eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 385 No one can mess with His Majesty's politics!
"In the carriage, but Gu Shilang?!"

Before the carriage completed its turn, someone yelled.

The chariots and horses of Shaofu and Zhang Chi's face are all familiar.

What made Gu Zuo more familiar was this voice,

Through the gap in the curtain, he glanced out quietly, and his mood became complicated for a while.

Isn't that the same Xing Guan, Jiang Yong and Song Wen we met on the boat earlier?
Song Wen's impression was not very deep, but he just remembered that this person looked upright, with a thin figure and a bit of a genius.But he still remembers the six-fingered Xing Guan and the big buck-toothed Jiang Yong,
After all, they look weird.

And don't judge people by their appearance, among the three, Gu Zuo still thinks that Xing and Jiang are the more prominent.

Originally, he had the same thoughts as the emperor, that is, to wait until the end of the imperial examination in October,
If they are lucky enough to go to high school, then the subsequent contacts and arrangements will naturally go smoothly.If you are just a Juren, you will always be restricted in the future.

Yes, what is the purpose of going to Beijing in spring?
Naturally, I study with peace of mind and prepare for the exam, and go to someone in advance, what are you doing?

What do they do?Delay others from studying.What not to do?Then there is no need to look for it.

It's a pity that things backfired, but I somehow met them here today.

Looking behind the three of them, there was indeed a crowd gathering.

Eunuchs chaotic politics... These words are not casual.

"Deputy Director Zhang."

"The subordinate is here."

"You go and call those three people... Also, don't stay here anymore, take them to Shuiyun Jian. I will see them there."

"Yes."

After Zhang Chi went down, Song Heng was still curious, "But what's so special about those three people?"

Gu Zuo replied: "Your Majesty is actually very talented, but the Ming Dynasty has too much territory and too many government affairs. Many things are too late for your Majesty to do, and you can't do them well. Therefore, in fact, you are more inclined to appoint ministers in this area. People People say that Shaofu You Today was brought out by me, Gu Zuo, but it is not true, but many people want to follow my path again, so they keep popping up."

"As for these three people, they were born in a family of merchants, and they have a very different understanding of trade and currency than ordinary people. Of course, the specific future will depend on their own fortunes. This official cannot bear to involve practical officials in court battles."

Emperor Zhengde has been in power until now, the most obvious change in the court is the rise of practical officials.At the beginning, Wang Jia gave lectures in the academy, advocating the theory of "manipulating the world and applying it to practice".

Some officials from here are actually more favored by the emperor than the Hanlin Academy.

A typical example is Wang Xian, who entered the servant's room and now cooperates with Song Heng in relocating ordinary people in the southern city of the capital and mobilizing them to build their own houses. He was ordered to set up a bank. How did the room scene appear?
Of course, there is also Zhang Li who has taken up such a high position as inspector in Fujian.

To say that they have really made any great achievements, it is not.But it seems that once the situation or task is urgent, the emperor will favor these officials to take the top.

And in the Shaofu, there is no shortage of officials who listened to the lectures at that time.

This is true for Song Heng and Zhang Chi.

As for the Hanlin Academy, it is obvious that few have come out.

But the emperor also has reasons, because the Imperial Academy itself is going to suffer, so let's suffer, slowly, and have the ability to crush him, the emperor, to death.

Anyway, the person who is now serving as a daily lecturer is still a daily lecturer.

Normally, this is a very popular position, because the Japanese lecturers give lectures directly to the emperor and get close to the emperor, so there will naturally be more opportunities.

But right now, there are so many actions in the Ming Dynasty's government affairs, and no one is seen to be sent by the emperor to do any major things.

Compared with various visible and tangible major reforms, this kind of change in the Ministry of Officials under the emperor's behest is actually both recessive and important.

This is of course Zhu Houzhao's intention, and he will do the same in the future, that is, it will take a long time to tell the officials that the practical officer will be promoted faster.

Others take their time.

Of course, if there are really outstanding students in the Imperial Academy, or if they meet some famous historical figures, they will let them go out to exercise.

For example, during the Great Court Meeting, the Ministry of Officials adjusted Mao Ji's position as a lecturer of the Imperial Academy and a lecturer of Jingyan. Now he is the current chief political envoy in Zhejiang.

Mao Ji was born in Tianshun in the seventh year and is 43 years old this year.In history, he really became a high-ranking official ten years after Zhengde. He served as a minister, a minister, and a chief assistant during the Jiajing period. He lived to be more than 80 years old.

Before that, he was a Qingliu official, mainly serving as a lecturer, participating in the compilation of memoirs and other such affairs, so he was also evaluated as "exquisite knowledge and beautiful writing style".

This is Zhu Houzhao's name, so it is natural to give him a chance to practice.

Others wish for luck.

Changes in the officialdom, there is a consensus on one thing, that is, the emperor sends you to a local office, which means that you will start to get lucky.

Speaking of it, Zhu Houzhao has worked hard for several years to make civil officials realize this.Now it's finally done.

The resulting effect is that local officials have changed their past laziness.Because those who really sit in the positions of governor, chief envoy, and inspector clearly know that the emperor's eyes are on them.

If you care about fame and fortune and want to be promoted, then please work hard, make achievements in politics, be transferred to a servant, and see the emperor several times a year.

If you are a "thousands of dung" and claim to be an official of the people, then please do a good job, because this position is enough for you to fulfill your ideals and ambitions.

