As for the right-wing Mongolian response, Gao Pragmatic had some plans before. To put it simply, he would take advantage of Anda's death to push Han Naji to the throne, replace Xin Ai as the Great Khan, and then persuade Sanniang to marry
He gave Han Na Ji and Xin Ai's troops to Butashri, the son of the third lady.
He told this idea to Zhu Yijun. After hearing this, Zhu Yijun did not agree immediately, but frowned and said: "I know that Mongolian marriage rules are not ethical, but Zhongjin Hatun should be Han Naji's grandmother."
,Is this...good?"
Gao Pragmatic explained: "Since the emperor knows that the Mongolians do not respect ethics, why do you care about this? As long as the Mongolians are not blood relatives, let alone their grandmothers, it doesn't matter if they are their great-grandmothers. To me, the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to care about them.
How to determine the title? Just make sure that Tumut is still respectful."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked: "So, will Han Naji and Zhong Jinhatun be willing to each other?"
"If the emperor is worried, I can think of a way to deal with this matter. Let's not contact them through the court or border ministers first, and let the Beijing side mention the matter to them secretly. This way we can test their minds and not lose room for maneuver.
.”
"That's not bad." Zhu Yijun nodded in approval.
In fact, a large part of the reason why he hesitated was that he was worried that he would mess up the relationship and make both Han Naji and Zhongjin Hatun dissatisfied, which would lead to bad things. Since Gao Pragmatic took over this matter
If it is done, it is equivalent to conducting a test in a private capacity. This can leave the imperial court out, lest the imperial court open its mouth and it will be irreversible.
In today's novel, apart from Gao Pragmatic, the lecturer, there is only Shen Li, the lecturer. His duty is mainly to record, and he has never spoken.
However, Gao Pragmatic was not worried about him revealing the secret, because Shen Li and he were not only "comrades", but also "fellow townspeople".
Shen Li is from Yucheng County, Guide Prefecture, Henan Province. In this era, He Gao is a serious township party member. In addition, he is a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing, so he has been firmly labeled as Gao Dang on his forehead.
Tag of.
Shen Li was famous for his opposition to Shen Yiguan in history, and this also left him with an eternal reputation. After his death, Zhu Yijun personally wrote four memorial inscriptions for him, calling him
"The universe is righteous, Yiluo is the true Confucian."
In the original history, Gao Gong was both his examiner and his fellow countryman. He refused to pay a private visit to Gao Gong, so that Gao Gong ignored him as a person seeking fame and reputation and planned to sharpen his skills first.
Character of mind. This life is different, because Gao Jingshi knows Shen Li's personality and his future, so he has been on good terms with him and slowly brought him into the inner circle of Gao Dang in the past.
Therefore, to a large extent, Shen Li's appearance in the Gao Party is actually due to Gao Pragmatism, which makes him pay more attention to Gao Pragmatism than to the entire Gao Party.
Such a person is of course highly pragmatic and will not worry about leaking information.
The matter of Mongolian response will be here for the time being. Next, Gao Pragmatic wrote a letter to recall Cao Gan, who was in Chengdu and was trying to open up the southwest trade route, and asked him to personally take action to implement this matter.
Cao Gan's status in the Jinghua Group is quite high, and he is the first person among the servants who has not changed his surname. What is particularly special is that unlike sea trade and maritime power, which are divided into private ports and the current North and South Ocean Fleets, Jinghua's land route "
"Foreign trade" is centralized in Jinghua Trading Company, and Cao Gan has been in charge of Jinghua Trading Company from beginning to end for more than ten years.
This kind of qualifications can only be matched by Gao Mo and Gao Rui (Gao Xiaozhuang) among the entire Jinghua "household family".
But relatively speaking, Gao Mo is at the center and is responsible for the entire Beijing supervision system and highly pragmatic personal security; Gao Rui is at Kaiping, the core town of Beijing's industrial system, and is considered to "manage production" and is not responsible for "direct
Therefore, Cao Gan’s position is particularly unique in the trade world.
However, after Cao Gan received the letter in Chengdu, he set off for the capital on the same day without saying a word or even waiting to spend the night.
In fact, in Cao Gan's view, this matter was proposed by himself. If he hadn't reported it to his master last time, he might not have known that there were signs of disintegration within Tumote. Therefore, he called him back to Beijing to preside over the matter.
This matter seems to him to be a matter of course.
Of course, there was another personal reason why he was anxious to return to the capital: his son Cao Ke was back. It is said that the master was quite satisfied with him and arranged an identity for him. He asked him to take the boy's examination with the capital's household registration to see if he could get a bachelor's degree.
If you perform well, you can take the Sunchon Township Examination next year.
Being a servant actually has various benefits. To put it simply, you can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, but there is also a trouble, that is, you are generally not allowed to take part in the imperial examination. If you want to take part in the imperial examination, the master's family must first agree. This is for sure, but there are many
There are troublesome procedures to go through.
Well, in fact, generally speaking, the master's family disagrees. The reason is obvious: after passing the examination, he is a master. It's hard to say whether the master's family will be able to suppress him in the future - what if this guy is studying?
Awesome, what if I not only passed the examination to be a scholar, but also took the examination to be a civil servant? What if, in the unlikely event that someone passes the examination and becomes a Jinshi, I become a master, then the master’s family still has such a ghostly repressive power?
However, Gao Pragmatic is obviously an exception. His attitude is to let you take the exam. So what if you just take the exam and become a Jinshi? Are these six top picks of mine just for fun?
Even if you become a Jinshi master and have the word "高" on your forehead, my kindness to you is as great as a mountain. This will be recognized by the people of the world - otherwise, would you be able to participate in the imperial examination?
