Chapter 195: Who's Preparing for a Rainy Day
Gao Sitang held a celebration party in Quanzhou, and his owner Gao Pragmatic also held a celebration party in Thang Long City.
In the event of Annan's arrival, the imperial court's reward for the Tusi has reached Annan with rare efficiency.
Cen Ling's position within the Ming Dynasty has been promoted, from the judge of Sicheng Prefecture to the same knowledge, to be honest, this level of promotion is not small among the Tusi of the Ming Dynasty, but compared to his current position in Annan, it has become a drizzle.
However, for Tusi, Daming's official position is not easy to climb, especially compared to Gao Pragmatic, the "prime minister" who has the title of the gold list and goes straight to Hanlin, it is really a world of difference.
The court's reward for Huang Zhiting is more interesting - she was named a gongren.
Gongren, it is the title of the wife, which is equivalent to the four products. But the problem is that, generally speaking, a maiden is given to a "woman", and the rank usually corresponds to the official rank of the husband.
But...... Huang Zhiting, she is unmarried!
Seeing the seal from the imperial court, Gao Pragmatic laughed and joked: "This is strange, the seal of the wife has always corresponded to the official character of her husband...... I'm thinking, could it be that the emperor meant, whoever marries you will be promoted to the fourth grade? That's a terrible thing, I'm afraid that there will be ten times more people who want to beat your mind from now on than in the past! ”
Huang Zhiting's face was quite calm, but after listening to Gao Shishi's words, he raised his willow eyebrows slightly: "What's the use of that?" I can earn a four-grade myself, will I still look down on those busy people who expect me to be promoted? ”
"Oh, Miss Huang, what you say is too hurtful, and I'm just a seven-grade sesame official."
"You?" Huang Zhiting said angrily: "Then your sesame seed is too big, give you a four-grade prefect, are you willing to change it?" ”
Gao Pragmatic didn't answer "want" or "don't want to", but shook his head and said: "I, I guess I can't change it if I want to, unless there are any major changes in Beijing, otherwise when my term of office is over, the emperor should call me back to Beijing." ”
Huang Zhiting's face changed, and she said in a daze: "You...... Going back to Beijing? ”
"Not yet, the term of office of the inspector is counted from the time of arrival, normally for one year. I arrived at the beginning of October last year, and I still have half a year to go – and that's a lot to do. ”
How much more? Since you took office in Guilin, you have put down two rebellions in Mingjiang City and Lingyun City, asked Guangxi to come to Lianzhou Mansion, and won over almost the entire Guangxi Tusi under your command, and then decisively sent troops to pacify the entire Annan......
I'm afraid that since the history of patrolling, the most efficient and most efficient patrol is yours.
"You...... After returning to Beijing, will you still come to Guangxi or Annam? ”
"I don't know." Gao Shishi smiled bitterly: "Generally speaking, unless there is a big mess in Annan, and the imperial court feels that I can't make a decision, it is possible to let me come to Annan again." ”
He sighed lightly and said, "As for Guangxi, I'm afraid it's even more difficult." Although I am now the status of the imperial historian, this is a reason for the incident, in fact, I should still be counted as a Hanlin official, and it is unlikely that I will be appointed as a foreign prefect or a soldier, and even if I am a foreign officer, it is unlikely that I will come to Guangxi. ”
"I ......" Huang Zhiting's face turned pale and gritted her teeth: "Can we meet again?" ”
Gao pragmatic looked at her, and suddenly smiled: "It may be difficult for me to come to see you, but if you want to see me, it is actually not too difficult." The imperial court's restrictions on your Tusi are different from those on our liuguan, and if you want to leave the territory, the imperial court won't ask too much.
Besides, what you Cen and Huang will do next is to gradually draw strength from Guangxi to Annan, and prepare to build a fence for the imperial court in Annan, in this period, as long as you don't think that Annan will have any big changes, even if you go to Beijing to find me, no one will care about you. ”
"Yes, I ......" Huang Zhiting's face was happy, and suddenly she felt that something was wrong, and pouted: "Why should I go to you...... You, you didn't tell me to go. ”
Gao Shishi suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Huang Zhiting's hands, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Zhiting, as long as Annan is fine, I welcome you at any time." ”
Huang Zhiting and Gao Pragmatic had an almost "frank meeting" experience, and also made some harmless jokes, but it was the first time that Gao Pragmatic grabbed his hands and called him by his name.
Miss Huang, who was calm and calm when commanding the Battle of Langshan, suddenly turned red, and the deer in her heart collided, and her hands subconsciously shrank back, but she was grabbed by Gao Shishi, which made her even more overwhelmed, and said in a panic: "You ......"
"You" for a long time, but you can't pick up the following.
Gao Pragmatic patted the back of her hand lightly, and said softly: "Zhiting, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless." I know that there are a lot of things that you wouldn't do if it weren't for me...... I understand your feelings, it's just ......"
