Back home that day, Gao Pragmatic stayed alone in the small building and thought for a long time. He was not only worried about the situation of Gao's party in the next few years, but also anxious about the continuity of the New Deal.
He knew Shen Shixing well. After all, Mr. Shen Ge served as an official for Zhu Yijun, which was equivalent to teaching him for several years. Shen Shixing is definitely a typical Xinxue school in politics. Although he has a softer personality and is more keen on balancing, once he becomes an assistant, it will definitely be equivalent to putting on the brakes for the advancement of the New Deal. It will inevitably encounter greater resistance.
But he can't solve this problem now
Guo Pu is not his servant, he is his teacher. This teacher has abided by the law all his life. He feels that since the rule of seventy years for officials in the Ming Dynasty exists, unless there is a major disaster, they should abide by it. Gao pragmatic knew that he could not persuade him, so he had no choice but to give up.
As for uncle Zhang Siwei's health, who can guarantee it? We can only ask God for blessings.
Gao pragmatic thought for a long time, but in the end he could only sigh.
Forget it, it's going to rain and my mother is getting married. There's only so much I can do now. Since I can't solve it, I can only leave it to the future. I'd better think about what I can do in Guangxi next.
Although the rank of the censor is low, his power is huge. After arriving in Guangxi, with his family background and status as the sixth champion, he can be much tougher than in the capital. Maybe he can rectify the officialdom.
But these are all things that have no trace. I only know that Guangxi is in chaos now, but I am still at a loss as to what kind of chaos it is and why it is chaotic. There is no point in thinking about it. It is better to get the place first. Check.
Early the next morning, Gao Pingshi, led by Wang Guoguang, went to the palace with another supervisory censor to meet with the emperor.
Zhu Yijun didn't look very good, but the selection was quick. After Wang Guangguang introduced the two candidates for Guangxi patrol, Zhu Yijun directly selected Gao Pragmatic without even saying a word.
Gao pragmatism felt the anger in his heart. Of course, this anger was not for him, Gao pragmatism. It was a kind of anger caused by power being suppressed and dignity being ignored.
Historically, he was also forced to issue an edict this year by his mother, Queen Mother Li, and the crime was even more ridiculous than this time.
That time, he drank some wine and ordered a young eunuch next to him to sing a new song. However, the young eunuch refused. Zhu Yijun took advantage of the wine to get angry and said that he would chop off the young eunuch's head. Of course the people around him tried to persuade him, so he told him to keep his head and cut off a bunch of heads as punishment.
As a result, Empress Dowager Li soon found out about this. Empress Dowager Li was furious. She ordered Zhu Yijun to kneel down and threatened him to appoint King Lu as the new king. At the same time, she sent someone to inform Zhang Juzheng, asking Zhang Juzheng to write an imperial edict on behalf of the emperor.
Zhu Yijun cried bitterly and knelt down outside Cining Palace to beg his mother's forgiveness. Empress Dowager Li sent someone to ask Zhang Juzheng to come and teach Zhu Yijun a lesson in person. After a long lecture, the matter was finally over. After that, Zhu Yijun issued an edict to punish her. Has.
Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that Zhu Yijun had to go through the ordeal of issuing an edict to punish himself in the eighth year of Wanli. Relatively speaking, this time it was a bit normal. At least he didn't punish himself just because of a little eunuch. edict
However, this time Zhu Yijun was guilty of the incident, and he was unlucky. Of course, it is still difficult to say whether this time is considered unlucky.
On the one hand, the most likely promotion route for Gao Pangshi was cut off: first as a historian in the Hanlin Academy, then as a lecturer in Japan, and through mixed seniority upgrades. In the middle, he might go to the Imperial Academy to serve as a priest, and then return to the Hanlin Academy to become a bachelor and take charge of the academy. After that, he will either become a minister of a certain ministry, and then either directly enter the cabinet as a minister, or join the cabinet as a minister for another two years.
This road is the most noble route for Ming Dynasty officials to enter the cabinet, especially the most common route for the number one scholar. For example, Li Chunfang, the number one scholar in the 26th year of Jiajing period, took this route to enter the cabinet.
To put it simply, this route is both relaxing and comfortable, yet extremely noble, and is the most envied by the world.
But now this line has been cut off and changed to another one, that is, the foreign official line. This line is too complicated to explain in detail, but if you put it more concisely, it is nothing more than making various achievements in the local area. Then he was transferred back to the capital as a minister, then a minister, and then a cabinet minister.
Compared with the first route, this route is both hard and dangerous. If you take any wrong step, you may sink in the sand halfway. Even the step of returning to Beijing in triumph may not guarantee that Ling Yunyi will not be killed this year. At that step
Another problem is that I went too far south this time. I even went to Guangxi. This is no better than returning to my hometown in Xinzheng, which is only ten days and a half month away at most. After going to Guangxi, the main industries in Beijing will be in a state of being without a backbone, and we don't know if there will be any problems.
Zhu Yijun obviously didn't know that Gao Jingshi was thinking about so many issues in his mind. He just felt that Gao Jingshi seemed to be distracted after Wang Guoguang took another censor away.
This made Zhu Yijun a little embarrassed. He thought that Gao Pragmatic was unprepared for the "downgrade and transfer to foreign posts", so he was a little at a loss. But the root cause of this incident lies with him as the emperor, and Gao Pragmatic just suffered it on his behalf.
