In fact, Zhang Siwei was also slightly led astray by Gao Jingshi, because Gao Jingshi asked about the candidates who were most promising to replace him in the cabinet, rather than asking about the candidates who could replace him in the cabinet.
There seems to be a big difference between "most promising" and "can", but if there is strong Austrian support in the cabinet, "can join the cabinet" can be equivalent to joining the cabinet, and if the emperor himself has a clear tendency, it is safer. .
In fact, although the Practical Learning School is not as good as the Heart School School in terms of being "the most promising candidate to be elected to the cabinet", if it comes to the qualification of "can be admitted to the Cabinet", there are quite a few candidates.
Except for Wu Dui, who is already the Minister of the Ministry of War, and not to mention other subjects, just talking about the Yichou Section of the 44th Jiajing Period, where Gao Gong was the chief examiner, the disciples of the Practical School who are expected to join the cabinet in the next few years are as follows:
Chen Jingbang, the seventh in the second-level A; Song Yingchang, the twentieth in the second-level; Liu Zihua, the 22nd in the second-level; Chen Yide, the 34th in the second-level; Gu Yangqian, the 44th in the second-level; Han, the 47th in the second-level楫; No. 65 He Luowen in the second grade.
And although ranked in the top three, Shen Li, the third in the top three, passed the shujishi examination and entered the academy; Tu Menggui, the fourth in the top three; and Song Liangzuo, the twelfth in the top three.
The above are all candidates who have the opportunity or qualifications to join the cabinet in the next few years or more than ten years.
There are also some high-ranking students who are usually unlikely to join the cabinet because of their "average" test scores, but they may still be high-ranking officials in the ministry, such as:
The 34th place in the top 3A is Guang Mao; the 25th place in the top 3A is Zhang Mengnan; the 42nd place in the top 3A is Song Zhihan; the 58th place in the top 3A is Yang Jiaxian; the 123rd place in the top 3A is Kuang Duo; the 1st place in the top 3A is Song Zhihan One hundred and twenty-sixth Hu Chuan; top 155 Zhang Xueyan; top 167 Yang Xiang; top 235 Liu Liangbi; top 249 Luo Zun; Cheng Wen, the 260th person in the top three; Li Chunpu, the 296th person in the top three; Du Huazhong, the 302nd person in the top three.
By the way, Mr. Xu Guo and Xu Ge were ranked 108th among the top three in this subject. Logically speaking, this score is no longer good, but he did very well in the examination, ranking seventh in the examination, and Later, he was selected as a Shujishi by the imperial examination. With good luck, he soon became a daily lecturer, so he had sufficient qualifications, so he surpassed a group of people who passed the examination much earlier than him and entered the cabinet in the same year.
By the way, when Gao Pangshi first entered the Hanlin Academy last year, Chen Siyu, who was in charge, was ranked 232nd in the top three in this subject, and his ranking was not very good. But like Xu Guo, he was the type who did well in the general examination, passed the imperial examination, became a scholar, and stayed in the Hanlin Academy. However, his paper was not passed on the high points, but on the same points as the examiner's application.
Although he could also recognize Gao Gong as his teacher, he did not burn the hot stove of Gao Gong, but the cold stove of Shen Shixing at that time. The idea may be similar to what Zhang Juzheng did to Xu Jie in his early years.
The above are only the talents of the Jiajing 44th year who were examined by Gao Gong, not counting the other students of the scientific school who were examined by Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei.
However, there are only ten people in this department who are expected to join the cabinet! In addition to these ten "preserver prime ministers", there are at least thirteen other senior officials at the ministry level.
You know, although Gao Gong was the examiner for only one subject, he was a co-examiner for several subjects.
And almost all of these people now have a group of their own disciples. What a huge bureaucratic group this is?
The disciples and former officials of the Gao family in Xinzheng are all over the world, which is no joke.
What's more, these are just disciples, not "old officials". Gao Gong has served as Minister of Civil Affairs for so many years. How many people have he promoted? In theory, those people are all old officials.
Why is Gao Pragmatic so awesome? Even the teacher Guo Pu's ability to secure the position of first assistant depends on his support to some extent?
Because these disciples and former officials left behind by Gao Gong are his political resources, he is the successor to Gao Gong's mantle.
Coupled with his special status in front of the emperor and his huge network of interests in the palace, if he is not awesome, who is?
The ten years of being a "Xiao Ge Lao" are not in vain!
And now, Guo Pu is about to step down, and Zhang Siwei is about to succeed as the first assistant. Although Gao Pragmatic is his nephew, how can he just treat him as a junior?
To put it bluntly, without the support of Gao Pragmatic, even if he becomes the first assistant, he may not be able to stabilize such a big deal as the Practical School! These students of Gao Gong can sell Gao Pragmatic's "worldly brother"'s face, but they may not necessarily sell his Zhang Siwei's face.
