Chapter 023: The True "Wanli Era" is coming
For the contingency ideas of the right-wing Mongolian side, Gao Pragmatic had some plans before, simply put, that is, to take advantage of the death of Ma Da, he would put Hannaji on the throne and replace Xin Ai as the Great Khan, and then persuade the third lady to marry Hannaji, and at the same time transfer Xin Ai's department to the son of the third lady, Butashri.
He told Zhu Yijun about this idea, and Zhu Yijun didn't agree immediately, but frowned and said: "I know that the Mongolian marriage rules are not in accordance with etiquette, but Zhong Jin Hatun should be counted as Hannaji's grandmother, which ...... Okay? ”
Gao pragmatically explained: "Since the emperor knows that the Mongols do not teach etiquette, why should he care about this? As long as the Mongols are not blood relatives, let alone grandmothers, it doesn't matter if they are great-grandmothers. As far as I, Daming, don't care about the status between them, just make sure that Tumut is still submissive. ”
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and asked, "So, will Han Naji and Zhong Jin Hatun be willing to each other?" ”
"If the emperor is not at ease, the ministers can think of a way to do this, let's not contact them through the court or the border ministers, and the Jinghua side will secretly mention this matter to them, so that they can not only test their minds, but also not lose the room to turn around."
"That's good." Zhu Yijun nodded in approval.
In fact, a large part of the reason why he hesitated was that he was worried about messing up the mandarin duck score, and then provoking Hannaji and Zhong Jin Hatun to be dissatisfied, and the result was bad. Since Gao Pragmatic has taken this matter down, it is equivalent to testing it in a private capacity, which can leave the court out, lest the court be irreparable as soon as the court speaks.
In today's small lecture, in addition to Gao Pragmatic, there is only one lecturer, Shen Li, whose duty is mainly to record, and he has never spoken.
However, Gao Pragmatic is not worried about him leaking the opportunity, because Shen Li is not only a "fellow party" with him, but also a "fellow villager".
Shen Li is a native of Yucheng County, Guide Prefecture, Henan, and in this era, he is a serious township party with high pragmatism, and he is a jinshi in Jiajing for 44 years, and he has been labeled as a high party in front of his head.
Shen Li, this person, in history is famous for fighting against Shen, and this has also left him a good name through the ages, after his death, Zhu Yijun has personally inscribed four memorial texts for him, calling it "Qiankun righteousness, Yiluo Zhenru".
In the original history, Gao Gong was not only his chief examiner, but also his fellow countryman, and he refused to speak to Gao Gong privately, so that Gao Gong ignored him as a person who sold his reputation and reputation, and planned to sharpen his mind first. This life is different, because Gao Pragmatic knows Shen Li's personality and his future, so he has always befriended him, and slowly pulled him into the inner circle of the former Gao Party.
Therefore, to a large extent, Shen Li's ability to appear in the Gao Party is actually due to Gao Pragmatism, which makes him pay more attention to Gao Pragmatism than to the entire Gao Party.
Such a person, Gao Pragmatic, of course, is not worried that he will leak the opportunity.
The matter of Mongolian contingency will be here for the time being, and then Gao Shishi will write a letter to recall Cao Gan, who is sitting in Chengdu and is trying to find a way to open up the southwest trade route, and ask him to personally implement this matter.
Cao Gan's status in the Jinghua Group is quite high, and he is the first person in the family who has not changed his surname, and what is particularly special is that unlike the sea trade and sea power, which are divided into various private ports and the current North and South Ocean fleets, Jinghua's land "foreign trade" is concentrated in the Jinghua Trading Company, and Cao Gan has been in charge of the Jinghua Trading Company from beginning to end, and it has been more than ten years now.
This kind of qualifications, in the entire Jinghua "family line", only Gao Mo and Gao Rui can compare.
But relatively speaking, Gao Mo is in the center, responsible for the monitoring system of the whole Jinghua and the highly pragmatic personal security; Gaorui is located in Kaiping, the core town of Jinghua's industrial system, which is considered to be "in charge of production", and is not responsible for the business and trade of "direct money", so Cao Gan's position is particularly unique in the trade port.
However, after Cao Gan received the letter in Chengdu, he didn't say a word, and didn't even wait for the night, and set off for Beijing on the same day.
In fact, in Cao Gan's opinion, this matter was raised by himself, if he hadn't reported it to the master last time, maybe the master would not have known that there were signs of disintegration within Tumut. Therefore, the lord summoned him back to Beijing to preside over this matter, and in his opinion, it was also a matter of course.
Of course, there is another personal reason why he is in a hurry to return to Beijing: his son Cao Ke is back, it is said that the master is quite satisfied with him, and arranged his identity for him, and asked him to take the Tongzi test with the household registration of the Beijing teacher, to see if he can get a student status, and if he performs well, he will continue to participate in the Shuntian Township test next year.
In fact, there are various advantages to the status of a family member, simply put, it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, but there is also a trouble, that is, you are generally not allowed to participate in the imperial examination. If you want to participate in the imperial examination, the main family must first agree, which is for sure, but there are many troublesome formalities to go through.
Well, in fact, generally speaking, the master family disagrees, and the reason is obvious: if you take the fame test, you are a master, and it is difficult to say whether the master will be able to suppress him in the future - what if this guy is good at reading, not only to take the test, but also to take the test? Even in case, if someone takes the Jinshi exam, he will become a master, so there is still a ghost's suppressive power in this master's house?
