Chapter 1327 Big Killer!
Whether Gu Xiancheng's position was arranged by Gao Yushi or not, Yang Tianguan will obviously find it difficult to find out for a while, but after recalling Gu Xiancheng's official career trajectory, it is hard to believe that Gao Yushi did not play a certain role in it—such as the hidden Behind the scenes, although you can't see it, you can definitely feel its powerful black hands.

Among the officials, the largest is Shangshu, followed by the left and right servants. These three are called Tang Shangguan.Down is the Langzhong of the four divisions, which is equivalent to the division chiefs of later generations.The four clean-up departments are the Wenxuan Department, the Seal Inspection Department, the Jixun Department, and the Kaogong Department.

Although the four clean-up departments are parallel units, the status of these four departments is quite different.Among them, the most powerful ones are Wenxuan Division and Kaogong Division.

Why is it great?The Department of Anthology is responsible for the appointment and removal of personnel, and the examination of merit is responsible for the evaluation of officials.

Although there are very few official officials in these two divisions, no one dares to provoke them, because as long as you are an official, whether you are promoted or dismissed, whether you get rich or go bankrupt, basically depends on their whim.

Not to mention a "feudal dynasty" like the Ming Dynasty, even if you are in later generations, wouldn't you be elated if the minister of the organization came to talk to you?But if it were the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee who came to talk to you, even if you had no ghosts in your heart, you would still be frightened, afraid that you might accidentally make a mistake, right?
Because of this, except for the "airborne" contestants appointed by the emperor Chen Duan, most of the ministers and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were taken over by doctors from the Wen Xuan Department and the Kao Gong Department.

And Yang Wei remembers very clearly that Gu Xiancheng's official career resume is as follows:
In the eighth year of Wanli, he was on the gold list of high school, No. 2 in the top two in the imperial examination, and was selected as a good scholar by the hall.After the disbandment of the museum, he stayed in Beijing due to his excellent grades and was awarded the head of the household department (Zhengliupin).

In the tenth year of Wanli, he was changed to be the head of the Department of Examination of Gong of the Ministry of Officials (Zheng Liupin), but shortly thereafter he took leave of absence and went to Ding You, which lasted for three years.

In the 13th year of Wanli, Gu Xiancheng canceled his leave and returned to the imperial court to serve as the head of the Department of Inspection and Sealing of the Ministry of Officials.It stands to reason that the real power has been greatly reduced from the merit examination department to the seal inspection department, but as a supplementary official, it is already very lucky to be able to stay in Beijing, so there is no other way to force it.

However, a miraculous situation happened. Within three months, Gu Xiancheng was promoted to the post of Yuanwailang of the Kaogong Division—this is the deputy position of the Kaogong Division, second only to Langzhong, and it is also the position that Gu Xiancheng still holds.

Judging from Yang Wei's decades of experience in the officialdom, there are only three possibilities for Gu Xiancheng to have such a situation.

The first is Jane in the heart of the emperor: the emperor was so impressed with him that he was promoted to an official position immediately after returning to Beijing for only three months.And it's not just a simple promotion, but also a hot bench from a cold bench.

The second type is called someone in the court: there is a big person looking after him, and this big person can talk about one of the most popular positions in the world in a sensitive office like the Ministry of Officials.

The third is called stepping on dog shit: Well, it’s a matter of luck, let’s not talk about it.Besides, judging from today's situation, Yang Tianguan definitely doesn't believe that Gu Xiancheng just got lucky.

Is Gu Xiancheng Jane in the emperor's heart?It doesn't look like it. The standard of "Jane is in the heart of the emperor" is very high now - look at other people's high pragmatism, that is called Jane in the heart of the emperor.It was also the gold list in the eighth year of Wanli. Now Gao Wuzhen has been in the first rank of the official position, and he is the dignified prince and teacher, and the minister of the household department!

Look at Wang Xijue, he is already an old man, and his title is no more than the crown prince and Taifu. The least sorting is master, master, and protection).

