The biggest news at the beginning of the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty must be the rise and fall of the high arch. He not only re-entered the cabinet and became a scholar of Wuyingdian University, but also served as the official secretary known as the "Heavenly Official" under the instruction and insistence of the emperor. All of a sudden, the Gaofu suddenly turned from a crowded scene in the past two years, crowding the Gaofu, which was already a little small and sloppy, all day long.

And the government and the opposition, especially the officials of the Kedao who stood on the side of Xu Jie, in the previous inverted arch turmoil, were even more panicked, and they didn't know when the sword of revenge of the high arch would fall. But Gao Gong accepted Gao pragmatic persuasion, and instead sent his protégé and former officials to let out the wind, saying, "Xu Jie was kind to me in the past, but although there were some differences in politics later, there were some discords, but it was already in the past, and in the future, I should work together with my colleagues to work together to do national affairs" Yunyun, finally I didn't scare a few more to death.

And after Gao Pragmatic accompanied him to the palace last time, there were not too many major events worth mentioning, but he was only studying at home. It wasn't until the twenty-fifth day of the first month of the fourth year of Longqing that a person's visit changed his life a little.

The visitor's surname is Zhang, the name is Siwei, the word Ziwei, the number Fengpan, Puzhou Fengling Township, was originally Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude and Hanlin Academy, recently after Gao Gong Zhangquan, he was immediately promoted to Hanlin Bachelor and promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, to participate in the government.

This promotion actually caused some controversy in the DPRK and China.

It is said that Zhang Siwei's qualifications are not bad: this person was born different, fifteen years old, ranked excellent, and the local superintendent Liu was very surprised, saying that he must be a pillar of the country. In the 28th year of Jiajing's township examination, he won the second place. In the thirty-second year, Zhongjinshi, because of his excellent articles and calligraphy, entered the Hanlin Academy as the first Shujishi. Thirty-four years, he was awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing. Forty-one and forty-four years will be examined with the same examiner, and copy the copy of the "Yongle Canon".

At this time, Siwei studied behind closed doors, read exhaustively, thought deeply, and was quite accomplished. On behalf of Yuan Wenrong, he drafted the strategist document, which was well-known through the past and the present, and was clever in strategy, and was praised as "a true naturalist gentleman" by the officialdom Shilin; For Xu Wenzhen, he formulated a national policy plan, stated the interests and disadvantages of various policy theories, and won praise for his arguments, which was very valuable for participating in politics.

In the first year of Longqing, a copy of the "Yongle Canon" was recorded, and the right Chunfang was promoted to the right Zhongyuan. The emperor's first imperial lecture is used as a lecturer on the feast day in four dimensions, and he answers correctly with all his heart, and the emperor often listens to it. In the same year, he presided over the Shuntian Township Examination, and was soon promoted to Zuo Chunfang's Zuo Yude and Hanlin Academy's attendant, until Gao Gong returned to the cabinet this time and was exceptionally promoted and reused.

If you want to look at it from the visual perspective of the officialdom in Gao Shishi's previous life, this person is first from a wealthy family, and at the same time he is also the son of half a high-ranking cadre, and he is also excellent in character and learning, and his political experience can basically be said to be smooth sailing, as for his political achievements...... Not to mention the outstanding achievements, it can be called quite a achievement. If you have to pick a bone in the egg, it is nothing more than "lack of grassroots work experience". But at this time, it was the Ming Dynasty, and the promotion of officials in the Ming Dynasty actually didn't pay much attention to the so-called grassroots work experience - far away, let's just say Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, these two in history until they became the first assistant, and they did not work at the grassroots level, but these two can be called good ministers to save the time.

So, what was the most important thing for an official in the Ming Dynasty?

First, look at the list. What is Zhang Siwei's list? Serious Jinshi background, and is the first Shuji of the Hanlin Academy.

Secondly, look at the officials. What kind of official is Zhang Siwei? The emperor was close to the scholars, and had the experience of compiling canons.

