On July 19, all the Gao clansmen of the Xinzheng Gao clan in Zhongzhou went out to welcome the coffin of Gao Gong, the most accomplished clansman of the Gao clan so far, to return home.

The Xinzheng Gao clan, the family of eunuchs for generations, the etiquette rules are naturally strict. Gao Pragmatic can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, and he has been accused of turning around, and he feels that he is almost exhausted to death after traveling more than 1,400 miles in a row.

That's not all, I have to stop at home, waiting for the protégés of the Gao family, in-laws and old friends who rushed to attend the funeral from all over the country to say their final goodbyes to Gao Gong, and countless Confucian sages and celebrities who sent sacrifices although they couldn't come

All in all, three words are a lot.

Fortunately, Gao Pragmatic was slightly liberated this time, at least those who came to bid farewell to Gao Gong's body, and there was no need for Gao Pragmatic to kowtow one by one Gao Pragmatic's second brother Gao Wuguan was determined by the clan to pass on to Gao Gong, so now the people who kowtow and can't straighten their waists have been replaced by Gao Wuguan.

However, Gao Wuguan is not a loss, because of the succession to the high arch, he got the grace of the high arch, the official shadow Shang Bao Si Shaoqing.

Gao Pragmatic looked at the second brother who gritted his teeth and insisted on returning the salute to the guests, and secretly said in his heart Brother, if it weren't for your eldest brother and me, you wouldn't be able to mix with Shang Bao Si Shaoqing now, but only with Shang Bao Si Cheng

You know, normally speaking, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Enyin system has been strict, and the concept of high affairs in history is that the normal Enyin is Shang Bao Sicheng, and even Zhang Juzheng is so good, but it is only Enyin's son Shang Bao Sicheng. Therefore, this time the grace of the high view is regarded as a special grace, and it is very, very rare to mention from the sixth grade to the fifth grade, of course, this also has a premise, that is, because Gao Gong was not defeated, he did it alive to the Taishi.

But to be honest, whether it is Shang Bao Si Shaoqing or Shang Bao Si Cheng, in Gao Shishi's view, they are all meaningless redundant officials, because Shang Bao Si is nothing more than responsible for stamping a seal, and he doesn't even need to read the documents, so is it necessary to let the civil officials of the fifth or sixth grades do it

Moreover, the Shang Bao Division is also divided into internal and external divisions, and the eunuchs in the inner court also have a share, which belongs to the Inner Shang Bao Division, and the civil officials of the outer court have another share, which is the current yamen of Gao Wuguan, and there is no other meaning except to express the care for the civil officials.

Therefore, if you are sure that you are admitted to the Jinshi, this official might as well be inappropriate. After all, Enyin Guan has no room for improvement, and the great thing is to be promoted to Taichang Temple, and he can only rely on mixing time to get in, and he will be promoted to one rank after nine years of examination.

This second brother is useless, and I don't know if he will have the courage to resign directly in the future, or go to the Jinshi examination, or start his own business, or not start his own business, it should be said that he came to work for my eldest brother, although he is not an official without grade or rank, but your eldest brother and I are much more generous than my emperor classmate.

In addition to Gao Wuguan's heir, Chengyin Shangbaosi Shaoqing, Gao Gong also earned two places for Xinzheng Gao's family, both of whom are Enyin Guozi supervisors, which are commonly known as "Yin Yizi Guozi Zijian", saying that it is "a son", but in fact, it may not be a son, a nephew, or even a grandson or nephew.

However, when Gao Pragmatic came back and asked, no one in the clan was willing to go.

It's not that the descendants of the Gao family are unwilling, on the contrary, everyone thinks that most of the current Guozi supervisors are messing around, and there are very few who are really willing, so the Guozi supervisor's learning style is not good, and it is better to go to the Guozijian to study at home, and the Gao clan study seems to be more reliable than the Guozijian.

There is no way to be pragmatic about this, but it doesn't matter, this place can be retained, but there seems to be no clear rule on how long it can be retained. But it doesn't matter, Gao Pragmatic feels that with his own presence, his brothers and even his future nephews probably don't need to care about the identity of a national prisoner.

It took several days to get the funeral of Gao Gong finally completed.

Standing in front of the high-arched grave, Gao pragmatic mood was a little low. suddenly remembered what the third uncle said to him.

"I arch myself to ask myself wholeheartedly for the country, and why is I afraid of foul language and pragmatism, you must remember to look ahead, worry and ridicule, this generation may be able to steal the official reputation at the time, but it is rare to be famous in the world, open up the atmosphere first, this generation may be attacked at the time, but will be a thousand years to praise life in the world, grass and trees in a few autumns, why to leave traces as a shadow is neither power, nor wealth You have Guangxia Wan, sleep nothing more than a bed for you to have good land, buried bones but one side. After thousands of years, there are only two kinds of loyalty and treachery. ”

Third uncle, with what you have done in this life, you should be an undisputed loyal minister

As for the hope of the world, you have done it all.

Rest in peace, Sams. The rest is left to my nephew.

My nephew is not filial, and he is greatly favored by you, but he can't be filial piety for you for three years. However, it is not this that you always care about, but what your nephew is going to do. As for Xiaolu's side, Wuguan is now your heir, and he will accompany you for three years.

Third uncle, you don't know, in my original history, Zhang Juzheng was later said to have extended the life of the Ming Dynasty for fifty years. Regardless of whether this is reasonable or not, but he has been working for ten years Wanlifu, and he only gave Daming a fifty-year life, but his nephew believes that you have done it for six years, and at least you have given Daming another sixty years, which is a little better than Zhang Juzheng.

Hehe, maybe you didn't want to fight for this for a long time, or maybe you didn't plan to fight in the first place, otherwise, why were you so excited to learn the news of Zhang Juzheng's depressed death?

But you don't need to feel any guilt, because I know that's all he can do for Da Ming, it's really not as good as you and me.

Now that my teacher is in charge of the DPRK, his health is very good, and as long as he does not resign and can still work for many years, the results of your reform will definitely be preserved, and even continue to advance.

It's just that I don't know if my uncle will be able to take over as an assistant in the future, although I deliberately sent Li Shizhen to Beijing, but he said that my uncle was weak and weak, and his physical vitality has long been injured, if he can keep his mind calm, he may be able to live for a few more years, and if there are too many joys and sorrows.

Alas, I don't know if my grandparents will die one after another as in the original history, if it is still like this, I am afraid that my uncle will inevitably be sad and sad in the end, you said, should I invite Li Shizhen to go to Puzhou and show my grandparents and grandmothers

But Uncle San, don't worry, even if my uncle's fate is still the same as in history, I will be fine, I have spent so much thought and made so many preparations, even if the power of the "Gao Party" is cut off for ten years, there will be no accidents

I will definitely be able to redeem the fate of the Ming Dynasty and make the tragedy of China's sinking not repeat.

Uncle San, your heroic spirit is not far away, please believe in me and bless me