Therefore, even if Cao Ke passed the Jinshi examination, as long as he made any move that was detrimental to Gao Pragmatic, it would be equivalent to committing suicide - political suicide.
Real awesomeness is not reflected in bullying the weak, but rather in training and promotion.
Cao Gan estimated that this journey would take at least half a month, so there was no need to talk to him for the time being.
The next major events in the capital have focused on Guo Pu.
The Taifu, the Crown Prince and the Grand Master, and Guo Pu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the great scholar of the Zhongji Palace, spent three days in a row asking to retreat.
The emperor's reply varied from "no", "warm words of comfort, no permission" to "sincerely Yuan Fu will do his best to help, but no permission".
But then, Guo Yuanfu asked to see the two palaces. So the two palaces summoned the emperor again that day.
The next day, the emperor ordered the Superintendent of Ceremonies to pass the decree and summon the nine ministers and other important ministers to discuss the addition of cabinet ministers.
This move meant that Guo Pu's retreat was decided, so the emperor was making preparations.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty inherited an ancestral system for selecting officials, called court recommendation. The vacancies for senior cadres were not decided directly by the emperor. Instead, they first had to negotiate with senior officials above the third rank and the chief officials of each department, and two to three or even three people were recommended by public recommendation.
More, the emperor selected and appointed them. This method was used throughout the Ariming Dynasty.
Of course, the emperor has done nothing? No, the emperor can choose from the list at this time, or not use it.
For example, "In the first month of the third year of Tianqi's reign, the court recommended ministers, the first of whom was Sun Shenxing, and Sheng Yihong, but none of them were used."
Another example is "In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, Cai Guozhen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was dismissed, and seven people were promoted by the imperial court. Li Dai was the last, and the emperor specially promoted him."
It can be seen that sometimes the ministers' first recommendations were not the emperor's favorite, and sometimes the emperor did not even pay attention to any of the recommended candidates. The differences in employment standards between monarchs and ministers were so great that outsiders were baffled.
However, don't think that the emperor is so generous and kind under any circumstances. If this is the case, it would be so cute that it is almost cute. In the era of imperial power, the emperor had an act of power that went hand in hand with the imperial recommendation system.
, called Zhongzhi, that is, the emperor can issue personal orders or edicts from the palace, bypassing the Zhongshu family (in the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet) through abnormal means, and directly deliver them to the department for execution.
Although this time, everyone knows that in this situation, no matter how the nine ministers recommend, the final result is certain: the emperor will definitely choose the one recommended by the first minister before leaving. Even if the recommendation results are different
On the contrary, the emperor will definitely veto the candidates recommended by the imperial court and directly promote them.
Of course, if the situation reaches this point, the problem will be more serious, which means that the chief minister has lost control of the cabinet, the six ministries, etc. Moreover, cabinet ministers who are not recommended by the court to join the cabinet will be ugly - they have not had time to come to the court.
Recommendation and rejection are two different things.
Still taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, during the Wanli period in history, there were also vacancies for ministers in the Ministry of Personnel. The "Tianguan" was a very important position, and there was no need for cabinet ministers to be poorly appointed. However, Wanli was not satisfied with the candidates recommended by the court, and after a stalemate,
Wanli issued the edict decisively and personally selected Li Youzi, a fellow countryman of Zhang Juzheng, who was the first assistant at the time.
Unexpectedly, Li didn't buy it.
In the emperor's opinion, this Jinshi who was in the 26th year of Jiajing's reign had hardly made any progress in the position of minister, and he was determined to be unable to resist the great seal of the heavenly official falling from the sky.
However, Li Mou bluntly stated in his memorial: The court recommendation is an ancestral tradition, and the wise men are expected to return. Now the emperor ignores the opinions of the public and appoints minor ministers according to the imperial edict. In fact, he is angry with the ministers and is not the behavior of a sage king.
Li's attitude here was very clear. He would not accept the official title conferred by the imperial edict.
It can be seen that if there is a stalemate in Tingtui, the problem will be very serious.
Mr. Shen Ge was obviously not a strong man who could challenge the emperor in person and his chief assistant. His performance in the court nomination perfectly reflected his style. As soon as Guo Pu proposed that Pan Sheng join the cabinet, he immediately agreed.
It was obviously impossible for Zhang Siwei to object. Xu Guo and Yu Youding were also not second-rate, and both agreed.
The cabinet unanimously approved the proposal of the chief minister. The six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Hanlin Academy and other chief officials were not stupid and expressed their agreement. The Ministry of Rites did not say anything - Pan Sheng himself was the minister.
So the tingtui was successfully completed and everything was under control, but the emperor was not in a high mood and left silently after completing the tingtui.
Gao Pragmatic is a unique lecturer. He is often called upon by the emperor to be with him, and today is no exception.
After the court promotion was over, Zhu Yijun rarely chose to take a sedan chair, but walked slowly back to Qianqing Palace. He was silent for a long time on the way, and then suddenly said to Gao Jingshi: "Pragmatic, after Yuan Fu left, the three Gu Mingfu I am no longer with you..."
It is difficult for Gao Pragmatic to judge whether Zhu Yijun's mood was sighing or relieved, or both, but whether it was more sighing or more relief?
He could only console him: "Yuanfu has completed what the late emperor told him, and he has retired with great achievements. Your Majesty, next year will be the tenth year of Wanli, and it will be the real Wanli era. Your Majesty, can you and your ministers... If you live up to the late emperor's trust, from now on, you will see the real chapter."

The situation changed suddenly last night, I had insomnia and a cold. I probably have a fever today and my brain hurts. It’s a bit hard to say whether I can complete it according to the amount. Thank you to the book friend "Sha Niu Mom" for your monthly ticket support, thank you!
