"What's going on, I heard that you came out of the palace with your front foot, and you came to me with your back foot? Have you eaten? ”

Zhang Siwei was wearing a Zhongjing crown suit, met in the study, and asked Gao Pragmatic after seeing him, and then beckoned Gao Pragmatic to come forward and sit down.

Zhongjing crown dress is a kind of Yanju costume drummed out by Emperor Jiajing, which has its special meaning, and Gao Pragmatic guessed the meaning of the uncle when he looked at his uncle's dress.

This kind of costume seems to those who have never seen it, but it is actually a bit nondescript. It has a complement, which looks like an official uniform as understood by later generations, but it is also cross-collared and wide-sleeved, with a large belt, and the head is not as majestic as the official hat, and it looks more like the clothes of ordinary scribes with additional complements.

If you want to make an analogy, this is like a set of pajamas, with epaulettes, armbands and even ribbons, making it selfish and unfair.

But just a set of clothes, and even the labor of Emperor Jiajing personally participated in the finalization, obviously has its significance, not to mention here, a simple explanation: what the officials want is this kind of half-public and half-private, because the Zhongjing crown dress is actually responsible for the purpose of the officials' usual social interactions.

Officials come and go with each other, and if they are in the yamen, it goes without saying that they are all in official uniforms. But after work, in the house and back, wearing official clothes is too serious, and wearing real Yanju clothes such as Taoist robes seems too contemptuous, so during the Great Rites Conference, with the personal intervention of Emperor Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty has this kind of half-public and half-private new Yanju clothes.

Zhang Siwei deliberately changed into such a suit and came out, obviously he knew that Gao Shishi visited him overnight, it was impossible just to visit his uncle, there must be something in the court to discuss or consult, at this time, it was the best time for Zhongjing Guanfu to appear.

The strict etiquette of the ancients can be seen from this. On the contrary, Gao Pragmatic, the six champions who compiled the "Daming Huidian", lost some points in this matter today: he came directly wearing the python robe when he entered the palace.

But Zhang Siwei doesn't blame him, firstly, he has always been very satisfied with this nephew and has a high degree of tolerance, and secondly, he also knows that Gao Pragmatic came so urgently, obviously there is something important.

Gao pragmatic said that he had already had dinner with the emperor in the palace, and then asked his grandfather and grandmother's physical condition.

Zhang Siwei sighed a little when he heard this, and said: "Half a month ago, Puzhou sent a letter, your grandfather has some of his sanity gradually lost, and when Tai Zheng returned to his hometown to visit him on my orders a few years ago, your grandfather couldn't tell who was who he and Jia Zheng. ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned when he heard this, but he can also "understand" when he thinks about it, Mrs. Zhang is afraid that everything has been satisfied in this life, the family wants money and power, and there is no need to worry about anything - this is naturally too good for ordinary people, but for an old man, if it really reaches the point of no concern, it will not be far from Alzheimer's disease.

After all, Li Shizhen has already said before, he has suggested everything he should suggest, and the places that should be proposed for improvement have also been improved, if the old couple can insist on listening to him, the body may still have three or five years, but the thinking is ...... After all, even under the modern medical conditions of a high pragmatic past, Alzheimer's disease cannot be treated with medication.

Zhang Siwei saw that Gao was a little downcast, and comforted him in turn: "You don't have to be too sad, there is a way of birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, speaking of which is just my unfilial piety as a son, and I can't serve in front of the bed." ”

Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.

Zhang Siwei knew what he meant, and sighed again: "I know you're worried about the court, but ...... There's no way to do it. In case I return to my hometown, I can only hope that Xu Yingyang (Xu Guo, called Yingyang) can carry the banner of my practical learning. ”

Gao pragmatic pondered for a moment and decided to speak bluntly, so he asked: "As for the cabinet, should we increase the weight?" ”

Zhang Siwei suddenly stared at him and frowned slightly: "Is there anything Li Dongbi (Li Shizhen) that he didn't dare to say to me, but he told you?" ”

Gao was pragmatic and silent.

Zhang Siwei took a deep breath, his fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the rosewood Taishi chair, and after a while he asked: "Cabinet, the world is paying attention, once it changes, I'm afraid it will be another dragon fight." ”

Then he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Gao pragmatically shook his head and said: "What this Yuan Fu is thinking, the lower officials dare not say anything. ”

"Shh Zhang Siwei sneered: "You don't dare to say anything? You've been 'liarizing' for no less than ten years—come on, the 'lower officials' don't dare to lie, but nephew, I think you can talk about it. ”

Gao Shishi couldn't hold back his serious expression, couldn't help laughing, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the image of the little nephew is not very good...... Well, since my uncle asked, I'll talk about it casually. ”

Zhang Siwei waved his hand, signaling him to say it was okay.

