Gao pragmatic looked around. In fact, he had known all nine of them before. They were: Du Mengzhihan from the Criminal Department, Han Ji from the Criminal Department, Tu Menggui from the Civil Affairs Department, and Cheng Wen from the Engineering Department. , Luo Zun, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Gu Yangqian, a doctor in the Ministry of Works, Shen Li was reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, Xu Guo was reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, and Zhang Mengnan, a foreign minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
If we go by the original history, the first four Ke Dao officials all ended badly. Basically, with the fall of Gao Gong, their political lives also ended. Starting from Luo Zun, the situation of the next five is pretty good:
Luo Zun was actually very unlucky when Gao Gong was overthrown. As soon as Wanli succeeded to the throne, Luo Zun impeached Feng Bao for insulting the emperor. After Zhang Juzheng teamed up with Feng Bao to overthrow Gao Gong, Feng Bao immediately retaliated, and Luo Zun was demoted three times in a row. He was expelled from the capital and demoted to Zhaomo, the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province. Later, he was transferred to Taiyuan Prefecture and promoted to Shangbao Sicheng. In September of the fifth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng's father passed away. According to etiquette, Ding You returned to his hometown to observe filial piety. However, Zhang Juzheng felt that he had been in power for a long time and had made too many enemies. He was afraid that something would happen if he left the court, so he acted secretly, so Wanli issued an edict. Make him win his love. Of course, it is inevitable to take away love, but burying one's father is unavoidable. When Zhang Juzheng returned to bury his father, he ordered Shang Baosi to escort him. However, Luo Zun refused, thus offending Zhang Juzheng again. It was not until the tenth year of Wanli that Zhang Juzheng died of illness and Feng Bao was demoted to Nanjing. Luo Zuncai was promoted to Minister of Taipu Temple, and soon became Minister of Guanglu Temple. Later, he was transferred to Yushi of Youqiandu of Duchayuan to patrol Sichuan. In the summer of the thirteenth year of Wanli, the Yangliu Fan people of Long'an Prefecture in Sichuan invaded Songpanwei Jinping Castle and killed the imperial guard, which shocked western Sichuan. Governor Luo Zun sent General Li Yingxiang to lead his troops to conquer the area and pacified the area in one fell swoop. Luo Zun entered the dynasty due to his meritorious service, and took charge of the affairs of the capital procuratorate as the censor of the capital.
Gu Yangqian was basically not affected by Gao Gong's downfall. During Zhang Juzheng's administration and after Wanli came to power, he successively served as Fujian Inspector, Guangdong Councilor, and Deputy Envoy. He was transferred to Yunnan Qianshi, and he subdued the native officials of Shunning, and went to Zhejiang to consult. He changed the military equipment of Jizhou Town, then became the censor of Youqiandu, and patrolled Liaodong. Due to his military exploits, he was promoted to the right deputy censor of the capital, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing, and the prime minister of grain storage. Changed to the left minister of the Ministry of War. He was also ordered to be the governor of Jiliao and manage the military affairs of Korea. Later, he was the censor of the right capital, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the prime minister of Hedao. He was also changed to be the assistant manager of the military affairs of the capital camp, the censor of the right capital, and the left minister of the Ministry of War. In the 14th year of Wanli, he was appointed governor of Liaodong, governor of Jiliao, and minister of the Ministry of War.
Shen Li stayed in the Hanlin Academy during the Longqing Dynasty, but Wanli's succession gave him the opportunity to move to the left to praise the good and serve as a lecturer. In the autumn of the tenth year of Wanli, he served as a lecturer in the Jin Dynasty and was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Soon he was transferred to the official position and promoted to Zuo Shilang. In the winter of the twelfth year of Wanli's reign, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was appointed Shaobao as a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.
When Xu Guo came out as the crown prince in Wanli (formally studying), he concurrently served as the school secretary as a former official of the Hanlin Academy. He ascended the throne in Wanli, went to the right to praise good deeds, and became an official for the day. Later, he successively served as the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and then changed to the Ministry of Personnel, taking charge of Zhanshi Mansion. In April of the 11th year of Wanli's reign, he joined the army as a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of Dongge University.
