Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1065 Ginger is still old and spicy

"What's going on here? I heard that you came out of the palace with your front foot and came here with your back foot? Have you eaten yet?"

Zhang Siwei was wearing a Zhongjing uniform and met in the study. After seeing Gao Wushi, he asked, and then called Gao Wushi to sit down.

The Zhongjing Guanfu is a kind of Yanju clothing made by Emperor Jiajing. It has its own special meaning.

In the eyes of those who have never seen this kind of clothing, it is actually a bit nondescript.It has a patch, and it looks like an official uniform understood by later generations, but it also has cross collars and wide sleeves, with a large belt, and the head is not as dignified as an official hat, and it looks more like the clothes of ordinary scribes. Was additionally supplemented.

If you want to compare it, it's like a set of pajamas with epaulettes, armbands and even ribbons, making it private and unfair.

But it is a mere set of clothes that Emperor Jiajing personally participated in the finalization of the case, which obviously has its meaning. It is responsible for the daily communication purposes of officials.

Officials communicate with each other, if they are in the yamen, needless to say, they are all in official uniforms.However, after get off work and when going to and from the house, it seemed too serious to wear official uniforms, and it seemed too contemptuous to wear real Yanju uniforms such as Daoist robes. Therefore, during the ceremony, with Emperor Jiajing's personal intervention, Daming was born. This new style of half-public and half-private swallow clothes.

Zhang Siwei came out with such a change of clothes on purpose. Obviously he knew that Gao Yushi's overnight visit could not be just to visit his uncle. There must be something in the court to discuss or ask for advice. At this time, Zhongjing The best debut moment of the crown suit.

The ancients had strict etiquette, which can be seen from this.On the contrary, Gao Yushi, the number one scholar of the six poems who compiled the "Da Ming Hui Dian", lost some points in this matter today: he came directly wearing the robe of sitting in the palace when he entered the palace.

But Zhang Siwei didn't blame him. Firstly, he was very satisfied with this nephew, and he was very tolerant. Secondly, he also knew that Gao Yushi came here so urgently, obviously it was something important.

Gao Wushi said that he had already had dinner with the emperor in the palace, and then asked about his grandpa and grandma's physical condition.

Zhang Siwei sighed a little when he heard this, and said: "A letter from Puzhou half a month ago, your grandfather seemed to be losing his mind. When Taizheng was ordered by me to return to his hometown to visit him a few years ago, your grandfather could no longer tell him from him. Who is Jia Zheng and who are they?"

Gao Wushi frowned when he heard that, but he could "understand" it when he thought about it. Mrs. Zhang may have been satisfied with everything in his life. If the family wants money and power, there is no need to worry about anything—— For ordinary people, it is naturally very good, but for an old man, if he is really carefree, he will not be far from Alzheimer's disease.

I'm afraid that Li Shizhen has nothing to do with this matter. After all, Li Shizhen has already said before that he has suggested all the places he should suggest, and all the places that should be improved have also been improved. If the old couple can insist on listening to him, the health Maybe there are still three to five years, but the thinking... After all, even under the modern medical conditions of the highly pragmatic past life, Alzheimer's disease cannot be treated by drugs.

Zhang Siwei saw that Gao Yushi's mood was a little depressed, and instead comforted him: "You don't have to be too sad, there is a saying that life, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and it's just my son's unfilial piety, so I can't serve him in bed."

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and shook his head slightly.

Zhang Siwei knew what he meant, and sighed again: "I know you are worried about the court situation, but... there is nothing to do. If I, Ding You, return to my hometown, I can only hope for Xu Yingyang (Xu Guo, named Yingyang) ) can carry the banner of my real school.”

Gao Wushi pondered for a moment, and decided to speak straight, so he asked, "Should we increase the size of the cabinet?"

Zhang Siwei's eyes were fixed immediately, and he frowned slightly: "Did Li Dongbi (Li Shizhen) have something to say that he didn't dare to say to me, but told you?"

Gao Yushi remained silent.

Zhang Siwei took a deep breath, tapped the armrest of the red sandalwood grand teacher's chair lightly with his fingers, and asked after a while: "The cabinet, the world's attention, once it changes, I'm afraid it will be another battle between dragons and tigers."

Then he asked, "What do you think?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "This is what Yuanfu is thinking about, the officials dare not speak out."

"Tch!" Zhang Siwei sneered, "You don't dare to speak nonsense? You have been 'speaking nonsense' for no less than ten years—come on, 'officials' don't dare to speak nonsense, but nephew, I think you can speak nonsense."

Gao Wushi couldn't hold back his serious expression, couldn't help laughing out loud, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the image of my nephew is not very good... Well, since uncle asks, I will talk about it casually."

