Zhu Yijun's words surprised Gao pragmatically. Every "hole" in Xuanda Shanxi has a "carrot", and it is impossible to leave a position for Gao pragmatically to take over, so "you go" only means
Perhaps he was sent as an imperial envoy to preside over this matter.
But there is a problem here, that is, Gao Wuzhen already has an assignment, which is to preside over the Shanxi Provincial Examination.
In the eyes of future generations, the importance of presiding over the provincial examination cannot be compared with the death of An Da, let alone its impact. But in fact, in the eyes of Ming people, presiding over the provincial examination in a province is not as important as being a person.
The canonization of King Shunyi's imperial envoy is much more important.
For the rural examination, the examination venues were located in the provincial capitals of each province, where the Chief Secretary's office was located. The examination venues for the North and South Zhili were respectively located in Yingtian and Shuntian Prefectures, which later became Beijing and Nanjing. Before the examination, each Chief Secretary and the two Beijing Prefectures hired
There are two examiners and four co-examiners.
The chief examiner is responsible for setting questions, reviewing papers, deciding on the admission list, ranking and reporting to the etiquette department. The co-examiner is responsible for assisting in setting questions and reviewing papers.
The examiners of this year's Shanxi Provincial Examination are Gao Pragmatic and Sun Jigao.
This is a somewhat unexpected arrangement, because with the emergence of this arrangement, there have been some institutional changes in the appointment of examiners for the rural examination.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the examiners for the rural examinations in the northern and southern capitals were stipulated to use Hanlin officials, while the provinces used instructors and senior scholars. In the third year of Jingtai, the examiners for the rural examinations in the two capitals were still Hanlin officials, but the examiners in each province no longer used "Qiru".
The Chief Secretary and the Inspector-General, together with the Inspector-General and the Censor, shall recommend among the instructors of the province those who are under the age of fifty but over thirty, "who are proficient in literature and are modest in character".
The original intention of this regulation is to recruit candidates by examiners, but since examiners are recommended by the Bu, Second Division and Patrol Censors, and the instructors have a humble position, they have to take care of their superiors' entrustments, and some even take the initiative to be attentive.
, causing the candidates to have different opinions. Therefore, some people kept suggesting that Beijing officials be sent to various provinces to take charge of the provincial examinations in order to avoid asking for help.
So in the seventh year of Jiajing, Emperor Shizong adopted the opinion of Zhang Cong, a scholar, and sent two officials from the capital or Jinshi from each province to take the exams. However, they only took two subjects and gave up due to etiquette disputes with the invigilators. From then on, they stopped sometimes.
, not necessarily.
In the original history, it was not until the eleventh year of Wanli that the Ministry of Rites raised this issue again, and finally formulated: Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Huguang, the four provinces with more scholars, would be compiled and reviewed by Hanlin, while other provinces would send
The six subjects are examined by the chief examiner of Shizhong and the Ministry of Etiquette. The examiners also require that officials from the government and county magistrates who are Jinshi should serve as the instructors. The instructors are only used "occasionally" to embellish.
However, what happened in the eleventh year of Wanli in history has now been advanced to the tenth year of Wanli, and the steps have been even greater.
If you think about it carefully, it is not surprising, because Zhang Juzheng died in the tenth year of Wanli in history. In the following year, Zhu Yijun began to counterattack and reckon, and at the same time, he also put some things that he thought should be reformed on the agenda. Later generations mentioned Zhu Yijun's liquidation of Zhang Juzheng,
Just say that he was against the New Deal. In fact, this statement obviously reflects the political atmosphere of a certain period.
In fact, at this time, Zhu Yijun had already acquired sufficient political insights under Zhang Juzheng's extremely harsh and even harsh imperial education. He was able to judge for himself which measures were necessary and which measures were problematic. So when he
After Zhang Juzheng's illusions were shattered, he began to use various actions to prove: Without you Zhang Juzheng, I can still manage the Ming Dynasty!
But soon, Zhu Yijun discovered that the reality was different from what he imagined. The civil service group did not cooperate with him at all, especially the dispute over the country, which escalated this lack of cooperation into confrontation and conflict.
Zhu Yijun began to try to find a good way to deal with it from his father and two generations of emperors. In the end, he was disappointed to find that he could not simply imitate his father or grandfather.
His father, Emperor Longqing, had always been known for his benevolence. His philosophy of governing the country was very simple, as he confessed before his death: If you have any difficulty, just ask Mr. Gao.
But since what happened to Zhang Juzheng - this imperial master who usually taught him to respect frugality and avoid extravagance, he himself was extravagant to a level that he, the emperor, could not imagine - Zhu Yijun couldn't believe those ministers who looked even worse than Zhang Juzheng They are.
My father has a Mr. Gao, who will be my Mr. Gao? I can’t learn from him.
So, should you imitate the emperor's grandfather? Wanli shook his head again. This emperor's power skills are not unskilled, but what is his posthumous name? The world only remembers Hai Rui's words: People in the world have not been your majesty for a long time, both internally and externally. This is what I know!
Everyone in the world thinks that you are not a good emperor! All the officials at home and abroad know this!
When Hai Rui wrote this "Public Security Essay", Jiajing had not yet "closed the coffin", but this sentence was the "final conclusion"!
It can be seen that the emperor's power cannot be learned, otherwise sooner or later he will be condemned as "the people of the world have not been your majesty for a long time." In the future, when he lives in Tianshou Mountain, how can he talk to his ancestors?
