Chapter 159: Big Killer!
Whether Gu Xiancheng's position is Gao Pragmatic's arrangement, Yang Tianguan will obviously find out for a while, but when he recalls Gu Xiancheng's career trajectory, it is hard to believe that Gao Pragmatic did not play some kind of role in it-such as the black hand hidden behind the scenes, although it cannot be seen, it must feel its great power.
Among the officials, the largest is Shangshu, followed by the left and right attendants, and these three are called Tang Shangguan. Below is the Lang Zhong of the four divisions, which is equivalent to the directors of later generations. These four Qing Officials Division are the Literature and Selection Division, the Seal Inspection Division, the Auditing Division, and the Examination Division.
Although the four divisions are parallel units, the status of these four divisions is very different. Among them, the most powerful are the Anthology Division and the Examination Division.
Why is it amazing? The Department of Literature and Anthology is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of personnel, and is responsible for the evaluation of officials.
Although there are very few official officials in these two divisions, no one has ever dared to provoke them, because as long as you are an official, whether you are promoted or dismissed, developed or bankrupt, basically depends on their thoughts.
Not to mention such a "feudal dynasty" as the Ming Dynasty, even if you are in the later generations, the organization minister talks to you, won't you be elated? But if you talk to you instead of the Commission for Discipline Inspection S Ji, even if you have no ghost in your heart, you will have to be frightened, for fear that you will accidentally make something wrong, right?
Because of this, most of the officials and servants of the Ming Dynasty, except for the "airborne" players assigned by Emperor Chenduan, were taken over by Lang Zhong of the Literature and Gong Division.
And Yang Wei remembers very well that Gu Xiancheng's career resume is like this:
In the eighth year of Wanli, he was on the high school gold list, ranked second in the second class of the court examination, and was selected as a Jishi through the museum. After the disbandment, he stayed in Beijing because of his excellent grades and was appointed as the head of the household department.
In the tenth year of Wanli, he was the head of the Ministry of Reform, but soon after that, he asked for leave to worry about it, and this time it was three years.
In the thirteenth year of Wanli, Gu Xiancheng returned to the imperial court on leave, and was the head of the sealing department of the Ministry of Supplements. It stands to reason that the real power has greatly decreased from the Examination Division to the Seal Inspection Division, but as a supplementary official, he is already very lucky to be able to stay in Beijing, where can he force others.
However, a miraculous situation occurred, and within three months, Gu Xiancheng was promoted to Wailang, the member of the Examination Division-this is the deputy position of the Examination Division, second only to Lang Zhong, and it is also the position that Gu Xiancheng still holds.
Judging from Yang Wei's decades of officialdom experience, there are only three possibilities for Gu Xiancheng to appear in this situation.
The first is called Jane in the Emperor's Heart: the emperor was very impressed with him, and only three months after returning to Beijing, he was immediately promoted to an official before his ass was hot. And it's not just a simple promotion, it's also a change from a cold bench to a hot bench.
The second type is called someone in the court: there is a big man above to take care of him, and this big man can also say a lot in a sensitive yamen like the ministry, one of the most popular positions in the world, and he can give it when the old man says it.
The third is called stepping on shit: well, it's a lucky job, so let's just say it. Moreover, judging from today's situation, Yang Tianguan definitely doesn't believe that Gu Xiancheng just took shit luck.
Is Gu Xiancheng Jian in the emperor's heart? It doesn't look like much. The standard of "Jane in the Emperor's Heart" is now very high - look at the people's high pragmatism, that is called Jane in the Emperor's Heart. is also the gold list of Wanli for eight years, Gao Pragmatic is now an official residence, and he is a dignified prince and a scholar!
Look at Wang Xijue, this is already an elder, and the title is only the prince and the prince, and he is still a loss of pragmatism.
Therefore, with Gao Pragmatic Zhuyu in front, although Gu Xiancheng can always mix with real power and important positions, he does not dare to compliment this promotion speed, and no matter how you look at it, it has not reached the level of "Jane is in the emperor's heart".
