Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 799 Zhang Siwei Impeached
The king of heaven and earth, relatives and teachers, kisses before teachers, but in a normal sense, this kiss defaults to parents.

Therefore, after Gao Yushi returned to Beijing, it was no problem to accept the emperor's summons first, and then to accept the teacher's summons.

Next, I have to go to see my uncle Zhang Siwei.No one has a hard and fast rule on this order, but generally speaking, it must be followed.

Zhang Siwei's mansion is in an excellent location, just to the west of Nantaiye Lake and southeast of Taipu Temple. From the small building of his house, you can see the Zhong (South) Sea that all officials of the Red Dynasty yearn for.

Of course, that place is not mysterious to Gao Yushi in this life. He has accompanied Zhu Yijun to visit it no less than twenty times. From the very beginning he was very excited, but later he got used to it, and now he has lost much interest.

In terms of interest, he is more interested in Kunming Lake. After all, seeing that the expansion of Xinzhai Bieyuan is getting bigger and bigger, it is now close to Kunming Lake, but he still has a heart for building a Summer Palace. Firstly, it will cost a lot of money, and secondly, I don’t know if there will be some bad luck here...

Of course, he does not believe in evil in general, otherwise he would not have created the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet.It’s just that the Summer Palace used to cost 3000 million taels of silver. Although there are inflationary factors, it’s difficult to estimate if you want to build an identical Summer Palace without a base of 800 to [-] million taels.

Forget it, what can I do wrong with seven or eight million taels?
Sixty or seventy of the second-tier cruisers in the new plan can be built!With that strength, I'm afraid I can beat the combined Spanish-Portuguese fleet that can be sent to East Asia. Is there any need to cautiously reach out to Southeast Asia?
It only cost more than 20 taels to build a replica of Fontainebleau Palace with such complicated decorations. The Summer Palace is too exaggerated. Let’s talk about being an emperor in the next life. It’s too painful to spend my own money on this. .

When they came to Zhang Siwei's house, Zhang Siwei's servants were naturally very affectionate, and they were respectful and eager, as if seeing their young master.

However, my young master Zhang Taizheng is really in the Zhang Mansion—in fact, it is not easy to call him a young master, because he has already won the Jinshi and is studying in the library as a good scholar.

For Zhang Taizheng, although Gao Yushi was his cousin, he was also the leader of the same year, so he went to the gate and opened the middle gate to greet him.

This middle door was not opened for his cousin, but for the champion. Gao Pragmatism did not dare to accept it, but in the end his cousin Zhang Taizheng grabbed his arm and forced him in.

However, as soon as he entered the door, Zhang Taizheng waved his hands to send the servants away, and then whispered to Gao Yushi: "Qiuzhen, you came just in time. My father was impeached just now, and I feel angry. I can't persuade you, I'm afraid I have to borrow your face to help."

Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What's going on? I didn't hear that Uncle was impeached the day I came back."

Of course, the emperor brought all the officials out of Yongdingmen to meet Gao Wushi in person that day. He also saw Zhang Siwei standing next to Guo Pu with a happy face. If he was impeached, how could he appear?As usual, he should shut himself up at home to show his innocence.

It's a good thing that I didn't come here today until the evening when the cabinet minister was on duty. My co-author uncle was at home all day.

"Do you know Cao Yikui, the supervisory censor?" Zhang Taizheng pouted, and said, "I don't know who ordered this guy to impeach his father, saying that he promoted his cousin Wang Qian in violation of regulations—the son of Duke Jianchuan."

Of course, Gao Yushi knew Wang Qian, this is a business partner, and their Wang family followed him into the private military industry. They have the best cold weapon factory and one of the best armor factories in Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing is that the iron used by his family to build weapons is purchased from Kaiping.

"Cao Yikui?" Gao Wushi thought for a while, and said, "This person's name is Zishao, his name is Shuanghua, he is from Wugang, and he was a Jinshi in the second year of Wanli. I heard that he has a good relationship with Zhang Wenxiang's high-legged student, Wang Zhuan."

Mr. Zhang Wenxiang was referring to Zhang Juzheng. Wenxiang was originally the posthumous title of Gao Gong in the original history. This life was suggested to Zhang Juzheng by Gao Yushi to Zhu Yijun.At that time, Zhu Yijun was still a little unhappy, because Wen Xiang was also a beautiful posthumous posthumous person, and Zhang Juzheng had a bad impression on Zhu Yijun when he was overthrown by Gao Yushi.

However, Gao Yu persuaded Zhu Yijun with the death of Gao Gong, because Gao Gong passed away suddenly after hearing the news of Zhang Juzheng's death in depression. It can be seen that he still admired Zhang Juzheng until then, so...

So Zhu Yijun agreed, as a way to save face for Gao Gong.

Wang Zhuan was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing and a student of Zhang Juzheng.After Zhang Juzheng's downfall, he was demoted to a foreign post, but after so many years, this person actually returned to the capital, and now he is the Shaoqing of Taipusi, a fourth-rank official.

Zhang Taizheng said: "It's unexpected that you understand such a person. It's amazing... But you may not know that now, no matter whether it is Cao Yikui or Wang Zhuan, they have already worshiped under the old sect of Shen Ge."

Gao Wushi's heart moved: "Brother, do you mean that this matter was instigated by Elder Shen Ge?"

"Instigate or not, it's hard to say, but..." Zhang Taizheng curled his lips slightly: "Acquiescence, I don't think I can escape."

Gao Wushi didn't reply immediately, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Why did Mr. Shen Ge do this? I don't think my uncle would do it himself if he wanted to promote Wang Qian, would he?"

Zhang Taizheng waved his hand and said: "How can there be any promotion? Uncle Biao was originally the head of the Ministry of Industry. He passed the exam and was transferred to the head of the Ministry of Officials. How did he get promoted? Besides, the Wang family now has Wang's Ordnance Factory. Appropriate, and now that the exam is full of excellent grades, wouldn't it be normal to be transferred to the Ministry of Officials?"

Gao Wushi frowned and said, "Then why did Cao Yikui say uncle violated the rules?"

"Cut, isn't it because my cousin was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli, and he was the head of the Ministry of Industry after the museum was dismissed. Now he is transferred to the Ministry of Officials after completing the three-year examination? But the reason has already been said, he is not suitable for the Ministry of Industry. Now, even though it’s only been three years, but it’s still possible to transfer, and there’s no promotion, how can it be against the regulations?”

Gao Wushi understands that Zhang Siwei is stuck in the most convenient way to do it. From the perspective of the system alone, there is indeed no problem, but this is similar to the extraordinary promotion of later generations-the person who is promoted may meet the extraordinary promotion standards Yes, but those who are interested can still say: Why can you be promoted in an exceptional way? You are not the only one who meets the standards for exceptional promotion.

Gao Wushi smiled, and said: "It's just such a small matter, why don't uncle get bored, I'll just go and persuade him, brother, don't worry, it's a trivial matter."
