The entry into the city ended smoothly. There was neither trouble caused by Huang Gongsheng's rebellious party nor commotion among the local people. Everything went smoothly. It is not clear whether this is because the imperial officers and soldiers were too powerful, or because Huang Zhiting, as the chieftain of Siming Prefecture, was justified in "recovering her homeland". It may be a combination of both.
Since everything is going well, it is natural to reward according to merit. This is the proper meaning of the question.
Gao Jingshi was basically satisfied with the performance of the officers and soldiers. Although the officers and soldiers actually did not fight Huang Gongsheng's rebels at all, their military appearance was still acceptable, and none of the troops were procrastinating and disobeying Gao Jingshi's orders.
In this case, the reward should be rewarded, even if it is a piece of gold and jade, as long as it is not exposed, Gao Pragmatic will not hesitate to reward it - anyway, if there is no battle, there will be no head to record the merit, so he just wrote a memorial to show their merit. That's all, they just boast about the orderly appearance of the army and the execution of orders and prohibitions. In short, it is enough to attribute the death of Huang Gongsheng to the military power of the imperial court. In this way, how to reward their contributions actually becomes a matter for the Ministry of War.
And no one can blame Gao Jingjing. He is the inspector, not the governor. It is a good sign to help them report their achievements. Do you want the inspector to recommend you specifically? If the imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty recommends talents, and if it turns out that the recommendation was wrong later, he will be guilty of the same crime as the person being recommended. No one dares to ask for high-level and pragmatic recommendations. Therefore, showing merit is the greatest help.
All the generals went down happily. They said they were going to prepare for tonight's celebration banquet, but in fact they were leaving time for Gao Antai to deal with the subsequent aftermath of Siming Prefecture.
The military generals of the Ming Dynasty only focused on fighting the war, and they would not care about the aftermath, nor could they care about it. The civil servants would not let them get involved at all, so these generals simply enjoyed their leisure time and left the mess to Gao Zhantai to handle it himself.
The shape of the Siming Prefecture Government Office is also two-story. Gao Pragmatic’s experience this time is no different from that in Haiyuan City. Now he is the temporary owner, so he went up to the second floor with great interest and after appreciating the furnishings inside, He sent someone to invite Huang Zhiting over.
When Huang Zhiting went upstairs and entered the room, Gao Jingshi was looking at the main street outside the government office in front of the window, standing with his hands behind his hands, as if thinking about something.
Huang Zhiting stood behind him and waited for a while. Gao Pragmatic didn't move, which made her feel a little dissatisfied. She said, "I've seen him press the stage before."
Gao pragmatic turned to look at her and suddenly laughed: "Miss Huang said she was participating, but she didn't even move. It seems that I, the patrol officer, are not popular with Miss Huang."
Huang Zhiting said: "I have transformed into millions of people on the stage, and I don't know whether the person in front of me is real or fake..."
Gao Pragmatic laughed loudly. He knew that Huang Zhiting was different from Cen Ling. Although Cen Ling was the first person to "discover talents", he separated from him before he could win over him. However, Huang Zhiting had a friendship with him. , along the way, he also took good care of himself, a scholar who knew nothing about "survival in the wild". In the end, he listened to his own persuasion with great trust and "sent" himself to northern Guangxi to contact and persuade "the two houses."
As a result, Zhang Buxu actually turned into a high patrol officer, which would make anyone unhappy.
In fact, Gao Pragmatic knew very well that the reason she dared to speak like this in front of him at this moment was not because she was blinded by anger, but to remind herself that although her status with him had been reversed, her attitude towards him in her heart was not the same. Nothing has changed.
Or to put it more bluntly, she is still willing to believe in herself and still treat herself as a friend.
"Miss Huang, although Siming Prefecture has been recovered, Huang Enlong's family... unfortunately, they are extinct." Gao Pingshi made a "please sit down" gesture, took the lead to sit down, and said: "The Siming Mansion can't do this. What do you think?"
Huang Zhiting was indeed not polite. She said "please sit down" and sat down. Then she looked into Gao Pragmatic's eyes and asked, "In what capacity are you asking me this question now?"
Gao Pangshi was startled for a moment, then smiled: "What if it's a patrol in Guangxi?"
