Yuwang, this is a Cotai Boulevard, and it is a Cotai Boulevard that anyone with a good brain can see.

Qian Zheng belongs to the kind of person who has a good brain, and he is the kind of scholar who traditionally pins his hopes on Mingjun, so he can naturally see this golden avenue.

But seeing it doesn't mean you can go.

Yan Song and Xu Jie could see it, but they couldn't leave, so they could only vaguely try to stuff the people they selected into it through various means, such as Tang Ruji and Zhang Juzheng.

However, so far, they have not succeeded, Tang Ruji gave a lecture for King Yu, but did not enter King Yu's mansion, and Zhang Juzheng seems to have no hope at all from now on.

Perhaps this was deliberately done by Emperor Jiajing.

There are now six speakers in Yuwangfu, one of the speakers returned to his hometown in September this year because of his father's funeral and filial piety, and Emperor Jiajing ordered the Hanlin Academy to elect a successor, Tang Ruji and Zhang Juzheng were among them, but Emperor Jiajing handpicked Hu Zhengmeng.

Taking a sip of tea, Qian Yuan looked at his serious uncle helplessly, "Even if the first-class jinshi directly enters the Hanlin Academy next year, it will take nine years to complete the examination before it is possible to be promoted to Yuwang Mansion as a lecturer......"

Nine years...... Qian Yuan didn't remember how many years the Jiajing Dynasty was, and calculated in his heart that it might be exactly the two years before and after the death of Emperor Jiajing.

"It's been too long." Qian Zheng said: "And...... You will definitely not get into the first-class jinshi! ”

The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth moved, okay, this is a fact.

"Yuwang's Mansion is now the most sensitive place in the capital." Qian Yuan carefully analyzed: "If there is no accident, in the future, King Yu will inherit the great treasure, Yan Fenyi and Xu Huating know this, and they will never fail to use means......"

"Tang Ruji gave a lecture for King Yu, but the relationship was not deep, this person was good friends with Yan Shifan, and his deceased father Tang Long had promoted Xu Huating several times."

"Over there in Yuwangfu, my nephew has only been in contact with Hu Zhengmeng, this person is the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, and he entered Yuwangfu as a lecturer two months ago, and he has met once in his uncle's house, but there has been no contact since then."

Qian Yuan hesitated, and then said: "And the most senior general of King Yu's Mansion, and the most trusted by King Yu, is Gao Suqing of Henan, this person is extremely arrogant and difficult to get along with. ”

It wasn't Qian Zheng who saw this Cotai Avenue alone, but everyone couldn't walk because there was a roadblock on the road, and it was a smelly and hard roadblock.

From the thirty-first year of Jiajing to the present, it has been nearly four years, and Gao Gong has guarded King Yu...... Almost all of them are Jinwu Zangjiao, Baba is looking forward to Emperor Jiajing's ascension to immortality, where can he see the duck with his beak flying.

It doesn't matter if it's just an ordinary official, Gao Gong also needs to accumulate contacts and expand his power, but typical Hanlin ministers such as Tang Ruji, Zhang Juzheng, Hu Zhengmeng, and Chen Yiqin are all regarded as opponents by Gao Gong.

And Yuwang's trust in Gao Gong ...... Not only the Ming Dynasty, but also in the era of great unification, this is almost an exception, which others may not know, but the traverser Qian Yuan knows too well that Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin, who are also officials of Yuwangfu, were driven away by Gao Gong.

Among them, Yin Shidan was so angry that he actually fought with the high arch in the cabinet...... This is recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and from this point of view, Gao Gong's character is too hard.

And Qian Yuan remembered that it seemed that Gao Gong was still notoriously incorruptible.

"Although Gao Suqing is arrogant, he is talented and brave in doing things." Qian Zheng said calmly: "In March this year, the Huizhou government used the silk tax as a breakthrough to implement the compilation method, and Gao Suqing wrote a letter to me. ”

Qian Yuan's mouth was crooked, I couldn't see it, uncle, you can hide it, such a big secret has been hidden until now!

In an instant, Qian Yuan thought a lot, in history, Gao Gong was on the throne, Guangxi Wei Yinbao led the rebellion, and Gao Gong recommended Yin Zhengmao as the governor to quell the rebellion.

In the history books, Gao Gong recorded such a passage, "I donated a million gold to Zhengmao, and half of those who did not do it were done, but things can be done immediately." ”

This means that in the cognition of Gao Gong, the ability to do things is the first, and virtue is the second.

And Qian Zheng has the ability to do things, and at the same time has a noble character, is not afraid of the powerful, and has old grievances with Yan Fenyi and Xu Huating.

Qian Zheng carefully looked at the stunned nephew in front of him, and only heard the inaudible "I see......

Qian Yuan had never figured it out before, this year was the year of external inspection, and Li Mo was ...... to himself who had disturbed his good things It must be a stomach full of resentment, but he promoted his uncle to Beijing, although the grade has not changed much, but one is a magistrate and the other is a Beijing official, which is a significant difference.

