Chapter 49 Choice
After reluctantly giving away three bottles of perfume, Wang Kuo finally won the approval of the girls.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Wang Kuo came out of Huayang Palace rubbing his waist.

Last night Wang Kuo ran into the palace while it was still dark.

The emperor summoned him, so naturally he couldn't go too late, only the courtiers waited for His Majesty, how could His Majesty wait for His Majesty's courtiers?

So when Wang Kuo thought about it, he decided to live in the palace while it was close. After thinking about it, although Huayang Palace is not the closest to His Majesty's Jinluan Hall, the environment here is good. If he wants to serve His Majesty and share his worries, he must have a pair of Full of spirit.

Therefore, even though there were several places in the imperial palace that were closer to Huayang Palace, Wang Kuo resolutely chose Huayang Palace with a better environment.

Only when you are in a good mood and sleep well can you have a better energy, right?
Well, that's what I thought, not to find Concubine Yin.

As soon as he arrived outside the Golden Luan Hall, Wang Kuo was told by the eunuch on duty that His Majesty was still in the morning court and told him to wait patiently.

Well, you are the boss, you have the final say, just wait and wait.

This waited for nearly an hour, until the sky was bright, that is, after nine o'clock, Wang Kuo was informed by the eunuch on duty that His Majesty had summoned him.

Without further ado, Wang Kuo walked through a corridor and two palaces before arriving at Zhu Yu's usual office.

"The humble minister Wang Kuo kowtowed to His Majesty, and wish my emperor long live long live long live." Kneeling outside the door with a curtain behind him, Wang Kuo shouted long live three times.

"Slave dog, you dare to call yourself a lowly official even if you are a sesame mung bean official, and you still don't come in." Zhu Yu's voice came, but judging from the lightness of his words, although it was a curse, it was full of ridicule. Meaning, not angry.So Wang Kuo wasn't nervous, he made a complaint first, and then walked in lightly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the fault of the slave, and the slave is guilty."

As the saying goes, you must stand at attention when you are beaten. In this world, in this era, the horror of imperial power is unimaginable by one person, and everyone is afraid of it.

Although Wang Kuo didn't respect the imperial power, it didn't mean he wasn't afraid. It was better to keep a low profile for a power that could dictate one's own life and death.

"Your servant knows that His Majesty is taking care of everything, working hard every day, and devoting countless efforts for the country and the people. This servant sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart."

Quietly raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yu, and seeing Zhu Yu's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he knew that his flattery was not very good, so he could only continue: "Your Majesty, now the slaves have their own brewed wine and stir-fried wine. The tea leaves can be used to refresh oneself, and I hope that His Majesty will be merciful and allow the slaves to be sent into the palace to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Well, it's only a slave like you who has a heart, Xiao Anzi, after you go down, talk to Wang Qianhu."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shao De'an, who was standing on the side, slightly raised his eyelids when he heard the words, glanced at Wang Kuo, and then continued to recover.

Zhu Yu was very satisfied with Wang Kuo's attitude, and nodded with a smile.

"Yesterday, you did a good job at the Star Observation Tower. You have greatly improved my face. Tell me, I will accept any reward you want."

"Reporting to His Majesty, a slave can share His Majesty's worries and make His Majesty happy. That is the honor of the slave, and it is the job of the slave, so the slave dare not ask for benefits."

"Oh, is that so? If that's the case, forget it."

"This...fuck, why don't you play your cards according to the routine? I should refuse, and you appreciate it so much, so you insist on rewarding it?" Wang Kuo was slightly taken aback by Zhu Yu's words, but he got to the point. Come on, he can't just ask for it, can he?
Wang Kuo was so depressed that he almost scolded his mother in his heart.

"Hmph, dog slave, today I will teach you to be a good boy. From now on, in front of me, if you have something to say, just say it straight. Don't play with your little cleverness, and you will never be merciless next time."

"Yes yes yes. The slave knows his mistake." Wang Kuo was suddenly terrified.

"Well, it's good to know the mistake." Nodding in satisfaction.

"Here with me, those who make meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and those who have done wrong must be punished. You, Wang Kuo, have made great contributions to what happened yesterday, and you have gained a lot of face for me, so you should be rewarded."

"Yes, my servant, thank Your Majesty Ron."

"Well, here I have two options for you to choose, just listen carefully."

"One, I will promote you as Jinyiwei Town Fushi, and you will be promoted by two ranks."

"Second, as far as I know, you have only entered the palace for a few months, and there are not many people who know you, so I can order them to prohibit publicizing your identity and give you a chance to take the imperial examination. Step into the career."

"You can choose one of the above two choices, it's my reward for you." Zhu Yu stared at Wang Kuo, he wanted to see which one this little guy who surprised him would choose.

"Two choices?" Wang Kuo also fell into deep thought when he heard the words. What to choose is very important, and he has to consider more.

Because he has to consider the pros and cons, and which one to choose will be more beneficial to his future.

Jin Yiwei Zhen Fushi, the advantage is that in Jin Yiwei, this position is already comparable to one person under ten thousand people. Apart from the commander, he is one of the two most powerful people.

