The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1176

After they surrounded the Zhou mansion, they discovered that apart from the servants and female relatives, there was not a single bloodline in the mansion, regardless of the concubine.It can be seen that Zhou Yuan has been planning for many days and has already made preparations.

And what's even more hateful is that those female relatives have been dead for a long time, and even their bodies are stiff.Even those servants who served the master personally, none of them survived, and all of them died under the poison, which shows that Zhou Yuan was ruthless.

The Zhou mansion that the prince ordered people to surround was like an empty shell.That Zhou Yuan never disappeared, and he didn't know which group of people this person had colluded with.

"Such rebellious ministers and thieves should be punished!" If Gu Chengyu and others hadn't stopped him that day, I'm afraid they would have succeeded.

Shen Shikang was very angry, thinking that His Highness almost fell into Zhou Yuan's hands that day, now thinking about it, he still feels a little scared.

Shen Shikang suddenly thought that Gu Chengyu was really talented, if the crown prince wanted to use this person again after he ascended the throne, how could their civil servants still have a bright future?
So he changed his mind, and suggested from this: "Your Highness! Gu Shaoqing is both civil and military, and his martial arts is also quite profound. If he is transferred to a military position, he can protect His Highness well. If it doesn't work, go to the border to deal with the Daxing thief. It is bound to be able to perform miracles repeatedly.”

Hearing this, Qian Licong immediately felt that Shen Shikang's plan was very clever. When the emperor was alive, Gu Chengyu had obtained a holy family, stirring up wind and rain in the court hall. How could there be other civil servants with a bright future?

Whether it's the tea tax, the reform of the salt tax law, or the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River, Gu Chengyu has used his own power to lead the courtiers like them by the nose, faintly leading the way.

Looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's reliance on Gu Chengyu in recent days, it must be that after he ascended the throne, Gu Chengyu has gone through two generations of emperors' relatives, and he is afraid that he will be even more rampant than before.

In the past, Xia Qing was holding back this person, but now Xia Qing tried his best to clear up his suspicions, and wanted to return to the top, but it was impossible.

Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lenients the net, his power will drop sharply.It would be difficult to restrain this person again.

Furthermore, this person is not only talented, but also very scheming.It's not easy to deal with if you stay above the court.If you move it far away, no matter how talented you are, you won't be able to turn the tide.

"Your Highness! I think Master Shen's words are right. We all witnessed Gu Shaoqing's fighting power yesterday. Since this person is so skilled in martial arts, if he is not a military officer, he will hinder the opponent's future."

The officials present here have different expressions, hindering Gu Chengyu's future, these words are not aimless.

As we all know, it is extremely difficult for this civil servant to be promoted.Not only must there be political achievements, but also seniority.But military officers don't have so many shackles, as long as they make meritorious deeds, they can be promoted.

For example, the generals guarding the border, if there is a war together, as long as they dare to go to the battlefield and fight the enemy bravely, it is not difficult to make meritorious service.

But martial arts is so good, but if the children of aristocratic families can learn literature, no one wants to learn martial arts, why is that?

Probably because Dayan emphasized literature over military affairs, civil servants could enter the cabinet and be promoted to first-rank officials to chief assistants.The cabinet has the right to draw up votes, and all memorials are first reviewed by the cabinet and then presented to the emperor.

The memorials approved by the cabinet must be able to influence the emperor's decision. How much authority is this?And what about the military officer?So what if you become a first- and second-rank member?
Either stationed in the local administration, or went to the border to quell the war.

If it is administered by one party, it will not be able to return to the capital and cannot enter the power center.If you go to fight on the battlefield, then life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky.

Regardless of the rank of the civil servants, if they can stay in the capital.Above the imperial court, the life and death of generals can be decided by the touch of the upper and lower mouths. This is the difference between civil and military positions.

Furthermore, if a general holds the military power in his hands, if he repeatedly makes military exploits, it is easy to overwhelm the master and arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

Since the founding of the country, the military generals who fought with the emperor, except for those few princes who immediately took off their armor and gave up their military power, have reproduced for generations.

And among those successful and famous generals who refused to let go of their military power, which one won?

Today is no longer the time to fight the country, and the guard of the country can still rule the world.Nowadays, even if a military officer is on the same level as a civil official, if they meet, they still bow their heads a little.

If Gu Chengyu is transferred to a military post, let those military officers have a headache!

The prince frowned when he heard this, Gu Chengyu is very talented, it would be a pity if he was a military officer.

Take the previous disaster relief matter as an example, if Gu Chengyu was not sent there, and someone else wanted to provide disaster relief with only 5 taels of silver issued by the court, it would undoubtedly be a dream.

Moreover, Gu Chengyu had already settled the victims and quelled the riots before the relief money was issued.

It also strengthened the embankment and implemented major projects such as diversion of the embankment, which is really a move to benefit the people.

Which one of these does not need the support of money?What's more, Gu Chengyu also has many good strategies to fill the treasury, in short, he is a capable minister.

If it can be assisted, the country will be stable, and the prosperity of the Great Evolution is not impossible.

Can.
The crown prince sighed, now that the people of Daxing have broken into the territory of Dayan, the situation at the border is unknown now.But judging from the movement of Daxing, it is impossible to say that war will start.

However, Daxing has several powerful generals, and Dayan has been helpless.Gu Chengyu is brave and resourceful, and it is easy to march and set up an army. Coupled with his superb martial arts, it took ten years to win Daxing.

This is a feat of expanding the territory, and even his father could not do it, but he has done it.

If so, his merits and virtues will be recorded in the history books of later generations for future generations to look up to.

Thinking of it this way, the prince couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, and his face couldn't help showing a bit of excitement.

"Your Highness! This matter must not be allowed. Gu Shaoqing is from a professional background and has made achievements in the imperial court. This person is so talented, if he is transferred to a military position, wouldn't he be overqualified?"

Jiang Mingyuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, saw that the prince was moved, and couldn't help feeling anxious.If Gu Chengyu really abandons literature and pursues martial arts, what future is there?

Hu Mao bowed his head deeply, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.Gu Chengyu, oh Gu Chengyu!Is this the emperor you have chosen?
A good bird chooses a tree to live in, but Gu Chengyu chose this one.How much does the master value Gu Chengyu?How could he be willing to transfer Gu Chengyu to a military post?
And it takes no effort for the crown prince to acquire such talents, so don't you know how to cherish them?

The crown prince thought that if Gu Chengyu chose him, he could sit back and relax and act so recklessly?snort!Does the prince know that Gu Chengyu is a good friend?
Gu Chengyu can choose you today, and Gu Chengyu can vote for others in the future.Hu Maoshen shook his head, such a development is very beneficial to them, let's see!
The situation is changing and unpredictable.If anyone can stir up the situation, it should be that person!

"My lord! The nearby residents have been checked, and there is no suspicious person." Ming Yan stepped forward and reported to Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu frowned. He stood in front of a dilapidated house and looked at the little beggar hiding in the corner looking at him with fear.
