Zhu Yijun's words were a bit surprising to Gao Shishi. There is no "pit" in Xuanda Shanxi, and there is no "radish" in it, and it is impossible to vacate a position for Gao Shishi to go up, so the meaning of "you go" can only be to preside over this matter as a messenger.

But there is a problem here, that is, Gao Pragmatic has already been sent to preside over the Shanxi Township Test.

In the eyes of future generations, the importance of presiding over the township examination may not be comparable to that of my death, let alone its impact. But in fact, in the eyes of the Ming people, presiding over a provincial township test is much more important than being a canonized king of Shunyi.

For the township test, the test site is set up in the provincial capital of each province, that is, the location of the Yamen of the Political Division, and the test site of the north and south Zhili is set up in Yingtian and Shuntian respectively, that is, Beijing and Nanjing in later generations. Before the examination, each political secretary and the second capital government hired two chief examiners and four examiners.

The responsibilities of the examiner are to produce the questions, review the papers, decide the admission list, arrange the rankings and report to the Ministry of Etiquette, while the examiner is responsible for assisting in the writing of questions and reviewing the papers.

The chief examiners of this year's Shanxi Township Examination are Gao Pragmatic and Sun Jigao.

This is a somewhat unexpected arrangement, because with the advent of this arrangement, there has been a little institutional change in the appointment of examiners for the township examination.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the chief examiner of the northern and southern Beijing township examinations stipulated that Hanlin officials should be used, and the provinces should use both instructors and senior citizens. In the third year of Jingtai, the examiners of Dingliangjing Township still used Hanlin, but the examiners of the provinces no longer used "Confucian", and only the political secretary and the judge were elected under the age of 50 and over 30 years old among the instructors in the province, and "those who are proficient in literature and humble on weekdays" were filled.

This regulation was originally intended to allow the examiner to win people, but the examiner was recommended by the cloth, the second division and the patrol according to the imperial history, and the instructor was originally humble, so he could not but take care of the boss's entrustment, and some even took the initiative to be courteous, causing the candidates to have different opinions. As a result, some people kept suggesting that Beijing officials should be sent to the provinces to take the township examination, so as to ask for help.

So in the seventh year of Jiajing, Sejong adopted the advice of the scholar Zhang Xuan, and each province sent two Jingguan or Jinshi to the main examination, but only two subjects were performed, and they were stopped due to etiquette disputes with the invigilator.

In the original history, it was not until the 11th year of Wanli that the Ministry of Rites re-raised this issue, and finally ordered: Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Huguang, the four provinces with more readers, were edited and reviewed by Hanlin, and the other provinces sent six subjects to the main examination of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites. The same examiner also asked to be served by the government magistrate and the magistrate from the Jinshi, and the instructor was only "intermittent" and embellished.

However, what happened in the eleventh year of Wanli in history has now advanced to the tenth year of Wanli, and the steps are even bigger.

If you think about it carefully, it is not surprising, because in history, Zhang Juzheng died in the tenth year of Wanli, and in the following year, Zhu Yijun began to counterattack, and at the same time put some things that he thought should be reformed on the agenda. When later generations mentioned Zhu Yijun's liquidation of Zhang Juzheng, they said that he was against the New Deal, but in fact, this statement obviously carries the political atmosphere of a certain period.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Yijun had already had enough political opinions under Zhang Juzheng's extremely strict and even extremely strict imperial education, and he was already able to judge for himself which measures were necessary and which measures were problematic. So when he became disillusioned with Zhang Juzheng, he began to prove through various actions: Without you Zhang Juzheng, I can still govern the Ming Dynasty!

But soon, Zhu Yijun found that the reality was different from what he imagined, and the civilian-bureaucratic clique did not cooperate with him at all, especially the dispute over the national capital, which escalated this lack of cooperation into confrontation and conflict.

Zhu Yijun began to try to find a good way to deal with the two generations of emperors from his father and grandfather, and finally he was disappointed to find that he could not simply imitate his father or grandfather.

His father, Emperor Longqing, has always been known for his benevolence, and his philosophy of governing the country is very simple, just as he confessed when he was dying: If there is something difficult to decide, just ask Mr. Gao.

But since the incident of Zhang Juzheng - this emperor who usually taught him to be frugal and extravagant, he himself was so extravagant that he, the emperor, could not imagine it - Zhu Yijun couldn't believe those courtiers who looked even inferior to Zhang Juzheng.

My father has Mr. Gao, who will be my Mr. Gao? Can't learn.

So, the grandfather of the emperor? Wanli shook his head again, this emperor's power skills are not unskillful, but what is the name behind him? The world only remembers Hai Rui's words: The people of the world have not been straight to Your Majesty for a long time, and the internal and external ministers know it!

People all over the world think that you are not a good emperor! The ministers inside and outside know about it!

When Hai Rui wrote this "Public Security Sparse", Jiajing had not yet "covered the coffin", but this sentence was "conclusive"!

It can be seen that the emperor's grandfather's power skills can't be learned, otherwise sooner or later he will be "the people of the world are not straight Your Majesty for a long time", and he will live in Tianshou Mountain in the future, how to talk back to the ancestors of the past dynasties?

