Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 805 The Real "Wanli Era" Is Coming

Regarding the contingency thinking of the right-wing Mongolian side, Gao Yushi had some plans before. Simply put, he took advantage of the timing of Alda's death to push Han Naji to the throne, replacing Xin Ai as the Great Khan, and then persuaded the third lady to marry At the same time, Han Naji and Xin Ai's department were transferred to Butashri, the son of the third lady.

He told Zhu Yijun this way of thinking, Zhu Yijun didn't agree immediately after hearing this, but frowned and said: "I know that the marriage rules of the Mongolians are not in accordance with etiquette, but Zhong Jinhatun should be counted as Han Naji's grandmother's generation." , is this... okay?"

Gao Wushi explained: "Since the emperor knows that the Mongols don't practice ethics, why should he care about these things? As long as the Mongols are not blood relatives, it doesn't matter if the Mongols are from the generation of grandmothers or great-grandmothers. For me, Ming, there is no need to care about the relationship between them. How to determine the title, as long as Tumed is still obedient."

Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked, "Then, will Han Naji and Zhong Jinhatun be willing to each other?"

"If your majesty is not at ease, I can think of a way to deal with this matter. Let's not contact them through the court or border ministers, and let Jinghua secretly mention this matter to them, so that we can test their minds and not lose room for change." .”

"That's not bad." Zhu Yijun nodded in approval.

In fact, a large part of the reason why he hesitated was because he was worried that he would mess up the mandarin ducks, and then make Han Naji and Zhong Jinhatun dissatisfied, which turned out to be a bad thing.Since Gao Wushi took over this matter, it is equivalent to conducting a trial in his private capacity, which can leave the court out, lest the court will be irreversible once it opens its mouth.

In today's novel, apart from the lecturer Gao Yushi, there is only Shen Li as the lecturer and reader. His duty is mainly to record, and he has not spoken all the time.

However, Gao Yushi is not worried about him revealing the secret, because Shen Li and him are not only "partners", but also "fellows".

Shen Li is from Yucheng County, Guide Prefecture, Henan Province. In this era, He Gao is a serious township party member. In addition, he was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing. .

Shen Li was famous for his opposition to Shen Yiguan in history, and this also left him a good name through the ages. After his death, Zhu Yijun wrote four sacrificial articles for him in his own hand, calling it the "The righteousness of the universe, and the Yiluozhen Confucianism".

In the original history, Gao Gong was not only his chief examiner, but also his fellow countryman. He refused to pay a private visit to Gao Gong, so that Gao Gong ignored him as a person who was trying to get fame, and planned to sharpen his skills first. mind.This life is different, because Gao Wushi knows Shen Li's character and his future, so he has always made friends with him, and slowly pulled him into the core circle of the former Gao Party.

Therefore, to a large extent, Shen Li's appearance in the Gaodang was actually due to Gao's pragmatism, which made him pay more attention to Gao's pragmatism than the entire Gaodang.

For such a person, of course Gao Yushi is not worried that he will reveal the secret.

For the time being, the matter of the Mongolian response will be here first. Next, Gao Wushi wrote a letter to recall Cao Gan, who was in Chengdu and was trying to find a way to open up the southwest trade route, and asked him to personally implement this matter.

Cao Gan's status in the Jinghua Group is quite high, and he is No. 1 among the family members who have not changed their surnames. What is especially special is that, unlike the maritime trade and maritime forces that are divided into private ports and the current North and South Ocean Fleets, Jinghua's land route " "Foreign trade" was centrally controlled by Jinghua Trading Company, and Cao Gan has been in charge of Jinghua Trading Company from the beginning to the end, and it has been more than ten years.

This kind of qualifications is comparable to only Gao Mo and Gao Rui (Gao Xiaozhuang) in the entire Jinghua "Family Department".

But relatively speaking, Gaomo is considered to be the center of Jinghua, responsible for the surveillance system of the entire Jinghua and high-level personal security; Therefore, Cao Gan's position in the trade port is particularly unique.

However, after Cao Gan received the letter in Chengdu, he set off for the capital on the same day without saying a word or even staying overnight.

In fact, in Cao Gan's view, this matter was proposed by himself. If he hadn't reported it to the master last time, maybe the master still didn't know that there were signs of disintegration in Tumote.Therefore, in his opinion, the master called him back to Beijing to preside over this matter.

Of course, there is another personal reason for him to return to Beijing in a hurry: his son Cao Ke is back. It is said that the master is quite satisfied with him and has arranged for him an identity. As a member, if you perform well, you will take the Shuntian Township Examination next year.

In fact, the status of family servant has various advantages. Simply put, it is to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, but there is also a trouble, that is, it is generally not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.If you want to take part in the imperial examination, the master must first agree, that's for sure, but there are many troublesome procedures to go through.

Well, in fact, generally speaking, the main family disagrees. The reason is obvious: if you pass the test of fame, you will be a master. In the future, it will be difficult to say whether the main family can suppress him—in case this guy studies Awesome, not only did he pass the exam as a scholar, but what if he passed the exam for Juren?Even in the unlikely event that someone passed the Jinshi examination and became a master himself, then the lord still has a ghost's oppressive power?

However, Gao Yushi is obviously an exception. His attitude is that you are allowed to take the exam, so what if you are a Jinshi?Are my six champions just playing around with you?

Even if you become a Jinshi master, and you have a big "高" on your forehead, I owe you a mountain of gratitude, and this will be recognized by everyone in the world—otherwise, would you be able to take the imperial examination?
Therefore, even if Cao Ke passed the Jinshi examination, as long as he made any move that was not good for Gao Yushi, it would be tantamount to suicide—political suicide.

