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

Chapter 624 Shame

"I am naturally overjoyed that I can be promoted, and I am also grateful for the emperor's appreciation for me. But this official promotion is inevitably guilty, and the adults just said it was reasonable."

Sure enough, just after Gu Chengyu said a few words, the emperor's expression became very ugly.

The veins in the hands holding the dragon chair were exposed, and the eyes were even more sharp.

Under such coercion, Gu Chengyu had no choice but to continue to speak: "This minister has been an official for more than a month. Compared with the seniors in the Imperial Academy, his qualifications are naturally the lowest. However, this minister thinks that he is also considered an official in the matter of tea tax. A small contribution. Although the tea tax has not yet been implemented, the tax revenue will definitely not be less.”

Those officials were sullen, intending to see what kind of medicine was sold in Gu Chengyu's gourd.

"Of course, I just came up with an idea, and the subsequent implementation will need to be handled by the officials of the various yamen. I also know myself about the paper talk that the lord just said. After all, I don't have much experience and don't understand the details. However, the seat of the Imperial Academy attendant"

Gu Chengyu's words made those ministers look a lot better.

However, the emperor's complexion was gloomy and scary, Gu Chengyu dared to resist the order?
The eldest prince glanced at Gu Chengyu, this Gu Chengyu was quite courageous.

In fact, he can also understand this matter, Gu Chengyu is indeed caught in a dilemma, he has also guessed his father's plan at this moment, but will Gu Chengyu be willing?
If given a choice for him, he might not know what to do, okay?
The second prince frowned, this person is a good talent, why should father and these officials make things difficult for him?

He planned to ask a few words for Gu Chengyu later, such a good person should not be ruined because of such a thing.

The third prince was curious about what Gu Chengyu was going to say, after all, he had already seen that his father was on the verge of fury, was he trying to die?
Afraid of being isolated, isn't he afraid of the furious father?
Jiang Mingyuan was even more anxious. It was originally a good thing, but it turned into what it is now.

He sighed, it was also Gu Chengyu's bad luck!Too much sharpness is not a good thing after all.

He was ready and planned to intercede for Gu Chengyu later.

It's just that the emperor may hate Gu Chengyu in the future, and may even be dismissed from his official position.

No matter what it is, his official career will be ruined, and Jiang Mingyuan feels it is a pity.

"The seat of the servant, I really feel ashamed to take it."

After Gu Chengyu said this, the emperor's expression softened a little, but his face was still somber.

"Gu Xiuzhuan, do you also know that you are ashamed of this official position?" Gu Chengyu, who was kneeling on the ground in Xia Qing, sneered.

Gu Chengyu couldn't help cursing inwardly, you old man, a high-ranking official, but you always care about this little official like him, you are really narrow-minded.

"Cough! In fact, the humble official is just a polite sentence. The humble minister thinks that he is capable of serving as a servant, but in fact, everyone may have misunderstood the emperor. How can the emperor let the humble minister be promoted so easily? Your majesty, do you think so?" ?”

He is really in a dilemma in this matter, neither side is easy to offend!
It seemed that he was still too eager. The tea tax proposed today had already blocked some officials' money, and the emperor's words later pushed him to the forefront.

I hope the emperor can understand what he means, and hold his hand high and let him go.

The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, this Gu Chengyu is so shrewd, he doesn't know if he will handle it well in the future.

What he did was the same as what Gu Chengyu thought in his heart, just to make Gu Chengyu a pure minister.

Gu Chengyu was chosen at the beginning because of his shallow foundation and good talent, so he moved his mind to support him.

But this Gu Chengyu has a slick temperament, and his ability is too outstanding, so he can't help but feel worried again.

Glancing at Gu Chengyu, who was terrified, and thought about it again, it's okay!

If he is really a lonely minister, he will be too hindered in doing things in the future.He will be more careful in the future, it is a pity that this person is not needed.

The emperor pointed to Gu Chengyu who was below him, "You can guess what I'm thinking, that's right! How can such a good thing happen in this world?"

Since Gu Chengyu gave the steps, the emperor followed them.

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, it was so f*cking difficult to serve.

He also solved several problems for the emperor back and forth, but the emperor was still so guarded against him.

It seems that the king is suspicious by nature, but what the emperor said just now, he should be planning to let him go.

Everyone present saw it in their eyes and knew it well.

Gu Chengyu found a step for the emperor to go up and down, so they could only pretend not to know, after all, this would save them a bit of face, wouldn't it?
Some officials took a deep look at Gu Chengyu, who is a capable man.

Not only is he capable of handling affairs, but he is also somewhat capable in dealing with colleagues.

The emperor pondered for a moment, "Since you proposed the tea tax, when the Ministry of Household Affairs implements it, you should also contribute and come up with a regulation."

Gu Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, this matter is not difficult, the emperor has already arranged everything before.

After that, it becomes a special government office, how to prevent officials from filling their own pockets, and other trivial matters.

However, in order to prevent officials from taking advantage of this, he has to think carefully.

After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. If it is too harsh, those officials will definitely scold him countless times in their hearts.

Therefore, an appropriate leakage point is still necessary, and he can't offend those people to death.

"My Majesty, these were done by the adults of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and this humble minister is a master. However, I haven't explained the details just now, and I will draw up a detailed memorial for you to review later."

"Of course, this is just my humble opinion, which can be used as a reference. If there is any inappropriateness, please forgive me, the emperor and adults."

With such an order from the emperor, he is considered to have robbed the Ministry of Housekeeping.However, the Ministry of household benefits are not small.

The emperor has already given him the benefits, and the rest of the benefits have nothing to do with him.

The emperor assigned the Ministry of Accounts to manage the tea tax, and there was a lot of oil and water in it.

For this matter, their household department only needs to follow the plan he made, and it doesn't take much trouble.

The tea tax will definitely not be less. When the court has tasted the sweetness, will the Ministry of Households still worry about whether there are any greater benefits?

And he can show his face in front of the emperor and all the officials, sweep away the previous humiliation, and feel proud.

But this is just a one-shot deal for Gu Chengyu, and being promoted to a higher level means that this matter has nothing to do with him.

In the future, when people eat meat, he can't even drink soup.

Therefore, he saw that Shen Shikang didn't have much resentment towards him.

For Shen Shikang, it was like a pie in the sky, and there were many benefits.

Shen Shikang is an old man, so of course he thought more comprehensively than Gu Chengyu.

The Ministry of Finance couldn't think of a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and the emperor had already criticized him quite a bit.

If it weren't for the fact that he could barely confront Xia Qing, would the emperor tolerate him like this?

　Thanks to Ningmo No. 1 for the reward!
