Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 312
In the fourth year of Longqing, on October [-]th, the quarrel in the capital came to an end with the sudden relegation of Rao Renkan and Wu Shangxian, the mainstays of the main combat faction, to foreign posts.

Although the victory of the peace faction was mainly due to the cabinet's insistence and the emperor's acceptance, another important reason was that yesterday the imperial envoy inspected Xuanda's defense and the prince's companion, Gao Yushi, went to the school again.

This time, Gao Wushi not only repeated the benefits of accepting the tribute, but more importantly brought a piece of good news: Through negotiations between him and Datong eunuch Huang Mengyu and I Da, I Da has decided that as long as Daming accepts his request to ask for tribute, and he will return all the remaining Bailian crimes headed by Zhao Quan to Daming, and let him deal with it.

Moreover, in order to show sincerity, these people have been captured by Alda from Dabansheng City, and now they have all been escorted to the Alta Central Army and outside Desheng Fort. The thief has verified his integrity, and he only waits for a word from the court, and I will hand it over if I answer.

The degree to which Daming attaches great importance to the remnants of Bailian has been detailed in the previous article, so there is no need to repeat it here. Therefore, after the news of Gao Yushi reached the capital, the main combat faction knew from top to bottom that it was impossible to stop this tribute. , Irreversible.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Longqing's critics came down, and not only severely reprimanded the opinion of the main fighter, but also demoted the most vociferous members of the main fighter to foreign positions.At the same time, Long Qing ordered the cabinet to discuss the details of the tribute immediately.

In addition, in view of the excellent performance of the imperial envoy Prince's accompanying student Gao Yushi, Longqing issued another decree, ordering Gao Yushi to return to Beijing immediately to report the details of my request for tribute.

This move was slightly beyond Gao Yushi's expectations, he originally thought that Long Qing would wait for him to finish my tribute work before returning to Beijing to report on his duties, but now that the imperial edict is below, he can only return to Beijing according to the edict.

Since the first imperial decree and the prince's decree he had accepted previously required him to return to the palace to report immediately after returning to Beijing, so Gao Yushi did not even return to the Gao Mansion after returning to Beijing, and went directly to the palace to make a statement.

The emperor and the prince came forward together and listened to a high-level report in the Wenhua Palace.

However, neither the emperor nor the crown prince said on the spot whether they would accept it, but only said that they would transfer the content of the report to the cabinet for detailed discussion.But Gao Yushi did not make the trip in vain. He was rewarded—not only two or thirty taels of silver like Qi Jiguang, but a big red silk bullfighting suit.

Bullfighting suits, boa suits, and flying fish suits are all similar to the dragon suit worn by the emperor because of the decoration of the costumes. They are not included in the official uniform system, but are specially rewarded by eunuchs or ministers in the Ming Dynasty. of conferring.Among them, the bullfighting suit is a kind of solemn clothing that is inferior to the python suit and the flying fish suit. According to common sense, of course, the high and pragmatic grade should never be awarded the bullfighting suit-even if his "fake" is "fake". It should not be removed.Generally speaking, the top Hanlin bachelors of the Hanlin Academy are barely qualified.

However, due to the indiscriminate distribution of python and flying fish suits by the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties, these systems have now collapsed, and Gao Yushi played a big role in the court's determination to pay tribute to Alda this time, so this bullfighting If you obey the gift, you will be given it, and the outside world has little reaction to this reward-Gao Yushi can be regarded as a civil servant after all, and a civil servant must be rewarded for his meritorious service, but Gao Yushi itself is a special case in the imperial court system, and it is impossible to give it to him. If you add an official to a noble, then giving a bullfight uniform means that everyone thinks it's okay.

"I've worked so hard on a business trip, and I only have one piece of clothing mixed in!" Gao Wushi muttered rolling his eyes.

However, when he got the bullfight suit that was rewarded to him, his mood changed again, because he found that the bullfight suit was not actually embroidered with a bull, but a dragon.

To be precise, this is a big red dragon robe—it's just that the dragon has a pair of big curved horns.

The ancients divided dragons into four types: those with scales were called Jiaolongs; those with wings were called Yinglongs; those with horns were called Qiulongs; those without horns were called Chilongs.

Bullfighting is Qiulong.

As for the python suit, it was also a dragon, the only difference from the emperor's dragon was its claws, which were four claws instead of the emperor's five claws; the flying fish was a dragon with wings and a fish tail.

Generally speaking, Gao Yushi is quite a contented person. He feels that he has worn a "Dragon Robe" anyway, and it will be easier to meet people when he goes out in the future. Before that, he was the only one who went in and out of the palace all day. As a small official, he is worse than some eunuchs in the palace, because many eunuchs wear flying fish suits, and his green robe is mixed with it every day, which is indeed a bit shabby.

Now that he has been given a bullfight suit, he will feel completely different in front of these people in the future.Although in theory, flying fish suits are a bit more advanced than bullfighting suits, but in fact, the rewards for flying fish suits are the most excessive. Needless to say, there are all kinds of flying fish suits in Jinyiwei's yamen, and the flying fish suits in the inner court are also too indiscriminate. So in fact, it is difficult to reflect the so-called dignity.After all, in this period, "there are as many unicorns as dogs, and flying fish walk all over the street"—of course, if these unicorns and flying fish are worn by civil servants, it is still worth mentioning.

On the contrary, bullfighting suits are relatively rare. From Gao Yushi's point of view, besides python robes, bullfighting suits are more face-saving now...

When he got home, Gao Wushi quickly changed the white pheasant Buzi's green robe uniform, and put on the red silk bullfighting suit to show off. The two little girls who watched the moon and listened to the piano also joked that he was wearing this suit more beautifully. Handsome, with a smile all over his face.

It's a pity that there is not enough time for smugness, Gao Gong returned to the mansion not long after, and immediately sent someone to call Gao Yushi over.As a result, Gao Wushi looked at the big red python robe on Gao Gong's body, and immediately froze.

Gao Gong didn't notice Gao's pragmatic expression, but said with a serious face: "It's too much for you to meddle in my answer this time. Some people in Beijing may have some ideas..."

Gao Wushi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Sanbo, I just happened to meet this time, and I needed my imperial envoy title to go to Deshengbao to lure the enemy."

Gao Gong glanced at him sideways, and snorted softly: "Then you must go? Are you an envoy?"

"Uh, senior brother Huazhang went with Lord Jianchuan at that time." Gao Wushi explained with a guilty conscience.

Gao Gong glared at him: "You volunteered to go to Fort Desheng, wouldn't I know?" Then he waved his hand again: "Now is not the time to talk about these things, no matter why you go, anyway, you are meddling in this matter If there are too many, there will always be people who will not be happy... I mean, you will return to Xinzheng for reference in February next year, and now it will be November anyway, so you should go back to your hometown in advance to prepare."

Gao Wushi was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said, "I'm going back now, isn't it a bit early?"

Gao Gong shook his head and said: "It's not too early, because you still have to go to Anyang on the way."

"Anyang?" Gao Wushi thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "Oh, Sanbo means..."

　I guess everyone can't guess what "Sanbo's meaning" is, hehe... In addition, I would like to thank the book friend "fengjiyue" for the reward, thank you!
