When he returned home that day, Gao Pragmatic stayed alone in the small building and thought for a long time, not only worried about the situation of the Gao Party in the next few years, but also anxious about the sustainability of the new policy.

He knows Shen Shixing, after all, Shen Ge Lao was a lecturer for Zhu Yijun at the beginning, which is equivalent to teaching him for a few years. Shen Shixing is certainly a typical style of psychology in politics, although he has a soft personality and is more keen on balance, but once he becomes an assistant, it will definitely be equivalent to stepping on the brakes for the promotion of the new policy, and he will inevitably encounter greater resistance.

But he can't solve this problem now

Guo Pu is not a subordinate of his family, that is his teacher, this teacher has abided by the law all his life, and he feels that since the regulations of the Ming Dynasty officials in the seventy years exist, unless there is a major event that the sky is falling apart, they should all be obeyed. Gao Pragmatic knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only give up.

And for such a thing as Uncle Zhang Siwei's body, who can guarantee it can only ask God for blessing.

Gao pragmatic thought about it for a long time, and finally could only sigh.

Forget it, it's going to rain and my mother is going to get married, and there is only so much I can do now, since I can't solve it, I can only leave it for the next day, or think about what I can do in Guangxi next.

Although the level of the patrol is low, the power is huge, after arriving in Guangxi, with his family background and the identity of the six champions, he can be much tougher than in the capital, and he may be able to rectify the officialdom

But this is all a shadowless thing, I only know that Guangxi is very chaotic now, but what is the specific chaos, and why is it chaotic, I am still at a loss and have no clue, and it is useless to ponder these things, and I will check it after I get the place.

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Wang Guoguang, Gao Pragmatic went to the palace with another superintendent of the imperial history, and His Majesty met the emperor.

Zhu Yijun's complexion was not very good, but after Wang Guoguang introduced the two Guangxi patrol candidates quickly, Zhu Yijun directly selected Gao Pragmatic, and refused to say more than half a sentence.

Gao Pragmatic felt the anger in his heart, of course, this anger did not come from Gao Pragmatic, this is a kind of anger caused by the suppression of power and the disregard of dignity.

Historically, he was also forced to issue a guilty edict by his mother, Empress Dowager Li, this year, and the crime was even funnier than this time.

That time he drank some wine and ordered a little eunuch next to him to sing a new song, but the little eunuch said no, Zhu Yijun took advantage of the wine to be angry and said that he was going to cut off the little eunuch's head. Of course, the people around him persuaded him, so he said that he would keep his head and cut off a bundle of his head as punishment.

As a result, this matter was soon known by the Empress Dowager Li, who was furious, and while ordering Zhu Yijun to kneel, she threatened him to establish King Lu as the new monarch, and at the same time sent someone to inform Zhang Juzheng that Zhang Juzheng would make an edict on behalf of the emperor.

Zhu Yijun wept bitterly and knelt outside the Cining Palace to beg his mother for forgiveness, and the Empress Dowager Li sent someone to invite Zhang Juzheng to come over and teach Zhu Yijun a lesson in person.

Gao Pragmatic smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that Zhu Yijun had to go through the ordeal of issuing an edict in the eighth year of Wanli, relatively speaking, this time it was a little normal, at least it was not because of a little eunuch's head

It's just that this time Zhu Yijun's guilty incident, he was unlucky, of course, whether this time is bad luck or not, it's a little hard to say.

On the one hand, Gao Pragmatic was originally the most likely to take a promotion route that was cut off as a historian of the Hanlin Dynasty, and he entered the Japanese to lecture on officials, mixed seniority upgrades, and he may go to the Guozijian to do a sacrificial wine halfway, and then return to the Hanlin Academy to study for a bachelor and take charge of the affairs of the academy, and then enter a certain ministry of waiters, and then either enter the cabinet directly as a waiter, or mix for another two years to enter the cabinet with a book.

This road is the most noble route for the Ming Hanlin to enter the cabinet, especially the most common route for the champions, such as Li Chunfang, the champion of the 26th year of Jiajing, who took this route to enter the cabinet.

To put it simply, this route is both relaxed and noble, and it is the most envied by the world.

But now this line has been broken and changed to another, that is, the foreign official route, this route is too complicated to elaborate, but if you put it concisely, it is nothing more than to make various achievements in the local area, and then transfer back to Beijing to serve as a squire, and then Shangshu, and then enter the cabinet

Compared with the first route, this route is both hard and dangerous, any wrong step may sink in the sand halfway, and even the step of returning to Beijing in triumph may not be safe Ling Yunyi will not be planted in that step this year

In addition, there is another trouble, that is, I went too far south this time, and I went to Guangxi, which is not as good as returning to Xinzheng's hometown, at most it is ten days and half a month away. After going to Guangxi, the main industries in the capital will be in a state of no backbone, and I don't know if there will be problems.

Zhu Yijun obviously didn't know that Gao Pragmatic would have so many questions in his mind, he just felt that after Wang Guoguang took away another imperial historian, Gao Pragmatic seemed to be a little distracted.

This made Zhu Yijun a little embarrassed, he thought that Gao Pragmatic was not mentally prepared for the "demotion and transfer to foreign office", so he was a little at a loss. And the root of this matter is in him, the emperor, and Gao Pragmatic just suffered it on his behalf.

