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

Chapter 623

The emperor was originally moved by Shen Shikang's proposal, but when he thought of the purpose of supporting Gu Chengyu, he dismissed the idea.

Gu Chengyu is still useful, so of course it is impossible for him to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs right now.

Besides, even if Gu Chengyu worked in the Hanlin Academy, he could still solve the household affairs for him.And the little Jiujiu in Shen Shikang's heart, how could he not know?

Dai Yuanji of the Ministry of War originally wanted to compete with Shen Shikang, although he was a little dissatisfied with his son's love of talking on paper, but he had to admit that this son did have some skills.

If he came to the Ministry of War, with his careful teaching, he might be able to accomplish a lot.

But the emperor only hesitated for a moment before refusing, maybe he had other plans for this person, so he naturally chose to wait and see what happened.

The emperor didn't signal De'an to announce his resignation, but just watched the courtiers below him remain silent, which made everyone's hearts pick up again, and they couldn't help but bend their backs even more.

De'an was also puzzled, seeing the emperor's tired face, he became anxious.For him, what does the tea tax and salt tax of those Lao Shizi have to do with him?He only cares about whether the emperor's dragon body can bear it.

De'an cleared his throat, and the sound of coughing echoed in the quiet hall, startling all the ministers standing under the steps.

Seeing that the emperor did not stop him, De'an immediately understood. It seems that the court meeting should be over.

He raised his voice and was about to shout, but the emperor suddenly spoke again.

"Where is Gu Chengyu, who was compiled by the Imperial Academy?"

De'an breathed a sigh of relief, was interrupted halfway, and almost lost his breath.He quickly glanced at the emperor, feeling a little resentful in his heart.When he cleared his throat, the emperor didn't stop him!

Gu Chengyu's heart skipped a beat, quite surprised.

"Chen is here!"

Everyone was also very puzzled, did Gu Chengyu have something to do?That's right, since it was Gu Chengyu's idea, only Gu Chengyu knows the details.Therefore, it is not uncommon for Gu Chengyu to assist the Ministry of Households in handling this matter.

The emperor paused for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "Gu Chengyu has made great contributions to the compilation and writing of the Hanlin Academy, and I have promoted you to be a student of the Sixth Rank Imperial Academy."

To Gu Chengyu, this was really a surprise.

"Thank you, Lord Long En! Long live my emperor!" Gu Chengyu didn't expect that the emperor would give him such a big benefit before the tea tax was implemented.

Originally, he didn't dare to think about the seat of the waiter.After all, his time in the Imperial Academy was too short, just over a month, and he still felt incredible that he was promoted so quickly.

Regarding Gu Chengyu's promotion, there was an immediate dispute in the court.

Xia Qing's complexion darkened a little, and he was promoted too soon after entering the Imperial Academy.It is said that offering advice is meritorious, but who knows what will happen after the tea tax is implemented?This is too early.

Besides, his disciple is still a seventh-rank editor, and Gu Chengyu is already one level higher than the official. If he is promoted to another level this time, the distance between the two will be even greater.

Thinking of this, he was a little unwilling.He secretly glanced at Zhang Shuo and Li Wei, and gave them a secret wink.

Li Wei was a little unhappy, you are not joking, how can the emperor take back what he said so easily?
Now that it has been announced in front of all officials, it is a certainty.If he goes up at this time, isn't that asking for trouble?The emperor became angry, and even if his official position was taken lightly.

Zhang Shuo secretly sighed, he had to listen to what the teacher said!Although he didn't have much affection for the little junior, the teacher hinted that if he didn't express anything, the teacher would definitely take his anger on him afterwards.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo decided to be an early bird.He didn't believe that all the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony had no objection to this matter. How could anyone be promoted so quickly?Such a precedent cannot be set, otherwise those new officials in the future will inevitably have high ambitions, and it is not good to be too ambitious.

Zhang Shuo came out, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Seeing that it was Zhang Shuo, the emperor glanced at Xia Qing who was standing in front with an expressionless face.After a long while, Zhang Shuo agreed when Zhang Shuo was uneasy.

"Does Zhang Aiqing have objections to this matter?" The emperor asked coldly.

Sweat broke out on Zhang Shuo's forehead instantly, and he swallowed all the questioning words in his stomach.After thinking about it, I picked the most tactful word and said it.

"Your Majesty! Gu Xiuzhuan's advice is indeed meritorious, but he has only been in the Imperial Academy for more than a month. In terms of seniority, those old Hanlin have been there for several years, or even decades. Gu Xiuzhuan may not be able to convince everyone ah!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, if you really set a precedent, it will be very difficult to appoint, dismiss, and resign officials in the Ministry of Officials in the future. Your Majesty, please think again!"

Yu Zheng had been making gourds with sawn mouths since he came to court, and now he couldn't help but go out and raise objections to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I think that Zhang Shilang's words are justified. If this is the first of its kind, it will be really difficult to do the job of the official department. It is not a good thing for the newly promoted officials, and people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate."

Later, officials raised objections one after another, and the emperor's complexion became even more gloomy.Even if he is given a sixth-rank official position now, will he be restrained by those people?
"Hmph! In terms of seniority? Those old ministers have indeed been officials for many years, but what can they do during their tenure? They have been mediocre for decades, and even want to become officials. They just want to do things step by step. If I don't use this method to motivate them, I'm afraid they thought that only through seniority can they be promoted?"

The emperor's words overturned a whole boatload of people. Among the officials in this hall, apart from Gu Chengyu, which one is not a veteran?Could it be that the emperor despises their inaction?
The emperor was furious, and wanted to blurt out another sentence.But after a pause, he didn't say anything.

These old ministers come to court every day, but they can't solve the problem.Could it be that there is only one person available in this court?

Seeing that the emperor lost his temper, everyone didn't dare to say any more.

However, he was naturally unhappy in his heart, and he gave Gu Chengyu who was kneeling on the ground a glare.The emperor said that they were old ministers who did nothing, but Gu Chengyu was promoted, which made them feel uncomfortable.

Gu Chengyu felt a chill in his heart, the emperor put him on the fire and roasted him!After saying this, wouldn't that make him offend all the officials?
Those people dare not resent the emperor, but they are not so polite to him.

Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment. Could it be that the emperor wants to take a drastic step to make him a pure and lonely minister?

This is impossible, if there is no contact in the officialdom, it will not be far away.Sweat broke out on Gu Chengyu's forehead, and he made up his mind in just a moment.

"Report to the emperor! My minister is bold and has something to say." The emperor must be in a bad mood at the moment, and his next words may displease the emperor, so Gu Chengyu is also a little uneasy.

"Oh? Gu Aiqing also has objections?"
