March is coming to an end, April is coming, the spring breeze is like a bath, willow green and pink.

Such a day is not only suitable for outing, but also suitable for treats. Wu Dui, the new secretary of the military department, invited people to "have a light meal" today.

Wu Dui's guests were not in the restaurant inn outside, but in his own home. He used to be an official in Beijing and served as the head of the military department, so he had a mansion in Beijing, but after all, it was more than ten years ago, so the mansion was small and old. After returning to Beijing to serve as his own soldier this time, Wu Dui disposed of the old house and bought a new one, which was twice as large in size, but it was only medium.

Although the area is not large, it is better to have a clean and tidy new home, so he will feast here for Gao Shipra.

When Gao Pragmatic came, he first asked Cao Ke to report and handed over two hundred taels of congratulations, which could be regarded as congratulating Wu Dui on moving his troops to the right and moving homewarming. Wu Dui personally greeted him, opened the middle door and invited Gao Shi to enter.

The banquet has been set up, and it is indeed just an ordinary family banquet, with more than a dozen dishes and a pot of wine.

"Congratulations to Brother Shi's high school, the sixth champion, this dynasty." Wu Dui is fifty-five this year, but according to the rule, for the sons and nephews of his mentor, he should be called the world brother, so he called Gao Shishi the world brother.

"It's just a fluke, senior brother, don't praise it." Gao pragmatic smiled and raised his glass, "I want to give a glass to my senior brother, my senior brother is promoted to the army, and from then on he will be the respect of the ministry. ”

Wu Dui had a drink with him, and said with a smile, "It's an unexpected joy to have today, how dare you think about Fubi." It's you, brother Shi, Jane is in the emperor's heart, maybe Yutang will be ten years old, and he will go straight to the forbidden house, who can compare"

Gao Shishi smiled and said, "Senior brother said that it was funny, how could it be so easy, senior brother told me to seek the truth." ”

"It's impossible for others, but it's not necessarily impossible for you." Wu Dui nodded, and said with a smile: "Seeking truth, rebuilding the Ming Huidian with the General Revision and General Division, this merit is in hand, at least two levels will be transferred." ”

Gao pragmatic smiled and didn't speak.

Wu Dui put down the wine glass and said slightly, "Yours is taller than others, you are a champion who enters the Jade Hall, and you are directly from the cultivation of the six products, and the transfer of one level is to study and speak, and the transfer to two levels is the identity of a bachelor and a bachelor." ”

Gao pragmatic smiled and said, "How can it be so smooth, I don't know how long this canon will be compiled." ”

Wu Dui also laughed, but the smile was very mysterious, coughed lightly, and whispered, "Isn't the compilation of the canon almost completed, now it's just a matter of refining and correcting mistakes and omissions." Although it is also very troublesome, there is always a framework to rely on, whether it is fast or fast, and the power to review it slowly is in the cabinet, and in the end, whether or not to punish Zang is just a matter of the emperor's words. ”

Gao pragmatic understands the meaning of Wu Dui's words, which is nothing more than that the compilation and revision of the Ming Huidian has actually completed the overall framework, and now the main thing is to check and fill in the gaps, and what is considered qualified is the cabinet, and the final decision lies with the emperor.

Probably in Wu Dui's opinion, the cabinet is unlikely to target Gao Pragmatic, most of them are easy to release, and it is even more impossible on the emperor's side, so when the compilation and repair is completed is actually decided by the Hanlin Academy itself, and Gao Pragmatic is now rebuilt by the General Division, and he said that the reconstruction will be completed after the reconstruction, and the completion of the repair is directly promoted to two levels, which is simply the rhythm of the upper head changing the method to give him the official.

But Gao Pragmatic knows that this matter is not so simple, the cabinet is indeed dominated by the Gao Party, but Shen Shixing and Yu Youding are auxiliary ministers after all, not two wooden stakes, except for Guo Pu, the president of the Ming Huidian, in fact, it stands to reason that the three vice presidents of Shen Shixing, Yu Youding, and Xu Guo are really responsible.