In this way, the only possibility is the second one, Gu Xiancheng "there are people in the DPRK".
However, although Gu Xiancheng has some literary names, but now that Donglin Academy has not yet appeared, who can he take care of in the court? There are fewer and fewer neutral factions in the DPRK and China, and the bigwigs are either from the real school or the heart school, even if there are occasional neutral bigwigs, but when they see Gu Xiancheng grabbing the "Wang Xuejing" at every turn, he probably doesn't dare to have anything to do with him.
Yang Tianguan believes that there is only one more reliable inference, that is, Gao pragmatic and quiet layout.
In fact, although Yang Wei's guess is not entirely correct, it cannot be wrong. Gao Pragmatism did intervene, but the main point of interference was not Gu Xiancheng's position.
In Gu Xiancheng's original history, his promotion trajectory was not much different from this world, and Gao Pragmatic did not make special arrangements for him. The reason why he often criticizes the Xinxue School but can still always mix in the Ministry of Officials, and even most of them are even in the examination of the Ministry of Merit, is that the successive officials in the original history did not like the study of the mind very much, but were more inclined to the study of the scriptures.
Gao Pragmatic's role this time was only to secretly confess to Song Zhihan, who was the right attendant of the Ministry at the time, "Senior Brother", not to let Gu Xiancheng be impeached inexplicably. In other words, don't worry about anything else, and protect him if there is something.
The Ministry of Officials has been the home of the School of Practice for many years, and Song Zhihan stayed in the Ministry of Officials as a protégé of Gao Gong, and Yang Wei would definitely not easily oppose his opinion, so Gu Xiancheng had smooth sailing.
Gao Pragmatic's real foreshadowing this time was that he had just returned to Beijing to serve as the head of the household department, and before he returned to Beijing, he notified Wang Yuexi, who was in the Ministry of Officials, to "suddenly catch a sudden illness" and immediately went home to recuperate.
Wang Yuexi, Xiao Tang, Gui Wei Jinshi, Jinyi Weiren. The Guiwei branch is the subject in the eleventh year of Wanli, and the three protégés of Gao Pragmatic, Li Tingji, Ye Xianggao, and Fang Congzhe, are all in this subject.
However, Wang Yuexi is not Gao Pragmatic's protégé, his teacher is someone else, but Han Ji - that's right, it is Gao Pragmatic's senior brother, who was a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy at the time and is now the senior brother of Han Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department.
It can also be seen from this that whether it is a descendant of the real school or not, the influence is still very great. Gu Xiancheng is in the same department as Gao Pragmatic, and now he is just a layman. Wang Yuexi was a subject later than him, but because he was a descendant of the real school, he was now in Langzhong.
As for Li Tingji and the other three, they can't be compared like this, although the three of them are just "Hanlin idle officials", but they are noble officials, as long as they have a lot of qualifications, once a heavyweight boss recommends them, they may be released at any time. And for Lang Zhong to become a squire, not only does it take a long time, but the chance of success is much lower than that of Hanlin.
"Heavenly Immortals" and "Halfway Immortals", at least they are all immortal cultivators, but they are not comparable to ordinary people.
Gao Pragmatic has not returned to Beijing, so he guessed that after he became the head of the household department, he would definitely have an accident because of "making trouble", and at that time, the killing trick of suddenly sacrificing Jingcha must be very effective.
But Jingcha's move is a bit like the "Seven Wounds Fist", of course, the power of hitting others is great, but it is also very likely to injure and disable yourself, so Gao Pragmatic let Wang Yuexi "suddenly get sick" in advance, and even if he sacrifices Jingcha's killing move, he can also temporarily decide whether Wang Yuexi wants to go out in person - now it seems that he doesn't want to.
