Chapter 001: Reward Controversy
When Guangxi's Gao Pragmatic stepped down and returned to the north, the important ministers of the imperial court in Yanjing were also worried about Gao Pragmatic's reward.
Everyone can see the emperor's intentions very clearly, and it is clear that he wants Gao Pragmatic to "return to Beijing for reuse", but the problem is that, generally speaking, the route of promotion of officials who have been "transferred to other places" has changed.
Generally speaking, the promotion route of Hanlin Qinggui is to sit on a cold bench in the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu to slowly boil the qualifications to "upgrade", usually serve as a Japanese lecturer for a long time, and by the way, he will be released as an examiner in the year of Dabi, and over time, the final transfer of the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Rites is a waiter - this is the preparation before entering the cabinet, either directly as a waiter into the cabinet, or promoted to the Ministry of Rites and Ministers to enter the cabinet.
But foreign officials are different, usually as long as they are outside, they are likely to be outside the office, step by step and slowly climb up, and finally because of the merit to return to Beijing, if you are lucky, for example, when you are not very old, the kind in your fifties, there is still a chance to enter the cabinet, if it is about fifty or even sixty to do the waiter, then it is usually up to the book, it is very difficult to enter the cabinet.
Gao pragmatic is now patrolling the imperial history, the rank is not high, the real power is great, it must not be regarded as the same level of the seven grade Zhi County, its promotion from the normal point of view, if a province is released, at least from the fourth grade of the deputy envoy, it is very likely to be both military and prepared;
It is also possible to be a little higher in the rank, to participate in the politics of a certain province, and to participate in politics is to undertake the adjutant of the political envoy under the political secretary, from the rank of third-grade official, but the real power is not as good as the military preparation;
If you are a little lucky, it is not uncommon for you to directly go to the left and right political envoys, but Gao Shishi's age is too young, and the political envoys are theoretically the number one administrative leader of a province, so I am afraid it is unlikely that he will be given to people of his age.
If it is a little more awesome, such as a person with a very high reputation, the emperor is highly recommended by the elders and important ministers in the court, and the emperor still values it very much, it is not impossible to directly promote the governor from the imperial history.
After all, the "governor" itself has no rank, it is just a dispatch, in terms of its own level, at least it can make people concurrently serve as the governor of the capital of the four grades.
The characteristic of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is that there are no five-rank officials in its department, and there is only one six-rank Metropolitan Procuratorate experience above the seventh rank - this is similar to the director of the archives office. Further up, it jumped directly to the left and right of the four products.
It is very common to patrol a province with the right imperial history, for example, Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi, is concurrently served by the right imperial history of the Imperial Palace.
This is the characteristic of feudal rule and man-ruled society, of course, there must be rules for the rules, but after all, the rules are set by the emperor, if the emperor has to make an exception, and the cabinet ministers do not reject it, then anything can be done.
For the bigwigs of the Heart School, if Gao Pragmatic follows the promotion practice of foreign officials, the worst result is to be directly promoted to the governor of a certain province - this is the worst for them.
But the problem now is that the emperor clearly does not want to treat Gao Pragmatic as a foreign official, and he has to continue to use Gao Pragmatic as a Hanlin Qinggui, so Shen Shixing has long tentatively proposed to let Gao Pragmatic be the political envoy of Guangdong, but the emperor vetoed it without saying a word.
I have to mention that Shen Shixing's letting Gao Pragmatic be a "senior executive official in Guangdong" is not for Gao Pragmatic's sake, because Gao Pragmatic transferred Lianzhou Mansion back to Guangxi and other things, which made Guangdong officials quite displeased with him, plus Liu Yaoxu, the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Guangdong, is a big man of the Xin School, and Gao Pragmatic has a disagreement with Gao Pragmatic because of the placement of Bazhai.
The emperor rejected it, but Shen Ge Lao was not discouraged, and recommended it again, this time with high pragmatism, mentioning the Burmese changes, asking Yunnan to pay attention, and recommending him as the governor of Yunnan. The reason is very good: familiar with the situation in the southwest, skilled in handling affairs, and decisive in handling.
Who said that Shen Ge Lao has no courage?
Look at other people's big spending, he dares to recommend the governor who is almost twenty years old!
But from another point of view, the situation is different: Shen Ge is always unwilling to let Gao Pragmatic return to Beijing to take up his post!
You must know that if Gao Shishi returns to Beijing to take up his post, he will go to the Hanlin Academy or Zhan Shifu to sit on the cold bench, and it seems that he will not have any real power, but Shen Ge Lao feels that even if he returns to Beijing to sit on the cold bench, the harm to the Xinxue faction is greater than being the governor of Yunnan!
It's like a poisonous sore, even if it is diseased on the foot, at most the foot is affected, but if it grows in the brain...... Oh, it's over.
Shen Ge Lao can see very clearly, others are sitting on the cold bench and boiling qualifications in the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu, he is not pragmatic, as long as he is allowed to return to Beijing, he will definitely be able to influence the emperor's every move at any time!
What's more, he has made such a great contribution, but I am afraid that it is unreasonable to give him "official reinstatement", right? However, even if he was only reinstated as an official - before he was "demoted" to the rank of inspector of the imperial history, he had already received the errand of the Japanese lecturer.