But the downside is that this position seems to have a bright future, but its limitations are too great. After all, it is just a Jin Yiwei, who can't participate in the government affairs, and can't influence the court situation. , Zhu Wang still needs to consider more or less when dealing with it.

As for the second person to enter the official career, this choice has many advantages. First of all, after taking the imperial examination, he can enter the civil service system of the imperial court, and then gradually get promoted until he is entrenched in the imperial court. If he is more powerful, it is not impossible to establish a party.

But the disadvantage is that the time is too long. To be promoted through an imperial examination, even if you are born as the number one scholar, you are a sixth-rank civil servant. If you want to call the wind and rain in the court, it is impossible without more than ten or even twenty years of accumulation.

Even if Wang Kuo guessed that if he chose this way, Zhu Yu would definitely help him to rise to the top, but it would take at least five or six years to achieve a certain status.

Five or six years is enough for too many things to happen.

Wang Kuo believed that the two options kept passing in his mind.As long as they are a normal person, their choice will be the second, stepping into the official career.

Moreover, Wang Kuo also understood that Zhu Yu actually wanted him to choose the second choice, otherwise why bother to give him the second choice?

It's just that he suddenly thought of a question, that is, can he really rank among the best when he goes to take part in the imperial examination?

"Your Majesty, the servant chooses the first one." Suddenly, Wang Kuo had made a decision, and respectfully knelt down in the tunnel and said, "A high-ranking official with a rich salary and a net worth of hundreds of millions, in the eyes of this servant, is not worth serving for Your Majesty."

"The servant is willing to be a sword in the hands of His Majesty, to remove all obstacles for His Majesty, and please allow His Majesty."

"Slave dog, that sounds nice. Since you chose the first one, then be the first one. Tomorrow, you will go to Nanzhen Fusi to be the governor's envoy, and handle Nanzhen Fusi's affairs with full authority for me. "

"Yes, the servant obeys the order." Wang Kuo kowtowed to thank him.

"Ok!"

Looking at the back of Wang Kuo leaving, Zhu Wang felt a little disappointed.

He guessed right, Zhu Wang's idea was to let Wang Kuo quit Jinyiwei and join the scholars, and let the scholars take the imperial examination to enter the official career, so as to quickly occupy a position in the court with his help.

Nowadays, the civil servants in the world form cliques for selfish interests and work in collusion. No matter how the civil servants fight each other, when facing the emperor, they will unite the front, which makes the emperor's control power go from bad to worse.

So in Zhu Wang's view, since you are one civil servant, and I, the emperor, is excluded, then I will send people into your interior, divide and disintegrate, and break down one by one.

In the past, Wang Kuo lurked into the civil service system to contact like-minded people, and later he used the Jin Yiwei to suppress and clean up. Doesn't he believe that he can't clean up a group of corrupt scholars?
Moreover, Wang Kuo, after observation and investigation, Zhu Yu discovered that this person is smart, and he was able to complete the task he entrusted to Jin Yiwei last time in a short period of time, which shows that this person has skills and is very smart.

Secondly, his literary talents are still very high, and he will definitely have a high starting point when he enters the official career. There is no problem in ranking among the top three in the imperial examination. In this way, with his help, it is not impossible to climb to a high position in a short period of time.

"Concubine Yin is still right. Only when you can control a person's life and death without any reason, I will not be afraid that he will escape from my grasp and fight against me."

Zhu Yu felt sorry for Wang Kuo's choice, but Zhu Yu didn't want to force him to choose the path of becoming a scholar.

Because he is the emperor, he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he has his pride, and he is never allowed to say the words that let Wang Kuo go to lurk, even if he says, he must use the way of instructing.

Since I have a long life, I am honored as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and I am just a group of civil servants with a pen in my hand. Aren’t I afraid that I won’t be able to deal with you?

What's more...

Even if Wang Kuo joined the civil service according to his intention, how many people would know Wang Kuo's identity after being a eunuch for several months?

Even if he can make sure everything is safe by decree, surely no one will reveal Wang Kuo's identity?
Don’t be afraid of [-], just in case. If someone exposes Wang Kuo’s identity, it will be very difficult for him not to say what will happen to Wang Kuo in the end, so don’t go if you don’t go. Gold will shine wherever it goes. It's not a problem for me to use it.

Because of this reason, Zhu Yu didn't force Wang Kuo to do what he had to do, and even generously gave him two choices.

"Hehe, your majesty, your majesty, although your idea is good, but I am not stupid. If I am really exposed, I am afraid that you will be the first one to kill me."

Walking out of the Golden Luan Hall, Wang Kuo shook his head, he is not stupid, it is good that this kind of thing is not exposed, if it is really exposed, Zhu Wang will definitely kill him to silence him.

Just like what Zhu Yu said, the reason for my promotion this time is because I have gained face for the emperor, but thinking about it the other way around, does that mean that the royal family cannot lose face?

"Smack, smack... Although I can't step into the official career and become a member of the civil service, who stipulates that I can't put my hand in it?"

Remembering the world of my last life, there seemed to be some powerful eunuchs who took many civil servants with high status as godsons, right?
