As for the right-wing Mongolian response, Gao Pragmatic had some plans before. To put it simply, he would take advantage of Anda's death to push Han Naji to the throne, replace Xin Ai as the Great Khan, and then persuade Sanniang to marry At the same time, he gave Han Naji and Xin'ai's department to Butashri, the son of the third lady.
He told this idea to Zhu Yijun. After hearing this, Zhu Yijun did not agree immediately, but frowned and said: "I know that Mongolian wedding rules are not ethical, but Zhongjin Hatun should be Han Naji's grandmother." ,Is this...good?"
Gao pragmatic explained: "Since the emperor knows that the Mongolians do not respect ethics, why do you care about this? As long as the Mongolians are not blood relatives, let alone their grandmothers, it does not matter if they are their great-grandmothers. For me, Da Ming, there is no need to care about them. How to determine the title? Just make sure that Tumut is still respectful."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked: "So, will Han Naji and Zhong Jinhatun be willing to each other?"
"If the emperor is worried, I can think of a way to deal with this matter. Let's not contact them through the court or border officials first, and let the Beijing side mention the matter to them secretly. This way we can test their minds without losing any room for maneuver. .”
"That's not bad." Zhu Yijun nodded in approval.
In fact, a large part of the reason for his hesitation was that he was worried that if he messed up the rules, Han Naji and Jongjin Hatun would be dissatisfied, which would lead to bad things. Since Gao Jingshi has taken over this matter, it is equivalent to conducting a test in a private capacity. This can leave the court out, lest the court speak and it will be irreversible.
In today's novel, apart from Gao Pragmatic, the lecturer, there is only Shen Li, the lecturer. His duty is mainly to record, and he has never spoken.
However, Gao Pragmatic is not worried about him leaking the secret, because Shen Li and he are not only "comrades", but also "fellow townspeople".
Shen Li was from Yucheng County, Guide Prefecture, Henan Province. In this era, He Gao was pragmatic and a serious township party member. In addition, he was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing, so his forehead was firmly labeled as Gao Dang. Tag of.
Shen Li was famous for his opposition to Shen Yiguan in history, and this also left him with an eternal reputation. After his death, Zhu Yijun personally wrote four memorial inscriptions for him, calling him "The universe is righteous, Yiluo is a true Confucian."
In the original history, Gao Gong was both his examiner and his fellow countryman. He refused to pay a private visit to Gao Gong, so that Gao Gong ignored him as a person seeking fame and reputation and planned to sharpen his skills first. Mind. This life was different, because Gao Jingshi knew who Shen Li was as a person and his future, so he had been on good terms with him and slowly brought him into the inner circle of the former Gao Party.
Therefore, to a large extent, Shen Li's appearance in the Gao Party is actually due to Gao Pragmatism, which makes him pay more attention to Gao Pragmatism than the entire Gao Party.
Such a person is of course highly pragmatic and does not worry that he will reveal the secret.
The matter of Mongolian response will be here for the time being. Next, Gao Pragmatic wrote a letter to recall Cao Gan, who was based in Chengdu and was thinking of ways to open up the southwest trade route, and asked him to personally take action to implement this matter.
Cao Gan's status in the Jinghua Group is quite high, and he is the first member of the family who has not changed his surname. What is particularly special is that unlike sea trade and maritime power, which are divided into private ports and the current northern and southern fleets, Jinghua's land route " "Foreign trade" is centralized in Jinghua Trading Company, and Cao Gan has been in charge of Jinghua Trading Company from beginning to end for more than ten years.
This kind of qualifications can only be matched by Gao Mo and Gao Rui among the entire "household family" in Jinghua.
But relatively speaking, Gao Mo is at the center and is responsible for the entire Beijing supervision system and highly pragmatic personal security; Gao Rui is at Kaiping, the core town of Beijing’s industrial system, and is considered to “manage production” and is not responsible for “direct Therefore, Cao Gan’s position is particularly unique in the trade area.
However, after Cao Gan received the letter in Chengdu, he set off for the capital on the same day without saying a word or even waiting to spend the night.
In fact, in Cao Gan's view, this matter was proposed by himself. If he hadn't reported it to the master last time, the master might not have known that there were signs of disintegration within Tumut. Therefore, in his opinion, it was natural for the master to call him back to Beijing to preside over this matter.
Of course, there was another personal reason why he was anxious to return to the capital: his son Cao Ke was back. It is said that the master was quite satisfied with him and arranged an identity for him. He asked him to take the boy's examination with the capital's household registration to see if he could get a bachelor's degree. If you perform well, you can take the Sunchon Township Examination next year.
Being a servant actually has various benefits. To put it simply, you can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. However, there is also a trouble, that is, you are generally not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. If you want to take part in the imperial examination, the head of the family must first agree, that's for sure, but there are a lot of troublesome procedures to go through.
Well, in fact, generally speaking, the master's family disagrees. The reason is obvious: after passing the examination, he is a master. It is hard to say whether the master's family will be able to suppress him in the future - what if this guy is studying? Amazing, what if I not only passed the exam to be a scholar, but also passed the exam to be a civil servant? Even in the unlikely event that someone gets a Jinshi exam and becomes a master, then the master's family still has a lot of suppressive power?
However, Gao Pragmatic is obviously an exception. His attitude is to let you take the exam, so what if you just take the exam and become a Jinshi? Are these six top picks of mine just for fun?
Even if you become a Jinshi master and have the word "高" (高) on your forehead, my kindness to you will be as great as a mountain. This will definitely be recognized by the people of the world - otherwise, would you be able to take part in the imperial examination?