Others to be a daily lecturer are nothing more than giving lectures to the emperor every once in a while, and they can't do anything else, and they can't affect the emperor anything, but you let Gao Pragmatic try?
No need to try, no need to try at all!
Shen Ge's old mind can already make up that picture: Whenever the emperor has any "incurable diseases", he has to drag it until the time of Gao Shi's "class" to ask him!
Hey, when he was a companion and watched politics before, he was jokingly called "Xiaoge Lao", and now if he is made a day lecturer, what will it be?
Is the Hidden Pavilion old?
Then what else does the cabinet do!
The Japanese lecturer is a shortcut for the nobles of Hanlin to go to the ministers, Shen Shixing himself came over like this, he naturally didn't dare to think of a way to destroy this road, and he couldn't do it, so he had to find a way to let Gao Pragmatic not take this road, even if he took a governor in exchange, Shen Ge Lao was unswerving.
Shen Shixing's recommendation this time, the emperor also hesitated, a governor, this is an excellent position for mixed qualifications.
Although for other officials, after serving as a governor, they may be transferred to another place to continue to serve as governor, and the kind of official luck is average, sometimes they can go to several provinces in a row to take turns to be governors, and it is not strange to spend ten or twenty years at the level of governors.
However, that is for other officials, since Gao Pragmatic is the auxiliary minister that he Zhu Yijun has already determined, after the first governor is done, he will be a squire when he returns to Beijing!
For example, the position of governor of Yunnan, according to Gao Shishi's style in Guangxi, and his tendency to care about the situation in Burma, let him be the governor, and it is almost clear that he will fight. In Zhu Yijun's view, Annan is such a terrible place, and pragmatism also means that if you take it, you will take it, and just Myanmar is not ready to be captured?
When the time comes, it will be a matter of course for a soldier to be a squire.
And he himself is famous for his literary name, and he has two major military exploits in hand, how many days can this squire do? It's not just that you can be on top as long as you wait for the vacancy of the Ministry of War, and then find an opportunity, then you will enter the cabinet!
It is estimated that it will only take more than five years, and he will be able to enter the cabinet within the age of twenty-five and create the myth of Ming officialdom!
Zhu Yijun is completely happy to see this myth come to fruition - look at the "true leader in the past two hundred years" hand-picked by me, it is so powerful! Isn't this a good show for kings and ministers?
So the emperor hesitated.
On the Cabinet side, however, it is a different story. When Guo Pu learned that Shen Shixing recommended Gao Shixing as the governor of Yunnan, he was stunned for a while, then he was silent, and finally shook his head and said: "It is not the right time to pull out the seedlings to help them grow." ”
Zhang Siwei also twisted his beard and thought for a long time before he said: "It's really inappropriate, seeking truth is the path of 'heavenly immortals', because it is already inappropriate to release things, but now it is easy to get merit, and I just come back to re-enter Hanlin, how can I continue to serve abroad?" This is not in the name of the people. ”
Zhang Siwei means that my nephew was born to be a "heavenly immortal" in the center, what is the reason for foreigners?
The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is here, and no matter how great the real power of foreign officials is, it is not as good as the reputation of Hanlin Qinggui. His Puzhou Zhang family used to be a merchant family, and it was only when he came here that he gradually improved his family, so he took this kind of thing very seriously - just like his pragmatic mother Zhang, who was easy to talk in other aspects, but as long as it involved the problem of the family, he was very stubborn, which was the same reason.
Xu Guo had a different opinion, he pondered for a while, and then said: "I think that if Qiu Zhen goes to be the governor of Yunnan, maybe it will also be beneficial, for example, the work mentioned by Feng Pangong just now - Qiu Zhen has actually destroyed the country this time, but unfortunately I can't say it explicitly this time, I'm afraid I can't give a reward according to the merit of destroying the country."
But if he does another battle of Annam in Burma, this annihilation of the country will not be erased...... After all, Annam is an internal vassal, while Burma is a foreign vassal. At that time, maybe he can be like Wang Xinjian, and it is possible to get a lord. ”
This was something that Zhang Siwei didn't take into account, so as soon as he said this, Zhang Siwei immediately hesitated.
O Lord ...... Although Wuchen's lord is not very valuable, Wenchen's lord is valuable, and it is extremely valuable!
In fact, it is not easy to get the lord of the military ministers now, and Li Chengliang has two "big victories" in three days, and he has become a rogue lord now. And Qi Jiguang and others have killed I don't know how many thieves, fought against the Mongols for ten years, and I don't know how many times they have repelled the Mongols, and they haven't even caught a rogue lord.
How difficult it is to get the title of Da Ming can be seen from this, even military ministers are difficult to get, let alone Wenchen's?
Guo Pu saw it more openly, and said: "The officials are big and the officials are small, and the lords have titles or not, for the emperor, they are all trivial matters, because as long as the emperor is willing to give, he can always find a reason to give." Therefore, the old man still feels that there is no need to forget the most important thing because of the current little benefit - that is, the emperor's attitude. ”
Zhang Siwei was reminded by Guo Puyi, and also nodded: "Yes, I only ask to be able to return to Beijing, and other things are easy to say, don't be in a hurry." ”
