Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 593
In the Ming Dynasty, Gao Pragmatism was not the one who was promoted the fastest. In history, during the reign of Chongzhen, Wei Zaode became an official with the number one scholar, entered the cabinet in two years, and became the chief assistant in the fourth year. It was not Gao Yushi's turn to be the fastest, but Yan Song, who was directly demoted from the first assistant to a commoner.Even Xia Yan can't be counted, he was in office before the first month, and he was executed in October.

However, the day before yesterday, he was promoted two levels in a row, and the next day he was demoted three levels in a row, and he went up and down in three days. This record may be set by Gao Pragmatism.

The high-practical demotion decree came out together with the emperor's imperial edict, which was drafted by Guo Pu himself for the emperor and then issued after being polished by the edict.Judging from the words alone, the emperor actually didn't make any big mistakes. It was nothing more than hearing that his companion had returned to Beijing for the exam, so he remembered his old love and went out of the palace to meet him.

It is not that the emperor himself cannot go out of the palace. It is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to formulate such a rule. The main reason is that he did not say hello to the cabinet or any yamen when he went out of the palace this time. tradition since.

Not only the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang are called the ancestral system, but the rules set by the ancestors are all called the ancestral system for Zhu Yijun, so violating this tradition is also a violation of the ancestral system.

But in any case, it seems that the plot is not particularly serious. Compared with what Wuzong and Sejong did, Zhu Yijun's little mistake is really not worth mentioning.

It's just that compared to his father, Huang Longqing, this mistake is a bit big.After all, after Long Qing ascended the throne, he once wanted to go back to Yu Mansion to cherish the old days, but he only mentioned a word, and was reprimanded by the cabinet. This kind of emperor is a good emperor in the eyes of civil servants.

Therefore, regarding Zhu Yijun's sin against himself, most of the civil servants in the outer court were very calm, because the real situation of this matter, after Guo Pu rushed to the Palace of Compassion, he immediately persuaded Queen Mother Li to block it, so the outer court's overwhelming Most of the civil officials didn't know the inside story. They thought it was Guo Pu who maintained the dignity of the civil official group. After discovering this incident, they asked the empress dowagers of the two palaces to come forward, forcing the emperor to issue an imperial edict. Many officials even secretly Applause.

Of course, there are also some officials who are "concerned about the country and the people" because of this, and persuade the emperor to learn from his lessons and move further towards the path of the sage...

Well, these are stunned youths and fringe people who do not have a solid background and cannot get guidance from high-level officials. Officials who really have a background and guidance have collectively remained silent this time.Regardless of whether it is the Real Learning Party or the Mind Learning Party, they all pretend to be ostriches, and no one comes out to comment.

Many people's attention is instead focused on another imperial decree. This imperial decree is closely related to the emperor's sinful edict, because the imperial decree says: "Following Yi's decree, the Zhan Shifu Zuochunfang Zuoyu The Dehanlin Academy edited Gao Yushi as the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and gave lectures on scriptures and feasts."

Following this imperial decree, Gao Wushi created a record. He had just been promoted to Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude, and before he officially reported to Zhan Shifu, Zuo Yude was dismissed.

By the way, the Hanlin Academy's compilations, as well as the lectures on Jingyan Day, were also dropped.In less than three days, he was promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, and then from the fifth rank to the seventh rank, and changed from a Hanlin historian to a Fengxian official, which is really rare.

When the news reached the Hanlin Academy, there was an uproar among the Hanlin Academy.Especially the Hanlin who were promoted to a higher level because of their meritorious service in compiling the canon, complained about the high pragmatism.

Some said that "it was suffered on behalf of the emperor", some said "no disaster", and some even said "treat Xue with injustice". In short, they all felt that Gao Yushi was wronged.What failed to persuade the emperor, that is completely nonsense - the emperor took the initiative to find him, he was a commoner at the time, could he scold the emperor back?

Everyone is an official, who doesn't know that this kind of thing is changed because they are in a high-level and pragmatic position, and it must be too late to curry favor, how could it be possible to catch up with the emperor?

However, since the emperor himself has issued an imperial edict, and the imperial edict also said that it is "Feng Yi's edict", there is no other way.The empress dowagers of the two palaces usually do not interfere in politics, so this edict must be mainly aimed at the emperor, and the high-level pragmatism was purely injured by stray bullets.

Chen Jingbang, who was newly appointed as an attendant of the Hanlin Academy, was also very helpless. He actually wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Gao Yu being in the Imperial Academy to get close to him.

He also had no choice but to comfort Gao Yushi, saying that although the supervisory censor is only a seventh-rank official, he has a heavy responsibility as an officer of the constitution, and those who are not well-known cannot bear it. Since you have been transferred, at least it means that the cabinet still recognizes your reputation and talent Yes—he knew that the two palaces would at most instruct Gao Pragmatism to "downgrade three levels in a row", and it was impossible to personally arrange for him to be demoted to a position, so this arrangement must have come from the cabinet.

Gao Wushi was very calm, he received the news on the night of the incident, and knew that he had indeed suffered an innocent disaster this time, and there was a certain meaning of "suffering on behalf of the emperor", so he was not troubled.

There is nothing wrong with acting on behalf of the emperor, because as long as the emperor has a little humanity, he will make up for it sooner or later.

Is Zhu Yijun humane?Looking at it now, it is obvious that there are, at least for him to be pragmatic.

That being the case, don't panic.

His only confusion now is why he was appointed as the supervisory censor?