Therefore, even if Cao Ke passes the Jinshi examination, as long as he makes any move that is detrimental to Gao Pragmatic, it is equivalent to committing suicide - political suicide.
Real awesomeness is not reflected in bullying the weak, but rather in training and promotion.
Cao Gan estimated that this journey would take at least half a month, so there was no need to talk to him for the time being.
The next major event in the capital has focused on Guo Pu.
The Taifu, the Crown Prince and the Grand Master, and Guo Pu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the great scholar of Zhongji Palace, sought to retreat for three consecutive days.
The emperor's replies varied from "no", "warm words of comfort, no" to "sincerely Yuan Fu will do his best to help, but no".
But then, Guo Yuanfu asked to see the two palaces. So the two palaces summoned the emperor again that day.
The next day, the emperor ordered the Superintendent of Ceremonies to pass the decree and summon the nine ministers and other important ministers to discuss the addition of cabinet ministers.
This move meant that Guo Pu's retreat was decided, so the emperor was making preparations.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty inherited an ancestral system for selecting officials called tingtui. The vacancies of senior cadres are not directly determined by the emperor. Instead, they must first be negotiated by senior officials of third rank or above and the chief officials of various ministries. Two to three people or even more must be recommended by the emperor and appointed by the emperor. This method was used throughout the Ariake Dynasty.
Of course, the emperor has done nothing? No, the emperor can make selections from the list at this time or not.
For example, "In the first month of the third year of Tianqi, the court promoted cabinet ministers, including Sun Shenxing and Sheng Yihong, who were the first to use them."
Another example is "In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, Cai Guozhen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was dismissed, and seven people were promoted by the imperial court. Li Dai was at the end of the list, and the emperor specially promoted him."
It can be seen that sometimes the ministers' top recommendations were not the emperor's favorite, and sometimes the emperor even looked down upon any of the candidates they recommended. The differences in employment standards between monarchs and ministers are so great that outsiders are baffled.
However, don't think that the emperor is so generous and kind under any circumstances. If this is the case, it would be almost cute. In the era of imperial power, the emperor had an act of power that went hand in hand with the imperial court system, called the Zhongzhi, which meant that the emperor could issue personal orders or edicts from the palace, bypassing the Zhongshu sect through abnormal means, and deliver them directly to a supervisor for execution.
Although this time, everyone knows that in this situation, there is a need to add cabinet ministers. In fact, no matter how Jiu Qing recommends, the final result is certain: the emperor will definitely choose the one recommended by the first minister before leaving. Even if the results of the court's recommendation are different, the emperor will definitely veto the candidate recommended by the court and directly promote him.
Of course, if the situation reaches this point, the problem will be more serious, which means that the chief minister has lost control of the cabinet, the six ministries, etc. Moreover, cabinet ministers who join the cabinet without being recommended by the court will be embarrassed - there is no time for the recommendation and the recommendation is not passed, which are two different things.
Still taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, during the Wanli period in history, there were also vacancies for ministers in the Ministry of Personnel. The "Tianguan" was a very important position, and there was no need for cabinet ministers to come. However, Wanli was not satisfied with the candidates recommended by the court. After a stalemate, Wanli issued a decisive decree and personally selected Li Youzi, a fellow countryman who was the first assistant to Zhang Juzheng at the time.
Unexpectedly, Li didn't buy it.
In the emperor's view, this Jinshi, who had been a Jinshi for the 26th year of Jiajing's reign, had hardly made any progress in the position of minister, and he was determined to be unable to resist the great seal of the heavenly official falling from the sky.
However, Li Mou bluntly stated in his memorial: Tingtui is an ancestral tradition, and the wise men are expected to return. Now the emperor ignores the public opinions and appoints minor ministers according to the central decree. In fact, he is angry with the ministers and is not the behavior of a holy king.
Li's attitude here was very clear. He would not accept the official title awarded by Zhongzhi.
It can be seen that if there is a stalemate in Tingtui, the problem will be very serious.
Mr. Shen Ge was obviously not a strong man who would challenge the emperor and the chief minister in person. His performance in the court nomination perfectly reflected his style. As soon as Guo Pu proposed that Pan Sheng join the cabinet, he immediately agreed.
It was obviously impossible for Zhang Siwei to object. Xu Guo and Yu Youding were not second-rate either, and both agreed.
The cabinet unanimously approved the proposal of the chief minister. The six ministries and the chief officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Hanlin Academy were not stupid and expressed their agreement. The Ministry of Rites did not say anything - Pan Sheng himself was the minister.
So the Tingtui was successfully completed and everything was under control, but the emperor was not in a high mood and left silently after completing the Tingtui.
Gao pragmatic is a unique lecturer. He is often called upon by the emperor to be with him, and today is no exception.
After the court promotion, Zhu Yijun rarely chose not to take a sedan chair, but walked slowly back to Qianqing Palace. He was silent for a long time on the way, and then suddenly said to Gao Jingshi: "Pragmatic, after Yuan Fu left, the three Gu Mingfu I am no longer with you..."
It is difficult for Gao Pragmatic to judge whether Zhu Yijun's mood was sighing or relief, or both, but was it more sighing or more relief?
He could only comfort him: "Yuanfu has completed what the late emperor told him, and he has retired with great achievements. Your Majesty, next year will be the tenth year of Wanli, and it will be the real Wanli era. Your Majesty, can you and your ministers... If you live up to the late emperor's trust, from now on, you will see the real chapter."

The situation changed suddenly last night. I had insomnia and a cold. I probably have a slight fever today and my brain hurts. It’s hard to say whether I can complete it according to the amount. Thanks to book friend "Si Niu Ma" for your monthly ticket support, thank you!
