During the time when Gao Jingshi finished writing this letter, the news that Wang Jiaping and Liang Menglong's resignations had been approved had spread to the outer court. Almost all the ministries and offices in Beijing had learned about it. For a while, some people were excited, some sighed, and some were silent.
.But no matter what kind of person you are, you have a kind of awareness at this moment: a new era has arrived.
Needless to say, those who sigh long and short, they are generally of the same school of thought. Although they lament that the era of high pragmatism and governance has finally arrived, in fact they have been mentally prepared for this. If you come, come, there is a way.
There must be a road to the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. What else can it do?
The silent faction is naturally dominated by the neutral faction, which is the traditional Neo-Confucian school. Not long ago, they finally had some intention to unite around Wang Jiaping. Who knows how long it has been, and Wang Jiaping himself has returned to his hometown...
Come to think of it, Neo-Confucianism has been in decline so far. It seems that the general trend is over. Let’s take it one step at a time.
Those who rejoiced were naturally the officials of the Practical School, and their feeling was undoubtedly that of elation.
Speaking of which, it has been nearly twenty years since Zhang Siwei suddenly worried that the position of chief minister controlled by the Shi school for three consecutive terms fell into the hands of the Xin school for nearly twenty years.
It's chaotic, maybe Shen Shixing can continue to work, it's scary to think about it.
However, while they were frightened, everyone suddenly thought of another thing: Shen Shixing had been in power for a very long time, nearly twenty years. However, although he had served as chief minister for a long time, he did not have the power that he had after having controlled the government for twenty years.
It stands to reason that with such a long time in power, a huge force of the Xin School should have been cultivated and supported. However, the reality is exactly the opposite. In the past twenty years, the Xin School has made almost no achievements and has been suppressed by the Real School at all levels.
After fighting, not only did the power not increase significantly, but Wang Xiaoer celebrated the New Year, and every year became worse than the previous year.
Because Gao Pragmatism was destined to be the First Assistant today, everyone suddenly thought of this, and then suddenly realized - it's not that Shen Shixing didn't work hard, it's because our senior boss is too dazzling, so even if Shen Shixing is sitting on the throne of the First Assistant
, in fact, all I can do is watch Gao Ge Lao shine like the rising sun over Kyushu!
There is no need to repeat the contributions and achievements that Mr. Gao Ge has made over the years. In short, it seems to be just four words: All wishes come true!
All the reforms he wanted to push were successfully implemented, and every one of them was later proven to be beneficial to the country and the people; whenever he led a large army to go on an expedition, it was invincible, and no enemy bandit or bandit could defeat it.
If you get a favor in front of him, it will be like rolling oil and snow, sweeping across thousands of troops like a rolling mat.
When everyone thought of this, they couldn't help but sigh. It seems that although my practical learning was inspired by Gao Wenzhenggong, but its prosperity is probably due to the little "Gaoxin Zheng" today!
Feeling emotional, everyone has not forgotten the "business". They are all thinking about when to give a gift to the Nanning Marquis Mansion to celebrate Gao Ge Laorong's promotion to the first minister. Fortunately, Gao Yuanfu himself is the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, so everyone will give
When giving gifts, he does not need to consider the value of the gift too much. The main thing is to highlight the sincerity of his heart...
Back to Gao Pangshi, he didn't even bother to think about the reactions of foreign officials after hearing the news. Instead, he seriously responded to the cabinet's memorandum. Then, he received the imperial edict from the Chief of Ceremonies.
, which is the imperial decree to appoint him as the Grand Scholar of Zhongji Palace.
He had to receive the decree, but after receiving it, he had to return home immediately and hand over the speech he had written before, so he immediately returned home with the decree.
Gao pragmatic returned to the mansion and sent someone to deliver Cishu. Gao Mo suddenly came over and said a few words of congratulations first, then changed the topic and whispered: "Sir, fish lanterns were hung on the west floor of the princess mansion today.
"
Gao Pingshi was startled, then nodded and said, "I understand."
"I hung three of them." Gao Mo added.
Gao Pragmatic was very surprised and confirmed: "Really?"
Gao Mo lowered his head and said, "I have confirmed again and again that the two hidden whistles reported three."
Gao pragmatic frowned, but immediately stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go there right away. Uncle Mo, please arrange the carriage and be careful to stay hidden."
Gao Mo replied: "No matter what the master said, the carriage has been arranged, but...does Madam want to inform you, or find some reason?"
Gao Pragmatic hesitated for a moment and then said: "There is no need to find any excuses, just tell the truth."
"Yes, sir." Gao Mo said, "The carriage is in Dongyuan. Will you go now, sir?"
"Since it's three fish lanterns, don't delay, let's leave now." Gao pragmatically said, immediately stepped out, and explained at the same time: "I got the imperial order of the chief minister today, and I just handed in the resignation. I should have stayed."
It's okay to close the door at home to thank guests. You can order the door to be closed later and no one in the house can go out at will."
"Yes, sir." Gao Mo still answered simply.
The carriage prepared by Gao Mo for Gao Jingshi is naturally not what Gao Jingshi usually uses. Although the carriage still has the coat of arms of the Nanning Marquis Mansion, it also has the coat of arms of Jinghua Trading Company. In addition, this carriage does not look like a "luxury version" at first glance.
Ordinary people would only think that a certain shopkeeper from Jinghua Trading Company was out when they saw him, but they would never expect that the person sitting inside would be Mr. Gao Ge.
The carriage drove all the way to a large warehouse of Jinghua Trading Company next to Princess Yongning's Mansion. The carriage did not stop outside the courtyard, but drove directly into the courtyard, blocking the eyes of the surrounding pedestrians.