Therefore, with a high level of pragmatism in front of him, although Gu Xiancheng can always get into important positions with real power, the speed of his promotion is really not flattering, and no matter how you look at it, he has not reached the level of "simple in the emperor's heart".

In this way, the only possibility is the second article, Gu Xiancheng "there are people in the court".

However, although Gu Xiancheng has some literary fame, Donglin Academy has not yet appeared. Who can take care of him in the court?There are fewer and fewer neutral factions in the DPRK. The bosses are either from the real school or the heart school. Even if there are occasional neutral faction bosses, they will catch Gu Xiancheng at every turn. "With a mocking and scolding style, it is estimated that he would not dare to have anything to do with him.

Yang Tianguan believes that there is only one more reliable inference, and that is that the high-level pragmatism has quietly arranged.

In fact, although Yang Wei's guess is not entirely correct, it cannot be wrong.Gao Wushi did intervene, but the main point of intervening was not Gu Xiancheng's position.

In the original history, Gu Xiancheng's promotion trajectory was not much different from this world, and Gao Yushi didn't specially arrange for him.The reason why he often criticizes the school of mind, but still can still hang around in the official department, and most of them are in the examination department, is that the successive ministers of the official department in the original history did not like the school of mind very much, but more inclined to manage the world. Practice.

Gao Wushi's role this time was to secretly confess to Song Zhihan's "senior brother" who was the right servant of the Ministry of Officials at the time, not to let Gu Xiancheng be impeached for no reason.In other words, just don't worry about anything, and protect him if something happens.

The official department has been the home of the Practical School for many years. Song Zhihan stayed in the official department as Gao Gong's disciple, and Yang Wei would definitely not easily oppose his opinions, so Gu Xiancheng had a smooth sailing.

Gao Yushi's real foreshadowing this time was that he had just returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the Household Department under the imperial edict. Before he returned to the capital, he notified Wang Yuexi, the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, that he had "suddenly contracted an acute illness" and immediately went home to recuperate.

Wang Yuexi, named Xiaotang, Jinshi of Guiwei, Jinyiwei (referring to household registration).Guiwei is the subject of the 11th year of Wanli, and the three high-practice students Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao, and Fang Congzhe all studied in this subject.

But Wang Yuexi was not Gao Yushi's student, his teacher was someone else, Han Ji—yes, Gao Yushi's senior brother, who was a bachelor student at the Imperial Academy at the time, and Han Senior Brother who is now the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment.

It can also be seen from this that one thing, whether it is a direct descendant of the Real School, has a great influence.Gu Xiancheng and Gao Yushi are in the same discipline, but now they are only Yuanwailang.Wang Yuexi was one subject later than him, but because he is a direct descendant of the Real School, he is now a doctor.

As for Li Tingji and the other three, they cannot be compared in this way. Although the three of them are only "Hanlin idle officials", they are noble officials. It is possible to send the servant outside.It will not only take a long time for a doctor to become a servant, but the chance of success is much lower than that of Hanlin.

"Heavenly gods" and "halfway cultivating immortals", at least they are all cultivators, and they are not comparable to ordinary people.

Gao Wushi hadn't returned to Beijing before, so he guessed that after he became the Minister of the Household Department, he would definitely have troubles because of "making troubles".

But Jingcha's move is a bit like the "Seven Injuries Fist". Of course, it is very powerful to hit others, but it is also very likely to injure and disable yourself. With the ultimate move of Jingcha, it is also possible to decide temporarily whether or not Wang Yuexi should do it in person - now it seems that he probably won't.

This move is not only to protect Wang Yuexi, but also to put himself in a position that can be attacked and defended.After all, it is an "acute illness", maybe it will be lingering for a long time, or maybe it will be cured the next day, and even a cow can be killed with one punch.

When this "disease" will be cured is not Li Shizhen's decision, but Gao Pragmatism's decision.