"Pragmatism, I wronged you this time." At this moment, there are no outsiders in the Xinuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, only Zhu Yijun, Chen Ju and Gao Pragmatic, Chen Ju is his confidant, and there is no need to hide anything from him, so Zhu Yijun walked directly off the throne and came to Gao Pragmatic's side.

Gao Pragmatic knew that at this time, Zhu Yijun was the most depressed person, so he half-jokingly comforted him, "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the minister, the minister heard that the governor of the imperial history is now in the place, but it is very powerful, and the last time the minister did the Qincha was ten years ago, this time I have the opportunity to experience the majesty of the Qincha again, in fact, I am very happy." ”

This is what he, a classmate who has been with the emperor for ten years, dares to say this

Sure enough, when Zhu Yijun heard him say this, he couldn't help but sneer, shook his head, and said with a straight face, "Be pragmatic, although the authority of patrolling the imperial history is great, but the responsibility is also great, you must not ignore it." And now Guangxi is in chaos, although Yin Zhengmao and Ling Yunyi have won two big victories one after the other, and Liu Yaozhi also came to a big victory not long ago, but I don't know why, the chaos is like pressing the gourd vine in the water, just pressing this gourd, and then floating that gourd, I don't know when it's a head. ”

Gao pragmatic nodded, and said, "After the minister arrives in Guangxi, he will carefully investigate and see where the root of this problem is, if possible, it is best to think of a root cause." ”

"I knew you'd think that, it's always your way of thinking." Zhu Yijun shook his head as he spoke, "I think that whether it was Yin Zhengmao or Ling Yunyi before, not to mention the character and official reputation, at least they are not mediocre, the reason why they did not go to the root cause, I think it must be impossible for no reason." After you arrive in Guangxi, whether you have the root cause of what you said or not, don't do it lightly, let me know first, otherwise even if I agree with you to do it, I don't know how to cooperate with you, understand?"

This was said very sincerely, and Gao pragmatic accepted the smile, and saluted with a solemn face.

Zhu Yijun nodded, sighed again, and said, "I only learned about the arrangements made by the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for you yesterday, and I am very conflicted now, I hope you can come back sooner, but I am also worried that one year is not enough time to clarify the source of chaos in Guangxi, alas, your errand is not easy to do." If it really doesn't work, you can follow Liu Yao's teaching and them to share some military merits, and when Yao'e and Yaoyao's marriage is finished, I will find a reason to transfer you back to Beijing at that time. ”

Speaking of the marriage of the third princess and the fourth princess, Zhu Yijun's mood was obviously a little low.

However, Zhu Yijun's words were obviously well-intentioned, he regarded Gao Pragmatic as his future assistant minister many years ago. In his opinion, the minister of the auxiliary should naturally stay by his side, so he would rather Gao Pragmatic be honest outside for a year, and then just find some reason to transfer back to Jingshi, and he doesn't want Gao Pragmatic to cause any trouble outside

All in all, Zhu Yijun is no different from those officials of the Hanlin Academy, they all think that staying by the emperor's side is the greatest importance of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, even if you are just a Japanese lecturer who explains a text to the emperor every day, it is more compelling than being a governor outside.

This is because the Japanese lecturer is well mixed, maybe he will enter the cabinet tomorrow, and the governor of other provinces wants to enter the cabinet, and there is at least two big steps in the middle.

However, Gao Pragmatic is now a little hesitant, thinking that he worked so hard back then, and he only became the mayor of the town in his thirties, and he was only a section-level cadre

With such good conditions, if you don't hurry up and do some business, is it worthy of the old saying "once you have power in hand, you will carry out the order", so it is not in his scope of consideration to follow Liu Yaoxu, the governor of Liangguang and others, to mix up military merits or something, not to say that military merits are not wanted, but that you can't rely on mixing.

If Lao Tzu wants military merits, he must also take them in a dignified manner

Although it is still two words whether it is good to command and fight a war by myself, at least if we do a good job in logistics supervision, it will always be difficult for me to be a senior person

It seems that a few years ago, there was a war in Guangxi, and the annual expenditure was only two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, but it was really not good, and Lao Tzu had to make a good-looking military merit for the country, and he was rich, so capricious, what's wrong

Eh, wait, since there are wars everywhere in Guangxi, shouldn't I bring some family members over, but don't be killed by the rebels on the way to office, then there will be no place to cry out for injustice.

However, if he is a patrol, not a governor, and if he brings a large group of armed soldiers, will he be impeached, after all, he is theoretically only responsible for supervising the army, not leading the army.

Zhu Yijun saw him frowning and his face was different, and he couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking, if you have difficulties, you can hurry up." ”

Gao Pragmatic was happy when he heard it, since the emperor is so upright, then I am not welcome.

At the moment, he said, "The minister is thinking, since Guangxi is not at peace, can the minister take some family members on the road?"

Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said, "The governor has a supervision standard, the governor has a maintenance standard, and their family members have the imperial court to manage the food and salary, but you are a patrol, but there is no such precedent."

Gao pragmatic immediately said, "This is okay, the minister does not need to be paid by the court." ”

"I know that you are rich" Zhu Yijun rolled his eyes, "Then you can take it yourself, but don't have too much, in case someone participates in the impeachment, the size is also a trouble." ”

Gao was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed over his hand, "Thank you to the emperor for Longen." ”
