Guo Pu's words, Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to take it.

Wu Dui is not Gao Gong's protégé, he donated money to enter the Guozijian in his early years, when Gao Gong was in charge of the Guozijian, he took a fancy to him, devoted himself to training, and personally trained him, which led to the later Wu Jinshi - this is very understandable, he had to donate money to enter the Guozijian before, how high can the level be?

This is very different from other high arch students, so when Gao Gong was forced to resign by Xu Jie, so many students did not dare to send Gao Gong in the situation of "full dynasty inverted arch" at that time, only Wu Dui was sent all the way to the suburbs.

It's not that Wu Dui is not afraid of death, but he knows the weight of Gao Gong's kindness to him, and it can be said that without Gao Gong, he would not have Wu Dui's Jinshi status. Others have not received the grace of Gao Gong's teaching, but he has received it, so if he does not send Gao Gong, his conscience is too condemned.

Of course, this can only show the closeness between Wu Dui and the Gao family, and it does not mean that Gao Shishi, the "world brother", will definitely "dare not be", the reason why he "dare not be" is mainly because Wu Dui is too old and old, but he is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 38 years, and he is 56 years old this year.

Although according to the rules of this era, when they meet in a private capacity, Wu Dui wants to call Gao Pragmatic "Brother Shi", but the seniority and age of the people are here, how dare Gao Shishi put on a shelf? Being able to be a little junior brother honestly is already a high arch and a big face.

Gao Pragmatic didn't even dare to say it, Guo Pu just teased it, and then said: "The matter of Liu Wei and Deng Zilong is easy to handle, whether you go to Wu Junze or simply go to the emperor, you can solve it." However, this kind of thing is best for the cabinet to come forward, and the old man will help you do this, which is almost the last thing the old man can do for you. ”

Gao was stunned: "You want to resign?" ”

In fact, Guo Pu has resigned almost ten times, but the resignation of important ministers in this era is often just an indication of attitude, whether it can be successful, it depends on whether the emperor approves it or not, obviously the emperor does not plan to approve it now, or the two palaces do not agree to the emperor's approval.

But Guo Pu said this, which shows that he is really sure to resign - there are other ways to resign, such as asking to see the queen mother or the emperor of the two palaces in person, or talking about his parents.

Guo Pu's father is no longer there, but his old mother is in good health, and now she can go out for a walk every day.

After all, although the old lady is in good health, her age is always there, and it is not certain when she will leave, maybe she will be fine in the morning, and she will sit there at noon, and she may leave in the blink of an eye. People are sometimes like this when they are old, so Guo Pu hopes that he can accompany his old mother on her last journey.

The highly pragmatic teacher Guo is definitely not as good as his predecessor Gao Gong in terms of talent, but in terms of personal conduct, he does not lose to anyone, and he is really a filial son.

Sure enough, Guo Pu said: "Yes, the old man is seventy this year, and he is already in his prime, so it's time to retire." Besides, Jiaci will be ninety years old next year, and if he doesn't go back to be a son, do you still have to wait for his longevity? ”

Period, refers to centenarians, and they basically dare not think about it in this era, so Guo Pu's reason is very hard.

Gao Pragmatic knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to say: "Next year, the old lady will have a birthday, and the students will definitely be there." ”

Who knows what Guo Pu waved his hand and said: "What are you going to do, I am a small place there, but I can't tolerate the hundreds of families you take with you wherever you go, and there will be no place to stand at that time, don't trample on my few acres of thin fields." Although it is not worth a few dollars, it is also handed down from the ancestors, and it cannot be destroyed in the hands of the old man. ”

Gao Pragmatic was a little embarrassed, so he had to change the topic and said: "Speaking of which, students also have a lot of industries in Henan, and Weihui is not far south of Anyang, so let the world brother ......."

Guo Pu waved his hand again and again: "Don't meddle in these things!" Although the descendants of the Guo family are not successful, they can still do it to be Mr. Xixi in Anyang, and they can still do it without starving to death on the streets. ”

That's right, and although Mr. Guo is not greedy, his salary and allowance are high, and the retirement of officials in the Ming Dynasty is also according to the level before retirement, and the Guo family is relatively small, Guo Pu's "pension" alone can feed the family, and it is impossible to starve to death.

As for the future, after Guo Pu's death...... When the time comes, I will look at the situation and help out, anyway, it seems that with Mr. Guo here, he will not charge himself a tael of silver.

But Gao Pragmatic was still a little depressed, and said gloomily: "The student has just come back, and he has to be separated from the teacher, which is really sentimental......"

Guo Pu has taught him for seven or eight years, and naturally he also has feelings, and Gao Pragmatic is indeed his most successful student - the champion of the six heads, there is no way to be more successful, he listened to Gao Pragmatic, and sighed, and said: "There is no banquet in the world, as long as you remember the teachings of the teacher, you will be innocent as an official in this life, and you will be satisfied with the government in the future."