It stands to reason that since the Empress Dowager Li wants to demote him three ranks in a row and asks to be transferred out of the capital as soon as possible, the most convenient way to deal with it is to "demote the foreign post", and the most common way for Beijing officials to demote the foreign post is to be a seventh-rank official. It is demoted to a certain place to be a government official or county magistrate.

Gao Yushi is not very interested in being an official in a certain government, but Gao Yushi is actually quite happy to be a county magistrate, because he thinks it can exercise his ability to work at the grassroots level in this era.

It's a pity that the cabinet—or the teacher and the uncle seem to have other arrangements.

However, Gao Wushi made a mistake this time. This matter has nothing to do with Zhang Siwei. In fact, it was Guo Pu's decision on the night of the incident.

For this matter and the follow-up arrangements, he even personally went to the residence of Wang Guoguang, Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to have a heart-to-heart discussion that night. The two discussed carefully for a long time before making a decision.

Gao Yushi didn't know this, and he always felt that there might be some procedural problems in his transfer to the supervisory censor.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ming Dynasty had much more power than any previous generation.The censor of the capital specializes in correcting and impeaching hundreds of divisions, arguing wrongdoing, admirals and superintendences, and is the division of the emperor's ears, eyes and discipline.

All ministers who are treacherous and evil, villains who form a party, who are powerful and disrupt the government, are to be impeached; all officials who are corrupt and corrupt official discipline are to be impeached;

In the event of a visit or inspection, the senior officials of the Ministry of Officials will be dismissed; the heavy prisoners of the prison will be sent to the foreign court, and the Ministry of Punishment and Dali will be flattened;

The other government offices are divided into thirteen supervisory censors, so the power of supervisory censors is far more important than that of previous dynasties.

In the interior, the two capitals read the papers, inspected the Beijing camp, Jianlin Township, examinations and martial arts, inspected Guanglu, inspected the warehouse, inspected the inner library, the imperial city, the five cities, and the Dengwengu in rotation.

Outside, they inspected places, inspected salt, tea and horses, inspected Cao, inspected customs, Yanyun, Yinma, and Tuntian.

When traveling with the army, the military discipline will be supervised, and each will be supervised according to his own affairs.

In particular, the inspection tour is a hunting tour on behalf of the emperor. The ministers of the vassal state and the county officials of the prefectures and prefectures under the inspections are inspected.According to the approach, the prisoner must first be interrogated and recorded, and the case files must be hung up, and those who have entered or exited for a reason will be justified.

Because of the weight of the censor, the selection of the award is also very cautious.Since the eighth year of Yongle, it has been stipulated that the censor must be selected from Jinshi and supervisors who are knowledgeable and proficient in governance.

In the tenth year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong issued a special order to the Metropolitan Procuratorate: "The imperial court set up a wind constitution, so it pays attention to the sending of ears and eyes, and the task of strict discipline... Order the Ministry of Officials: From now on, novices are not allowed to remove the wind constitution. All supervisors and censors have If there is a shortage, the court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and all the officials of the Taoist government must recommend that they must issue a certificate for implementation, transfer it to the Ministry of Officials, examine it, and then remove it. Then there are stolen goods and incompetence, and those who propose it are the same crime.”

In other words, until the Wanli Dynasty, not only Jinshi could be the supervisory censor, but also Xinke Jinshi could not be used as a supervisor. Certain "work experience" was required.Any supervisory censor who is deficient must be recommended by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and reported to the Ministry of Officials for review. If the censor is corrupt and perverts the law or is incompetent in the future, the person who recommends him will be guilty of the same crime.

The current censor of Zuodu is Wang Guoguang, and the secretary of the official department is Guo Pu. The two of them are willing to recommend and approve Gao Yushi to be transferred to the supervisory censor. Didn't the censor violate the ancestral system?
Gao Yushi bid farewell to everyone in the Imperial Academy, said some high-ranking remarks, in fact, it was nothing more than expressing the meaning of "I am a brick of Ming Dynasty, and I can move it wherever I need it", and then told Xiao Liangyou and Wang Tingzhuan alone. Fan, so that they don't have to worry about themselves.

Xiao Liangyou just nodded steadily, and Wang Tingzhuan said with a smile: "What do we have to worry about? Although Qiuzhen has suffered some losses this time, I think that if you go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you may be punished instead. Useful."

"If you make a mistake and get demoted, how dare you hope for any great use?" Gao Wushi smiled and waved his hands: "Speaking of which, I'd rather go to another county. At least I can do some practical things and live up to the essence of my practical learning."

Wang Tingzhuan smiled and said: "You can do practical things as a county magistrate, but can't you do practical things as a censor? I don't agree with the truth. I guess you must have the opportunity to do practical things this time."

Gao Wushi shook his head, didn't bother to argue, waved his hands and said goodbye: "Goodbye, two young brothers."

Xiao Liangyou laughed and scolded: "They are all in the capital, so it sounds like they are going to be separated by thousands of miles. Do you want us to get you a table of farewell wine?"

Wang Tingzhuan stretched out his hand to stop him, saying: "Brother Yizhan, don't say such things, I suspect that you might become a crow's mouth."

Xiao Liangyou was slightly taken aback, and then said in surprise: "What does Jingqing mean, Qiuzhen has just entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate and will be dispatched from abroad? This...isn't it?"

Wang Tingzhuan shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say!"

Gao Wushi laughed and scolded: "Pretending to be a ghost, I don't know what to say."

After all, he was reminded by Wang Tingzhuan, thinking: Wang Tingzhuan's guess is probably correct, the queen mother wants to transfer me out of Beijing, but in the end I just downgraded the supervisory censor. But he is still in the capital, so he can only leave the capital by quickly sending himself a "foreigner".

I don't know what it will be...
