Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 596 See you, Guangxi tour press

Back home that day, Gao Yushi stayed alone in the small building and pondered for a long time. He was not only worried about the situation of the Gao Party in the next few years, but also worried about the continuity of the New Deal.

He knew Shen Shixing well. After all, Shen Ge was a lecturer for Zhu Yijun at the beginning, which was equivalent to teaching him for several years.Shen Shixing must be a typical style of mind learning in politics. Although he has a soft personality and is more keen on balancing, once he becomes the chief assistant, it will definitely be equivalent to stepping on the brakes for the advancement of the New Deal. , will inevitably encounter greater resistance.

But this problem, he can't solve it now!

Guo Pu is not his servant, but his teacher. This teacher has abided by the law all his life. He feels that since the Ming Dynasty officials' [-]-year-old rule exists, unless there is a catastrophe, they should be followed.Gao Wushi knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to give up.

And uncle Zhang Siwei... who can guarantee things like his body?I can only ask God to bless me.

Gao Wushi thought about it for a long time, but finally he could only let out a long sigh.

Forget it, it's going to rain and my mother is going to get married, there's only so much I can do now, since I can't solve it, I can only leave it for the next day, let's think about what I can do in Guangxi next.

Although the rank of the censor is low, the power is huge. After arriving in Guangxi, with his family background and the status of the top six scholars, he can be much tougher than in the capital. Maybe he can rectify the officialdom?
But these are all things that have no shadow. I only know that Guangxi is very chaotic now, but what kind of chaos is it and why is it chaotic. I am still at a loss and have no idea. Verify.

In the early morning of the next day, under the leadership of Wang Guoguang, Gao Wushi went to the palace with another supervisory censor, and His Majesty met the emperor.

Zhu Yijun's complexion was not very good, but the selection was very fast - after Wang Guoguang introduced the two Guangxi patrol candidates, Zhu Yijun directly chose Gao Yushi, and refused to say a word.

Gao Yushi felt the anger in his heart. Of course, this anger was not directed at Gao Yushi. It was an anger caused by power being suppressed and dignity being ignored.

Historically, he was also forced by his mother, Empress Dowager Li, to issue a criminal edict this year, and the crime was even more ridiculous than this time.

That time, he drank some wine and ordered a young eunuch beside him to sing a new song, but the little eunuch refused. Zhu Yijun took advantage of the wine and got angry and said that he would cut off the little eunuch's head.Of course the people around him persuaded him, so he said to keep his head and cut off a bunch of hair as punishment.

As a result, the Empress Dowager Li soon found out about this matter. She was furious and ordered Zhu Yijun to kneel down, while threatening him to make King Lu the new king.

Zhu Yijun cried bitterly and knelt outside the Palace of Compassion and Prayer for his mother's forgiveness. The Empress Dowager Li sent someone to ask Zhang Juzheng to come over and teach Zhu Yijun face to face. already.

Gao Yushi smiled wryly in his heart. It seems that Zhu Yijun had to go through the ordeal of committing crimes in the eighth year of Wanli. Relatively speaking, this time is a bit normal, at least not because of a small eunuch's hair. Edict...

It's just that Zhu Yijun's guilt incident this time made him unlucky -- of course, it's hard to say whether it's unlucky this time.

On the one hand, Gao Yushi’s most likely promotion route was cut off: first he was a historian in the Imperial Academy, then he went to Japan to give lectures on officials, and his seniority was upgraded. The court affairs, and then enter a certain department of ministers (most likely the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials), and then either enter the cabinet directly as a minister, or enter the cabinet as a minister for another two years.

This path is the most noble route for entering the cabinet, especially the most common route for the champions. For example, Li Chunfang, the champion in the 26th year of Jiajing, took this route to enter the cabinet.

To put it simply, this route is relaxed and comfortable, but also extremely expensive, and is most envied by the world.

But now this route has been cut off and changed to another route, which is the foreign official route. This route is too complicated to explain in detail, but if it is more concise, it is nothing more than making various achievements in the local area. Then he was transferred back to the capital as a servant, then ministered to the book, and then entered the cabinet...

Compared with the first route, this route is both laborious and dangerous. If you take any wrong step, you may fall into the sand halfway, and you may not even be safe when you reach the triumphant return to Beijing——Ling Yunyi will not be able to return to Beijing this year. Just planted at that step?

Another problem is that I went too far south this time, so I went to Guangxi. This is not like going back to my hometown in Xinzheng, and it only takes ten days and a half months at most.After going to Guangxi, the main industries in the capital will be in a state of no backbone, and I don't know if there will be problems.

Obviously, Zhu Yijun didn't know that Gao Yushi was thinking about so many questions. He just felt that after Wang Guoguang took the other censor away, Gao Yushi seemed to be distracted.

This made Zhu Yijun a little embarrassed. He thought that Gao Yushi was unprepared for the "demotion of foreign posts", so he was a little at a loss.However, the root cause of this incident lies in him, the emperor, and Gao Yushi just suffered on his behalf.

"Pragmatism, I've wronged you this time." At this moment, there are no outsiders in the Xinuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, only Zhu Yijun, Chen Ju, and Gao Yushi. Chen Ju is his confidant, so he doesn't need to hide anything from him, so Zhu Yijun walked down directly. Leaving the throne, came to Gao Wushi's side.