At this time, Gao Pingshi had simply changed into a set of clothes in the car and put on a sapphire blue Taoist uniform. Naturally, he also took off the black gauze on his head and changed into a simple scholar's scarf of the same color.
He got off the carriage and walked directly into a guarded warehouse. The two people at the door of the warehouse were holding bayonet style Wanli Type II muskets. When they saw him coming, they immediately stood at attention, put the butts of the guns on the ground, and whispered:
"I've met the Marquis!"
Gao Pragmatic nodded, and although his face was serious, he still said: "Thank you for your hard work." The two of them felt excited when they heard this, but because of the strict system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they did not reply. They just subconsciously raised their chests and chins.
Lift slightly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Pragmatic entered the warehouse and turned a wall lamp 360 degrees. There was only a creaking sound, and a place seemed to be swinging.
The cabinet shelf full of goods was divided into two, revealing a passage at the rear. Gao Pragmatic didn't look too much and went straight into the passage.
There is no oil lamp in this passage. There is a wall lamp every few steps on both sides of the wall. The wall lamp is not a candle, but a luminous pearl. Although the brilliance of the luminous pearls is not dazzling, such a close arrangement is.
Can totally light the way.
Gao Pragmatic had long been accustomed to all this, and without taking a second glance, he quickly walked through the passage, opened the same mechanism at the end, took out a key, unlocked the door, and pushed the door open.
Outside the door is a study room, which is very elegantly decorated. All kinds of furniture are made of mahogany, making the whole study room glow in red. Incense seems to be burning in the study room, and Gao Pragmatic can smell it as soon as he opens the door.
"Gao Lang!" Princess Yongning's joyful voice sounded in the room. Gao Qingshi turned around and saw the eldest princess walking over quickly, her beautiful eyes looking up and down at him in surprise.
, and suddenly threw herself into his arms.
"Gao Lang...how are you doing lately?" Her voice came from Gao Jingshi's arms. It seemed hazy and hard to hear clearly, but Gao Jingshi could clearly feel her excitement.
This made Gao Pingshi a little touched and a little ashamed. Although the Yongning Princess Mansion built by Beijing Capital Infrastructure has a special passage for him to meet the eldest princess, he actually doesn't come very often. Especially this time.
After returning from North Korea, this was his second visit here - he only came once a year ago.
Although he didn't come often, looking at Her Royal Highness the Princess's behavior, it was clear that she had no intention of blaming her. On the contrary, she was overjoyed when she saw him, just like she had been many years ago.
"I'm fine, I'm just very busy..." Gao Pragmatic subconsciously said this without knowing whether he was making excuses for himself.
"Well, I know." Princess Yongning immediately raised her head, looked at Gao Qingshi and said, "I knew Gao Lang was very busy, so I didn't want to hang up the lantern at first, but today I received news that Wang Liang Ergong has been arrested.
The imperial brother agreed, but there is something that has to be told to Gao Lang immediately, so this is why..."
Gao Pingshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but pretended to have a look of regret and sighed: "I thought Yao Lao missed me, alas..."
Today, the eldest princess Yongning is actually in her early thirties, but I don’t know if it’s because she and Gao Jingshi don’t spend much time together. When Gao Jingshi teases her like this, she immediately blushes, making her look quite shy.
.
However, even so, she still leaned her head on Gao Jingshi's chest and whispered: "Of course I think so too." As if to strengthen her persuasion, she hugged Gao Jingshi's arm harder and held Gao Jingshi tightly.
Hugging her tightly, she put her head on Gao Pragmatic's left chest, seeming to be listening carefully to Gao Pragmatic's heartbeat.
I don’t know what kind of aromatherapy sachet was used on the eldest princess. It smelled very good. On a whim, Gao Pragmatic suddenly picked her up by the waist. The eldest princess was so surprised that she said "Ah" and then said hurriedly: "Gao Lang, Gao Lang
...Wait a minute, I still have something to talk to Gao Lang first."
"Really?" Gao Pragmatic didn't stop. He held her in his arms and walked to the study room while saying: "It doesn't matter what you say..."
The eldest princess Yongning was so embarrassed that she stretched out her hand and hit him gently, but she said as if begging for mercy: "Hey, Gao Lang, I really have something important to say, you... you should wait for me to say the serious things first!"
Gao pragmatically stood still, looked down at her, raised his eyebrows, and chuckled: "Oh...it turns out I just have to wait for a while."
Princess Yongning blushed and hid in his arms, whispering: "Well... just wait a moment."
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: It seems that there is really something important.
He is different from the eldest princess Yongning. Because the eldest princess is nominally a widow, although the princess's mansion lacks everything, except for her son Gao Luo, there are only eunuchs, maids and nuns in the mansion, so naturally she is focused on high things and pragmatism.
Although Gao Pragmatic doesn't have a lot of wives and concubines, he still has one wife and three concubines. There is always no shortage of women around him.
Therefore, Gao Jingshi's impatience just now was mostly just an act, but Princess Yongning was really lovesick. Even though she was shy, she still refused to show any rejection... Maybe she was subconsciously afraid that Gao Jingshi would turn her away.
Let’s reject the pretense and take it seriously.
Gao Jingshi laughed and carried her into the inner room of the study. This inner room was a resting place, and a bed was naturally arranged. Without saying anything, Gao Jingshi put her directly on the bed, and then kissed her gently, almost
Nose to nose, he asked: "What on earth do you have to talk about in such a hurry now?"
