Gao pragmatically mobilized his family guards and escorted Zhang Juzheng south to return to his hometown all the way. This incident was mistaken by some officials who did not know the truth as a high-arch order, so it led to two types of discussions.

One thinks that Gao Gong is greedy for fame, and it is clear that Zhang Juzheng is the main beneficiary, but he also asked his nephew to send a family member and a convoy to escort him all the way, obviously trying to make a good reputation.

The other group thinks that Gao Gong thinks about his decades-long friendship with Zhang Juzheng, no matter what the result of the two is, it will inevitably be ruthless, and it is still a good heart in the end.

However, this matter is actually Gao Shi's own idea, and it is another unauthorized act, but surprisingly, this time Gao Gong didn't say anything, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence. And after Guo Pu found out, he even praised Gao Pragmatic a few words, thinking that this is the style of a benevolent gentleman, and he doesn't need to care about the words of others.

As for the real purpose of Gao Pragmatism, only he knows it in his own heart.

Through this incident, Gao Gong established the absolute authority of the cabinet before Wanli's pro-government, and even because he had no real opponents at the top of the imperial court, the reform plans could finally be carried out according to his will.

At the beginning of August, the Ministry of Rites agreed on the honorific titles of the two palaces. The next day, led by the cabinet assistant Gao Gong and the second assistant Guo Pu, the chief officials of the six ministries, the Duchayuan, Dali Temple, Hanlin Yuan and other yamen were all on the line, please add the honorific titles of the two palaces, with Empress Chen as the Empress Dowager of Rensheng and Concubine Li Guifei as the Empress Dowager of Cisheng. The little emperor Wanli criticized the red and said that he wanted to ask the two palaces.

The next day, all the Shixun in Beijing took Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, and Zhang Rong, the Duke of the British, as their superiors, and asked the emperor to discuss the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, and to honor the two palaces.

In the afternoon, the holy oracle was sent to the emperor's invitation, which was also my intention, but the two palaces deeply mourned the emperor and the dragon, and the emperor had not finished the mountain mausoleum, and the two palaces felt uneasy. Although the request is, it is not allowed for the time being.

On the second day, the town guards the local eunuchs in Changping, and the mausoleum worker Meng Chong is sparse, the emperor's mausoleum phase has been determined, and the former Dingtan Yuling is at the main mountain, and the gas veins are all gone, and it is not appropriate. However, after repeated phases, it is the place of Dayu Mountain, the old place of the Tomb of Cha Xian, the mountain range is majestic, the gas veins are natural, and it is an excellent place. However, the tomb was built by Sejong for the emperor, and it was vacant because of the matter, which was slightly difficult to decide, and he dared to make a decision.

Meng Chong's recital is to say that the location of the previous phase was not good, but after investigation, the Xianling Tomb built for his biological father during the Jiajing Great Ceremony was a good place, but because Jiajing's biological father did not move the tomb in the end, so although this place was repaired Xuangong, it was not completely repaired, and now it is empty, this matter is not easy to decide, please ask the emperor to make a decision.

Of course, the emperor can't cut that the Xianling Mausoleum was originally built for Longqing's grandfather, and now let his grandson "live" in it? Sounds a bit unreliable.

So they reported to the two palaces, and the two palaces didn't understand these things anymore, these were all important matters related to etiquette, and they didn't dare to make up their minds, so they pushed back to the cabinet and the Ministry of Etiquette.

This time, someone made a decision, Gao Gong stood up, and made a clear statement that it was set at the site of the Dayu Mountain Tomb!

Gao Gong made the board so quickly, not because of anything else, but because he felt that Xianling was empty and empty, and now he could get things done with a little repair, that would be great, why repeat the construction, and there was nowhere to spend the money? If you have the money to repair the emperor's mausoleum, it is better to use the money to repair the border defense!

So Gao Gong sent Zhu Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, to inspect in person, and found Zhu Heng to teach him face-to-face before leaving.

Zhu Heng came and went very quickly this time, and when he came back, he praised the place in Xianling that it was so good, not only the feng shui was so good, but also the Xuangong Palace, which was originally almost repaired, was even more magical, "The purple light in the Xuangong is radiant, the atmosphere is steaming, and the door hall is clean, like a warm room"!

Zhu Yijun was of course overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly returned to the two palaces, and the two palaces were also very happy to hear that the two of them would have to "live" there in the future, so the matter was settled.

Zhu Yijun immediately decreed that it would be Zhaoling, and first moved the coffin of Empress Li of Xiaoyi, who was the first princess of Longqing, died very early, and the queen was posthumously sealed. On September 19, the coffin of Emperor Muzong, which Longqing should now be called, was also buried in the mausoleum.

Next, it was time for the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry to allocate funds to repair the mausoleum, but at this time, there was a little accident and high pragmatism, and asked for someone to contribute money to participate in the repair of the mausoleum.

This made everyone wonder, Longqing is not your father, what is the reason why you pay someone to help him repair the tomb?

Not to mention that the people below can't figure out the situation, even the two palaces and the little emperor are inexplicable, and even Zhu Yijun has an idea that he is actually my brother?

This can't be thought of, he remembered his father's importance to Gao Pragmatic, that is by no means an ordinary value, before he died, he confessed that he would accompany him until the end of the pro-government, and there was a separate conversation before, saying that Gao Pragmatic was left by him to be an auxiliary minister in the future!

However, this association did not last long, because Gao pragmatic quickly explained the reason.

One is that the first emperor had a great favor to him, not only a special appointment, but also gave him the right to manufacture soap, he can have today's wealth, depending on this matter, now the first emperor is a big deal, and it is natural for him to contribute some money.

The second is that he experimented with a special building material, which was built and constructed, which was strong and abnormal, so he deliberately offered it as part of repaying the kindness of the first emperor.

Oh, I see, that's a good point. The only question is how amazing that building material really is.

Many people don't believe in the magic that people don't see with their own eyes, so Gao Pragmatic decided to let people see it and ask for it.

On September 23, while the autumn tiger was still there and the weather was still relatively hot, the pragmatic performance began.

At the foot of Banzai Mountain, dozens of Gao family members worked as construction workers and began construction on the edge of Miyagi, close to Miyagi. The building they are going to build today is not difficult, it is just an ordinary warehouse.

Those who were invited to visit the construction on the same day were the two palaces, the emperor, the cabinet and ministers of various ministries, and the officials of science and technology.

With Gao Shishi's order, the Gao family lifted the cloth on the building materials, revealing the true face inside.

As soon as he opened it, Zhu Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was surprised and asked, "Gao Guanzheng, these iron rods are also building materials?" ”

Gao pragmatic didn't plan to introduce him to reinforced concrete, but just smiled and let him look at it.

In fact, the so-called reinforced concrete building of Gao Pragmatic is still very simple. Those so-called steel bars are actually just thumb-thick wrought iron sticks, and his concrete is far from meeting the standard in later generations, almost only Portland cement with some simple aggregates added. As for compressive strength, acid and corrosion resistance, expansion coefficient, etc., no one knows at all, and it cannot be measured at all.

But in any case, this original reinforced concrete building must be much stronger and more durable than the building of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

However, Gao Pragmatic is a person who has never been willing to do day work, and he jumped out to meddle in the tomb work, of course, it will not only be the two reasons he said on the surface, but naturally he has other plans.