Zhang Siwei waved his hand, indicating that it's okay to speak up.

Gao Wushi pondered and said, "I have three candidates for my uncle's reference."

"Say it." Zhang Siwei also put away his jokes and said seriously.

"First, Wei Que'an (Wei Xuezeng)." Gao Wushi said: "Mr. Que'an was my third uncle's right-hand man in the past. When the third uncle was also in charge of the official department, Duke Que'an was the left servant. He has been in charge of the affairs of the world for many years and has a good reputation He is outstanding and has many disciples, and he has always been one of the most important ministers who firmly support reform in my faction. Regardless of prestige, qualifications or governance philosophy, I think he is very suitable for joining the cabinet."

Wei Xuezeng must be capable. In the original history, because he was Gao Gong's right-hand man, he was suppressed terribly after Zhang Juzheng came to power. Township.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, he was able to serve as the right servant of the Nanjing household department, then changed to the Nanjing Youdu censor, and finally became an official with the title of Nanjing household department minister.But in the 18th year of Wanli, Wei Xuezeng was reinstated at an advanced age. He took the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was in charge of military affairs in the four towns of Shaanxi, Yan, Ning, and Gansu.

This time he caught up with the Yibai Rebellion, and something dramatic happened at this time.To put it simply, 90.00% of Wei Xuezeng's performance was very good, but he wanted to appease one of the rebels for a while, but he delayed the attack time, so he was impeached and even arrested and returned to Beijing.

However, in fact, his other tasks are doing very well. Only one month after he was arrested, Ningxia was breached, and the battle was completely won. The strategic arrangements that agreed to this battle, including the deployment of all parties and the diversion of water to irrigate the city, were all in vain. It was decided during his tenure.

When the great victory was announced, Zhu Yijun summoned Zhao Zhigao and Zhang Wei, then great scholars, and both of them tried their best to defend Wei Xuezeng.

Mei Guozhen, who had impeached Wei Xuezeng for delaying the attack, also went to Shangshu and said: "Wei Xuezeng was a little slow to respond. I asked to blame the generals to boost morale. However, the order to arrest Wei Xuezeng came from my Shangshu. I deeply regret it. If Wei Xue has not been rehabilitated, the subject will be ridiculed by all ages."

Li Rusong, the main frontline general, also said: "When Wei Xuezeng was arrested, the soldiers of the three armies burst into tears."

Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Shaanxi at the time, also attributed the credit to Wei Xuezeng-you must know that Ye Mengxiong has been a political enemy faction for many years.

It can be seen from this that Wei Xuezeng not only has excellent ability, but also has enough prestige, and there is no shortage of contacts.

As for the so-called "slow response", he was already close to 70 years old at that time, isn't it normal to be slow to respond?But now, he is not yet sixty, which is the age that should be used to the fullest.

Zhang Siwei nodded, but did not immediately draw a conclusion, but said: "Where is the next one?"

Gao Wushi said: "The next one is my brother Wu Huanzhou." Wu Huanzhou is Wu Dui, and Huanzhou is his nickname.

Who knew Gao Wushi hadn't explained why he recommended Wu Dui this time, but Zhang Siwei raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Wu Junze, don't be in a hurry, wait until Yunnan is over - he is the chief minister, and he should concentrate on military affairs now. What's more, this battle If he wins, he will be regarded as a soldier, and he will win both the north and the south, and if he is elected into the cabinet at that time, it will be easy to block people's mouths."

Gao Wushi was Wu Dui's younger brother and a subordinate of the Ministry of War, so he was called by Wu Dui's name, and Zhang Siwei was his senior and superior, so he was called by his name.

What Zhang Siwei said was quite reasonable, so Gao Wushi nodded, instead of mentioning Wu Dui, he said, "The third is Zhang Xinzhai (Zhang Xueyan)."

This time, before it was Gao Yushi's turn to explain the reason for his recommendation, Zhang Siwei interrupted: "Wait a minute... Zhang Ziyu is now the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. You ask me to recommend him to the cabinet. If it happens, he will Is this Da Siong also concurrently involved?"

Gao Wushi hesitated for a moment, and said, "It seems that it's not easy to concurrently take on the role?"

"Don't seem like it, I'm telling you, I definitely can't do it concurrently." Zhang Siwei said lightly: "Nowadays, it's not easy to be a big farmer... The emperor stares at him every day, and the people from 'over there' are also very coveted. Fortunately, Zhang Ziyu was promoted by Mr. Gao Wenzheng in the past, and took over the position of Wang Ruguan (Wang Guoguang). He sat in this position, and no one could touch him. I'm afraid that some people will fight to the death."