This move is not only to protect Wang Yuexi, but also to put his side in an offensive and defensive position. After all, it is a "sudden illness", maybe it will linger for a long time, and maybe it will be cured the next day, and even a cow can be killed with one punch.
When this "disease" can be cured, it is not Li Shizhen who has the final say, but Gao Pragmatic.
On this day, the hundreds of officials in Beijing were very busy, but unfortunately most of them were not serious, and they basically went to worship the pier in a hurry. If there is a teacher in a high-ranking position, the protégé must visit; If there is no teacher in Beijing, the elders of the same year who have to go to the teacher will search their stomachs; If you can't do it, you have to go to meet the officials of your yamen, and expect the leader to give you a good evaluation.
After Yang Tianguan confirmed that he could not preside over the detailed affairs of the Beijing Inspection, Yang Tianguan politely called Gu Xiancheng, a member of the Examination Division, and appointed him on the spot to act as Lang Zhong's authority and be fully responsible for the affairs of the Beijing Inspection.
Gu Xiancheng was able to pull up Donglin Academy in the original history, naturally he was not a person who was afraid of things, so he responded on the spot, his face was not afraid, his face was solemn, and his waist was straight.
Yang Tianguan comforted him softly, and the meaning outside the words was almost to say that the rise and fall of the world is up to you.
His heartfelt encouragement from the old rivers and lakes of officialdom made Gu Xiancheng, who is not yet forty years old, arrogant, and expressed his position on the spot, saying that the key to this Beijing inspection is to inspect the officials' "four important things", and hope that the Tianguan boss will support him.
Yang Wei is already seventy-two, and he didn't ask him about this set of theories, and after listening to it, he directly agreed with the idea of killing people with a knife in accordance with Gao Pragmatic. In fact, this is Gao Pragmatic is not there, if Gao Pragmatic is, he will definitely be surprised: The main purpose, you Gu Xiancheng has already summed it up so early?
In fact, Gu Xiancheng not only said "four wants" in the middle, but his original words were "four wants", "breaking two confusions", "advocating nine benefits", and "screen nine losses". However, most of the latter items explain "why to teach", which is tailor-made for Donglin Academy, and has nothing to do with Jingcha at this time.
The so-called "four wants" here means clearly and definitely. As for the four essentials, the first is to "know the book"; second, to "aspire"; the third is to "respect the scriptures"; Fourth, it is necessary to "judge a few".
And the most fundamental of these "four musts" is "knowing the book".
In fact, the core of Donglin Academy's work later is also the word "Zhiben". What is "Zhiben"? It is to clean up the source, return Confucianism to an orthodox position, and abandon the exaggerated style of study of King Lu's mind.
Although Yang Tianguan didn't listen carefully, as soon as Gu Xiancheng said "Zhiben", he understood that this time Gu Xiancheng's muzzle must have been directed at the Heart School.
The reason is very simple, the mind school has always been unable to get along with science, and does not admit that there is any knowledge of things, they pay attention to "nothing outside the mind" - this itself has deviated from the main meaning that Wang Yangming wants to express, because Wang Yangming attaches the most importance to "to conscience". Lu Wangxinxue's juniors completely deviated, directly deviated from the first-class Xuan and Zen, and completely idealist.
However, the practical study of the world is different, they are self-aware of the "science" line, especially after Gao pragmatic took over the banner, very much recognized the "knowledge of things", but the "knowledge of things" he proposed is different from the original knowledge of things, he believes that everything has its reason, "science" is to find out the "reason".
Even Gao Pragmatic once raised some questions, such as he once asked: "Why does the boundless falling wood fall down?" ”
Someone said: "The sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the clear one rises, and the turbid one falls." ”
Gao pragmatic asked: "Why do those who are clear must rise, and why do those who are turbid must fall?" What is the rationale for this? Everyone couldn't answer, and Gao pragmatically said with a smile: "This is where my generation should have a 'qualification'." ”
All in all, the first target that Gu Xiancheng wants to oppose at present must be the "vain and exaggerated" school of mind, and he can still tolerate the Jingshi Shixue, which also thinks that he is "in the same vein of science" as he is.
