Chapter 159 - Asking for a Position
Although Sun Shenxing said this, Gao Panlong's face still did not look good.
Let yourself go to the Ministry of War to find Sun Chengzong, the biggest possibility is to let yourself go to Sun Chengzong, and also let Sun Chengzong protect himself.
The reason why Sun Shenxing did this was because Sun Shenxing couldn't save himself.
Judging from the current situation, his side has been purged, so there are only two people left, himself and Sun Shenxing, will those people let them go?
Whether it is coveting the position of the two of them or fearing that he and Sun Shen will retaliate, stepping on the end is the best choice. So the two of them will face more attacks, which is already a certainty.
Now we should not think about fighting back, but how to protect ourselves.
Sun Shenxing has always had more ideas, and now he actually let himself go to Sun Chengzong, which means that Sun Shenxing has no idea, he has no confidence to protect himself, or he no longer has the confidence to keep himself and himself.
What does this mean?
This means that Sun Shenxing felt that it was difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river, so he would say such things.
I asked Sun Shenxing if things were really so bad, although Sun Shenxing said that he was prepared, but in fact the situation was already so bad.
The position of the Ministry of Rites is too crucial, why does everyone think so?
Because there is one power in the hands of the Ministry of Rites, and that is to educate.
The so-called practice of education is to be in charge of education throughout the country, and at the same time to hold imperial examinations in various places, which are all under the control of the Ministry of Rites.
Therefore, the position of the Ministry of Rites is very important, and the imperial examination will be held next year, and no one will leave that position to Sun Shenxing, so Sun Shenxing is ready for the day when he is attacked and resigns. The most important thing is, does Your Majesty still want Sun Shenxing to do it?
Seeing Gao Panlong's faint gaze, Sun Shenxing said with a smile: "There is no need to be like this, we should have thought that there would be this day a long time ago, so it is not a big deal." If I'm gone, you have to keep yourself. ”
"Now that the court is in charge, the powerful ministers are powerful, and the gelding is rampant, I have more than enough heart but not enough strength, but there will always be a day when the clouds will see the day, so you have to wait for the opportunity in the military department, and at the same time unite people with lofty ideals as much as possible to wait for tomorrow."
After listening to Sun Shenxing's words, Gao Panlong stood up, saluted him respectfully, and said, "I will go, I believe that you will also come back one day." When the time comes, we will assist the Ming monarch, cleanse the court, and return the Ming to Qingping. ”
Sun Shenxing nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know if I can come back, but there is one thing I want to tell you, and that is to do a good job." Even if you can't come back, I'll be very happy if you can do it one day. ”
After bidding farewell to Sun Shenxing, Gao Panlong left his house and rushed directly to Sun Chengzong's mansion.
There are a lot of people coming and going, and there are a lot of people who hand over the prayer post every day, but not everyone can see Sun Chengzong.
Someone saw Sun Chengzong and left happily; Some people can't see Sun Chengzong, and they don't give up and wander at the gate of Sun's mansion every day.
Sun Chengzong is now a cabinet scholar, so naturally he will not be easy to see people; Even if he is not a cabinet scholar, Sun Chengzong will not easily meet them on weekdays.
Everyone is not on the same road at all, not to mention that Sun Chengzong was just taken by His Majesty and used it, so he engaged in the party and private business, where did he put His Majesty?
The homes of several other cabinet scholars were also the same as Sun Chengzong's family, although there were always people wandering, but the cabinet scholars did not see them very often.
However, Gao Panlong is naturally different, when he comes to Sun Chengzong's house, he will naturally be received.
In the hall of the back house, Sun Chengzong saw Gao Panlong.
Seeing Gao Panlong's depressed look, Sun Chengzong probably knew what the reason was, but he didn't say anything about it, because he really didn't know how to say it.
Things have come to this point, and there is no room for change.
Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen did not die, which is already the biggest achievement, and it is basically impossible to protect others.
Especially in order to protect Yang Lian, many people are running for him, but Sun Chengzong knows that there is no drama at all.
Sun Chengzong looked at Han Yi's interrogation records, and Han Yi did not give Yang Lian a chance, but gave Yang Lian a chance to defend himself. As long as Yang Lian confesses people, whether it is for Zou Yuanbiao or Gao Panlong, everything is fine.
It's just that Yang Lian didn't speak, so he ended up like this. At this time, there is no point in going to the palace to intercede.
This incident made Sun Chengzong very dissatisfied with Gao Panlong.
In Sun Chengzong's view, Yang Lian is a victim, the whole thing was caused by Gao Panlong and Zou Yuanbiao, and it has little to do with Yang Lian, but now it is Yang Lian who is behind the blame, and even died immediately for this.
Zou Yuanbiao is dead, let's not talk about this, it is Gao Panlong who makes people's hearts cold. These days, Gao Panlong has never been in the question book, nor has he run for Yang Lian.
There is also Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, they have done a lot of things, but they did not save Yang Lian. They threw the pot to Han Yi, forcing Han Yi to only be able to do business.
In the end, things got to this point, making the emperor dissatisfied with the ministers, and the cabinet was completely purged, even the military department and the household department were all involved.