After this effect was formed, it was easy for Zhu Houzhao.He just needs to strengthen this effect.Let the officials be convinced again and again, oh, what I think is right, the emperor promoted officials according to this method.that's it.

That's why Gu Zuocai said that he didn't want these three young people who could become practical officials to get involved in boring political battles too early and too deeply.

Just like Hangul did to him.

He does the same to others.

In the room between the water and clouds,
Gu Zuo seemed more silent than before.

About the salt class, Hanwen reported to the emperor on his behalf.

Right now, there will be no problems with Han Wen, because he is the presiding judge who is deeply trusted by the emperor, but the seed has already been planted.When the accounts are settled in the future, will the Korean language that offended so many people not be affected at all?

It is almost impossible.

But Gu Zuo didn't go to Hanwen, but turned around and did his own thing.

This incident made him mature a lot. A mature person should know what he is going to do.

"Young Situ, people are here."

Hearing Zhang Chi's voice, Gu Zuo turned his head and said, "Bring them in. Besides, you and Song Si are busy, I don't need anyone here. Just bring me the things that will be published in "Ming Pao" tomorrow." .”

"Yes."

Gu Zuo was arrested that day,

Those three people already knew that the name 'Zhan You' was fake, and knew his identity.

When we meet again now, how do we deal with ourselves?

In comparison, Gu Zuo, who was older, was still more experienced. He directly invited them to take a seat, and apologized: "My identity is sensitive, and I cannot show my real name to others. Please don't blame the three friends."

Xing Guan, Jiang Yong, and Song Wen didn't dare to make mistakes, "Where is the word, Situ?"

"There is no young Situ today. It is Gu Zuo who wants to thank the three of you. Come and sit down."

Although the three of them are Juren, they are not Jinshi after all, and they have no official status.In fact, things in the palace, the emperor's plan, and the arrangement of the Shaofu are not suitable to talk about, otherwise he would not want to wait until the imperial examinations are released.

From the looks of it right now, we can only talk about the situation we just encountered, but Gu Zuo is really not interested in knowing what happened there.

In the end, it was Xing Guan who spoke first, and even knelt down to him, saying: "Brother Zhan was the Young Situ back then, so I have no choice but to speak. Young Situ is deeply trusted by His Majesty, he is upright and concerned about the country and the people. Now there are eunuchs in the court. Worry, I wonder if Young Situ is willing to report to the Emperor Ming to set things right?!"

"Oh." Gu Zuo couldn't help it, "What's the situation there? Why did you suddenly say that eunuchs are messing with the government?"

Jiang Yong added: "It's also some scholars who gathered in private and talked too much. Although they may have violated the law, it's just that everyone hears about this and they are indeed full of complaints..."

"Young Situ!"

Gu Zuo stretched out his hand, "I said that today is a gathering of friends. There are no young Situ here. It's best for you to think of me as Zhan You. Besides, if you think of me as a friend, please listen to what I have to say. Brother Xing, you should also take care of me first." stand up."

Xing Guan and the other three looked at each other and sat down.

In the heat from the four teacups, Gu Zuo said, "None of you have seen His Majesty, but I have."

"Yes."

"I dare to guarantee with the head of this item," Gu Zuo pointed to his own head, and said word by word: "Even if Wang Zhen and Wang Zhi are born again, they will not be able to mess with His Majesty's affairs!"

The categorical words of these words stunned the three of them, because the facts of the Ministry of Punishment were right in front of them.

"The water in the court is very deep, not to mention the three of you, even me, sometimes I can't figure out the context. Logically speaking, anyone who knows a little bit about His Majesty should understand that no one can mess with the government. I don't Know where these words come from, who said them, and for what purpose."

"But what I know for sure is that it's not good for you to participate in such a thing. When I saw you on the boat, I knew that the three of you have some real talents. But this is the capital, and crouching tigers are everywhere, isn't it? If you have the talent, you can go unimpeded.”

At the beginning, the emperor even killed a person who Gu Zuo pleaded for mercy.Daming ZTE never relied on the individual talent of a certain person.For Zhu Houzhao, he did not rely on Butcher Zhang to eat hairless pigs.

So if the three of them committed a taboo, they should be expelled or they should be exiled.

Gu Zuo said so much because he couldn't bear such a thing to happen.

Looking at the expressions of the three of them, they were all struggling, so Gu Zuo had no choice but to add, "This is what I say from the bottom of my heart."

Jiang Yong asked: "...Young Situ, do you know why your Majesty will let the Supervisor of Rites supervise the trial?"

Gu Zuo frowned a little, "I can't answer your question, because I don't care about it very much, and I haven't asked His Majesty for instructions. Three friends, let me put it this way. I can keep you in official uniform for things like currency and currency. I said this, and it will be valid as long as I am still an official. But if you believe in other people's nonsense and still participate in it, then say no What is waiting for you is the disaster of prison. Take another ten thousand steps and say, the exam is right in front of you, if you don’t go to review your homework, what are you doing here to take care of these things?”

Xing Guan and Jiang Yong blushed a little, "... We also heard that the matter seems to be very serious."

After all, the examples of Wang Zhen and Wang Zhi are not too long ago.Civil servants are deeply and painfully sensitive to the memory of eunuchs taking power.

Gu Zuo also felt a little unusual,
Perhaps, he should enter the palace and report to the emperor.
