Emperor Longqing listened to Meng Chong's relay, and laughed on the spot, and finally left a sentence as an evaluation: "The prince's observation of politics in the past year seems to be very meaningful." ”

It is indeed very meaningful, because Zhu Yijun's reward for high pragmatism completely follows the style of Longqing before:

First of all, it is only promoted to the official or the East Palace official, and the word "fake" is added at the beginning, similar to the meaning of "temporary", so as to avoid controversy.

In addition, he did not forget that the other meaning of the reward is "to allow you to be noble in front of others", so he gave a big red silk flying fish suit. The previous time Gao was pragmatic and won the big red silk bullfighting suit, but he immediately went back to his hometown to take the exam, and he didn't have time to be "distinguished in front of people" in Beijing.

The so-called "flying fish" is actually a four-clawed dragon with a tail like a fish's tail, "bullfighting" is a right-angled four-clawed dragon, and "unicorn" is an animal in the shape of a bullhoof dragon (in addition, there are two kinds of unicorn suits, the red regular clothes worn by the Ming Dynasty duke and the concubine, with a unicorn complement on the chest and back, but the unicorn is an ordinary beast image, and different from the dragon-shaped "unicorn suit"). Dragons that have four claws and do no other deformation are called "pythons".

The robes embroidered with these four patterns are called python suits, flying fish suits, bullfighting suits, and unicorn suits. They are not in the official uniform system of the officials, but belong to the gift of clothes, and the rank is extremely high, and they can generally only be worn after the emperor rewards or asks for approval.

The clothes are usually made of cloud satin, flash satin, cloud silk, yarn, Luo and other high-end clothing, usually with red as the background color, but there are also green, blue, purple, agarwood and other colors, to distinguish between high and low - red for Zhu, in the Ming Dynasty, the highest grade of red. These robes are made of intricate techniques such as gold weaving and makeup, with a dragon head and dragon claws on the chest, the body of the dragon around the shoulders, and the tail of the dragon thrown behind him. Generally speaking, the python suit is the highest level of clothing, followed by the flying fish suit, the bullfighting suit and the unicorn suit.

It should be noted that the big red silk flying fish suit is different from the flying fish suit of the general Jinyi Guard, at least the color is different - the big red flying fish suit, even in the Jinyi Guard, only the hall officials above the third rank can wear it.

However, the problem is that in the official rank of Jinyiwei, the third rank is the commander. In terms of commanding envoys, there are also governors and governors with the same knowledge, but in most cases, the governors and the same governors are fictitious titles, only like Lu Bing of the Jiajing Dynasty and the current Zhu Xixiao, who are themselves the emperor's cronies, can really master the Jinyiwei, otherwise, the actual leader of the Jinyiwei is actually the commander of the Jinyiwei.

If you have to force an analogy, this is like a school under an education group in the future, which can be compared to Jinyiwei. The chairman of the group is likely to be the principal of the school, which can be compared to the governor of Jinyiwei, but he will not directly manage the school, and the real manager of the school is the executive vice president of the school, that is, the commander of Jinyiwei.

During the Jiajing and Longqing periods, although the clothes were given more and more, only the six ministers and the marshal who went out of the town to see the master were rewarded with a big red silk flying fish suit, in addition, even if the emperor was very much appreciated by the Japanese lecturer (scholar), at most he would be given a big red silk bullfighting suit.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun's two rewards, in terms of name, are more practical, because he was originally a bachelor from the five-rank Hanlin Academy (fake), and now he is the five-rank Zhan Shifu Zuo Yude (fake), which is a clear promotion. But the problem is that although the Hanlin scholars or the Donggong officials are all Qing noble officials, the word "fake" is added in front of it, and the meaning is not so great, that is, it is a little better, and it has been upgraded from high attendant reading to high Yude.

But this dress is different, if there is no clothes, Gao Pragmatic has entered the palace to accompany him before, and he only wears cyan regular clothes, playing white pheasants (that is, according to the five grades). This is still allowed by the emperor, otherwise he is not actually a rank, let alone a green robe, and the green robe can't be mixed, so he can only wear civilian clothes, which would be too embarrassing.

But now it's different, and he jumped directly to wear a big red silk flying fish suit, which is in the palace where the flying fish suit is flooded (because most of the eunuchs give flying fish patterns), and because of the word "big red", it looks noble enough.

The reason why Longqing is happy is because Zhu Yijun's reward is smart enough:

Officials can be promoted slowly, because Gao Shishi is still young, even if it is a "fake" official, he must take his time and pay attention to the impact.

The service should show the royal love, so that both the uncle and nephew of Gao Shi Shi can feel the trust of the emperor's father and son in them, and the service belongs to the emperor's unshakable authority, even if the civil officials are not satisfied, there is nothing to say, because this is a simple "grace", and "grace comes from above", and the subordinates are not allowed to put their beaks.

The next day, Gao Shishi arrived in Beijing.

Although it was already noon, he still followed his usual style before, and did not even return home, but went directly to the palace to cancel his vacation. Guo Pu don't have to worry about it, he has already confessed to Guo Pu in advance, Guo Pu not only does not blame, but is very satisfied with his attitude.

Of course, Gao Gong knew that Guo Pu came with Gao Pragmatic, and had already arranged for someone to greet him. Since Gao Pragmatic didn't go home first, he would take Guo Pu to the house first, and it would be the same.

I heard that Gao Shishi didn't return home, and he came to the palace to cancel the leave, and the "little bee" Emperor Longqing also took a rare break from the busy work of the harem, personally drove the Zhongcui Palace, and met Gao Shishi with the prince.

In fact, this is what Longqing and Zhu Yijun's father and son agreed on yesterday, of course, it was actually Longqing's decision, Zhu Yijun just agreed-in the interview, Zhu Yijun proposed this time Gao Pragmatic's merits in the matter of my answer to the tribute, and asked the emperor for Gao Pragmatic as the crown prince.

Then the emperor happily said "It should indeed be rewarded", but it was a little difficult to say that the cabinet thought that Xiao Gao Aiqing was still young after all, and had never been on the gold list, so it was not good to reward more, so what could I do?

When Gao Pragmatic heard this, he immediately stepped forward and talked nonsense seriously, saying that he had just done a little bit of his duty as a minister, and he really didn't have any credit. Even if the emperor and the prince are wrong in love, thinking that being a minister is somewhat of a trivial achievement, the minister feels that it is not enough to reward him, so he asks the emperor and the prince to take back their fate.

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhu Yijun quit, for example, Gao Pragmatic has made all kinds of contributions since he became the prince's companion, and he actually counted as many as eight before and after, and he was very stubborn in asking the emperor to reward him.

Long Qing "can't resist the prince", pondered for a while, and asked the prince what he thinks about this.

The prince naturally immediately brought forward the reward set by the father and son yesterday, and Long Qing thought about it for a long time "very entangled" before he said with a wry smile: "I really can't bear to brush off the prince's good intentions to care for his close ministers, this matter is ...... That's it. ”

Gao pragmatic repeatedly refused, so he had to shout three times to thank him, and three times to call Chitose thanks, which made the emperor's father and son smile.

Gao Pragmatic himself was also quite happy in his heart, the only one who was not happy was Feng Bao, who was the prince's companion, but even he was full of smiles at the moment, and he couldn't see the slightest dissatisfaction.
