Chapter 90: The old brother has also risen
"Hmph, I don't know how thick the sky is. The boy who has not grown up all of his hair also wants to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of the study for the saints, and peace for all generations? Gao Gong snorted sarcastically, but he had to be convinced: "But what he did is really good, the old man has never been out of Gaojiazhuang at his age......"
"It's a pity that he didn't have the idea of taking the imperial examination, and he didn't listen to him after persuading him several times." Lin Run sighed with a look of regret.
"If you don't jump over the dragon gate, it will be difficult to achieve a positive result after all, and the so-called science can only be a wild fox Zen." Gao Gong laughed, and lowered the threat level of Zhao Hao and the Jiangnan Group by a level in his heart.
But sooner or later, I still have to clean him up, who let the kid surnamed Zhao dare to take advantage of the danger of others to blackmail himself and promise him so many excessive conditions?!
There is also Zhao Liben's old Wang Ba, if you don't cut him, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in the heart of the tall beard!
It's normal for Gao Gong to have this idea, because all generosity is forced to do it, but who doesn't want to repay it if there are conditions? Therefore, the big people often seem to have a small belly, and the fart prime minister can hold the boat in his belly!
Just like right now, the north and south of the Ming Dynasty are not very peaceful, and the Yellow River is also chaotic, and Gao Gong has to rely on the cooperation of the Jiangnan side, otherwise he can't do anything, of course, he must maintain generosity at this time.
When he settles all the troubles one day, you see how generous he is!
However, Gao Gong seems to be rough, but in fact, the city government is extremely deep, and he didn't even tell Lin Run this idea...... After all, Lin Run's life was also saved by Zhao Hao, and it is inevitable that there will be thoughts of repaying the favor, and it will be troublesome if it is revealed to Zhao Hao.
So Lin Run only thought that Eun Xiang simply wanted to understand the situation of the Jiangnan Gang, so he didn't think deeply.
Coming out of Gao Gong, he went to Zhao's Hutong to visit Zhao Liben. Just as Gao Gong thought, after all, Lin Run's life was also saved by Zhao Hao, and it was really unreasonable to know that his grandfather was not going to visit him in the capital.
Zhao Lao Lang happened to be going to Guangzhou too, because Zhao Hao wrote a letter saying that he wanted to ask the old man to be a representative to negotiate face-to-face with Franc Jiren.
Zhao Liben thought that he had walked through the mountains, rivers and seas, but he had not yet appreciated the scenery of Lingnan, and he couldn't help but be a little fascinated. Besides, when people are old, they are not tired when it is cold, and they heard from his grandson that they can still wear pants in the month of Guangzhou and there are all kinds of big tonic soups, so he decided to go to Macao in person and spend the winter in Guangzhou.
As everyone knows, when her good grandson asked his godmother to help him sell grain to Emperor Longqing, the only condition put forward by the eldest princess was to let Zhao Hao try to take him away, so that he could live a two-person world with Zhao Lang without disturbing......
Everything is born and cooked twice, selling grandpa, Zhao Gongzi has done it once, and when he does it again, there is no psychological burden at all.
In fact, Zhao Hao also wrote to Lin Run, asking him to help take care of the old man's south. Zhao Hao just wanted to take his grandfather away, and he didn't plan to send him to another world forever......
So Lin Run invited Zhao Liben to go on the road together, and the old man said that it was not good, but he was very useful in his heart. The pomp and circumstance of the governor is something that can't be bought with money.
Then Zhao Liben, accompanied by the Ye family, followed Lin Run on the road south to Guangdong.
But the old man never expected that Lin Run, as if he had been stimulated by something, actually chose to go south by sea, giving up many opportunities for officials along the way to send them away...... From Beijing to Guangzhou, even if it is not the longest route to take office, it is also the route that passes through the most provinces, states and counties, and has the most oil and water.
With the level of Lin Run's feudal official, and the celebrity of Gao Xianggong's son, where he crossed, all officials would present a copy of Fenghou's Cheng Yi, even the governor and governor's envoy, and none of them were indispensable.
Not to mention that you can receive hundreds of Cheng Yi, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver! It's just for nothing, Zhao Liben can't wait to collect it for him.
Occasionally, when he docked for supplies, Lin Run would still refuse the hospitality of coastal defense officials, let alone accept their Cheng Jing, and every day he was in a hurry except for a hurry, and it only took a month to rush from Beijing to Guangzhou!
If it weren't for the boat ride all the way, Zhao Liben's bones would have been tossed apart.
This also tosses the old man enough, because he is seasick......
~~
Kunshan County Yatianjing.
Zhao Hao's father and son imagined the scenery of the old man along the way, and Zhao Shouzheng just remembered something, slapped his forehead and said:
"Oh yes, the day before yesterday, my old nephew sent a letter."
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, only to realize that his father was referring to his elder brother Zhao Jin.
Speaking of which, it has been two full years since Zhao Jin took office as governor of Guizhou. In the past two years, it can be described as a remarkable political achievement and a great shine.
In accordance with the policy agreed with Zhao Hao, he applied both grace and power to the local Tusi, and focused his work on building the provincial capital for Guizhou. As a result, in the past two years, Tusi has been respectful, and Guizhou has a new look...... Before Guizhou, there was not even a provincial capital, and it was still Guiyang City built by Zhao Zhongcheng, can this change be big?
After successfully gaining a foothold in Guizhou, Zhao Jin admired Zhao Hao's little brother even more, because it turned out that the route he set for himself was not wrong at all!
Zhao Zhongcheng didn't know, it was because he had come out of this route...... It's just that a dirty-hearted teenager told it in advance.