Zhu Yijun is as smart as Jiajing, but he is not as rigid or even selfish as Jiajing, but he is not as open-minded as Longqing to be able to "tired Mr. the world", so in the end he can only choose to be an ostrich - whatever you do, I think things are necessary, I will deal with them, and I will not reply to things that I think are unnecessary.

In later generations, it was often said that Wanli did not go to the court and did not take care of the government, and there was a shortage of a large number of officials in the court, and the central organs almost came to a standstill.

This is amazing, the central institutions have come to a standstill, and they can still win the three major battles?

In fact, most of the officials who are lacking in the center are some scientific and Taoist officials, as well as idle officials who have little difference between some people and no one.

The center of the court of the Wanli Dynasty, how could it have been "at a standstill" one day? Major events such as the police on the frontier and domestic disasters, Zhu Yijun's holy decree has always been approved and issued in place as soon as possible, often delivered to the General Administration Department on the first day, and Zhu Zhu's approval from the celebrant came down the next day - how can it be efficient?

In fact, Zhu Yijun is very similar to his contemporary, King Philip II of Spain, both of whom are "I'm sorry I don't have time to meet you, please write to me to explain what you want to express, and please try to be as concise as possible."

The only difference is that Philip II would be annoyed and complain when he saw some useless letters, while Zhu Yijun couldn't even find a person to complain about.

In this life, there is no Zhang Juzheng's "righteous person who is not righteous" emperor, replaced by a more "calf-protective" Gao Gong and a very upright Guo Pu, Zhu Yijun did not experience the taste of betrayal, he is now focused on the previous day Gao Pragmatic and the sentence he mentioned: Now is the real Wanli era!

It is precisely because of this that what happened in the eleventh year of Wanli in the original history was advanced to the tenth year of Wanli.

Now, using a high-ranking official at the level of a scholar of the Hanlin Academy like Gao Pragmatic to preside over the Shanxi Township Examination has never been done in history, how is it not a big deal?

Even for Zhu Yijun, this is also the important task of sublimating the "high-arch reform" to the "Wanli New Deal", and the holy decree has been issued, how can it be changed at will?

At this time, Zhu Yijun saw that Gao Shishi's face was different, and he also thought that he might have misunderstood, so he hurriedly said: "Don't delay the township test, or you and Sun Jigao go, Sun Jigao's side I will send someone to tell him, let him work harder, and if you say, you will be responsible for the question, the middle and the ranking." ”

"Then what did the emperor say that I asked me to go to Mongolia?" Gao asked pragmatically.

"I replied that I am dead, for such a big matter, the Mongols will definitely hold a Kuritai conference, which is not something that can be convened in a while...... If you look at the territory of Alta over the years, you will know that Yongshebu in the east, his Tumut headquarters in the middle, and Dongtao, Xitao and Qinghai in the west, these are all territories and tribes controlled by Alta, since they are going to hold the Kuritai Conference, they will definitely send people to come, this coming and going, normally it will take about two months, and the township test will have been completed at that time. ”

Gao pragmatically said: This is good, I have only been back in Beijing for half a year, and I have been "transferred to a foreign position", and after these two things are completed, it is estimated that at least half a year has passed......

However, the emperor trusted Zhisi, and the resignation must not be shirked, so Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to receive the order and thank him.

After finishing the business, Gao Pragmatic was about to end His Majesty's meeting and leave, but Zhu Yijun stopped him and stopped talking with a hesitant expression.

Why do you look constipated?

Gao Shishi couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw his look, and quipped: "Your Majesty, if you weren't for the Ninety-Five, just looking at your expression, the minister would have to borrow money from the minister for you." ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, obviously he was relatively unfamiliar with the word "borrowing money", and then he reacted and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, what am I borrowing money for?" ”

Gao pragmatically said: That's not necessarily, your Spanish counterpart, I don't know how much I borrowed, I have been insolvent several times, I think in the future, when you fight the three major expeditions, if you are short of money, it doesn't matter if you ask me to borrow some, it's okay if you don't even come out, take a few edicts, seal a few pieces of wild land where birds don't and give me. What's more, you don't have to take out that wild land yourself, just give me a name and go myself.

Zhu Yijun didn't know that Gao Pragmatic had wandered to 108,000 miles away, and when he saw him smiling and silent, he had no choice but to turn pale, and said with a wry smile: "Yao Yuan is also about to be married, I have already planned to make her the princess of Yongning, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng has already begun to plan to find her a concubine...... She wants to see you. ”

She wants to see me? Which she, you can make it clear, is it the princess or the queen mother?

Gao Pragmatic didn't want to ask directly, turned a corner, and asked with a surprised face: "The Queen Mother wants to see the ministers?" ”

"It's not the Queen Mother, what does the Queen Mother do when she sees you? It's Yao Yuan who wants to see you. Zhu Yijun said angrily.

Gao Shishi was taken aback: "Her Royal Highness the princess wants to see me...... See the ministers? He hurriedly confirmed: "Does the Queen Mother know?" ”

Zhu Yijun's face became even more stinky: "How could the Queen Mother know, who would dare to tell her?" Yao Yuan came to me quietly, saying that I must see you before the wedding, I ...... Alas, I really don't want to agree, but she begged bitterly, what can I, my own brother, say? ”

Gao Shishi's face fell, and he said in his heart: So you sold me? Last time, this little princess wrote a poem, and I was sent to Guangxi to feed mosquitoes for a year.