Gao Wushi frowned, and said, "That's the reason, but uncle, you can't keep Mr. Zhang Xinzhai in the position of Da Sinong forever, can you?"

Zhang Siwei exhaled and asked, "It's not that he is going to be held in this position all the time. The key is that once he leaves office, it's hard to choose a successor. You also know that the current errands of the household department are difficult. There is a shortage of money everywhere, and money is spent everywhere, Zhang Ziyu is the most rare financial expert since Wang Ruguan became an official, if he leaves, what will happen to the household department?"

He didn't wait for a high-level and pragmatic interface, and said to himself: "I haven't even thought about this issue even if I don't stand on the side of the faction. It's useless to count people from their Xinxue side, and there is no one on their side who can replace Zhang Ziyu... ...Think about it, the ones who have the best chance of making progress right now are Zhao Zhigao, Zhang Wei and others, which one of these people is suitable to be a great farmer?"

Gao Wushi frowned and said, "If you talk about financial management, I'm afraid these few people are really not suitable."

Zhang Siwei sighed: "So, this position can't be moved easily now, and even taking a step back, the ability to manage money is a little bit weak, as long as you can stick to the right view, it's not impossible to consider it, but this also involves personality and qualifications... I After thinking about it, Wang Zhongbo can barely use it, but he has just served as a bachelor of the Imperial Academy this year, and it will not be easy to be promoted again in a while."

Wang Zhongbo is Wang Jiaping. He is from Shanyin, Shanxi. No wonder Zhang Siwei mentions him. However, Gao Wushi knows that Wang Jiaping is too stubborn. It might be good for someone to be an official like Zuodu Censor or Xingbu Shangshu, but it might not be suitable to be a Hubu Shangshu-the Hubu has to argue with various parties every day, and it would be better for someone like Wang Jiaping to be an official. Da Sinong, I'm afraid that the quarrel will turn into a quarrel.

Moreover, Gao Pragmatism has to consider that if such a person is replaced, the Ministry of Household Affairs may change from leaning towards the pragmatic school to becoming neutral. This is something he cannot be satisfied with.

Looking into Zhang Siwei's eyes, Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Those who gain are strong, and those who lose are strong."

The advantages are uprightness, and the disadvantages are also uprightness.This is a highly pragmatic evaluation.

Zhang Siwei is such a man, he naturally understood what his nephew meant when he heard it, and he couldn't help sighing: "That Zhang Ziyu should continue to work... I see this position, unless you are replaced, it will be difficult for anyone to go."

Replacing Gao Yushi, this is obviously just Zhang Siwei's emotion, Gao Yushi will not take it seriously, the position of Hubu Shangshu is not just for fun, even if Gao Yushi proves his ability by the actual performance of the richest man in the world, it is useless , You must have worked in enough positions, especially many "back-up positions" before you can be questioned.

Besides, the status of the world's richest man who is highly pragmatic may still be a minus item, and it may even be considered necessary to avoid this position.

Now, all candidates were rejected, only Wei Xuezeng was the only one, and Zhang Siwei did not express his opinion.

So Gao Wushi asked, "Then about Duke Wei Que'an joining the cabinet..."

Zhang Siwei thought for a while, then slowly said: "You can have a try." Then he said: "Who will replace the Ministry of Industry?"

Gao Wushi shook his head, saying that he hadn't thought about this issue yet.

Zhang Siwei asked: "How about Shen Li?"

Gao Pragmatically thought about it and nodded.

Zhang Siwei nodded slightly, and stopped talking, but said: "Let's talk about the cabinet affairs here. When you entered the palace today, what did the emperor tell you that made you come to me overnight? But it has something to do with the war in Yunnan." ?”

"We have talked about the war in Yunnan, and the emperor has already made a plan." Gao Wushi said, he talked about the discussion with Zhu Yijun, and then said: "But I came to uncle, not just to inform these situations, But later when I was leaving the palace, the emperor suddenly sent an envoy to show me a piece of essay written by Duke Liu of Dian Fu."

Zhang Siwei frowned and said, "But today, Liu Shi once reported the cause of the war in Yunnan?"

Gao Wushi nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly the way."

Zhang Siwei was a little surprised, and asked: "I read this essay today, and it is very common. Liu Shizeng's move is nothing more than picking himself out first. The emperor specially showed you this? Has the emperor approved it?"

"Approved." Gao Wushi said: "The emperor didn't say anything else, but he wanted to investigate the responsibility of the relevant officials in Yunnan for indulging in Burma. My nephew just doesn't understand here: this matter seems to involve Rao Renkan, and Rao Renkan Kan resigned the year before last, it seems that there is a shadow of my mentor Guo Gong..."