However, Gao Pragmatic is obviously an exception, his attitude is to let you take the test, what if you are a Jinshi? I'm playing with you with these six champions?
Even if you become a Jinshi master, you have a big "high" word on your head, I am as kind to you as a mountain, which will definitely be recognized by the people of the world - otherwise can you participate in the imperial examination?
Therefore, even if Cao Ke is admitted to the Jinshi, as long as he makes any move that is unfavorable to Gao Pragmatic, it is equivalent to suicide - political suicide.
The real awesome is not reflected in bullying the weak, but also in training and promotion.
Cao Gan estimates that it will take at least half a month to go this way, so there is no need to talk about him for the time being.
The next major events in Jingshi have focused on Guo Pu's head.
Taifu, the prince and the prince, the secretary of the ministry and the scholar of the Zhongji Temple, Guo Pu, for three consecutive days, three sparse and retreated.
The emperor's reply changed from "not allowed", "warm words of consolation, not allowed" to "earnestly and earnestly assisted by Yuansuke, and was not allowed".
But then, Guo Yuanfu asked to see the two palaces. So on the same day, the two palaces summoned the emperor again.
The next day, the emperor ordered the celebrant to send a decree to convene Jiuqing and other important ministers to discuss the addition of cabinet ministers.
This move means that Guo Puqiu's retreat has been decided, so the emperor is preparing.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty attacked an ancestral system for selecting officials, called Tingtui. Vacancies in high-ranking cadres are not directly decided by the emperor, but must first be negotiated by senior officials of the third rank and above and the chief officials of various ministries, and two to three or even more people are publicly recommended by the emperor to select and appoint them. This method has been used throughout the Ariake Dynasty.
Of course, did the emperor do nothing? No, the emperor can be selected on the list at such a time, or he may not use it.
For example, "In the first month of the third year of the Apocalypse, the court pushed the cabinet ministers, the first column Sun Shenxing, Sheng Yihong, and they were not used." ”
Another example is "In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, Cai Guozhen, the secretary of the ministry, was dismissed, seven people were pushed by the court, Li Dai was at the end, and the emperor was promoted." ”
It can be seen that the ministers' first recommendation is sometimes not the emperor's favorite, and sometimes the emperor doesn't even look down on any of the recommended candidates. Between monarchs and ministers, the difference in employment standards is so large that outsiders are baffled.
However, don't think that the emperor is so generous and kind in any situation, if that's the case, then it's really a little cute. In the era of imperial power, the emperor had a power act in his hands that was not contrary to the court push system, called Zhongzhi, that is, the emperor could issue a personal order or edict from the court, bypass the Zhongshu door in an abnormal way, and directly hand it over to the department for execution.
Although this time, everyone knows that the cabinet ministers will be added in this situation, in fact, no matter how Jiuqing pushes the court, the final result is certain: the emperor will definitely choose the one recommended by Shoufu when he leaves. Even if the results of the court push are different, the emperor will definitely veto the candidates for the court push and directly promote them.
Of course, if the situation gets to this point, the problem will be more serious, which means that the first assistant has lost control over the cabinet and the six ministries. Moreover, the ministers who enter the cabinet without being pushed by the court will be ugly on their faces - they did not have time to push the court and the court pushed 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 in the Ministry of Officials, and the "Heavenly Official" was a pivotal position, and there was no need for the ministers to come badly. But Wanli didn't like the candidate recommended by the court, and after the stalemate, Wanli resolutely issued a central decree and personally selected Li Youzi, a fellow villager of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant at that time.
Unexpectedly, Li didn't buy it.
In the emperor's opinion, this Jinshi of Jiajing for 26 years has been difficult to advance in the position of squire, and it is determined that it is difficult to resist the great seal of heavenly officials that fell from the sky.
But Li said bluntly in the recital: Tingtui is an example of the ancestors, and the wise men are expected to return. Today, the emperor ignored the public opinion and appointed the ministers with the central decree, which was actually angry with the ministers, not the saint's doing.
Li's attitude here is very clear, and he will not accept the official title granted by the Zhongzhi.
It can be seen that if there is a stalemate between the court and the push, the problem is very serious.
Shen Ge Lao is obviously not a strong enough to face the emperor and the first assistant to the top of the elder, his performance in the court perfectly reflects his style, as soon as Guo Pu proposed that Pan Sheng enter the cabinet, he immediately agreed.
Zhang Siwei obviously couldn't object, Xu Guo and Yu Youding were also not second-class goods, and they both agreed.
The cabinet unanimously approved the proposal of the first assistant, and the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Hanlin Yuan and other chief officials were not stupid, and they all agreed, and the Ministry of Rites did not say anything - Pan Sheng himself is a scholar.
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 Pragmatic is a unique speaker, and he is often named by the emperor and asked to follow him, and today is no exception.
After the end of the court push, Zhu Yijun rarely chose not to take a sedan chair, but walked slowly back to the Qianqing Palace on foot, and was silent for a long time on the road, before he suddenly said to Gao Shishi: "Pragmatism, after Yuan Fu leaves, the three Gu Ming Auxiliary Ministers are no longer by my side......"
It is difficult for Gao Pragmatic to judge whether Zhu Yijun's mood is sighing or relieved, or both, when he says this, but is it more sighing or more relieved?
He could only comfort: "Yuanfu has completed what the first emperor gave him, and he has retired." Your Majesty, next year is the tenth year of Wanli, and that will be the real Wanli era. Your Majesty, whether you and your ministers can live up to the trust of the first emperor will be seen from now on. ”
