Chapter 4 Where's Dad Going

The sandalwood in the study is swaying.

Zhang Juzheng took a sip of refreshing tea soup and sighed: "There is another reason, that is, Gaoge Lao will immediately launch an investigation into the Kedao, so he has to stay in Yuanfu for a few more months. At that time, it will inevitably be another bloody storm..."

Because only the Minister of Personnel has the power to investigate the Ministry of Personnel. If Li Chunfang left at this time, Gao Gong would succeed as the Chief Supervisor, so he was naturally worried that he would be given up as the Minister of Personnel at that time, and it would not be so convenient to do it again...

"Yes, it's only four years since the last Beijing inspection, and it's still two years later." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Gaoge Lao's illegal investigation, and it will definitely cause an uproar against censors. Mr. Zhao would not agree first."

When inspecting the Department, the Censorate also had to participate. It was unimaginable what the two of them would be fighting.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao Ge is strong and would rather break than bend. This time, he will probably break." Zhang Juzheng looked at the letters on the wall with unbearable grief, thinking to himself, "Avoid desire and avoid anger, just be natural," and added a sentence of "Spoiling on your face, lying flat and letting go."

"As soon as Yuan Fu left Kaichun, only Gao Ge Lao was left in the cabinet, and this life was difficult..."

When Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji were there, Gao Gong naturally wanted to pull him together in order to avoid being isolated. As soon as these two people left, I was afraid that his brother Su Qing would not need to take care of his uncle's feelings anymore.

When he thought that no one was going to use Gao Huzi as a punching bag in the future, he would come to him by swearing and talking nonsense. The decent Mr. Zhang felt suffocating.

Seeing his father-in-law's sad look, Mr. Zhao refused to tell him that after Gao Gong became the chief minister, he would still serve as the Minister of Personnel, completely covering the sky with one hand. At that time, his father-in-law's life would be even worse than he thought... For the New Year, don't make any more trouble for his father-in-law.

"Oh, that's all. It's just following the teacher's footsteps." Zhang Juzheng was just yelling bitterly to him. After all, these words were not allowed to be told to anyone, and he could only hide half of his son. "How did Mr. Cunzhai tolerate Yan Fenyi back then? I also followed suit. After all, Gao Bei had no son, so he didn't have to be called around by a little master all day..."

"..." Zhao Hao was speechless. He couldn't say that it was no big deal. He could endure it for a year or two before his father-in-law could make a big comeback. Not only did he become the regent of the Ming Dynasty, but he could also sit on the dragon bed...

"By the way, this year, your father will be in charge for three years." Zhang Juzheng was not the one who would be overwhelmed by frustration. He quickly adjusted his emotions and said to Zhao Hao: "Bugu has seen the examination of the examination and meritorious officers. Among the 1,400 magistrates in the country, he has won the first place for three consecutive years."

"Is that right?" Mr. Zhao couldn't help but be surprised and said, "I thought the number one this year would be Gao Shegong's man."

"First of all, Gaoge's old student has already passed the level of a county magistrate. Secondly, no matter how he is, he is fair in his work and clear in rewards and punishments." Zhang Juzheng picked up the cigar box and sniffed it gently at the end of his nose. This thing was naturally something Zhao Hao respected him, but Zhang Xianggong couldn't suck it, and he felt it was too choking. But he liked the taste of the cigar itself very much, which felt quite refreshing.

"Three times, Ling Zun's contribution is really amazing. Who dares to be above him?"

"Father-in-law is too good." Zhao Hao hurriedly smiled modestly, "My father has just done some insignificant work."

"In his three years in office, he built dikes to fight floods, promoted water conservancy, and cured schistosomiasis, turning the people's miserable beggar Kunshan into a fish and rice land where the people live and work in peace. The population has doubled, and the taxes are the best in the country! Is this the case in ancient times, right?" Zhang Juzheng pointed at him with a smile and said, "Don't you cannot view his achievements correctly just because he is your father."

"Maybe it's because my father is too kind..." Zhao Hao couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "I always feel that he doesn't seem to be of great significance."

"If he is nothing great, then all the 1,400 magistrates in the country should be put into beds and go home." Zhang Juzheng laughed and said, "Gaoge praised your father and wanted to wait for him to chat with him when he was pilgrimage, and then entrust with important tasks, but..."

According to the ancestral system, foreign officials should report their duties to the emperor or the Ministry of Personnel every three years, and then decide whether to remain in office, transfer or dismissal for the next three years... Of course, two hundred years have passed, and not many ancestral system can be maintained. Nowadays, many local officials have been working for three years and three years, but they cannot get a court report. This is not uncommon.

After a pause, Zhang Juzheng put down the cigar and said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty means that the emperor is not allowed to be a vassal, and even if he wants to be promoted, he cannot be an official in Beijing. The farther he has to arrange, the better. It is best to throw him into Qiongzhou to be an official..."

"Ah?" Zhao Hao said in surprise: "You can't go there, there are hairs..." As he said that, he realized that he had traveled to the station and stopped immediately.

"Don't worry, I'm sorry, my father and Gaoge Lao persuaded Your Majesty to stop you. Qiongzhou is the place to demote officials. Lingzun is the top scholar and has been ranked first in the exam for three consecutive years. If he is exiled to Qiongzhou, he will be executed publicly." Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly and said, "It's so hard to persuade him, Your Majesty finally gave up this idea... Alas, I really don't know what Your Majesty is thinking. If you say you hate Lingzun, that's the first top scholar in the new dynasty he has chosen. Besides, he also loves you very much."