The real awesomeness is not reflected in bullying the weak, but more in training and promotion.

Cao Gan estimated that this journey would take at least half a month, so there is no need to talk about him for the time being.

The next major event in the capital has been focused on Guo Pu.

The Taifu, the Prince Taishi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the scholar of the Zhongji Palace, Guo Pu, asked to retreat for three consecutive days.

The emperor's reply changed from "not allowed", "warm words and consolation, not allowed" to "sincere Yuanfu wholeheartedly assisting, so please not allowed".

But then, Guo Yuanfu asked to see the two palaces.So the two palaces summoned the emperor again that day.

The next day, the emperor ordered the Minister of Rites to deliver an edict, summoned Jiuqing and other important officials, and proposed to add ministers to the cabinet.

This move meant that Guo Pu's retreat was settled, so the emperor was making preparations.

The successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty inherited an ancestral system for selecting officials, called Ting Tui.Any vacancies for senior cadres are not directly determined by the emperor, but firstly negotiated by the senior officials above the third rank and the heads of various ministries, and two or three or more people are recommended by the emperor for appointment.This method has been used throughout the Ariake Dynasty.

Of course, did the emperor do nothing?No, the emperor can circle the list at this time, or not use it.

For example, "in the first month of the third year of Tianqi, the court promoted the cabinet ministers, and the first ones were Sun Shenxing and Sheng Yihong, and none of them were used."

Another example is "in the 26th year of Wanli, Cai Guozhen, Minister of the Ministry of officials, was dismissed, seven people were promoted by the court, Li Dai was the last, and the emperor specially promoted him."

It can be seen that the first recommendation of the ministers is sometimes not the emperor's favorite, and sometimes the emperor doesn't even look down on any of the candidates recommended.Between monarchs and ministers, the difference in employment standards is so great that outsiders are baffled.

However, don't think that the emperor is so magnanimous and kind under any circumstances. If this is the case, then he is really a bit petty and almost cute.In the era of imperial power, the emperor had a power act in parallel with the court push system, called Zhongzhi, that is, the emperor could issue a personal order or edict from the court, bypassing Zhongshu's door (the cabinet in Ming Dynasty) in an abnormal way, and directly The delivery is executed by the company.

Although this time, everyone knows that under this situation, cabinet ministers will be added. In fact, no matter how Jiuqing pushes, the final result is certain: the emperor will definitely choose the one recommended by the chief minister before leaving.Even if the results of Ting Tui are different, the emperor will definitely veto Ting Tui's candidate and directly promote him.

Of course, if the situation gets to this point, the problem will become more serious, which means that the chief minister has lost control over the cabinet and the six ministries.Moreover, cabinet ministers who join the cabinet without being pushed by the court will look ugly-they did not get the court push in time and the court push did not pass, these are two different things.

Still taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, during the Wanli period in history, there were also vacancies for ministers of the Ministry of Officials.However, Wanli was not satisfied with the candidates recommended by the court. After the stalemate, Wanli resolutely issued the central order and personally selected Li Youzi, a fellow villager of Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant at that time.

Unexpectedly, Li did not buy it.

From the emperor's point of view, this 26-year Jinshi in Jiajing has hardly made any progress in the position of servant, and he is sure to be unable to resist the seal of the heavenly official that fell from the sky.

However, Li said bluntly in the memorandum: the court push is an example of the ancestors, and the sages are expected.Today, the emperor ignores the opinions of all the people and appoints low-ranking ministers according to the imperial edict, which is actually annoyed with all the ministers, not the actions of the sage.

Li's attitude here is very clear, he will not accept the official title conferred by Zhongzhi.

It can be seen that if there is a stalemate between the courts and pushes, the problem is very serious.

Old Shen Ge is obviously not a strong old man who is so strong that he can stand up to the emperor and the chief assistant in person. His performance on Tingtui perfectly reflects his style. As soon as Guo Pu proposed that Pan Sheng join the cabinet, he immediately agreed.

It is obviously impossible for Zhang Siwei to object. Xu Guo and Yu Youding are also not second-rate, and they both agree.

The cabinet unanimously approved the proposal of the chief assistant, and the chief officials of the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Imperial Academy were not stupid, and all agreed.

So the court push was successfully completed, and everything was under control, but the emperor was not in a high mood, and left silently after completing the court push.

Gao Yushi is a unique lecturer, often asked by the emperor to follow him by name, and today is no exception.

After the court push was over, Zhu Yijun rarely chose not to take a sedan chair, but walked slowly back to Qianqing Palace on foot. After a long silence on the road, he suddenly said to Gao Yushi: "Be pragmatic, after Yuanfu left, the three Gu Mingfu The minister is no longer by my side..."

It's hard for Gao Yushi to judge whether Zhu Yijun's mood is sighing, relief, or both when he said this sentence, but is there more sighing or relief?
He could only comfort him and said: "Yuanfu has completed what the late emperor entrusted to him, and he has retired. Your majesty, next year will be the tenth year of Wanli, and that will be the real Wanli era. Your majesty, you and my ministers, can you If you live up to the entrustment of the late emperor, from now on, you will see the real chapter."
-
There was a sudden change last night, insomnia and a cold, and today I probably have a little fever, and my brain hurts. It's hard to say whether it can be completed according to the amount.Thanks to the book friend "Silly Girl Mom" ​​for the monthly ticket support, thank you!