Why? Because the foundation of the Real School was the former "Gao Party", and Zhang Siwei was actually from the Jin Party.
Zhang Siwei becoming the leader of the Real School is like the situation when "a small sect succeeds a large sect" when the imperial family changes. If the "big sect" does not have the support of someone who can keep his word, the "little sect emperor" will not have an easy life.
Let’s not talk about those after the top three, there are too many. Let’s just talk about the second-level “half-way cultivators” who are expected to join the cabinet in the next few years.
Chen Jingbang had just been promoted from Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude to the rank of bachelor's student at the Hanlin Academy last month and was in charge of the affairs of the academy, and he still served as a lecturer at the banquet. He has been an official since the Longqing period, and his qualifications are sufficient. After serving in the Hanlin Academy for one or two years, he will be "released" and become a minister or at least a minister. Generally speaking, he should not be dismissed from official positions. The two departments of Rites are the departments that lay the foundation for entering the cabinet.
Song Yingchang is a little more troublesome. He was promoted to deputy envoy to Shanxi in February last year, and was transferred to Henan in the middle of this year. His current official position is "deputy envoy to the Second Prefecture of Guide, Daliang Daoguan, Kaifeng". Although he has sufficient qualifications and a decent level, he is still serving abroad. There is no chance of joining the cabinet for a while. We will wait and see when he can return to the central government.
Liu Zihua is also an outsider and is currently the magistrate of Dengzhou, Shandong. However, when Gao Pragmatic met with Guo Pu a few days ago, he asked Teacher Guo about his whereabouts. Guo Pu said that it was already in operation and Liu Zihua would be promoted to Shandong Salt Transport in the near future. make. But this is meaningless. He is still a foreigner. Who knows when he can return to the center.
Chen Yide had been the Sicheng of Shangbaosi as early as the early years of Wanli. Historically, he had stopped at this point. He was criticized because of Gao Gong's downfall. The end was "live in idleness", that is, he was dismissed from office, and he never served as an official again. But in this life, because Gao Gong did not fall, Chen Yide was already the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and was in charge of temple affairs. This can be regarded as half-stepping into the threshold of Jiuqing. There is no chance of joining the cabinet in a few years. It depends on whether there is someone to support him. If so, he can now serve as a minister of a certain department.
After Gu Yangqian became a Jinshi, he first served as director and doctor of the Ministry of Industry for two terms, and then took up other posts, serving as Fujian Inspector, Guangdong Counselor, and Deputy Envoy. He was transferred to Yunnan Qianshi because he obeyed the native officials of Shunning and went to Zhejiang to consult. After Gao Pangshi returned to Beijing, he proposed to Guo Pu that he be transferred to Jizhou as deputy military envoy. Guo Pu has not made a clear stance for the time being, but he is expected to seriously consider it.
Han Ji has always been Gao Gong's confidant. After serving as a science and education officer in the capital for several years, he was also appointed as Shuntian Inspector. After returning, he was promoted to the Procuratorate and the Censor of Qiandu to governor Fujian. He is still serving as governor of Fujian. I guess I won't be able to come back for the time being. By the way, Gao Qi launched a decisive battle with the Minhai Pirate Alliance in Quanzhou but the Fujian government did not interfere. This was his reason.
After all, he is Gao Gong's direct confidant, and he will not say too much about Gao Pragmatic's actions.
For Han Ji, who was Gao Gong's die-hard disciple in both his original history and this life, Gao Jingshi still wanted to give him a push, but he was still very important as the governor of Fujian because Gao Jingshi was exploring the island of Taiwan. At that time, I couldn't let someone who had conflicts with me go to Fujian to do bad things, so I had to "wrong" him and stay in Fujian for another two years.
As for how to arrange the next step, Gao Pragmatic has not yet thought about it, and Guo Pu will not be in office by then. I wonder if Zhang Siwei will also serve as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. If not, it will be more or less troublesome—— Of course, it's not a big trouble. After all, he is the chief assistant, and he can brag in front of the emperor, so he should be able to handle it. Then let's see if we can transfer him back to Beijing to serve as a minister.
Finally, there is He Luowen. He is a fellow Henan fellow of Gao Pragmatic. Moreover, during the 40th year of Jiajing, he was the leader of Henan Jieyuan, and he has some fate with Gao Pragmatic. He is also a typical historian. He has been transferred from the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu all the way from editor to editor. Now he is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Moreover, even after becoming the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, none of his Japanese lecturers have resigned. He is considered the current Japanese official. The person with the highest official position among officials.
However, this person had some problems with his ethics, and he relied on his seniority and a bit of grandeur. Historically, he was impeached and resigned around the 12th or 13th year of Wanli. He ended his official career as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.
In fact, it stands to reason that he has a good chance of joining the cabinet. Gao Pragmatic still hopes to take another look. If he can be saved, it is best to help him - it is not easy to cultivate a cadre in an organization!