Huang Zhiting suddenly stopped struggling, and looked at him nervously: "Just what?" ”
"It's just...... Alas! Gao Pragmatic sighed: "You know my background, now in the Ming officialdom, the two most powerful factions are always staring at me: the real school is staring at me, because I am the nephew of Gao Wen Zhenggong, and I am the indispensable speaker of the Gao family, they want to observe me and supervise me, so that they can lead them to go better and smoother in the future."
The Heart School also stared at me, hoping that if I made a mistake, it would be better for me to do something out of the ordinary and give them a handle, so as to regain the dominance of the imperial court and pull this increasingly utilitarian imperial court back to the 'right path'. ”
Huang Zhiting's heart was a little sour, she bit her lip, and said, "So, you can't marry a toast as a wife, can you?" "New Bayi Chinese Network debut s://
Gao pragmatic opened his mouth, but finally just sighed, his eyelids drooped, and he didn't answer.
"I ......" Huang Zhiting exerted a little force, withdrew her hand, lowered her head and said: "A life wife can only be a wife, right?" ”
Gao Pragmatic didn't expect her thinking to suddenly jump to this, she was slightly stunned, and hesitated: "According to the system...... That's true. ”
Huang Zhiting turned around and did not speak.
Gao pragmatic took two steps, turned to her, and said, "I know you won't agree, and I don't dare to ......."
"Truth-seeking." Huang Zhiting suddenly raised his head, looked at him seriously, and asked, "You say, did the imperial court do it on purpose?" ”
"Huh?" Gao was stunned: "The imperial court? What did the imperial court deliberate? ”
"When the imperial court asked me to act as a substitute for Siming Prefecture last time, it should have known that I was not married, why did you have to give me a four-grade wife this time? Don't you think that's weird? ”
"You mean......" Gao pragmatic frowned deeply: "Is there really anyone in the imperial court who is worried that I will marry you?" ”
"Anyway, I think it's unusual for the imperial court to do this." Huang Zhiting shook his head and said: "The Ming Dynasty has always attached great importance to the name, and it is hard to imagine that they broke the rules of the ancestors just because of my military exploits this time, and came to give me, a woman in the pavilion who has no marriage match at all, to be a wife." But if you think about it in connection with what you just said...... I think that's the only possibility. ”
Gao Pragmatic originally did not look at Huang Zhiting's gift from this perspective at all, but now that she said this, he had to admit that what she said was quite reasonable, and this possibility could not be ruled out at least.
But who would do that?
In order to make it impossible for him to marry Huang Zhiting, he has taken precautions to this point?
Mr. Guo? No, if he really wants to marry Huang Zhiting, Mr. Guo may oppose it, but he will not force himself to listen to him, let alone use such means to "calculate" himself. According to Mr. Guo's personality, his first choice must be to convince himself, if he refuses to listen, he may scold himself for this, but in the end he will still find a way to help, and finally fulfill himself, and at the same time try to clear his own troubles. Mobile:
Zhu Yijun? No, he hopes that he can join the cabinet as soon as possible in the future, there is no doubt about this, and marrying a daughter of Tusi as a wife is bound to affect his reputation in his opinion, so it is not surprising to say that he is likely to oppose it.
The problem is that he is not a traveler like himself, just a young man who still has illusions about politics, he wants to reuse himself, for this, as long as he is not blind, everyone can see it, but that does not mean that he can think of such a detailed thing, and use such a hand to create trouble and roadblocks for himself.
Guo Pu is personality, and his status is high enough, so he doesn't need or disdain to use such a small means to force himself to walk at a prescribed pace.
The emperor has not yet reached that ideological level, and he will not think about these things in such detail, so as to design such a way to seal himself in advance.
As for the officials of the Mind School, it may be a bit too much to say that they are waiting for themselves to "kill themselves", but at least they should not be so selfless and come out to help themselves avoid a disaster that no one can predict.
Then this is strange, who would pay attention to this matter, and hold a very clear position to help themselves, and at the same time have the ability to make the imperial court make such an unprecedented move?
The faces of many high-ranking officials in Beijing suddenly flashed in Gao Shi's mind, and he was suddenly stunned, and said to himself: "Could it be uncle?" ”
Gao Pragmatic's uncle Zhang Siwei obviously has such ability, he is the second assistant of the imperial court, and Gao Pragmatic's maternal uncle, he opposes Gao Pragmatic marrying a female toast who may affect his reputation in Shilin, which is indeed no problem in reason.
But why did Zhang Siwei have such doubts? Although Gao Pragmatic and Huang Zhiting are indeed unmarried men and unmarried women, in the eyes of outsiders, Gao Pragmatic's identity is unlikely to consider marrying a female toast.
Zhang Siwei, as a highly pragmatic maternal uncle, should also have such a proud mentality.
Gao Pragmatic frowned deeply: Is there any reason for this that I don't know?