Gao Wushi knew that Zhu Yijun was the most depressed person at this time, so he comforted him half-jokingly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this subject. I heard that the inspector censor is very powerful now. Your Excellency It was ten years ago that I served as an imperial envoy for the first time, and this time I have the opportunity to experience the majesty of an imperial envoy again, and I am actually very happy."

This is what he, a classmate who has been studying with the emperor for ten years, dares to say...

Sure enough, when Zhu Yijun heard what he said, he couldn't help but chuckled, shook his head, and said seriously: "Pragmatically, although the authority of the inspector censor is great, but also the responsibility, you must not ignore it. And now Guangxi is in chaos. Very well, although Yin Zhengmao and Ling Yunyi played two big victories one after the other, and Liu Yaohui also had a big victory not long ago, but I don't know why, the Tonglu rebellion was like a gourd vine pressed into the water. Press this gourd, and then float that gourd, and you don’t know when it will end.”

Gao Wushi nodded, and said: "After I arrive in Guangxi, I will investigate carefully to see where the root of this problem is. If possible, it is best to try to solve it."

"I knew you would think so, this is your consistent thinking." Zhu Yijun shook his head while talking: "I think that whether it is Yin Zhengmao or Ling Yunyi, not to mention the character and official reputation, at least they are not mediocre. , the reason why they didn't implement the 'radical cure' method, I think there must be no reason. After you arrive in Guangxi, no matter whether you have discovered the root cause you mentioned, don't do it lightly, first go to the doctor's office and let me know , otherwise even if I agree with you, I don’t know how to cooperate with you, understand?”

These words were really sincere, Gao Wushi stopped laughing, and saluted and thanked him solemnly.

Zhu Yijun nodded, sighed again, and said: "I only found out about the arrangement of the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for you yesterday. Speaking of which, I am also very conflicted. One year is not enough time to clarify the source of the chaos in Guangxi, alas... your errand is not easy to handle. If it really doesn't work, you can follow Liu Yao and tell them to share some military merits, and wait for Yao'e and Yao's marriage to be completed , I will find a reason to transfer you back to Beijing when the time comes."

When it comes to the marriage of the third princess and the fourth princess, Zhu Yijun's mood is obviously a little depressed.

However, Zhu Yijun's words were obviously out of good intentions. Many years ago, he regarded Gao Yushi as his future minister of the prime minister.In his opinion, the minister of the prime minister should naturally stay by his side, so he would rather Gao Wuyu spend a year honestly outside, and then he can find some reason to transfer back to the capital, and he does not want Gao Wuyu to be in the capital. What troubles are caused outside - although he believes in Gao's practical ability, he is afraid that if something happens to him that makes him unable to escape, it will be troubles!

All in all, Zhu Yijun has the same opinion as those officials of the Imperial Academy, they all think that staying with the emperor is the most important thing - in Daming at this moment, even if you are just a daily lecturer explaining a paragraph of text to the emperor every day, it is better than being outside. Being a governor is more compelling.

This is because, if the officials are doing well in Japan, they may join the cabinet tomorrow, but if the governors of other provinces want to join the cabinet, there will be at least two steps in the middle.

But now Gao Wuzhen is a little bit full of ambitions—thinking of how hard he worked so hard back then, he didn’t become mayor until he was in his thirties, and he was just a department-level cadre. The secretary of a provincial j committee is still mighty!
With such good conditions, if you don’t hurry up and do some business, can you live up to the old saying “Once the power is in your hands, you will follow the orders”?Therefore, it is not in his consideration to follow the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Liu Yaohui and others to mix up military merits. It is not that military merits are not necessary, but that he cannot rely on confusion.

If I want military merit, I have to get it in an upright manner!

Although it's still a matter of whether I can command the war by myself, but at least do a good job in logistical supervision.

It seems that Guangxi fought a war a few years ago, and the annual expenditure was only 30 million taels of silver. If I really can’t do it, I have to make some good military exploits to break the family and serve the country... The uncle is rich, but he is so willful, what’s wrong?
Hey, wait, since there are wars everywhere in Guangxi, shouldn't I bring some servants there?But don't be beaten to death by rioters on the way to take office, then there will be no place to complain.

But I am an inspector, not a governor. If I bring a large group of armed servants, will I be impeached?After all, theoretically, he is only responsible for supervising the army, not leading the army.

Zhu Yijun saw that he was frowning and his expression was different, so he couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking about, if you have any difficulties, you can quickly mention them."

Gao Wushi was delighted when he heard it. Since the emperor is so upright, then I will not be polite.

Immediately said: "I am thinking, since the territory of Guangxi is not peaceful, can I take some family members on the road?"

Zhu Yijun thought for a while, and said: "The governor has a superintendent bid, and the governor has a care bid. Their servants are paid by the court, but you are an inspector, so there is no such precedent..."

Gao Yushi immediately said: "It's okay, I don't need the court to pay."

"I know you are rich!" Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes: "Then you can take care of it yourself, but don't make too much, in case someone participates in the impeachment, the size is also a trouble."

Gao Yushi was overjoyed, and hurriedly cupped his hands: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."