Xu Guo has known Gao Shixing for ten years, he is not only Gao Shishi's senior brother, but also the lecturer in Wenhua Hall back then, he may not be too strict, but Shen Shixing and Yu Youding are different.

The two of them are auxiliary ministers in the same vein of mind, although the two of them are known for their gentleness and stability in the government and the opposition, but Gao Pragmatic has too many traces of artificial promotion in the General Division's meeting this time, which may not make them feel disgusted, if the two of them want to make a hindrance from it, Gao Pragmatic will not be surprised.

The situation on Zhu Yijun's side is a little more stable, but Gao Pragmatic knows that Zhu Yijun is not really pro-government now, and Empress Dowager Li has a great influence on him.

Of course, the Empress Dowager Li does not directly inquire about government affairs, but she has a habit, that is, all government affairs but see how the cabinet disposes of them, if the cabinet is unanimous, the Empress Dowager Li will definitely let the emperor do what the cabinet wants, if the cabinet falls into quarrels and chaos, the Empress Dowager Li will let the emperor wait a while.

Gao pragmatically estimated that it may be those things that made Empress Dowager Li feel that she did not have the ability to decide on government affairs, so everything depends on the decision of the cabinet. If the cabinet is arguing for a while, then put the matter aside and wait for them to understand the argument.

In fact, this idea is not bad, at least very self-aware, just like the first emperor Muzong back then, Emperor Longqing is basically only focusing on personnel, and other specific government affairs are handed over to capable people to deal with, and he uses high arches to uphold this idea.

Perhaps it was Empress Dowager Li who finally figured out this truth later

So looking back, that is to say, the key to everything is how the cabinet looks at it, if there is no big accident, the cabinet should not hold back Gao Pragmatic, but if there is an accident, such as the compilation and repair is really a mess, Shen Shixing and Yu Youding can't stand it, and if they have to make trouble, then this matter will have to be delayed.

In addition, there is another point that Gao Pragmatic has not figured out until now, that is, who Chen Siyu is, or which side he is on.

It stands to reason that he is a Jinshi of Jiajing for forty-four years, and the master should be Gao Gong, but Gao Pragmatic has not dealt with Chen Siyu much before, and Gao Gong rarely mentions this person. Gao pragmatically estimated that Chen Siyu may be in the point of Hu Zhengmeng, the deputy chief examiner of the department, or even in the point of a certain economic teacher.

Mainly because the results of Chen Siyu's examination and the palace examination were outside the two hundred at that time, this result is really not very good, but he is still talented after all, so he was later selected by the pavilion and entered the Hanlin Academy to become a Shujishi, and then climbed up from the Hanlin Academy step by step.

In other words, although his master has to be regarded as a high arch, but Gao Gong may not have taken him as a big deal at the beginning, Gao Gong's protégé disciples are too much, and it is impossible for all of them to attach great importance to it.

It can be seen that there are too many high arch protégés, but the ones who can be cared for by him are still limited, and the other protégés are great because they enjoy a little fame, plus the privilege of writing letters to the high arch

Therefore, Gao Shicheng is a little worried now, this Chen Zhangyuan is not because he was snubbed by Gao Gong, and he always wants to take revenge, otherwise why would he have to forcibly push himself out to the general department to repair the canon

Of course, if you want to take this opportunity to become an important figure in the party, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible.

Anyway, you have to look at it a little more to be sure.

Gao Shishi sighed and said, "The matter of repairing the canon, now that it is like this, the younger brother is afraid that it will be too public, and then it may become the target of the public, from the elder cabinet to the scribe, all of them are staring at the matter of the canon, but if there is an omission, if it is not done well, it will be impeached." ”

Wu Dui laughed, shook his head and said, "I don't know why you are so cautious in seeking the truth, if I were you, I wouldn't bother to care about those gossips, just do a good job of compiling and repairing to seek the truth, you must know that even if someone wants to find you trouble, but there are more people who want you to do well, the faster you go, the happier these people are, you just have to do it well, don't be afraid of other things." ”

Gao Shishi's heart moved, and he suddenly understood what Wu Dui meant.

"Thank you for your advice, I will start concentrating on the cultivation of the canon tomorrow."

Wu Dui smiled and nodded.