If it weren't for Sun Shenxing and Gao Panlong, they would have been selfish for their own selfishness, and things would not have reached this point.
Sun Chengzong knew all of this, but he couldn't say it. Sun Chengzong had been in charge once before, and he hadn't been in charge since that time. In this world, it is impossible for him to take care of it anymore.
If Gao Panlong and Sun Shenxing really have a conscience, then they should reach out and pull Yang Lian. But neither of them did so.
Although Sun Chengzong met Gao Panlong, he just wanted to hear what Gao Panlong wanted to say.
After the two of them met each other, the guests and hosts sat down, and the tea was quickly served.
Sun Chengzong opened his mouth and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Yun coming over from today?" ”
"Back to the old pavilion, there are indeed some things." Gao Panlong opened his mouth and said: "I heard that Your Majesty asked the elder cabinet to select the personnel of the military department, although the subordinate is not talented, he wants to go to the military department to try. Gu Youmao recommended himself, and I naturally want to follow the example of the sages, so I came to see the elder of the pavilion today, and I want the elder to think about it. ”
Gao Panlong's straightforwardness made Sun Chengzong stunned.
Is it all like this now?
After looking Gao Panlong up and down, Sun Chengzong opened his mouth and said, "I don't know which position you have your eye on?" ”
"Isn't there still a shortage of squires in the military department?" Gao Panlong opened his mouth and said, "Xia Guan feels that he can do it. ”
Sun Chengzong did not speak. The Squire of the Military Department......
For Gao Panlong, Sun Chengzong naturally understands.
Gao Panlong, a jinshi in the seventeenth year of Wanli, returned home to guard filial piety after his father's funeral. In the twentieth year of Wanli, he was appointed as a pedestrian division.
In the twenty-second year of Wanli, Gao Panlong was involved in the impeachment of the first auxiliary Wang Xijue, and was demoted to the history of Jieyang in Guangdong.
In the second year, he resigned and returned home, and rebuilt Donglin Academy with Gu Xiancheng's brothers, and lectured at home for more than 20 years.
It was not until the first emperor ascended the throne that Gao Panlong was reactivated, and was appointed by the first emperor as the Cheng of Guanglu Temple, and then transferred to the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.
With such qualifications and such a service experience, how can you have the confidence to be a squire in the military department?
See what he's done?
What contributions did he make for the imperial court?
When he first entered the officialdom, Gao Panlong immediately published "Today's First Priority", saying that if he wanted to change the precarious situation of the imperial dynasty, he must first get the original book, and secondly, he must "eliminate torture and killing", "raise the court to speak", "use the ministers", and "issue internal funds" to reform politics.
Take a look at these ones:
In addition to torture, simply put, it means that the punishment cannot be done by the doctor;
Speaking in the court, your majesty, you have to go to us every day to give lectures;
With the minister, who is the minister, you see I just got on the book;
Hair money, Emperor, you quickly take out all the money in your small treasury, let us all spend it.
If the emperor agrees to these policies, it is strange, so he ignored him at all.
Then Gao Panlong ran to impeach the first assistant of the cabinet, and then he was reprimanded and went home, and then he became the Guanglu Temple Cheng directly, and then became the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.
What is it?
This is a mouth cannon promotion!
On the contrary, the officials who are down-to-earth and step by step up are all below. In such a situation, who would choose to do things in a down-to-earth manner?
It's good for everyone to talk about it, anyway, after the new monarch comes up, that's when we will soar. It didn't even take that time for these people to soar.
The person who talks about the cannon is also provided by everyone in the locality, and his reputation spreads all over the world, and it is stupid not to do this kind of good deed.
But how can such a person contribute to the country?
A person who has been teaching at home for more than 20 years, has no experience in governing a place at all, and has never been in the army.
Sun Chengzong really didn't know what to say, he really wanted to kick the other party out, but he couldn't.
The other party's qualifications are too high, how many students have he taught over the years? For more than 20 years, how many of his students have served in what places?
I don't know that if I blast Gao Panlong out like this, then I guess I will slander the whole world.
But can he agree to let Gao Panlong be the position of the squire of the military department?
Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly in his heart.
How could he say yes? What is the current form of the DPRK and China? If I report it like this, what will Your Majesty think?
Besides, Gao Panlong doesn't even have this ability at all, if he reports it, what will others think?
When the time comes, the hat of forming a party for personal gain will definitely not be able to run, what should I do?
But still refuse.
Although it was very difficult, Sun Chengzong also knew that he couldn't refuse it, so he said: "There are more people now, I need to think about this matter, and I also need to discuss it with several other cabinet elders." ”
As soon as he heard this, Gao Panlong knew that it was a matter of coping, and his face was a little unpleasant
For Gao Panlong, Sun Chengzong is his junior, whether it is in the officialdom, in the East Forest Farm, or in the Shilin, Sun Chengzong is his junior.
He is willing to give Sun Chengzong a hand, which is already quite face-saving for him. At such a time, Sun Chengzong actually rejected himself?
Gao Panlong stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then so be it!" ”
After saying this, Gao Panlong turned around and walked outside, and at a glance, he knew that he was very dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong stood in place, looking at Gao Panlong who left, his brows furrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