Zhang Siwei immediately understood Gao Yushi's doubts, but he was also a little surprised. He frowned and said, "You want to know whether Guo Gong's victory over Rao Renkan was related to the fight with 'over there'?"

Gao Wushi nodded slightly.

Zhang Siwei shook his head and said: "Wanli's nine-year foreign inspection, there must have been fighting between the two sides, but there is nothing special about Rao Renkan's incident, he was indeed found to be 'incompetent'. He has been in Yunnan for more than three years. There is almost no achievement, so he should have been impeached. But he was declared ineffective, in fact, there are reasons for you."

"Me?" Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this has nothing to do with me, I was in Guangxi at that time.

Zhang Siwei chuckled, and said: "At that time, you were in a turmoil in Guangxi. Even Zhang Ren, who was seriously ill, got a good evaluation in the foreign inspection. As a result, there was no movement in the 'next door' Yunnan. I know that Rao Renkan wandered around in Yunnan, and almost didn’t do any business. So I asked the inspector to ask him, what do you think he would answer?”

Naturally, Gao Wushi could only shake his head. Zhang Siwei snorted softly and said, "He said that the military and civilians in Yunnan only recognize the Mu family, and they don't know there is a governor, so it's hard to do anything."

Gao Yushi was stunned.

Zhang Siwei glanced at him, and said again: "The emperor knows what he said."

"Oh..." Gao Wushi suddenly realized, and thought to himself: Zhu Yijun's desire to control is quite strong. No wonder I was asked to beat Li Chengliang. It seems that either history has really gone astray, or Zhu Yijun has not yet because of "struggle". Country" event affects mood.However, no matter what, he showed me the Zhu Zhu today, probably implying that I should remind Liu Shizeng, don't let the Mu family go too?

But Liu Shizeng is not a member of our real school, he is a neutral party, and he is a fellow villager like Chen Yiqin, a bachelor in the Longqing period...

Huh, Chen Yiqin?What is his son Chen Yubi's job now?

Gao Wushi couldn't remember it for a while, so he asked Zhang Siwei about it.

Zhang Siwei said: "Chen Yubi? He is now the horse-washer of Zhan Shifu's Bureau of Economics and the editor of the Imperial Academy. He has been a lecturer for several years. This year, he will be a fellow examiner."

Such a coincidence, the same examiner?

While thinking about it, Gao Yushi mentioned to Zhang Siwei that he would also temporarily serve as a co-examiner. Zhang Siwei was quite surprised: "You are the number one scholar in the previous department, and you will be a co-examiner in this department?" He said to himself: "However, according to the example, it seems that it is indeed possible..."

Gao Wushi didn't want to worry about this, so he reminded: "What does the emperor's criticism have to do with Chen and his son?"

Zhang Siwei thought for a while, and said: "Chen Nanchong (Chen Yiqin) retired from the mountains in the past, and his son Chen Yubi was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. He was also a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing, but he was not a school of mind and learning, and his room teacher was Chen Nanchong."

Gao Wushi frowned and said: "This turn is really not small... Could it be that the emperor is thinking that Chen Yubi and I are taking the same exam in Chunwei this time, and asked me to sell my face to Chen Yubi and tell him the emperor's intentions? , and then ask Chen Yubi to inform Liu Shizeng in a private letter? But why do you want to do this?"

"It's dark under your lights." Zhang Siwei shook his head and said: "The emperor asked you to take the old Chen Clan under his command... To be honest, there are not many members of the Chen Clan, and Liu Shizeng is the best of them, and now he is the most outstanding one." It happens to be the governor of Yunnan, what do you mean by the emperor?"

Gao Wushi's heart moved, and he said, "Yunnan?"

Zhang Siwei smiled lightly, nodded, twisted his body, moved his back, and said relaxedly: "However, it is Yunnan. It seems that the emperor is very optimistic about your ability in foreign wars... He is letting you secretly Preside over the Yunnan war!"

PS: After writing these two chapters, I found that the character relationship diagram I made before is still very useful. I almost lost myself when I wrote it according to the diagram.

PS: I have been told many times recently why the daily update used to be 4, but now the daily update is 5-[-]K.To put it simply, the income of writing a book is very low, and I have to eat, and I can't do anything else when the daily change is [-], but I can't live off the wind and dew, right?
At the same time, I think history is a very serious thing. I am really not good enough to change my style to write the history of hippie and smiling faces, so I accept the low income, and I will continue to write books. I will ensure 4K-5K a day and keep writing completely. This, but it is really impossible to change [-] a day.