"Pragmatic, I have wronged you this time." There were no outsiders in the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace at this moment, only Zhu Yijun, Chen Ju and Gao Pragmatic. Chen Ju was his confidant, and there was no need to hide anything from him, so Zhu Yijun walked down directly He got off the throne and came to Gao Pangshi's side.
Gao pragmatic knew that Zhu Yijun was actually the most depressed person at this time, so he comforted him half-jokingly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me. I heard that the censor is very powerful now that he's here. I didn't do it last time." It was ten years ago that I became an imperial envoy. I am actually very happy to have the opportunity to experience the majesty of an imperial envoy again this time."
This is what he, a classmate who has been studying with the emperor for ten years, dares to say.
Sure enough, when Zhu Yijun heard what he said, he couldn't help but chuckle, shook his head, and said sternly, "Pragmatic, although the patrol censor has great authority, he also has great responsibility. You must not ignore it. Moreover, Guangxi is in chaos now." Very soon, although Yin Zhengmao and Ling Yunyi scored two great victories one after another, and Liu Yaojie also scored a great victory not long ago, but for some reason, the Tong Wei Rebellion was like a gourd vine pressed into the water. This gourd falls, and another gourd floats up. I don’t know when it will end.”
Gao pragmatic nodded and said, "After I arrive in Guangxi, I will check carefully to see where the root of this problem is. If possible, it is best to find a way to cure it."
"I knew you would think so. This is your consistent train of thought." Zhu Yijun said while shaking his head, "I think before that, whether it was Yin Zhengmao or Ling Yunyi, regardless of their character and official reputation, at least they were not mediocre. I think there must be no reason why they did not implement a radical cure. After you arrive in Guangxi, no matter whether the root cause you mentioned is discovered or not, don’t take action easily, let me know first, otherwise it will be ignored I agree with you, but I don’t know how to cooperate with you, do you understand?”
This was truly said sincerely. Gao Pragmatic put away his anger and bowed with a solemn expression to thank him.
Zhu Yijun nodded, sighed again, and said, "I only learned about the arrangements for you by the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate yesterday. Speaking of which, I am very conflicted now. I hope you can come back early, but I am also worried about it for a year." There is not enough time to clarify the source of the chaos in Guangxi. Alas, your errand is not easy to handle. If it doesn't work, just follow Liu Yao and share some of the military merits with them. When Yao'e and Yao's marriage is completed, I will arrive Then I will find a reason to transfer you back to Beijing."
When it comes to the marriage of the third princess and the fourth princess, Zhu Yijun is obviously in a low mood.
However, Zhu Yijun's words were obviously well-intentioned. He had regarded Gao Pragmatic as his future minister many years ago. In his opinion, the prime minister should naturally stay with him, so he would rather Gao Pinggong live outside for a year and then find any reason to be transferred back to the capital. What kind of trouble does it cause outside? Although he believes in Gao Pragmatic's ability, he is afraid that if he gets into something that makes him unable to escape, it will be trouble.
All in all, Zhu Yijun has the same views as those officials in the Hanlin Academy. They both think that staying with the emperor is the most important thing. In the Ming Dynasty at this moment, even if you are just a daily lecturer explaining a paragraph of text to the emperor every day, it is better than being a governor outside. More stylish.
This is because if an official does well in Japan, he might be able to join the cabinet tomorrow, but if a governor from another province wants to join the cabinet, there is at least two big steps between him.
However, Gao Wuzhi is now a little complacent. Thinking about how hard he worked back then, he only became the mayor in his thirties and was only a department-level cadre. Now, although his rank has been reduced to the seventh rank, he still has great power. Compared with a province, The secretary of the Communist Party of China is still powerful.
With such good conditions, if he doesn't seize the time to do something, can he live up to the old saying "Once the power is in hand, follow the orders"? So it is not his responsibility to follow the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Liu Yaojie and others to do military exploits and so on. Consider the scope. It’s not that you don’t want military merit, but you can’t rely on fooling around.
If I want military merit, I have to get it in a dignified way.
Although it is still open to question whether it is okay to direct the war by myself, but at least I can do a good job in logistics supervision. It will not be difficult for me, Gao, right?
It seems that the Guangxi war in the past few years only cost two to three hundred thousand taels of silver per year. If it is not possible, I have to earn a good-looking military exploit to support the country. If you have money, you are so willful. What's wrong?
Hey, wait, since there are wars everywhere in Guangxi, shouldn't I bring some servants there? Don't get killed by the mob on the way to take office, then there will be no place to complain.
However, he is the inspector, not the governor. If he brings a large group of armed servants, will he be impeached? After all, in theory, he only has the responsibility of supervising the army, not leading it.
Seeing his frown and expression on his face, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about? If you have any difficulties, please ask immediately."
Gao Pragmatic was happy when he heard it. Since the emperor is so righteous, I won't be polite.
Immediately he said, "I am thinking that since there is no peace in Guangxi, I can take some of my servants on the road."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said, "The governor has a supervisory standard, and the governor has a supervisory standard. Their servants have the court in charge of food and salary, but you are the patrol governor, and there is no precedent for this."
Gao Pragmatic immediately said, "It doesn't matter. I don't need to be paid by the court."
"I know you have money." Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes, "Then you can take care of it yourself, but don't make it too much. If someone comes to impeach you, it will be a problem."
Gao Jingshi was overjoyed and quickly handed over his hand, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness."