You have already become the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. If you step forward casually, you will be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who can immediately join the cabinet. At this time, you are impeached and stepped down. Are you unjust? So, wipe your butt quickly and be an honest person, I can still help you. If you continue to pretend to be senior, don't blame me, this "brother", for not speaking up for you.
As for Shen Li, Tu Menggui, and Song Liangzuo, their rankings were not very high and they all fell into the top three. However, they still had some actual abilities, so they passed the selection and entered the Shujishi.
However, Shen Li had gone back to observe mourning for several years due to the successive deaths of his parents. Calculating the date, it seems that he should be able to return to Beijing this year. In terms of his qualifications, although it has been delayed for several years, after returning to the Hanlin Academy, his position will probably still be the same. A little bit ahead of Gao Pragmatism, maybe he is a bachelor of lectures... Well, this is also a chance to join the cabinet within a few years.
Tu Menggui was also a die-hard disciple of Gao Gong. In the original history, this man was a die-hard disciple of Gao Gong. After Zhang Juzheng overthrew Gao Gong, he was demoted as a right-hand official and became the county magistrate of Junxian County, Zhili. From then on, There is no mention in the history books, which can be said to be a miserable group.
But in this life, he was very powerful as a Gao Gong iron man. Not to mention his promotion and transfer in the middle, he is now the governor of Yingtian that everyone envies - the full name is "Prime Minister of Grain Reserves, Military Affairs and Governor of Yingtian and other mansions".
This position was established in the fifth year of Xuande's reign and was responsible for supervising the grain reserves in the Jiangnan area. At first, he was appointed by officials such as Shilang. After Jingtai, he was appointed as the censor of the capital. During the Jiajing period, he was given the rank of admiral to lead the army and the people to resist Japanese invasion. The jurisdiction area has been increased and decreased frequently. The largest one currently governs Yingtian, Chengtian, Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Taiping, Chizhou, Huizhou, Ningguo, Anqing Eleven Prefectures and Guangde Prefecture.
To put it exaggeratedly, it means that "most of the money and food in the world lies in Yingtian."
However, the scope of this position was reduced during the Gao Gong period, and Anqing was removed. That is to say, it now only manages the part south of the Yangtze River in Nanzhili.
But in any case, the essence of Jiangnan is still under its jurisdiction.
Of course, this also brings about another problem, that is, the Real School will not give up this position easily - this area itself is a stronghold for Xinxue. With Tu Menggui here, he can also compete with the Xinxue School for the "source" of talented students from Jiangnan. , how can you give up such an important position of real power?
Therefore, although Tu Menggui has great power, I am afraid that this position will take a few more years. Neither Guo Pu nor Zhang Siwei will easily transfer him, and Gao Pragmatic himself will not agree. Unless there is really no other way, he will continue to stay in Suzhou and cannot easily move, even if he returns to Beijing.
This senior's age is very normal for Jinshi, thirty years old. He was appointed as a promotion official in Huai'an Prefecture. Due to his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the military department and was promoted to You Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Dali Temple is one of the three ministers of law, and You Shaoqing is the third highest ranking official in Dali Temple. In theory, if someone promotes him, he can be promoted to Minister of Punishment.
However, his health was not very good, and he had planned to resign from his job some time ago. Annan, who was far away from home and was so pragmatic, was so shocked when he received his letter that he quickly wrote back to ask him to give up the idea. He also specially wrote to Li Shizhen, asking him to Go help and see what's going on with Song Liangzuo.
Gao Pragmatic didn't understand Li Shizhen's reply very well, but he probably guessed that Song Liangzuo had some kind of tumor. In later generations, this could be treated with surgery or chemotherapy, but it was more troublesome at this time.
Fortunately, Li Shizhen was Li Shizhen. He prescribed a prescription to Song Liangzuo, told him a lot of dietary taboos, and then patted his butt and went back to see Xinzhai to continue his lecture.
According to Li Shizhen, it was probably caused by Song Liangzuo's love of eating "fish dumplings" - what the Japanese call sashimi. In fact, China has had it for a long time, and it has been called fish dumplings since the Tang Dynasty. Because sashimi, I guess. There are some parasites and other unclean things, which can cause diseases and so on.
Gao Pragmatic could only roughly understand what it meant, but he couldn't figure it out in detail, and he was too lazy to spend the effort. In short, he just wrote to him and asked him to have a good rest and wait until he returned to Beijing.
His words were still useful, so in this life Song Liangzuo did not follow the old path of history and persisted without resigning.

I'm dizzy when sorting out the information. I remember I said that primary information such as "Records of Shenzong" are all pure ancient texts without punctuation. I just spent the whole day in them... So these two updates today, but the number of words is not very high. Not too little, more than 8K. Please subscribe, please vote.