Gao pragmatic muttered: "I have three candidates for my uncle's reference. ”

"Come on." Zhang Siwei also put away the joke and said seriously.

"First, Wei Qu'an (Wei Xuezeng)." Gao pragmatic said: "The Duke of Sure An is the right and left hand of my third uncle in the past, when the third uncle was also in charge of the ministry, the Duke of Sure An was the left servant, who had been in charge of the affairs of the world for many years, with outstanding prestige and many protégés, and this Duke has always been one of the most staunch supporters of reform in my school of practical learning, whether it is prestige, qualifications or governance philosophy, I think it is very suitable to enter the cabinet." ”

Wei Xuezeng must have the ability, in the original history, because he was Gao Gong's right-hand man, he was suppressed very badly after Zhang Juzheng came to power, and returned to his hometown with "the original post waiting for dispatch" - retaining the rank of position, but there was nothing to do, so he returned to his hometown.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, he was able to become the right servant of Nanjing's household, rotate and change the imperial history of Nanjing's right capital, and finally gave him the title of Nanjing household's secretary. But in the eighteenth year of Wanli, Wei Xuezeng was reinstated by advanced age, with the title of secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, and the military affairs of the four towns of Shaanxi, Yan, Ning and Gansu.

This time he caught up with the Bibai Rebellion, and something dramatic happened. To put it simply, Wei Xuezeng's performance was 99% very good, but he wanted to appease one of the rebels for a while, but he delayed the attack, so he was impeached and arrested and returned to Beijing.

However, in fact, he did all the other work very well, he was arrested only a month ago, Ningxia was breached, and the battle was completely won, and the strategic arrangements for this battle, including the dispatch of all parties, the diversion of water to irrigate the city, etc., were all set by him when he was in office.

When the victory was announced, Zhu Yijun summoned Zhao Zhigao and Zhang Wei, who were scholars at the time, both of whom tried their best to defend Wei Xuezeng, and most of the courtiers such as Shi Xing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also said that Wei Xuezeng was not guilty.

Mei Guozhen, who had impeached Wei Xuezeng for delaying the attack, also said: "Wei Xuezeng was a little slow to respond, and the ministers asked to reproach the generals to boost morale, and the order to arrest Wei Xuezeng came from the ministers, and the ministers felt deep remorse." Wei Xuezeng did not receive Zhaoxue, and the ministers will be ridiculed by eternity. ”

Li Rusong, the front-line commander-in-chief, also said: "When Wei Xuezeng was arrested, the soldiers of the three armies burst into tears. ”

And Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Shaanxi at the time, also attributed the credit to Wei Xuezeng - you must know that Ye Mengxiong has been a political opponent for many years.

It can be seen that Wei Xuezeng not only has good ability, but also enough prestige, and there is no shortage of contacts.

As for the so-called "slower strain", he was already close to seventy years old at that time, isn't it normal to be a little slower? And now, he is not yet sixty, and he is the age when he should be useful.

Zhang Siwei nodded, but did not immediately draw a conclusion, but said, "What about the next one?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "The next one is my senior brother Wu Huanzhou. "Wu Huanzhou is Wu Dui, and Huanzhou is his number.

Who knew that Gao Pragmatic hadn't explained why he recommended Wu Dui this time, but Zhang Siwei raised his hand to stop it, and said: "Wu Junze, don't be in a hurry first, wait until Yunnan is finished - he is a big Sima, and he should concentrate on military affairs now." Moreover, if this battle is won, even if he is a soldier, both the north and the south will win the battle, and then he will be promoted to the cabinet, so as to block people's mouths. ”

Gao Pragmatic is Wu Dui's junior brother and subordinate of the Ministry of War, so he is called Wu Dui's number, and Zhang Siwei is his predecessor and superior, so he is called his character.

Zhang Siwei's statement is also very reasonable, Gao pragmatic nodded, no longer mentioning Wu Dui's stubble, but said: "The third place is Zhang Xinzhai (Zhang Xueyan)." ”

This time, before it was Gao Shishi's turn to explain the reason for the recommendation, Zhang Siwei interrupted: "You wait for a while...... Zhang Ziyu is now the head of the household, you asked me to promote him to the cabinet, if it is successful, will he still have a big farmer? ”

Gao pragmatic hesitated for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to be easy to concurrently?" ”

"No need to seem, I tell you, definitely not at the same time." Zhang Siwei said lightly: "It's not easy to be a big Si Nong now...... The emperor stared at it every day, and the people over there also coveted it. Fortunately, Zhang Ziyu was promoted by Gao Wenzhenggong in the past, and he took over the position of Wang Ruguan (Wang Guoguang), he sat in this position, and it was not easy to move him anywhere, but if he entered the cabinet, this position of great farmer would ...... I'm afraid that some people have to fight for their heads and bleed. ”