Huang Zhiting glanced at him indifferently and said expressionlessly: "Such matters will naturally be decided by the judge. How dare Siming Mansion have any objections?"
Gao pragmatically smiled: "Then, how about asking as Zhang Buxu?"
Huang Zhiting snorted: "You still have the nerve to mention the word 'Zhang Buxu'?"
"It's okay if you don't mention Zhang Buxu." Gao Qiuzhen chuckled and said, "Then Gao Qiuzhen is good... Miss Huang, Gao Qiuzhen is asking you this question now."
Huang Zhiting looked at him seriously and said: "Whether it's Gao Qiuzhen or Gao Zhizhi, I still remember what you said to me outside Luoyu Village that day. In your heart, the interests of the Han people will always be The tallest, isn’t it?”
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Miss Huang, you seem to have misunderstood what I said that day. What I said that day is that the China in my eyes is not just the Han people. All descendants of Yan and Huang Miao are my race, whether children or Miao people." Whether they are Yao people, etc., I will treat them all equally."
"But you are a Han official after all. If you really act on the side of Siming Mansion, you will definitely be impeached." Huang Zhiting sighed.
Her tone was a little lonely, but it sounded like she was really willing to believe Gao Pragmatic's words.
Gao Pingshi didn't expect that the persuasion work would start so smoothly, but he still smiled and joked: "Are Miss Huang worried about me?"
If it had been before, Huang Zhiting would have made a disdainful expression when she heard this, turned her head, and said "Humph" to show her disdain.
However, this time she did not. Instead, she lowered her head and said uneasily: "I, I just don't want to see you being impeached."
Gao Pingshi didn't expect her reaction and couldn't help but be startled.
Huang Zhiting seemed to feel that she had not fully expressed her meaning, and quickly added: "Actually, I am very grateful that you are willing to lead troops south to help me as promised."
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "That's what I promised, and I will definitely do it." He paused and then said seriously: "As for the question I just asked you, it was just for discussion, so you don't have to worry too much. "
Seeing that he said it directly, Huang Zhiting felt a little relieved and said: "Of course Siming Mansion doesn't want to see Siming Prefecture being converted into a native state. You must know this."
Gao pragmatically said: "Then what are the arrangements for Siming Prefecture next? It is indeed a bit difficult to directly transfer it to Siming Mansion."
Huang Zhiting thought for a while and said, "How about taking over from the Huang family branch?"
"Which branch is it?" Gao Pragmatic sighed: "Huang Enlong's branch was originally branched out from your family. Even if it is according to Ming Dynasty's custom, I can only choose people from your family to take up the post again."
Huang Zhiting was a little surprised and said in surprise: "My family? My father only has two sons. Although Ying Lei is reckless and ignorant, he is still the first candidate to be appointed as the local magistrate of Siming Prefecture. If you want to choose the local magistrate of Siming Prefecture in my family, If so, then only my younger brother will apply, but I’m still young and can’t take over the job.”
Gao Pragmatic smiled: "As long as the bloodline is no problem, as for the age, it's just a matter of finding someone to help him take care of the state affairs first, and then handing over the power when he reaches adulthood."
"Are you saying that we should set up officials to share knowledge?" Huang Zhiting frowned.
Gao pragmatic laughed: "Why do we have to set up the officials to be the same as the magistrates? Miss Huang, there is something you may have forgotten."
"What's up?"
"Thank you for your contribution." Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "In this incident in Siming Prefecture, you not only immediately reported the situation to the two houses so that they could arrange it calmly, but also took the initiative to send troops to control the incident in Mingjiang, the capital of the state. In the city, they prevented it from spreading to the entire state, and finally cooperated with the pressure from the government and army, forcing the locals in Mingjiang City to face the battle anyway. As a result, Huang Gongsheng's rebellion was controlled to the greatest extent...
Aren’t these all merits? As the saying goes, officials are rewarded for their virtues and merits are rewarded. For such merits, I think it is very appropriate to reward your younger brother to temporarily take charge of the state affairs. Miss Huang, what do you think? "
Huang Zhiting was stunned for a moment: "Should I apply for the job of temporarily photographing state affairs?"
