Gao Pragmatic never thought that he would have one day to be an official of the imperial history.

When he read history in his previous life, he always had a prejudice, thinking that nine out of ten of the officials of the ancient Chinese dynasties were waste, and they boasted of being clear, just knowing that spraying this and that mouthpiece cannon actually couldn't do anything, it was a waste of the court's money.

It's really a good reincarnation in heaven, and this time it's his turn to be a speech official.

The location of the Metropolitan Inspectorate is neither like the Cabinet and the Six Branches, but in Miyagi. It is not like the Governor's Mansion of the Five Ministries and the Five Armies and the Hanlin Academy, which are on the left and right sides of the line of Chengtianmen and Daming Gate, but are located alone in Fucaifang, southwest of Beicheng.

Oh, in fact, it is not alone, because there is Dali Temple in the south of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there is the Criminal Department and the other five departments on the left, which are not together, but arranged here, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple form the famous "Three Law Division".

The Criminal Department of the Ming Dynasty replaced Dali Temple in charge of the main trial business, and Dali Temple became a prudent criminal organ, mainly managing the rejection and rehabilitation of unjust and wrongful cases.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate, on the other hand, has the power to supervise not only the judicial organs, but also the various types of yamen at all levels throughout the country.

Theoretically speaking, the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises the entire Ming officialdom and does not distinguish between civil and military, and the timid imperial history even supervises the emperor and the emperor's domestic slaves together, of course, this is a bit dangerous, and it generally depends on the emperor's temper.

If you encounter a benevolent monarch like Longqing, the supervision of the emperor is serious, and it is nothing more than a demotion, basically the head is still stable, if you meet a violent monarch like Jiajing, the result of supervising the emperor is most likely to start with a court staff, and it is not strange to be killed, and it is difficult to say even if you mix up with Ling Chi.

When the Son of Heaven has not officially taken over the government today, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not strict in its supervision for the time being, in fact, the power to supervise the Son of Heaven is currently in charge of the cabinet.

And since the era of the high arch, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments have stuffed a lot of high arch protégés, of course, this is to control the way of speech, there is nothing worth explaining, just like Wang Guoguang, the old minister of the court who joined the high party halfway, after two or three years of Qingzhang Tianmu in the household department, because he offended too many people, he was also transferred to the imperial history of the left capital, replacing Ge Shouli, an old friend of the previous high arch, and the purpose was still to control the road.

At such a critical moment as the implementation of the New Deal, Gao Gong needs to say that at least don't jump out to make trouble. Guo Pu also held the same attitude after taking over the assistant, because most of the protégés before Gao Gong were promoted, so he promoted some of the protégés he accepted when he presided over the examination in the second year of Wanli to supplement the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, in the current Metropolitan Procuratorate, the High Party or the Practical Party has an advantage.

Gao pragmatic came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take up his new post, and first received a new body, waist badge and official uniform.

When he got the official uniform, Gao Pragmatic was a little crying and laughing, although the fifth to seventh grades wore a cyan official uniform, but he wore a heron complement two days ago, a day ago he wore a white pheasant complement, and today he has changed to a hedgehog complement.

Within three days, the complement on the chest continued to change, and there was no one.

The person who received Gao Pragmatic today was his acquaintance, named Xu Yixing, who was born in the second year of Wanli and was born in the second class of Jinshi and Guo Pu's protégé. Xu Yixing is a native of Shandong, quite tall, but very civilized.

He met Gao Pragmatic, behaved quite affectionately, and introduced him to the various public houses of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but did not take Gao Pragmatic to his public housing, but directly led him to see Wang Guoguang.

This move made Gao Pragmatic a little surprised, and said that I am new to report, shouldn't I arrange an "office" for me first, although there are more than 100 of the Seven Grades of Imperial History in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it must be a collective office of the Grand Public Housing, but I have to arrange a table for me first, why should I go directly to see the Imperial History of Zuo Capital first

When I saw Wang Guoguang, something that surprised Gao Pragmatic even more. As soon as Wang Guoguang saw him, he asked Xu Yixing to go out first to do his own business, and then let Gao Pragmatic sit down.

Next, Wang Guoguang said, "Truth-seeking, you should be able to guess what the reason for this demotion is, so I won't say much else, I just tell you a little bit that the Empress Dowager Rensheng has explained, let the cabinet take care of it, don't really criticize you too much." ”

Most of the upper echelons of the Gao Party know a little about the connection between Gao Pragmatic and Empress Dowager Chen, but they don't know it too carefully, so Wang Guoguang didn't say it too carefully.

Of course, Gao Pragmatic must be grateful on face.

After expressing his loyalty, Wang Guoguang said, "You also know that according to the rules, all new imperial history selections must be sentenced to half a year in the Metropolitan Procuratorate before the actual award, or a one-year trial office. After the expiration of the period, the imperial history of the capital will be assessed, the comments will be recorded, and then the comments will be sent back to the ministry for selection. But you made an exception this time, because the Queen Mother had an explanation, and the cabinet also took care of it, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials also made special arrangements and directly called you as the imperial history. ”

Gao Shishi has been struggling with this matter since yesterday, because it may affect his reputation, and he tentatively asked, "In this way, will it cause an uproar in the government and the opposition, thinking that Yuan Fu and the General Constitution are acting unfairly?"

"I can't talk about it." Wang Guoguang sighed, "There are two reasons, first, your demotion this time is directly related to the emperor's sinful edict, and it is not an accident to have special treatmentSecond, although you are a current scholar, you have previously served in the Hanlin Academy, although you have not yet served one term, but in just three months, you have compiled the Ming Huidian, and you have been promoted two levels in a row with the compilation and repair of the general secretary. ”

Gao pragmatic listened to his analysis like this, and only then was he slightly relieved.

Unexpectedly, Wang Guoguang's next words made his heart rise again, and Wang Guoguang said, "If you want to talk about things that may cause uproar in the government and the opposition, in fact, Yuanfu has also discussed with me, because of the request of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, I have to send you a foreign mission as soon as possible." But at present, there are people in charge of each dispatch, only one Guangxi patrol Hu You is about to vacancy his mother just died, to rush back to his hometown Ding Mu worried, please Ding Wei's song just arrived the day before yesterday, but people are already on the way home, now Guangxi has a lot of chaos, and even is still using soldiers, there is no patrol press so this matter can not be delayed, I was thinking about the candidate, this time don't think about it, I can only let you go, just kill two birds with one stone. ”

Gao pragmatic was taken aback, cold sweat was about to come out, and he hurriedly said, "How important is it to patrol a province, I am a new science and technology scholar, and it is already an exception to transfer the imperial history, and I will send a big difference without any experience, and patrol a province, how to explain it to the past and say that the imperial court has a canonical system, and the northerners do not patrol the south, and the southerners do not patrol the north, so as not to know the customs"

"I don't know what you said," Wang Guoguang smiled bitterly, "There must be a dispatch to send a foreign mission, now there are people in various places, the latest one can be adjusted, and at the beginning of next year, do you think the Empress Dowager Cisheng can bear you until next year?"

Gao Pragmatic swallowed his saliva, let out a long breath, and looked at Wang Guoguang and said, "Although Guangxi has been in chaos for many years, after all, this is a provincial patrol and the general constitution, and the younger generation will not cause public outrage."

Wang Guoguang got up and patted him on the shoulder, "If you do well, you won't be afraid." ”