Zhang Mengnan did not do much during Zhang Juzheng's lifetime, but after Zhang Juzheng's death, he was immediately promoted to the minister of Taichang Temple, and later to the minister of Dali Temple, and the right minister of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing. Soon he was recalled to Beijing to take charge of the general affairs department for four years. If you are promoted to four levels in a row, your official career will be prosperous. In the winter of the 17th year of Wanli, he was appointed as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Soon he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Works of Nanjing. Before he took office, he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs of Nanjing. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Taibao to the Crown Prince.
In addition, although he himself was very unlucky, his son later became a cabinet scholar, Han Ji, and his son was named Han Xu. However, what Gao Jingjing was really concerned about was not that Han Xu would become a cabinet bachelor in the future, but that he was a veteran of the Donglin Party.
Although the Donglin Party did produce some upright and loyal ministers, Gao Pragmatic still had no good intentions towards the Donglin Party and did not show any respect for them - they did not agree with each other!
Of course, Gao Jingshi felt that since Han Xu was only a Jinshi in Wanli for 20 years, he could still be "saved" and "trained" to become a disciple of Shi Xue.
"No need to be polite." Gao Gong waved to the students, and then said to Gao pragmatically: "You haven't met your senior brothers yet?"
This sentence shocked all nine people.
According to convention, Gao Pragmatic can of course call them senior brothers, and they can also call Gao Pragmatic their junior brothers. But this kind of address is mostly a routine courtesy. However, Gao Gong's words showed that he asked his disciples to really treat Gao Pragmatic as his fellow disciple - this kind of behavior cannot be said to be abnormal, but it is indeed rare. This shows that Gao Gong has officially regarded Gao Jingshi as his "successor", and after all, Gao Jingshi is not Gao Gong's biological son, but his nephew.
It seems that this Xinzheng prodigy is really loved and valued by his master.
They have known about their favor for a long time. Otherwise, if there were many children in the Gao family, why would the Prime Minister only bring Gao Pingshi to the capital with him? But the emphasis is different. Especially in this case, Gao Gong's statement shows that he has made up his mind - who is the master? How can he make such a decision just because of his favor?
Therefore, there is only one explanation: Gao Pragmatic, the "junior brother", actually has extraordinary abilities.
Everyone's gaze towards Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but change.
But Gao Pragmatic didn't seem to realize it, and he stepped forward without being humble or arrogant to greet the "senior brothers" he had known for a long time. No matter what they felt in their hearts, everyone formally returned the gift with a smile.
As soon as the junior finished the ceremony, Gao Gong directly waved his hand and said: "Sit down, everyone. I have come to see you today. I have two important things to tell you."
Well, to get right to the point, this is high arch.
Everyone sat down and looked at the teacher.
Gu Yangqian said: "Please give me your instructions, Master."
Gao Jingshi knew why Gu Yangqian was the first to speak - among the Gao Gong disciples who came today, Gu Yangqian was the one with the highest ranking on the Yichou Kejin Ranking, so although he did not have the highest official position, he was suitable to be the first to speak out. This was Ming Dynasty practice. Even if Han Ji is only three places behind him on the Yi Chou Ke gold list, he can't compete.
Gao Gong nodded, cleared his throat slightly, and said: "The first thing is that Zhao Dazhou reported to His Majesty a few days ago that he wants to change the camp system, and the civil servants will still be the prime ministers and military officials. He said that the internal and external guards of our court will be divided into five prefectures. In order to avoid the harm caused by strong ministers holding troops, the battalions were formed in the last year of Yongle. They were unified by the Sanqian and Shenji battalions, so they were named the three major battalions. In the late Zhengtong years, it was changed to the tenth regiment camp, and in Hongzhi period it was the twelfth regiment camp. During the Zhengde period, the East and West Government Offices were added. In the 29th year of Jiajing, Yan Song proposed to set up a Rong government outside the Five Prefectures to control internal and external troops. Later, Duke Zhu Xizhong and other 20 people asked to accept the Rong government, military ministers and seals, and there were still three camps. . Each of the three major battalions has a general, and is given the order to appoint a civilian minister as the prime minister. He will stay in the camp for training when there is nothing to do. If there is a police force, the general will sign up and go out... What do you think about this matter? "