As for when he will become unbearable with the study of the world, it is estimated that he will have to wait until he completes the great cause of "purifying the source" and completely overthrows the heretics of the Heart School.
Yang Wei is not very interested in these academic controversies, but he "discusses the Ming Mingde of learning, the Six Classics of Governance, and the Enlightenment of the University on Current Affairs", so his position has always been that it is useful to listen to whom.
From Yang Wei's point of view, the Manchu Dynasty officials talked about "the effectiveness of governance", and no one could be pragmatic. Now that Gao Shishi wants to use Gu Xiancheng's knife, he just needs to let this knife go, as for what this knife is thinking, it doesn't matter.
Naturally, the evening of this day did not stop, and Gao Pragmatic also received several groups of visitors in his Shangshu Mansion where he returned to Jinggongfang, and he was busy until nearly midnight before he could go to bed.
Early the next morning, the cabinet elders and the ministers Yang Wei and Shen Li, the imperial history of the left capital, jointly asked to see the emperor again, and Zhu Yijun was still summoned in the Wenhua Palace.
Soon after the meeting, the Holy Decree was sent to all the ministries, and the northern inspection of Dinghai Jingcha began tomorrow, and the southern inspection began half a month later. The chief official of the northern inspection is Yang Wei, the secretary of the ministry, and the chief official of the southern inspection is the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, Yu Shi Hairui.
This is another big event - it's not that there is anything unusual about Yang Wei presiding over the Northern Cha, but that the matter of the Southern Cha was actually lost to Hai Rui, which is ...... This TM can't just scare a few to death.
Hai Jui originally did not need to be introduced, but there are some differences between Hai Jui's career and the original history in this book, and I have to explain it a little here.
Needless to say, in the first year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng presided over the state affairs, because he was Xu Jie's protégé, and Hai Rui was adhering to the meaning of Gao Gong in Yingtian Qingzhang Tianmu, Xu Jie's disgraced soil, and even Zhang Juzheng did not like Hai Rui, so Zhang Juzheng ordered to inspect Hai Rui according to the imperial history.
As a result, Yushi went in person, Hai Rui killed chickens and cooked to entertain Yushi, the house was extremely deserted and simple, and Yushi ate a meal with chewing wax, and went away with a sigh. But Zhang Juzheng himself is not very clean, and has always been afraid of Hai Jui's stern and uprightness, so even if Chinese and foreign officials recommended him many times, he was not appointed in the end.
Hai Rui in this life is different, he was originally transferred by Gao Gong to the governor's warehouse, and he worked for several years, arresting many corrupt officials. However, Gao Gong promoted him to a third-order civil and prose official, and he was promoted by two ranks, but he just refused to be promoted - this is obviously also considered from the perspective of political influence, Gao Gong thinks that Hai Rui's destructive power is too great, and at that time, it was necessary to be cautious and stable in carrying out reforms.
When Guo Pu came to power, he didn't make a big move to Hai Rui, but just gave him a new position and asked him to inspect the port of Nanzhili - this is a high pragmatic requirement, because Gao pragmatic does not evade taxes, and he is not afraid of investigation.
As a result, Hai Rui blew up other private ports, which indirectly led to Liu Shouyou's incident against Gao Pragmatic - it was definitely useless to target Hai Rui, so Liu Shouyou and they decided to directly target Gao Pragmatic, who knew that it didn't succeed, and they put themselves in.
After this incident, Hai Rui was "inexplicably" promoted and became the leader of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate - the right capital of the Southern Courtyard.
Now that the emperor has sacrificed Hai Rui's big killing weapon, he obviously understands Gao's pragmatic suggestion that day.
Wang Xijue, Mr. Wang, you Nanbang officials have to mess with me about this "national capital", right?
Okay, okay, wait until you pass the sea blue sky first!