Therefore, as soon as Gao Gong made a comeback, Zhao Jin immediately followed Zhao Hao's plan and published "Please Change the Land and Return to the Streams for Long-term Peace", referring to the implementation policy of his predecessor, and wrote a piece of music sprinkled with thousands of words and full of insights, requesting that the land be reformed and returned to the stream in Guizhou on a trial basis, and then promoted throughout the country.
As soon as this proposal came out, it really caused an uproar in the court, and the officials of the Jiangnan family cheered for him, and for a time there was a great posture of 'changing the land and returning to the stream'.
Who knew that at this time, Gu Cunren, the secretary of Dali Temple, recommended Zhao Jin as the new secretary of Dali Temple, and ordered him to go to Beijing immediately......
After Zhao Jin received the edict, his face was full of incredulity.
His officials thought he was stunned by the surprise.
In fact, they were also very surprised, because they had secretly speculated that Gao Gong came to power, and officials like Zhao Jin, who were rehabilitated by Xu Gelao, were afraid that good days would come to an end.
Everyone has not forgotten that when Xu Ge was a convicted official in the previous dynasty, Gao Gong was fiercely opposed. To say that this is a naked attempt to buy people's hearts by denying the invitation of the first emperor will seriously hit the authority of the royal family. It's a pity that Xu Ge was old and powerful at that time, and Gao Gong's words didn't play a role. Because of this, he offended hundreds of officials and aroused the disgust of many people - how can you, a civil official, not speak for the civil official group, think about the emperor? Do you know if your ass is crooked?
Those officials who were reinstated by Xu Ge became the main force in the subsequent cabinet tide. All of them have been imprisoned, eaten court rods, and scolded their mothers in a rough voice, making them embarrassed, so they can only go back to their hometown to avoid the limelight.
This time he returned to the capital and served as a second assistant and a heavenly official, how could Gao Gong spare these 'remnants of the previous dynasty'?
This is by no means a conjecture, because Gu Cunren, who gave Zhao Jin a seat, is one of them. In the seventeenth year of Jiajing, Gu Cunren asked for the people's life, and he was negligent in five things, but he offended the first emperor, and was 60 court rods and was stuffed with the army for nearly 30 years. It wasn't until the first year of Longqing that he was revived by Xu Ge, and then just became the Dali Siqing for half a year, because he attacked the high arch in the pavilion tide, and was called sick by the homecoming group......
Who would have thought that Zhao Zhongcheng, who was also an official who was revived by Xu Ge, was actually promoted. And after only two years of the three-year governor's term, he was promoted ahead of schedule.
Although they are all three products, they have always been regarded as high promotions from foreign officials to Beijing officials, not to mention that Dali Siqing is a serious Dajiuqing, and Zhao Jin has completely entered the list of ministers.
Thinking that he was still a thief three years ago, even after his recovery, he was just a seven-grade imperial history. It's only been three years to become the Great Jiuqing, how can you not make everyone blush?
Suppressing the jealousy in their hearts, all the civil and military forces in Guizhou hurriedly congratulated one after another, and implored Lord Tingwei not to forget the days when everyone endured hardships in Guizhou in the future......
In fact, Zhao Jin was shocked that this matter was actually said by Zhao Hao again, and it was said three years ago - at that time, Zhao Hao told him that Gao Gong would not let him do it regardless of whether he looked at it or not.
Because Zhao Jin is a descendant of Xinxue and has a close relationship with Xu Jie, how could Gao Gong hand over this century-old plan to him to implement? If it happens, whose credit will it be? Do you want to let the cool Xu Ge Lao come out again to breathe?
But under the clamor of Jiangnan officials, Gao Gong could not turn a blind eye to his claims. Moreover, Zhao Jin has become a well-known capable official in the government and the opposition under the momentum of the Jiangnan Gang. This kind of official who has both theoretical height and practical achievements, if Gao Gong is not reused, people will question whether he can be qualified to be the secretary of the ministry.
As a result, Gao Gong used the way of promoting Zhao Jin to the Great Jiuqing and transferred him out of Guizhou, and the successor governor was the same year Wang Zhen of Gao Gong.
Even Zhao Hao didn't say this wrong, it's really a god!
Shocked, Zhao Jin hurriedly wrote to Zhao Shouzheng to report the good news to his little uncle.
He knew that Zhao Hao had gone to sea and couldn't be contacted.
~~
Zhao Hao naturally knew about such a big thing as the eldest brother Gao Shengdali Siqing, but he was not very happy.
Because he and his advisers smelled something unsettling from this arrangement-Gu Cunren, who was replaced by Zhao Jin, is a native of Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, and the Gu family is currently the biggest official in the court!
Gao Gong killed a Gu family member, and then let Zhao Jin, who only has a relationship with Zhao Hao, but has nothing to do with Jiangnan Group, take over, which can not only block the mouth of the Jiangnan Gang, but also provoke Zhao Hao and Jiangnan Group to have a relationship, which is equivalent to weakening the strength of the Jiangnan Gang in disguise.
This kind of naked sowing discord made Zhao Hao feel annoyed but not surprised. Because if he is replaced in the position of a high arch, he will also use every opportunity to mix sand with all forces. In the treacherous and unpredictable court, only by constantly strengthening oneself and weakening others can one have the last laugh.
It's just that Gao Gong still didn't see the relationship between Zhao Hao and Jiangnan Group. He thinks that Zhao Hao is just a pawn of those Jiangnan heroes. Unexpectedly, the entire Jiangnan Group belonged to Zhao Hao, and the so-called 'Nine Families' had already knelt at the feet of Zhao Gongzi.
Therefore, this kind of provocation is doomed to be useless.