This day, all the officials in the capital were extremely busy, but unfortunately most of them were not on business, and most of them rushed to pay their respects to the pier.If there is a teacher in a high-ranking position, the disciples must visit; if there is no teacher in Beijing, they must go to the elders of the same age as the teacher;

After Yang Tianguan confirmed that the doctor of the examination department could not preside over the detailed affairs of the Beijing inspection, he politely called Gu Xiancheng, a member of the inspection department, and appointed him on the spot to act as the doctor's authority and take full charge of the Beijing inspection.

Gu Xiancheng was able to pull Donglin Academy in the original history, so he was naturally not a fearful person, so he responded on the spot, with no fear, a serious face, and a straight back.

Yang Tianguan reassured him in a warm and gentle way, but the meaning behind the words was that the rise and fall of the world depended on you alone.

Gu Xiancheng, who is not yet 40 years old, was so proud of his heart-to-heart encouragement that he, an old man in the officialdom, made a statement on the spot, saying that the key to this Beijing inspection is to inspect the officials' "clear four things", and hope that the boss of the Tianguan people support. (Yang Wei is a 26-year Jinshi in Jiajing, not only senior, but also his old leader, so he can be called the boss.)
Yang Wei, who is in his seventies, didn't question his theory in detail, and after listening to it for a while, he directly agreed with Gao Pragmatic's idea of ​​killing people with a knife.In fact, this is the absence of Gao Yushi. If Gao Yushi was present, he would be surprised: You, Gu Xiancheng, have summed up the gist of "Donglin Meeting" so early?

In fact, Gu Xiancheng not only said "four essentials" in "Donglin Meeting", but his original words were "four essentials for order", "breaking two confusions", "respecting nine benefits", and "screening nine losses".However, most of the following items explain "why the lectures are given", which are tailor-made for Donglin Academy and have nothing to do with Jingcha at this time.

The so-called "clarification of the four essentials" here clearly means clear and definite meaning.As for the four essentials, the first is to "know the foundation"; the second is to "resolve"; the third is to "respect the scriptures";

The most fundamental of these "four essentials" is "knowledge".

In fact, the core of the "Donglin Meeting" produced by Donglin Academy is also the word "Zhiben".What is "knowledge"?It is to get to the bottom of the matter, return Confucianism to its orthodox status, and abandon Lu Wang's ostentatious style of study.

Although Yang Tianguan didn't listen carefully, once Gu Xiancheng said "knowledge", he understood that Gu Xiancheng's muzzle must be aimed at the Xin School this time.

The reason is very simple. The School of Mind has always been against Neo Confucianism, and they do not recognize the idea of ​​studying things to achieve knowledge. They pay attention to "there is nothing outside the mind"-this in itself has deviated from the main meaning that Wang Yangming wanted to express, because Wang Yangming actually attaches great importance to "reaching conscience" .The younger generation of Lu Wang Xinxue completely went astray, directly went to the first class of Xuan and Zen, and went completely to idealism.

However, Jingshishixue is different. They consider themselves to be in the line of "Confucianism", especially after Gao Yushi took over the banner, they very much recognized "searching things to know", but his "searching things to know" is different from the original study. He believes that everything has its reason, and "Confucianism" should find out the "reason".

Even Gao Yushi once raised some questions, such as he once asked: "There are boundless falling trees, why do falling trees always fall?"

Someone said: "The sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the clear rises, and the turbid falls."

Gao Yushi then asked: "Why must the clean ones rise, and why must the turbid ones fall? What is the reason for this?" No one could answer, but Gao Wushi said with a smile: "This is where we should have a 'standard' carry on."

All in all, the first target that Gu Xiancheng wants to oppose at present must be the "false and exaggerated" Mind School, but he can tolerate the Confucianism and Realism, which also considers itself "a line of Neo Confucianism" like him.

As for when he will become intolerable to the practical studies of the world, it is estimated that he will have to wait until he completes the great cause of "rectifying the source" and completely overthrows the group of heretics of the School of Mind.