Zhu Yijun is as smart as Jiajing, but not as headstrong or even selfish as Jiajing, but not as open-minded as Long Qing to be able to "wear the world down, sir", so in the end he can only choose to be an ostrich - do whatever you want , I will deal with things that I think are necessary, and I will not reply to things that I think are unnecessary.
In later generations, people often said that Wanli did not go to court and did not manage politics. Even officials in the court were missing a large number of people, and the central institutions almost came to a standstill.
This is amazing. Even the central agencies have come to a standstill. How can we still win the three major conquests?
In fact, most of the officials who are vacant in the central government are academic officials, as well as idle officials who have little difference between those who have them and those who do not. To fill the vacancies, it is just a matter of multiple people receiving salaries.
Did the central court of the Wanli Dynasty ever "come to a standstill" for a day? For major events such as border police dispatches and domestic disasters, Zhu Yijun's imperial edicts were always approved and issued as soon as possible. They were often delivered to the General Affairs Department on the first day, and to the General Secretary the next day. The approval from the Supervisor of Ceremonies has just come down - how else can we be efficient?
In fact, Zhu Yijun is very similar to King Philip II of Spain at about the same time. They both said, "I'm sorry that I don't have time to meet you. Please write to me to explain what you want to express, and please try to be concise in your words." .
The only difference is that Philip II would get angry and complain when he saw some useless letters, but Zhu Yijun couldn't even find anyone to complain to.
In this life, there is no such thing as Zhang Juzheng's imperial master who "respects others but not himself". Instead, there is the more "protective" Gao Gong and the extremely upright Guo Pu. Zhu Yijun has not experienced the feeling of betrayal. He is now focused on the past. Gao pragmatically mentioned the words he mentioned that day: Now is the real Wanli era!
It is precisely because of this that what happened in the eleventh year of Wanli in original history was advanced to the tenth year of Wanli.
Now, it is unprecedented in history to have a high-ranking official like Gao Pangshi, a member of the Hanlin Academy, to preside over the Shanxi Provincial Examination. How can it not be a big deal?
Even for Zhu Yijun, this was an important task to sublimate the "Gaogong Reform" to the "Wanli New Deal". The imperial edict has been issued, how can it be changed at will?
At this time, Zhu Yijun saw Gao Pragmatic's expression was different, and thought that he might have misunderstood, so he quickly said: "If we don't delay the provincial examination, it's better for you and Sun Jigao to go. I will send someone to Sun Jigao to tell him and let him work harder. What do you say?"
, I am responsible for setting the questions and getting the rankings.”
"Then what did the emperor say when he asked me to go to Mongolia?" Gao pragmatically asked.
"I'm dead. For such a big thing, the Mongols will definitely hold a Kuritai conference. This cannot be gathered in a short time... You can see from Anda's territory over the years. Yongxiebu in the east,
His Tumut headquarters is in the middle, and there are Dongtao, Xitao and Qinghai in the west. These are all territories and tribes controlled by Anda. Since the Kuritai Conference is going to be held, they will definitely send people here.
Normally it would take about two months to go, and the provincial examination would have already been completed by then."
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: This is a good time. It has only been half a year since I returned to Beijing, and I have been "transferred to another country". After these two things are done, I estimate that at least half a year has passed...
However, the emperor trusted him so much that he could not refuse, so Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to accept the order and thank him.
After talking about the business, Gao Pingshi was about to end the meeting, say goodbye and leave, but Zhu Yijun stopped him and hesitated to speak.
Why do you look like you're constipated?
Seeing his expression, Gao Pangshi couldn't help but feel a little amused, and joked: "Your Majesty, if you were not a noble person, just by looking at your expression, I would have thought that you were planning to borrow money from me."
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he was unfamiliar with the term "borrowing money", and then he realized it and laughed and cursed: "Nonsense, what am I borrowing money for?"
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: That's not necessarily the case. Your Spanish colleague has borrowed so much money that he has become insolvent several times. I think if you are short of money when you fight for the three major levies in the future, come to me.
It doesn't matter if you borrow some, it doesn't even matter if you don't come out yet. Just bring me some edicts and seal some barren land to me. What's more, you don't even need to take out the barbaric land yourself, just give it to me.
I can go by myself in my name.
Zhu Yijun didn't know that Gao Pragmatic was distracted and was thousands of miles away. When he saw him smiling and saying nothing, he had no choice but to look down and said with a bitter smile: "Yao's wife is about to get hairpins. I have already made a plan to name her Princess Yongning.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng has already begun to look for a prince-in-law for her... She wants to meet you."
She wants to see me? Can you tell me clearly which one she is, the princess or the queen mother?
Gao Jingshi couldn't ask directly, so he turned around and asked with a surprised look on his face: "The Queen Mother wants to see you?"
"It's not the Queen Mother. Why does the Queen Mother see you? It's Yao who wants to see you." Zhu Yijun said angrily.
Gao Pingshi was startled: "Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to see me...to meet the minister?" He quickly confirmed: "Does the Queen Mother know?"
Zhu Yijun's face turned even more disgusting: "How could the Queen Mother know? Who dared to tell her? Yao Yu came to me quietly and said that she must see you before the wedding. I...well, I really don't want to agree.
But she begged so hard, what can I, my brother, say?"
Gao Pragmatic's face fell, and he thought: So you sold me? Last time, the little princess wrote a poem, which caused me to be sent to Guangxi to feed mosquitoes for a year, and now it comes again?