Gao Shishi frowned and said, "This is the reason, but uncle, you can't just press Zhang Xinzhai Gong in the position of Dasi Nong because of this, and he will never move, right?" ”

Zhang Siwei spat out and asked: "It's not that you want to keep him in this position, the key is that once he leaves, it is difficult to determine the successor." You also know that the current errand of the household department is difficult to do, there is a shortage of money everywhere, and it costs money everywhere, Zhang Ziyu is the most rare financial expert after Wang Ru Guanzhishi, if he leaves, what will happen to the household department? ”

He didn't wait for a pragmatic interface, and said to himself: "I don't even think about this issue on the side of the faction, even if I count the people on their side of the mind, it's useless, and there is no one on their side who can replace Zhang Ziyu...... Think about it, the people who have the most chance to be motivated on their side at the moment are nothing more than Zhao Zhigao, Zhang Wei and a few others, which of these people is suitable for being a big Si Nong? ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned and said: "If you talk about financial management, I'm afraid these people are really not suitable." ”

Zhang Siwei sighed: "Therefore, this position is easy to move now, and even take a step back and say, the ability to manage money is a little worse, as long as you can stick to the right view, it is not impossible to consider, but this one involves character and qualifications...... I thought about it, Wang Zhongbo can barely use it, but he has just served as a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy this year, and it will not be easy to be promoted again for a while. ”

Wang Zhongbo is Wang Jiaping, he is a native of Shanyin, Shanxi, no wonder Zhang Siwei will mention him, but Gao Pragmatic knows that Wang Jiaping's personality is too hard, in the original history, he was the master who offended Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, this kind of person may be good to be an official such as Zuodu Yushi and Criminal Department Shangshu, but it may not be appropriate to do Hubu Shangshu - Hubu has to fight with all aspects every day, and if Wang Jiaping is a person like Wang Jiaping to be a big Si Nong, I am afraid that it will become a quarrel.

Moreover, Gao Pragmatic has to consider that if such a person is replaced, the household department may change from leaning towards the practical school and becoming neutral, which he cannot be satisfied with.

Looking at Zhang Siwei's eyes, Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Those who gain this public are strong, and those who lose are also strong." ”

The advantage is uprightness, and the disadvantage is also uprightness. This is a highly pragmatic evaluation.

Zhang Siwei was such a person, he naturally understood what his nephew meant when he heard it, and couldn't help sighing: "Then Zhang Ziyu should continue to do it...... I look at this position, unless I change you up, it's not easy for anyone to go. ”

Replace Gao Pragmatism, this is obviously just Zhang Siwei's emotion, Gao Pragmatism will not take it seriously, the position of Hubu Shangshu is not a joke, even if Gao Pragmatism proves his ability with the actual performance of the richest man in the world, it is useless, he must work hard enough positions, especially if he has done many "logistics positions" and then go up, so as not to be questioned.

Besides, the status of the richest man in the world may still be a minus, and it may even be considered necessary to avoid this position.

At this moment, all the candidates were denied, only Wei Xuezeng was alone, and Zhang Siwei did not express his position.

So Gao pragmatic asked: "What about Wei Qu'an's entry into the cabinet......

Zhang Siwei thought for a while and said slowly: "You can give it a try." Then he said: "Who will replace the Ministry of Works?" ”

Gao pragmatically shook his head, indicating that he had not thought about this question yet.

Zhang Siwei asked, "How is Shen Li?" ”

Gao pragmatically thought about it and nodded.

Zhang Siwei bowed slightly, no longer said, but said: "Let's talk about the cabinet here, you entered the palace today, what did the emperor say to you, and you came to me overnight?" But it has something to do with the war in Yunnan? ”

"The war in Yunnan has been discussed, and the emperor has already made a plan." Gao pragmatic said, then talked about the discussion with Zhu Yijun, and then said: "But when I came to my uncle's place, I didn't just inform me of these circumstances, but when I left the palace later, the emperor suddenly sent an envoy to show me a sparse text from Duke Liu of Yunnan. ”

Zhang Siwei frowned and said: "But today, Liu Shi once reported the cause of the war in Yunnan? ”

Gao pragmatically nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly that." ”

Zhang Siwei was a little surprised, and asked: "I have read this sparse article today, it is very common, Liu Shizeng's move is nothing more than to take himself out first, the emperor specially showed you this?" Has the emperor approved it? ”

"Approved." Gao pragmatic said: "The emperor didn't say anything else, but he just wanted to investigate the responsibility of the relevant officials in Yunnan who indulged in Myanmar before, and the little nephew just didn't understand it here: this matter seems to involve Rao Renkan, and Rao Renkan left office the year before last, and it seems that there is a shadow of my mentor Guo Gong......"