Again, look at the name. What is Zhang Siwei's name? Hanlin was born in a noble name, and twice served as a talent examiner.

What about this...... No matter how you look at it, it's also a good qualification, although it seems a little amazing to directly serve as the right attendant of the ministry all of a sudden, but in fact, it's not surprising to think about it, after all, it's a "feudal dynasty", theoretically speaking, as long as the emperor is willing, yesterday a cloth cloth, today can also immediately rule the world. So, why did Zhang Siwei's promotion cause controversy?

In fact, in the final analysis, the reason is that Gao Gong is too high-profile to let Gao Cheng show his face. Because after this, someone with a heart went back to check, huh! Zhang Siwei is actually a highly pragmatic uncle!

Gao Pragmatic's father, Gao Xuan, the original wife was originally surnamed Sun, but unfortunately died childless, and his wife surnamed Zhang is the daughter of the Zhang family in Puzhou, Zhang Siwei's sister, that is, Gao Pragmatic's mother.

What does this mean? It shows that Gao Gong and Zhang Siwei can be regarded as relatives who have turned a corner!

Fortunately, Gao Pragmatic is only Gao Gong's nephew after all, and the Gao family has as many as six rooms in Gao Gong's generation, otherwise I am afraid that the controversy will be even louder, but even so, Zhang Siwei's appointment has been quite questioned. During the cabinet discussion, thanks to Zhang Juzheng coming out and saying a few fair words, this appointment was barely reached in the cabinet - Zhang Juzheng also admired Zhang Siwei.

Of course, although the promotion of Zhang Siwei by the cabinet here seems a little reluctant, it is easy to handle on the side of the celebrant - the emperor will definitely not delay when it comes to the matter of high arches, which is very guaranteed.

As for Zhang Siwei's visit to Gaofu this time, the first thing is naturally not to see his nephew, but to thank Gao Gong for his recommendation. What the uncle and uncle talked about, Gao Pragmatic doesn't know - after all, their meeting is barely regarded as a business exchange between superiors and subordinates, and it is not easy for Gao Pragmatic children to go to audit.

By the time Gao Pragmatic learned that the meeting between the third uncle and the eldest uncle was over and rushed to the flower hall, Gao Gong had long since disappeared, and Zhang Siwei was already standing at the door of the flower hall with a smile and looking at him.

Gao Pragmatic hurriedly stepped forward and gave a big gift to his nephew: "My nephew has seen my uncle." ”

"Get up, your own family doesn't have to be polite." Zhang Siwei smiled and helped his little nephew up, looked at it, and said with satisfaction: "I saw you last time, but it was just over the knee, but now it is waist high, okay, okay...... Before you came, was your mother okay? ”

Gao pragmatic got up and replied: "Everything is okay with my mother, but sometimes I miss my uncle and aunt." ”

Uncle and aunt are the names of the local grandparents in Puzhou, and Gao Shishi usually speaks in this tone, obviously it is deliberately said to Zhang Siwei.

Sure enough, Zhang Siwei smiled even more when he heard this: "If there is nothing to do in Xinzheng, you can mention it to your father, and let your mother go back to Puzhou Province for a while...... Your father is now in the capital, and he doesn't need your mother to take care of him. ”

Zhongdu Daming is talking about Fengyang, the pragmatic biological father Gao Xuan, and now it is the general judgment of Fengyang Mansion. One thing to explain here is that Fengyang Mansion had a very high status in the Ming Dynasty, although the position of general judgment is not high, but it is not bad. However, Gao Xuan was likely to have been promoted faster, and the reason why he was unhappy was mainly because he was too late to participate in the imperial examination, and the problem with this matter was Gao Gong: when the Lianghe Dian Examination was made, most of the examiners were Gao Gong's protégés, and Gao Gong did not let the sixth brother Gao Xuan take the exam in order to avoid suspicion. It wasn't until the middle of Jiajing that Gao Xuan was able to be elected, and this time, after a long time, the officialdom started a little slowly.