"The power of heaven is unpredictable. My father and son are not complaining at all." Mr. Zhao said sincerely. He said that it was not just not complaining. He was simply grateful to the emperor for his grace for being a majesty. He was so kind...

"Really?" Zhang Juzheng glanced at Zhao Hao and found that he was not a fake.

"Really, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king." Mr. Zhao hurriedly smiled and said, "If Your Majesty really ordered your father to go to Qiongzhou, he would not have any complaints."

As for whether he has any complaints about his good looks, Mr. Zhao cannot guarantee it...

"Okay, Zhao Zhuangyuan is a kind elder. It's better not to return to Beijing in the past few years, so as to avoid getting involved in the whirlpool early. It's better to experience more experience and accumulate some achievements." Zhang Juzheng's evaluation of his in-laws was a little higher. He thought to himself that he really didn't know why such a gentleman gave birth to such a cunning thing?

Oh, yes, follow grandpa...

"Gaoge Lao told Bugu that he would move Lingzun to the local area after the New Year. With Lingzun's background and achievements, he would be promoted to the first level to the Yuanwailang when he went to Beijing to become an official. He would be promoted to the third level in the local area, from the sixth level to the fifth level, and no one could say."

"Will it be too fast to be promoted to level 3?" Zhao Hao asked softly.

"Hurry? Bugu has been promoted to seven levels in a row." Zhang Juzheng smiled faintly and said, "Besides, my in-laws are not young anymore. I will be promoted step by step, and I will not be able to catch up with the young people even if I turn white."

Facing his father-in-law, who is the king of Versailles, Zhao Hao smacked his lips and could only smile bitterly.

In fact, the average age of becoming a Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty was 32 years old. It was not too late for Mr. Zhao to be the top scorer at the age of 38. It was just that my father-in-law was surrounded by beasts who were in his early twenties, which made him feel that Mr. Zhao was too old...

"When Duke Cunzhai was promoted to his father, there were actually many people who were not convinced. But Bugu was so outstanding that he quickly shut up with his outstanding performance." Zhang Juzheng continued to say calmly: "What's more, Ling Zun was only promoted to a small fifth-level official, and there would be no criticism. Even if there is, I believe that with Ling Zun's super power, he will soon be able to achieve results that are enough to convince the public."

"Oh, yes..." Zhao Hao picked up the teacup and drank it all in one go. Damn, chatting with a genius who was looking at the mountains really requires a tough nerve as steel as strong as steel. Otherwise, he would have to doubt his life.

"Gaoge provides three choices. You can write a letter to ask Lingzun to see which one he likes." Zhang Juzheng raised three fingers and said, "One is the right senator of the Tongzhengsi Department of Nanjing, the other is the assistant magistrate of Guangxi Censorship, and the other is the Tongzhi of Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong... But for your father, you will be disappointed if Lingzun chooses the first one. It is better not to mess with his dog-tempered temper."

"That's to choose between Guangdong and Guangxi." Mr. Zhao said with a wry smile.

"You must tell Lingzun that this is not that Gaoge is suppressing him, but that he always cares about using steel on the blade. Aren't the most important members of the generals he relies on are all in Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiubian?" Zhang Juzheng said bitterly:

"After Altan negotiated peace, Jiubian should have said that he would be calm for a few years. Now the most chaotic thing in the Ming Dynasty is Guangdong and Guangxi, which is naturally the easiest place to establish achievements. Lingzun has proved himself in civil affairs. If he can smoothly comfort the chaos, the next career will be much easier."

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded. He wasn't going to do it anyway. "I wonder how my father-in-law thinks, how should my father choose?"

"It's hard to say." Zhang Juzheng shook his head slowly and said, "There is Yin Zhengmao in Guangxi, and he is your father's fellow countryman. Not to mention Lin Run from Guangdong, so there is no need to worry about wherever he goes. If you insist on saying it, I suggest going to Guangxi for my father. Although Wei Yinbao surrendered and rebelled again, Yin Zhongcheng can arrest him once and then again, so as long as you have a good relationship with him, you won't have to worry about not having a chance to make meritorious service."

This is implicit because everyone in the court and the country knew that Yin Zhengmao loved money, and Zhao Erye was known as the God of Wealth, so Bugu felt that they must be together.

"As for Guangdong, the situation is much more complicated." Zhang Juzheng said again: "There are so many pirates on the sea, and there are rebellious rioters in the mountains. Zeng Yiben, Lin Daoqian, Lin Feng, Lan Yiqing, Lai Yuanjue, Huang Mintai, Zhu Liangbao... It is countless, and it is difficult to suppress, and there is certain danger."

"That's how it is." Mr. Zhao said with a worried expression when he heard this: "With my father's warmth, I'm afraid he won't sit still and enjoy the fruits of his life. Instead, he wants to go to the most dangerous place to serve the country..."

"Zhao Zhuangyuan is really loyal and brave! In the future, Lingzun will be able to enter the capital. For his father, he will drink and have a good relationship with him!" Zhang Juzheng praised him with a loud voice and respected Zhao Zhuangyuan more and more. "But you write a letter to ask Lingzun first. It is decided that he will do it after all, and it is not your turn to be your son's rebellion."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Hao hurriedly responded humbly, and he had another problem with a feudal parent and always wanted to make decisions for his father.

But that is Chaozhou Prefecture, which is approximately the Chaoshan area of ​​later generations! Mr. Zhao will have no better foothold than this when he moves south next!