Eighty percent is a high arch mixed in with a kick!

Qian Yuan frowned and thought for a long time before raising his head and asking, "Uncle and Gao Suqing have an old relationship?" ”

This kind of relationship can't be set up casually, there are always some reasons in between, Qian Zheng is a Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Jiajing, and Gao Gong is a Jinshi in the twentieth year of Jiajing.

Thinking of this, Qian Yuan asked again: "Is it the Lu family?" ”

Lu Shusheng was the first in the 20th year of Jiajing's examination, and the second in the second class of the palace examination, which was the same year as the high arch.

"My father-in-law and Gao Suqing are not familiar with each other." Qian Zheng had a few smiles on his face, "Blue is better than blue." ”

"Gao Suqing has some vision, he has taken a fancy to you."

"Me?" Qian Yuan was stunned at first, and then speechless.

Is the traverser so capable of provoking people?

Zhang Juzheng was still thinking about making himself his assistant in the future, and Gao Gong was actually involved......

"In the southeast war situation, you are not light, most of the civil and military generals are friendly with you, not to mention Hu Zongxian, such as Wu Baipeng, Cao Bangfu, Dong Bangzheng, Wang Chonggu, Yu Dayou, Lu Bo......" Qian Zheng carefully analyzed: "In the future, King Yu will be the unification of the throne, and these people will be the pillars of the court...... By the way, there are also Taizhou Tan Lun and Jing Chuan Gong. ”

Qian Yuan nodded secretly, it is true, others don't know, Yu Dayou, Lu Bo and Qi Jiguang are all important generals in the early period of Longqing and Wanli, Tan Lun and Wang Chonggu successively served as the governor of Jiliao and the governor of Xuanda, and the former also served as the secretary of the military department.

Speaking of this, Qian Yuan also understood, Gao Gong is trying to attract talents through Qian Yuan's line, and he doesn't need Qian Yuan to do anything or say anything, in the future, King Yu will ascend the throne, and Qian Yuan's influence will inevitably be reflected.

But after that, Gao Suqing was also taken aback. Qian Zheng couldn't help laughing, "After entering Beijing, I have caused so many troubles repeatedly, and I have met Your Majesty twice, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor." ”

Qian Yuan also smiled cooperatively, but he was still guessing in his heart, what is the relationship between his uncle and Gao Gong?

The next moment, Qian Zheng told the mystery himself.

"Gao Suqing's father is Gao Shangxian, Zhengde 12 years Jinshi, his eldest son Gao Jie, the word Gradual, the number Cunan, Jiajing 14 years Jinshi."

"I see." Qian Yuan finally understood now, he really didn't know that Gao Gong had an eldest brother, Gao Jie, who was also a jinshi, and he was also the same year as his uncle.

……

On Chinese New Year's Eve, not everyone can get together with their families, such as King Yu, even if it is the New Year, he is not allowed to be summoned by Emperor Jiajing, and he can only meet on the first day of the New Year every year.

For this reason, King Yu and King Jing both hated Tao Zhongwen to death, saying that "the two dragons must not see each other", so that the father and son can only see each other once a year.

However, Tao Zhongwen was very trusted by Emperor Jiajing, and was even named "Gongcheng Bo", with 2,000 stones per year.

Yawning again, King Yu looked at Gao Gong in front of him with sleepy eyes, and said reluctantly: "What does Master Gao mean, Qian Zhancai is considered to be under the lonely gate?" ”

"Not bad." Gao Gong explained carefully: "My brother Gao Jie and Qian Zhancai's uncle Qian Zheng are the same year, and they have a very good relationship, and they have been in correspondence all these years.

Gao Gong's expression was calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, he had rejected Chen Yiqin, Hu Zhengmeng, and Yin Shidan's proposal to contact Qian Yuan, claiming that he had his own ideas, and it was precisely because of this origin.

"Shi Baoshan defeated the Taiping Mansion, although he was guilty of meritorious service, but he was also transferred, and it was my brother Gao Jie who took over as the governor of Caojiang, Qian Zheng went north to return to Beijing, and the two had a long talk in Zhenjiang."

"That's good, that's good, I know that Master Gao can do it." King Yu really couldn't hold it anymore, "Lone knows, and I'll hand it over to Master Gao later." ”

Gao Gong stood up respectfully and saluted, "I will live up to the trust of His Highness." ”

"Master Gao, get up." King Yu lifted Gao Gong, "How many times have I said it, Master Gao doesn't need to be polite in private." ”

"Etiquette should not be abolished." Gao Gong smiled and said, "Your Highness, go in and rest, and enter the palace tomorrow to meet Your Majesty." ”

King Yu yawned and walked back, suddenly paused and turned back and said, "Master Gao, go back and let that Qian Zhancai get a few shops, the palace is really tight." ”

Gao Gong was also speechless, he couldn't see Qian Zhancai's governance methods, he couldn't see his great military exploits, and he couldn't see his rich network resources, he could only see that he would make money......