Yang Wei is not very interested in these academic controversies, but he "discusses academics to clarify morality, discusses governance to focus on the Six Classics, and discusses current politics to focus on university development." Therefore, his position has always been to listen to whoever is useful. (Note: Do you still remember that shortly after the beginning of this book, there was a plot that read "University Yan Yi Bu" with a high level of pragmatism? This is a book that mainly studies legal thoughts and legal systems. More bluntly, it is a book that seeks practical results .)
From Yang Wei's point of view, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty talked about "government effectiveness", and no one could be more pragmatic.Now that Gao Pragmatic wants to use Gu Xiancheng's knife, he just needs to let the knife do whatever he wants. As for what the knife is thinking, it doesn't matter.

The night of this day was naturally non-stop, Gao Wushi also received several groups of guests at the Shangshu Mansion when he returned to Jinggongfang, and he was so busy that he didn't go to bed until nearly midnight.

Early the next morning, the elders of the cabinet, Yang Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Shen Li, the censor of Zuo Du, joined hands again to ask to see the emperor, and Zhu Yijun still summoned him in the Wenhua Palace.

Shortly after the meeting, the holy will was sent to all ministries, and the northern inspection of Dinghai Jingcha will start tomorrow, and the southern inspection will begin half a month later.The chief official of the Northern Procuratorate is Yang Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the chief official of the Southern Procuratorate is Hai Rui, the right capital censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. (Note: 1. The Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate does not have a Zuodu censor, but the Youdu censor is respected; 2. Hai Rui is not dead yet, and is still in office.)
This is another big event - not that there is anything unusual about Yang Wei presiding over the Northern Inspection, but that the matter of the Southern Inspection was left to Hai Rui. This... this shit might scare a few people to death.

Hai Rui doesn't need to be introduced originally, but Hai Rui's official career in this book is somewhat different from the original history, so I have to explain it here.

Needless to say, what happened earlier in the original history, Zhang Juzheng presided over the state affairs in the first year of Wanli, because he was Xu Jie's disciple, and Hai Rui followed Gao Gong's intention to clear Zhang Tianmu in Yingtian at that time, and made Xu Jie ashamed On the surface, even Zhang Juzheng didn't like Hai Rui, so Zhang Juzheng ordered the patrol censor to investigate Hai Rui.

As a result, Yu Shi went there in person, Hai Rui killed chickens and cooked dishes to entertain Yu Shi, the house was extremely deserted and shabby, Yu Shi ate a meal and left with a sigh.But Zhang Juzheng himself was not very clean, and he was always afraid of Hai Rui's sternness and uprightness, so even though Chinese and foreign officials recommended him many times, he was not appointed in the end.

Hai Rui in this life is different, he was originally transferred by Gao Gong to Governor's Warehouse, he worked there for several years, and arrested many corrupt officials.However, Gao Gong promoted him to the third rank of essay official and two ranks, but he just refused to be promoted—this was obviously due to political influence. , still need to be cautious.

When Guo Pu came to power, he didn't move Hai Rui too much, but gave him a new post, asking him to inspect the South Zhili port - this is a high-practice requirement, because high-practice does not evade taxes, and he is not afraid of investigation.

As a result, Hai Rui censored other private ports, which indirectly led to Liu Shouyou's incident against Gao Yushi - it would definitely be useless to target Hai Rui, so Liu Shouyou and the others decided to directly target Gao Yushi. And put myself in it.

After this incident, Hai Rui was "inexplicably" promoted to an official position and became the head of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate—the Southern Court Youdu Yushi.

Now that the emperor sacrificed Hai Rui's killer weapon, it was obvious that he had understood the high-practical advice that day.

Wang Xijue, Mr. Wang, you Nanbang officials insist on quarreling with me about this "country" right?
Let's go, let's wait until you pass Hai Qingtian's level first! ——
