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

Chapter 625

Don't say that because he is the second prince's uncle, Wan Xuenian is still the third prince's grandfather!The emperor did not soften his heart in the slightest.

Therefore, this incident not only eased the crisis of the national treasury, but also benefited their household department. More importantly, the emperor would not have to drag him down and scold him when he went to court in the future.

So what if the emperor said something immediately?After being scolded for so long, his face has been tempered.After the tea tax was settled, he would think about Yanyin again, so he wouldn't have to worry about the ridicule from his colleagues in the future.

Therefore, he only wanted Gu Chengyu to go to the household department before, but unfortunately the emperor did not agree.

Even the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs has no opinion, so other officials will not meddle in their own business.

The princes will not interrupt, the father is a golden man, and it is impossible to take back what has been said, so it is naturally impossible for them to make the father unhappy.

The second prince sneered secretly, the position of the attendant is only a sixth grade, is it worth these officials to go to war?It also affects the appointment and removal of official positions in the Ministry of Officials. This hat is really big.

How many talents like Gu Chengyu are there in this world?There are also very few.If those newly promoted officials had such ability, then the Dayan Dynasty would have prospered long ago.

After all, is it not that you are incompetent, but jealous of others?Logically speaking, raising the tea tax issue is enough for Gu Chengyu to be promoted.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, could it be that the emperor let him go so easily?How can the officials in the court give up?
"Do you still have any objections?" It was a step, and naturally the emperor could not really assign any difficult tasks to Gu Chengyu, after all, Gu Chengyu also shared a lot of worries for him.

For a while, the hall was a little quiet.Some officials are still dissatisfied, but they know that even if they raise objections, the emperor will not be shaken, so it is better not to be annoying.

Xia Qing glanced at Li Wei again, only to see that Li Wei was silent, just looking down at the ground.

He couldn't help being angry, Zhang Shuo, as his disciple, undoubtedly stood with him.

And he also valued Li Wei very much in the past, and took care of him a lot in the officialdom.But Li Wei didn't make a sound afterwards, which made him very dissatisfied.

"Father! Since the matter of the tea tax was brought up by Gu Xiuzhuan, I think it is not inappropriate to be promoted to the Imperial Academy. If seniority is judged according to seniority, then there are people in the officialdom who are older than the adults here. Then why don't you see them standing here?"

Everyone actually felt that the words of the second prince had some truths. Seniority is important, but ability is more important.Although the second prince's words were too straightforward, they were not angry this time.

After all, the reason why they can stand here is not because of their ability?Can incompetent people become high-ranking officials?

Thinking about it this way, everyone felt better.After all, the emperor spoke in a fit of anger. If they were really incompetent, why didn't the emperor take their official positions?
Gu Chengyu didn't care what the officials were thinking, he looked at the second prince strangely, he didn't expect the second prince to say good things about him, this was the first time they met today.

Seeing that the second prince had already made his mark, the eldest prince hurriedly followed.Gu Chengyu can't be made to be grateful to the second child, and feel that the favor owed to the second child is the most difficult to repay since ancient times.

Besides, as a son-in-law, he didn't support the will of the emperor, so the emperor didn't annoy him?
"That's right! Father. As the saying goes, ambition is not based on age. Similarly, in officialdom, you can't judge an official by age and the length of time you have been an official. As long as you have the ability, you can share your worries for the father and make a contribution to the court. If you don't have strength, then promotion is not impossible."

The emperor was a little surprised, not because of the boss.Instead, he was surprised that the second child actually opened his mouth to say a few words for Gu Chengyu today. Could it be that the second child really moved his mind?
Seeing that the two princes had given Gu Chengyu face, Xia Qing couldn't raise any objections.

The third prince saw that the two elder brothers had expressed their views, so he could only respond with a voice.

"Father! My son and I also have the same idea as the eldest brother. If the newly promoted officials have made achievements, but the court has not expressed anything, wouldn't it be cold to their hearts?"

The third prince didn't say a word, that is, it takes so many years for such an evildoer to come out, the worries of those courtiers are purely superfluous, thinking that everyone in the court is Gu Chengyu?
In fact, the third prince felt that his father was right in scolding, and these officials were very slippery.The treasury was so empty, they all thought it was a matter of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they were all waiting to see the joke, but they refused to help them find a solution. I am afraid that the father would have been dissatisfied with them long ago.

However, there are quite a lot of shady schemes behind these old ministers, and all their thoughts are used to calculate others and draw the party's self-interest.Naturally, they don't care about matters of little benefit.

Seeing that the three princes had finally expressed their views, the emperor looked much better.

Xia Qing just doesn't want Gu Chengyu to take advantage of it today, and I'm afraid he can't.Or wait until later to deal with him slowly, the higher you climb, the harder you fall.

When the emperor looked over, Xia Qing hurriedly stepped out, "My minister seconded the proposal!"

Li Wei and Zhang Shuo looked over in surprise and agreed?

Li Wei heaved a sigh of relief, even Mr. Shoufu himself agreed, so he didn't have to be such a villain.

All the officials looked at each other for a few times, and they had no choice but to shout: "The minister waits for second!"

Gu Chengyu knew that this test was passed today, but luckily he didn't offend those ministers to death.The emperor might not be too happy about it, but according to what the emperor said just now, he made it clear that he still needs to be used, so he can think of a way to coax him later.

Of course, this method must satisfy the emperor.Otherwise, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for the emperor to deal with him?Just asking Shangfeng to wear a pair of shoes for him is enough for him.

"Since everyone has no objection, then this matter is settled here."

After a pause, she said in a cold voice: "Gu Aiqing, regarding the matter of Yanyin, within two days, you can draw up a detailed regulation for me."

The emperor thought about it, but he still couldn't just let Gu Chengyu go, he had to squeeze him dry.If you let him know that Gu Chengyu still has something to hide this time, it's up to you how you deal with him.

Gu Chengyu quickly replied: "I obey the order!"

While feeling bitter in his heart, he also breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor should forgive him.It's just that he is still angry, it seems that he has no choice but to hide anything about Yan Yin, and he must satisfy the emperor.

"Let's retreat from the imperial court!" After the emperor finished, without waiting for De'an to shout, he got up from the dragon chair and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, leaving only the officials looking at each other in blank dismay.

When Gu Chengyu followed the officials outside, his expression was still in a daze.Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and he actually felt a little chilly.

He smiled wryly, it turned out that his body was sweating, and his inner clothes were already wet.

The other courtiers hurried out, but they didn't rush back to answer the post, but had to discuss it with their cronies before the implementation of the tea tax, and then they could make a fortune. This was a great opportunity.

Even the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Households were in a hurry, they didn't even have time to take a look at Gu Chengyu, they went straight to the outside of the hall.