Zhang Siwei immediately understood Gao Shishi's doubts, but he was also a little surprised, and frowned: "Do you want to know if Guo Gong's victory over Rao Renkan that day is related to the fighting method over there?" ”

Gao pragmatically nodded slightly.

Zhang Siwei shook his head and said: "In the ninth year of Wanli, there must be fighting methods between the two sides, but there is nothing special about Rao Renkan's incident, he was indeed found to be 'unemployed'." In Yunnan for more than three years, he has hardly made any achievements, and he should have been impeached. But he was condemned as a derelict officer, in fact, there are reasons for you. ”

"Me?" Gao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart What does this matter to me, I was in Guangxi at that time.

Zhang Siwei chuckled lightly and said: "At that time, you were in a hurry in Guangxi, and even Zhang Ren, who was seriously ill, got a good evaluation in the external inspection, but there was no movement in Yunnan 'next door'. So I asked him, guess what he said? ”

Gao Pragmatic could only shake his head, Zhang Siwei snorted lightly, and said: "He said that the soldiers and civilians in Yunnan only recognize the Mu family, and they don't know that there is a governor, so it is difficult to do anything." ”

Gao was stunned.

Zhang Siwei glanced at him and said, "The emperor knows what he said." ”

"Oh......" Gao Pragmatic suddenly realized, and said in his heart: Zhu Yijun's desire to control is quite strong, no wonder I want to beat Li Chengliang, it seems that either history has really taken a fork in the road, or the current Zhu Yijun has not been affected by the "fighting for the country" incident. However, anyway, he showed me the Zhu batch today, probably suggesting that I remind Liu Shizeng, don't let Mu too?

But Liu Shizeng is not a person from our real school, he is a neutral party, and he is a fellow countryman with Chen Yiqin, a bachelor in the Longqing period......

Hey, Chen Yiqin? What is his son Chen Yuma's position now?

Gao Pragmatic couldn't think of it for a while, so he asked Zhang Siwei.

Zhang Siwei said: "Chen Yuma? He is now the editor of the Zhan Shifu Economic Bureau and the Hanlin Academy, and he has been a lecturer for several years, and he will serve as the same examiner in the spring of this year. ”

Such a coincidence, with the examiner?

Gao Pragmatic thought about it, and at the same time mentioned to Zhang Siwei that he was going to temporarily serve as the same examiner, Zhang Siwei was quite surprised: "You are the top student in the previous department, and you are in the same exam today?" But without waiting for a pragmatic answer, he said to himself: "But if it is used as an example, it seems that it can indeed be ......."

Gao Pragmatic didn't want to dwell on this, so he reminded: "What does the emperor's Zhu Pi have to do with the Chen family and his son?" ”

Zhang Siwei thought for a while and said: "Chen Nanchong (Chen Yiqin) used to retreat from the mountains, and his son Chen Yuma was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing, and he still stopped at compiling and revising. ”

Gao Pragmatic frowned and said, "This bend is really not small...... Did the emperor think that Chen Yuma and I were both taking the same spring exam this time, so I asked me to sell face to Chen Yuma, inform him of the emperor's intentions, and then let Chen Yuma's private letter inform Liu Shizeng? But why do you want to do that? ”

"It's dark under the lights." Zhang Siwei shook his head and said, "The emperor asked you to take the old Chen party under your command...... Seeking truth, there are not many Chen henchmen, Liu Shizeng is the best among them, and he now happens to be the governor of Yunnan, what do you mean by the emperor? ”

Gao Shishi's heart moved, and said: "Yunnan? ”

Zhang Siwei smiled lightly, nodded, twisted his body, moved his back, and said lightly: "However, it is Yunnan." It seems that the emperor is very optimistic about your foreign war ability...... He's letting you secretly preside over the war in Yunnan! ”

PS: After writing these two chapters, I found that the character relationship diagram I did before was still very useful, and I almost dizzy myself when I wrote according to the diagram.

Re-PS: Recently, I have been told many times why it used to be more than 10,000 a day, and now it is 4-5K a day. To put it simply, the income from writing books is very low, and I have to eat, and I can't do anything else when I am 10,000 a day, but I can't live by eating and drinking, right?

At the same time, I think history is a very serious thing, let me change my style to write the history of hippie smiley, I really can't do it, so I admit that the income is low, and I will continue to write books, to ensure that 4K-5K a day, and constantly write the whole book, but I really can't do it with 10,000 a day.
