and Guangdong and the governor of Guangdong, was a leader of the Xin School, and he and Gao Jingshi were at odds with each other over the placement of Bazhai. If Gao Jingshi really wanted to be the right chief envoy of Guangdong, he would definitely
Controlled everywhere.
The emperor rejected the proposal, but Mr. Shen Ge was not discouraged and recommended him again. This time Gao Pragmatically mentioned the changes in Burma and asked the Yunnan side to pay attention to them when reporting the report. He recommended him as the governor of Yunnan. The reason is very good: he is familiar with southwest China.
Boundary feelings, skillful handling, and decisive handling.
Who said Mr. Shen Ge has no courage?
Look at his generosity, he dares to recommend it to a governor who is barely twenty years old!
But looking at it from another angle, the situation is different: Shen Ge is always so unwilling to let Gao Pragmatic return to Beijing to take up a post!
You must know that if Gao Pingshi returns to Beijing to serve, he will most likely go to the Hanlin Academy or Zhanshifu to sit on the bench. It does not seem that he will have any real power. However, Mr. Shen Ge feels that even if he returns to Beijing and sits on the bench, he will not be able to serve on the bench.
The harm of the Xinxue sect is greater than being the governor of Yunnan!
This is like a malignant sore. Even if it grows on a foot, even if it becomes diseased, that foot will be affected at most. But if it grows in the brain... Oh well, it's over.
Mr. Shen Ge saw very clearly that while others in the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu were sitting on the bench and waiting for qualifications, he was not pragmatic. As long as he was allowed to return to Beijing, he would definitely be able to influence the emperor's every move at any time!
What's more, since he has made such great contributions, it doesn't make sense to just "reinstate him as an official", right? However, even if he is just reinstated as an official - before he was "relegated" to the position of patrol censor, he had already obtained the Japanese title
An official's errand.
When other people work as daily lecturers, they just give lectures to the emperor every now and then. They can't do anything else and can't influence the emperor. But you let Gao Pragmatic give it a try?
No need to try, no need to try at all!
Old Shen Ge could already imagine the image in his mind: whenever the emperor had any "difficult diseases", he would have to wait until Gao Jingshi was in "class" to ask him about it!
Hey, he used to be a reading companion and was jokingly called "Xiaoge Lao" when he was observing politics. Now if he were to be a daily lecturer, what would he be like?
The youngest in the hidden pavilion?
Then why do we need a cabinet?
Being an official was a shortcut for nobles in the Imperial Academy to become ministers. Shen Shixing himself came this way. Naturally, he did not dare to think of ways to ruin this road, and he couldn't do it, so he had to think of ways to let Gao Pragmatic leave.
To take this path, even if it takes a governor in exchange, Mr. Shen Ge will remain firm.
The emperor also hesitated when Shen Shixing was recommended this time. As a governor, this was an excellent position with mixed qualifications.
Although for other officials, after serving one term as governor, they may be transferred to another place to continue serving as governor. For those with average official career, they can sometimes serve as governors in several provinces in succession and waste ten or twenty years at the governor level.
It’s not surprising that it’s been ten years.
However, that is for other officials. Since Gao Pragmatic is his assistant minister that Zhu Yijun has long confirmed, after serving as governor, he will become the minister when he returns to Beijing!
For example, for the position of governor of Yunnan, given Gao's pragmatic style in Guangxi and his tendency to care about the situation in Myanmar, it is almost obvious that he will fight a war if he is asked to be the governor. In Zhu Yijun's view, Annan is so fatal
The place, pragmatically speaking, is to take it as soon as it is taken. Isn’t it just a matter of Myanmar?
When the time comes, it will be a matter of course to be given the title of Minister of War.
And he himself is famous for his literary reputation, and he has two great achievements in his hands. How many days can this minister be able to work? He can just wait for the Minister of War to be vacant, and then find an opportunity to join the cabinet!
It is estimated that it will only take more than five years for him to join the cabinet within twenty-five years old and create the myth of Ming Dynasty officialdom!
Zhu Yijun is completely happy to see the success of creating this myth - look at the "true leader for two hundred years" whom I have appointed, he is so awesome! Isn't this a good show where the king and his ministers get along well with each other?
So the emperor hesitated.
However, the situation in the cabinet was another story. When Guo Pu learned that Shen Shixing recommended Gao Pragmatic as the governor of Yunnan, he was stunned for a while, then became silent, and finally shook his head and said: "It is not the right time to encourage the development of a new situation."
Zhang Siwei also pondered for a long time before saying: "It's really inappropriate. Seeking the truth is the way of the 'gods in the sky' (referring to the first grade Jinshi). It was inappropriate to let things go outside, but now it's easy to get things done."
If you just come back and re-enter the Imperial Academy, how can you continue to serve outside? This is not appropriate for your reputation."
What Zhang Siwei means is that my nephew was born to be a "god in the sky" in the center. What is the principle of letting foreigners go?
The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is here. No matter how powerful the foreign officials are, they are not as good as the reputation of the Hanlin nobles. His Zhang family in Puzhou used to be a merchant family, and it was only when he came here that he gradually improved his family status, so he took this kind of thing very seriously.
Chong - Just like the highly pragmatic mother Zhang, she is easy to talk to in other aspects, but when it comes to family status issues, she is very stubborn. This is the same reason.
Xu Guo had different opinions. He pondered for a while and then said: "I think it might be beneficial for Qiu Zhen to become the governor of Yunnan. For example, the achievements that Feng Pangong mentioned just now - Qiu Zhen's
This time there has been an actual contribution to the destruction of the country. Unfortunately, this time it cannot be clearly stated. I am afraid that the reward cannot be based on the contribution of the destruction of the country.
But if he fights the Annan War again in Myanmar, it will be difficult to erase the contribution of this country's destruction... After all, Annan is an internal vassal, while Myanmar is an external vassal. By then, maybe he can compete with Wang Xinjian (Wang Yangming, uncle of Xinjian, posthumously
In general, it is possible to get a Spyker."
Zhang Siwei had not considered this, so when he said this, Zhang Siwei immediately hesitated.
Spyker... Although the military official's Spyker is not very valuable, the civil servant's Spyker is very valuable, and it is extremely valuable!
In fact, it is difficult to obtain the nobles of military officials nowadays. Li Chengliang achieved great victories every three days, and now he is just a wandering noble. Qi Jiguang and others have suppressed countless thieves and fought against the Mongols (left wing) for ten years.
, I didn’t know how many times I fought back the Mongols, and I didn’t even get a stray prince.
This shows how difficult it is to obtain the title of the Ming Dynasty. It is difficult even for military ministers, let alone civil servants.
Guo Pu, however, took a more open-minded view and said: "Officials big and small, whether they have titles or not, are all trivial matters to the emperor, because as long as the emperor is willing to give, he can always find a reason to give. So I still feel that it is not necessary. Because of the little benefit at hand, the most important thing has been forgotten - that is the emperor's attitude."
It is better for people who are about to retire to look at problems beyond the confines of interests. Zhang Siwei was reminded by Guo Puyi and nodded: "Of course, I just want to be able to return to Beijing. Everything else is easy to talk about. There is no need to rush."