After all, he was open-minded, and when he said this, he smiled and comforted Gao Shipra: "Besides, Anyang is the only way for you to return to Xinzheng, and when you go back in the future, if you are still in the world for the teacher, you can also go to me for a few days - but after that, a few hundred families will be counted, and the teacher will not be entertained." ”

Gao Pragmatic was amused by him, and said: "Okay, okay, Ming'er students will let the people below buy land not far from the teacher's mansion, build a few chase rooms, and let the family settle down in the future." ”

"Nonsense." Guo Pu knew that he was joking, and waved his hand: "Let's not mention these things yet, while the teacher hasn't left yet, if you still have anything to help the teacher, you might as well talk about it." ”

"Well...... Gao Pragmatic really couldn't think of anything that Guo Pu had to help with now, not that there was nothing to do, but that Guo Pu could help before leaving, but it didn't seem to be much, because most of Gao Pragmatic's things needed to be laid out, not temporary.

Guo Pu saw him hesitate, so he said: "Since you can't think of it, then don't worry, although the teacher has to leave, it is estimated that it will not be decided in a day or two, you will think about it after you go back today, and then tell the teacher after you think about it." ”

But at this time, Gao Pragmatic remembered something important, and hurriedly asked: "Teacher, after you leave, will the cabinet add a minister?" ”

Guo Pu heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and said, "Are you worried about Feng Pan? ”

Gao pragmatic said: "Although after you leave, your uncle should be the first assistant, but there are only four people left in the cabinet at that time, although Xu Ge is my third uncle's protégé, but he is from Huizhou......"

The north and the south are not a big problem, but I have to say that in this era, because of the Jinshi list, the Jinshi in the South List looked down on the Jinshi in the North List a little - except for Gao Shishi, because they were tested together in the end - so when they were officials, there would also be a township party.

The smaller township party is the same county, the same prefecture, and the same province, while the largest township party is the same as the south and north lists. Xu Guo's hometown is one of the fundamental places of mental learning.

And Xu Guo as a whole is a bit of a slippery shoulder—that is, a little slippery, not the kind of strong-willed person with an unusually clear and firm political attitude like Gao Gong and Guo Pu.

Guo Pu shook his head and said, "This matter is not easy to handle now. Shen Rumo, don't look at his usual amiable and quiet work, in fact, he is a bit like Xu Jie, who seems to have been giving in, but in fact, he is just giving in to some corners, which is not the key point at all, but his concession will make it difficult for us to tear our faces with him......

However, you don't have to worry, let's tell you this for the teacher, if Wang Xijue didn't return to his hometown to take care of his father, after the teacher left this time, Tingtui estimated that he would be the leader. But he went back to his hometown, and heard that his father was seriously ill and might not survive this year, so within three years, Wang Xijue didn't have to worry. ”

Gao Shishi went through the Beijing Central Committee in his mind and asked, "Who could that be?" Senior Brother Wu should still lack qualifications, right? ”

Of course, Wu Dui's qualifications as an official outside are very sufficient, but the problem is that his qualifications as a Beijing official are very insufficient, and Da Sima has only worked for more than a year, so it is estimated that Tingtui will not be very dramatic.

Sure enough, Guo Pu shook his head again and again, and said, "Where can I get Wu Junze's turn?" Even if everything goes well for him, it is estimated that he will have to stay up for another two or five years, and during this period, he will probably have to change the yamen, so that he is about sixty years old, and he may still have a chance to enter the cabinet. ”

This is the disadvantage of foreign appointments, the qualifications of Beijing officials are insufficient, and the disadvantages of Tingtui are too great - most of the ministers who are qualified to Tingtui, such as the cabinet elders and Jiuqing, have been Beijing officials for a long time, you are a foreign official, how can you be familiar with them? How can it be your turn to be recommended? There are more Hanlin scholars who people know, and who to recommend is not to push, of course, it is to recommend that you are familiar with it.

"Who could that be?"

Guo Pu smiled: "Pan Shuilian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been working for a while, and his qualifications are enough, he is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years, and more importantly, he has been biased towards the school of practical learning all these years, but he is a native of Zhejiang, so he is leveled, it can be regarded as a neutral faction." Let him be added to the cabinet, we don't have to worry, Shen Rumo and they don't have to worry, they are all happy. ”

Oh, Pan Sheng...... It's not impossible, but it's a joy for everyone, and it's just a neutralizing candidate that is barely acceptable to both sides.

However, Pan Sheng is not bad for himself, no matter what his reasons are, this is still good news.

It seems that with the departure of the teacher, the cabinet is about to enter a roughly evenly matched situation.

Zhang Siwei and Xu Guo are the two big watchmen of the Shi School, and the opposite Xin School is Shen Shixing and Yu Youding, and finally there is a Pan Sheng who will most of them remain neutral.
